Chapter 285: Personal Appearance

Hum—

As Tenjou Hikari advanced, the purple light path also rose on the sea surface.

Tenjou Hikari looked under the sea surface. Vaguely, he could see the huge geoglyph drawn on the seabed.

No wonder it couldn't be found at all by normal means; it turned out to be buried under the sea surface.

If it weren't for Yusei, he really wouldn't know how long it would take to find this place.

Boom, waves surged from all around, as if trying to slap Tenjou Hikari down, rolling in.

Seeing the waves about to slap on Tenjou Hikari's body, accompanied by a dragon roar, a pitch-black skeleton dragon slid across the sky, instantly forcing the surrounding waves back.

Underworld Dragon flew with Tenjou Hikari, howling on the sea surface.

Tenjou Hikari could feel the emotion coming from Underworld Dragon.

It seemed that it was also excited.

"Wooooo——————"

In the deep sea, the sound of something rang out.

Tenjou Hikari suddenly felt his left hand a bit hot. He glanced at his left hand. At this time, the red-black Dark Mark finally emitted a strange color.

Is it coming?

Boom, bang!

Several tentacles like pillars reaching the sky rose from the sea. There were even strange patterns drawn on the tentacles. Unknowingly, a huge, terrifying creature rose from the pitch-black sea.

A moment later, the sky also became gloomy. A huge black-purple squid that covered the sky and the sun rose from the sea, opened its bloody mouth, and roared.

"It's it!" Mud Dragon King exclaimed in a low voice.

Earthbound Servant Geoglyph Squid!

That evil god responsible for supervising it!

After the Geoglyph Squid rose from the sea, it didn't hesitate at all, raised its tentacles, and slapped Tenjou Hikari.

"Roar!!" Seeing the tentacles slap down, Underworld Dragon didn't have any fear at all and rushed toward the tentacles.

The tentacles and claws touched together, erupting with strong, special colors different from the recognition of duelists in this world.

The eerie colors exploded with powerful heat centered on the collision of the two, forcing both to retreat a bit.

"Roar..." After touching hands, Underworld Dragon slowly flapped its wings, but didn't take advantage of the victory, instead flying backward and retreating a distance.

"Aooooo！！！！！！"

Only to see the Geoglyph Squid roar to the sky after a short collision.

The seawater on the sea surface seemed to start boiling.

"Roar!!" Underworld Dragon roared along, and a tear even fell from the corner of its eye, falling onto the sea surface.

Countless years ago, before humans were born, it and the Geoglyph Squid actually already knew each other.

The gods created the power of "Synchro." Each god had the Synchro power they mastered, such as the "Hundred-Eyes Dragon" of the giant before, and the negative Synchro power mastered by its "boss."

But among these countless gods, dragons, and subordinate gods, there were also some mavericks, like it, like the Geoglyph Squid.

Its luck was very good. To this day, it hadn't been kicked out of the "Duel Dragons." Although it didn't follow a "Signer" now, it had a master more worthy of trust. But the Geoglyph Squid was different—the master it followed couldn't even protect itself, naturally unable to protect it.

So, when it saw the Geoglyph Squid actually start an indiscriminate attack on Tenjou Hikari without even starting a duel, it moved immediately, wanting to wake up its "old acquaintance."

As a result, the familiar collision made it unable to help but shed tears.

"Geoglyph Squid, why, are you attacking Mud Dragon King?" Tenjou Hikari asked loudly on the sea surface.

Although he promised Yusei to help him find the "Geoglyph Winged Dog Demon," before that, there was content more urgent for him.

The huge squid seemed to regain some sanity because of Underworld Dragon.

It looked at Tenjou Hikari riding on the sea surface and saw the Dark Mark on Tenjou Hikari's left hand, which was emitting strange red light.

That was the mark of its "leader"!

"Swish——"

Its countless tentacles couldn't be controlled at all and slapped the sea surface.

Although it regained its sanity, it seemed that because of the shackles and restraints, it still had to fulfill its duty and complete its "duty."

Tenjou Hikari easily crossed various difficulties under the slapping of sea waves and tentacles, showing "riding acceleration skills" that made the Geoglyph Squid extremely amazed—although Tenjou Hikari actually couldn't drive at all, the D-Wheel drove itself, and Tenjou Hikari was only responsible for providing energy.

However, regardless of the reason, since Tenjou Hikari could avoid its attacks so easily, it had the energy to barely resist its enslavement and answer Tenjou Hikari's questions.

It raised a tentacle, pointed at Underworld Dragon, and then pointed at Mud Dragon King.

