Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

Guan Baifa realized that he had returned to the shore.

The solid rocks beneath my feet are like a period at the end of a story.

A golden light flickers in the starry sky; it is the lingering afterimage of the opening of the dimensional path.

Omega may have returned to its homeland.

Guan Bai gazed at the dark depths of space for a long time, then sighed.

For some reason, Omega's return home made Kanpaku feel a little lonely.

The light curtain surrounding the area has gradually dissipated, and he can now hear sirens blaring along the coastline.

Okay, now the next question is how to get out of this mess...

Suddenly, three familiar voices came from behind.

"Kanpaku!!"

He turned around and saw Joel, Allen, and Yanwuxin!

Yanwu Xin stood on the roof of the car, and Alan clung to the car door, both waving at him.

Although Joel was driving, her voice was just as loud as the other two, and Guan Bai could see the big smile on her face through the glass.

The black bread truck stopped next to Kanpaku, and Yanwu Xin jumped down, laughing heartily.

"Senior Kanpaku, we were worried about you, but it turns out you've already resolved things here!"

"As expected of you, you're truly a man of the wind!"

Joel pushed aside Yanwu Xin, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Yamaya Shin, the Regent isn't called Regent anymore, he's called Duel Assassin!"

"Haha, I forgot!"

Yanwu Xin scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled.

Guan Bai's eye twitched.

"Jol, aren't you being too concerned about this sense of mystery?"

"You should have some self-awareness as a resident of the night! Don't be so casual!"

Joel lightly punched Guan Bai in the chest and added in a low voice.

"Hmph, you made me worry for so long..."

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone."

Although he apologized, Guan Bai felt that the little bit of resentment in his heart had dissipated.

"I'm so glad you're alright."

Allen chimed in from the side.

"But what do we do now? The beach is full of police, how are we going to get back?"

Joel put his left hand on his hip and took a USB flash drive out of his pocket with his right hand.

"Of course I have a way! Don't underestimate the Information Girl!"

She ran back to the car, plopped down in the driver's seat, and inserted the USB drive into the car's navigation system.

Blue rays intertwine, forming a map of the coastline.

Those hidden passages have been prominently marked with red dots.

"We'll take this road; I'll lead the way!"

"Guan Bai, get in the D-class car and follow. As for you two, get in, we're off! GO!"

As expected of Joel, he's as reliable as ever when it comes to intelligence gathering!

Yanwu Xin, Alan, and Guan Bai gave each other a thumbs up.

Joel leaned out of the car window, singing an excited aria.

"Duel Killer, on the move! Now that evil has been vanquished, it's time for the hero to retire!"

Are you getting too excited?

Amidst Joel's cheering commands, Kanpaku shook his head with a helpless yet amused expression.

The roar of two engines filled the air.

As the light curtain completely dissipated, a dozen police cars came to a stop at the starting point of the light path, their brakes screeching.

However, there was nothing there.

What they caught was destined to be the unchanging waves and sea breeze.

……

Joel did not bring the big guy back to the Grey Serpent Studio.

After all, the police force that was alerted is now searching the entire city, making it difficult to return to the area around the studio.

Nobody wants to be caught by those local police officers.

The police in the satellite district are mostly corrupt officers who routinely use homeless people to boost their performance records.

Now that such a big thing has happened, it's natural that they need to go everywhere to arrest people and find scapegoats.

If we really get caught up, none of us will be happy.

Right now, the group is eating canned food at their makeshift base in Joel.

This is the basement of an abandoned commercial building.

Joel installed iron gates and alarms here, and stockpiled a wall of canned goods.

Guan Bai asked curiously.

"When did you prepare this place?"

"Ever since the day you hunted Yamashiro Tsuyoshi, all the heroes of the night need to have multiple bases of operations!"

Joel spoke, swinging his spoon and bobbing his head back and forth.

"I was planning to give you the key in the next few days, but I didn't expect to need it now."

That's so unexpectedly thoughtful...

Joel is surprisingly interested in his plan to hunt for cards.

After chatting for a while, Joel took her laptop and went to work.

Alan and Yanwu Xin, unable to stay awake any longer, huddled together under their blankets and fell asleep.

Guan Bai lay on his cot, immersing his consciousness in the system, and began this unpacking session.

Tonight's three consecutive matches have yielded truly remarkable results.

Not only did I get the Great Sun card, but I also bought twenty Dragon Rider packs!

Guan Bai opened the card pack that was swirling in his mind, and a hundred cards flew out at once, forming a wall of cards.

Two square dragon formations, one legion formation, and most importantly, there's even a Silver Oak Sword!

Silver Oak is an important special move.

Combined with the two cards of the Square Dragon, it can activate an eight-star white card. It works well and needs no further explanation.

However, the biggest problem is that Kanpaku currently doesn't have any versatile 8-star Synchro Monsters.

Moreover, in this era, the most useful eight-star white heroes, such as Stardust Dragon and Crimson Demon, are all in the hands of the main characters.

This is very embarrassing.

In other words, now the only useful weapon the Recruits can use is the Silver Oak Sword as a superior henchman.

After the main event, it's time for tonight's dessert.

Kanpaku opened both the Trap Card Pack and the Spell Card Pack.

I looked through them and found some useful cards: a magic card called Hurricane and a forbidden holy book; a trap card called Holy Reversal and a Demon Chain.

These are all useful cards. It goes without saying how good Holy Reversal is as a Hanno Power.

The Demon Chain is a perpetual trap that Jack often uses!

As a miniature infinite bubble, it is absolutely synonymous with usefulness in this era.

People call him "Dog Leash"!

And... one of the most shocking perpetual traps for card players: Skill Drain!

Just looking at the card made Kanpaku feel a chill run down his spine.

He recalled a time when he played Trap Hollow and the opponent's Silver City player drew a Skill Draw card.

Then he got brutally beaten up by the Silver City's second sister, who had 3000 panel points!

Guan Bai couldn't help but cover his face when he thought of those painful memories.

Quack! I don't want to see this!

Furthermore, this card doesn't really fit well with the current Kanpaku deck.

It'll be more like it when Kanpaku gets a full deck of Sin cards and then uses skill draw to play the Ultimate Axe King!

After sorting out what I've gained recently.

Kanpaku set himself a new short-term goal.

First, I seem to like using traps too much.

I keep getting trap card packs, so I need to adjust my deck build for future deck hunts and try to get more spell cards.

Second, we need to collect general-purpose white stones of eight stars and six stars.

The Dragoon deck already boasts an excellent 6/8 Synchro system, so to unleash the full power of the deck, you'll need to work on card collection.

Third, swipe the Daishin card pack.

Omega provides a deck of only one copy of each card from the Universe, and even if you mix in the few random cards that Inoue has in his hand, you still can't form a powerful deck.

After considering all these factors, Guan Bai felt he was starting to resemble a spoiled older brother.

It would be even better if my future winning rate could be like Brother Zuo's.

……

Another corner of the satellite area.

In the dark subway tunnel, there was a slightly warm light.

The underground, which should have been silent, was now echoing with several anxious voices.

"What? Larry's gone?"
