Kaiba...Seto? Shigure murmured uncertainly. The next second, the man appeared before them through some kind of spatial distortion, and the Millennium Puzzle vibrated in unison with the card in Yuki's pocket.
"Not a seahorse." The silver-haired man raised his hand and removed his sunglasses, revealing cyan vertical pupils that reminded Yu Ji of Shi Yu's eyes during her mutation. "I am Seth, the current director of the Time and Space Administration." His gaze lingered for a moment on their clasped hands. "You have just destroyed three hundred years of my research."
Shigure suddenly shielded Yuki behind her: That Omni-King system is basically—
—The only device capable of preventing the collision of the twelve universes. Seth snapped his fingers, and the three of them instantly teleported to a sealed cabin at the top of the Ferris wheel. Through the glass, they could see dark clouds forming a strange dodecagonal pattern above the city. Claude is my defector researcher; he disguised the weapon system as a salvation plan.
Youji's phone automatically lit up, and the countdown on the lock screen had changed to [00:59:59]. Seth's finger swiped across the screen, displaying a global map—twelve points of light pulsating synchronously: each point was an activated spatiotemporal anchor point, and when the countdown ended...
"The dimensional barrier will completely collapse," Shi Yu interjected, the blue-eyed white dragon tattoo on her back faintly visible. "But why us?"
The Ferris wheel suddenly shook violently. Seth raised his hand to steady the cabin, and the Millennium Blocks projected a holographic image—a scene from a mural from five thousand years ago, depicting Saiyan warriors and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon Knight joining forces to seal a black sun. The fusion of dragon and Saiyan genes is the key to restarting the seal. His gaze fell on Shigure's tattoo, and you, Shigure Aya, are the last pure-blooded dragon descendant.
Yuki felt the card in his pocket getting hotter and hotter. When he took it out to check, he found that the card image had turned into a dynamic scene: a red-haired Saiyan and a silver-haired dragon girl were fighting against a circle composed of twelve black shadows.
Now choose. Seth's voice suddenly echoed threefold: join the Bureau to repair spacetime, or... the hatch suddenly opened, torrential rain poured in,... and he fell as a traitor.
Shigure gripped Yuki's hand tightly in the howling wind: "We have a third option." She ripped open her collar, and her seven Dragon Ball tattoos burst forth with intense light. Yuki's cards simultaneously ignited, and in the blue-gold energy storm, the materialized form of [Eternal Bond] appeared for the first time—a half-dragon, half-Saiyan warrior wielding dual lightsabers and energy balls, cleaving the Ferris wheel cabin in two.
Seth smiled eerily as he plummeted: "Interesting." His body disintegrated into countless streams of cyan data. Let's see how far your bond can go...
Yuki and Shigure were caught by the dragon-shaped energy and slowly landed in the fountain plaza in the center of the park. The surrounding tourists remained oblivious to the anomaly, as if everyone was wearing an invisible cognitive filter.
Cognitive interference. Shiyu wiped the blood from her nose; Seth was influencing collective consciousness. She suddenly pressed her temple, "Wait...I hear..."
A call beyond language was conveyed through the seven Dragon Ball tattoos. Yuki sensed it too—the closest of the twelve anchor points was underground in the park, and it was sending out a distress signal. The two exchanged a glance and rushed simultaneously towards the staff passage behind the carousel.
This underground passage was even more twisted than she remembered. The Blue-Eyes White Dragon graffiti on the walls was melting into a Saiyan form, and fluorescent paint dripped onto the ground, forming glowing arrows. The moment Hiru touched the security door, her Dragon Ball tattoo resonated with the access control system, and dragon script appeared on the metal surface: [Entry for those with genetically verified credentials only].
The scene on B30 made Yuki's stomach clench. The snake-man corpse that Claude had mutated lay in front of the control panel, but what was even more unsettling was the dodecahedral crystal suspended in mid-air—each face reflected a different time and space scene, four of which had been eroded by blood.
