Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 659 The Demonstration of Alchemy (4K, please vote with monthly tickets~)

During Amagi Hikaru's turn, he looked at his hand and then at his opponent.

This outfit and this dueling disk most likely belong to that person.

Kurosaki Falcon.

He is the most charismatic man in the early stages of the Yu-Gi-Oh! A5 series, and also the main character in one of the coolest duels in the original work.

Amagi had previously compiled statistics on the duelists and knew that someone had used the Rapid Raptor deck, so his appearance in this dimension was not surprising.

He flipped through his cards and revealed one: "I set the Pendulum Scale of the Armored Warrior - Tungstenfire with a scale of 8."

With a rumble, a huge red motorcycle appeared beside Amagi Hikaru, and then a pillar of spiritual light enveloped it and rose up, with an 8 engraved on the pillar.

The mysterious figure—or rather, Kurosaki Hayabusa—squinted as he watched this scene.

Since he already knew that Hikaru Amagi was using a shell deck, he was not surprised by the appearance of the pendulum, but he was more vigilant.

A duelist from a fused dimension, how did he manage to bring the power of other dimensions under his control so quickly?
and.

Refined monster.

This was a card that the man had never used before.

Sure enough, this guy is hiding many secrets!
"No action? Fine—I'll set the Pendulum scale for the Rare Armor Warrior: Bismuth Witch with a scale of 8."

This time, it's a tiny purple-haired figure riding a green motorcycle.

Two 8s shone brightly on the field of Amagi Light, illuminating the dark neighborhood.

"What?" Kurosaki Hayabusa looked at this scene and was momentarily stunned.

Are all the cards on both sides at Pendulum Scale 8?

Although he had never used a pendulum before, he had seen pendulum summoning many times. He knew very well that the monsters that could be Special Summoned by pendulum summoning were the numbers in the middle of the left and right scales. But what could be summoned if both scales were 8?
You can't even Special Summon a Level 8 monster!
Seeing his surprised expression, Amagi Hikaru smiled and pointed to Tungstenfire next to him: "Activate Tungstenfire's Pendulum effect. Once per turn, target 1 face-up card on your field other than this card. Destroy that card, and set 1 'Refurbished' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your field."

I destroyed the Bismuth Witch, and set a Continuous Trap Card, "Alteration Union," from my deck.

bang——

The Bismuth Witch instantly shattered into pure alchemical materials, flying to the top of Amagi Hikaru's Extra Deck, shimmering faintly, where a Trap Card was also placed.

"The effect of Bismuth Witch can only be activated if this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect. During the End Phase of this turn, add 1 Alchemy Monster from your Deck to your hand."

“…I see.” Kurosaki Hayabusa narrowed his eyes, understanding slightly.

He also had a slight understanding of the pendulum tactic, which is a method of Special Summoning monsters from the hand and the Extra Deck at once by using the pendulum's scale.

Conversely, as long as there are enough monsters in the Extra Deck, then continuous sustain and operation are possible.

How could a duelist who has merged dimensions have come up with this method of exploitation so quickly?

"I will set up Hybrid Warrior Mercury Witch on the field with scale 1—its pendulum effect is the same as other Hybrid Monsters."

Are they all the same?!

Kurosaki Hayabusa's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Activate its effect, destroy Tungstenfire, and remove the second Armor Union from the deck."

The tungsten fire shattered and transformed into the raw material of tungsten, shining in Amagi Hikaru's extra deck.

"The effect of Magician's Twin Souls in my hand." Amagi Hikaru revealed a card and showed it to Kurosaki Shun.

This card was a gift from the Dark Magician Girl when Amagi Hikaru visited the Magician's Domain. It was a perfect match for the Refinement set, so Amagi Hikaru used it in this deck.

"This card can be Special Summoned from your hand by sending 1 Level 6 or higher Spellcaster monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. I Special Summon Dark Magician from my Deck to the Graveyard."

A pair of blue, ghostly magicians appeared on Amagi Hikaru's field.

"Dark Magician...a legendary monster?" Kurosaki Hayabusa felt a slight pressure.

