But, if there is a Monster on the opponent's field that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, then I can directly use Fusion Materials from my Deck to perform Polymerization!
I send Shaddoll Beast and the Light Attribute Thunder Dragonhawk from my Deck to the Graveyard for Polymerization!"
"Be born, El Shaddoll Construct!"
A purple aura rose in the sky, and a towering Stature emerged within the radiance, bathing everything in the divine brilliance of a God.
El Shaddoll Construct, LV 8, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 2800→0.
However, before that divine light had shone for long, Construct's body shrank dramatically, finally becoming palm-sized, completely losing the Stature of the giant from myth.
0?
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the Construct beside him, a little shocked.
"Darkest Knight is on the field. The opponent's Monsters' ATK is reduced by the total ATK of its Fusion Materials." The Supreme King recited its effect in an icy, almost mechanical tone.
Which means 2100 and 2500—a total of 4600!?
Tenjo Hikari's expression changed slightly.
What a powerful effect!!
Yes.
In Tenjo Hikari's view, this effect was absurdly strong!
Although in a Duel, ATK is not the only deciding factor, sometimes, having higher ATK simply means having the lead!
For example, Destiny Hero - Plasma has the ability to directly negate all Monster Effects on the opponent's field, but it only has 1900 ATK itself, so going first and ending on Plasma, its suppression is only so-so—yet if there are enough "Hero" cards in the Graveyard, and you add on a "Destiny Hero - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer" that lowers the opponent's ATK by several hundred or even over a thousand, then Plasma's suppression jumps several tiers instantly!
A 4600-level suppression in this competitive environment is already ridiculously oppressive.
However—
Good.
Tenjo Hikari shook his head hard.
It just so happens he doesn't rely on battle destruction.
Construct can directly destroy Special Summoned Monsters; even Darkest Knight can't stop Construct.
"Then I'll resolve the following effects!"
"Shaddoll Beast that was sent to the Graveyard—its effect lets me draw one card; Construct's effect—when successfully Special Summoned, I send 1 'Shaddoll' card from my Deck to the Graveyard."
Compared to Instant Fusion, which at best trades one-for-one, Tenjo Hikari absolutely loves how much value Shaddoll Fusion generates.
But—
Just as he was thinking that, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the Neos Overlord on the opponent's field suddenly burst with a strange green light.
Tenjo Hikari froze for a moment.
"Then, at this moment, Neos Overlord's effect will also activate."
!!
The onlookers and Duelists all focused their attention.
After all, this was clearly the effect of a "ace"!
"When Neos Overlord is Special Summoned, or while it exists in the Monster Zone, when a Monster is sent to the opponent's Graveyard, it targets 1 face-up Monster on the opponent's field.
It gains control of that Monster!"
What?
Tenjo Hikari's eyes opened slightly wider.
It doesn't give it back!?
"The effect of Neos Overlord! I'll bring your Monster under my command!"
"Spirit Suppression!"
Neos Overlord stretched out its right hand, terrifying black lightning erupted from its palm and then struck down upon Construct. Construct had not the slightest ability to resist; its tiny body was directly dragged over to the Supreme King's field.
Not only that, once it left Tenjo Hikari's field, Construct's body quickly returned to its original size, only the Puppet Strings wrapped around it had been replaced by black lightning!
An effect that can be used just by being Special Summoned, and… it's also a Fusion Monster of "Neos." In other words, this Monster can actually be brought out directly with "Favorite Contact"?
Tierra frowned as she watched the Monster she created being controlled by another power, clearly displeased.
The massive Stature now stood directly in front of Tenjo Hikari, and Tenjo Hikari felt that the pressure on his body had become even more distinct.
No, it wasn't just pressure.
At this very moment, the figure of the Supreme King seemed to expand crazily before his eyes, larger than Monsters, larger than skyscrapers, larger than the world itself!
It was as if everything—everything in existence—was groveling at the feet of the Supreme King!
So this is the power of the Supreme King?
Tenjo Hikari felt the pressure, his body trembling, yet he was even more excited—
As expected, this is a completely different Fusion Power!
"Only the one who can win in the end is justice!" The Supreme King declared as usual.
