Chapter 837
The Final Test?
Chapter 837 The Final Test? (4K, Happy New Year!!)
Yuya's current state somewhat resembles the three great philosophies of life.
who am I?
where am I?
What am I going to do?
He never expected that he would see his two "brothers" on the way after he had just rescued a group of people and was on his way to find Youzi.
Now, he has learned about "Zack" from his father, and therefore, he has a certain understanding of those extradimensional beings who look like him.
Beyond that, he is also someone who, like Yuri, clearly knows that all the "Adams" exist and has actually seen them.
During the WRGP tournament in Synchro Dimension, he went to the party hosted by Serena with Yuzu. Although he was being watched by Ruri Kurosaki's brother, he had met Yuuto once. Yuugo, a contestant in WRGP, was one of the very few peers who had fought against Team 5DS, so he naturally paid attention to him.
Of course, there's another point. He later met Ruri Kurosaki and learned about Yuto's existence from her. He also watched the entire duel between Yuri and Rin with Ruri Kurosaki.
Therefore, he was quite experienced in distinguishing between brothers.
Therefore, he knew that Yugo and Yuto should not have any grudges, and theoretically, they should not be dueling at this time.
However, this is only "theoretically".
This is Citono City, where the largest and most prestigious dueling event in the entire dimension—the Dimensional KC Cup—is currently being held.
This grand event has only one goal: to become the strongest duelist.
Therefore, Yuya had no idea how the two of them had actually fought.
Maybe they simply saw each other on the street, figured the other might have a lot of puzzle cards, and then started a challenge.
If that's the case, it would be very inappropriate for him to disturb us so abruptly.
But as the duel progressed, he soon realized—he had made a mistake.
Yugo mistook Yuto for Yuri, while Yuto was somewhat confused by Yugo's inexplicable hostility and the name.
In that case, explaining it isn't really a big deal.
However, just as he was thinking and doing this, things gradually took an unexpected turn.
Originally, after hearing his explanation, although the two were still somewhat hostile, they both happened to know Yuya, so with Yuya as the middleman, they were able to calm down.
However, the duel had already begun, and if they didn't continue at this point, they would be somewhat unqualified as duelists.
Moreover, although they are not "enemies," everyone in this Cido City is each other's opponent, so there is no burden in continuing the duel.
They agreed that the loser would receive three puzzle cards, and then the duel would continue.
Simply having a duel is fine too.
however--
As the duel progressed, for some reason, Yugo and Yuto became particularly angry, their tempers flared, their eyes gleamed, and the destruction caused by the monster images became increasingly realistic.
The duel was heading in an unpredictable and uncontrollable direction, which greatly alarmed Yuya, who was originally just watching.
More importantly, when the two of them simultaneously summoned monsters whose names contained the phrase "Four Heavenly Dragons," Yuya knew—something was wrong.
The two dragons resonated in the dueling arena, and the vibrations caused by their sounds were so powerful that the ground and streetlights in Tsutono City cracked and shattered!
Clearly, these two monsters had transcended their normal physical forms and become the real "elves" he had ever seen before!
There's something wrong with these two cards!
And further—
A few days ago, he also obtained a card called the Four Heavenly Dragons!
What happened? How could this be?!
He was initially excited, thinking it was a gift he had earned through his dueling growth, but he never expected there to be a problem with it.
"No, no—"
suddenly.
He suddenly slapped the back of his head.
wrong.
He realized that something was wrong with his emotions just now.
Clearly, it wasn't just the two people in the duel who were affected by the emotions; even he, a bystander, was influenced.
How could he possibly get upset over something like this?
Having witnessed so many outrageous things compared to others, and after personally dueling with his father, how could he possibly get angry so easily?
Clearly, the card was affecting his thoughts.
He took out the Four Heavenly Dragon, its heterochromatic eyes gleaming slightly, as if it were resonating with the dragons outside.
Yuya frowned and looked up at his two brothers.
It turned out to be the case.
