Duels should be played with a smile.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Judai's forehead... This, this really is her?

Homework could cause the world to end, what should I do? I need help urgently, I'm online.

---

Why is there still no release date for Black Myth? I'm so anxious!

The guy who recorded the gameplay demo was a smart guy; he chose the strategy with the most comments.

Chapter Fifty-Two: One-on-One or Group Fight? Choose!

"I can't explain the specifics right now, and even if I did, you might not understand, and even if you did, it wouldn't be of much use..."

"Stop!" Leyou interrupted Philvo's platitudes and gave her a puzzled look.

What exactly happened to make her change so much all of a sudden?

Before Leyou could figure it out, he noticed Philvo giving him a wink—okay, so this is an act?

Rewind a few minutes, after Philvo said he needed Jaden's help, everyone lowered their heads and pondered with different expressions.

They weren't mindless blabbermouths; when they realized things were going far beyond their expectations, they all began to analyze the details of this series of events.

Yuzu was the first to offer his opinion. He didn't know much about the current situation, only that he had been entrusted to lead people to the Pendulum Dimension. Now that the people had arrived, he was told that something had gone wrong. If he hadn't met Philvo, who had been a great help to him, and if he hadn't been curious about Leyou, he probably would have left to go back and study the dimensional storm that had mutated again.

When asked about Yusaku's question, Philo answered with the same clichéd and meaningless words.

However, while answering, she also secretly had the little fire dragon following You Zuo send him a message, telling him not to make a fuss.

Perhaps due to past impressions, after Yusaku stopped asking questions, the three of them, including Judai, remained silent, as if they had completely accepted what Philvo had just said and what he had said before.

As for the 5DS... Yusei looked at Leyou, who nodded slightly, and Yusei nodded in agreement. Then the rest of the people had no objections.

Anyway, Leyou didn't quite understand what Yuxing's questioning gesture was asking; he just nodded back reflexively.

All I can say is that there were some coincidences and some childishness involved. Anyway, it was all so unclear, and in an atmosphere where almost everyone was a riddle reader, no one had any objections.

Leyou was also confused, but he didn't care. His goal was to find EMem in the Pendulum Dimension and see if he could find Silver Gold along the way. Once Silver Gold was found, locating the Water Machine through Silver Gold and the Anaconda wouldn't be too difficult.

Other details are unimportant and don't matter; I can ask Philvo about them when I have time.

Anyway, that's just how easygoing he is.

Once everyone reached a consensus, the rest was much easier. After Philvo distributed all the tasks to everyone, the group of people who had come together by chance began to take action.

The task allocation was also very simple. Key figures Yusaku and Jaden had to come, and Yusei from the Synchro team also needed to come for some reason. The rest were the Bronze Saints who stayed behind to guard Athena.

When Leyou heard such a simple and straightforward plan, he was a little skeptical. Was this some kind of StarCraft game, with a dual-front battleground, where the main force defends the base while a small squad raids it?

However, this team that attempted to steal the base was a bit too impressive.

It is known that the non-perfect form of Yugi, the perfect form of Jaden, and the Rookie form of Kelpie can easily defeat Paradox. So the question is, what level of opponent can the ultimate form of Yugi, the ultimate form of Jaden, the ultimate form of Yusei, plus a lecherous man and a Firegate, defeat?

Anyway, Leyou thinks that this team has "a sure win" written all over their faces.

They were all seasoned veterans, and with the intelligence and mission clearly understood, they only needed a little preparation before setting off immediately. In fact, apart from arranging accommodations for Asuka, Caesar, and Zaizen Aoi, there wasn't much else that needed special preparation.

Asuka and Caesar are also very adaptable. After learning that they had been thrown into the Synchro Dimension and would not be able to return for a while, they readily accepted their current mission.

Because of Garumier, Caesar no longer needed to restrain his fighting desires. After learning what he was about to do, he was actually quite excited.

To put it another way, guarding the home is like a great demon king waiting for a hero to come and challenge him. He used to be a great demon king in the academy, accepting challenges from his classmates from time to time. Now it's just a different place and different people.

Moreover... the stronger the enemy, the more excited he would feel; he felt he didn't need to care about anything else.

Compared to the simple and pure Caesar, Asuka clearly has a lot of ulterior motives. She can be considered to be carrying a mission. She came to this place by chance, a place closely related to her mission, which is perhaps a kind of luck.

It saved her the trouble of searching the world for people, and allowed her to get up close and personal with the world and learn about the things that were about to happen. This was an essential experience for her.

After another round of trouble, once all the trivial matters were dealt with, Leyou and the three oddly dressed guys, led by Philvo, set off.

"Destination, let me see... According to my calculations, this place has been the area with the greatest fluctuations in the dimensional storm over the past few days."

The location was sent to everyone's Duel Disk by Philvo. Jaden was not familiar with the map of Synchro Dimension and did not recognize where it was, but he was the first to ask.

However, the way he raised his hand to ask a question really resembled that of a student in a classroom.

"Why go to the place with the greatest fluctuations in the dimensional storm?"

Philo wasn't surprised by Jaden's question, but Yusaku spoke first before she could answer.

"Large fluctuations mean that there will be times when storms have very little impact on the channel."

“That’s right.” Philvo ignored Yusaku’s quick answer and continued to explain: “The specific operation method is that Yusaku and I will use the virtual world to interfere with the dimensional storm to further reduce its impact. Then Jaden will use the power of super fusion to temporarily shorten the distance of the passage, while Yusei will be responsible for using the power of the Red Dragon to clear the way.”

"what about me?"

"You? You're in charge of guarding and getting ready for battle." Philvo rolled his eyes at Leyou and tossed him a blank card: "You don't actually think the enemy won't notice when virtual interference, hyperfusion, and a red dragon all happen in one place at the same time, do you?"

