Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 649 The Female Knight (1 words, please vote with monthly tickets~)

Decentralization and integration!?
When Mitsutsu Masumi saw the card, her heart skipped a beat.

How could it be, decentralized integration?
"That face, I've seen that face before!"

"It's that guy, isn't that Amagi Hikaru—"

The audience was abuzz with discussion, and many of them recognized him immediately.

Those in the Pendulum and Supersonic seats instinctively looked around upon hearing the nearby chatter, while the Pendulum team, currently battling 5DS, were even more puzzled.

A fusion duelist, who seems to be quite famous here?

"It's actually a lackey of Fusion!?" Inside the city hall, seeing Amagi Hikaru use Fusion, Kurosaki Hayato stood up abruptly, staring at the figure on the screen, his anger blazing.

"Amagi light."

"what?"

"That person's name."

"It's also Tiancheng?"

Yuto was calmer than Kurosaki Shun. He looked at the screen and noticed the gasps and screams from the audience. He became suspicious: "Is he a duelist from your dimension?"

"Do not……"

Godwin smiled and turned around to look at the two of them, saying softly, "He is Yusei's friend, from the Fusion Dimension... a true Fusion Duelist."

It really is a duelist from a dimensional fusion!
"Damn it, there are dimensional fusion lackeys hiding in your ranks."

"Please calm down, Lord Kurosaki Hayabusa. He is not [Kuzo], but [Invited]—he is a friend of Fudo Yusei." Godwin then raised another finger and said quietly, "Also, he is not a so-called lackey of the fused dimension."

Lord Kurosaki Hayabusa, he is—[the strongest Fusion Duelist]!

The strongest!?

Both of them showed expressions of extreme shock.

"The strongest Fusion Duelist, why would someone like that appear in Team 5DS? And can someone like that really gain the approval of people from your world?" Yuto couldn't help but ask.

Yes.

After the initial surprise, the audience quickly developed questions and doubts.

Although many people in the City know about Yusei, Crow, and Hikaru Amagi's past experiences, and even know that Crow and Hikaru Amagi were once sworn brothers, a true friendship that transcends life and death, is it really appropriate for a duelist from a fusion dimension to appear in Team 5DS?

but.

Regardless, this duel must continue.

Although Mitsutsu Masumi was shocked, she quickly suppressed her worries, listened to the cheers of her teammates and classmates, and regained her composure as she looked at her opponent.

"The effect of dispersion and fusion... Heh, you should be very clear about that, right?" Hikaru Amagi asked as he placed the card on the field.

“Of course,” Masumi Mitsutsu said without hesitation.

Her father was a famous jeweler in Pendulum Dimension, and she had seen all kinds of beautiful gems since she was a child. When she first saw the Gem Knight deck, she was deeply attracted to it and fell in love with it from then on.

Since she learned to use the Gem Knight deck, she was even able to observe the "shining" level of her opponent in duels. It was because of this that she discovered Yuzu, an unpolished gem, and they gradually got to know each other and became friends.

"Then, I will activate the effect of the Scatter Fusion. I will send the Fusion Materials from my Deck to the Graveyard, and then perform a Fusion Summon of a non-Rock-Type Gem Knight Fusion Monster."

"These are the two cards I'm sending to the cemetery."

Jewel Knight Yellow Jade; Jewel Knight Nafiru.

Huang Bi and the Gem Knight she didn't recognize.

It must be a fusion with the Thunder Clan's Gem Knight!
In Hikaru Amagi's hand, two cards transformed into electricity and flew out of the deck. Then, with a loud boom, a giant bull-horned warrior, wielding a shield and a silver spear, appeared on the field.

Gem Knight - Prism Crystal, Level 7, Earth Attribute, Thunder Clan, Attack Power 2450.
"Oh oh oh!!!"

"It's a light prism!!"

"It's been a long time. I never expected to see a Prism Crystal in this world."

The students from Duel Academy cheered.

Seeing Hikaru Amagi here, seeing him use the Jewel Knight, always gives me a feeling of being in another world yet also familiar.

