Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 682 Spiral Ascent (1 words, please vote with monthly tickets~)

The round has come to Tyella again.

Not far away, Daitokuji Temple, quietly watching his disciples duel from a corner, fumbled with his staff, lost in thought.

There's not much to say about the content of the duel. Hikari overcame this hurdle a year ago and is even stronger this year. There's no doubt about his dueling skill.

It doesn't understand emotions or anything like that, so it has nothing to comment on.

but--

He was an alchemist.

It is an extremely powerful alchemist.

He is the strongest alchemist in existence, known to all!

Perhaps Hikari or Jaden Yuki have surpassed it in specific areas, but in the "all areas of alchemy", it is undoubtedly the strongest!
Therefore, when it came to Hikari some time ago and the other party expressed his doubts, it already understood.

Hikari's Fusion – his alchemy – emphasizes all-encompassing concepts.

but!

In the very beginning.

The first truly meaningful person he encountered, someone he could talk to, someone who could help him, someone who could grow with him, and someone who could encourage him, was the first person he truly "rejected"!

Unlike the "non-fusion" part of the Fusion Army, which he had already rejected from the bottom of his heart, Tiera, who was clearly someone he could communicate with, was someone he had always been wary of.

Perhaps with the passage of time, the relationship between Hikari and Tiera has long since become more than just that of partners, but there are still flaws.

Now, it's clear that Hikari has realized his mistake and is genuinely determined to continue the discussion with Tiera here.

"My turn, draw a card."

Tiera looked at the card she had drawn and then at the field.

Among Hikaru Amagi's overlay cards, one is Shaddoll's Apocalypse, while the other is unknown.

Considering it's Hikaru Amagi, it's most likely a fusion card, less likely a fusion support card, and even less likely a multi-functional fusion card like Flame Sword Dance.

When Tiera checked Amagi Hikaru's deck last time, Flame Dance was nowhere to be found; it was Tiera who put Flame Dance back in.

For many people in this world, their deck is their biggest secret and their biggest taboo. They wouldn't dare to modify their deck, not even their own parents.

But Tierra has this privilege.

Hikaru Amagi never stopped her.

Ultimately, this is because Tiera rarely gets involved in other matters, and Amagi Hikaru trusts Tiera a great deal and is happy to let her try "deck building".

Only in this way can we grow faster.

Everyone can practice their card-playing skills through practice.

However, understanding duels and building decks cannot be learned through practice alone; it requires hands-on experience and genuine "losses" to truly grasp them.

“Spell Card, Advanced Draw.” Tiera casually placed a card down. “I activate this effect by Tributing 1 face-up Level 8 or higher monster on your field. Draw 2 cards from your Deck.”

"I free my body and draw two cards from my deck."

Tiera's deck is filled with all sorts of high-level monsters, and for tactical convenience, she chooses to use cards like "Superior Draw" or "Discount Shopping".

Although she has never had a "stuck hand" in official duels, she doesn't use her own power to play cards when playing with Serena, so she still needs cards like this.

"Because this card is drawn after the cost, even if you cover it with a counter trap, it won't stop you, Amagi Hikaru."

Amagi Hikaru nodded.

and so--

"Open the overlay card." Amagi Hikaru decisively opened the overlay card.

"Continuous Trap Card, Shaddoll's Apocrypha!"

"Except for Shadowdike Nephilim in the graveyard and Sharp Imp Chain in the graveyard, Fusion Summon, Level 5, Shadowdike Midrash."

The green-haired little puppet appeared in front of Amagi Hikaru, corresponding to Tiera from afar.

Divine Shadow Midrash, Level 5, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2200.
"Integration was prioritized."

"Well, after all, the monsters in Hellfire Machine can be Special Summoned directly without needing to be activated."

"If you think about [the opponent Special Summons Midrash and then Chain Special Summons Midrash to prevent the opponent from Special Summoning], you will never be able to complete the tactic and it will only backfire."

