Chapter 1128: The Three Emperors
Chapter 1128: The Three Emperors
As the Lucky Cup tournament concluded, the entire audience was left in a state of confusion.
It was only natural. In the middle of a duel, the sudden appearance of a massive red dragon in the center of the arena, summoned by some unknown force, was already shocking. Then, without warning, the track and riders vanished, and a hurricane swept through the arena, leaving the spectators in a chaotic haze.
If that wasn’t enough, the official holographic projection of the tournament also went down. The audience was left in complete darkness, unable to see what was happening on the dueling field.
Finally, when the hurricane subsided and visibility returned, the holographic projection on the giant screen also came back. What the audience saw was the Life Points of the reigning champion, Jack Atlas, reduced to zero.
Yusei Fudo had won.
The symbol of the city, the undefeated champion Jack Atlas, had been defeated by a challenger from the Satellite District. The invincible legend was shattered, and the king had fallen from his throne.
The most critical part was that this historic moment had been completely blacked out, with no one able to see what had transpired!
Naturally, the audience erupted in boos. Some people shouted for refunds, while others accused the organizers of foul play, suggesting that Yusei Fudo must have had some underhanded deal with the organizers.
How else could it be that the spectator system failed at the exact moment it did, and the undefeated champion just happened to lose in that brief period?
Even the spiky-haired host was drenched in sweat, staring at the score board, at a loss for words, wiping his forehead with a handkerchief and stammering, "Uh, this... uh, what's going on here..."
It wasn't until the projection of an official appeared before him, calmly saying, "What's the matter? Aren't you going to announce the winner? The duel has already been decided."
"Oh, oh!"
With the official's permission, the spiky-haired host regained his composure.
"The winner is... Yusei Fudo!"
"The invincible king's legend has been shattered, and a new king has risen! His name is... Yusei Fudo!!!"
"..."
The audience and the citizens, naturally, still had their complaints, but that didn't matter anymore. The Security Maintenance Bureau would later release the full details of the duel on the Lucky Cup's official website.
But from the beginning, the outcome of the duel wasn't the most important thing. The Dragon Marked Ones had already awakened, and the Shadow Marked Ones were ready.
The two camps, carrying a grudge spanning five thousand years, were about to clash once again.
"..."
Akihito Izayoi returned to the Eden Movement Building.
Standing at the base of the towering structure, she looked up, feeling a mix of emotions. In the past few years, she had truly considered this place her only home, but today, for the first time, she felt no sense of returning home.
Was it because Dwayne was gone?
Or was it simply that something had changed within her?
As soon as she entered, a member of the Eden Movement, dressed in the organization's uniform, was waiting for her.
"I've been waiting for you, Miss Akihito."
Akihito frowned slightly. She wasn't familiar with this person, though they were part of the same organization and had never spoken before.
"Commander Godwin asked me to wait for you", the person said.
Akihito's heart skipped a beat. "You're one of Godwin's people?"
The person nodded. "Yes."
"Since when?"
"From the beginning."
The person spoke nonchalantly, gesturing for her to follow.
"Please, this way. Commander Godwin has something he wants you to see."
Akihito nodded and followed without asking any more questions.
It turned out that Godwin had already planted his own pieces within their organization long ago.
But this wasn't Youxuan's arrangement; Akihito had discovered it on his own. Thinking about it, it made sense. With Godwin's secrets in the hands of the Eden Movement, even if he couldn't openly move against the organization, someone like him would certainly have some contingency plans.
The man led Akihito down a familiar path, and they arrived at Dwayne's room.
But as they entered and the man operated a hidden mechanism to open a secret door, Akihito's expression changed.
She had never known that Dwayne had such a hidden room in his quarters.
The man paused at the door, speaking calmly. "Commander Godwin said that after you see everything here, your future is entirely up to you."
Akihito stood at the door for a minute.
For some reason, even before she took a step, she had a vague premonition of what she would find inside.
Something that could shatter the beliefs she had built over the years.
A voice in her heart was telling her not to go in, to ignore the truth. This way, she could remain in this sanctuary of psychokinetic beings, pretending she knew nothing and staying with the remaining "family" in the organization.
But in the end, she took the step.
Before today, she might not have had the courage to face the truth. The Eden Movement had become her entire life, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if the organization and Dwayne betrayed her.
But now, something had changed.
Akihito finally walked in, ready to confront all the harsh truths and the true face of this utopia built on lies and pain.
New Tatsunohi, an unknown location.
A vast, blue, almost void-like space where three figures seemed to sit in mid-air.
"Hehehe, that Godwin guy has some skills."
A sharp, childlike voice said.
"He's managed to repel the Aberrations multiple times, and even with continuous interference, he still managed to hold the Lucky Cup smoothly.
The Dragon Marked Ones have all awakened, and it looks like the war with the Shadow Marked Ones is next, right?"
The voice cackled again.
"The power of the Red Dragon and the Earthbound Gods, even with the interference of the Aberrations, are still destined to clash. I wonder how it will turn out, hehehe."
An elderly voice responded, "This is not something to be happy about, Luciano.
And that person is not Godwin, you know that."
"Of course I do", the childlike figure, Luciano, replied with a shrug.
"But we don't know who he is, like some random guy who just appeared. For now, he looks like Godwin, so we'll just call him that.
Otherwise, we'd have to keep calling him 'the unknown guy who replaced Godwin,' right?"
The elderly voice said sternly, "The war between the Dragon Marked Ones and the Shadow Marked Ones, the continuous appearance of Aberrations, and now this guy who has replaced Godwin and keeps defeating the Aberrations.
The situation is getting more chaotic. We need to find out if he can be of use to us, or if he's part of the Aberrations and should be eliminated as soon as possible."
At that moment, a young man's voice joined in.
"Hmph, we'll just have to see."
The figure stood up, speaking calmly.
"Whoever he is, let's eliminate him first."
