The key is that Heroes can fuse with monsters of any attribute to create a corresponding attribute monster, which caused Judai quite a bit of trouble.
But as their relationship gradually became less tense, he still found a way to ask the Supreme King not to use this card before a duel, and to duel sincerely using only Heroes.
Unexpectedly...
He still lost.
"It's a simple thing, we use the same deck, the same strategy, the same mindset, and even you and I have no essential difference, there's no so-called gap. But..."
"Not pure enough."
Not as pure as him.
Whether relying on instinct, wisdom, engaging in acts of heroism, or wanting to be a passionate person, no matter what it is, dueling is a pure affair.
If you want to go further on the path of dueling, you need to have some "perseverance" and be "resolute".
Just like your friend, the pure fusion like Tenjo Hikari.
"Stop searching your own heart. It's better for you." Finally, the Supreme King said.
Then, that day, he was expelled from the Spiritual World, and after that, when he tried to use the mirror Hikari gave him, it couldn't reflect the "Supreme King" at all.
Perhaps he was already tired of it.
Or... he has already said everything he needed to say.
After all, during the last duel, that "duel without Super Polymerization", the Supreme King rarely spoke so much.
Judai also thought for many days.
From the duel with the Supreme King, he gained many incredibly powerful Hero Cards that weren't available on the market at all.
But these cards were actually secondary.
He was somewhat unsure about which aspect of himself was not "pure" enough until today, during a tag duel with Hikari, when he recalled that duel in the Warrior Domain.
Unconsciously, he found dueling to be not as "fun" anymore.
Yet the reason he duels with others is precisely because he finds it fun.
Therefore, he was very happy today and not very focused, even though someone was observing him in secret, he didn't care much.
On the other side, Tierra took a bite of the pastry, and the person next to Tenjo Hikari watched in horror as the pastry slowly disappeared into thin air and couldn't help but rub their eyes.
Tenjo Hikari coughed twice and explained to the person, who only then understood.
So it was a "spirit"?
Regarding this human's offense, Tierra found it wasn't a big deal. She wasn't interested in passing humans nor did she get angry. Her attention was focused entirely on the items; each time after eating, she would give an evaluation, and if she found something very interesting, she'd keep it for a boring future attempt.
Even though it was a Manjome Group banquet, Tierra's critiques were quite sharp, with the majority of the food being merely "edible" in her eyes, and only a very small portion would receive her nod of approval, perhaps comparable to saying "barely as good as the instant cup noodles manufactured by Fengguang."
But compared to "the original Instant Fusion created by the Magical Scientist", that was impossible.
It seemed that the Instant Fusion replicated by Fengguang was indeed impressive.
At the main entrance of the banquet, a person slowly left the hall.
He was a man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, appearing to be a promising young man in society.
But...
Inside him had long been replaced by another presence.
Yubel!
This world, this era's strongest spirit.
"Damn, damn, damn, my Judai, my Judai— that Otherworld God is too close, too close!"
Although Tierra wasn't focused, she stayed by Tenjo Hikari's side all along, leaving her with no chance to approach Judai and the others.
Even though she tried hard to conceal her presence with power, if she dared to get a bit closer, she would definitely be discovered.
She wasn't fully resurrected, whereas that Otherworld God was almost a "living" life.
With mere Spirit Power, she certainly wouldn't be able to match Tierra now.
Previously, she had watched Judai and Tenjo Hikari's duel the entire time; after so many years, she finally saw Judai again. She wished to torment and eliminate the people around Judai to prove her love, only to see Judai perfectly cooperate with Tenjo Hikari to win the duel.
They even performed some "Intimate Contact", with "Shining Flare Wingman" and "Neos" fusing into some "Shining Neos Wingman"!?
Bastards!
Two bastards!
No, three, more?
In her fury, she couldn't even tell how many spirits were in this fused monster.
But it didn't matter!
Yubel ground her teeth.
Just now, she gazed over from afar again, but she didn't dare to get closer.
She took a deep breath.
As the strongest spirit, the wisest staff officer, and the most battle-hardened general, Yubel was cold, ruthless, and wise, knowing this was definitely not the time to act impulsively.
If that Otherworld God hadn't been distracted, she wouldn't have been able to watch Judai even at a distance, for she was sure that the Otherworld God definitely still "remembers" her, given that they had encountered at the Critical Point previously.
She took several deep breaths.
She must accelerate her resurrection process!
After coming out of the Critical Point, after absorbing the life of "Silva, Warlord of Dark World", she carefully hid herself, lodged inside a teacher's body at Duel Academy, and used her capabilities to secure a contract with the human who provided Duel Energy to revive her. Although it was during summer vacation, due to the Other Dimension development projects, she had already recovered quite a bit by now.