Many people know this combo, so no one has bothered to explain it.

Tiera looked at Midrash on the Sky City's light field, stopped what she was doing, and did not continue the duel.

“Midras…contact with the false body of God, that is, contact with my false body.” Tiera moved her limbs slightly, then pointed to her face and said, “This face, this body, is not mine, but Vinda’s.”

Hikaru Amagi, you've never truly connected with the real me, so how can you possibly arrive at your own answers?

This statement caused many viewers and Pokémon who were watching the duel to look away from the content of the duel and start to ponder the question.

A borrowed body?
What do the other people look like?

"Given differences in life form, physique, size, and lifespan, what is the answer to this duel?"

Tiera touched her left cheek with one hand, and in an instant, the left half of Tiera's body transformed from flesh and blood into a silvery-white, grotesque mechanical structure. Various wires, like blood, were coiled and intertwined, looking like pythons devouring electricity and light.

This sudden change startled many onlookers, especially the two very young children, who immediately hugged each other in fear. The older children, such as Serena and her friends, also turned pale and looked very frightened.

As for Jaden and his friends—they've seen far too many spirits and encountered far too many abnormal life forms. Although Tiera's current appearance was deliberately designed to be terrifying, it wasn't enough to frighten them.

Professor Chronos, on the other hand, cried out "Mamma Mia!" and hid behind the students in fright.

Tiera had no interest in or concern for these people's reactions.

In reality, she had no interest in her own form of life, not even flesh and blood. It made no difference to her because she treated herself as a machine, regardless of her state.

However, unlike her, humans have their own instinctive judgments.

"What does it matter?"

Hikaru Amagi asked in return.

He gently pinched his cheek, and like Tiera, he said with a hint of doubt and melancholy, "Now that things have come to this, Tiera, there's no need to ask this question anymore, is there?"
After all… I myself don’t know if I’m a human being or some other strange thing.”

“Perhaps… I’ve never really met you in person.” Hikaru Amagi said with a smile, “Thinking about it that way, it’s actually not so bad.”

Because in this duel, regardless of what happened before, you and I are both our true selves.

To prove this point, Hikaru Amagi even used [Hyperfusion] from the very beginning.

Tiera paused for a moment.

She pursed her lips slightly, then slowly smiled.

Yes--

Amagi Hikaru's body is not his either.

If that's the case, what's the big deal?
Her relationship with Hikaru Amagi was not based on appearance, but on shared beliefs and understanding.

Even if she were a card that couldn't speak, Hikaru Amagi wouldn't change his attitude.

Because... this is Amagi Hikaru.

But this is actually what troubles her the most.

“Amagi Hikaru…” she began slowly.

That day, during the duel with Sofia, Sofia's words made Tiera ponder deeply for a long time.

She is the goddess of death, the goddess of reincarnation, she is—the goddess of creation.

Building a perfect ecological world is her duty and power.

For her, as long as she can achieve this goal, whether she lives or dies, whether she is a carbon-based or silicon-based life form, she is just a link in the life system.

As she reminisced and recounted her story, the people and elves around her gradually came to understand and recognize what kind of being Tiera truly was. In their minds, they imagined a towering Tiera running a planet like a simulation management game.

"On that day, however, I felt fear."

"It's not that I'm afraid of Sofia, but I'm afraid of what she said."

"Can I abandon Hikaru Amagi, or watch Hikaru Amagi die?"

"Can I still coldly do what I'm supposed to do?"

Tiera gently clenched her fist.

"Now that I have defeated Sofia, I have won, which means I have an opportunity that belongs solely to me."

This opportunity is so rare that I would dream of it, even if it meant death, to reconstruct the world I imagined and watch it develop and operate.

This is what I desire most—I, I never want to give up!

Her fists clenched tighter and tighter, making a cracking sound: "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity?"

Sophia and I fought for the right to use the planet, for the design of the reincarnation system, and for the creation of life. We fought for this for tens of thousands of years. Even though I was defeated by her and sealed in the God Star Tree, I created a backup robot to try to revive myself.

