Chapter 70: The Peerless Alchemist! (Bonus Chapter—Request Monthly Tickets!)

"Then, as agreed, these gems are yours." The Golden Heresy God pointed to the gems beside them.

"Split them down the middle—I don't understand these things. Let's just divide them evenly, one half each." Hikari said to Judai.

Judai didn't overthink it—he was a man who never lacked money—and immediately agreed to Hikari's proposal.

"Selling these items will probably require some trouble with Aunt Mei." Hikari scratched the back of his head.

First, sell a little, then buy one card each of this world's Future Fusion and Scrap Fusion.

He had long coveted those two cards from Kaisa Ryo.

After the two Spirits' duel ended, they did not dissipate or leave—they had come with purpose. The Golden Captain needed no explanation; he walked over to Judai's side, gazing at the grown-up Yūsei Judai, sighing and nodding repeatedly, then pointed his right hand to a corner and said, "Go sit there."

The Winged One obediently ran over and squatted down—not like a hero, but more like a thug.

"This guy, without discipline, is getting worse and worse." The Golden Captain shook his head. Judai chuckled awkwardly beside him.

"Judai, it's been a long time. You're far more outstanding and courageous than I imagined. You showed no fear facing Dark Duels, yet didn't recklessly push yourself—instead, you left the hope of victory to your partner. I'm proud of you!" The Golden Captain spoke with genuine pride.

As the "captain" of these heroes, he was deeply devoted to teamwork and cooperation. He had once protected Judai like a parent, but unfortunately, due to "that incident," he and the others were sent to another dimension.

"Haha, to be honest, it's only been recently." Judai laughed in reply. "I owe it all to Hikari. This past half-year, he's taught me so much!"

Hikari?

That alchemist named Xikalige?

The Golden Captain looked at Hikari.

Before arriving, he had already heard of Hikari from the Golden Lord. He thought for a moment, then transformed into a stack of cards that landed in Judai's hands.

Elemental Hero Golden Captain, Evil Hero Dark Star Gold Demon, Elemental Hero Flash Knight, and… Evil Hero Dark Earth Demon.

"Judai, entrust the power of Dark Earth Demon to him. I feel a familiar sense of dread around him—he should be able to master this power. This card is my thanks for his support of you." The Golden Captain's voice echoed in his ear. "You've worked hard all this time. From now on, I'll always be by your side!"

"Ha! Thanks, Captain!"

Compared to this side, Hikari was far more curious about why they had come to this world and what mission they carried.

After learning more, Hikari finally understood.

They were Spirits residing in the "Golden Kingdom."

It was a dimension ruled by a "Lich."

The Golden Lord, the Lich of the Golden Kingdom.

Many years ago, the Golden Lord underwent some event that drove him into a frenzy, losing control of his body and mindlessly invading other Spirit dimensions, resulting in severe backlash.

At that moment, a once-in-a-lifetime, peerless alchemist appeared before him, healed him, cured him, and even—elevated him.

He restored the Golden Lord's missing essence, transforming him into "the most Golden of Golden Lords."

Afterward, the Golden Lord became close friends with that peerless alchemist and promised that if he ever needed help, he could seek him out.

Since then, the Golden Lord ceased invading other dimensions, quietly gathering strength, quietly assembling Spirits, building his forces—as if preparing for some grand undertaking.

This time, they had come to this world under the guidance of that peerless alchemist.

"Wait a minute." Hikari raised his hand, interrupting him. "You mean that 【Peerless Alchemist】 didn't use a portal—but built a dimensional passage to bring you here?"

"Yes."

"And not only that—this shattered dimension, resembling a skyscraper metropolis we're in now, was also created by that peerless alchemist?"

"Exactly."

"That peerless alchemist could even repair the missing components of a Golden Lord Spirit??"

"I've repeated this several times already—the rare alchemist traveled across countless dimensions, personally crafting the Philosopher's Stone. He is the strongest alchemist across all dimensions and parallel worlds!" The Golden Heresy God explained patiently. "It's said he once journeyed through countless dimensions, interacting with countless Spirits. Even among Spirits, he is a legendary figure!"

Holy hell.

Hikari blinked in astonishment.

That Professor Dadesi teacher?

No—

He shook his head violently, trying to snap himself back to reality.

Unlike Judai, Hikari had long known that in the original story, Professor Dadesi was the "Head of the Seven Stars." In fact, to some extent, the other so-called "Seven Stars" were just tag-alongs—Professor Dadesi alone was enough.

In the original story, after the other Seven Star keyholders had won, when only Professor Dadesi remained, he single-handedly defeated every Duelist except Judai, then waited alone in his lab for Judai to arrive, watching him closely to see how far he had grown.

Unlike the others who were just filling slots, he was unquestionably the "strongest Duelist."

Frankly, even among this world's "Seven Stars," the original version of him was still the strongest.

Forget the dual Dueling Heroes, the interdimensional vampire, or the early-arriving Darkness clone—none of them stood a chance against Professor Dadesi.

After all, the original version of him was the alchemist who could forge the Philosopher's Stone.

Now, hearing the Golden Heresy God's words, he realized a new question.

In the original story, Professor Dadesi traveled the world seeking the secrets of alchemy.

Then in this world…

"All dimensions" might be impossible—but before his life ended, traveling through countless other dimensions, how far could this alchemist have gone?

A rare peerless alchemist?

The legendary strongest alchemist?

"Haha, anyway, your duels were extremely satisfying—perfectly in sync, seamless teamwork, even better than my partnership with that brooding guy. For an alchemist, this is already an outstanding level of harmony!"

"Let me join you—"

"Really?!" Suddenly, Wan Rong the Alchemist leapt out, pressing close beside it, staring intensely at its golden eyes. "Really? Really? Really?"

"Master, can I touch it?" he said—but already pulled out a hammer, ready to chip off a piece of the Golden Heresy God.

"WTF! Where'd this lunatic come from?! Don't hit me!"

"Uh, you'd better ask it," Hikari said to Wan Rong.

Watching the two Spirits bicker, then receiving a new Fusion Monster from Judai, Hikari marveled at the richness of his gains, gradually returning from his shock, slapped his cheeks, and smiled.

Haha!

I got it wrong!

This is amazing news!!

Professor Dadesi is even stronger than in the original story—and if I learn alchemy from him, that's even better!
