Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

"..."

Kelos opened his mouth, then fell into a brief silence.

If it were this man named You Yang in front of me... perhaps he really could do it!

After all, Tiandao Lian once said that You Yang, this monster, once single-handedly defeated the legendary Earthbound God - Veracocha Raska!

"Hoo..." Keros exhaled a long breath, his originally straight back hunching slightly, his tone carrying an unprecedented solemnity:

"Then... I'll leave it to you."

"Just do your best to slow Him down. If you are really no match for Him, be sure to retreat immediately to save your life."

He had personally experienced You Yang's unfathomable power, but the scale of the apocalypse brought by the Divine Flame Emperor was now incomparable to the crisis in Tian Shu City back then. It was always better to be cautious.

"Well, I see."

You Yang didn't bother with any formalities. He simply replied, waved casually, and turned to leave the oppressive laboratory, heading towards that desperate battlefield.

However, just as he took half a step, a pair of fair and soft little hands tightly grabbed the hem of his clothes.

You Yang turned around and saw Ling Shiqing standing behind him.

After You Yang teleported over via his mobile phone, Ling Shiqing seemed to have a telepathic connection with him, accurately knowing his whereabouts and silently following him.

However, she simply kept her head down quietly and remained silent throughout.

Looking at the girl's slightly pale fingertips, You Yang sighed softly, his tone softening: "Are you trying to persuade me not to go?"

Ling Shiqing stared at him intently and shook her head vigorously.

Looking into her expressive eyes, You Yang instantly understood her thoughts: "You want to come with me?"

Ling Shiqing nodded heavily without any hesitation.

You Yang looked directly into Ling Shiqing's unwavering gaze, which showed no sign of backing down, and his heart trembled slightly.

He didn't say anything more, but instead grabbed the girl's cool yet soft hand.

Feeling the warmth from his palm, You Yang's lips curled into a reassuring smile:

"Then let's go!"

Just as You Yang was holding Ling Shiqing's hand and about to turn around and step out of the oppressive underground laboratory, the alloy floor beneath their feet began to shake violently without warning!

The highest-level alarm, which had finally returned to normal after emergency adjustments, suddenly emitted a shrill and ear-piercing screech, like a trapped beast with its throat choked!

A blinding and despairing red warning pop-up, like a burst dam of blood, instantly covered all the main control screens in front of Kairos, and the crisis came from the distant horizon.

In Karen City, which is adjacent to Raleigh City, a blinding golden beam of light suddenly shot into the sky without warning.

Despite being far apart, You Yang, Kairos, and the others could still vaguely see the dazzling golden beam of light through the screen.

Within that dazzling golden pillar of light, tens of thousands of strange energy threads were rising from all directions, frantically intertwining, weaving, and weaving in the sky above Karen City!

A colossal figure composed of pure light and shadow is rapidly taking shape in the void.

The first thing woven from power was its long, slender beak, gleaming with a cold, metallic light, capable of piercing the sky.

Next came its enormous, unbelievable wings, completely woven from countless emerald-green feathers that blotted out the sky.

Finally, what was lit up was its terrifying single eye, which resembled a giant ruby ​​and burned with eternal resentment and deathly energy at all times.

As the last energy thread was perfectly woven into its body, an extremely high-frequency, eerie buzzing sound instantly rose to its peak, transforming into a terrifying vibration powerful enough to shatter the barriers of real space!

Om-! ! !

The second deity, the earthbound god Aslia Pisco, descended upon the world with an air of bringing endless misfortune!

"A second god?!"

"Could it be... the god of the underworld!?"

Kelos stared intently at the screen, his eyes trembling with extreme horror, and he gasped in shock.

Because the laboratory currently contained a sample of the raging energy of the Divine Flame Emperor Uria, Kairos easily recognized its magnitude and made a comparison.

However, he couldn't identify the specific identity of this new energy of the same level, and could only make desperate guesses based on its cold and sinister energy form.

The already dire situation, with a slim chance of survival, instantly became several times worse!

However, it gave everyone absolutely no room to breathe or think.

Just as Kairos's brain was still struggling to process this despairing information, the ground beneath their feet erupted in an even more violent tremor that nearly overturned the entire building!

The high-precision testing instruments in the laboratory were completely overloaded and exploded, bursting out with blinding sparks and thick smoke. This apocalyptic situation completely terrified everyone present!

“The…third…deity…” A researcher’s legs went weak and his face turned pale as he let out a desperate wail.

Above Astra City, which is also close to Raleigh City, the sky, which was originally as black as ink due to the cataclysm, was torn apart by a brute force.

At the center of the sky, a huge dark red thunderstorm vortex suddenly collapsed.

Chapter 288 The Arrival of the Apocalypse! The Appearance of the Third Deity!

Within that deep vortex, accompanied by deafening thunder, a phantom of a crimson pyramid-shaped temple, over ten thousand feet tall, slowly emerged, its tip flashing with violent golden lightning.

