Chapter 357

"Interesting." The Light of Destruction was not angry at Tenjou Hikari challenging Him, but instead showed great interest.

"Fine, let's duel."

"However—"

"Before the duel, we must set the terms of the duel."

Tenjou Hikari frowned slightly and said: "Go ahead."

On the Light of Destruction's head, a light screen emerged, and then these light screens turned into images one by one: spirits, humans, machines, and even collisions between planets. These scenes were all, without exception, "destruction" and "war."

"The rules of the duel are still the duel rules you are familiar with."

"Beyond that, if you win, I will return the souls of your friends to you."

"If you lose, then you will replace this human and become my brand new agent, destroying all parallel dimensions."

"How about it? The conditions should be favorable to you."

The Light of Destruction said.

"Master?!" Serena was shocked when she heard such a request.

How did playing cards turn into this?

Destroying the world?

"Tsk, Tenjou Hikari is my god-favored one, he cannot become your agent." Tiera said on the side.

"Fine!" Tenjou Hikari agreed directly.

"Then..." The voice of the Light of Destruction gradually faded away. His face turned into a light shadow, leaving Saiou's body and shrouding behind him.

Immediately afterward, the original "Saiou" seemed to "come alive" again, his smile distorted, shuffling the Deck, and shouting wildly with a ferocious grin.

It seems that the Light of Destruction cannot duel directly and must have someone to exert His power.

Tenjou Hikari narrowed his eyes.

"Duel!" x2.

Tenjou Hikari, LP: 4000.

Shadow of Saiou, LP: 4000.

"My turn, draw!"

Tenjou Hikari didn't talk nonsense and drew a card quickly.

"Activate Continuous Spell Card, Brilliant Fusion!" Tenjou Hikari raised his right hand, a circular diamond appeared in his hand, and then he threw the diamond into the sky.

"As the effect processing when this card is activated, use monsters from your Deck as fusion materials to Fusion Summon 1 【Gem-Knight】 Fusion monster with its ATK/DEF becoming 0!"

"I send Gem-Knight Lazuli and Gem-Knight Sapphire from my Deck to the Graveyard. Fusion Summon!

Come—Special Summon in Defense Position, Gem-Knight Sapphire!"

Sapphire waved his cloak, and the shield-sword in his right hand emitted a clear silver light, guarding Tenjou Hikari's field.

Gem-Knight Sapphire, Level 6, EARTH, Aqua, DEF 0.

"Activate Equip Spell Card, Future Fusion!"

Tenjou Hikari immediately slapped another Spell Card on the field: "This card can send fusion materials from the Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon a Fusion monster, but the Fusion Summoned monster cannot attack this turn."

"I send Shaddoll Hedgehog and a DARK monster from my Deck, Destiny HERO - Malicious, to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion!"

"Fusion Summon!

Messenger of God!

Dark God Shaddoll, El Shaddoll Winda!"

Tenjou Hikari quickly Special Summoned a new Fusion monster on his field.

El Shaddoll Winda, Level 5, DARK, Spellcaster, ATK 2200.

Winda's phantom slowly emerged on the field, standing quietly beside Tenjou Hikari.

The shadow of the Light of Destruction looked at Tiera and instantly understood the situation.

Just as He possessed Saiou Takuma and took away Saiou Takuma's body, this unknown existence also, like Him, took a "vessel" of a spirit in the human world... that is, a "card" as His own body.

"It's not over yet. Shaddoll Hedgehog's monster effect activates when this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect. Add one other 【Shaddoll】 monster from the Deck to your hand!"

Tenjou Hikari opened his Deck and selected one from it: "I choose Shaddoll Dragon!"

"So amazing, he performed two Fusions at once." Saiou Mizuchi was surprised on the side, while Serena held her head high, seemingly proud of it.

"End turn."

Tenjou Hikari's thinking was very clear.

The first turn, restrict the opponent!

Based on the duel between Edo and Saiou just now, he could already see that Saiou's Deck actually had quite a few "modern" cards, and such cards, although stronger than the vast majority of Decks in this world, also had some problems because of this.

That is, Tenjou Hikari could use the strategy of restriction to block the opponent!

"The power of fusion, is this your talent."

"However, have you discovered that your talent is also a part of 【Destruction】."

Tenjou Hikari frowned, looking at the Light of Destruction in confusion.

The light shadow of the Light of Destruction spread its hands behind Saiou: "The universe originated from 【Light】, but light produced 【Dark】, and the two fought each other, thus producing this chaotic universe."

Under the narration of the Light of Destruction, the scene of the entire tower began to change. Tenjou Hikari, Mizuchi, and Serena suddenly discovered that they seemed to be standing in the universe.

In the universe, "collisions" occur anytime, anywhere. Galaxies collide, and small galaxies merge into larger new galaxies. In the universe, "destruction" is born at any time.

The universe is like this, and so are the world, humans, and spirits.

In the primitive era, humans were influenced by the Light of Destruction, thus producing disputes, battles, and wars, but the influence of the Light of Destruction on humans was minimal.

"The destructive impulse of humans originates from humans themselves. Whether it is gods or humans, desires never arise without reason, nor do they disappear without reason."

The thought of destroying others is hidden in the hearts of all existences.

Greed, gluttony, arrogance, anger, jealousy, control—all desires lead humans and spirits to want to destroy other existences to gain power, and thus, suffering and pain are produced."

"Since that's the case, why not just admit all this, be straightforward, and destroy everything? In this way, for you humans, there will never be suffering in the world again."

"No! You're wrong—" Before Tenjou Hikari could speak, Tiera spoke first, "Destruction is just an action. What destruction brings is never just simple death; likewise, there is also rebirth!"

"Weak galaxies are pulled by strong galaxies, so they merge into new galaxies, and only in this way can the two galaxies that were originally in a stalemate have enough kinetic energy to continue moving."

"Life is not just death; regeneration, reincarnation, and then inheritance—this is the meaning of biology!"

"Fusion is not destroying two monsters, but creating a brand new life!"

Tenjou Hikari looked at Tiera with slight surprise.

Subsequently, he felt relieved.

That's right.

She also has her own philosophy.

The Light of Destruction did not commit.

"Since that's the case, let's use reality to make you understand."

"Use 【Destruction】."

Accompanied by the fall of His voice, Saiou laughed wildly: "My turn, draw!"

"Activate Continuous Spell Card, Light of Destruction!"

A Continuous Spell Card appeared in front of Saiou, making Tenjou Hikari jump in surprise.

The card of the Light of Destruction itself?!
