Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 648 I'm Going to Take on Three! (1 words, 1 words a day, please vote for me!!)

Upon realizing the situation, Marufuji Sho and Tenjouin Fubuki immediately huddled together and began to think of a solution.

As members of the "Merged Dimension," whose actions are relatively restricted, although they have successfully completed the first round of diplomacy with the Hyperdimension, the members of the Merged Dimension are still limited. Naturally, these visiting students are even more restricted and have no way to directly approach the members of the "City Hall Team."

But that doesn’t mean they have no solution.

One way is to join the fusion dimension's team and engage in duels.

Because the City Hall team had previously used an excessive number of players, the rules were temporarily adjusted to ensure that teams did not need to worry about participants from other dimensions. Of course, other rule additions were also made.

One of the rules is that teams with fewer than three substitute players can temporarily add substitute players after this period, with a maximum of three.

This is also compensation for many teams that did not prepare in advance and only had three main players.

This strategy, which at first glance appears to be "compensation," is actually a way for teams to make other "malicious" changes on the fly. At first, many people calmly opposed it, but when someone pointed out that substitute players could also get "round D," all the opposition disappeared in the wave of support.

This is why Marufuji Sho and Tenjouin Fubuki were able to find the opportunity to team up with their seniors and participate in this WRGP tournament.

but……

"This isn't really in accordance with the rules," Seahorse said, rubbing his forehead as he listened to the two students' requests.

You say that's your brother, that's your best friend, but is that really your brother and best friend? They're members of the Synchro Dimensional City Hall team, they don't look like them at all, do they?

Moreover, even if more duelists were to be added temporarily, it would obviously be Jaden Yuki or Jun, right?
"Mr. Muma! I promise I won't hold you back!" Marufuji Sho pleaded.

“Brother Muma, I trust Marufuji’s judgment. Since he felt that person was Caesar, then maybe he really is.” Manjoume also chimed in, trying to persuade him.

A few days ago, he wouldn't have believed Marufuji Sho's explanation, but after seeing Yuki Jaden say that "Light" was Amagi Hikaru, and that Light's duels did indeed have an Amagi Hikaru style, he began to have a different opinion.

Perhaps, that Gouchen really is Caesar?

So he wondered if he could ask Seahorse to put in some effort—though it might be disrespectful, he felt that giving up a substitute opportunity was not a problem at all compared to finding someone.

Judai, who was standing to the side, also wanted to cheer for Marufuji Sho, but unfortunately he wasn't familiar with the people there, so he could only offer his encouragement reluctantly.

Seeing that his two favorite "backup candidates" also supported Marufuji Sho and Tenjouin Fubuki, Kaiba Mokuba showed a slight change of heart.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still felt it was inappropriate.

Tenjouin Fubuki's strength is beyond doubt. Although he did not achieve outstanding results in the GX tournament, Kaiba still vividly remembers the scene where he completely dominated Marufuji Ryo.

Can……

What about Marufuji Sho?

They didn't even participate in the finals of the GX tournament.

Kaiba knew that Marufuji Sho was rescuing people with Jaden at the time, and that he had stayed with Jaden because Kodo suspected him. Otherwise, he could have participated in the finals.

But ultimately, he lacked any real performances in major competitions to prove his ability...

"If all else fails, it's not a big deal to let you go up and fight, is it?" Muma and Manjoume said.

If you really want to find an opportunity to shout something on the field, then you can do that, right?

Manjoume hesitated for a moment, then looked at Marufuji Sho, who immediately became hesitant.

It's not impossible to settle for the next best thing...

"Let's duel."

?

At a time when everyone was trying to find a peaceful solution, a voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the sound.

The two duelists from the tomb-guarding clan stared blankly at the students before quickly looking at each other.

its not right--

That voice.

Just then, a young man wearing a hood and with his hands in his pockets stepped out from behind the two men.

Dinosaur Ryuzaki!

The legendary duelist!
He is also one of the key players in this competition!

At this moment, he not only changed into a bright red coat, but also had all sorts of sharp teeth painted on it.

"Ryuzaki-kun?" Kaiba Mokuba was somewhat surprised.

"Ryuzaki-senpai!" The students looked on with surprise and delight.

Ryuzaki the dinosaur walked up to Sho Marufuji, who immediately swallowed hard, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I say let's duel. As students of the Duel Academy, if you want to participate, then let's duel!" Ryuzaki Dinosaur stared directly at Sho Marufuji and said, "Or are you saying you don't have the courage?"

"...Yes! Yes!" Marufuji Sho shouted back.

