Chapter 497

The duel ended, and Fenger became food for the Earthbound Immortal, devoured by it.

Tenjou Hikari looked up at the security police, then fixed his gaze on General Li Luo Si, raising his left hand: "Come down."

General Li Luo Si clenched his fists, his entire being consumed by rage.

Being provoked, especially by Tenjou Hikari—a duelist who stood in complete opposition to them—was something he could not endure, no matter how much patience he possessed.

Moreover, before they left, Professor Chi Ma Professor Chi Ma Ling Wang had specifically instructed him that if that Count fellow lacked the skill to defeat Tenjou Hikari, he was to handle the aftermath.

He had almost pulled his deck from his clothes, but halfway through, he forced himself to maintain his composure and put the deck back.

In the current situation, insisting on a duel would be truly unwise.

Despite having conducted sufficient research on Tenjou Hikari and having attempted certain methods to lock him down in order to win, he had lost in the end.

Admittedly, part of the reason was Fenger's arrogance, which led to him losing the duel at the very end.

But even if Fenger had consistently used his tactics, would victory have been guaranteed?

After all, Tenjou Hikari's recent duel had proven one thing: even without using Spell Cards, Tenjou Hikari could still perform Fusion and continue to duel.

So... when Tenjou Hikari previously said their Fusion Sect wasn't "fused" enough, he wasn't just belittling or looking down on them; he was stating a real, practical truth.

His fists clenched until they creaked; he gritted his teeth, but in the end, he did not make a move.

Now, all his "targeting" was meaningless!

"Tenjou Hikari..."

"I understand. Since you want so badly to prove that you are the one who is right, then, next time, I will use our 【Fusion】 to defeat you for real." With that, he leaped up to a higher level.

"Tch." Tenjou Hikari snorted coldly, feeling somewhat listless.

Compared to defeating some S-Dimension noble who popped out of nowhere, the Fusion Sect gave him more motivation.

And...

At this moment, he looked back at the Earthbound Immortal card in his hand.

A certain feeling was emanating from this Earthbound Immortal card as well.

That is—lying flat.

This Earthbound Immortal card in Tenjou Hikari's hand showed absolutely no movement; theoretically, it possessed a very manic, evil power capable of inciting the madness and evil thoughts within a person, yet Ccapac Ccapac Apu showed no reaction at all.

Tenjou Hikari tried to use his own power to probe the card and could feel that it offered no resistance, as if it were saying Tenjou Hikari could do whatever he wanted with it.

Slacking off.

Completely and utterly slacking off.

So that's how it is—

Tenjou Hikari had some rough guesses.

This world was, after all, not exactly the same as the original work; in this S-Dimension, the grand background of the "Ultimate God War" had occurred who knows how many times.

Perhaps occasionally other gods would achieve final victory, and perhaps the position of the Ultimate God would change, but regardless, even among the Earthbound Immortals, there were those who had grown tired of this war.

This Ccapac Ccapac Apu in Tenjou Hikari's hand might just be one of them.

After all, even if one didn't choose the Bommer from the original work and simply selected one's own Dark Signer to act as an agent for the "Ultimate God War," it was impossible to just randomly pick someone who lacked both the spirit and the mettle of a duelist.

It made no sense; it was impossible.

After all, even the Earthbound Immortal monsters would choose someone with considerable strength like Zhen Si to try and participate in the Ultimate God War; for a true god of Ccapac Ccapac Apu's level, there were plenty of people to choose from.

Therefore, it was very strange that Ccapac Ccapac Apu appeared in the hands of a noble who wanted to gain its power by sacrificing lives.

The reason, I fear, is simply that He himself didn't care at all.

Tenjou Hikari silently put the card away.

The good news is—

This thing is also called "Earthbound," so it can actually be used as Fusion Material for Earthbound Immortal Squid; therefore, Tenjou Hikari doesn't need to worry about this card disappearing due to the power of Super Polymerization.

As it stands, although Ccapac Ccapac Apu itself has no vitality, its power is the real deal and can greatly supplement Tenjou Hikari's dueling energy and Spirit power.

Although Tenjou Hikari's own Spirit power is already quite high—basically at the human limit under Tiera's blessing—who would refuse if it could become even higher?

