Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 637 This can't possibly be Amagi Hikaru, right? (8K, please vote for me!)

Hikaru Amagi walked onto the stage and greeted his opponent briefly. Seeing that Hikaru was wearing a mask, his opponent simply sighed and didn't seem to care.

In just a few days, the tester had seen a large number of bizarrely dressed duelists, so he wasn't too bothered when he saw that Hikaru Amagi was just wearing a strange mask.

Although today is the official registration day, there have actually been many preliminary rounds over the past six months. Only duelists who pass the preliminary rounds can form teams to register for the subsequent WRGP Duel Tournament. So, in this process, he has witnessed just how bizarre the duelist ecosystem is.

Of course, he himself wasn't much better.

Previously, Team 5DS had already taken turns attacking first and then second, so in this duel, Hikaru Amagi will attack first.

"Duel!" x2!

"Wright", LP: 4000.
Duel Tester, LP: 4000.
"My turn."

Hikaru Amagi held the card and glanced around briefly.

Several people nearby noticed him.

The first to notice him were the "Nordic Trio," who had just arrived at the scene. The three of them became interested when they saw Hikaru Amagi go on stage to duel.

"Is that guy called Wright?" "Huh, I don't see Jack?" "Hmph, that guy probably thinks this kind of duel is too low-level and is too lazy to come. Hmph, arrogant guy."

Although the three may have different focuses, they all watched the duel intently.

Their opponent was a member of the "Jack Atlas" team, and also a "Dark Signer" and a Chosen One. No matter how you look at it, he was their future opponent, so they definitely couldn't let this opportunity slip by.

"Hmm?" After a brief chat with his companions, Harald, the captain of the Ragnarok team, suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Hikaru Amagi—

To be precise, it was his [eyes].

"That guy didn't check his hand card!?" In the stands, many sharp-eyed duelists also noticed this detail.

Although he was wearing a mask, you could still see his eyes moving, and because of this, everyone could see where his gaze was directed.

"Not looking at their hand cards is so disrespectful to their opponents!" Several people in the Pendulum Dimension's sightseeing group couldn't help but question.

They are "outstanding students" from the three major dueling schools under Lion Corporation, respectively mastering the Gem Knight, X Swordsman, and Star Saint decks, and are also among the "tourist team members" of this Pendulum Dimension.

Behind them sat Yuya Sakaki, Yuzu Hiiragi, Noboru Kakunosaka, and others. Some of them were duelists, while others were simply brought along by Reiji Akaba.

After a few months, Yuya Sakaki seemed more confident than before, and that's why he became curious when he saw "Light" not even looking at his hand cards.

Regardless of respect, how can a duel be fought like this?
Further outside the viewing hall, in the "reception room," Akama Reiji gently pushed up his glasses and remained silent.

this person……

"Set two cards to the face down from your hand, set one monster to the face down, and end your turn." Hikaru Amagi didn't even look at his hand before throwing out the cards.

This move surprised many people.

Aren't you afraid of playing the wrong card?
Or is it that you already know what kind of cards they are the moment you draw them?
If that's the case, then it's probably quite impressive.

"Such an ordinary round?" The tester found Amagi Hikaru's round incredibly boring.

This is KING's team, and the start was so boring?

If I were using my own deck, I could probably win easily.

"Pick the card."

"I activate the Spell Card, Foolish Burial. This card can send 1 monster from the Deck to the Graveyard. I send the Level 4 Dimensional Fortress Weapon from the Deck to the Graveyard."

"Normal Summon, Tuner Monster, Level 3 Black Bomb Ball."

When this monster is successfully summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Level 4 DARK Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard, face-up, with its Defense stat. The Effect Monster Special Summoned by this effect is negated.

Awaken, dimensional fortress weapons.

"Adjust monsters and Synchro Materials!"

"Is it coming? A Synchro Summon from the Synchro Dimension?" The guy in the Pendulum team who was using the X-Swordsman's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

"Use a level 3 black bomb ball and a level 4 dimensional fortress weapon to adjust the star level."

"Lightning Warrior!"

Shila-

With a flash of lightning, a blond swordsman appeared on the field, extending his hand.

