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

After making a sarcastic remark to Dr. Fica, Soreva grinned coldly and asked Dr. Fica,

"Furthermore, Dr. Fika, while your idea is wonderful, haven't you forgotten something?"

After a slight pause, Soreva spoke, word by word:

"Don't forget, Yang Dou is still in our hands. Without Yang Dou's power, your spherical field cannon cannot destroy the Starlight Boundary!"

Your ambitions will ultimately be unattainable!

"Hmph, do you think I wouldn't think of something this simple?"

With a cold snort from Dr. Fica, a gray energy began to rise from Soleva's body, and he proudly showed it off to the two of them.

"Look, this is the power that Lord Balian bestowed upon me to ensure the smooth running of the plan! Now, Yang Dou is no longer needed. As long as I replace Yang Dou, the spherical field cannon can still destroy the Starry Sky! Your efforts to rescue Yang Dou have been in vain!"

and……"

A sinister chuckle spread across his face, and Dr. Fika continued, with a sly grin:

"I also want to thank you for helping me find a projectile that can make the [Spherical Field Cannon] even more powerful! At that time, not only the Starry Sky Realm, but even those of you who get close to it will probably be blasted away in an instant, right?"

Now, it's time to show you who this shell really is!

Then, Soleva and Kaito saw Dr. Fica snap his fingers, and the seemingly empty yellow energy ball flashed a dazzling blue light.

As the light gradually dimmed, Soleva and Kaito saw the person appearing in the energy ball and exclaimed his name in unison:

"Yuma!?"

The WDC finals, featuring 465 articles, have begun; a brand new spherical court is available?

However, Yuma Ken's appearance at this moment was completely different from his original one. Most of his hair had turned into golden hair, and the crimson armor on his body indicated that Yuma had entered the ZEXAL state.

Fortunately, both Soleva and Kaito had seen Yuma in this state before, which is why they recognized him immediately.

However, Yuma, who was now inside the energy sphere, was completely bewildered. If he remembered correctly, he should have just been in the WDC finals, having just fought the final battle against the shark.

As for what happened to Yuma, let's turn back time a little.

Right after Yuma and Anna's duel ended, the audience was treated to a duel between Shark and his opponent, which Yuma also watched from the sidelines.

However, the duel seemed to happen faster than anyone expected.

"Oh my! What a wonderful duel! In just the second round after taking the initiative, Ryoga Kamishiro utterly defeated his opponent and won a swift victory!"

"No wonder he once reached the finals of the Asian Youth Duel Tournament! Now, returning as the Avenger, he undoubtedly possesses even greater strength than before!"

Shark's face remained expressionless in the face of Mr. Kokoro's series of praises. He simply walked to the edge of the circular dueling arena that was now suspended next to the tower, and after a few glances, he found Yuma on the ground, looking up at the duel.

Then, Shark immediately issued a challenge to Yuma, his opponent in the finals:

"Yuma! The upcoming final is our duel! This time, I will definitely defeat you and win!"

With that, as the dueling arena descended back to the ground, the shark walked into the exit tunnel for the contestants without looking back and disappeared from Yuma's sight.

"shark……"

Yuma, who was still unaware of the shark's condition, could only mutter the shark's name, frown, and walk towards the exit of his team.

Now, before the final showdown begins, he plans to spend some time in his lounge thinking about what tactics he should use to defeat the shark, to awaken its inner strength, and to free it from the control of [No.].

However, when Yuma returned to his lounge, he encountered several uninvited guests:

"Tetsuo, Kotori, and everyone else? What are you all doing here?"

Upon seeing Yuma return, the two, along with everyone from the [No.] club, rushed forward to greet him, and Tetsuo immediately offered a word of encouragement:

"Yuma, next up is your final battle with the shark, right? You absolutely mustn't lose! This shark is acting very strangely right now. During the duel just now, it felt to me like he had turned back into the shark we first knew."

"Yes, I understand what you mean, Iron Man."

Yuma, who shared the same sentiment, immediately nodded emphatically and said...

"I will do everything in my power to win this duel, free the shark from [No.]'s control, and make him his true self again!"

"Well then, go for it, Yuma! You absolutely have to win!"

As the class monitor, Riki, extended his hand first, Tetsuo, Tokunosuke, Neko, and Kotori followed suit, placing their palms together.

Finally, everyone's attention turned to the most important protagonist of the day, Yuma.

Yuma immediately understood and extended his palm, covering the palms of the others:

"Ah! It's a promise, I'll definitely win!"

"Oh!"

Encouraged by his companions, Yuma, full of fighting spirit, stepped into the entrance passage. Just then, a call came from behind him.

"Roaming Horse!"

As Youma turned around, he saw Xiaoniao, her face flushed, running up to him and handing him a rather substantial package.

"This is……"

The familiar feel instantly told Yuma what was inside the package, and a smile immediately appeared on his face as he held it up to the little bird.

"Oh, it's a Duel Rice Ball. Thank you, Kotori."

