Welcome to the Duelist Arena!

Eliphas replied calmly: "I should have said it before. The realm that the astral world aspires to is continuous advancement! Ether Amon, as a level thirteen XYZ monster, can be defeated by you, or can be defeated by me. Send it to the graveyard yourself, but you are never allowed to use it as a material to summon XYZ monsters below level 13!"

Yuma took a deep breath and showed a serious expression: "No matter what, will you stick to your beliefs? Then, I will definitely stick to my beliefs and take Astral back from your hands!"

"It's useless. Arceus's effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn. There is no limit to once per turn. It can even be activated repeatedly in a chain!"

"Nani?! In other words, I will have to bear the thunder and fire of God's Destruction five times in the future?!"

"That's right! Arceus, the Sky Ting, can still activate God's Thunder Fire five times, but you don't have any cards on the field anymore, and you don't have any cards in your hand! In this case, you can only draw one What can you do if you’re stuck? Accept the reality, you can’t beat me!”

"I...Astral, can't I win? Will you also lose all the memories with you...Don't be kidding! Astral, you are arrogant, willful, and always look aloof... .But, but! You determine my life! Astral, you are my everything! So, I... absolutely can't lose you! ..definitely can’t lose!”

Faced with this cruel fact, Yuma fell to his knees for a time and almost gave up. However, recalling every moment of getting along with Astral, Yuma stood up again with a firm face and spoke something close to a confession. , roared and raised his right hand, letting his whole body be enveloped in warm golden flames, and his right hand burst out with dazzling golden light.

"That's..."

Seeing this, Eliphas couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is... yes, it's Astral! Did you lend me your power? Then go ahead! In a duel between the strongest duelists, everything is inevitable! Even the card to be drawn can be determined by the duelist. Create! Flash card!”

Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, Yuma quickly reacted and used this miraculous power to draw flash cards.

Seeing this dazzling light, Eliphas finally understood that Yuma was the life evolved from a part of Astral's soul that was split when he fought thousands of lords countless years ago.

After understanding this, Eliphas was not so repelled by Astral and Yuma becoming companions, and was no longer even obsessed with erasing Yuma's memories related to Astral. However, he still couldn't accept the power of chaos generated by the encounter. At least, Yuma's current performance was not enough to make him change his mind.

Chaos is an existence that must be eliminated in the astral world, and it must not remain in Astral, which also represents the astral world!

Chapter 284: How the Tianting was solved, all against Hope

"Very good! I activate a magic card, and I draw a card! I can only activate it by excluding the three Me monsters in my graveyard, and I draw two cards from my deck!"

"But your graveyard... So, is that the nine XYZ materials sent to the graveyard due to the effect of Aether Amon?"

"That's right! I will draw two cards except for me, me, my boy, me, my secretary, and me, me, the magician in the graveyard! Flash card draw!!! Here it is! Eliphas! See me and Astral. The miracle created by the bond! I activate the magic card, Inspiration of Hope (original card)! During the turn when this card is activated, the monster named Hope is not affected by the opponent's card effect! It doesn’t matter whether it’s thunder or fire, as long as it has the effect of encouraging hope, your Sky Thunder Arceus can’t have any impact on my Hope!”

"You actually use this method?!"

Eliphas's expression changed. This effect was obviously newly printed, right? But after all, it is a flash card draw, and printing a card seems to be normal.

"Then, I activate the magic card, Glorious Number System (original version)! It can only be activated when there are no monsters on my field. I special summon a No. monster from my graveyard, and I draw another one from the deck! I special summon Hope from the Graveyard in attack position, and draw cards with a flash!"

"However, just relying on Hope Emperor Hope can't defeat my Sky Ting Arceus. Even if you transform Hope Emperor Hope Chaos XYZ into Hope Emperor Hope Prey, you still can't defeat it!"

"The listed Vadokana!"

"Nani?!"

"With only one material, Emperor Hope Hope really can't increase the attack power to the level that can defeat the Sky Thunder Arceus, but with two materials, it will be no problem!"

