Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 716 I've wanted to do this for a long time (1.1 views, please vote)
The meeting was scheduled for two days later, which was one of the earlier days in the final week of the WRGP restart.

Hikaru Amagi arrived at the Pendulum Dimension's base. Since they were already preparing to leave, the place seemed rather empty, and all the equipment that had been moved there earlier had already been taken away.

The man in the black suit at the entrance immediately bowed and greeted Hikaru Amagi, then led him the way. Soon after, Hikaru saw Yuya Sakaki and his group, including the Lion Academy trio and the Yushojuku trio.

Amagi Hikaru looked left and right, but still couldn't see Akama Reiji.

"Mr. Amagi!" The first to greet Amagi Hikaru was Mitsutsu Masumi, while the two students beside her were not very friendly. They seemed to be both unconvinced and unable to find a reason, and just kept grumbling.

Amagi Hikaru returned the greeting, then noticed Sakaki Yuya's eager expression.

During this period, he fought against many duelists, and overall his results were quite good—he never lost.

However, despite this, whenever he thought of Yugi Muto in his dreams, he would always compare them again.

not enough.

Still not enough.

Yugi Muto's confident, casual, and inquisitive dueling style remains unforgettable to him. As Yuya Sakaki grows, Yugi Muto's exploration of the "known" and "unknown" aspects of dueling increasingly amazes him.

Previously, he only knew that Yugi Muto was strong.

He now understands that Yugi Muto's "strength" is on a completely different level from most duelists.

That's why he didn't become complacent.

After all, you can't just laugh it off at the foot of a mountain if you want to catch up with it.

Unfortunately, because their team's overall performance in this WRGP tournament was not very good, they were unable to continue competing against other teams, which left Yuya Sakaki somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, he remembered Amagi Hikaru, whom he had met once before.

If it were him, he would probably be very willing to duel with himself, right?

That's what he thought.

He knew about 5DS's recent duels throughout the city, and he'd watched the entire super battle between 5DS and Despair a while back. He wasn't very confident he could contact them. Therefore, he didn't have high hopes for success, but unexpectedly, he succeeded on the first try!

"Long time no see, everyone!" Hikaru Amagi greeted everyone with a smile. He was always kind to people, and now that the more annoying people had all disappeared, he was in a very good mood, so he seemed very friendly.

Backstage, Reiji Akaba adjusted his glasses, watched Hikaru Amagi and Yuya Sakaki chatting, and calmly adjusted the equipment a few times.

Although he had been adjusting the data of "Zack 1" during this time, he was not ignoring the situation of his own team. The invitation that Yuya Sakaki extended to Hikaru Amagi was also done under his watchful eye.

For him, this was a business opportunity that was almost risk-free and highly profitable.

During this period, the person who grew the most in terms of dimensions was undoubtedly Yuya Sakaki.

But to what extent has this growth reached?
How does it compare to the top duelists from other dimensions?

He thought that this duel would be a good opportunity for people in his dimension to realize the differences between their dimension and those of other dimensions.

Not only that.

Akama Reiji looked at the data in front of him.

This duel can also be used to collect data on the world's top "fusion" techniques, which is not bad.

After exchanging pleasantries, they didn't waste any more time and went straight into the duel.

"I'll leave the first strike to you." Amagi Hikaru crossed his arms and looked at his opponent.

Regardless, this duel was initiated by Yuya Sakaki, and he was very curious about how far Yuya Sakaki had progressed.

“Alright!” Sakaki Yuya replied without hesitation.

"Duel!" X2.
Sakaki Yuya, LP: 4000.
Amagi Hikaru, LP: 4000.
"Go for it, Yuya!!" Yuzu Hiiragi cheered him on.

"Don't embarrass yourself, Yuya Sakaki!!" The two Toudou tried their best to support Yuya Sakaki.

"Show your backbone, Yuya!" Noboru Kakunosaka also cheered on his friend.

“Ah, I understand!” Yuya Sakaki nodded. “I’ll attack first, my turn—”

"I've set the Water Sprinkler Mammoth, the entertainment companion at scale 4, to the pendulum scale!"

Rainbows flashed, and in the sky, the pendulum of the soul began to swing, and individual numbers flew up.

"A single pendulum scale?" Shijima Hokuto's vision went black when he saw this.