"Yes, after eating this, you must win the championship!"

Seeing the little bird's expectant look, Yuma immediately smiled and replied:

"Of course! Whether it's winning the duel or saving the shark, I will never give up! Little bird, just watch my duel from now on!"

Having said that, Yuma took the rice ball that the little bird had prepared for him and walked towards the direction where the sunlight was streaming in.

As the little bird watched Yuma depart, it clasped its hands together in front of its chest and sincerely prayed for him:

"We absolutely, absolutely have to win, Yuma."

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

There is only one sun in the sky, and only one shining glory...

As Mr. Kokoro recited his lines on the big screen, Yuma and Shark entered together and stood on the dueling arena, bathed in the sunlight and radiating the glory of victory.

With just a glance, the two could see the fighting spirit in each other's eyes, and there was no need for further words.

"...A duel of the century! Its stage is a spherical field, created using all of Heart Garden's top technologies!"

As Mr. Xinyuan's voice rang out, several radiating instruments began to slowly rise around the dueling arena. As yellow light emanated from these instruments and converged, a yellow energy sphere was born.

"What on earth is this?"

As Yuma's finger curiously touched the yellow energy ball, his body was instantly absorbed into it. The astral body that had entered the spherical arena with Yuma also sensed something was wrong.

"This arena is very similar to the energy shield we used during our last battle with the throne. They both seem to have a special energy field. It seems that with this energy field in place, Yuma and I can enter ZEXAL state more easily."

While the astral body was talking to itself, Yuma was having a great time in this space that seemed to have lost its gravity.

So much so that when the shark entered the spherical arena, its head collided with the horse's instantly.

"What are you doing, you idiot Yuma?"

Upon hearing the shark's complaint, Yuma's face instantly broke into a silly grin. After all, he couldn't detect a trace of the shark's amplified malice in its complaint.

It was as if the shark was not being controlled by [No.] at this moment.

"Great, Shark, have you finally broken free from the control of [No.] card?"

Upon hearing Yuma's question, the shark immediately curled its lip in disdain:

"Hmph! Who do you take me for? Do you think I'd be so easily controlled by [No.]'s hatred? Of course I'm fine now!"

"Great, Shark! In that case, let's put on the most exciting duel for this WDC final!"

As Rakuten said this, Yuma immediately took out the D-Panel and D-Vision and equipped himself, completely unaware that the symbol "32" flashed across the shark's eyes:

"Hmph! The most exciting duel, huh? Then let's have one, Yuma!"

"Duel!" ×2

#466 Random and Inevitable Articles No. 5

"Wait! Contestants, please don't start dueling on your own! I haven't introduced the new dueling rules for the spherical arena yet!"

Just as Yuma and Shark were about to reach for the deck, Mr. Kokoro's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting them. Only then did the two belatedly realize that there was indeed such a thing, and they awkwardly lowered their hands.

Seeing that the two had successfully stopped their dueling after his persuasion, Mr. Xinyuan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately cleared his throat, saying:

"Now, I will explain the special duel rules for the spherical arena!"

As Mr. Xinyuan waved his cane, a series of images that the audience couldn't understand instantly appeared on the screens in front of them. They could only listen blankly as Mr. Xinyuan explained.

"This field was created to maximize the power of [Number]! Both players can stack two monsters of the same level from their hand and Special Summon [Number] cards from their Extra Deck, ignoring Summoning conditions!"

However, the [No.] monster summoned in this way will be destroyed when the Xyz Material is used up!

After explaining the rule, Mr. Xinyuan opened his arms and announced:

"Alright, use it as you please! The [No.] card that only the chosen duelists possess! HeartBurning!"

As fireworks exploded all around the audience following Mr. Heartburn's shout of "HeartBurning!", both Yuma and Shark knew that their true duel had begun!

After both players replenished their hands to five cards, Yuma heard the shark's voice ring out after a cold laugh:

“Yuma, if I remember correctly, you should have quite a few [No.] cards, right? Well, this rule is really overwhelmingly disadvantageous for you.”

Upon hearing the shark's conclusion, Yuma's face instantly showed a look of doubt:

"Huh? What do you mean by that, shark?"

"Oh? You don't understand? Then let me demonstrate for you! I've got the first strike! My turn, draw a card!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shark decisively seized the initiative. After drawing the top card from his deck, he immediately picked it up along with another card from his hand and displayed it in front of the player.

"Now, I have two Level 3 [Left-Handed Shark] cards in my hand! So, I'll stack the two Level 3 [Left-Handed Shark] cards in my hand! I'll build a stacking network with two monsters! Xyz Summon!"

As the card fell from the shark's hand, Yuma saw two identical-looking [Left-Handed Sharks] immediately appear on the shark's field.

Then, the two [Left-Handed Sharks] transformed into blue Xyz Material and disappeared into the air, opening the channel for Xyz Summoning.

This scene startled Yuma, causing a strange expression to appear on his face:
