Not far away, a man walked toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had long silver-white hair, wore a very formal red gentleman's coat, and used his long hair to block his left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands while laughing and came to a spot not far from Tenjou Hikari, greeting Tenjou Hikari.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His accent was very strange. To say it was broken English, he was, after all, a standard American, his father was a big casino boss in Las Vegas, and he was the son of a super-rich man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to say he spoke normally didn't fit common sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his speech seemed to be singing, with very strange ups and downs, as if in an opera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Pegasus, hello.\" Tenjou Hikari also returned the greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he glanced at the scene around him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari vaguely felt that this place was somewhat familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe, that's right, Tenjou-boy~ The place you are in now is where Kaiba-boy and I dueled back then~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Tenjou Hikari first came to this place, he actually had a slight sense of familiarity. He had a vague impression of the appearance of the surroundings, but he had never been to Industrial Illusions. Now seeing the various equipment and virtual image machines laid out nearby, as well as the huge \"Dueling Platform\" that could stand a few people, all made Tenjou Hikari feel somewhat familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't expect to come to this kind of place all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still vaguely a bit excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the excitement, he suddenly looked at Pegasus again, a trace of shock appearing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus still maintained a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari hesitated for a moment, immediately put his hand on the \"Emerald Book,\" and then, with a trace of hesitation, asked: \"I heard that Mr. Pegasus possesses the ability to read people's thoughts...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari knew that asking this kind of question at this time was somewhat inappropriate, but being instantly perceived in his inner thoughts, Tenjou Hikari was still instinctively on guard, so he took the initiative to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm~ that's right~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it openly and honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President?\" \"So this is true—\" Hayato Maeda and Ansel couldn't help but exclaim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were actually always very curious about the rumor that Pegasus possessed \"mind-reading,\" but the former had once been autistic in the dormitory of Duel Academy for several years, and the latter seemed to entertain others but was actually a pessimist. Neither of them were people who would ask Pegasus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were also genuinely curious, so when Tenjou Hikari asked, they also looked at Pegasus curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other people, such as the Paradox Brothers and Pegasus's bodyguards, didn't have that many reactions to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they were old employees and more or less knew some of Pegasus's secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Tenjou Hikari was a bit confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By logic, shouldn't Pegasus no longer have this mind-reading ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, Pegasus was originally famous as a painter, but his lover died young, and he gave up his dream of becoming a painter. In order to find a way to revive his lover, he went to Egypt and obtained the \"Millennium Eye,\" thereby possessing the ability to read minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point in time, his Millennium Eye should have been gone long ago. Could it still be like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mind-reading wasn't an innate ability like Sartorius's, so could it be retained?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Tenjou-boy~\" Pegasus gently rubbed his forehead, \"Me didn't want to deliberately read your inner thoughts just now either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari was a bit puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus shook his head gently, turned around, and signaled everyone to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through some commemorative buildings in front of Industrial Illusions, they gradually walked into the design layer of Industrial Illusions, which was more cutting-edge and simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While walking, a curly-haired designer from Industrial Illusions walked out of the studio, saw Pegasus, hurriedly bowed to him, and followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. France.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no, it's nothing, Mr. Pegasus.\" The gray-haired curly-haired man kept saying it didn't matter, while raising his eyebrows and winking at Hayato Maeda, looking proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>France...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a genius designer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari remembered this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the world of \"Yu-Gi-Oh! GX,\" card design wasn't a simple matter. Many cards were first \"spirits\" and then cards appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the \"Egyptian God\" cards made by Pegasus were all first stone tablets, and then Pegasus, through his personal ability, designed the Egyptian God cards, and then the \"souls\" of the Egyptian Gods transferred into the God cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, after that, the Egyptian God cards left this world accompanied by the soul of the Nameless Pharaoh. It was also Pegasus who, relying on his personal ability, copied a \"Winged Dragon of Ra\" for research.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another example was Aster's father, the famous \"Destroyer Card Maker\" Mr. Phoenix. Whether in the anime or manga, those bosses without physical bodies, or whose bodies had disappeared, all had to rely on his heaven-defying design talent to produce carrier cards or cards to break seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the Planet series or Destiny HERO - Plasma, all had to rely on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, the entire \"GX\" wasn't just him as a designer, nor was it that all the blame was thrown on Mr. Phoenix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Hayato Maeda later became a card designer and designed new environments and cards for Jaden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original work, this world also had other excellent designers, that is, the \"France\" in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Hayato Maeda, who paid more attention to art and \"design sense,\" France's idea was very simple: duelists all pursued more powerful cards, so the cards he designed were relatively powerful cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this idea, in the original work, Pegasus awarded the annual best to Hayato Maeda, which made France, who had always wanted to get Pegasus's recognition, resent Hayato Maeda, and to some extent, developed a jealous psychology toward Hayato Maeda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, France stole the \"Winged Dragon of Ra\" card used by Pegasus for research from the company, and then participated in the GX Tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people couldn't possibly use God cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one wanted to touch a God, they would be punished by the God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—France was a \"genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Mound of the Bound Creator\" he designed could even control the will of Ra, allowing him to use Ra to duel Jaden in the duel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this point alone, he could leave all other designers of the same era behind, without even looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because he had this talent that Pegasus actually valued him very much and wanted to cultivate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he didn't understand Pegasus's design philosophy—strength was one aspect, but more importantly, it was \"design sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that the France in this world didn't steal the card of the Winged Dragon of Ra, but he was still competing with Hayato Maeda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, a long time ago, me discovered this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus brought two designers he admired most, and Ansel, the \"Duel Academy Representative\" selected by Industrial Illusions, and walked while saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, just like you know, me possesses the ability to read minds... but, that was a long, long time ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus walked steadily forward while speaking: \"More than ten years ago, I wanted to revive my lover, developed evil thoughts, and forced quite a few people to duel me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, I obtained the [Millennium Items] that are circulating in the market now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, those stories are not exaggerated, but are things that Yugi-boy indeed experienced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus walked with his hands behind his back, not touching his left eye socket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Millennium Item I possessed, the [Millennium Eye], could read human hearts, allowing me to see what others were thinking. Precisely because of this, I could be invincible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After losing to Yugi, he gave up the previous things and prepared to be a rich boss with peace of mind, but didn't expect to be attacked, and his eye was taken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he was just an ordinary middle-aged uncle—at most, he had talent, could make Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, and his artistic attainments were unparalleled in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Paradox Brothers listened to Pegasus's self-introduction, their mouths twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, after that, Pegasus didn't really obsess over anything, just simply operated Industrial Illusions, promoted the development of Duel Monsters, and by the way, according to his own preferences, made all kinds of \"Toon\" monsters to collect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other things, he basically didn't ask about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the original \"Yu-Gi-Oh! GX,\" aside from his own designer's affairs, he only discussed with his acquaintance, Chancellor Sheppard, because he discovered the \"Light of Destruction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the latter was indeed a cosmic-level \"disaster\" that would threaten the entire Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But—\" Pegasus stopped in front of a huge laboratory, turned around, stood with his hands behind his back, smiled gently, and said to the people around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About two years ago, me suddenly discovered that me accidentally heard\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About two years ago, me suddenly discovered that me had accidentally heard someone's inner voice again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\" \"Wow—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari listened to the story in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus nodded and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, he thought he was experiencing auditory hallucinations, thinking he was still that person who possessed the Millennium Item, but later, as the voices he heard became more accurate, he gradually realized that he seemed to truly be able to hear others' inner voices again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he was actually very nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he actually knew about the \"Saiou Takuma\" affair—he was one of the few in this world who had discovered the \"Light of Ruin\" in advance and made preparations for it, so he knew that the Light of Ruin could enhance this ability, making those infected by the power of the Light of Ruin more inclined toward destruction and ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, he gradually discovered that his situation was different from Saiou Takuma's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was indeed able to hear people's inner voices once again, he actually could not actively listen to people's inner thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more like a return and an incidental bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he began to consider another possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namely, \"Spirit Adaptability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he did not actually have the ability of Spirit Power; he himself could not see spirits, and without the Millennium Item, he could almost never accomplish these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the emergence of dimensional exploration and the development of the concept of \"Spirit Adaptability,\" Pegasus, as the world's number one designer and the president of Industrial Illusions, naturally had to work hard to train this ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of anything else, being able to see spirits was quite tempting to Pegasus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, if he could see \"Toon\" monsters, he would be very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in his spare time, Pegasus was also learning methods to improve Spirit Adaptability. Over these few years, it had gradually increased to a fairly high level, reaching a nine-star level, far higher than Tenjou Hikari, a student who had only just started learning for less than two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, it is not much different from me's guess—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he no longer had the Millennium Item, with the increase in Spirit Adaptability, he once again possessed the ability to hear others' inner thoughts, and it seemed that the higher the Spirit Adaptability, the clearer the voices he could hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that this year, upon hearing France's lack of understanding and confusion regarding his own