Even if Rishid uses this effect now, what difference does it make?
After all, there aren't enough sacrifices—
"Tenjo Hikari, using the God as Fusion Material was indeed beyond my expectations.
But the power of the God is not limited to this!
Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card - Soul Crossing!"
Tenjo Hikari gently rubbed his forehead.
Alright.
As expected—
There was no surprise for Tenjo Hikari at all.
Although only one "The Winged Dragon of Ra" was placed, apparently, The Winged Dragon of Ra, much like how darkness affected Senior Fubuki, directly changed Rishid's entire Deck.
"Soul Crossing is a Quick-Play Spell Card that can only be activated during your or your opponent's Main Phase. After activating this card, you can Tribute Summon one Divine Beast-Type monster—at that time, you can also use monsters on your opponent's field as Tribute!
If you use your opponent's monsters as Tribute, then after this card is activated until the end of the next turn, you can only activate effects of non-Divine Beast-Type Magic·Trap·Monster once per turn."
"So... so strong!"
"This is too strong, isn't it?"
"However—powerful cards always come with a price." Ishizu gently shook her head and said to the children, "Once you use this card, for Rishid, it completely changes all his habits and strategies."
Rishid is used to trap strategies, using this card will greatly weaken his power.
"I will offer my Gravekeeper's Recruiter on my field, and your two Fusion Monsters, as sacrifices to summon the God!"
The sun re-hangs in the sky!
Trishula roared wildly, trying to resist this power—however, even though [This card is unaffected by other card effects], it cannot defy the effect of this card!
"O Sun God! Burn to ashes the monster that dared to use you as material for Fusion!"
"Descend, The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
The Sun God returns for the third time!
The Winged Dragon of Ra, LV 10, Divine Attribute, Divine Beast-Type, ATK?
"The combined ATK of the three monsters is 6700 points, I will pay 300 Life Points—thus, the God's ATK is..."
"Se... seven thousand!?"
"Wow!!!"
"A great reversal!"
Rishid, LP: 400→100.
The Winged Dragon of Ra, ATK: 7000!
"Thus, if I attack, I win!"
"Yes... yes, Tenjo Hikari's field is empty!"
All the other members of the Gravekeeper Race looked at Tenjo Hikari who was facing the God, unable to stop worrying for him.
7000!
"Tenjo Hikari, why not activate Nephilim's effect?" On the other side, Tierra was still arguing with Tenjo Hikari, "Retrieve Shaddoll Fusion and fuse Nephilim again next turn, destroy it for me—"
"That's not possible, that can't be done."
"Eh?"
Tierra was a bit surprised.
"The effect of the Egyptian God... [This card's summon cannot be negated] and [When this card is successfully summoned, neither player can activate effects of other cards.]"
Ah—oh!
Tierra suddenly realized: "The effect is... blocked?"
Tenjo Hikari nodded.
"How about it, Tenjo Hikari, I admit you're an excellent Duelist, but you have already lost... the Gods are indeed powerful. Surrender, Tenjo."
"Surrender?" Tenjo Hikari shook his head with a smile, "Don't be ridiculous, how could I do something like that?"
"No no no, Tenjo Hikari, you should quickly admit defeat now, right?" Someone from the Gravekeeper Race tried to persuade Tenjo Hikari.
"If you're reduced to zero by the Divine Flame, even the most excellent Duelist will undoubtedly end up bedridden, Tenjo Hikari—" Ishizu couldn't help but glance at Yugi, but found that Yugi had no interest in intervening.
As long as Tenjo Hikari doesn't give up, he won't get involved.
"I've long wanted to experience the attack of the Gods, isn't this the right time?"
"...Then don't blame me, Tenjo Hikari!" Rishid pointed at his opponent, "Sun God, attack!"
The Winged Dragon of Ra opened its gigantic mouth, and a massive flame gathered in the air, then slowly rose into a giant fireball, akin to the sun in this Dreamland, beginning to heat everything up.
This duel was decided from the very start.
The so-called GX Champion would actually be defeated by the Gods in the first turn—apparently, duels outside are nothing but...
!!?
The flames fell from the sky, hitting Tenjo Hikari directly, but to his shock, Tenjo Hikari remained unmoved.
Numerous purple puppet strings enveloped Tenjo Hikari, shielding him from the Sun's fire.
A Spirit?
A powerful Spirit indeed—
But what does it matter, he still has to...
Tenjo Hikari, LP: 2600.
"What?"
"Why—"
"How can this be!"
In the Dreamland, people were as shocked as if a bomb had gone off.
"Hehehehehahaha—The reason is simple, because I used this." Tenjo Hikari picked up a card from beside him, showing it to everyone, "Arcana Force XIV - Temperance!"
"This card can be discarded from your hand to make the battle damage you receive once become 0!"
The flames burned fiercely beside Tenjo Hikari, but merely served like a light, making everything shimmer with magical light.
"Incidentally... this card was in my hand at the [first turn]."
!!!?
Tenjo Hikari sent the card in his hand to the Graveyard, chuckling softly.
He still had to thank Ed; if it weren't for him giving this card to Tenjo Hikari in the "Forgotten World" some time ago, this duel would have required other efforts.
The awakening of Saiou was also a recent piece of news Tenjo Hikari learned from Ed, Saiou wanted to thank him no matter what, but unfortunately, after losing the power of "Wave of Light," the forcibly created "Arcana Force EX - The Chaos Ruler" also vanished, and currently, like the Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, both are looking for ways to repair and complete themselves.
