Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 401 Defeat

Can humans truly manage excess without harm?
This is not actually a question in the context of the wandering underworld.

Putting aside A5, Z4 has already made the origin very clear. The whole thing is almost inseparable from the concept of 'ascension'. Whether you call it making up for it later or just looking at the pictures, the source of this thing can even be found in DM - the Blue God.

Although he did not use this time-defining summoning method, he did introduce the concept of 'ranking up', as a character appearing in the anniversary theatrical version.

The concept of discarding negativity, unifying pure consciousness, and opening the door to a new world is essentially the same as the Astral Realm in Z4.

But is this really a good thing?

"The essence of superposition and dimensional ascension is still the unification of will, and the pursuit of the sublimation of the soul will inevitably involve those things."

Of course, this is a very common topic:
"Nature—you, coming from the future, should understand this better. Just as the perpetual rotor unconsciously absorbs human emotions, once 'dimensional ascension' is put on the table, humans are also willing to give up everything for it, and those things that are abandoned and discarded will eventually pose a huge threat."

"Don't talk like that when you're not in the situation."

Ultimately, no matter what kind of disaster it is, we must rely on human wisdom and perseverance to overcome it.

"But the world has already been destroyed!"

At that moment, it seemed as if the entire aircraft roared, and Paradox simply roared like a real human being:

"What have you done while saying all that? You single-handedly saved the world from peril, and then you disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only those longed-for yet unattainable silhouettes!"

With a trembling voice, Paradox involuntarily covered his mouth.

He felt a strange nausea, but now, as a robot, he couldn't vomit filth or spit out any blood.

At this moment, it seemed that only the tearing sensation lingering deep within his consciousness could prove that his will was on the verge of its limit:

"I don't have time."

After gently lowering his hand, his expression, which had regained its calm, revealed only that hoarse voice:

“We… no, Z-one is out of time, so we have to put an end to this no matter what.”

He then clenched his fist:

"The effect of 'Heavenly Love' activates—Remove 1 Xyz Material, and this card gains 2000 ATK and DEF."

"A Love That Breaks the Mold"

"atk/4000→6000"

With a roar, the turret train turned its cannons around, aiming all the gun ports directly at the two still-standing 'dragons'.

"Then battle - During a Battle Phase, this card can attack a monster on the field one more time than the number of materials it still holds."

"Generally, after stacking R10 to create an R11 effect, there is only one material."

"So it can attack twice, while my monster far surpasses your undead creatures in attack power... no, I should say that even if it can only attack once, it will still be my victory."

"However, at this moment I will activate the effect of 'Undying Dragon King'—During your opponent's turn, Special Summon the Zombie-Type monster 'Minotaur' from your Graveyard again in Defense Position."

「Bull-headed Demon (lv4)」

"def/800"

"Now summon this trash..."

"Of course, the 'Bullhead Demon' isn't important, but the effect of the other guy is."

"?!"

'Rumble'

A deafening roar echoed in their ears as the golden corpses and the gleaming, colossal dragon skeletons arrived before the turret train.

"When a monster is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, 'Giant Beast Dragon' can target one other monster and negate its effect."

"Ineffective—"

Paradox glanced at the tanks and cannons on his own field, only to find that the once-boiling turret train had fallen into a state of lethargy:
"A Love That Breaks the Mold"

"atk/6000→4000"

Watching this scene, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the two immortal dragons that still stood on the field.

"atk/2800" The attack power of both "Undying Dragon Emperor" and "Giant Skeleton Dragon" is the same, and it is lower than that of the turret train.

but……

Which one do you choose to attack?

"I'm attacking... the 'Undying Dragon Emperor'."

Of course, it might be due to the unique debuffs of the "Giant Bone Dragon," or it could simply be out of venting anger.

In short, the "Undying Dragon Emperor" was shattered.

At the same time, the smoke and dust from the explosion spread outwards, corroding the duelists' bodies.

[Youming LP: 2000 → 800]

"At the instant 'Immortal Dragon Emperor' is destroyed, the effect of 'Immortal Dragon' in the Graveyard will activate, Special Summoning itself."

"Immortal Dragon (lv6)"

"def/2400"

As he stared at the white Tuner monster that had appeared on the field, Paradox instinctively wanted to speak, but the words wouldn't come out.

"The round... is over."

He could do nothing more, and he knew that this would probably be the last.

"My turn, draw a card."

Of course, there's no need to look at what cards you drew anymore; right now...

"I activate the effect of 'Ox-Headed Demon' to send 'Spirit Knight' from my deck to the graveyard, then activate the effect of 'Immortal Dragon' to send the level 2 'Dead Eye Spirit' to the graveyard, changing its level to the difference."

"Immortal Dragon (lv6→lv4)"

"Then, I will transform into a level 4 'Immortal Dragon' and a level 4 'Minotaur' to Synchro Summon 'Dark End Dragon' from my Extra Deck."

Ghosts and monsters intertwine, and that dark energy constructs a new existence.

That is……

"dark--"

Dark End Dragon (lv8)

"atk/2600"

In reality, this should be an extremely evil entity.

Whether it's the demonic face branded on its chest or the grinning dragon head, it all seems to be proclaiming that it's no good.

It even shattered his only bulwark:
"The effect of 'Dark End Dragon' reduces its ATK by 500, then sends one monster your opponent controls to the Graveyard."

"Dark End Dragon"

"atk/2100"

The pitch-black dragon breath easily swept in, completely engulfing the turreted train.

At last……

"In the end, there is only one possibility."

Yes, as a duelist, he certainly knew what that meant.

Facing that face that appeared grievously wounded yet could only be described as serene, the future master of "sin" finally closed his eyes:

"Battle - Monster, launch a direct attack on Paradox."

'boom'

Paradox LP: 4000→1200→0

Amidst the deafening roar, the world belonging to "sin" began to crumble, and within the shattered illusions, he seemed to see the figures of those people:
"My...our research has failed."