That's a spacetime prism. Shiyu's voice trembled. The core of the Omni-King System... She suddenly staggered and knelt down. Beams shot from her seven Dragon Ball tattoos and connected to the prism. It's extracting my dragon genes!
Yuuki's cards flew out automatically, forming a protective matrix in front of the prism. When the card art for "Eternal Bond" overlapped with the fourth corrupted facet, a mechanical female voice suddenly echoed throughout the basement: "[A suitable candidate detected... Initiating the final defense protocol...]"
The prism projected twelve holographic battlefields, each with a blurry figure fighting alone. Yuki recognized several of the figures—the outlines of protagonists from various Yu-Gi-Oh! games, even Goku and Vegeta from Dragon Ball. And in the background of all the battlefields, the same dodecagonal black shadow slowly rotated.
This isn't a seal... Yuki suddenly realized, it's a selection! Seth is choosing the strongest from the twelve timelines!
Shiyu struggled to grab his hand: The prism was absorbing the spacetime energy of the defeated... the connection had to be severed... Her pupils began to change to a golden-silver color again.
Yuuki's Duel Disk was rearmed under the bright light, but this time the deck became a hybrid of half-dragon and half-Saiyan. When he drew a card, the first [Dragon-Saiyan Fusion] was automatically activated: sending Shigure and Yuuki from the field to the Graveyard... Special Summon [Dragon Warrior: Final Form]!
The boundary between reality and the card blurred at this moment... Shigure's body was enveloped in dragon-shaped energy, merging with Yuki's Saiyan aura to form a pillar of light reaching the sky. When the light dissipated, what floated in the air was the materialized form of the warrior from the card illustration—the left half of his body was covered in silver-white dragon armor, the right half in an orange martial arts uniform, and his heterochromatic eyes reflected the twelve facets of a prism.
Destroying the prism will hasten its collapse. The warrior's voice is a harmony of two voices; someone must take over as the anchor...
The contamination of the dodecahedron has spread to its seventh face. On the holographic battlefield, Yugi Muto of Yu-Gi-Oh! DM is being devoured by the shadow, while Goku of Dragon Ball Z is also struggling. Yugi sees an even more terrifying truth in the fused consciousness—the spacetime of these defeated ones is being absorbed by the Prism, becoming nourishment for the shadow.
With our bonds. Shigure's consciousness became clearly discernible during the fusion, covering all twelve anchor points!
[Eternal Bond] suddenly split into twelve beams of light, each precisely striking a holographic battlefield. In the DM universe, the golden light reassembled the shattered Millennium Puzzle for the game; in the Dragon Ball world, the silver flame helped Goku break through to the perfect state of Ultra Instinct. As the counterattacks from the twelve battlefields proceeded simultaneously, the Prism emitted a cracking sound as it could no longer bear the strain.
Seth's voice suddenly boomed from all directions: Foolish! You have no idea what you're fighting against! The prism shattered into countless fragments, each reflecting his distorted face. The shadow was the primal fear of all time and space, and I was the only one—
—The only one feeding it. Shigure and Yuki separated from their fused state and spoke simultaneously. The basement began to collapse, but twelve golden rays shot in from all over the world, weaving into a new protective net above their heads.
Yuji's phone flew out of his pocket, the lock screen countdown permanently frozen at [00:00:01]. A line of small text appeared on the screen: [Time-space calibration complete 2.4... New anchor point established...]
As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the collapsed roof, Shigure discovered that his Dragon Ball tattoo had turned a dazzling gold. Yuki picked up the only intact prism fragment on the ground, and what he saw inside was no longer a terrifying black shadow, but the figures of all his comrades who had fought side by side across the twelve timelines.
Three weeks later, at a press conference for the International Illusion Society, the newly appointed CEO, Shigure Aya, announced the launch of a new card deck series spanning different dimensions. When a reporter pressed her on why the dragon warriors and Saiyans on the card art were so realistic, she smiled and showed the seven golden markings on her collarbone: Some bonds transcend dimensions.