"What's going on, Yuya Sakaki? Don't embarrass yourself like this right from the start!" Toudou Jin couldn't help but get annoyed at the sight.

Why put only one scale sheet at the beginning?
Everyone knows that to perform a Pendulum Summon, you need at least 2 Pendulum Cards!
"Hahaha~~ Don't worry, Shijima, Toudou, you'll soon witness the wonders of magic!" Sakaki Yuya raised his hands high, beckoning to his companions, "Next up is a card counting magic trick~"

"I activate the Field Spell Card, Rainbow in the Sky!"

The enormous stage lights slowly illuminated behind Yuya Sakaki, and a dragon swiftly swept across the darkness, its eyes flashing different colors.

"This card can be targeted by 1 face-up card you control. Destroy that card, and add 1 Odd-Eyes card from your Deck to your hand! I destroyed the Scale 4 Entertainment Partner Sprinkler Mammoth on the field, and added Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from my Deck to my hand!"

"Next, I set the pendulum scale for the Magician of Wisdom at scale 5 and the Magician of the Scoundrel at scale 2!"

hum-

hum-

Number replacement.

A crimson 5 and a bright 2 rise in two pillars of light.

"Summon a level 3 or 4 monster?" Yuzu Hiiragi was slightly puzzled.

Starting like this is a bit of a loss.

"At this moment, I can activate the effect of 'Magician of Insight' on the field. This effect can only be activated if there is a Magician Card or a Entertainment Partner Card in my other Pendulum Zone. Destroy this card, and place 1 Magician Pendulum Monster other than 'Magician of Insight' from your Deck into your Pendulum Zone." Yuya Sakaki smiled brightly, pointing his left hand to the sky, "Come on, my magicians!"

"Huh?" Daotangren noticed something different.

Is this a way of constantly destroying your own cards?

"I've set the 8-scale Time Reading Magician in my deck to Pendulum Scale!"

"This way, I can perform pendulum summons from level 7 to level 3 simultaneously!"

"Come forth! Sway of the sky!"

Yuya Sakaki's eyes gleamed: "I'm going to Pendulum Summon a Level 4 Magician with Insightful Eyes, a Level 6 Amusement Partner Sprinkler Mammoth, and a Level 7 Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from my Extra Deck at the same time!"

shhhhh--

Three beams of light shot out from the starlight hole that suddenly appeared in the sky and landed on the ground.

"This is..." Mitsutsu Masumi realized the key point. "I understand. By utilizing the properties of Pendulum Monsters, we can place Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zone, then destroy them to retrieve them, and then painlessly return them to the field through Pendulum Summoning, allowing for infinite reuse!"
So... I see, this is the core tactic of Pendulum Summoning!?

This move not only shocked Mitsutsu Masumi, but also surprised the other Pendulum Dimension members present, who realized the other applications of the pendulum.

Even Amagi Hikaru couldn't help but nod in agreement at this moment.

It's pretty good.

The constant destruction and retrieval were indeed what he recognized as pendulum summoning.

"It's not over yet! Let's activate the water-spraying mammoth effect with our entertainment partners on the field!"
One duel, activated during your Main Phase. Send the Fusion Materials from a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster Card to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck!
I fused a level 7 Heterochromatic Pendulum Dragon with a level 4 Magician with Insightful Eyes!
The fusion requirements are one Odd-Eyed Monster and one Pendulum Monster!

On Yuya Sakaki's field, a fierce wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and soon, a huge green dragon with different colored eyes and a massive body flew out of the darkness.

Heterochromatic Wind Thunder Dragon, Level 7, Wind Attribute, Dragon Race, Defense 3000.
"Odd-Eyes Wind and Thunder Dragon." Tierra saw this card appear and suddenly remembered, "Isn't this the one that suddenly appeared in your deck a while ago?"

Amagi Hikaru nodded.

Previously, Hikaru Amagi gave his "Pendulum Fusion" to Yuya Sakaki, and told him that if he used that card, he might share his power when the fusion was successful—after all, this card was used by Hikaru Amagi to research Pendulum Monster Fusion.

But Yuya Sakaki didn't hold back; on the contrary, he used the card openly—because Yuya Sakaki only wanted to see the view from above.

"It's not over yet. Activate the effect of Magician Dragon on the field. This can only be activated if there is a Magician Card in the other Pendulum Zone. Add 1 face-up Magician Pendulum Monster or Odd-Eyes Pendulum Monster other than Magician Dragon from your Extra Deck to your hand. I add Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to my hand, and then—Spell Card, Fusion!"

