"A Tuner Monster!?" Some of the Upper-class People watching the pursuit duel exclaimed in shock.
Tenjo Hikari was trying hard to press the accelerator, but unfortunately, despite his efforts to speed up, the car's speed wouldn't increase.
However, he didn't care much and simply raised his voice to converse with Ushio: "Officer Ushio, do you know why you react so strongly to my words, why you can't understand the people of the Lower City?"
"What are you trying to say?" Ushio was somewhat confused.
"The real reason is that you haven't even tried to understand others, not even the people of the Lower City. You just rely on instinct, duty, and imagination to make your own judgments.
It's too narrow-minded!"
Ushio silently looked back at Tenjo Hikari. He didn't understand, but he did reflect a little on what Hikari said.
"And now, I'll tell you why I came to this Dimension and why I said I want to pursue a higher level of fusion here, because I want to understand!
To understand more about dueling and your Dimension's duels, to make my fusion stronger!
Activate Normal Spell Card!
Ultra Polymerization!"
"Ultra Polymerization?" Just hearing the name, Ushio knew this was something he had never seen before.
"Pay 2000 Life Points to activate. Send 2 Fusion Material Monsters determined by the Fusion Monster Card from your field to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon."
Tenjo Hikari LP: 2400 → 400.
"It requires a full 2000 Life Points?"
The Glow-Up Bloom and Vampire Fraulein slowly turned into a vortex and disappeared by Tenjo Hikari's side.
"With the souls of the two deceased, summon Nethersoul Dragon!"
"Break through the gates of the Netherworld!"
"Fusion Summon!"
Tenjo Hikari raised his left hand; he felt his left hand heating up, with the Dark Sign emitting even more obvious Red Light, as if something was awakening.
Moreover, he vaguely heard strange hoofbeats echoing behind him.
"Descend, LV 8!"
"Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon!"
Boom!
Boom!
A huge Skelgon furiously smashed the "air," tearing a big hole in the sky and appearing in this world.
"Roarrrrr!!!!"
It roared madly, venting its anger and proclaiming — it had returned!
Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack Power 3000.
"Nethersoul Dragon... Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon?" Ushio looked at the giant dragon in shock, feeling that this dragon was extraordinary.
"But with only 3000 Attack Power, it's useless." Ushio looked at the display screen on his D-wheel.
As long as he held on, he might win.
"Activate the effect of Ultra Polymerization from the Graveyard. Banish this card from the Graveyard and target 1 Monster that was Fusion Summoned using the effect of this card. Special Summon the group of Fusion Material Monsters used by the summoned Monster from your Graveyard. The Special Summoned Monsters by this effect have their Attack Power and Defense Power reduced to 0, and their effects are negated."
"What? Why summon these two Monsters at this point... even their Attack Power becomes 0."
"Haha, isn't it obvious? It's for using your Dimension's technique."
"...!!!??" Ushio looked at Tenjo Hikari in astonishment.
Tenjo Hikari raised his hand: "Use the LV 1 Glow-Up Bloom and LV 5 Vampire Fraulein for Tuning!"
"Come forth, ancient Fusion explorer!"
"Synchro Summon, LV 6, Muddy Mudragon!"
Muddy Mudragon, LV 6, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack Power 500.
The Mudragon spread its wings made of mud, flying forward with Tenjo Hikari.
"You even mastered Synchro?" Ushio exclaimed in disbelief.
An Other Dimension Person had actually learned their Dimension's Synchro Summon—
[Because I want to understand!]
That sentence wasn't false after all!
"Muddy Mudragon can substitute for 1 Fusion Monster whose name is recorded as Fusion Material. Synchro Summoned, it can also directly activate its effect to fuse with Monsters on the field.
However, what I want to use is this—
Normal Spell Card, Miracle Synchro Fusion!"
"Synchro... Fusion?" Ushio's eyes widened slowly.
"Synchro Fusion!? To actually merge our Synchro and the ancient Fusion into one card!?" People from the Upper Area also gasped in amazement.
There is both Synchro and Fusion!
This guy!
"From your field or graveyard, banish the Fusion Material specified by the Fusion Monster Card to Fusion Summon one Fusion Monster using a Synchro Monster as Fusion Material from the Extra Deck.
I banish Muddy Mudragon on the field and Winged Man in the graveyard.
