Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 748 Selection Phase (4K)

Hikaru Amagi thought that the Duel King thing was still a long way off, since Edward had only said to prepare and wasn't in a hurry.

According to Hikaru Amagi's speculation, since Saiou was able to reassure Edward and help him recover, it would take at least a year and a half, perhaps until he graduated, or even after everything was over, for this matter to resurface in his mind.

Unexpectedly, on the very night that Hikaru Amagi returned to Duel Academy, he received a call from Ryuzaki Dinosaur.

In his conversation, Ryuzaki not only mentioned his experience at Kaiba Corporation, but also explicitly told Hikaru Amagi about the "Duel King" and the "KC" Cup.

They didn't even try to hide it; they had absolutely no intention of "concealing" or "subtly reminding" anyone.

For Ryuzaki, this was something he should tell Hikaru Amagi as soon as possible so he could prepare early and avoid being caught off guard and making a mistake when it suddenly appeared.

Regarding whether he can become the "Duel King," Ryuzaki Dinosaur's attitude is—to do his best.

If we could run into Jonouchi in the match, that would be the best outcome.

If I could win the title of Duel King, that would be a dream come true, something I wouldn't even dare to imagine.

but--

If we can help Hikaru Amagi become the true, multi-dimensional strongest!
Then, it was all worth it!

Whether this matter can be accomplished remains to be seen.

All I can say is that, in Ryuzaki's opinion, it would be much easier for Hikaru Amagi to become the strongest duelist in the entire dimension than for him to become the strongest duelist in the entire dimension!

Since that's the case, and with such a good opportunity, he naturally had to tell Amagi Hikaru.

"Won't this affect your relationship with Haima Automobile?"

"Don't worry, since that guy Kaiba didn't tell me to shut up, it means I can say whatever I want!"

Ah ha ha……

Hikaru Amagi felt somewhat helpless, but upon further reflection, he realized it made perfect sense.

Since Haima Automobile did not request that the matter be kept quiet, it means that the matter is already in progress.

After telling this story, Ryuzaki the Dinosaur gave him some other specific instructions.

First of all, stop wasting your time on frivolous pursuits. There's plenty of time to catch up on your studies later. Hikaru Amagi should focus all his energy on duels and building his deck right now.

Upon hearing this, Hikaru Amagi felt his lips twitch, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Because in this world, dueling well is indeed the best shortcut in life. Now that there is a future of "the strongest duelist in the entire dimension", the focus should naturally be on this.

However, Hikaru Amagi did not intend to put aside all other trivial matters and concentrate on the duel, as Ryuzaki Dinosaur had suggested.

First, it's unrealistic; second, he has to be responsible for his own future; and finally, Hikaru Amagi's duels and his fusion are not "alone" events. To become stronger, you can't just close yourself off and study duels.

to the opposite.

That's why he should actually go out more, meet more people, and get more cards.

Hikaru Amagi took the opportunity to tell Ryuzaki Dinosaur about his thoughts. After listening, Ryuzaki Dinosaur was stunned for a while before giving a wry smile and saying that he had gotten a little too carried away.

He was just too excited.

This event is a major event for all duelists across all dimensions. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for him to wash away his past stains and prove that he has been reborn.

If he has the opportunity to make a name for himself in such a major competition, then his title of "Legendary Duelist" will no longer be a false title, but a genuine one.

It was precisely because of this mindset that he was so impatient that he contacted Amagi Hikaru immediately and wanted to give up everything else to focus on his cultivation.

He only realized what was happening after Amagi Hikaru spoke.

Wrong—

In the past, in pursuit of powerful cards, he was even willing to sell his soul to Orichalcos and steal cards. The reason he was able to get back on his feet now was due to the help of Hikaru Amagi, the people at Fuuko Corporation, his sense of responsibility, and everything else.

Similarly, the same applies to Hikaru Amagi.

His life and his duels were about connection and integration, not self-isolation.

Thinking of this, Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, couldn't help but shake his head.

We were still too hasty.

"In that case, you should start preparing. Although the news hasn't been sent out yet and the preparations haven't begun, I estimate that the initial preliminary selection should be on its way."

