Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 606 Dark Underworld (4K)

During Fujiwara Yusuke's death, Darkness did not offer him any protection whatsoever.

“Yusuke…” Fubuki’s face showed a trace of sadness, but she did not blame Amagi Hikaru.

There's no reason to hold back.

If it were up to him to find a way to save his friend, then of course there would be no problem, but right now, that option doesn't exist for Amagi Hikaru.

Hikaru Amagi successfully defeated the "rewind" duelist, but he showed no excitement whatsoever.

because……

Before him stood an enemy of humanity!

Darkness!

His true form has finally appeared!

However, his first appearance was devoid of any murderous intent; instead, he simply began to clap softly.

His applause was crisp and clear; the skeletal hands clapping together were not harsh.

Almost everyone was puzzled by his action and looked at each other blankly.

"A spectacular duel. Hikaru Amagi. Every third round brought exciting new developments, and in the end, he successfully dealt with the indestructible field by utilizing the card he obtained from [Hikaru].

Indeed, it was full of wisdom and strategy.

The duelists watching were completely bewildered, never expecting such a scene.

This Darkness seems to actually admire Ah Guang quite a bit?

“Unfortunately, that’s why you have to die,” he lamented.

As he spoke, the sky, the earth, the tall buildings, it seemed as if everything began to sway and crumble.

"Why!" Amon couldn't hold back any longer; he was the one who most wanted to know the reason. "Why do you have to do this! What is it that you want to destroy humanity?"

Manjou also frowned, staring at Darkness.

He also wanted to know why darkness insisted on destroying humanity.

Fubuki, on the other hand, wanted to know why Darkness was watching him and Yusuke, and what qualities they possessed that made Darkness so interested in them.

Darkness turned to look at Amon and said, "Foolish, human."

"It is not that I want to destroy humanity, but that you humans are destroying yourselves."

As he spoke, the skeletal wings behind him began to vibrate, as if countless images appeared before him, displayed to everyone.

"In order to protect their own national interests, they launched wars of aggression against other countries, even at the cost of bombing kindergartens and hospitals."

In order to make more money, they recklessly destroyed the environment, which led to changes in the Earth's environment and endangered human habitats on countless small islands.
Driven by hatred, for history, or for various other reasons, powerful weapons are invented to engage in frantic comparisons.

Haven't you humans destroyed far more humans than I have?

"These are things I never did."

The students' questioning expressions faded.

Only Manjoume was the first to react, saying, "But that's no excuse for invading the human world and indiscriminately killing humans! If you really don't want to destroy humanity, then you can just wait!"

"indeed."

He readily admitted it.

"Even if they don't need me, humanity will gradually head towards self-destruction due to its arrogance and hubris."

"then you……"

"However, in this infinite time, I discovered the uniqueness of humankind."

Before him, countless images began to emerge: during the war of aggression, the invaders burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of atrocities against the natives. Despite the various horrifying and cruel methods, there were still countless brave people who resisted even at the risk of certain death.
In the business world, it is not uncommon for people to make a fortune by revealing just a little bit of a secret. Yet, there are still people who stick to their principles and will never do anything that violates morality, righteousness, or ethics.

Some people persevered through a collapsed snow-capped mountain to deliver a message; others struggled to return to land from the sea, clinging to broken planks, in search of an answer…

There are people of all kinds, those with strong beliefs or noble character, who allow this terrible world to continue its upward spiral.

"The performance of these humans is truly impressive. Even I have to praise them."

Everyone was somewhat bewildered.

"Therefore, I should destroy all that is beautiful."

"What nonsense!" Wan Zhangmu cursed.

"If it's beautiful, why destroy it..." Fubuki also couldn't understand it at all.

"I am darkness, I am death, I am the opposite of everything, I am the law of the world, I am the future of humanity's inevitable destruction, I am—Darkness."

Humans, this is only natural.

No matter how much I admire you or how surprised I am, it cannot change one fact.

That is, only when you are completely destroyed can I live forever; only when I am completely dead will you never be extinct.

This is the way of survival; there's no morality involved!

Everyone was stunned by his blunt honesty.

They didn't expect that Darkness, this being who used intrigue and despicable tricks, would actually be so direct and unpretentious after he finally showed himself.

