The spaceship gradually slowed down.
The cheers seemed to shake the very world, causing the Critical Point to tremble violently.
But as the result emerged, more people seemed to be choked, unable to make a sound.
Until...
"First match of the semifinals, Tenjo Hikari vs. Marufuji Ryo, the winner is Tenjo Hikari!"
"Oh!!!"
"He won!"
"Tenjo Hikari, the answer to Polymerization!"
Spirits, students, soldiers of the Fusion Army, members of the Fusion Department, Tenjo Hikari's friends, and acquaintances, everyone watching the match couldn't help but burst into cheers.
Even among the soldiers of the Fusion Army, many instinctively shouted, though almost the next second, the screen was directly turned off by the scientists of the Fusion Army, yet the excitement did not dissipate.
"Hmm...Fusion Dragon, huh?" Yuri stroked his chin, not minding the shocked soldier beside him, "It's interesting to also be a Duelist of 'Fusion'."
Then, he swept around a few times, and saw the Fusion Army trainees still reminiscing about the duel, unable to calm down for a long time.
Sora Shiunin.
One of the two people who, together with the head of the Integration Department, had gained recognition from "Frightfur", but compared to that person, he had more talent and was younger.
All in all, very interesting.
In the duel, Tenjo Hikari used many cards related to Frightfur, this kid might learn a lot, and might even gain some new insights.
This is very interesting indeed.
Yuri smiled, already thinking of the order of his "prey" in his mind.
Having watched Tenjo Hikari's duel, he had a clearer understanding of his own "Fusion".
If Tenjo Hikari's fusion was the fusion of belief and soul, then his was the fusion of desire and flesh.
He wanted to turn everyone in the world into cards, that way everyone would be his friends!
And now.
He smiled slyly at the Fusion Army soldier who defied and went against him, the guy who dared to doubt his views.
Starting with him should be good.
The Wave of Light flickered gently.
As the last two "Apostles" of the Wave of Light, his "destruction" was even purer than the Light of Destruction—even the Light of Destruction would ponder why it was born, but Yuri would not.
Now he was eager to "fuse" everything!
Akaba Leo was rubbing his temples after the duel.
Tenjo Hikari, and that Marufuji Ryo...
The two disciples of Cronos were really too outstanding.
If one previously thought about confronting them with the power of No., it now seemed perhaps too much.
One had already learned Xyz Summon, and the other had mastered Synchro Summon, neither were abilities a native human of this world should possess.
Apart from Yuri, they probably didn't have many who could battle them here.
He pondered, as a graceful female voice softly whispered in his ear.
He rubbed his temples.
If he were to go personally, maybe he could use the Three Phantasm and Great Spirit Mechanism Army to win, but if Cronos found an opportunity, it might be dangerous.
He must coordinate everything and cannot leave of his own accord.
Moreover, not only had they collaborated with that strange entity in the X Dimension, more importantly, someone in the S Dimension was also exchanging with them...
Last time's attack, he wasn't prepared, overlooking the fact that other dimensions might also have "supernatural" powers, but this time, he was ready with No. and Phantasm, though that was not enough, he needed more supernatural powers.
The machine on his head used to fill in his wounds quickly calculated.
There was almost no supernatural power in his "Basic Dimension", so he thought too little before the attack, believing science could solve everything, yet he didn't have that card, "G·O·D" at the end of "science", and was countered instantly.
But... it doesn't matter.
He slowly clenched his fist, eerie black light burst in his eyeballs, black gas rising on his body, several numeric symbols emerged on him, it seemed like the Phantasms were also slightly absorbing his life.
Now he had captured Ray in the X Dimension, Serena was an ordinary student beside Tenjo Hikari, next he would capture Ray in the S Dimension, and then the one in the Basic Dimension, he could once again merge them into one and gain that "Infinite Mass God Card".
By that time, all these powers would belong to him!
He would have everything!
But all of this, for Tenjo Hikari, wasn't necessary to think about yet.
After the duel, he first looked down at his right hand, strange purple marks appeared on the back of his hand, only to dissipate moments later.
"Tsk..."
"Little Hikari, it's those guys—they've set their sights on you!" Muddy Mudragon said worriedly.
Using it under the watchful eyes of so many humans could easily attract the attention of those Evil Gods.
Tierra reached out, grabbed Tenjo Hikari's hand in front of her eyes, examined it curiously for a few moments.
A kind of revenge or "marking" mark, with no actual damage, but whatever the location, the owner of the mark could find the marker.
With Tierra's current capabilities, removing this mark wasn't difficult, but Tenjo Hikari shook his head, declining the offer.
Because actually, it was fine.
Just as he performed the Synchro Summon, he could feel it, the voice of the "Red Dragon" getting clearer, he was being called by the Red Dragon.
When he initially obtained the Duel Dragon "Netherworld Dragon", he figured this day would come, only it was getting closer.
He didn't know what the Red Dragon wanted him for.
"What's wrong?" As he was pondering, Marufuji Ryo had already stood up on his own, patted the dust off his body, and asked Tenjo Hikari.
"Nothing." Tenjo Hikari thought for a moment, then added, "I was just thinking, after the tournament, during the summer vacation, I'm going to make a trip to the S Dimension."
"Going to the S Dimension..." As someone prepared to go to the X Dimension for further studies, hearing Tenjo Hikari's words, he immediately understood.
Despite having already mastered Synchro Summon and Xyz Summon, it was ultimately done by relying on "oneself", to further master it, they definitely had to go to their world to do it best.
Therefore, Caesar did not say much, merely nodded gently.
But unlike him, those friends who were just about to congratulate Tenjo Hikari or comfort Caesar, hearing this, suddenly changed what they were about to say to "Eh, you're going to the S Dimension?" "There's no travel permit for the S Dimension, right?!" "Won't it be dangerous to go alone?" and so on.
Seeing his friends all talking at once, Tenjo Hikari interrupted their words, then used the example of Dimension Travel, telling them he'd probably just make a summer trip to the S Dimension and it could totally count as a summer activity.
Bringing up such a thing, they began to become curious about what sort of connections Tenjo Hikari had.
However, at this moment, outside the spaceship, loud cheering erupted.
"Hey—Hikari~~you're amazing!!"
A lively voice sounded.
It was from Rosemary in the Aromage group, with some other spirits beside her, some of whom Tenjo Hikari knew, such as Marjoram, and others he had never seen!
Tenjo Hikari's use of "Synchro" to "Fuse" sparked much more heated discussion than he had imagined!