"Good, not bad, very impressive." Ryuzaki glanced at Manjoume and Judai, who immediately greeted him.

They had met Ryuzaki several times and were relatively familiar with him.

"With Tiancheng not around, don't you two have any more confidence?"

"Eh—" Judai gently scratched his right cheek with his finger.

He could have shamelessly said it, but he felt this was not the right occasion for him to say it. Even if he were to bring it up, it would be more appropriate for Xiang to take the initiative—he also hoped that Xiang would be more proactive.

Manjoume took a deep breath and understood: "Then, Brother Mokuba, please duel with Marufuji! He will definitely not disappoint you!"

If the duel ends well, you should be able to accept it—and then the government employees here won't say anything, right?

indeed.

In internal duels, the recognition of outstanding duelists and their selection to the ring is quite convincing. Even the officials here wouldn't object.

This time, Seahorse didn't hesitate. Moreover, he really wanted to see if he could compete with the students from the Professional Duel Academy.

Marufuji Sho's deck is still the same one he used before, a mix of humanoid robot and fusion decks, while Kaiba Mokuba uses the "Thunder Dragon" deck.

His Thunder Dragon deck is not an ordinary Thunder Dragon deck, but a deck copied by Kaiba Corporation after Hikaru Amagi created "Super Thunder Dragon". It has three of each Thunder Dragon-related card, which overwhelms Hikaru Amagi in terms of quantity. In addition, he has also seen other Thunder Dragons in dimensional travel, so the deck is still quite strong.

As they prepared for their duel, time continued to flow.

The next round of the duel—

Pendulum Dimension Team vs. 5DS Team!
After the initial shock of "We actually ran into Team 5DS!?", the members of Pendulum Dimension gradually calmed down.

Isn't it just Team 5DS? Isn't it just the "champion team" of this dimension? Isn't it just the team that everyone in this world supports?
Watch them push this team back!

At this moment, both teams are exchanging heated opinions with each other from their respective benches.

As mentioned before, before each major duel, the two sides in each round of duels can discuss and decide on the final duel method.

One is the regular "1v1" battle mode, another is the more standard "best of three" mode, and yet another is the most orthodox WRGP duel mode - relay duel!
Of course, because this duel involves duelists from all over the world and even from multiple dimensions, it is not a traditional relay duel like in the past. Therefore, the organizers are considering adopting a best-of-three format for future tournaments.

As for the current problem...

Team 5DS wants to duel with their "Yūya Sakaki"!
"That 5DS guy!"

"That must have been Wright who posted that!"

Some time ago, Wright came to their bench to talk to them personally. At that time, he showed unusual interest in Yuya Sakaki. Several people guessed that it must be the "Pendulum Summoning" that caught that guy's attention.

So, several LDS members discussed it—to be precise, Todo Rin and Shijima Hokuto thought it was a very good opportunity.

Let that guy who likes to talk nonsense know how powerful they are!

Moreover, since WRGP has to go through so many rounds of duels, being able to know the cards and information of the 5DS team members in advance is a good thing, to some extent.

“We won’t let them know our world’s secret tactics! Knife Hall, this is a great opportunity!” Shijima Hokuto said to Knife Hall.

Daotangren nodded.

As a user of Pendulum Dimension Synchro Summoning, he is also curious and eager to duel with a genuine Synchro Duelist.

This is a rare opportunity!
He directly instructed his staff to tell them that Yuya Sakaki would not be making an appearance.

About ten seconds later, another message came in.

"In that case, why not have a standard relay duel? That's a characteristic of Synchro Dimension, and the key matches of future WRGP tournaments might just be like that."

The group looked at each other, somewhat puzzled by the reply.

After thinking for a while, Yuya Sakaki hesitated and said, "That makes sense, everyone. After all, we might have to participate in these kinds of duels again later, so it's good to get used to it first."

really--

"Then let's go prepare. The relay duel will probably take a lot of time."

"Wright has been confirmed as their first player to go into battle."

"Go, Nadaotang!"

"Oh!"

A group of people prepared the machinery while testing the D-wheel.

The City government was very generous, not only giving all members of the pendulum team a free D-wheel based on the number of people, but also customizing one for each person based on color and matching.

For example, the D-wheel of the Todoro blade is full of various blade designs—they are not real blades, but decorations, and they look very cool.

The three members of the Blade Hall left the track, and then they saw duelists coming towards them from the other side...

Wright!

"Huh? Where are your teammates?" Daotang Ren muttered instinctively.

Hikaru Amagi glanced at the three of them, then said, "You all know, right? In the WRGP tournament, intelligence is extremely important. In that case, it's definitely better to participate less."

