Chapter 289: The Slacker

The duel ended, and Feng Ge turned into food for the Earthbound Immortal and was swallowed by the Earthbound Immortal.

Tenjou Hikari looked up at the security police, then fixed his gaze on Ye La, and he raised his left hand: "Come down."

Ye La clenched his fists, his whole body was in a rage.

Being provoked by someone, especially by Tenjou Hikari, a duelist who was completely against them, even if he could endure it, he couldn’t endure it.

Moreover, when he came out, Akaba Reo specifically told him that if that Count was not capable enough and didn’t defeat Tenjou Hikari, then he should handle the subsequent matters.

He had almost taken the deck out of his clothes, but halfway through, he forced his spirit and put the deck back.

In the current situation, it is unwise to force a duel.

Although he had done enough research on Tenjou Hikari, and had tried certain methods to block Tenjou Hikari to win, he still lost in the end.

Of course, part of the reason was Feng Ge’s arrogance, which is why he lost the duel in the end.

But even if Feng Ge had been using his tactics, would he have necessarily won?

After all, Tenjou Hikari’s duel just now had proven one thing: even without using Spell cards, Tenjou Hikari could still perform Fusion and continue to duel.

So... Tenjou Hikari’s previous statement that their Fusion Army was not enough Fusion was not only belittling and looking down on them, but also telling the real, practical truth.

His fists clenched and creaked, he gritted his teeth, and finally didn’t make a move.

Now his "targeting" was all meaningless!

"Tenjou Hikari..."

"I understand. Since you want to prove that you are right so much. Then, next, I will truly use our [Fusion] to defeat you." After speaking, he jumped up and jumped higher.

"Tsk." Tenjou Hikari snorted coldly, feeling a bit listless.

Compared to defeating an S-dimension noble who popped out of nowhere, the Fusion Army gave him more motivation.

And...

At this time, he looked back at the Earthbound Immortal card in his hand.

A feeling also came from this Earthbound Immortal.

That is—lying flat.

This Earthbound Immortal fell into Tenjou Hikari’s hands without any movement at all. Theoretically, it possessed a very manic evil power that could induce the madness and evil thoughts in people’s hearts, but Ccapac Apu had no movement at all.

Tenjou Hikari tried to use his own power to contact this card, and could also feel that this card did not resist Tenjou Hikari’s probing at all, as if Tenjou Hikari could do whatever he wanted.

Lying flat.

Completely lying flat.

So that’s it—

Tenjou Hikari had some guesses.

This world is ultimately not the same world as the original work. In this S dimension, the biggest background "Unique God War" has happened countless times.

Perhaps occasionally other gods will win the final victory, perhaps occasionally the position of the Unique God will be replaced, but no matter what, even among the Earthbound Immortals, there are existences who are tired of this war.

The Ccapac Apu in Tenjou Hikari’s hand might be one of them.

After all, even if he didn’t choose Bommer from the original work, just picking his own Earthbound Immortal as his agent to participate in the "Unique God War," it’s impossible to just pick a person who has neither the spirit of a duelist nor the courage of a duelist.

It makes no sense, it’s impossible.

After all, even the Earthbound Immortal Geoglyph would choose a powerful Shinji to try to participate in the Unique God War. For a true god of Ccapac Apu’s level, there are plenty of people to choose from.

Therefore, it is very strange that Ccapac Apu appeared in the hands of a noble who sacrificed life and then wanted to obtain its power.

The reason is probably just that he doesn’t care at all.

Tenjou Hikari silently put the card away.

The good news is—

This thing is also called "Earthbound," so it can actually be used as a Fusion material for Geoglyph Squid, so Tenjou Hikari doesn’t need to worry about this card disappearing due to the power of Super Polymerization.

Now, although Ccapac Apu itself has no vitality, its power is real, and it can greatly supplement Tenjou Hikari’s duel energy and spirit power.

Although Tenjou Hikari’s own spirit power is already not low, under the blessing of Tierra, it basically belongs to the limit of humans, but if it can become higher, who would refuse?

