"It's my turn."
Tenjo Hikari drew a card and saw the Antique Gear Fusion.
The appearance of this card was within his preparations.
The first turn Demon God, second turn Ultimate Giant, was his usual strategy when playing with an Ancient Gear Deck.
But now it definitely wouldn't work.
He looked at the cards in his hand.
"Activate the effect of Metalfoes Fusion in the graveyard."
"Oh?"
"Return Metalfoes Fusion to the deck, shuffle the deck, and then draw a card."
So it was a draw card.
Tenjo Hikari glanced again at the cards in his hand.
Hmm...
"Activate the Spell Card, Antique Gear Fusion!" He looked at the field and said, "This card can use the Ancient Gear Golem on the field and cards from the deck for a fusion to Fusion Summon an Antique Gear Fusion Monster.
I will fuse the Ancient Gear Golem on the field with Ancient Gear Beast and Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Chimera from the deck to Fusion Summon, LV 10, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem!"
Countless mechanical parts gathered from afar, and the ancient robot began to frantically install equipment piece by piece until it transformed into a brand new form.
Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, LV 10, Earth Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 4400, Defense Power 3400.
Ultimate Giant, ATK: 4400→1000.
"Hiss... The Ultimate Giant with over four thousand attack power suddenly has only a little over 1000 attack power."
"That big truck is amazing."
When the big truck appeared earlier, the audience thought, 'Isn't 2100 attack power quite low?'
Now it seems that this 2100 is actually very high!
If it were any higher, normal monsters couldn't possibly break it!
However, Tenjo Hikari also has a means to battle and destroy it normally.
But instead of destroying it, Tenjo Hikari personally prefers to deal with it by other means.
Because when a Fossil Fusion Monster on the field is destroyed by battle or effect, Fossil Fusion in the graveyard can return to the hand.
Even though he's not sure if Jim still has Fossil Fusion in his graveyard, if possible, he would certainly prefer to deal with it rather than destroy it.
Since that's the case, let's take a look first.
"Normal Summon, Golden-Eyes Idol."
The Golden-Eyes Idol crossed its arms, holding a cup, slowly making its entrance.
It had long since struck a pose, waiting for Tenjo Hikari to summon it.
Since it was summoned once after returning from the Magic Academy, it has been hoping for another appearance. Sure enough, this time in Lord Hikari's hand, Lord Hikari indeed used it.
Its long wait for posing wasn't in vain.
Golden-Eyes Idol, LV 1, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 0.
"Wow, it's Golden-Eyes Idol."
"Could it be to summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict?"
"That's so cool, that's the legendary ace card of Mr. Pegasus!"
Tenjo Hikari was indeed planning that.
But before that, he had to see what Jim had in his hand.
"Activate the effect of Golden-Eyes Idol, once per turn, to view the opponent's hand. Until the end of the turn, this card's name is treated as Thousand-Eyes Idol."
Jim had already guessed what Tenjo Hikari was planning, but he didn't mind, revealing the two cards in his hand. Simultaneously, the huge holographic image in the dueling arena displayed the two cards for all the audience to see.
"Fossil Fusion and Burial from a Different Dimension?" Tenjo Hikari glanced, slightly frowning.
It really is Fossil Fusion.
However—
Even so, Tenjo Hikari didn't want to let Jim get back a Fossil Fusion for nothing.
"Activate the Spell Card, Polymerization!" Tenjo Hikari gently revealed the card in his hand, "Fusion Summon the LV 1 Fusion Monster, Thousand-Eyes Restrict, using the LV 1 Thousand-Eyes Idol on the field and Relinquished in hand!
The Evil God slowly turned black, its body started to tear, gradually becoming twisted, transforming into the dark Evil God.
Thousand-Eyes Restrict, LV 1, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 0.
"Oh, oh, oh!! Perfect!" Ansueeru excitedly cheered in the Resurrection Race team, "It's the president's card!"
Although Tenjo Hikari really wanted to win with the professor's card, this big truck was indeed a bit unfriendly to Ancient Gear Monsters.
But it should be fine.
At least let the professor's card participate.
"Activate Golden-Eyes Idol's effect! When this card is banished or sent to the graveyard by effect, target one Effect Monster on the opponent's field, it becomes an Equip Card equipping to 1 Ritual Monster on the field that cannot be Normal Summoned, the equipped monster's ATK increases by that attack value. Devour the Fossil Machine Skull Convoy and use it as an Equip Card to increase its attack power!"
Thousand-Eyes Restrict aimed at the Skeleton-shaped Otherworld Transcender, with its eyes emitting a purple glow. The dinosaur head of the big truck was captivated by the purple light and wobbled towards it. While this way, it can't avoid battle destruction, it can consider using Thousand-Eyes Restrict's effect next turn to devour another monster again.
Thousand-Eyes Restrict, ATK: 0→2100.
"Battle, attack directly with Thousand-Eyes Restrict!"
"Oh, wait—At this time, I activate the Trap Card, Threatening Roar!" Jim lightly tipped his hat, casually saying, "This turn, the opponent can't declare an attack."
Roar———
A phantom lion appeared on the field, let out a roar, ending the battle.
"I see, it's a card that even Ancient Gear series monsters can't prevent." Tenjo Hikari nodded.
He thought it was Sakuretsu Armor!
In the original work, Jim really used Sakuretsu Armor, he even thought that even if Jim set Sakuretsu Armor, he probably wouldn't dare to use it, after all, if it was used, and Thousand-Eyes Idol was destroyed, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem could win.
