Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 706 Parting (4K)

The duel is over.

The human side is the victor.

When the little bird saw Yuma win, it excitedly imitated the cheerleaders' movements to celebrate for Yuma.

Aside from her, everyone else present also felt a great sense of relief.

Ella.

This source of countless evils, this creature that at first glance seemed to enjoy "caring for humanity" but was actually always a venomous snake, has finally been eliminated.

Yuma, panting heavily, slowly disengaged from his fused state. He looked at Ella, who had turned into light and disappeared on the horizon, but there was no excitement of victory on his face.

Ella is dead.

However, Ella did not die.

Ella is immortal.

She is the resentment left behind by a creature's failed pursuit of hope; as long as there is sorrow in the world, she will always have a day of resurrection.

This is something Yuma just learned.

During the "ZEXAL" fusion in this world, Yuma sensed some of the astral body's memories and learned about its mission.

Seal Aila!

As the guardian, I will seal this existence away forever!
But isn't that too upsetting?

Astral still has many memories that haven't been retrieved, and the issues in the Balian world haven't been resolved.

Therefore, he does not accept this.

He would not accept being forcibly taken away even if the astral body was to be taken away.

He believed that there would always be a way to solve this world, this hopeless world!

So, before everyone had celebrated for very long, Yuma directly told Astral Body his thoughts.

Astral Body spoke calmly, clearly not intending to listen to Yuma.

Sealing Ayla, sealing away despair, is one of the Astral's missions; he must do it...

Therefore, he would not hesitate to fight Yuma.

“That’s unnecessary.” Just then, Amagi Hikaru suddenly spoke up, interrupting the group who had abruptly fallen into a somber mood.

"Huh? What do you mean?!" Yuma quickly asked.

Hikaru Amagi smiled, shook his head, and began to explain.

According to Yuma, the sealing of Isla by the astral body seems to be a plot and setting from the Z4 manga version. After all, Isla herself is immortal, and there must be an immortal guardian to watch over her and prevent her from waking up, so that people can feel at ease.

but--

That's the situation with the manga version of Z4!
In this world where countless dimensions are interconnected and a completely new path has been taken due to the development of dimensional travel, there are other options different from the "original".

First, find a righteous person similar to an astral body who can stay in this world and guard Ella.

Secondly, find a supervillain similar to Ella, who can devour dark power and is happy to supervise Ella.

Third, eliminate Ella directly.

Yes, although Ella is "immortal" and can be reborn forever, sooner or later, in countless dimensions, there will be something that can completely destroy her.

This is not surprising; infinite dimensions, infinite possibilities.

Putting everything else aside, if Darkness were alive and Ella were reborn, Darkness could easily devour all of Ella's powers and completely replace her in her desperate divine role.

However, hiring this kind of person is definitely not an option.

After all, it's hard to guarantee that such a being won't suddenly take action, seize Ella's power, and then do all sorts of things.

“But if we find someone like Astral, wouldn’t that mean he’d have to stay here for the rest of his life?” Yuma couldn’t accept that.

Hikaru Amagi raised his finger and shook it gently: "No, as I said, there are three possibilities. This second possibility is actually more suitable for you."

"this--"

It's hard to trust them, isn't it?
"Evil doesn't exist in small numbers," Hikaru Amagi said casually. "In my world, there are the Three Phantom Demons, and in the world of Yusei, there is a lineage of Earthbound Gods who would be happy to act as guardians."

“Then shall I ask Visca to come?” Crowe raised his hand. “He is also a bit tired of the world of harmony, so he should be able to handle this job easily.”

"You finally escaped from one cell only to end up in jail somewhere else?" Hikaru Amagi waved his hand, not keeping anyone in suspense, and pointed to the place where Ella died and the cards that had been dropped. "The answer is in those cards."

【Azathoth】.

He has plenty of time, is a "homebody," and is extremely patient.

More importantly—Ella stole His lost body and claimed it for herself until today, so He would certainly be happy to "teach Ella a lesson".

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, recalling the enormous eyeball in the sky, and suddenly things seemed much simpler.

Of course, just in case, Astral decided to observe here for a while, and Amagi Hikaru shrugged, not trying to dissuade him.

Once he returns A's body, if A really extends his tentacles into this despairing world, the Astral Entity will naturally understand.

After discussing these matters, everyone began to do something more important—

Ella's Legacy.

