After spending a few days with the Spirit of the Alliance Army to help the Frightfurs organize their two dimensions, Tenjo Hikari attended a few more days of classes before returning to the Critical Point.
This adventure in the Frightfur Sanctuary can be said to be the most rewarding dimension travel experience for Tenjo Hikari.
Besides his initial target, "Edge Imp Chain," Tenjo Hikari also acquired many Fluffal cards.
Actually, Tenjo Hikari could have directly taken all of Burns' deck away, but he checked those cards, finding that many of them were spirits forcibly turned into cards by the Fusion Army's Duel Disk. Although it wouldn't have been a big deal to use them, Tenjo Hikari chose to leave them in the Frightfur Factory's dimension, allowing them to recover faster under Tierra's accelerated cycle.
Therefore, Tenjo Hikari only obtained some cards from the high-level spirits of the Frightfur tribe.
These included their cards from before they "combined," as well as some other cards.
A very large number.
After counting them, Tenjo Hikari found he had seven or eight Frightfur Patchwork cards.
Honestly, it was too many.
Even though Tenjo Hikari had never used a Frightfur deck, he actually had Frightfur Fusion and Frightfur Patchwork cards, just that he didn't have any Low-Level Monsters or Fusion Monsters to use them with.
Suddenly getting so many cards left Tenjo Hikari unsure of how to deal with them.
Returning to the Critical Point Dimension, Tenjo Hikari didn't rush to leave the Knight Domain, after all, he had promised Gaia to watch the performance of its newly chosen Domain Lord.
The new Domain Lord was a not particularly robust Knight Spirit, much smaller than Gaia, maybe only with a three-star Spirit Adaptability, completely not high in the Knight Domain, maybe even relatively low.
But Gaia had high hopes for him.
As the spirit underwent the trial and dueled with Gaia, Tenjo Hikari gradually watched and realized—it was a Duel Spirit using rituals.
So that's it, no wonder Gaia liked this spirit so much.
In a force pursuing fusion, it chose Ritual Summon instead and even dared to challenge Gaia—the courage Gaia greatly admired.
Not blindly following others, nor opposing for the sake of opposing, but firmly believing in their own path, not logically getting stuck. At least for the development of a local spirit, it was something to look forward to.
Thus, with several five-star Warrior Spirits in the domain, Gaia planned to give specialized training to this spirit for another month, then choose to leave.
The spirits naturally couldn't bear to see this "Great Lord" who saved them leave, but Gaia was straightforward, it was to carry out its knight and warrior ideals that it guarded this region, and now, the spirits here already had initial resilience, so it had to watch them charge on their own in the face of difficulties, just like a warrior.
Moreover, it wouldn't completely stop checking on them.
As spirits, their lifespans are very long, so there would always be a time for reunion.
Honestly, after adventures in two Spirit Dimensions and even experiencing a Darkness Duel, Tenjo Hikari didn't feel tired. His Spirit Adaptability had strengthened over the past six months, and with the Light Power from Boss Hikari, his adaptability had already improved to LV 7, so dimension travel didn't tire him at all.
However, he didn't continue adventuring. On one hand, Tenjo Hikari didn't want to go on adventures consecutively, as if something happened here without his attention, it would be very regrettable.
On the other hand, for the upcoming adventure in the DT Dimension, Tenjo Hikari planned to create some other cards with Tierra.
Just right, he still had a lot of various miscellaneous materials yet unused, perfect for practicing and creating "Infernoid" to prepare for making Qliphort in the future, a good choice. More importantly, Tenjo Hikari wanted to experiment with the new Alchemy books he had been reading during this time.
While Tenjo Hikari was busy experimenting, time at the Critical Point continued to move normally.
Although the attack from the Dark World caused the GX Tournament to pause for a brief period of over half a month, it started slowly reopening after the Dark World's Dragon Lord failed.
To make the tournament fairer, Kaiba Company and Professor Cronos negotiated and extended the tournament by 20 days. So, as long as participants collected four stamps within the specified time, they would pass.
Of course, students with ambition could pursue more stamps within this time to achieve higher rankings; or, like Principal Samejima's initial vision, interact with the spirits during this period, and even directly gain their support.
Surprisingly—
During this time, many students collaborated with Lightsworn Spirits to obtain Lightsworn Cards.
Not only Lightsworn, some people even daringly sought cooperation with the spirits of the Dark World, which remained inactive on the Mountain after the defeat.
However, although their idea was good, unfortunately, this wasn't the Dark World Dimension, the Dark World here now only listened to, and dared only to listen to Judai.
Because if they didn't listen, they might get completely wiped out by Lightsworn.
And Judai, he actually wanted to participate in the tournament, as he had already collected several stamps and, with a bit of effort, could easily gather the remaining four to get eight, but Lightsworn kept a close watch, making it difficult for him to act freely.
Besides, every day, he would duel with The Supreme King, and every time when he felt he was about to win, he would inexplicably lose. Most importantly—why was Super Polymerization so powerful?
He thought about this every day.
Each time he thought he was close to victory, Super Polymerization would remind him who was the boss in these internal battles.
Yet, not without good news either.
Judai leaned on the sofa, gazing at the sky, looking at the cards in his hand.
Evil Hero Toxic Bubble, Evil Hero Dead-End Prison; Elemental Hero Terra Firma, Elemental Hero Earth Core Hero; Masked Hero Blast, Masked Hero Divine Wind…
Throughout this time, his deck suddenly had more of these cards.
These were all cards used by The Supreme King.
Could it be…
He looked outside the window, where a Lightsworn Dragon flew by, causing an uproar among the students on the road, leaving a trail of stardust behind.
Could it be…
He realized these cards did not suddenly "appear."
Instead, they had always been his cards, as he battled The Supreme King more and more, he understood more that The Supreme King's power was neither good nor evil, so these cards gradually revealed themselves.
But there was still a serious problem.
To this day, apart from speaking a few thoughts during the first duel, The Supreme King never said another word, like a cold, emotionless dueling robot.
"Ah ah ah!!" He couldn't stand it anymore, flipping around lazily on the sofa, "So troublesome!"
Meanwhile…
"What's the deal? Are spirits warring with us?" Manjome held a phone, eyes squinting into a slit, with countless question marks popping out along his head.
"What's the deal, Judai defeated the invading Archfiend but got scrutinized?" Manjome leaned back in disbelief, "Honestly, isn't Judai a hero?"
"What, what, what's going on with the Lightsworn—can someone explain this?"
"Eh eh, has the Light Society changed its nature??"
Manjome kept scratching the back of his head.
What happened while he was taken by his master to battle the AI robots?
