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

"Boom!"

"Boom..."

The tremors of the earth finally stopped, and the great fear that had been lingering in Longya's heart finally dissipated. However, because he was too unfamiliar with the place, he quickly got lost in the forest.

Unable to find a way out, Long Ya could only rely on his sense of direction, but what he actually relied on was not so much a sense of direction as pure intuition. Perhaps it was a telepathic connection between twins, but he unexpectedly found Long Ke riding a white unicorn by a dried-up lake.

"Longya?!"

"Long Ke!!"

"How will you be here?!"

"This……"

Long Ya didn't know how to answer. He still thought it was just a nightmare. He told Long Ke about his encounter with You Qing. Long Ke's eyes widened in surprise. Unlike Long Ya, she knew very well that this was the world of elves, but she didn't understand how You Qing got here.
Just as Long Ke and You Qing deduced, she was indeed searching for the missing elf prince who had been affected by negative energy. Now that Long Ya had appeared in this world, she couldn't just leave him in the castle of the elf world; she had no choice but to take Long Ya with her on the search.

The two mounted the white unicorn together, and just then, dark purple flames erupted from the horizon, infecting the entire elven world with terrifying energy!
Dragon knew that the Ape Demon King had already begun his operation, and they had to hurry. Judging from the flames burning in the distance, a dark duel must be underway.

"Brother You Qing... I'm begging you!" Long Ke gritted his teeth and rode his unicorn deeper into the forest.

“Duel!!!!!!!!”

[Demac, LP: 4000]

[Game Engine, LP: 4000]

"Hehehe!" Demark chuckled sinisterly. Not far behind him, the Ape Demon King shook his staff, and all the ape soldiers scattered, beginning an evil and terrifying ritual. "My lord's idea is to have that guy Decade deal with you~"

"But now it seems I'm going to steal the credit!"

"You Qing, I heard you're on good terms with that guy named Decade, but unfortunately, you won't even have the chance to die at his hands!!"

"My first attack!! Draw a card!!!"

“Swish——————————————”

Demark shouted in a deep voice and drew a card:
"Attack signal summoned—Warrior Ape!!"

"Put two cards on the counter!!"

"End of round!!"

A light shone, and a monstrous ape engulfed in flames appeared, staring at You Qing with ferocious eyes.

Warrior Ape

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Beast Race]

[Attack/Defense: 1900/1200]

You Qing had some impression of this guy, Dimark. This Dark Signer had no relation to the other Dragon Signers. If there was any connection, it was that he and the dragons were both duelists who could communicate with elves and enter the elf world.

The fairy world that Long Ke is trying to protect is a place where many fairies live. It was once as beautiful and lovely as a dream world in a fairy tale. Therefore, everything in this world has some fairy tale elements, and even the enemies are anthropomorphic evil animals.

Demac's deck is centered around the Beast race, and his Earthbound God is also a Beast. Compared to other Darksigners, his deck has a closer connection with Earthbound God.

"Then it's my turn, time to draw a card!!"

The entire elven world had begun to change, and You Qing needed to act quickly. Standing beneath the starlight gate high in the sky, he drew cards from the deck and began his turn. Just then, an ancient and mysterious voice echoed from the depths of his heart: "You Qing, You Qing..."

You Qing was startled and responded in his inner world, "You are... an ancient fairy dragon?!"

“That’s right, brave Dragon Marker…” the ancient fairy dragon’s voice was weak and urgent, “You Qing, your opponent is much stronger than you think, never underestimate him…”

"When necessary, do not forget your dragon."

“I can sense that although the dragon is different from us, it also possesses a powerful and hopeful force.”

"The star gate in the sky has an energy very similar to your dragon; perhaps that gate is what led you here..."

You Qing nodded his thanks, but at the same time asked the question that had been bothering him: "But... why did it turn out like this? Shouldn't this place be like this...?"

The ancient fairy dragon explained, "Brave and mysterious dragon signer, I do not know your mysterious past, but the destiny guided by the red dragon has brought you here, so there must be a reason."

“I can tell that you know some unspeakable things, and I can also vaguely sense the doubts in your heart.”

"The future that fate guides you to know may not be the same as what you see now."

"All of this is the effect of 'ripples'."

"Ripple?!" You Qing was taken aback.

The ancient dragon spirit said, "That's right, just like a pebble thrown into a lake, the ripples will only grow larger and larger..."

"Perhaps initially, what changes one's destiny is just a trivial matter, but as time goes on, its impact will become greater and greater..."

"I don't know what the future you envisioned was like, nor do I know the reasons behind all of this."

"But one thing is certain: the emergence of some force has caused a change in the timeline, and perhaps that is the arrival of you or that dragon..."

Ripple effect...

Is it like the butterfly effect?

You Qing was moved and seemed to understand something.

He traveled here, and at first nothing changed, but gradually time influenced each other, until now it has become a fairly large ripple or tornado!
From this moment on, the power of the Ripple effect began to truly manifest. What we can see now is the completely altered world of spirits that Ryuko is connected to, and it seems that the subsequent plot will no longer be within his control!

You Qing felt a vague unease. As a transmigrator, knowing everything was his greatest power, but it seemed that this power was being gradually erased in the spreading ripples...

The ancient fairy dragon's words gave You Qing some guidance. From this moment on, he could no longer rely entirely on his memories of the original story, because what happened next might be completely different from the original story!

The pebble sank into the lake, and the future, like the calm surface of the lake, has been shattered!
From this moment on, he was no longer a time traveler, but another protagonist in this world!

"Is that so...? Then let's begin by summoning the Illusionary Wings!!" Yu Qing's eyes reflected the starlight as he waved his cards, launching his attack. "My turn!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - One-on-One!!"

"Discard one monster from your hand, and Special Summon one Level 1 monster from your Deck!!"

"Since Dark Repairman has been sent to the Graveyard, draw one card from your deck!!"

"Then banish one-to-one spell cards from the graveyard!!"

Special Summon from your hand!

"Magic Striker!!!" (End of Chapter)
