Two years ago, Akaba Reiji, to prepare for a possible invasion by Akaba Leo against the Basic Dimension, asked Akaba Leo's friend, the world's best duelist and Entertainment Duelist Sakaki Yusho, to test the improved Dimension System and attempt to send Sakaki Yusho to the Other Dimension.
However, it's been exactly two years, and there's been no message from Sakaki Yusho, as if he disappeared from the world.
If it weren't for the life detection device on Sakaki Yusho still functioning, Akaba Reiji might have thought Sakaki Yusho was dead.
But it's been more than two years, and still no message from Sakaki Yusho, leaving Akaba Reiji unable to wait any longer.
Now, their dimension can no longer remain hidden; people from other dimensions have discovered them and are attempting to enter their dimension.
Currently, Akaba Reiji must make a brand new decision given the current situation.
The Dimension Gate System might have to be put on hold temporarily; at least, people from this dimension shouldn't be so passive, so he must change the ordinary people of his dimension at this time.
In reality, Sakaki Yusho hasn't disappeared, nor did he vanish.
Rather...
He came to the wrong place.
X Dimension.
Sakaki Yusho, using the time he had, finally managed to build another Dimension Gate with the collected materials.
The dimensional teleportation attempt from two years ago unexpectedly brought him to this dimension, the X Dimension. With no way to leave, he found a job as a teacher there to promote his philosophy.
A few months ago, Akaba Leo's troops suddenly attacked this dimension, and Sakaki Yusho saved a few children. Then, following the attack's route, he gathered the resources and Dimension Gates left behind by the retreating Fusion Army soldiers and finally rebuilt a functioning Dimension Gate.
This time, with the Fusion Army's interference, he finally found a way to leave this dimension.
He let out a long sigh.
Ultimately, it happened, Akaba Leo's invasion of other dimensions...
He installed the machine and placed a card inside.
Unlike Akaba Reiji, who didn't understand why Akaba Leo would invade, he actually knew some of Akaba Leo's secrets.
In his youth, he worked with Akaba Leo to develop a technology called "Physical Image," which allows holographic projections to have mass, enabling them to perform tasks humans find time-consuming and laborious.
For instance, easily doing construction work, easily altering terrain, and easily completing an entire industrial process.
This technology caught the eye of a certain force, and they were invited by that organization to explore the future and possibilities of "Physical Image."
They wanted to use the technology of Physical Image to bring happiness to the entire world.
Their plan was to use the technology to pour infinite "mass" into a card to create a "God's Card" with infinite "mass."
To succeed in the experiment, Akaba Leo even recommended his own daughter, Akaba Ray, who had exceptional talent, to be a test subject.
However—the plan ultimately failed.
The reason for the failure wasn't technical or related to the card itself, but because... there was a traitor among the researchers.
Sakaki Yusho, who was focused on researching Physical Image Technology and investigating Entertainment Dueling, never expected his friend and close friend to betray them at such a crucial time!
Akaba Leo!
At the crucial moment, Akaba Leo conspired to steal the "God's Card" that could change everything, intending to control and dominate the world, and maliciously harmed other partners—Akaba Ray was merely a facade, a trap he designed to monopolize the "Card of Infinity!"
The good news is that Akaba Leo's conspiracy was discovered by the leader at the time, so he did not succeed; instead, he was banished from this dimension by the immense power generated by the experiment.
However, the two volunteers who participated in the experiment, "Akaba Ray" and "Zarc," gained a special power known as the Adam Factor.
Later, why they split and went to different dimensions is something he doesn't know. He could only find a duplicate after that and took it in.
Buzz——
The familiar sound of teleportation echoed, and Sakaki Yusho landed, holding his staff, gently adjusting his hat.
It seemed like a city?
A duel was being broadcasted on the city's large screen.
Judging by the bystanders' voices, it seemed to be a duel tournament celebrating across the nation. After some inquiry, he found out more details.
Ah, the GX Tournament, a tournament to select the most talented genius from this dimension?
Oh!
This is indeed interesting; if it can make so many people happy, it must be an entertaining competition.
In the image, two duelists were clashing, with the left side using Trap Cards, Skill Drain combined with the Goblin series of monsters.
Sakaki Yusho glanced at it and felt it wasn't entertaining at all.
And the opponent... Amazoness?
It was clear from the girl using Amazoness that she was anxious and didn't care about her own safety, dueling with a desperate attitude, scaring her opponent.
This is really—
Indeed, it's another dimension; this won't do.
Sakaki Yusho thought to himself that he needed to investigate Akaba Leo's affairs in this dimension while also promoting his love for Entertainment Duels and spreading the joy of dueling here.
There should always be a balance between work and play.
"Battle, Amazoness Empress direct attack!"
Gloria, with all her might, pointed at her opponent and shouted angrily.
This Ansueeru guy's trap cards are strong and targeted, and if not for various powerful traps from Amazoness, she might have lost by now.
After the duel, she felt exhausted, the long period of ignoring her body's overtraining, along with the desperate dueling, left her mentally hazy.
But she showed no reaction, displaying a victorious smile, straightened her posture, and confidently waved her fist toward the preparation seat, then forced herself to leave the Dueling Arena.
Off the platform, Grace quickly supported her, calling out in concern.
"I'm fine, Grace, a duel of this level is nothing!"
Grace looked worried.
As a twin, she couldn't possibly not know how much pain her sister could endure.
Though Gloria's physical condition was superior to hers, it wasn't by much!
But as the younger sister, she knew that if her sister's persistence and determination couldn't follow through, she couldn't possibly let go. So, she had to forcibly hold her exhausted sister and run to their dorm to rest.
However, come night, in a daze, Grace reached out to hug aside but felt the softness was off. She abruptly opened her eyes only to find a giant pillow instead of her sister by her side, and she bolted upright in fear, quickly dressing up to rush out to find her sister.
She ran to the training ground and indeed saw the already exhausted Gloria still training late at night.
For the first time, she truly got angry with her sister—
Just as she was about to step forward, she instinctively covered her mouth with her hands, staring wide-eyed in surprise.
A young man in a blue Chief uniform appeared from under the moonlight, walking along the street, the breeze fluttering his coat, as if he walked out from the moon itself.
Gloria was stunned.
"Gloria."
Tenjo Hikari—
She was astounded.
"You really shouldn't compete anymore."
"Hah, what are you saying? Are you afraid of me?" Gloria wiped the sweat from her chin and braced herself, speaking to Tenjo Hikari.
"What are you doing—Gloria!" Tenjo Hikari's eyes widened, his right hand swung, purple current seemed to pass under the moon, "If you truly just want to duel me, you can find me anytime! Why risk everything in this duel!"
!!
As if struck by lightning, Gloria suddenly gasped and said nothing.
"No—if that's truly how you feel, let's do it now then."
Now!? The twins exclaimed simultaneously in their hearts.
"We've been friends for a while; you can always find me to duel. If you want it so much, right now, I can duel with you." Tenjo Hikari effortlessly picked up the Duel Disk, fitting it on his left hand.
Gloria lifted her head slightly, glanced at Tenjo Hikari, then lowered her head again. She couldn't figure out her own feelings; she just felt her heart pounding erratically watching Tenjo Hikari.
Blood boiling—
Her face showed excitement, "Alright—since I can see more exciting fusions sooner this way!"
"Duel!"
"Duel!"
Gloria, LP: 4000.
Tenjo Hikari, LP: 4000.
