Chapter 702 Choosing an Opponent (4K, please vote with monthly tickets~)

"This area is all..."

Ninety-nine horses floated in the sky.

This world seems to be neither a human world nor an elf world, but a special kind of world.

In this place, everyone can float and fly in the sky, and because of this, everyone can see the whole world.

Yuma turned around, looked down, and looked around.

tombstone.

Tombstones, one after another.

These tombstones are engraved with names and dates; everything seems to have stopped at the moment they entered this world.

And beyond this tombstone—

Beside it, there was another tombstone, and around that tombstone, there were more tombstones. Looking around, the entire land was covered with tombstones. When the horse raised its head and looked at the horizon, there were still countless tombstones, like trees.

Lush and verdant!
Seeing this scene, Yuma Tsukumo felt as if he could see vivid lives, with their own ideals, their own goals, and their dreams that they would never give up. Yet, they were ultimately brought into this world by Isla, and at their strongest, they died in this place, nameless and forever reduced to a member of the forest.

This world is not dark.

The light nourishes the earth.

The world is not bleak.

Since Ella's aesthetic sense isn't bad, this place is actually quite pretty.

But this loneliness and silent passing, the true "despair" that leaves no trace, made it increasingly difficult for Yuma Tsukumo to breathe.

"Isla!" Yuma put on his D-visual glasses, activated the Duel Disk, and called out Isla's name, everything was understood without words.

The astral body didn't waste any words either, standing beside Yuma and keeping a close eye on Ella.

His memories were stolen by Ella, and he already had a grudge against her. Seeing that Ella had done such a terrible thing, he could not bear it.

Similarly, everyone present had a reason to fight Ella!

Perhaps the members of Team 5DS would be a little more lenient, but IV, Kaito, and even Hikaru Amagi all have reasons to be intolerant of Isla.

“Hmph…” Ella looked at the people she had provoked, but didn’t react in any particular way.

It's different from Darkness.

Although she is called a "concept god," she is not incapable of dueling. On the contrary, under her control, many humans perform better in duels than they would otherwise.

same.

There are actually quite a few humans or non-humans who have driven her to this point.

Before the Astral Body left the Astral Realm, hunters from the Astral Realm would often come to try to kill her, the embodiment of despair.

but--

No one succeeded!
From the very beginning of humankind!

Now we live in an era where human dimensions are interconnected!

Countless people tried to kill her, but in the end, they all died here.

For her, it was just another chance.

Of course, today is a little different.

Perhaps it's due to dimensional travel, or perhaps other factors.

In short, there were quite a lot of people here this time.

This is not a problem in itself.

She was never idle, and it was neither difficult nor inappropriate for her to attract one or two "hopes" at the same time.

The problem is that there are just too many people coming to her residence at this time.

"Hehe, it seems there are quite a few of you who are eager to duel with me." Ella looked at the crowd in front of her, licked her lips slightly, and said, "Although I don't mind, it would be too unfair to duel with so many people. To so easily wipe you out would make my despair seem boring and powerless."

She clapped her hands gently: "In that case, I'll give you a chance."

"In this place, you can duel freely without worrying about causing any damage. Determine your strongest, and then you can duel with me."

She spoke as if she were thinking of everyone's best interests.

"Nonsense!"

"Don't even think about it!" Yuma thrust his fist forward, striking a pose, and shouted, "I don't understand complicated things, but there's one thing I do understand. Because of you, countless people have suffered—Kaito, Yuto, and people from other worlds!"
Now you still want to trick us into killing each other? Don't even think about it!
You hurt them, I won't let you get away with this!

Very impressive.

Yusei looked back at Kujuro Yuma and felt that this child was indeed quite good.

"Hmph..." Ella squinted, deep in thought.

First, she would never try to fight everyone; second, she would not accept a war of attrition.

Because she's not stupid.

Trying to fight everyone is practically suicide. In a war of attrition, as long as enough information is revealed, these duelists can easily come up with tactics and solutions to counter your deck.

Even though she has many powerful and invincible cards, she still needs to be cautious.

Besides.

1 versus 2…

May I?
She pondered this question.

