Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 708 A Brilliant Idea (4K)

After exhausting all their efforts and working tirelessly, leaving them breathless, 5DS finally managed to find a day to rest while communicating with the Fusion Dimension. Meanwhile, another person also wore a very satisfied smile.

Reiji Akaba, who was always serious and seemed mysterious and calm, gently pushed up his glasses, looked at the things in the laboratory, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ha ha……"

Of course.

Having spent over a month in the Synchro Dimension, he witnessed the most powerful duelists in that dimension and, through them, saw the sheer power of this world.

"God".

Regardless of which deity they are, they all possess immense power, capable of providing their chosen ones with sufficiently powerful cards to guide them on their journey.

This supernatural power is unmatched by firearms or warships. Even the worst-performing chosen one of the gods can easily accomplish all sorts of terrifying things.

This put him under a lot of pressure.

Although he knew a deity named "Sophia," he could never understand or accept the deity's thoughts.

In particular, when Reiji Akaba learned of her true thoughts—that is, to restart the world and let humanity, which does not protect the environment, start over—he became even more wary of Sophia.

To this day, he has not learned or used the ritual cards, and that is why.

Although the duel between Sofia and Tierra recently revealed some more details about their thoughts, it will not affect Akama Reiji's personal judgment.

The gods...are powerful.

Even gods are in danger!
For those in their "basic dimension" who have no "mystery" whatsoever and no gods, everyone is dangerous!

He could never accept placing the vague and uncertain future onto a so-called god who did not belong to their world and was not particularly friendly to humanity.

Without the power to communicate with the strong, one cannot survive in the future world.

If their world continues to rely solely on the outside world, then one day, they will become easy prey in the eyes of other worlds!

In any case, these kinds of things require prior planning and experimentation.

And he... just happened to have that opportunity.

Despite his great anxiety and doubts before the experiment, the perfect results made him smile.

really.

The "perpetual motion machine" technology of this world, combined with the "physical image" technology of its own world, is extremely powerful.

He looked at the mechanical dragon in the laboratory and nodded silently.

Some time ago, he obtained a special "perpetual motion machine" from President Godwin. It was a perpetual motion machine that could operate directly, generate energy, and store it. During this time, while Yuya and his friends were participating in the competition, Reiji Akaba used this perpetual motion machine to recover the energy generated by the D-Wheel for his own experiments.

Although Reiji Akaba had a strong sense of unease when he obtained the perpetual motion machine, after watching the duel between Tiera and Sofia, this unease was replaced by an even greater sense of crisis.

No matter where the unease comes from, one's own world must have sufficient strength.

Otherwise, how would they deal with a terrifying being like Sophia, who could destroy a mountain with a flick of her wrist?
Reiji Akama looked at the creations inside the laboratory.

Inside the laboratory, there is a huge mechanical dragon that occupies almost half of the space.

Its body is entirely black, with some silvery-white luster, and its mechanical texture is very beautiful and full of grandeur.

Their unique "physical image technology" can turn images into physical objects that can be touched and ridden. However, due to insufficient energy, it cannot be applied to many places in most cases. It is mostly used to create things like balloons in duels to make the duels more interesting.

Although physical imaging technology can directly transform into tanks and airplanes, energy has always been a problem in their world.

No matter how powerful a creation is, if it lacks energy, it cannot be reproduced using physical imaging technology, and it cannot be maintained for a long time.

but--

With the help of the "perpetual motion machine," these problems are solved in an instant.

The thing in the lab is the result of Akama Reiji's experiments over this period of time!

A physical mechanical dragon!

It is an existence created entirely using physical imaging technology, without relying on intelligence, mechanical knowledge, or any other "technology," but solely on physical imaging technology!

Relying solely on physical imaging technology, one can modify all things in the universe and directly create a "pseudo-god machine" that one has painstakingly crafted before, even more powerful and perfect than the previous pseudo-god machine!

This is physical imaging technology with ample energy!
“Our world truly holds countless treasures.” He gently pushed up his glasses.

This self-made second-generation pseudo-god machine not only possesses all the abilities of the previous pseudo-god machine, but can also temporarily use many of the world's card decks during duels through the ability of physical images. More importantly, it is slimmer than the prototype pseudo-god machine, requires less energy, and can operate for a longer period of time.

