Chapter 621 The Birth of the Pendulum (4K, please vote with monthly tickets~)

After the Dark Night incident, the school and even the world fell into peace.

Hikaru Amagi thus had time to do what he wanted to do.

In addition to his studies, he also wanted to try a few other things besides conducting a new round of alchemical experiments.

First, there's the "Gladiator Beast" dimension, which I've wanted to visit many times, but each time I've been unable to due to various unforeseen problems.

Secondly...

The Selfless Painting School!

The dimension most likely to find the "red light" message! It's also the dimension [directly penetrated by the red light]!

Now, Hikari Amagi has not only raised her spirit power to level 9, but has also successfully created her own "Philosopher's Stone," becoming a genuine top-tier alchemist. She is also a human who was once truly exposed to the "red light," so naturally she wants to give it a try.

However, he's not the kind of person who would do something reckless, so he definitely needs to take precautions beforehand.

First, they dropped a test dummy in to check for damage. Hikaru Amagi dropped the dummy in and retrieved it after one minute, only to find that the dummy was completely undamaged.

Clearly, in that world, there were no instantaneous physical attacks.

Then, Hikaru Amagi conducted several more experiments, such as placing a dummy in that dimension for three or four days and placing video recordings, but the final result was always... nothing unusual.

It's as if the world on the other side is just an ordinary art gallery.

However, the empty gallery, the lifeless gallery, the gallery where even elves did not exist, the gallery that seemed to have a life of its own and looked different at different times, all reminded Amagi Hikaru and Tiera that that dimension would never be peaceful!

This made Amagi Hikaru take joining the "Selfless Painting School" even more seriously.

His "duelist instincts" were reminding him not to court death!

Despite having already defeated Darkness and possessing strong mental resistance, he still had this strange thought—that dimension was too dangerous for life!
Realizing this, Amagi Hikaru wasn't in a hurry.

Although I'm already very strong, and I can afford to do a little bit of silly things, I can't commit suicide.

never mind--

Hikaru Amagi readily admitted defeat.

So he gave up the idea of ​​entering the Selfless Painting School in a short time and went to the Magic Village first to find Magic Science and ask it if it had any new inventions or collections recently.

Afterwards, Hikaru Amagi went to the Magic Academy again, where he used his alchemy knowledge to exchange for several books he had wanted before.

When Amagi Hikaru's "Pokémon Adaptability" reached 9 stars, he could travel freely between dimensions as long as he didn't engage in a duel. Therefore, he no longer needed to worry about where to go each month as he used to.

Hikari Amagi can visit the Magic Village and interact with the Magicians, learn new knowledge at the Magic Academy, and even go with Tiera to the Magic Toy Sanctuary or the Allied Hangar to visit them or obtain new cards.

Even the "Magician's Sanctuary" can be visited at will without worrying about consumption.

Of course, the "energy" that needed to be consumed still had to be paid, but since Amagi had just gained an extra Philosopher's Stone, it was the perfect time to spend lavishly, so it didn't matter. He went to all the friends he could visit, greeted them one by one, and tried to get some cards by chance.

Similarly, Hikaru Amagi finally had some free time to visit dimensions she had never been to before.

And this month, Hikaru Amagi has decided to go to...

The two locations are 【Gladiator's Cage - Circular Arena】 and 【Predatory Planet】.

"Let's go check on the Gladiator Beast first."

Hikaru Amagi summoned the Gladiator Beast One-Eyed, which hadn't appeared in a long time. Its life had actually been pretty good lately. Despite not having appeared in the game, it spent its days at the Great Cosmic Workshop doing nothing but work, eating, and sleeping. It was much more relaxed than before and had even gotten quite fat.

But when it heard that Hikaru Amagi was going to the Beast Fighting Dimension, it immediately volunteered.

Gladiator Beast Dimension is a special dimension.

Its most unique feature is...

It is a dimension that once cooperated with the "Fusion Army"!
of course.

It has not only cooperated with the Fusion Army.

Anyone can obtain Pokémon Cards from them as long as they perform exceptionally well in the arena. This is because the management system of the Gladiator Beast Dimension is not based on standard population growth like other Pokémon Dimensions, but rather…

Slavery!
Superior Pokémon can freely command inferior Pokémon; this is the world of Gladiator Pokémon.

So, upon hearing that he could return to his hometown, One-Eyed Dou was both overjoyed and fearful.