Even if it means killing life on a planet, controlling the bodies of the dead, as long as it leads to resurrection, as long as it allows me to create a world according to my vision, I'm willing to do it.

"And now... opportunity has finally appeared before me again."

Sofia, who had been smiling and watching the show with amusement, gradually turned cold and frowned, seemingly empathizing with Tiera's words.

"To be honest, Hikaru Amagi, although we've only known each other for two years, I've been very happy during that time, and I still am now, even when we're dueling," Tiera said earnestly.

"but……"

"I also want to go back to the past."

“Back to the beginning.”

"Let's go back to the moment when I was still the God of Creation."

"Back to when I was still the cold, ruthless, cruel, bloodthirsty, insane person who would stop at nothing to achieve my goals!!"

The topic was somewhat heavy.

It's even a bit terrifying.

None of the onlookers dared to speak.

After hearing Tiera's words, Hikaru Amagi did not respond, as if he were stunned and just stood there in a daze.

Tiera didn't continue. She drew two cards from her deck, and her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw one of them.

"Send Hellfire Nama and Hellfire Lilith from the graveyard to the graveyard and restart them. Special Summon Hellfire Admiral."

Hellfire Machine Admirer, Level 8, Fire Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 2800.
With its special summoning, purple puppet strings were entangled on her Duel Disk.

But she didn't care about that.

"Huh? No one can specially summon a stronger Lilith or Nama?"

"I don't understand. That deck is unique to Princess Tiera. Who knows what the point is?"

But regardless—

Its attack power surpasses that of Midrash!

"Fight, Admiral, attack Midrash."

Crimson hellfire raged and destroyed Midrash.

The flames spread along the dueling arena to Amagi Hikaru's body, and he neither dodged nor avoided them, taking the flames head-on.

Amagi Hikaru, LP: 4000→3400.
"Both sides have equal health points."

"However, Midrash also has monster effects."

That's right, the recycling effect!
"You can activate this effect when Admiral destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard. This card can attack once more."

"Midrush's effect: If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can target 1 Shaddoll Spell/Trap Card in the Graveyard. Add that card to your hand. I choose Shaddoll Fusion."

This effect prevented Admiral from triggering a chain reaction at this stage, so Tiera didn't react. However, she was now hoping for Hikaru Amagi to activate the backup magic pitcher's effect.

Hikaru Amagi did not continue with the chain.

As a result, the cards of both sides began to switch places, and Hikaru Amagi regained Shaddoll Fusion.

"Main Phase 2, I liberate Admiral, except for the Shadfel pseudo-canon in your graveyard."

Immediately afterwards, the fake text of the Shadow Doll in Hikaru Amagi's graveyard was burned away by the power of the flames and gradually disappeared. Hikaru Amagi saw this and was not surprised at all.

This scene left many people puzzled, because if Midrash had already been dealt with, why was Yadmüller freed instead?
This seems a bit unworthy, doesn't it?
Therefore, the problem arises.

As a result, Tiera has no usable monsters left on the field. In the graveyard, only Hellfire Evil and Hellfire Tiera remain, which can be used as materials for Admiral's appearance.

With only one Admiral, although the attack power is as high as 2800, how long can it last?

"Send my own mechanical remains and evil to reboot. Special Summon: Hellfire Machine Admirer."

Admiral's repeated appearances surprised many people.

Both this duel and the previous one against Tierra's Nama demonstrated Tierra's persistence in duels.

That is, no matter how many times she enters the cemetery, she will return from death.

"The evil effect is activated." Tiera raised her left hand, and blue flames spread across the duel arena, making the already cold place even colder.

"This effect can only be activated if this card is sent to the Graveyard or banished. Add 1 Infernal Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

"I'm adding the Dream of Purgatory to my hand!"

Tiera is the source of Purgatory and can create Purgatory magic cards at will. She wouldn't hesitate to create such useful magic.