actions in his heart, he had a burst of inspiration after watching Tenjou Hikari's duel and created the \"Magistus Invocation\" specifically to assist with Fusion, and through this, conveyed his thoughts to all the designers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strength is always secondary; the philosophy of their designers at Industrial Illusions is always to combine design, spirituality, strength, and art. Purely pursuing strength is not a mindset a designer should have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on this mind-reading ability that had returned to his body, he resolved the small conflicts within the company and counseled France's thoughts, preventing France from wasting time—as for the competition between France and Maeda Hayato, he did not pay much attention to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People need to compete with each other to progress faster; besides, Maeda Hayato had a sloth-like personality if no one was chasing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mind-reading ability made Pegasus very satisfied, as if he had returned to the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected of Mr. Pegasus! Too strong!\" France, this super fanboy of Pegasus, immediately shouted excitedly, not minding at all that he had once been mind-read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Pegasus closed his eyes and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second \"turning point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on his face gradually faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, mind-reading is a quite powerful ability; countless gamblers yearn to obtain \"mind-reading\" so that they can easily see through the dealer's actions and easily know which is the choice that will \"make a big profit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus, who had seen through the stupidity of gamblers since he was a child and had even once become a \"gambler\" to resurrect his lover, knew deeply that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world, just as he was \"gifted\" the Millennium Eye back then, which was never \"luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for this past year, he had been researching and exploring why he had regained the ability to read minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally discovered it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, everyone, be careful—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus turned back and signaled for the two bodyguards to open the door. The bodyguards looked at each other, nodded, and came to the main gate, first entering the password to unseal the mechanical lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, after the electronic password was unlocked and the first layer of the door was opened, what appeared before everyone was actually a new layer of the door closed by a metal spiral lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two bodyguards struggled to rotate the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people could not help but swallow their saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus being so cautious in telling everyone to be careful, and the sealed door having so many heavy layers, could not help but make them feel pressure and nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second layer of the metal security door was slowly unlocked, and then, the door was slowly pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What appeared before them was a hollow, pitch-black room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, a golden flash lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air instantly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat seeped from Maeda Hayato's forehead, and the relaxed smile was gone from France's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Labyrinth Brothers gasped, and the two bodyguards hurriedly dodged away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by being swept by the light, the group felt as if their bodies were being pierced, filled with a cold and chilling sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the next second...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, an [Eye] slowly opened. The eye scanned everyone, and almost everyone felt as if their throats were being choked, filled with a sense of suffocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maeda Hayato was so scared that he hid directly behind France, and France was also sweating and trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wh, what is going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if he had been seen through all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari blinked. Beside him, Tierra had already automatically flown out, whispering \"Wow...\" in amazement, sizing up the [Eye] in the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Mr. Pegasus, this, could this be the legendary...\" someone asked with a shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm~~ That's right, hahahaha~~ This is exactly the... [Millennium Eye] from the story of the King of Games that has been passed down!\" Pegasus joked and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Millennium Eye? Mr. Pegasus, could it be that you have recovered—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... not recovered.\" Pegasus shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is not the real [Millennium Eye]... no—that is not the [physical] Millennium Eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus gently tapped his forehead, then continued to explain: \"What should I use to describe it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That should be the... spirit of the [Millennium Eye]?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Millennium Items also have [spirits]!?\" France exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Millennium Items have any spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari frowned as he looked at the Millennium Eye in the darkness, then hesitated and pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not the Millennium Eye, but the \"spirit\" of the Millennium Eye?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Illusion Demon]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Tenjou Hikari's impression, Illusion Demons were a \"brand new race\" of monsters released not long ago, and the biggest feature of this race of monsters was that every monster was bound to have an [Eye] mark on its body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After more than a year of research, me gradually discovered that me did not regain the talent for mind-reading, but rather attracted the power of a past soul.

Plus, his physical fitness, without the Millennium Eye, was notoriously poor. After being defeated, he almost spent a month in a hospital bed. Knowing he couldn't do this, he started looking for someone who could do this for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the process of dueling the [Eye], although he did not defeat his opponent, he also learned what kind of possibilities those \"brand new monsters\" were, so he knew he needed an excellent person who possessed the possibility of [Fusion].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then... who else could this [possibility] be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari barely nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus then said: \"Very sorry, I did not tell you beforehand what you were coming to do.

