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

"boom----------------"

The Infernal Demon summoned by Kyosuke Kiryu was instantly blasted into pieces, but immediately afterward, a new monster was unleashed from Kyosuke Kiryu's hand.

The moment this monster card appeared, his hand was completely empty!

Bishop Eternal Flame

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 1000/2000]

"I have three monsters on my field... Junk Destroyer, Infernal Knight, and Infernal Bishop..." Kiryu Kyosuke waved his hand, triggering the effect of Infernal Cannon, and two monsters returned from the graveyard. "When you have zero cards in your hand, send Infernal Cannon from the field to the graveyard, and revive up to two Infernal monsters from the graveyard."

"Special Summon - Infernal Necromancer and Infernal Wildcat".

"Activate the effect of Infernal Wildcat, banish 1 Infernal monster from your Graveyard, and increase this card's Level by 1."

"Synthesize the level 4 Infernal Wildcat and the level 4 Infernal Bishop."

"Lv8!!"

"Infernal Fire Death Dragon!!!"

【Eternal Fire Death Dragon】

【Eight Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2400]

"Activate the effect of Infernal Death Dragon. If you have zero cards in your hand, target one monster on your opponent's field," Kyosuke Kiryu said coldly. "Destroy the targeted monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the ATK of the destroyed monster!!"

“Boom————————————————”

However, the powerful explosion failed to shatter the Machine King/God/Machine Record/Infinite. Its intense light perfectly neutralized the Eternal Fire Death Dragon's barrage!
"Useless!!" Apollia shouted, "Escape one Machine Emperor monster from the graveyard, and grant Machine Emperor Machine God Machine Record Infinity immunity to destruction effects!!"

"My graveyard is teeming with Machine Emperor monsters!!"

"The Machine King, Machine God, Machine Record, Infinite at this moment cannot be destroyed by a few attacks!!"

Kyosuke Kiryu said, "Is that so? Then let's not destroy it."

"What?!" Apollia's expression changed.

With a wave of his hand, Kyosuke Kiryu summoned yet another monster from the graveyard. The monsters appearing one after another were truly like endless, desperate demons rising from hell!
But at that moment, Guiliu transformed these evil spirits into ice dragons that shone with the light of hope!

"The effect of Infernal Necromancer: If you have zero cards in your hand, once per turn, Special Summon 1 Infernal monster from your Graveyard."

Kyosuke Kiryu's voice pierced through the heavy gloom and sunlight, a dragon's roar shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Rising from the graveyard—Eternal Flame Avenger!!"

"Use the Level 1 Tuner monster, Infernal Avenger, the Level 4 Infernal Necromancer, and the Level 4 Infernal Knight as materials for Synchro Summoning!!"

"The holy spear unleashed by the God of Destruction!!"

"The Demon City must be completely penetrated now!!"

"Synchronous Summon!!"

"Come out!!"

"Ice Barrier Dragon - Trident Dragon!!!"

“Kaalaalaala——————————————————”

The frost on the ground, formed into hexagonal snowflakes, suddenly shattered. A dragon's roar, like a glacier collapsing, resounded through the sky. A massive ice and snow storm, carrying an endless chill, surged from the magic circle, and the entire high-speed space was buried in the overwhelming cold current and blizzard!

Three ice dragon heads burst forth from the sealing formation, followed by wings wrapped in a biting icy wind! They slowly spun and soared high into the sky, freezing the air wherever they passed!

[Ice Barrier Dragon: Trident Dragon]

Nine Stars

[Water Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 2700/2000]

Apollia exclaimed in shock, "It's this card?!"

The effect of Ice Barrier Dragon - Trident Dragon can directly banish cards. This ability doesn't target, so it doesn't count as destruction. Even if the Machine King/Machine God/Machine Record - Infinite Defense ability is strong, it's meaningless!
“Swish, swish, swish————————————————”

Three ice spears were swung out, each piercing one of Apollia's three cards!

The one on the field is none other than Apollia's strongest monster—Machine King Machine God Machine Record Infinite!!!
The rapidly freezing mecha monster shattered in the gale, and above the chaotic New Domino City, a massive, dilapidated city slowly fell—that was none other than the Cradle of Arcs!