"You bastard!" Daotang Ren's blood boiled, and he rushed in front of Tiancheng Guang, ready to grab his clothes and question him.

Hokuto Shijima, who was standing nearby, quickly stopped him.

"Of course, more importantly... today is different."

What does "today is different" mean?
None of the three understood.

However, preparations for the duel have already begun.

And this time——

The duel between Marufuji Sho and Kaiba Mokuma ended, and Kaiba Mokuma put away his cards with some surprise.

We actually lost!?
The cards he used were the latest researched Thunder Dragon series cards.

The Super Thunder Dragon was far stronger than ordinary monsters, and even with the Synchro Summoning technique that he had also learned, it was still defeated by Marufuji Sho.

Since that's the case, he naturally wouldn't refuse Marufuji Sho anymore.

After all, his role as a substitute is more like that of an agent. He would be very happy if a stronger player participated, so as to avoid missing any information during the duels.

"Ah! Wright is going to duel!"

As everyone was happily sitting down to discuss what to do next, suddenly, an audience member shouted.

Team 5DS!
The group of people from the merged dimensions quickly sat down.

Team 5DS is going to have another duel!?
What will we see this time?
Ding-dong

The red light started flashing.

Then, the green light came on!
Bang!
Wright and Blade rushed off the track.

“You’re from the Pendulum Dimension, so you probably don’t know much about speed duels. I’ll leave the first strike to you.” Wright didn’t even offer to go first.

"Hmph—Fine!"

"Duel!" X2.
Pendulum Team, Player No. 1, Blade Blade, LP: 4000.
Team 5DS, LP: 4000.
"what?"

Some viewers noticed the problem.

"Why is there only one person icon on my 5DS?"

"What? A relay duel? Only one person can participate?"

"Is there some mistake?"

"Don't be so arrogant, 5DS, it's not easy to beat them!"

"Oh no, are we going to lose?"

Some people are not optimistic.

One against three is just too difficult!

However, some believe that as long as Wright's trump card is played, there should be hope.

"What ace or not? If you want to use Blood Compensation, you won't have much health left. Even if you defeat someone, they can easily reduce your health to zero, and that's the end of it."

The biggest problem with one person fighting three is that 4000 LP is hard to compete with 12000 LP, especially since each opponent has to draw all 5 cards. Such a duel is not so simple.

Even the most devoted fans of Team 5DS were a little nervous at this moment, and some even privately questioned Team 5DS's strategy.

"My turn!"

The first attack was initiated by Daotangren.

He glanced at the cards in his hand and chuckled.

What a perfect hand!

“Wright, although I am a duelist from the Pendulum Dimension, I have always been learning Synchro Summoning. In my world, I have achieved a very high ranking using Synchro Summoning. Even the Duel Academy I am in has become famous.”

He explained his situation with a smile.

"He said he's a duelist who uses Synchro?"

"Ha, so he's clearly from another dimension, but he's using synchronization?"

"As expected, you've seen our superior summoning method from another dimension."

Daotang couldn't hear the audience's voices, but he was eager to hear what Wright, a native of the same dimension, would say.

"Really? That's good."

A perfunctory answer.

“I don’t care about that kind of thing,” Wright continued to say to Blade. “In the end, as a duelist, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Synchro, Xyz, Fusion, or any other summoning method.”

The real key is to stick to your choices and firmly believe in what you believe in.

"Blade of the Blade Hall—is what you believe, what you understand, what you know?"

"Hmph! Nonsense, I can't understand a word of it." Dao Tangren swiftly revealed a monster and placed it on the field.

"Normal Summon XX-Swordsman Pogate Knight. When this card is Normal Summoned, activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower X-Swordsman monster from your hand."

"Special Summon Level 3 Tuner Monster XX - Swordsman Fulem Knight!"

"It's not over yet. If you have two or more X-Swordsmen on your field, this card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand. Special Summon, XX-Swordsman Fortroll!"

"Whoa! Three monsters were Special Summoned at once!"

"And there have been adjustments!"

"You seem to have learned quite a lot."

Many viewers were quite satisfied with the performance of the student, Daotang Ren, after all, although the development seemed relatively conventional, he was still able to achieve synchronization.

"Here it comes, I'm going to perform a Synchro Summon!"

Daotang raised his hand, and the XX swordsman Fulhamlight on the field jumped into the air, then spun in place, turning into a whirlwind, and then into a green ring.

The Pogart Knight slowly flew over, then blended into it, gradually becoming a transparent model, and then began to change its appearance.