"Considering that it will take some time to cross the tunnel, I estimate that once we land, we will be greeted by a bunch of well-prepared enemies."

"...It's not a big problem, don't panic."

Looking back at the three main characters, Leyou felt that they were still as stable as ever.

Incidentally, the group once again set off in their D-Wheels. Yusaku, who roams around various dimensions, also has a D-Wheel.

As for Judai... he had visited Synchro Dimension before, and the higher-ups there gave him a D-Wheel as a "symbol of friendship." Philo somehow managed to get his hands on that D-Wheel as well.

All I can say is that Doraemon's nickname is truly fitting.

Leyou even speculated that the reason Fire Dragon was added to the banned card list might also be due to its overwhelming power in the virtual world.

Knowing what Filvo had planned, Leyou looked at the map again, but after a quick glance, he lifted his hair and asked, "Speaking of which... this place looks kind of familiar to me?"

"It's normal that it looks familiar, because that's the mural of the Earthbound God."

"Ok?"

"What's so strange about that? That place has the biggest fluctuations besides the eternal transfer machine in the city center. I don't think you would go to the eternal transfer machine to open a portal, would you?"

Everything was explained clearly, and no one asked any questions afterward. Everyone was quietly preparing for what might happen next, and of course, some might also be thinking about their own little schemes.

For example, all three of them just noticed that Philvo handed a blank card to Leyou, which reminded them that they had also received a similar blank card not long ago.

In the past, they wouldn't have paid much attention to these blank cards; they would simply wait until the cards became usable before dealing with them. But the current anomalies have left them no choice but to think about it.

Leyou and Yusei were quite familiar with the route to the Earthbound God mural. After more than a day's journey, led by Leyou, they arrived at the ruins of the Magic Academy located beneath the mural.

"There are places like this... It's nice, quite suitable for opening a business here."

A strange look flashed in his eyes, and Philvo casually sighed a few times before getting the others to start making arrangements.

Philvo led the way, You played a supporting role, and the rest were just assistants.

After much effort, with the help of some remaining facilities at the Magic Academy, Philvo completed the preliminary preparations ahead of schedule.

Next comes the exciting moment...

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Philvo transformed back into her dragon form. Relying on her authority and the various devices she had just prepared, she directly materialized the data stream from the virtual world into a physical entity in the real world.

After a series of actions that no one except Yusaku could understand, Philvo constructed a very unstable portal.

"Now, Tenth Generation!"

Upon receiving the order, Jaden, who was already prepared, instantly entered the state of readiness. A majestic aura suddenly erupted from his body, and a vortex representing fusion appeared behind the portal.

Under Philvo's control, the power of the Tenth Generation, along with the data stream and various other things, mixed together in a peculiar way, gradually merging into one, transforming into an indescribable energy.

After the energy was fully fused, it was thrown into the portal by Philvo. Before long, the portal, which was initially somewhat illusory, gradually became stable.

"Time is short. Youxing, you lead the way, Leyou, you follow. We'll be there soon!"

Yusei and Leyu, who had been waiting for a long time, exchanged a glance, and the D-Wheel accelerated instantly, rushing into the portal.

……

Roars, screams, songs—a cacophony of sounds mingled in the vast open-air plaza.

This is a unique concert. On stage, a petite girl is bringing a wonderful experience to the fans in the audience with her melodious singing.

Beside the girl were two black and white objects that looked like speakers, roughly shaped like winged eggs. They were a bit strange, but paired with the girl's beautiful singing voice, they looked quite cute.

On the top of a building far from the square, two tall men gazed at the square, but their minds were not on the girl.

“They’re here.” Darkness suddenly looked up at the sky on the other side. Some distance from the square, strange ripples appeared in the sky, as if the sky was rippling.

"Oh? It's taken you so long to arrive. I was so bored... This time I... wait a minute?" The Lord of the Thousand showed an interested smile and flew off into the distance before Darkness could give the order.

Darkness was slightly puzzled, but quickly followed up, waiting for the target to arrive.

"No matter how many people come this time, there's one guy who must be handed over to me." Lord Thousand had already taken out his Duel Disk and finished adjusting his deck.

It was rare to see the thousands of masters, who were always half-heartedly working because they were coerced into joining, become so interested. Darkness didn't refute it, but nodded slightly: "I don't know the exact number, but it can't have too much of an impact on the other side. I can stop three at most, and you can handle the rest. Consider it a condition for your request."

“Alright.” Lord Qian casually agreed, “As long as you hand over that target to me, everything else is negotiable.”

He sensed it; among those who were about to descend, someone was carrying a portion of the source code that should have belonged to him!

Since being brutally beaten by Darkness with Kshatriya and forced to join this side, the thousands of Lords who suffered repeated defeats have been studying the source number code again. As a result, he actually made a discovery—the source number code in his hand is only half. The reason it looks complete is because what he has is the complete "shell".

The true essence, you never know when, will disappear.

It's true that the source code is to blame for the two failures. Thousands of masters have been searching everywhere for another part, and today it has actually been delivered to their doorstep!

A moment later, under the expectant gazes of thousands of lords, a teleportation portal appeared in the sky.

"grass--"

He only had time to utter a cry of alarm before two D-wheels falling from the sky slammed into him at incredible speed, running him over.

"Did we just hit something?" Leyou asked Yusei, who was standing next to him, as he spun out and brought the D-Wheel to a stop.

"I don't think so?"

"you...!?"

Two more D-Wheels roared past, this time belonging to Jaden and Yusaku.

At this moment, Darkness, whose thoughts had been disrupted by the unexpected situation, finally came to his senses and immediately appeared in front of the group, blocking their way.

"you..."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's fight!"

Leyou decisively pulled out his Duel Disk; he recognized who it was at a glance.