After the alternate version of the Dream was destroyed, Tiera immediately chose the normal version of the Dream.

"Next, activate the effect of Blazing Inferno in the Graveyard. If you control no monsters or only Fiend monsters, banish this card from the Graveyard if it wasn't sent there this turn. You can then target up to 11 of your banished Inferno monsters; those monsters return to the Graveyard!"

This effect can only be used once per duel.

"Eh!?"

"what?"

Such a powerful and domineering effect!
Considering the powerful ability of Hellfire to spawn from the graveyard... this card is too strong!

"This is more like the effect of being able to use it only once in a duel..." Jaden scratched the back of his head, somewhat moved.

"I deactivate all the Hellfire Machine monsters except for my own body from the restart state and start a new cycle!"

"Hiss... Oh no, the situation is very unfavorable for Amagi." Seeing this, Manjou couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

The rest is history!

The Hellfire Machine's insane self-jumping is about to begin again!

After all, Tiera's graveyard contains 11 Hellfire Machine monsters, and she also has the second Dream Card that she just retrieved.

Next up will definitely be Lilith jumping and Nama jumping again—

But until then...

"Send Satan, Beelzebub, and Lucifer from the graveyard back to the graveyard to restart. Special Summon Hellfire Lilith."

"Activate when Lilith is Special Summoned. Destroy all Spell & Trap Cards on the field except for Infernal Cards!"

Tiera waved her hand casually, manipulating her creations to stir up a whirlwind.

"So cautious!!"

Tenjouin Fubuki instantly understood her thinking.

Even now, Tiera hasn't forgotten the effect of the backup magic pitcher that hasn't been activated yet!
If you carelessly activate the Dream of Purgatory, the supporting Demon Pitcher can banish cards from the graveyard to destroy the Dream, and then you won't be able to do anything!

Now, with Lilith on the field, not only can she destroy Amagi Hikaru's back row face-down cards and Shaddoll's Pseudo-Scripture, which can be used again next turn, but she can also use Lilith's effect to counter the support Spellcaster!

"...When the effect of the Support Magic Pitcher is activated, you can banish 1 Fusion Spell Card from your Graveyard, target 1 card on the field, and destroy that card."

"Except for contact with the false form of God in the graveyard, I will destroy your Hellfire Lilith on the field!"

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore, Hikaru Amagi," Tiera chuckled softly. "But it's too late!"

"Hellfire Lilith's effect: Free yourself, negate and banish your monster effects!"

Lilith opened her enormous dragon mouth and spewed out icy flames. The ram-horned demon was no match for her powerful effect and slowly crumbled under the tearing force.

"Not only can it destroy all spells and traps on the field, but it can also negate monster effects. It really is a perfect match for that Namar..."

With the disappearance of the supporting magic pitcher, the spell and trap cards on the field of Amagi Hikaru and Tierra began to crack.

The first card to be destroyed was Shaddoll's False Codex on Amagi's field. With the disappearance of this card, the face-down cards on Amagi and Tierra's fields gradually began to be revealed.

Covering the field of Tiera is a Continuous Trap Card, Cycle of Domination.

While this card is on the field, you can declare one race once per turn to activate this effect. This turn, monsters in both players' graveyards become the declared race.

There's nothing particularly unusual about it.

But—that has always been Tiera's obsession.

And what covered the azure city's light field was...

Trap card, stirring up trouble!

Tiera frowned slightly.

Cut the grass.

It seems that he had anticipated his preparations to destroy all the traps.

However, provoking a snake by stirring up trouble isn't that dangerous.

At worst, she could Special Summon a Nature Wood Dragon, which wouldn't have much of an impact on her. She could just Special Summon Nama and destroy it.

"The effect of 'Troublesome Snake'. If this Set card leaves the field due to an opponent's card effect, is sent to the Graveyard, or is banished, you can activate this effect. Special Summon 1 monster from your Deck or Extra Deck."

It looks like they're trying to summon special protective measures.