Fusion!?
Many people were shocked.

This is the original, standard version of a magic card, the most authentic Fusion!
Yuya Sakaki was very excited when he activated this card, as if he had wanted to do it for a long time.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at fusion." Hikaru Amagi couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Sakaki Yuya was a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head slightly and then said awkwardly, "I only found out later that Mr. Yugi is from the Fusion Dimension. Although I haven't seen him use Fusion in the duel, I think... learning Fusion can't be wrong, right? And, just like he said, Pendulum and Fusion are a perfect match."

Hikaru Amagi nodded.

Indeed, without a link, the most suitable summoning methods for pendulum monsters are obviously Fusion Summoning and Synchro Summoning, because when using these two summoning methods, the pendulum monsters on the field will directly enter the Extra Deck and can be recycled again in the next turn.

"However, it would be a pity to know the 'how' but not the 'why'."

"Uh—what do you mean?"

“I know you admire Mr. Game, which is why you study dueling even harder. But this admiration comes from someone else, not from yourself. Including the recreational duels you mentioned before, those are all other people’s.” Hikaru Amagi continued to explain, “Borrowed beliefs may make you a powerful duelist, but… they can never make you the ‘powerful you’.”

"Uh..." Yuya was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Amagi Hikaru was talking about.

After speaking, Hikaru Amagi realized that he had made a mistake.

It's not that the statement is wrong, but rather that he also brought in his impression of Yuya Sakaki from "Yu-Gi-Oh! A5".

There was no way around it; the words "entertainment duel" were simply too terrifying and exaggerated for Yu-Gi-Oh! viewers.

But the Sakaki Yuya that Amagi Hikaru is facing isn't actually that bad.

On one hand, it seems that due to the different foundations of the world, the Sakaki Yuu-katsu in this world still has some of the characteristics of his "manga" version. Similarly, although Sakaki Yuya is not the Sakaki Yuya in the manga, he is obviously of a higher quality than the anime version.

On the other hand, before everything began, Yuya Sakaki encountered Yugi Muto, which gave him a completely different experience at the start of the game, and his performance was also different.

Just that one sentence he said to Hikaru Amagi, "A duelist must at least be a duelist," was enough to make Hikaru Amagi laugh. It was much more effective than any entertainment duel.

“【The powerful me】…” Sakaki Yuya’s eyes glazed over slightly when he heard this term.

Although everything is still unclear, these four words are definitely correct.

To become one of the strongest duelists, you absolutely cannot succeed by borrowing beliefs from others, unless... you can awaken to and understand your own beliefs on this basis.

But as of now, Yuya Sakaki doesn't know.

He shook his head.

Wasn't he only challenging Senior Amagi to a duel because he wanted to climb to the next level?
"In short, magic cards, fusion."

I'm fusing my Playful Buddy Water Sprayer Mammoth with the Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon from my hand!

"The fusion conditions are a monster with heterochromia and a companion monster!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 8, Entertainment Partner: Heterochromatic Steelclaw Wolf!"

"Ouch————"

The heterochromatic-eyed Pendulum Dragon slowly split apart, transforming into armor that attached itself to a monster that was an entertainment companion. A moment later, the mammoth disappeared, and a Garurumon standing upright roared onto the scene.

Entertainment Partner: Heterochromatic Steel Claw Wolf, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 3000.
Entertainment Partner Sprinkler Mammoth returned to the Extra Deck, while on the other hand, because it was a hand fusion, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon could not enter the Extra Deck and could only go to the Graveyard.

"Odd-Eyes Steelclaw Wolf summoned by the effect of Fusion is unaffected by the effects of other cards."

A team with one tank and one all-resistance unit is actually quite good, and it doesn't consume many resources. It can also be recycled again in the next turn using a pendulum summon. The only problem might be that the fusion effect of the Water Sprinkler Mammoth is only available once per duel, so it cannot be fused repeatedly.

"End turn."

“It’s pretty good.” Hikaru Amagi spread his hands and said, “Even in my world, there are relatively few duelists of the same age who can perform two fusions in the same round and both fusions produce very good results.”

Even my classmates rarely manage to do that.