In the corner, Yuuki was testing a new feature of the Duel Disk—occasionally, cards from another world would flash during deck searches. When he looked up and met Shigure's gaze on the stage, they both saw a strange light flickering in each other's eyes.
As night falls, a man in a white trench coat stands atop the clock tower in Domino Town, gazing at the city's neon lights. A prism fragment in his hand reflects twelve steadily functioning timelines, and on its back is inscribed a line of small characters: [Eternal Bond Project - Phase One Completed].
Chapter 367 Seven Dragon Balls
The glass curtain wall of the International Illusion Society building reflected the twilight. Yuki stood in the testing laboratory, attempting for the seventh time to insert the [Eternal Bond] into the latest 3D projection duel disk. Each time the card touched the slot, the device emitted an abnormal energy reading, triggering the fire sprinklers on the ceiling three times already.
Still no luck. The technician wiped the sweat from his brow. The quantum signature on this card had a 0.3% deviation from our spacetime frequency.
Shigure's voice came from the doorway: "Because it never belonged here." She was wearing a white lab coat today, with a blue-eyed white dragon hair clip in her burgundy ponytail, but Yuki immediately noticed the silver ring on her right ring finger—it was made from prism fragments, with Saiyan script engraved on the inside.
As her fingers touched the Duel Disk, the seven Dragon Ball tattoos glowed faintly, and the equipment suddenly stabilized. "Dragon energy is needed as a buffer," she explained to the dumbfounded technician, while secretly winking at Yuuki—"Presidential privilege."
Yuki's smartphone vibrated at that moment. Ever since the spacetime fusion incident, the device had been frequently receiving abnormal signals automatically. At this moment, the screen displayed garbled text, but when he scanned it with the Duel Disk, the code reconstructed into a three-dimensional star map—five of the twelve points of light were flashing warning red.
Here we go again. When Shiyu gets closer, she smells of jasmine shampoo. Which time and space is she from this time?
Yuki zoomed in on the star map and saw the familiar outline of Master Roshi's House at the third red dot. The moment his finger touched the holographic image, the laboratory lights flickered, and a distant shout came through the electronic devices: ...Kakarot...Bulma was...a shadowy figure.
Shigure's ring and the prism fragment in Yuuki's pocket both heated up simultaneously. She decisively pressed the emergency isolation button in the lab, and after the technician left, she pulled open her collar—the seven Dragon Ball tattoos below her collarbone were forming the Big Dipper. The Dragon Radar indicated an anomaly in the Five Elements Mountain of the Dragon Ball world: 06 spacetime curvature.
Five Elements Mountain? You Ji crosses the mountain, searching for the Dragon Ball storyline from his memories... That's not...
The place where Piccolo Daimaō is sealed. Shigure has activated the holographic projection wall and retrieved the secret files of the International Illusion Society, but according to Prism data, something even more ancient lies dormant beneath the Five Elements Mountain in that timeline. The image switches to satellite imagery—the mountain range's outline is clearly that of a coiled dragon.
Yuuki's Duel Disk suddenly unfolded automatically, and the card "Eternal Bond" popped out of its case and floated in the air. The two figures on the card, who were originally fighting side by side, changed to a defensive stance. Upon seeing this, Shigure immediately opened the safe and took out a silver Duel Disk inlaid with a Blue-Eyes White Dragon relief: It seems we've been invited to the cross-dimensional party.
When the duel disks of the two formed a triangular resonance with the suspended [Eternal Bond], the spacetime in the laboratory began to distort. The last thing Yuuki saw was Shigure's outstretched hand and the Saiyan script appearing on her ring: [No matter how many reincarnations, I will find you].
The blinding sunlight made Yuki squint. He was standing on the beach of Kame-sen-ya, but the seawater, which should have been azure, was tinged with an unnatural purplish-black. Even more bizarrely, twelve black rings of varying sizes floated in the sky, like dimensional rifts torn open.
