Chapter 469: Escaped by Your Own Power? (5k)

Fusion Conscription - Dark.

A monster card that can substitute for Fusion Material monsters listed on a Fusion Monster card.

This card was drawn by Serena when she was drawing card packs for Tenjou Hikari, and it had extraordinary significance.

Last year, when Tenjou Hikari was dealing with the Fusion Army and incidentally recovering the "Three Phantasm Fragments" from them, this card and two other materials fused to give birth to Chaos Phantasm Armityle.

This year, Tenjou Hikari had been trying to figure out the extraction technology, and had tried many times, even successfully extracting "Flame Swordsman" from Flame Swordsman and then re-fusing it, sublimating it into "Super Flame Swordsman."

It could be said that Tenjou Hikari's alchemy topic this year was basically to extract this card back from Chaos Phantasm.

And now...

After large-scale attempts, with his spirit power reaching 8 stars and Tiera also possessing "Baal," Tenjou Hikari finally exhausted his resources and extracted this card back.

"Whew—" Tenjou Hikari breathed a sigh of relief.

He had to keep this card well.

The good news was that he now had the means to preserve specific monsters. Besides that, Tenjou Hikari's control over Super Polymerization was not as bad as before.

He turned back to look at Chaos Phantasm Armityle - Void Phantom Blasting. This card was a subsequent physical card reinforcement in the OCG, and its effect was much stronger than the original Armityle. However, in the original work, it was just one of Armityle's abilities.

But here with Tenjou Hikari, it was directly and truly evolved.

In order to extract the Conscription, this card was even sublimated under Tenjou Hikari's multiple refining attempts. Of course, in order to replace the Conscription, the Phantasm Emperor was successfully fused in. Now, the materials for Chaos Phantasm were completely regular materials.

He packed up the cards and saw Tiera in the sky controlling the flames to recover the materials.

The explosion of Armityle's birth could not be completely resisted by the spirits in Tenjou Hikari's camp, and Tiera's body was not in a complete state after all, so she still lost some puppets and machines.

In order to complete this experiment, Tenjou Hikari used a large amount of materials collected recently, including materials provided by Genex and Endymion. However, correspondingly, these materials infected by the Phantasm became materials that Tiera happened to need.

This was also the reason why Tiera was so generous in letting Tenjou Hikari use them.

She controlled her demons to recover the materials.

Starting from "Baal," to be precise, the Adramelech, Lilith, and Naamah above Baal needed more than just ordinary mechanical materials; they must have enough "demonic" or "divine" nature to be manufactured.

Although Tiera herself could provide them, this manufacturing was very slow. Now that local demons provided demonic nature, it was much more convenient to manufacture.

However—

Tiera looked at the anxious spirits and used puppet strings to collect the materials.

The furnace might not be able to start for a long time, because the explosion did cause damage to the Universe Workshop, and it would probably take a long time to repair.

During this time, it was probably impossible to try to manufacture new body components.

Tenjou Hikari left the workshop full of gunpowder smoke, and when he was outside, he breathed a little air, and was surprised to find that plant-type spirits and Genex spirits had begun to transform the environment.

Are they really trying to turn this place into a habitable planet?

Tenjou Hikari touched the back of his head and didn't dwell on this question.

He opened the "Emerald Tablet" and flipped through the contents.

Successfully extracting Fusion Conscription, Tenjou Hikari felt that his brain was clearer than ever before. If nothing went wrong, he would be able to open all the "dimensional coordinate point" puzzles in the whole book in a short time.

But before that, there was one thing he had to change in this book.

That was, the point of "returning to the Universe Workshop at any time within Duel Academy" in this book.

Although convenient, it was not convenient enough. Tenjou Hikari decided to strengthen the effect of the book, so that this book could return directly to the Universe Workshop in any human world, so that it would be better—in the Critical Point dimension, he had always been stuck in the Critical Point, without any chance to explore other dimensions. Now it seemed to be a flaw.

But this topic was a bit big, and it might not be so fast in a short time.

After all, he felt that the Crimson Dragon's voice was getting louder and louder.

Finally, after two days of trying to no avail, he gave up.

He wasn't in a hurry, he could try to improve the Emerald Tablet in the S-Dimension.

Tenjou Hikari and his companions repaired in the Universe Workshop for a period of time. Suddenly one day, a dragon roar sounded. The thing in his hand paused, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on a strange street.

"Eh... this is too efficient, right?"

Tenjou Hikari turned his head to look around, feeling a bit speechless.

In the next moment, Tiera suddenly appeared beside him, looked around, and said in her spare time: "Didn't expect you to disappear in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the spirit's body can appear in the card at any time."

She was eating cup noodles when she had nothing to do, and when she turned her head, Tenjou Hikari was gone.

"Where is this..." Tenjou Hikari looked around and decided to find someone to ask for directions first.

Although the Crimson Dragon was indeed strong and could even take people through time, it was really outrageous that it didn't speak human language.

At this moment...