As lightning surged violently through the clouds, devastating thunderstorms erupted one after another from the high sky, sending countless tangible pulse waves rippled wildly in all directions.

The crimson aurora spread wildly across the sky like the veins of an enraged god, tearing the thick clouds into huge spirals.

And at the very center of those clouds, which is the outer perimeter of that crimson pyramid.

A long, slender body, as red as blood and so enormous that words cannot describe it, slowly appeared, hovering over the pyramid's body!

As its blood-red body spiraled to the very top of the pyramid, this terrifying monster, resembling a world-destroying dragon, slowly opened its eyes.

Those were a pair of dark gold dragon eyes that shone like molten gold, and deep within their cold pupils, the majestic phantom of the entire crimson pyramid was clearly reflected.

On His enormous red body, dazzling golden liquid lightning surged and rolled.

His eyes, like exploding supernovae, burst forth with dazzling golden light, and wherever his divine gaze swept, an inextinguishable raging flame instantly ignited.

Gazing at that indescribably majestic figure high in the sky, even though they were thousands of meters away, through the cold screen, they still felt an unimaginable, terrifying sense of oppression that made them want to kneel down.

As the blood-red dragon-shaped figure was fully revealed to the world, golden divine lightning, like a torrential downpour, rained down from the sky.

Without exception, the ground and buildings struck by lightning instantly burst into flames, and the shrill and piercing air raid sirens wailed desperately in every corner of Astra.

At this moment, it felt like the real end of the world had arrived!

"What kind of cosmic joke is this... three whole gods?!"

Kairos's hands, which had been frantically typing on the main console keyboard, suddenly stopped in despair, as if all the strength had been drained away.

Faced with a god of destruction, they could still grit their teeth and desperately try to find a solution.

Facing two such figures, perhaps we can still hope for a miracle.

But now... there are three deities who brought about the apocalypse, plus that virtual world virus that is frantically devouring reality and whose scale is completely comparable to that of a deity!

Even with his supposedly genius brain capable of calculating everything, he had never imagined such a suffocatingly dangerous situation in the countless worst-case scenarios he had devised.

Kairos felt a chill run through his body, his mind went blank, and he had no idea what other way he could save himself from this hopeless situation where there was no chance of survival.

The other lab staff also silently stopped what they were doing, and some even squatted down with their heads in their hands, letting out low sobs.

"Hello? Hello?"

"Is there anyone who can catch their breath?"

Can you hear me?

Just as the entire underground laboratory had fallen into a suffocating silence, with everyone remaining ashen-faced and silent, an unexpected call, mixed with static, suddenly rang out from the encrypted communication channel of the main control console.

This sudden, even somewhat casual voice, like a thunderclap, instantly drew all the desperate gazes in the laboratory.

Kelos shuddered; he even felt that the somewhat languid voice sounded strangely familiar.

As if grasping at the last straw, he almost reflexively lunged at the control panel and quickly pressed the button to connect the communication.

With a flash of light and shadow, an unexpected face popped up on the holographic screen, leaving everyone astonished.

The man in the picture has a head of meticulously groomed gray hair.

Although his hair was gray, he did not look old; he looked to be no more than thirty years old, exuding a refined and scholarly air.

He wore a delicate monocle over his right eye, and in this apocalyptic atmosphere, he was still holding a steaming cup of coffee steadily in his hand!

This is the epitome of relaxation!

"Victor?!" Upon recognizing the person, Kairos's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed in shock:

"Wasn't the communication link with the outside world cut off a long time ago?"

How did you manage to contact us?!

"Don't make such a fuss." Victor glanced at Kairos calmly through his monocle.

"Looks like your stronghold, the Celestial Arbitrators, hasn't fallen yet? Good, neither have we."

He adjusted his monocle, a glint of mad scientist's pride flashing across the lens:

"By forcibly overdrawing my spirit power, and the new technology I just developed at the last research conference."

"I managed to connect to a few nearby areas with weak signals within the data black hole, and your place just happens to be one of them."

"As for the exchange of new technologies... if we all survive to see the sun rise tomorrow, you are welcome to attend the exchange meeting after this incident is over."

"But for now, enough with the pleasantries, I have something important to announce."

Victor put down his coffee cup, his previously languid expression instantly turning solemn, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"Our surveillance network is fully aware of the emergence of those three deities from the outside world after breaking the seal. I presume you are already aware of it as well."

"Our boss has personally led a team to the front lines to forcibly stop it."

He stared directly at the screen, his eyes sharp, his tone unwavering and firm.

"Although we have our disagreements in normal times, we can still be considered allies in the face of such a life-or-death crisis."

"As allies, at this moment of life and death for humanity, you must remember and do your part!"

Victor delivered the tactical briefing at an extremely fast pace.

"The coordinates of Astra City are closest to our base, so we will concentrate our main forces there to intercept them."
