Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 654 It Was Not a Coincidence, Nor Fate (4K Views, Seeking Monthly Tickets~~)

After the duel ended, the High Priest slowly descended to his seat, and his many students rushed over anxiously to check on his condition.

It waved its hand to indicate that there was no need to worry, and then looked at its own hands.

That forbidden power was indeed absorbed.

It was naturally happy, but as its power disappeared, the powerful energy within its body gradually dissipated, and the cards containing extraordinary, future-oriented power also gradually vanished.

As a dueling warrior, losing that immense power, even if one is fortunate, still leaves one with a sense of loss and unease.

After all, with those extra powers, it can do things that ordinary elves cannot.

For example, this camp was gradually built and constructed by it through its own abilities. The reason why those mixed elves dare not attack this place is because the entire "outpost" is a manifestation of its power.

It bears the brunt of the infection for all the elves here, and naturally, it also absorbs power for them.

And now...

"Gulp... Ugh... Cough cough cough..."

"Albus, are you alright?"

Albus's body slowly returned from dragon form to human form. However, even after returning to human form, he still couldn't help but collapse to the ground, coughing wildly and even spitting blood.

Seeing this, Acrisia rushed over and tried frantically to help, but had no idea what to do.

"Its condition is probably that it gained too much power that didn't belong to it in a short period of time, and its body couldn't handle it," Tiera said casually.

Immediately afterwards, she looked at Captain Bai Jing, who bowed and then stepped forward, preparing to change her form to take on some of Albus's pain.

Unexpectedly, when Acycia's hand touched Albus's back, Albus's body began to emit golden light again.

With a twist, Albus began to change, transforming into a completely new form—a dragon that was no longer the shimmering silver dragon it once was, but instead appeared savage and frenzied!

"Hmm?" Tierra asked, puzzled.

It's changed? It looks different now?
"What happened?" "Is it infected?"

The high priest crossed his arms, his face solemn, ready to fight back, but to his surprise, the beast-like dragon, after struggling for a while, reverted to Albus's original form.

Moreover, the pain and torment seemed to have dissipated from its body, and it returned to normal.

The high priest and the demon eye exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other.

This is……

Albus looked down at his hands, utterly shocked, while Acyria beside him let out a long sigh of relief.

"Scaraburoraptor".

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, and the elves looked at Amagi Hikari.

"The fusion conditions are Albus's Fallen and a monster of level 8 or higher. Congratulations, Albus, you have grown."

"I...I can actually still do that?" It opened its mouth wide.

"Clearly, you have more potential than you realize."

After the little incident ended, the elves in the rebel base finally felt completely at ease and began to chat with Hikaru Amagi—of course, it was just a chat, because of the terrible state of this dimension, they could only briefly talk about their current situation and then praise Hikaru Amagi.

Hikaru Amagi's duel truly allowed these spirits, living in hell, to see something completely different.

Naturally, they also need to make their current decisions—to challenge this chaotic world and try to restore it to its original state.

but……

Is this easier said than done?
They don't even know what to do.

"Don't worry." Tiera, seeing the elves looking worried and unsure of what to do, stretched out her arms and chuckled.

Amagi Hikaru raised his eyebrows.

"Your God can now guide you through your confusion!"

"?"

A group of elves looked at her, puzzled.

It's just Midrash, isn't it? It is indeed a very high-level elf, but...

The high priest, a man of great knowledge who had once been infected by the red light, looked closely and suddenly realized something was wrong: "You, you are not an elf!?"

Not an elf—

"Hehehehe," Tiera chuckled with immense pleasure.

Without saying a word, she stretched out her arms, and behind her, a huge machine began to slowly emerge.

Hidden shell killer: Materialism!
As soon as this enormous machine appeared, a distinct "double image" appeared in the sky. At the same time, four colors of sky existed simultaneously, like four transparent sheets of different colors overlapping each other. Then, in the eyes of the elves, everything around them changed as a result!

"This, this, this, this!!!" The high priest was so surprised that he almost fell to the ground after standing up.

It was so incredibly easy...

The sky, which they had resisted for a long time but could not change at all, suddenly began to change.

Hikari actually brought a solution!

but--

The next second, Tiera frowned, and the huge mechanical figure gradually dissipated, and the world slowly returned to its original state.

The high priest lowered his hands limply.

Is this not acceptable either...?

No, that's not right.

Things have changed!
Isn't this exactly the "change" that Lord Hikari brought about?

