However, there is one detail.
It's not "five types of sealed monsters," but rather "five of them."
Yu Gi Oh is a competition that pays great attention to verbal details.
It's not a "variety" trigger effect like Tierra, but as long as there's "five," it can trigger, which means Tenjo Hikari can actually use three left arms and two right arms to fuse into one "The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate"—
That's much simpler than gathering five parts together!!
In this world, assembling "five types" of Exodia in order is an exceptionally difficult task, and for a long time, only Muto Sugoroku has successfully completed it.
To let Tenjo Hikari collect a full set of the Dark Great Mage, he wouldn't have that confidence, but collecting five cards is extremely easy, the difficulty is not at the same level.
After Amon heard the Lion Witch's words, he nodded slightly, looked at Aiko, and then began to lament.
He was really on the verge of making an irreparable wrong choice.
Perhaps, indeed, neither Ed nor Tenjo Hikari could give him a true answer, they have no way to immediately solve all the dilemmas now.
However, at least Ed proved one thing, that is, even the power of the Dark Great Mage is far from "invincible."
Moreover—
If it's possible to obtain the power of the Dark Great Mage without sacrifice, then his actions from the beginning were wrong.
Ed didn't say much more, nor did he blame anything, during the duel, he had said enough, with his personality, he wouldn't say more anyway.
Rather than that, Ed was actually more relieved that at least this way, he prevented a tragedy from occurring.
As for Tenjo Hikari, he was even more satisfied.
Not only did he freeload a summoning ground for "The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate," but he also completely activated "Destiny Hero - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer," definitely happy about "upgrading while lying down."
Nothing else to say, with the Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, the strength of Tenjo Hikari's deck surged once again.
Indeed.
Skyrocketed!
Even though there wasn't another card "Predaplant Verte Anaconda" to change the fusion, Tenjo Hikari also had many other choices, to say nothing else, he could fit three copies of "Fusion Destiny" in his deck, with a draw rate much higher than in his pre-crossover world.
But, these are matters to consider during duels.
Now, Tenjo Hikari still had many other things to consider and ask.
First, he needed to confirm the situation outside.
Aiko herself wasn't on Duel Academy Island, but was at Amon's family company dealing with business affairs, she only came to this world at each witching hour, hoping to run into Amon here.
So, she didn't actually come here to find Amon, but to help Amon walk the "path of the king."
Although now, Amon, in his duel with Ed, gave up on sacrificing Aiko to gain power, Aiko herself still wants to help Amon, to make him a benevolent king, a king who does not need to be suppressed.
However, Tenjo Hikari and Ed didn't care about why she came, they were more concerned about the situation outside.
"World of the Forgotten," is a quite special world, some forgotten, abandoned cards, neglected year after year, under resentment, might enter this dimension.
And not just the world Tenjo Hikari and others were in, indeed, besides this world, in all other worlds, whether it's the Spirit World or the Human World, as long as the cards are forgotten, they might appear in this dimension.
In other words, this dimension is actually "directly connected" to all dimensions.
Unfortunately, this dimension can't "travel to" specific dimensions, only "return to where you came from," otherwise, Tenjo Hikari would think of ways to use this as a transit point, to seek external support and pull for help.
But, even if there's no way to do that, they still have other choices.
First is the intelligence provided by Aiko here—the situation outside.
During the duel, Tenjo Hikari and the others already knew that, outside the Duel Academy, people there thought that the Duel Academy was fine, nothing peculiar.
The three of them almost all thought of that possibility: the humans of the outside world were actually influenced by the power of darkness, they somewhat ignored the Duel Academy.
And here at Duel Academy, should be the place where, as far as humans currently know, "Spirit Power" is most abundant.
After all, not just the main body of Duel Academy, the chiefs of the branches of Global Duel Academy, and those most excellent professors from all over the world, are all gathered at Duel Academy now.
Now they are isolated, as long as they are slowly eroded, they might defeat the "future" of these humans.
Tenjo Hikari knows a lot more than the other two classmates, he clearly knows the existence of darkness, so he actually can better understand darkness's actions.
In the original work, as long as you own a Spirit, then you can more or less resist darkness's power.
Although——it's obvious, the darkness of this world is far stronger than in the original work, hence he can accomplish more than in the original work, for example, now even those who own Spirits have no way to strongly resist the effect.
Originally, Tenjo Hikari speculated darkness would seal off the Duel Academy, thinking it was because teaching students at Duel Academy to use Spirit Power might change the future darkness wanted to reach, therefore targeting it for a precise strike.
Upon looking at it now, chances are that it's true.
Because it wasn't targeting the outside, but intending to first suffocate the people within the Duel Academy.
Using methods to send all Duel Academy students out, or calling external forces to save the Duel Academy, indeed seemed impossible.
Darkness evidently made abundant preparations, even intervening before Yubel made a move, it indeed appears human efforts are needed to directly face darkness.
Thankfully——
He is not waiting for human self-destruction but starting to intervene himself, this also means he will gradually manifest in the future.
Compared to an intangible and elusive enemy, knowing the enemy will manifest is somewhat good news.
Nonetheless, Amon still made efforts to attempt something; he wrote some things as much as possible for Aiko to take along, hoping that after returning to the Human World, Aiko would remember everything that happened in this Mementomictlan, and then find a way to aid Duel Academy.
Although Ed holds no hope for this, as long as there was effort, there's no reason to refute it.
Soon, the three returned to Duel Academy.
Feeling the heavy pressure within Duel Academy, and the bursts of stabbing pain attacking his head, Tenjo Hikari shook his head.
He took time to check the condition of the infirmary, Amon was fervently helping the teachers there, seemingly reigniting his fighting spirit.
Tenjo Hikari raised his eyebrows slightly, turned back into a classroom, and opened his deck to check.
Destiny Hero - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer——
A powerful enough, virtually "undying" monster, after the duel with the Light of Destruction, because it was forcibly matured, it has always been in a shattered state, divided between his and Ed's hands.
Now, with Ed's efforts, the Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer has finally fully emerged, the card in his hand also glowed brightly in response.
As a "terminal," this card is already powerful enough.
If that's the case…
Tenjo Hikari then looked at some other small combinations.
He looked at the Thunder Source Dragon, a smile appeared.
It had been a long time since it saw battle, now was the perfect time to use it.
He shuffled his deck slightly, prepared a new set, then took a deep breath.
He spent some time in the afternoon studying the "Apocalypse Record," planning to go to the school's volcano later on.
To be exact, to the volcanic crater.
Last time, it was there that Tenjo Hikari had dueled with Tenjouin Fubuki possessed by darkness.
And in the Apocalypse Record, it's clearly stated this site is extremely suitable for high level Spirits to survive.
Tenjo Hikari calculated for quite a while and figured among locations that people normally wouldn't explore or patrol, this place is most likely where Tenjouin Fubuki and Tenjouin Asuka are imprisoned.
In the evening, he also had to help Judai try summoning another self from his heart, so planned to explore first.
Dusk was about to set in, Tenjo Hikari prepared his things, greeted Judai in advance, then quietly headed to the volcano.
But just as he was about to ascend the mountain, suddenly, a mass of black slime rose from the ground in front of him, followed by transformations of this slime, finally forming a strange man wearing sunglasses——
Mr. T!
Tenjo Hikari was both surprised and delighted——
His intuition was correct!
