Tenjo Hikari was very happy to hear this question: "The reason is simple, Lord Great Divinity Official—Fusion Substitute is like the current state of this dimension! I want to... use Fusion Substitute to prove that fusion is not just pure unity!"
The Great Divinity Official expressed no opinion.
"Set two cards, end turn."
"A Fusion Monster and two Set Cards, as a warrior of this duel, it is indeed impressive. But... in this world, it's not that easy to pass through smoothly."
The Great Divinity Official spoke as he slowly reached out his hand, the purple imprint on his right hand becoming more pronounced.
"Master Priest..." The goddess not far away showed a touch of concern on her face.
The physical state of the Great Divinity Official seemed to be getting worse.
"My turn, draw." The Grand Priest drew a card from the deck, glanced at it, then flipped his hand, "Activate Spell Card, Nadir Servant, send 1 monster from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard. Then, choose an 'Dogmatika' monster or Fallen of Albaz with ATK equal to or lower than the sent monster from the deck or graveyard to add to your hand card. After this card is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck until the end of the turn.
I send Garura, Wings of Resonant Life from the Extra Deck to the Graveyard and add Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous to my hand from the deck."
Indeed, Dogmatika...
It wasn't beyond Tenjo Hikari's expectations.
The purple brilliance on the Grand Priest's right hand became more bizarre and evident, while a huge black rhombus twisted space lit up behind him, and a double-headed bird was directly sent to the graveyard.
"Wings of Shared Fate?" Tenjo Hikari was slightly surprised, "Is there such a card here too?"
"Generally speaking, spirits of a group can only use one type of card... but you should also know, in this dimension, anything is possible."
Tenjo Hikari received the response without dwelling on it, silently nodding.
"Effect of Wings of Shared Fate, activate when this card is sent to the graveyard. Draw one card."
"Next, if there is a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck on the opponent's field, this card can activate its effect. Special Summon from the hand card.
Special Summon, Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous."
The goddess patted her face, took a deep breath, raised the hammer in her hand, jumped onto the field, and happened to see Ah Bu Si beside Tenjo Hikari, gently waving her hand and greeting it.
Ah Bu Si somewhat embarrassedly rubbed the back of his head.
They were acquaintances.
Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous, LV 4, Light Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, DEF 1500.
"Ecclesia can activate when summoned or Special Summoned. Add one 'Dogmatika' card other than 'Dogmatika Ecclesia' from the deck to the hand card."
"Activate Horned Dragon's effect, once per turn, target one face-up monster on the opponent's field. Place a Prey Indicator on that monster. Monsters with Prey Indicators placed above LV 2 become LV 1. This effect can be activated during the opponent's turn."
"Becoming LV 1? What's the significance of that?"
"Horned Dragon's second effect, as long as this card exists in the Monster Zone, negate the effects of monsters with Prey Indicators activated by the opponent."
"This way... I see."
The Grand Priest expressed understanding.
"But... unfortunately, it won't be that easy!"
"Effect of Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted!"
Suddenly, its aura changed, and it flipped through the hand cards again: "During your or your opponent's Main Phase, if there is a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck on the field, activate this effect. Special Summon this card from the hand card. If there are other Dogmatika monsters on your field, choose 1 face-up monster on the field and negate its effect until the end of the turn.
Special Summon, Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted!"
Demon Eye took a deep breath, raised the long knife in his hand, leaped onto the field, and swung the long sword, pointing at Horned Dragon, several vines rising from the ground were instantly shattered by golden thunder.
Dogmatika Fleurdelis, the Knighted, LV 8, Light Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, Attack Power 2500.
"Sorry, Lord Hikari." Demon Eye slowly sheathed the knife, "Although I want to help you, I can't take shortcuts in the duel either..."
"It's okay, Lord Demon Eye... Rather, this is good." Tenjo Hikari smiled in return, "If there's no genuine, full-force fight, I think, even you would have a sense of regret in your heart."
Demon Eye couldn't help but exhale slowly.
Truly worthy of being Hikari.
However, since it has been Special Summoned, the strategy Lord Hikari prepared is completely foiled.
It looked at its sister and saw Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous lightly holding an iron hammer, calling out the card's name.
"Based on the effect of Dogmatika Ecclesia, the Virtuous, I will add Dogmatikamatrix to the hand card from the deck."
"Then... Continuous Spell Card, Dogmatikamatrix!"
The Great Divinity Official slowly activated the Continuous Spell Card, and as this card launched, the entire hall began to rumble and snap.
The altar behind the Great Divinity Official began to crack, revealing bloody arms inside, and the entire cathedral became dark.
Tenjo Hikari glanced left and right, watching the classic scene from the card's story, then looked at the spirits present, unable to help feeling emotional.
