Chapter 498

Tenjou Hikari returned to the base.

He rushed into the base excitedly, turned out all the instruments he could find, and then focused on modifying the "Book of Emerald."

Previously, in this dimension, Tenjou Hikari had thought about just muddling through, finding the Earthbound Prison to help the Mud Dragon King solve the problem, and then joining in the fun and doing odd jobs during the Dragon Mark and Dark Signer incidents, while also acting as a tourist watching the people of this dimension duel and collecting some cards related to Synchro Fusion.

But now, Tenjou Hikari learned that not only had the Fusion Army arrived in this dimension, but even "Chima Lingwang" had arrived...

Then, things were completely different.

The reason he could travel while collecting cards before was because this was his "summer vacation"; this was not only the process of his collecting Fusion, but also his summer break, so there was no need to be so urgent about conducting experiments or manufacturing.

Chima Lingwang being in this dimension is an excellent opportunity!

Whether it was because he was too excited or because an Earthbound Immortal had joined, Tenjou Hikari's research went very smoothly.

Very good—

If he could enter the Great Universe Workshop in this dimension as well, then his win rate would be even higher!

On the other side, after socializing with the nobles for a while, Chima Lingwang heard Lilos's report.

Upon learning that Tenjou Hikari had actually obtained an Earthbound Immortal card, Chima Lingwang showed no reaction; he merely reprimanded Lilos in front of the nobles, then raised the issue high and lowered it gently, telling Lilos not to worry and to prepare for the next ambush on Tenjou Hikari.

At the level of a General, even Chima Lingwang would not reprimand them casually, because their individual capabilities were actually very excellent; he wouldn't truly punish such high-level subordinates just to appease the nobles.

Moreover, the things he truly cared about were not these at all.

He looked at the massive machine his soldiers had moved to this dimension and into the noble district, and gently took out his deck.

After obtaining the power of the Sacred Beasts, Numbers, and Earthbound Immortals, Chima Lingwang could finally attempt it.

Back then, he and his companions conducted experiments with God Cards.

Using solid-image technology, they attempted to compress "infinite" mass into a single card, thereby creating a "God Card" to create a world where everyone could live freely—a world with sufficient resources and no resource deficiencies.

At that very moment.

The moment that card "appeared in the world," Chima Lingwang understood.

It wasn't that they 【created】 that card, but that the card finally had a "carrier" that met its requirements!

At that time, he possessed an opportunity to choose.

An opportunity to swing, an opportunity to let himself choose.

To move toward dedication, to share this power, and to create a world where everyone could live a happy life.

To move toward selfishness, to swallow this power alone, and to create a world where he alone enjoyed all the things in the world.

In that swing of the soul, Chima Lingwang chose the latter.

It's just a pity...

Due to some accidents, his initial attempt failed.

Zarc and Ray, who were used to carry the power, split, and in the end, he obtained nothing.

But!

Although the attempt failed, he still had a chance.

As long as he found all his daughters, the world would be within his grasp.

Not only that, although he didn't obtain the full power of 【GOD】, the process of the GOD swing still gave him a glimmer of possibility.

Previously, he had already obtained some data from Serena through experiments and cultivation; some time ago, Yuri captured Rin, who was in the Xyz Dimension, and through experiments, he successfully found that data on Rin.

Using the power of the Sacred Beasts, Numbers, and Earthbound Immortals, he could just open that possibility!

Click—

Click—

Like a swinging pendulum, the possibility of the soul flickered in Chima Lingwang's eyes.

A card appeared in his eyes.

Ha...

A Fusion Monster.

A super-powerful Fusion Monster that ordinary people would never be able to witness!

However, unlike ordinary Fusion Monsters...

The upper part of this card was the purple of a Fusion Monster, but its lower part was actually the green of a "Spell Card"!

Not only that, its card appearance was also completely different from other monsters; between the effect and the card art, there was actually an extra line of cards!

Great Spirit Machine Army - Pendulum Commander!

As long as this card existed, no matter what Sacred Beasts or Numbers there were, they would appear powerless and weak!

However, just as he was feeling self-satisfied, the machine used to construct and maintain the existence of this card flickered with a fluctuation.

Hmm?

Chima Lingwang frowned deeply.

It seems that the data of only two people is ultimately insufficient—

This world should have some too, right?

My 【daughter】!

While he was thinking about his 【daughter】, in the 【F-Dimension】, his dear daughter Serena followed the guidance of the school and Jūdai, and arrived in front of the Red Academy grounds.

During this period, Sanze Dadi left the school as a student envoy to the Xyz Dimension, and Wan Zhang Mu was busy with company matters every day, so the entire Fusion Department seemed empty.

Now, the time was just about right; as a representative of the first-year freshmen, Serena naturally had the opportunity to participate in this month's dimensional travel.

Jūdai walked while asking Serena if she wanted him to follow.

Serena knew that Jūdai must have asked this question because he was idle and had nothing to do; he himself was definitely not a student who coveted "opportunities."

It's just that... today, she wanted to try something else, so... she didn't want Jūdai to follow her.

Therefore, before arriving at the scene, she told Jūdai to hurry up and do other things; she already had plenty of experience here and didn't need Jūdai to worry.

Although Jūdai had the intention to specifically protect Serena, she was so insistent that it wouldn't be appropriate for a boy like him to follow.

"Eh... it's a pity Asuka isn't here."

The Tenjou siblings went to Domino City for a trip under Chui Xue's lead—to be honest, he actually wanted to go to Domino City to visit Mr. Mutou, but it was a pity he didn't get to join in the fun.

Accompanied by the activation of the machine, Serena suddenly raised her left hand; the light of the dimensional gate slowly rotated, and then after a while, it suddenly turned green.

If Jūdai were here, seeing this change in color, he would probably have been able to pull Serena away instantly.

After all, Yuki Jūdai had experienced the destination being forcibly changed by Dadesi's alchemy, leading to other dimensions. But when a straightforward person starts playing schemes for the first time, it always leaves people less guarded.

Although Serena hadn't mastered the construction of dimensional gates, she had specifically studied how to change the destination.

After a while, she landed in an empty research institute, and almost instantly, she turned to the side and hid in a pitch-black corner.

She smelled a familiar scent in the air...

Sure enough!

The heart hanging in her chest died completely.

The dimension where Rin was imprisoned was indeed...

The Fusion Army headquarters!