Ella has a large number of cards she has obtained from various places. Even excluding overpowered fake cards like Gun King, Shield Emblem, and A-Zone, she has a large number of high-quality cards.

In addition, items such as Dyson Spheres, Heavenly Strings, and many other cards, as well as cards belonging to friends from the Hyperdimension Ninja like Yuma, will also be recycled.

Especially for IV, Ella had almost an entire deck of cards, all of which originally belonged to their family but had now been stolen. The more he examined them, the angrier he became. It was a pity he hadn't participated in the duel earlier, otherwise he would have definitely given Ella a good beating.

In addition, there are a large number of cards that are very important to astral beings, either their own memories or the switches to those memories. There are also the "contracts of thousands of masters" that Amagi Hikaru specifically picked out for them to pay attention to, which is simply a "treasure trove".

Hikaru Amagi even spotted a "Final Warrior from Another Planet" card in Ella's deck, thinking to himself that Ella had really pulled the lock on to the maximum.

However, Hikaru Amagi had already obtained it from the magical scientist, so he wasn't too excited when he saw it.

Ella is a pure Xyz Dimensional God. Although she collects cards from other systems, she doesn't have many—she was just about to "collect" Izayoi Aki when she was kicked out of her door.

Therefore, most of the cards are actually unrelated to Amagi Hikaru.

However, Hikaru Amagi felt much better when he checked his card.

First, there's the absolute telekinetic body; the originally negligible card rotation is completed halfway in an instant.

Not only that, other cards that are collecting energy are also making rapid progress. Except for "The Day the Demon Weeps", most of the cards have grown considerably, and even "The Day the Demon Weeps" has completed one-tenth of its energy collection.

From any perspective, it was a bountiful harvest of energy.

In particular, Amagi noticed that the card 【Vesas】 had begun to flicker with light, indicating that a new card would soon be obtained from the light.

Not only that, Hikaru Amagi even saw a brand new card: Super Rider Beetle Absolute Mighty Rhinoceros Beetle!
Hikaru Amagi was stunned when he saw it.

You can even get cards from the Link series—though they're Fusion Monsters.

But after being stunned, Hikaru Amagi was definitely more focused on the card itself.

Super Rider Beetle Absolute Mighty Rhinoceros Beetle, a Level 11, EARTH Insect-Type Fusion Monster, is unaffected by other card effects until the end of your next turn after its Fusion Summon. Furthermore, at the end of either player's Battle Phase, you can target 1 Insect-Type monster in your Graveyard with 3000 or less ATK; Special Summon that monster.

The effect of 2 is so-so, but the effect of 1 is still very useful in certain situations.

After all, 4000 attack and defense, and full resistance upon entering the battlefield, are very useful in many situations.

Furthermore, its fusion conditions are very lenient—it only requires 4 insectoid monsters.

Although Hikaru Amagi didn't have any cards specifically for the Insectoid race, this fusion material made her inwardly cheer.

Four insects—

What does that mean?
Although Hikaru Amagi's current mastery of Hyper Polymerization allows him to easily use some non-Polymer cards, he silently adheres to these "restrictions" for the sake of his hobby and his own beliefs.

Four Insectoids mean... Hikaru Amagi can play three Genesis Gs!!!
Exaggeration.

The fusion conditions alone are far superior to the "complete-state giant insect" that Amagi Hikaru created by directly attacking insect moths and draining their energy.

Although Hikaru Amagi has never seen anyone other than Vesas use "Proliferated G", it's better to be prepared than not, so it's good to have a reserve.

With plenty of time to spare, the group found an empty spot in Ella's world to sit and rest, quietly watching the world become increasingly "empty".

With Ella's death, the "tombstones" of this world slowly began to transform into orbs of light, rising one by one.

These beings from different eras, different countries, and different planets can finally find release and leave this world completely after Ella's death.

Their figures transformed into twinkling stars, waving to Hikaru and the others, and expressing their gratitude. After waves of thanks, the darkness of the world was gradually replaced by starlight, and the entire world transformed into a beautiful world like the starry sky.

As Amagi Hikaru watched them leave, he, who was already in a great mood because he had finally gotten rid of Isla, that stinky troublemaker, became even happier and said goodbye to them warmly.

After this "farewell," there will be new farewells.

They had to say goodbye to everyone in the Hyperdimension.

Once they leave this world and return to the human world, those from the Hyperdimensional Dimension will most likely have to leave the Synchro Dimension.

