The Fusion Dragon mimicked the Earthbound Immortal by taking a deep breath, then unleashed a torrent. A giant feather from the Earthbound Immortal fell gently, shielding Crow from the attack.
Crow, LP: 1.
"Oh my God."
"Who would have thought we'd see this?"
A multitude of spectators gasped in awe.
"Who could imagine, in a single day, during one duel, seeing both sides reduced to 1 LP twice?"
"Amazing, without battling, without Synchro, purely relying on Fusion Materials and Fusion setting, they've created such a scene!"
"But at the end of the turn, won't Tenjo Hikari's Fusion Monsters be destroyed?"
Indeed—
"Turn ends. Processing Chain Materials effect."
As the effect of Chain Material triggered, the monsters on Tenjo Hikari's field vanished one after another, and exploded.
Just like radiant fireworks.
"The effect of Starving Venom Fusion Dragon. When this card is destroyed by Fusion Summon. Destroy all Special Summoned monsters on the opponent's field."
The Fusion Dragon howled, charging towards the giant god, but the god only slightly flapped its wings to dismiss the card devoid of Spirit and consciousness. Yet, this courage caught Viracocha's eye.
"Thus, we've returned to square one."
"Yes—"
Crow couldn't help but nod: "So, you want to leave the duel to our next draw?"
"A duel has no 'certainty', nor 'invincibility'. Even the strongest deck cannot always win, continue winning, and remain undefeated. For us, drawing cards represents both the unknown and possibility.
Just like the possibility Yusei sought.
Crow, do you trust 'possibility'?"
"…Ha, Tenjo, no wonder Yusei trusts you so much!
Then, you better be careful because with my Blackwing, even a single card can mean victory!"
He dashed forward, swiftly drawing a card and taking a glance.
Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North!
His eyes widened.
Yes, as long as he uses this card's effect, in combination with the effect of Tierra from the previous turn sent to the Graveyard by Deck, he can easily summon another Synchro Monster—
Though a few Blackwing Synchro Monsters in his Extra Deck were sent to the Graveyard, he still had monsters preserved and could continue the duel!
It'll work.
"Normal Summon, Tuner Monster, Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North!"
A standard 'Harem Bird' was summoned from his hand: "When this card is successfully summoned, activate the effect targeting a Blackwing Monster of LV 4 or below from your Graveyard for Special Summon in Defense Position. I choose Phantom Glimmer—"
"I see, well then… Sorry."
What?!
"Activate Set Card! Continuous Trap Card, Shaddoll Schism!"
The card retrieved by Shaddoll Core?!
Crow was astonished.
"This card can banish Fusion Material in the Graveyard to perform a Shaddoll Fusion Summon!"
Disaster!
Crow shouted.
"I banish Horned Saurus from the Graveyard and El Shaddoll Construct from the Graveyard!"
"Fusion Summon—the Messenger of Tierra!
El Shaddoll Winda!"
The green-haired puppet girl appeared once again on Crow's field.
That exquisite face spoke volumes about the duel.
"The effect of Shaddoll Schism, after performing a Fusion Summon, allows sending a monster with the same Attribute the Special Summoned monster possesses from the opponent's side to the Graveyard. I choose your Far North."
Thus, after the operation, Crow's field was left with only Phantom Glimmer.
Blackwing - Sudri the Phantom Glimmer, Dark Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, DEF 1400.
"The monster Fusion Summoned by Shaddoll Schism cannot attack directly."
"That's certainly good news, hahaha~" Crow laughed.
"End turn."
Though he could stall, drag out the duel, sketch more geo patterns, he now didn't want that.
Because he wanted to witness the so-called 'possibility' more.
"Don't forget, due to Winda's effect, you can only Special Summon a monster once."
"That I won't forget—draw." Tenjo Hikari drew a card, a blue flame reminiscent of Void Fire clung to the card.
Summoning Tierra seemed to cleanse his body, enhancing his Spirit Adaptability into greater 'precision'.
He gazed at the drawn card.
"Anyway, Crow, I still have to thank you."
"?"
"If not for you, Serena might have been whisked away by the Fusion Army, in which case I certainly wouldn't be calmly dueling with you now. I'd likely scurry around frantically like an ant on a hot pan."
Serena, watching the duel, felt on edge.
"Seeing someone bully a child, I can't stand idly. Even if it were someone else, they would act similarly." Crow briefly wiped his nose with his fingers, evidently slightly embarrassed.
Yet now, he's somewhat imagining others by his own standards.
"Anyway—In short, use this card to conclude the duel!"
"Use this card to express gratitude, use this card to make you believe in 'possibility'!"
"Spell Card, Fossil Fusion."
"This card allows for Fusion Summoning Fossil Monsters using monsters from both players' Graveyards."
"I fuse my Rock-Type Monster from the Graveyard, The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion, with your LV 6 Blackwing - Simoon the Poison Wind from the Graveyard!"
"Fusion Summon!"
"Fossil Machine Skull Wagon!"
Crow gradually slowed down his pace.
He sighed lightly, fanning himself with his hand.
Fossil Machine Skull Wagon, LV 6, Earth Attribute, Rock-Type, ATK 1700.
Though it has only 1700 ATK, he only has 1 LP remaining!
"Battle! Winda attacks Phantom Glimmer, Fossil Machine Skull Wagon directly attacks!"
The skull cart soared upward with Tenjo Hikari, charging forward, meanwhile Crow's Phantom Glimmer was lifted up by invisible puppet strings, watching helplessly as the skull cart drifted around the bend, crashing into Crow.
Bang—
Crow, LP: 1→0.
Victor: Tenjo Hikari!
