With the destruction of Fallen Paradise, the rotten apples on the ground also gradually vanished, and the entire world began to shift from ruin to a prosperous glow.
However, behind this prosperous glow, there remained chaos and disorder.
In the previous round, Tenjo Hikari already had the card Dreamland, but his starting move didn't send any cards to the Graveyard, so there was no need to activate Dreamland.
Originally, the combination of Myutant Beast and Trap Card could negate a Spell Card once and then destroy a card on the field. It already provided good defense in this world. But what Tenjo Hikari didn't expect was Akaba Leo starting off with Dark Hole plus a Dark Contract with the Gate.
Tenjo Hikari slightly squinted his eyes. In his naked eyes, Akaba Leo was enveloped by an unknown number of strange forces, the whole person was crazily emitting dark smoke.
It's really exaggerated.
How much power has he endured?
Why, despite enduring so many darkness powers, is this "ordinary person" Akaba Leo still alive?
Keep in mind, whether it's the Three Phantasm or Numbers, they don't give away their power for free, especially the Three Phantasm, which absorbs the life of its holder. From Tenjo Hikari's previous encounters with the Three Phantasm, he understands that the Three Phantasm doesn't have any good feelings towards Akaba Leo. Even though controlled by Leo's technology, they would still siphon life from Leo.
Moreover, Akaba Leo should have taken a direct hit from a Number Monster earlier, it seems he was possessed by a strange existence from Xyz World. The flames on his body also told Tenjo Hikari—there's even the power of Red Nova within him.
Such diverse and evil forces mixed together, Akaba Leo is still so vibrant?
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the card he drew with his right hand.
"Discard a Thunder Dragon from your hand, then add two more Thunder Dragons from the Deck to your hand."
Tenjo Hikari raised a Thunder Dragon, showing it and placing it into the Graveyard: "Then, Spell Card, Shaddoll Fusion, use Shaddoll Hedgehog and Thunder Dragon from the hand to fuse."
"Fusion conditions are, Shaddoll Monster and Light Attribute Monster."
"Fusion Summon, LV 8, El Shaddoll Construct!"
Purple Puppet Strings converged from all sides, a giant that connects heaven and earth stands slowly behind Tenjo Hikari, silently observing everything.
El Shaddoll Construct, LV 8, Fairy-Type, Attack Power 2800.
"Dreamland effect, draw a card; Shaddoll Hedgehog effect, add a Shaddoll Beast from the Deck to your hand; El Shaddoll Construct effect, when this card is successfully Special Summoned, send 1 Shaddoll card from the Deck to the Graveyard, I send Shaddoll Dragon from the Deck to the Graveyard."
With a snap, Tenjo Hikari swung his left hand, purple lightning flashed, the latest Duel Disk began to automatically read data, a dragon shadow transformed into data beside Tenjo Hikari, flying into the grave, then the Deck shuffled, two cards automatically ejected, flying into Tenjo Hikari's hand.
"Shaddoll Dragon effect, when this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, target 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field to activate. Destroy that card." Tenjo Hikari pointed to Akaba Leo's Set Card.
"Then, open the Set Card, Trap Card, No Entry! No Entry!" Akaba Leo instantly opened the Set Card without hesitation, "All Attack Position monsters on the field change to Defense Position!"
El Shaddoll Construct, ATK→DEF: 2500.
Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, ATK→DEF: 4000.
Akaba Leo's face was stern, without hesitation, he said, "El Shaddoll Construct has the ability to destroy Special Summoned monsters directly without battling, but that ability requires a battle. As long as there's no battle, you can't solve this problem."
Moreover, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder has a whopping DEF of 4000, not just any monster can destroy it in battle.
"Heh..." Tenjo Hikari saw this and wasn't much surprised.
In fact, to some extent, this scene was almost as he imagined.
"Then, I Normal Summon, Keeper of Dragon Magic!"
Ziiii—
A streak of purple light suddenly flashed.
The observing nobles uttered puzzled voices of doubts.
Because this monster looked very similar to Tenjo Hikari!
Those soldiers of the Fusion Army who had seen this card several times and dreamed of this Fusion Monster gritted their teeth looking at this Pegasus-created "Alternate Card" modeled after Tenjo Hikari.
Keeper of Dragon Magic, LV 4, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack Power 1800.
"Keeper of Dragon Magic's effect, when this card is successfully Summoned·Special Summoned, discard 1 hand card, then add 1 Normal Spell Card with 'Fusion' from the Deck to your hand. I discard ST-46.
I add 'Fusion Substitute' from the Deck to my hand."
"Fusion Substitute?" A few Fusion Army soldiers were puzzled, "Why not grab Instant Fusion?"
"Yes, although Thousand-Eyes Restrict cannot attack when Special Summoned, it solves the problem of Hamon's 4000 DEF."
"It must be because Tenjo Hikari slipped up! He must be fearing the professor!"
The last person was evidently deceiving himself.
All those here are the true core of the Fusion Army, they all understand that the reason Tenjo Hikari chooses Fusion is simply that he wants to use Fusion, because he thinks Fusion fits the situation better!
"The turn Keeper of Dragon Magic's effect is activated, I cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck except Fusion Monsters—though that doesn't matter, Keeper of Dragon Magic's 2nd effect, reveal 1 Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck. Special Summon 1 Face-down Position Fusion Material Monster described by the card name from your Graveyard."