Mud Dragon King scratched his head in confusion and asked: "What on earth does it mean?"

The squid had no way to speak.

It was trapped by countless chains and shackles, and didn't even have the chance to communicate.

"Mud Dragon King and Underworld Dragon... do they have anything in common—could it be, are you trying to say, because Mud Dragon King has the power of the Crimson Dragon?" Tenjou Hikari suddenly remembered Mud Dragon King's experience.

The reason Mud Dragon King became a Synchro monster was because it once received the blessing of the Crimson Dragon, so it obtained a part of the power of Synchro.

The Earthbound Immortal that controlled the Earthbound Servant seemed to be acknowledging Tenjou Hikari's guess.

"So that's it..." Even Mud Dragon King understood it at this time.

During this period, he followed Tenjou Hikari to learn many secrets of this world, so he also knew about the competition for "Synchro" in this dimension.

And, the god who saved it at that time seemed to be the current [Only God], so it was very normal for it to be targeted by the Earthbound Immortal and sent a special "slave" to press step by step.

If it was just because Mud Dragon King suddenly appeared and offended it, so it wanted to kill Mud Dragon King, but later found that Mud Dragon King actually received the help of the Crimson Dragon and had a trace of the Crimson Dragon's Synchro power, then the Earthbound Immortal controlling the Earthbound Servant would absolutely not let Mud Dragon King go!

It wanted to take away the "Crimson Dragon" Synchro power in Mud Dragon King's body.

Because it wanted to ascend!

Suddenly, a tentacle shot out from the seabed and attacked Tenjou Hikari, who was completely unprepared.

"Hikari!" Mud Dragon King exclaimed.

Underworld Dragon, which was still reminiscing, was scared into a cold sweat and hurriedly turned around, rushing back like crazy.

However—

Slap.

Not even a ripple was affected. The tentacle slapped at a position a few centimeters away from Tenjou Hikari, not even making his body tremble.

Tierra had already appeared beside Tenjou Hikari at some point, yawning: "I thought there would be a duel, why is it an obstacle race? Accelerate quickly, don't worry about obstacles. Tenjou Hikari."

Underworld Dragon and Mud Dragon King slowly slowed down.

"Heh..." Tenjou Hikari chuckled twice, then stepped on the throttle and rushed forward crazily.

Even if the Geoglyph Squid

"Wooooo——————" The Earthbound Squid on the surface of the sea let out a long, drawn-out sound, as if a sea vessel were blowing its whistle.

It sounded like weeping, and also like relief.

Snap.

Snap——

The chains bound to its body and the countless shackles locked onto its tentacles began to shatter.

It let out a final cry on the sea surface, then transformed into specks of purple fragments, vanishing into the air. In the end, it completely turned into a card, wrapped in purple light, and flew before Tenjou Hikari.

Tenjou Hikari caught the card, and the next moment, countless images flashed before his eyes.

Some of these images were things the Earthbound Squid wanted to tell him through its memories, others were the method to find the "Earthbound Winged Dog Demon," and more importantly...

Finally, in the Earthbound Squid's memory, there was a giant god whose entire body was burning with raging fire, controlling countless giant snakes.

His appearance caused the earth to burn spontaneously; his appearance caused the spirits to kneel in worship.

"Human, who gave you permission to look directly at me!?" Suddenly, he [turned his head] to look at Tenjou Hikari.

The giant god swung his fist down, and the entire planet trembled because of it.

It struck down in the direction of Tenjou Hikari's gaze.

He in the memory had actually noticed Tenjou Hikari!

Tenjou Hikari opened his eyes abruptly, and even Ye La gasped.

During the memory sharing, she had also seen that existence——

What kind of existence was that?!

Even she had actually felt a trace of... fear!

Tenjou Hikari slowly rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

Earthbound God... Scarlet Nova!

The true god of the Earthbound Gods!

At the same time.

In the Upper City, located in the aristocratic court of District [2], a group of nobles were unusually dressed in formal attire, waiting in front of a device.

The next moment, a massive dimensional gate slowly rotated, and a group of soldiers walked out from within, lining up on both sides of the path.

A group of nobles wore smiles on their faces, looking toward the dimensional gate with rare "flattering" smiles.

Finally, at the very end, a middle-aged man wearing a purple professor's uniform and a cape strode out from it.

"Oh my, oh my, Professor Akaba, I never expected you to come in person—haha."

"Respected Duke, greetings." Leo Akaba replied politely with an expressionless face.

"Hahaha, I never imagined you would want to come and visit in person. Then, without further ado, I shall lead the way for you to that Land of Scarlet you wish to see."
