Duels should be played with a smile.

What needs to be done right now... is to continue pretending that you know nothing and play the role of someone who knows nothing!

It's just a performance of throwing away your brain, that's easy!

After a few casual chats, Philvo and Yuzaku had completed their preparations and gathered together to discuss their next move.

Leyou immediately made a big statement: "First of all, this time we need to split into two groups."

"Split into two groups? How many of us are there?" Judai looked over with a pained expression. He knew this guy liked to cause trouble, but he didn't expect him to be so restless at a time like this.

"They said we split into two groups, but in reality, it just meant we were one person less than when we arrived."

Leyou ignored everyone else and directly arranged for Philvo: "Due to some reasons, she needs to take that group of EMem to the Hyperion Dimension. In addition, given my previous special connection with her, it will not affect her remote support to us, so it will not have a significant impact on our overall combat strength."

After a pause, it was discovered that only Yusaku had some doubts, while Yusei and Jaden had no objections. Based on the principle of majority rule, Rakuyu continued with the arrangements.

"The rest of us will immediately return to the Synchro Dimension to provide support... Because of the contingency plans that Yusei made beforehand, even though the city is now surrounded, we can still move out with peace of mind."

With his gaze falling on Yusei, Yusei nodded slightly and continued the conversation: "When the Synchro City was rebuilt, it was based on the 'Doomsday Ark'. On the surface, it looks like a city, but in reality, it is a giant, mobile ark."

"After flipping the upper area over, it becomes an impregnable fortress. Furthermore, it has a large amount of resources stored in a secret location, which can sustain it for a long time even if it is besieged."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the foreheads of Judai and Yusaku. They looked at each other, and Judai's lips twitched slightly as he said, "You guys are really good at this... no, I mean, you're really good at planning."

"But what about the people in the upper echelons?"

“Those people in the upper district…” a faint voice came from Leyou: “Those ‘superior people,’ according to the information we received, they all ran away with their buckets before the siege even started, as if they had foreseen it.”

"...That's all."

"So, in conclusion, our base is blocked, and Filvor just discovered what might be the enemy's base location..."

"In conclusion, it seems that our best tactic at present is to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao."

To put it bluntly, move!

Sigh, I feel like what I wrote is pretty boring as the main text, but it seems okay as background for other Yu-Gi-Oh! novels?

Who among you will write one?

There was this guy in the group who just started playing StarCraft 2. He was playing Zerg, and spent three minutes figuring out how to increase his population. So classic!

It brought back memories of my elementary school days more than ten years ago, when I watched the screen filled with English as I played the Zerg campaign in StarCraft 1, and after an hour of playing, all I got was the house from the campaign missions.

At the time, I thought Warcraft 3 was easier—then I encountered the problem of playing as the Undead and discovering that peasants couldn't chop wood, and that peasants had to stay and watch buildings until they were finished.

Chapter 58, "The Twelve Beasts," is no longer suitable for this version.

Moving to a new place is an art.

If you were to organize all the details, it could probably fill several books. Of course, the core essence remains those three key points.

Utilizing advantages to gain an advantage and secure victory.

A balance of power can be achieved by exchanging sides, thus opening up new possibilities.

A desperate gamble, a chance to turn the tide.

"Our current situation isn't quite a life-or-death struggle, but we've been forced to relocate, and we were definitely at a disadvantage from the start..."

"Our only advantage right now is that our opponents don't know we're going to switch locations."

Philvo has already taken EMem to the Xyz Dimension. Before leaving, she, Yusaku, and Jaden reopened the portal back to the Synchro Dimension, but this time the landing point was not at the Magic Academy.

Because... something went wrong, the space in that place experienced violent fluctuations, making it impossible to construct a portal. Forcing one would likely result in being thrown directly into another dimension.

Let's go back an hour.

After contacting Jack Crowe and the others who remained behind, Yusei made a very bold guess.

"The mural of the Earthbound God is a very special place even within the Synchro Dimension itself. Since we can construct a portal there, can't the enemy do the same?"

Yusei's guess seems somewhat unrealistic at first glance. After all, Leyou had been there before and had examined it carefully, and not much time had passed since they left...

"But we didn't spend much time building the portal, and we were building it forward. If the enemy isn't affected by the dimensional storm... and so far, we really don't have any clues about the enemy's main base. If you want to execute a base-trading tactic, you have to find the enemy's base, right?"

Yusei's words at this point were essentially a clear indication.

Even if this guess seems far-fetched, it's probably the most likely possibility, excluding other possibilities.

Philvo immediately contacted the code talkers waiting in the virtual world and asked them to test the waters. Before leaving, Philvo had left the code talkers with many tasks. Now that the tasks were almost completed, the freed-up code talkers could immediately start on the next task.

Anyway, as long as there are relevant data backups, it won't have much of an impact if the code talker is killed in the real world.

It's practically the lich of the tech world; data backup is roughly equivalent to the lich's life chalice.

The code talkers descended upon the vicinity of the mural through data transformation, only to be wiped out shortly afterward.

Perhaps because the enemy hadn't expected this move, the code talkers transmitted back a lot of data before they were killed—but correspondingly, after the scouts were killed, the enemy would definitely strengthen their defenses unless they were stupid.

"There's no time to dwell on those details. What we need to do now is find a suitable place to teleport there and get started!"

