Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 680 The Fated Battle (4K, please vote with monthly tickets~)

On this day, the WRGP tournament qualifiers officially concluded, with 32 teams advancing to participate in the WRGP main tournament next month.

All teams had a full two weeks of rest, during which they could go anywhere in the city and even hold "battles" in advance to determine the next stage of the competition.

Thanks to City’s powerful communication and perpetual motion machine technology, the City Hall and the Presidential Palace are confident that all duels can be recorded and broadcast to viewers all over the world.

Moreover, for the audience, this is not simply a "no-event" segment. The WRGP official will hold various support and pre-match prediction sessions, and arrange excellent hosts and analysts to conduct detailed evaluations and predictions of the past matches of the 32 teams and the decks of each member during these two weeks.

Of course, there are also topics that are most worth participating in for many enthusiasts—

Who do you think will become the first WRGP Grand Prix champion?
This post became incredibly popular at the top of the WRGP official forum, with almost every forum member sharing their opinions. Some people even said they would definitely go to the City to witness the birth of the champion in person.

Meanwhile, all the participants could also sense that whether it was elves or "gods," these beings were gradually gathering in the City, and the country would become unprecedentedly prosperous!

For the native life forms of this world, the upcoming "One God Elimination Tournament" is something they should watch up close.

For certain elves, something special seems to be about to happen here.

The Great Cosmos Workshop has partnerships with many elf factions. Many elves now regard Hikari, the "Absolute Fusion Master," "Peerless Alchemist," and "Strongest Fusion Duelist," as their guiding light. Long ago, some plant-eating elves were already very familiar with his legends.

The "busybody"—a level 3, wind-attribute, warrior-type spirit with an attack power of 1000, who wished to remain anonymous and could be used as fusion material for the Flame Winged Man—spread the news like crazy. Some beings who already knew this would happen and had been eagerly anticipating it naturally gathered at a certain place in the city.

Under these circumstances, even Hubert couldn't help but become interested. Perhaps out of a desire to see others embarrassed, she has been urging Jaden to go see Hikaru Amagi, making Jaden think that she had reconciled with the others.

So--

Where are the people at the center of the incident?
As the elves were stirring up trouble, Amagi Hikaru gradually noticed something amiss.

He wasn't stupid; how could he not be aware of the changing atmosphere inside the Great Universe Workshop?

Similarly, as a high-star "Elf Duelist," he could also see the elves gradually gathering nearby.

of course.

These are all secondary.

What truly made Hikaru Amagi realize the problem was Tiera herself.

Compared to those who needed to think and ponder before realizing the change in atmosphere, Hikaru Amagi actually noticed the unusual situation much earlier.

After his duel with Sofia, Hikaru Amagi gradually felt something was wrong and he felt unwell.

This feeling that something is amiss is very simple and very real.

In the past, no matter what Hikaru Amagi did, there was always Tyella by his side giving him pointers.

During his duels, Tiera would watch intently from the sidelines, occasionally offering her own opinions or asking questions she didn't understand. Amagi Hikaru would then review and learn something new through these questions and answers.

In her daily life, Tiera rarely expresses her opinions, but no matter who Hikari Amagi encounters, Tiera will always comment on or even belittle the humans and elves that Hikari meets in her usual condescending tone.

Occasionally, when Hikari Amagi encounters anything mechanical, she suddenly goes into a frenzy, praising the machine's beauty and commenting on its merits—

But none of these things have happened these days.

Tierra didn't even float past him with a cup of noodles in her hand.

It was so obvious that Hikaru Amagi couldn't ignore it at all.

but--

Hikaru Amagi didn't ask Tiera; instead, she pondered and searched for the answer.

Just as Yusei would seek out questions, Amagi Hikaru was also wondering why Tiera was acting this way.

He soon discovered the problem.

Therefore, he was willing to wait for Tiera to think it over.

However, after a few days, seeing Tierra's frowning face and deep in thought, he knew that this was not something Tierra could figure out in a short time.

From a divine perspective, she might spend hundreds of years contemplating before finding the answer.

Because, for her, these long "several hundred years" were but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things.

Therefore, upon realizing that Tiera was truly thinking and searching for answers, Hikaru Amagi knew that he could no longer "wait".

He took the initiative to approach Tierra.

"Tiera, after the duel with Sofia, all the materials needed to revive you have been gathered. Do you intend to fully revive yourself during this time?"

All the parts of the Hellfire Machine and all the parts of the casing have now been completely collected by Tiera. Although there is still a "hidden atheistic core of the casing" and Amagi Hikaru has not yet been fully manufactured, Tiera can now slowly repair itself under these circumstances.

the most important is.

With her victory over Sofia, Tierra also completed her final flaw.

It made up for its shortcomings in "creativity".

This means that she can now attempt to use her own power to combine the two different components to revive and restore her to the complete "Creator God" state.

This was actually something that would have been entirely beneficial for her, but for some reason, she stopped at the very first step.

she……

That step was not taken.

These days, she clearly has time every day to try to take the first step, but she just stays in the Great Cosmic Workshop, doing nothing or casually dealing with the elves who ask her for help, showing no signs of wanting to be resurrected.

Although this initial step may be extremely difficult, and even for her, it would take a long time, it would be very strange not to even try.

This means that Tiera's dilemma isn't about how to resurrect, but rather whether or not to resurrect at all.

Upon hearing Amagi Hikaru's question, Tiera pursed her lips.

Hikaru Amagi smiled, thought for a moment, and subconsciously touched the back of his head, revealing a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness.

Even he is not perfect, and there are naturally things he doesn't quite know how to do.

Tierra's suspicions only grew as she watched him act foolishly.

But fortunately.

Neither of them liked to keep things to themselves.