Not only that!

After the duel ended completely, the figure of the Earthbound Immortal Squid seemed to be thoroughly liberated; the shackles and restraints fell from its body, and it eventually turned into a card that flew into Tenjou Hikari's hand.

Otherworld Resonance - Synchro Fusion!

The original version!

You must know, the biggest difference between the anime version and the physical card version is that the physical card version is a "Special Summon," which is considered neither a Fusion Summon nor a Synchro Summon.

In other words, the OCG version of Synchro Resonance in Tenjou Hikari's hand can't even fuse Fusion Dragons, let alone Underworld Dragons.

What kind of "Synchro Fusion" is this?

It can't even bring out the "Duel Dragons" of the S-Dimension!

But the Synchro Fusion in the anime is different; it can be used directly as a Fusion and Synchro Summon, which is much stronger than the OCG version.

Most importantly, its card name is different from the "Ghost Fusion" Tenjou Hikari previously obtained from the Skeleton Knight.

Because the full name of the OCG version of Ghost Fusion is "Ghost Fusion - Ghost Fusion," Tenjou Hikari couldn't search for the 【Ghost Fusion】 gifted by the Skeleton Knight even if he tried to hand-craft a Ghost Wyvern; however, this card has the exact same name as the OCG version of "Otherworld Resonance - Synchro Fusion," so it can be searched directly by the effect of "Earthbound Servant Line Walker."

Tenjou Hikari was overjoyed and hurriedly added the card to his deck.

Afterwards, he looked up at the driveway again, looking at the security police: "So, are you still going to arrest me?"

Several police officers looked at each other, and finally, they all looked at Captain Niuwei.

Captain Niuwei looked embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and sighed: "Sigh, don't just treat me as your captain at a time like this, you brats."

"Um, how should I put it, Tenjou Hikari, we are security police and cannot defy the orders of the nobles. Since Count Fenger has ordered that you can leave if you win, then go ahead. We won't stop you anymore."

"Ha..." Tenjou Hikari laughed twice, pushed his bike, got back onto the driveway, and put his helmet back on.

"Before I go, Officer Captain Niuwei. I don't know the specific situation in your dimension, but... I think if a noble died under your 【protection】, those nobles would definitely blame you, right?"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Captain Niuwei's face.

"That fellow named General Li Luo Si just now... the organization behind him is called the 【Fusion Sect】, a terrorist organization in our dimension that harbors the ambition of ruling the entire dimension."

"What?" The embarrassment on Captain Niuwei's face vanished instantly, replaced by shock.

"There is one piece of good news: I happen to have the video of when they invaded the X-Dimension... That kid Wan Zhang Mu is really well-prepared." Tenjou Hikari muttered to himself, then pressed the switch on his device, transferred the video from his D-Wheel to a nearby police car, and said, "Here, take it... With this, you should be able to report back to your superiors. When it comes to matters of invasion—ha, it should serve as a pretty good bargaining chip, right?"

Tenjou Hikari didn't know what the situation was like at the Security Bureau.

But he knew one thing: since Godwin could give the nobles one blow, he could give them a second, a third, and countless more.

After the video finished transferring, Tenjou Hikari's eyes under his helmet looked at Captain Niuwei and added: "Officer Captain Niuwei, the events of these past few days should have, to some extent, let you know the 【truth】 of this world, and the true 【thoughts】 of some nobles, right?

I hope you make the right choice in the events to come."

"The events to come?"

Captain Niuwei looked blank.

Tenjou Hikari chuckled.

In the past, it was always others playing the riddle-maker; today, he finally got to be the riddle-maker for once.

However, it would likely only be a matter of a few days, so there was no need to explain it clearly.

He twisted the throttle and left his final words: "Then, farewell."

Afterwards, the D-Wheel accelerated automatically and sped away along the road he had come from.

Captain Niuwei watched Tenjou Hikari's receding back, looked at his subordinates who were watching the video, and remembered Fenger's words from earlier...

【A bunch of parasites wasting social resources, they aren't even worthy of being human; it's their good fortune to contribute to a better future.】

To gain power, directly sacrifice people to monsters?

How did his world become like this!
