"Attondel is LV 8, so I can send 8 different Infernoid Monsters to the Graveyard."
In Tenjo Hikari's Deck, eight cards began to burn with a bluish-grey flame, and one by one, these cards were sent to Tenjo Hikari's Graveyard.
"This..."
Some card names made Seraph feel uncomfortable.
Despite "playing with danger," given his background as a priest and cleric, hearing names like "Satan" still felt odd.
"Finally... Quick-Play Spell Card, The Ascent of Dark World!"
"Dark World?"
"Another unseen fusion!"
Manjome and his companion felt like they were seeing a completely new side of Tenjo Hikari today.
They had never realized before that Tenjo Hikari also harbored such a "dark" side.
But—
Perhaps just as Seraph said, even though using Archfiends, Tenjo Hikari wasn't "evil."
"This card can only be activated during the Main Phase of either player."
Tenjo Hikari's right eye gradually began to burn with blue flames, a feeling quite familiar to Seraph....
The feeling of Divine Favor!
Tenjo Hikari shared a similar "alignment" with him.
"The Fusion Conditions are Infernoid Onuncu, Infernoid Devyaty, and at least one Infernoid Monster. I banish from the Graveyard the Hex-Sealed Fusion - Dark, Infernoid Devyaty, Infernoid Decatron, Infernoid Seitsemas, Infernoid Sjette, Infernoid Piaty, Infernoid Patrulea, Infernoid Harmadik, Infernoid Antra, and Infernoid Pirmais... to perform the fusion!!"
"At this moment, it is the time of reincarnation!
Awaken!
My ally, my friend, my soul—
Goddess of Rebirth!"
His eyes were ignited with blue flames, an absolute purple storm began to rise within the atmosphere of the entire island.
"Fusion Summon!
Unveil the doors of the Sacred Tree, awaken!
LV 11, Infernoid Tierra!"
Ten Monsters centered around Tenjo Hikari, transforming into ten massive metallic points, igniting with blue flames. Then, the flames transformed into a gate, from which a shadow emerged.
Sun and moon, light and dark, positive and negative, the sky altered by Lucifer, the changed light and dark, were reset at this moment.
Seraph watched in shock at his surroundings, and when he recollected himself, the world had already been re-illuminated!
This!?
As he looked up, he saw a bull-headed creature, mouth poised open with one white and one black light wings—a serpentine lifeform... no, a serpentine [machine] sprawling across the island, visible to countless people at this very moment!
"What is that?"
"I think I heard Brother Hikari's voice?"
"Wow... such a terrifying Monster, it's frightening."
"Eh, I don't know why but that chest-tightening feeling... is gone."
Infernoid Tierra, LV 11, Fire Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 3400.
Meanwhile, the seasons and temperature on the entire island seemed to shift, and students who were in pain seemed to gradually recover under Tierra's influence.
"What exactly happened?" Many looked at the sky, the island, a world half-black and half-white, feeling as if they'd fallen into a dream.
And Professor Cobra, who had been preparing lessons, looked up at the horizon at this moment.
So it's like that...
Surely powerful!
"ATK 3400... is this the Outer God you summoned?" Seraph felt slight pressure. Yet in terms of ATK, Lucifer was still higher.
Manjome and Ed looked at Tierra in shock, as Manjome had seen a claw-scale of Tierra in a video before, but seeing this in person—a body even larger than mountains—even Manjome was left incredulous.
"Exactly." Tenjo Hikari glanced into the distance, toward Tierra's head, "Tierra is the Goddess of Rebirth, the God of Reincarnation, governing destruction and creation...
At this moment, her effect will activate!"
?
The effect of a God!
"Tierra will activate her effect based on the number of Fusion Material types!"
"Three types, both sides send three cards from their Extra Decks to the Graveyard."
Tenjo Hikari gestured a three, then opened his Extra Deck and sent three cards to his Graveyard.
Although Seraph didn't understand, he still opened his Extra Deck and sent his only remaining Fusion Monster, St. Joan, to the Graveyard.
"Five types, both sides send the top three cards of their Decks to the Graveyard."
Tenjo Hikari flared the top cards of his Deck, Fusion Substitute, Frightfur Fusion, Flame Swordsdance.
Seraph frowned, glanced at his Deck, and slowly sent the cards to the Graveyard.
The Sanctified Darklord, Banishment of the Darklords...
"Ha, Tenjo-san, this effect seems to help me more than you, does it?"
His dumping power surpassed Tenjo Hikari's.
Only, the third card...
Solemn Warning.
A card he had accidentally obtained a long time ago, seeing it now made him slightly absent-minded.
"Eight types, both sides may return three banished cards to the Graveyard."
This part didn't offer much for Seraph, while Tenjo Hikari returned several Infernoids to his Graveyard.
"And, finally, over ten types—
Tenjo Hikari clenched his fist, and the blue flames completely engulfed the entire Dueling Arena. At the declaration of this effect, Seraph suddenly felt a dizzying moment, as if he had "lost everything."
What is this!?