Most people's fusions are quite resource-intensive, and multiple fusions that can be reused are actually quite rare. Apart from Amagi Hikaru's friends, there are very few people who can fuse as quickly as this.

Of course, compared to someone who is truly skilled in fusion summoning, Yuya Sakaki is far inferior.

Simply put, he's better off than most, but not as good as the rest. Meeting Amagi Hikaru was like meeting the right person.

"Uh—really?"

"Of course, you're very talented, Yuya," Hikaru Amagi said with a smile. "I watched your first duel. Back then, you were still using Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Trap Cards to duel against duelists from this dimension."

Hmm—very much like Mr. Game's style.

Yuya scratched his head sheepishly.

At that time, he particularly admired Yugi Muto and wanted to become stronger, so he took the initiative to learn Yugi Muto's dueling style and filled his deck with all sorts of traps.

Because the pendulum monsters in the front row can be revived, and the traps in the back row can successfully hinder or even interfere with the pendulum summoner, it is a huge advantage for him, so he thinks it is very suitable.

But after fighting for a while, he gave up the duel.

It's not that this kind of duel is bad, but he realized that his opponent rarely managed to laugh.

This made him realize that this was not the duel he wanted.

Although he and his teammates were laughing very happily, he knew that this was definitely not the kind of "entertainment" he wanted.

He wanted to make everyone laugh!

This is what a...entertainment duel should be like!
Unfortunately, he's far from being able to engage in even a proper duel, let alone a casual one.

"So that's how it is?" Out of curiosity, Hikaru Amagi asked, and after hearing about Yuya Sakaki's experience, he couldn't help but nod.

“Amazing, truly amazing…” Amagi Hikaru exclaimed. “Few duelists are able to stop their tactics and change them when they find a fighting style that is effective and has a high win rate, and keep exploring new ones.”

Are we having a fun duel...?

"Sakaki Yuya, I have met your father before."

!! ?
Yuya Sakaki's eyes widened.

"Huh?" Hiiragi Yuzu and Kenjiro Saka couldn't help but get up and move closer.

Even Akaba Reiji, who was observing the data, instantly looked up at the dueling arena.

He actually—had met Sakaki Yukatsu?

"You...you've seen my father???" Yuya was shocked, then panicked and instinctively asked, "Where? Where did he go? My...and my mother miss him so much!"

When faced with his father's issues, this boy, who had grown up a lot, seemed to be brought back to his original state all at once, without any composure.

Hikaru Amagi shook his head inwardly, but he wasn't angry.

He could understand Yuya Sakaki's bad mood.

In the original work, he was surrounded by almost endless malice, and only the "smiling world" given to him by his mother sustained him.

Even if he encounters Yugi Muto and others in this world, deep down, a boy will still hope to see his father and gain his approval.

Hikaru Amagi raised his hand, signaling Yuya Sakaki not to rush: "My senior, Fubuki Tenjouin, and her friend, Asuka Tenjouin, went on a trip during their vacation and happened to run into Senior Yukatsu Sakaki. I've also inquired about him recently, and he is your father, right?"
I think even if I don't say it, you can understand how nervous the person in charge would be if they suddenly saw unauthorized extradimensional stowaways from another dimension appearing in a civilian area.

“Um…uh…” Sakaki Yuya did not refute.

With the Despair Team ahead of him, he could immediately understand the concerns of other dimensions.

"However, your father did not cause any panic. He performed entertaining duels in the streets, mingling with children and adults alike, relying on his smile and exciting duels."

call--

Yuya Sakaki breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing where Father is is good.

"But even duelists like that carry a lot of responsibility, don't they?"

"Responsibility?" Upon hearing this word, Yuya Sakaki felt inexplicably angry.

Abandoning her mother and herself, disappearing without explanation—can that be called "responsibility"?
Hikaru Amagi spread his hands and said, "This should be taken for granted. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to be an entertainment duelist in your world? Why would he appear in our world?"

Furthermore, Fubuki-senpai also told me that Mr. Sakaki Yukatsu has been searching for some kind of "hidden malice."

Hidden malice!
“In my dimension, there exists an evil warlord force called the Fusion Army,” Amagi Hikaru said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Akama Reiji quickly raised his voice and listened carefully.

“Their ruler, King Akama Zero, is a force that uses fusion, manipulates fusion, and aims to rule all dimensions by attacking other dimensions—you’ve seen that before, haven’t you? The people of the Hyperdimension are very hostile to us people of the Fusion Dimension,” Hikaru Amagi continued. “That’s because of the Fusion Army.”