In their dimension, there also exists a Dark Magician. Moreover, in their dimension, the Dark Magician is also a legendary monster. Therefore, upon seeing this familiar card, he felt genuine pressure.

"Activate the effect of Magician's Twin Souls. You can activate this effect by sending up to two Spell/Trap Cards from your hand or field to the Graveyard. Draw the number of cards sent to the Graveyard."

I sent two copies of the Armor Refining Union to the graveyard and drew two cards.

Ok?
What does it mean?
Kurosaki Hayabusa was a little confused.

I finally managed to cover all the card searches, only to have it sent to the cemetery again?
Is it just a way to replenish your hand cards?

"At this moment, the effect of the Refined Union card activates. This effect can be activated if this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard. Add 1 Refined Union monster from your Deck to your hand. Since there are two cards sent to the Graveyard, you can add two Refined Union monsters to your hand."

"Scale 1: Armored Warrior - Jin Chi; Scale 8: Alchemist Warrior - Steel Man!"

Kurosaki Hayabusa's heart sank.

It turns out it's always been the same tactic!

By destroying your own cards, you can search for cards, then destroy them again, search again, and stack up more extra monsters.

"I've seen those duel disks before in dimensional exchange duels. Back then, my opponent was a friend named Kunikawa Haruto. So... you must be a human from the Xyz Dimension, right?"

"Hmph..." Kurosaki Hayabusa snorted coldly when he heard that the other party had noticed his origin. "So what if it has?"

"I guess you're looking for revenge against the representative of the Fusion Dimension after the Fusion Army incident, or to interrogate someone. I'm very sorry for the Fusion Army's invasion of your world—it was our failure to stop it in time that caused this disaster."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Kurosaki Hayabusa's anger flared upon hearing this, and he retorted, "I don't need your fake concern!"

"I'm telling the truth—" Hikaru Amagi narrowed his eyes and said, "I am a Fusion Duelist who pursues the ultimate, I am a Fusionist of Dimensions, I am a duelist who insists that fusion is the noblest way of summoning, so naturally, I must sever ties with those who disgrace the name of fusion, and even crush them—"

"Therefore, I personally fought against the Fusion Army and even saved people from your dimension. Later, I even sent a letter to your world. Didn't you receive it?"

These words made Kurosaki Shun hesitate for a moment, but then he put the guy out of his mind. He absolutely did not believe that someone who merged dimensions could have any good intentions.

Seeing this, Amagi Hikaru shook his head helplessly.

"Fine, then let me demonstrate my principles of fusion."

"Set the scale to 1, Armored Warrior Gold Rush, destroy Mercury Witch, and remove Armored Fusion from the deck."

Fusion!

Are they here?
Kurosaki Hayabusa, get ready.

"Next, Mercury Witch's effect can only be activated if this card is destroyed by battle or card effect. Add any Refined Pendulum Monster other than Refined Warrior Mercury Witch from your Extra Deck to your hand. This turn, you cannot activate the effects of cards that you add to your hand with this effect, or the effects of those cards with the same name, in your Pendulum Zone. I add Bismuth Witch to my hand."

I see--

Kurosaki Hayabusa suddenly realized.

The Bismuth Witch is level 1, and since the Pendulum Scale is not 0, it is impossible to summon it from the Extra Zone using Pendulum. However, this effect can be used to recycle the Bismuth Witch, making it usable again next turn.

As expected, he is the strongest Fusion Master, far superior to those duelists; he is a formidable opponent.

"Next, set the Silver Bird to the Pendulum Scale, then destroy the Magician's Twin Souls and overwrite the deck's Reforged Fusion."

With preparations nearly complete, Hikaru Amagi checked his cards and extras, then looked up at Hayato Kurosaki and said, "Do you know that alchemy, in essence, is fusion? It involves pulverizing, recreating, purifying, and sublimating to create something step by step. And this is the most basic principle of fusion in our fusion dimension."

"I have no interest in your dimension's affairs!!!" Kurosaki Hayato roared angrily at Amagi Hikaru, interrupting him. At this moment, he had lost all interest in these so-called summons and souls.

