Chapter 197

As he shouted, the lens part of the VR goggles emitted a blue light. In Judai's eyes, everything around him was washed and eroded by the data storm of 0s and 1s. Then, the data storm dissipated, the familiar room disappeared, and what appeared in Judai's eyes was a pure white space.

"Yoshi, the connection is normal! There is no problem in reading the deck data, so let's have a pleasant duel immediately! [Random Duel]...oh, so fast! [Knight of Hanoi], is it the default ID?" Judai seemed to have never seen the world before, babbling.

"At least millions of people around the world are using this platform. It's strange that it can't be matched with talents. The tenth generation is here, don't be careless and do your best!" Yu Beier's voice was a little serious. If he (she?) once thought he was invincible in this world, now he knows what "humility" means.

"Oh, come on!" Judai stared at the masked and white-robed figure across from him with solemn eyes. That's the default outfit for this LINK VRAINS platform. Duelists who use this ID and costume are highly polarized. They are either newbies or ruthless top scorers, so most people don't want to duel with this kind of duelist.

But, Judai doesn’t care about such things. Duel, the most important thing is to have fun, Tanosi!

Looking down at the card, Judai raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Winged Man, Hot Girl, Fusion, Fusion Release, Hubert. The perfect hand card!

"I'll attack first! I activate the fusion, and then cancel the fusion! Come back, Winged Man, Hot Girl!" Judai started operating with confidence. Immediately, he gathered 2 sacrifices on the field.

"That's it, Judai. Keep going!" Hubert smiled. If the superior summons him (her?) himself, he will surely win!

"Oh! The summoning materials are 2 warrior-type monsters! Use Winged Man and Hot Girl to set the connection mark! LINK-2, [Memories of the Paladin Isolde]!"

Huber: ...? ? ?

Chapter 220 93 Memories of the Stars

"Look, this is the 11th generation VR goggles Plus version launched by Paradis Company! I can't wait to send it to Mr. Jonouchi while it is still being tested. This proves that my strength is among the best in the world. , Hahahaha~~~" The yellow-haired boy Jonouchi Katsuya raised the sight glass in his hand and showed off loudly, like a knight chef who had obtained a genuine belt.

"Yes, thank you to Mr. Jonouchi, who has been ranked among the top four PC players for three consecutive years, for opening your eyes. Oh, this is the legendary VR goggle P, how sacred it is~" Honda's eyes were empty, and his voice had no emotion at all. Ups and downs, serious reading.

"That's it. No matter how you look at it, it's just out of Hoshimi's affection that you're giving away something that's still under testing as a favor, right? It's essentially the same thing as the rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival and the mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. "Yoga with the dice hanging from his ears is also weird.

"You two bastards... do you think the runner-up is something easy to get!?" Jonouchi grabbed the two of them by the neck and activated the chokehold. Honda and yoga can't breathe!

"Oh, oh, that's enough..." Having returned from studying abroad, the slim dancing star Kyoko couldn't help lowering her hat and covering her face with the brim of her hat, as if she was ashamed to be associated with these idiots. "Idiots like this can only Peacock Ball should stoop down and get married, it would be a shame..."

"Well... Jonouchi-kun is a very popular celebrity duelist after all. He should have a lot of female fans... right?" Oyoyu scratched his cheek with his index finger, a little unsure, "But time flies so fast. One day In the blink of an eye, Jounouchi is about to get married, and I still haven’t accomplished anything..."

"These words coming from the mouth of one of the Duel Kings are really not convincing at all." Kyoko couldn't help but complain, then blinked and showed a narrow smile, "Or... Yugi, you are Are you hinting to me that you also want to get married soon? "

"Ah, this, this, this..." Muto Yugi, one of the two duel kings, his face turned red, steam seemed to come out of his head, he stammered and danced, "No, no, no, no, no, no... I didn't mean that... …”

"That means you don't want to marry me?"

