Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

I'm sending [Cordyceps sinensis] from my deck to the graveyard!

In an instant, a plant formed from several seeds and eyeballs sprouted on Yuri's field. At Yuri's voice, the plant's purplish-red seeds exploded and shot onto Yuya and the others' field, causing a series of explosions.

Now, not only did Yuya and the others' LP decrease by 300 points, but the attack power of the monsters on Yugo and Serena's field also decreased by 600 points.

"It's not over yet! I'll activate the effect of [Dewdrop Hydra] in the graveyard again! Banish [Cannon Lizard] from the graveyard, and reduce the attack of [Ballad of Flowers] on your field by 500 points!"

The attack power was reduced twice, directly lowering [Banana Baroness]'s attack power from the original 3000 points to 1900 points.

"Battle has begun! [Fierce Venom] attacks [Baroness of Flowers]!"

The [Fierce, Hungry, Poisonous Fusion Dragon]'s sharp tail pierced through the [Flower Baroness], whose attack power had been reduced. The tail also grazed Yuugo's body, inflicting 900 points of damage on him as well.

"Next up is [Mud Dragon King], attack [Moonlight Dance Cat Princess]!"

A dark green sludge ball gathered in the [Mud Dragon King's] mouth and then slammed heavily into [Moonlight Dance Cat Princess]. But strangely, [Moonlight Dance Cat Princess], with only 1800 attack power, was not broken by the [Mud Dragon King's] 1900 attack power.

"Serena, what have you done?"

Faced with Youli's doubts, Serena simply snorted and said smugly:

"I didn't do anything, but my [Moonlight Dance Cat Princess] is different from before! The current [Moonlight Dance Cat Princess] can't be destroyed in battle!"

"Hmph! Always resorting to petty tricks!"

After cursing under his breath, Youli was ultimately at a loss and could only end his turn.

"End of round."

Dennis also came over at this moment:

"Lord Yuri, the situation is very bad. We'd better retreat."

"Do you think I'm no match for them!?"

Faced with Yuri's question, Dennis seemed to want to answer "yes". Although Yuri's [Super Polymerization] move just now took out the two most troublesome monsters on Yugo's field, and now even cleared Yuri's field of monsters, the opponent still had the advantage in terms of both LP and the monsters on the field.

Not to mention that it's the opponent's turn next.

But Yu Li happened to be his superior, which made him hesitant to speak the truth. Therefore, Dennis could only say it tactfully:

"Lord Yuri, that's not what I meant. It's just that the parasite that the Doctor is researching is not yet mature. They've already rescued one person. If they accidentally rescue this hostage we have, we'll be in big trouble. Lord Zero will definitely be furious."

Dennis's words silenced Yuri. Indeed, losing Rin was already enough to enrage that man; losing another one would only make things worse…

Moreover, after thinking about it for a while, Yuri realized that his side now only had three people left, and his LP was severely injured, so it was indeed not suitable to confront the three opponents head-on.

"In that case, let's go."

Seeing that Dennis and Yuri were about to escape with Ruri, Yuya and Yugo quickly chased after them, but they were too late. All they managed to grab were a few remaining specks of light.

"hateful!"

Looking at their palms, which had yielded nothing, Yuya and Yugo couldn't help but curse aloud. Meanwhile, Gongensaka and Sawatari, who had dealt with the Obelisk forces, rushed over.

"Yūya, did you guys drive away those guys from the fused dimension?"

Facing the approaching group, Yuya quickly composed himself and said:

"They've been chased away, but..."

Seeing Rin standing with Serena and Hiiragi Yuzu, but not Ruri who had been brought with her, Gensaka, Yuya's best friend since childhood, knew why Yuya was feeling down. He immediately put his hand on Yuya's shoulder and encouraged him:

“Yuya, this isn’t your fault. Besides, things aren’t over yet. The fused dimension is still invading this dimension. Roger, the culprit, hasn’t been caught yet. Don’t be discouraged.”

