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

Soleva stepped out of the Duel Disk screen and immediately called out to Yuto and Hayabusa, who were passing by his door, and told them what had happened.

"Mr. Sorewa, are you telling the truth? Is Ruri really still alive!?"

Seeing the delighted expressions on Hayabusa and Yuto's faces, Soreva nodded, reassuring them once again:

“That’s right, Yuya and the others saw Ruri alive with their own eyes. If you don’t believe me, you can contact Yuya. However, Yuya is feeling a bit down right now because he couldn’t help you save Ruri.”

Soreva's words made it clear to the two that he had called them back, and they readily agreed.

“I understand, Mr. Soreva. We will help you comfort Yuya.”

Chapter 198 The Surrounded Yushojuku

"Hey, Yuya, it's been a while."

Just as Yuya was waiting for Soleva's face to appear on the Duel Disk panel, two unexpected people suddenly appeared on the panel:

"Yuto, Hayabusa, what brings you two here too?"

Soon, Yuya realized that it must be because Soleva told Hayabusa and Yuto about his situation that they were here.

Facing these two people, one being Ruri's brother and the other her lover, Yuya lowered his head with a sense of guilt.

"I'm sorry, Hayabusa, Yuto, you must have heard what Mr. Soreva said, right? I... failed to save Ruri from the fused dimension."

“Raise your head, Yuya.”

Upon hearing Yuto's voice, Yuya looked up, but just as he expected to be met with a barrage of insults from Yuto and Hayabusa on the other side of the screen, he instead saw a helpless smile on Yuto's face as he spoke.

“Relax, Yuya, we won’t blame you. It’s not your fault that you couldn’t save Ruri. Even when we heard Mr. Soreva say that Ruri was still alive, Hayabusa and I breathed a sigh of relief. We were so afraid that Ruri might have encountered some accident in the fusion dimension.”

"But!"

Hearing Yuto's words of comfort, Yuya became even more agitated.

"If I had realized their intention to escape with Liuli sooner, or if I had stopped them faster, maybe they wouldn't have left with Liuli!"

“Yuya, if that’s what you’re saying, then both I and Hayabusa are at fault in the matter of Ruri.”

Yuto's next words startled Yuya. He was about to retort when he heard Yuto continue speaking.

“Ruri is Hayabusa’s sister and my lover. If Hayabusa and I had been more careful back then and had been able to protect Ruri, she wouldn’t have been kidnapped by the people from the fused dimension.”

"No, that's not how it works! The one who's wrong is Yuri, who kidnapped Ruri..."

Just as Yuya was about to retort, he saw Yuto and Hayabusa on the other side of the screen already wearing faint smiles:

"Since you put it that way, Yuya, then aren't the ones who were wrong? They were the ones who suddenly gave up the duel and took Ruri's fusion dimension away again. So, Yuya, you have absolutely no reason to blame yourself."

Then, Yudou added:

"Moreover, although I really hope that Liuli can be saved, I hope even more that I can rescue Liuli myself, after all, it is my duty as Liuli's lover, isn't it?"

So, Yuya, when we reach the dimensional fusion stage, don't let your guilt from this incident make you rush to save Ruri before I can. Just focus on doing your job.

"..."

Yuto's words, along with his slightly threatening gaze, caused Yuya to fall silent for a moment before quickly nodding and raising his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"I understand, I absolutely won't affect you. It's just..."

As he spoke, Yuya recalled Yuri, who had intricate connections with him, Yuto, and Yugo, but ultimately ended up on the opposite side of them.

"If that guy Yuri gets involved in this, don't blame me for stealing your thunder! This time, I'm going to settle things with him!"

"Steal my thunder? Let's see if you have the ability then!"

Seeing Yuya, who had clearly regained his composure and was now arguing with Yuto through the screen, Soleva breathed a sigh of relief. Now, it was time to discuss the counterattack against the fused dimension with Akaba Reiji.

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

"Now, let's set off for the Fusion Dimension and stop King Akama Zero's ambitions!"

Several days later, at the Duel Temple, duelists from the [Lancer], Xyz Dimension, and Fusion Dimension all gathered. Although the Heart Garden of Xyz Dimension has been gradually rebuilt thanks to the efforts of the reformed members of the Fusion Dimension, the Duel Temple is still used as their base.

After Soleva's announcement, all the duelists present cheered.

However, even though the goal is to launch a counterattack against the Fusion Dimension, someone must remain in the Hyperion Dimension to protect the survivors and prevent the Fusion Dimension from launching a surprise attack.

So, after the cheers subsided, Soreva looked at the chosen ones who, after discussion, had decided to stay and guard the Hyperdimension:

"Sayaka, Alain, and the Taylor sisters, I'll leave it to you to lead half of the Legion to stay in the Hyperdimension and guard it."

"Yes! I will definitely protect everyone!"

Compared to Sayaka Sasayama's seriousness, her companion Aren Kamuizuki was quite dissatisfied with the decision. Deep down, he wanted to go to the Fusion Dimension with everyone and defeat the invaders there.

A-Lian, who had failed to fulfill her wish, immediately muttered to herself:

"Why can't I also merge dimensions...?"

"Yalian!"

