Chapter 367: Lightsworn

The Lightsworn slowly descended from the sky. At a rough glance, there were probably hundreds or thousands of spirits—a staggering number.

What surprised Tenjou Hikari even more was that among this group of Lightsworn spirits, there were many draped in "black" robes.

Twilightsworn, is it...

Tenjou Hikari raised an eyebrow.

"Wow, angels! Angels have come to save us!"

Quite a few students were incredibly excited. Because of the image of angels in various forms of entertainment, many were willing to believe that angels would help humanity. Therefore, seeing these Lightsworn spirits did not fill them with fear.

In fact, as these spirits descended from the sky, they indeed did not launch any attacks.

Relatively speaking, they could certainly be called "friendly."

"Humans—" A Lightsworn dragon flew in the air and called out, "We are spirits from the World of Justice. We have heard the wailing and suffering of this land."

The dragon began to explain the reason for their appearance here.

The Lightsworn World possesses the power to hear prayers. If someone prays for a righteous person to save them from their suffering, then they might hear it and descend into the world.

The reason they descended this time was that they heard the suffering of this dimension and heard the prayers of the humans.

"Wow!!!"

"That's great!!!"

"To think such a dimension exists!" Many students were so happy they couldn't help but cheer.

"However..." The dragon suddenly changed its tone, "This world has already been fully invaded by the spirits of the Dark World. With us alone, we cannot annihilate all the demons while simultaneously protecting you!

Therefore—"

As they spoke, a light like the daze of twilight slowly began to glow on the bodies of some Lightsworn spirits.

"We will completely destroy this dimension. Please leave this dimension immediately and return to your own world!"

Once these words were spoken, the students who had just been excited were suddenly like they had been doused with cold water, freezing in place.

A Kaiba Corporation employee spoke up almost instantly: "How can that be? The students are spread out across various regions of the Threshold. The Dimensional Gate is only at this location. Even if we were to gather them all, we have to be careful of demons attacking on the way. This is too dangerous!"

"And there are still many students currently in the closed zones of the Spirit Duelists; they can't receive the message at all!"

"Yeah, my friend doesn't even know what's happening yet!"

"Besides, even if we all leave, there are still many spirits here! Are you going to kill them all too!"

The crowd began to chatter noisily. At this moment, they no longer focused their attention on the "angels," but began to worry about the safety of themselves and their friends.

The Lightsworn dragon didn't refuse immediately, but flew in the air and looked at several Lightsworn warriors. They chattered and discussed among themselves for a while. After reaching a conclusion, the Lightsworn dragon explained: "Apologies, humans.

The demons of the Dark World are an evil force invading countless dimensions. They usually fight us while scattered across different dimensions. This time, however, they have concentrated their forces in a massive way to come to this dimension. There must be an ulterior motive.

Perhaps they even want to invade all spirit worlds once again.

To prevent further complications, we must fight a decisive battle against them in this dimension. We must eradicate evil completely... therefore, we must be as fast and as decisive as possible.

We can reserve three days for you; this is already the limit. As for the local spirits, you don't need to worry about that. We will find a way to repatriate them to their own dimensions or take them directly to the World of Justice."

The Lightsworn are, after all, righteous people; they wouldn't truly kill every living thing they see in this dimension. They would certainly find a way to protect other life forms.

But...

"Three days, no, that's not enough at all! Even if the children in the furthest places take the train, they won't make it in time!"

"This won't work, and we still have..."

"Shut up—" A female general draped in a black robe held a giant longsword glowing with red light, like a fallen black knight. "For the sake of justice, this is also a necessary sacrifice. If you do not leave, then we will have no choice but to destroy you along with them!"

Countless people were left breathless.

What kind of talk is this!?

"General Jain, it hasn't reached that point!"

"Yeah, Jain!" Even among the Lightsworn, there were those trying to persuade her.

Tenjou Hikari watched from afar. Beside him, Tiera said with interest: "This spirit looks like she has been influenced by the power of that cosmic god."

"I see. Even among those influenced, there are different situations and different directions. This spirit seems to have just become extreme. She doesn't have split personalities like Zai Wang."

Tenjou Hikari nodded.

The Lightsworn are, after all, warriors under the Archangel Michael, fighting for justice and dying for justice; they wouldn't turn evil to that extent.

However, it doesn't look too serious; at most, it's the state of the Light Monarch.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his voice, drawing the attention of the Lightsworn: "Lightsworn spirits, no matter what you say, we will not agree! For us, for the school, and for Kaiba Corporation, taking all the participating students away safely, leaving this dimension, and completing the tournament—that is justice!"

"It's Hikari!"

"Tenjou Hikari—"

"Yeah, we still have Tenjou Hikari!"

Hearing Tenjou Hikari speak, the recognition and trust brought about by his performance during this period gave the students a backbone.

Many students even instinctively shouted: "Duel! Let's use a duel to convince each other!"

"Yeah, you should be able to accept that!"

That's fine, no need.

"A duel?" Some Lightsworn spirits looked at each other. "When different justices cannot convince each other, deciding the outcome through a sacred dueling ritual is indeed the most acceptable way."

"That human looks very respected; he is the leader among these human warriors."

"Then..."

"Let me do it!" Jain waved her cloak and slowly descended from the sky. A group of spirits looked at each other and followed her down.

She shook out her cloak and stood the greatsword upright beside her. Then, the greatsword slowly began to transform, gradually turning into a Duel Disk with a black base and red patterns, which then automatically attached to her arm.

Tenjou Hikari slowly walked out of the crowd, stood on the dueling field, and opened his own Duel Disk. It opened automatically, he placed his deck inside, and then it shuffled automatically.

"The rules of the duel are a standard single duel." A giant dragon of light circled in the air. "The winner will have extraordinary say. If you win, we can assist you; if you lose, then please leave this dimension quickly and do not get involved in the flames of war—

So, humans, do you really accept this person to duel on your behalf?"

No one had any objections.

"Then, let's begin—"

Tenjou Hikari, LP: 4000.

Twilightsworn General Jain, LP: 4000.