Fusion Summon!"
Boom!
Tenjo Hikari felt the deceleration bound to his car disappear, and his vehicle, under the influence of the wind, instantly sped up.
Not only that—
Accompanied by the more distinct sound of hooves, he looked back and saw an undead horse, its entire body fiery and skeletal, galloping over with blazing flames!
Tenjo Hikari's eyes lit up.
"Awooo!!" In the next second, the Netherworld Dragon also roared joyfully. It seemed to be greeting the reunion of an old friend.
The skeletal horse came to Tenjo Hikari's side, and its figure began to turn ethereal. Under Ushio's perplexed gaze, it slowly merged into Tenjo Hikari's D-wheel, causing Tenjo Hikari's D-wheel to undergo a fierce transformation, growing larger, and the speed he struggled to control crazily increased in sync with his intention.
Moments later, the image of the police D-wheel vanished instantly, replaced by an apocalyptic-style, heavily skeletal-decorated Skeleton Horse D-wheel!
"Wow." Tierra gasped softly on the side. She remembered this skeletal horse; wasn't it the mount of that undead who sent Tenjo Hikari the Netherworld Dragon?
Even though he was driving the D-wheel, Tenjo Hikari faintly heard the sound of hooves. With the activation of the fusion, a massive dragon knight with wings and a dragon spear appeared beside Tenjo Hikari.
"Level 10, Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste!"
Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste, Level 10, Wind Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 3200.
Ushio was already dumbfounded.
"Battle, Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon attacks Goyo King!" But Tenjo Hikari wasn't in the mood to watch his shock.
The Netherworld Dragon exhaled a black torrent at Goyo King, who was persistently obstructing Tenjo Hikari's path. In the next second, Goyo King lost all its strength and knelt on the field.
Ushio Tetsu, LP: 3800→3600.
"Monsters battling with the Netherworld Dragon are not destroyed by that battle. Moreover, when the battle damage step ends, the ATK of the monster that battled it becomes 0, and furthermore, a Dark Soul Token with the same ATK and level as the monster that battled it is Special Summoned to my field."
Dragon Death spat out a white soul, and in the next second, a gray-white Goyo King appeared on Tenjo Hikari's field.
Goyo King, ATK: 2800→0.
"Continue the attack, Dark Soul Token attacks Goyo King."
The Dark Soul Token twirled its javelin and, with a swoosh, struck down Goyo King.
"Guwa!!"
The speed Ushio managed to increase plummeted completely and he was even overtaken by Tenjo Hikari!
Ushio Tetsu, LP: 3600→800.
"It's over now, Officer Ushio, without Goyo King, your Goyo Defender's ATK can only increase to 2000!"
That's right, because with Goyo King lost, only two Goyo monsters were left on the field. As long as Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste attacks, with 3200-2000, Ushio with only 800 LP has no way to withstand this attack.
"Then, to finish, Officer. I hope you understand, or... I hope you won't just be a 'Defender' anymore, and also not just be 'Goyo'!"
"Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste, attack Goyo Defender!"
Tenjo Hikari turned the car, backing it up— originally, he couldn't even manage this maneuver, but now, with the boost from the skeleton horse, Tenjo Hikari could do even that!
Tenjo Hikari was quite delighted.
He had long wanted to try this.
Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste slowly leapt into the air, opening its wings, and raised the dragon spear above its head, seemingly symbolizing Tenjo Hikari's endless pursuit of fusion.
Then, it dived down, pointing the spearhead at Ushio's Goyo Defender, and like a gust of wind, it pierced right through Goyo Defender from the sky.
Meanwhile, the gust also blew Ushio Tetsu backwards, almost making him fall off the track.
"Guwah——"
Ushio Tetsu, LP: 800→0.
"Life Points zero, Duel mode, deactivate."
"Sss——"
A large amount of gas was released from the D-wheel as it began to decelerate, coming to a stop.
Ushio Tetsu stopped his vehicle, looking at the disappearing Tenjo Hikari in the distance, he couldn't help removing his helmet, falling into deep thought.
"Sigh!" After a moment, he ran his hands through his hair in frustration, "Lost to a rookie! So annoying!"
He brooded alone, even the reprimands and orders from his commanding officer over the communicator failed to bring him back to his senses, merely channeling his anger.
But...
"Understanding...huh..."
