Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 651 The Ringing Bell (7K views, please vote with monthly tickets~)

"Thanks for your hard work."

Back at the bench, Yusei spoke to Amagi Hikaru as usual.

As for why Amagi Hikaru suddenly lingered on the field for so long, he didn't seem inclined to ask at all.

More than these concerns, he was worried that it might be bad for Hikaru Amagi if he removed his mask and revealed his identity on the field.

Hikaru Amagi responded.

It doesn't really matter.

Ultimately, he hid his identity not because he was afraid of being targeted or being targeted.

That's not true.

His concern stemmed primarily from whether the dimensional fusion project could proceed smoothly.

Now that the overdose has caused an unexpected situation, he naturally no longer needs to hide it.

As for Tiera's earlier mention of "practice," it doesn't really matter anymore.

On one hand, this is already the second round of the elimination round for Hikaru Amagi, and he will only be able to play once more. Considering the possible unforeseen circumstances that may occur later, Team 5DS believes that each member should at least retain one solo opportunity to participate.

Therefore, Jack and Crowe will be the main participants in the competition going forward.

Therefore, Hikaru Amagi will have plenty of time to go to the DT dimension with Tiera.

Tiera is not human, and she has recovered enough power to duel however she wants and practice however she wants.

As for whether Sophia, who was hiding, would secretly watch her or something, she didn't care at all.

This matter is unremarkable.

She would also secretly observe Sophia, but it was no big deal.

Compared to all of this, there was one thing that made Amagi Hikaru very happy: although Toudou Blade was still a little confused, by the time they fought Mitsutsu Masumi, the three of them had gained a lot of insights. And Mitsutsu Masumi, as the user of the Jewel Knight, really had the feel of a female knight.

The "bright diamonds" she used also left a deep impression on Bai Jing.

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that the "Jewel Knight Lady Diamond" that Amagi Hikaru has been missing has finally been created in this duel.

As one of the earlier spirits in Amagi, and possessing the energy of a high-level spirit, Xiaoliu had never been able to use this power before. It was only with the help of the Costume Witch that she gradually mastered her two different energies.

Previously, she had only ever encountered "Lapis Lazuli" and "Emerald" at most. The reason for this was that, as a healing-specialized elf, she had not had much contact with high-level knights in the Gem Knights. She had hardly ever seen a level like White Crystal. Today, when she saw Diamond, she suddenly remembered memories that she couldn't recall before, and felt that she could try to evolve again.

This is great news.

Although she already has "Gem Knight Neferturi," an extremely powerful support form for Hikari Amagi, the more advanced forms she has, the better.

Not to mention, if the Brilliant Diamond itself has 3400 points of damage and then creates a Shining Diamond that can replicate the graveyard effect, it can easily break through your 8000 health points, let alone 4000.

Unfortunately, Hikaru Amagi didn't get either "Bright Rose" or "Crystal Rose," but considering that these two cards are more of a symbol of the friendship between Yuzu Hiiragi and Masumi Mitsutsu, and a manifestation of the power of flowers, Hikaru Amagi didn't dwell on it too much.

So far, Hikaru Amagi's collection of Gem Knight cards is already quite complete.

According to his recollection, he was still missing a "Gem Knight Quartz" card that he considered quite important. In addition, although he had a fairly complete set of Gem Knight cards, he was basically missing "Gem" cards, such as Gem Turtle and Gem Armadillo. Leaving aside Gem Turtle for the moment, Gem Armadillo is a very important card.

and.

Amagi Hikaru speculated.

Since cards like "Gem Knight Nefertir" and "Gem Knight Dispersion" have already been released, there should be a new fusion form, and maybe even something like Shaddoll Mega Diamond.

I'll write to Mr. A later and ask him.

If He can point out the direction, that would be a very good thing for Amagi Hikaru.

In addition...

More importantly, Amagi Hikaru needs to adjust his deck as soon as possible.

Today's deck is a relatively specialized "Earth/Fire" deck designed for easy control and mixing with Tiera. It can be used by both Amagi Hikaru and Tiera. Even the Pendulum cards are equipped with enhancements so that you can use them to switch characters for fusion when necessary.

Going forward, using Death Prison, Albus, and Predator might be better and more convenient for dueling in this world. It would be better to make some minor changes when you have time.

Although there are still some issues with the details.

For example, if he suddenly removes his mask, is he still "Wright"? The authorities will still discuss this with him and may even punish him. This is all reasonable; if you participate in a duel under an assumed name, you naturally have to bear the consequences of having your identity exposed.