And through such evolution, it has become even stronger!

That is the ability to withstand blows!

The original simulated god machine couldn't withstand Sophia's attacks for very long, but this new simulated god machine, according to his calculations, can not only withstand Sophia's attacks, but more importantly, its endurance is also very strong. It can replicate more powerful cards, giving it a considerable advantage whether used as an electronic AI for practice or in actual combat.

It can be said to be a complete evolution!

Under such circumstances, it's only natural that Reiji Akaba would laugh out loud.

After all, without needing to use one's brain or expending resources, one can create a pseudo-god machine simply by riding and dueling. Even if it is not as good as a real god, if it can be mass-produced, it can still maintain one's own world to a certain extent.

but--

not enough.

Akama Reiji sighed.

Compared to other worlds, our world started far too late.

although……

Yuya Sakaki performed exceptionally well in this duel, even managing to fuse a powerful Fusion Monster called "Odd-Eyes Wind and Thunder Dragon"—a genuine Fusion Monster.

That was a genuine "fusion." Yuya Sakaki used Hikaru Amagi's pendulum fusion to create a fusion beyond what they could use in their dimensional duel, summoning a monster with true fusion powers. Based on this alone, Yuya Sakaki did not disappoint his expectations.

but--

not enough.

In the end, it was only Yuya Sakaki.

The others, even Noboru Kakuzuka and Yuzu Hiiragi, performed only moderately well, not to mention the other contestants. Masumi Mitsutsu, who also received a card from Hikaru Amagi, completely lacked the performance of Yuya Sakaki.

Expecting people in your own world to suddenly develop extraordinary abilities and gain power comparable to those in other dimensions is simply wishful thinking.

Putting everything else aside, in that duel between the Despair Team and 5DS and Xyz Team a few days ago, he dared to say that no one on his side could beat that Shadow of Rumors.

Even if Wind and Shadow lacked the wisdom of any duelist and only summoned the Champion of Heroes to destroy the Gun King, it would still be the same!

In this situation, even knowing that using perpetual motion machines and physical imaging technology is extremely dangerous, he still had to try it.

He gently pushed up his glasses.

Fortunately, he has already voluntarily forfeited, giving up the upcoming duel. Yuya and the others can still find people in this dimension to spar, duel, and learn from. However, he can also return to the basic dimension sooner and try to use his knowledge beyond physical image technology to create a more advanced pseudo-god machine.

While mere "delusion" is useful, to take the pseudo-god machine to the next level, we still need genuine calculations and scientific research.

This version of the pseudo-god is far from enough. Even if it can't compare to a real god, it should at least be able to withstand a god, instead of simply being a grunt.

After returning to his own dimension, he plans to promote speed duels, a free-form combat style that is not only full of the passion of speed but also quite "violent." It should be very easy to promote to people in his own dimension who enjoy entertainment and pursue happiness.

[Yes, that's right. 】

A voice seemed to echo in Akama Reiji's mind.

"Ugh--"

He shook his head.

Or is it that I'm just too exhausted lately, or is it that with Sophia's departure, I no longer have anyone to refer to, and I'm starting to become suspicious and uneasy?

Recently, this voice has been frequently appearing in his mind. At first listen, it sounds a bit like Sophia, but upon closer listening, it is not the sacred goddess voice of Sophia at all. It sounds more like a male voice. Listening even more carefully, it feels as if he is talking to himself.

This is what is known as one's inner voice.

He looked at the enormous mechanical dragon inside the laboratory.

The mechanical dragon's figure is slowly disappearing.

It's about time.

Akama Reiji nodded.

Although it is possible to create such a level of existence purely through virtual image technology, it is still a forced creation without any technical content or skill, and therefore cannot be maintained permanently.

Only by achieving true "infinite energy" to generate "infinite mass" can one truly create a "god".

Otherwise, it will forever remain a "pseudo-divine machine".

Fortunately, he didn't necessarily want to create a real god to help their world. He just wanted the people in their world and the Pendulum to get by with the pseudo-god machine until they grew strong enough to compete with the people and summoning methods of other worlds.