"Don't tell me?!"

"That's right! The chain effects of your Ether Amon and Sky Thunder Arceus helped me send a lot of cards to the graveyard! I activated the effect of the stacked light devourer in the graveyard. During my main phase , you can only activate it by banishing this card from the graveyard, and overlap an XYZ material on the opponent's field under my XYZ monster as an XYZ material!"

"Are you going to use this method to seize the XYZ materials of Sky Thunder Arceus? But! My Sky Thunder Arceus was specially summoned to the field in defense position. Even if you increase Hope Emperor Hopley's attack power to 3500, it can't cause any damage to me! Even if you use equipment such as heat concentric weapons to gain the penetration effect of Emperor Hope and further increase the attack power, I can still activate the God-destroying thunder fire of Arceus! , send it to the graveyard! The effect of Inspiration of Hope can only protect the Hope monster, but it cannot be protected together with the heat-concentric weapons!"

"Don't speak too soon! Eliphas!"

"What?!"

"When you activated God's Thunder Fire before, the two XYZ materials you removed should have been your own cards! In other words, the eleven XYZ materials currently owned by Arceus, the Sky Ting, are all mine. card! Then, there are still nine cards left in my deck! Among the total of twenty cards, there is a card that can activate the effect as long as it is sent to the graveyard. Do you think it is more than half the chance? , will that card be in the XYZ material of Arceus or in my deck?”

"A card that can activate its effect just by sending it to the graveyard?! Is this the real purpose of using the effect of Stacked Light Devourer?!"

"That's right! Come on, my cards, show your true form!"

Yuma shouted loudly, causing the eleven light balls surrounding Arceus to turn into cards. Then, looking at one of the cards, Yuma also smiled.

"It seems that the bond between Astral and I and the deck is better! Eliphas, according to the effect of the Stacked Light Devourer, I will seize the wandering Tengu as the material of Arceus XYZ, and place it in Hope The lower part of Huang Hoop is used as XYZ material! Then, I will transform Chaos into XYZ! The power of hope turns chaos into the messenger of light! Prey!”

As Yuma shouted again, Hope Emperor Hope also transformed back into the platinum and gold two-color construct and sank into the black void formed by the Shining Nebula, triggering a light pollution explosion that was witnessed by all residents of the Astral Realm, causing the black and gold A two-color construct appeared here, transformed and reorganized into a strong warrior, Hope Emperor Hope!

"..."

At this time, Eliphas also fell into silence. Hope Emperor Hope was also a monster with Hope in his name. Therefore, even if the Sky Thunder Arceus could activate the Thunder of God's Destruction five times, there was nothing he could do about it. Hope Huang Hopeley! Now I can only watch as Yuma activates the effect.

"Hope King Hope (original version) is a monster that can only be summoned if my health value is below 1000. Once my health value exceeds 1000, Hope King Hope King will be directly destroyed! But my current health value is There are only 100 points left, so Hope King Hopley can definitely appear at this time! Then, Hope King Hopley's effect can only be activated by removing one of the XYZ materials from this card until the end of the turn. The attack power of Hope King Hopley is increased by 500, and the attack power of one of the opponent's monsters is reduced by 1000! I will remove all the XYZ materials of Hope King Hopley, so that the attack power of Hope King Hopley will be increased to 3500. Tinghao Arceus's attack power is reduced to 1000! Stack charge!"

In an instant, the two light balls surrounding Hope Emperor Hopley merged into the sword raised high above Hope Emperor Hopley, causing the momentum of Hope Emperor Hopley to increase significantly.

"It's not over yet! I am activating the effect of the Wandering Tengu (original version) that was just sent to the graveyard. As long as this card is sent to the graveyard, I can choose a card on the field to return to the owner's hand! There is no doubt that , I choose the Arceus on your field to return to your extra deck!"

As a result, the shadow of the wandering Tengu immediately appeared on the field, rolled up a huge tornado, blew the Sky Thunder Arceus into the sky, and disappeared.

