Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 781 You're Amazing.jpg (4K)

After the first day of duels, the duelists quickly came to realize a fact.

That means it's true that Akama Reiji didn't directly grant him the "special invitation" qualification.

That's absolutely right.

They couldn't imagine how badly they would lose if they went to the KC Cup knockout stage knowing absolutely nothing, and then encountered an opponent like Nagata Shiro, who turned out to be so bad.

Now, at least we have some understanding. If we fight well in the pre-season and preliminary rounds, we might be able to compete with those opponents in the official KC Cup competition six months later.

After all, Hikaru Amagi, as a special guest, has the title of "Strongest Fusion User," and might be one of the stronger special guest contestants.

Since things have come to this, losing to him is just losing to him, it's not shameful.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, Lion Company—or more precisely, Reiji Akaba's strategy—could be fully implemented.

In fact, apart from the first day when Akama Reiji had Amagi Hikaru give these people a hard time, Amagi Hikaru did not participate in their special training for the rest of the time.

Either try out some Fusion cards at Lion Corporation, or try out some Pendulum cards.

The real special training, however, was conducted entirely by Reiji Akaba himself.

The special training is mainly divided into several stages.

The first stage, of course, is to make these people realize reality—in their world, they are indeed excellent duelists, but in the context of the entire dimension, they are nothing special.

Just like a middle school student who is first or second in their grade, but might become a middle or even bottom student in a top university.

There are countless people in the world, and naturally, there are also countless intelligent people and excellent duelists.

Even in this world, they are only among the best duelists in "MaiNet City". On the entire planet, they might not even make it into the top 20. On the entire dimension, including all Pokémon and humans, let alone the top 100, they probably wouldn't even make it into the top 500 or 600.

This is a harsh reality, so special training is absolutely necessary if you want to become strong enough before the KC Cup.

If you maintain a stable mindset, there will naturally be room for growth.

Immediately afterwards, Akaba Reiji began the second phase of his special training, a phase called—

Pendulum University Study.

Yes, pendulum learning!

Long ago, when the pendulum was first discovered, Reiji Akaba, with Sophia's support, devoted himself to studying the pendulum.

Because, for other worlds, this new method of summoning, the pendulum, is completely unknown to them.

Whether it's the Synchro or the Xyz Dimension, they have known the Synchro Dimension for many years. The Synchro Dimension may have a shorter relationship, only about two years, but the Xyz Dimension has known the Fusion Dimension for a long time.

Therefore, they all recognize and target each other through methods such as harmonization, over-saturation, and fusion.

This gave them a chance to squeeze into the dimensional world.

Since they have never seen Pendulum Cards or Pendulum Summoning, if someone from their dimension possesses Pendulum Summoning, they will have some advantage over duelists from other dimensions.

Putting aside everything else, the ability to summon a Pendulum Monster to the field using Pendulum Summoning, then Fusion and Synchro Summon it, and then summon it back the next turn for Synchro Summoning and Fusion Summoning again is something that is hard to replicate in other dimensions.

Of course.

This section does not mention Amagi Hikaru.

Akama Reiji knew that Amagi Hikaru had a "Refinement" Pendulum Fusion deck, which could also do this.

However, Hikaru Amagi is a special case. Not to mention Pendulum, he will learn anything that can help him enhance his fusion, such as Xyz and Synchro. He is not afraid of being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

For him, it was all about "integration".

Regardless, Reiji Akama's suggestion here is to use a pendulum.

After all, as the dimension from which Pendulum Summoning originated, and as one of the first users of Pendulum Summoning, we will no longer be suppressed by other dimensions due to a lack of powerful summoning methods.

Of course, to do this, he had to help these first batch of 5-win duelists create pendulum cards that suited their situation.

Therefore, "data on the duel" is indispensable.

Over the course of a few days, Hikaru Amagi read books while watching them spar with each other and then test their skills with sets of Pendulum Monsters.

Because this is a recent attempt to mass-produce pendulum cards, these are all relatively basic pendulum monster cards.

For example, there are pendulum monsters like the Dragon Horn Hunter and the Spearhead Beaked Dragon.

To be fair, while these Normal Monster Pendulum Cards may not be of the highest quality in terms of monster stats, they can still be quickly searched and used when combined with several Normal Monster-related Spell Cards.

Moreover, it's unclear whether people from the Pendulum Dimension are truly more adaptable to Pendulum Summoning, but within a few days, several duelists whom Hikaru Amagi had never met before, and who were most likely not characters from the original work, quickly mastered the Pendulum Cards.

Even more——

In every duel, he made sure his pendulum was sticky, and with a single strike, it would swing to the left and right, then he would launch the monster he was holding directly out.

This is no ordinary operation.

