Chapter 594: Answer Me (1w, seeking monthly tickets)

Yubel was a very cunning existence.

Long before descending into the human dimension, Yubel had specifically studied everyone around Judai.

Precisely because of this, even though Sho had grown and Kenzan had the spiritual support of dinosaur bones, they lost to her one-sidedly in the duel.

Although her own dueling ability and spirit power far exceeded ordinary creatures and even Sacred Beast-level monsters, wanting to easily defeat any duelist was not something that could be done just by thinking about it.

Specialized targeting, specialized destruction, specialized influence—each was indispensable.

Simply using cards to target enemies was certainly effective, but the best method to target humans was always to attack the gaps in their hearts.

Only in this way would victory be stable!

Although it wasn't her own descent and the cards in her hand were not as powerful as her true deck, the cards born under the power of Darkness and the Light of Destruction were still far superior to ordinary human decks.

Not only that, before the duel, she had specifically studied all the details of Tenjou Hikari...

However, she didn't expect that from the beginning of the duel to now, no matter which direction she attacked Tenjou Hikari's mentality from—whether using morality, cards never seen before, or the disasters encountered by humanity itself—none of them truly struck Tenjou Hikari.

In the end, the "slow effect damage torture" intended to torture Tenjou Hikari's spirit and make him reveal flaws was even utilized in reverse, becoming his means to recover LP!

This made Yubel feel long-lost pressure...

But at least for now, she still had other strategies to continue the fight.

After all, in order to protect his LP, Tenjou Hikari used the most precious Spell Card, "Future Fusion," to summon DDD Oracle King d'Arc. In this way, countering with the power of Future Fusion was not such an easy thing.

Tenjou Hikari held up a card in his hand and said to his opponent: "Normal Summon, Level 2, Dragonmaid Laundry."

"Awoo~" A small dragon-person jumped in front of Tenjou Hikari and huffed at Yubel.

Dragonmaid Laundry, Level 2, Water Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 500.

"When Dragonmaid Laundry is Normal or Special Summoned, I can activate its effect. Send the top three cards of my deck to the Graveyard." Tenjou Hikari looked at his opponent coldly and said: "Do you want to activate an effect?"

"Effect? What are you talking about?" Yubel scrutinized Tenjou Hikari.

"As long as it's about Fusion, I will learn and understand—Oneiros the Dream Mirror Terror has the ability to negate the effects of opponent's monsters if Dream Mirror of Chaos is on the field, right?" Tenjou Hikari narrowed his eyes, carefully examining this male dream demon, his tone firm. "Now, I summoned a monster and activated an effect. How about it? Do you want to respond to this effect?"

Did he even know the effects of cards that hadn't existed before, cards born just today?

Yubel was a bit surprised.

But immediately after, she had to start considering what Tenjou Hikari said.

Should she activate this effect?

Dragonmaid Laundry was just an effect of sending the top three cards of the deck to the Graveyard. If it were in the past, she wouldn't even consider it.

However, she had also specifically studied Tenjou Hikari's deck and knew that there were a large number of cards in Tenjou Hikari's deck that could trigger effects when sent to the Graveyard.

But at the same time, this effect wasn't necessarily useful.

Three cards—and with the power of Darkness and the Light of Destruction, three cards shouldn't have any particularly powerful effects.

"I will not activate it."

Tenjou Hikari nodded. On the side, Dragonmaid Laundry had already giggled and taken out a bucket from somewhere, splashing water out with a swoosh. Three cards followed its action and were sent from the top of the deck to the Graveyard.

Fusion Birth, Gem-Knight Lazuli, Fluffal Owl.

A very terrible dump!

Yubel sneered.

"The effect of Lazuli." Tenjou Hikari looked at the Graveyard, picked up the card, and spoke again: "If this card is sent from the hand or deck to the Graveyard, I can send 1 card from my hand to the Graveyard and Special Summon this card."

Lazuli?

Yubel already knew the effect of this card through secret observation.

That was a powerful monster that could search for "Gem-Knight Dispersion."

If Tenjou Hikari got Gem-Knight Dispersion, fused Prisma and other cards through Extra Deck Fusion, and then used the effect of Gem-Knight Master Diamond to copy the effect of Prisma in the Graveyard to directly destroy her Continuous Trap and attack, she would have the risk of losing.

