The professors here seemed quite talented, so in the first few days after arriving, he hadn't felt too worried despite the outside blockade and the spirit attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until, every day, the spirits' offensive seemed to grow stronger, and that pitch-black power became increasingly severe; he could no longer study here with the mindset of leisure or vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the main area of Duel Academy and went to explore the most dangerous regions, searching for all potentially hidden dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was during such exploration in the distance that he was fortunate enough to save some students from remote areas, and thus brought them to the Duel Academy infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he saw Amon again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon at that time was completely different from the Amon he had seen in the dimension of the Forgotten. Gone was the usual indifference; instead, he was anxiously and nervously helping the teachers treat the students' wounds. Even though the injured were students of this school he didn't know, he acted as if he were the one being injured and bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he understood that the information he had investigated regarding Amon was by no means a disguise by Amon or the Garam Conglomerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he said last time in the dimension of the Forgotten, Amon truly wanted to create a world where everyone was equal and there was no harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Amon, during this time, I have seen you helping the teachers save students. I know you are not a person who would harm others. Everything hasn't started yet; it's not too late to stop now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aster drew a card, looked at Amon, and said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Aster's words, Amon calmly pushed up his glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Aster had been observing him, he had also seen Aster many times during this period. This professional duelist, who like him was not a student of this school and perhaps hadn't even attended many classes, was risking his life every day on the outermost perimeter for the sake of students he might not even know, searching for possibilities and rescuing students in crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this performance alone, he was worthy of his reputation in the world and deserved for so many young boys and girls to view him as an idol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He acknowledged the efforts of Aster and the others, but...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, the school's medical resources had completely collapsed; there was simply no way to support the teachers in housing and treating all the unconscious students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things went on like this, could they really hold out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those students with the weakest spirit power had already fallen into a coma, and others who had been attacked while protecting their classmates in the process had also fallen into a coma. As time passed, the students' conditions would only get worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When even people of his and Aster's level fell into a coma, who would be left to protect this school?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than waiting for death in silence, he believed it was better to fight to the death than to continue dueling with absolutely no hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, do you have any other methods?\" Amon retorted, \"If you had a way, you wouldn't be here blocking me, but would have seized the time to handle it, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Echo was completely confused. She had no idea what was happening, and then asked hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, she learned from Amon's calm words that Duel Academy Island was sealed and completely unable to contact the outside world. Hearing this, she looked at the people inside in disbelief—in her impression, Duel Academy was perfectly fine; she had even seen the news a few days ago saying it was thriving and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems the outside world's consciousness has been tampered with. No wonder there hasn't been any rescue outside the [Outer Wall] for so long.\" Amon calmly pushed up his glasses, lowered his head slightly, and the reflection of his glasses seemed to scrutinize Aster, \"Under these circumstances, do you have any other methods?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aster clenched his fist slightly and said: \"I believe there will be... Department Head Tenjou will definitely find a way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon looked at Tenjou Hikari and remained silent for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had indeed heard today that Tenjou Hikari and his group seemed to have found some special clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could those students wait until that time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he had no reaction, Aster knew he hadn't been persuaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, it seems we must duel after all.\" Aster placed his hand on his Duel Disk, \"Then, let's see just how strong your so-called [Absolute Power] is. If... that power cannot even be defeated by me, how could it possibly face the darkness looming over our heads?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My turn. Draw a card.\" Back to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew the card from his deck into his hand, then glanced down at it and played it directly: \"I Normal Summon Destiny HERO - Diamond Diamond Dude.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jaden's \"Soul Card\" was Elemental HERO Bubbleman, then Aster's \"Soul Card\" was this Diamond Diamond Dude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diamond Diamond Dude, his body embedded with diamonds, appeared calmly and looked into the distance at his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Diamond Diamond Dude's effect is to reveal the top card of my deck. If it is a Spell Card, send it to the Graveyard; if not, return it to the bottom of the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this effect sends a Spell Card to the Graveyard, I can activate that card's effect during my next Main Phase.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A contest of luck? But, how could it easily be a Normal Spell Card?\" Amon said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But—at this very moment, isn't our duel exactly like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the massive resentment that had once surrounded the dimension of the Forgotten began to emerge in the air again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon looked up at the sky, where a giant gate, tightly sealed by iron chains, slowly descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I am not mistaken, you already have at least 3 to 4 pieces of Exodia in your hand by now, right?\" Aster raised his hand, not flipping the top card of his deck, but asking instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon frowned slightly and looked at the 4 pieces of Exodia in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his understanding and control of his own deck, he dared to guarantee that his next draw would definitely be that card—Exodia the Forbidden One.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, as long as Aster didn't defeat him in one go this turn, he would be able to draw that card next turn and achieve victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... fate tells me that it doesn't seem to be that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fate? I don't believe in fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't believe in it either, but... it is fate that has reunited you and me here.