"Ah, Kongensaka, you're right."

Wiping his eyes, Yuya glanced around at the people around him, his expression returning to its resolute form.

"Then, let's discuss what our next move should be!"

........................

"Damn it! Damn it! Aren't these guys supposed to be the elite of the dimensional fusion realm?! How could they be defeated so easily and give up so easily?!"

Having witnessed Yuri stop Yuya and the others, and then the entire Obelisk force being defeated as well as Yuri and his group, Roger immediately realized that this group from the fused dimension was completely unreliable!

The Obelisk forces initially made a smooth rampage by slaughtering the civilians at the bottom of society. However, after the return of the lower-level duelists such as Crow and Shinji, the battle between the two sides became stalemate.

While it was described as a stalemate, it was actually a one-sided defeat of the Obelisk forces by Kro and his men.

If it weren't for the fact that Kro and the others couldn't, like Yuya and his group, turn the tables and seal away the members of the Obelisk Force, they probably would have wiped them out long ago.

As for Barrett…

Originally, it was his job to capture Serena, but after Yuri assured him that he could bring Serena back, Barrett let him go without worry, leaving him with nothing to do.

Roger then remembered Jack, whom he had always wanted to deal with, and hoped that Barrett could help him deal with this originally strongest duelist in the Synchro Dimension, thereby reducing the obstacles to the Fusion Dimension's invasion of the Synchro Dimension.

Barrett agreed, but just now, he was crushed by Jack.

Both in a dueling and physical sense.

Barrett, who considered himself an elite duelist in the Fusion Dimension, agreed to Jack's conditions for a riding duel. As a result, during Jack's final attack, Barrett was thrown from the top floor of the road to the bottom floor by the out-of-control D-Wheel.

Although Roger couldn't see Barrett's body, he felt that probably no one could survive falling from such a height.

Therefore, escaping was Roger's first choice.

However, just as Roger escaped from his office, three figures were already standing in front of him:

“Jean-Michel Rogers, you have nowhere to run.”

Chapter 197: The End of the Synchronized Dimension, the Prelude to the Counterattack on the Merged Dimension

When Yuya arrived at the Public Security Bureau with Hiiragi Yuzu and Gongenzaka under Sora's guidance, they found that Hinakage and Tsukikage were already waiting at the entrance.

"Sun Shadow, Moon Shadow, since you're here, does that mean Akaba Reiji is here too?"

In response to Yuya's question, the two nodded, and then the older brother, Himakage, spoke up:

“That’s right, Lady Zero has captured Roger and is currently interrogating him. Yuya, if your goal here was him, you’re probably too late.”

When his younger brother, Tsukikage, noticed that Yuya seemed to be missing a few people, he couldn't help but ask:

"Speaking of which, why are you the only ones who came here? Where are the others?"

“Yugo and the others have already rushed back to the lower classes to help the common people. Since you no longer need help here, then we will go and help them as well.”

"Don't worry, with Lady Ling'er's skills, nothing will happen."

Having received such an answer from Hikage and Tsukikage, Yuya nodded and led the group towards the lower levels. Watching their departing figures, Hikage and Tsukikage couldn't help but sigh:

"It seems that things here are finally coming to an end."

"Yes, Lord Zero will eventually lead us to defeat the fused dimension and protect our home."

........................

The night passed quickly. For many, it was a peaceful night's sleep, but for others, it was a sleepless one.

That night, the Fusion Dimension invaders, who were the vanguard invading the Synchro Dimension, were almost all sealed away with the cooperation of the [Lancer Legion] and the Synchro Dimension Duelists.

The next morning's news, from both the top and bottom levels, reported that the head of the Public Security Bureau intended to collude with the fusion dimension and invade the synchronized dimension.

The Administrative Council's response to the incident was to remove Roger, the Director of the Public Security Bureau, from his post and sentence him to life imprisonment.

