On the other side, Akaba Ling'Er pushed his glasses.
The meeting went quite smoothly, every Dimension felt they had gained a lot; even beside Tenjo Kaito, who sat in a daze in the Xyz Dimension, there was a dedicated robot engaged in heated discussions.
Each Dimension brought out their unique items and shared them with other Dimensions to obtain what was more "valuable" for them.
But for some reason.
Akaba Ling'Er had a vague sense of crisis.
Infinite energy, Moment technology... Should this technology really be brought back to his own world?
For some unknown reason, he was extremely uneasy.
Yet, he did not know where this unease came from.
Even the God named Sofia herself was not actually interested in the Moment; what she was more concerned about was the destruction, pollution, animosity, and bullying among humans in this world.
Having spent some time in this Dimension, he also realized that Sofia spoke of Tierra resetting the world, but if given the chance, Sofia would surely reset this world, for in her eyes, the people here are "failed" and "defective".
She harbors no malice towards humans, the world, or Synchro, she simply dislikes a terrible world and a broken environment.
In other words, to Akaba Ling'Er, she is an "Extreme Environmentalist God".
But she is not very hostile towards technology itself, just uninterested.
So—
The unease in his heart definitely does not come from Sofia.
Then what is the reason?
Why did the technologies from Fusion Dimension and Xyz Dimension not give him this dangerous feeling?
He must figure this out, or he will absolutely not bring the Moment technology back to his Dimension, no matter the scorn he might bear, it is absolutely not acceptable.
While they discussed these matters, Kurosaki Shun, who had been listening silently from the side, folded his arms, wore a cold expression, and listened to the increasingly heated atmosphere without uttering a word.
Even though Tenjo Kaito was sitting in the meeting room next door, he did not want to go out and reunite with him at this moment.
Because the negotiation with Fusion itself was, in his eyes, unacceptable, hence, upon hearing that "Orbital 7" was becoming more and more engaging and joyfully chatting, he snorted twice and left.
There must be yet undisclosed plots from Fusion Dimension, even the renowned teams of Synchro Dimension had been infiltrated, he could no longer trust anyone else.
Only Duel, and only himself!
He must rely on his own strength to break through Fusion's schemes and save his sister.
That is why he decided to seize this opportunity, leave City Hall, conceal his identity once again, and head to City to search for secrets of this world and those of Fusion Dimension.
The two girls he saw before who resembled his sister captured his attention quite a bit.
At this moment.
Jack quietly left his own team too.
In fact, a few days ago, he had already decided to leave the team and head to the Noble Area, but because there was a Duel to be conducted, he hadn't felt secure enough to leave, so he stayed.
Now, with a break between matches, he decided to leave.
Taking advantage of the night, he sneakily departed from the base, but did not expect...
"Jack." Outside the base, Tenjo Hikari was holding an unknown machine, carefully observing the sky.
When he heard a sound, he called out Jack's name without even looking.
"Tenjo Hikari, why are you here."
Tenjo Hikari put down the transparent goggles in his hand, shook his head, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Jack, you look so pensive all the time, don't you think others can't tell."
Yusei, Crow, which one isn't as perceptive as a fox, especially Crow, he's like the team's mom, always predicting what Jack would eat or drink, seeing Jack deep in thought all day, how could he not know what Jack intends to do?
"Do you want to go out and do something?"
"...I don't have to tell you!" Jack asserted firmly.
"...Hah, fair enough." Tenjo Hikari chuckled.
People are different; Jack's bad side lies in his personality, but his good side does too.
"But Yusei and the others would worry about you."
"No matter!" Jack waved his hand determinately and said, "Tenjo, if they ask, you just need to tell them that the King is off to seek a power that matches the King's name!"
"Need any help?" Tenjo Hikari continued to ask.
He and Jack once positively collaborated in Arcadia Movement, with Tenjo handling the Artificial God created by Divine and darkness while Jack rescued the children controlled and possessing Psychic prowess during the Duel.
Honestly, this was quite an achievement, far more important than Crow rescuing a couple of upper-class kids in the past. But Jack never publicized it, and as rumors spread, it seems more people only know Tenjo Hikari saved people back then.
Because in Jack's view, a King doesn't need explanations, a King's rescue of his people is a matter of course.
This is one of the reasons Tenjo Hikari is quite friendly toward this world's Jack Atlas.
He indeed possesses the magnanimity of a King—his only downside being a lack of "wisdom".
Just like when Crow complains, Jack is too childish.
"...Thank you, Tenjo." He took a deep breath and silently pondered for a long time, "But a true Duelist should trust their own judgment! Just as you never doubted Fusion, my path as a King will be initiated by myself and undertaken by myself."
