Chapter 1026: Interdimensional Beings
Chapter 1026: Interdimensional Beings
"Still, You Xuan, why are you suddenly interested in other worlds?"
Keihei accompanied You Xuan down a long metal corridor in one of Kaiba Corporation's advanced research facilities. As they walked, he cast a curious glance at You Xuan.
"Still?"
You Xuan repeated the word, but quickly realized what Keihei meant.
"You mean President Kaiba?"
It seemed that ever since Atlum's disappearance, President Kaiba had developed a significant interest in technology for traveling to different dimensions. In just a year, he successfully developed a device capable of dimensional travel, showcasing truly terrifying technological prowess.
"Yeah, my brother has been heavily investing in interdimensional technology over the years. Although I'm not particularly interested, I've been hearing some theories lately."
Keihei tilted his head in thought.
"Let me think... What did they say again? Oh, right."
Keihei shook his head and explained.
"We've long achieved dimensional travel and can enter some of the fairy dimensions. However, some scholars in our group proposed that the fairy world, while appearing to be an interdimension, is actually an extension of our reality.
The reality we live in, the world humans see, is just a small part of the larger whole. They used a metaphor to explain it—like a card."
"Card?"
"Right. The two sides of a card", Keihei said. "If we use a card as an analogy, the world humans live in is the front side of the card, while the fairy dimensions are scattered on the back side.
But fundamentally, they are still the same card, the same dimension."
You Xuan seemed to understand: "So, parallel worlds would be different cards, correct?"
"You catch on quickly."
Keihei laughed and nodded.
"Exactly. Our research department found that traveling between different planes is theoretically possible.
In fact, further research suggests that dimensional travel might have occurred in our world in the past, just without anyone knowing about it."
You Xuan frowned. "Someone from here has traveled to an interdimension?"
"No, they suspect that people from other worlds have come here in the past", Keihei said. "But back then, we had no knowledge of parallel universes, so we didn't realize it.
That's why we designed this—"
As he spoke, Keihei led You Xuan to the deepest part of the research facility. The metal door automatically opened before them, revealing a massive piece of equipment inside.
In the center of the hall was a projection of Earth, a semi-transparent blue phantom that floated in the air, exuding a sense of sacredness, as if encased in a layer of energy.
"The plane radar for detecting all dimensional anomalies globally", Keihei explained. "It's used to prevent any intrusions into our plane!"
You Xuan gazed at the floating blue sphere, momentarily speechless.
"Amazing", You Xuan said. "Kaiba Corporation actually has something like this?"
Keihei also approached the sphere and smiled. "Well, it's just a prototype for now. It barely meets the design goals of a global coverage system.
But its true effectiveness is hard to gauge. It will only react if there's a real interdimensional intrusion.
But interdimensional beings aren't exactly as common as cabbages, you know."
Youxuan hesitated for a moment, pointing at a red dot on the floating Earth. "So, what does this red dot mean? It's not like actual interdimensional beings are invading, right?"
Keihei laughed. "Of course not!"
He followed Youxuan's gaze to the red dot on the floating Earth and was taken aback.
Almost simultaneously, a shrill alarm blared through the research facility. A voice over the intercom shouted, "Alert! The Plane Radar has detected an anomaly. There is a suspected dimensional intrusion."
Youxuan: "..."
Keihei: "..."
The cabbage really did show up.
At that moment, a dark spatial rift was slowly contracting, the violently torn space stubbornly trying to return to its original form.
A blond man was riding a white floating device high in the air. He wore a mask that concealed his true face, but the expression behind the mask was peculiar.
"No, this isn't right."
He glanced at a device on his wrist, adjusted it a few times, and a floating screen soon projected from it.
"No, this isn't the right place."
The blond man's frown deepened.
"This chaotic history... No, everything is wrong, it shouldn't be like this."
As he muttered to himself, a voice suddenly came from behind him. "How is it wrong? Care to share?"
The man jumped in surprise and turned to see Youxuan hovering in the air not far away, their eyes locking.
"You?"
The man compared the projection on his wrist with Youxuan, then frowned in confusion. "Fuji Yu Xuan, Duel King?"
He shook his head repeatedly.
"No, this isn't right. You shouldn't exist. Everything is in chaos, all wrong..."
Youxuan furrowed his brow. This guy seems a bit off...
Are all interdimensional beings like this?
The man continued to mutter to himself. "Could it be that history has already been corrected? No, that shouldn't be possible. This level of interference isn't enough to alter history."
After a pause, he lifted his head, a cold, sharp light shining from beneath his mask.
"There's only one way to be sure."
With that, he raised his arm, and his Duel Disk activated.
Although he didn't understand why, it seemed they were indeed going to have a duel.
Youxuan wasn't surprised. He had come prepared for this.
Through his earpiece, Keihei warned, "Be careful, Youxuan. We don't know what differences there might be in Dueling with interdimensional beings. I've already notified your brother; he's on his way."
"That's too bad for Kaiba", Youxuan said with a smile. "He might not make it in time. This will probably end quickly."
"Duel!" they both declared.

[Interdimensional Being, LP 4000]
"I'll go first, Draw."
Youxuan drew a card, raised an eyebrow, and gave a curious smile. He then selected a card from his hand and placed it on the field, setting another in the back row.
"I set one monster in Defense Position and one card in the back row. Turn end."
"Then it's my turn, Draw."
The interdimensional being calmly drew a card, and a slot on his Duel Disk immediately popped out.
"Field Spell—"
"—Sin World!"
