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

“Boom——————————————”

The Crystal Illusion Wing Synchro Dragon unfurled its magnificent wings, and boundless, clear light exploded forth like a thunderstorm!

Antinomi's D-Wheel disintegrated with a deafening roar, countless cards swirling amidst fragments and blinding light!
The collapsing black hole, like a giant maw, rapidly swallowed him, and scattered cards burst forth from the light not far ahead as You Qing emerged.

“Chi——————————”

Amidst the fluttering cards, Youqing urgently brought D-Wheel to a stop.

He didn't know where he would be after leaving that universe.

Fortunately, when he returned to the real world, he was still on the highway of Daedalus Bridge, with dark ruts left from under the tires, and some of Antinomi's cards were scattered around him, flying in the wind.

From the moment the summoning of the Tech Genus Halberd Gunner was aborted, Antinomi's defeat was inevitable.

When it was Yuqing's turn, he played a combo of several cards, which boosted the attack power of Crystal Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon to its maximum and delivered a fatal blow.

Sitting in the D-wheel, You Qing was panting heavily.

The duel just now had taken a huge toll on my mental energy; the terrifying black hole and the universe were still vivid in my mind.

Antinomi's last words bothered him.

From the moment the duel began, did the future change in the direction the New Future Team hoped for?
So, regardless of whether Antinomi wins or loses this duel, his plan has succeeded?!

In the night breeze, You Qing rested with his head tilted back, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Before long, Yan Chenghai, Shirley Leblanc, and others arrived with the Public Security Bureau. They had been searching for the Youqing D-Wheel ever since they discovered its signal had disappeared.

The signal from the D-wheel was finally reconnected, and they were able to find the engine on the highway.

Soon, Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, and the others arrived. Seeing that Yu Qing was safe and sound, they all breathed a sigh of relief. As for what exactly happened, they would talk about it when they got back.

The group prepared to leave the high-speed battle highway.

Just then, the curious Longya found a card on the ground: "Huh? What is this card? I've never seen it before!"

Long Ke leaned closer and read out each word carefully: "Explosive Mode... Explosive Body? What's that?"

You Qing was taken aback by Long Ya and Long Ke's discovery.

Antinomi's Burst Mode has scattered throughout this world?!

Then...

There is hope that this trap card can be remade!

In this timeline, Yusei Fudo is stronger than before, but Jack Atlas is ultimately much weaker.

Before long, everyone will face the same killer – the Machine Emperor.

With Burst Mode, one can easily resist the Three Emperors of Taiyi!

However, Antinomi's words were like a thorn stuck in You Qing's throat.

in case……

This burst mode is part of his plan, so what should we do?
In the unknown space, two mysterious figures appear and disappear amidst the ethereal light and shadow.

One of them is Zone, the leader of the Future Group. The identity of the other is still unknown, and colorful aurora waves ripple around his body.

“The failure of the paradox was expected…” Zone’s tone was somewhat somber. “But, even Antinomi failed?”

The other person's voice was dreamlike and ethereal, filled with a complex and mysterious quality:
"Antinomi has devised a perfect plan."

"If we win, the biggest threat, You Qing, will disappear."

"But if we fail, we will still have an advantage."

“In my opinion, Plan B is more prudent,” Zone pondered. “That’s right, after all, we’ve already laid the needle in advance.”

"But why send him even though you know the paradox will fail?"

"Moreover, something unexpected happened: the Burst Mode ended up in the hands of You Qing and his group."

"That... will probably affect the future course of things."

The other person's tone was very calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever:

"The significance of the paradox will soon be revealed."

"As for Burst Mode?"

"It's nothing important, just make sure Apollia is prepared to deal with it."

"Antinomy's sacrifice was very worthwhile."

"The gears of fate have accelerated once again..."

A few days later.

Having had a good rest, You Qing woke up in bed and left the bedroom. Not long after, the doorbell rang.

He opened the door and saw that it was Fudo Yusei who had come in.

After sitting down in the living room, Fudo Yusei took out a briefcase and handed the Burst System cards inside to Yuqing:
"This card was successfully replicated thanks to connections with Zaga."

"The Public Security Bureau is probably unaware of the existence of the Burst Mode."

"With these cards, dealing with top-tier machines will be much easier."

After returning that day, Yu Qing and Fudo Yusei had a discussion.

Ultimately, the group agreed that the Burst Mode was more beneficial than harmful, so they relied on the power of the underground organization to find a way to replicate the cards.

You Qing thanked him and put the card away, but in fact, he didn't really need Burst Mode: "By the way, where are the others?"

Fudo Yusei said, "Jack and the others are preparing for the WRGP tournament. I was planning to go on a long trip today, so I came alone."

You Qing nodded.

It seems that Yusei Fudo received a message from Kyosuke Kiryu and intends to rescue his former teammate.

After a brief exchange with Yu Qing, Fudo Yusei took his leave.

Before Fudo Yusei left, Yu Qing considered whether to tell them what he knew, but the thought was stopped by the roar of the red dragon echoing in his mind.

Recalling his duel with Antinomi, You Qing immediately came to his senses.

Because he knew what happened in the third timeline, it was extremely difficult for him to awaken the Mind of Stillness and Mirror in this timeline.

He had tried many times since the Dark Signer incident, but if he hadn't been driven to the brink by Antinomi, he probably still wouldn't have been able to comprehend Accelerated Synchronization.

Compared to other Dragon Seal users, Yu Qing can only tell Fudou Yusei about things in the past timeline, but that would hinder his awakening.

Moreover, since the Red Dragon has a way to see those fragments of spacetime, it must also be able to let other Dragon Markers see them. The fact that it hasn't done so must have a special purpose.

Fudo Yusei rode his D-Wheel towards the outskirts of the city.

On a large open space not far away, Hanster was helping Yan Chenghai adjust his D-wheel.

Yu Qing stood at the door, gazing at the Daedalus Bridge under the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, where Fudo Yusei's figure was gradually disappearing into the distance.

When he comes back...

The time was roughly the start of the WRGP tournament. (End of Chapter)