Eliphas was helpless in this regard, because the effect of Arceus on the Sky was to clear the field. Therefore, in the last round, his field was almost cleared, leaving only Arceus on the Sky. It was a monster, and even though there were other trap cards in his hand, he didn't cover it, so now he could only let Yuma launch a direct attack on him.

"Is this your possibility, Kujiu Yuma?"

"No! This is a miracle that Astral and I created together! Hope King Hope, this is proof of our mutual understanding, and also the bond between Astral and me! Although you said that upgrading is necessary to surpass the limits of the world, it is not like that! If upgrading is necessary, it is for the living people! Astral is completely different from people like you, that guy... No, not just him! Kaito and Shark, all the partners I met in the duel, each of them has their own troubles, fighting desperately with themselves! Isn't everyone struggling with conscience and evil thoughts in their hearts? However, as long as you have the courage to face this reality, you will definitely be able to overcome everything! You can understand each other no matter who you are with! If you turn a blind eye to everyone's pain and are completely unaware of it, you can't really upgrade at all! Go, Hope King Hope! Launch a direct attack on Eliphas! Hope Sword Chaos Slash!!!"

Chapter 285 Filial son Reiji sacrifices his own family for the greater good

The duel ended with Yuma's heartfelt words. Both Eliphas and the Astral World recognized Yuma's philosophy, and the residents of the Astral World also contributed their strength to heal Astral and successfully awaken Astral.

However, because the final opponent changed from Aether Amon to Celestial Thunder Arceus, Yuma also lost the opportunity to print the two cards, Demotion Magic - Source Number Fall and No.3 Source Hope.

However, Yuma did not lose out, because before Yuma and Astral left the Astral World and returned to the human world, Eliphas also entrusted Celestial Thunder Arceus to Yuma, which means that it will be Yuma's enemies' turn to taste the power of Celestial Thunder Arceus next. Even if Yuma cannot summon Celestial Thunder Arceus with more than a dozen materials like Eliphas, it will not change the power of Celestial Thunder Arceus.

If a certain thousand masters did not use their own power to cheat, this world line should be able to see the source network being blasted into a scorched earth by the thunder and fire of the god of destruction of Zeus on the Tianting.

But that is all later, let's put it aside for now, and go to the next perspective.

Interlude of the ARC-V world.

After returning from the arena, all the members related to the arena tacitly found Ling'er and followed Ling'er to visit Ling'er in his private prison.

"Father, I am also very sorry for rashly transferring you to this place, but in view of what you have done, I can only regretfully lock you up here."

Ling'er took the lead and came to the outside of the private prison. He said very sincerely, but there was no regret on his face.

"Ling'er?! I suddenly appeared in this place. Is it your fault?!"

Akama Ling Wang was stunned. He was still confused before why he was suddenly teleported to such a place. He didn't expect that it was his good son who did it. Is he going to be filial to him?

Before Ling'er could say anything more, Yugo suddenly appeared from behind Ling'er and looked at Akama Rei with a bad face.

"Baldy, you were the one who kidnapped Rin before!"

"Baldy..."

Zero's mouth twitched. Baldy was okay, although his father did have no hair.

"You?! Are you the reincarnation of a demon in the same dimension?! Ling'er, why are you hanging out with this guy?"

Akama Rei was more and more shocked.

Yugo raised his eyebrows, and his expression became more and more unfriendly: "Huh? You kidnapped Rin before, and now you say I'm the reincarnation of a demon. It seems that you are provoking me!"

Zero pushed his glasses: "Demon reincarnation? If you mean them, then I have to tell you something very regrettable, father, there are three reincarnations of demons here."

"What?!"

Amid the exclamation of Akama Rei, Yuya and Yuto also walked in from the passage behind Ling'er, looking at Akama Rei with cold eyes.

Of course, it's not just Yuto and Yuya, the four heroines including Yuzu and Kurosaki Hayabusa are also there.

