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

At Soreva's voice, the [Dytovan] loosened his clenched fist, and a ball of dark red flame instantly flew back to Soreva's side.

Just then, Soreva's voice rang out again:

"However, you might not get to see this, because you're about to meet the strongest [Hero of Destiny]!"

"The strongest [Destiny Hero]!? Don't make a fool of yourself, my [Destiny Hero] is the strongest!"

Hearing Edward's rebuttal, Soreva simply smiled slightly:

"Then you'll see! I'll activate the effect of [Destiny HERO Demonic Man] in my Graveyard first! Banish this card, and Special Summon one [Destiny HERO Demonic Man] from my Deck!"

With a clap of his hand, the hero, whose massive muscles were enveloped in thick hair, appeared on Soreva's field with a pair of demonic wings.

"Then there's the effect of [Destiny HERO Negator] in the Graveyard! You can only use this once per Duel. If you have any [Destiny HERO] monsters other than this card on your field or in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card!"

Amidst a golden light, a hero dressed in a purple suit, with flamboyant blond hair and four long chains binding his hands, descended beside the [Demon Man].

"Now, activate another effect of [Destiny HERO Negative]! If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can place 1 [Destiny HERO] monster on top of your Deck from your Deck, Graveyard, or banished monsters."

Come back, you excluded [Destiny Hero Demon]!

After doing all this, Soreva tapped the Duel Disk screen with his finger again:

"Finally, here's the effect of the Trap Card [Break Fate] from the Graveyard! Banish this card from the Graveyard, and you can add one Spell/Trap Card other than [Break Fate] that has the name of [Dragon Knight D-End] or [Destiny HERO] written on it to your hand!"

My chosen card is [D-Strength]!

Catch the card that popped out of the Duel Disk, Soreva didn't even need to look at it closely before sending it back into the Duel Disk:

"Then, I activate the Continuous Spell Card [D-Power]! When this card is activated, you can add one [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D] from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand!"

Come on! My [Bloodlord-D] from my deck!

Soleva caught the card from the duel disk again and then revealed it to Edward:

"Ed, witness this ultimate [Destiny HERO]! [Destiny HERO Blood Demon-D] is a monster that can only be Special Summoned by Tributing three monsters on your field!"

Now, I Tribute [Dragon Guardian], [Destiny HERO Demon], and [Destiny HERO Negator] from my field to Special Summon [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D] from my hand!

Witness this! This is the ultimate dark hero who proclaims all destructive fates and brings just annihilation upon all beings! [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D]!

Chapter 162 Blood Demon Spreads Its Wings

When Soreva slammed [Destiny Hero Blood Demon - D] onto his Duel Disk, a crimson light instantly illuminated his arena.

Amidst this crimson light, the bodies of the three monsters—[Destiny Hero Demon], [Destiny Hero Denial], and [Dragon Magic Guardian]—gradually melted, coalescing into a massive pool of blood.

The first thing to emerge from the blood pool was three sharp claws. Then, as the three claws sank back into the blood pool, a pair of tattered demon wings emerged from the blood pool, and the body covered in scarlet blood gradually floated out of the blood pool.

With a flick of its tail, the dragon stretched out its previously curled-up body, revealing the true form of a hero clad in dark red armor covered in dried blood.

With three sharp claws raised high and a pair of tattered demon wings on his back, his face was concealed by a similarly dark red dragon-head helmet.

Its right hand has been mutated into an exaggerated, blood-red maw, and its left hand has incredibly thick claws.

This is [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D].

"Now, I activate the effect of [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D]! Once per turn, target one monster your opponent controls, and equip that monster as an Equip Card to [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D]. Furthermore, [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D] gains ATK equal to half the equipped monster's original ATK!"

Now, seize the [Dystopians] and make them your power, [Blood Demon-D]! [Blood Pact]!

Amidst Soreva's shouts, countless crimson hands instantly emerged from the tattered wings of [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D], grabbing the [Dystopian] on the field and pulling it into the wings of [Blood Demon-D].

As the face of the [Dystopian] appeared on the wings of [Blood Demon-D], [Blood Demon-D]'s attack power instantly rose from 1900 points to 3300 points.

But this is not the end.

"Now, because I have [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D] on my field, the effect of [D-Power] applies! The ATK of [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D] on your field increases by 100 times the number of monsters in both players' Graveyards!"

My graveyard contains four monsters: [Dragon Magic Guardian], [Negative Man], [Demonic Man], and [Destroying Phoenix Man]. Your graveyard contains two monsters: [Dreamer] and [Determined Man]. Therefore, [Blood Demon-D] gains an additional 600 ATK!

As these words were spoken, a hazy white light emanated from the [D-Power] card, enveloping [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] and instantly boosting its attack power to 3900 points.

"Attack! [Blood Demon-D], directly attacking Ed Phoenix! Blood Demon Wings!"

Under Soreva's command, [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] immediately leaped into the air, and countless blood spikes condensed on its wings, shooting towards Edward in front of it.

Faced with the rain of blood-red spikes, Edward did not hesitate and immediately sent the card in his hand to the graveyard:

"I activate the effect of [Destiny HERO Dynamite] in my hand! When a monster battles, discard this card from your hand. The damage I took from that battle becomes 0, and both players take 1000 damage!"

In an instant, a massive, humanoid monster, its body seemingly bound by black strips and shimmering like flames, stood in front of Edward, absorbing all the blood spikes fired by [Blood Demon-D] into its own burning body.

The next second, its body swelled up as if it were about to explode.

Just then, Edward's voice rang out again:

"However, now I can activate the effect of [Destiny HERO Resolver] in my graveyard! When this card is in my graveyard and I am about to take damage from a Spell/Trap or Monster effect, I return this card to my hand, and the damage I take becomes 0!"

