Chapter 405

At the same time, the little girl Ryuusei seemed to sense something and glanced at the silent extra, the muscular guy.

"Did you notice, little girl?" The last Dark Signer sneered, suddenly holding up a seven-star white card.

Ryuusei: "Ah, that's...!?"

The reason was simply because the card depicted a slender, fairy-like female dragon, exactly like the dragon in Ryuusei's memory.

"This card rightfully belongs to you. If you wish to reclaim it, challenge me. I will not run away nor hide... My name is Dimark, the Dark Signer who possesses the Mark of Cusillu."

As the man spoke, he revealed the Monkey's Mark on his right arm.

Then Rudger spoke again, "The stage for your battle is ready. Head to your respective Destiny Land and settle your scores there."

What does that mean!?

Before Rudger and the others could reply, the surrounding fog suddenly became extremely thick, and the Dark Signer turned around at that moment.

"Wait! You haven't answered my question yet!"

Just as Yusei was about to give chase, the fog completely obscured their figures, and they disappeared without a trace. Seeing this, he had no choice but to give up.

So where exactly is the Destiny Land? I hate riddle-makers!

Chapter Sixty-Six: Splitting Up; Goodbye to 'Kiryu'

"The constellations mentioned by the Dark Signer are probably the four devices that manage the Old MOMENT."

"Control device?"

After the Dark Signer left, Shade told everyone what she knew, "Before the Old MOMENT went out of control, the seals on these places were broken. These control devices have four codenames: Ccapac Ccarayhua, Ccarayhua, Aslla Piscu, and Cusillu, which mean giant, lizard, Cusillu, and monkey in Quechua."

"So they correspond to the four Earthbound God respectively..." Yusei said thoughtfully, "But what about the remaining Earthbound God?"

Ryuusei: "Oh right, what about the spiders we've seen before?"

Shade explained, "The spider refers to the Old MOMENT's code name, Uru. In order to seal the Old MOMENT, its control device must be activated."

Qiu: "That man named Rudger just now seems to be the leader of the Dark Signer. I'm afraid the card he was holding is Uru."

Jack seemed to have made a connection to something and suddenly interjected, "Wait a minute, what about the extra Placido besides these five Earthbound God?"

In response to his question, Shade offered a guess. "According to the records, in addition to the five Earthbound God mentioned above, the Nazca Lines also have a geoglyph called Challhua, which means 'fish'."

Yusei suddenly added subconsciously, "It should be ChacuChallhua..."

"'The Hunting Fish'...?" Shade nodded and said, "Although I don't know how you know this name, I guess that Earthbound God held by Placido is a fish."

Jack: "Originally, we needed to defeat the Dark Signer guarding the four control devices first, but the lizards and hummingbirds have already been dealt with. This leaves two positions vacant, and I'm afraid Placido will take over guarding one of them."

Qiu chimed in, "Then we'll need two people to confirm these two places separately. I need to go to the lizard's place."

Ushio chimed in, "Should we split up?"

Yusei nodded. "Yes, time waits for no one... and I must bring Kiryu back as soon as possible, so I need to go to the location of the Titans."

Next up were the twins...

Ryuusei: "The monkey is Dimark, so I need to go there to retrieve the [Ancient Fairy Dragon]."

Ryuuga: "I'll protect Ryuusei!"

The last hummingbird was Jack's.

After defeating their respective opponents, they headed straight to the location of the Old MOMENT to deal with Rudger, the final opponent.

Yusei: "Even if we're separated, we're still connected by a strong bond. We must all win, and then we'll meet again in the Old MOMENT!"

Once everyone had decided on their next steps, they split up and headed to the locations of the control devices in the four directions.

On his way to where Kiryu was, Yusei suddenly saw a pillar of light rising in the distance.

That's the direction of the twins and the Ushio. Something must have happened to Ryuusei... But it doesn't matter. Ryuuga, who's there, will protect Ryuusei. Thanks to Yusei's previous training, Ryuuga already has the ability to face the Dark Signer directly.

Yusei knew that the Red Dragon intended for Ryuuga to become a Dragon Signer, so he believed that the Red Dragon would protect him at crucial moments. Although the battle with the Dark Signer was dangerous, it was also a test for Ryuuga.