But then it realized it was wrong.

“I see, the problem is quite serious…” Tiera stroked her chin and muttered to herself for a while. She pulled Amagi Hikaru aside and discussed it with him in a low voice for a while. After discussing it, she explained it to the elves here.

She first told the elves that she was a star goddess named "Tiera," in charge of machinery and reincarnation.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that Tiera's physical "materialism" possesses the ability to calculate world data, thereby analyzing and even repairing it.

When Tiera revealed her abilities, the elves present were quite excited, and many even embraced and wept.

But after the good news, the bad news followed.

First of all, this isn't the first time Tiera has done something like this.

Even now, after her rebirth, she has already gone through two or three cycles of reconstruction.

The first time was when the Fusion Army corrected the cycle of that dimension at one of its dimensional strongholds. The second time was when the Magic Toy Dimension was modified. The third time was after activating Materialism, when, as agreed, they went to the Vampire Empire Dimension, placed Materialism there, and then performed calculations and deductions to repair the dimension.

This is her personal ability, and also her "achievement" and "miracle" in this new era.

However, this ability cannot be used casually.

Even the creator god has limitations.

To modify the underlying logic of a world, there is a crucial point: you must at least gain the approval of the vast majority of life in that world—otherwise, she and Sophia wouldn't have been attacked by the Creator when they tried to rebuild the world.

Similarly, altering dimensions also requires the approval of life in that world.

only……

"Are we in the minority?" Demon Eye gave a bitter smile.

In this chaotic four-dimensional world, elves like them, who do not excessively pursue power but only want to retain their rationality, are a minority, perhaps even less than one-tenth. Under such circumstances, Tiera naturally cannot make changes at will.

"That's even better, Big Sister!" Aklicia's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then let's go save everyone first!"

Demon Eyes took a deep breath.

Yes—that's right.

In that case, let's start by saving our crazy fellow citizens in this world one by one.

"In addition, there is another problem," Amagi Hikaru added at this point.

"Huh, what is it?" They were prepared to face even more severe challenges.

“Materialism was only temporarily present before,” Hikaru Amagi said, pointing to the side. “Now, Materialism is basically based in the Vampire Empire, maintaining the stability of that dimension.”

Hikaru Amagi gave them a general explanation.

Upon hearing that the vampire empire was also a dimension bombarded by the red light, only that its territory was not as severely damaged, but was therefore shrinking, the elves felt both sad and regretful.

The sadness lies in the fact that their dimension is not the only one in the world facing a crisis, and the pity lies in...

His Excellency Hikari's meaning is quite clear.

The Vampire Empire had already prepared to cooperate with Hikari, so it's only natural that materialism would repair their dimensions now.

Although Hikaru Amagi really wanted to help this dimension, and Tiera was also very curious about it, the previous work was not yet finished. Changing the work rashly might lead to unreasonable results. Moreover, if they abandoned their previous allies because the next dimension was more advantageous to them, what was the point of talking about integration?
Of course, Tiera also gave other advice, namely that they could take the opportunity to visit the Vampire Empire, whether to form an alliance or to learn from its experience, both would be beneficial.

Although the vampire empire's dimension is far superior to theirs, the vampire empire's "self-healing" occurred much earlier than theirs.

The high priest would naturally not object to this.

For them, who have no hope, seeing even a glimmer of hope is the driving force to move forward. What's more, this is not just "a glimmer of hope," but a real and tangible result right in front of them!

As for alliances and discussions, those can be put off until later.

Of course, there are still many problems.

That is, after the pollution in the bodies of the high priests is removed, their strongholds will need to be re-defended. Black Flame volunteered to lead a team of elf companions to guard the area.

Although it is usually taciturn, it is actually a very perceptive person.

As Hikari's team grew larger and larger, many of them gradually developed a sense of "anxiety," which can be simply put as—when can I make my appearance and how can I help Hikari?

As veterans, Flame Sword and Black Flame always get a chance to appear whenever "Absolute Fusion Master" is mentioned, so they naturally wouldn't care about such details. As for the spirits that several lords like White Crystal particularly like to summon, they wouldn't consider these things either.

However, it knew that this atmosphere was still gradually rising in the Great Cosmic Workshop.

The case of the one-eyed man in the previous incident is unlikely to be an isolated incident.

Those who can endure loneliness like Gaia and A-Assault Core are either good-natured or elderly elves like Mud Dragon King.

