Chapter 827 The Intruders (4K)
The emergence of the Fusion Army was not expected by many.
However, the emergence of the Fusion Army will not change anything for the Dimensional KC Cup.
Even before the duel began, many people familiar with Seto Kaiba had already assumed that a strange force would suddenly appear.
After all, it was something they were very familiar with and experienced to have strange forces suddenly appear and attack everyone in the midst of a bizarre competition.
In fact, compared to their experiences, the Fusion Army seemed rather "peaceful".
Firstly, unlike "Gurus" from Duel City, they did not use stolen fake cards to duel. Although they summoned many "clones" through Pendulum Technology, these Pendulum Personalities were essentially still duelists, and their decks were just the cards they used before. They were much more benevolent than Gurus.
Secondly, although they have card-changing technology similar to the "Orichalcos Barrier," this technology falls under the realm of science. If your abilities are high enough, you can forcibly destroy such a thing before a duel. Furthermore, if you have participated in a duel today and do not want to waste your energy or time again, the Fusion Army cannot do anything to you.
Therefore, in the eyes of the older generation of duelists, this group of fusion soldiers can be considered a new force with "martial virtue" and "card virtue".
but--
For humans from other dimensions, the Fusion Army doesn't have such a good image.
Although such forces have appeared in both the Synchro Dimension and the Xyz Dimension.
For example, users of the "Earthbound" series in the Synchro Dimension borrow the power of Earthbound Priests to rebel against the Upper City. Failure could result in death, but it is a life-or-death situation, a true battle for survival, so there is no need to worry about anything else.
The Xyz Dimension also has similar forces due to the hostility between No. Cards and races.
But whether they are earthbound slaves, hidden seals, or even Baalians from the superdimensional realm, they are all very far removed from ordinary people.
In most cases, unless it's an exceptionally extraordinary situation—like a girl like Mizuki Kotori who can keep up with Yuma no matter where he goes—most people will never encounter this kind of "duel darkness" in their entire lives.
This time, however, the Fusion Army not only brought this darkness to the forefront, but even tore it apart, thoroughly exposing the ritual of "duel," which is purely an entertainment activity in the Xyz and Pendulum dimensions and emphasizes "competition" in the Synchro dimension, to everyone.
Duels are not ordinary games; people can really die!
And it is precisely because of this that many people in the Hyperdimension have some degree of PTSD.
Although the Fusion Army's artificial physical images were largely useless when they were wiped out by the numbered monsters during the Fusion Army's invasion of the Hyperdimension, the remaining Fusion Army soldiers, controlled spirits, and remnants of the Fusion Army still caused terrible casualties in the Hyperdimension.
Those who have died cannot truly come back to life.
This hostility and fear of war awakened the memories of many viewers from the Hyperdimensional Dimension. As a result, a large number of Hyperdimensional viewers flooded into the live stream room of Amagi Hikaru, who was annihilating the Fusion Army and chasing and intercepting them. These viewers were the ones who had supported Amagi Hikaru the most during the previous arguments in Amagi Hikaru's live stream room.
Their loved ones, their friends, and their partners were killed by the Fusion Army right before their eyes. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly believe that the Fusion Army could be any good?
What's wrong with the child?
If they're this naughty as kids, what will they be like when they grow up?
"It's really annoying."
Edphinus put away his Duel Disk, looking at the Fusion Army soldiers turning into cards amidst their wails, his face full of annoyance.
"Is it because that guy used his personality to simulate DD?" Not far away, Saiou handed him a bottle of mineral water and asked him.
According to the rules of the Dimensional KC Cup, all duelists entering Dimensional City are randomly assigned positions. Therefore, even if they agree on a position from the start, they may still be separated by various reasons, making it not an easy thing to meet up with their friends.
But for Saiō Takuma, this was not a troublesome matter.
After the GX tournament, he was in a coma for a long time. After waking up, he and Edward dealt with the aftermath of the Society of Light.
Although his prophetic abilities were somewhat weakened for a period of time, as he recovered, all of his abilities returned to normal.
