Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Two duels unfolded simultaneously at the Shangri-La base.

A deafening roar resounded as a massive, burning purple painting spread across the streets of Neo Domino City!
Judging from its terrifying shape, it appears to be a lizard!

The duel between Aki Izayoi and Misty Laura is progressing very quickly. Their duel is slightly later than that between Decade and Dewayne, but both of them have already played their trump cards!
The Black Rose Dragon exuded a subtle fragrance, coldly watching Misty Laura from among the drifting rose petals. But its true opponent wasn't on the field, but outside this tall building!
After absorbing countless souls from the vicinity, a lizard-like earthbound spirit, several tens of meters long, used its forelimbs to support the building and peered with horrified eyes into the shattered window...

Izayoi Aki's face was deathly pale, but she remained calm.

On the other hand, the duelists who also faced the Dark Marksmen were not so lucky...

With bloodshot eyes, Decade smirked as he stared at his opponent, Dewayne, who was panting heavily.

As the leader of the Paradise Organization, Dewayne was not weak, but he was ultimately unable to resist Decade, who had become a Dark Signer.

After just a few rounds, he was almost cornered!
There is a way to break this deadlock, but the hope is too slim...

"Huff...huff!" Dewayne gasped for breath, the shock of the Dark Duel still lingering. He looked at the unfamiliar man before him, his mind filled with doubt. "You...you're here for the Dragonscarver, aren't you...?"

Decade grinned menacingly, the werewolf mask gleaming eerily in the pale light: "You mean Izayoi Aki?"

"No, Dewayne..."

"My goal has always been you!"

Dewayne narrowed his eyes, even more puzzled: "Why...why..."

Decade chuckled and turned slightly, tearing off his sleeve to reveal a character tattoo on the inside of his left arm—DCD0972, the very number he was imprisoned in the secluded paradise as an experimental subject!
Dewayne's eyes widened. He knew that only the experimental subjects they used for experiments had this tattoo, but judging from the number, that batch of experimental subjects should have been disposed of by now!

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something: "You, you are that..."

Decade asked with a cold laugh, "Now, do you remember?"

"In order to escape from this filthy and disgusting place, I drank your experimental drugs!"

"After escaping to the satellite zone, I was extremely weak and lay in bed for three whole years, even losing all my previous memories!!"

"The Dark Mark resurrected me and restored my memories..."

"You'll have to pay for all the suffering you've endured here!!"

“Pa————————————————”

Decade roared, and the card in his hand, engulfed in purple flames, slammed down:
"Sacrifice the two monsters on the field!!"

"Beyond five thousand years of time!!"

"The gates of the underworld are about to open!!"

Let our souls become nourishment for the new world!

"Descend!!"

"Earthbound God Aslia Pisco!!!"

“Boom————————————————”

Another bolt of dark purple lightning descended from the sky, and a new giant painting burst into flames, overlapping with the previous lizard painting!

A piercing, eerie cry echoed through the night, and countless souls were sacrificed, turning into purple light. A golden light shone from the earth and soared into the sky!
A jet-black figure emerged from the purple storm, and the golden light was none other than the long beak of this hummingbird earthbound god!
Earthbound God Aslia Pisco

【Ten stars】

[Dark Attribute/Bird Beast Race] [Attack/Defense: 2500/2500]

"Tsk... Is this the power of the Darkmarker?!" Dewayne felt as if his soul was about to be ripped out. "I'm afraid... even if the experiment on Longya succeeds, it would be difficult for a clone of the Dragonmarker to withstand it..."

Decade's eyes flashed with coldness as he pointed at Dewayne. The earthbound hummingbird let out another sharp cry and attacked Dewayne!
“Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Another horrific explosion. Fortunately, Dewayne's body was stronger than that of an ordinary person. Covered in wounds, he crawled slowly to his feet amidst the rubble, and sneered:
"Hehehe..."

"So, you were the test subject..."

"There's an even more important secret about your background~"

"Do you want to know, Deccaed?"

The appearance of the Earthbound God made the dark mark on Decade's face even brighter. He stared coldly at the disheveled Dewayne and sneered, "This is nothing but a trick to prolong your life..."

"No!!" Dewayne interrupted with a laugh, "Decade, do you remember who took care of you during those three years?"

Do you really know why he personally mentored you?

"Why would a grocer who can barely make ends meet know how to heal your injuries?"

"If you want to know this, immediately recall the monster you summoned!!!"

Decade was stunned.

Yes, he was indeed adopted by a grocery store owner.

When they first met You Qing, he even took out the shop owner's keepsake card and asked Lali to buy some food...

Later, during Yu Qing's duel with Akaiyan Ling Shi, he unintentionally lent that card to Yu Qing...

The grocer's face surfaced in my memory...

Decade knew perfectly well that Dewayne had no reason to know of this person's existence. Since he had said so, it meant that there must be other secrets hidden behind his background!
Decade clenched his fists. The cards in his hand were enough to kill Dewayne instantly, but he didn't. Instead, he coldly questioned, "If you don't talk, I'll kill you!!"

"Hahahaha!" Dewayne laughed maniacally. "Then tell the truth, Deccade!!"

"You really are a test subject!!"

"However..."

“Bang————————————————”

Before he could finish speaking, a huge rock suddenly burst out from the wall beside him, smashing Dewayne's head to pieces like a brick smashing tofu.

Decade was stunned, watching the headless corpse slowly slump towards the stair railing and slide down the stairs in a pool of blood. His eyes suddenly turned cruel and vicious!

"Misty!!" Decade roared through gritted teeth, "I gave you a choice!! But did you have to do this?!"

With a loud shout, Dewayne's body fell from the building.

Aki Izayoi screamed in terror. To her now, Dewayne was her only family!

Missy Laura looked up in astonishment, gazing at the furious Decade upstairs, her mind blank.

Dewayne's death...

It has nothing to do with her! (End of Chapter)