Fortunately, Jack had his privileges—he didn't mind using them at all—so the matter of Hikaru Amagi was dropped.

After all, Hikaru Amagi only used a code name to participate in the competition. He didn't steal, rob, impersonate anyone, or fight four or five duels by himself, so they wouldn't directly persuade him to leave.

But again.

Hikaru Amagi was subsequently subject to participation restrictions.

In short, Hikaru Amagi will be unable to participate in the next three duels—including the group relay duel.

What can we do? We just have to accept it.

Anyway, the 5DS team had already decided to replace some of their players to get a feel for the competition.

At this moment, a new round of duels is about to begin on the field.

Hikaru Amagi and the others gathered in front of the screen at the preparation area, filled with both curiosity and anticipation.

This is also the most criticized aspect of this match.

Regardless of who they are or which team they are, they all have their own separate preparation area, calculation room, and communication room, which are arranged in a tree-like structure and distributed on different roads. This means that each team cannot normally interact with other teams. Apart from the possibility of accidentally bumping into each other while eating, they can only meet on the [match field] at other times.

This is a major headache for Yusei Fudo, who wants to "cooperate".

Similarly, for those who have something on their mind or want to find someone, this is also quite frustrating.

Because of this, they have no way to greet or visit normally; they can only go through the procedures step by step, which is quite troublesome.

At this moment, the players from both teams finally took to the field.

The competition format they chose was...

Single-player high-speed duel competition.

"Ugh, I really wanted to be the first one on stage." Yugo sighed, looking at the data on his computer from the preparation bench.

"I'm sorry, Yugo, only you and Rin can understand these D-Wheel data..." Ruri said politely from the side.

Yuwu sighed again.

He and Rin share the same D-wheel, which means that no matter what the circumstances, as long as Rin appears, he definitely can't go on stage unless Rin manages to push the wheel back in time to let him go on stage.

Some people may wonder, didn't WRGP assign each player a D-wheel?
But he is different from Rin.

Their D-Wheel was made by him and Rin together in the Lower City through learning, with the help of Yusei. It can be said to be a symbol of their bond and knowledge. That's right, although he looks loud and clumsy, Yugo is a genuine genius who can make D-Wheels by hand.

He really wanted to participate in the first duel, but Rin nudged him and grabbed the handlebars first.

He understood this tactic; when everyone was rushing to attack first, they would shout "I'll attack first!" He just didn't expect that Rin would suddenly charge in at this moment.

Serena stood to the side with her hands behind her head, looking at the screen, seemingly unconcerned.

Although she loves and is passionate about dueling, she is ultimately there to help Ruri find someone. At this point, as a native of the Synchro Dimension, it would be better for Rin or Yugo to appear in the first match.

I don't know why, even though most of the teams have participated or even played, they've only just now been randomly matched with their opponents.

It's like... someone deliberately slowed down their appearance, making them participate in the game later.

She couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it and focused more on recalling the previous game.

The duel between Amagi Hikaru and Amagi.

Master's duel was so cool!

and……

Maybe their team will run into them.

If I were to fight my master back then, would I be able to?
At this moment, the Pendulum Dimension members, who had become curious because of Hikaru Amagi's words, returned to their special seats and looked at the screen with curiosity.

The Amazing Lightning Team is a group of rather unconventional girls, all of whom have lightning symbols on their bodies. Several of the girls are trying their best to cheer on the contestants.

And their opponents, the players from the Tsukito Kaze team, are...

"Huh?" Hiiragi Yuzu covered her mouth in disbelief.

"Yuzu?!" Mitsutsu Masumi and Sakaki Yuya stood up in surprise, approached the screen, and repeatedly confirmed.

"One, exactly the same person?!" Kenji Saka leaned back, almost falling off the chair.

No wonder Amagi recommended they take a look.

"Could it be that? It's that..." Hokuto Shijima waved his hands, saying, "I've seen it in educational videos, it's that, parallel world isotope?"

Parallel world peers?
Yuzu paused for a moment, then a figure she had seen a few days ago suddenly flashed through her mind—the person with the same eyes as Yuya.

"Ruri!!!" After Rin appeared, Kurosaki Hayato, who was still pondering how dangerous the [Fusion Hound] would be, saw the figure on the screen and was suddenly startled. Then he screamed at the top of his lungs, which startled Misawa Daichi, who was scratching the back of his head because of Amagi Hikaru's appearance and seemed to have recovered and remembered some memories.

what? What?
Before he could react, Kurosaki Hayabusa turned and ran outside.

