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

Seeing IV bow down and sincerely apologize, Shark felt a mix of emotions. His rational mind told him:

"Shark, you have completed your revenge, and IV has realized his mistakes and received his due punishment. It's time for you to turn the page."

You have a long life ahead of you. It's time to start now, cast aside the shackles of the past, and move towards the future.

But at the same time, another voice roared:

"Why give up! Isn't this punishment enough? Are you just going to let IV off the hook like this?"

Ultimately, the shark, in a state of mental turmoil, was unable to make any choices. He didn't even know how to face IV, who was standing in front of him.

So he got on his own roller coaster and, instead of acting like a loser, quickly ran away.

"shark!"

Seeing the shark flee, Yuma, who had just taken a few steps up and overheard the conversation between the people, tried to call out to the shark, but the shark could no longer hear Yuma's voice and continued to drive the roller coaster away.

“IV, you…”

Seeing that the shark was running so fast that he couldn't catch up with it, Yuma looked at IV. From IV's words just now, Yuma vaguely guessed that IV's purpose this time was to help the shark get rid of the control of [No.] card.

However, by a twist of fate, IV actually accelerated the process of the shark being controlled by [No.] card.

Upon seeing Yuma standing beside him, IV knew that perhaps the task of saving Yuma ultimately depended on Yuma. And he believed that Yuma possessed the ability to do so.

“Yuma, I failed. I wanted to defeat the shark in this duel, free him from the control of [No.] card, and then properly apologize to him. Unfortunately, I overestimated myself.”

but……"

He solemnly placed his hand on Yuma's shoulder and immediately said earnestly:

"I believe that with your skill, you will definitely be able to face the shark again in the next match. So, please, help the shark break free from the control of that [No.] card!"

Faced with IV's request, Yuma immediately nodded emphatically in agreement:

"Don't worry, IV! I will definitely bring the shark back!"

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

However, seeing Yuma and IV's four hands tightly clasped together, Soreva couldn't help but want to complain:

"Even though among the people you know, Yuma is the only one who will encounter a shark in the upcoming matches, IV, can you please stop making it sound like you're about to die and giving your final instructions?"

Of course, Soreva wouldn't say something so unpleasant, so he stepped forward and put his hand on Yuma's shoulder, saying:

"In that case, Yuma, shouldn't you set off? It seems these venues are only available for one-time use. If you don't manage to secure a venue for the competition and fail to advance to the next round, wouldn't that be terrible?"

"Oh? Oh right! There's such a thing!"

Upon hearing Soleva's reminder, Yuma immediately took Kotori and Tetsuo and boarded the roller coaster they had come on, waving goodbye to Soleva, who was now on board the IV.

"Then, Uncle, I'm counting on you for IV!"

"Oh! Don't worry!"

After waving to each other, Yuma immediately started the roller coaster and rushed towards the remaining area where no one had participated in the competition yet. As for Soleva and IV, who were still temporarily staying in this area...

"How was this duel? Did it free you from your past once again?"

Upon hearing Soreva's question, IV remained silent for a moment before slowly answering:

"If it's that IV who wants to atone for his past, although I regret that I still couldn't save the shark, I believe that Yuma can definitely help me complete the step that I couldn't do."

However, as for duelist IV…

IV let out a low "tsk" before saying with dissatisfaction,

"Losing in a duel is really frustrating!"

"Well, if it's a duel, if I lose this time, I can win next time. If you feel that the cards you have aren't enough to beat the shark..."

Smiling, Soreva showed several cards to IV.

"I might have something interesting here."

The first of these cards, the one that IV saw most completely, was an Xyz Monster with a black border.

A monster he had never seen before, named [Machine Puppet - Gigantic Doll].

Chapter 450 A Gift of Fate, Yuma VS Gorsh, Begins!

"This is……"

IV was stunned when he saw the monster with the blue puppet body in Soreva's hand. After all, he saw many parts of the [Mechanical Puppet] monster he owned on this monster.

The heads of [Mechanical Puppet - Little Dwarf] and [Mechanical Puppet - Gear Shifter] appeared on the monster's chest and right arm, while the scissors and scythes of [Mechanical Puppet - Scissors Arm] and [Mechanical Puppet - Night Clown] became its weapons.

That wasn't all. With a flick of his wrist, Soreva saw even more monsters and magic cards bearing the name [Machine Puppet], but which he had never seen before.

However, the last few cards, both in style and name, seemed somewhat out of place with the [Mechanical Puppet] card, prompting IV to ask curiously:

"these are……"

"Oh, you mean these cards? Speaking of which, these cards were specially picked out because I thought of the effect of your [No. 88 Mechanical Puppet - Lion of Destiny]."

As he spoke, Soreva picked out the cards that he considered most important to IV and began to explain them to IV.