By the way, I also entrusted Mr. Muto Sugoroku to use the Forgotten World to test your resilience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result is undoubtedly perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are indeed the duelist I need!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Tenjou Hikari realize that there were such details involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Labyrinth Brothers looked at each other; the older brother shrugged, and the younger brother spread his hands indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really thought Pegasus called Tenjou Hikari over because he wanted to duel an excellent junior, so they wanted to see Pegasus make a fool of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For so many years, although Pegasus had made many new cards, he really hadn't dueled much in over a decade; he couldn't even handle a Duel Disk properly. They actually really wanted to see Pegasus duel Tenjou Hikari, this excellent and powerful duelist of the new era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, they couldn't see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining everything, Pegasus bowed and apologized to Tenjou Hikari solemnly. Under the surprise of the surrounding people and Tenjou Hikari's support, he stood up and began to recount his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the father of Duel Monsters, it was hard for him to accept that a \"brand new race\" was right in front of him, yet he could only watch and could not touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he really wanted to cross the [Eye].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Pegasus, if that's the case, then let me do it!\" France shouted, preparing to take his deck out of his pocket directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Pegasus, he was prepared to take out the \"Domain of the Gods\" that he had never dared to let Pegasus see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus, however, shook his head: \"Mr. France, you are a genius designer, but you are also just a genius designer. If it were just about defeating the [Eye], then it is not that there is no one in the world who can defeat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But—me needs to defeat the Eye while simultaneously preserving the brand new possibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing requires a specialized person to be competent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from Tenjou Hikari, he did not see a second person. Even his most admired Edo and Johan did not have the talent for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari knew that Pegasus at this time probably hadn't seen Judai's duels, otherwise there should have been another choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, Tenjou Hikari didn't mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had already secretly heard from Maeda Hayato beforehand that the current Pegasus could be said to be terrifyingly weak in terms of dueling, and it might be difficult for him to have an evenly matched duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that's the case, it doesn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Pegasus, actually you could have told me about the situation here in advance, so I could have had preparations in advance—however, since you trust me so much, then I will not let you down.\" Tenjou Hikari lit up his Duel Disk, \"Then leave it to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! As expected of Tenjou boy!\" Pegasus couldn't help but applaud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then...\" Pegasus took a card out of his suit and handed it to Tenjou Hikari with a smile, \"Then, this card is handed to you. Regardless of whether you can defeat [him], me believes that the person most suitable for this card should be you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fusion Birth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari's eyes lit up suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too strong—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari cheered in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed to be the first time Tenjou Hikari had received a \"prize\" before a duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The card Fusion Birth is a Normal Spell card that can be directly searched by Magistus Invocation. Regardless of whether he can fuse or not, sending 5 cards to the Graveyard is a profit for his deck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Pegasus added that if Tenjou Hikari defeated the [Eye], then in the future, he would definitely give the [Brand New Race] cards to Tenjou Hikari in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's even better—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who said artists are crazy? This is great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari walked into the room, the door slowly closed automatically, and in the darkness, Tenjou Hikari stared at that [Eye].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the room suddenly lit up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless lights shone on the floor, and Tenjou Hikari finally saw the structure of the entire room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a large-scale duel arena. After that [Eye] floating in the sky hovered for a long time, it flew to the other side of the duel arena, then emitted golden light again, and after shining for a while, it gradually transformed into a phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phantom of a man in a red gentleman's coat with long silver-white hair, looking refined and courteous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The designers and employees who were watching the scene inside from outside the door exclaimed simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Mr. Pegasus couldn't solve it by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out the opponent is [himself]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several people looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [current] Mr. Pegasus will never be able to beat another version of himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pegasus, outside the huge laboratory, picked up the microphone and said to the inside: \"Tenjou boy, be careful, that [Eye] possesses the ultimate mind-reading ability. Even if you have any magic techniques to avoid mind-reading, it cannot be avoided!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that's it, that is indeed difficult to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari flicked his left hand, and the Duel Disk automatically unfolded, lighting up with a faint purple glow. Opposite him, that figure wore a smile, lifted his left hand slightly, and it transformed into a translucent Duel Disk with an \"eye mark.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Duel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari, LP: 4000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadow of the Millennium Eye, LP: 4000.\u003C\u002Fp>",4167,"2026-06-17T19:41:53.716Z","2026-06-18T03:18:02.290Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6be03f332cbeaa410cb00e24995af88a185d5a340aea3fe80a8f92f6fff55274","fusion-is-the-noblest-summoning-method-chapter-325","fusion-is-the-noblest-summoning-method-chapter-323",608,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffusion-is-the-noblest-summoning-method-cover.jpg"]
