Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1481 The Imperial Key is a Spaceship
"one more bowl!"

Yuma handed over the empty bowl that he had devoured in an instant.

At this moment, You Xuan had already returned to the Jiushijiu family with You Ma. You Ma's grandmother, Jiushijiu Chun, took the bowl from his hand, smiled, and filled it with rice before handing it to You Ma.

"Home-cooked meals are definitely the best."

Yuma, who was eating rice, was so happy that his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Then, remembering something, she turned to You Xuan and said, "Oh, by the way, the fried shrimp at your academy is really delicious. It would be nice to have another serving of that fried shrimp."

"Honestly, I haven't even settled the score with you for running around in dangerous places again."

The older sister glared at Yuma with obvious displeasure. Yuma immediately shrank back guiltily, hiding his head behind the bowl and quickly gulping down his rice.

Yuma's older sister is a beautiful and capable red-haired woman with perfectly curved long legs that make her seem like she'd be perfect for driving a tricycle. She has a strong personality and exceptional action skills. Oh, and her fighting skills are also extraordinary.

"Well, you actually brought back a pretty handsome friend this time." Akari teased Yugen.

Upon hearing this, You Ma immediately perked up and put down his bowl excitedly, saying, "Sister, you don't know, You Xuan isn't just good-looking, he's incredibly skilled in duels!"
He's a champion-level duelist, the legendary kind."

But before she could finish speaking, Akari's beautiful face immediately fell, and she said in a gloomy tone, "Yuma, you went to duel behind my back again, didn't you?"

Yuma froze instantly: "Ah, this...this..."

You Xuan understood.

So that's how it is. Yuma in this timeline hasn't received his sister's permission to duel yet.

The same is true at the beginning of the anime. Yuma's older sister, Akari, was initially very opposed to and even forbade Yuma from playing cards. It was only later that she was moved by Yuma and relaxed the restrictions.

Not only is the cult leader an oddball, but his family members are equally eccentric.

Grandma Kojuu Haru said that her grandson inherited Kazuma's (Yuma's father) adventurous genes. Her thirteen-year-old grandson said he wanted to travel through dimensions to save the world, but she was not worried at all. Before leaving, she even gave her grandson rice balls. This composure is quite like that of a hermit.

Akari, Yuma's older sister, is the complete opposite. Completely unaware of the existence of the "life-or-death cards" concept, Akari firmly forbids her brother from playing cards, stating that dueling is an extremely dangerous activity.
Oh, of course. Judging from the visuals in the ZEXAL world where people are often blasted more than ten meters away by 3D images while playing cards, it might actually be a high-risk sport.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone in this dimension has superhuman physical abilities, getting a concussion, paraplegia, or even sudden death while playing cards would seem quite normal; it would be considered an extreme sport for seeking thrills. Akari's concerns are not without merit.

At this point, it seemed that Akari still hadn't reached an agreement with the cult leader on the card game, so the second half of the meal basically ended with the siblings bickering about the card game.

You Xuan had just arrived in this world and had nowhere else to go for the time being, so he decided to stay at You Ma's house for the night and make a makeshift bed in You Ma's room upstairs.

Now that Dr. Fica and the throne have been resolved, the main problem remaining is the Barian. You Xuan's main purpose in this trip is to investigate the Barian's situation, resolve potential problems, and also find out why the Barian is so obsessed with dimensional fusion.

As midnight approached, everyone had returned to their rooms to rest. Suddenly, the Imperial Key in Yu Ma's hand emitted a brilliant light, and two beams of blue light enveloped both Yu Xuan and Yu Ma, who were abruptly drawn into the Imperial Key.

Yu Ma seemed startled. Even after his feet landed on solid ground, he kept touching his body, as if trying to check if he was missing any limbs.

"Roaming horse".

Astral objects floated to the side.

Yuma looked up: "Astral body? What's going on? Where am I?"

He looked around. They seemed to be in some kind of cockpit, with a smooth, mirror-like floor made of an unknown metal, and a huge control panel visible. "This is inside the Imperial Key," the astral body explained.

"The Imperial Key!?" Yuma exclaimed in surprise.

The Imperial Key, the ornament left to him by his father, is Yuma's most important treasure, which he almost never takes off and wears around his neck.

But isn't that just a charm? What's the point of it being inside the Royal Key? It's such a tiny little thing.
"I think I understand now."

Astral Body Path.

"The essence of the Emperor's Key is a spaceship."

Yu Ma became increasingly confused as he listened: "Flying spaceships."

You Xuan was not surprised, as he already knew: "So that's how it is, a vehicle for traversing space."

“Yes.” The astral body nodded. “This spaceship is capable of breaking through space and can travel to other dimensions. During my last duel with Yuma, space suddenly shattered unexpectedly, and we fell into your world. I wonder if this is related to that.”

You Xuan nodded: "The barrier between your world and our world has already become thinner, so it's not impossible."

Yuma said, "Wait a minute! The Imperial Key was left to me by my father. If this thing is a spaceship, then what does my father hope for me?"

"Using the Imperial Key to travel to other dimensions, I guess," the astral entity said.

You Xuan also said, "It seems that You Ma's father is still missing?"

“Yes, yes.” Yuma nodded. “He was an adventurer who disappeared when I was very young.”

You Xuan said, "So, is it possible that he's currently in some other dimension? I mean, since he already knows how to travel to other dimensions."

Yuma's expression changed slightly; he was shocked, yet he seemed to believe it somewhat.

Is my father in another dimension?
So, does that mean he entrusted the Royal Key to me in the hope that I could go find him someday?
Although he had accepted the fact that his father had been away for a long time, Yuma was still just a teenager and felt lonely to some extent. Now, thinking about this possibility, his heart pounded and his veins felt like they were on fire.

For a moment, I felt that it would be such a joyful thing to find my father.

“But I called you here for more than just that,” the Astral Entity said. “Just now, I saw these coordinates sent from within the Imperial Key.”

With a wave of his hand, he released a projection screen from inside the Royal Key spaceship. The projection displayed an image resembling a world map, marked with seven red dots.

You Ma asked curiously, "What is this?"

The astral body said, "Take a look at this first."

As he spoke, he projected another image. This time, however, the projected light did not form a map, but instead projected a human figure.

Upon seeing the image of that person, Yuma felt as if his breath had stopped.

"Dad, Dad?"
