The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion.
A Monster Card that can be used as Fusion material in place of the card name listed.
This card was drawn by Serena while drawing card packs for Tenjo Hikari, and it holds extraordinary significance.
Last year, when Tenjo Hikari was dealing with the Fusion Army and incidentally retrieving the "Three Phantasm Fragments" from them, this card was fused with two other materials, giving birth to the Chaos Phantasm - Armityle.
This year, Tenjo Hikari has been trying to master the extraction technology, making numerous attempts, even successfully extracting the "Fighting Flame Dragon" using the Flame Swordsman, then re-fusing it to elevate to the "Ultimate Flame Swordsman."
It could be said that Tenjo Hikari's alchemy project for this year essentially revolved around extracting this card from the Chaos Phantasm.
And now...
After extensive trials, with his Spirit Power reaching LV 8 and Tierra possessing "Baal," Tenjo Hikari finally exhausted resources to extract this card back.
"Phew——" Tenjo Hikari sighed in relief.
He must store this card safely now.
The good news is that he now has the means to preserve specific monsters; in addition, Tenjo Hikari's control over Super Polymerization has improved significantly compared to before.
He turned back to look at Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Phantom of Fury, a card that serves as a subsequent strengthening card in the OCG, with effects much stronger than the original Armityle. However, in the original work, it was just one of Armityle's abilities.
But in Tenjo Hikari's case, it's a direct, genuine evolution.
To extract the Hex-Sealed creature, this card has even been refined and elevated by Tenjo Hikari multiple times. Naturally, to replace the Hex-Sealed creature, the Lord of Phantasms also successfully integrated, making the Chaos Phantasm's material thoroughly legitimate.
He tidied up his cards, seeing Tierra in the sky controlling the flames to recover those materials.
The explosion caused by Armityle's birth was something even the spirits in Tenjo Hikari's camp could not fully withstand, and Tierra, not yet in complete form, had still lost some puppets and machinery.
To complete this experiment, Tenjo Hikari used a large number of materials collected recently, including those provided by Genex and Endymion. Correspondingly, these materials infected by Phantasms just happened to be the ones Tierra needed.
This was why Tierra was so generous in letting Tenjo Hikari use them freely.
She controlled her Archfiends to recover the materials.
From "Baal" onwards, strictly speaking, Yadmilar, Lilith, and Namah above Baal required not just ordinary mechanical materials; sufficient "Malice" or "Divinity" of a high enough grade was necessary to manufacture.
Though Tierra herself could provide them, it was extremely slow to manufacture like this. Now, with local Archfiends providing malice, production became much more convenient.
However——
Tierra glanced at the panicked spirits, using Puppet Strings to collect the materials.
The furnace would probably need a long time to start up again, as this explosion indeed caused damage within the Great Cosmic Workshop, likely requiring a lengthy repair.
During this period, attempting to manufacture new body components would be impossible.
Tenjo Hikari left the smoke-filled workshop, stepping outside to breathe in the air slightly, startlingly discovering plant-type spirits and Genex spirits beginning to alter the environment.
Turning this truly into a habitable planet?
Tenjo Hikari scratched the back of his head but didn't dwell on the issue.
He opened the Emerald Book, flipping through its contents.
Successfully extracting the Hex-Sealed Fusion, Tenjo Hikari felt his mind clearer than ever; if nothing unexpected happens, he would soon be able to solve all the "Dimensional Coordinate Point" puzzles within the entire book.
But before that, there was one change he wanted to make in this book.
Namely, the point about "returning to the Great Cosmic Workshop at any time within the Duel Academy."
Though convenient, it was still insufficiently so; Tenjo Hikari decided to enhance the book's efficacy, enabling it to return to the Great Cosmic Workshop in any Human World, making it far better— As at the Critical Point Dimension, he could only stay within, with no opportunity to explore other dimensions, which was a drawback.
Yet this project was a bit large, requiring some time before it could be completed.
After all, he felt the Red Dragon's voice growing louder.
In the end, after two fruitless days, he gave up.
He wasn't in a rush; he could attempt to improve the Emerald Book in the S Dimension as well.
Tenjo Hikari and his companions were repairing in the Great Cosmic Workshop when suddenly, one day, a dragon's roar echoed, ceasing his movements as he blinked, finding himself on a strange street.
"Eh... This was way too efficient?"
Tenjo Hikari turned, looking around bewildered.
The next moment, Tierra suddenly appeared beside him, glancing around, saying in passing: "Didn't expect you to vanish in a blink, good thing spirit bodies can always appear in cards."
She was idly eating cup noodles when she turned and saw Tenjo Hikari vanish.
"Where is this place..." Tenjo Hikari gazed around, deciding to find someone to ask for directions first.
The Red Dragon, indeed powerful, could even transport someone through time, but its lack of human speech was truly outrageous.
