Chapter 492

The so-called exclusion is, to some extent, a speculation.

The information Yusei currently possesses is all obtained from the "future."

However, in this world now, what kind of situation the Earthbound Immortal is in, actually even he himself doesn't know.

Although he is united with the artificial life, he only has "first-mover advantage" and doesn't know everything; he roughly understands Kiryu's deck, but doesn't know all the cards completely.

So, what state the Earthbound Immortals are in, even he has to explore slowly.

But—

Although he doesn't know exactly how, he has actually figured out quite a few things during this time.

Therefore, upon seeing Tenjou Hikari and knowing that Tenjou Hikari had come to their world, he immediately found an opportunity to clear the siege for Tenjou Hikari and provided help to Tenjou Hikari.

But before that, he still had to see what Tenjou Hikari came to this world for.

If Tenjou Hikari came here for diplomatic activities in the F-Dimension or had other things to do, he wouldn't disturb Tenjou Hikari and would just wait for other opportunities.

And now, he had confirmed that Tenjou Hikari came specifically for the "Dark Mark."

"Aren't you afraid I have other purposes?"

"I believe in Yugo and Rin's vision, and I also believe in your passion in dueling and your persistence in Fusion."

"Ha... then tell me, what is the specific situation?"

"It's actually almost the same as what you know. Just like you know, in the process of competing for 【Synchro】, the 【Sole God】 was born, other gods either became subordinate gods or were sealed and became Earthbound Immortals, and lower ones were simply demoted to demons and monsters.

And Hikari, I can tell you that the Dark Mark on your left hand is the orthodox Dark Mark of the 【Earthbound Immortal】."

Tenjou Hikari looked at his wrist and nodded.

"But—just like I said, in the long process, some gods were demoted to demons, and some were sealed as Earthbound Immortals.

And the one I want you to find, the one I ask you to help me with, is exactly such a god.

It was sealed as an Earthbound Immortal and demoted to a prisoner and slave... Earthbound Servant."

So that's it—

Tenjou Hikari realized.

So the Earthbound Servant in this world is in such a situation.

Roughly figured it out.

Before leaving, Tenjou Hikari asked Yusei if he needed his help.

Not to mention anything else, Tenjou Hikari is already "skilled" at making people merge into one.

Although he hadn't practiced it, letting Jaden and the Supreme King communicate face-to-face was something Tenjou Hikari had brought about.

And Yusei's state is actually the incompatibility between humans and artificial gods.

Just like the "Psychic End Punisher" created by Divine before couldn't become a god normally, it wasn't an original god after all, and it had to unite with Fudo Yusei; this confusion was very obvious, plus the core of "Synchro," the "Sole God," that he had to compete for, made Yusei, who lacked the power of Synchro, even more incompatible—the "lack" here doesn't refer to Yusei's dueling strength, but his supernatural power.

After all, he isn't a natural psychic genius like Aki Izayoi; although he can take on a security police officer with one punch, he is still a mortal, and appearing like this without other things to assist him to unite with an artificial god naturally leads to confusion.

Yusei's solution is to continue debugging, so he rarely appears during this time; he should be concentrating on debugging himself.

But Tenjou Hikari actually has a simpler method—the Psychic End Punisher he got some time ago is a very good material; Tenjou Hikari can feel the pain, extract its power and stuff it all into Yusei's body, and use Super Polymerization to solve the incompatibility factor, which is easy.

Even Tiera is quite in favor of this.

She appreciates this human very much and has even started asking Tenjou Hikari what Yusei's name is, clearly wanting to remember Yusei.

After all, artificial gods, mechanical gods, time gods, and life gods are all factors Tiera likes, plus the path he chose should give birth to many possibilities; Tiera feels that the future return is far greater than the investment, so she is quite supportive of Tenjou Hikari doing this.

However, Yusei himself refused.

Accepting Tenjou Hikari's kindness without any return doesn't fit his current thoughts.

It's not that he is "too fusion" or "not synchro"; Yusei is a very flexible person and not that rigid.

He can accept Tenjou Hikari's help in debugging his state, but he absolutely cannot accept Tenjou Hikari making any sacrifices without getting corresponding support.

This is his persistence now.

Thus, Tenjou Hikari didn't talk much with him, looked at the map Yusei gave him again, and looked at the target.

It's actually in this kind of place... no wonder he hadn't found it all along.

Jack climbed onto the helicopter, looking at the devastated earth, the madness of Kiryu before flashed in his mind, and he remembered himself who snatched Stardust Dragon to become a "superior person."

He clenched his fist gently. Looking at his right wrist that was slowly losing color.

Yusei abandoned the power of the Crimson Dragon; in principle, Yusei should be his "enemy" now.

But—

Their bonds will never change because of the change in identity!

Yusei, let me help you this time.

On the other side, Crow and Yusei left together. He was worried about Yusei, so he wanted to take care of Yusei, while Yusei thought that since his appearance had been seen, there was no need to hide, and he could let Crow help while he was debugging his body, so he accepted it generously.

Crow, on the way to drive, while talking and reminiscing with Yusei, looked at his left hand.

That day, after the argument with Shinji, he had actually already noticed it.

He craved power, craved the power to participate and stop it.

But, he was worried about becoming Shinji, becoming like Kiryu...

This wasn't his groundless worry, but every time he really tried to borrow that power, a tyrannical and abusive touch would rise in his heart.

He was afraid.

Afraid of this power, and also afraid of himself.

How exactly can one be as calm as that Tenjou Hikari?

He was really curious and really wanted to learn.

At this very moment, the person Crow regarded as a role model finally stopped on the side of the road after a drive. Although some sirens came from behind, he didn't care.

"Shhh..."

Tenjou Hikari looked forward.

Under the azure sky was deep blue seawater; the seawater tossed on the sea surface, sometimes calm, sometimes surging with waves, making a rustling sound.

Sea surface.

The sea surface Tenjou Hikari could see every day when turning the corner of the mountain during this time.

"It's really a secret and reasonable location, I really didn't expect it to be here."

"Hikari, I feel the gaze of that evil... god who is monitoring me," Mud Dragon King had been following Tenjou Hikari's deck during this time, not hiding in the Great Universe Workshop; coming to the sea surface and stopping for a while, he immediately sensed the spirit in the lake water.

Earthbound Geoglyph Squid, the only "subordinate god" that could find the "Earthbound Geoglyph Winged Dog Demon."

"Hummm hummm——"

The security police who were chasing Tenjou Hikari, the "person from another dimension," had already discovered him and were rushing from two directions to surround and intercept him.

His mouth curled.

Then, he pulled the car handle hard, and the D-Wheel, under his will, jumped off the fence on the side and landed on the sandy ground.

A normal D-Wheel might not be able to move at full speed on this ground due to ground obstruction, but Tenjou Hikari immediately rushed towards the sea surface after landing on the sand.

A group of security police who were about to surround Tenjou Hikari saw this scene and stopped in shock at the corner, blocking here, looking at Tenjou Hikari.

Immediately after, there was a scene that surprised them even more—

Tenjou Hikari actually rushed straight towards the sea surface without hesitation!

Could it be that in order to avoid the pursuit, he didn't even want his life?

Some police officers raised questions.

But immediately after, that kind of question disappeared.

Only to see Tenjou Hikari's D-Wheel rush onto the sea surface, but it didn't fall into the seawater, but drove as if it were on flat ground, driving towards the further sea!

"Ah?"

All the security police were stunned.

Even Ushio, who was in charge of this encirclement, couldn't help but take off his hat and look at this scene in a daze.

And unknowingly, on the sea surface, purple circular light patterns began to emerge slowly!