Many elves nodded in agreement.

As expected of Hikari, he plans ahead. This cover card will definitely be used by Princess Tiera.

I just don't know what kind of fusion monster to use...

"Based on the effect of 'teasing the snake in the grass,' I will Special Summon a monster from my Deck."

“?” Tiera raised an eyebrow.

what for?

"I Special Summon from my Deck a Level 3 Predatory Plant Bee Orchid Scorpion".

Plant-eating scorpion, level 3, dark attribute, plant race, attack power 1200.
! !
She immediately understood what Hikaru Amagi was going to do.

"Bee Orchid Scorpion's effect: If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate this effect by sending 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Plant Monster other than Plant Orchid Scorpion from your Deck!"

"Uh?"

"what--"

"and many more!"

"Isn't it possible?"

A chorus of screams erupted.

"I Special Summon from my Deck: Predatory Plant Cobra!"

A flower rose from the ground of the dueling arena, transforming into a snake, its stamens flicking out like tongues.

Predatory Plant Snake Bottle Grass Cobra, Level 3, Dark Attribute, Plant Type, Attack Power 1000.
"The effect of the Cobra in the Snake Bottle. This effect can only be activated if this card is Special Summoned by the effect of a Predatory Plant."

Add 1 Fusion Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.

Silence—a terrifying silence!

"I'll choose... a quick-attack spell, Super Fusion!"

Hikaru Amagi raised his left hand, and a card automatically flew out from the bottom of the deck, slowly landing in his hand.

That terrifying power, which was held back yet stirred all directions, foreshadowed its absolute invincible and unstoppable supreme strength!

This is……

Hyperfusion!
The atmosphere instantly became tense.

No one offered any further comment.

Hyperfusion cannot be chained by any card.

In other words, no matter how many Infernals Tiera Special Summons, it won't change the current situation!

Because Nama and Lilith, who possess the ability to negate monster effects, will inevitably be fused by Super Polymerization!

Seeing the emergence of the hyperfusion, Tiera gradually understood.

At first, Hikari Amagi sent the predatory plant Chimera Giant Flower to the cemetery not just because she preferred its effects, but because...

He wants to retrieve hyperfusion!

Hikaru Amagi never lies!
If you say you'll show your full strength, then you must show your full strength; if you say you'll show your sincerity, then you must show your sincerity!
However, this sincerity is just too overwhelming.

No one knew that the other had a [Super Polymer] in their hand, yet they weren't worried at all.

"This……"

The group of elves looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

By now, the so-called "spectator" behavior has completely stopped.

All the viewers realized this at that moment.

This duel was more than just a "spectacle."

More profound and deeper things are slowly emerging.

They should no longer disturb any duelist's thoughts with their voices!
"Tiera".

Tiera looked at the other person.

“Before, that great leader said that I was not complete, and since then I have been thinking about why.”

"Am I human? Am I an elf? Are my memories accurate? Am I really myself?"

"But... now I've figured it out."

"Whether I am Hikari Amagi, Hikari, or your friend, I am the same person."

Hikaru Amagi opened the graveyard, checked the Extra Deck, and said as he looked, "My Fusion is a Fusion that moves forward with you, and my Alchemy is also a process that has gradually completed its necessary steps with your help."

For me, every aspect of myself is essentially me, so I shouldn't hide or discard any one of them.

Hikaru Amagi lifted up those fused monsters, those lower-level monsters.

Shaddoll's monsters, Gem Knight's monsters, Alchemist's cards, Hellfire's cards... all of these cards were not actually created by Hikaru Amagi alone, but were born from joint research.

"My fusion, like my deck, is inextricably linked to you; and just as I am, your deck contains the cards I use—"

"I think... there's no longer such a thing as an 'original form,' is there?"

"..." Tiera was still a little stunned.

After a short while, she finally spoke: "But for me, was this brief moment an illusion, or a change in myself? I don't even know myself."

unless……"

"Unless we are working towards the same goal and do not interfere with each other."