Lightning Warrior, Level 7, Light Attribute, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2400.
"Battle! Lightning Warrior attacks the monsters!"

Shila-

The Lightning Swordsman swung his longsword, slashing at the monster covering the Sky City Light Field.

"My face-down monster is Level 1 Hope Worm. If this card is flipped over by an attack from your opponent, you draw 1 card from your Deck."

Hikaru Amagi drew a card from his deck without even looking at it and placed it on his left.

It's sizzling!

bang——

The Hope Worm was instantly shattered.

"When Lightning Soldier destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard, it inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the number of cards in the opponent's hand x 300. If you draw an extra card, you will suffer an extra 300 points of damage."

"When a Hope Worm is destroyed in battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can choose one card to send to the Graveyard."

Amagi Hikaru held up his cards, his right hand remained still, but a card in his left hand floated up automatically and flew into the graveyard.

Wright, LP: 4000 → 3400.
"Although it didn't deal any combat damage, it did deal 600 damage through its effect. If it's just for testers, that seems pretty good." X-Swordsman was a little disappointed not to see a large number of Synchro Monsters being created, but he became interested again when he saw the Lightning Warrior dealing effect damage.

If you have 5 cards in your hand, that's 1500 health points, which is quite a lot. As a damage supplement, it should be pretty good.

In contrast.

"Did they just randomly pick someone to participate in the 5DS team? They seem really weak."

Just like he said.

Such a simple test duel resulted in the loss of life right from the start, which seemed completely meaningless.

If the "best team of duelists" in the Synchro Dimension is this good, then they can be quite confident.

"Cover a card and end the turn."

"My turn."

Hikaru Amagi picked up a card from his deck, and then, as if sensing something, looked down at the card.

"Oh, here's the card you need."

He was talking to himself.

Of course--

Hikaru Amagi certainly wouldn't be talking to himself. However, when he went up on stage, Tiera suddenly became interested and wanted to participate in the duel as a duelist. On the one hand, this way Hikaru Amagi wouldn't have to reveal himself too early.

Although he himself did not mind being exposed, he would rather not expose himself too early if possible. After all, diplomatic activities were not something that a pure duelist like him could understand. It would be best to let the Kaiba Corporation communicate properly before exposing himself.

Therefore, upon hearing that Tierra was interested in participating in the preliminary rounds, he directly "gave up" control of his deck and duel disk.

Tierra was also bored, so this was a good opportunity to try participating in the preliminaries of such a large-scale duel, to see how she fared compared to human duelists, and whether she was qualified to participate in such a large-scale competition.

"Open the overlay card."

With that in mind, she directed Amagi Hikaru to begin operating the system.

"The trap casing is frozen."

After Amagi Hikaru finished speaking, Akaba Reiji, who was watching the battle, suddenly sensed a violent emotional fluctuation from the [God] who had been hidden in his "vision".

Could it be that……

Meanwhile, the duel continued.

Hikaru Amagi smiled and began to explain: "The Frozen Shell activates to become a Machine-Type, EARTH, Level 4, ATK 1800, DEF 1000 Effect Monster for Special Summoning, and it is not used as a Trap Card."

This effect prevents [Shell] Spell/Trap Cards on your field from being destroyed by card effects during the turn this card is Special Summoned.

"Eh?"

"chassis?"

"What deck is that?"

Many people became curious.

But they all knew very well that this mysterious duelist was finally about to begin his duel.

"When this card, Special Summoned by Freezing Shell, is Tributed as 3 [Hidden Shell] monsters, it can be Tributed."

3!?

"Wait, how come a monster needs three sacrifices?"

Many people had questions when they heard this number.

The Nordic trio quickly walked to the fence and looked at the field in surprise.

[3]...

This is the number of God!

"I will sacrifice the frozen shells on the field to liberate them—"

"Take a look and witness the power that symbolizes the cycle of life!"

"A powerful force hidden within the casing."

"Materialism, activate!"

The frozen, massive core began to burn, and the enormous gem flew into the air. Then, countless metallic materials were projected from all directions, combining together to form a huge mechanical creation that was half black and half white.

