Chapter 334

Immediately, the four Crystal Beasts in the front field transformed into four beams of light of different colors, which flowed into the corresponding gems on the Rainbow Dragon, absorbing the power of the Crystal Beasts.

"Useless..." Yubel said disdainfully, "Ammitel can deal 10,000 points of combat damage to Rainbow Dragon. In terms of attack power, mine is still higher."

"It's not over yet!"

"What?"

Chapter 238 A Temporary Return to Reality

John flicked his wrist, and the face-down card at his feet opened. "Activate the Trap Card [Crystal Blessing]!"

Special Summon up to two [Crystal Beasts] monsters that you can place in the Spell & Trap Zone. You gain Life Points equal to the combined Life Points of those monsters!

"Wake up, Cobalt-Spined Eagle, Amethyst Cat!"

In an instant, the two gems besides the emerald at his feet exploded, and the eagle and cat adorned with gems fell to the ground.

[Crystal Beasts Cobalt-Spined Eagle: Attack Power 1400]

[Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat: Attack Power 1200]

[John Anderson: LP4000→6600]

Yubel: "Summoned two more Crystal Beasts? Could it be...?"

"Just as you suspected!" John continued, "The Rainbow Dragon's effect has no limit on the number of times it can be activated, so it absorbed the Cobalt-Spined Eagle and the Amethyst Cat as well."

The two Crystal Beasts also transformed into two beams of light, which flowed into the other two gems on the Rainbow Dragon's body.

"Rainbow Overload!"

Roar--!!

The rainbow dragon roared, unleashing a power no less than that of Ammitel.

[Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer Rainbow Dragon: Attack Power 8000 → 10000]

Upon Yubel was shocked. "What? Its attack power is comparable to Ammitel's?"

"However, Ammitel cannot be destroyed in battle; the only monster that can be eliminated is Rainbow Dragon!"

"It's alright! I've already achieved my goal!" John said nonchalantly.

This made Judai realize John's true intentions. "John, could it be that you...?"

"I'm sorry, Judai," John said frankly. "When I obtained the Rainbow Dragon, I already knew that it could definitely save everyone. As long as its power was awakened, the Rainbow Bridge could be built and the connecting passage opened."

"Judai, I want to save everyone through a duel. This is my dream, and now is the time to make it happen. I'm counting on you after that!"

"￠∵SI ( [§[si(≯turnqUUN: John!"

He then looked at his enemy and said, "Unfortunately, this duel must be temporarily suspended. The outcome of the duel is no longer important!"

"Go, Rainbow Dragon, surpass the rainbow!"

Under John's command, the Rainbow Dragon opened its mouth wide, and seven-colored energy gathered in its mouth, which then transformed into rainbow-colored dragon breath and shot out in the next second.

Boom--!!!

The two forces clashed instantly, unleashing an even stronger energy that shook the entire earth.

Then this power spread out, transforming into a pillar of light that shot into the sky, and as the pillar of light expanded, it engulfed the entire Duel Academy.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!"

Yubel's unwilling voice, everyone, including the entire Duel Academy, vanished from this world.

On the other side, on the island of the Duel Academy.

Roar--!!

While a large group of researchers were still busy with their studies, accompanied by the roar of a dragon, a beam of light that had broken through the wall descended from the sky. After only a moment, the light disappeared, and the Duel Academy building finally returned to reality.

"Is everyone alright?"

Just like before, Judai travels between the two worlds in a conscious state.

The others gradually woke up as well.

Jim: "The sky is so blue, could it be...?"

Misawa: "It seems we're back."

"Huh?" Asuka then noticed that the Death Bracelet on her wrist had suddenly shattered and turned into a puddle of sand.

It seems that it can no longer be used after losing contact with Yubel.

"By the way, isn't someone missing?"

Judai looked around in confusion. "John is gone. Where did he go?"

The others could only see the staff gathering around them, but they couldn't see John anywhere.

O'Brien had a guess in his mind: 'Could he still be in the Otherworld?'

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up.

"I'm going to find him right away!"

O'Brien searched the area around the Duel Academy but couldn't find John anywhere, and Amon had also disappeared.

After the news was told to everyone, their mood became somewhat heavy.

"As expected, John sacrificed himself to send everyone back to the Real World, facing Yubel alone. As for Amon, he helped Yubel stop me before, so he probably stayed in the Spirit World voluntarily as well."

Listening to Judai's speculation, Manjoume asked, "So, what exactly is this monster named Yubel? And what is your relationship with him?"

Judai didn't intend to hide it, "It's the most treasured card my parents bought for me when I was a child."

"One day later, after I fought with the older brother of one of my former neighbors, he contracted a strange illness and suddenly collapsed."

How could that be?

"Isn't this just a coincidence?"