But when I think of—

Wait a minute, I have Hikaru Amagi by my side right now, what am I afraid of?
I feel like even all the leaders combined couldn't beat Amagi Hikaru... in every aspect of ability.

As a result, the sword-wielding beast, who had been feeling uneasy, immediately felt relieved.

Of course, it was relieved, but Amagi Hikaru already knew about the special nature of the Gladiator Beast Dimension from it, and thinking that in case they encountered the Fusion Army again, it would be good to have some precautions, so he called a few more "good partners".

Bring along any phantom demons or earthbound gods you might need.

So, after packing his things, Hikaru Amagi went to the Gladiator Beast Dimension under the dimensional gate of the Great Cosmic Workshop.

And this time...

In a distant dimension, not connected to this world.

This place is called by the locals as...

[Basic] Dimension.

Yugi Muto bought an ice cream and sat in the audience to watch a unique duel.

It is said to be a duel between the world's "King of Duels" and the son of the "Former King of Duels" and the "Entertainment Duelist".

To be honest, Yugi Muto has had a pretty good experience in this world recently.

The atmosphere here is much better than their world. There are not so many scheming forces, nor so many greedy people. All there is is "entertainment duels" that have been developed to their peak.

In this world, duels are a form of pure entertainment, especially in a world where "physical image technology" exists, where duels are performed alongside images, making for a very entertaining spectacle.

This makes the game feel strangely relaxing.

In his world, major corporations have a habit of hiring "representative duelists," and the duelists on the market are more like "the sharp swords of major corporations" than "genuine entertainment."

To be honest, he didn't know whether this kind of development was a good thing or not.

Especially with the advent of interdimensional travel, these duelists have become gold diggers in interdimensional travel, making most of them completely profit-driven individuals.

As for this side...

It looks very plain.

At least during his time living in this world, he felt that the duelists in this world were very simple and unassuming.

Even the duelists in this world, just like those in their own world, have only recently learned of the existence of "Synchro" and "Xyz"—in fact, they only recently learned of the existence of "Fusion"!
This is an exaggeration.

Because in the dimensions of synchro and supersonicity, there is actually a fusion.

But the other way around.

This world can not only merge, but also synchronize and supercharge, things that their dimension cannot accomplish.

However, at least for now, he feels that the duels in this world are still quite primitive.

They are mostly summoned by higher-level summons.

He was eating his ice cream when he suddenly stopped. Huh?
Suddenly, the child on the stage had red eyes and was surrounded by a beautiful light. Then, the card in his hand began to glow and transformed into other cards.

Yugi Muto became interested.

He put down what he was holding and focused intently on the duel.

Then, the duelist named Yuya Sakaki placed two cards on either side of the Duel Disk, and then, colorful light and the power of soul-swaying rippled through the world!
This is!

Suddenly, the game made sense.

It turned out to be the case.

This is not the "basic" dimension!

Even the leader of this dimension didn't realize this!
"I set the P scale using the Star Reading Magician at scale 1 and the Time Reading Magician at scale 8!"

Two enormous pillars of light appeared on the field. Then, beneath them, two magicians slowly floated into the air, and beneath them, two golden numbers appeared—

1 and 8!

A giant pendulum appeared out of thin air in the sky and swayed back and forth.

"This way, you can summon monsters from level 2 to level 7 at the same time!"

On the stage, Sakaki Yuya shouted instinctively.

"Swing, pendulum of the soul!"

The pendulum began to sway from side to side.

In Yugi Muto's eyes, the whole world seemed to have started to "swing".

"I see, that's how it is!" He quickly took out his Duel Disk, pressed the button, and watched as the P-zone slowly appeared after the Duel Disk unfolded. He understood everything—from this day forward, the Pendulum Zone would spread outwards from this place to all worlds and all beings! The Pendulum Zone had officially entered the usable stage!
His interest in the world grew stronger.

"Arches of light were drawn in the sky!"

"Pendulum Summon, appear, my slaving monsters!"

Three beams of light fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, summoning three monsters at once!

"Oh!" The game couldn't help but clap its hands.

While everyone else was still stunned and didn't know what was going on, he happily started clapping.

That's amazing! Is that how it's used?

As he continued reading, he learned that when a Pendulum Monster is sent from the field to the Graveyard, it is sent face up to the Extra Deck instead of to the Graveyard. Furthermore, as long as it is within the Pendulum Scale range, it can be Pendulum Summoned directly from the Extra Deck each turn.

