Chapter 15

The spirits of this world were unexpectedly very easy to talk to, and even quite enthusiastic.

After the duel ended, as Tiancheng Hikari and Jūdai left the prison, countless spirits surrounded them, blocking the road completely.

Some asked them what the human world was like, others asked how they came to this world, and some even asked if they were interested in swapping Decks. Of course, there were also some spirits who wanted to join them and become a part of their strength.

Among them, naturally, was Flame Swordsman, who had been quite interested in Tiancheng Hikari earlier and was extremely enthusiastic just because he had sent Thousand-Eyes Restrict to the Graveyard to Special Summon himself. Following Flame Swordsman to join the fun was Dark Flare Knight, who felt that following Tiancheng Hikari wouldn't be bad based on his performance.

Besides them, there were also "Cyber Blader" and "Dragon Warrior," who were also Fusion Monsters and came because they felt Tiancheng Hikari's words were quite bold. The latter was a valiant warrior, while the former was the ace monster of the original heroine "Asuka Tenjoin"... probably.

Because Tiancheng Hikari couldn't be sure if Asuka Tenjoin was the heroine, nor could he be sure if that woman who used Rituals actually considered her an ace monster.

But at least, she was very pleasing to the eye. Having such a female spirit to improve the aesthetics of his chaotic and twisted Deck was still very pleasing.

Regrettably, these two who came later were not like the two Flame Swordsmen; they were not willing to leave this dimension in their true forms, but instead gave Tiancheng cards.

It was a bit of a pity to be missing a spirit sister, but getting the cards was fine too.

And they also said that although they weren't their true forms, they still contained their power, which could assist other spirits and resist some evil forces.

Simply put, it could enhance the strength of Flame Swordsman and Dark Flare Knight, allowing Tiancheng Hikari to have more power when encountering evil spirits, supernatural forces, psychic powers, or natural barriers.

Don't take this as a joke; Tiancheng Hikari took it quite seriously after hearing it, because he knew—these things could all happen in the human world!

A bumper harvest, it could be called a bumper harvest.

With an extra Flame Swordsman, he wouldn't need to pair one Flame Swordsman with so many Flame Manipulators, and Cyber Blader was an excellent answer for "Metamorphosis." In a situation where LP was lower in this world, a Cyber Blader had a good chance of defeating the opponent by doubling its ATK with its effect.

He had some free time and looked back at Jūdai, only to see Avian pointing fingers at Jūdai with a condescending attitude, his mouth moving like a machine gun, talking non-stop, while Jūdai was smiling along, rubbing the back of his neck, looking quite embarrassed and awkward.

"In short, Jūdai, you think of Dueling too simply, and you think of heroes too simply!"

"If it weren't for that Tiancheng Hikari helping you, how would you have dealt with the Chaos Soldier that followed? Not to mention, I still had cards in my hand?"

"And that Blast Sphere! You didn't even ask me about Dark Fusion or the monster's effects, you just activated it blindly. Even though Tiancheng Hikari called out to you, if you had kept Blast Sphere, you could have directly destroyed the Ritual Monster that followed!"

Hmm...

It seemed that although this Avian was quite dark in color, he was still quite concerned about Jūdai.

And it looked like Avian really did know Jūdai!

Tiancheng Hikari watched Avian lecture Jūdai for half an hour before he finally fanned himself with his wings, hugged Jūdai, and turned into a card.

Seeing the card, Tiancheng Hikari's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gaia excitedly.

"What are you looking at? I will absolutely not go with a maniac from the Fusion faction!" Gaia stiffened his neck and said directly, "My life is to pave the way and be a vanguard for Lord Chaos Soldier, I will never defect to anyone else!"

Uh...

Tiancheng twitched his eyebrows: "Fine."

He shrugged.

From the card lore, it could be seen that initially, a "Gaia" crossed the baptism of light and darkness to become the warrior who opened the heavens and the earth, which was the original, strongest Chaos Soldier.