Ryuzaki crossed his arms and stared at Hikaru Amagi on the screen. Although he didn't quite understand why Hikaru had hidden his identity to join the team, he figured there must be a reason for his presence.

Moreover... this is also an opportunity. Perhaps he can have another duel with Amagi Hikaru here, one that is free of any personal feelings.

"At this moment, activate the effect of Gem Knight Nafiru in the graveyard." After the fusion summoning ended, Amagi Hikaru raised his hand, and countless purple puppet threads rose from the ground. Then, a figure slowly rose from the graveyard.

"If this card is sent from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard due to the effect of Gem Knight Nafiru in the Graveyard, this effect is activated. Send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon this card."

I fused the Gem Knight and sent it to the Graveyard, then Special Summoned it to get the non-sulfur version.

A small Nephilim flew out of Hikaru Amagi's graveyard, then flapped its wings and flew alongside Hikaru Amagi's D-Wheel.

Eh!
That monster!

Masumi Mitsutsu stared blankly at the creature, whose colors were completely different and which looked more like some kind of alien monster than the Jewel Knight.

"The effect of 'Tabu-N-Sulfur' can only be activated if it is Special Summoned. Add 1 Gem Knight card other than 'Tabu-N-Sulfur' from your Deck to your hand. During this turn's Main Phase, your opponent takes half effect damage."

With a gentle flap of its wings, Hikaru Amagi's deck naturally shimmered with a purple light.

"Choose any one of the Jewel Knight cards?" Mitsutsu Masumi asked, somewhat surprised. "But... Jewel Knight Fusion is already in my hand, isn't it?"

Hikaru Amagi smiled.

"I want to join the standard magic card, Gem Knight Dispersion!"

Gem Knight Dispersion?

"Wow... they even need to use dispersion?" Jaden Yuki watched from below the stage and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This is... an incredibly luxurious treatment.

"What kind of card is that?" Mitsu Masumi was completely captivated by the card in Amagi Hikaru's hand.

"This is an extremely special card." Seeing the other person's curiosity, Amagi Hikaru smiled and began to explain without hiding anything.

It has two effects.

two?

This surprised even the students at the Duel Academy.

What? Dispersion has effects that haven't been used before?

"This card can be activated an unlimited number of times each turn, but each of its two effects can only be selected once per turn. The simplest effect is that it can add 1 Jewel Monster from your Deck that is banished to your hand. In return, during your opponent's Main Phase this turn, the effect damage they take is halved."

Search?

Masumi Mitsutsu realized the card's excellence.

Most of my other Gem Knight cards don't interact with Gem Monsters, but this card can directly search for Gem Monsters instead of just "Gem Knights"!?

"And its stronger, and more preferred, effect is..."

"Activate the magic card, Gem Knight Dispersion!"

Hikaru Amagi inserts the card into the Duel Disk.

"This card can be Fusion Summoned by using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material."

Fusion?

That seems to be no different from fusing with the Gem Knight...

“Furthermore—” Amagi Hikaru suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, and then a huge magic card pattern lit up behind him.

The tall knight, bathed in light from behind, wielding a greatsword, received the maiden's blessing—

"If you have a Gem Knight Fusion Monster in your Graveyard, you may use up to two Gem Knight Monsters other than Rock-type monsters from your Deck or Extra Deck as Fusion Material!"

what! ?

"what?!"

A gasp of amazement, even louder than the previous cheers, erupted.

The three Nordic trio were so frightened that they stood up.

Kurosaki Hayabusa stared wide-eyed at the image in disbelief.

The students of Duel Academy erupted in cheers, as always—

"It can actually fuse with the Extra Deck—wait, could it be that…!" Mitsutsu Masumi realized the danger.

"That's right. I fused the Gem Knight Topaz and Gem Knight Orange from my Extra Deck with the Gem Knight Nefertari on my field!"

Masumi Mitsutsu stared wide-eyed.

"Masumi!!!" Yuzu called out to her anxiously from the preparation area.

