"Finally, Dreamland's effect, draw 1 card."
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the card in his hand.
Beside him, Tierra was slightly puzzled: "Why choose Elemental Hero Prisma? There are many other Support Cards you can choose, right? Besides, you already have a Light Attribute Monster in your hand—"
"No way, I won't use this card unless it's absolutely necessary." Tenjo Hikari glanced at the card he had been holding in his left hand and shook his head.
"Spell Card Shaddoll Fusion—fuse the Shaddoll Falco on the field with the Elemental Hero Prisma in my hand!"
Tenjo Hikari played a brand new Fusion Card, saying: "The Fusion Conditions are a Shaddoll Monster and a Light Attribute Monster!"
Tenjo Hikari slightly clenched his fist and then said: "Your deity is a solar deity, but my allies have other powers."
?
"Behold, the Apostle of the Goddess of Rebirth!"
"Merge the Shaddoll with the Light!"
"Fusion Summon, LV 8.
El Shaddoll Construct!"
Thud—
A massive purple halo wove above Tenjo Hikari's head, with purple puppet strings spreading across the entire sky, replacing the position the Winged Dragon of Ra once occupied, transforming into a purple circular halo like an angel's halo.
Below it was a towering mechanical giant, gazing calmly at everything.
El Shaddoll Construct, LV 8, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 2800.
"When Nephilim is successfully Special Summoned, you can send a Shaddoll Monster from the Deck to the Graveyard. I'm sending Shaddoll Dragon from the Deck to the Graveyard. Then—new chain, the effect of Shaddoll Dragon. When sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, it can target one Spell or Trap Card on the field to activate. Destroy that card."
Tenjo Hikari pointed to Rishid's Set Card: "The card I want to destroy is your Set Card."
Rishid whispered in amazement.
A card slowly flipped over, revealing the Trap Card "Zoma the Spirit."
Wow... that was close.
Tenjo Hikari took a sharp breath.
Almost got killed by this thing.
"Then, have El Shaddoll Construct attack your Set Monster!"
Nephilim flew over, aiming at Rishid's Set Monster, which was flipped up, revealing a mass of dark blue "clay" that mimicked the form of a god, transforming into a giant draconic bird upon appearance.
"The Egyptian God Slime cannot be destroyed by battle—"
"It's okay! During the Damage Step when Nephilim battles a Special Summoned monster, it can activate." Tenjo Hikari squinted, scanning his opponent's field, "Skip the battle, directly destroy that monster!"
Ugh...
The Angel of God raised its right hand, countless puppet strings binding the slime, and with a snap, the theoretically indestructible slime turned into standard blocks, falling to the ground and dissipating.
"It's not over yet—Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment attacks directly!"
Trishula howled excitedly. It had been a while since its last appearance, and now using a peculiar deity as material, it was beyond thrilled to unleash its attack.
Its three heads spewed out countless icicles, bombarding Rishid, who staggered and nearly fell.
What a powerful spirit—
Rishid, LP: 3100→400.
"Brother Rishid!"
"Oh no, Brother Rishid only has 400 Life Points left!"
"It's like a candle in the wind now!"
What candle in the wind, which kid is debuffing me with that? Give me a break!
Tenjo Hikari glanced to the side.
However, regardless, his cards right now couldn't directly determine victory.
"End turn."
"What to do?"
"Yes. Right?"
"Brother Rishid is going to lose—"
Although the kids saw the scene of the Fusion God, they were still more attached to their foster brother Rishid. Seeing Rishid's LP reduced to a mere 400, they were very worried.
"My turn—" Rishid had not given up at all, nor was he nervous.
He finished drawing, glanced down: "Activate the Spell Card, Pot of Avarice."
He revealed the card in his hand.
"The two sides of the deity, the slime in the Graveyard, and the two monsters I sacrificed last turn, return them all to the Deck and shuffle, then I draw two cards from the Deck."
He drew two cards, looked at the cards drawn, and revealed another one.
"Normal Summon, Gravekeeper's Recruiter."
A bald-headed figure appeared on his field.
Gravekeeper's Recruiter, LV 3, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 1200.
"ATK is only 1200 ah—""What to do?"
The crowd exchanged glances, very tense.
"Then... I activate the effect of a card in my Graveyard."
"Graveyard?" The crowd of kids looked toward Rishid's Graveyard.
Was there something there?
"The card I hadn't used, Tenjo Hikari—if I'd used this card earlier, I might've won instantly!" Rishid waved forward, "But everything ends now, at this moment, as I wield the true power of the deity!
Activate the effect of Ancient Chant in the Graveyard. Banish this card from the Graveyard. After activation, if I successfully Summon a god this turn, it will awaken to its original ability—absorbing all the ATK and DEF of the sacrificed monsters!"
"Wow!""So powerful—""But, brother Rishid doesn't have any monsters on the field now!"
"With just one monster, there's no way to Tribute, no way to call a god, right?"
Indeed—
That's the real issue!