Despite the fact that many characters in the original work have "cards stuck together" and their starting hand is almost always the same, such as Hayabusa being able to pull out three identical birds at the start of the game, and Yuya having cards stuck together in the same way.

However, not everyone can do this.

This also requires the support of "fighting spirit".

Nowadays, even people whom Amagi has never met, or who are not even characters from the original work, can do this, which shows that Pendulum Summoning can indeed spread widely in this dimension.

Akama Reiji was also extremely excited about this result.

This indicates that his research and strategies are feasible, so he is more inclined to pursue this kind of training.

A few days later, the "terrifyingly strong" Shingo Sawado finally found an opponent, successfully won 5 games, and arrived at the training ground.

This one is an even greater master.

In Hikaru Amagi's memory, this blond young man was basically "Kagurasaka" from "Yu-Gi-Oh! A5".

As long as he's given a deck, whether it's Darts, Emperor decks, or even Yokai Beasts or Demon Theater, he can play it exceptionally well. Moreover, as a character from Yu-Gi-Oh! Arena 5, he is one of the very few "entertainment duelists" who have truly gained recognition from the audience.

This guy is also a key member of Akama Reiji's team. He tested several Pendulum decks that Akama Reiji had researched before. The reason why it took so long to get 5 wins is that he has been changing decks and testing those Pendulum cards during this period.

We either need to test for bugs or test how the deck works.

Now, he has finalized the deck he will use, the "Demon World Troupe" deck given to him by Reiji Akaba. This deck is more comfortable for Shingo Sawatari than his previous decks.

It's a bit of a shame that Reiji Akaba didn't let him compete in the previous WRGP tournament, so Hikaru Amagi didn't get to see his performance.

By the time he arrived, the group had grown to about forty people.

In this way, the third phase of Reiji Akaba's training can begin.

This stage is—

Go to DT Elf Dimension to find an elf to duel.

"Is that so?" Tierra slurped up her instant noodles while listening to Akama Reiji chatting with the other members about the upcoming special training.

Can this really work?
It wasn't that she was too biased towards her "creation." The DT Elf Dimension was one of the very few complete dimensions, a place that the "red light" hadn't even swept over back then. Whether it was the Light of Annihilation or Darkness, they went there once and then left immediately.

This kind of world where people fight to the death every day will eventually disappear on its own; there's no need for them to bother.

Given the intensity of combat in DT Dimension... is it really suitable as the first training location?
Tierra pondered for half a second, then gave up.

Forget it, let her do whatever she wants, it's none of her business anyway.

Hikaru Amagi could understand Reiji Akaba.

Reiji Akaba first needs to find a suitable dimension with many duels, and then he needs to choose a dimension that he considers "safe"—safe here does not refer to safety for people, but rather to a dimension that is safe for their world.

Someone like Reiji Akaba, who could be recognized even without Hikaru Amagi pushing up his glasses, would definitely be worried about threats from other dimensions to his world every day.

The DT Elf Dimension is indeed dangerous for humanity, but it's still the world of "Sophia," with whom he once cooperated. And the "dark side" within this dimension...

Sofia and Tierra.

The former ran away after watching Tierra's duel and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day.

The latter is right next to Amagi Hikaru, so there's no need to avoid him if a fight breaks out.

In that case, there is absolutely no need to worry about any hidden secrets or crises in DT Elf Dimension.

This is an excellent training ground for Akama Reiji.

Whether people could withstand the intensity of the battle was not something he considered.

Just as Tiera had predicted, within a few days, someone succumbed to the intense elven duel and fell into a coma. As if she had foreseen this, Akama Reiji had people quickly and hastily send her to the hospital she had prepared in advance to recuperate.

What about the others?
Let's continue.

Fight as you see fit.

Bleed more now, so you'll shed fewer tears later!
Moreover, if one could gain the favor of a spirit in this dimension, one might become even stronger in the future.

These are all opportunities!

It's unclear whether his words actually convinced these duelists.

These duelists were determined to achieve a high ranking in the KC Cup. In any case, apart from the unlucky ones at the beginning, their training at DT Elf Dimension went very smoothly.

In fact, it went too smoothly.

It went so smoothly that Amagi Hikaru frowned repeatedly.

Because, after several days of observation, he finally confirmed it.

Reiji Akaba is really using a perpetual motion machine.

This matter can be considered a big deal or a small deal.

If Reiji Akaba was simply using a perpetual motion machine to create cards, then it wouldn't be a big deal.

After all, even if one or two perpetual motion machines malfunction, it would take hundreds of years for them to be ready again.

But if Akama Reiji isn't satisfied and is secretly preparing something big in the Pendulum Dimension, then who knows what might happen.

