Three days have passed.
Kaiba Company's various sites have slowly started to resume transportation.
Due to Judai's special nature, he was required to return to the initial point, where Kaiba Company would negotiate with Lightsworn.
Of course, these are secondary.
The important thing is, because of Judai and his team's performance this time, Kaiba Company is preparing to evaluate and reward them with an additional seal.
At the same time, there was also good news from Kaiba Company conveyed to Tenjo Hikari.
Because Tenjo Hikari performed exceptionally well during this unexpected incident, Kaiba Company's headquarters sent a message to Tenjo Hikari.
Kaiba Company President, Kaiba Seto, has authorized that if Tenjo Hikari can win the championship in this GX Tournament, he will provide Tenjo Hikari with coordinates, possibly leading to discovering other dimensional Blue-Eyes White Dragons.
This news made Tenjo Hikari quite excited.
After all, in this world, besides Kaiba Seto himself, there's almost no chance of obtaining a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. If one wants to collect Fusion Monsters of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, they can only start from him.
Besides Kenzan and Shou, who will definitely follow Judai, Jim and O'Brien also decided to return to the initial point. Jim finds following Judai interesting, while O'Brien plans to return to the initial point to redesign the competition plan.
"Ack—"
Judai's voice echoed inside the train compartment.
"What's wrong, Judai, did you lose again?"
It's been three days now, and Judai still hasn't won against The Supreme King, which surprised Jim greatly.
In this world, dueling isn't purely luck; many elements have traces. For three consecutive afternoons, Judai hadn't won once, indicating The Supreme King must be far ahead of the present Judai in some level.
But how is that possible?
Judai's duels, he has seen them, honestly, he isn't one hundred percent confident he can definitely win against Judai.
Yet someone told him there's someone using the same series of deck as Judai who can definitely win against him?
Honestly, it's somewhat exaggerated.
"Damn, the Bubbleman draws two cards, Pot of Greed draws two cards, Polymerization followed by Dark Fusion, and then the Poison Bubble Mage again draws two cards. After finishing the draw, he still used Mirage of Nightmare and..." Judai looked distressed, extending his hand, recounting the duel with his friends by counting on his fingers.
Listening to these cards, Jim slowly opened his mouth wide.
Except for Dark Fusion, which he is not familiar with, he doesn't know the Poison Bubble Mage, but just by listening, he can roughly guess its effect. As for the rest of the cards, he recognizes them.
If someone played against him with such a satisfying card draw, he would certainly feel uncomfortable.
Tenjo Hikari listened amusedly.
This should be the first duel for the renowned top-drawer, super lucky guy, and hand card expert Yuki Judai encountering someone "exactly the same" as him—just like everyone envies Judai's Bubbleman appearing to draw cards, Judai's other high-efficiency card draw methods, each when pulled out, are incredibly exaggerated, not to mention the ridiculous forbidden card "Mirage of Nightmare."
And The Supreme King, not only using the same series as Judai, but also seems to have better-quality Heroes that Judai doesn't possess, this world's Super Polymerization, or even having luck that matches or exceeds Judai's.
In terms of strength, without Super Polymerization, Judai certainly can't surpass The Supreme King, so being suppressed in the duel is very normal.
However, what surprised Tenjo Hikari was...
After so many days, Judai showed no signs of mental alteration.
He listened while contemplating.
The mirror he crafted doesn't have protective abilities; it is essentially just a tool that allows someone to see their own soul, so whether talking to oneself or dueling oneself, are things Judai forcibly achieves relying on his own Spirit Power.
In this scenario, The Supreme King defeated Judai but didn't replace Judai's consciousness, which is very astonishing.
Honestly speaking, Tenjo Hikari was actually prepared to duel with the suddenly awakened The Supreme King.
But what surprised Tenjo Hikari was that Judai didn't show any signs of alteration.
It seems his understanding of "The Supreme King and Judai" wasn't as accurate.
At least in this world, they definitely aren't merely a reincarnated or past life relationship.
Of course.
Up to now, he has long accepted the occurrence of such things.
Whether it's Teacher Daitokuji, President Kagemaru, Saiou, or the Wave of Light, due to the influence of multiple dimensions on each other, many things in this world differ from the "original work."
So what exactly is Judai's situation, it seems we can only observe how the future unfolds.
Of course, Tenjo Hikari had discussed these dangers and details with Judai in advance, but Judai didn't mind, so he can only continue to record the current state and decide based on the results.
Returning to the Initial Point, he would go find General Jane. With the credit of defeating Jane and his performance in the duel, even if Jane was unwilling, he would be able to help Judai deal with some relatively less extreme challenges from the Lightsworn.
As for the rest, those more extreme than Jane, where even negotiations with Kaiba Company wouldn't work, the most extreme of extreme justice fanatics, Judai would have to bear them himself.