"O absolute king, radiant with light—absorb the power of all your companions and merge into your truest form!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"The King of the Jewel Knights!"

"The Absolute Stance of the White Crystal Knight—"

"Level 9, Gem Knight King - Radiant Diamond!"

Radiant with light, the multicolored gemstones emitted a dazzling glow.

The valiant knight slowly raised his greatsword, which he had swung countless times against injustice, unfairness, and wickedness, and it burst forth with a dazzling light brighter than any other.

Gem Knight King - Radiant Diamond, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Rock Race, Attack Power 2900→3300.
"This, this is truly unbelievable! We never imagined that the superior user and Synchro master we've always thought of was actually... was actually Hikaru Amagi! And the deck he was using was exactly the same as his opponent's!!"

Sweat began to bead on Mitsutsu Masumi's forehead.

Oh no! The topaz sent to the graveyard can attack twice, while the orange-yellow crystal can prevent the opponent from activating spell/trap and monster effects when attacking.

"This...this guy is actually a Fusion Duelist?"

"Damn it, he's clearly a Fusion Duelist, yet he keeps questioning his self-awareness. Is this guy crazy?"

The voice of her classmate rang in Masumi Mitsutsu's ears.

Something occurred to her, and she couldn't help but suppress her panic, asking, "Could it be... that you decided not to hide your identity because you saw me use Fusion Summoning?"

Since this person had concealed their identity before, it meant they must have some secret they needed to hide. But after seeing her use fusion...

“That’s right,” Amagi Hikaru said. “Of course, I didn’t originally intend to show myself in this way.”

His true opponent is definitely Yuya Sakaki. If Yuya Sakaki appears, he will not consider hiding his identity, but will genuinely ask the other party about his true thoughts.

The reason for this was not that he didn't care about his identity being exposed, but because of Amagi Yuto's previous actions, the WRGP officials allowed and announced that duelists from other dimensions could freely form teams to participate in the competition, so he, as a "smuggler," could naturally appear openly.

After all, the main reason he hid his identity was to avoid causing trouble for his teachers, classmates, and elders, so that they could have an easier time with diplomacy. But now that the rule of the superdimensional dimension being broken first has been broken, there's no need for that.

And since the opponent's duel also happened to involve fusion, there was really no need for Hikaru to have Tiera fight in his place.

"A true... Fusion Duelist."

She murmured softly.

Just then, she heard two anxious voices in her ear.

"Watch out, Mitsutsu!" Sakaki Yuya's voice cut in.

"Masumi, watch out—that person, the staff at Synchro Dimension said that person is... [the strongest Fusion User] [the absolute Fusion User]!"

The two were very worried about her.

Mitsutsu Masumi swallowed hard.

The strongest!?

absolute?!
So exaggerated?

She looked directly into Amagi Hikaru's eyes again, and felt as if she had been struck by a spiritual shock, her heart skipping a beat instinctively.

"The effect of Gem Knight Fusion from the Graveyard banishes Gem Knight Jade from the Graveyard and adds it to your hand."

Diamond, ATK: 3300 → 3200.
coming soon!
She became nervous.

"Activate the effect of Light Prism." Hikaru Amagi held up the Jewel Knight Fusion card in front of her: "Once per turn, send 1 Jewel Knight card from your hand to the Graveyard, then target 1 face-up card on the field and destroy that face-up card."

I'm going to destroy your Continuous Spell Card, Scatter Fusion.

Well----

The prism raised its left shield, and the light, refracted by the shield, penetrated the scattered and merging light on the opponent's field.

Because of the destruction caused by the dispersion and fusion, the monsters born from the dispersion and fusion were instantly shattered.

"Activate the effect of Jewel Knight King Diamond." Hikaru Amagi pressed the Graveyard button. "Dispel one Level 7 or lower Jewel Knight Fusion Monster from your Graveyard, and gain that monster's effect and card name. I banish Orange Crystal."

Diamond, ATK: 3200 → 3100.
"When Orange Crystal is used in battle, the opponent cannot activate the effects of Spells, Trap Cards, or Monsters until the end of the Damage Step..."