Survival...

This time, Manjoume had no questions to ask.

If it's a case of wolves eating rabbits, you can refute it by saying that wolves can eat other things. But if it has to be one side only, then there's no point in arguing.

However, Darkness was clearly still interested in continuing the conversation. He raised his right hand in front of him, and images floated in his skull's hand.

"Human beings are full of contradictions and confusion, and sooner or later they will destroy themselves because of their own actions."

"Just as life goes from birth to death, humanity will sooner or later go through the process of birth, prosperity and extinction. Just like the countries that have perished in your history."

"However, this process is uncertain and not fixed."

Those images flashed with countless possibilities.

There are worlds where humans are trapped in a biohazard apocalypse due to war and can only scavenge for a living; there are worlds where humans are captured by alien QUs that look like insects and kept as pets while exploring the stars; and there are worlds where humans are turned into human batteries and human computers by AI due to its advanced technology.

The idea that humans, due to their own chaotic inner world, could cause a perpetual motion machine capable of sensing the mind to go berserk, ultimately destroying the future of the human world, also exists in this dimension.

But compared to all sorts of other strange "endings," this kind of ending where everyone dies completely is actually the rarer one.

In a scene in a corner, a crimson light shines on a planet. The life on that planet begins to frantically pursue power and purity, abandoning their self and will, ultimately leading to their complete destruction, and even the planet itself disappears as a result.

Amagi Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

that is……

"Through my observations, I've found that while humanity repeatedly strays onto foolish paths, there are also those who strive to correct these mistakes time and again. Sometimes they may be unable to correct them, and sometimes they may stubbornly persist down a single, unsustainable path. But it is precisely because of this characteristic of humanity that the future is so uncertain." I see.

If everything proceeds as planned, like Mr. T, then Darkness wouldn't need to consider any future possibilities at all, because if that were the case, everything would be "locked in" and "locked down," inevitably leading to the future Darkness desires.

That's why you hate "unique features" so much, right?

It seemed that he had simply come to explain things to humans like Amagi Hikaru, or perhaps to take back the power he had bestowed upon "Fujiwara Yusuke". After he finished explaining these things, Darkness's figure began to slowly become illusory.

"Wait!" Amon tried to stop him from leaving. "Don't go—"

He knew that beings like Darkness, beings with boundless power who could arbitrarily alter human memories, could "win" by simply hiding in the shadows and slowly waiting for humans to suffer under their power and go mad under pressure.

"No need, Amon, that's enough." On the other side, Amagi Hikaru stopped Amon from rushing up and grabbing Darkness.

it is ready.

Once Darkness appeared, there was no problem, because it meant that Darkness, the "Grim Reaper" who could never be touched by humans, could finally be reached by them.

Next, all that's left is to find Darkness and defeat him.

Darkness watched Amagi Hikaru, its figure gradually becoming transparent, and then completely disappearing from human sight.

However, he only left the human world, but did not leave "Earth". He entered the "inner world" of Earth and continued to watch over Amagi Hikaru and the others.

After Mr. T and Yusuke Fujiwara were also defeated, he realized that it was time for him to take the stage himself.

But before that, he still wanted to see how humanity overcame his "problems" one by one.

Coma, sealing, disappearance of existence—each of these is an absolute challenge for humanity.

If even these "difficult problems" cannot be overcome, how can humanity be worthy of engaging in the final "duel" with him?

He stood quietly in place, watching everything.

With his disappearance and Fujiwara Yusuke's death, there was no one left to stop Tenjouin Fubuki from joining them, and Fubuki was finally able to tell Amagi Hikaru his secrets about using the Darkness power.

That is, the secret of "psychological influence".

Hikaru Amagi quickly discovered that the students' coma was not due to illness, but rather because their consciousness had fallen into the "inner world." Therefore, by using specific methods to awaken their consciousness, they could be brought back to life.

He used alchemy to create some soul-awakening potions. With careful experimentation and Tenjouin Fubuki volunteering to conduct the experiments, he quickly completed the creation and successfully awakened the first unconscious person.

Amagi light...

Darkness observes Amagi Hikaru.