"Superior summons, Level 10, Hidden Shell Killer Materialism!"

Hidden Shell Killer Materialism, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Mechanical Race, Attack Power 3000.
"Attack power of three thousand!?"

"Wow, that's some serious attack power!"

"It's already comparable to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Each of the duelists watching the duel let out a different exclamation.

Meanwhile...

Blitzkrieg, ATK: 2400 → 1900.
"What?" The tester was startled.

"When Materialism is present, Special Summoned monsters have their ATK and DEF reduced by 500 points."

That is not bad.

A reduction of 500 attack power is not a serious problem.

On the other side, Akaba Reiji also heard a voice.

That person is Hikaru Amagi.

Materialism is the very creation and power of Tiera.

Akama Reiji nodded to indicate that he understood, but then more doubts arose in his heart.

Why would Hikaru Amagi, a person who has merged with dimensions, team up with someone from the same dimension? And... they're the "Champion Team"?
“Activate the effect of Materialism.” Hikaru Amagi casually said, “Once per turn, during your Main Phase. Your opponent must send 1 monster from their hand or field to the Graveyard.”

"what?"

"What a powerful effect!"

It actually affects duelists!
The tester was a little annoyed. He looked at the field and his hand, thinking that he absolutely could not send the monsters on the field to the graveyard, so he chose a card from his hand and sent it to the graveyard.

It's okay, even though it's been sent to the cemetery, it's still useful.

"The effect of Phantasmal Beast Orion Lion: If this card is sent to the Graveyard, activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Level 3, WIND, Machine-Type Phantasmal Beast Token to your field."

"They're clearly Dark Signers, yet the monster they use is called Materialism?" Among the Nordic trio, Braver noticed something strange.

“It seems this guy has other ideas up his sleeve.” Harald nodded. “5DS team is indeed a special team; we need to be careful.”

"In that case, let's attack—"

Amagi Hikaru raised his hand, and in the sky, at the center of the towering mechanical behemoth, a hatch opened, revealing a massive laser cannon: "Attack the Lightning Warriors."

boom--

A lightning bolt, even more terrifying than the Lightning Warrior's, swept across!

"This is the moment I've been waiting for! I activate my trap card, Mirror Power!"

A giant mirror appeared in front of the Lightning Warrior. The power of the mirror reflected the power of Materialism and bounced it off Materialism. However, the destructive force did not leave a trace on it at all.

"What?" Everyone was taken aback.

"Sorry, but Materialism, which is normally summoned, is unaffected by the effects of Spell and Trap Cards... Attack continues!"

Bang!
Lightning flashed again, and a massive beam of light pierced through the warrior!
Tester, LP: 4000 → 2900.
"No wonder they used three monsters as sacrifices; they certainly have extraordinary resistance..." many viewers exclaimed.

"That ends the round."

The tester wiped away a bead of cold sweat.

We really shouldn't underestimate KING's team!

A monster with 3000 attack power that is unaffected by magic traps is indeed powerful!
"My turn, draw a card... Normal Summon, Level 4, Tuner Monster, Rose the Vengeful Warrior."

"Here we go again, the Adjust Monster!"

"Time to adjust the stars!"

"Use the Level 4 Tuner monster Rose and the Level 3 Mythic Beast Token on the field to adjust the stars."

"Synchron Summon, Level 7, Seven Swords Warriors!"

Previously, he was a blonde warrior; this time, he has become a pure gold swordsman.

I don't know who put together this test deck. The lower-level monsters in the entire deck are all black, but the Synchro Monsters are all gold.

Seven Swords Warrior, Level 7, Earth Attribute, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2300 → 1800.
When Hikaru Amagi saw the monster appear, he casually asked, "Do you want to hide a monster effect or a trap?"

After receiving the answer, Hikaru Amagi simply crossed his arms and waited calmly, ignoring everything else.

"Attack power 2300?" X-Swordsman shook his head. "That swordsman was easily crushed just now, and now you want to summon a monster with even lower attack power?"

"Don't rush, there must be some strange effect," his companion told him to calm down and observe. There were quite a few duelists here who shared his thoughts. As everyone knew, although the testers used a general deck, they were generally very dedicated and wouldn't give up just because the opponent summoned a powerful monster. If they chose to Synchro Summon this monster, there must be a reason for it.

