Chapter 517

Tenjou Hikari checked his deck. Serena, who was by his side, knew that her master had the habit of checking his deck after every duel, so she didn't disturb him and looked at Tenjou Hikari's deck curiously.

Serena was probably the person in the world who understood the composition of Tenjou Hikari's deck best besides Tenjou Hikari himself. In a situation where no one else knew of the existence of the card "Super Polymerization," Serena had even seen Tenjou Hikari use Super Polymerization twice.

Tenjou Hikari checked the deck. Besides the cards gifted by the Earthbound God, Tenjou Hikari also saw a few unfinished cards, which should have been cards constructed from the Duel Energy obtained from the duel with Ke Luo.

Of course, compared to these, there was more of the power Tiera had "absorbed."

Although he was not a local god of this world, as a Dark Signer, Tenjou Hikari's duels would, like Ke Luo defeating Zhen Si previously, theoretically enhance the power of his "Only God." However, nowadays, Tenjou Hikari hadn't even awakened or found the Earthbound Servitor Geoglyph Winged Dog, so this power was entirely absorbed by Tiera.

Of course, considering the gap between the two, even if it were found, this power would likely still belong to Tiera.

The day before yesterday, upon learning that Professor Chi Ma Professor Chi Ma Chima Chima Lingwang had actually come to this world, Tenjou Hikari directly changed his previous casual attitude, stayed up all night modifying the "Emerald Book," and then successfully returned to the Great Universe Workshop in the early morning, rushing to prepare everything that could be prepared in the near future.

Originally, he had thought about using the "Psi-End Punisher" to study for a while longer, to look for traces of "Darkness" in this world, but upon thinking that Professor Chi Ma Professor Chi Ma Chima Chima Lingwang was in this world, he felt he couldn't waste such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he directly used all materials and metal components to manufacture brand-new Tiera body components.

Lilith was emergency-refined under these circumstances.

Don't say, at critical moments, preparing early is indeed good.

Otherwise, he would have really had to use Super Polymerization to fight Ke Luo today.

The Spell and Trap cards in his deck basically couldn't solve the current situation immediately. Even cards like Flame Sword Dance or Chain-Linked Dragon Flame required drawing them and waiting another turn to use them.

So taking the time to manufacture Lilith and Adramelech was indeed put to use.

Thanks to the respected Professor Chi Ma Professor Chi Ma Chima Chima Lingwang, who could always guide himself onto a better path.

Tenjou Hikari muttered in his heart and glanced at Serena again. Serena was confused and looked at Tenjou Hikari with doubt.

Tenjou Hikari sighed helplessly.

As a result, just after he had finished tinkering with things all night and returned here, the first thing he received was the message Captain Niuwei had secretly sent him.

By now, Tenjou Hikari hadn't even slept, feeling his nerves were somewhat weak.

However, not sleeping for a day or two was no big deal for him. After all, when his Spirit Adaptability was at the five or six-star level, Tenjou Hikari's physical fitness already supported him in not sleeping for long periods and conducting alchemy experiments all night.

What truly made Tenjou Hikari feel mentally exhausted was that Serena had done this without discussing it with anyone, which truly gave him a headache.

Thinking that he had only one such "student" and it already made him feel exhausted, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Under Professor Professor Luonuosi, there were You Cheng Shi Dai, Wan Zhang Mu, Professor Dadesi, and so on, problematic students. If one were to count the savage-type students like "Papaya Tofu" or "Taishan," there were even more problems to face and deal with.

Tenjou Hikari pinched the bridge of his nose.

Although he dared to say he was absolutely one of Professor Professor Luonuosi's most worry-free students, he actually hadn't caused Professor Professor Luonuosi any less trouble.

Previously, when the Fallen Angel's apostles attacked the Academy Island, it was because they thought Tenjou Hikari and Professor Professor Luonuosi were too strong, so in order to unseal the Sacred Beasts, they used the power of Darkness and Fallen Angels to duel Professor Professor Luonuosi.

Although from the results, Professor Professor Luonuosi, as Acting Principal, couldn't let go of that kind of fallen teacher, but looking back at this moment, it still pitted the teacher quite a bit. Thinking of this, Tenjou Hikari sighed again.

After this is over, let's cooperate well with the Professor to do some promotional advertisements for the Academy.

Finally, flipping through, Tenjou Hikari discovered another brand-new card.

Co-Life Wing Garuda!

Wow—

Tenjou Hikari looked at the card and couldn't help but exclaim softly.

Has it finally arrived, the super-versatile Fusion Monster.

Tenjou Hikari looked at the card, and the images and text on the card flashed by in an instant.

It looked like the completion level was very low.

Tenjou Hikari didn't mind.

For the duel with Ke Luo, Tenjou Hikari had thought about whether he would obtain a Winged Beast-Type Fusion Monster, but according to Tenjou Hikari's thoughts, it was more likely to light up a Dark-Attribute Winged Beast-Type Fusion Monster like Gladiator Beast Nero.

