"Then as promised, these gems are yours," Golden Eyes Idol said, pointing to the pile of jewels.
"We'll split it evenly," Hikaru said to Jaden. "I don't know much about this stuff, so let's just divide it straight down the middle."
Jaden didn't think much of it as he wasn't short on money and agreed readily.
"We'll probably need To-san to help sell them," Hikaru scratched the back of his head.
First, sell a portion,then, buy this world's versions of Future Fusion and Overload Fusion. He'd had his eye on Zane's cards for a long ti.
After the duel ended, neither of the Golden Spirits disappeared. Captain Gold ca to Jaden's side, looking at the now-grown Jaden with pride, before pointing to a corner.
"Go crouch over there."
Avian obediently trotted over to squat, looking less like a hero and more like a street thug.
"This guy, without supervision, gets worse and worse," Captain Gold shook his head, while Jaden laughed awkwardly.
"Jaden, it's been a while. You've grown far braver and more excellent than I imagined," Captain Gold praised sincerely.
"Facing Shadow Gas without fear, not stubbornly clinging to pride, and entrusting victory to your companions, I'm proud of you!"
As the "Captain" of the HERO spirits, he deeply valued teamwork and once protected Jaden like a guardian. It was just a sha that, because of "that event," they had been exiled to another dinsion.
"Haha… honestly, I've been changing just recently," Jaden scratched his head. "It's all thanks to Hikaru. He's taught a lot these past six months!"
'Hikaru? That alchemist called Amagi Hikaru?' Captain Gold looked toward Hikaru.
Before coming, he'd already heard about Hikaru from Eldlich.
He thought for a mont, then suddenly, several cards dropped into Jaden's hand.
Elental HERO Captain Gold, Evil HERO Adusted Gold, Elental HERO The Shining, and Evil HERO Malicious Fiend.
"Jaden, entrust the power of Malicious Fiend to him," Captain Gold said. "I sense a familiar, terrifying strength from him. He should be able to handle it, and consider it thanks for supporting you. I'll be with you from now on!"
"Haha! Thanks, Captain!"
anwhile, Hikaru was more curious about why they ca to this world and what mission they carried.
After so explanation, he understood.
They were spirits from the "Golden Land", a dinsion ruled by Eldlich the Golden Lord.
Far ages ago, Eldlich had fallen into madness and begun uncontrollably invading other spirit dinsions, leading to devastating battles.
At that critical ti, a peerless Alchemist appeared, curing and even elevating Eldlich, filling the missing gaps in his being, turning him into the ultimate Golden Lord.
Afterward, Eldlich beca friends with that Alchemist and promised to offer help if needed.
Since then, Eldlich ceased his invasions, while silently amassing strength and gathering spirits, preparing for sothing.
And this ti, under the Alchemist's guidance, the Golden Spirits had co to this world.
"Wait," Hikaru raised his hand. "You an, that 'peerless Alchemist' built a dinsional path without a portal and brought you here?"
"Exactly."
"And this fragnted tropolis dinsion we're in now was also created by that Alchemist?"
"Correct."
"He even restored the missing parts of Eldlich's existence??"
"I've repeated it several tis now, humans' Alchemist!" Golden Eyes Idol insisted. "A legendary Alchemist who traveled countless dinsions, created the Philosopher's Stone by hand, and is revered across spirit worlds!"
'Holy…' Hikaru blinked, dumbfounded.
'That Professor Banner?'
'No—' He shook his head to stay rational, though hard.
Unlike Jaden, Hikaru had long known that in the original, Professor Banner was the true "leader of the Shadow Riders." He alone had defeated all the Duelists besides Jaden, waiting alone in his lab for Jaden's growth.
Compared to the other Shadow Riders, Banner was undisputedly strong.
Even among the current story's Shadow Riders, the original Banner would still reign supre.
No matter those fusion HERO duelists, vampires from other dinsions, or early Darkness avatars, none could likely defeat Banner.
He was a top-tier Alchemist who could forge the Philosopher's Stone!
And now, hearing Golden Eyes Idol, Hikaru realized sothing deeper:
In the original, Banner traveled the world seeking alchemical truth.
In this world, if he traveled many dinsions before death, what could he have turned into, A "peerless Alchemist"? The "legendary strongest Alchemist"?
"Hahaha, anyway," Golden Eyes Idol said, "your duel was marvelous, flawless teamwork, better cooperation than and that grump. Among alchemists, you're already excellent at harmonization!
Please let follow—"
"Really!?" Alkahest suddenly leapt forward, staring at him with shining eyes. "Really, really, really, for real, for real!?"
"Master, can I touch him?" Alkahest already held up a hamr, ready to knock so gold off.
"What the fuck!? Where did this lunatic co from!? Don't hit !"
"Uh. You'll have to ask him first," Hikaru said, watching the chaos.
Accepting new Fusion Monsters from Jaden, and feeling the richness of his gains, Hikaru finally shook off his shock, patting his cheeks and smiling brightly.
'Hahaha!'
He had it wrong!
Wasn't this the greatest blessing!?
If Professor Banner was even stronger than before, then learning alchemy from him would be even better!