Hikaru Amagi rubbed his temples.

After a few days, Cheng Guang realized that this situation was indeed true, but he was not in a hurry.

In fact, if Hikaru Amagi had allowed Tiera to search the entire Pendulum Dimension from the beginning, there would have been no one in this world who could have stopped Tiera.

But he didn't come here to do evil or "defeat the whole world."

He came to this world because Serena and Liuli were troubled.

He doesn't possess the dimensional fearlessness to resolve the Pendulum Dimension crisis.

Moreover, if it was something the people of the Pendulum Dimension came up with themselves, then letting them sort it out themselves is the right thing to do.

Otherwise, if they do it again next time, will Amagi Hikaru have to clean up their mess?
There's no such thing as a free lunch.

However, regardless of the circumstances, now that this detail has been discovered, Amagi Hikaru can no longer pretend he didn't know.

So, after yet another special training session, Amagi Hikaru approached Akaba Reiji this time.

Master Daitokuji finally replied, saying he was ready to go back. If he didn't have a frank conversation with Reiji Akaba, Hikaru Amagi would feel like he had come all this way for nothing.

"Are you using a perpetual motion machine?" Hikaru Amagi asked bluntly. "You should be well aware of the problems with perpetual motion machines, right? Yusei is working on improving his perpetual motion machine and has already made progress. Don't mess around with using a perpetual motion machine."

When Akaba Reiji learned that Amagi Hikaru had discovered this, he didn't panic. Instead, he calmly pushed up his glasses and said, "Don't worry, Amagi Hikaru. I have a good understanding of the people in my world."

"Although they claim to be entertaining duels, the audience in this world craves bloodshed, especially in large-scale duels. Physical imaging technology has these people addicted to these duels. If perpetual motion machines were to be used on a large scale, I'm afraid something bad would happen within a few years."

I understand this principle perfectly well.

Okay.

Hikaru Amagi pondered that, whether in anime or manga, Reiji Akaba, though often "just watching," was indeed someone who would prepare many contingency plans.

"So, that means you're using a perpetual motion machine to conduct some clandestine experiments?" Hikaru Amagi frowned deeply. "What are you doing? Serena and the others aren't in this state because of your experiments, are they?"

"Heh. Hikaru Amagi, this is something you, an outsider from another dimension, shouldn't know—of course, if you're willing to go further and cooperate with Lion Corporation, I'd be happy to work with you on that."

Akama Reiji continued, "As for the danger... you're right. I've conducted a lot of investigations over the past two weeks and haven't discovered the hidden danger you mentioned. So, it might really be a problem caused by my experiment."

"But don't worry, Goddess Sophia has already warned me about my experiment; at least she hasn't completely stopped me from doing so."

?

Hikaru Amagi frowned and looked at Tiera.

Tierra also frowned.

If Sophia did warn me and didn't completely stop me, then given Sophia's personality, it shouldn't be a particularly serious problem.

Ugh.

This useless thing, when we needed her in a crucial moment, she disappeared again.

Could it be that she felt it was too unsafe here and just ran away?
Looking at Akama Reiji's confident demeanor, Amagi Hikaru also had some doubts.

After a long pause, he sighed.

He knew that given Akaba Reiji's situation and that of this dimension, no amount of persuasion would work; even an invitation to duel would likely not be accepted by Akaba Reiji.

"Fine. I just hope you'll be careful. If anything really goes wrong, I won't help you—and if you create a crisis yourself, don't expect people from other dimensions to help you."

You'll have to handle it yourself then.

“By then, we won’t be able to ask people from other dimensions for help.” Akaba Reiji pushed up his glasses. “Only by relying on people from our own dimension to overcome the crisis can this world truly become safe.”

Hikaru Amagi shrugged.

"Then you'd better watch out—I'm about to head back to my own dimension, and I really won't be able to take care of you then."

"Wait a moment." When Akaba Reiji heard that Amagi Hikaru was about to leave, he quickly called out to Amagi Hikaru again, "As we agreed before, based on your duel data, and the cards created from the pendulum data and perpetual motion energy during this period."

He took out two bills.

Hikaru Amagi's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.

Okay, at least the payment isn't a problem.

I don't know what kind of pendulum card it is.

Dragon Swordsman? Or DDD?

He took the card and glanced at it.

……

A question mark appeared on Amagi's head.

Overlord Gate Zero, Overlord Gate Infinite? ???
Amagi Hikaru's expression became quite interesting. He pursed his lips together, twisted them for a moment, and then opened his mouth.

He examined the cards closely, then looked up at Reiji Akaba. With Reiji looking puzzled, he put away the two cards, then clenched his right fist, raised it in front of him, held up one finger, and shook it.

Thumb.

You really are like that.