"I remember it very clearly."

"Why not choose topaz, which has a greater explosive potential?"

"That's because I can't deal with your two overlay cards."

After responding, Amagi Hikaru pointed at his opponent: "Let's fight. Attack directly with the Shining Diamond."

Huizuan raised the giant rainbow sword in his hand, the gems on the sword shimmering with bright colors, shining on Mitsutsu Masumi. Just as she was feeling confused, she felt a sharp pain all over her body and instantly lost a large number of lives.

Mitsutsu Masumi, LP: 4000→900.
"Direct attack with light prisms."

"Wait, activate the trap card - Absorption Shield."

Hikaru Amagi was somewhat surprised.

Oh, so this is what it covers.

"When the opponent's monster declares an attack, it targets 1 Attacking Monster. Negate that monster's attack and you gain Life Points equal to that monster's ATK."

The light refracted by the prism struck the transparent shield, and then, like spring water, the brilliance of the gem slowly healed Masumi Mitsutsu's life.

Mitsutsu Masumi, LP: 900→3350.
"call--"

Her friend immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the health points are safe again.

Even so, Mitsutsu Masumi's speed decreased and became quite slow.

Amagi Hikaru raised an eyebrow, looked at the cards in his hand, and covered one of them.

"End turn."

"You keep asking whether we understand ourselves or not. What are you asking?" Mitsutsu Masumi struggled to control the car as she drove alongside Amagi Hikaru, trying to speak as she did so.

“My father is a famous jeweler. I have seen countless jewels since I was a child. In my eyes, the Jewel Knight is such a dazzling card.”

She looked at Hikaru Amagi, hesitated for a moment, somewhat worried about his presence, but still said, "In my eyes, you shine like a diamond—but I've already heard that you are a duelist from the fused dimensions, haven't you?"

As a Fusionist of the Fusion Dimension, teaming up with the members of 5DS to help them potentially defeat their own world—is this kind of duel, this kind of strategy, really the right one?

No one in this world will believe you!

“A very reasonable question.” Hikaru Amagi suddenly became very interested.

He discovered that this girl wasn't a "blockhead" at all; on the contrary, she had quite a few ideas of her own.

"So, have you heard about Yusei's previous determination?"

?

Fudo Yusei's determination.

"He wants to reach out to all the friends he can work with to overcome the difficulties and create a new future."

"That's too vague."

"Yes—it's all empty talk, but he put it all into practice."

Mitsutsu Masumi blinked.

"In actual performance, one demonstrates one's will and beliefs time and time again; this is what a true duelist upholds."

Then, with a smirk, he opened his arms and boldly called out to the relentlessly pursuing camera: "Sorry, viewers of the Synchro Dimension and viewers of other dimensions! I am not [Light], but a duelist from the Fusion Dimension!"
I am the Absolute Fusion Master who pursues the ultimate fusion; I am Amagi Hikaru from the Fusion Dimension! You may not have seen me, but you should have heard of the duel I uphold. That's right, it is—[Fusion is the noblest way of summoning]! Anyone willing to engage in fusion summoning with me and pursue fusion summoning is welcome, no matter who they are!
Because what I yearn for is... ultimate fusion, fusion of lives, fusion of beliefs... absolute fusion! Therefore, even if the methods of summoning are different, even if the beliefs are different, it doesn't matter, because fusion is inclusive!
Embrace different ideas, embrace opposing ideas, and embrace each other's determination.

Masumi Mitsutsu was dumbfounded.

Hikaru Amagi lowered his hand and looked at his opponent: "Using Gem Knights and Fusion Summoning, which are unfamiliar to your dimension, are not a big deal. The key is, what do you want to do?"

Looking at Hikaru Amagi, Mitsu Masumi wondered for a moment if he was a madman.

But the next second, she remembered the strange man who had suddenly appeared and attacked Yuzu a few days ago.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but they came out like this:

"If I do that, can I become stronger?" "Of course you can, absolutely!"