And as soon as he came in, Kurosaki Hayabusa's eyes were directly ignited with anger. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and asked with gritted teeth: "Akama, although I'm very embarrassed, I still want to ask, can I beat this guy up?"

Zero touched his chin and nodded: "Well, please, but please pay attention to the degree, don't hurt him too badly, and don't beat him to death."

"Huh?!"

Akama Zero King was dumbfounded. He actually let others beat your father? You are really my good son!

Kurosaki Hayabusa was also stunned. Although he was the one who asked the question, he really didn't expect Zero to agree. After all, Akama Zero King was Zero's father. He just wanted to suppress his inner anger. After all, after getting along for such a long time, Zero was also a friend recognized by him. As a result, Zero actually agreed?

Although he was a little confused about Rei's thoughts, since Rei himself had agreed, Kurosaki Hayabusa would certainly not be polite. After looking at each other, Yuto and Yugo, they nodded to each other, took the key that Rei took out, and the three of them entered the private prison together. Then, the screams of Akama Reiwang were immediately heard by everyone.

Seeing this situation, Serena finally couldn't help it. Although Yuzu and the other three heroines did not like violence, they did not have any sympathy for people like King Akama Rei, but Serena Differently, she still has a somewhat close relationship with King Chima Ling.

"Wait a minute, Ling'er, the professor is your father no matter what, right? Are you really treating him like this?"

Reiji calmly replied: "It is precisely because he is my father that I asked Kurosaki and the others to be careful. If it had been someone else, I would have been beaten to death without even bothering. After all, if you do bad things to others, So it’s natural for the victim to take revenge, right?”

Serena was speechless. When she was in the arena, she also fully understood what a bastard King Akama Rei's actions were. For Yugo and Yuto, their childhood sweethearts who were kidnapped, it was very difficult for their homes to be destroyed. For Yuto and Kurosaki Hayabusa, whose relatives and friends have been killed and sealed, there is absolutely no problem in giving King Akama Rei a beating. That is to say, Kaito still stayed in the XYZ dimension to fight against the army of the fusion dimension and did not come with them. To the basic dimension, otherwise, it would not be surprising for Kaito to kill King Akama Rei out of hatred for his loved ones being killed.

"Okay, Serena, don't worry, everyone is here to watch, so you don't have to worry about them going too far."

Yuzu quickly pulled Serena back.

Liuli and Rin also nodded. They were still very confident in their brother and childhood sweetheart.

“Wait a minute, Ling Yi’s four clones—ah!!!”

"You guy! You actually dare to set your sights on Rin and the others!"

"It seems we started too lightly! Yudou!"

"Ah! I know, it seems we have to show our true skills! Although we promised Chima to be careful, we who have been on the battlefield for a long time know very well which places are painful but will not cause serious consequences. Injured!"

"Oh haha? There is such a place? Kurosaki, Yuto, please teach me! You have to let this guy enjoy it!"

"No problem, just leave it to us!"

"There happens to be a physical textbook here, let's teach you a good lesson today!"

"Oh, then I'll leave it to you!"

“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

Listening to King Akama Rei's increasingly ferocious howls and the evil laughter of Yugo and the others, Yuya couldn't help but shed cold sweat outside the private prison. He looked at Reiji with a strange look on his face. This guy actually did this to annihilate his relatives for the sake of justice. To this extent, he is really a ruthless person.

Chapter 286: Possibility of pressure, continue to die in filial piety

At this time, Reiji also noticed Yuya's gaze and looked at Yuya doubtfully.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think it's too much for me to watch my father being beaten like this?"

"How is that possible!"

Yuya shook his head repeatedly. You must know that King Akama Rei’s kidnapping targets included Yuzu. He was already very kind-hearted even if he didn’t take action with Yuto Yugo and the others. How could he still help King Akama Rei? Let's be clear, it's impossible for Yu Dou and the others to kill him anyway, so just fight.

"However, for me to watch helplessly like this seems to be a bit too much."

After receiving a negative answer, Reiji still frowned, making Yuya stunned. Could it be that this guy's conscience found out?

