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

"Why go to the Synchro Dimension first? Shouldn't we go to the Hyperion Dimension to support them, or infiltrate the Fusion Dimension to gather information?"

"Of course I have my own considerations."

Immediately following the questioning voice, the two heard Akaba Reiji's voice rang out.

"Based on the information you provided, I believe that the strength of the Hyperdimensional Resistance Organization is sufficient to contend with the Obelisk Force of the Fusion Dimension."

Moreover, the Fusion Dimension has grand ambitions; they have already taken action against the Hyper Dimension and our Elementary Dimension, and I believe they also have designs on the Synchro Dimension.

Compared to dangerous missions like supporting the Xyz Dimension and infiltrating the Fusion Dimension, the duelists we've selected, while possessing some skill, are still far too inexperienced. It would be better for them to hone their abilities in the seemingly more peaceful Synchro Dimension, which would also be more suitable for developing their strength.

Hearing Reiji Akaba's words, Soreva couldn't help but sigh. He had to admit that there was some truth to what Reiji Akaba said. But...

"Ling'er, you need to know that some of the people on my side have special reasons. Their important people have been captured by the Fusion Dimension, and they are eager to take action against the Fusion Dimension."

Looking at Yuto, Hayabusa, and the others around Soreva, who seemed to be standing by him because of his words, Akaba Reiji couldn't help but nod.

After all, he is recruiting talent, and he should indeed take their wishes into account.

However, he finally noticed the late-arriving Sakura Yu and Katsumi, and...

"It's alright. The countermeasures you mentioned earlier will take several more days to complete, and we can't possibly set off in such a rush. We have several more days to discuss the arrangements."

Now that everyone's here, I should say a few words.

Chapter 139 Departure, Split Up

"First of all, congratulations on successfully repelling the invaders of [the Academy], proving that you are all excellent duelists capable of protecting our fundamental dimension. Therefore, I sincerely extend an invitation to you all."

With that, Akama Reiji stood up from his seat, raised his hands, and announced to the crowd present,

"Welcome to the [Lancer Legion], which I created to protect our fundamental dimension. From this day forward, we will become the spears that protect this world!"

Instantly, a commotion erupted in the office.

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

"So, you should all have made your choices by now, right? If you want to follow Reiji Akaba to the Synchro Dimension and recruit Synchro Dimension members, then please stand on his side; if you want to come with me to the Xyz Dimension and support the battle between the Xyz Dimension and the Fusion Dimension, then please stand on my side."

At this time, several days had passed since Akama Reiji officially formed the [Lancer Regiment]. Now, almost everyone in the Lancer Regiment, and even everyone else in this world, knew what was going to happen.

After all, Lion Corporation had already spread the video of the Obelisk Force's invasion during the previous chaotic phase, in which people were sealed in cards through duels.

With the endorsement of Lion Corporation and Reiji Akaba himself, virtually no one would doubt the authenticity of these videos.

As a result, almost everyone knew what kind of crisis this fundamental dimension was about to face.

In the course of these few days, Soreva and Akaba Reiji also came up with a battle plan that they could both accept.

That means splitting into two groups. One group will go to the Hyperdimensional Dimension to directly participate in the stalemate between the Hyperdimensional Dimension and the Fusion Dimension, with the goal of breaking the balance of power between the Hyperdimensional Dimension and the Fusion Dimension and helping the Hyperdimensional Dimension defeat the Fusion Dimension as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, the other group heading to the Synchro Dimension is responsible for not only stopping the Fusion Dimension's plot against the Synchro Dimension, but also recruiting duelists from the Synchro Dimension who can become their allies and fight alongside them against the Fusion Dimension.

The former team was led by Soreva, while the latter team was led by Akaba Reiji.

Soon, the two teams finalized their arrangements.

Accompanying Soreva to the Xyz Dimension were Yuto and Hayabusa, two old friends from the Xyz Dimension, as well as LDS students Dennis McField, Hokuto Shijima, and Yu Sakuragi, who also used Xyz Summoning, and Masumi Mitsutsu and Katsura Rin, who used Fusion Summoning.

Many more people followed Reiji Akaba to the Synchro Dimension, including Yuya Sakaki, Yuzu Hiiragi, and Noboru Kongensaka. Even Yugo, Serena, and Sora chose to go to the Synchro Dimension.

In addition, there are two brothers dressed as ninjas, named Hikawa and Tsukikage, and Sawatari, whom Soreva had met before and who has an inextricable connection with Sakaki Yuya, who also chose to go to the Synchro Dimension.

However, among these people, Yu Wu is the most special.

After all, he initially chose to go to the Xyz Dimension with Soleva, but was forcibly taken there by Reiji Akaba.

"Why does it have to be me! I'm going to the Hyperdimension to teach those bastards from the Fusion Dimension a lesson! Then I'll fight my way to the Fusion Dimension and rescue Rin!"

Faced with Yugo's rejection, Akaba Reiji calmly adjusted his glasses and said:

"Because we need someone who is very knowledgeable about the Synchro Dimension to guide us, so that we don't get put on the defensive in the Synchro Dimension. You are the only one among us who has some knowledge of the Synchro Dimension, so we need your help."

Yugo had no way to refute this, and could only obediently let Akaba Reiji grab him.

"Alright, now that the teams are divided, everyone come and collect your special cards."

At Soleva's call, everyone received a small card. Looking at the card in his hand, Dennis, among his teammates who had traveled with Soleva to the Hyperdimension, raised his hand and asked:

"Mr. Soreva, what exactly is the purpose of this card?"

