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

The mushroom cloud from the explosion engulfed two police vehicles, swallowing up the screams of the two guards as well.

[Tetsuya Ushio & Shigeru Junki LP: 2800→0]

Defeat elite-level duelists, defeat expert-level duelists.

[Rewards: 15 Dragon Riders themed card packs, 10 Magic themed card packs, and 5 Trap themed card packs]

Victory is easy!

This is the ultimate combined attack technique between me and Crab Bro!

Without the limitations of the high-speed world, Kanpaku and Yusei set off at full speed.

The Planet and the Star roared, leaving the two guards far behind.

The two police vehicles spewed out massive amounts of decelerating air, and Ushio and Junki Shigeru, losing speed, disappeared into the dark end of the road.

……

Top-tier zone.

A towering residential area, a place only the wealthiest can live in.

The man in the black vest was staring intently at his palm.

He was holding a monster with a white frame, in which a beautiful silver-white dragon was depicted.

This is a Stardust Dragon.

Yusei's ace.

Jack's eyes seemed to pierce through the card, seeing behind the Stardust Dragon.

That's the direction of the satellite area.

Will the king also dwell on memories of the past?

A magnetic voice sounded from behind. Jack turned around and looked at Godwin, who had suddenly appeared.

"Is there something you need to report that you've suddenly appeared here?"

Godwin smiled, stood ramrod straight with his hands behind his back, like a subordinate awaiting inspection.

"It's nothing serious. It's just that the report on the satellite area light curtain incident has come out."

Jack said coldly.

"Didn't we say that matters in the satellite district are something your police department should handle yourselves?"

"After all, it's a new force. Perhaps it's a new instruction from God."

Goethe explained gently.

"Furthermore, I think Wang is more concerned about what's happening in the satellite region. After all..."

After all, you grew up in the satellite region.

"Don't mention that place again."

Jack stroked the dragon mark on his arm, his voice filled with unbearable humiliation.

"Whenever I think about the fact that I came from the satellite zone, I feel a suffocating sense of shame!"

"I wish that kind of world could just disappear."

Godwin shook his head.

"I'm afraid that won't work. This city is supported by satellite districts."

"The people there are responsible for recycling the waste from the satellite area."

Shin-Domino City has relocated all functions such as heavy industry and waste disposal to satellite wards.

They dump all the wastewater, smoke, and noise that city residents don't want there.

They traded the smog and pollution there for the overall prosperity of the city.

What was already a ruin has become an even more terrifying hell.

"Nothing in the world is useless. And the king's experiences before becoming king were all tests given by God."

Godwin's calm voice echoed in the spacious living room.

Jack listened to Godwin's words and fell silent for a moment.

In my memory, the figures of those friends from the past flashed by.

Those memories of finding joy amidst hardship and relying on each other did not warm his empty heart; instead, they made him even more irritable.

"Whoosh!"

He threw the card in his hand into the deck on the coffee table.

Then he turned around and stopped looking at the place where he was born.

……

Satellite area.

A quiet pile of ruins.

There is a partially exposed basement, hidden beneath a concrete structure.

This is one of Fudo Yusei's temporary bases.

The orange flames flickered and crackled among the wood.

Kanpaku and Fudo Yusei sat on either side of the fire, warming themselves.

"Thank you so much for today."

"He saved Larry and helped deal with the police."

Yusei poked at the fire, looking intently at Kanpaku.

The emotion in his voice was somewhat subdued, but this only made the feelings he expressed seem more genuine.

"It was just a small favor."

Guan Bai smiled and shook his head.

"Those police officers have chased me several times. I'd be happy to teach them a lesson this time."

Plus, you get card packs for winning, so why not?

"Furthermore, in the duel just now, it was you, Yusei, who wiped out their basic abilities."

"No, you were also important in terms of your contribution to the duel."

When the topic of dueling came up, Yusei's usually calm face broke into a smile.

"Without you clearing the back row, providing traps and Synchro materials, I wouldn't have won so easily."

This is a perfect example of successful collaboration!

Kanpaku couldn't help but recall the countless doubles matches he had experienced while playing the Card Power series.

There's an old joke in Yu-Gi-Oh!:

Release the Meteorite Quasar Dragon and the Divine Universe, and summon the Black Magician.

However, anyone who has played the Card Power series knows that this is a harsh reality.

Especially the card power SP!

Guan Bai didn't expect his NPC teammates to be carry players, but he also didn't expect them to be so inhuman.

This event is also recorded in Yu-Gi-Oh! Mugen.

Chisei also made fun of the mentally challenged NPCs in the Card Power series in his works.

A mole, no doubt!

Kanpaku once lost because of the release of the King's mother and the summoning of the Black Magician by the Xiaomi.

There was also a time when the president, Frankenstein's monster, pulled out an Ultimate Dragon, punched out a Guts, and then was instantly killed by the counterattack.

While the Crab Bro in SP wasn't as exaggerated as the previous two examples, he was still a erratic character with both supernatural and supernatural traits.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Reality and games are indeed different.

Yusei is still the reliable crab guy from the anime!

Following this topic, the two talked a lot about construction.

At the end of their conversation, Kanpaku asked Yusei a question.

"Larry said before that you were going into town to get the ace back from Jack Atlas?"

Yusei glanced at Guan Bai with some surprise.

It seems that, unexpectedly, Guan Bai didn't take Larry's words as bragging, unlike the others.

He lowered his head, poking at the fire, his eyes reflecting the orange-red outer flames.

"Yes."

"But it's not just because the ace was taken away; I also want to get an answer from him."

Why betray everyone's vision?

Why abandon the bonds between us?

"Moreover, I also want to prove that I can surpass him."

Yusei Fudo's expression remained calm.

However, the fluctuations in his tone still revealed his unsettled state of mind.

It seems that Yusei is reminiscing about the days when he was active as a member of Satisfaction Team.

Although those times were tough, he and his friends and brothers could still find solace in supporting each other.

And now.

Gui Liu went to prison and his whereabouts became unknown; the crows have not been heard from for a long time.

Jack left with his ace and became the king of the top zone.

Only Yusei remained in place, guarding the bonds in his heart.

This period was probably the most difficult time for Yusei during the entire 5DS era.

That's why Crab Bro was so quiet and reserved when he first appeared.

The Duel Disk vibrated slightly.

Kanpaku made an excuse and went outside the base.

Kanpaku turns on the display mounted on the Duel Disk.

It was a communication from Joel.

"Yego has already sent an email, asking you to enter the city in three days~ (＞。＜)~"
