Chapter 407: The Answer of Fusion (Monthly Ticket Campaign—Request for Monthly Tickets)

The Saw Lion looked at Tiancheng Guang.

At this moment, they realized the importance of this man.

Just as before, this human had consistently held the upper hand in his duels against the Fusion Army, even using fusion to defeat No. 24, the "invincible" one in its heart.

As a duelist, he was indeed exceptionally skilled.

Moreover, he could even perform fusion using Synchro monsters.

No, no, no—

It calmed down and thought carefully, suddenly feeling a terrifying sensation.

All along, it had feared only that unknown deity; its race, the Magic Toys, had suffered too many wounds recently, so its mind was entirely consumed with how to survive in this environment, paying no attention to other details.

Thinking this through, this human named Tiancheng Guang's performance in duels was terrifyingly extraordinary!

After all, in duels, that deity had placed immense trust in this human!

This human was no ordinary being!

It respectfully welcomed Tiancheng Guang, even secretly revealing the padded sole of its palm, hoping to lift him up so he could speak with all the spirits.

But Tiancheng Guang did not follow its intention; instead, he walked directly to the spirits among the Magic Toys, giving them a brief glance.

Then he spoke softly: "My name is Tiancheng Guang—the human Tiancheng Guang, the fusion Tiancheng Guang, a duelist devoted to pursuing ultimate fusion."

"My belief is singular: fusion is the noblest form of summoning."

The young spirits exchanged glances, some PTSD-afflicted ones even hiding behind older spirits.

The Saw Lion, startled, immediately retracted its claws and hesitantly asked: "Lord Shikari, are you also of the Fusion Army?"

"No, I am myself," Tiancheng Guang said calmly.

"Do you have any questions?" He stood before all the spirits.

After Ye La's earlier questions and his own observations, he had fully confirmed the true state of the Magic Toys.

First, the Magic Toys were not an ancient spirit race; on the contrary, they were very young, with no more than a few decades of history. Their prototypes were various frightening toys from the world, representing "fresh blood" among spirits.

This matched Tiancheng Guang's observations almost exactly.

He could confirm that, besides the plush animals and sharp little demons, the Magic Toys' fusion monsters consisted only of wolves, tigers, bears, and lions—even counting the sheep that may have perished without rebirth, there were only these few types.

Not to mention the highest-tier fusion monsters like Nightmare Mary or Cruel Orca; even "Raging Chimera," which Yu Yunyuan from Yu-Gi-Oh! A5 particularly favored, was absent.

Yes.

The highest-tier Magic Toy in the entire group was, in fact, this very "Saw Lion"—and according to its own account, it had evolved into its current form only after battling a Dimensional Duelist.

Thus, the Magic Toys were truly primitive.

Yet precisely because of this, they were even more suited to Tiancheng Guang's needs.

Tiancheng Guang had come to this dimension specifically to collect Magic Toys.

But he clearly understood, from every angle, that the Magic Toys must be connected to the Fusion Army.

Now, the Magic Toys were barely beginning; though their understanding of fusion was somewhat skewed, it appeared mostly due to long-term cooperation with the Fusion Army leading to misconceptions.

These could all be corrected in time.

After a long silence with no spirit asking questions, a plush toy trembled and raised its hand; its companion was startled and tried to stop it, but it had already raised its hand.

"Alright, ask."

"Um, human—you used Synchro Summoning, so why…?"

To start with such a sharp question!?

The Saw Lion grew tense.

Tiancheng Guang smiled lightly and said: "Synchro? Xyz? It doesn't matter. You're… a rabbit, right? Just like Burns's duel earlier—he stacked two Level-6 fusion monsters to summon a Rank-6 monster, then continued dueling."

"In essence, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Huh?" "Eh?"

They had never expected Tiancheng Guang to say this.

The real issue isn't that he performed Xyz Summoning, nor that he used Xyz monsters as his trump card; it's that his actions contradict his words.

