Section 195

Therefore, Lingya gave up thinking, and didn't think about anything, just pulled out the top card of his deck. It was just a thin piece of paper that couldn't even be touched by a unit like "kilogram", but at this moment it seemed to have a thousand pounds of weight, which was about to crush him.

Using all his strength, Lingya turned the card in front of his eyes. That card is...

"...Is it? That's it." He exhaled all the air in his lungs in one breath, and his tone was full of loss, confusion, and relief.

"That's...that's it." Black Manta, Ryoga Kamishiro, the card in his hand fell to the ground. The card was face up, and the orange border proved its identity as an effect monster.

Fire attribute, Lv3, Tuner monster. That is something that everyone is very familiar with, very fond of, and has tasted countless times...

Gray Flowing Beauty.

Black Manta, his face was strangely calm. His and ZEXAL's LP had no damage, and it was still the full value of 16,000 points. Hoshimi Hitomi's 2000 points were like a candle in the wind.

But this did not mean that they were the ones who had the upper hand. In fact, except for ZEXAL's counterattack, they were beaten inhumanely from beginning to end, both in the duel and outside the duel.

There was no need to continue. Hoshimi Hitomi's [12 Beasts] was a classic draw 1 vs. 1 deck. As long as any 1 of the 12 Beasts monsters was drawn, another wave of fancy deployment would be launched. He no longer had any power to resist.

Black Manta, Kamishiro Ryoga, used his free right hand to cover his own life value.

"... Ugh..." All kinds of complicated emotions surged into his heart. Was it anger? Was it hatred? Was it joy? Was it reverence? Or was it relief?

All kinds of emotions rushed together like spicy hot pot, turning into liquid and gushing out. At some point, Ryoga was already in tears. He has clearly lived through a long time, but now he behaves like a boy under fifteen, just like his human identity.

——Father, what are you thinking about?

Black Manta...Ryoga Kamishiro suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand Hoshimi Hitomi at all. When he was Hoshimi Hitomi, was the smile and concern on his face false? When he was Nidhogg, was his crazy thoughts false? When he was Darkseid, was his egoism false?

What constitutes Hoshimi Hitomi's existence... is it real and what is false?

Hoshimi Hitomi tilted his head, and his dark pupils stared at the black manta opposite him...Ryoga Kamishiro.

After a short and long gaze, his indifferent expression thawed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"You fought well." He said.

【Black Manta & ZEXAL, give up. 】

【Winner: Hoshimi Hitomi. 】

The long...long battle finally came to an end!

…

Human world, Xinyuan City, Xinyuan Stadium.

“So, who won? Yuma and his team? Or that purple-skinned bald guy? Ahhh, I’m so anxious! Hey, Iron Lump, why is the quality of your Apocalypse Star black technology so poor!?”

Kyuujiu Mingli bit her nails and kicked the slacking robot hard on the waist. Originally, this was just a venting act. She didn’t expect that this kick would make the slacking robot shake even for a moment.

However, the result was far beyond her expectations. The upper body of the slacking robot that she kicked at the waist flew out directly, revealing the delicate machine parts. After a burst of electric sparks, the lower body that was standing also fell to the ground, and hit the ground with a "bang".

“…”Kyuujiu Mingli opened her mouth and looked at her feet. She didn’t have the surname Wu, and she didn’t learn anything about gods and demons from the suspicious Erhu. How could a kick have such great power?

No, I've turned into a muscle-bound female gorilla! I can't get married now!

Just when she was about to cry and doubt her life, the sound of explosions continued. All the slacking robots in the gymnasium exploded at the same time and shattered into pieces!

"This is..." Everyone was stunned. Then, they gradually realized that the slacking robots were the army of Apokolips. If they all exploded, it would mean...

Could it be... could it be... maybe...

The heroes... won the final battle! ? From that, Darkseid's subordinate who was so strong that it made people despair! ?

At this moment, a faint light flashed on the originally dark screen. After a period of snowy screen, a masked face appeared on the screen, sitting upright: "Humans of the world, please listen to me. I am Yuzuo, the mayor of Xinyuan City, and the assistant officer of the Justice League."

"Just now, the demon: Darkseid, was defeated...confirmed. We, won!" On the screen, Yuzuo raised his right hand high, his voice full of encouragement and excitement, "Cheers, everyone! No need for words, just feel this moment! We-won!!!"

"Victory...?" People all over the world still couldn't believe it. That was the unmatched Darkseid, and the rotten robots that swept the world like locusts! ?

However, it is an indisputable fact that the rotten robots all over the world, along with their motherships, exploded together, leaving no wreckage.

As a result, some people gradually reacted, started cheering, and started crying with joy. In every corner of the earth, people are celebrating victory. The whole earth turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Be happy, be joyful, and then, enter a new era!