Hikaru Amagi nodded.

“However, a famous duelist like you should skip the most basic selection stage. So there’s really no need to rush.” Ryuzaki Dinosaur said, while also speculating about the future tournament format.

Seto Kaiba had previously offered him a spot in the tournament, and although he declined, he still took the time to learn about the basic rules and regulations.

The first stage is the "survival of the fittest" phase.

Any duelist with a "star rating" is allowed to participate in the duel!

The so-called "star" duelists do not refer to Pokémon adaptability, but rather to duelists who have demonstrated prowess or have moved beyond the beginner stage.

According to Ryuzaki, as long as you've had a few serious duels, you've probably passed this stage.

Then, duelists at this stage can compete in selection duels in various regions around the world.

Regardless of age or nationality, anyone who is a duelist can participate.

After the rigorous selection process, these individuals can proceed to "Tsutono City" for the actual "preliminary rounds".

At this stage, even Ryuzaki, the dinosaur, didn't know what to do.

The reason is even simpler.

Haima Company didn't even prepare the venue, so how could an outsider like him know what to do after the venue is prepared?

"This phase will likely last a long time, possibly several months, half a year, or even a year," Ryuzaki Dinosaur told Hikaru Amagi.

Hikaru Amagi nodded, and then a new question arose: "In that case... I understand, but there's something I'm wondering if I could trouble you, Ryuzaki-nii, to ask Kaiba Corporation about."

"Huh? Is there something you want to ask?" Dinosaur Ryuzaki asked curiously.

He knew his junior was always composed and knew his limits, and wouldn't usually make demands abruptly. Now that he knew so much, he shouldn't suddenly ask for anything. "My friend, the one you know, Yuki Judai, he's on a school trip because of personal matters. If it's him, he probably won't be able to participate in this stage of the duels, so what should we do..." Amagi Hikaru was quite worried about this.

It would be a real shame if Judai wasn't in such a big event.

"Don't worry about that." Upon hearing the question, Ryuzaki Dinosaur suddenly realized and then said to Hikaru Amagi, "You, Jaden Yuki, and Jun Manjoume are all athletes that Kaiba Corporation has reserved."

If all goes well, you will receive a special invitation from Haima Company when the KC Cup is officially announced.

You don't need to worry about not being able to contact them; as long as you have the Duel Disk, Kaiba Corporation can get in touch.

Hearing this, Amagi Hikaru felt relieved.

The only remaining question is whether Jaden can find the time during the competition. If it's a major battle of this caliber, even if Jaden is preoccupied with other matters, he should be able to make time to participate.

Finally, Ryuzaki the Dinosaur gave a few more instructions before turning off his phone.

He glanced at the time: "Hmm, it's getting late."

Tomorrow.

He couldn't wait.

I'm going to the dimension of cynomorium tomorrow!

Looking back, Hikaru Amagi put his phone away and looked up at the sky. Meanwhile, Tiera floated over his head, raised an eyebrow at his thoughtful expression.

"Amagi Hikaru, how about we go to DT Dimension in a while?"

"Hey, you're thinking of challenging those tribal chiefs again?" Upon hearing this, Amagi Hikaru suddenly snapped back to reality and focused his attention on Tiera.

“Haha… those are minor matters now,” Tiera said. “I think it’s more interesting to explore new possibilities than to deal with those things.”

What do you mean?
"Anyway, I'll make time to go to DT Dimension! I'm going to—go on a card-playing spree!"

Hikaru Amagi was amused by her words, but he didn't mind and just nodded.

In fact, Tierra's idea was somewhat similar to that of the dinosaur Ryuzaki.

Admittedly, Tiera is no longer a novice in dueling, her skills are not too weak, and her understanding of dueling is already quite high thanks to Hikaru Amagi's guidance. However, if she were to seriously participate in this kind of competition, she would lose interest.

She was interested in occasionally participating in a few matches using Amagi Hikaru's body, but she had no interest in playing the entire match until she was mentally exhausted.

In contrast.

