"Fusion Summon, LV 6, Gem-Knight Ruby!"
The crimson knight, wielding a war axe, appeared beside the young girl!
Gem-Knight Ruby, LV 6, Earth Attribute, Pyro-Type, ATK 2500→2000.
"Oh!!! Gem-Knight!"
"It's actually a Gem-Knight—"
"Seeing a Gem-Knight in the Other Dimension is indeed rare."
The Duelists from the Fusion Dimension felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this card.
After all, this is the renowned series card favored by "Tenjo Hikari"!
"Fusion Summon, isn't that the card that someone used frequently before?"
"The boy from the Fusion Dimension called Tenjo Hikari, that boy really loves Fusion Summon."
"Unexpectedly, there's a Duelist using Fusion Summon in the Pendulum Dimension, truly a vibrant world."
In this city, due to Tenjo Hikari's numerous competitions, duels, and rescues, the disdain towards the "ancient" summoning method of "Fusion Summon" gradually faded.
However, they were still quite skeptical.
After all, for a teammate of a Synchro Summoner to use Fusion Summon, it seemed rather odd.
"Fusion Summon is indeed one of the most convenient summoning methods. So, the previous question remains, Masumi Kotsu, do you know your enemy and understand yourself?"
"I..." Masumi Kotsu recalled the time when Yuzu was attacked and she couldn't help.
The cause of that day was because Ra had asked this question, and she had been troubled by it. If she had understood it back then, perhaps Yuzu wouldn't have been shocked by those events.
But—
Finding an answer at this moment is very difficult.
"I don't know, and I don't care. All I know is, in a duel, victory matters."
"Normal Summon, Gem-Knight Alexandrite, using its effect, release itself to Special Summon a Normal Monster Gem-Knight from the Deck!"
"Release it to Special Summon, Gem-Knight Crystal from the Deck!"
"Wow! Captain Crystal—"
"It's Crystal, hey, that little girl, she's pretty impressive."
Even though Crystal is just a simple, ordinary monster with ATK of 2450, for the Fusion Dimension audience, Crystal's existence holds special significance.
"Oh..." Tenjo Hikari stood by, surprised to see Crystal appear, staring at the opposite side.
It could sense the energy on the other side was almost identical to its own current state, yet couldn't recognize who it was in the Knight Order.
The creation by the goddess Sofia could perfectly replicate a card identical to how it was during the Knight Order period...
Tenjo Hikari heard its opinion and responded with two sounds, acknowledging its view.
Similar to Tierra, evidently Sofia might not understand the card game, but creating life for her is as simple as breathing. No wonder she can distribute so many cards in the Pendulum Dimension.
"Ruby's effect, once per turn, release another face-up Gem Monster on your field to activate. This card's ATK increases by the value of the released monster's ATK until the end of the turn! I'm releasing Crystal!"
Meanwhile, members of the Fusion Dimension watching the duel on the screen could see Crystal appear and knew what to do next.
"Nice, this way we can deal with materialism!"
"Indeed, Crystal is impressive still!"
The surrounding audience cheered, a bit puzzled.
What's this got to do with Crystal?
Masumi Kotsu's Crystal transformed into pristine crystals, embedding into Ruby, and then the giant axe in Ruby's hand began to swell dramatically.
Gem-Knight Ruby, ATK: 2000→4450.
"Attack Power 4450!"
"Wow, way higher than Red Dragon Archfiend! Even that Malefic Deck can't compare!"
"With this, it surpasses materialism! You can destroy materialism!"
"Wow... actually solved that super tricky materialism..."
Masumi Kotsu took a deep breath, pointing at the materialism in the sky: "Battle, Ruby attacks materialism!"
Gem-Knight Ruby swung the war axe, charging towards materialism.
The massive axe struck the central controller of materialism; the cracking sound echoed, and materialism burst with a thunderous roar!
Boom!!!
The towering machinery began to disintegrate, some fragments fell to the ground, causing palpable vibrations, one shard almost hit Ra, narrowly missing his head.
Ra, LP: 3200→1750.
Ruby, ATK: 4450→4950.
"How's that, now you can't do anything, right!?" Masumi Kotsu motivated herself.
Materialism isn't a Pendulum Monster, upon battle destruction must be sent to the Graveyard, unable to appear again, and without materialism, the opponent's Life Points can't support the Ultimate Offering strategy!
Victory is possible!
"Set two cards, end the turn."
The smoke gradually dissipated, Ra emerged from the ruins and thick smoke, his speed slowed due to the substantial damage.
It was because of this that Masumi Kotsu gradually caught up with him.
He looked at the auto-piloting Masumi Kotsu, the mask on his face slowly starting to crack.
The upper left corner of the mask began to fragment, thanks to that, Masumi Kotsu could see the eyes under the mask, the real colors of those eyes.
A large close-up appeared before everyone watching this duel.
What kind of eye is that?
Beneath the purple pupils, mystery and courage seemed to be brewing in the darkness, ready to explode at any moment.
Many spectators were mesmerized upon seeing these eyes, with some even lost for words on the spot.
Meanwhile, the Fusion Dimension, everyone cried out in shock!
He looked at Masumi Kotsu, directly facing her. Masumi Kotsu, the most obviously affected person.
She gazed into those eyes, as if her heart was touched by something.
"Brilliantly handled... Materialism is unaffected by Spell and Trap Cards, even immune to most Monster Effects, but ultimately, it's a monster. If no effects can handle it, destroy it directly by battle, very insightful."
Masumi Kotsu felt her heart pounding.
"But— I still ask the same question!
Do you truly understand yourselves!"
"!!!" Masumi Kotsu hesitated to speak at this moment.
"Then, my turn— Draw."
He glanced down, removed the mask, placed it on the D-wheel, revealing his true face, subsequently, more, louder, like a mountain roaring sea of exclamations erupted.
"Since you use Fusion...
Activate Continuous Spell Card, Scatter Fusion!"