But in reality, Gaia has different "evolutions," just like Digimon or Pokémon. The same baby can evolve into different forms. In fact, Gaia covers almost all summoning methods, but "Gaia the Dragon Champion" is undoubtedly the largest branch, and this branch... is "Fusion."

"Gaia."

"Ah, Lord Chaos Soldier."

Before they knew it, the Great Beginning had arrived among them, and all the spirits knelt halfway to welcome this strongest warrior.

"After this battle, have you still not realized your own flaws?"

"This... My Lord, I..."

"You accepted the trial together with Avian. What Avian pursues is to make Duelists more heroic and fearless, while you were merely a friend called over. Yet, until the duel ended, you never got along with Avian and were constantly arguing with each other.

I can understand your friendship, but in the failure of the ritual, you two naturally each had your own mistakes.

The warrior from another world, when his teammate made a mistake, did not complain but instead trusted the other party and set a card capable of turning the tide.

And you, in order to show off your strength, activated a Trap prematurely.

You indeed should not follow this warrior to leave, because your training is far from enough!"

"This... I understand, Lord Chaos Soldier!" A trace of shame appeared on Gaia's face. He lowered his head and said sincerely, "Warrior from another world, this time, it was my failure. In the future, I will come to apologize."

Tiancheng Hikari and Jūdai looked at each other, then put on a smile and said softly: "It's okay!

Recognizing others is also a part of Fusion!

In your view, Ritual is the most respectable, and in my view, Fusion is the most noble. There is no difference, just different beliefs! So you don't need to feel embarrassed about this!"

After hearing Tiancheng Hikari's words, Gaia lowered his head even further.

Duel spirits are truly simple and honest.

If this were a real person, hearing such a lecture from Chaos Soldier, they certainly wouldn't accept it easily and would have to be stubborn.

Chaos Soldier nodded gently and looked at Tiancheng Hikari again, extending his hand. A purple light slowly radiated from his hand, and that light enveloped Tiancheng Hikari, gradually turning into a purple card that landed in his hand!

"Very well... warrior from another world, as promised, Gaia should have followed you, but since he cannot leave, let me personally give you the strength you deserve—this 【Fusion】 power within me is now yours."

Jūdai stood by, stunned.

Tiancheng Hikari was also repeatedly surprised.

"Dark Paladin - Chaos Controller!"

A Fusion Monster whose Fusion Materials are Dark Magician and a 【Chaos】 Ritual Monster!

As expected of the original Chaos Soldier, he could even share this kind of power!

Immediately after, Chaos Soldier raised his sword and drew a circle in the air. The circle began to spin wildly, and before long, a brand new hole appeared, and one could even see a completely different scene on the other side.

"Then, without further ado, I will personally send you back to your world."

"May I ask, Chaos Soldier, how do you intend to send us back?" Tiancheng Hikari was a bit curious.

And at this moment, the Great Beginning finally wore a smile: "You didn't think that when you were transported to this world, you were just in prison, did you?"

Eh!?

Ah—

When the two followed Chaos Soldier to a door, they finally understood.

It turned out that during their transportation, they had been directly "intercepted" by Chaos Soldier using his own power!

Now, they only needed to enter the dimensional gate to return to their own world!

"Warrior from another dimension, I welcome you to come again in the future." Before leaving, Chaos Soldier spoke once more, "However, guarding the Underworld is also my duty. I hope that after you return to your own dimension, you will not speak of the secrets of this world."

"Rest assured, Mr. Chaos Soldier!" Jūdai raised his right arm, flexed it, and patted his right bicep with his left hand, saying confidently, "We will absolutely not speak of the secrets of this world!"

"Jūdai is very familiar with that Avian, so we'll just say we arrived in a world of heroes." Tiancheng Hikari also looked at the sky, rubbing his chin, and thought of an excuse.

Chaos Soldier nodded gently: "Then, farewell. Warriors who pursue a higher realm."
