Chapter 940: We Will Meet Again

Boom—

The Underworld King has fallen.

Yes, this time it's different from the anime. In the anime, this unlucky Underworld King at least drilled its whole body out of the underworld, walked all the way from the Satellite to the city, and was only pierced by a strike from Majestic Star Dragon commanded by Yusei, who gained the power of the Crimson Dragon, when it was close to the city, turning into ashes.

However, here, the unlucky Underworld King didn't even stick its head out of the underworld, and didn't even see what the world of the living looked like before it was pressed by the three giants...

"Roar ahhh—"

Leaving a final roar of unwillingness, the Underworld King's body, which was like soft glue, exploded, and was blasted into powder under the entanglement of red, gold, and blue energy. The huge shell exploded into fragments, bursting and shooting in all directions, completely dissipating.

Large clumps of black mud-like substances exploded from the twisted body, but disappeared in mid-air. However, besides that, more dazzling golden light was released from it, like a pillar of light reaching the sky, and then exploded into stars all over the sky, covering the Satellite and the city at the same time like raindrops.

Those are... souls.

Human souls, and most of them are still fresh.

And at the moment of the explosion, with the help of the Earthbound Immortal's power, You Xuan indeed saw the strongest few light clusters released from that energy, and also the first few souls to explode.

They were Dark Signer Carly Carmine, Kalin Kessler, Boomer, and the model Misty who fought Akiza.

These four people also came back to life, just like in the original work.

You Xuan couldn't help but sigh again, as expected, the Underworld King is really a rare good boss in the heavens. Several Dark Signers have been hung up for so long and haven't been digested yet. After it hung up, they could be fished back from the underworld.

Including all those other souls. Most of them were sacrifices prepared by the Dark Signers for the descent of the Earthbound Immortals, and were souls that had already been devoured. At this moment, as the Underworld King exploded, all these trapped souls were released and returned to their original state.

The three Earthbound Immortals hung in the sky above New Domino City, You Xuan, who controlled the three Earthbound Immortals, was in the middle of these three demons, with three-colored energy blessed by the Earthbound Immortals surging on his body, stepping on the air and floating, looking up at the souls that were constantly being released from the explosion of the Underworld King to the surroundings.

"In this way, it's finally truly over..."

You Xuan let out a long breath.

Zone should be satisfied with this result. He played the role of Goodwin's final boss well and pulled the derailed historical trajectory back on track.

If he had to say, he won against Yusei's trio, which might be different from the original history, but he felt that this was instead a greater help to the evolution of the protagonists, so it shouldn't be a bad thing.

At this time, Yusei and the others also looked at the dreamy spectacle of stars all over the sky.

Yusei: "Could this be... the souls of those who disappeared in the Dark Signer incident..."

Crow said happily: "Does that mean the children and companions who disappeared in the Satellite are also..."

He had been depressed for a long time after the Dark Signer war ended. Because even if the war was won, a price was paid in the end. He lost some companions he used to know, and a few children he had taken care of. It was precisely because of this that he had such a firm determination to fight, swearing to be at odds with the Dark Signers.

But they didn't even dare to think that those who had already died could actually come back to life!

Jack was happy for a moment, but then fell into deep thought.

He originally thought Carly had hung up, so he almost confessed to her. As a result, you tell me now that she is not dead, and there is still a rescue?

Happy is happy, but Jack couldn't help but think about the philosophical proposition of "whether women will affect my card-drawing strength" again.

In short, such a result is undoubtedly happy for everyone, and it is definitely a surprise beyond everyone's expectations.

The image of the Earthbound Immortal in the sky disappeared, and Akiza was the first to notice when You Xuan landed.

"Goodwin... no, your name is actually You Xuan, right?"

Akiza said.

"Before this duel, was it originally such a plan?"

Crow also suddenly realized:

"Did you know from the very beginning that only by opening that portal and then defeating that Underworld monster head-on could all the dead people return to the living world?"

"Don't you all misunderstand."

You Xuan smiles.

"I just wanted to duel you all, nothing more. I don't have any thoughts of saving the world or delivering all living beings from torment; I'm not that great."

No one argues with him. But the 5ds group looks at each other, reaching a consensus through their eyes.

Tsundere, definitely a tsundere, just refusing to admit it.

They are familiar with this, because Jack has the same temperament.

Seeing that the few don't seem to believe him, You Xuan is also helpless. He truly didn't think that winning this ritual would incidentally bring the dead back to life. The reason he played this deck was because of Zone's commission, and it was also just a way to save this dimension.

Well, if they want to think that way, let them; there's no need to explain.

You Xuan even begins to ponder: did Zone, who gave him this commission, calculate from the start that it would lead to this result?

"Alright, I'm tired after such a match. Everyone go home and get some rest."

You Xuan waves his hand, turns to leave, and lazily lets out a yawn.

"Wait, hold on."

Yusei calls him to a stop.

"Fujiki You Xuan, we are companions, right? Will we meet again in the future?"

Because You Xuan had been interacting with them as Godwin all this time, dropping the mask now, and having completely settled the Dark Signer affair, it truly gives people the feeling that "a period has been placed at the end."

Furthermore, You Xuan just said he came from another dimension, so once things are settled, it is very possible he will vanish from their lives forever.

Thinking of this possibility, Aki's heart also sinks for no reason.

Is this perhaps a final farewell?

You Xuan pauses his steps, looks back to meet their gazes, and then gives a carefree smile.

"Who knows?"

He waves his hand and continues walking away.

"When fate brings us together, we'll probably meet again."

Meanwhile, in the infinite space.

Antinomy, who watched the entire process in the subspace realm, ponders for a good while before saying: "Fujiki You Xuan, the King of the other world... truly unfathomable."

He turns to look at Zone: "Do you think this is his full strength?"

Zone asks back: "What do you think?"

Antinomy shakes his head: "I don't know."

After another moment of silence, Antinomy says again: "Then, it's my turn to step out in the next phase."

"Mm."

Zone says calmly.

"Fudo Yusei is already beginning to crave new power and is about to enter the fast lane of evolution. If it's you, you should be able to successfully guide him to see a new path.

To become Fudo Yusei's companion, for this, I may need to completely erase your memories, and even your perception of your own identity."

"It doesn't matter."

Antinomy doesn't hesitate.

"Zone, as long as it is for you, I am willing to do anything."

Zone lets out an aged sigh.

"Then I leave it to you, Antinomy."