It's not that she thinks 1v2 is too difficult, but rather that she's considering whether it's even possible.

She now understands why she's stuck in the Synchro Dimension and unable to return to the Xyz Dimension.

【The Great War of the One God】.

This battle, which may seem like a free-for-all, actually has inviolable rules.

The winner becomes the true "One God".

The loser will be degraded, sealed away, and transformed into a god, an evil god, a monster, or a "bound god."

This is not a legend of this world, nor is it an excuse or justification of the losers before, but... the truth.

That's the rule of the Great War of the One God!
Therefore, her desire to leave and break the red dragon's seal is not something she can simply do.

Damn red dragon...

The red dragon's power far surpasses hers!

Having personally experienced the power of the red dragon, she knew it better than anyone.

That's why she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

She had previously cooperated with the Fusion Army and had encountered the Crimson Nova during that time. She knew that He was the strongest Earthbound God and had also heard that He was once able to fight the Crimson Dragon to a standstill, making Him incredibly powerful and one of the strongest gods in the world.

To be fair, Ella had felt that guy's power.

Even in a weakened state, she possesses power no less than that of a top-tier No. 1 card; in her full state, she might be comparable to her.

Therefore, she felt that the red dragon was probably at the same level, a "conceptual deity" just like her.

but!
Different!
Completely different!
After experiencing the power of the red dragon firsthand, Ella understood that it was absolutely different!

Whether it's a bound earth god, darkness, or any other deity, whether she has a gap in power or surpasses the other, this gap is not insurmountable.

For example, Darkness can temporarily gain power equal to Tragodia by consuming her.

This difference is visible to the naked eye.

Can--

The Red Dragon is different!
After experiencing it firsthand, she understood that this was a power she could never catch up to in her lifetime! Without relying on external forces, no matter how hard she tried to spread darkness, spread despair, or even destroy the Astral Realm or the Earth, she could not achieve it, could not catch up to it... an insurmountable chasm!
Only with the power of the Source Number, only by obtaining the power of the Source Number, could she possibly compete with the Red Dragon on the same stage.

or……

She looked at Hikaru Amagi.

Hyperfusion!
She had previously tried to persuade Amagi Hikaru to join her ranks, and now this was indeed an opportunity.

If she can defeat Hikari Amagi in this duel, she will have a chance to gather the power of the Super Fusion, the Source, and the Red Dragon.

At that point, not only this world, but the entire dimension could be easily destroyed.

of course.

It's best to just dream about such a good thing.

But even though it's just a thought, it's still reasonable.

Because she had to make a special decision.

That is, she must satisfy "Red Dragon" in this duel.

At least in a way that Red Dragon deems appropriate.

Only by making the other party feel comfortable can she successfully extricate herself.

Otherwise, if she were to directly challenge Yang Dou to a duel at this moment, win while he is unconscious, and then run away, wouldn't that be making things difficult for the Red Dragon?
In other words, the energy level cannot be reduced...

She looked at the ninety-nine horses.

Now that I have revealed myself, I cannot let the astral body go.

same.

She then looked at Amagi Hikaru.

Hyperfusion—Although it doesn't quite align with the initial plan, and Yuto's plans haven't unfolded yet, since he's encountered it, he can't let it pass.

Then the answer is simple.

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance."

Ella slowly raised her right hand, raising her index, middle, and ring fingers, and slowly said, "Three dimensions."

"?"

"Since you all want to duel with me, then I will give you a chance."

“Each of you in each dimension can choose a duelist to duel me in a special 3V1 duel format… that is, a duel between me, you, me, and you. I will have three decks, and I will switch decks every time you change a duelist.”

This is a cycle of despair.

Ella crossed her arms, a bright smile playing on her lips: "This is the maximum favor I can offer, and it is also the final duel that will plunge your fates into the abyss of despair."

"You want to take on three by yourself?!"

"That's outrageous—that bastard!"

Jack and Crow were somewhat annoyed.

But Yusei caught the problem in the details: "Each dimension... even fused dimensions count?"

“Of course.” Ella gently spread her hands. “I said, three dimensions, one duelist in each dimension.”

Crowe frowned.

One duelist in every dimension...