Despite his worries, Yusei turned the handle of the D-Wheel without looking back and continued towards his destination.

After driving for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw a tower standing atop the ruins not far away, and below it was a figure riding D-Wheel; that person was none other than 'Kiryu'.

As soon as 'Kiryu' saw Yusei stop in front of him, he burst into laughter, speaking in a non-human voice, "Hahahaha~! You've finally come! I've been waiting for you for so long, Dragon Seal Holder, Yusei Fudo!!"

Yusei understood that the person before him was still Earthbound God). "KISAMA! How long are you going to keep possessing Kiryu's body?"

"Hmph, of course I can keep it as long as I want, after all, it was a wish he made to me before he died."

"Desire?!"

"That's right, it's about taking revenge on you, Yusei! I will be the one to deliver the final showdown for Satisfaction Squad!"

"The final duel..." That was what Kiryu said to Yusei on the day they parted ways.

"Do you remember now?" 'Kiryu' suddenly reverted to Kiryu's voice, shouting in an accusatory tone, "Yusei! Why were you watching from the guards' side back then? Did you really betray me?"

Yusei: OMO (lol)

Yusei almost believed him. "You think you can fool me with Kiryu's tone, Jashin?"

Upon hearing this, 'Kiryu' pursed her lips. "Tch, you noticed? That's why I hate Dragon Markers...!"

"Evil God, you've got one thing wrong. Back then, I wanted to atone for Kiryu's crimes by turning myself in, so I never betrayed him. Kiryu and I have already reached a consensus, and your words can no longer sway my resolve."

"Haha~, what a pity, your words won't reach him either! Since they can't affect your mood, there's no point in saying more..."

"Alright! Let's begin our final duel! This time, it's not just about destroying your D-Wheel; I'm going to utterly destroy your life!"

'Kiryu' suddenly ripped off his cloak, revealing a purple-glowing mark on his right arm.

The next moment, a wall of purple flames rose from the earth, quickly forming a pattern of giants and surrounding them.

The two men turned the handle and steered the D-Wheel onto the same line.

Kiryu shouted excitedly, "Field Spell [Speed World] activated!"

Immediately, they pressed the button on their D-Wheel to start a riding duel.

'Duel Mode, Autopilot Ready!' x2

"Duel!!" ×2

[Yusei Fudo: LP4000]

[Kyosuke Kiryu: LP4000]

The rear wheels of both cars spun at high speed, rubbing against the ground for a moment before propelling their D-Wheel forward, speeding off the track.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Junk Guardian

"Whoever takes the lead at the first corner gets ownership of the initial round, and I won't let you have the first turn!" 'Kiryu's' car suddenly lurched and crashed into Yusei.

"!!!!"

Seeing this, Yusei quickly slowed down, and D-Wheel instantly fell behind its opponent by a body length, avoiding the collision.

"Tch! You dodged it...? But this gives me the first strike!"

After 'Kiryu' made the first turn, he immediately drew a card.

"My turn!"

[Kyosuke Kiryu's hand card: 5 → 6]

He glanced at his hand, then grabbed three cards and inserted them into the slots one by one. "I'm taking three cards face down from my hand. End of turn."

[Kyosuke Kiryu's hand card: 6 → 3]

"Not summoning a monster...?" Yusei frowned slightly.

The Infernity Deck requires zero cards in hand to activate its effect, making its initial setup slow. Furthermore, 'Kiryu' didn't summon any monsters to reduce the hand size on the first turn, leading Yusei to wonder if his opponent was actually using Infernity Deck.

"My turn!"

[Yusei Fudo's hand: 5 → 6]

(Yusei Fudo SPC1, Kyosuke Kiryu SPC1)

Just as Yusei was about to check the cards in his hand, Kiryu suddenly revealed a face-down card. "At this moment, activate the Trap Card [Tyrant's Decree]!"

"What!?"

"This card can only be activated during your opponent's Standby Phase, and they cannot enter their Battle Phase this turn." 'Kiryu' sneered, "Although I didn't summon a monster just now, I won't let you hurt me in the slightest!"

"..."

Since there's no way to attack this round, Yusei doesn't need to rush into anything.

