Chapter 1003: Infinite Dimensions
Chapter 1003: Infinite Dimensions
"You want to know my fear? Fine."
"Then take a look."
Youxuan snapped his fingers.
In an instant, the images of the Three Great Evil Gods shattered like mirages, dissipating into nothingness.
With his current level, Youxuan could see at a glance that what appeared before him was not the true Evil Gods but mere Phantoms. In fact, most of what he saw in this space was nothing but Phantoms.
Their purpose was to disrupt his mental state, to interfere with his "momentum" before the fight. This was a common tactic among experts, trying to subtly disrupt the opponent's mind and will, much like how athletes might use trash talk to affect their opponent's state of mind before a match.
However, this mental influence was far more advanced and effective than mere trash talk. With a bit of luck, if they found someone with a weak will, they might even manage to make that person succumb to their own inner darkness, surrendering without a fight.
But Youxuan had seen and experienced much. Even though the Three Evil Gods had some advantages in their own domain, they were not fully resurrected, and their attempts to interfere with him were futile.
With Youxuan's snap, the dark realm transformed. The consciousness of those present was swept into a rapidly changing vortex, and the entire setting expanded to an unimaginable scale.
The background was not just a starry sky, but something even more vast and profound.
It was a void beyond the universe, a place where countless worlds were interconnected and existed within this spatial realm, brimming with endless possibilities.
"This is... the World Beyond the Barrier!?"
The Eraser was shocked, exclaiming, "You're just a human, and yet you know about the World Beyond the Barrier?"
Countless worlds and realities coexisted in parallel dimensions, almost never intersecting. Numerous barriers separated each world, isolating every dimension from the others.
But it was precisely the existence of these countless worlds that made infinite possibilities possible. The Three Evil Gods had awoken and found their chance to escape, thanks to the opportunities that arose from the World Beyond the Barrier.
And this was only the beginning.
Next, the Evil Gods saw something even they had never touched, something that seemed to involve the very essence of the world.
The background changed again, the void expanding, and the focus shifted to one of the countless worlds.
It was a world blessed by starlight. The sky was filled with dazzling stars, surrounding the world like a crown. A few stars in the heavens cut through the sky, forming green rings, while other starlight fell into these rings, arranging themselves into a path of starlight that seemed to lead to the far reaches of the galaxy, radiating endless light.
The scene changed once more, focusing on another world. In a dimension where starlight and chaos intertwined, a beam of golden light shot out from the starlit realm, while a dark ray emerged from the chaotic domain. The two beams crossed in mid-air, merging into a vortex of a dimension. The space seemed to tear apart as the power within the vortex intertwined, giving birth to an even more powerful entity.
In the next world, a crystal-clear pendulum hung against a planetary backdrop. The pendulum swung gently under the starlight, leaving arcs of starlight in its wake, as if etching a shining mark in the flow of time and space.
The following world was a surge of data. In this illusory realm, vast amounts of data formed towering waves and storms, and within the data storm, countless powerful beings were born.
Even the Yeshen were taken aback.
They had mocked the mere human, dismissing his arrogance and ignorance of the vastness of the universe.
But now—
What was going on inside this human's mind!?
What were these things? Other dimensions? Other worlds?
Was it just his wild imagination?
No, that was impossible.
All these images, as if experienced through a Phantom, each world, though just a Phantom, still carried a tremor that even the gods found unsettling.
An aura that seemed to touch the very Laws of the universe.
Yet, he was just a human, no matter how talented in Duel, still just a human. How could he possibly reach such a level?
And at the pinnacle of countless worlds, a figure stood proudly above all. With a cold, beautiful face, noble, elegant, and immortal.
Boom.
The realm of Darkness shattered.
Youxuan stood firm on solid ground, facing the Darkness ahead, and said calmly,
"You say I have fear? Indeed, I do."
"I fear that I am not strong enough, that everyone in this world is not strong enough. They call me the Duel King, the pinnacle of the Dueling world, but I know that isn't true."
"I know that beyond this world, there are far stronger beings, transcending this entire dimension. So I must always become stronger, always be at the forefront of development and exploration. Because no one understands better than I do how insignificant the power I currently possess truly is."
He paused, a smile playing on his lips.
"But if it's just you three useless ones, even if you come at me together, what is there to fear?"
The Darkness ahead churned violently, indicating the Yeshen's rage.
Then, a massive, dark sphere appeared in the sky, hanging like the sun during a solar eclipse. From the sphere, a wave of Darkness separated and fell to the ground, forming a humanoid shape.
Youxuan knew this was the Divine Incarnate.
"You provoke us", the shadow slowly lifted its head, studying Youxuan for a moment.
"Interesting. I can't remember the last time someone dared to challenge us like this, especially when we are in our trinity. It seems we underestimated you, treating you as just an ordinary human.
But that won't change the outcome."
A Duel Disk materialized in the Yeshen's hand.
"Enough talk. The king representing the pinnacle of humanity, and we, the Yeshen, let's wager the fate of this world."
"Duel!" x2
[Youxuan, LP 4000]
[Yeshen, LP 4000]
Youxuan: "I'll go first. Draw."
The Duel Disk's indicator light flashed, signaling that the choice of who goes first was in Youxuan's hands. Without hesitation, he picked two cards from his hand, discarded one, and played the other.
"Discard one card from my hand to Special Summon 'Mystic Trickster'!"
A magician with a question mark on his chest appeared on the field, cloaked and covered in question marks, looking like a new skin for the Riddler.
[Mystic Trickster, Attack Power 2000]
"Mystic Trickster is a high-level monster, but by discarding one card, I can Special Summon it directly!"
