Chapter 597: Restless Destiny (4k)

Throughout the day, except for the initial duel and helping in the infirmary, Tenjou Hikari spent the rest of his time urgently researching and collecting information about Tenjouin Chifubuki.

Fortunately, although Tenjou Hikari "couldn't remember" Tenjouin Chifubuki, Tierra remembered it clearly.

Although she herself had no interest in other humans, as a machine god, she wouldn't forget what she had seen or heard. After Tenjou Hikari asked this question and valued it, she temporarily built a brand-new player in the Great Universe Workshop so that Tenjou Hikari could see it.

And as Tenjou Hikari watched, he gradually remembered all these memories.

Besides that, Wan Zhang Mu also searched for other information in the academy.

According to his search, in fact, Tenjouin Chifubuki, Marufuji Ryo, and another person whose name he didn't know were actually called the Three Heroes of the Academy at that time.

This was completely different from the "Kaiser of Duel Academy" in his impression—even if he investigated and remembered that there was indeed a Chifubuki called "King of Duel Academy," he didn't know at all that they had a best friend.

And when Tenjou Hikari integrated all this information, he suddenly remembered everything.

Existence erasure!

Another more powerful power of Darkness was not memory modification, but directly erasing the sense of existence of a certain person in the consciousness of all humanity. In the original work, only Chifubuki, who once possessed the power of Darkness, realized this and helped Judai find that "Fujiwara Yusuke."

It seems that in this world, for some reason, Darkness even erased the existence of Tenjouin Chifubuki.

Why?

He was very puzzled. Even if Chifubuki and Asuka were not in the academy now, they were outside the school learning entertainment dueling...

Even if there was really something that could target him, logically speaking, there was no need to target—

No!

Tenjou Hikari suddenly realized.

If Tenjouin Chifubuki and Asuka were really outside the school, then Darkness didn't need to do this. Conversely, it was very likely that they, like Edo at the time, had just landed on the island before the academy was sealed!

Then, he thought of another point.

Chifubuki used the power of Darkness so many times, and even vaguely adapted to the power of Darkness when dueling Kaiser... If this method could be taught to everyone, then it might be possible to directly resist mental strikes.

I'm afraid this is the reason why Darkness didn't want people to know and find him!

But—

He was worried that after he left, his memory would be erased again.

"I also observed this point before." Tierra, like Doraemon, raised a finger and laughed, "Since that Paladin started, I was very curious about how this was done.

After even your memory was affected, I was even more surprised.

After all, no matter what, with the protection of Sacred Beasts and Earthbound Immortals, there is no possibility of being modified memory."

These gods and demons were definitely far inferior to Darkness in terms of magnitude, but Darkness didn't do it himself, but modified memory from a distance. These things couldn't resist at all.

"So there is only one possibility, that is, it is not targeting you alone, but modifying the memory of 【Humanity】."

"As long as you are still 【Human】, you will be affected to some extent, no matter how strong you are, it's useless."

So that's it...

That's difficult.

Tenjou Hikari rubbed his brow.

It seems he can only let Flame Swordsman, Crystal, and the others remind himself from time to time.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw Tierra with a smile on her face, her hands spread out on the side, like a god spreading wisdom.

Does this mean there is a way, and I should open my mouth to ask her?

Tenjou Hikari was very surprised.

There is a way for this too!?

Honestly, Tenjou Hikari didn't even think of it.

He couldn't help but praise: "Tierra, do you have a way? Is it so amazing—"

Tierra laughed ha-ha, and then said: "Of course. I am the God of Creation, the God of Reincarnation—as a god, it is not difficult to give you this corresponding, true 【Divine Favor】."

She examined Tenjou Hikari: "It's very simple, just make you 【no longer human】."

?

Tierra touched her chin, tilted her head, and thought: "Actually, I had some guesses before. Tenjou Hikari, as a human, doesn't seem to be that pure. Some time ago, you suddenly attacked the person who disguised as a human to approach you, and you also said it was based on some strange feeling, right?

In short, it seems very easy to transform your 【Nature】. Although it won't make you non-human instantly, it should be very easy to be in a superimposed state of human and spirit for a short time."

Tenjou Hikari opened his mouth slightly after hearing this.

Sure enough, "Tenjou Hikari" and "Hikari" are not just a matter of understanding and address...

He took a deep breath.

Forget it, let's study these things in the future. There are no clues now. If he can't even cross this hurdle of Darkness, don't talk about things behind.

Tenjou Hikari nodded. Then, Tierra beside him snapped her fingers lightly. Just as she said, with Tenjou Hikari's breathing, Tenjou Hikari didn't feel any change, and all the "changes" ended.

Just like Tierra could change her life form at will, letting herself become a spirit, human, machine, undead, this kind of thing was very familiar to her, so it was not difficult to transform people who were willing to accept changes.

And Tenjou Hikari's own impurity also made her transformation of Tenjou Hikari look very easy.

Is it that fast?

Tenjou Hikari touched his hand, felt no difference, and jumped twice casually.

Before, Tierra changed Lapis Lazuli's nature, but it took I don't know how much preparation, and several people helped her to carry out the transformation. And he only needed to add a special state so easily?

In short, Tenjou Hikari was finally slightly relieved.

He also remembered that there were several special locations in the "Apocalypse Records" that Edo probably didn't have time to go to, so he would investigate them specifically later.

Returning to Duel Academy, the dullness and pressure on him in the air seemed to no longer exist, until Tenjou Hikari opened the door and looked at the students outside the classroom who had headaches, he clearly realized that this should not have changed.

It was really easy to get resistance.

Then...

He looked at the world outside the window, and the dim light shone in.

He silently took out a card from the deck, a broken card. Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer.

This card was born when he dueled Saiou controlled by the "Light of Destruction." Tenjou Hikari also thought of many ways to make it fully born after that, but for some reason, there was no change.

Now, on the card, the fire was rekindled, and the undead bird seemed to start to recover.

Destiny—

It has always been favoring that person.

Sure enough, it wasn't that his alchemy was wrong, but the moment of 【Destiny】 hadn't arrived yet.

The two biggest duels Edo faced in the original work were also the biggest 【Destiny Moments】 for him... Saiou Takuma and Amon Garam. These two duels were unavoidable destiny, and also the destiny he had to cross himself.

The hero of destiny finally needs to complete the mission of destiny.

Only by completing his own destiny can the undead bird truly burn forever.

As time passed, dusk was approaching. Tenjou Hikari put away the increasingly hot card and took out other cards.

The pass to the 【Forgotten World】 back then, and now the 【Dimension of Forgetting】, which belonged exclusively to Tenjou Hikari and could be visited at will—

After a storm, Tenjou Hikari landed lightly and stood before a huge skull gate.

Unlike the darkness and oppression when he came last time, this dimension had become much sunnier now. The darkness and resentment had almost dissipated. Tenjou Hikari even saw many road decorations, torches, and the like outside the gate.

He saw the chair he put here before, laughed twice, then sat down calmly as he did last time, and waited for people to arrive.

Before long, a man and a woman and a handsome young man appeared again.

This time, there was no surprise or vigilance on the faces of the three, replaced by calmness.

They saw Tenjou Hikari on the side.

The gate opened slowly, and the Lion Sorcerer and a large number of spirits wearing skulls floated behind the gate.

They welcomed Tenjou Hikari's arrival, and many spirits were excitedly calling "Hikari, it's Hikari," but the atmosphere made these spirits gradually cool down.

The Lion Sorcerer looked at Eko beside Amon.

Destiny guided the three people at that time here again.

Only unlike last time, this time, everyone present had guessed other people's thoughts.

Amon wanted to create an equal, beautiful world, while Edo wanted to protect everyone.

"Amon, are you trying to sacrifice your lover to gain power!" Edo blocked in front of Amon.

Amon was expressionless and pushed his glasses calmly: "I don't need to tell you."

"Sacrificing a lover for power, what is the meaning of such power!" Edo said another sentence.

Eko didn't have the look of a capable girl like before, but instead looked quite relieved and happy.

In the past month, as long as the dimension here opened, she would come to this dimension and wait for Amon's appearance. Now, Amon finally came to this dimension again, which meant that Amon really decided— 【

He was going to become a "King," a truly benevolent "King"!

"... Sigh, humans," the Beast King Barbaros sighed twice, looking at Aster, "Since these two humans have made up their minds, then forget it. Let all of this be left to me, let me..."

"No—" Aster shook his head, "I cannot watch people fall before my eyes, even if they are total strangers."

"Well said, Aster Phoenix." Amon, however, had a calm, even cold expression, "But in our academy, people fall every day!"

"If one falls from a malicious attack, then one should fight back. I absolutely cannot accept sacrificing humans to gain power to fight back!" Aster continued.

"Yes, so, I am going to fight back. I have had enough of just watching people fall by my side and then never waking up."

The Beast King Barbaros wanted to interrupt the two again, but beside him, Tiancheng Guang had already started shaking his head at him: "My lord, just let the two of them have their final argument. This is better for both of them."

Echo spoke up at this moment: "It's okay, Aster Phoenix, I am very grateful to you, but—"

"This has nothing to do with you, Echo!" Aster didn't listen to the rest of what Echo said at all.

Although Aster had a very good impression of Echo when he first saw her.

However, at this very moment, right now, the one standing before Amon at this time is the... "Phoenix Guy" Aster, who has made up his mind and decided to protect 【everyone】!

He raised his left hand and unfolded his Duel Disk. Amon's face was as calm as water, and he likewise placed his deck into the Duel Disk.

Everything no longer needed to be explained.

"Duel!" x2.

Amon Garam, LP: 4000.

Aster Phoenix, LP: 4000.

"My turn, draw." Amon glanced at his hand.

Two Cloudians, one Left Arm of the Forbidden One, one Left Leg of the Forbidden One, one Card Destruction...

"I summon in Defense Position, Air Circulation Machine."

A mechanical monster that looked like a mechanical Wind Djinn appeared on the field.

Air Circulation Machine, Level 3, Wind Attribute, Aqua-Type, DEF 600.

"When this card is summoned, I can activate its effect." Amon drew two cards, "Return two cards from my hand to the deck and shuffle. After that, I draw two cards from my deck."

He put the two Cloudians in his hand back into the deck. The deck automatically shuffled in the Duel Disk, and subsequently, the top two cards of the deck popped out automatically.

Right Arm of the Forbidden One, Right Leg of the Forbidden One!

He calmly placed the cards into his hand. Behind him, the spirits who saw this scene gasped.

How is this guy so terrifying!?

Who could beat you in a duel like this!?

Amon looked at the cards in his hand, then looked at the top of his deck.

If nothing unexpected happens, the next card should be... Exodia the Forbidden One!

As long as all 5 different parts of Exodia are gathered, then that person will achieve victory.

As long as one possesses such cards, no matter who the enemy in the world is, no matter what kind of existence it is, facing these 5 cards, they will only lose the duel.

Using this method, using this power, even the most evil existence cannot resist it, and then, the students of Duel Academy can be protected.

"End turn."

"My turn, draw—"

The moment Aster drew his card, he could feel a terrifying monster full of resentment watching him from the shadows.

As long as he has no way to change the coming destiny in this turn, then he will face defeat, or even... face death!
