Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 672 Long-Awaited (4K)

For some reason, starting from the new round of duels, the players participating in WRGP began to intentionally or unintentionally include some "targeting cards" in their duels with their opponents.

In order to win, duelists always come up with new methods, and it is precisely because of this that the audience sees a more "targeted" duel that is different from the previous round.

For example, restricting levels, restricting special summons, or even temporarily blocking the "Synchro Summon" tactic.

Tactics like Synchro Summoning are particularly useful in this dimension where Synchro Summoning is the main focus. However, it is precisely because of this that in this round of the duel, Aki Izayoi used a tactic of quick Synchro Summoning with Quick-Play Spells, Speed ​​5 effects, and Trap Card effects to bypass the "Synchro Lockdown" tactic and complete the Synchro Summoning. This allowed many viewers to regain their trust in 5DS.

On one hand, being targeted for Synchro Summoning but still managing to Synchro Summon perfectly aligns with the 5DS team's philosophy; on the other hand, Aki Izayoi is beautiful.

Appearance is also an important "statistic" for gaining trust. In the current dueling tournament, any stat is quite important.

Hikaru Amagi can understand the counter-tactics.

To be precise, dueling is a game of targeting and counter-targeting. Even Hikaru Amagi would adjust his deck when facing different opponents. For example, when he dueled with Kro, he urgently changed his deck so that he wouldn't be unable to play any cards.

This is, in fact, also "targeted".

But in reality, this is not a simple matter.

Because any duelist will think of this, just like preparing "Holy Lance" against banished decks or considering using "DD Raven" against decks that desperately need graveyard resources. Any duelist will think of this to some extent.

In reality, such scenes are rare in formal dueling tournaments. At most, they are like those between Paradox and Tiera, where decks win by using "Skill Drain" to "break everyone's legs and then rely on monsters that are better at primitive tactics."

The reason is both the "blooming of a hundred flowers" in this world and the "regret" of this world.

Because the decks in the dueling tournament are too varied!

In the world before Amagi Hikaru arrived, there were many "mainstream decks" in both shop tournaments and major tournaments. Generally, regardless of the deck, as long as a duelist was participating, they would prepare some reserve cards in their deck.

For example, if other decks are graveyard-focused decks like Tears of the Gods, then naturally many duelists will choose to include a lot of cards like "Abyssal Beast" and "Dimensional Attractor" in their duels.

But things are different in this world.

Powerful cards often only exist in the hands of certain individuals, and even if you have a counter card, it may not necessarily be effective against any specific target.

Even if you prepare some cards that target specific duelists, they may not be effective against your opponent. Putting them into your deck will only negatively impact your own deck.

This is why duelists in this world are so diverse, why all sorts of decks can exist, and why duelists in this world find it difficult to assemble an invincible deck with "multi-axis interaction and a huge final board presence."

Duelists like Yusei Fudo and Yuya Sakaki, who have a solid main focus and a wide variety of endgame characters, are actually relatively rare. Most people stick to one series or one race to the end.

In addition, because this world has a hidden value called "Duel Power" in addition to deck building, powerful duelists can draw key cards at crucial moments, and simply targeting them is not easy to continue. So unless it is as dark as Darkness, or you simply kick everyone to death like Yugi Muto, self-isolation decks are very rare.

Of course, even so, due to the leak of deck information, the win rates of many teams have fluctuated significantly. Some teams that were previously not very prominent have slowly begun to emerge due to the new round of changes in duel strategies.

One of the teams that caught Amagi Hikaru's attention was "Team Sun," a team that used low-level monsters and counter cards for specific duels. Because they used relatively weak monster decks, they won several duels and became famous overnight.

Hikaru Amagi specifically went to watch the team's match videos and, after seeing the duelists and duels, confirmed his guess.

That's right, this team is indeed the "Sun Team" from the original "5DS". Their real trump card is not these low-level monsters, but - Gudu.

The Sleeping Giant, Gudu. In the original work, he is described as a card comparable to a god.

This card caused considerable trouble for Team 5DS after it appeared, but... that was originally the case.

If this team were to appear in this world, Hikaru Amagi would only need to remind her teammates, and the Sleeping Giant would not be able to make an appearance.

Moreover, something even more meaningful to him happened than the competition results—

Master Daitokuji concluded his investigation and returned to the Great Cosmic Workshop!
He looked travel-worn, his once-sleek robes now tattered and stained with red marks, as if he had been to some dimension or encountered some kind of crisis.