"No, no, no, no, it's not... Listen, listen to Xingzi, when do you want to..."

At this moment, the golden light flashed away. Muto Yugi's panic and shyness all disappeared, replaced by a generous and confident one. Wang Xiang exchanged control of his body and said teasingly: "Hey, Kyoko, stop bullying Aibo. This is a bit too exciting for him."

"...Uh-huh, you have to go through it sooner or later." Looking at the king like an old hen protecting her cubs, Kyoko burst out laughing. There was no strange color in her eyes, as if she was facing an ordinary friend. Same.

Time can really change a person. Kyoko, who once threw herself at the illusion of dreams like a moth flying into a flame, has become rational and mature. True happiness is not three thousand years away, but right now, right next to you.

"Okay, let me show you a live performance of a killing show! My green-locked dragon anaconda and black flame bullet are already thirsty! Into the VRAINS!"

"Ah, Jonouchi logged in. Just don't lose too badly."

"Oh, it's matched. It's so fast. It's the Plus version. [Knight of Hanoi], is it the default ID? Hey Castle, don't be careless, this kind of ID is a mixed bag, everyone has it! I saw the game last time Use the default ID to fry fish in low segments!”

"Hey, look at my performance! Ha, the opponent is a rookie using a fusion deck. Look at me... Oh, fusion is followed by fusion release? What a shame, 4 for 1, the opponent is indeed a rookie... Ah, Link Summon Yi Sod? ...Start with 35 stars, no meteorites, I’ll vote.”

"The fastest duel legend!"

"PC Cup runner-up!"

"You speak with spaces!"

"Nonsense, you bastards!!!"

"Pfft... Hahahahaha~~~" Even though he was as cold as a king, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. This group of silly friends are always reliable and funny. They are his most important friends... Well, this friendship is enough to span three thousand years!

'The other me...' Xiao Biao's voice reached Wang Xiang's heart through the Millennium Building Blocks, 'I think... the time is coming, right? ’

"...Ah. It's close - that's what my intuition told me." Putting his hand on the thousand-year building block on his chest, Wang Yang's always raised eyebrows slowly lowered, and his arrogant and confident expression softened.

"Don't be sad, Aibo. Parting is always inevitable. Don't be sad for me. I just returned to the place I should have gone back to - there are many people waiting for me. This is the beginning of another great adventure. ”

'Well, I understand, the other me... the world gave us five years. In the past five years, we have crossed the top of the Himalayas together, crossed the Sahara Desert together, crossed the Amazon rainforest together, rafted on the Congo River together, seen the Nazca giant paintings together, broken ice at extremely low altitudes, and traveled in the universe together. Have admired the magnificent solar system...'

"Aibo..."

‘I don’t have any regrets anymore, the other me. We must work together to bring our adventure to a perfect end! ’

"...You have really become stronger." A soft smile appeared on Wang Xiang's face, as if she was a mother who saw her child finally grow up and become independent. There is reluctance and attachment, but more importantly, I am happy.

"So Aibo, can you avoid making more traps during Duel Rite? At least don't let the number of trap cards exceed 20 -"

"Hey~ I can't play a deck with less than 25 red pits~"

…

"Too weak!!! Is this level worthy of being called a duelist!?" Professor Cobra's forehead had veins popping out, his face was ferocious, his muscles were bulging, and his whole body was as ferocious as Asura, "Stand up ! ! A true duellist must have the courage to face despair! Stand up and face me!"

Amidst the overwhelming screams of the students, the former mercenary and current dean of academic affairs, known as the "cold-faced murderer", waved his hand and issued a cruel and merciless slaughter order to the dark killing weapons behind him: "[Mecha Troop· Destroy the armed forces] and attack directly!"

"Damn it, who does he think he is! Just a dump truck, who doesn't have one anymore!" A student in a blue uniform stood up, raised his arms and shouted, "Oppressed brothers and sisters, don't be afraid! Just a dump truck!" Just use a hundred dump trucks to drive away one dump truck!"