"Good question."

Soreva nodded to the boy with the bright orange-red wavy hair who had asked the question, and began to explain.

"Last time, when we fought against those duelists from the Fusion Dimension who called themselves the Obelisk Force, I'm sure you all saw their Duel Disks, which could seal people in cards and teleport their losers away in time, right?"

This card is a counter-programming feature that Lion Corporation has created to counter their Duel Disks. Once you load this card into your Duel Disks, this counter-programming feature will activate when you duel against Duelists from the Fusion Dimension.

Upon hearing Soleva's words, everyone present who had been troubled by the Dimensional Fusion's functions had their eyes light up and immediately put the card into their Duel Disks.

"But just how far can this program actually go?"

Dennis, however, seemed dissatisfied with Soreva's somewhat simplistic explanation and pressed for details.

When Soreva heard his question, he gave him a deep look before slowly saying:

"The effect is also very simple. After the duel begins, this program will automatically search for other duel disks participating in the duel. After detecting the sealing program and the teleportation program, if the owner of that duel disk has zero LP, this counter-program will activate the sealing program to seal the owner of that duel disk."

Now everyone present finally understood the significance of this procedure. It meant that if they encountered someone from a dimensional fusion who wanted to seal them in cards, they could seal the other person in return if they won the duel.

Even Dennis stopped asking questions and just stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"Alright, now that the preparations are complete, Ling'er, shall we set off?"

Reiji Akaba shook his head at Soreva's suggestion:

"No, there's one more person joining our rifleman regiment for this operation. Come on over."

"Yes."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Soreva's face instantly darkened. Seeing Reiji, dressed in a skirt, walk into the room, Soreva turned his sour face towards Akaba Reiji:

"Ling'er! Lingluo is just a child! She shouldn't be involved!"

Even within both teams, many people questioned Reiji Akaba's decision:

"Let such a small child join us? That's absurd!"

"Exactly! We're going to fight against people from merged dimensions, not play house with kids!"

Seeing that people were starting to argue, Akama Reiji quickly called out "Quiet!" to restore order, and then continued speaking.

"If any of you have doubts about Zero's strength, then I can tell you with absolute certainty that, in terms of dueling prowess alone, Zero is by no means weaker than any of you present. Moreover..."

His gaze shifted to Soreva, and as if explaining something specifically to her, Akaba Reiji spoke again:

"Furthermore, although I don't know why my father chose to adopt Zero, my intuition tells me that Zero is necessary. When facing my father, the true ruler of the [Academy], Akaba Zero, she might play an unexpected role."

"..."

After a brief silence, Soreva sighed.

“If what you say is true, I don’t mind bringing Zero with me. But… let Zero come with you to the Synchronization Dimension; it will be safer for her.”

"This isn't something I can decide. Shouldn't Zero be allowed to make the choice?"

As he spoke, Akama Reiji turned his gaze to Reiro, and Soleva saw that Reiro had come to his side after a short run.

There's really nothing we can do about it.

Seeing Soleva take Zero's hand, Reiji Akaba smiled slightly and finally regained command of the [Lancer Regiment].

"Alright everyone, everyone is here now. Please open the new teleportation program that appears on your Duel Disk, select your destination, and you can set off."

"Beep" "Beep"...

Strange sounds rang out one after another, and the figures in the office turned into pale blue specks of light and disappeared into the world.

Chapter 140 First Arrival at the Heart Garden

"Is this the [Heart Garden] of the Hyperdimension, your hometown?"

Looking at the dilapidated walls covered in smoke and dust, Soleva reached out and touched a broken section of the wall, asking his companions Yuto and Hayabusa a question.

Returning to their hometown and seeing this familiar, dilapidated scene, a look of sorrow appeared in their eyes:

"Yes, our hometown. This place shouldn't be like this..."

However, having experienced the invasion of the fused dimension, the two quickly composed themselves and made a suggestion to Soreva.

“Mr. Soreva, the two of us will go find the resistance first. After we've persuaded them, we'll come and meet up with you. Because of some things, the resistance members might not trust duelists from other dimensions…”

Seeing the hesitation in their expressions, Soreva knew that there might be a story behind their unfinished words. He nodded immediately, raised the Duel Disk in his hand, and said to the two of them:

"It's alright, you guys go ahead. Anyway, the Duel Disk is now set up with the communication function, so we'll contact you immediately if anything happens on our end."

"Yes! Mr. Soleva, please be careful as well. Those invaders from the fused dimension are probably still hunting on the land of [Heart Garden]."

Hayabusa and Yuto raised their hands to signal to Soreva, then put on their long-unused goggles and masks and headed towards the ruins of what should have been a landmark building of [Heart Garden].

After watching the two leave, Soreva turned to the people around him and said:

"Alright, let's go. After all, there's still someone missing, and we need to go find him, right?"

Soreva's words drew nods from the remaining people around him, including the most militant of them all.

"Speaking of which, our teleportation coordinates were all set by Lion Corporation. Everyone else is here, so why is that guy named Dennis missing?"

Unexpectedly, he was the first to discover the blind spot this time, which shows his meticulousness.

"Who knows what will happen? But we should all be careful, both when exploring this dimension and when dealing with that Dennis."

Soreva's words were so pointed that everyone understood his meaning in silence:

Although there is currently no evidence to prove that Dennis has any problems, there is definitely something wrong with Dennis.

"Now that everyone understands, let's set off."

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

As they traveled and explored, a sense of disappointment filled the faces of everyone in Soreva's group, except for Zero, who was still unaware of much.