"Wielding a crossblade, traversing a mountain of corpses, Synchro Summon, Level 7!"

X-Swordsman Sosa!

Wearing a tattered red cloak, a swordsman with a very kind smile appeared on his face, holding two swords and making an X gesture, laughing heartily as he entered.

X-Swordsman Sosa, Level 7, Earth Attribute, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2500.
Wright rode his bicycle, watching the swordsman fly, without the slightest change in emotion.

"I've summoned a monster with 2500 attack power, comparable to Stardust Dragon!"

"That guy's doing pretty well—"

"It's not over yet! Activate Fulham Knight's effect: Once per turn, target 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon that monster! Revive, XX Swordsman - Fulham Knight!"

The short swordsman revived, and then began to spin again.

"Wow, I've Special Summoned a Tuner monster that I used in a Synchro Summon!"

"Could it be... continuous synchronization?!"

“That’s right! Now, let’s prove it with your specialty, Synchro Summoning—I’ll use the Level 3 Tuner monster Fulham Knight and the Level 6 Furtroll to perform Star Tuning!”

Silver armor, shine! Shatter the hopes of those who turn their blade against me!

"Synchronic Summon!"

Two golden XXs flashed on the monster's body, and a huge double-edged sword slashed through the air, creating a fierce wind.

"Level 9, XX-Swordsman Gatmus!"

XX-Swordsman Gatmus, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Beast Warrior Race, Attack Power 3100.
"Attack 3100?!"

"It's 100 points higher than Crimson Dragon!"

In terms of attack power alone, Gatmus's attack power is already quite excellent.

Wright looked at the monster with great interest.

but--

"End round!"

"..."

Wright turned a corner.

It unfolds exactly the same way as the original work.

Amagi Hikaru was thinking.

In terms of "student" level, this Daotang Blade is definitely stronger than the vast majority of first-year students in his world.

However, if we're talking about "Synchronous Duelists," then they fall far short.

"Toudou Jin, you were there when I asked Sakaki Yuya the last question. Now, I'll ask you again: if you want to 'know yourself and your enemy' and 'understand yourself,' do you really understand yourself?"

"Of course, how could I not know myself!"

"Do you know the effects of Gatmus?"

"Gatem can truncate 1 X-Swordsman monster on your field, allowing your opponent to randomly discard 1 card from their hand. That's a pretty powerful effect."

"Ha. Of course I know that." Daotang Ren said with a laugh, not doubting why the other party knew the effect of this card. "I'll prepare monsters to defend myself first, and then I'll use other tactics to recover and deplete your cards next turn, and then I can easily destroy your hand."

This is also one of his usual tactics; he used the same method when he sparred with the Prism Saka in his own dimension.

"When...when?"

?

"Regardless of the duelist, everyone needs to understand and strategize their own tactics; weakening opponents should definitely begin at the very beginning—"

"Knife Hall has its own ideas, you don't need to tell me!" In the duel voice chat, Shijima Hokuto couldn't help but loudly refute Wright.

"Hmph, so what do you know about us?"

"Do you even understand anything? Hahaha, very interesting. Now let's begin my turn—drawing cards."

Wright drew a card, then placed it in the slot of the D-wheel without even looking at it. Immediately afterwards, a card flew out of his hand.

He took the card, glanced at it, and understood.

"Since you want to know how much I know about you, then take a look at this—I've ugly-set the pendulum scale of the Pendulum Monster Casing Tool with Scale 9!"

"What!?" Daotangren was shocked.

"What!?" Almost everyone in the Pendulum Dimension stood up in shock.

Hokuto Shijima and Masumi Mitsutsu, who were on standby to provide support, were frozen in place.

Yuya Sakaki, who was watching the battle, had his pupils shrink and stared at the scene in disbelief.

Setting the pendulum scale?!
"What?!"

"Pendulum scale!?"

"Isn't that the thing that guy from Pendulum Dimension used!?" Yuya Sakaki had also participated in the battle before, so the audience was already quite familiar with Pendulum.

Can……

At this moment, they were all dumbfounded to see that their own family members had actually produced a "pendulum" card.

There are experts too! ?
"It's actually... a Pendulum Card." Dao Tang Ren stared blankly at it, then shook his head.

No wonder this guy kept asking us about knowing yourself and your enemy, and understanding yourself; it turns out he also got a pendulum?

but--

It's ok.

It's just a pendulum, right? I've seen that before!

Besides, there's only one...

"Activate the effect of Ugly Pendulum, once per turn, by paying 800 Life Points. Add 1 card other than Ugly from your Deck to your hand. I add Unstable to my hand and set it."