"Just... that's what I'm saying! I've long been unhappy with the academic director whose hair is so sharp that it can poke people to death. I emptied his LP and pushed him against the pillar Aruba!"

"The mecha deck has been carved for a long time. What are the remnants of the old era to be proud of? Classmates, come together!"

The students worked together to resist. Dozens of cards were photographed in the monster area. Amidst the sound effects of dozens of monsters being summoned, Gundam, no, dozens of black dump trucks stood on the ground, arranged in a pin pattern, like Professor Cobra. The lone integrated dump truck is in sharp contrast.

"Hey, have you finally mustered up the courage to resist? But it's no use! Let me teach you that even if the same structure is used, there will be a huge gap in the duelist's strength due to the user's operation! , my armed force of destruction!”

Professor Cobra waved his hand, and the dark dump truck seemed to be in an uninhabited land, rushing into the neatly arranged army of dump trucks and giving it an unparalleled meal. Broken armor and parts were flying all over the sky, and flames and explosions roared. The scene was so tragic, it was as if the real Gettarosaurus was randomly releasing Getter BEAMs in Zeon's lines!

"Well, how could this happen..." The disgraced student looked desperately at his dump truck being reversed and sent to another world, with a confused look on his face. The virtual flames licked his face, making him feel the despair and cruelty of the battlefield as if he were there.

"Because my dump truck is equipped with a B! All of you are unqualified. 10 points will be deducted from your usual score and you will have to retake it!!!" Professor Cobra roared with full force as he assessed this "activity class". Ended.

"...Mama Mia..." Outside the simulation classroom, Professor Kronos, who was good-looking but unexpectedly a good teacher, bit his handkerchief and looked at the ravaged students with a worried look, "Professor Cobra is as ferocious as ever. Nang None! I hope this won’t leave any psychological shadow on the students! Nang None!”

"However, this is also for their growth... The world of duels is very cruel. The loser has no glory to speak of and only deserves to drink the tears of unwillingness... If even this level of humiliation can't be tolerated... If you can’t overcome it, you should switch to the card design major as soon as possible and become a card designer.”

So, when the students dragged their tired bodies and pushed open the classroom door, they saw another face that was arrogant, arrogant and mixed with contempt: "I am really disappointed Nangnone. Your level is Not to mention becoming a professional duelist, even graduating from this school is a problem, I don’t know how you passed the entrance exam!”

"You are truly the worst class of students I have ever taught, Nang None!"

"...Damn it..." The students couldn't help but gritted their teeth and clenched their fists tightly.

"If you have any reflections, go to the cafeteria to eat Nang Noi! In order for you to successfully pass Professor Cobra's course, I will give you special lessons every night this semester Nang Noi! Hurry up, don't wait, hurry up and give it to me Go and pack your things! If anyone dares to be late for even one minute, I’ll kill him!”

Looking at the students running away, Professor Kronos couldn't help but sigh: "It's really... the current dueling environment is so bad, I don't know whether becoming a duelist is good or bad."

"This is the best of times, and it is also the worst of times." Professor Cobra, who was wearing a coat, walked out of the classroom and said calmly, "Opportunities will only come to those who are prepared. Guys who have no consciousness, no will, and no ambition - —doesn’t deserve to pass my course.”

"Say...it's Nangnone..." Professor Kronos trembled subconsciously. Not to mention a student, even he himself was a little scared of this retired mercenary professor.

"Ah, ah hahaha, I still have to prepare lessons for the tutoring class, so I will go back first. Professor Cobra, please do it yourself. Ahhaha, ahhahahahahahahahaha -"

With a strange laugh, Professor Kronos disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Looking at the empty corridor, Professor Cobra took a deep breath.

"Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. This is to enable them to... survive better on the battlefield in the future." The strong man like an iron tower murmured to himself. His voice echoed in the empty corridor and was not heard by anyone.