Hikaru Amagi nodded, meeting Masumi Mitsutsu's gaze. The shimmering purple in his eyes made Masumi feel as if she were about to be drawn into them.

If it were any other time, she would definitely think the person who shouted such a slogan was crazy.

can.

At this moment, facing Amagi Hikaru head-on, in the midst of her duel with him, she seemed to truly have that kind of impulse.

Perform a Fusion Summon—whatever it may be, just perform a Fusion Summon first!
"Tsk... A madman who merges dimensions." Kurosaki Hayato looked at Amagi Hikaru's declaration on the screen and felt that this person was definitely his greatest enemy in this life.

If the master of the strongest summoning method in a dimension is such an extreme madman, what would that dimension be like?
I simply can't imagine it.

However, to his surprise, the people from the same dimension were quite happy, and many even screamed at the scene.

In the comments section, a flood of comments poured in like rain.

"Here he comes! Just like before! Six months ago, when I watched him duel with Crow in City District 8, he was just like this!"

“I’m really lucky. I’ve only ever seen that duel from over a year ago.”

"However, it is truly remarkable that one can say such things without shame or hesitation."

"I was wondering why this Absolute Fusion Enabler was paired with Yusei. Now it seems that they just have different dueling philosophies. In terms of how they conduct themselves, they are actually very similar. They are inclusive and cooperative. Although there are differences, the key is that there are no disagreements! No wonder Yusei pulled him into the team."

"I suddenly feel like I can accept having an alien in the 5DS team... What's going on? Have I been brainwashed?"

"Wow... Yusei Fudo's team really showcases diversity to the fullest. The Revolutionary Army's Crow, the upper-level King Jack, the Fusion User from another dimension... Thinking about it this way, it seems like this really proves that Yusei wasn't lying?"

The Nordic trio exchanged glances, finally understanding why "Wright" had been so curious that day and had followed them all the way.

No wonder, even though Wright clearly heard their hostility towards Jack Atlas, he never showed any malice.

For Amagi Hikaru, it probably doesn't matter whether it's hostility or fighting spirit; as long as they're not evildoers, he can understand them.

"Could it be that Fudo Yusei really wants to create such a world, just as he said?" Brader asked incredulously.

“Working together, is he trying to return to the original harmony?” Harald contemplated a possibility he himself dared not believe.

“But it is indeed the most perfect solution... to bring everyone, all the gods, back to the time when they cooperated with each other... Is it really possible?” Braver found it hard to believe that such a concept existed.

"Hmph, perfect? ​​Just an escape—a foolish idea of ​​not wanting to fight with others! Besides, with that Jack Atlas around, I absolutely don't believe they can actually do what they say they can." Dragan said coldly, unable to believe Jack.

The three members of the Nordic trio each had their own ideas. After discussing them, they didn't come to any conclusions, but they basically reached a consensus: Yusei and Hikaru Amagi seemed to be worth looking forward to.

Naturally, the other "Chosen Ones" teams also had their own ideas.

Among the many teams, the three members of the New World team silently recorded the footage while gently sliding the data. However, from their occasional conversations, it was clear that they had a high level of affection for Hikaru Amagi.

"...My turn, draw a card!"

She drew a card and then exclaimed in surprise.

This is the gift that Yuzu and I exchanged—

She took a deep breath.

She doesn't possess the Gem Knight Dispersion.

But if she uses this card, she can do what Hikaru Amagi can do!
“Then—I’ll use this!” Mitsutsu Masumi revealed her hand. “I’ll activate the effect of Bright Rose in my hand!”
This card's name is also treated as a Gem Knight card according to the rules. Discard 1 other Gem Knight card or a Mirage card from your hand to activate this effect. Special Summon it from your hand!

She discarded the Jewel Knight Emerald in her hand, and then Special Summoned a monster to the field.

A bright, silvery-white crystal rose slowly emerges on a verdant branch, like the purest gem of friendship.