Judai shook his head and continued, "But whenever I put Yubel in my deck, my opponent always became unlucky, so that's when I realized there was something wrong with Yubel."

"But I was young then and didn't think that much about it. I thought she could turn over a new leaf. At that time, the Kaiba Corporation was collecting cards, a plan to obtain energy from cosmic fluctuations to create new cards."

"After listening to my parents' advice, I sent that card along with the original artwork of Neo-HERO to Kaiba Corporation, hoping that the universe could grant her the power of justice."

"You all know what happened next..." Judai pulled a card from his pocket; it was the card from Neo-HERO.

"The Neo-HERO, who stand in opposition to the Light of Destruction, are born. As the force of justice, Neo-HERO are the enemy of Yubel hates me for leaving her to wander alone in the universe."

Asuka held Judai's hand and comforted her, "This isn't your fault, Judai."

"Yes, I know." Judai nodded, not blaming himself for it. "In the final moments, I sensed a faint aura of the Light of Destruction on Yubel. I'm afraid she was affected by the Light of Destruction in the universe, and coupled with years of loneliness, that's why she developed such a paranoid personality."

"So you plan to do this?"

Judai replied with a determined look in his eyes, "I plan to go to the Spirit World alone again to settle things with Yubel and bring John back. And if possible, I'd also like to save Yubel as well."

Asuka sternly objected, "No! I can't let you go to such a dangerous place alone. I'm going with you!"

Misawa chimed in, "That's right, aren't we companions? How can we let you face this alone?"

Jim: "Me too! John is my friend too, I can't just stand by and do nothing about it."

O'Brien: "After all, we're comrades-in-arms fighting together in another world."

"Everyone..."

Judai was deeply moved by everyone's support.

These people before him, and John, who is far away in another world, will be his best friends for the rest of his life.

"Thank you all. This time I will definitely bring everyone home safely!"

Chapter 239 Crossing the Unknown World Again

At night, the group carried their backpacks and arrived at the ruins of the Wang family tomb.

Misawa: "Based on Dr. Frankenstein's and my analysis, this place will become a connecting transfer point due to the effects of the previous transfer."

Is that the one?

Judai pointed to a faint pillar of light on the ruins ahead and said.

"This should be the place."

Misawa glanced at the map and said there was no problem.

"However, such a passage is very unstable. If we rush in now, we don't know where we'll end up."

O'Brien stepped forward and asked, "Is there any solution, Misawa?"

"Ah, yes..." Misawa picked up the device and tapped it a few times. "If my calculations are correct, we can use the power of the card spirits to open a passage. This area is filled with duel energy, so the spirits should be able to materialize here."

"If we concentrate the power of the spirits to attack the transfer point, it might be possible to temporarily open the gate. Although it might not be able to send the entire academy away like Rainbow Dragon did, it would be more than enough to send the rest of us to that world."

"That shouldn't be delayed!"

Everyone took out a card from their deck together.

"Come on, Neo-HERO!"

"The Herald of the Divine Light!"

"Paleozoic Fossil Dyna King!"

"Volcanic Doomfire!"

"Water dragon!"

The group shouted out the names of their respective ace monsters, which materialized one by one. Together, they controlled the monsters to unleash their maximum attack on the gate.

Boom--!!

Although the wall was somewhat stubborn, Judai's power was strong enough that he managed to break through most of it on his own.

The next moment, a blinding beam of light descended from the sky and landed on the transfer point.

"It's open!"

"It's a success!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the passageway reopened.

Judai warned, "Everyone, don't let your guard down! Our battle has only just begun. Nobody knows what the situation will be like in the other world!"

"Yes, of course."

"The Judai is indeed reliable."

"He's starting to act more and more like a leader."

"Now it's up to you, Judai."

As the group spoke, the pillar of light suddenly expanded, encompassing the surrounding area and instantly engulfing them. Several uninvited guests hiding on the outside were also teleported away and disappeared from this world once again.

Where is this place?

Judai rubbed his head, still dazed from traversing the rift, and then looked around at the endless, lifeless, and lightless world that was even more desolate than the desert he had been in before.

As time passed, everyone woke up one by one, frowning as they looked around. Everywhere they looked, there were stone mountains riddled with holes, as if they had fallen into a demon's lair.

"This... this actually happened?" Misawa stared at the scene before him in disbelief.

"Is this the alien I visited at the Duel Academy?"

"No, it looks completely different."

"Is there some other factor, such as spatial skew? No, I need to recalculate it..."

Without hesitation, Misawa squatted down and began to write and draw on the ground.

Judai and the others couldn't understand the formulas he had written, so they could only stand there and wait, while observing their surroundings and keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Fifteen minutes later, the ground was covered with densely packed formulas.

"Why? The calculation formulas are all correct, but something's always missing..."