Its scale is...1."

Wright, LP: 4000 → 3200.
Ah!
"In this way, I can Special Summon as many Level 2 to 8 Shell Monsters as possible from my hand and face-up monsters in the Extra Deck!"

He swiftly raised the card in his hand.

"The machine casing's files are lustful; the machine casing's genome is greedy!"

Two different, bizarrely shaped machines rose up from behind Wright.

"Two high-level monsters! They were both Special Summoned at once??"

"This...this is pendulum summoning?"

Some people who hadn't watched Yuya Sakaki's duel before were stunned when they saw Light summon two monsters at once.

"A Pendulum Monster summoned by Special Summon or without Tribute will have its Level 4 increased and its Attack 1800 increased."

call--

If the attack power is only 1800, it's not a big deal...

"Did you forget something?"

Forgot something?
! !
Ah!
Wright casually raised one of the cards in his hand.

"This monster can only be Normal Summoned by releasing 3 of your Shell Monsters on the field."

“I equipped the sacrificial gear of the machine shell to Lust, so that it can be released as two monsters.”

"I release all three shell monsters on the field and send them to the Extra Deck for Normal Summoning!"

Hidden Materialistic Chassis Killer!

Done!

Hidden Shell Killer Materialism, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Mechanical Race, Attack Power 3000.
Oh no, this means even reducing Wright's hand cards won't help!

"It's still working, Blade Blade! Don't just stand there!"

"The effect of Lust, when released, can target 1 monster on the field. That monster returns to its owner's hand. I choose Gatmus. The effect of Shell Tribute, when this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, can be activated. Add 1 Shell monster from the Deck to your hand, and I add Cruelty to my hand."

Daotangren's expression changed, his eyes darkened, and he saw Gatmus on the field being intercepted by a huge machine, and then sent directly back to his extra deck.

“Pendulum Summoning is a tactic that allows for direct Special Summoning,” Hikaru Amagi said in a low voice. “For powerful high-level monsters, this is indeed a very convenient thing.”

But is there another possibility—that this summoning is also auxiliary to other summonings?

Daotangren looked at him.

“A Pendulum Monster sent from the field to the Graveyard is sent face-up to the Extra Deck and can be Special Summoned to the field by Pendulum Summoning the next turn. In other words, if I have a second Materialism in my Deck the next turn, I can use the effect of Ugly to search for Materialism, then Special Summon 3 Tributes by Pendulum Summoning, and then Tribute Summon the second Materialism.”

Dao Tangren's eyes widened, and he heard the danger, and... the possibility.

"Conversely, if you have cards that are both Tuners and Pendulum Monsters, you can Synchro Summon every turn! If you have Pendulum Monsters that can be used as Fusion Material on the field, you can Fusion Summon every turn!"
Pendulum Summoning has a great many possibilities—

He stared directly at Daotangren: "Have you thought about it, Daotangren?"

Uh ah—

"Hehe... The effect of Materialism is activated once per turn during your Main Phase. Your opponent must send 1 monster from their hand or field to the Graveyard."

Daotang Ren looked at his hand cards, then at the monsters on the field.

If you discard this monster from your hand, your chances of playing it again next turn will suddenly decrease!
However, if you don't discard the monsters in your hand, you'll have to take 3000 damage!
At that moment, he finally understood the meaning of what Wright had said earlier.

Instead of having two monsters on the field, it might be better to release Sosa and Gatmus to reduce Light's two cards in his hand.

But now... it's too late.

"I'm sending Sousa off the field to the cemetery."

For the sake of future hope, Daotang Ren must sacrifice the monsters on the field at this moment!

"Very well, a wise judgment—then, a direct attack on materialism!"

The massive machine slowly gathered a beam of light, then pierced the earth with a deafening roar!
"Waaaaahhhhhh—" His body appeared somewhat charred under the light, and for a moment it even turned into a small black figure.

Blade edge, LP: 4000 → 1000.
"hateful……"

Amagi Hikaru glanced at it and casually placed a card in his hand on the field.

"Set one card over and end the turn."

At that moment, the unstable pendulum effect activates. This effect activates during the End Phase of the turn you successfully Tribute Summon a monster. Draw the number of "Shell" monsters you Tributed this turn for the same turn. Draw two cards.

Hikaru Amagi drew two cards from her deck and placed them in the D-round slot.

Two more cards were drawn!

Dao Tangren's heart sank.

Pendulum Summoning was already possible, and now two more cards have been added to the hand. At this point, it's probably too late to use a strategy of reducing the number of cards in the hand!

