Chapter 1517

"I was wrong."

Nash repeated again.

He looked at the Barian city behind him and continued.

"Coming to this place, here I saw another version of myself in a parallel time and space... Nash," Nash sighed and said, "And then I also realized how stupid I was."

"Because the 'Nash' of this world let me see myself... let me see the possibilities caused by me going my own way on the path I chose."

Yuma asked cautiously: "What possibilities?"

"The 'me' of this world defeated you... he killed you, killed Astral, and Kite... and everyone," Nash said faintly, "The humans of this world were destroyed. 'I' got my wish and won the Barian world's victory."

"But during this battle, the Barian world itself suffered heavy losses. The Barian Seven Emperors, my sister, my companions, they all died in battle."

"'I', although I won, was left all alone. Whether as Barian companions or human companions, everything was destroyed, leaving me only with endless loneliness and regret."

Yuma showed a sad expression: "Shark..."

"So after coming to this dimension and understanding all this, I took down the Nash of this dimension," Nash said, "Because he was the murderer who killed my best friend with his own hands. Just looking at him, looking at that face, made me disgusted."

"And he also accepted death calmly, almost as if he were intentionally seeking death. It's just that before he died, he finally asked me to do one thing, and I promised him..."

Astral had already guessed: "You promised him to protect his city, his Barian, for him, is that it?"

"Yes," Nash said, "Although I defeated him, I am ultimately the leader of Barian—even if not of this dimension. So I fulfilled the promise and have helped him defeat several waves of enemies so far, protecting this Barian city... but this is about as far as it goes."

"As far as it goes... are you going to give up this city?" Yuma asked.

"No."

Nash said.

"During the time I fought here instead of the Nash here, it wasn't just dueling. From the beginning, I never thought about following the survival rules of this bullshit dimension and playing like this forever."

Yuma seemed to have guessed something: "Ah, could it be that you mean..."

"Yes, while fighting, I have never given up looking for clues to the mastermind. And now, I believe I am close to the truth."

Nash looked up and pointed at the nothingness in the sky.

In that strangely colored sky, it looked like aurora was rippling, and there was nothing.

Yuma frowned and looked in the direction he was pointing: "I don't think there's anything there..."

Judai looked up and quickly switched to his eye-mode to look at that direction in the sky, but seemed to understand something quickly: "I see. Is it there?"

Yusei: "Did Judai-senpai see something?"

"No, I can't see it clearly," Judai shook his head, "But if you observe carefully after being reminded, the space there seems to indeed have slight distortions compared to other parts of this dimension..."

Yugi gently stroked the Millennium Puzzle hanging on his chest and also said: "There is indeed a faint dark aura coming from that direction, an aura similar to the Millennium Items."

Nash said: "I also discovered some anomalies with the help of Barian technology. I think the guy who dominates this dimension and makes all duelists have to kill each other to survive might be in that place."

He closed his eyes gently, took a deep breath, as if pondering for a moment before turning to Yuma.

"In our world, we were thrown into two opposite positions. You represent humanity, while I had to fight as Barian. This is our fate, like a cruel joke played by destiny. I had no choice, so I chose a side and decided to fight on, no matter what sins I had to bear."

Yuma opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Nash's wave.

"But coming to this world, seeing the 'me' who 'won' in a parallel time and space, and seeing the true appearance of the 'victory' I pursued, I regretted it."

Nash continued.

"And the time and space we are in, this place called the survival dimension, is like destiny mocking me, throwing us into similar positions again."

"In this place, all cities and all duelists have no choice, they must fight each other and destroy each other, only by destroying others can they exchange for their own survival... it's exactly the same as the positions of humans and Barians."

Yuma and Astral: "......"

"So this time, I won't make a choice easily again, and I won't accept the manipulation of fate so simply."

Nash clenched his fists and said firmly.

"If fate calls for us to fight, then let's tell fate to get lost. Whoever the demon god who created this perverted dimension is, we will drag him out and defeat him. Even if it's a future destined for destruction, we will forge it into the shape we want!"

Yuma showed a moved expression: "Shark..."

He couldn't help but rub his nose and said: "Yes, that's how it should be! Never accepting fate, persisting to the end, finding a result where everyone can get a HE, this is our 'Kattobingu'!"

Nash hummed, his mouth raised, and did not refute.

It probably also meant that they had reconciled.

This battle was also of extraordinary significance to them.

If they could reverse the rules of this dimension here and resist the laws of the world to defeat the mastermind demon god, then perhaps after returning to their own world, they could also find a solution to the problem.

Humans, Barians, Astral World, perhaps they don't have to kill each other. They must also be able to find a way to coexist peacefully.

Yes, they definitely can. Yuma clenched his fists, determined in his heart.

Fujiki You Xuan on the side didn't speak. But of course, as someone who had read the script, Fujiki You Xuan naturally knew that the teacher could do it.

Because in the world of ZEXAL, the ultimate solution to any contradiction and all problems is the Numeron Code.

Once the teacher takes down the old man and gets the Numeron Code, he will have the ability to reshape the world as he pleases according to his own ideas.

He can bring any dead person back to life with a single thought, and can even directly rewrite the origins of Barian and Astral World, directly making everyone's positions good brothers and partners from birth and background, eliminating the contradictions and barriers between races... No, saying elimination is not appropriate, but making the contradictions not exist at all from the beginning.

Letting hostile dimensions coexist harmoniously sounds like a childish idea like a fairy tale, but as long as you get the Numeron Code, even the most naive idea can come true with a single thought.
