After tidying up, Tenjo Hikari returned to the station.
Both students and Professional Duelists were talking about the strange spectacle in the sky earlier. The blue flame was unlike anything they had ever seen, but it didn't seem dangerous. They just thought it was the "weather" of the Spirit World and discussed it enthusiastically.
Tenjo Hikari looked at Tierra, who had his hands behind his head, gazing at the sky, pretending not to notice.
In front of his own creation, the spirits, Tierra truly decided to "stop pretending."
To win, he really was using all his "stats."
Seeing Tenjo Hikari, Mitsuzawa and Serena couldn't help but recall the earlier sight and marveled at the wonders of the Spirit World.
Indeed.
The Spirit World must have weather phenomena unseen in the Human World.
But it's definitely not the Void Weather.
Tenjo Hikari talked with Mitsuzawa and Serena for a while, telling them he was nearly recovered, and so the three of them continued their journey.
They were next going to return to the Forest Station, then head to the rainforest area.
This time, no one stopped the students from moving. Tenjo Hikari and his group smoothly got on the transport. This time, it was different from before; while on the transport, Tierra, sitting next to Tenjo Hikari, surprisingly pulled out a Deck from somewhere and occasionally asked Tenjo Hikari questions, which amazed Mitsuzawa and Serena.
Because typically, during a Spirit Duel, the Deck is a manifestation of their power. If it transforms into cards, few spirits can give a Duelist a whole batch of cards all at once. That's why many students, even with the support of spirits, only end up with a few important cards in their Deck.
Otherwise, they could just replace their Deck with spirit cards, and wouldn't need to worry about spending money on Card packs.
But the fact that Tierra could alter the Deck physically was a new discovery for them.
Fortunately, they didn't ask Tierra about it, otherwise, Tierra would have confidently used a line he learned from Tenjo Hikari, saying, "It's not spirit, it's God!"
The situation would have gotten out of hand.
The upcoming rainforest had a Star Level of 4, a destination Mitsuzawa was particularly interested in, even though this Star Level overlapped with the level of the Badge in Tenjo Hikari's hand. However, Tenjo Hikari didn't mind.
He had already gathered five seals, and in the next six months, he only needed to collect three more seals of different levels. The time was quite ample, and under such circumstances, traveling in the Critical Point World with friends was evidently much more fun.
With the rumbling sounds, the three of them set off on their journey again.
Initial Point of the Critical Point Dimension.
Saiou was sitting in a chair at this moment, gently tapping the table with his fingers, frowning in deep thought.
At this moment, his table was in a mess, with cards scattered all over.
However, he wasn't in any hurry to tidy up the cards; he just left them there and stared at the table.
Looking closely at the table, almost all the cards were facing down, except for one card with its face up.
The 15th card of the Major Arcana...
The Devil.
Archfiend?
He repeatedly confirmed the card.
Was he seeing it wrong?
Why would it be the Archfiend?
He pondered deeply.
Just a moment ago, the entire dimension experienced a mutation, as if some ancient existence had finally awakened and unleashed its power.
During that time, he was affected, causing the cards in his hand to drop and scatter everywhere.
But—
This wasn't something to worry about.
In Divination, such accidental, offhand incidents often also indicate "divine will."
But the problem is.
The target he had just been divining for was Tenjo Hikari, the new "Death" he was preparing.
The card endowed with the Wave of Light seemed to have had no effect on the other party.
And in this accident, he saw the Archfiend card.
It was a reversed-Archfiend, too.
What does that mean?
Even Saiou, who was proficient in Divination and had the ability to control destiny and foresee the future, was momentarily confused.
Archfiend and Tenjo Hikari?
Is there any connection between these two?
The Sun, the Archfiend, Tenjo Hikari, truly an incomprehensible man.
But—
Since there is the Archfiend, it further proves his thinking! After all, the reversed-Archfiend foretells that good things are about to happen, aligning exactly with his initial thought! As expected, Tenjo Hikari, the man who is both the Sun and the Archfiend, can help him achieve his goal of destroying the Dimension!