"My turn, draw a card!"

call out--

He glanced at the card in his hand.

Pretty!

I got a usable card!
"Looks like I drew a useful card."

Daotangren looked up and glanced at Wright's overlay card.

Never mind, anyway—

"Normal Summon XX-Swordsman Regigera. When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can target 1 [X-Swordsman] monster in your Graveyard; add that monster to your hand. I'm going to add Fortroll to my hand!"

"That won't work."

! ? ?

"Open a face-down card, a continuous trap card, and use the effect of 'Re-Star'! If the monster is a Level 4 or lower when 'Re-Star' is Normal or Flip Summoned, activate this effect. Negate that monster until the end of the turn."

"Damn it!" Hokuto Shijima slammed his hand on the broadcast video of the D-wheel.

Mitsutsu Masumi also realized that Todorou was probably in danger.

It will be difficult to break out of the current situation.

"Let me go first! My monster has a higher attack power and can defeat Materialism!" Mitsutsu Masumi quickly said to Shijima Hokuto.

If Hokuto Shijima insists on persisting at this point, he will only be adding to the achievements of materialism.

But even so...

Facing this situation alone is still very stressful.

"...Negate the effects of monsters level 4 and below. Let me guess, could that card also negate the effects of monsters level 4 and above?"

“You guessed right,” Hikaru Amagi replied politely. “When a monster is Special Summoned, if that monster is Level 5 or higher, you can activate its effect. Negate that monster’s effects until the end of the turn, or banish it if it leaves the field.”

It's even worse than a 4-star rating!

Moreover, it's specifically designed for Synchro Summoning!
He looked at the "Monster Resurrection" card he had just drawn in his hand and felt somewhat helpless.

While this card can be used to revive Sosa, Sosa's effect, "Activate at the start of the Damage Step when this card battles a monster. Destroy that monster," is useless against Materialism!
Furthermore, since Fordroll was not recovered, continuous deployment was no longer possible.

With the cards in hand right now, there's definitely no way to defeat the opponent.

The only thing I can think of is... changing the hand card.

"Magic Card, Monster Resurrection, resurrects Sosa in the Graveyard."

"Then, Magic Card, Seven Star Sword, banish Sosa, draw two cards."

He has many Level 7 Synchro Monsters, which makes good use of this card.

After drawing his cards, he glanced at his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Spell Card: Hurricane! All Spell & Trap Cards on both players' fields are returned to their hands!"

A gust of wind howled, blowing all the cards away. The two floating mechanical creatures beside Hikaru Amagi were also swept back into his hand by the wind.

He looked at the card in his hand, remaining silent.

"Next, the scroll will be wiped out!" Daotang Ren played the next card.

Both players discard all cards from their hands, and then draw the same number of cards!

"Great! Now the pendulum's scale and that troublesome trap are both in the graveyard!" Yuya Sakaki cheered for his teammate upon seeing this.

When he saw the reappearance of the star on the casing, he was really worried for Daotang. He never expected that Daotang would still be able to find a way to deal with the terrible situation.

only……

However, it seems unlikely that they can continue like this.

Amagi Hikaru casually sent all the cards he drew to the graveyard.

"Sorry, Mitsuzu, Shishima, it seems this is where I'll be!" All Daotang Ren can do now is trust his teammates.

"It's okay, you've cleared the way for us!" A core tactic in relay battles is teamwork and preparation between teammates!
"Yes!"

"The round... is over."

During Amagi Hikaru's turn, he drew a card, glanced at it, and then silently covered it up.

"Materialism's effect: Once per turn, you must send a card from your hand or a monster on the field to the Graveyard!"

"Come on!!" Daotang Ren shouted at the top of his lungs, "I'll send the monsters on the field to the graveyard."

"Then, once again—a direct attack!"

As the beam of light crashed down, the rainbow-like D-wheel track erupted with a deafening roar. The Blade Hall Blade flew directly off the D-wheel with a thunderous boom and crashed to the ground.

"Dao Tang!" "Ren!" His relatives, friends, and classmates called out his name, worried about him.

Meanwhile, because they defeated an opponent, Wright's turn was forcibly ended, and the turn will once again fall to the Pendulum Exchange Team.

Mitsutsu Masumi gritted her teeth, leaped onto the magnificent jeweled D-Wheel, and sped off in pursuit.

Because the WRGP race track at this stage is a straight line rather than a loop, a rider who falls does not need to push their bike back to their starting point. However, since they have still defeated an opponent, the race is still somewhat tilted towards the "advantaged" rider—they can take advantage of this moment to cover a longer distance.

