Tenjo Hikari raised an eyebrow.
"Let me ask you a question, Tenjo Hikari, what do you think the Cosmos truly is?"
"The Cosmos."
"Seeing the Mountain as a Mountain," Akaba Leo began to speak, "But to me, it's not like that. This Cosmos, this world, is merely an 'Egg.'
His face finally changed its expression, revealing an indescribable madness and excitement.
"I am the world's most outstanding scientist! Years ago, with the support of many people, I completed an epoch-making experiment—Physical Image Technology!
Using duels, utilizing the energy of duels, and the spirit of duelists, it's possible to convert images into solid entities and transform light into matter!"
Tenjo Hikari knew that Akaba Leo indeed participated in the creation of such an invention.
He stretched out his hand, holding it up as he spoke: "Think about it, Tenjo Hikari, use your 'Polymerization' mind to think. Since it's possible to create matter via duels and Physical Image Technology, is there still pressure for humans to survive?
No, because humans can use Physical Image Technology to create endless food."
Tenjo Hikari frowned as he listened to his words.
"If so, then why should the world have war? Why should there be conflict in the world? Humans do not need to work; they just need to enjoy dueling and then create everything through duels.
With this idea, my colleagues and I tried our best to store 'infinite' mass into one card."
Eh—
Tenjo Hikari suddenly froze.
Why does this seem different from what he knows?
Was the original story like this?
"Then, think carefully again, if matter can be stored infinitely into a card, and then time is stretched to infinity, storing endless matter into a card, and then reaching the end of time, what will happen?" The excitement on his face faded away, seemingly returning to that of a scientist.
"...Everything in the world 'fusion' together?"
At the Fusion Army Base watching this duel, Yuri's eyes suddenly brightened.
This, this, this is exactly what he was thinking!
Indeed, what the professor taught him was the real content!
"Exactly, at the end of time, in the very end, all things will converge into one. That is the existence I saw that day...
Dragon of Creation and Destruction.
[G·O·D]."
GOD!?
Tenjo Hikari jerked suddenly—
It seems like something from the comic version of ARC-V.
Tenjo Hikari was initially unable to react, and the reason was simple. Keeping up with watching all of the animated A5 was already torturous for him. To ask him to watch A5 and then go read the comics, it was indeed difficult for him, but he did know somewhat about the final boss of the comic version.
So that's what this is about?
He quickly understood and accepted this matter.
No wonder the Akaba Leo of this world is even more of a beast than the animated version, because of the combination of the two?
"To humans, to Spirits, to all life and even to those lifeless matters, becoming part of 'GOD' is the destined future to come. However, this future isn't fixed.
In the midst of this soul's swing, even Gods sway because of the soul swing of all things.
Where we ultimately head depends on the true 'Decider!'"
Akaba Leo looked at his Hand Card, his lips curled upwards, showing a ferocious grin: "My daughter, she has the qualification to become the new age 'Eve.' And as long as I acquire Eve and Adam, I would be the arbiter ruling all dimensions and all life!"
Serena heard this and sat down weakly.
The other two girls weren't doing much better, but they didn't grow up following Akaba Leo, so they quickly came back to their senses, hurriedly supporting Serena.
Serena was completely disheartened.
She always hoped to gain her father's approval, even if the Fusion Army launched an invasion war, she hoped deep down inside that her father might have even a shred of 'hidden feelings,' but it seems now, none at all.
In her father's heart, there was only his ambition!
Daughter? Child?
Only a tool for him to become a 'God'!
"...You're not human," Tenjo Hikari said with squinted eyes.
Tenjo Hikari's words fell on Akaba Leo's ears, but seemed to him like praise, and he swung his cloak, saying: "Hah, that's right, I will become the ruler of all things."
As he spoke, the machinery began to swing more violently behind him.
"Tenjo Hikari, you made a mistake, you misunderstood that protecting my daughters from harm could stop me, but—during this time, they provided me with an opportunity!
It turns out my daughters still lean on me.
Witness the soul's swing!"
He raised his hand, palms together in front, and behind him, that endless rainbow finally turned into a pendulum, beginning to swing madly.
Buzzing —
The machinery began incessantly sending errors and roaring, the power of Evil Spirits was charging him up.
"Spell Card, Polymerization!"
"Using the Hand Card's 'Pendulum Monster' Spirit Gem - Silpheed Core, and the Hand Card's Pendulum Monster 'Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Governor' for Polymerization!"
"Pendulum... Pendulum Monster?" A Fusion Army soldier beside him opened his mouth wide.
"Pendulum Monster, what is that!?" The Nobles directly stood up, mouths gaped wide.
Akaba Leo clasped his hands together, chanting loudly.
"Spirits residing in the mechanical devices' soldiers.
Receive new power, purify the sinful filth of my hand, become the foundation of world regeneration!