Hikaru Amagi sighed, knowing that nothing she said could dissuade him, so she continued, "Then—perform a pendulum summon!"

"My scale is 1 to 8, so I can perform Pendulum Summons of monsters from Level 2 to Level 7! If it is a face-up Pendulum Monster from the Extra Deck, I can Pendulum Summon it directly from the Extra Deck!"

"Come on—prepare for alchemy!"

"Special Summon Level 7 Armored Warrior Tungstenfire from the Extra Deck; Level 7 Mixed Armored Warrior Mercury Wizard! Then, Normal Summon Rare Armored Warrior Bismuth Wizard!"

"Activate the face-down card, Fusion Summon! Use the Mercury Witch and Bismuth Witch on the field as fusion materials! Fusion Summon!"

"The legendary metal—the Armored Warrior, Orichalcum Berserker!"

Chi-

A massive cloud of steam rose behind Amagi Hikaru, and then two bright crimson axes slowly took shape in the thick fog, and a burly warrior suddenly appeared!

The two materials surrounding the alchemical artifact were then returned to the extra area, where they were placed as indicated on the surface.

Armored Warrior - Orichalcum Berserker, Level 8, Fire Attribute, Psychic Race, Attack Power 2800.
"Attack power 2800?" Kurosaki Hayabusa frowned.

This attack power is incomparable to that of the Gem Knight or the Mech Knight. Isn't this monster his trump card?
"The effect of 'Fusion in the Graveyard' can only be activated if this card is in the Graveyard. Shuffle this card from the Graveyard into your Deck. Then, draw 1 card from your Deck."

Amagi Hikaru quickly drew a card, glanced at it, and raised an eyebrow.

"Cover a card and end the turn."

"At that moment, the effect of the Bismuth Witch began to take effect. I added the Level 3 Normal Pendulum Monster, Armored Warrior Silverbird, from my deck to my hand."

Then, he crossed his arms, looked at the other person, and said, "Okay, it's your turn."

"Hmph, is that all?"

Kurosaki Hayabusa snorted coldly, placed his right hand on the top of the deck, and then suddenly drew a card.

The card erupted into a powerful storm as he drew it, and his momentum surged accordingly. Not far away, many birds were startled by his actions and quickly flew away from the eaves, telephone poles, and other places.

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Let me show you our steel will and iron spirit!"

His movements startled countless birds, and also some other people.

That is, the queues near this location.

That's right—it's Team Moonwind Birds.

Serena and her group noticed the birds flying in the distance. Ruri seemed thoughtful, while Serena's eyes lit up, and she pointed into the distance: "It's a duel! Do you all want to go and join the fun?"

Rin listened and pondered for a moment.

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to show Liuli and Serena around the nearby neighborhoods. To be honest, she had never lived in the Upper East Side before, so it would be quite interesting to have the chance to wander around.

However, since there's a duel to watch, it seems worth a try.

"What do you think, Liuli?"

Liuli nodded silently.

"Okay!! It's decided then!"

A group of girls left the base happily.

You ask Yuwu—

This time it wasn't really them who tricked Yugo. Yugo had gone out to test the performance of the D-Wheel a while ago, but Rin thought he probably just wanted to enjoy the feeling of driving around the track in the upper city.

In short, the group quickly strolled toward the duel, not in a hurry.

In fact, similar things often happen in the world of duelists. Whether they are just passing by or have come specifically to watch a duel, whenever someone discovers a duel, others will want to join in.

After all, a duel is not only a competition, a clash, and a contest of souls, but also a very exciting and unique performance for ordinary people.

Therefore, any duel will inevitably attract some viewers.

No matter how well hidden a place is, if you don't act quickly, it will be discovered sooner or later.

Kurosaki Shun had always been aware of this, but Amagi Hikaru's first round was so drawn out and long that it was impossible to keep the duel at a reasonable pace.

Even more surprisingly, Hikaru Amagi deliberately slowed down his actions and tried to strike up a conversation with him during the duel, seemingly waiting for something.

Waiting for rescue?
Or something else?
Those guys who merge dimensions are all scheming and plotting!

It must be resolved quickly!