From the very first time he saw Hikaru Amagi, he realized that Hikaru Amagi was a better host than Fubuki Tenjōin or Yusuke Fujiwara.

Because Hikaru Amagi's duels were pure enough and his will was unwavering, he was like a rough gem that, under the influence of various forces, grew into a perfect gem. And the humans around him became dazzling under the light of his gem.

In the world he observed, no human being could withstand his power. In the end, humanity would be completely plunged into a coma and darkness, and apart from a few scattered individuals, no other human being would be able to walk alive.

One John, one Yu Cheng Shidai, and that was it.

However, Hikaru Amagi shattered his expectations, allowing humanity to endure under his power.

Not only that--

He looked up to the east, and outside the reach of the people on the island, a huge ship slowly approached. There were many people on board, and they were all more or less puzzled, not knowing why they had come here.

Only the woman on the bow of the ship, who looked like a man, firmly said, "Just listen to me, Master Amon. I made a promise with him; we must find Duel Academy Island—"

Even though she had forgotten the Duel Academy and lost all her memories of it, this woman named Eko was determined to move towards it because her heart was filled with a fervent, obsessive love for the human "Amon," a love she was willing to sacrifice herself for.

Even in her amnesia, this woman had stored countless tags to remind her to find Amon and fulfill their promise to Amagi Hikaru in the Forgotten World.

When they finally find the "Duel Academy," their seal on the Duel Academy will weaken because humanity will have "noticed" this region.

This is yet another mistake that shouldn't have happened.

In the history he originally saw.

In order to create an ideal world and obtain the strongest power, Amon sacrificed Eko, activating the "Sealed Exodia" obtained from Hubel, thus becoming the "Lone King." Subsequently, he became nourishment for Hubel and died completely.

Without these two humans, the humans on Duel Academy Island lost all means of contacting the outside world.

In the process, the two might even kill Ed Phoenix in a duel, causing a noble person to die with regret.

But now, not only are they alive, they are even trying to save the academy.

All of this was because Hikaru Amagi helped Ed Phoenix, and then Ed Phoenix, in this game of musical chairs, saved someone else, thus giving back to the Duel Academy.

Such examples are commonplace.

If it weren't for Hikaru Amagi, if his light hadn't shone on others, causing everything to take a different turn, then at this point, some would have been plunged into endless darkness, never to awaken again; some would have harbored resentment towards their older brother, Jaden Yuki, because of the battle in the other dimension; and some would have paid the price of their souls in their search for his existence…

But all of that has changed.

Amagi light.

While others were talking about creation and hard work, he had already accomplished what others considered "empty and grandiose" through his actions.

Now, Jaden Yuki has defeated Cobra and approached Hubert, clearly intending to use his own power to settle the score with Hubert—something that would never have happened originally.

With the help of Hikaru Amagi, Jaden Yuki has become a staunch "hero".

Before long, he witnessed Amagi Hikaru break through his limitations once again amidst cheers—

With the help of information provided by ZONE, a human from another dimension, he successfully helped Tiera create a large helmet. With this helmet, one could resist memory alteration, and even a three-year-old child would not be affected by darkness.

The only problem is that this thing is too big.

But this had nothing to do with Tiera.

She patted her chest and said, "No problem, I'll start iterating right away. In just a few days, I'll be able to let you humans install this thing directly onto the Duel Disk!"

at the same time.

On the coast, a huge explosion erupted as a massive ship crashed directly into the seal of darkness. Because it was a force from the "outside world" that affected the memories of those outside, the seal began to loosen!

All the accumulation finally turned into a reward at this moment, flowing into everything in this academy.

Darkness silently watched everything. Countless black mists and cards flew around him. The cards turned into clumps of black mud, which then transformed into a man in black. Immediately afterward, these men in black began to appear frantically, as if copied and pasted, gradually covering the entire plaza of the Underworld Duel Academy.

Then, the entire mountainside, and eventually the whole island, was occupied by identical Mr. Ts.

If an ordinary person were standing here, just seeing this scene would probably make them scream due to trypophobia.

Of course, this has no effect on darkness whatsoever.

He paused for a moment, pondering what he would encounter next.

It seems...

The day when we face off against [Human Hope] is not far off.