This is also a characteristic that differs from the Fusion Dimension. In the Fusion Dimension, the result of most monster fusions is almost certain, but in the Synchro Dimension, as long as the levels are the same, monsters that can be Synchro Summoned at will be suitable for different environments and situations.

"Equip the magic card, Divine Sword - Phoenix Sword!"

"Equip it to the Seven Swordsmen."

A sword engulfed in flames fell from the sky and landed in the hands of the Seven Swordsmen.

"The Seven Swords Warriors' effect is once per turn: When this card is equipped by an Equip Card, inflict 800 damage to your opponent!"

Wright, LP: 3400 → 2600.
"I see. Since the battle can't be won easily, why not just use effect damage? Like the previous Lightning Warrior—that's a good idea."

"But before that, can they hold out until they lose 4000 health points?"

“Normally, it’s impossible.” As the group from the Pendulum Dimension discussed this, a local casually remarked, “But if it’s the Seven Swords Warriors, then it’s a different story.”

"What do you mean?" Several people looked at him.

That guy, dressed like a clown, seemed to be the head of this dimension's "Security Management Bureau," named Jaeger, and was also their companion during this time.

Although he doesn't seem to be very good at dueling, he knows the test deck very well.

"The Seven Swords Warriors have an effect that allows them to send one Equip Card to the Graveyard once per turn. And whenever their Equip Card is sent to the Graveyard, they can target and destroy 1 face-up monster on their opponent's field!"

"Huh!?" The three pendulum students responded in surprise at the same time.

"Oh—I get it. At that time, the Seven Swords Warriors, who will recover 2300 attack power, can win directly with the Phoenix Sword in the graveyard, right?" Hiiragi Yuzu suddenly realized.

"What do you mean?" Sakaki Yuya asked, puzzled.

"The Divine Sword Phoenix Sword can banish two Warrior-Type monsters from the Graveyard and add them to the hand—Kyujiro's Graveyard contains Rose, which was just sent to the Graveyard, and Lightning Warrior from the previous turn. As long as those two monsters are banished, they can be added to the hand."

"Once they're re-equipped with the Seven Swords Warriors, their attack power will reach 2600 points, enough to secure an immediate victory."

Jaeger said with a confident smile.

This is their excellent tester in the Synchro Dimension; even in such an ordinary test, they can accurately calculate and eliminate targets!

Several people from the Pendulum Dimension suddenly realized something.

Meanwhile, in the Xyz Dimension, which had been relatively quiet, some people were having a discussion.

The team from the Hyperdimension consists of three people.

The leader was a very cold-looking man. He was standing with his arms crossed, looking indifferently at the arena. This man was none other than Kaito Amagi, the "strongest human duelist" and "No. Hunter" of the Hyperdimension.

Beside him, a tall man and a rather aloof woman were his guards and assistants, namely his left and right arms. The purple-haired girl was named Druwa, and the red-haired man was named Ghosh.

There was nothing particularly unusual about the duel; they were simply slightly intrigued by Jaeger's words.

Admittedly, if we follow Jaeger's account, this round could indeed be won, but that duelist named Wright still has a face-down card that he hasn't used yet.

How can you be so careless as to assume you're guaranteed to "win" when you don't know your opponent's overwrite cards?
"You agree, right, Kaito!" Ghosh laughed heartily.

Kaito remained expressionless.

At this moment, he had absolutely no interest in this kind of test-based duel.

Now, his mind is filled with other things.

Where did his younger brother Haruto go? Where did Marufuji Ryo go? Where did Yuto and Hayato go? Where did Yuma go? Why are these people running around in such chaos, even crossing dimensions?!

More importantly, before he came, his father told him that there were a large number of lost No. cards in this dimension!
It's not just the No. cards that Yang Dou has, there are many more!

In the Synchronization Dimension, the numbered cards are too dangerous because the people here have no idea of ​​the dangers they pose! He only wanted to treat his younger brother, so why are so many terrible things happening?

