Chapter 877

~7 min read 1,315 words

"Did you really know my father?"

Yusei was surprised.

Fujiki You Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, with a look of reminiscence on his face: "Yes. In the blink of an eye, seventeen years have passed..."

This statement was not purely random nonsense; as far as his current persona is concerned, it is not entirely a lie.

After all, his current identity is Lei Kesi Godwin. Seventeen years ago, before the tragedy of the Zero Reverse occurred, the Rudger brothers were both members of the Perpetual Motion Machine Research Institute, and they were indeed companions with Dr. Fudou who completed that dream machine, the Mark 0.

Of course, Lei Kesi Godwin at that time was still very young and far from having the sophistication he has today.

Later, that legendary D-Wheeler who circulated in the Satellite, who tried to build the Daedalus Bridge to the city, was then surrounded and captured by the Sector Security, and finally had no way out and drove his D-Wheel to leap off the Daedalus Bridge, that man who symbolized freedom, was also Lei Kesi Godwin in his youth.

"Fudou Yusei, I have always believed that you possess infinite possibilities, because you are the one who inherited Dr. Fudou's will and will guide the Satellite and New Domino... no, all of humanity toward a bright future."

"Never forget this, Fudou Yusei."

Yusei's expression was solemn, as if he also felt the weight of what he was carrying.

"Alright, the battle with the Dark Signers ends here. Everyone, go back and rest."

Fujiki You Xuan said.

"Here, on behalf of the Sector Security and the entire New Domino, I express my gratitude to all of you who fought for this city. And I guarantee that this city will know who stood up for them at the most critical moment."

By the time he said this, the Signers indeed felt exceptionally exhausted. The battles with the Dark Signers were all gambles with life and death, and after the life-and-death battles, the few of them were exhausted and indeed wanted to go back to rest.

So, everyone went their separate ways and returned to their own homes.

Except for Aki.

"Are you not planning to go back?"

Fujiki You Xuan still mimicked Godwin with his hands behind his back, walking slowly toward his helicopter dedicated to the Sector Security, while glancing sideways at Aki, who was following him at a distance.

Aki looked at the ground in a daze: "I have nowhere else to go."

Fujiki You Xuan looked at the dejected girl sideways for a moment, then said calmly: "It's about time you went home to take a look."

Aki just shook her head: "Home? I don't have such a place. Parents who look at me with such fearful eyes... it's better not to go back to such a home..."

"Fear of powerful strength and the unknown is human instinct. Perhaps they were wrong, but there is no need to be too harsh on them. After all, even if they were afraid, they never said they would give up on you, did they?" Fujiki You Xuan said.

Aki: "..."

Fujiki You Xuan only mentioned it briefly; as for how Aki handles her relationship with her family later, he had no time to care.

That night passed without a word.

However, within this single day, rumors had already begun to spread in New Domino and the Satellite.

This is also a matter of course. No matter how much information was blocked, the duels between the Signers and the Dark Signers indeed caused quite a stir.

Especially the appearance of the Earthbound Immortals; each one was of a size that stood tall and upright, and every time they were summoned or attacked, it was accompanied by earth-shaking movements.

If it were just this, it would be fine, but the Earthbound Immortals also had the setting of eating a bunch of souls every time they appeared. With such a commotion, it was inevitable that they would be noticed.

In just one day, the city was already in a state of panic, and even doomsday theorists took the opportunity to run rampant, preaching that the end of the world had arrived, and that yesterday's anomaly was God descending to earth to impose divine punishment on this unjust and erroneous human world.

Of course, the people who said this obviously didn't know that the so-called god they spoke of had already had its dog head beaten in and had tucked its tail and fled back to the Huang Quan.

Panic spread in the city, but it was not a big problem; this was already in the plan.

The next day, "Director Godwin" of the Sector Security personally held a press conference to explain all the abnormal situations from the previous day to the citizens.

But contrary to expectations, this time the Sector Security did not bring out the loophole-ridden excuse of "testing the latest imaging system," but directly admitted the existence of the evil gods.

The Earthbound Immortals awakened from the Nazca Lines, and the duelists who controlled the Earthbound Immortals and returned from the Huang Quan... this city and this world almost faced a catastrophe.

The Sector Security admitted everything in front of the public.

So, naturally, this immediately caused an uproar.

Previously, the Crimson Dragon had appeared in the city, and Earthbound Immortals had also been summoned in the city. The Sector Security explained at the time that it was testing the imaging system, but some people among the public didn't buy it, thinking it was a lie made up by the Sector Security to appease the public. But even so, there was no solid evidence at that time.

But now there is. The Sector Security came forward personally and told everyone that the supernatural indeed exists, gods and demons indeed exist, and all of them almost perished at the hands of the evil gods last night.

"However, citizens, you don't need to worry. The Sector Security will do everything in its power to protect everyone's safety. The evil gods have been successfully repelled and will no longer be a threat from now on."

Director Godwin said to the camera at the press conference.

"And all of this is thanks to the warriors chosen by the Crimson Dragon, the 'Signers', who stood up. They risked their lives and fought bloody battles to defeat the messengers of the Huang Quan. They are all heroes guarding the front line of the city."

Thus, along with this sensational news, several Signers also became famous.

Needless to say, the former Duel King Jack Atlas was already a star-like existence admired by everyone in New Domino. Fudou Yusei, who defeated Jack, has also had a great reputation recently, and in the eyes of the world, he has begun to rise from "Satellite trash" to "New King".

Izayoi Aki was once known as a witch and was highly resisted, but after today, she began to become controversial. Of course, some still call her a witch and cannot easily forget the destruction she caused in the past, but people who view her as a hero have also begun to appear.

The Sector Security controls most of the resources in this city. As long as the Sector Security wholeheartedly wants to promote something, it only takes some time to cover up the negative voices.

Just as "Director Godwin" promised, Aki really began to change from a witch whom everyone shouted to beat into one of the heroes symbolizing the city's hope.

The Signers returned to their homes, and the battle with the Dark Signers seemed to have come to an end.

However, Fujiki You Xuan was actually not as confident as he appeared in his television speech.

At this moment, he was thinking.

The battle of the Dark Signers... has it really ended?