However, as Masumi Mitsutsu joins the duel, Light's D-Wheel speed will gradually slow down and return to normal.

"As expected of the 5DS, it's incredibly powerful!"

"He's strong, but ultimately it's because that sword-wielding guy isn't strong enough, right?"

"That's right... But it's already quite impressive that they were able to force Wright to use his pendulum."

"But... is using a pendulum and a monster summoned by the Superior Summon really appropriate for this guy? What's with 5DS anyway?"

"It's pointless. It's still 1 against 3, and now that the pendulum and traps are all gone, it'll be very difficult to win, right?"

These viewers in this world lavish praise on Wright of 5DS, because the stronger 5DS is, the more "face" they have in front of other dimensions, and the more empathetic they feel.

Conversely, many in the Fusion Dimension felt regretful upon seeing Wright defeat his opponent using this tactic.

Some of them genuinely believed that Light might be Hikaru Amagi—if Light really was Hikaru Amagi, then the idea that "Gouchen is Ryo Marufuji" held by Sho Marufuji and Fubuki Tenjouin would become a possibility worth exploring.

But now...

It's hard to believe that the person who used the superior summoning technique is Hikaru Amagi!
His understanding of pendulum summoning and superior summoning is truly astonishing; he really seems to be a native of this dimension.

Of course, there were also some people who were even more suspicious of Wright's identity.

Is the understanding of pendulums as superiors too advanced?
Any questions?

To achieve better integration, A-Guang is researching everything!
Hikaru Amagi glanced at the comments briefly, but didn't react much. He then heard a distant rumbling sound.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻
He slowed down his car, but he hadn't gone very far anyway.

Ultimately, the duel was too quick; it didn't last long at all.

Pendulum Exchange Team, Member #2, Masumi Mitsutsu, LP: 4000.
"My turn, draw a card!"

As Mitsu Masumi looked at the card in her hand, that eerie premonition grew stronger. She shook her head, stared straight ahead, and gazed at Wright's back.

"Activate the Spell Card, Disperse and Fuse!"

"Huh?" At that moment, everyone in the merged dimension exclaimed in surprise.

It's actually... a decentralized integration?
At the same time, Shijima also arrived at the place where Toudou Blade had overturned and landed. He quickly picked him up, helped the vehicle out, and walked away while laughing: "Mitsu is a duelist who uses Fusion Summoning. Although Materialism has 3000 attack power, it's fine as long as it exceeds 3000!"
Moreover, Blade has solved all the trouble! Mitsutsu can definitely defeat that guy!

Yes!

Although it is unaffected by magic, traps, or even monsters weaker than itself, it is fine as long as its attack power exceeds its own!

"If your opponent controls a monster, activate this effect of Fusion Scattering. Send the Fusion Materials from your Deck to the Graveyard (other than Rock-Type) of a Gem Knight Fusion Monster Card, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck that are not Gem Knights monsters until the end of this turn."

I sent Jewel Knight Red Garnet and Jewel Knight Jade from my deck to the Graveyard.

"Fusion Summon, Level 6, Gem Knight: Ruby!"

A crimson knight, wielding a battle axe, appeared beside the girl!

Gem Knight Ruby, Level 6, Earth Attribute, Fire Clan, Attack Power 2500 → 2000.
"Oh!!! Gem Knight!"

"It's the Gem Knight!!"

"It's really rare to see a Gem Knight in another dimension."

The duelist from the fused dimensions felt an immediate sense of familiarity upon seeing this card.

After all, this is the card series that the famous "Amagi Hikaru" liked to use!
"Fusion Summon, isn't that the card that so-and-so used before?"

"That boy named Hikaru Amagi who merged dimensions, that boy really likes fusion summoning."

"I never imagined that the Pendulum Dimension would have duelists who use Fusion Summoning. What a colorful world."

In this city, because of Hikaru Amagi's many competitions, duels, and rescues, he has gradually lost the disdain he once had for the "ancient" summoning method of "fusion summoning".

However, they were still very skeptical.

After all, it looks pretty strange for a Synchro Summoner's teammate to use Fusion or something.

"Fusion summoning? It is indeed one of the most convenient summoning methods. So, let's return to the previous question, Mitsutsu Masumi: do you know your enemy and understand yourself?"

“I…” Mitsutsu Masumi recalled the time when Yuzu was attacked and she was unable to help.

The whole thing started because Wright asked that question, and she'd been struggling with it. If she'd understood it then, Yuzu might not have been so frightened by what happened.

but--

Getting an answer at this time is extremely difficult.