Not only that, discarding one card from the hand to Special Summon, he could also send Fluffal Chain, which couldn't be discarded, to the Graveyard, which would allow him to add Fusion materials and Fusion to his hand.

No matter what, he couldn't be allowed to activate this effect successfully.

"The effect of Oneiros!"

The male dream demon raised his left hand, and pitch-black energy gathered in his hand, then turned into an intangible mirror, slowly pressing down on Lazuli, who was preparing to be Special Summoned from the Graveyard. The card's body was pierced by the mirror, and its effect turned into ashes like a bubble in a dream.

"Damn it—" Avian saw this scene and finally couldn't help but curse, "Even this was defended against, this bastard—"

Usually, Captain Gold would step in to teach Avian a lesson and tell him to speak properly, but this time he remained silent, even slightly agreeing.

Judai watched this scene in a trance, vaguely feeling a sense of familiarity.

"Then, activate my face-down card, Trap Card, Fusion Replication!" Tenjou Hikari raised his hand and said, "Banish one Fusion Spell Card from either Graveyard and activate that card's effect when it was activated."

"Tsk, so that was the idea." Yubel sneered.

If she had known in advance, she would have mostly chosen to negate Dragonmaid Laundry's effect.

Tenjou Hikari picked up Fusion Birth from the Graveyard and put it into the card box at his waist. Then Dragonmaid Laundry stirred Tenjou Hikari's deck happily. A moment later, five cards were sent from the top of Tenjou Hikari's deck to the Graveyard.

Tenjou Hikari glanced at them.

Gem-Knight Garnet, Cyber Dragon, Fusion Deployment, Brilliant Fusion, Gem-Knight Fusion.

"Ha, hahahaha—" Seeing these five cards, Yubel couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Five cards, and there are only two monsters. There is no way to perform a Fusion. Rather, except for Brilliant Fusion, not a single card is useful."

"Tsk, why is it so terrible." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu's face was ugly.

These five cards dumped down, and it seemed there was no use at all.

"No—"

Tenjou Hikari shook his head calmly: "That's not necessarily true."

Everyone present was stunned.

"Fusion is ever-changing. Why would you think that these two monsters cannot be fused?"

What?

Cyber Dragon and Gem-Knight, can they also be fused?

"The Fusion condition is... a Machine-Type monster and a Pyro-Type monster!"

Cyber Dragon and Garnet in the Graveyard jumped up and appeared in front of Tenjou Hikari.

The mechanical dragon head slowly transformed under the blessing of flames, and infinite raging fire and steam filled the entire pitch-black mirror world.

"Fusion Summon—"

"Level 6, Vulcan the Divine."

A mechanical dinosaur swung its huge tail and appeared with a wild laugh.

Vulcan the Divine, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 2300.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 1800 → 2100.

A monster never seen before—

Yubel was shocked in her heart.

Tenjou Hikari laughed.

Tenjou Hikari had many cards in his hand that had never been used and were just standing by. Tenjou Hikari almost never used these cards and almost never activated their effects themselves.

Such as the Infernoid series of cards, such as the Cyber Eternity Dragon that hadn't been used yet.

But not using them didn't mean he didn't have them.

For example, this Vulcan was one of the parting gifts given to him by Zone of the S-Dimension. Before he left the S-Dimension, Zone had given him almost all the Fusion monsters circulating in the S-Dimension, but he never had a chance to use them.

Tenjou Hikari had long known that he would be targeted by Yubel sooner or later, so Tenjou Hikari was prepared to use different cards in different environments.

"The effect of Vulcan the Divine! When this card is Fusion Summoned, choose one monster on the opponent's field and activate it. The chosen opponent's monster and this card are destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. After that, inflict damage to the opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed opponent's monster!"

"Ah!?" Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu was shocked.

Tenjou Hikari pointed at the Sacred Beast Emperor: "I choose... the Sacred Beast Emperor!"

The Sacred Beast Emperor's ATK was 4000!

If it were detonated by Tenjou Hikari's effect at this time, then "Kagurazaka" would lose directly!

He wanted to cheer.

Unfortunately—

"Activate Trap Card, Safe Zone!"