While I was thinking about these troublesome things, the Seven Swords Warriors' effect had already been activated on the field. Countless golden swords fell from the sky, striking Materialism like a rain of arrows.

only……

Still no effect!

Meanwhile, Wright began to talk about the effects of materialism again.

"Sorry, Normal Summoned Materialism is unaffected by Spell and Trap Cards while on the field, and it is also unaffected by the effects activated by monsters whose original Level or Rank is lower than this card's!"

! ! ?

Suddenly, all three of them focused their attention on the duel taking place on the field.

The left and right arms, who had just been uninterested, suddenly all showed expressions of surprise.

"Unaffected by...class!?"

"So this dimension has cards like these?"

In most cases.

Level monsters have effects that specifically target "level" and will not affect Xyz Monsters because Xyz Monsters do not have "level". Hence, there is a classic class joke: "What, if it doesn't have a level, isn't it level 0?"

But... that's not the case. The class of a class monster is a special algorithm independent of its rank, and all cards related to ranks cannot affect it.

but now!

This guy named Wright actually pulled out a monster effect that can target both level and class at the same time!

This is actually quite exaggerated—of course, it's not the effect itself that's exaggerated, because an even more powerful effect would be "unaffected by the effects of other monsters." The truly exaggerated point is that this means that this "duelist" not only understands things from his own dimension, but also has some knowledge of the power of other dimensions!

This is an incredibly impressive individual ability.

"Lord Kaito, it seems your trip won't be too boring this time." A mechanical voice sounded from the side.

Kaito Amagi nodded slightly, showing some interest as well.

Being able to duel with better duelists naturally helps one improve.

"Ignoring magic and traps, and monsters inferior to himself. That Wright is indeed extraordinary." Harald was somewhat interested.

"As long as my attack power is higher than itss, that's fine." Dragan didn't care. His [Extreme God] was just right to clash with this monster, and the Extreme God had the ability to automatically revive after the turn it was destroyed, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

but……

If it were any other duelist, just seeing this monster would probably make them break out in a cold sweat, right?
Just as he expected, the tester was completely bewildered in the duel arena.

He stiffly retrieved the divine Phoenix Sword and ended his turn.

He knew he wouldn't last much longer.

Directly opposite the Xyz Dimension seat, across the entire arena, in the Fusion Dimension seat, Jaden peeked out. Beside him, a somewhat nervous Sho Marufuji remarked, "As expected of a top duelist from Synchro Dimension, what a powerful monster... It looks like it will be difficult to handle."

With an attack power of 3000, it has a built-in attack power reduction ability, is unaffected by magic and traps, and is immune to most monster effects... If it were him, he would probably have a headache for a while.

Fortunately, this monster seems to be able to be destroyed by battle—but that Light can also be helped by trap cards.

"That was a great play, Hikaru." On the other side, Jaden, who was peeking out, couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, it should be Miss Tierra."

"What?" Several onlookers were stunned.

Several classmates who thought they knew Hikaru Amagi quite well started to refute her at the same time, and even Serena was somewhat skeptical.

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Although it seemed similar at first, it's completely different now, isn't it?

Even Wan Zhangmu had some doubts.

At first, he also thought this person might be Amagi Hikaru, but after the duel, it doesn't seem like him at all.

Only Judai laughed twice.

Others believed that Hikaru would definitely use Fusion, and that Hikaru would never go against his beliefs and would never use anything other than Fusion.

They're right.

However, this does not mean that Hikaru Amagi's body cannot engage in duels in this way.

Others haven't experienced it, so they don't know or understand, but he understands it all too well.

Just like how the Overlord can control his body to duel with a deck that is completely different from his own.

Ah Guang can do something similar.

The duelist is not "Amagi Hikaru", but Tiera.

and--

Regardless of how he appeared on the outside, he instinctively believed that this was Amagi Hikaru, so even if it didn't seem logically similar, he wouldn't doubt his judgment.