But no matter what happened, now that Master Daitokuji has returned, his student naturally has to help and exchange information.

When Daitoku-ji learned that the "Selfless Painting School" itself was a huge "spirit," he was clearly a little dazed, but then he suddenly realized what was going on.

It had previously visited the Forgetful Painting School. When it went to that dimension in the body of an elf, it experienced a fear and oppression different from that experienced by humans. But upon closer examination, it was not so fearful, but rather a sense of bewilderment and confusion.

Now that he knew this, Daitokuji's mind was suddenly opened, and he immediately understood how to embrace the Selflessness School and how to truly have a conversation with "Azathoth" in the dimension of the Selflessness School.

However, it's still a bit difficult at the moment.

If it were carrying the Philosopher's Stone, it could still do it, but it has already passed the Philosopher's Stone to Hikari, so it is still somewhat difficult at the moment.

Fortunately, its friends combined should be able to do the same thing, so there are more options for exploring the "red light".

In addition, Daitokuji also told Amagi Hikaru another piece of news: the "Golden Kingdom" dimension is ready, and Amagi Hikaru can go and take a look if she is interested in the future.

Golden Lord is also an old friend of its, and since they both belong to the alchemy family, it's a good place for Amagi Hikaru to visit. The "red light pollution" there has been completely isolated by Golden Lord, so it's now ready for the Duelist Trial.

Upon hearing this news, Amagi Hikaru was very excited. After all, Golden Lord also possessed a fused monster, which could be very useful in a pinch. Wan Rong quickly slipped over, straining his ears to listen, clearly also looking forward to it.

Gold!
This is its lifelong goal!
Beyond these matters, there was something even more important to Amagi Hikaru, and it was also a question she could ask Daitokuji: the matter that the voice she had heard in "Star Wars Dimension" had mentioned.

He still seems incomplete.

“That’s not how it is, meow~” Daitokuji-sensei shook his head when he heard Amagi Hikaru’s words. “Of course you are complete, Hikari. Being complete doesn’t mean being perfect. That’s normal, meow.”

Just like how Armored Dragons have levels from LV3 to LV10, Flame Winged People need Winged People and Explosive Hot Girls, it's perfectly normal, meow~~

Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. As the strongest alchemist, Master Daitokuji understood the situation as soon as he heard Hikaru Amagi's question.

But this doesn't seem to be a serious problem; it's just a gradual adjustment process, and there's no need to worry about it.

More importantly, Hikaru Amagi himself didn't know how to improve it, and he couldn't figure it out.

Although it was Hikaru Amagi's teacher, by the time Hikaru Amagi completed the Philosopher's Stone, Hikaru Amagi's alchemy abilities were not much different from its.

Amagi Hikaru has already mastered the limits of alchemy, the most excellent alchemy techniques. Compared to other minor details, those miscellaneous "alchemical tricks" no longer affect Amagi Hikaru's self-proclaimed title of "peerless alchemist".

Daitoku-ji Temple may have many clever little skills to teach Amagi Hikaru, but if Amagi Hikaru herself doesn't know how to achieve self-fusion, then there's nothing it can do.

After all, alchemy is about fusion, but fusion is not simply alchemy.

It is actually more curious about other things than these.

It glanced at Tiera, who was sitting to the side, looking rather bored, propping her chin on her hand and watching Amagi Hikaru.

A very, very early time, perhaps even during Amagi Hikaru's first serious "battle"-level duel, his opponent was it—Daitokuji. At that time, it had noticed Tiera's existence, but back then, it only regarded Tiera as "Midras," and Tiera didn't pay much attention to Amagi Hikaru either, so it didn't delve into its disciple's emotional issues.

After all, the two of them seemed very unfamiliar with each other at that time.

At this point, she actually seemed a little impatient.

Wow--

It became interested, and its lips curled into a smile like a cat's.

It has just finished its investigation and needs to wait for its companions to regroup: they have discovered a way to travel to the Red Light Dimension.

Of course, this is just their guess. They have only discovered a passage that is entirely composed of red light, but they have no idea what is on the other side of the passage.

No magic can penetrate the passage directly, so they can no longer investigate in the short term. They can only take turns guarding it and then summon their subordinates to investigate and study it.