“That’s right, but…”

“It can be done.” Amagi Hikaru suddenly changed his mind and said, “Since you repaired the first spirit dimension, we have tried many times, haven’t we?”

The DT planet may never reappear.

but--

The [Great Universe Dimension] that I inherited can always open a door for you.

Not only that, but also the dimensions we've adventured through together, and the Magic Toy Sanctuary—

These are all new changes and new creations that we created together!

Tierra's hands trembled slightly.

She gently placed her hand on her chest.

The sound of her heart beating echoed in her mind.

Is this... the reaction of flesh and blood?
It's really old, but... it's also exciting.

She patted her face.

"Everything has one premise."

"I see."

“Don’t think you’ve already won.” Tiera looked at the card on her left. “Don’t think that my power is only this much.”

Thier stared intently at the gleaming card and continued, "The duel continues!"

To her left, a shimmering card was slowly taking shape, and it was now almost complete.

Before this, Tiera had more stable tactics, but because of Midrash, they couldn't use them directly.

But now...

"Activate the Continuous Spell Card, Infernal Dream, and reduce the Level of all Infernal Monsters on the field to 1."

"Special Summon Hellfire Asmodeus, excluding Nama and Lilith, from the Graveyard."

"Special Summon Hellfire Belphegor, excluding Astaroth and Baal, from the Graveyard."

Have they changed their tactics?
Most of the audience hadn't recovered from Amagi Hikaru's incredibly blunt remarks, while only Jaden and Yusei had already focused on the duel.

Although Yusei felt a bit... uh... strange about the way Amagi Hikaru and Tiera interacted, he also gleaned a lot of meaningful information from the duel.

One of the most important points is...

Respect and equality!
This greatly inspired him, and he finally understood where the "problem" he couldn't figure out before actually lay.

That's why he paid more attention to duels than others.

Tierra's unusual behavior made him sense something strange.

Tierra looked at her cards, glanced at the scene, and pondered for a moment.

As she participates in this duel, her true "body" begins to revive, and her genuine "original form" in this era finally slowly reveals itself.

The current situation is actually not good for her.

but--

Once her true form descends, all the [terrible situations] will cease to exist!
"Activate the effect of Flame Return from Graveyard, return banished Namar, Lilith, and myself to the Deck, and draw one card."

She didn't want to lose so embarrassingly.

However, she had no idea whether the next draw would be the straw that saved her!

She placed her hand on top of the deck, and at that moment, she was actually praying that the deck would respond to her expectations—just like Amagi Hikaru did.

"Draw a card!"

A flash of purple light appeared.

She looked at the card she had drawn, raised an eyebrow, and was overjoyed: "Activate the Realm of Despair."

If you don't control any monsters, or if you only control Fiend monsters, you can activate one of their effects. For example, "I add Satan (who is banished) to my hand, then banish Baal, and Special Summon Satan."

"How come... so many monsters were Special Summoned?"

"There are already four. What exactly does Sister Tierra want?"

Tiera ignored their thoughts and activated her last card: "Equip a Spell Card, Bury Prematurely, pay 800 Life Points, revive 1 monster in your Graveyard, and equip this card."

Tierra, LP: 3400 → 2600.
She looked at the card drawn this round and finally nodded slowly.

"Here we go, Amagi Hikaru... Since you're going all out, then I'll go all out too! In the truest sense!"

"Show the card!"

Tiera opened her arms, and the cards began to circulate and fly around her once again.

"Equipment Spell Card: Premature Burial, Continuous Spell Card: Purgatory's Dream, Continuous Spell Card: Purgatory's Decisive Realm, Monster Card: Inferno Satan, Inferno Asmodeus, Inferno Belphegor, Inferno Admiral, Inferno Decimal!"

Immediately afterwards, Tiera threw out her own card as well. The card flew through the air, as if it were foreshadowing or calling out something.