He slowly shuffled the cards together.
As he pondered over the "Archfiend."
Somewhere in the Critical Point.
"Everyone, goodbye!!"
"Goodbye~~~"
Judai smiled and bid farewell to the spirits.
Over a few days, they helped the spirits rebuild their home, which gave him and his two companions an inexplicable sense of achievement and great satisfaction. Now it was time to challenge the next Badge, so they said farewell to the spirits.
The spirits conferred upon them the highest courtesy, seeing them off as they left the newly built small village, and some spirits even suggested making statues for the three of them, receiving quite a bit of agreement from other spirits.
After about three to four hours.
On the mountain opposite the village, at the very top of the peak, a cloud mixed with purple lightning suddenly formed, and then one peculiar Archfiend after another, with bodies covered in slime, flew out from within.
"Ha, the Critical Point, the long-lost taste, how refreshing." A silver-white Archfiend moved its neck, laughing heartily.
Sillva, Warlord of Dark World!
Beside it, another Archfiend of similar size closed its eyes and sensed for a while, then opened its eyes and grinned maliciously, "No doubt, no doubt! This is the place!"
Latinum, Exarch of Dark World!
And in between them, an Archfiend opened the portrait in its hand, gazed at the distorted image, sniffed the air, and said, "The kind of power that Lord Supreme King desires, there's no mistake. It indeed appeared here!"
Lucent, Netherlord of Dark World!
After sensing the environment, its expression changed slightly, saying with a hint of solemnity, "There seems to be some strong Archfiend aura in the air... It seems there are other Archfiends eyeing this Dimension—
But warriors! We are Dark World!!"
One Archfiend after another flew out from the black cloud, forming a massive Archfiend army, facing it, they lined up, saluted, and responded, "We are Dark World!"
"Let's go! Warriors!"
"Loyalty to Lord Supreme King!"
It raised its hand, shouting the slogan.
"Loyalty to Lord Supreme King!" "Loyalty to Lord Supreme King!" "Loyalty to Lord Supreme King!"
Archfiends flew out overwhelmingly from the black mist on the mountain, shouting the slogan, like a demon army sweeping across the sky, turning the sky into a dark ink color.
A black cloud.
A cloud composed of Archfiends abruptly emerged during the early stages of this GX Tournament!
Perhaps someone would notice the interference of Archfiends, perhaps someone would be fortunate enough not to encounter Archfiends until after the tournament, but someone had already taken a deep breath, preparing to face the "Archfiend" directly.
In a hot spring.
Manjome Jun took a few deep breaths and walked forward step by step.
He initially decided to head to Kaiba Company headquarters, but after so many days, although he had obtained a full three Badges, he still hadn't made up his mind to enter Kaiba Company headquarters until yesterday.
Until just now, he heard there was a hot spring here and thought about relieving some stress before going to the headquarters—
Relieve stress, or...
Thud—
Thud—
He suddenly heard footsteps, turned abruptly, and saw a tall figure with a mysterious masked person with a card hanging in front of their chest.
"Who are you!" he instinctively shouted.
"Hm..." The mysterious masked person stared at him, sneering, "Useless fellow."
He directly raised his left hand, revealing a Duel Disk while also raising a GX Badge.
The Badge Star Level is...
Twelve Stars!
Twelve Stars??!
Manjome's eyes widened.
This place was actually where a Special Duelist resided!?
Damn, those guys didn't say a word!
They just wanted others to suffer the same fate after getting beaten up!
Nevertheless, since the other side provoked first, he couldn't show weakness!
"Hmph, a hidden person!" Manjome swiftly took out the Duel Disk, swiftly attaching it to his left hand, "The person before you is the most outstanding Duelist from the main school of Duel Academy, Fusion Department, Manjome Thunder!
Remember, that is the name of the person who will defeat you—"
"Oh ho… Well, I am the righteous Hero, Kaibaman!"
Kaibaman?
Manjome didn't immediately react.
And at that moment—
The Duel had already begun!!
Manjome Thunder, LP: 4000.
Kaibaman, LP: 4000.
