Chapter 486

The full set—

Tenjou Hikari counted all the cards collected with a strange look on his face.

These cards, which were used as keys, seals, and connection points, were placed in various positions in the laboratory. After Tenjou Hikari collected them all, he also checked every machine in the laboratory.

Because he had to protect the lives of the innocent, Tenjou Hikari checked very carefully—although Tiera had actually checked it once during the duel, he felt more at ease checking it himself.

And after finishing looking at these and starting to release the innocent children, Tenjou Hikari took the time to check the cards he had found.

Almost a full set of Metaphysical cards.

Tenjou Hikari raised his eyebrows.

Except for the fusion monster Metaphysical Factor, all the Metaphysical cards were actually all there—

Yes, not only the lower-level monsters, but also the three 8-star non-psychic Metaphysical monsters, the two fusion monsters, and the spell and trap cards; basically, all the cards in the entire Metaphysical series were in Tenjou Hikari's hands.

Although there was only one, Tenjou Hikari's backup deck had Metaphysical fusion, so he didn't care about the number of spells and traps.

What Tenjou Hikari cared more about was the "quantity" of these cards.

He never expected to be able to collect all the cards at once.

"So that's how it is." Tiera glanced at it from the side and suddenly realized.

"How?"

"It's a double insurance," Tiera said. "Although that Psychic End Punisher has the qualifications of a god-level, if it's handed over to humans, there will always be risks. So, there is extra insurance outside of this.

Although these cards are functional cards in this laboratory and are tools to link and amplify the Psychic End Punisher, conversely, the Psychic End Punisher is also their 【disguise】."

Disguise?

Tenjou Hikari looked at the cards in his hand.

These cards were all emitting faint, black smoke that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

These cards were also Darkness's cards!

Darkness had the ability to directly replace the puppet's cards, and the range of replacement was very large.

Just like Chui Xue, in the original work, the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon," which was extremely rare in the world, could appear in the deck as three cards as long as he used the power of Darkness—of course, before he adapted to the power of Darkness, even if he didn't want to use it, he had to use the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

This was the domineering nature of the power of Darkness in this world.

Therefore, the cards given to Lord Di Wei En were naturally prepared as a set, just like Chui Xue's, the only difference being that giving them to Lord Di Wei En was just for the experiment to go smoothly.

"It's a good thing it was you who came, Tenjou Hikari. The content on these cards clearly describes the scene of the experimental subject breaking through containment, destroying the laboratory, and evolving completely. If a duelist who didn't know the situation came here, defeated that Lord Di Wei En, and even destroyed that Psychic End Punisher like you did, it still wouldn't have completely broken its plan.

The reason is simple: the Punisher is just a target.

If the plan for the artificial mental world fails, it will use the demon's remains as a fuse to let these experimental subjects suddenly explode one day and then turn into natural life like a god."

Which was a "pitch-black card" in Tenjou Hikari's hand.

A card that was pure black on the front, but if you picked it up to look, you could see the image of tentacles waving inside the card.

Clearly, this card hadn't been fully born yet, but one could already see what kind of card it was.

Metaphysical Factor.

You know, this card is very powerful; it is a "negate" that Tenjou Hikari likes very much, a fusion monster that is actually more powerful than "Invoked Mechaba" in terms of effect alone.

However, compared to Mechaba, its fusion conditions are a bit difficult—three 8-star or higher Metaphysical monsters.

This is much more difficult than Mechaba, which can be fused with "Aleister and a Light-attribute monster."

But if it appears, it can banish cards from the graveyard to negate the opponent's cards of the same type, which is still much more powerful than Mechaba, which needs to discard cards to negate.

This card also had traces of Darkness burning faintly.

As a "backup plan," this card hadn't been fully born; if more time had passed, or if the experiment had lasted longer, or if Tenjou Hikari hadn't taken the Psychic End Punisher away, this card would have had the opportunity to be born slowly here, and then turn into a monster, becoming a "natural disaster" of this world.

Regrettably, Tenjou Hikari was familiar with Darkness, so he searched the entire laboratory thoroughly.

Not to mention anything else, Darkness is very good at conspiracies, psychological hypnosis, double traps, etc. Now that he had investigated, he really had extra gains and also prevented an incident that could have caused heavy casualties in the Upper City.

Now, all of this hadn't even shown a sign before it was directly wiped out by Tenjou Hikari.

Tenjou Hikari could even use Duel Energy to complete this card, not worrying at all about not being able to use it.

Just charge it slowly.

This was the first time Tenjou Hikari had collected a full series of fusion cards so conveniently, quickly, and stably.

Over there, Carly had also taken pictures and started thinking about how to report it later. After Jack confirmed that the children were all fine, his gaze toward Tenjou Hikari also softened a lot.

Although he was a hostile Dark Signer, Tenjou Hikari was clearly not that kind of villain.

"Jack, I've contacted the hospital and the Security Bureau!" In the distance, Carly waved at Jack.

Jack nodded, then looked at Tenjou Hikari again, specifically at what Tenjou Hikari was holding: "A fusion monster, huh... It seems that you came to this world just to collect fusion monsters that your world doesn't have?

And as a result, you were targeted and entangled by an Earthbound Immortal because of your own strength? Ha, unlucky guy—"

"Ha, what I pursue is the process of fusing with each other. Having such an opportunity to come to your world, of course I won't miss it," Tenjou Hikari didn't hide anything and happily put the cards away. "As for the price, that's not something that needs to be considered."

Jack originally wanted to talk about something else, but noticing that some children were waking up, he immediately dismissed the idea of talking to Tenjou Hikari in detail and threw a card at Tenjou Hikari.

Tenjou Hikari caught it immediately and flipped through it slightly.

"This is a pass for all the checkpoints in the Upper City. Although I don't know how you bypassed the security guards to get to the Upper City, even you couldn't sneak into the deeper parts of the Upper City without anyone noticing.

With this, you can enter the downtown area of the Upper City. It's only valid for one person."

"Oh—thanks!"

Tenjou Hikari put away the card and didn't talk much, saying directly: "The police and doctors should be on the way, right? I'm still being hunted by the security police, so I won't say goodbye to you guys."

Since Tenjou Hikari had discovered the power of Darkness, his next goal was completely clear.

Dealing with the influence left by Darkness in this world and weakening the power of Darkness would reduce the difficulty of resistance when his own world faced the arrival of Darkness.

In addition, he had to deal with the matters of the Underworld Dragon and the Mud Dragon King.

Basically, these were the three most important things.

Tenjou Hikari waved goodbye to the two, and Jack was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking: "Do you have any other information?"

Carly was stunned for a while when asked, and seeing Jack turn to look at the children's injuries, she hurriedly followed in a panic, and then, upon seeing the imprisoned children, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Ah, speaking of which, I seem to have seen a black mark similar to the one on that person's hand before in the criminal detention center!"

Jack nodded.

Prison, huh...

Tenjou Hikari, who hadn't gone far, nodded silently.

It seems the next target is that place.