But he didn't expect to skip Nero directly and light up this card.

As a Fusion Monster, this monster was a Winged Beast with two heads but only one body, and its fusion condition was the very simple and intuitive "two monsters of the same race and attribute but different card names."

Although the values were low, as a Fusion Monster, such a simple fusion condition was very suitable for "Super Polymerization" to use.

Moreover, it was also like the previous Old Gods, a card that allowed drawing a card upon being sent to the Graveyard—this card could also become Tiera's "cannonball," being discarded from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard.

However—

Looking at this completion level, Tenjou Hikari estimated that it probably couldn't be completed in this dimension.

After all, there were still a bunch of cards "lining up" ahead.

The simplest, most direct card Tenjou Hikari wanted to manufacture was the final component of the "Fusion Form" Tiera—Infernoid Tierra.

As a Fusion Monster, Tiera didn't have the invincible power of the complete form, but it also had a terrifying effect: the moment it appeared, if there were ten types of fusion materials, it could make both players' hands disappear in a second.

If the main attack was "hand destruction," the ten-material Tiera in the first turn was clearly very useful.

Especially in this world, because there was a Future Fusion in the form of an Equip Spell, and even a Continuous version of Future Fusion, no matter which of these two, one could fuse out Infernoid Tiera at the fastest speed and instantly clear both players' hands.

This strength was completely different from the environment before Tenjou Hikari crossed over—even in his world, unless it was a deck like Tearlaments that piled the Graveyard, eating Tiera's hand destruction in the first turn was basically a state of waiting for death.

Possessing such powerful might, yet when Tenjou Hikari dueled before, he could only "Future Fusion" Radiant Su Deli, but didn't directly bring out Tiera.

It wasn't because Tenjou Hikari wanted to go easy on Ke Luo, but because he couldn't do it.

He didn't have "Infernoid Tierra."

Because monsters like Fusion Substitute in the deck couldn't be used as "alternative materials," as they were defaulted to cards with no effects and only card names.

Only monsters in the hand, on the field, or in the Graveyard could be considered alternative materials, so Tenjou Hikari currently had no way to Future Fusion directly out a 10-material Tiera.

That was why he had to use Future Fusion to send the Fusion Substitute to the Graveyard in the first turn.

If he could manufacture "Tierra" again, then this trouble would be completely gone, and he could directly Future Fusion in the first turn, achieving Tenjou Hikari's current strongest "hand destruction tactic."

6 cards in the first turn, 0 cards in the second turn, who could play against that!

Unfortunately...

Monsters of the level of Tierra or Lilith had to use demons of the same level as base materials, and even as a base, they had to be monsters that left behind power from "Darkness"-level existences like Psi-End Punisher. Ordinary monsters couldn't be used as materials for this final component.

Such good things weren't so easy to come by.

Either change the Earthbound God to Tierra more directly, but that would count as a loss of Spirit power. Not to mention Ccapac Ccapac Apu hadn't done anything evil, and suddenly erasing someone else's carrier was something Tenjou Hikari couldn't do.

Not long after, You Xing arrived at the meeting point with a slightly heavy heart. Tenjou Hikari asked him about his appearance, and he sighed with emotion.

Gui Liu lost—this was of course, after all, he came back driving alive.

But more importantly, after Gui Liu lost the duel, he didn't resent himself like before, but said he had forgotten, forgotten the original intention at that time, forgotten that he should have settled the score with his good friends after completing the domination of the Lower Tier.

He forgot his original intention, attacking the police just for a more satisfying, more fulfilling duel. At that time, he was actually already unable to be satisfied forever, because his heart was completely empty.

"He finally disappeared..." You Xing said sadly, silently reaching into his pocket, taking out a card, and showing it to Tenjou Hikari.

Earthbound God Ccapac Ccapac Apu.

After the duel ended, Gui Liu told You Xing in the emptiness that in the previous duel, he saw You Xing modify himself to "save humanity," and he felt infinite emptiness. Although the duel hadn't ended, he knew he had lost at that time.

Because his heart and his philosophy could no longer keep up with the current You Xing.

So, during this time, he had been communicating with the Earthbound God, trying to persuade Him to support You Xing—so, this second duel wasn't a competition of strength, but a display, a "performance" to let Ccapac Ccapac Apu support You Xing.

And this, in fact, was one of the root purposes of the "ritual" of dueling.

"Gui Liu..." He looked at the card in his hand, unable to calm down for a long time. Even though the duel had ended, even though he had traveled through the wind for a long time, he had no way to calm down.

"Think on the bright side." Tenjou Hikari knew the Earthbound God wouldn't discard His apostle after using him. In the original work, Gui Liu was resurrected in a full-state, true-to-life manner. "Since you have already understood each other, then one day, you will be able to meet again at some time.