The spacetime pollution index is 47%. Shiyu's voice came from behind us; she held a dragon-shaped detector in her hand. It's more serious than we anticipated. The detector suddenly pointed towards the center of the island, and there are signs of approaching life... Wait, this energy reading...
A figure in an orange-red martial arts uniform descended from the sky. Young Goku assumed a fighting stance, but froze upon seeing the two figures clearly: "You two have Goku's aura... but it's not quite the same..."
Yuki noticed that Goku's tail, which was wrapped around his waist, was charred black, and his Power Pole was covered in cracks. What happened? Where is Bulma?
A dark shadow emerged from the Five Elements Mountain! Sun Wukong was frantic, scratching his head in frustration. It had eaten Uncle Piccolo and then dragged Bulma into the mountain! Vegeta said that only by finding the time traveler could they... He suddenly pointed at Shigure and exclaimed, "Why is the fur on your tail silver?"
Shiyu instinctively reached for her tailbone—a dragon's tail covered in silver scales was swaying uncontrollably. Yuki's Duel Disk popped up an alarm: [Dominant expression of dragon genes detected]. The holographic diagnostic image showed that the activity of dragon cells in her body had increased by 300%.
The Five Elements Mountain is calling to my bloodline. Shi Yu's voice echoed like a dragon's roar; we must... She suddenly arched her back in pain, two crystalline dragon horns sprouting from her silver hair... We must... before the next black moon...
Yuki hugged the trembling Shigure and discovered her body temperature was alarmingly high. Sun Wukong leaned closer and sniffed: "Your wife is about to transform! We need to find the Dragon Balls and make a wish right away!"
It wasn't a transformation. A strange voice interrupted the conversation. A tall man in a purple combat suit had appeared on the beach, his spiky black hair streaked with silver strands—a sign of temporal repulsion. As he approached, Yuki was shocked to recognize the face, which resembled Vegeta's but was far more weathered—it was Trunks from the future.
According to Uncle Trunks' history book, Trunks jumped out of the time machine, and you shouldn't be here at this point in time. He showed the detector on his wrist, the screen displaying a constantly changing percentage: Miss Shigure's dragon genes are rewriting the fundamental laws of this spacetime.
As if to confirm his words, a massive black wave suddenly surged on the sea, its crest bearing an army of countless shadowy figures. Trunks drew his longsword: "The Shadow Legion has discovered a spacetime anomaly. Mr. Yuki, please take Miss Shigure to Mount Wuxing to find Vegeta's father; he can temporarily stabilize the dragon genes."
"And what about you?" Yuuki summoned the Duel Disk.
Trunks smiled slightly: "My counterpart from this timeline and I will cover our retreat." He pressed a button on his belt, and another younger version of Trunks leaped out of the time machine, casually testing out his new move—Double Finish Flash!
As two intersecting sword beams cleaved through the surging shadows, Yuji, carrying Shiyu, followed Sun Wukong towards the Five Elements Mountain. The girl in his arms grew lighter and lighter, and dragon scale patterns began to appear on her skin. She murmured intermittently: "Below the mountain... there are dragons... a laboratory... Set... deceived everyone..."
The sight of the Five Elements Mountain made Yuji gasp. The once lush and verdant mountain was now covered with black, vein-like substances, and five giant rings floated on the mountaintop. Each ring imprisoned a familiar figure—Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Piccolo, Gohan, and Vegeta, whose chest was pierced by a black shadow.
Vegeta! Just as Goku was about to charge forward, the ground suddenly cracked open, and countless dark tentacles wrapped around his ankles. Yuki's Duel Disk automatically activated its defensive mode, but Shigure suddenly broke free from his embrace, his silver hair completely transforming into dragon scales, and his hands becoming sharp dragon claws.
