"But—if it's good fortune, there will always be a day it ends."
As he slowly raised his hand, the walls surrounding Duel Academy Island started to erupt with an immense, unfathomable darkness, causing the Spirits to go berserk under its power. Students with weaker constitutions and abilities instantly lost consciousness in the wave of darkness, falling into a coma.
"What's happening! What's going on!"
In the infirmary, seeing students suddenly lose consciousness and fall into a coma, Amon frantically tried to wake them, but no matter what he did, it was no use.
"Shou! Kenzan!" Judai turned around to look at the two of them, only to see that they, too, were enveloped in darkness, unable to rouse no matter what.
Some students who rushed over also suddenly collapsed in a stupor, causing the nearby teachers to scream in fright.
Even Manjome and Judai, witnessing this scene, displayed expressions of unbelievable fear.
Yubel sneered: "Now... the luck has ended."
Darkness, "The End of Humanity," descended upon this dimension!
Years ago, Yubel was sent out of this dimension. At that time, to permanently send her card to a place from which it could never return to the Human World, she was forcibly and indefinitely dispatched to the boundary of the Spirit Dimension. In this mad journey, she suffered inhuman torment in the crack between dimensions, to the point where even the most powerful Archfiend lost most of its body.
She was in pain, she was puzzled, she didn't understand why Judai would send her away like this?
Then, she understood, this was—love; torture, pain, this was love!
To return to this Human World, she went on a rampage of slaughter and received the expectations of the Wave of Light, but just relying on the Wave of Light, she could never pinpoint the location of the Human World.
Fortunately, at that time, the destined end of humanity sought her out and gave her an opportunity.
The end of humanity—
Even my Judai would be shaken by this!
To think, this notion, any human should...
"Ha, a twist of fate?"
But unexpectedly, Tenjo Hikari was beyond Yubel's expectations once more.
Tenjo Hikari listened carefully to Yubel's words and couldn't help but laugh: "A twist of fate, a sudden change is it... ha."
"When I suddenly opened my eyes and found myself at Duel Academy, I thought my life had completely changed," Tenjo Hikari said leisurely, "But—it doesn't matter, it's not important!
To me now, my life doesn't need to worry about those things—if humanity living until now is a coincidence, then meeting the people of this world and the Polymerization in that coincidence is the greatest fortune."
Tierra nodded beside him.
A turn of events?
Things like this were the least worth mentioning for her and Tenjo Hikari.
Not to mention she woke up after countless ages and found everything had changed.
Even Tenjo Hikari, his changes were far greater than what Yubel said. She didn't know from which world Tenjo Hikari came, but she had long known Tenjo Hikari was not a human of this world and had come here during some kind of upheaval.
For him, it was never "fortunate."
"A turn of events is not necessarily absolute suffering; it could also be a blessing.
The calamity that destroys humanity could also be a great opportunity for humanity."
Tenjo Hikari flicked his right hand: "So, we will overcome the disaster! What's so great about a turn of events!"
Yubel's face turned sullen.
This guy...
Even such an event doesn't faze him?
What kind of "great change in life" could compare to an event that destroys humanity!?
Directly replacing the Human World!?
"Kagurazaka-san—" Tenjo Hikari suddenly spoke.
?
Not only Yubel but even Judai and Manjome were puzzled.
Clearly knowing this person wasn't Kagurazaka, why still call out?
No response at all.
Tenjo Hikari casually drew a card from his deck and glanced at it.
"Activate Predaplant Chimerafflesia's effect, banish your Icarus on the field."
"Ha, foolish, I'll just activate the maiden's effect—" Yubel fully anticipated this point, "During the main and battle phases of either player's turn, if there is a [Dream Mirror of Terror] in the field zone, you can tribute this card to activate. Special Summon 1 [Ikelos, the Dream Mirror Mara] from the deck."
The dreaming maiden giggled as she walked into the pitch-black mirror, and then the Tormentor that appeared in the last round reappeared on Yubel's field.
"Since you've lost the target of its effect, Chimerafflesia's effect has no use now." Yubel continued her operation, "Furthermore, the effect of the Special Summoned Dream Sprite Ikelos activates.
When this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a Dream Mirror monster, you can Special Summon 1 Dream Mirror monster from your hand, except another Dream Sprite Ikelos." She Special Summoned the only monster left in her hand.
An elegant, fluffy Hound jumped out of the mirror and stood before her.
Phantasos, the Dream Mirror Friend, LV 4, Light Attribute, Beast Warrior-Type, DEF 1900.
"It's not over yet—Phantasos's effect, when this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a Dream Mirror monster, you can Special Summon an LV 8 or lower Dream Mirror monster from the Graveyard."