He knew that Ah Guang would not leave his friend alone in the academy to wait for news, and sure enough, he came up with a solution himself!
But how did he become so close to Yusei and the others, and even team up with them?! He was a little envious and wanted to join in the fun, but unfortunately, the teams for Fusion had already been decided, so he couldn't just sign up for no reason. Besides, he also had to help find Misawa. If it weren't for the fact that it was "KING's" team that was signing up today, he wouldn't have been interested in watching the competition here, and he wouldn't have been able to see Hikaru on stage.

Oh, what a pity.

Beside him, the illusory Hubert pursed his lips, looking rather unhappy.

This otherworldly god is living too comfortably.

The duelists trust her, are free to roam as they please, enjoy the resources provided by the duelists, and all the duelists' Pokémon obey her. She can even actively participate in the duelists' duels...

I'm speechless, I'm so envious.

"Pick the card."

Amagi Hikaru draws the card, then waits for Tiera to make her move.

“Use this,” Tierra muttered. “If you use this, you’ll probably be even harder to recognize.”

Tiera wasn't simply looking to have fun.

She knew very well that Hikaru Amagi could never change his own will, because if he did, he wouldn't be the Hikaru Amagi she knew.

Hikaru Amagi was able to resist the temptation of even the Outer God Asathos, so she wouldn't hide her identity even if such a duel would expose her.

However, if possible, he would definitely try to stay as late as possible, since he has friends, teachers, and work to attend to. No matter what, Hikaru Amagi would definitely want to stay late.

So she, a "duelist" who also wanted to have a go, just happened to have the opportunity.

But simply relying on superiors is not enough.

To make the duel seem more "real".

"Activate the effect of Materialism once per turn. Your opponent must send 1 card from their hand or 1 monster on the field to the Graveyard."

The tester reluctantly sent the last monster in his hand to the graveyard.

We definitely can't send this Seven Swords Warrior on the field, because if we send him to the graveyard, then Materialism will attack him directly.

If we can survive this round, we still have a chance to win.

"Normal Summon, Level 2, Tuner Monster, True Next Generation Coordinator. This effect can be activated when this card is Normal or Special Summoned. Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Next Generation Monster from your hand."

"I Special Summon, Level 3, Next-Generation Miner."

!

Many people were taken aback.

It's not just about materialism!

This duelist can even manipulate stars!

wrong--

Also.

This guy is a duelist from the Synchro Dimension after all; it would be strange if he didn't know how to use Starstraight!

Those who were watching the duel gradually revealed solemn expressions.

A single high-level monster is indeed powerful, but not insurmountable. However, if it also has other Synchro Monsters, then it becomes very difficult to deal with.

At that moment, outside the 5DS team's rest room, a rapid motorcycle sound rang out, and Jack Atlas hurriedly got off his motorcycle.

There's still half an hour left before the deadline; he has enough time.

"Yusei, Kro, I'm back. I'm going to take the stage now—huh?"

Hey, someone's already logged in?

Who is that person?

Not Qiu, or Long Yalongke? Not even Yugo?

"It's Tiancheng."

"Hahaha, Crow, are you holding a grudge against me for being late? You're just kidding, how could that be Amagi Hikaru?" He laughed loudly.

Kro and Yusei exchanged a glance and smiled.

what--

Even Jack didn't believe that Tiancheng's disguise was indeed very good.

On the stage, the duel continued.

The robot transformed into a green streak of light, its body shimmering in the air, while another machine began to disintegrate, assembling a brand new monster.

“Although I didn’t create it myself, it looks pretty good,” Tiera whispered.

"Synchron Summon, Level 5, Allied Justice Cataclysm!"

Allied Forces Cataclysm, Level 5, Dark Attribute, Machine Race, Attack Power 2200 → 1700.
"Activated at the start of the Damage Step when the Calamity Bug battles a monster other than the DARK attribute. That monster is destroyed instantly."

A blue glow emanated from the calamity insect as it approached the Seven Swords Warriors and destroyed them in an instant.

Then, materialism began its activities...

"Materialism attacks directly!"

boom--

The tester was so frightened that he put his hands in front of him to block the beam of light.

But before the light faded, the duel was already over.

He was relieved.

For a brief moment, he felt like he was going to die, and he didn't know if it was just his imagination.

At the same time, the referee shouted.

"Team 5DS, undefeated in test duels, passed perfectly!"