…

Pluto, the ruins of the Apokolips garrison base.

"Your friends are all safe and sound." Before Ling Ya could calm down again and asked, Xing Jiantong snapped his fingers. A tablet appeared in his hand and showed it to Lingya. Among them, the heroes who had disappeared before and ZEXAL who had just been blown away were all unconscious and lying in the room.

Meragu, Drube, Alit, Kiragu, Mizael, Yuma, Kaito, the three heraldic brothers, and Vector. Nothing less.

"They are not friends, just colleagues... No!" He subconsciously denied it at first, then Ling Ya came to his senses and punched him hard.

"You bastard!!!"

This angry punch was fast and hard, but it did not carry any extraordinary energy. Xing Jiantong easily caught it: "You are such an adult, but you are still so impetuous in doing things."

"I'm only fourteen, you bastard! And do you have the right to talk about me!? In such a big circle, you are the most irritable guy, you bastard!"

"Tsk, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to have forgotten my dignity as your guardian. I have carefully preserved the map photos of you when you were a child, and the recording of your second-grade speech a few days ago. I want to show the world All humans should watch the 18th-generation Black Manta with a childish heart.”

"Red bean paste private Marseille! I can do anything please forgive me!"

"Give me the hand, three rounds, three rounds!"

...After a while, there was a lot of excitement.

"So, what exactly are you planning to do? If you want the source code, you can just steal it. No one in the human world, the astral world, or the Balian world can stop you. Why adopt us, why do you want to scatter us? Telling a big lie? Is all this just to satisfy your bad taste of playing tricks on others?”

Lingya looked at Xing Jiantong with very complicated eyes. From beginning to end, he could not see through this man.

"In the beginning, it was indeed like this." Hoshimi Hitomi turned his head and looked in the direction of the sun. Pluto is located at the edge of the solar system, and the sun looks much smaller and dimmer than on Earth.

"At first, I just regarded you brothers and sisters as toys. The same is true for the human world, which is just a large Europa Universalis or Civilization 6 that I can flatten and round as I please."

"But... how should I put it? Watching you brothers and sisters grow up little by little, I feel that you are not so unlovable. Even because of your existence, I have a little more sense of belonging to this world."

Sighing, Xing Jiantong waved to Ling Ya. The two people walked slowly on the broken surface of Pluto as if they were taking a walk.

"Ling Ya, the origin of Black Manta is false, the story is false, and even the manta nest was false at the beginning. It was you and me who gave it life and made Black Manta a real existence."

"You have to be a bridge, a bridge that connects the three worlds. Let this world really become a world without war, hunger, discrimination, and oppression, so that the old will have their end, the strong will be useful, the young will grow up, and the widowers will A utopia where people who are widowed, lonely, alone, and disabled are all supported." Xing Jiantong stared into Ling Ya's eyes and said word by word.

…

Kiskel and Lila who were buried under the ruins: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

…

Chapter 218 91 Little Happiness

"Build... Utopia..." Ling Ya murmured to himself as he followed Hoshimi Tong.

This answer exceeded his expectations. This was Black Manta's oath. He originally thought it was just one of countless lies, but now it seems that it may not be the case.

But...this man always exceeds his expectations anyway. I am afraid that no one in the universe except himself knows what novel ideas he has in his mind, so Ling Ya is not surprised.

"However, what you have done so far is contrary to the so-called 'utopia'."

"Relying solely on the power of capital, it may indeed be possible to create a supreme finalist who can manipulate the fate of the entire universe at will. However, that is by no means a utopia, but a dystopia - even if this finalist has good intentions." Hoshimi Hitomi looked up at the stars. Even in the endless darkness, stars countless light-years away still shine with their own light, illuminating this empty universe.

"Therefore, we need heroes, we need foreign enemies, we need despair, we need...faith."

"Only after personally experiencing devastation, people can know the value of peace. Until all people of this generation die of old age, the next generation starts the cycle again: this is how human history spirals." Hoshimi Hitomi said lightly, with a somewhat complicated tone. No matter which world, the essence of human beings is actually the same.

Hearing this, Ling Ya suddenly realized: "The Amyrlin Seat too... So that's the case, no wonder... Nidhogg, the super criminals, the Nightmare Knights, Darkseid... all of this is 'despair' arranged by you... Let us , a ‘trial’ for humans to overcome?”

"Only under the oppression of an unrivaled foreign enemy, can mankind be united as one." Hoshimi Hitomi raised the corner of his mouth and pointed his finger at the distant void. There, there is the earth - no distinction between national borders, no race, no distinction between rich and poor, just the earth, nothing more.