After a moment's hesitation, Yusei placed two cards onto the Duel Disk in turn. "When I have no monsters on my field, I can Special Summon [Junk Forward] from my hand, and then Summon the Tuner monster [Righty Saber]."

As soon as Yusei finished speaking, passages opened on both sides of him, and the figures of Junk Forward and Righty Saber immediately appeared.

"And when [Righty Saber] is successfully summoned, I Special Summon [Lefty Saber] from my Deck according to its effect."

"[Righty Saber] can be used as Synchro Material instead of Tuner monster with [Synchron] in their names, therefore..." He then raised his voice and exclaimed, "I'm using Level 2 [Lefty Saber] and Level 3 [Junk Forward] to level up Level 1 [Righty Saber]!"

"When steel gathers around the messenger of the swift wind, their wishes will transform into a shield of steel, becoming a path of radiant light!"

"Synchro Summon! Appear, [Junk Guardian]!"

In an instant, the light of harmony illuminated the road, and a steel warrior covered in heavy green armor descended, transforming into a barrier to protect the Yusei.

[Junk Guardian: Defense 2600]

"I'll set two more cards face down, end of turn."

[Yusei Fudo's hand: 6 → 2]

"Hmph~, trying to strengthen your defense, huh... But unfortunately, a shield with only 2600 defense is no match for my attack!"

"My turn!"

[Kyosuke Kiryu's hand card: 3→4]

(Yusei Fudo SPC2, Kyosuke Kiryu SPC2)

When it was 'Kiryu's' turn, he immediately opened a face-down card. "First, I activate the Trap Card [Infernity Inferno]. This card can discard up to two cards from your hand, and then send cards with 'Infernal Flame' in their name from the deck to the graveyard based on the number of cards discarded."

"Discard [Earthbound God Kapak Ap] and [Infernity Guardian] from your hand, and send [Infernity Necromancer] and [Infernity Demon] from your deck to the graveyard."

Seeing 'Kiryu' shove four monsters into the graveyard in one go, Yusei's expression hardened. "So she really is using a bare-handed combination after all? And she even sent the Earthbound God to the graveyard right from the start!?"

"That's right! Although it's the same deck, its power in my hands will exceed your imagination!"

With a flick of his arm, 'Kiryu' revealed his last face-down card. "Continuous Trap [Incarnation of the Devil]!"

"As long as this card is on the field, if you Summon a Level 5 or higher Fiend-type monster once per turn, you can skip the Tribute required to do so."

"Therefore, I do not need to offer a tribute to summon the Dark Tuner [DT Nightmare Hand]. When this card is successfully summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 2 or lower monster from my hand, and Special Summon a Level 2 [Infernity Dwarf] to the field."

After two almost identical materials appeared one after another, 'Kiryu's' hand was reduced to zero.

[Kyosuke Kiryu's hand card: 4 → 0]

'Dark Tuner... That monster is coming!'

Just as Yusei had expected, Kiryu didn't hesitate at all. "I'll use a level two [Infernity Dwarf] to Darkly tune a level ten [DT Nightmare Hand]!"

In the blink of an eye, the Nightmare Hand transformed into ten orbs of light and forcibly merged into the dwarf's body, canceling out two of the stars, leaving only eight stars that turned black.

"When the dark curtain falls, the Eye of the Underworld will open! Darkness descends, Darkness in Harmony!"

"Appear, [Hundred-Eyes Dragon]!!"

In the depths of darkness, countless evil eyes opened, and as the darkness dissipated, a terrifying dragon with a hundred eyes was revealed.

'Roar--!!!'

[Hundred-Eyes Dragon: Attack Power 3000]

'Kiryu' smiled smugly, "That completes the empty-handed combo. [Hundred-Eyes Dragon] can gain the effects of all Dark Attribute Monster in the Graveyard. Based on the effect of [Infernity Guardian], this card cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects when your hand is empty."

"Furthermore, I have also bestowed upon [Hundred-Eyes Dragon] invincible power, making it unaffected by the effects of the opponent's spell and Trap Card, and allowing it to directly attack the opponent's player."

"Take this! [Hundred-Eyes Dragon] will attack the Dragon Signer, Yusei Fudo, directly. No matter what effects your monster has, as long as it hits your health directly, you can't stop it, hahahahaha!"

"Solvadocana!"