In short, the Three Sages still need some time to prepare, which gives them ample time to rest and prepare.

It looks like... we might see something interesting?
Because it learned about the "One God" war from Amagi Hikaru, it also had some guesses and judgments of its own.

It seems that the rest time won't be too boring.

Soon, its conjecture was confirmed—albeit slightly deviated from its expectations.

As the duels progressed, the preliminary rounds were drawing to a close, and in this context, Team 5DS's new match finally arrived.

This is a rather special session.

because……

This match is between "5DS Team" and "Fugetsu Bird"!
Although Team 5DS lost a match, the official WRGP tournament is a multi-player competition, and losing one match does not determine the overall outcome. They are still considered favorites to win the championship, so this duel will still attract a lot of viewers.

For both sides in the duel, this duel was also particularly meaningful.

After all, the members of the two teams know each other. For example, Yugo and Rin idolize Jack from Team 5DS, and Yugo even hopes to duel Jack in an official match every day.

In addition, Serena and Ruri, upon seeing the random results, excitedly gathered together and cheered.

For them, having the opportunity to fight against Hikaru Amagi in a formal duel is something to celebrate.

But this will create a problem.

So who should go?

If you only fight one, then that's it. According to the rules of "continuous duels," you might never encounter the senior you want to challenge.

For example, Yugo really wants to challenge Jack.

Although they learned from Yusei that Jack wasn't there, so they might not be able to challenge Jack today, it would be nice to duel with other seniors if possible.

The four little ones argued for a long time in the team base, but none of them could argue with each other. Except for Liuli, who finally refrained from fully participating in the "duel right" competition, none of the other three wanted to give up.

If time allowed, they might have simply dueled right here to determine the order of battle.

In the end, Ruri couldn't stand it anymore and sighed, suggesting, "Why don't we just tell Guang-ge to have a best-of-three three-on-three duel?"

This is a very good suggestion, and it can be implemented.

The preliminary matches can be played according to the agreement between the two teams. As long as they agree with the "5DS" team, even if the first two rounds are won by one side, the third duel can still take place.

This is a great idea, and WRGP officials also allow duels to be held in this way. In addition, the members of Team 5DS not only need their duel counts to be revealed, but also want to see how their juniors have grown after this period of competition. Therefore, they directly accepted this competition rule.

For this first duel of the opening ceremony, Serena naturally volunteered without hesitation and rushed to her ready position.

Therefore, it is only natural that her opponent is... Hikaru Amagi!

"Huh!?"

"Wow, it's a duel between A-Guang and Serena!"

The people from the merged dimensions noticed the content of the duel almost instantly and became excited.

"Oh! Kaito, look, it's that duel between the guy with the same surname as you, Hikaru!" Yuma noticed this scene immediately and called out to Kaito Amagi.

"Amagi Hikaru's duel... he actually appeared on stage with only one duel left?" Amagi Kaito also noticed the movements of Team 5DS.

With the preliminary rounds nearing their end, the reappearance of the key duelist naturally attracted the attention of many teams. Not only Kaito Amagi, but also other people who follow Team 5DS witnessed this scene.

Three singles duels, best of three, until all are finished?
Why were these competition rules chosen?

Many people are confused, but in any case, both sides of the competition have taken to the field.

Daitoku-ji Temple observed this scene from the shadows.

A duel between one's own disciple and his disciple?

That's interesting too!

"Haha, Serena?" Tiera floated beside Amagi Hikaru, watching Serena enter the arena with an expression of no surprise, and seemed quite happy.

"Sister Tierra, Master!" Serena exclaimed excitedly as Amagi Hikaru entered the arena.

After two years, she finally has the chance to duel Amagi Hikaru in a real dueling arena!
She had been waiting for this moment for so long!

“Serena, right now we are merely duelists,” Amagi said with a smile.

"Okay, Master!" she said, even more excited.

"Then, let's duel!"

The two got ready, the traffic lights started flashing, and as the final countdown ended, they sped off the track. Serena floored the accelerator with all her might, completely disregarding whether she could drive or not. Seeing her drive so recklessly, Amagi Hikaru smiled helplessly and then slowed down. Serena's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she instantly switched to fully automatic mode, preparing for the duel.

"Om-"

"Duel!" X2.
Team Moonwind Birds, number 1, Serena, LP: 4000.
Team 5DS, debuting number 1, Hikaru Amagi, LP: 4000.