He doesn't care about the rules of the WRGP tournament, and he doesn't care about the fairness of the duel.

As long as I can find my sister, nothing else matters—

Bang!
Unexpectedly, before he had even taken two steps, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and when he came to his senses, a voice rang out.

"She's not Ruri!!" Yudou shouted back at him.

Falcon paused for a moment, then looked back and saw the girl's white motorcycle outfit, her different expressions and movements, and the name that appeared on her face...

cold?
It's definitely not glass...

He grimaced and took a couple of breaths, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You Dou, can you not use your fists next time?"

"Uh, cough cough, sorry, I'm a little worried you might scare other girls again," Yudou quickly explained, then hesitated before adding.

Immediately afterwards, he frowned instinctively.

One, two, including Liuli, there are a total of three identical people?

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

While they were still debating, the duel had already begun.

Rin will be the first to attack.

The deck she was using was a Synchro deck called "Wind Witch". When she saw Wind Witch appear and start Synchro Summoning, Kurosaki Shun's last bit of hope vanished.

There's no room for further imagination. It's definitely not Ruri. The Ruri he remembers would never use such a large monster. Although the Wind Witches are all cute monsters, Ruri would always remain the same in the end, instead of adjusting the stars like Rin does and summoning a giant monster.

Surprisingly.

In terms of style, Wind Witch's deck is somewhat similar to Ruri's.

Wind Witch is a special deck that uses monster effects to reduce the opponent's health.

In the first round, Rin used the effect of her card to reduce her opponent's health by 1300, and then ended her turn.

Hmm, it looks normal.

And her opponent...

After drawing the card, the girl from the Wonderful Lightning Team couldn't help but laugh out loud, even jokingly saying, "We seem to be the same kind of people."

Rin frowned slightly.

The other person seemed like a gothic, gloomy girl, but it turned out she had a rather fiery personality. When she was being drained of health, she didn't say anything like "That's despicable!" or "I only want to cause damage, I don't want to fight!" like the other duelists she had encountered.

Then she knew why—

The deck used by Team Amazing Lightning is...

Electric! If the Wind Witch's specialty is whittling down health, then Electric's specialty is—direct attack!
"What a match made in heaven, a true clash of titans." Watching the duel unfold, Crowe couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Although he only took care of Rin and Yugo for a few months, those few months were enough for the two kids to genuinely call him "brother." Naturally, someone who loves children like him had already taken the time to study their card decks while taking care of them.

Although Yugo is very smart and knowledgeable, he is still a child at heart. Therefore, his duels are full of whimsical ideas and relatively outrageous tactics. He also likes to use "toy" decks. Rin, on the other hand, is like the deck she uses. She usually looks quiet and gentle, but in fact, she is more powerful than Yugo when she gets into a fight. If Yugo says even the slightest thing that is irrational, stupid, or childish, she will show him her strength like a witch.

The two grew up together, supporting each other and even studying under Youxing together; they were inseparable.

However, because they also grew up in the satellite district, they each have their own "protective colors." For example, Rin, who previously only trusted Yugo and a few of her older brothers, never thought of using duels to open up to others. Her tactic was to reduce their health.

Unexpectedly, today she encountered a similar duelist who didn't want to interact with his opponent and only wanted to attack directly in the face.

He was a little worried.

Two autistic kids fighting... is that even possible? Won't they become even more autistic afterward?

He was more worried about the two girls' growth than the outcome of the duel.

Then, he suddenly thought of something else.

Summarizing his experience and reflecting on the past, Crowe came up with a conjecture.

Are duel arrangements really random?

Why did Rin happen to encounter the perfect opponent?
Not only that--

The more he watched the duel, the stranger it seemed.

As the duel progressed, Rin and her opponent also exchanged words.

The little girl who uses electricity talked about how she was bullied in a poor country. It was the duel that helped her and her friends find a way to survive, so they don't trust anyone except their friends and cards.

She saw the same thing in Rin's duel.

"But you actually hesitated—"

The girl was puzzled: "Why? You could have just kept reducing his health points, why were you hesitating?"

why?

From the moment Hikari Amagi appeared in their world, from the moment Serena and Ruri entered her life, from the moment she had two "sisters" who were not related by blood but were genuine, she no longer held onto that idea.

Perhaps the past experiences were indeed painful, but that doesn't mean there's no one in the world you can trust.

As long as you can tell the difference, that's fine.

