Chapter 127

The train successfully returned to the GX Tournament starting point, but Tenjou Hikari had no mind or time to think about other things.

First and most importantly, of course, was recovering the "Number cards." Although Tenjou Hikari also had the surname Tenjou, he wasn't the "Number Hunter" from the dimension next door, so he didn't have the method to take away Number cards directly—perhaps if he spent some time experimenting with alchemy, he could find that method, but clearly, he didn't have that time now.

Therefore, Tenjou Hikari had no choice but to let Tierra release her own power, forcibly pulling the assassin's soul out of his body, and incidentally taking out the card.

Tenjou Hikari stood on the train, trying to hold the card, and then felt some chaotic voices filling his mind. With no other choice, he shook his head and let Tierra keep the card.

There was no other way.

Perhaps he could learn from Kamishiro Ryoga in the original "Yu-Gi-Oh! Z4" and forcibly control [No.], but there was no need.

After all, Crazy Box had nothing to do with Fusion. If he put it in his deck for the sake of fusing "Elder Entity N'tss," that was somewhat unnecessary.

After dealing with the No. matter, there were still many troubles.

Tenjou Hikari almost didn't stop, and after getting off the train, he rushed to the Kaiba Corp station.

He had to confirm the status of all trains and confirm the status of the entire Critical Point dimension.

It was about what Tenjou Hikari imagined.

Dark World decided to attack human trains, so it definitely wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, but one that had been prepared and lurked for a long time, launching attacks on all trains under orders.

In the entire Critical Point dimension, almost all train tracks were attacked.

However, what surprised Tenjou Hikari was that under these circumstances, although many trains were attacked, almost half of the trains could still operate normally.

A part of them were students on the trains working together, using the power of spirits to fight against the demons of Dark World, successfully resisting the attacks.

Another small part was the Fusion Army soldiers resisting through guerrilla tactics—in this regard, they didn't want to be looted either.

These two were just a small part.

The real majority, the ones that truly rescued most of the classmates, was a unique force, a force Tenjou Hikari hadn't had much active contact with before.

The Society of Light!

They acted as if they had foreknowledge, knowing about the Dark World attack in advance, and took the initiative to protect the vast majority of students.

"What about those students!?" Tenjou Hikari didn't care about things like the Society of Light, but asked the Kaiba Corp people, "What about the situation of the students whose trains were blocked!?"

"Uh—they are trapped on the trains, currently barely resisting the demons."

"Give me a summary map!" Tenjou Hikari didn't want to hear useless information, pointed at the Critical Point map on the screen, and asked.

Perhaps frightened by Tenjou Hikari's momentum, or perhaps having received orders from his superiors, the staff member quickly took out a tablet and handed it directly to Tenjou Hikari, which clearly stated the status of those trains.

"Bus!"

Soon, a large bus was also arranged by Kaiba Corporation and transported to the front of the station.

Kaiba Corporation might have considered being attacked by spirits, but they didn't expect to encounter such a large-scale attack, so these ordinary employees were a bit lost for a short time, but fortunately, supplies were sufficient, and whatever Tenjou Hikari wanted, they could provide.

And while Tenjou Hikari was waiting for the things he needed to arrive, the broadcast also sounded in the station.

"Emergency notice, emergency notice—due to an attack by an unknown spirit force, please all duelists outside return to the station and wait."

"Emergency notice, emergency notice—"

"The GX Tournament is temporarily suspended. Students trapped on trains, please do not leave the trains without authorization. Kaiba Corporation will dispatch combat personnel to rescue you."

"Notice again, notice again, the GX Tournament is temporarily suspended..."

A soft female voice sounded in the station and on the trains. Tenjou Hikari listened to the voice and nodded gently.

Compared to the situation in the original work, because their world had long been in contact with spirits and other dimensions, and had experienced the Fusion Army invasion of Heartland, they actually had preparations in various aspects.

"The train is ready, Student Tenjou, how many drivers do you need to rotate—"

"No drivers needed!" Tenjou Hikari said while not talking nonsense, and ran toward the outside.

Along with his response, a huge silver-gray demon appeared in the sky, grabbing the bus with both hands. Tenjou Hikari reached out to open the bus door and jumped in directly. Then, the demon flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

While many people hadn't figured out what happened, and many people were in a panic, Tenjou Hikari had already taken the bus and flown out of the station. Watching Tenjou Hikari's figure moving away, the students in the station also had different expressions.

Clearly, they knew what Tenjou Hikari was in such a hurry for.

And precisely because of this, after the rescued students on the trains chatted about the things on the trains, Tenjou Hikari's name spread in this station again.

Some students who reacted quickly realized what Tenjou Hikari was going to do and quickly used their phones and various means to contact friends, starting to tell them to stay calm and tell them not to panic, that someone would come to rescue them.

And at this very moment, someone was still watching Tenjou Hikari moving away.

In the station, in a huge, clean white room, Saiou Takuma watched Tenjou Hikari's figure moving away, the corners of his mouth slowly spreading, opening his mouth: "Hehehehehe... Hahahaha..."

Fate—

Was even more favorable to him than he imagined!

Along with the diffusion of the light waves, this dimension would fall into the flames of war, and the wheel of fate would roll forward.

The GX Tournament was temporarily suspended, but this was even better!

He looked down at the deck at hand.

The deck was emitting a strange black aura.

This attack gave him a very big opportunity, allowing his Society of Light to "save" many, many students.

And these students, in a mood of "gratitude," would naturally be willing to listen to the voice of the Society of Light, so listening to the voice of fate would be a matter of course.

This way, the "power" he needed would become more and more sufficient.

But...

Still not enough.

Wanting to destroy all dimensions, having only this much power was still not enough.

The smile on his face slowly calmed down.

"Saiou-sama—Edo Phoenix is looking for you again!" A student of the White Society asked Saiou as usual.

Since Saiou came to the Critical Point, Saiou had never contacted Edo Phoenix, and Edo hadn't dueled at all during this time, not caring about the GX Tournament at all.

It wasn't that Edo couldn't walk without his good brother, but Edo learned through a certain channel that Saiou Takuma knew who his father's murderer was, but had never told him!

Compared to the duel tournament, the hatred of his father's murder was what Edo truly cared about. But his good brother clearly knew, yet never told him, and even deliberately distanced himself from him during this time, firmly refusing to see him. How could he accept it!?

"SAIOU!!! SAIOU!! Tell me, who exactly is it!!!" Even with demons surrounding the outside, even though the GX Tournament had passed for a month, Edo Phoenix still stood there like a rock, knocking on the door every day, wanting Saiou to come out and explain to him.

The smile that had just calmed down on Saiou's face suddenly grew larger, revealing a terrifying arc. The next second, his eyes also widened at the same time, erupting with scarlet blood light.

Good!

It's here!

[The First Light of Ruin]!

"I'll send someone to drive him away," the reporting student said as usual.

"No—let him come."
