The combined power of the two Obelisks, the double divine fist crushed everything, and the destruction of the Cubic monster was equivalent to announcing Z-ONE's defeat.
The storm finally stopped.
The figure of the Egyptian God gradually disappeared from the field. The evil god of the Cubic still stood tall with his teeth and claws. After being knocked over by the power of destruction again, he actually got up and started dancing his arms, like a steel tumbler.
But that’s all.
Crimson Nova Trinity the Dark Cubic Lord was not defeated in the end, but that was meaningless. The duelist who controlled it was defeated, and the duel ended there. No matter how powerful the monster was, it could not break free from the constraints of duel rules. If your master lost, you lost. Even God could not change this reality.
The mechanical device Z-ONE was riding on swayed in the storm of divine power and was hit head-on by the shattering wave of the divine fist, flying across the field like a baseball being hit. Blue waves followed closely behind him as if an invisible blade cut through the earth.
He slammed into the wall behind the arena, and the ring-shaped wall cracked in a radial pattern. The steel bar protruded from the cement, broke hard against the steel-gray metal shell, and flew out in a spin.
Z-ONE's body and the vehicle he was riding on became translucent. Light blue arcs of electricity shot out with him as the center, and the space where he was seemed to be slightly distorted.
"…It seems the time is almost up." He murmured to himself.
Although he could jump at will in the long river of time and return to any era in the past, those were not his own time and space.As a time traveler, he had an existence similar to an "anchor" in his own time and space, which can instantly pull him back to his own time no matter which time and space he is in.
But the attack from the Egyptian God just now seemed to have damaged this system, triggering the insurance mechanism of the space-time system. His "anchor" was forcibly activated and soon he would be forced back to his own time.
Yuei Vu put away the Duel Disk and stepped forward: "I guess when you said that I was destined to fail, you definitely didn't expect this."
Z-ONE pondered for a moment and said, "It's just a duel. One victory cannot win the entire war."
"But to win the war, you must start with the first victory." Yuei Vu said.
"That doesn't prove you can make a change."
"It also doesn't prove that I can't."
"…"
Muto Yugi, who had been watching quietly, hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward: "I dare not say that I understand what you are going through, but… I also have some ideas."
He glanced at Aigami beside him – only then did the latter realize that there was someone here who remembered him.
"Aigami and his companions told me their plan," Yugi said. "They told me about the new world they pursue, a world without darkness and strife, and a bright future.
Only the chosen ones can go to that wonderful world. They said that I was born to be their companion, and they were willing to accept me as one of them. "
Indeed, both Sera and Aigami mentioned in the original work that Muto Yugi was also a person with "Prana" qualifications. Aigami even invited him to abandon this old world and go to the new dimension together, but he refused.
Of course, he would refuse.
For Aigami and the others, there was nothing worth cherishing in this world. The tragic experiences of their childhoods have long since destroyed all their hopes for the world. Now the light they were pursuing lied in the beautiful new dimension that Shadi described to them.
But it’s different for Yugi. Here he had too many things that he couldn’t let go of.
He had his dearest grandfather, companions who had experienced life and death together, and precious memories that would never fade no matter ten or a hundred years pass.
He looked at Aigami.
"Aigami, maybe in your opinion, our world is chaotic and full of darkness. Maybe you think it is hopeless. But even so, there are companions here, and there are many irreplaceable people who are worth fighting for."
Aigami: "…"
Yugi looked at Z-ONE and said seriously: "So I will stay in this world that belongs to us. And like Yuei Vu, I believe in our future."
Not only because I can't let go of my companions and my current life, but also because of my other self who is no longer here.
"Duel King", this title was the most precious thing Atem left to him. That was the highest honor, a symbol of strength and status, but it was also a responsibility.
Another world that he had made a huge sacrifice to save was now handed over to him along with the title of "Duel King".
Then how could he ignore the future of this world?
"…Maybe you still have a chance."
Z-ONE's figure has become so transparent that it has almost disappeared, and the image has gradually become invisible. Only the last sound was still echoing.
"I believe we will meet again, Duel Kings…sooner or later."
He disappeared.
The realm of dimensions gradually collapsed, like a huge oil painting being torn into pieces. The sun shone through the broken steel dome, making it warm and relaxing.
The "Quantum Cube" in mid-air stopped rotating. The cube rolled to the ground, the golden eyes dimmed, and the cube no longer shined, as if it had been drained and entered the sage mode.
The blockade of the duel arena has been lifted. Everyone knew that this might mean it was over for the time being.
"The ruined… future."
Yugi looked in the direction where Z-ONE disappeared, feeling heavy in his heart.
Can we really change that fate now?
Kaiba still just sneered. Although the dueling skills of the mysterious future man had been respected and recognized by him, it did not prevent the president from disapproving of the rhetoric.
Future? The future is created by human hands. There is no such thing as destiny!
And Aigami… Agami was still looking at his Quantum Cube that fell to the ground absentmindedly.
"My deck…"
The mysterious man just finished playing cards and disappeared as if he had gone to another dimension. It seemed that he also took his deck with him…
He was torn apart.
At this moment, Yuei Vu, who had won the duel, stepped forward, leaned over, and picked up the Quantum Cube on the ground. He picked up the cube, and a bunch of cards originally stored in the cube suddenly fell out of it and fell to the ground with a strange "clatter" sound.
It was Aigami’s Cubic deck. Unexpectedly, Z-ONE did not forget to put the deck back into place before leaving.
It’s really rare to see a BOSS like this who borrowed and returned things these days.
When Aigami saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He did crack just now.
Hehe, now he has made it up again.
But before Aigami could get up to pick up his equipment, he saw a certain Duel King picking up this deck of cards very rudely and putting it in his pocket.
Aigami: "…"