"I don't know, and I don't care. All I know is that if it's a duel, I have to win."

"Normal Summon Jewel Knight Purple, Tribute itself according to its effect, Special Summon 1 Jewel Knight Normal Monster from your Deck!"

"Special Summon Gem Knight: White Crystal from the Deck by releasing it!"

"Wow! Captain Bai Jing—"

"It's Bai Jing, that little girl, she's quite impressive."

Although Bai Jing is just a simple, ordinary monster with an attack power of 2450, its existence has a very special significance for viewers of the Fusion Dimension.

"Oh..." Beside Amagi Hikaru, Shirakami unusually appeared on her own initiative, looking at the opposite side in surprise.

It could sense that the other party had almost the same energy as it in its current state, but it couldn't recognize who the other party was from the Knights Order.

The goddess Sophia's "creation" can completely replicate a card exactly like herself from her Knights of the Order days...

When Amagi Hikaru heard its evaluation, he responded twice, which can be considered as acknowledging its point of view.

Like Tierra, Sofia may not understand playing cards, but creating life is as simple as breathing for her, which explains why she can spread so many cards in the Pendulum Dimension.

"Ruby's effect can be activated once per turn by Tributing 1 other face-up Gem Monster you control. This card gains ATK equal to the Tributed Monster's ATK until the end of this turn! I Tribute White Crystal!"

Meanwhile, the Fusion Dimension members watching the duel on the screen knew exactly what to do next just by seeing Bai Jing appear.

"Great! This way we can get rid of materialism!"

"As expected, Bai Jing is really amazing!"

The surrounding audience watched them cheer, somewhat bewildered.

What does this have to do with Bai Jing?
The white crystals on the field transformed into pure white crystals and were embedded in the body of the red jade. Then, the giant axe in the red jade's hand began to grow violently larger.

Gem Knight Ruby, ATK: 2000→4450.
"Attack power 4450!"

"Wow, this is way better than Crimson Dragon! Even that Sin deck can't compare!"

"In this way, we can transcend materialism! We can destroy materialism!"

"Wow... they actually solved that super troublesome materialism problem all at once..."

Mitsutsu Masumi took a deep breath and pointed at Materialism in the sky: "Battle! Red Jade, attack Materialism!"

Ruby, the Gem Knight, swung her battle axe and charged toward materialism.

The giant battle axe struck the central controller of materialism, and with a crack, materialism exploded from the middle with a loud bang!
Bang! ! !
The towering machine began to disintegrate, with some fragments falling to the ground and causing a tangible tremor. One piece even nearly hit Wright, grazing his head.

Wright, LP: 3200 → 1750.
Ruby, ATK: 4450 → 4950.
"So, now you're out of options, aren't you?!" Mitsutsu Masumi encouraged herself.

Materialism is not a pendulum monster that can be destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard, unable to reappear. Without Materialism, the opponent's life points are not enough to use the Blood Compensation tactic!
can win!

"Cover two cards, end the turn."

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Wright's figure emerged from the ruins and thick smoke. Due to the extensive damage he had sustained, his vehicle's speed had slowed considerably.

It was precisely because of this that he was gradually overtaken by Mitsutsu Masumi.

He looked at the self-driving car, and the mask on his face slowly began to crack.

The upper left corner of the mask began to crumble, and because of this, Mitsutsu Masumi could see the eyes beneath the mask, and the true color of those eyes.

A huge close-up appeared before everyone watching the duel.

What kind of eye was that?
Beneath those purple eyes, mystery and power seemed to be brewing in the darkness, as if ready to erupt at any moment.

Many viewers were immediately captivated by this eye, and some even fell silent on the spot.

When the dimensions merged, everyone gasped in astonishment!
He looked at Mitsutsu Masumi, and Mitsutsu Masumi, who was facing him directly, was the one most clearly affected.

She looked into that eye, as if something had touched her heart.

“A brilliant move… Although Materialism is unaffected by Spell & Trap Cards, and even by most monster effects, it is still a monster after all. Since it cannot be dealt with by effects, it is best to destroy it directly by battle. Very wise.”

Masumi Mitsutsu felt her heart pounding.

"But—I still have the same question!"

Do you really understand yourselves?

"!!!" Mitsutsu Masumi didn't even dare to speak at this moment.

"Well then, it's my turn—draw a card."

He glanced down, casually removed his mask, placed it on the D-wheel, revealing his true face. Then, even louder and more numerous gasps, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, erupted.

"Since you're using fusion..."

Activate the Continuous Spell Card: Dispersion Fusion!