Not only that!

After the duel was completely over, the figure of Geoglyph Squid also seemed to be completely liberated. Those shackles and restraints fell off its body, and finally turned into a card, flying into Tenjou Hikari’s hand.

Otherworld Resonance - Synchro Fusion!

The original version!

You know, the biggest difference between the anime version and the real card version is that the real card version is "Special Summon," which is neither considered a Fusion Summon nor a Synchro Summon.

In other words, the OCG version of Synchro Resonance in Tenjou Hikari’s hand can’t fuse Fusion Dragons, let alone Underworld Dragons.

What kind of "Synchro Fusion" is this?

It can’t even bring out the "Duel Dragons" of the S dimension!

However, the Synchro Fusion in the animation is different; it can be used directly as a Fusion and Synchro Summon, which is far stronger than the OCG version, by who knows how much.

Most importantly, its card name is different from the "Fusion" that Tenjou Hikari previously obtained from the Skeleton Knight.

Because the full name of the OCG version of Fusion is "Fusion - Ghost Fusion," even if Tenjou Hikari tried to manually create a Ghost Wyvern, he would have no way to search for the [Fusion] given by the Skeleton Knight. But this card has the exact same name as the OCG version of "Otherworld Resonance - Synchro Fusion," so it can be directly searched by the effect of "Earthbound Servant Line Walker."

Tenjou Hikari was overjoyed and hurriedly added the card to his deck.

Afterwards, he looked up at the track again, looking at the Security police: "So, are you still going to arrest me?"

The few police officers looked at each other, and finally, they all looked at Ushio.

Ushio looked embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and sighed: "Sigh, don't just treat me as your captain at a time like this, you brats."

"That, how should I put it, Tenjou Hikari, we are Security police, we cannot disobey the orders of the nobles. Since Count Finger has ordered that you can leave if you win, then go ahead. We will not stop you anymore."

"Ha..." Tenjou Hikari laughed twice, pushed his bike back onto the track, and put his helmet back on.

"Before I go, Officer Ushio. I don't know the specific situation of your dimension, but... I think, if a noble dies under your [protection], those nobles will surely blame you, right?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Ushio's face.

"That guy named Lilos just now... the organization behind him is called the [Fusion Army], a terrorist organization in our dimension that harbors the ambition to rule the entire dimension."

"What?" The embarrassed look on Ushio's face vanished instantly, replaced by shock.

"There is some good news: I happen to have the video of when they invaded the X dimension... That kid Manjoume is really well-prepared." Tenjou Hikari muttered to himself at the end, then pressed the switch on his device to transfer the video in his D-Wheel to the nearby police car, and said, "Here, take it... With this, you should be able to answer to your superiors. When it comes to matters of invasion—ha, it should serve as a pretty good bargaining chip, right?"

Tenjou Hikari did not know what the situation was like at the Security Bureau.

But he knew one thing: if Goodwin could strike the nobles once, he could do it a second, third, and countless more times.

After the video finished transmitting, Tenjou Hikari's eyes under the helmet looked at Ushio and added: "Officer Ushio, the events of these past few days should also, more or less, let you know a bit of the true [truth] of this world, and some of the nobles' true [thoughts], right?

I hope you make the right choice in the events to come."

"The events to come?"

Ushio looked blank.

Tenjou Hikari chuckled.

In the past, it was always others playing the riddle-master; today, he finally got to be the riddle-master for once.

However, it would likely only be a matter of a few days, so there was no need to explain it clearly.

He twisted the throttle and left his final words: "Then, farewell."

Afterwards, the D-Wheel accelerated automatically and sped away along the path he had come.

Ushio watched Tenjou Hikari's receding back, looked at his subordinates who were watching the video, and remembered Finger's words from before...

[A group of parasites wasting social resources, they aren't even fit to be human. It's their good fortune to contribute to a better future.]

To obtain power, directly sacrifice people to monsters?

How did his world turn into this!
