Chapter 546: Watch Out for Artists Up, Down, Left, and Right (4k, seeking monthly tickets)

Returning to the Great Universe Workshop, the clanging sound echoed in the workshop incessantly.

When Tenjou Hikari went to 【The World of Forgetting】, a matter was also proceeding in an orderly manner in the Great Universe Workshop.

In front of the alchemy cauldron in the workshop, Alchemist of Black Magic and Witch of the Wardrobe were carefully directing the spirits in the workshop to pile up some materials.

Bai Jing, who had always only focused on his own work and never interfered with other spirits' work, was rarely nervously looking at the alchemy cauldron, while Tiera on the side was yawning, looking uninterested.

"What are you nervous about? Do you still doubt my calculations?"

"This... of course I wouldn't dare, Tiera..." Bai Jing didn't know how to respond; he was just nervous.

Tiera hummed twice. When she felt Tenjou Hikari return, she didn't pay attention to the alchemy cauldron, and the conversation with Bai Jing was just because she saw Bai Jing was too nervous and said it casually.

Accompanied by several mechanical spirits transporting metal and gemstone skirts, precisely throwing them into the alchemy cauldron, a "Perfect!" also erupted from the mouth of Alchemist of Black Magic.

It cheered excitedly.

Although it wasn't "Gold," it had moved forward again and again on its own path—today, it refined metal into gemstones, hey!

Boom—

The alchemy cauldron stopped operating, and a large amount of water vapor and residue were extracted from the alchemy cauldron. Accompanied by the illumination of the firelight, Witch of the Wardrobe also gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Success!

It thought excitedly in its heart.

It successfully achieved "Fusion" using "Craft Magic" in a place other than the Witchcrafter alley.

Accompanied by the two spirits responsible for coordination and cooperation finishing their work, the alchemy cauldron slowly opened, and a graceful figure slowly walked out from it.

It wore a cloak similar to Bai Jing's, but its figure was much slimmer and more slender than Bai Jing's. Gold-thread-like decorations filled its body from top to bottom. It was precisely the "Gem-Knight Lapis" that was undergoing transformation experiments.

However, at this very moment, it was not only much taller than before, but its appearance had also completely matured.

It transformed into a Fusion Monster—Gem-Knight Seraphinite!

As soon as it came out, it cheered excitedly, completely not looking as lonely as it used to, and became much more lively and active.

"Success—" Tenjou Hikari breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's a matter of course, this was personally overseen by me." Tiera raised her head again.

She actually didn't understand why Lapis couldn't evolve into a Fusion Monster before. In reality, Tiera wasn't someone who could see everything.

Just like before, Flame Sword and Dark Flame had always been unable to evolve. Tiera had always been unable to understand the reason. In her view, they had long reached the standard in terms of power.

Although Tiera was indeed a "God," she wasn't that kind of "omniscient and omnipotent God" in the conceptual sense, but a God who created ecosystems and carried out life cycles.

But, if someone pointed out the problem, for example, like Tenjou Hikari, who encountered the situation of "Cursed Seal" being fused into Chaos Phantom, thinking about extracting the Cursed Seal again, and then starting relevant research, and finally discovering the problem, then Tiera would know how to help Tenjou Hikari solve things.

Before, she thought Lapis didn't want to adventure with Tenjou Hikari's team, thinking it wanted to return to the Gem-Knight group, so Tiera was too lazy to care. But Witch of the Wardrobe said that Lapis's problem wasn't inability to evolve or insufficient energy, but that its evolutionary direction was forcibly locked and it couldn't move.

Where had she encountered this kind of situation?

In her world, Gem-Knights or any creature could fuse however they wanted, and could change into whatever life they wanted.

Because from the "beginning of design," they were like that.

She resurrected "Winda" with her own technology, then used her as her messenger, named her "Construct," and after that, Construct successfully helped her resurrect. After that, she didn't pay special attention to Construct.

And the result was—Construct, who wasn't controlled by her, completely resurrected and went back to live with her old friends and family.

There was no such thing as "cannot transform" in her concept!

The environment-transforming machines she made with her own hands were the best proof. As long as any race resonated with those machines, they could create different evolutionary directions. How could there be any restrictions...

It could only be said that spirits, this kind of creature, indeed still had many ecologies she couldn't understand to this day.

But no matter what.

Since she knew, then for her, it was simple instead.

Because it was very simple, with her current ability, changing her own "life state" was already easy. Before, she performed in front of Serena. Let alone mechanical life, she could even create carbon-based life herself.