Bright Rose, Level 2, Light attribute, Rock type, Attack power 500.
"Once per turn, you can send 1 Gem Knight monster or Phantom monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect. This card's name, type, and Attribute become the same as the original name, type, and Attribute of the monster sent to the Graveyard for this effect until the End Phase!"

Bright roses!?
Tierra craned her neck, looking at the card with curiosity.

An unknown creation.

It seems... it's not from their world!
This is a card that could have been born in this world!
She was somewhat surprised.

Even beings from different worlds can connect with each other if they form a genuine bond.
The duel... is still so wondrous.

"I may not be able to become a true knight, but I will protect my friends and protect Yuzu!"

“Masumi—” Yuzu said a little embarrassed.

It's hard to say who will protect whom... especially with Yuya involved.

"I sent the Gem Knight Topaz from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

"Then, open the face-down card, the Trap Card Waste Fusion, banish the Fusion Materials listed on the [Gem Knight] Fusion Monster Card from your Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 of that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase of this turn."

She picked up the card from the cemetery.

"Excluding the Emerald, Ruby, and Crimson Pomegranate from the graveyard, I will fuse them for summoning!"

A magnificent new dress glitters among the stars.

A rather delicate-looking female gem knight appeared on her field.

"Gem Knight Lady, Bright Diamond!"

Gem Knight Lady - Diamond, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Rock Race, Attack Power 3400.
"Attack power 3400, higher than the opponent's!"

"However, the other side has a dispersed yet integrated strategy. If we don't defeat them now, it will be much harder to fight them later."

Her two teammates were exchanging heated opinions in her ear.

Yes--

She agrees with this idea.

and so……

"I activate the effect of Jewel Knight Lady: Diamond once per turn during my Main Phase. Send 1 face-up Jewel Knight monster you control to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 Jewel Knight monster from your Extra Deck, ignoring its conditions!"

"Uh?"

"Wow!"

"Gem Knight even has that kind of monster?!"

"Wouldn't that mean...!"

Even the audience from the Fusion Dimension were somewhat surprised. They hadn't actually paid attention to the Pendulum Dimension duels before, so they hadn't seen it. But now, after hearing about the effect of the Radiant Diamond, they immediately understood the significance of this card's effect.

"I send the Bright Rose, which I regard as the Jewel Knight Topaz, to the graveyard. Special Summon: Jewel Knight King Diamond!"

A tall figure appeared beside her, wielding a giant, seven-colored sword!

Gem Knight King - Radiant Diamond, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Rock Race, Attack Power 2900→3300.
"It's the same monster!"

"Wow……"

"Seeing the same monsters fighting each other is a unique experience."

"Hahaha. This is the first time I've seen a Shining Diamond appear opposite A-Guang, and the Shining Diamond's attack power is even higher than A-Guang's!"

Even if Mitsu Masumi Diamond needs to banish one monster to activate its effect, its attack power is still 100 higher than Amagi Hikaru's Diamond!

"Here comes the attack! I activate the effect of Jewel Knight King, banishing the Topaz from my Graveyard! I gain its effect and card name—it can attack twice per turn, and when it destroys an opponent's monster by battle, it inflicts damage to that monster by its original ATK!"

Mitsutsu diamond, ATK: 3300→3200.
"That way, all I have to do is attack..."

Hikaru Amagi's first face-down card was a trap card that hadn't been used in the previous turn, which was clearly not an offensive trap. And the next card, even if it could destroy the Diamond, still had the Jewel Knight Lady on her field.

However, since the Gem Knight Lady will destroy things in the end phase, she will definitely prioritize using the Diamond attack.

"Your fusion... is very good."

Hikaru Amagi spoke slowly, looking at Masumi Mitsutsu, and said, "From your fusion, I can feel your guilt, and I can feel your courage to help your friend."

He raised his hand and said some things based on the knowledge he had summarized from the Selfless Painting School and his own experience: "In exchange, I'll remind you that if you want to obtain [Dispersion], then you must have the determination and strength to protect the important people even if it means suffering. I love fusion, I respect fusion, I pursue fusion, so I'm happy to tell you how a fusion duelist who is willing to learn and is just starting out should move forward."

but.