A trap card flipped open, green fluorescent light shrouded the world, and then covered the Sacred Beast Emperor.

"Target 1 face-up Attack Position monster you control; activate this card. While this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, that face-up monster cannot be targeted by opponent's effects, cannot be destroyed by battle or effects, and cannot attack the opponent directly. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card."

Bang!

Vulcan rushed in front of the Sacred Beast Emperor, grabbed its limbs, and then exploded with a boom.

Heavy smoke shrouded the entire environment, but accompanied by the invasion of darkness, the smoke gradually dissipated.

When the smoke completely dissipated, the Sacred Beast Emperor stood calmly on the field, even revealing a strange smile identical to its master.

The only monster destroyed was Tenjou Hikari's monster!

Because the Sacred Beast Emperor was not destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, Tenjou Hikari could not inflict damage to the opponent!

Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu watched from the side, his palms sweating.

He didn't know if it was because he was worried about Tenjou Hikari or because the power of darkness was invading his heart, but he became more and more nervous, and cold sweat began to seep from his forehead.

A voice kept echoing in his heart.

It's over, it's over, it's over, we're going to lose, we're going to lose, we're going to lose, Tenjou is going to lose!

If he loses, what should I do? Can I avenge him?

No matter how he tried to control his thoughts, no matter how hard he tried not to think about it, these thoughts in his brain grew wildly like bamboo shoots after rain.

He...

Was afraid!

On the other side, Judai was in a trance.

When he noticed something strange, he couldn't help but start to reflect.

He always felt that the heroes' attitudes were very strange, and he also always felt that the strange existence opposite him, that third eye, made him feel familiar.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly realized.

"Yubel..."

Yubel shuddered from head to toe, then took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, and spoke calmly: "It seems you finally remembered, Judai."

Several heroes froze instantly. The memories they had always wanted to keep Judai from recalling seemed to be loosening.

"That's right, Judai. I am the one who has been tortured by you all along, the one you sent to another dimension... Yubel. Now, I have returned to find you," Yubel used Kagurazaka's body to say such terrifying words, staring at Judai as if she wanted to swallow him alive.

Judai fell into a daze.

He remembered.

Why couldn't he remember before?

His memory of childhood was actually particularly deep. After all, he never had playmates when he was a child, so the only way to entertain himself was naturally duel cards.

As his card, he shouldn't have forgotten Yubel, but why...

He suddenly remembered.

When he was a child, after the cards he designed were sent to another dimension by Kaiba Corporation, his parents took him to the largest hospital under Kaiba Corporation. There, Judai, whose body was heaven-defyingly strong, underwent a surgery...

Memory erasure surgery!

He remembered!

He remembered everything!

His parents thought that the people around Judai were always suffering, not because Judai was a "jinx," but because there was an evil card in his deck. In order not to let Judai be sad, they sent Judai's cards to another dimension, then used their connections to modify Judai's memory, letting him forget the pain of childhood and grow up normally!

He remembered that he wasn't always the "Demon King" in the eyes of children; he once had times when he played peacefully with friends—

It was...

Yubel!

The reason he was always treated as a "villain" when he was a child...

Then, his pupils constricted, and he remembered other things.

In the deck of 【The Supreme King】, he had once seen... another Yubel card!

He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He wasn't a "villain" from childhood, he...

"Since you have remembered, then I don't need to pretend anymore." Yubel sneered, completely controlling Kagurazaka, pressing his spirit into the corner of the dream. Kagurazaka's eyes also changed color under her control.

"In this way, you understand, right?" Yubel said with a hint of expectation. "Judai, you sent me to the most distant dimension. I was tortured by the cracks between dimensions, by the power of darkness and destruction, by the power that tore apart the spirit world. This pain makes me understand your love for me—Judai!"

She was mad.

Tierra rarely seriously considered the mental state of Tenjou Hikari's opponent.

Undoubtedly, Yubel was mad.

Whether it was external power, spirit power, or torture, in short, under extreme pressure, this top-level demon was mad.

She seemed to treat the pain she experienced as Judai's love for her, and then turned around, wanting to use the same method to torture the people around Judai?

No wonder she targeted Tenjou Hikari.