On the second floor of the Fusion Department of Duel Academy, Serena was wearing a pair of goggles, holding a melting gun, and slowly sewing up the things in front of her.

A moment later, she brought a bucket of unknown liquid, poured it slowly into the mold, and with a "hiss" sound, water vapor rose in the room.

Unlike Tenjou Hikari, Serena preferred this kind of relatively stable mechanical tool to try "refining."

The Fusion Department workshop built by Tenjou Hikari before was built by the Wind and Light Company. Because Tenjou Hikari considered that he might leave it to the Fusion Department freshmen later, such as the freshmen after he graduated, the equipment inside was more chemical equipment, which was also convenient for everyone to understand. If it didn't work, it could also be used as a small chemistry interest group, but most of the Fusion Department students felt dizzy after watching alchemy for a while. In the end, Serena used it.

In short, after working hard for a while, she turned on the ventilator in the room and began to change the gas.

Then, she took off her protective gear and carefully leaned over to the experimental product, leaning her head to look.

With her movements, several small spirits also appeared beside her, leaning their heads together, looking at this scene curiously.

Gurgle gurgle—

"Wow! Serena, it seems to have succeeded!" Panda shouted excitedly!

Serena smiled, puffed out her chest and raised her head, slowly bent her right hand, raised her fist to the side, and was so confident.

After livening up the atmosphere, she curiously picked up the mirror and held it in front of her.

In the mirror, there was a young woman soaking in some kind of liquid, looking about the same age as her.

But what was shocking was that she actually had the same appearance as herself! Even she had a bracelet on her!

Since discovering this, she had been very concerned.

Because if she remembered correctly, this was an auxiliary tool that could see her own heart, so Judai-senpai could see another self in the mirror, because there was another "Supreme King" soul in his heart.

What about her?

At that time, she thought, could it be that there was some evil guy hidden in her heart?

Honestly, she was slightly looking forward to it at first. After all, she watched the duel between Judai and the Dragon God of Dark World, and when Judai exerted that "Supreme King" power, it was quite domineering, imposing, and very handsome.

She didn't have much extra interest. If she could be like Judai-senpai, not to mention anything else, the duel would definitely become much stronger, right?

But later she thought more and more that something was wrong.

The figure she caught a glimpse of at that time didn't look like another personality hidden in the bottom of her heart at all; it was clearly a person placed in a culture tank.

This made her recall quite a few bad memories.

Could it be that?

Mental illness? PTSD or something?

Although she learned with countless students in the Academy and communicated with many friendly seniors, everyone was not an ordinary student, and her learning was not very good, so she suddenly started to think wildly.

Regardless, she was a little girl after all, and she would still think wildly.

But everything is over now.

She finally succeeded in copying it.

Of course—it was not a copy.

If it was just a copy, she had been pestering Tenjou Hikari, and there was always a chance to look at the auxiliary tool in Tenjou Hikari's hand.

But the key was that this kind of mirror had no way to talk to the "heart" further, and she was not a person with powerful power like Judai-senpai, so no matter how she tried, she couldn't do it.

She tried to call the other party, such as "Hey!", "Hey!", "Serena?" etc., but unfortunately, it didn't succeed.

She scratched her head, a bit puzzled. A moment later, "Ah!" her eyes lit up, and she knocked on the mirror like knocking on a door.

At first, the person in the mirror didn't react. After she tried a few times, the person in the mirror seemed to be a sleeping beauty who was knocked awake, closed her eyes and frowned, and after a while, let out a groan, and then suddenly woke up and coughed.

"Oh!" Serena waved her fist lightly.

Sure enough, this one is still easy to use—

"Who are you, where is this?" The Serena in the mirror shouted in horror.

"Where is this? This is my workshop."

"Why did you kidnap—eh? You look like me..."

The Serena in the mirror looked in front of her and became suspicious.

Kidnap?

Serena suddenly frowned.

She thought about it and felt that it was better to have a good relationship with her second personality, so she said: "What's your name? How should I call you?"

"Ruri..."

Sounds so elegant, am I so elegant in my heart?

Serena became suspicious again.

"I seem to..." Ruri lowered her head and frowned, "I remember, an explosion suddenly occurred in Heartland, and then a dangerous guy who looked very much like Yuto suddenly appeared in front of me, and then used a duel disk to..."

What what?

Serena's eyes widened suddenly.

Not right—

Very wrong!

She suddenly remembered that the Amazoness sisters had told her outside the Amazoness camp before that her father had found his second daughter!

Could it be!

She hurriedly searched her phone and asked the Tyler sisters through the chat group. Gloria was not very happy and didn't bother to respond to her. Grace pondered for a while and told the professor the name of his other daughter.

After all, this was nothing to them. Anyway, Serena was also the professor's daughter. This kind of thing, if Tenjou and the others wanted to know, they could say it directly.

"Ruri—"

Kurosaki Ruri?

The surnames are not the same!

But—she looks exactly like me.

Are we twins?

Wait, isn't there someone in the S-Dimension who looks exactly like me?