Although……

Up until now, she only trusts the two girls who look exactly like her, and Hikaru Amagi, who once saved her and Yugo's lives, but this has indeed changed what she has always believed in.

"Since you're unwilling, it means you don't want to be one of us anymore. In that case, I'll..."

Lightning Girl was a little angry and slammed on the gas pedal twice.

"When Electric Yellowfin Tuna inflicts battle damage to your opponent through a direct attack, you can activate this effect. Tribute 1 or more face-up monsters in your hand or on the field (excluding Tuners), and Special Summon 1 Electric Synchro Monster whose Level and Tribute Level are equal to the total Level of the monster you hold and the monster you Tribute to your Extra Deck."

I'm adjusting the star levels for the Electric Woodpecker and Electric Yellowfin Tuna on my card!

"It's a Synchro Summon from the hand? And during the Battle Phase?"

"Wow... a direct attack can adjust the star level, that's really interesting..."

"This WRGP is really interesting; I can see a brand new synchro every day."

Before the words had even finished, a brand new dragon with seven heads flew out onto the field.

Electric Seven-Headed Dragon, Level 7, Light Attribute, Thunder Type, Attack Power 1500.
A cobra was flying on the field in the Electric Girls' game, but now it has coiled around the car, and a seven-headed dragon is roaring beside the car.

Rin frowned.

Just now, she was directly attacked by an Electric King Cobra with an attack power of 1000 and an Electric Yellowfin Tuna with an attack power of 800, and now she only has 2200 points left.

"Electric Seven-Headed Dragon, direct attack!"

Seven orange-yellow lightning bolts struck wildly around Rin, who, with her amazing driving skills, swerved left and right, barely managing to escape unscathed from the lightning strikes.

Rin, LP: 2200→700.
Now she only has 700 left!
Rin frowned.

"The way you're frowning, it must mean you can't solve this anytime soon, right?" The gothic girl chuckled as she looked at Rin's troubled expression and made her own guess. "Wind Witch - Ice Bell dealt me ​​500 damage, and Wind Witch - Winter Bell dealt me ​​another 800 damage. Even if Winter Bell activates its effect a second time next turn, I will only take a total of 2100 damage. If Winter Bell attacks my Cobra, I will only take 1400 HP damage."

and……"

She looked at her hand: "Set one card face down, end the turn."

Rin controlled the car, struggling to navigate a bend, and then pulled out a card.

"Open the overwrite card!"

Gothic girl Hady tilted her head back: "Trap Card, Damage Conversion. This turn, the effect damage I take is halved. During the End Phase of this turn, Special Summon a Ghost Token equal to the amount of effect damage I take to your field in Defense Position."

"Oh no—" Yugo screamed as he looked at the card, clutching his cheeks with both hands. "It's over! Rin's deck can't deal that much battle damage anymore! Her lower-level monsters only have a maximum of 1500 ATK! We can't win through battle damage, and we don't have enough effect damage either!"

Rin looked at the cards in her hand, then said thoughtfully, "You don't trust others, but... when you're dueling, don't you also want my approval and to find other companions?"

"...Uh, that's different?" The girl was also a little confused, unable to explain it clearly.

Rin looked at her and suddenly smiled: "I don't think it's a problem. I'd love to be friends with you. Besides... you're very cute. You don't need to wear so many decorations to look good."

"Eh eh eh eh eh???" The gothic girl screamed twice, her face instantly turning red.

Just as Rin said, she doesn't actually look fierce at all, but in order to protect her sisters, she has to look scary enough.

"Duel! Focus your attention on the duel!"

Although she is a duelist who fights against walls, the Gothic Girl persists.

"After the WRGP tournament ends, there should be a lot of advertisers looking for people to shoot commercials, right?" Rin said thoughtfully. "Maybe Yugo can become a big star too."

?

The goth girl didn't quite understand her thought process.

"Oh—by the way, what's your name? My name is Rin."

"Lily..." The girl was a little embarrassed because her name wasn't imposing at all.

"Is that so? Then I'm going to attack."

"Oh! They're here, but what can you do about it—"

"use this."

Suddenly, Rin held up a card.

As soon as it was raised, countless people gasped in surprise, causing Kurosaki Hayabusa to instinctively widen his eyes again and stare at the duel in disbelief.

Magic Card Fusion!
"Fusion?!" Lily exclaimed in shock, "Why is there fusion—"

“Of course it was a gift from a friend.” Rin looked at Fusion.