Torturing Judai's best friend is mental torture for him, is love for him?

What a twisted idea.

Tierra shook her head.

Thoughts without rationality and calculation.

At the same time, Judai also completely understood the cause and effect.

He knew why Yubel tortured Sho and Kenzan, why she controlled Kagurazaka, why she continued to torture him in the opponent's dream, and why the heroes were so worried and afraid of Yubel.

Because...

At this very moment, Judai also instinctively felt...

Fear!

Without him noticing, wisps of black energy secretly seeped into his body from all directions.

His hands trembled. At this moment, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, returned to that afternoon, returned to the days when all the children avoided him.

At that time, at this moment, everything seemed to have returned to the origin.

Was he going to lose everything again?

"Rest assured." On the side, Tenjou Hikari spoke leisurely. "Even if the hour hand of the clock returns to the origin, time has already rotated a full circle."

"You didn't know back then, but now you know everything. And as your friend, as the target of the 【Attack】, I also know everything... So, Judai, I will never resent you. Even if this duel is lost, it is not your fault, but my Fusion—not Fusion enough!"

Judai gave a sudden jolt!

He shook his head and patted his face. The black energy that had taken advantage of the situation slowly dissipated from his body.

That's right—

It's different, everything is different!

Yubel looked cold and completely stopped tolerating Tenjou Hikari's behavior: "I won't allow you to instill these messy ideas into my Judai again."

"Judai is mine..."

"Yours? What yours, yours? I've said it clearly enough, right! Mutual respect, treating and understanding each other well—that's what a partner is. Judai is an independent existence, not your thing!"

Yubel's face was gloomy. She had already decided that after controlling Tenjou Hikari's body, she would repeat all these words to Judai again.

"At this point, what can you do?" Yubel sneered.

Tenjou Hikari's means were exhausted, the destruction effect was blocked, the 4000 ATK Sacred Beast Emperor and the 3000 ATK Dream Demon were not so easy to destroy. Not only that, if Tenjou Hikari wanted to attack, he had to discard cards to do so.

In this situation, how could Tenjou Hikari defeat her?

In her next turn, Dream Mirror could change color again. By then, Dream Mirror of Terror Oneiros could transform into Dream Mirror of Chaos Oneiros, which not only had a negation effect but could also destroy a card on the field.

In the last turn, Chimerafflesia was not sent to the Graveyard, and Tenjou Hikari didn't search for any powerful Fusion Spell Cards. Although Fusion Birth fused Vulcan, the dumping of other cards could only be called a disaster.

"What can I do? I can only do one thing, and that is—Fusion."

"Fusion? Heh..." Yubel sneered.

She knew Fusion inside and out. Judai's soul possessed the strongest "Fusion" power in the world. How could a mere human from who knows where know the true power of Fusion?

Although she didn't gain an advantage in words, Yubel didn't care.

Indeed, Tenjou Hikari's words made her extremely angry, but she had already suffered enough torture and pain. No matter how good it sounded, she wouldn't care.

Because she only needed Judai. On the other side, Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu was already having trouble breathing. He looked at Judai, panting and sweating, and asked: "What exactly is going on, Judai..."

Judai fell into silence.

Although the surgery his parents performed on him when he was a child made him almost perfectly forget this childhood experience, as he grew up, as his spirit power increased exponentially, and as more and more spirits gathered around him, he gradually realized the inconsistency of his memory.

Plus, he had dueled The Supreme King for more than two months, and vaguely, he had developed some kind of wonderful connection...

After remembering "Yubel" today, he vaguely "remembered" many things.

But—

These memories, although they were his memories, were not his memories.

When he saw the things in these memories, he didn't feel familiar or nostalgic; on the contrary, he just had a feeling like watching a movie.

Indeed, he in the memory seemed to be him, but he in the memory didn't do the things in the memory.

The Supreme King...

He realized that that should be the experience of his "past life."

No, can it really be called a "past life"?

Judai thought of the mirror Tenjou Hikari made, the mirror that could see his heart.

Was he "The Supreme King" or "Judai," or... neither.

Because, in his memory, a picture emerged.

His 【Father King】 said to a delicate young man—his son, his prince, the future heir of this country, was born with terrifying dark power in his body. One day, he would suffer because of this dark power. I hope that at that time, you can protect him forever.