Just when her brain was in chaos, she noticed that Ruri in the mirror suddenly closed her eyes, and at the same time, some voices came over.

"How is our operation prepared this time?"

"The nobles in the S-Dimension are being pushed step by step by the newly appointed Security Bureau Chief, and they must rely on our power."

"Ha, this time with the blessing of the local gods, as long as we seize the opportunity, we will definitely be able to wash away the previous failure!"

The voices gradually dissipated.

Serena's hands were clenched tightly.

As the voices moved away, Ruri slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the culture tank in front of her. Although she was surprised by the figure that suddenly appeared, she didn't dwell on it too much.

She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then said: "I understand, these guys are the guys who attacked Heartland. Their next target is another world. Then they... should be capturing humans for experiments. Could it be that you were also captured... no, you don't look like it, did you escape by your own power?"

"Eh, eh, you are so smart." Serena tilted her head slightly.

Ruri couldn't help but smile slightly and responded: "Being able to escape by your own power, you are even more amazing."

Although they were the same age, there were differences in personality.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly became a little nervous and hurriedly closed her eyes.

Patter, patter—

"Hm?" A strange, weird, and slightly joyful voice sounded, "How strange, was this girl in this position before?"

"Ha, forget it, it doesn't matter, hehehehe~"

A moment later, the voice chuckled and turned around, took out a few cards, and laughed coldly.

Ruri squinted her eyes slightly, trying to see out as much as possible, but saw a purple-haired boy holding a few cards in his hand. In the cards were Fusion Army soldiers, ordinary people, and many strange existences.

She was so scared that she closed her eyes directly and never dared to open them again.

"Hm?" The voice sounded again, seemingly having some other ideas, "Uh... forget it, find something interesting first."

Unknowingly, Serena felt a cold sweat.

A bit nervous, and a bit familiar—she always felt that she had heard that voice in some laboratory.

After the voice went far away, Ruri slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know what the structure of this culture tank is. Although it is full of liquid everywhere inside, it can breathe.

She tried to push the glass on all sides, but found that she couldn't do it at all.

"Sigh..."

She let out a long sigh.

It seems that she couldn't escape by her own power.

However—

She was not alone!

"My name is Serena," Serena took the time to introduce herself, "I will try my best to help you—"

If it's the Fusion Army...

That's also her business!

Ruri felt a warmth in her heart.

She didn't expect to get help from a stranger in this situation. However, she heard the voices of some people again. She disguised herself as much as possible, and then noticed that a large team of soldiers in blue uniforms was moving in one direction.

It seems that they should be the people who went to perform the mission that those people mentioned before, right?

This group of Fusion Army soldiers passed through the test area and came to the dimensional gate. Several doctors here were adjusting the machine. Beside them, there was a person in a suit, blonde and blue-eyed.

He behaved "elegantly," every movement was quite upright, and he corrected his tie and bow tie from time to time. He looked like a person who cared about his image very much.

"Can you really provide help for us?" This noble raised his head and said.

"Of course, as long as you are willing to participate in our grand plan, then..." A doctor who looked a bit bald rubbed his hands and responded.

"Hahaha, of course, as long as our status is guaranteed, the lower-class people should die if they should die."

"Oh, what an excellent judgment, hahaha, then happy cooperation."

"Then—" A Fusion Army officer commanded the soldiers, "For the prosperity of our multi-dimension, for the glory of the nobles, soldiers, go to the S-Dimension and offer your strength!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers passed through the dimensional gate one after another and came to the S-Dimension.

And at this time, Tenjou Hikari looked at the sky and took a sip of juice.

He seemed to be in the lower city, and the TV and radio screens around him were playing a game.

It seemed to be a duel in the S-Dimension before.

While their world was busy with the GX Tournament, this side had already finished many things. In a riding duel competition "Fortune Cup," the king of the S-Dimension, Duel King Jack Atlas, lost to a duelist from the slums, Yusei Fudo.

Thus, Jack Atlas became the "former king," and Jack Atlas's experience of coming from the slums was once again rampant, causing a stir in the upper city of the S-Dimension.

For this reason, the upper city sent police to carry out large-scale cleaning of the lower city, letting those in the lower city stay away, not to pollute the eyes of the upper city, and even caused several conflicts because of this.

For example, now, Tenjou Hikari could still see countless police driving ordinary people away outside.

The contradiction between the lower city and the upper city was intensified more and more strongly, and some people even said that they had seen some evil gods calling them in their dreams.

"So that's it—"

Just muttering, he suddenly raised his left hand and looked at it. On his left hand, at some point, a purple pattern appeared—this was not the color of fusion. Tenjou Hikari looked at it for a few times and saw that this was simply the "Earthbound Immortal" ground painting of this dimension.

He blinked, and before he could figure out what this was, suddenly, several police cars drove directly at him.

He dodged and immediately avoided the car.

"Hey, kid, didn't I tell you to get out!"

Several police officers got out of the car, picked up their duel disks, and surrounded Tenjou Hikari fiercely.