In fact, Rin had started learning fusion techniques since the last time Serena and Ruri were stranded in the Synchro Dimension and hunted down, but she had never actually used it before.

Now, however, it seems like a good opportunity.

"Spell Card Fusion: Fusion of Wind Witch Winterbell on the field and Wind Witch Snowbell in my hand!"

"The beautiful and gentle wind brings the power of another dimension, transforming it into a sparkling gem for me, a symbol of friendship."

Fusion Summon!

Show yourself.

Level 8, Wind Witch - Crystal Bell!

A huge, transparent white crystal fell from the sky. Then, the crystal slowly drifted away, and a graceful figure swayed its body, making a crisp sound.

"Fusion?" Hiiragi Yuzu clasped her hands together, looking at the girl who looked exactly like her and seemed to be "herself" in this world, and used fusion, murmuring softly.

"Fusion!" Yuya Sakaki was startled.

"Wow!!! We did it!" In the Tsukigami Wind Team's preparation area, Serena and Ruri first high-fived in celebration, then excitedly hugged each other, while Yugo cheered on the side.

A brand new Wind Witch!
Wind Witch - Crystal Bell, Level 8, Wind Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2800.
"Wow, it's crystal!" Tiera looked at the monster in surprise. "Serena has finally done something good."

Hikaru Amagi nodded in agreement.

“Attack power 2800…” Lily was somewhat surprised.

This attack power is beyond what ordinary duelists can obtain; at least her entire Electric family doesn't have this level of attack power.

but……

"I still have 2700 HP. Although your attack power is high, even if the King Cobra is destroyed in battle, I will only take 1800 damage and still have 900 HP left. It's a pity. Even if I don't activate the trap card, it seems you can't bring my HP to zero."

“That’s not necessarily true,” Rin suddenly whispered in Lily’s ear.

"Huh?" Lily jumped in surprise, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and swerved to the side. "Wh-what? At this point, you can't even use Winterbell's life-reduction effect, and you still want to win?"

"Windwitch - Crystal Bell: You can target 1 monster in your or your opponent's Graveyard. Until the End Phase, this card is treated as a card with the same name as that monster. It gains the same effect."

"Huh? Oh... that's nothing. Even if it's the effect of Winter Bell, choosing a Winter Bell in the graveyard to activate the effect and deal damage equal to level x200, it would only deal 1400 damage. My damage conversion would reduce it to 700, and I still have 200 health points... that was close, I almost lost. Luckily, I used damage conversion."

"No, it's over."

"?"

"Have you forgotten... your monster..."

My monster—

ah!!
She woke up with a start.

Electric yellowfin tuna can be attacked directly!
2800 direct attack!

She only has 2700 health points!
When she came to her senses, she could already hear voices like "Boss!" "Boss, be careful!" "Think of something quickly!"

There's no way to do it!
"How did you manage to fuse with it, and how...?"

More than the fear of failure, she wanted to know how the other person maintained that mindset.

Rin smiled and gently ruffled the hair behind her ear to ease the discomfort of her helmet-covered hair: "Wouldn't it be heartbreaking if we only hurt each other? If we're going to cooperate and integrate, then we need to make the other person believe in us or show ourselves to be like them..."

This is how our predecessors taught us.

Lily blinked her bewildered eyes, but gradually seemed to understand.

"Thus, Crystal Bell gains the card name and effect of Electric Yellowfin Tuna, and attacks the opponent directly!"

Within the swaying body of the Crystal Witch, a yellow tuna crackled with electricity, as if holy light had descended from the heavens, and the Crystal Bell began its attack.

Lily's eyes reflected Rin's image. In her eyes, Rin, bathed in light, was not a witch at all, but a saint!

"Waaaaah—" Team 5DS, Kro covered his eyes with his forearm and couldn't help but sob softly.

"Tch, idiot, you can be stupid too." Jack finally found an opportunity to retaliate against Crow.

"Mind your own business! The child has finally grown up, waaaah—"

Crying with joy.

Hikaru Amagi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up, he saw Yusei also letting out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, then smiled knowingly at him.

Although he didn't see Serena, Rin's final actions put him at ease.

Although Serena is straightforward, she's not really brainless. With a non-blood-related sister of the same age and appearance, who is theoretically "from the same father," by her side and is performing so amazingly, she can't possibly cause trouble. So it's quite something to look forward to.

That way, he won't have to worry about the development here in the Synchro World. He can go and fight a Gladiator Beast first, and then...

Second challenge to the Imprint Dimension!