"In my opinion, this [Raid Team Wing] is the core of these cards."

This card has the effect of removing Xyz Material from one DARK Xyz Monster you control while it is in your hand or Graveyard, and then Special Summoning it.

This effect should suit your [Lion of Destiny] quite well, right? As for the remaining cards, they're mostly there to help you add this card to your hand.

However, hearing about the potential effect, IV was somewhat tempted, but...

"This effect does indeed synergize well with [Lion of Destiny], but don't you think it would be quite difficult for me to draw this card if I only have one copy in my deck?"

But what if I put too many of these monsters in my hand?

Faced with IV's questioning, Soreva simply waved the card he and [Raider Wing] had pulled out together, and said smugly:

"So, these cards are necessary!"

This [Raiding Bird - Powerful Owl] can be used once per turn to remove one Xyz Material and add one Level 4 Winged Beast-Type DARK monster from your Deck to your hand. It's perfect for searching for [Raiding Wing].

Furthermore, this card only requires two Level 4 monsters as Xyz Materials, and your [Goblin] deck happens to have quite a few Level 4 monsters, right? Using them to Xyz Summon it would be perfect, wouldn't it?

After listening to Soreva's recommendation, IV nodded silently. At this moment, he was finally convinced by Soreva's advice.

Receiving the cards from Soreva, IV said with great emotion:

"Although I really want to fight the shark again, unfortunately I'm no longer qualified. As for next time..."

Thinking of this, IV shook his head and sighed, saying...

"If it's just a duel between duelists, I'd be happy to oblige. I just hope that I don't become his real enemy."

Upon hearing IV's sentiments, Soreva fell silent.

After all, in his limited memory of sharks, in the edited video where the shark turned into that purple-suited monster, one of his opponents...

It's probably, it seems, maybe, possibly... that's IV?

We can only hope that fate won't play such a cruel joke on us.

With a sigh, Soreva immediately mounted IV and headed towards the exit of the arena.

"Alright, we've stayed here long enough. As a 'former' staff member, it's time for me to see you off."

"Oh? You've all witnessed my defeat at the hands of the shark, don't you want to witness the duel between the mares?"

Upon hearing IV's suggestion, Soreva shook his head:

"No thanks, their car is going so fast, I might not be able to keep up. I'll wait and watch the video. Besides..."

With a slight smile, Soreva then added,

"Just as you believe that Yuma can say goodbye to Shark at the WDC, I also believe that Yuma can continue to win."

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

As for Yuma himself, on whom Soleva has placed high hopes, let's switch channels and see how things are going.

"Damn it, are people already dueling in both the forest arena and the space arena? Then there's only one choice left!"

Looking at the only duel arena on the screen that was still empty, Yuma immediately made his choice, forcefully twisting the joystick in his hand.

"Heading to the 'Dangerous Canyon' area! I have to make it! Soar into the sky, me!"

Seeing Yuma running around aimlessly again, Kotori and the others quickly spoke up to remind him:

"Watch out, Yuma! Don't run into another trap card! Your LP can't withstand many more trap card reductions right now!"

"Don't worry, this time it's definitely not going to happen again!?"

Hearing Yuma's desperate cry, the two turned to look at the front of the roller coaster. Sure enough, there was another card there. It seemed that Yuma was about to run into another trap card.

Just as the two were sighing for Yuma's misfortune, the card flipped over, revealing not a trap card symbolizing punishment, but a green card.

"This is... a magic card [Dean Kate, the God of Healing]?"

As for the effect of this card... watching the green-haired nun holding the golden cross of [Monster Resurrection] pass through Yuma and restore 1000 LP to him, both Kotori and Tetsuo fell silent.

Is this really just Yuma's incredible luck?

As for Yuma himself, he only realized what was happening after he hadn't felt any pain:

"Huh? I'm alright? Was this not a trap card?"

Upon seeing that he had regained 1000 LP, Yuma was moved to tears.

"Great! At least it's not a trap card that deducts LP! I can finally have a chance to recover my LP! Nobody keeps running into trap cards!"

However, in the rest of the journey, Yuma did not encounter any more trap cards that deducted his LP, nor did he encounter any more [Dean Kate] cards that could restore his LP.

And so, without incident, Yuma arrived at the dangerous canyon. However, upon arrival, Yuma discovered another serious problem:

"It seems... I have no opponents! Then who should I duel with!"

But just as Yuma was fretting about this, a voice rang out from behind him:

"Hey, looks like I'm in luck. After shaking off that little girl, I actually ran into you, Yuma Tsukumo!"

"Ah, it's the uncle's colleague!"

Seeing Ghosh catch up with him again, Yuma's face lit up with surprise. After all, with Ghosh around, he didn't need to worry about his opponent anymore.