Then, Yuya saw Reiji turn around and choose to face the private prison.

"Yeah, so it's better not to watch. While Kurosaki and the others are busy, let's find something to do here."

In an instant, the whole house fell into silence. Even Yu Dou and the other three couldn't help but stop what they were doing. They all looked at Rei'er with strange expressions. Where did this guy learn this cold joke?

King Chima Ling, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up after being beaten, stared at Ling'er, as if his eyes were about to burst into flames. He was such an unfilial son. He really shouldn't have allowed this unfilial son to be born in the first place. ah!

"Yuya, when I explained the situation to Serena before, what did those people from the GX world and the parallel GX world come to talk to you about?"

Completely ignoring the eyes of others, Ling'er got down to business seriously.

Although it felt a bit strange to discuss things in such a place, Yuya still answered Reiji's questions honestly.

"They are here to ask us about the fusion dimension. After all, they are all duelists from the Duel Academy, and you also know the academy of fusion dimensions."

Hearing the word 'academy', Kurosaki Hayabusa and Yuto's eyes ignited with anger at the same time. Recalling the tragic situation in the XYZ dimension, they both punched decisively again and began to continue beating a certain bald man, which made Yugo also He hurriedly started studying, and the ups and downs of screams echoed in the room again.

"Duel Academy and Academy? So, how did they react?"

Yuya said helplessly: "Of course they are all very angry. They all think that naming the invader's base the academy is completely insulting. If it weren't for the fact that the cross-world teleportation function has not been turned on, and they themselves have not yet If the trouble is unresolved, they should not hesitate to help Yu Dou and the others fight against the dimensional fusion forces."

Ling'er touched his chin: "I see. In that case, maybe we can slow down the implementation of the plan a little bit, at least the part involving the fusion dimension itself. For the time being, we only need the part that completely integrates the XYZ dimension. That's enough."

"Why do you say that?"

Ruri asked doubtfully. When Yuto and Kurosaki Hayabusa were busy, she would naturally be the only one to represent the XYZ dimension. However, she was not too anxious because Ling'er's last sentence had made it very clear that the part of the plan that needed to be temporarily slowed down did not include saving the XYZ dimension itself, but only slowing down the counterattack against the fusion dimension.

"It's very simple. Since the function of cross-world transmission has not been enabled yet, it means that this function will be enabled sooner or later. As long as this function is enabled, let's not talk about other worlds for now. At least we should be able to get assistance from the three worlds of GX world, parallel GX world and ZEXAL world. After all, the duelists in GX world and parallel GX world are very dissatisfied with the fusion dimension, and the duelists in ZEXAL world have a good relationship with you in XYZ dimension."

"No! We must not involve them in the war!"

Liuli shook her head repeatedly and decisively rejected Ling'er's proposal. After all, while the people in ZEXAL world regarded them as friends, they also regarded the people in ZEXAL world as friends. How could she drag completely unrelated friends into the vortex of war?

"Calm down, I didn't mean to let them join the war directly, have you forgotten? My goal is to prevent the war from happening. I just want to use their existence to exert pressure. Judging from the information given by Yugo and Rin, you should also know that the Synchro Dimension is unlikely to be on the same side as us, right? And your XYZ dimension was crippled by the Fusion Dimension with a sneak attack. If we only rely on the Basic Dimension, it is difficult to make the Fusion Dimension feel afraid. Therefore, we need to borrow the power of the other three worlds. Well, to be precise, ask them to help exert pressure."

"Pressure? You want..."

"Yes, anyone with a normal mind should understand that a quarter of the world cannot defeat three and a quarter worlds, right? Of course, after all, it is the Fusion Dimension that actively invades other dimensions. Perhaps most people may have problems with their brains, but it shouldn't hurt to give it a try, right?"

"Hey! What do you mean!"

After listening to Ling'er's words, everyone else was thoughtful, only Serena looked annoyed. After all, she is also a person from the Fusion Dimension.