Regarding Tenjo Hikari, he finally had time to rest properly and also finally had time to embark on a long-awaited dimension travel.
Tenjo Hikari hadn't undertaken dimension travel in a long time.
Although it had only been a little over two months, during those two months, several opportunities were wasted in vain. Now, with free time, there was no need to worry about classmates or the qualifications for the GX Tournament finals, so Tenjo Hikari had the leisure to travel properly.
Before traveling, the first thing to determine was where to go.
Honestly, Tenjo Hikari had quite a few dimensional coordinates on hand now.
The first was the coordinates of the "Magic Academy," which was very important to him personally. Going there would not only allow him to explore more possibilities for "Invoked" but also the chance to obtain coordinates for the other two "Proof of the Three Sages" dimensions. It's an important task for finding the Mage Domain and searching for Teacher Daitokuji, who had transformed into a Card Spirit.
The second was the "Frightfur Sanctuary." Tenjo Hikari had been somewhat wanting the Frightfur Patchwork card for a long time. For Tenjo Hikari, who lacked continuous resource supplementation, this series was a very good choice for resource supplementation.
And the third one...
Tenjo Hikari raised his eyebrows, looking at the information in his notebook.
[DT Dimension].
Nowadays, among countless Spirit Dimensions, the most complete, and also the most "vast" Spirit World, or rather, it was a unique dimension separate from the regular Spirit World.
This dimension had countless series, countless cards, and even other Shaddoll Cards and Gem-Knight Cards. For Tenjo Hikari's current deck composition, it was one of the most meaningful dimensions.
Moreover, it was also the dimension Tiara most wanted to visit.
In fact, after the duel against the Wave of Light, Tiara actively offered the power she had painstakingly accumulated to help Tenjo Hikari fuse. Since then, Tenjo Hikari had been less wary of Tiara. If he wanted to travel, going to this dimension he had always wanted to visit was feasible.
After all, whether it was "El Shaddoll Shekhinaga," "El Shaddoll Anoyatyllis," or "Infernoid Devyaty," it seemed that conventional means were ineffective, and he still had to go to the DT Spirit Realm to see the situation.
However, there was also a problem—
That dimension was dangerous and couldn't be visited lightly.
Especially with Tiara by his side, it was even more dangerous.
The legend of Tiara in the DT Dimension was said to be ten times, a hundred times more terrifying than the legend of The Supreme King in the Spirit World. Although even a high-level spirit like El Shaddoll Construct didn't know Tiara's story, the significance was clear.
"Really conflicted." Tenjo Hikari put down his pen, hands folded behind his head, thinking in the car.
Apart from these three, there were many other places he could go, like the Mountain, like the Secret Village of the Spellcasters. Especially the Secret Village of the Spellcasters, it had been so long since he had visited the Magical Scientist. Who knew what impressive Fusion Monster it might have acquired?
He should at least challenge its endgame, right?
As for the Mountain, Little Thunder Dragon had also been missing family recently, so he should report its safety and see if he could find other Thunder Dragon Fusions...
There were other places too, like Predaplanet...
While everyone had their own ideas, Serena, seeing that the people around her were no longer paying attention, curiously looked at the mirror in front of Judai.
In fact—
She had been curious a few days before, but since the matter concerned Senior Judai's "life and death" and "personal will," she hadn't proactively asked.
Today, sitting right across from Senior Judai, she saw Senior Judai diving into studying his deck again. Curious, she extended a hand and asked if she could take a look. Receiving a nod of approval, she picked up the mirror and examined it.
When Kenzan or Senior Shou looked into the mirror, it showed nothing, but Senior Judai could see the Supreme King within himself.
Therefore, she was curious and also slightly... terrified.
A few days ago, she had caught a glimpse and unexpectedly saw a girl with long braids with slight purple highlights in her hair.
Now that she looked again, it was indeed not her mistake at the time.
She saw a girl who looked exactly like her but had her eyes completely closed and showed no reaction.
Surrounding the girl were things she was very familiar with, things she had seen many times.
Some... strange nutrient solutions.
Carefully, she turned the mirror in her hand over, mirror side down on the table, trying hard to suppress her shock and puzzlement, and in a relatively calm voice asked, "Master, can you teach me how to make this thing?"
"Hmm? What? Are you referring to the mirror?" Tenjo Hikari had just made up his mind to visit each place one by one when he heard Serena's words. He looked up thoughtfully and said, "The principle might be a bit early for you, but as for the simple creation, it's just a matter of following the correct steps and materials. I don't have any on hand right now, but I plan to visit the workshop soon, so I could."
Seeing Serena interested in an alchemy product was a rare sight, and Tenjo Hikari didn't want to be stingy.
After all, this was an observation tool Tenjo Hikari had created to extract "The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion." In essence, it was made for Serena, so if she wanted to learn, he would teach her.
"Thank you, Master!" Serena said happily, swinging her legs.
