The two were very worried about her.
Masumi Kotsu swallowed hard.
The strongest!?
Absolute?!
So exaggerated?
She looked directly at Tenjo Hikari again, feeling as if she was hit by a mind shock, and instinctively felt a jolt in her heart.
"Using the effect of Gem-Knight Fusion in the graveyard, remove Gem-Knight Tourmaline from the graveyard and add it to my hand card."
Master Diamond, ATK: 3300→3200.
Here it comes!
She became nervous.
"Activate Prism Crystal's effect." Tenjo Hikari raised Gem-Knight Fusion before her: "Once per turn, send 1 card from your hand containing 'Gem-Knight' to the Graveyard, targeting 1 face-up card on the field. Destroy that face-up card.
I will destroy your Continuous Spell Card Scatter Fusion."
Ah————
Prism Crystal raised its left hand shield, and the light refracted through its shield penetrated the opponent's Scatter Fusion on the field.
Due to Scatter Fusion's destruction, the monster created based on Scatter Fusion shattered instantly.
"Activate the effect of Gem-Knight Master Diamond." Tenjo Hikari pressed the graveyard, "Remove from your graveyard a Gem-Knight Fusion Monster below level seven, obtaining that monster's effect and card name. I remove Yellow Jade."
Master Diamond, ATK: 3200→3100.
"When Yellow Jade battles, the opponent cannot activate Magic, Trap, Monster effects until the end of the damage step..."
"Remember it well."
"Why not use the more explosive Yellow Jade?"
"That's because I can't deal with your two Set Cards."
After Tenjo Hikari's response, he pointed at his opponent: "Attack, direct attack with Master Diamond."
Master Diamond raised the giant Rainbow Sword in its hand, and the gems on the sword sparkled with bright colors, shining on Masumi Kotsu. In her confusion, she suddenly felt a sharp pain throughout her body, losing a large amount of life instantly.
Masumi Kotsu, LP: 4000→900.
"Prism Crystal, direct attack."
"Wait, activate Trap Card—Draining Shield."
Tenjo Hikari was a bit surprised.
So that's what was set.
"Upon opponent's monster attack declaration, target 1 attacking monster. Negate that monster's attack, and regain life points equal to that monster's ATK."
Prism Crystal's refracted light hit the transparent shield, and then the light from the gems started to heal Masumi Kotsu's life points like spring water.
Masumi Kotsu, LP: 900→3350.
"Phew——"
Her friend quickly breathed a sigh of relief for her.
Thus, life points became safe again.
However, even so, Masumi Kotsu's speed decreased significantly, becoming quite slow.
Tenjo Hikari raised his eyebrows, looked at his hand cards, and set one of them down.
"End turn."
"You keep asking if we understand ourselves, what is it exactly that you're asking?" Masumi Kotsu tried hard to control the vehicle and accompany Tenjo Hikari, while also making an effort to speak.
"My father is a famous gemstone merchant. Since childhood, I've seen countless gemstones. In my eyes, Gem Knights are such dazzling cards."
She looked at Tenjo Hikari, hesitated a moment, worried about the momentum, but said nonetheless: "In my eyes, you shine like a diamond—however, I've heard you're a duelist from the Fusion Dimension, right?
As a Fusion Master from the Fusion Dimension, teaming up with 5DS members, helping them to possibly defeat your own world, is such a duel, such a strategy, really right?
This world's people wouldn't believe you either!"
"A very reasonable question." Tenjo Hikari suddenly became very interested.
He found the girl wasn't what you'd call "clueless." On the contrary, she had her own ideas.
"Then, have you heard of Yusei's previous determination?"
?
Fudou Yusei's determination.
"He wants to connect all friends capable of cooperation, to overcome difficulties together and create a whole new future."
"Too vague."
"Yes—vague, but he fulfilled it all."
Masumi Kotsu blinked.
"Through practical performance, time and again showcasing his will and conviction, that is...what a true duelist insists on."
Then, he smiled, extended his arms, and boldly shouted at the chasing camera: "Sorry, all Synchro Dimension viewers, and other Dimension viewers! I'm not [Light], but a duelist from the Fusion Dimension!
I am the Absolute Fusion Master pursuing Extreme Fusion. I am Tenjo Hikari from the Fusion Dimension! You may not have seen me, but you should all have heard—what I insist on in dueling, yes, that's — [Fusion is the noblest summoning method], anyone willing to join me in Fusion Summon, pursuing Fusion Summon, regardless of who, is very welcome!
Because, what I seek is...ultimate fusion, the fusion of life, the fusion of conviction...absolute fusion! Therefore, even if it's different summoning methods, even if it's different convictions, it doesn't matter, because fusion is inclusive!
Inclusive of different ideologies, inclusive of opposing ideologies, inclusive of each other's determination."
Masumi Kotsu was dumbstruck.
Tenjo Hikari lowered his hand, looking at his opponent: "Using Gem Knights, using the fusion summons unfamiliar to your dimension, these are no big deal. The key is, what do you want to do."
Masumi Kotsu looked at Tenjo Hikari, momentarily wondering if he was crazy.
But the next second, she recalled the bizarre man who suddenly appeared and attacked Yuzu a few days ago.
Her words, nearly spoken, transformed into this:
