"Lord Hikari, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"Lord Hikari, this is a special wine from our continent, the girls from the neighboring continent really like it, try it."
"Wow, Lord Hikari, can you perform that again? The one with the Chimerafflesia battling the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon—I can play the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
After the duel ended, there was no resentment or anger. The Predaplant tribe quickly became close with Tenjo Hikari, and the spirits that came along also manifested, chatting or sparring with them.
Being spirits of the fusion system, these Predaplant spirits naturally respected Tenjo Hikari, the famous "Absolute Fusion Master." Now that Tenjo Hikari revealed new possibilities in the duel, they definitely welcomed him.
Moreover, there was something even more important.
It was also an important reason why these Predaplant spirits were so friendly and chatted with Tenjo Hikari—the fact that Tenjo Hikari had indeed made a great name for himself using their cards in multiple dimensions. Many spirits had heard of the legend of the "Chimerafflesia vs. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon."
They weren't the kind of spirits with a good temperament. They often attacked and devoured dueling power, having provoked quite a number of enemies, making them rather difficult to get along with.
But Tenjo Hikari was different!
He truly was a human duelist who had done them a great favor.
That's why the spirits here called Tenjo Hikari a "distinguished guest."
This was a truly distinguished guest.
And now, what Tenjo Hikari showcased in the duel also delighted these spirits. Not to mention the Wandering Whale, ready to leave, there were many spirits present who began to consider evolving toward Pendulum Monsters.
Naturally, in this scenario, exchanging information and cards between Tenjo Hikari and the Predaplant tribe became quite easy.
Besides the Wandering Whale that was willing to go with Tenjo Hikari, the Predaplant Sarraceniant card, which Tenjo Hikari had always been fond of, finally appeared, along with other supportive Predaplant Cards given out freely to Tenjo Hikari.
The cards for Hornetream Phalanges and several other Predaplant cards, initially only one, were directly replenished to three cards each.
Moreover, the leader here, Suiye Vine Three-Pointed Prison Flower God, was even more straightforward, not only arranging for a Horned Dragon card to be given to Tenjo Hikari but also sharing its power by giving him a "Three-Pointed Prison Flower God."
Although the Three-Pointed Prison Flower God did not appear due to the duel ending too quickly, Tenjo Hikari was still very happy to receive this card.
Its fusion conditions were quite beautiful!
Three Dark Attribute Monsters on the field!
An excellent fusion result for Super Polymerization!
If the opponent had three Dark Attribute Monsters on the field, it could be directly used for Super Polymerization, making it quite a method for clearing the board.
"Lord Hikari, don't you mind sharing your secrets?"
After Tenjo Hikari gathered the cards, Three-Pointed Prison Flower God couldn't help but ask curiously.
Even though Tenjo Hikari had only a pair of frogs and mantises, as an Alchemist, Tenjo Hikari didn't hide his understanding of Pendulums and Alchemy, helping the Predaplant Spirits to speculate and deduce, assisting them in analyzing how to evolve the power of Pendulums.
Beyond this, Tenjo Hikari also generously shared the core ideas of the Predaplant Carnivorous Valley Wandering Whale.
As these magical lifeforms called spirits, once they had the "Original Scripture," evolving into new counterparts wasn't difficult. Even more critically, being plants, they were a vast group ruling a quarter of the planet.
With their race not truly facing extinction, concentrating resources to birth a few new counterparts was rather mundane.
After all, their territory was truly vast.
Therefore, they were curious—wasn't Tenjo Hikari afraid that sharing his knowledge and secrets would cause his advantage to vanish?
Upon hearing this, Tenjo Hikari shook his head and smiled.
He never concerned himself with the significance of Pendulum Summons or Pendulum Fusion because he understands clearly that one day, everyone will comprehend Pendulum, Pendulum Fusion, and even other techniques.
The important thing has never been the summoning methods but one's own capability.
"I'm a Duelist seeking Extreme Fusion... although not from the start, but now, I believe in Fusion. Fusion of self, fusion of others, fusion of all beings... does that mean finding common ground while reserving differences? Hahaha—"
Tenjo Hikari chuckled and shook his head, then continued: "Actually, to be more precise, one person alone cannot accomplish Fusion. To overcome challenge after challenge, to gain status, achievements, or reputation, requires the help of others. I really enjoy this feeling of being in this world, merging like-minded peoples."
This might be the point Tenjo Hikari likes most about Fusion.
Because he was not a human of this world, after coming to this world, aside from self-preservation, he needed some support. Although the source of his belief in Fusion was false, the results weren't. With the company and support of mentors, friends, and Tierra, he gradually acknowledged Fusion, accepted Fusion, and even willingly reached out. Not only because of the sadness of not returning to his previous world but also as an opportunity to re-love a whole new world.
The relationships within are very complex, not something that can be clarified in just a few words to Three-Pointed Prison Flower God.