The figure of the pseudo-divine machine slowly dissipated, leaving only a faint, ethereal shadow that still proclaimed its existence.

"But then again."

Although it is not really necessary to create a "god", things have come to this point, and it is necessary to create a sufficiently powerful pseudo-god machine.

Those mass-produced pseudo-god machines intended for future use as support are not worth mentioning; they don't require special documentation.

But in this situation, is it too cold to call his real target "the pseudo-divine machine"?
He pushed up his glasses.

He knew how important a name was to him as a student, scholar, company president, scientist, and duelist.

So, what should we call it?

He closed his eyes and reminisced about the past.

Yuya Sakaki's father, Yusho Sakaki, was his mentor and the one who inspired him to resist and rebel against Rei-Oh Akaba. The actions and failures he and Rei-Oh Akaba took in their pursuit of a better future were silently recorded in his heart.

I wonder if Senior Yusho Sakaki found Rei-Oh Akaba or any useful information.

"Oh……!"

He remembered, he remembered a great being.

That "hero" who once betrayed his colleagues and destroyed the "GOD" experiment that Sakaki Yuuka-senpai didn't want to mention again, saving their dimensional past.

He looked at the enormous dragon shadow.

He pursed his lips slightly, pressed his right fingers against his forehead, and pondered carefully.

With-

His eyes lit up, and he pointed his thumb forward as if lights or light bulbs appeared beside him.

Eh!
He had a brilliant idea.

"In that case, let's call him... [Zack]." Let's use this name to commemorate the great hero who once existed!

As soon as Chima Ling'er finished speaking, the eyes of the phantom dragon seemed to flash with light, slowly transforming from a "man-made" being into a being with "spirituality," and it even roared on the spot.

Akama Reiji was stunned by what he saw.

It can actually react to what I'm saying?

Soon after, he chuckled softly.

really!

My own experiments and attempts were all correct!

Amidst this immense joy and laughter, the dragon's phantom vanished completely, turning into nothingness.

However, Akama Reiji's heart was even more resolute and certain than before.

His path and choices were absolutely correct!

Thus, amidst excitement and laughter, Lion Company's next goals and operational strategies were finalized.

To promote DT Dimension cards more vigorously, to develop duelists for Swift Duel, and, privately...

Zack's Creations and Experiments!

While Reiji Akaba was excitedly conducting his experiment, Hikaru Amagi and the others arrived at the location of the fused dimension.

"Wow! Yusei!! Long time no see!!"

"Jūdai, it's been a long time."

Yusei smiled and greeted Jaden, who was waving excitedly at him. Then, Hikaru Amagi came out from behind pushing a bunch of things, with Jack and Crow helping out.

"What is this, Amagi?" Manjoume asked.

"I had some really interesting snacks in this dimension, so I wanted to show them to everyone," Hikaru Amagi replied with a smile.

Hikaru Amagi has lived in the Synchro Dimension for about half a year now, and he has some impressions of the local delicacies. Although he doesn't care much about what he eats, these are all delicious snacks that Tiera has recognized. Hikaru has tried them and they are quite suitable for gatherings with friends.

Compared to other teams, communicating with Fusion Dimension is not a problem for Team 5DS at all, but a rare time to rest!
Since that's the case, then of course we should have a blast with everyone!
Beyond duelists and chosen ones, beyond all of these, Hikaru Amagi has another identity: a friend of friends and a student of teachers. This is the most important aspect of his being a "human being."

Because, long ago, Yusei was already connected with the people of this world.

Amagi Hikaru had become friends with him a long time ago.

As Hikaru Amagi instantly integrated into the fusion dimension's group, everyone welcomed his return, either teasing him about his previous duel with Tierra or pretending to complain while actually worrying about his intense duels with Team 5DS. Yusei silently curled the corners of his mouth.

This is... the view he wanted to see.

That day, that exchange between the Synchro Dimension and the Fusion Dimension, was the scene he cherished most.

The image of a person whom everyone trusts and supports, regardless of background, ideology, age, race, or even whether they are human or not.

The world he longed to create was just like this.