Immediately, [Destiny Hero Bomber] exploded, instantly sending Soreva flying backward, and his LP dropped to a mere 600 points.

Ed, protected by the phantom of [Determined One], still had a full 4000 LP.

"Now, your monster has already attacked once and can't attack again. And your LP is practically a candle in the wind. What else do you think you can do?"

Upon hearing Edward's voice again, Soreva immediately laughed:

Good grief, you've already set up your own "candle in the wind" flag. If I don't beat you, wouldn't that be incredibly impolite?

Moreover, at this point, almost all of Edward's methods were out in the open, so Soreva no longer needed to worry about what cards Edward would use to block his attacks.

With that smile, Soreva stood up:

"What a pity, you're the loser. Because of the [D-Power] effect, my [Destiny Hero Blood Demon-D] can launch a second attack!"

[Blood Demon-D], unleash Blood Demon Wings once more!

As Soreva's voice rang out, [Destiny Hero Blood Demon D]'s eyes flashed instantly, and it took flight again, spreading its wings and unleashing Blood Spikes at Edward once more.

This time, Edward truly had no means to stop him.

In fact, he himself, feeling confident of victory, walked straight toward Soreva, so much so that he was completely unprepared for this sudden attack.

As he scrambled and dodged the blood spikes, even his dark green robe was nailed to the ground and forced off, revealing his silver-gray suit-like clothes.

His LP also instantly dropped to just 100 points.

"And so, the round is over... no, I should say, the duel is over."

"What do you mean by that? I still have 100 LP points; I can keep fighting!"

Seeing Edward struggling to his feet, Soreva immediately pointed to the still-open Continuous Spell Card [D-Death Race] at his feet:

"Don't forget, you still have this card here. According to its effect, my [Destiny HERO Blood Demon - D] is a Level 8 monster, and you don't have any monsters on your field right now, so you still have to take this 800 damage."

Only then did Ed remember that he still had this card on the field. Watching the purple light of [D-Death Race] gradually illuminate, Ed slowly closed his eyes:

"I lost."

As a flash of purple light appeared, Edward was blasted away, as if caught in a cycle of cause and effect, but...

When Soreva approached Edward, he discovered that Edward's Duel Disk did not light up with the light symbolizing a seal, and sealed him into a card.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s the commander-in-chief, and all he needs to do is sit in the rear and give advice, and at most deal with some particularly strong opponents, so his duel disk doesn’t have this function.

Otherwise, the countermeasures in Soleva's Duel Disk should have sealed him away.

In Edward's jacket pocket, Soreva seemed to see a magic card. However, after pulling the card out, Soreva discovered that only the top half of the card remained:

"[Smiling World]?"

Seemingly having heard Soreva's mutterings, Ed seemed to have also awakened from his recent unconsciousness, weakly opening his eyes and asking:

"With your immense strength, you could have made great contributions to the invasion of other dimensions by the Fusion Dimension. Why did you choose to become a traitor and help the Superdimensional Dimension?"

Edward's words immediately made Soreva curl his lip:

"Seriously, don't assume I'm from Fusion Dimension just because I use the [Destiny HERO] deck! Haven't you considered that I'm not from Fusion Dimension at all?"

"But similarly, you're not from the Hyperdimensional Dimension, are you? Why don't you join us and instead choose to help them?"

"If you absolutely must get a reasonable reason from me..."

Frustrated by Edward's questioning, Soreva immediately pulled out a [Destiny HERO Demon] from his deck, grabbed Edward by the collar, and displayed it in front of him.

"Look closely! They are [heroes]! Even [heroes of destiny] who bear darkness and suffering are still heroes! True heroes never fight for invasion! Their power has always existed to protect beauty and justice!"

Can't you hear the cries of those [heroes] in your deck?!

"Hey! Commander-in-Chief spotted! The Commander-in-Chief is there, and the enemy is there too!"

Upon hearing the sound, Soreva looked around and realized that soldiers from the fused dimensions were rushing towards them in armored vehicles from both sides of the intersection where he and Edward were dueling.

This was not something Soleva could fight alone, so Soleva immediately abandoned Edward, put on his cloak, and ran towards the doorway where the Xyz Dimension members had left.

"Commander-in-Chief, are you alright? Should we go after that enemy?"

Supported to his feet by the soldiers from the merged dimension, Edward glanced in the direction Soreva had fled, then immediately turned back and said:

"It's too late to chase after them now! Besides, you might not be a match for that person. Let's go back first."

"Yes!"

Sitting in the armored vehicle returning to base, Edward recalled what Soreva had just told him:

Are my heroes crying?

However, Edward probably didn't know that while his heart was being stirred by Soreva's words, Soreva, who had already fled into the mountains, leaned against a large tree, looked back at where no one was chasing him, and grinned as he sighed:

"Showing off and then running away, that's the thrill!"

Chapter 163 What Both Sides Saw

"Kaito, Hayabusa, we've been here for so long, why hasn't Mr. Sorewa arrived yet? Could something have happened to him too?"

Hearing Sayaka Sasayama's renewed concern, Kaito and Hayabusa couldn't help but roll their eyes. After all, they had already heard Sayaka Sasayama say the same thing five minutes ago.

Now, only ten minutes have passed since they arrived at the Duel Temple and settled everything.

“Sayaka, calm down. Mr. Soleva is a very strong duelist, he should be fine. Besides, Yuto and Mitsutsu Masumi have gone back to meet Mr. Soleva, so let’s just wait here patiently.”

That being said, perhaps because Sayaka had been nagging him so much, Hayabusa also felt a growing sense of worry.

"Let's wait a little longer, ten... no, fifteen minutes. If they don't come back by then, I'll go find them."