Finally...she awakened...her voice became a multi-layered reverberation, the seven Dragon Ball tattoos detached from her skin, floating around to form a defensive array, Yuuki...using that card...connected five...spacetime anchors...
【Eternal Bond】ignited in Yuuki's hands. As the card touched the ground, golden light suddenly shot out from the five imprisoned warriors, resonating with the Dragon Ball to form a pentagram. The mountain cracked open amidst violent tremors, revealing a massive facility buried deep within—a ring-shaped device composed of twelve cultivation chambers, each containing a silver-haired dragon girl who resembled Shigure.
I see... Yuuki's Duel Disk is analyzing the data, and Set is using clones as spacetime stabilizers...
A dark shadow surged forth from the crack, coalescing into a humanoid figure adorned with the Millennium Puzzle. When it spoke, its voice was a hybrid of Set and Cloud: "Intelligent. But you've got one thing wrong—these aren't clones." The shadow waved its hand, and the incubation chambers fully activated, revealing Shigure Aya's reincarnations from different timelines.
The central hull slowly rose, revealing a sleeping dragon girl who looked exactly like Shigure, except for a Saiyan-style power level detector on her forehead. The shadowy figure stroked the hull: Five thousand years ago, the first hybrid of dragon and Saiyan was born; her ability to tear through space and time nearly destroyed the twelve universes.
Shigure suddenly knelt down, fragments of memories flooding in—she saw herself as a priestess in ancient Egypt sealing away the shadow, sending away baby Kakarot before Planet Vegeta exploded, and burying a time-space prism at the Kaiba Park in Domino Town...
"Do you understand now?" The shadowy figure's voice suddenly softened. "You were the original spacetime anomaly. And the Seth Creation Administration is here to reclaim your power scattered across the twelve timelines."
Yuki's Duel Disk suddenly projected a holographic image—on a battlefield five thousand years ago, a red-haired Saiyan sent the heavily injured Dragon Girl into a spacetime rift, then charged towards the shadowy figure and self-destructed. The Saiyan's face was exactly the same as Yuki's.
An eternal bond... Shigure's dragon claw grasped Yuki's hand; it turns out we...
Suddenly, the shadowy figure launched an attack, five beams of black light piercing towards Shigure. At the critical moment, Goku and the two Trunks arrived, their energy blasts and sword beams weaving into a protective net. The older Trunks shouted: "Mr. Yuki! Only your fusion form can restart the seal!"
"Fusion requires a balance between Saiyan popularity and dragon blood!" Young Trunks added, "but Miss Shigure's dragon genes are overloaded!"
Yuuki looked at the burning [Eternal Bond] in his hand and suddenly had a crazy idea. He rushed to the nearest incubation pod and inserted the card into the pod's interface: If Shigure's power is dispersed across the twelve dimensions... then...
The five reincarnated beings simultaneously opened their eyes, transforming into streams of light and merging into Shigure's body. Her silver hair grew to her ankles, and her dragon horns forked into a crown shape, but the dragon scales on her skin were fading. The dark figure let out a piercing shriek: No! You are reversing the fusion!
It wasn't a reversal. Yuki's Duel Disk disintegrated and reassembled, transforming into an arm armor inlaid with seven Dragon Balls—it was purification. When his fist collided with Shigure's dragon claw, golden light and silver flames spiraled into the sky, forming a giant Tai Chi diagram above Mount Wuxing.
The shadow dissolved in the light, but Seth's voice still echoed: You have only delayed what is inevitable... When all twelve reincarnations from different timelines awaken... the true Shigure Aya will...
"I will remember you in every time and space," Yuki and Shigure said in unison. Their bodies merged in the intense light, giving birth to the [Eternal Warrior - Final Form], wielding both the Dragon Sword 913 and the Ki Blast Cannon. With a single strike, they pierced through the five black rings, releasing the imprisoned warriors.