"Show your cue cards!"
The hidden core of the machine: Atheism; the machine's alias is dullness!

"What's going on?"

Everyone, at this moment, can feel a strange power, an unbelievable, eerie power.

"Show ten different cards and put them all back into my Extra Deck!"

The monsters and magic on the field began to flow back as if a rewind button had been pressed!
Time seemed to flow backwards; the moon rose at night, followed by the sunset, then the midday sun, and finally the dawn!

"The moment of destruction has passed; now, let us return to the origin!"
Manifest!
My true power—

Level 11.

"Tiera, the Goddess of Creation!"

The phantom of Tiera, which was originally like a long snake, slowly stood upright. Then, components of the shell flew in from all directions, together forming the core of her limbs and wings.

A holy light shone throughout the entire dueling arena.

The red flame of life warmed the almost lifeless air.

Yusei looked at his arm, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. In that instant, he actually felt his lost life force gradually flowing back.

Jack stared in astonishment at the scar on his left arm, which gradually enlarged, then became fresh and started bleeding, before slowly shrinking until it seemed as if it had never been injured at all.

In that instant, everything seemed to return to its starting point!
“My special summoning cannot be nullified,” Tiera herself said calmly, floating in front of the massive Tiera’s abdominal cabin.

"Furthermore, it cannot activate in response to my effects, allowing the effects of Spell, Trap, and Monster to activate."

it turns out!?
It's on par with Hyper Fusion, an absolutely invincible effect!?

"If I successfully Special Summon a card, this effect is activated. All cards in both players' hands, fields, and graveyards, except for mine, as well as face-up Pendulum Monsters from the Extra Deck, are returned to their respective Deck!"

! ! ! ? ? ? ?

all!?
that is not……

Is there absolutely no way to resist?
shhhhh--

The cards in both players' graveyards began to flow backward rapidly, flying back to their respective decks. The monsters on Amagi's field, unaware of anything, crawled backward back into their decks. In the end, even the cards in Amagi's hand returned to their decks.

shhhhh--

The deck was quickly shuffled and switched, and finally, it stopped with a ding.

"This……"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.

There is no way to deal with it!

Even "Hellfire Machine Tiera" can have cards like Shadow Robe of Sophia or Effect Veiler to prevent it from being dealt with directly.

but--

The creator goddess Tiera has no means of defense!

No card can prevent her from entering the game, and no card can interfere with the use of her effects!

Everyone looked at Amagi Hikaru's field.

Amagi LP: 3400.
Graveyard: 0, Hand: 0, Field: 0!

There are no cards!

Even the Hellfire Tearer can be dealt with based on the graveyard effect, but now...

There's nothing we can do!
On the other side, the attack power of that Creator God was...

3400!

If Hikaru Amagi doesn't draw a monster in the next turn and gets attacked directly, he'll lose immediately!
Furthermore, even if you draw a card like Shaddoll Fusion, you can't use it because Tiera the Creator is not Special Summoned from the Extra Deck.

This is……

The closest we've ever been to Tiancheng Optical Transmission Station!
Because, at this moment, only one word remained before Amagi Hikaru.

【Lucky】.

All of his companions looked at Amagi Hikaru, some of them worried about his mindset.

After all, facing such a terrifying and oppressive existence, one still has to gamble with an uncertain amount of luck...

"Do not……"

Hikaru Amagi calmly shook his head: "In our world, there is no such thing as luck... or rather, in this kind of duel, there is no such thing as chance."

"Therefore, my next card will definitely be [Fusion]."

"What kind of fusion will allow you to win, Hikaru Amagi?"

“Only that one,” Amagi Hikaru said calmly.

Tiera immediately understood which fusion scroll Amagi Hikaru was referring to, and it was precisely because she knew that she asked in return.

"So, do you think you'll get it?"

"Let me ask you a question in return, Tiera: after regaining the power of the Creator God, would you find a desolate planet and re-evolve it according to the DT planet?"

Tierra pondered for a long time.

