Chapter 480: Support from the Rear

"You even prepared remote communication in the equipment? How did you do it?"

Tenjou Hikari heard Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's voice coming from the Duel Runner. Although he was surprised, he wasn't scared.

"Ha, I thought you'd be scared if I spoke suddenly." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu responded, "I asked Brother Muma to do it; this is high-tech, don't break it."

Tenjou Hikari looked at Tiera.

It could be repaired if it broke.

"So, how is it, how are things over there?"

"Don't mention it, Lightning, it's all because of your component that my first duel almost lost directly because I ran too slowly. Are you jealous that I won the championship, so you're secretly harming me?"

"Ha? If you knew how to ride, would I make this kind of thing? Think about your own problems! Champion!" He shouted the last two words fiercely.

After some banter, Tenjou Hikari returned to the base, boiled a pot of hot water, held a cup while drinking, removed the Duel Disk and reinstalled it on his arm, opened the projection function of the Duel Disk, looked at today's summary, and chatted with Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu.

Although according to Tenjou Hikari, it might only be a matter of a few months before he could return to the academy, in Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's view, Tenjou Hikari went to an unfamiliar Otherworld alone with absolutely no support, and might encounter some difficulties or suffering. At such moments, he, as a friend, still had to give some support.

So every night, as long as work wasn't too busy, he would try to contact Tenjou Hikari to help Tenjou Hikari with strategies.

Don't say, Tenjou Hikari listened to Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's words, and it was really true.

Detective Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's talent was very suitable for the Synchro Dimension. It was a pity that he also had his own career and goals; otherwise, pulling Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu over would definitely be easier than now.

Tenjou Hikari pondered for a while, looked at the Dark Mark on his left hand, and opened up to Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu about why he came to this world and why he came here.

After a while...

"So that's it, I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's voice came from the other side. "Although you said long ago that you were going to the Synchro Dimension, you never told everyone why you were going to the Synchro Dimension or how you went. So that Underworld Dragon is a special card from the Synchro Dimension.

No wonder... that card was indeed a card you used after returning from the Synchro Dimension; I clearly hadn't seen you use any Zombie-related cards before."

Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu was worthy of being a "Detective," quickly sorting out the current situation from the information Tenjou Hikari provided.

"Ha, they all said you should still be in the laboratory, but I knew that although you stay in the laboratory for a long time, you couldn't miss your own affairs.

Professor Chronos originally accepted an interview from the TV station, saying he was going to interview you, but you didn't respond to the text message, so I guessed you must have left."

Text message?

Tenjou Hikari took out his phone and glanced at it. There was indeed one. Looking at the time, it was exactly the time when the Crimson Dragon took him away directly.

"And then?"

"I fobbed them off. Ha—speaking of which, you guy, after winning the championship, a bunch of people came looking for you, but Professor Chronos turned them all away. It was hard to find an old acquaintance of Professor Chronos, but you disappeared again.

Not only that, because you won the championship, I don't know how many junior girls knocked on the door of the Fusion Department, annoying Serena who was doing experiments in the alchemy laboratory."

"Ah this—hahahaha, cough cough cough, I'll find Professor Chronos and Serena later." Tenjou Hikari replied awkwardly.

"Hmm..." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu responded. "As for your situation over there. I analyzed it for you.

First, I've been there too. I've also understood the problems between the Lower City people and the Upper City people, so it can basically be concluded that the contradiction between the upper and lower layers is definitely not caused by gods, or rather, not purely caused by gods, but by years of capital squeezing. From this point of view, that Shinji's Dark Mark, or what that Dark Signer told him, is unlikely to be the whole picture.

Or rather, it's biased."

"Do I need you to analyze this? Forget it, forget it, hurry up and go to sleep." Tenjou Hikari directly started chasing people away.

Is he a brainless idiot as a brother?

"No, no, no, wait a minute, what's the rush? What I'm saying next is the key point."

"Then say the key point."

"Since that Shinji said so, then no matter how much truth there is in what he said, one thing is certain. That is, he or the people or gods behind him have determined that if he really wins, then he can more or less achieve the things in his ideals."

This point is true.

Tenjou Hikari nodded.

If according to the performance of the Earthbound Immortal in the original work, if Shinji really collected all the "marks" and let the Earthbound Immortal he believed in become the 【Only God】, then creating a world that fits his philosophy wouldn't be difficult—resurrecting everyone in the Lower City is something the Earthbound Immortal can do. If it gathered the power of other gods, it would probably be able to do this easily.

Anyway, there are still the souls of half of humanity as rations. With the Earthbound Immortal's painless resurrection of the dead in the original work, it wouldn't care about this kind of thing at all.

And Shinji himself obviously wouldn't care what happens if the other half of the world dies. He himself seems not to care at all, nor has he delved into the reasons why the upper and lower layers have appeared today.

"But, it should be very troublesome to find that opponent in the vast sea of people, right?"

"What's more, if you only listen to Shinji's description, every Dark Signer should use Turbo Duels to draw 【Earthbound Immortal Ground Paintings】 during duels, so the range of activities of these Dark Signers is limited. If some Dark Signers have different activity ranges than other Dark Signers, what should we do? Can this elimination still produce a result?

So, I guess it shouldn't be like this, but another form—that is, using Turbo Duels to dye other people's 【Ground Paintings】 into the appearance of your own side.

Therefore, making Dark Signers and the Signers you mentioned meet is bound to be the most important link.

I think you've only been there for a day or two, and then you immediately met two Dark Signers; I'm afraid that's not luck. But... destined!"

Tenjou Hikari raised an eyebrow and immediately reacted: "So that's it... will Dark Signers and Signers attract each other?"

He originally thought that he had no grudges with those Signers and Dark Signers, so wasn't he just a pure passerby in this 【Only God】 competition? Just finish his business and leave.

After all, in the original work, part of the reason why many Dark Signers were so keen on dueling Signers was hatred.

Now it seems that since the world is different, the logic is also different.

Dark Marks and Dragon Marks might just be picking duelists who "fit their hearts" and have "high enough strength," instead of having those needs for hatred.

It seems that accepting the Underworld Dragon's response and dealing with hatred for Mudragon isn't such a simple thing.

"That's right! Ha, Tenjou, your reaction is really fast." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu said. "Since you have a Duel Runner, try running around on the road tomorrow; maybe you'll run into that Shinji?"

"Hmm. What you said is indeed reasonable... Ha, thank you, Lightning."

"Why say that, too sentimental—I, the Professor, everyone, we are all your supporters. Over there, if you encounter difficulties you can't solve, don't forget we are still here."

"... Good!"

Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but laugh.