As the last trace of darkness was purified, Mount Wuxing returned to its verdant green. Yuji and Shiyu separated in the light, discovering that they each had a pair of rings on their hands—his was inlaid with a fragment of a Dragon Ball, and hers with a Saiyan gene crystal.
Vegeta was the first to approach, his chin held high despite his numerous wounds: "Kakarot, it seems your idiocy is contagious." He glanced at Yuuki, but this time... he did a decent job.
Sun Wukong was busy helping Krillin remove the remaining shadows from his body: So, you guys are going to go to other dimensions to find the rest... uh... Shigure?
Trunks' time machine beeped: According to historical correction data, seven timelines have been purified. He looked anxiously at the sky, but the crucial twelfth anchor point...
In Domino Town. Shigure whispered, her dragon horns retracting into her body. We've been misled by Seth; the true final battlefield has always been at the starting point.
Yuki's Duel Disk projected an image of Earth—a twelfth black ring was forming over Tokyo Bay, with the Ferris wheel at its center. Even more unsettling, Seth appeared in the image, his Millennium Puzzle now completely black.
Time jump ready. Trunks activates the time machine. Want a ride?
As the colorful time-space portal unfolded, Yuuki gripped Shigure's hand tightly. Behind them, Goku and Vegeta stood side by side, a rare sight, raising their palms to condense a combined Ki Blast: a little gift for that guy!
The Ki Blast is incorporated into the card art of [Eternal Bond], causing the card to evolve into a brand new form—[Oath Across Time]. In his last glance before leaping into the passage, Yuki saw that the outline of Mount Wuxing in the setting sun did indeed resemble a coiled dragon, and on a rock at the summit, there was an ancient mural depicting Saiyans and dragons fighting side by side.
The flow of time within the passage was abnormal; Yuuki felt as if he were swimming in glue. Shigure's silver hair danced wildly in the temporal turbulence. She suddenly leaned close to Yuuki's ear: "There's something Seth wasn't wrong... When the twelve reincarnated beings completely merge, the original me might..."
Yuki silenced her with a kiss. At the end of the rainbow vortex, the night sky of Domino Town was shrouded in twelve black rings, while at the top of the Ferris wheel at Kaiba Park, Seth's figure was merging with a huge dragon-shaped shadow.
This time, it's my turn to save you. Yuuki inserts the "Oath Across Time" into the Duel Disk, no matter how many times the cycle repeats.
Chapter 368 Battle against Kaiba
The night sky of Domino Town was torn apart by twelve black pillars of light, and the Ferris wheel at Kaiba Park twisted into a bizarre spiral shape in the energy storm. Yuki landed on the dueling platform in the central square, Shigure's dragon tail wrapped around his waist for balance. Opposite them, Seto Kaiba—or rather, Seto disguised as Kaiba—pressed the Millennium Puzzle into his chest, black matter gushing from the wound, enveloping him in a half-human, half-dragon form.
"Here it comes, the source of spacetime contamination." Seth's voice reverberated, and his unfolded duel disk was inlaid with twelve black gems. "Use your best card game to decide the fate of the universe."
Yuuki's Duel Disk activated automatically, and the card "Oath Across Time" hovered and rotated above his deck. Shigure retreated to the edge of the field, dragon horns reappearing in his silver hair: Be careful, his deck contains a corrupted Divine Beast!
Duel! Seth draws a card first and activates the Field Spell "Dimensional Rift"! Each turn, both players can Special Summon monsters from their Extra Deck, but they must pay 1000 Life Points! The entire park begins to distort, and countless black rifts spread through the air.
Normal Summon [Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon]! A white dragon shrouded in black mist (2500 ATK) appears on the Set field. Then, pay 1000 Life Points to Special Summon [Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon] from your Extra Deck! (Life Points 7000 → 6000)
The shockwave from the arrival of the two-headed Chaos Dragon forced Yuki back three steps (ATK 4000). Sett sneered, setting two cards face-down: My turn is over. Your turn, Anomaly.