"Normal Summon Level 4 Raiding Raptor - Exorcising Shrike, activate its effect, Special Summon Level 4 Raiding Raptor - Tribute Shrike from your hand." (Note 1)

"Come on, Level 4, Rush Raptor - Tribute Shrike!"

Two mechanical birds flew out of his hands.

"The effect of Tribute Shrike can be activated during your Main Phase when this card is Normal or Special Summoned. Send 1 Rush Raptor card from your Deck to the Graveyard. I sent Rush Raptor-Simulated Shrike from my Deck to the Graveyard."

Then, during your Main Phase, activate the effect of Raiding Raptor - Simulated Shrike. This card is sent to the Graveyard. Banish this card from your Graveyard to activate this effect. Add 1 Raiding Raptor card other than Raiding Raptor - Simulated Shrike from your Deck to your hand.

"I'll add 'Rapid Raptor - Bird's Nest' to my hand, and then activate it!"

"Continuous Magic Card, Raptor of the Raptors - Nest!"

"Then I'll launch a chain reaction."

"?!"

"Quick-Play Spell Card - Reforged Fusion!"

Fusion?

Kurosaki Hayato thought Amagi Hikaru was going to use some strange trap or wind, but to his surprise, Amagi Hikaru opened a fusion card!
"The fusion condition is a Metal Monster and a Normal Monster. I'm fusing Metal Warrior Orichalcum Berserker with Metal Warrior Tungstenfire, a Normal Monster on the field!"

"Begin preparations for alchemy—"

"Come, all-purpose alchemical material that can dissolve everything!"

"Level 1, Reforged Warrior - Alchemist of Ten Thousand Melts!"

Crimson flames ignited the sky, making the place even more conspicuous. Wan Rong, holding an alchemical staff, strode onto the stage with great spirit.

Because of the previous accident, Wan Rong has been working extra hard lately to create new fusion materials for Tiancheng Guang. That's why he has been frequently appearing outside these past few days, wanting Tiancheng Guang to use "Refining Equipment".

Hikaru Amagi naturally wouldn't refuse.

Reforged Warrior - Melting Alchemist, Level 1, Fire Attribute, Psychic Race, Attack 0, Defense 0, Defense Position.

"Level 1, attack and defense are both 0?!"

Kurosaki Hayabusa became alert.

That's a really weird number!

It's likely that this will have some rather terrible consequences.

"The effect of Orichalcum Berserker. If this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, you can target 1 card on the field; destroy that card. I destroy your nest."

"Hmph—" Falcon snorted coldly, only to see a burly man wielding two axes suddenly appear next to the Continuous Spell on his field. The two axes struck the Spell Card, instantly shattering it into pieces.

"Then, I will use a level 4 Tribute Shrike and a level 4 Expulsion Shrike to build an Xyz Network!!"

Two mechanical birds took flight, and a jet-black vortex began to spin wildly in front of him. In no time, the two mechanical birds transformed into golden energy balls, circling around a mechanical owl.

"Tier 4, Swift Raptor - Powerful Wood Owl!"

Swift Raptor - Martial Forest Owl, Tier 4, Dark Attribute, Bird/Beast Race, Defense 2000.
“Then, I’ll activate the effect of the Alchemist of All Things.” Hikaru Amagi casually snapped his fingers. “All Things are unique alchemical materials that can dissolve everything, including the opponent’s—once per turn, the opponent can target 1 Effect Monster on the field and equip that Effect Monster to this card as an Equip Card!”

"By the way, even if your chain card's effect causes the monster to leave the field, your monster will also be sent to the graveyard."

"..." Veins bulged on Kurosaki Hayabusa's forehead. After a while, he finally calmed down. "You bastard—"

　4K4K, I'll write the rest later. I haven't been feeling well lately, and I don't think I can finish it all at once. Please don't wait, I'll read it again tomorrow after I've had a good night's sleep.

　　Oh, and don't forget the monthly pass chapters and the monthly pass giveaway!
　　Note 1: In the original game, the Destroyer Shrike could only pull Destroyer Shrikes, but this has been changed. Except for the R4's Winged Falcon, all others are treated according to the OCG effects.