Before the Darkness incident, he specifically instructed Edward to prepare, and it was later proven that Edward Phoenix did indeed achieve a lot during the Darkness incident, saving Amagi Hikaru and Duel Academy a lot of trouble and finding a lot of useful information.
However, although his prophetic abilities are still very strong, they are no longer at the level they were during the GX tournament. Originally, he simply wanted to support Edward and join in the fun of the KC Cup, without intending to put in too much effort. However, a month ago, he once again experienced the thoughts of "God".
The blessing of the light of destruction.
Although he is no longer the agent of the Light of Destruction, and although his power of the Light of Destruction has been transferred to Amagi and Edward, transforming into the "Phoenix of Destruction," the Light of Destruction itself has not perished, and he naturally has the possibility of receiving the blessing again.
Even Amagi Hikaru knew about this—after giving Gin Meteor the power of "destruction and recycling" last time, and seeing Gin Meteor completely destroyed, he gave up the idea of taking matters into his own hands.
It seems that Prince Zhai should be the one to figure it out!
Rather than hastily choosing a duelist, it would be far more practical to restore Saiō's power.
As a result, Saiou's abilities were amplified once again, allowing him to easily foresee the events that were unfolding before the start of the competition. He made plans with Edward in advance and arrived here while Edward was fighting the Fusion Army.
Edward was used to Saiō's unpredictable appearances and perfect timing. Hearing his words, he covered his forehead and shook his head slightly: "No... what bothers me is that I actually had the idea of joining the Fusion Army as a division commander..."
cough cough-
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhai coughed.
How embarrassing! So embarrassing!
Because Edward almost joined the Fusion Army back then, precisely because of his own recommendation.
At that time, because of the Light of Destruction, he was filled with a desire for destruction, wanting to destroy everything and bring all things back to silence.
It was around that time that Edward almost joined the Fusion Army and became the commander-in-chief of the Fusion Army's invasion of the Hyperion.
Fortunately, when Edward went to the Duel Academy, he unexpectedly entered "another fusion department".
Otherwise, this might be the thing you regret most.
Do not--
Even now, I regret it when I think about it.
When Edward saw the awkward look on Saiō's face, which was now filled with a renewed sense of "holiness," he couldn't help but chuckle, and then burst into laughter—as his inner turmoil was completely resolved, and as his life got back on track, his hidden goofy side was finally unleashed, allowing him to happily tease his good brother.
but……
“A hero cannot remain silent when he sees something like this. Prince, let’s split up from here and see who can save more people.” Edward pointed to both sides of the crossroads.
King Jai looked up and glanced at him twice: "Ed, if that's the case, then you've lost, because there are more Fusion Army soldiers here."
"Ha, wouldn't it be better if you won!"
If the King of Jai wins, it means he has saved more people, and then Aida will naturally be happy.
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhai paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
That's wonderful—that's wonderful!
I feel so much better now than before.
Amid their laughter, the two parted ways in the middle of the crossroads.
In the sky, which they were not paying attention to, several beings began to slowly separate.
These entities are the "Tyrannosaurus Rex Zack," created by the Pendulum Dimension Lion Corporation to combat dark forces, hidden supernatural beings, and protect the Pendulum Dimension from harm, along with four "Pseudo-God Machines" used to monitor it.
As the Fusion Army invaded, some duelists slowly began to "shine." These "inspired" machines gradually developed sentience and began to... seek out users who were compatible with them and could fulfill their potential. "Go—"
Flying at the highest point, the largest and most imposing mechanical dragon, a jet-black creature, looked down upon the four similar machines.
Tyrannosaurus Rex Zak.
The machine created by Reiji Akaba.
But in reality, Reiji Akaba didn't know that the voice in his heart was not "his voice" as he thought, but a powerful being from the future—"the Dragon of Creation's End," also known as "GOD."
What he didn't know was...
In his view, Zack is the savior of their dimension, but for "GOD", the moment Zack stopped the Red Horse Zero King, Zack became "He".
Because everything was locked in that instant, His card merged into the souls of Zack and Zero, and in that instant, "Creation and End" locked onto these two people.
In other words, for the distant future, "Zack" is "GOD"!
Zach is the unfinished "GOD," and "GOD" is the final Zach that has undergone countless evolutions.