Upon hearing this, Yuya Sakaki suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out to be the case.

That's it...

No wonder the Xyz Dimension and the Fusion Dimension are separated so far by the City Hall. "Although I later defeated the Fusion Army professor, remnants of the Fusion Army still exist. Perhaps that's what he was investigating?" Hikaru Amagi said, analyzing as he spoke.

The professor was defeated!!

Is that even possible?!
Akama Reiji's pupils contracted in disbelief.

Is this real, or... a lie told by the dimensional fusion beings!?
This needs to be verified!

If it's true, then it would be an incredibly good thing for their dimension!
As for whether his own father lived or not?

I don't care.

"For his family, or for his country, or for the world, he shoulders responsibility, wears a smile in other dimensions, and silently carries out his work..." Hikaru Amagi said, shaking his head and smiling. "I think, for him, his [Entertainment Duel] is about bearing responsibility and facing the world with a smile, right?"

Bear the responsibility, and face the world with a smile!
Yuya Sakaki's breathing became somewhat rapid.

if it is like this.

If that's the case!

He looked very excited.

Hikaru Amagi's smile became even more pronounced.

In fact, he didn't know what Sakaki Yukatsu was thinking. He should have already found out about Akaba Zero, so why was he still lingering in their dimension?

But it is not important.

Sakaki Yuusho didn't really cause any trouble; he just performed duels in their dimension every day, incidentally spreading entertainment about duels. He was indeed investigating something, but what did that have to do with Amagi Hikaru?
What he cares about is the opponent he is dueling with.

It is Yuya Sakaki, the duelist who is searching for a way forward!
Even if the two of them meet in the future and confront each other, and clarify what happened today, if Sakaki Yuuya doesn't hear what he wants to hear from his father, then it's his father's fault.

"...Thank you for comforting me, Amagi-nii." After his initial excitement and agitation, Yuya Sakaki took two deep breaths and then said slowly.

He could hear the comfort in Amagi Hikaru's words, and he also knew very well that Amagi Hikaru was just Amagi Hikaru, and could never know exactly what his father was thinking. But to him, hearing that his father was safe was already very good.

"Please continue the duel and begin your turn!" Yuya Sakaki said excitedly.

"Ha—good!"

Hikaru Amagi drew a card from his deck at lightning speed: "You should have seen me use Pendulum Monsters for Fusion, so I won't waste time showing you that here—besides, you've already done it yourself."

Sakaki Yuya nodded.

He successfully fused with the Wind and Thunder Dragon using the "Pendulum Fusion" technique he obtained from Amagi Hikaru.

Now, Hikaru Amagi obviously knows about this too.

"My understanding of the Pendulum is that it's a card that assists me in fusion, because for my duels, everything must serve the purpose of fusion!"

"But you are different. Right now, you have only taken the first step in pendulum and fusion. Before you, there may be pendulum and harmony, pendulum and Xyz. These... obviously, I cannot teach you."

but! "

Hikaru Amagi raised the card in his hand: "The path of fusion is much longer than you can imagine—let me show you the ultimate fusion that I pursue, a fusion that has no end."

Yuya. "

"Okay, okay!" Sakaki Yuya's voice trembled with excitement.

Not far away, Mitsu Masumi couldn't help but swallow hard, watching curiously as Amagi Hikaru was about to use a card.

Hikaru Amagi flipped over a card in her hand and said, "Yaya, from now on, I... will only use [Fusion]."

Only know how to use fusion?

What does it mean?
"Magic Card, Fusion Born!"

"This card can send the top 5 cards of your deck to the Graveyard. If any of them contain Fusion Materials, you can Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster directly!"

So strong! !
Yuya Sakaki quickly raised his hand: "Wait, I'm activating the effect of Odd-Eyes Wind and Thunder Dragon. It can be activated once per turn when the effects, spells, or trap cards other than this card are activated. Return 1 face-up Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck to the Deck, negate that activation, and destroy it."

"I return the Amusement Partner Spraying Mammoth from my Extra Deck to the Deck to negate the activation of this card!"

The light born from the fusion didn't even last half a second before the card vanished under a barrage of thunder.

"That was close!"