They also released videos of lower-ranking duelists like Kro and Shinji fighting bravely against the Obelisk Force.

Taking advantage of this crisis of aggression, which provided a rare opportunity for the people at the bottom and the top to unite in their hatred of the enemy, the Administrative Council officially announced the abolition of the distinction between the top and the bottom. In the near future, the Public Security Bureau will also be abolished, and the Administrative Council will dedicate itself to improving the living conditions of the people at the bottom.

Meanwhile, with the strong support of the Administrative Council, Kuro, Shinji, and others became heroes who saved the Synchro Dimension.

Of course, there are good things, but there are also some bad things. For example, the Friendship Cup, which was originally a competition to foster friendship between the top and the bottom levels, has now been canceled because the distinction between the top and the bottom levels has been completely abolished.

However, it's hard to say whether it will be revived in another way.

Meanwhile, the main characters in this incident, such as the heroes like Crow and Shinji, have also received messages from the Administrative Council and Reiji Akaba, which they are sharing with Yuya and the others:

"Speaking of which, when you guys told us about the dimensional war, we all thought you were joking. But it wasn't until yesterday, when we actually faced those people who claimed to be from the fused dimension, that we realized what you said was true."

Yuya also saw the conscription notice in Crow's hand and asked him:

"Crow, while from the perspective of fighting against the Fusion Dimension, I would very much like a duelist with your strength to join us. However, as a friend, I also want to tell you that our journey to the Fusion Dimension might ultimately be very dangerous, and you are perfectly capable of..."

Raising his hand, Crow immediately interrupted Yuya before he could speak:

"No need to say anything, Yuya. I understand that you mean well, but I also have my reasons for doing this."

As he spoke, Crowe looked out the window. Although innocent children were still running happily in the streets, many adults wore sorrowful expressions.

“Yuya, do you see them? They are the people whose lives were taken when the fusion dimension invaded. One of my purposes in going to the fusion dimension was to find a way to restore these people who were turned into cards to their original state, and to bring smiles back to their faces.”

“I understand, Crow. Well then, welcome to our team as a member of the [Lancer Legion] resisting the fusion of dimensions.”

When Yuya extended his hand, Crow shook it in return:

"Well, let's continue fighting side by side from now on."

Just as the two were smiling at each other, Yuya's Duel Disk on his wrist started beeping.

"This is... a communication from Mr. Soreva and the others!?"

Upon seeing the sender's name displayed on the Duel Disk, Yuya's face instantly showed surprise. Since arriving in the Synchro Dimension, they hadn't been able to contact Soleva and his group who were heading to the Xyz Dimension, leading Yuya and the others to believe that Reiji Akaba's interdimensional communication function on the Duel Disk was malfunctioning!

After Yuya opened the communication, Soleva's face appeared on the Duel Disk panel:

"Oh, Yuya, I've finally gotten in touch with you! How's the synchronization going on your end?"

“Ah, Mr. Soreva, over here…”

After exchanging information, the two finally learned about each other's current situation.

"Now that the Xyz Dimension and the Synchro Dimension have both been at peace, our next goal is to head to the Fusion Dimension and completely crush King Akama's ambitions."

After these reflections, Soleva noticed Yuya's somewhat dazed and lost expression and asked softly,

"What's wrong, Yuya? That expression... are you still bothered by the fact that you didn't save Ruri from the fused dimension?"

“Yes, Mr. Soreva. Ruri was already standing in front of us, and we had even rescued Rin, but we didn’t stop them and let Ruri be taken away with them.”

Seeing Yuya's regretful expression as he clenched his fists, Soleva sighed. He knew that Yuya was getting stuck on one thing again; he was someone who was prone to getting stuck on one thing.

However, Yuya cannot be persuaded on his own in this matter; he needs to seek help from others.

"Yuto, Hayabusa, please come here for a second!"