At least for now, you have completed the first step, truly letting an enemy, an Earthbound God, believe in and support your philosophy."

Tenjou Hikari turned his head and stretched out two fingers: "Counting Ccapac Ccapac Apu, You Xing, you have already obtained the recognition of at least 2 Earthbound Gods."

"Ccapac Ccapac Apu? That Sea God? Is He that easy to talk to..." He was slightly surprised.

What he asked Tenjou Hikari to find was the "Earthbound Servitor Geoglyph Winged Dog." Although he hadn't found it yet, Tenjou Hikari had said before that he had a lead, but he didn't expect Tenjou Hikari to bring out another Earthbound God.

Tenjou Hikari spread his hands: "This Earthbound God is very easy to talk to."

More than just easy to talk to, He was basically in a state of "do whatever you want, it's all fine."

As for the previously appeared "Wiraqocha Rasca," that is, the massive Vulture Sun-Moon God, although there was no communication, according to Tenjou Hikari's gains and feelings after the duel, that Bird God at least had no malice toward humanity.

And this was a huge gain for You Xing.

Reconnecting the "hearts" of all people and all gods, "harmonizing" with them, this was absolutely a world-class great undertaking and problem. But conversely, having now successively obtained the recognition of two gods of the past, the future became increasingly clear and visible, the future became increasingly "possible," while that ruined future gradually drifted away from this world.

While chatting, the two began to drive away. You Xing led the way for Tenjou Hikari, arriving at the safe house previously found for Hui Liu Li and the others.

There, Rin and Yu Wu cheered and welcomed You Xing. The two of them had grown up and learned following You Xing since childhood, viewing You Xing as their own relative and brother. During this time, You Xing had been hiding from them to conceal the fact that he had accepted human body modification and also for fear of scaring the children. Now that they finally saw You Xing again, they were naturally very excited.

Serena saw Hui Liu Li again and waved happily. Upon seeing Rin, she clearly fell into the life problem of "Who am I, where am I, who is she" once again, stunned in place.

Fortunately, Hui Liu Li had guessed this possibility early on and quickly opened up the topic. Thus, three girls who looked exactly the same except for their clothes appeared in front of everyone.

Although this was the case, they were still easy to distinguish. Although the three had the same appearance and height, their physiques were not the same. Hui Liu Li was clearly much more delicate than the other two girls. Rin was stronger than Hui Liu Li, but not by too much. Serena was completely different. Because she had been receiving training as a "Duel Warrior," her physical fitness was developed the strongest, and she was also the only one who had accepted "Spirit Adaptability Education," giving her an extra bonus, making her strength completely different.

But conversely, Serena was also the person most prone to not using her brain. Although Rin would also think, because of her experience of living with Yu Wu for many years, she would instinctively use her fists and feet... As for Hui Liu Li, she was the type who would also think about taking action in her head, inheriting their consistent habits, but because her thinking was clearer and her logical ability was better, she knew very well that her hands-on ability was not strong, so the first thing she usually did was duel.

"So you were directly controlled by power and fell unconscious when you wanted to duel?" You Xing frowned, "And they were targeting girls with Rin's appearance?"

Hui Liu Li nodded.

Yu Wu shouted and worried about Rin, while Rin elbowed Yu Wu as usual: "Idiot, anyway, there's Brother You Xing, what are you worried about."

"That's right—"

You Xing was truly too reliable, so when Rin mentioned You Xing, Yu Wu calmed down immediately.

You Xing shook his head helplessly.

Even he couldn't protect Rin every moment, not to mention that his surroundings would become increasingly dangerous.

"It's okay!" Serena bent her right arm and clenched her fist, "In the end, you were caught because you didn't have Spirit power. As long as you learn the technology of our dimension, you can change this kind of thing!"

She was very confident.

The other two girls looked at each other. Although they weren't that confident, they were quite interested upon hearing that they could see the legendary "Spirits."

And—

Just as the three girls, who looked like multiples, were as close as sisters, and were actually sisters, were chatting and discussing, Tenjou Hikari suddenly looked at the screen in the surveillance.

In the surveillance, the display screens and billboards on countless buildings suddenly changed, and the upper body of a person appeared.

He had a cold expression, no hair, and some machinery and a prosthetic eye installed on the left side of his face, looking calmly ahead.

Professor Chi Ma Professor Chi Ma Chima Chima Lingwang!

It seemed he had directly tampered with the content played on all the screens in the entire city.

Tenjou Hikari looked at You Xing and spoke: "You Xing—"

You Xing nodded.

His laboratory used future technology, so it was all content independent of the network, and tampering with it wouldn't match.

But, conversely, if he wanted to receive it, it was very simple.

"I am Professor Chi Ma Professor Chi Ma Chima Chima Lingwang.

Tenjou Hikari.

You are watching, right!"

Oh ho!?

This opening, could it be...

Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth wildly.
