The Bird-Beast Guards stationed in the city were caught completely off guard by a sudden attack. They were swept over by jubilant sand sculptors from the base, beaten to a pulp even before everyone could figure out what was happening.
Occasionally, a Winged Beast-Type Warrior who recovered quickly would attempt resistance, only to quickly find themselves relentlessly beaten by the immensely strong sand sculptors, left sifting through their teeth on the ground. Their fellow warriors, witnessing their comrades getting pummeled and trampled underfoot by those savage humans, Duel Disc and Card Deck snatched away, were naturally left stupefied and scared.
So powerful, yet so savage!
Who on earth are these humans!?
But it's not entirely the fault of these creatures for being weak. After all, in this entire dimension, creatures are inherently of lower rank, and those who can wield a Duel Disc to play cards are exceptionally rare.
The anime's Other Dimension chapter frequently depicted this; even those who can wield a Duel Disc and participate in dueling are the elite in the dimensions of the heavens.
Unlike the peaceful dimension where the hero group resides, in the real world, dueling is a recreational game accessible to anyone interested. However, in other dimensions, it's different.
In other dimensions, dueling isn't merely a sacred ceremony that risks one's life; it's not something just anyone can partake in.
Across the twelve dimensions, duelists are figures of stature and prestige, holding the highest position in the cosmos. Only warriors with talent and opportunity can become glorious duelists, and even the least skilled duelists are idols revered and admired by the commoners and low-ranked creatures.
In the anime, the strong Birdman ruling this Bird-Beast city expressed surprise upon encountering Yuki Judai, saying, "You brat, you're also a warrior?" He mentioned that only warriors with true courage could lift a Duel Disc in this world.
Therefore, with such a large group of sand sculptors wielding Duel Discs surging through the city's streets like a mudslide, the Bird-Beast Warriors were dumbstruck.
These spirits born in a low-level dimension had never seen a force composed of such a massive number of duelists in their lives.
In this dimension, any spirit with cards and a Duel Disc is considered a powerful Commander leading armies. For instance, several warriors confused as roadside fodder by the players and swiftly killed in passing are all senior officers among the Bird-Beast Warriors!
Watching their stronghold being flattened, high-ranking commanders accustomed to commanding armies were obliterated like cannon fodder within two turns. The Bird-Beast Warriors were terrified, dropping their weapons in a rush to flee, not daring to confront such a daunting force!
Those slave spirits forced into labor were even less able to believe their eyes. Happiness came so suddenly that they couldn't immediately accept the reality of liberation from hell.
Usually, it only dawned on the slaves once those walking card machines flattened a base, leaving no Bird-Beast Warriors intact. They then cheered and joined the group, charging together for the newly attained freedom.
Many spirits, long tormented by despair until they became numb, were now reignited with the hope to survive, moved to tears.
Tania was initially planning to organize a resistance later, but that plan was now evidently shelved. Hence she promptly issued orders, and Amazon Warriors from her dimension emerged from concealment, joining the tide of resistance.
With such commotion, news naturally reached their stronghold, a government-like building at the center.
The entire city was alarmed. Of course, the ruling class attempted immediate counterattacks, but it was entirely futile. Every intercepting squad was as futile as moths to a flame, quickly engulfed by the combined forces of duelists and spirits.
In essence, this happens because there are too few duelists.
Perhaps since The Supreme King's army occupied and ruled here many years ago, this dimension has not encountered such a large-scale duelist attack again, leaving them without a chance.
However, soon they faced this city's Guardian.
An ominous shadow swept across the sky, the swiftly moving body casting a pitch-black silhouette upon the ground as light streamed through the dome.
Carving a long trajectory in the air, he flew over players busy in a chaotic duel and looting spree, gracefully flipping through the air, lightly landing ahead of everyone. Black feathers fell like leaves.
He blocked everyone's path, slowly stood upright.
A Bird-Beast Warrior quite stylish in form, with red wings and an eye mask covering half his face. His eyes emitted a sharp gaze honed through countless life-and-death experiences.
Birdman, level four, a regular Monster. Card description: "A birdman capable of flying at five Mach speed, eyesight sharper than a hawk's."
He is the Guardian of this city, the strongest here.
In the animation, Yuki Judai once battled this Guardian upon reaching this dimension and was driven into a hard fight.
Though Birdman lost, he proved his strength through the duel…
...Alright, at least he's not like the other dimension's miscellaneous creatures.
Birdman landed on the ground, swept his gaze over the Duel Discs on the hands of every player before him, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Are all of you... warriors?"
He was somewhat shocked.
Guarding this city for years, he was witnessing such a large contingent of duelists for the first time.
In this world, every duelist's Card Deck is akin to a powerful army. Together, this many duelists compose an unstoppable tide of steel.
But nonetheless, guarding this city is his mission.
"BOSS! Seems a boss appeared!" a player shouted.
Players abandoning their bashing and looting endeavored to rush over.
The troops in this dimension are not only low in rank but mostly lack Duel Discs. Players void of challenge felt like they were playing "Yugi's Unrivaled" along the way.
Now encountering what looks like a boss to fight, naturally no one wanted to be left behind.
However, dueling by default requires One for One—unless someone very arrogantly permits the opponent to take on two or even three at once, rules dictate a sequential order.
The person who goes first plays cards, and when defeated, the next one steps up.
Whether fortunate or unfortunate, the player falling in the first position was the sandbag president of the Hanno Knight Guild...
"Hahaha, looks like I'm first!" The sandbag president merrily opened the Duel Disc, "Come on! Whether you're Birdman or Catman, experience the sublime power of the Hanno Knights and plunge into despair's abyss!"
"Interesting." Birdman similarly opened his Duel Disc, "Let me verify your honor as warriors!"
"Duel!" x2
"..."
Half a minute later.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"
[Just a sandbag, LP 0]
All players: "..."