On one hand, Kaito has achieved his most important goal in coming to this world, and he wants to take Yuto back to the Xyz Dimension as soon as possible to have his father conduct a thorough physical examination.

Similarly, IV was also quite worried about his brother, and he also had to go back to tell his brother about their father, so he couldn't stay in the Synchro Dimension for long.

The one I'll probably miss the most is Yuma.

He was already quite young, the youngest among those present, and also the most emotional. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, he already considered himself good friends with Amagi Hikaru, Yusei, and the others, and he really couldn't bear to part with his friends whom he had only just met.

Seeing him like this, Amagi Hikaru couldn't help but laugh.

He remembered a phrase he had once said, which was very fitting for the present moment, yet somewhat hellish, but something he didn't want to happen.

“Yuma.” Hikaru Amagi closed his eyes and said as gently as possible, without any unnecessary emotion, “Life is always accompanied by farewells, so let’s start by… getting used to saying goodbye to us.”

"Hmm..." Yuma and Kotori Mizuki were both a little down, while the others were more stable.

But Amagi Hikaru's words weren't just directed at Yuma.

He looked around at the group of newly acquainted friends and slowly spoke again: "No matter what, I only hope that this parting is not a final farewell, and that we can all get together again at the next multi-dimensional joint exchange meeting."

"Yes!" Yusei and the others nodded in agreement.

Yuma wiped away his tears and nodded at Amagi Hikaru: "Yes!"

We were all complete strangers before, but we've gathered here for the same reason, the same enemy, facing the same foe, all for justice and hope.

This parting is not only because the matter has come to an end, but also because everyone has their own career, beliefs, desires, and future.

but--

No matter where you are.

As long as they share the same common ground, they will eventually have the opportunity to meet again.

That common point is... a duel!
As long as everyone aims to become the strongest duelist, then one day, we will meet again!
As the final farewell was spoken, the world slowly dissipated before everyone's eyes, and after a dragon's roar, the surroundings gradually returned to the state of the Synchro Dimension.

Unbeknownst to them, or perhaps under the power of the red dragon, they returned to the Synchro Dimension.

Upon their return, everyone saw Izayoi Aki, who had arrived last. She didn't know what had just happened, only that Yusei and the others had suddenly disappeared. Now, seeing Yusei return, she was filled with worry, fear, and excitement. She rushed up and hugged Yusei, burying her head in his chest and repeatedly saying, "Yusei, where did you go?"

Crowe and Jack exchanged a glance and smiled at each other. Crowe put his hands behind his head, and Jack silently followed him away.

They didn't talk about Yusei's "satisfaction" upon seeing the Gun King during the duel, because Yusei has always been so reserved and wouldn't easily reveal his thoughts to others.

Yuma invited IV to leave with him, but IV shook his head, saying that there were still many things to deal with in this base, and he would go find Yuma and the others later.

Of course--

There was one more thing: he also wanted to express his gratitude to Hikaru Amagi.

Although Hikaru Amagi didn't do anything extra, to IV, Hikaru Amagi rescued his father and dealt with the hateful Isla, making him his "benefactor".

Furthermore, Amagi Hikaru slightly alleviated the physical damage he suffered from the "desperate advancement," so he should at least express his sincere gratitude.

According to him, he can also help the 5DS team "connect" with other teams in the future, and he will also give special thanks to Hikaru Amagi.

However, Hikaru Amagi gently declined.

It's good to get in touch with this matter, but there's no need to express gratitude.

"If you really want to express your gratitude... please give me one of your cards."

"Huh?" IV was puzzled for the first time.

His cards all showed severe self-restraint, even more severe than the "excessive, synchronized, and integrated" self-restraint of Tiancheng and the other two.

But Hikaru Amagi smiled and said he didn't need to mind.

That's what integration is all about; inclusiveness is what he strives for.

"Mechanical Puppet - Nightmare... Hmm, here you go." IV didn't hesitate.

This wasn't an exceptionally rare card; it was just one of his own. He had several of them himself, and he felt a little embarrassed giving them to Amagi Hikaru as a token of his gratitude.

After all, the turn this thing is Special Summoned, after that turn you can only Special Summon Golem monsters.

To be honest, even if Amagi Hikaru wanted a "number card," he might have been able to find one for him, but the fact that he only wanted Nightmare was really baffling to him.

Perhaps it's a stepping stone.

But he didn't know that Amagi Hikaru showed a very satisfied expression after seeing the card.

Indeed, without this mark, the mark is incomplete.