"To me, whether it's Synchro monsters or Xyz monsters, it doesn't matter—as long as fusion is achieved, as long as my fusion advances further, as long as fusion monsters are summoned, any method used in the process is acceptable."

A group of young spirits exchanged glances, shocked but offering no rebuttal.

"Oh, of course, I'm referring to the process within duels. If one merely seeks power by attacking others, that is utterly unacceptable."

"But if we don't play pranks, how do we evolve!" This time it was an axe speaking, its body glowing with two blood-red eyes as it asked Tiancheng Guang in confusion.

"Evil? That's irrelevant. Do you know? In the World of Justice, where justice is pursued under the banner of 'righteousness,' there exists a group of Light Path warriors who have waged endless wars against other races—even including demons among them."

"So don't worry about your race's nature. Fusion doesn't require evil deeds; as long as you understand fusion, you can evolve."

Tiancheng Guang was experienced in this regard.

In his first year, he undermined the Fusion Army from within; in the second semester, he founded the Fusion Department and began opposing the Fusion Army; then in his second year, he guided new students and helped those within the Fusion Department understand deeper fusion.

One experience makes you familiar; facing these younger, simpler-minded spirits, he explained while pulling out the Book of Emerald.

Though once awkward, Tiancheng Guang had long accepted it.

He found a player and played several classic duels edited by Fengguang Company, circulating within the Fusion Department.

Namely, the classics: "Fierce Duel! The Legendary Duelist! Tiancheng Guang vs. Dragon Long Qi" and the Insect Yu E.

There was also footage of his duel against the professional duelist "X," also edited by Fengguang Company.

"Wow—"

"Ehh!!"

Even the Saw Lion couldn't help but sit in the center, watching Tiancheng Guang's duel against the Insect Yu E; when she saw him defeat even the "Fixed Deck" super-external tactic, she couldn't help cheering.

Meanwhile, during the playback, Ye La controlled the bodies of the dead.

Whether spirit or human bodies, she forcibly controlled them, using her own authority to drive the operation of this entire dimension.

Not long passed before the dead bodies dissolved into foam and merged into this world; she closed her eyes, sensed for a moment, then—

"This dimension will give birth to seven to ten new spirits."

Tiancheng Guang raised an eyebrow.

Was she simply and efficiently reincarnating humans into spirits?

Of course, that wasn't quite accurate; more precisely, Ye La had directly accelerated the dimension's operation, speeding up the soul's cycle.

"The newly reborn spirits are pure souls, new lives," Ye La said. "They are purer than those half-brainwashed by the Fusion Army and can understand you faster."

She had actually given Tiancheng Guang a gift.

A spirit race with fusion as its primary tactic.

As this dimension revived, outdated and incorrect beliefs would be corrected; then, all spirits in this dimension would naturally draw near Tiancheng Guang, without needing to endure the countless trials required in other dimensions to collect them one by one by one.

Tiancheng Guang nodded to her.

Thus, he should now help the Magic Toys rebuild even more.

As he thought this, several spirits watching the video suddenly glowed with intense purple light; the other spirits quickly cleared a space and stared at the glowing sheep.

"Oh my god!" The Saw Lion grabbed its own head, even pulling out cotton from inside.

"Wow—" More spirits simply cheered.

A sheep combined with a chain-type little demon began slowly evolving, eventually becoming a sheep wrapped in sharp steel chains!

Evolved—

Though this spirit had clearly been on the verge of evolution, this transformation made every Magic Toy realize one thing!

That they didn't need to follow the Fusion Army scientists' methods!

They had a more reasonable, more correct way to evolve!

"It's all true!"

The Lion, Wolf, and Tiger spirits exchanged glances, all reading the same shock in each other's eyes; then, they respected Ye La even more and realized even more clearly that Tiancheng Guang was no ordinary being!

Everything they had believed until now was wrong!

Fusion is not so narrow-minded!
