My name is Tenjo Hikari.
Polymerization Tenjo Hikari, Duel Academy's Tenjo Hikari, Extreme Tenjo Hikari.
I don't care about pain, don't care about resentment, don't care about torment!
As long as I can [polymerize], no matter what it is, I can accept it!!"
Tenjo Hikari slowly inhaled, declaring to the endless darkness behind the gate.
"So, Spirits—are there any willing to rewrite a brand new [Polymerization] with me!!"
The chill intensified, resentment materialized, lining the shadows from all directions behind the gate, staring deathly at Tenjo Hikari and the three people behind him with blood-red eyes.
Ed felt a chill, even at this moment he felt a bit of pain, involuntarily using his left hand to cover his right hand.
Impressive—
He exclaimed inwardly.
As expected of Minister Tenjo.
Standing outside the gate, he felt the pain. Facing countless resentments, countless Spirit "souls," how does Tenjo Hikari stand steadily before countless spirits, enduring that terrifying pain?
Amon and two others felt the pressure as well, realizing how exaggerated the person standing within the gate, Tenjo Hikari, truly is.
Boom—
Boom—
A sound as colossal as a mountain collapsing echoed in the darkness.
Tenjo Hikari's lips curled upward, excitedly looking up.
In the darkness, a creature draped in a huge black cloak stepped to the front of the gate, under the pitch-black robe, only a pair of blood-red eyes quietly watched Tenjo Hikari.
"Human—"
It opened its mouth, a bloody and foul stench spread out, forcing Aiko to involuntarily take a step back, and just that mere step back made her scream suddenly, clutching her head in agony.
"Aiko!" "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Amon and Ed quickly spoke.
She paused for a moment, gently shook her head, indicating she was fine, but at the same time, she realized one thing—she had lost her [qualification]!
"Tenjo Hikari." Tenjo Hikari did not worry about those behind him, calmly stating his name once more.
"Hikari? An interesting name." The giant creature gently patted the ground, causing the earth to tremble as if a meteor had fallen.
"Hikari, do you dare say it once again in front of me?"
"Heh... What's there to fear!" Tenjo Hikari extended his fist, speaking to the enormous red eyes in the sky like stars, "I am Tenjo Hikari, Duel Academy's Tenjo Hikari, seeking polymerization's Tenjo Hikari, pursuing the ultimate, absolute polymerization's Tenjo Hikari!
As long as you are willing to join me, believe in me, recognize me, no matter who you are, you're welcome! I also guarantee that I will never forget!"
"Hmph, words are unsubstantiated—" The giant shadow breathed again, this time flames seemed to rise in the darkness, incredible pain engulfed the participants who still qualified. Ed and Amon couldn't help but furrow their brows, and genuine wounds began appearing on Tenjo Hikari.
Tenjo Hikari casually wiped the wounds on his face, removing the blood, the smile on his face remained, understandingly saying: "Of course. If I just bragged here, it wouldn't prove anything.
So..."
Tenjo Hikari raised his left hand, the Duel Disk automatically activated, spinning rapidly, then emitting a changeful purple glow.
Even without saying anything else, the meaning was self-evident.
In this world, besides duels, what else can be more convincing?
The giant red eyes slightly shrank, seemingly, that giant spirit squinted.
"Interesting—then, human warrior Hikari who claims to pursue polymerization, prove yourself to all spirits with a Duel Ceremony!"
"Duel!" X2.