"Go, Ryoga. You are the bridge between the human world and the Balian world. Yuma and the Astral Body are the bridges that connect the Astral World. That is your kingdom."

"... You bastard, for this kind of thing..." Ryoga clenched his fists and shouted excitedly, "No one asked you to do this! I am not a toy for you to play with! Don't impose your will on me--"

"Okay." Hoshimi Hitomi nodded, her tone flat.

"...Ah?" Ryoga was shocked by the overly casual answer. What does this mean? Is this Hoshimi Hitomi's new trick? Playing hard to get?

Looking at the boy with a mouth wide open enough to fit an egg, Hoshimi Hitomi was speechless: "What exactly am I in your eyes? Am I someone who doesn't respect other people's will and arranges other people's lives on my own...?"

The more she spoke, the smaller her voice became, as if she was not even confident in herself: "Well, I do... but you are different. Maybe at the beginning, I did treat you and Rio as toys. But after all, we have spent five years together that were not boring, so I will respect your opinions."

"If you want, you can become the uncrowned king of the world by defeating Darkseid and protecting mankind. The whole world Presidents and capital tycoons of all countries in the world have all been persuaded by me... and convinced. They are your most loyal lackeys. "

"If there are politicians who don't know what's good for them and object, you can spread the news that Darkseid is not dead, but is dormant and may return at any time. This heavy news can refute all impeachment and opposition. "

"If you refuse, then take off your uniforms and live a peaceful life as ordinary rich second-generations. I can use the power of the source code to turn you from the Seven Kings of Barian back to humans. The order of the world will return to its original trajectory, and the throne will be the actual ruler of the United Nations, trying to improve the world with the old rules of the game. "

As he said, Xing Jiantong stretched out his hand. Behind him was a darkness deeper than the future, and bright stars shining with unknown light.

Looking at his cheap son Lingya, Xing Jiantong's mouth curled up, revealing a smile that could be called "gentle" or even "kind".

"So, Ryoga. What is your choice?"

Looking at the hand that was stretched out to him, Ryoga couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his mouth dry.

He knew that at this moment, the fate of the world and the universe was in his hands.

"My...choice is..."

...

"Brother, there are beetles over there! Hey--!!!" The clamoring boy rushed into the woods with a bug net.

"Yoto, don't run too fast." Kaito smiled dotingly, watching Yoto playing in the woods.

A month has passed since the final battle between Pluto and the demon: Darkseid. It is said that in the end, the scavenger-oh, now the new Black Manta-and Yuma fought against Darkseid together. The three supremes fought to the edge of the solar system, and Pluto was wiped out.

At the end of the duel, Darkseid's source code was released by the two of them, and Darkseid lost the power to create the world. And those who were erased by the source code were also resurrected and restored to their original state.

Darkseid was defeated, but he did not die. He dragged his seriously injured body and curled up in the universe, and he might come back at any time. In order to deal with this time bomb-like threat, the Justice League will continue to exist and enjoy a transcendent status. As far as Kaito knows, even if the president of a big country wants to implement a policy, it must be approved by Oracle and Black Manta before it can be implemented.

His father, Amagi Fika, was finally pardoned because of his outstanding scientific research ability and was approved to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence and conduct scientific research in the research center. According to his sentence, he must single-handedly promote the progress of human civilization for 100 years before he can be released from prison in his lifetime. It's extremely difficult, but it's better than having no hope at all!

A few days ago, the scavenger... oh, now it should be called Black Manta-the 18th generation Black Manta. He came to the door and invited Kaito to return to the Justice League, but he declined.

Kaito admitted that after Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon returned to become the Source Dragon, he lost his trump card and his dueling strength dropped greatly, and he was no longer able to serve as a hero. Now, he just wants to be with his brother and live as an ordinary person. The super criminals around the world have been almost wiped out. He believes that with the strength of his former comrades, he is already able to deal with most threats.

Black Manta expressed his understanding and told him that with the support of Apokolips' black technology, No. cards have been mass-produced on a small scale. Perhaps it won't be long before Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, or even its enhanced form, will return. I hope that by then, Kaito can continue to be active at the forefront as the superhero Galaxy and use the light of the galaxy to open up the future.

Before leaving, he left a mass-produced No. card. The power of this card is limited, and it will no longer allow the user to be blinded by power and become emotionally extreme. It is said that soon, this weakened No. card will be promoted to the world, arming duelists so that they will not be too powerless when they encounter situations similar to the invasion of Apokolips.

Just when Kaito was lost in thought, Yoto ran in front of him. The child no longer had the crazy look of "destruction, screaming, despair" in the past, and his face was filled with a sunny smile that matched his age. The treatment went very smoothly, and Yoto's connection with the astral world was almost cut off. Except for a slightly higher level of inspiration, he was just an ordinary child.
