"Yay!" Little Black jumped for joy. "Wonderful, Master! You won! You really are the best and the strongest!"
"Piece of cake. How's it going, Little Black?" Tetsuhiro immediately asked about his progress.
"I've completely integrated Cyberse into the system and opened up a new space."
"Ding!!!"

"Another one done already? That means I've got two chances now. Happiness hit me so fast, like a tornado~"
Watching Little Black dance with delight, Tetsuhiro smiled along with him.
He was just about to draw when the space suddenly began to shake.
"Ah! Master!" Little Black pointed at Tetsuhiro and screamed, "Why is your body turning transparent?"
"This is bad. Send Yusaku back to LINK VRAINS, quick."
"Roger that. Constructing a spatial passage now." Little Black saluted, then immediately turned and operated the controls inside the sphere.
After some thought, Tetsuhiro decided against using Genjutsu to control Yusaku. He had already taken Little Black away; controlling Yusaku as well would be a little unethical.
Soon, a black vortex appeared in front of the unconscious Yusaku. His Duel Disk activated automatically, and a hoverboard flew out of it, carrying him straight into the vortex.
The vortex then closed. Following Tetsuhiro's instructions, Little Black packed away the entire Subspace at the last moment before they vanished and slipped into Tetsuhiro's Duel Disk, disappearing with him...
The instant he broke through the Space Gate, Tetsuhiro's newly recovered body was injured again, though less severely than before.
Perhaps it was because his physique had grown stronger.
Whoosh! A powerful gust suddenly scattered the thick black mist in front of him, blowing Tetsuhiro twenty meters backward along with it...
"What's going on?"