If Hikaru Amagi could become the Duel King—

The Duel King, the aspiration of all duelists, is also the strongest duelist in the true sense.

If Hikari Amagi becomes the strongest, wouldn't that prove that Tiera's judgment is indeed the best in the world?
Moreover, she really, really looked forward to Amagi Hikaru becoming famous in this duel that was watched by all dimensions. Just that alone made her happier than if she herself had become famous.

Of course, she also thought of another key point.

We need to find a way to give Amagi Hikaru more and stronger power!

She is the goddess of the DT planet, and she is now fully resurrected. Finding a way to spawn spirits in the DT dimension and create some cards shouldn't be too difficult, right?
With this in mind, she immediately urged Amagi Hikaru to go to the DT Elf Dimension later.

If all else fails, she even considered kidnapping Sofia.

Although considering Sophia's personality, in this era she would probably be off somewhere vacationing, lazing around, or just waiting to die, if she really wanted to find Sophia, there were still ways to do it.

However, that's something for later; there's no need to rush.

In this strange atmosphere, Hikaru Amagi studied, prepared for the duel, and repeatedly traveled back and forth in the DT dimension, and the days gradually came.

An exchange student between the Superdimensional and the Synchrodimensional.

After nearly a month, Serena finally saw Ruri again. The two hugged almost instantly upon seeing each other, showing that they had a good relationship. Subsequently, the other students from the Hyperdimension were also sent to the Duel Academy's middle school one after another.

As for Ruri, she continued to study at the Duel Academy headquarters with Serena, just like before.

However, unlike the casualness of the last time, this time, these exchange students do have some "tasks," the most important of which is "learning spirit power."

This is something that is probably the most curious thing for all the universities in the Super Dimension.

But soon, this curiosity will subside.

Because, just a few days after the exchange students arrived, Kaiba Corporation contacted the City government of the Synchro Dimension, the Heart Garden of the Hyperion Dimension, and the Lion Corporation of the Pendulum Dimension.

Their company is going to hold the strongest dueling tournament that all duelists from all dimensions can participate in!

These words startled the leaders of all three dimensions, followed by a surge of passionate excitement—

King of Duel!?

What a magnificent name!
This name should belong to us, the duelists of this dimension!
Even Akama Reiji was somewhat tempted when he heard this name.

Of course, that's what they say, but it's not something Haima can just do on a whim.

Four dimensions, four planets, countless countries, countless people—just a "preliminary round" or "selection" is enough to make these people's scalps tingle. What's more, the exact time, venue, security issues, and so on all need to be handled jointly by the four dimensions. Only in this way can they feel at ease with each other.

Previously, Haima only attempted this on its own, but once all four dimensions are connected, the complexity of the matter increases exponentially.

The sheer number of participants in each dimension alone is enough to keep the leaders of each dimension arguing for a whole day.

When talking about their own dimension, each dimension always wants more slots. Even if each dimension has the same number of slots, these people will still argue endlessly about "how many people are worthy of participating in the duel".

In particular, there are "specially invited duelists".

The combined forces of Hikaru Amagi, Jaden Yuki, and Jun Manjoume are actually a small number.

Those "legendary duelists" who were directly invited were all old-timers who hadn't shown their skills in a long time; whether they could actually fight was anyone's guess.

Adding in some outstanding duelists from professional arenas and dimensional exploration teams, the number will increase significantly. Roughly speaking, just Dimensional Fusion alone would need dozens of recommended slots. Isn't that absurd?!
They also need the same number of recommenders in their respective dimensions!

This is just the first step; the competition is already fraught with complex human emotions and various factors. More importantly, it's not just the "organizers" who need to rack their brains to prepare.

As the "Dimensional KC Cup" tournament was held, the duelists' thoughts gradually changed.

One of the factors that significantly impacted Hikaru Amagi was that, as time passed and another month went by, although the selection process hadn't yet begun, Hikaru Amagi had already been announced as one of the "specially invited duelists" for the Dimensional KC Cup. Therefore, a special case emerged...

A duelist who specifically challenges Hikaru Amagi in order to gain a "guaranteed admission qualification"!