With Witch of the Wardrobe, this professional, explaining, she figured out how to transform Lapis into a "Gem-Knight state" or even a "Universal Spirit state" in just a few days.

Incidentally, she thought about simply reproducing the possibilities in her memory, so that Lapis wouldn't appear too "out of place" among Tenjou Hikari's spirits.

After all, it was one of the very few spirits whose fusion form wasn't its own faction's Fusion Monster.

Originally, this matter should have been presided over by Tenjou Hikari, but 【World of Forgetting】 required specific time to go to, so Tiera let Tenjou Hikari go alone, put his heart down, and leave everything to her.

Not letting these weak mortal creatures see it, she felt too bored being a God.

"Thank you so much, Tiera!" Lapis bowed to Tiera excitedly. "In this way, I can finally take the initiative to apply to go into battle!"

Oh my—

She nodded silently, said hmm hmm twice, and casually dismissed Lapis.

She liked "Lapis" very much, appreciated "Bai Jing," and was satisfied with "Winda"—referring to their prototypes.

Although Bai Jing wasn't Bai Jing and Lapis wasn't Lapis, she didn't feel it was very important now.

Having experienced quite a few things with Tenjou Hikari and watched quite a few duels, she had already looked past the matter of "DT spirits."

Being happy herself was the best.

"Thank you for your hard work." Tenjou Hikari thanked Tiera on the side.

"Haha." Tiera laughed sincerely twice.

Because the time was very tight, Tenjou Hikari didn't dare to specifically set aside time to do Lapis's experiments with Witch of the Wardrobe and the others.

He had already contacted "Ansel" and "Hayato Maeda" before, agreed on the time, so he had to go to Industrial Illusions in a few days, and the World of Forgetting had to arrive on time. Considering he didn't know how long it would take there, he had to divide the work.

Tiera, if nothing else, in terms of life form transformation, could be said to be one of the Gods with the most say in the multiverse.

Her "colleague" Sophia probably wasn't as professional as her in this regard.

So in this matter, Tenjou Hikari was certainly very assured of Tiera.

"If I had known it was this simple beforehand, you should have just thrown this matter to Alchemist of Black Magic to do." Tiera crossed her arms, looking very uninterested. "I watched this duel. The forward direction of that world seems to have been completely determined because of your 【Fusion】.

But this process must be very slow.

If I were there, I could definitely easily accelerate the evolutionary process of the entire dimension."

"You haven't fully recovered yet, so you want to waste your power like this?" Tenjou Hikari spread his hands and said, "Forcibly resisting the resentment and pain of all the spirits in the entire spirit dimension, and then accelerating the evolutionary process of the entire world?"

He saw Tiera raise her eyebrows, looking very unhappy.

"Fine, I admit, you can indeed do it, but you aren't fully resurrected. After doing this kind of thing, how long will you have to sleep?"

"Ha, the power of Gods is even greater than you imagine, Tenjou Hikari—as my God-favored one, you should believe in me!" She glanced to the side twice.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Tenjou Hikari was happy, responding casually.

He felt that Tiera was forcibly changing Lapis's life state in the Great Universe Workshop in front of so many spirits, very much wanting to highlight her majesty, and even dared to say such nonsense.

However, he didn't need to completely expose Tiera's lie.

Like this kind of bluffing words, she was fully resurrected, and maybe she could still do it.

At least at this time, letting Tiera be more majestic in the eyes of the spirits was nothing—he noticed that even the Dog Demon and Phantom Demon spirits were shocked after watching this transformation, and couldn't help but discuss it in low voices.

This God "Tiera" of unknown origin really had some skills. No wonder Tenjou Hikari trusted her so much?

Transforming a transformation that theoretically required countless time and processes in just a few hours or perhaps even less, and completely without side effects, making that spirit called Lapis as if it had been like this since birth...

This kind of performance.

Changing the ecology and reincarnation of a world, it seemed it wasn't impossible?

A bit strong, a bit strong.

Tenjou Hikari didn't dwell on these problems. He took out his previous deck. Except for the "Memento" he obtained, the other cards of the World of Forgetting... no, "Memento Underworld" were also brought out incidentally.

Tenjou Hikari carefully extracted those forgotten cards from the deck, and then put them into his side deck to prevent them from being changed by Super Polymerization.

If there were no accidents, these monster cards should all turn into "Memento" in the future. Before that, let them feel the world of the living, the world of the beloved again.