“Based on what I know about Amagi-senpai, anything could happen if those five cards were used. Yuya was right to stop it.” Noboru Kakunosaka nodded hurriedly.

The others who had been watching couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They felt incredibly nervous as soon as the card was presented.

But unexpectedly—

Hikaru Amagi's next card is here!
"Spell Card: Shaddoll Fusion!"

Hikaru Amagi flung the cards from her hand with a swift motion: "This card can be Fusion Summoned from your hand or field by Fusion Summoning one Shaddoll Fusion Monster. If your opponent controls a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, this card can be Fusion Summoned using materials from their Deck!"

Deck Fusion!

Yuya Sakaki's eyes widened.

“Fusion Summoning requires a lot of materials, so it not only needs resources, but also corresponding tactics.” Hikaru Amagi explained softly while operating the device. “You’ve used the characteristics of Pendulum Summoning to perform two Fusion Summons, which is indeed a very rare ability.”

but--

There's no need for that.

There's no need for that!
"If you're fond of fusion, then use fusion; if you believe in resonance, then use synchronization; if you're obsessed with the power of the soul, then go for Xyz. Pendulum Summoning—there's definitely a tactic for you. Your fusion is certainly much stronger than that of ordinary duelists, and you can even generate some fusion resonance. But... against a duelist like me... heh. The difference is too great."

Yuya Sakaki stared at Hikaru Amagi in disbelief, while Masumi Mitsutsu, standing beside him, also perked up her ears. In fact, it wasn't just them; Yuzu Hiiragi, who used fusion summoning, and Noboru Kakunosaka, who firmly believed in not using magic and traps, also focused their attention, listening intently and desperately to what Hikaru Amagi was saying.

"You used up all your cards in order to complete two fusions. You can Special Summon the materials back with a Pendulum Summon next turn, but the missing cards won't come back. Next turn, you'll only have the card you drew to start your strategy again. What should you do in that situation?"

"This issue actually revolves around Fusion Duelists, so you'll find... that duelists in our dimension are increasingly fond of using this kind of magic card." Amagi Hikaru raised the Shaddoll Fusion in his hand.

Not only him, but all the duelists in the Fusion Dimension, including Jaden, are gradually converging on the same path, searching for and collecting "Deck Fusion".

Because they are all aware of this.

While they haven't been at a disadvantage in duels against other dimensions, compared to the ease with which other decks can summon resources and trump cards, the thought of gathering materials is rarely on the minds of top duelists in their dimension anymore.

Even Caesar only uses his hand to fuse when he has a larger hand size.

"I'm sending Shaddoll Dragon and Zygarde Mariner Rosemary from my deck to the graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 8, Shadowdance Nephilim!"

Beside Hikaru Amagi, a cute blue-haired girl waved a small flag, cheering him on—it was the third stage form of the "Growing Bulb," which had recently successfully evolved again and had completely turned into rosemary.

Shadowy Nephilim, Level 8, Light attribute, Angel race, Attack power 2800.
"Shadow Dragon's effect: Destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field. I destroy your rainbow in the sky. Rosemary's effect: Send 1 Level 5 or lower Plant-Type monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Nephilim's effect: Send 1 Shadow Card from your Deck to the Graveyard."

I took the Shaddoll hedgehog to the cemetery, and I took the hornet that preys on plants to the cemetery.

boom--

The rainbow surrounding the duel arena collapsed with a crash, and then two monsters were sent from Amagi Hikaru's deck to the graveyard.

"The effect of Glandular Wasp can only be activated when this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add other predatory plants from your Deck to your hand; similarly, Shaddoll Hedgehog has a similar effect, so I add Shaddoll Falcon from my Deck to my hand."

Hikaru Amagi casually added Shaddoll Falcon and the predatory plant Slime Mantis to his hand.

"See? My hand cards haven't been used up, they've actually increased." Amagi Hikaru showed off his hand cards.

“This…” Sakaki Yuya gradually figured some things out as well.

"In fact, that's how you play it. You keep destroying Pendulum Monsters, then collect more Pendulum Monsters and Special Summon them all at once from the Extra Deck. But clearly—you're not pushing it to the limit!"

boom!
Like a grand and resounding bell, Yuya Sakaki suddenly understood.

Extreme!

The ultimate!!
The path of a duelist is one he must walk himself, and the most important thing to achieve is to be the best!
Walk a road to its end.