So interesting.

Indeed, new things are always interesting.

Although Yuya Sakaki won by relying solely on the characteristics of Pendulum Summoning without employing any strange tactics or applications, the game still felt incredibly enjoyable and fun after the duel ended, to the point that he didn't even care about the sundae effect.

Defeating all other competitors, coming to this dimension as a card designer was definitely the right choice!

He witnessed the birth of the pendulum!
"That is... Pendulum Summoning."

Meanwhile, in the "Lion Company" of this dimension, a boy wearing glasses and a scarf gently pushed up his glasses and stared intently at the scene in front of him.

He is the "leader" of this dimension, the son of King Akama Zero, Akama Zero's son.

Beside him—in the reflection of the machine next to him—a red-haired girl had her eyes closed, not speaking, yet a voice could be heard.

As I said, that human's body contains the key to unlocking the soul's swing. Once he unlocks this key, humans like you, possessing special particles, can use this power like an open-source program.

Her voice was faint and indistinct, almost imperceptible.

[Mortal, you saw it too, didn't you? That duel from another dimension. Do you think you could defeat that human named Hikaru Amagi?]

Reiji Akaba pushed up his glasses again.

Almost all the "high-ranking" beings witnessed the duel with Darkness. Naturally, the strange "god" beside him also had the right to watch, but this god simply watched without offering any opinion.

If it were him now, he would have absolutely no chance of winning that duel.

The gap is too big.

That Amagi Hikaru is more than ten times better than me on the path of "integration".
How could you possibly catch up in a short time by using the Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz techniques learned from other dimensions?
but……

The power of the pendulum is the power hidden within humanity itself in their world!
If we had such power, catching up with or even surpassing humans from other dimensions in a short time would not be a problem!

He was still somewhat hesitant.

Hesitation is not the key to learning and advancing the power of pendulum.

Is that Amagi Hikaru really as this "god" next to him described?
A few months ago, this being suddenly appeared in their world, formed a cooperation with him, and bestowed upon him a large number of cards she called "DT Planetary Power"—including Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz. These cards were quickly promoted in various schools in their world, with remarkable results, and many outstanding students were quickly cultivated.

But what he cared about more was another god she mentioned called "Tiera".

Tiera, hostile to the god of life, the god of machines, the god of demons, and the god of reincarnation.

Once fully resurrected, she will surely restart the ecosystem and create gods whose lives suit her tastes.

And her chosen one was a person named Hikaru Amagi.

During that duel, seeing Tierra's devastating effects, Akama Reiji was also very worried.

After all, it seems that as long as you fuse 10 Tiera materials in the first round, your opponent can surrender.

Moreover, when Tierra appeared, the world-ending special effects, which were in no way inferior to Darkness, were indeed quite frightening.

only--

Hikaru Amagi, that duelist, didn't give off that feeling.

Despite his seemingly insane nature, as a duelist, he could sense the passion and determination within Hikaru Amagi's heart; he certainly didn't seem like someone capable of destroying everything.

Or perhaps the deity beside him, named "Sophia," was the god of destruction, deliberately framing him—but it didn't seem like it either; Tyella truly made him feel very "evil."

He remained silent, calmly pushing up his glasses, countless thoughts racing through his mind, yet he showed no emotion whatsoever.

Regardless of whether Sophia lied to him or not, it cannot change the fact that Sophia significantly enhanced the strength of their world.

Although he didn't trust Sophia, he simply didn't establish a school for the "Ritual School." He had established Synchro, Fusion, and Xyz, but he said there was no opportunity to establish the Ritual School for the time being. It was a precaution—he really had no other choice. Even his own father had betrayed him, so he really couldn't trust a strange god.

However, after a few months, Sofia's help proved to be genuine.

So, after a moment's thought, he said, "You're right. Since... our world now possesses entirely new powers, let's just take the initiative."

As I planned, I'll head to Dimension S to find allies. And incidentally, I can also participate in that grand dueling tournament to provide more energy for your awakening.

The red-haired priestess closed her eyes and did not respond, but her figure gradually disappeared.

Clearly, she approved of the decision.

Akama Reiji looked to his left.

"A pendulum..."

　4K4K, the moment has finally arrived! Congratulations on the birth of the pendulum! (Clap clap clap)