Isn't this deliberately getting Ah Guang involved?
"That's fine too," Hikaru Amagi accepted calmly. "It just so happens that I won't let you leave alive!"

You're giving them a chance to fight 3 against 1?

Then I definitely won't be polite to you!
Therefore, the "Duelers of the Merged Dimensions" quickly decided who would participate.

After all, there was only one person present.

The three of them chatted for a while and didn't dwell on it too much.

As an intruder and "runaway" in the "War of the One Gods," Yusei, as their captain, should participate despite the presence of the Red Dragon.

Meanwhile, the people of the Hyperdimension were having an emergency meeting.

It's not that they're arguing about who should be on top.

If all dimensions could only fight one at a time, they would definitely be eager to personally go up and give Ella a good punch.

But if only one person can appear in each dimension, then it's a different story.

It's not about so-called "dimensional face," but rather about choosing the most suitable candidate.

Kaito Amagi is strong, but he is currently in poor physical condition and is very worried about Yoto, who is in a coma. It would be too much to ask him to fight. Although IV has regained his mobility, he forcibly used the power of despair to summon an Xyz Monster that does not belong to him in order to help the throne test the limits of the Rank-Up Magic. This has affected his physical and mental health, so it is also inappropriate for him.

Therefore, the duel was already decided when Ella announced the duel method; it was already clear that Yuuma, who was in better condition, would win.

However, unlike Crowe and Jack, the two of them did not trust Yuma as much.

It wasn't that I believed in Yuma's fighting ability, but rather that I was worried about him.

In Kaito's eyes, Yuma is still a child who needs to be cared for, and is still his "little brother." Even though he is still sober, he cannot duel and can only let Yuma participate. Facing such a dangerous duel, Yuma must be under a lot of pressure. So, while talking to Yuma, he also looks for cards from his deck that can help Yuma.

IV's ideas differ from Kaito's, but their actions are actually quite similar.

Unlike Kaito, he wouldn't verbally express his concern for Yuma, but he desperately wanted to fight Isla himself. Since he couldn't fight Isla in person, he wanted to feel involved, so he shoved all his ace cards at Yuma and told him to figure it out himself.

“IV————” Looking at the card in his hand, Yuma looked at IV excitedly, feeling like he was about to hug him.

"Stop looking! If you lose, I won't let you off the hook!" IV coughed, then continued, "Go! Bring my share, your father's share, Kaito and Haruto's share, Ryoga's share, and everyone else's share—"

Let that guy know that human rage can burn even gods!

Yuma rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, his gaze gradually hardening, and then he nodded vigorously on the spot.

then.

The final duelist has been chosen!
The three flew to the front of the group, lined up, and faced Ella.

Behind them are their partners, cheering them on.

"Just as expected."

Ella sneered.

From her perspective, on the far right is Yuma, followed by Yusei, and finally Amagi Hikaru.

In other words, is their default order Yuma, Yusei, and Amagi Hikaru?
Because she is the Despair of the Super Dimension, Yuma Tsukumo will fight first; Yusei Fudo's goal is connection and resonance, so he is the second position; Hikaru Amagi, who is in the third position, has the ideal of inclusion and creation, so he is the third position.

Humph--

It's a laughable yet straightforward tacit understanding.

But this is also an opportunity.

If you can win before Amagi Hikaru's turn, you can directly gain the power of "Super Fusion" for free.

"Our respective health points are 12,000, no objections, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"In addition, the field, graveyard, and banished status are shared, but the hand is not."

"Then, let's go, humans!! Feel the real, genuine despair!"

As Ella made her declaration, the world turned from light to darkness. The shadows of the tombstones were stretched infinitely, and the whole world became dim. This desperate world instantly turned into a black hole that devoured everything!
"Respond!!! Ella!!" Yuma shouted.

"Duel!" X4.
Hopeful, Yuma Tsukumo, Yusei Fudo, Hikaru Amagi, LP: 12000.
Desperate Side, E. La, LP: 12000.

　　I originally considered designing a duel where everyone could participate in a round, and the duel ended when everyone's rounds were over, which would result in the human being's defeat. However, I felt that it would be far too long, so I abandoned the idea.