Mr. Gamer is like that, and so is Senior Amagi in front of me!
He is on the path to ultimate integration!
His understanding of integration surpasses that of everyone else.

and so--

He is truly hailed as the "Strongest Fusion User"!
Therefore, he is the undisputed strongest Fusionist of the Fusion Dimension—not even Mr. Game! Only he is!!
and so……

He looked at his card.

It's not just about integration, it's about... going even further!
Pendulum Fusion?

Pendulum Fusion Monster Card!
Although it's a fusion, it's still a Pendulum Monster!

This is what it means—

"Magic Card, Bright Fusion!"

"Oh no, Yuya!" Yuzu Hiiragi, who had seen the card before, and Masumi Mitsutsu, who had used the card, exclaimed at the same time.

How can Senior Amagi's weapon be so terrifying!
"Send the Gem Knight Quartz, Gem Knight Raphire, and Gem Knight Crystal from the deck to the graveyard for Fusion Summoning!"

“This is…” Mitsutsu Masumi opened her mouth wide.

"The fusion requirement is 3 Jewel Knight Monsters!"

"Alright, it's your turn to go on stage!"

"Level 10, Gem Knight Lady - Diamond!"

The dazzling female knight, adorned with sparkling diamonds, makes her grand entrance!

Gem Knight Lady - Diamond, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Rock Race, Attack Power 3400 → 0.
“The attack power of the Jewel Knight monster created by Bright Fusion will become zero, but…” Mitsu Masumi looked at Hikaru Amagi’s grave.

but--

Take Fei Liu down!
"If this card is sent from the hand or Deck to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect. Send 1 card from your hand to the Graveyard and Special Summon this card. I discard Shaddoll Falcons from my hand and Special Summon them from the Graveyard. Activate their effects again."

"They are a special summon from the inside and a search for a Gem Knight card."

Mitsutsu Masumi swallowed.

This, this feeling.

It seems like even when Amagi-senpai played WRGP, he didn't go this far.
"I added Gem Knight Dispersion to my hand."

"Destruction, shattering, and then sublimation—that is my fusion, my path, my belief." Hikaru Amagi looked at Yuya Sakaki. "I rarely do anything pointless in a duel, but—I'd be happy to show you."

"Okay!! Please go all out!"

Ah.

Hikaru Amagi couldn't help but laugh.

Although the tomatoes performed very well.

But Hikaru Amagi really couldn't resist the urge to beat him up.

In other words, Hikaru Amagi didn't have enough space, otherwise he would have definitely fused Whale and then specially summoned Scorpion and Cobra, and then searched for the mark to fuse.

But for now...

Although there has been no self-restraint yet, the monster area is not enough.

"Discard the Gem Knight Fusion card in your hand and activate the effect of Bright Fusion to restore the attack power of Bright Diamond to 3400."

"Then, if you have a Gem Knight Fusion in your Graveyard, you can directly Fusion with monsters from your Deck and Extra Deck."

Send the Gem Knight Unsullied on the field, along with Gem Knight Topaz and Gem Knight Sapphire from the Extra Deck, to the Graveyard for Fusion Summoning.

"Fusion Summon! Level 9, Gem Knight King - Radiant Diamond!"

With a giant sword in hand, Captain Platinum appeared beside Diamond, wielding a jewel-encrusted greatsword.

Gem Knight King - Radiant Diamond, Level 9, Earth Attribute, Rock Race, Attack Power 2900→3400.
"The effect of diamond, except for topaz, is to obtain its effect."

Jewel Knight King - Diamond, ATK: 3400 → 3300.
Hikaru Amagi actually wanted to fuse "Gem Knight King: Brilliant Diamond - Dispersion" to make the dispersion stand out, but as I said before - there weren't enough grids.

He wants to keep this space for something else.

"You should know their effects, right?"

Yuya Sakaki nodded, but there was no fear or worry on his face. Instead, there was an excitement that came from sudden realization and an eagerness to try it.

"So what came to mind?" Amagi Hikaru asked.

He would decide his next move based on Yuya Sakaki's duel.

"I've got it!" Yuya Sakaki's face was filled with excitement. "I'm going to summon a monster that combines fusion and pendulum—no, I should say..."

A Pendulum Monster with the talent of a Fusion Monster!!

"It's both a pendulum and a fusion?" Yuzu murmured softly, seemingly lost in thought.