She had been pondering this question even before returning to her original state.

But now... the answer is no.

Because times have changed, creating a new world without taking "duel level" into account would undoubtedly be a waste of one's abilities.

Looking back now, my fears and worries seem unnecessary.

When she truly returned to her "original" state, she understood even more clearly that Hikaru Amagi's influence on her was by no means "in an instant."

Although it was only a short two years, the fun she had during those two years was more interesting and more anticipated than anything she had encountered in her long and repetitive life.

she……

He did not revert to being the "cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel, bloody, and insane" Creator God.

Because she has become a calm, ordinary, adventurous...god.

“This is the answer, Tiera!” Hikaru Amagi took a deep breath and said firmly, “This is the answer I’ve come up with.”

"Like the cycle of alchemy, like the cycle of death and reincarnation of the soul, everything about us is in a process of replacement and cycle. Perhaps tragedies will be repeated, and perhaps things will not go smoothly, but integration and the times will spiral upward."

"You... deliberately searched for hyperfusion to force me to unleash my potential?"

Hikaru Amagi did not answer this question.

He simply placed his hand on top of the deck and then slowly drew the top card from the deck.

"I'm going to draw a card, Tiera..."

The azure flames seemed to be burning the card.

Hikaru Amagi looked at the card.

"really……"

He placed the card into the duel slot.

"Equip Magic Cards, Fusion for the Future!"

……

Tiera opened her mouth, then finally smiled helplessly.

Yeah.

Hikaru Amagi's power helped her draw the Ultimate Realm. Therefore, it's only natural that my power would help Hikaru Amagi draw Future Fusion.

Will the same card be used at the beginning and at the end of a duel?

"This is not the end, nor is it the end. As the future unfolds, there will be many more changes."

"Use the five cards from your deck—Shaddoll, Shaddoll Hedgehog, Shaddoll Lizard, Shaddoll Falcon, and Shaddoll Hound—as Fusion Materials to perform a Fusion Summon."

Ouch!

Seeing this, Daitoku-ji stretched his body and jumped up.

I didn't expect to have to go to work!
But that makes sense—without his mentor present, who else would dare to open the champagne?
After all, he remembered that his duel with Hikari was the first match in which Lady Tiera and Hikari fought together.

Five-Array Magician, Level 12, Dark Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 4500.
"Ah, Master Daitokuji!"

"The Five-Array Magician—"

"It's alchemy performed entirely with Miss Tierra's power..."

Hikaru Amagi activated the effects of the monsters in his graveyard, saying, "This effect can only be activated if a Fusion Summon is successfully performed using five different types of Spellcaster-Type monsters as Fusion Materials. Destroy all cards on your opponent's field."

Tiera is indeed incredibly powerful, but that's only during her active phase. Once her effects wear off, Tiera can no longer unleash her full power.

Shaddoll can draw one card, Shaddoll Hedgehog can search for one Shaddoll monster, and Shaddoll Falcon can be Special Summoned directly to the field.

"Eh?"

Hikaru Amagi was a little surprised when he saw the card he drew.

The card burned with blue flames and shimmered with bright purple light.

That's a picture...

Fusion.

"Ha, a magic card, Fusion." Amagi Hikaru revealed Fusion: "Fuse the Shaddoll Dragon retrieved by Shaddoll Hedgehog with Shaddoll Falcon."

Upon hearing this, Tiera slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Hmm, let me guess, the fusion condition is two monsters with the same attribute and race, but different card names?"

"That's right——"

"Fusion Summon!" x2.
"Garuda, the Winged One of Shared Destiny—"

The two shouted at the same time, and then they both laughed.

"Garuda, the Winged One of Shared Fate, has the ability to deal double damage to its opponent."

"It seems I still have some shortcomings," Tiera shook her head with some regret.

“It’s already extremely strong,” Amagi Hikaru said sincerely.

"That's not enough—you must continue to duel me, Hikaru Amagi. Always, forever!"

"Anytime, anytime."
