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

However, the man standing in front of them didn't even turn his head; he simply raised his hand casually and waved it forward.

A seemingly thin barrier of dark light instantly formed, accompanied by a loud boom.

It effortlessly and perfectly blocked the red dragon's breath, not even a spark could get in.

"You've arrived."

The man slowly lowered his arm and looked up at the sky. Through the lingering crimson flames, he gazed at Youyang, who stood proudly atop the Red Dragon.

A faint smile slowly bloomed on his pale, ordinary face.

"It's a little bit earlier than I predicted."

"But it's okay, let's wait a little longer... We'll be able to go back together soon."

That smile contained no mockery, no murderous intent, but rather a genuine, pure sincerity and a sense of relief that came from the heart.

These words, spoken as if in casual conversation between old friends, left Tian Daolian and the others behind You Yang completely bewildered and astonished.

The group looked at each other, completely baffled by the meaning of these nonsensical words.

What does it mean to say "you've arrived"?

Did this seemingly dangerous guy on the other side know all along that they were going to attack?

No, judging more accurately from the man's eyes, he was speaking specifically to You Yang!

Did he already know You Yang was coming?!

Chapter 324 Raptor FTK Attack! Activate!

Also, what does "go back" mean?

Where should we go back to?

Does this complete madman in front of me not have eyes? Doesn't he know that he's brought the whole world to the brink of collapse?!

Everyone was filled with anger and confusion, but You Yang, who stood on the dragon's head, was unusually quiet at this moment.

Because only he truly understood what the man opposite him was saying.

A strong wind whipped at You Yang's clothes. He looked down at the ordinary-looking man below with a complex expression.

Looking at the other person's equally jet-black long hair, deep and pure black pupils, and the same skin color that belonged to the same mysterious Eastern country.

That was a secret shared between the two of them, a secret that transcended the world.

You Yang clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh. The emotions in his heart were as complicated and difficult to understand as if a bottle of mixed flavors had been spilled.

The man and the dragon remained silent in the air for a long time before You Yang's hoarse yet unusually firm voice finally drifted out on the wind:

"But...I don't want to go back..."

Upon hearing You Yang's unexpected answer, the man froze on the spot as if he had been electrocuted.

His once lifeless, dark eyes were instantly filled with astonishment, confusion, and deep bewilderment.

He seemed to have considered countless possibilities for their encounter over the long years, but he never imagined that You Yang would actually say "I don't want to go back."

Why don't you want to go back?!

The man's voice suddenly rose, even trembling with disbelief, as he stared intently at Youyang in mid-air: "That's our home!"

"That's the world we were originally in!"

"No matter how many connections you have here, or how much praise you receive, to this world, we will always just be outsiders!"

"They are an anomalies who will one day be rejected by the will of the world!"

The man's tone was full of anxiety, as if he were desperately trying to awaken one of his own kind who was still stubbornly clinging to his delusions.

Faced with the man's hoarse questioning, You Yang's originally turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.

The wind whipped his hair across his forehead, and he lowered his eyes slightly, answering calmly:

"Maybe you're right, but... I think it's better to stay here."

"If you insist on going back, that's your choice, and I have no right to stop you."

"But please stop now, no matter what."

You Yang's gaze grew increasingly resolute, fixed on the Netherworld stone slab that was radiating world-destroying energy.

"If this reckless destruction continues, the world will soon collapse completely!"

"If you stop, I'll help you think of another way to get back."

"Ha ha……"

After a brief silence, the man suddenly let out a low, neurotic laugh.

Then, the laughter grew louder and louder, eventually turning into a deafening, maniacal roar: "Hahahaha—!"

Hearing You Yang's seemingly sincere suggestion, the man laughed wildly while hot tears streamed uncontrollably down his pale cheeks and fell into the ruins at his feet.

"help me?"

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the man's tone instantly turned icy.

The tenderness that had previously appeared in his eyes for his fellow countrymen vanished in an instant, replaced by a chilling killing intent and overwhelming rage that seemed to be tangible!

"Just because of your few casual words, you expect me to abandon the plans I've painstakingly built over countless years, and then continue to wait obediently like a fool?!"

He suddenly swung his arm, pointing it directly at the shattered sky, and let out a roar like a wild beast.