Although his mutterings were not heard by many people, Sayaka Sasayama, who was standing next to him, heard them clearly.

After Sayaka Sasayama's warning rang out, Arian's displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by a deep sense of helplessness:

"I know, I know, I won't say anything, okay? But..."

Glancing at the Taylor sisters beside her, Arian still harbored some reservations about them, given their origins from the fused dimension.

"To actually work with people from the Fusion Dimension to protect the Hyperdimensional Dimension, something I never even dared to dream of before."

The Taylor sisters didn't say much about Arian Kamitsuki's distrust. They knew that as people who had once invaded the Hyperdimension, they were indeed not easily accepted by the survivors of the Hyperdimension.

Therefore, they must take concrete actions to protect these survivors and make amends for the mistakes they made.

"Alright everyone, let's confirm the teleportation coordinates and set off!"

Led by Soleva, Edward, Hayabusa, Yuto, Kaito, and many other duelists from the Fusion Dimension, who were determined to fight to atone for their mistakes, all pointed their fingers at their Duel Disks.

In an instant, these people turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air of the superdimensional dimension.

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

"Oh no, Asuka!"

Seeing her companion rushing up to her so clumsily, Asuka Tenjouin looked surprised. In her memory, this companion had always been a steady person and rarely showed such a flustered expression.

In an instant, Asuka forgot to scold him for running too fast at the academy and whether he might bump into the children, and helped him up, asking:

"Calm down, tell me slowly. What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

After taking a few deep breaths, the man seemed to regain his composure and began to explain the reason for his panic, but his tone was still full of worry:

"Asuka, our Yusho Academy is surrounded! And judging from their clothes, they seem to be our Legion that invaded the Synchro Dimension through Dimensional Fusion! Even the Legion Commander, Edward, has appeared!"

"What!?"

Chapter 199 Standoff, with that man

"Phew, is this the Fusion Dimension?"

Looking at the river behind him, then at the houses in front of him, Soreva immediately turned to Edward beside him and asked,

"By the way, Edward, do you know where we are? How do we get to the [academy]?"

Upon hearing this, Edward looked around, a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Uh... I don't know where this is either. After all, even if I came from a fused dimension, it's impossible for me to have been to every place, right?"

That made sense, so just as Soreva was about to ask the other members of the fused dimension legion who had come with him on this mission, a group of people suddenly emerged from around the house in front of them.

“These people… judging from their clothes, they should be from your dimensional fusion world. Edward, could you ask them for directions?”

Soreva's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the clothes worn by the group of people who suddenly appeared. These people were wearing the same [Academy] uniforms as the Legion. Since they were here, they should know how to get to the [Academy] from here, right?

With this in mind, Soreva immediately gave Edward a terrible idea.

When Edward heard Soleva's terrible idea, he rubbed his nose. To be honest, although he had reformed and betrayed the [Academy], he was still once the Commander-in-Chief of the Dimensional Fusion Legion.

Now, the first thing he did upon returning to the fusion dimension was to ask someone for directions? In a way, that's quite embarrassing.

However, with the bigger picture at hand, he was prepared to put those concerns aside.

Taking a deep breath, Edward stepped forward, intending to ask the group for directions, but he saw them all step back, warily unfolding their duel disks on their wrists:

"I'm warning you, don't come any closer!"

"Hello, I am Edward Phoenix, the Commander-in-Chief of the [Academy]'s Hyperdimensional Legion. I am not a suspicious person..."

Faced with the wariness of the people opposite him, Edward tried to bring up his original identity in the hopes of easing their suspicions, but to his surprise, the people became even more nervous after hearing his name.

"We know you are Ed Phoenix, and we even know those people behind you are members of the Legion. Why are you here? Are you here to hunt down traitors like us?"

A voice came from behind the crowd blocking Edward. A girl named Tenjouin Asuka, with long brown hair, stepped forward and stared sharply into Edward's eyes.

Edward also sensed something amiss in their conversation:

"Wait, traitor? What do you mean by that?"

"Hmph! Stop pretending you know nothing!"

Shouting angrily at Edward, Asuka Tenjouin then began to question him.

"If it weren't to purge us traitors who betrayed the [Academy], why would you, the commander-in-chief of the legion, have brought your army to Yushojuku!?"

Yusheng School! ?

The familiar name instantly widened the eyes of Soreva and Edward. Soreva had never heard of the Yusheng Academy opening a branch in the Fusion Dimension.

Therefore, the existence of this Yushojuku can only be related to Yusho Sakaki, who disappeared after his duel with Edward.

Edward, who also realized this, looked anxious and asked Asuka Tenjouin:

"Do you know this man, Yusuke Sakaki? Is he here?!"

"So, you came here for Mr. You Sheng?"

Upon hearing Edward's words, Tenjouin Asuka immediately recalled what Sakaki Yusho had once told her about a duel he had with Edward.

Sakaki Yusho's leg was injured and left lame during his duel with Edward.

Therefore, Asuka Tenjouin concluded that Edward's purpose in coming here was to take revenge on Yuusho Sakaki. As the strongest duelist in the Yuusho Academy besides Yuusho Sakaki, she had to stop Edward here!