"After all, a duel is still inevitable."

Hikaru Amagi's words caused Masumi Mitsutsu's expression to change drastically.

"Open the overwrite card!"

"Continuous Trap Card, Shaddoll's Apocrypha!"

What kind of card is that?

"This card can be activated during your or your opponent's Main Phase. Banish the Fusion Materials listed on a Shaddoll Fusion Monster Card from your field or Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck! After that, you can send 1 monster your opponent controls with the same Attribute as the monster Special Summoned by this effect to the Graveyard. The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack directly."

Shadow?

Not... Gem Knight anymore?

"When...was Shadowy?"

"Have you forgotten that your friend used a secret document to eliminate you in order to create an opportunity for you?"

Yes!

She remembered that scene.

"I am a fusion duelist who seeks the ultimate fusion, an inclusive duelist. I will learn from all fusions. Only in this way can I be worthy of calling myself inclusive. So, witness it!"

Except for the Materialist Mech Killer hidden in the graveyard and the Shaddoll Dragon in the graveyard!

The towering machine reappeared; the machine that had once seemed like a nightmare slowly emerged onto the field.

Immediately afterwards, in the graveyard of Amagi Hikaru, Nafiru, who had flashed by before, flew out of the graveyard, and his body began to swell, grow bigger, bigger, and bigger!

The towering giant's body was gradually stained with silver, and then, countless puppet strings wrapped around the giant's body, entangling materialism.

"Fusion Summon——"

"Shadow of the Earth God!"

"Shadowy Shejinnaga!"

Shado-Shakinaga, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Machine Race, Defense 3000.
"The Earth God's Shadow?" Manjoume sat up straight, his face full of surprise. "That kid Amagi... he's collected all the Shadow Gods of all attributes?!"

"Hikari! He actually collected all the types of Shadowy!" Judai clapped his fists together to celebrate for Hikaru Amagi, and also felt a faint excitement.

"Based on the effects of the pseudo-canon, send your Gem Knight to the graveyard."

Mitsutsu Masumi noticed that countless puppet strings flew out from the side, forcibly pulling and dragging the [Radiant Diamond] to the graveyard. As a result, only [Radiant Diamond] remained on her field.

"That monster's body was actually...materialism??"

"My God, Hikaru Amagi really didn't lie to us! Even a monster like materialism is still part of the fusion in his heart."

"Even though it's a monster unaffected by magic and traps, it can be transformed into a fusion monster in this way..."

Many viewers who hadn't seen Hikaru Amagi many times couldn't help but whisper among themselves, while those familiar with Hikaru, such as Jaden Yuki and Manjoume, were discussing what stage of Hikaru Amagi's alchemy the six attributes of "Kami-eki-do" represented, and why it suddenly had the earth attribute.

As his opponent, Masumi Mitsutsu couldn't help but gape.

Because of her, I gradually realized something that was terrifying when I thought about it.

if--

If Amagi Hikaru had activated the Pseudo-Scripture while she was fusing and summoning the Shining Diamond, wouldn't she have been unable to summon the Shining Diamond at all?
Then she understood.

That person, that man named Amagi Hikaru, wanted to see where his fusion limit was!

She took a deep breath.

"wrong."

"what?"

In the teammate's voice chat, Mitsutsu Masumi's voice suddenly rang out.

“We were wrong… That person wasn’t trying to cause trouble for Yuya Sakaki; he was just curious whether we duelists using special summoning techniques could truly understand our own resolve.”

Although they have mastered special summoning methods, these methods were all transmitted to their world from other dimensions. Do they really realize the true nature of these summoning methods?
the answer is……

Unknown.

At least until today, she has only regarded fusion as a convenient way of summoning, and has never thought about what she really loves about the Gem Knight.

Today, Amagi Hikaru happened to run into him, which was a perfect opportunity for a battle, so I decided to ask him out of curiosity.

For this, he even abandoned his disguise, just to help a fellow fusion duelist!
This is what inclusion and helping are all about!

Absolute fusion, is it...?