Dark power—

Judai instinctively clutched his forehead.

Wrong.

He was not... 【Human】.

There was never any so-called 【Reincarnation】!

He finally understood that he was neither The Supreme King nor "Judai," but both The Supreme King and "Judai."

He and The Supreme King 【existed simultaneously】!

Because he was not a human in the conventional sense and did not have a human "soul." Instead, his so-called soul was the vast 【Cosmic Darkness】. That was the reason why the spirits could see at a glance that he was "The Supreme King"!

He was scared by his own thoughts.

He instinctively shuddered, and this made Yubel even more excited.

Fear me, fear me, Judai!

This is my love—

Coming back to his senses, Judai looked at Tenjou Hikari. Compared to humans, non-humans, and other messy things, the top priority was that Hikari couldn't have an accident!

He braced his spirit.

Having experienced many hardships and growing up with Tenjou Hikari and Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu, Judai had a living environment that seemed almost perfect in his childhood eyes. In this case, he naturally didn't want his friends to be hurt because of him.

Having experienced the guidance of Professor Mengjiang and witnessed the existence of the Fusion Army, he was already very clear about one thing.

【Malice】 cannot be tolerated—

"Hikari, come on!!" He stood up suddenly and cheered for Tenjou Hikari.

This voice fell into Yubel's ears, even more ear-piercing and painful than the countless truths Tenjou Hikari used to refute her.

"Judai, even after remembering me, do you still treat me like this? Is this your love for me?"

Judai's forehead felt a pain.

He 【remembered】 what he said to Yubel when he was The Supreme King.

【My love belongs to you forever】.

But after he was born as Yuki Judai, all his memories were lost. Then, after countless years of torture by Yubel, she turned into a card spirit, was designed into a card by the designers of Industrial Illusions, and finally completely reunited with him...

This was his fault—

He had to admit that this was definitely his fault.

Because he didn't remember this, because he didn't keep the promise.

But...

He remembered the children and other relatives who were tortured because of Yubel when he was a child, and even his parents...

This was definitely wrong!

"No—Yubel, this has nothing to do with 【Love】, but responsibility. What we carry on our shoulders is the lives of the students in the school. I will never allow you to trample on them wantonly!" Judai interrupted Yubel's words very firmly. "I am very sorry for forgetting you, but—that has nothing to do with now!"

Deal with the matter as it stands.

This was the truth Judai completely understood.

"Hikari! Come on!!"

"It's come to this, and you're still holding on. Then wait until I defeat Tenjou Hikari and let this island fall into complete darkness, and then we will have a happy reunion party."

Yubel sneered: "Besides, even if you really have any means of counterattack, can you attack this body? This body of Kagurazaka?"

A ferocious and terrifying look appeared on her face: "Now, Kagurazaka's soul and body are being extracted by the power of light and darkness. His body is getting worse and worse. As long as there is a little damage, he will probably be beaten to death alive, right?"

"Hahaha, being beaten to death by the department head he trusts most, such an ending is not bad for Kagurazaka—"

"After all, the thing you people like to do most is this, right!"

Seemingly because of Judai's words, her mood was quite bad, and she had started to attack personalities indiscriminately.

"Ha... why can't I?" Tenjou Hikari refuted.

Yubel frowned.

"Who said I would attack Kagurazaka?" Tenjou Hikari said slowly, "Yubel, the thing I like most is to make other people's conspiracies fall through. And I also like... using the enemy's attack on me to refute the enemy."

Tenjou Hikari narrowed his eyes: "Let's use 【Painful Torture】 in reverse—"

"Activate the effect of Substitution Fusion in the Graveyard, return Vulcan from the Graveyard to the deck, banish Substitution Fusion, and draw a card."

"The effect of Brilliant Fusion, draw a card!"

Tenjou Hikari scanned the cards in his hand quickly.

"Spell Card, Brilliant Fusion!"

Tenjou Hikari played the card Yubel used before with a slap.

"Brilliant Fusion can use monsters from the deck as Fusion materials to perform a Fusion Summon of a Gem-Knight."

"The Fusion condition is Gem-Knight Lazuli and a Gem-Knight monster!"