Is this... the "fate" that my father had mentioned I would have to face sooner or later?
He watched the two locked in a fierce duel and took a deep breath.
We must not allow tragedy to unfold before our eyes.
He held up the card in his hand.
Even if its origin is questionable, the card itself is not wrong. Just like there are differences between Fusion Army and Amagi, as long as you use this card for entertainment from the bottom of your heart, you won't disrupt other people's world.
The image of the heterochromatic dragon slowly appeared behind him, making the two dragons in the duel even more agitated.
"You two, wake up! This isn't a duel at all!"
Yugo turned to look at him, seemingly bewildered as to what had happened.
After Yudou spoke, he turned his head away and stopped looking at Tongdiaolong.
He exchanged a glance with Yuya, then instinctively blinked and gently rubbed his eyes. The light in his eyes was replaced by his own gaze, then filled with light again. After doing this twice, he calmed down.
After he calmed down, the Super Dragon also gradually quieted down and became more reserved, no longer provoking its opponent, but instead using the sound to wary of it.
Without the Xyz Dragon's resonance, the Synchro Dragon no longer roared so intensely, which gradually brought Yugo, who relied more on instinct, back to his senses.
He broke out in a cold sweat, recalling what had just happened, and felt as if cameras were everywhere, snapping away at him.
He felt a little ashamed, and his face turned slightly red.
When he came to his senses, even he felt that he had just acted stupidly and somewhat idiotically.
After the two calmed down, they thanked Yuya, who was finally relieved.
As the riots subsided, Yuya looked at the Odd-Eyes Dragon, which had transformed back into a card, and felt a strange sense of unease.
For some reason, he had a feeling that he had become stronger even though he hadn't actually fought.
Meanwhile, his two Adam brothers finally came to their senses.
In fact, besides the resonance with the dragon, there was another reason why the two of them behaved so strangely just now.
That is, during their duel, they clearly sensed a certain "concept".
This concept is called—if I beat my opponent, I will definitely become stronger!
This is something many duelists have experienced, such as Manjoume who dueled with Jaden, or Edward and Amon. It's a very common situation, often seen in duelists who encounter a "destined opponent" or engage in a "destined duel."
Even Hikaru Amagi had a similar instinct when he fought Tiera.
Both he and Tierra could sense that if the fight went to the end, the victor would definitely evolve to a more complete state.
However, how the duel will actually proceed, whether it will be a fight to the death or a mutually beneficial one, depends on what the two duelists are thinking.
Once they calmed down, the two no longer had the urge to tear their opponent apart, but at the same time, they understood a fact more clearly.
That is, it seems that after defeating their opponents, they will naturally become stronger.
The reason is... [The Four Heavenly Dragons].
"I can't afford to lose! I still need to avenge Rin and find that guy!"
"...I see. In that case, our thoughts seem to be similar."
Yugo and Yuto exchanged ideas.
Then--
It's a pure duel!
A pure contest of skill, without any extraneous factors!
While the two were trying to determine a winner, Hikaru Amagi walked forward along the main road.
He planned to go to the branch office of Haima Company to exchange the puzzle cards he had collected over the past few days.
After all, he not only had to deal with those annoying fusion troops, but he also had to make sure he could advance in rank.
The good news is that he wiped out a lot of the Fusion Army, so he collected quite a few cards.
The bad news is that even he isn't sure which of these cards are real and which are fake.
But it doesn't matter.
It's only the second day of the competition, there's no need to rush.
Compared to other places and city alleys, the area near the Haima branch in the city center is much busier. Even the Fusion Army doesn't come here much, and the reason is simple.
The duelists here are those who truly have confidence in themselves.
After all, although the exact location of the final match is unknown, the city center is a dueling hub where duelists from all over can come and challenge almost any duelist from all directions.
Hikaru Amagi not only saw some powerful Pokémon here, but also several familiar friends. Even Ryuzaki the Dinosaur greeted him nearby before leaving in a hurry.