The fallen city is the former Neo-Domino City, which was destroyed in the previous timeline, and its perpetual motion machine is located opposite the current Neo-Domino City's perpetual motion machine!

The moment the two perpetual motion machines come into contact, a truly terrifying event will occur!!
This was something Apollia was willing to sacrifice himself for, but after he did it, he didn't look back, only muttering, "It's meaningless... This isn't true hope..."

"The first time I went back in time... I believed in Yusei."

"Although it wasn't his fault, the dimension ultimately fractured, and it's increasingly on the verge of destruction..."

"Perhaps there really is hope... but what's the point?"

"In the endless darkness, even if there are a few glimmers of light, despair still fills everything..."

Kyosuke Kiryu said coldly, "Then die with your despair! We will never let go of anything in this world!!"

Apollia's body almost entirely turned into stardust flying into the sky. At that moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps, what we do will bring true hope?"

"Kiriyu, my time is running out."

"So, please convey what I'm about to say to them..."

"In the last regression, we didn't find the real way to save the world, so that failure is not a pity..."

"But this time, we found it! We really found it!!"

"The purpose of triggering the Cradle of Curves is not to destroy this dimension!!"

“Look, Guiliu, the old perpetual motion machine in the cradle of arcs is not turning. Zone and Parilla are waiting.”

"Only when the two perpetual motion machines come into contact and mesh will they activate the old Moment, causing it to rotate in the same direction as the new Moment."

"The two moments will accelerate each other, and under the combined effect of their positive forces, they will eventually create an extremely powerful spacetime rift!!"

"The power of that white hole will permeate the entire Duel Universe. Under that power, all ripples, all the multiverses and timelines that arise will be destroyed!!" "The Duel Dimension will be reduced to a single spacetime and a single timeline. At this moment, the two perpetual motion machines will also disappear, and the Duel Dimension can continue..."

"In that case, our dueling dimension wouldn't be facing its impending demise due to energy depletion!!"

"This is our New Future Group's plan..."

"This is the light that I, Antinomi, Zone, and Parillar wanted to create!!"

"The infinite light of the white hole I desire!!!"

Kyosuke Kiryu's gaze remained indifferent.

He was already dead, so he didn't care even if the double positive acceleration of the two moments would cause massive destruction.

But he knew that Yusei and the others would definitely reject this plan, because it was almost identical to what the Future Group did when they first went back in time to destroy Neo Domino City.

However, Kiryu still decided to take the news back with him.

"Understood," Kyosuke Kiryu said. "Leave with your so-called despair."

“Boom————————————————————”

The moment the Machine Emperor Machine God Machine Record Infinite disappeared, the attack power of the Machine Emperor Divine Dragon Star Mark was also reduced to zero.

Kyosuke Kiryu's monsters launched an all-out attack, and in the terrifying explosion, Apollia's LP was wiped out, resulting in a complete defeat!
The cradle slowly descended, and in the dark sky lay the ruins of a vast, destroyed city. Apollia closed her eyes and vanished completely, turning into starlight.

Having won the duel, Kyosuke Kiryu sped through countless falling boulders and returned to Yusei Fudo's side, relaying Apollia's words verbatim.

Upon hearing the New Future Group's true plan, the members of the New 5Ds team were all deeply shocked.

Double positive acceleration...

Create a spacetime void with sufficiently pure power!!

This plan...is to sacrifice the lives of over 90 percent of the population in exchange for the existence and perpetuity of this universe and this dimension.

Is this how it should be?

Is it really possible to do that?
This is clearly a very cold and cruel method.

But are there other ways to change the ultimate destruction of the universe and dimensions?
“Ha! No need to think about that now,” Jack Atlas said coldly. “First of all, even if I believe Apollia, I absolutely will not believe something that person didn’t do—Parilla!”

"Its existence is utterly absurd and laughable!!"

"If this plan would erase its existence, would it really be willing to do so?!"