"Ha...this kid is thinking too much. Fusion and pendulum? There's no such thing as a free lunch." Shijima thought Yuya was being a bit delusional.

"But... if it succeeds..." Noboru Kakuzuka's expression turned serious, "if it succeeds, then it will be a powerful monster that can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck every turn!"

Although it is a Fusion Monster, if it has the Pendulum ability, wouldn't it be able to be Pendulum Summoned directly from the Extra Deck every turn?

If it really succeeds...

"A brilliant judgment." Hikaru Amagi nodded. "Then, let's show the last bit of color."

Hikaru Amagi smiled and raised her hand: "Magic Card, Fusion!"

"Senior Amagi, you also brought fusion!?" Yuya Sakaki was shocked.

Didn't we say we should make better use of hand cards?
“Back to the basics, Yuya.” Hikaru Amagi nodded slightly. “If you can’t even do the basics well, what makes you think you’re capable of conquering higher peaks?”

Hikaru Amagi's deck always contains three Fusion cards!
Even when these three images are combined, they don't look the same!
“Isn’t this what our duels are all about? Yuya.” Hikaru Amagi reached out as if to pull Yuya up. “You longed to become stronger, you longed to engage in recreational duels, but after meeting Mr. Yugi, you realized your mistakes and started as a basic duelist.”

The same applies to duels. Destruction, shattering, sublimation. My fusion evolves, and will eventually return to its origin. But this return is not a step backward; rather, it's a spiral ascent after circling around—and so it is with you.”

Although he felt he was about to lose, Yuya felt a warmth within his body. It was a warmth he had never experienced before, a warmth emanating from humanity—even Yugi-sensei's duels were incredibly painful, but Amagi Hikaru hadn't given him this feeling of sadness!

"The fusion condition is a DARK monster and a Pendulum monster. I fuse Predator Slime Mantis from my hand with Shaddoll Falcon on the field."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the conditions for fusion.

"It's difficult. Could it be that..."

"Could it be that Amagi-senpai has already..." Mitsutsu Masumi became excited.

Could it be that Amagi-senpai already possesses the card that Yuya imagined?!

Hikaru Amagi took a deep breath and then clasped his hands together.

Now, officially, the pendulum fusion is underway!
"Pursue the great wings of fusion!"
Now, devour everything, and swing the pendulum toward my side!

Pendulum Fusion!

Level 7, Pendulum Fusion Monster, Ferocious Hungry Dragon!

Purple on top and green on the bottom, it is both a Pendulum Monster and a Fusion Monster!

Ferocious Hungry Gu Dragon, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2500.
As Yuya Sakaki gazed at the dark figure, his eyes revealed two words—beautiful!
"Half purple, half green, it actually exists..." several audience members murmured to themselves.

Reiji Akaba's expression remained unchanged, but the scarf fluttering at lightning speed and the glasses he kept adjusting betrayed his inner turmoil.

The fusion of Amagi Hikaru's power is indeed beyond what normal humans can imagine.

"As expected, it really works!!" Yuya became excited. At this moment, he no longer felt the sadness he felt when he first saw Akaba Reiji use the Pendulum Summoning, nor the pain of seeing the Pendulum being used by others, nor the discomfort of seeing Amagi Hikaru complete the Pendulum Fusion first. Instead, he felt the purest and most fundamental joy and excitement of "his idea being proven"!
And he understood.

For Hikaru Amagi, this wasn't a pendulum, it was fusion!
For him, while this was a "fusion," it was more of a pendulum!
“Then it’s time to bring this to a close.” Hikaru Amagi pointed to Yuya’s field. “Your duel was indeed quite good, but compared to those who have progressed on this path, you are still far behind. However, you are already very strong, much, much stronger than I imagined.”

"Therefore, I want to give you my respect!"

"Fight! My fusion monsters, let the battle begin!!"

Yuya's excitement hadn't lasted long before he saw a row of fusion monsters charging menacingly towards him.

what! ?

The scene of four monsters, seemingly attacking simultaneously—Diamond, Shining Diamond, Nephilim, and Ferocious Hungry Dragon—bombarding Yuya Sakaki.

After a while——

As the smoke cleared, Yuya Sakaki lay face down on the ground, pointing forward with his left hand, looking quite badly injured.

Sakaki Yuya, LP: 4000→0.