Their relationship has become like that of "carbon" and "diamond".
After witnessing the fusion of Amagi Hikaru, the defeat and death of Akaba Zero by Amagi Hikaru, and the final erasure of even the last backup by Yuri, GOD began to look for a new creator.
The son of King Akama Zero, the equally gifted inventor Akama Zero, thus came into His sight.
But he's different from Akama Zero.
Deep within Akaba Rei-ō's heart lies "ambition," but Akaba Reiji does not.
He genuinely wanted to contribute to his world and deeply hated evil.
But it was precisely because of this that GOD also discovered Reiji Akaba's weakness from within him—extreme anxiety.
He was overly worried about his world and his dimension. Although their world was indeed full of unstable points, it was not actually going to fall into a dangerous situation as long as he didn't add fuel to the fire.
But now, things are not so sure.
The perpetual motion machine, and the "Tyrannosaurus Rex Zach" created under His guidance, have become crises in the pendulum dimension. To deal with these crises, Reiji Akaba will naturally pay a greater price and put in more effort to stop them, which will cause the already unbalanced lever to shake even more.
Once this arms race-like situation gets out of balance, it will ultimately lead to "destruction"!
When Zach, in a daze, finally came back to his senses from the division and hesitation of the living world, he merged into the Tyrannosaurus Rex Zach. Seeing this bloodthirsty and crazy scene, the influence of Zach's failure back then could be repeated, and it might even drive that upright duelist completely insane.
For Him, that was like a windfall.
Moreover, He didn't need to compare carefully to see that, of the four lives that Zack had reincarnated into, the most outstanding and strongest was still "Youli".
Zack truly regained consciousness, and the influence of the game on him was the greatest.
Go forth, dragons! Follow your instincts and guide the pendulum!
Now that things have come to this, even if He takes no action, the pendulum of His soul will not stop swinging.
All that is left for Him is to wait, to wait for the final outcome!
The result of the pendulum!
He turned his gaze back to the future, shattered a planet, then created another from its debris, and continued wandering, leaving everything behind. He awaited the outcome.
And the pendulum...
"Fear of whales: direct attack."
In front of a "card shop" plaza in Tsutono City, a steady voice rang out, and then, in the sky, a huge blue mechanical whale unfolded its body structure, revealing countless cannons.
The cannons began to accumulate energy, eventually unleashing countless energy cannons that bombarded the opponent.
"Wash away your sins."
"A reversal of fortune!"
Boom boom boom—
"Caw!"
A Fusion Army soldier was thus turned into a card in this duel.
After the duel ended, Yugi Muto shook his head.
Fusion Army...
He looked at the card in his hand.
The experiment went pretty well; I think I can try it out with Yuya later.
Lost in thought, he was pondering something when suddenly, a sense of "fear" flashed through his mind. He looked up sharply, quickly locked his gaze, and looked through countless buildings, elves, and fusion armies to meet the eyes of a certain being.
Across the street, a man stood with his hands in his pockets, smiling gently.
He was dressed in very plain red clothes and wore a hat that obscured his face so much that the game couldn't see his eyes at all and couldn't be sure if he was actually making eye contact with the other person.
Yugi Muto's brows furrowed instantly.
This feeling.
This feeling—
The man looked like an ordinary person, even too ordinary, so much so that he could blend into a crowd and be easily spotted.
However, it was precisely this unusual nature that made Yugi Muto's heart pound. His soul, his body, and even the cards were all reminding him to be careful, careful, and careful!
because……
Yugi Muto felt a familiar feeling, a feeling that even seemed "absolutely impossible" to him—
The feeling of a creator god of light!
That's impossible!
He even had an urge to rub his eyes to see if he was overthinking things. Just then, he suddenly noticed the red figure gently raise its hand and wave at him.
Game paused for a moment, then waved back. Many Pokémon and Duelists noticed Game waving and immediately screamed and cheered.
And at that very moment.
A flash of red light appeared.
The figure was gone.
Yugi Muto's pupils contracted.
It's not an illusion!
The elves and humans didn't see him at all!
Seahorse-kun —
Something truly incredible has been mixed into your KC cup!