"I send Gem-Knight Lazuli and Gem-Knight Sapphire from the deck to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon!"

The yellow gem slowly fell from the sky, and then, a slender lady slowly appeared.

"Level 5, Gem-Knight Lady Hui Liu Li!"

Gem-Knight Lady Hui Liu Li, Level 5, Earth Attribute, Rock-Type, ATK 0.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 2100 → 2400.

"The effect of Gem-Knight Lady Hui Liu Li: Once per turn, during my Main Phase, I can send 1 Gem-Knight monster from my deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard and inflict 500 points of damage to the opponent for each Special Summoned monster on the opponent's field! I send Gem-Knight Tourmaline from the deck to the Graveyard!"

"What?!"

Yubel was shocked.

Bypassing battle and dealing damage directly to the duelist.

And—

The small gem girl appeared beside her. She raised the gem in her hand calmly, and then emitted a dazzling light.

"Answer me, Yubel, is your so-called 【Love】 really love? Is it a desire for control or care! Do you dare to say it!"

"You babbling guy——————" Yubel was anxious, her whole body emitting black smoke.

Yubel, LP: 4000 → 2500.

"Spell Card, Gem-Knight Dispersion!" Tenjou Hikari then played another Fusion, "When Gem-Knight Fusion is in the Graveyard, I can use up to two Gem-Knight monsters other than Rock-Type from the Extra Deck and deck as Fusion materials to perform a Fusion Summon."

"I send Gem-Knight Hui Liu Li on the field, and Gem-Knight Sapphire and Gem-Knight Prisma from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon!"

"Gem-Knight Master Diamond!"

The noble knight waved the great sword embedded with gems and stood calmly on the earth.

Gem-Knight Master Diamond, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Rock-Type, ATK 2900.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 2400 → 2700.

Tenjou Hikari's LP had already surpassed Yubel's current LP!

Yubel's face was a bit ugly.

In the duel, her "suffering" and "torture" turned into "healing" and "care," turning into Tenjou Hikari's power—

This "intention" made her feel uneasy.

It was as if all the "torture" she had inflicted on Judai all along had turned into "growth" with Tenjou Hikari's help.

"The effect of Master Diamond: Once per turn, banish one Level 7 or lower Gem-Knight Fusion monster from the Graveyard to gain its original name and effect!"

Yubel was stunned.

In this situation—

"Banish Gem-Knight Hui Liu Li from the Graveyard!" Tenjou Hikari waved his hand, and the power of Hui Liu Li blessed Master Diamond's great sword, emitting brilliant light.

"Hui Liu Li can only be Special Summoned once per turn, but Hui Liu Li's effect is not once per turn. Therefore, Gem-Knight Master Diamond, which copied Hui Liu Li's effect, can also activate this effect!"

Tenjou Hikari narrowed his eyes and pointed at Yubel: "Once more, send Gem-Knight Crystal from the deck to the Graveyard and inflict 500 points of damage for each Special Summoned monster on the opponent's field!"

Master Diamond raised his sword high, as if loading ammunition. A gem on the sword lit up, and then, beside Yubel, Hui Liu Li appeared again.

This—

"Answer me, Yubel, after the change occurred, was your protection of Judai really excessive? Can the pain suffered by Judai's friends really make Judai happy, and can it really make Judai feel love!!?"

Boom—

Yubel's eyes flickered.

"Damn it, the power of this body is too weak, it can't exert my ability at all..." Yubel cursed with a cold face, feeling the damage.

If she could use her own power, it would definitely not be like this now!

Yubel, LP: 2500 → 1000.

"However, I still have LP..." Yubel had a crazy smile on her face. "If you want to defeat me, you must enter the Battle Phase. Then, Judai, your dear department head will kill your classmate."

Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu and Judai looked serious.

They didn't want Tenjou Hikari to lose, but they didn't want Tenjou Hikari to bear the crime of killing a classmate even more.

"Heh... indeed there will be battle, but it won't be the scene you expect—not even one!" Tenjou Hikari pointed at the Dream Demon on the opponent's field. "Battle Phase, Chimerafflesia attacks. Because of the effect of Toll on the field, I must discard a card from my hand to attack."