"Wait!" Yusei called out to Rakuyu again, who was about to act recklessly. Perhaps because he had confirmed his guess, Rakuyu now felt like he was closing his eyes to Slam Dunk—since he was already being arranged, as long as he didn't do anything too reckless, everything should be fine.

"What?"

“I’ve thought of a good location,” Yusei replied with a hint of reminiscence.

"where?"

Have you ever been to the town of Guiliu?

Leyou paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that he had indeed overlooked that place.

Although the anime doesn't specify the exact location of the town, the fact that Yusei and the others went there in a D-Wheel suggests that it wasn't far from the city itself.

"...To be honest, it is indeed a good place."

With the key points identified, everyone acted quickly without further delay.

While Leyu and Yusei were discussing these matters, Jaden somehow ended up hanging out with Yusaku again. To be honest, although Jaden is essentially a warm-hearted person with a cold heart, he actually got along quite well with Yusaku, who is a cold-hearted person with a cold heart.

After relinquishing the burden of being the overlord, Judai's mindset is gradually changing. Although there are still not many people who can get close to his heart, at least he is no longer as lonely as before.

He is also looking at everything in the world from a perspective he has never tried before.

Yusaku, who rarely speaks and is a master hacker, is very attractive to Jaden.

When he was a tyrant, his understanding of the virtual world was only superficial. Now that he is a free man, he has plenty of time to satisfy his former curiosity.

However... it's quite difficult to ask someone like Yuzuru, who isn't very good at communicating with others, to explain virtual technology that can't be explained in just a few words.

Anyway, when Leyou went to find the stable channel for the tenth generation after the portals were rebuilt, he found that this guy was already counting on his fingers, "one point, two points, three points".

"Good heavens... the Three Points Cult is adding another person, huh? That's a bit outrageous..."

No one knows exactly what happened, but after Leyu and the others landed in Kiryu's town, Jaden and Yusaku's relationship took another step forward.

If it weren't for Aoi accompanying Yusaku when he came before, and the fact that Judai's body has always housed a Ubel, Leyou would have suspected that a new Yu-Gi-Oh! movie was about to be filmed.

Asuka? Who's that? Is she the one in the bodysuit piloting EVA? You mean the one playing cards? Sorry, I don't really know her.

However... thinking back to the original anime, both Jaden and Yusaku seemed to have single endings...

It doesn't seem to work either.

……

Hyperdimension, Heart Garden.

A Flareon was floating on the left, and a Keyboard Monkey was floating on the right. If it weren't for the Sky Magician leading the way, Philvo could have easily pretended to be a Pokémon Master.

The characters from Entertainment Partners and Entertainment Wizards could easily pass for Pokémon without looking out of place.

Following the Sky Magician, Philvo pondered his thoughts.

There are many things that Leyou won't tell anyone else, not even the Snow Maiden or Ella, but he will tell Philvo alone.

Apart from those three, everyone else is considered an outsider.

Ella and the Snow Woman are not as rational as Philvo. If any extreme situation were to occur, they might do things that Leyou would not want to see.

Only Philvo, representing rationality and knowing the most, is someone Leyou can entrust with everything.

Of course, although it sounds pessimistic, Leyou has always maintained an optimistic attitude.

Even though he suspected he had been set up, he still followed the original plan and made preparations for the exchange with Yusei and Kiryu, who had stayed behind to guide them, in Conflict Town.

However, now Filvo has one more thing to consider.

This is probably the literal meaning of "sharing worries"—sharing one's own worries with others, being carefree oneself, and causing others distress.

Philo, lost in thought, had no interest in exploring the beauty of the Hyperdimensional Dimension; she was simply somewhat surprised by its tranquility.

While other dimensions are directly or indirectly affected by K, the Hyperdimensional Dimension seems rather stable.

Walking along the streets of Heart Garden, passersby didn't pay much attention to Philvo, because many people, like her, were accompanied by elves, strolling leisurely through the streets, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

"It seems there's something going on at the top of this place..."

In fact, the reason for choosing the most primitive method of walking was twofold: firstly, the landing site was not far from the target point, and secondly, Philvo sensed something unusual.

The Heart Garden is shrouded in a huge, invisible protective shield. Through his perception of the virtual world and electronic devices, Philvo knows clearly that the entire Heart Garden is under the protection of this shield—and under its surveillance.

Because of her previous oversight, Philvo was extra careful when constructing the portal this time, minimizing the disturbance as much as possible and shielding herself from related detection. This is why she wasn't detected. Otherwise, she might have had to talk to the higher-ups of the Hyperdimension before searching for the Zoanoids.

After inwardly praising the foresight of the higher-ups in the Superdimensional Dimension, Philvo, after some thought, abandoned his plan to disturb them.

They weren't familiar with each other and had no connection. Even though she had heard from Jaden that those people were very kind and helpful, she didn't want to take the risk.

"arrive."

The Magician of the Sky suddenly stopped.

Philo looked around. It was just an ordinary alley, no different from those clichéd scenes in animations where the protagonist or heroine is cornered by thugs and waits for the hero to save the damsel in distress or the damsel in distress to save the hero.

However, this is indeed the place where the twelve beasts are sealed. Through his connection with EMem, Philvo can sense the presence of the twelve beasts himself.

No, it should be Nine and One-Third Beast.

In Philvo's perception, directly in front of her, at the end of the alley, there were nine distinct fluctuations and one faint fluctuation.

"Interesting... Is it a mirror dimension? Or an overlap between the spirit world and reality?"