…

"Happy Birthday to You~" Hoshimi Hitomi had a narrow and evil smile on her face, shaking the rattle in her hand.

"Happy Birthday to You~" Risu smiled like he almost lost his breath, and beat the tambourine in his hand crazily.

"Happy Birthday to Ryoga~" Jindai Lingya had a face on his shoulder, a tablecloth with small animals printed on his chest, and a birthday hat that was so small that it could only fit on his head. He was tightly tied to the chair with steel ropes, and could only watch helplessly as the two groups tortured him both physically and mentally.

"Happy Birthday to You~~~" As the melody ended, "Pah! Pah! Pah!", colorful fireworks bloomed, spraying Ling Ya all over. Xing Jiantong had an exaggerated expression on her face, raised the microphone and said loudly: "Congratulations to little Lingya for turning five years old! Everyone applauds!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha~~~" Li Xu let out a barbell-like laugh while twitching, "Lingya kid, hahahahahahahaha~~~"

"What's so funny! Isn't it just that there was one missing '1' when ordering the cake?" Ling Ya squeezed out the sound through his teeth, veins jumping on his forehead, "Besides, don't forget Li Xu, you are better than I'm young. If I were 5 years old, wouldn't you be 4 years old?

"No, no, I'm a 14-year-old girl. Come on, Ling Ya, call me sister!" Li Xu didn't want to accept this provocation, and joked, "After all, I didn't miss my own cake! "

"...Fuck you..." Ling Ya gritted his teeth and his temples jumped, "Have you laughed enough? If you have laughed enough, let me go as soon as possible-"

"No, no, let me smile again, hahahahahahaha——"

"Hey!!!" Ling Ya's eyes glowed red, and he suddenly used chaotic energy to break the steel cable, "I'll blast you away!!!"

There was a flurry of excitement.

"Okay, let's make do with candles from previous years. Let's finish taking photos first." Hoshimi Tong's collar was a little crooked. After adjusting the focus of his smartphone, he stood behind Lingya.

"Huh!" The purple-haired boy snorted coldly, but the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

"Okay, let's wait until the family photos are taken before we can argue about who is the brother or the sister, little friend Ling Ya~"

"Okay, don't make trouble, it's time to shoot. 1, 2. Eggplant~zi!"

"Pop!" The smartphone with the time delay set automatically took the picture, and the scene of Ling Ya's head being pressed into the cake was saved and treasured forever.

Maybe there is a lie, maybe there is hypocrisy, maybe the memory is artificially programmed.

But the emotions contained in these precious memories are absolutely true without any water.

These memories will become the most important treasures in the hearts of those who transcend, and will be treasured forever until the end of the stars.

"Hoshimi Hitomi, I'll fucking kill you!!!"

Chapter 221 94 The Circle of Cause and Effect

A great place beyond human intelligence.

Here and there coexist, the past and the present blend, in the channel connecting all universes.

The source light of creation turned into a sphere, wrapping the whole body of Hoshimi Hitomi. Countless terrifying space-time energy turbulence bombarded the surface of the sphere. The torrent that originally required the overload drive of the light pyramid to resist, now dripped on the surface of the source light like a continuous drizzle, without even a ripple.

It's different. Everything is completely different.

Hoshimi Hitomi looked back behind him. The three worlds overlapped to form the main body, and the void universe set it off. The entire ZEXAL universe was dragged by the power of the source number, across time and space, and headed towards the basic universe ahead.

There was no need to say goodbye, because for him, traveling through the universe was no different from walking in the streets - yes, as long as he completely merged with the source code and became a great god.

In the vast space-time turbulence, Hoshimi Hitomi stretched out his right hand. The complete source code appeared on it. It is no longer an ethereal sphere, but a card that shines with a radiance that transcends time. This card existed before the universe was born, and will exist forever after the universe dies, creating a new universe. After countless reincarnations, its light will never go out.