Although he was happy to see Amagi Hikaru, Jonouchi was more important than finding Amagi Hikaru, an opponent he could find anytime.
Hikaru Amagi met his teachers and friends here. They not only challenged various strong opponents here, but also set off from here to find the Fusion Army or other Pokémon that had entered this dimension for duels. Because of this, Hikaru Amagi took the opportunity to ask them if they had any information about Yuri's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, he searched all the way but no one had seen Yuri. Yuri seemed to have crawled out of the ground, existing in this dimension but deeply lurking. She would only suddenly appear when she wanted to devour a duelist, silently eliminating the enemy and then hiding again.
It's a real headache.
"If you want to find him, I can give you an answer."
Suddenly, Amagi Hikaru heard this voice in his ear.
This is a very familiar voice.
But Hikaru Amagi couldn't recall where he had heard that voice before.
He turned around hesitantly and somewhat stiffly toward the source of the sound.
In the crowd, a figure he hadn't noticed before was standing there, calmly speaking.
He was wearing a simple jacket and a red hat that covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his features.
Amagi Hikaru's pupils contracted.
He felt a headache coming on; his body seemed to be warning him, as if seeing this person would cause him intense pain.
Hikaru Amagi opened his mouth wide.
"You are--"
His mouth opened, but no sound came out. He stared at the other person in astonishment, unable to utter a word.
Meanwhile, Tiera finally noticed something was wrong.
When did this person appear here?!
Little Red Riding Hood looks into the distance, seemingly traversing dimensions and worlds, gazing at something.
"Soon, this world, no, you, will face the final test. It is your test, but it will also determine the fate of your world."
"I?"
Why am I the only one?
“I already told you the answer beforehand, right when you asked me.”
when?
What did I ask?
Hikaru Amagi's movements seemed to slow down by hundreds of thousands of times, as if she were still, listening to his words but not responding.
However, something flickered faintly in his memory.
The duel with the Overlord, and the duel in the unfinished universe, both drew him to a being so vast that human memory could not comprehend it, and at that time, he seemed to have asked something.
What is it?!
Could it be—
The root cause of the destruction of the Elf Realm!?
"Get ready, Hikaru Amagi, Tiera."
The two of them suddenly felt much lighter.
"What do you want me to do?" Amagi Hikaru asked, rubbing his throat.
Little Red Riding Hood didn't answer. A smile slowly crept across his veiled face, and then he raised his hand, pointing a single finger at the sky.
Radiance—
Endless light!
Endless rays of light fell from the sky!
It was as if the sky was covered by countless suns.
This endless light completely illuminated Amagi Hikaru's world, turning it white. As the light emerged, the white gradually faded, and darkness gradually replaced his surroundings.
It was pure black, blacker and deeper than any black that Hikaru Amagi had ever seen.
one second.
Two seconds?
The process seemed long, but it actually passed in the blink of an eye. When he came to his senses, Hikaru Amagi found himself standing on some ruins.
"Huh? Is this the Elf Realm?" Tiera exclaimed in surprise, her voice booming.
When Tiera realized what the person in the red hat was, she was already prepared to be thrown into the unfinished universe along with Hikaru Amagi.
Compared to the last time when He threw Amagi out without saying anything, this time He was much more "friendly".
But, the Elf Dimension...
"Huh, another human?"
A valiant black-clad, twin-tailed, masked insect warrior from Guangdong strode over. It glanced at Hikaru Amagi, then suddenly paused, its mask flashing with countless red warning lights.
"etc!!?"
It stared in astonishment at the faint red light emanating from Amagi Hikaru's body—
"You are, you are—you were sent by that lord!? That means...we can finally truly leave!?"
Huh? Hikaru Amagi is still a little confused about the situation.
"Ahem, I am the leader of the G Clan, Black Bright of the G Team!" The valiant warrior excitedly stretched his limbs. "Come on, young man, challenge me, and then try your best to defeat me!"
"Otherwise—you'll never be able to leave here!"
4K4K, Happy New Year everyone!