"I've waited for so, so long!"

"I will absolutely not wait even a second longer!"

"I need to go home right now!!"

Hearing the man's resolute and unwavering declaration, You Yang's heart sank completely.

He was acutely aware that there was absolutely no possibility of negotiation or compromise between the two sides.

"In that case, I have no choice but to stop you!"

You Yang's expression darkened, and he resolutely took a step forward.

His body did not fall, but stood steadily in the air between this chaotic world.

This space is no longer a simple dimension of reality, but has been forcibly twisted into a chaotic singularity where four completely different high-dimensional worlds—the underworld, the divine realm, the virtual world, and reality—intersect.

In this place where all laws of common sense converge, the power possessed by duelists will be amplified to an unparalleled degree without reservation!

Crack!

Blinding, dark lightning suddenly leaped and flashed wildly on You Yang's arm without warning.

With the crisp sound of mechanical gears meshing, a pitch-black mechanical duel disk, crackling with violent lightning, was firmly fastened to You Yang's forearm like heavy armor!

Even if he understood the other person's despair of homesickness deep in his heart, You Yang had to stand up for them at this moment.

If the situation is allowed to deteriorate further, it will eventually lead to the complete arrival of the great evil god Zorc, who symbolizes pure destruction.

The three vast spaces—the battlefield of gods, the underworld, and the virtual world—that do not belong here, will completely burst this fragile real world apart!

Hearing their cryptic yet incredibly informative conversation...

Standing at the back, Tiandao Lian, the twins, and the others looked at each other with horror in their eyes, clearly having already guessed the shocking truth that was about to be revealed.

At the very bottom of the battlefield, inside a red sports car that had barely escaped being overturned by the storm, Xie Wan'an was gripping the steering wheel tightly. The expression on her delicate face was incredibly complex, revealing her profound shock.

"Wow... I never expected that just going home on the way would lead me to this kind of earth-shattering gossip that transcends dimensions."

She swallowed hard and muttered to herself.

She found it incredible that she had used countless intelligence networks but still couldn't find any information about You Yang's past. She never expected the final truth to be so explosive.

She always thought that those time-travel novels online were just made up by authors in isolation, but it turns out they were all based on reality!

"Stop me?"

Looking at the duel disk unfolded on You Yang's arm, the man's lips curled into a cold smile full of mockery and disdain.

"Based on that toy on your arm?"

"Is it still going to be through so-called duels?"

He opened his arms, letting the deathly aura of the underworld surround him.

"That's true. After all, this is the origin of this world and the only underlying law that supports its operation."

“You understand the rules of the game better than anyone else, and with that advantage, you can enjoy unprecedented power and experience here.”

The man's voice was full of mockery, as if he saw through everything, "Having tasted this sweetness, of course you can't bear to part with it and don't want to go back."

"Who knows... maybe there's some kind of system residing in your head."

"As soon as the cheat is activated with a 'ding,' you'll be unstoppable, able to turn the tide no matter what dire situation you encounter."

The man's gaze suddenly sharpened, fixing intently on You Yang:

"Reaching the pinnacle of life in this fake world, being worshipped by everyone... of course you don't want to go back to your original, ordinary world!"

"But don't be too arrogant and look down on others!"

The man suddenly raised his hand, and a card radiating a world-destroying black light instantly formed at his fingertips. He gritted his teeth and roared:

"The lofty and unattainable protagonist!!"

The man's tone was chilling, and as he spoke, his pale arm rose slightly with an unnatural elegance.

The White Queen chess piece and the cards radiating terrifying energy that were floating in front of him instantly transformed into streaks of light and silently entered his body.

Immediately afterwards, a strange, blood-red lotus phantom appeared on his forearm. As the petals bloomed layer by layer, they intertwined and condensed into a lotus duel disk that flowed with rich blood light.

The man's eyes were indifferent as he calmly took a step forward.

As he moved, a huge crimson lotus of karmic fire burst forth from the void, steadily supporting his body and allowing him to look down at You Yang opposite him.

"You'll regret it if you duel me."

Faced with the man's contemptuous declaration of death, You Yang did not utter a word of rebuttal.

The fierce wind tousled his hair, but it couldn't shake the unwavering determination in his eyes.