"Memento Key Spirit." Tiera leaned her head over, looking at the monsters added to Tenjou Hikari's deck. "Hmm... the appearance is not bad, I like it very much."

Although it was different from the mechanical demon style of the Infernoid, this kind of skeleton angel also had its own style. The design felt very interesting, just within her range of preference.

Tenjou Hikari also nodded.

He had always liked the card art of the Memento series.

And speaking of card art...

Tenjou Hikari took out "Dragon-Magic Master," the "2D" card art monster that had his certain style and could be seen to be drawn after him, emitting a faint purple light.

Hmm.

Make some preparations, it's time to take a boat to Industrial Illusions.

Tenjou Hikari adjusted in the Great Universe Workshop for two days. On one hand, Tiera let him wash away the "spirit resentment" on his body, and incidentally raised some wounds. On the other hand, he was also continuing to hide from the limelight.

Although the fanaticism for him in Duel Academy had begun to decline, there were still many persistent reporters. Before school started, Tenjou Hikari certainly still preferred to be quiet.

Except for taking time to tell Chancellor Sheppard that Aster might come to school next semester, Tenjou Hikari had been studying the "Emerald Tablet."

Honestly, he was slightly surprised.

He had always thought that he had completely learned all the alchemy left by Professor Banner, but after completely obtaining the "Proof of the Three Sages," he found that there were still a few pages that were not allowed for him to see—it wasn't that he couldn't solve them, but after he solved the puzzles on them, he found that Professor Banner had left a few words, hoping Tenjou Hikari would not solve the second seal.

That is to say...

Could it be related to the "dimensional coordinates" of the mastermind behind the split spirit world?

Tenjou Hikari speculated that there was this possibility.

Among them, there was also a coordinate page number that Tenjou Hikari had an impression of before, but was buried to death.

Eldlich.

Does this place also not recommend me to go?

Tenjou Hikari naturally knew that Professor Banner knew "Eldlich." After all, Jūdai's Golden Captain, Tenjou Hikari's Golden Lord of the Land, had all studied there for a period of time.

He flipped through a few more pages.

Dark World - Shadow Dystopia and "Memento"?

He could barely understand the former.

Then why the latter?

Especially Memento. Tenjou Hikari actually saw Professor Banner's note behind this coordinate, and it was also the only special note of his in the entire "Emerald Tablet"—

Those who do art are all lunatics!

Tenjou Hikari looked confused.

He remembered that this card was just a normal card in "5D's." He didn't expect this Memento dimension to be evaluated like this by Banner.

Until Tenjou Hikari said goodbye to Chancellor Sheppard and boarded the ship to "Industrial Illusions," Tenjou Hikari was thinking about this matter.

The more it wasn't allowed to be seen, the more curious it made people, especially when Tenjou Hikari already knew the situation of Eldlich, looking at his alchemy teacher specifically marking some dimensions he didn't want Tenjou Hikari to go to, it made him even more curious.

And among these countless curiosities, this Memento looked ordinary at first glance, but it was actually placed together with a bunch of "expert dimensions" and even specially cared for, which made people even more curious.

More importantly...

The president of Industrial Illusions, the father of Duel Monsters, the owner of the Millennium Eye, Maximillion Pegasus...

He was a genuine 【Artist】, a stunningly talented 【Painter】!

A few days later.

Tenjou Hikari got off the boat with a few people, looked up, and saw Ansel waiting for him.

Ansel still had a smile on his face, without any sign of being depressed in private, and enthusiastically welcomed Tenjou Hikari: "Wow! Look who's here—isn't this our world's number one Fusion user, Tenjou Hikari!"

"Eh... uh..." Tenjou Hikari walked down stiffly, rarely failing to respond to his friend properly.

The reason was very simple—

Everywhere in the port, there were "Q-version" balloons of Tenjou Hikari, with ridiculous smiles and amazing proportions, making Tenjou Hikari, who dared to speak of his beliefs in front of countless people, feel somewhat embarrassed.

Not far away, the Paradox Brothers were also waving at Tenjou Hikari, and Hayato Maeda was scratching the back of his head awkwardly, looking like he wasn't used to this scene either.

"Hahaha, surprised?" Ansel suddenly laughed.

"This was specially prepared for you by the President. How is it—interesting, right? Hahaha, alright, Student Tenjou, the President has really been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Waiting for you, this 【Fusion】 duelist who makes him feel amazed and pure!"