Or, they are beings like the Earthbound Gods and the Three Illusionary Demons, who are overjoyed as long as they have a place to live.

Can--

In the Great Universe Workshop, there are also many elves who have gradually gathered on various planets over time.

These elves wouldn't be like that.

Therefore, it believes that as the right-hand man of the ruler, one should share the burden when the ruler is overwhelmed.

Moreover, it knows it too.

Ever since those few escorted their master to escape from this dimension and they saw how disheveled the elves looked, the lower and middle-level elves have started to train harder.

We can't let them wait in vain.

"...Then I'll have to trouble you, Black Flame."

Hikaru Amagi paused for a moment, then laughed.

"My lord, please rest assured, no matter when or where, as long as you call upon me, I will appear by your side!" Black Flame Soaring City Light performed a knightly salute.

This scene deeply moved Friedrich.

Despite being a mage elf, she was more of a "knight," and she greatly admired such a loyal knight.

So, after the duel ended and all matters were discussed, the troops of each side began to make their own preparations.

At the outpost, the High Priest stayed behind, while Demon Eyes assembled a team to travel to the Vampire Dimension to learn superior dimensional knowledge and negotiate and form alliances with them as much as possible. Black Flame recruited team members at the Great Universe Workshop to go to the Imprinted Dimension to defend together and await the counterattack.

When the many elves gathered together at the Great Cosmic Workshop, Amagi Hikaru saw that the entire workshop resembled a real constellation of stars, with countless figures moving back and forth within it.

It was as if the world had transformed into a true "crossroads of the universe".

As they were leaving, the saintess Acycia, who had been teaching them, stopped Albus and Hikaru Amagi. She first bowed to Hikaru Amagi in gratitude and then explained her thoughts.

As one of the smaller spirits in the stronghold, although it was quite talented, it ultimately lacked the immediate combat power of the High Priest and the Demon Eye. As a result, it was always unable to make up its mind to make its own choice and could only try to ease the atmosphere during the arguments between its teacher and sister.

Now, Hikari has brought them a brand new opportunity, making them finally realize that they cannot stand still.

Therefore, it was determined to help Hikari and Albus.

It took out one of its own "original body" cards, one of "Apostles of the Heavens" cards, and even cards about its teaching experiences, and entrusted them all to Amagi Hikaru.

Because their dimension is still unsafe and there are countless challenges ahead, it cannot leave directly to follow Amagi Hikaru, but it hopes that its cards can help Amagi Hikaru.

"Huh? A card that can't be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck after activation? What's the use of giving you a card like that?" Tiera looked at the two cards, somewhat speechless.

"That's not necessarily true. Tiera, Teaching, or rather these two cards, are really very suitable for fusion."

"Huh? How do you melt this?" Tiera asked, puzzled.

Hikaru Amagi smiled and told her that he would perform for her later.

Finally, he completed his preparations and plans for the future in the Elf World in his project plan.

A brand is not something that can be resolved in a short time or in one or two times.

but……

"Tiera, do you believe in fate?"

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" Tiera suddenly asked. "Didn't you say this many times during your duel with that Edphinus?"

Know them like the back of your hand.

"The encounter between Albus and Exeria on the card is quite beautiful, isn't it?" Hikaru Amagi took out a card depicting the encounter, and Tiera blinked.

The illustrations on the cards depict events that actually happened in a certain era.

In other words, this is how the original "Descendant of Albus" met the saintess Acyria who taught him.

Now, she knows this holy maiden who teaches and Albus's descendant...

Such a coincidence?
Hikaru Amagi laughed twice.

The world of branding gave him some unique ideas.

Was Albus's encounter with Exeria a coincidence or destiny?
Or is it an inevitable consequence of changing times?

Was his acquaintance with Tiera accidental or fate?
If—instead of creating Midrash, he had created some other card first, would he have ever encountered Tiera again?

He suddenly got an answer to this question today.

Crises are a constant in this world. If you want to solve these problems, you'll eventually have to find someone who excels at handling them...

Perhaps my meeting and acquaintance with Tiera was not a coincidence or an accident, but an inevitable outcome of the passage of time.

Even if it wasn't that time, there would be other times. We will always meet and get to know each other.

Conversely...

He closed his eyes and recalled the inevitable final battle between Tiera and all living beings in the DT dimension.

It's not fate.

Rather, it is the inevitable outcome that one will encounter when embarking on the path forward.