\" Aster gently placed his finger on the top card of his deck, \"I think fate must also be telling me to do some things that I ought to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come, let's confirm this card—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew it with a swish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal Spell Card, Destiny Draw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Diamond Diamond Dude's effect: send this card to the Graveyard, and next turn, use this card's effect directly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diamond Diamond Dude raised his hand, and a Spell Card was sealed within a diamond, then slowly floated beside Aster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... this person is also amazing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newborn spirits of the Netherworld watched the two duelists' moves and felt that each one was completely different from the \"dueling\" in their impressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\" Amon watched this scene and sighed softly again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Aster was just as he had imagined, just like him—someone who possessed extremely strong abilities and could be certain that the cards he drew were definitely cards he could use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that, even so, it couldn't change anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proving that he possessed the same ability as himself was nothing impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many duelists could predict the flow of a duel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, many duelists could make predictions, setting Trap Cards on the turn they should be set, and then using the Trap Card that could just happen to defend against the next turn's offensive. This was not a rare ability; for excellent duelists, this was [a matter of course]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true duelist can control the flow of a duel—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A duelist's abilities might be similar or even identical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the [cards] are different. Exodia the Forbidden One is the genuine [strongest] monster. As long as you collect all 5 different pieces of Exodia the Forbidden One, you can achieve victory directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Air Circulation is destroyed by battle, I can draw one card from my deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, as long as my next card is Exodia the Forbidden One, then even if Aster Phoenix has the ability to win in one turn, the moment he attacks, I will have [won]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A duelist's abilities can be similar or identical, but a duelist's cards are different!\" Aster looked straight at Amon, his tone firm, \"Just as different people face crises and make different reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation where darkness has descended... the choice I have made is this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inserted a card into his Spell & Trap Zone: \"Polymerization!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polymerization!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon’s pupils contracted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The card that symbolized the highest [pride] of the Duel Academy main campus—Polymerization!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pride of Duel Academy, the top student of the main campus, the first-ranked student of Duel Academy, the GX tournament champion, the genius among geniuses, the absolute Fusion user...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The card beloved by Tenjou Hikari—Polymerization!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Duel Academy fell into crisis, when Duel Academy students were attacked, when people at Duel Academy fell into comas, only the Fusion Department had consistently, firmly, and steadfastly supported and believed in the school, believed in their Department Head, and believed that they could overcome this difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the [confidence] and [hope] brought by Tenjou Hikari of the Fusion Department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Polymerization, huh...\" Amon gradually understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that's it, Aster Phoenix is also a member of the Fusion Department, probably one of the excellent new students, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Tenjou Hikari.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polymerization, huh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can gathering everyone's strength defeat that unknown existence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked curiously: \"Polymerization, is it—are you trying to use Destiny HERO - Dystopia to win in one go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aster glanced at his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have a card in his hand that could change Dystopia's ATK and then destroy the opponent's monster to attack directly and win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, what I am going to show is the brand-new card I created after [understanding] fate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fusion requirements are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Three Destiny HERO monsters!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I fuse Destiny HERO - Disk Commander, Destiny HERO - Doom Lord from my hand, and Destiny HERO - Diamond Diamond Dude from the field!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon watched his opponent's move quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tenjou Hikari’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's that one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Star-Gazing]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hero of destiny, become the blade with which I control fate, and destroy the pitch-black future—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fusion Summon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Level 10.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Destiny HERO - Dominance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Destiny HEROes turned into black waves of energy; the three waves spun crazily in the air, then gradually transformed into a giant \"throne.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the throne, a pitch-black cape slowly spread out, fluttering in the wind. Underneath it, a mighty, fully-armored hero had already gently swung its huge, sharp sword, waiting for anyone who dared to challenge his [fate].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destiny HERO - Dominance, Level 10, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 2900.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ATK 2900? A bit higher than Dystopia?\" Amon didn't have the slightest emotional change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, up until this point in the duel, his [duel] hadn't been affected in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aster looked at his opponent. He remained silent for a long time before pointing at Amon's deck: \"Then, let me show you the power of [fate] that I have mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominance's monster effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This effect can only be activated once per turn, during my Main Phase.

Five cards flew out from the top of Amon's deck. After glancing at them, he placed one of the cards at the very back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It goes without saying—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exodia the Forbidden One!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Aster carefully checked the effects of the remaining cards, and after a moment of silence, he adjusted their order according to their danger level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Decided, let's do it like this—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominance swung his greatsword again, and the cards returned to their original place, staying quietly on top of Amon's deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Battle, Dominance attacks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominance extended his left hand, and a [D] mark lit up on it. Then, a streak of pitch-black turbulence blasted out, instantly destroying Air Circulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Dominance destroys a monster by battle, I draw one card,\" Aster said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...When Air Circulation is destroyed by battle, I draw one card.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them drew cards simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aster glanced at the card in his hand and silently put it away without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon looked at the card in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cloudian, huh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it reminding me to keep my original intention?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up at Aster.