Tenjou Hikari held up the card in his hand: "I send Fluffal Chain from my hand to the Graveyard! Attack."

"Do you want to activate an effect? Chimerafflesia's ATK can defeat a monster with 4500 ATK..."

"No, I will not activate Chimerafflesia's effect."

"Because Fluffal Chain was sent to the Graveyard, I activate its effect to add Edge-Imp Saw from the deck to my hand."

The flower knew its master's thoughts. It didn't hesitate, waving its vines to fight the Dream Demon. Before long, its vines were completely integrated into the mirror, and it appeared in the nightmare shortly after.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 2700 → 2200.

"Hurting yourself?" Yubel was shocked again.

"As a department head, protecting members is my responsibility—End Battle Phase!"

Tenjou Hikari played the card in his hand: "Yubel, your conspiracies and your calculations are the reason for your failure; your schemes are the result of your suffering."

"Use this card to end this duel!"

"The effect of Edge-Imp Scythe, add Edge-Imp Saw from the deck and Fusion from the deck to my hand!"

"Spell Card, Fusion—" Tenjou Hikari held up the card he just got, his face cold, and said.

"The Fusion condition is Edge-Imp Saw and a Fluffal monster. I fuse Fluffal Bear from my hand and Edge-Imp Saw from my hand."

"Become a burly lion!"

The power of the Earthbound Immortal surged on Tenjou Hikari. He put his hands together and clapped in front: "Fusion Summon!"

"Level 7, Frightfur Sabre-Tooth!"

A lion doll fell into the mirror.

In the mirror, Kagurazaka saw this cute doll and instinctively wanted to hug it, but then, a buzzing saw sound came from the doll's body. Its body was cut by saws, countless limbs and body parts separated, turning into a ferocious demon!

Kagurazaka was startled, fell backward, and then fell out of the "dream" into the infinite darkness outside the dream.

Frightfur Sabre-Tooth, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2400.

"After the Battle Phase, another Fusion..." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu looked at this monster and asked, "Since that's the case, it means it wasn't summoned for battle."

"The effect of Sabre-Tooth can only be activated once per turn. During the turn this effect is activated, this card cannot attack directly."

"Target 1 face-up monster on the opponent's field. Destroy that monster and inflict damage equal to its original ATK."

Yubel's third eye emitted a strange red light.

Damn it—

This is different from what she thought!

This body is too weak, there is no way to duel with full strength at all!

If her mental attack could work, maybe she could fight this Tenjou Hikari.

But now it seems that all the preparations are meaningless to Tenjou Hikari!

Because he is a comprehensive, flawless person, an extreme duelist who pursues Fusion, a human who doesn't care about anything else!

Whether it is threats or psychological attacks, none of them work!

She couldn't help but want to use the last resort—call upon the power of Darkness again, modify Tenjou Hikari's memory, and make him fall into chaos.

But—

While Tenjou Hikari was calling for Sabre-Tooth, a picture flashed in his mind.

"What's wrong?" Tierra noticed the abnormality.

Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but laugh: "I seem to... have caused some incident when I was a child using this card, making people fall into a coma."

Tierra was surprised and revealed a mischievous smile.

There is such a thing, tell me about it—

"However, it's impossible!" Tenjou Hikari continued, "Even if it's my memory, even if it's a friend's statement, even if it's a teacher's teaching, even if the world is telling me that this happened in this world, it is absolutely impossible!"

"Because my Fusion, my extreme, my duel—absolutely never had such a thing happen!"

"If memory, the world, and my Fusion are different, then it is... my memory, this world is wrong!"

! ？？？？？

How could the power of Darkness be seen through so easily!?

That human named Paladin probably still thinks he might have had a girlfriend named Angelica, right!?

Why didn't Tenjou Hikari doubt it at all?

Isn't this a complete madman!?

"The effect of Sabre-Tooth, activate! Destroy Oneiros the Dream Mirror Terror on your field and inflict 3000 points of effect damage to you!"

Sabre-Tooth raised its claws high, and the saws on the claws popped out, scraping Oneiros the Dream Mirror Terror. The saws didn't stop, then rushed toward Kagurazaka's body. The saws, like a ring tearing everything apart, landed on his forehead, on the 【Eye】 watching here.