Antinomi once mentioned in a message that Parillar is a projection of consciousness from the gap in the multiverse.

For the multiverse to exist, it needs a force to separate them. The gap between the multiverses is that force that separates the different dimensions, and Pariral is the embodiment of that force.

Parilla came into existence because of the multiverse, and if the multiverse is eventually swallowed by an infinite white hole, then it will surely cease to exist.

Jack Atlas's skepticism was not without merit; no one had any reason to believe something that had never even been human.

The new 5Ds team looked at each other.

Ultimately, everyone decided to climb onto the curved cradle and prevent the perpetual motion machine from falling!

Exhausted, Kyosuke Kiyori leaned back on the steps and returned the Ice Barrier Dragon Trident to Yu Qing.

He didn't have enough power to fight against the New Future Group, so he had to stay down there.

In the dim twilight, massive city ruins slowly fell from the sky.

Yuki, Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, and others activated a device they had been secretly preparing for a long time. It was a device that Yusei Fudo and Hanster had created together, based on the high-speed duel road design of Ryua and Ryuko's father.

Once triggered, a pathway composed of countless mechanical extensions will extend from the bridgehead of the Daedalus Bridge, reaching tens of thousands of meters into the air!

This device requires a great deal of materials, but those materials were prepared twenty years ago.

The mountains of garbage in the satellite area have become readily available building blocks.

As for manpower, that's the least of our worries.

With the advancement of technology, Shin-Domino City was able to transform a satellite district full of ruins into a high-rise building in less than half a year, so building a bridge wouldn't be that difficult.

The sounds of countless metals clashing rang out as the mottled recycled waste was pieced together to form a sky bridge leading to hope.

Standing in the Security Bureau of the Satellite District, Ushio Tetsuya and Sagiri Fukage had solemn expressions. The construction of this bridge certainly had the help of these two members of the Security Bureau.

As they watched the bridge gradually come together, they knew that the final moment was approaching.

The Moment control center for the curved cradle.

Zone sat alone in the cold control room.

Of the original Future Group, only he remained.

Paradox, Antinomi, and Apollia have all departed.

This is the last chance. If the crisis cannot be resolved this time, the energy of the Duel Universe will not be enough to support the subsequent disintegration, and it will eventually collapse completely until it becomes a singularity.

Zone knew that, no matter what, he had to create that eternally luminous white hole!
Even if he is the only one left among his companions who once witnessed despair together.

Sitting in the control tower ten thousand meters above the ground, Zone's sharp gaze pierced through everything, pointing directly at a hospital ward in Shin-Domino City!
In that instant, Decade, who had been seriously injured for many days, suddenly awoke!
His mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, as if he were having a very long dream.

After getting up, he gasped for breath, gazing at the Daedalus Bridge stretching to the horizon. He knew that what You Qing had said before had really happened!

Despite his exhaustion and weakness, Decade broke out of the hospital, put on his deck, mounted his D-Wheel, and chased after Youqing.

His D-Wheel is even the same form that Hanster modified for him before, a version with an added air cannon specifically for dealing with Team Chaos.

In the previous timeline, the D wheel would be unusable because the Future Group would reverse the Moment, causing the forces of the two Moments to cancel each other out, and all perpetual motion machines would lose power.

But now, the New Future Group's plan has changed. They want to create an eternal white hole and trigger a double positive acceleration. So instead of reversing the flow as they previously intended for Moments to collide and destroy, they have paused the old Moments in the slowly descending city ruins!
The final battle is about to begin.

On the Bridge of Hope leading to the sky, the new 5Ds team rode their D-wheels through the dark clouds, bathed in the glow of the setting sun. Yet, above them still lay the endless, terrifying ruins of the city!

In order to find a way to save the Duel Dimension, they must travel to Neo-Domino City, which was destroyed in the past timeline!

Several D-wheeled vehicles soared high into the sky, the fiery red sunset serving as their capes.

Several kilometers away, a figure appeared, struggling but working hard.

Decade gazed at the distant cruiser.

In the far distance, Zone stared intently at Decade, his eyes flashing. (End of Chapter)