She shook her head: "Gem Knight Lady, Brilliant Diamond Attacks Brilliant Diamond!"

Regardless of what lies ahead, at least she now understands the path ahead.

A knight should act like a knight!

Since she is a knight, she cannot be afraid of failure. Besides, her attack power is higher!

The Jewel Knight Lady raised her rapier and gave a distant knightly salute to the Radiant Diamond. Captain White Crystal was somewhat surprised, then clenched her fist in front of her and returned the salute.

The female knight then wielded her rapier to fight the radiant greatsword knight, and after a short while, Captain White Crystal was the first to be destroyed.

Amagi Hikaru, LP: 1750→1450.
Following this, due to her own instability, the female knight gradually began to disintegrate and eventually disappeared.

"End... round."

Hikaru Amagi smiled, drew a card from his deck, and raised an eyebrow.

“I’ll use this one too… Normal Summon Jewel Knight Azure, activate its effect, Tribute itself, Special Summon Jewel Knight White Crystal from the Deck.”

Two 2450s, added together, amount to a total of 4900, which is completely useless against Mitsutsu Masumi, who has nothing...

"Battle. White Crystals, attack directly."

"Ah ...

"Mitsu!" Yuya Sakaki stood up. "Shishima, let me do it. That gentleman wants to duel me—"

"Sorry, Yuya Sakaki." Hokuto Shijima mounted his D-Wheel.

Now he naturally knew that Amagi Hikaru had no ill intentions, but since he had already gone ahead, there was no reason to back down.

"Moreover, I don't want others to think that we LDS students will back down when faced with difficulties!"

Yuya Sakaki was somewhat helpless—

He really wanted to say, "You're the weakest of the trio, how can you fight Amagi Hikaru?"

This isn't a novel or anime; you don't have the "the stronger ones appear later" trope! You also can't say things like, "Haha, we just dealt with the two weakest ones; there are many others like them!"
Everyone knows that Masumi is the best of the three of you...

But he held back the words.

Yes!

Although Amagi Hikaru initially sought him as an opponent, it was Shishima and his group who ultimately stepped onto the stage and participated in the duel!

He had no reason or justification to stop someone else's duel!
This was the most basic logic that Mr. Game told him back then.

Duelists should respect duels!

However, during this duel, he remembered something.

A duelist who prioritizes fusion—could this senior named Hikaru Amagi be the "duelist with an extraordinary understanding of fusion" that Mr. Game mentioned?

He suddenly felt a surge of anticipation.

Actually, it wasn't just that his opponent was curious and wanted to duel him; he had also always been curious about who the duelist with a transcendent understanding of fusion, whom Mr. Game had mentioned many times, was, and what kind of duel it was.

Today I truly witnessed his words and actions...

It must be admitted that even when he most longed to be an entertainment duelist, it seemed that he was not like this Amagi Hikaru.

There's a kind of inexplicable madness about him, but he actually seems quite rational and calm. I don't know how he developed this style.

A few minutes later, Hokuto Shijima used two monsters to stack Star Saint Pleiades, hoping to use its effect to return Hikaru Amagi's Fusion Monster to his hand. Hikaru Amagi sighed helplessly and activated the effect of Shejinnaga, which negated and destroyed Pleiades's effect.

Just as he thought.

Hokuto Shijima was indeed the one who lost the fastest.

Despite reducing Hikaru Amagi's lifespan significantly, there were still too many monsters left for him to handle.

It's a bit of a shame about Yuya Sakaki.

But then he realized—

When the contestants return, won't I be able to make contact with Amagi Hikaru again?

　1W1W, as usual, the details are well-balanced. This isn't about Hoshino Seiji; in the original work, Toudou Jin and Kenjiro Saka drew, Mitsutsu Masumi won against Hiiragi Yuzu, and only Hoshino Seiji, Shijima Hokuto, lost to Yuya. Although the original work had action duels, if the action duels were removed and the original results were maintained, the outcome would be the same.

　　Of course, another reason is that three consecutive duels are not really suitable to write about.