"Amagi Hikaru, do you think two years is enough to change the existence concept of someone with tens of millions of years of experience?"

"You've changed your mindset and are now engaging in a duel."

"Well, everyone needs to have their own beliefs to fight a duel. Can I go against my own beliefs?"

"I don't think that will work."

Tiera fell silent for a moment.

For this question, Amagi Hikaru will always have only one answer. It's like asking Amagi Hikaru, "Amagi Hikaru, are you willing to give up the fusion?"—ridiculous and absurd.

but now--

This is the problem she is facing.

“I see, I understand now, Tiera.” Having answered Tiera’s question, Amagi Hikaru gradually returned to his usual self. He smiled gently and said, “I finally understand my doubts during this time.”

I finally understand what Sofia said to you that day.

"Don't be so perceptive at this time!"

Tiera was somewhat angry. The fact that Amagi Hikaru was laughing made her hesitation and inner conflict seem insignificant, which made her even angrier.

“Perhaps, from the moment we met, this was destined to happen.” Hikaru Amagi extended her hand to Tiera and said, “Tiera, do you remember the [contract] we made when we met?”

"Contract?"

Tiera provides Amagi with immense power, enough to fight anyone, while Amagi provides Tiera with the means to revive and teaches her a new era of fighting.

When the initial agreement came to an end, the duel that was supposed to take place naturally followed.

The agreed-upon duel!

"Let's duel, Tiera!"

"Me and you? Do you intend to beat me and then make me give up?"

“No, Tiera, I’ve told everyone before that my fusion is inclusive, so I will not allow any opponent to abandon their own ideals. Fusion is the noblest way of summoning, and I have always supported any other way of summoning as well.”

"So……"

"Tiera, now that you have learned the fighting methods of this new era, then use these new methods of dueling to find the answer—the answer that belongs to us."

"A destined duel!"

The initial agreement, the final duel!

A duel that was destined to happen from the very beginning!

Now—

Tiera raised her right hand, and a strange power flickered slowly within it.

"it is good!"

She made up her mind.

It begins with learning about duels and ends with a duel; this is the preparation that should be made.

then--

on this day.

When Jaden and his dimensional fusion companions, along with the members of Team Tsukigami, came to Team 5DS's base to enjoy a happy holiday, they saw the bewildered and somewhat lost members of Team 5DS.

From them, they learned—

Ah Guang is going to have a duel with Tiera!
"what?"

Judai and the others were the most surprised.

Why would they suddenly have a duel when they were usually such good friends?

Regarding the 5DS, Yusei, Kro, and Jack were also completely baffled, especially Jack.

In his view, it was fine for him to duel with the Crimson Nova, since they weren't on the same side before. Why was Amagi Hikaru dueling with his own god? Hadn't his god already defeated another god before?

Regardless, since Amagi Hikaru has made his decision, they are naturally happy to watch the duel.

After all, it was just a matter of borrowing a venue for a duel, so they were happy to join in the fun.

The technology provided by ZONE allows Hikaru Amagi and Tiera to experience the best and most practical "human scientific duel," and is also the most convenient dueling arena.

Tiera didn't want to fight in the DT dimension, and fighting in the Great Cosmic Workshop was also inexplicably uncomfortable, so they all breathed a sigh of relief when this dueling arena appeared.

However, when Shiro saw his juniors, classmates, and teachers coming to join in the fun, and with the elf-like Daitokuji-sensei squatting there watching curiously, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"That's fantastic!" Huber cheered, pumping his fist in excitement. "I've been wanting to see this for ages! It's amazing!"

She was a little too excited.

Jaden whistled awkwardly, looked around at the scenery, pretended not to see anything, and was glad that Yusei and the others couldn't see the Pokémon. But Ryuko's innocent, kind, and curious big eyes still made him very, very embarrassed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Hikaru Amagi took a deep breath, looked at his classmates and teachers, and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, everyone, I have something very important to me today, so I can't be with you."

"It's alright, Hikaru! I'd really like to see you duel with Miss Tierra!" Jaden said casually.

The other students looked at each other, seemingly having many ideas. In the end, it was Manjoume who said mischievously, "It's okay. We've all seen Judai and Hubel fight. It would be interesting to see another one."

It was all hints; there was no skill involved in speaking at all.

Professor Chronos was somewhat worried, but Tierra's past performance was much more trustworthy than Hubert's, so he only verbally encouraged Amagi Hikaru.

On the other hand, Serena almost immediately started cheering for Tiera, completely forgetting that Amagi Hikaru was her teacher, which inexplicably improved Tiera's mood.

Hikaru Amagi shook his head, no longer looking at his friends, classmates, and teachers, but looking ahead.

Tiera gently opened her arms, and a calm, gentle light shone down on her. Then, to everyone's astonishment, her figure slowly appeared.

That was not an illusion.

Instead, in that instant, it transformed into a real physical body, a true "human body," and fell to the ground.

Jack and the others were simply shocked, while Jaden and those who had specifically studied Duel Pokémon were speechless with their mouths agape.

In that instant, Tiera altered her "life form," transforming from an "elf" into a living human being!

Even Hubert, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare intently at Tiera, both looking at a monster and suddenly realizing something important.

Hikaru Amagi flung her Duel Disk, and purple light swirled around it before settling. Tiera, meanwhile, gently raised her hand, and countless purple puppet threads transformed into a net and then into metal, embedding themselves into her left hand as she expertly "summoned" her Duel Disk.

"Just like we agreed back then."

"Um--"

"Duel!" X2.
Regardless, this duel, which was destined to take place for them, and which may also be a duel for them to find answers, has officially begun!
And the agreed-upon first strike...

It's Tiera!

Tierra, LP: 4000.
Amagi Hikaru, LP: 4000.
