Divine Temple The Divine Temple , known as the Ark Cradle in the Japanese version , is the fortress of Z - one in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " , and Iliaster ' s ultimate means to changing the future . Originally introduced as the Final Ener - D , the Divine Temple was eventually revealed to have been constructed out of the entire old Satellite Sector and converted into one massive Ener - D Reactor in the future that spins the Ener - D in reverse . The Three Pure Nobles eventually constructed the Grand Design to provide enough power to bring the Divine Temple to New Domino City , where Z - one put the Divine Temple on a collision course with New Domino ' s Ener - D Reactor , which would cause a massive reactor meltdown , causing a larger scale Zero Reverse , destroying New Domino City . Characteristics . The insides of the Divine Temple itself is built from the remains of Satellite in the future ruined by Synchro Summons . Within it is where Z - one , Antinomy , Paradox and Aporia find a way to repair the crumbled future in which they were . Furthermore in the same place is where Antinomy , Paradox and Aporia ' s human bodies are contained in stasis pods after they naturally died of old age . Within the citadel ' s Reactor , three Planetary Gear s exist , along with a main support gear , which is also known as the Center Gear ( which is really Old Ener - D powered by the Gears ) . Shifting in reverse , the reactor enables the Divine Temple to shut down all the Ener - D in the entire city , rendering everything inoperable with the exception of the Duel Runners used by Team 5D ' s and Team Ragnarok . It is also connected to Z - one , and as such will only stop if Z - one is defeated in a Duel ) . The outside of the citadel has the remains of the Satellite Sector , including the Daedalus Bridge . History . After being transported through a wormhole via Infinity , Bruno , Sherry LeBlanc , and Yusei Fudo entered a distorted dimension and saw this structure . Yusei saw a vision of his father , Dr . Fudo . He advised Yusei not to get close to the structure , which he described as the last Ener - D and the place which leads to the destruction of mankind . Once Yusei and Bruno returned to their own world , the structure was visible in the sky through a hole showing its dimension . The hole was only visible to the Signers and Team Ragnarok . Strangely after Yusei ' s intensive battle against Taro Yamashita , a part of the island is seen trespassing into the real world . Strangely at the time this occurred , another part of the Grand Design had lit up before . Before Team 5D ' s Duel against Team New World , Primo , Jakob and Lester reveal that the island is really their Divine One ' s fortress and that it will show up when they win the World Racing Grand Prix . But when that happens New Domino City will be destroy ed and the world will change . Only those with the Mark of the Dragon or the Rune Eye can see the Divine Temple , but if someone is in physical contact with one of these people , they will also be able to see the fortress in the sky . After Team 5D ' s defeats Team New World , the Grand Design finally gets completed . Thus allowing the Divine Temple to shatter the sky and finally appears physically in New Domino City . Upon viewing the structure more closely , Yusei notices the Daedalus Bridge hanging from it , revealing to himself and the others that the Divine Temple was in fact New Domino City . More so , because the inverted Old Ener - D within it is resonating with the present - time Old Ener - D , it will descend after twelve hours and crash into the present - day generator , thus triggering another , far bigger Zero Reverse that will erase everything within thirty miles . The Divine Temple ' s Ener - D Reactor is spinning in reverse rotation and producing minus energy . This allows it to take control of all the Ener - D in the city , thus shutting down power in buildings , automobiles , etc . Bruno states that the only way to stop it is if the negative reactor crashes into an Ener - D reactor rotating in a positive direction . Team 5D ' s soon learn from Team Ragnarok that those with the Rune Eye and the Mark of the Dragon can make their Duel Runners immune to the negative Ener - D , giving Team 5D ' s a chance to enter the Divine Temple in order to shut it down . After Yusei defeats Z - one , the Divine Temple stops . Yusei then flies back to the Ener - D core of the Divine Temple to attach a positive Ener - D reactor so the temple will rise back up , believing this will be his final role to the city . However Z - one appears and sends Yusei out the temple saying that Yusei is the one to recreate a new better future for the city . He then sacrifices his own life to use the Ener - D inside of him to reverse the reactor ' s negative rotation . In the dub , the Grand Design is not completed after Aporia ' s defeat , and the Divine Temple doesn ' t appear during Team 5D ' s victory celebration . Non - canon appearances . This location appears in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s Tag Force 6 " .
