A fierce wind, centered on The Supreme King, began to explode wildly.
The black shockwave swept everything, blowing away all the Spell and Trap cards on Tenjo Hikari's field.
"Alas—" Judai looked regretful, "The Set Cards were destroyed without even being used."
Tierra shared this thought.
"I see, you anticipated this, so you set that card."
?
The Supreme King was somewhat puzzled.
"Among the destroyed cards, besides Shaddoll Schism, there's this one—" Tenjo Hikari opened the Graveyard, smirking, "Waking the Dragon!"
"Oh. I see." The Supreme King nodded gently, "Always ready, are you?"
Oh!!
Judai realized.
Indeed, the "Detonator" ready beside Shaddoll Schism.
"That's how it is—the effect of Waking the Dragon, Special Summons a Monster from the Extra Deck!"
Tenjo Hikari opened the Deck, searched for a while, and smiled.
"It's time for you to appear—my beloved flower!
Special Summon!
Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"
Predaplant Chimerafflesia, LV 7, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, DEF 2000.
"Defense Position, huh?" The Supreme King glanced over, "So cautious."
Tenjo Hikari shrugged, not pretending to be strong.
The times aren't like they once were, even if Chimerafflesia can defeat Monsters with 4500 ATK, it might be reduced to 0, so Defense Position is safer than Attack Position.
As for Midrash, there was truly nothing to be done; Tenjo Hikari certainly wouldn't let it appear in Defense Position. Setting Little Winda in Defense would be a wasted summon; what can 800 DEF do?
However, due to his own Special Summon, Tenjo Hikari's Duel Disk was instantly bound by countless purple Puppet Strings, losing the right to Special Summon.
Of course, he wasn't planning to perform any other Summons this turn anyway.
Midrash's ATK now is approximately 2600, typically difficult to break through frontally.
After all, on his field, there's Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, at the very least with one blow's power, able to prevent The Supreme King's attack.
The Supreme King has only one chance to Special Summon this turn; he must deal with the combination of Phoenixman and Midrash within this Special Summon...
Tenjo Hikari looked at The Supreme King, anticipating his duel.
"Normal Summon, Elemental Hero Bubbleman."
Here it comes!
He's here!
The most confident Hero in the Cosmos, Bubbleman!
"When this card is successfully Summon·Special Summoned, if there are no other cards on your field, draw two cards from your Deck."
Tenjo Hikari was not surprised.
The Supreme King casually drew two cards, then activated Graceful Charity, drawing three cards, and discarded Form Change and another Monster in passing.
"What are you doing!" Originally, for Judai who acted as a bloodthirsty spectator, this wasn't a big deal, just a card draw, right?
But The Supreme King's actions didn't end there; those discarded erupted with terrible screams, seemingly in pain.
"Monsters that fail my expectations have no glory—disappear."
Boom!
The Monster exploded in a cry of pain, turning into The Supreme King's power and merging into his palm.
At this moment, The Supreme King truly took a careful look at the Hand Card.
After watching the drawn cards, The Supreme King slightly frowned, realizing he still couldn't easily deal with the field, then said, "In the Graveyard, Evil Assault's effect activates. Banish the card you haven't sent to the Graveyard this turn. Add 1 Dark Fusion from your Graveyard to your Hand Card."
In the Graveyard, a card was taken out by The Supreme King.
"Then, the effect of Dark Supremacy in the Graveyard, banish the card you haven't sent to the Graveyard this turn, and target up to 5 Hero Monsters in your Graveyard·Banished. Return those cards to the Deck."
"Malicestar Magician, Infernal Wildfire, Prison Crystal, Liquidman, and Neos Dominator!"
"Then, Dark Fusion."
He casually inserted this Polymerization into the Deck.
Boom!
The thunder surrounding this space grew even more intense.
Tierra's expression turned tense, "Tenjo Hikari, be careful, since he's daring to fuse, he must have a plan. Besides, if he has Neos in his Hand Card—"
"Mm!" Tenjo Hikari nodded silently.
Neos Dominator's effect is the Monster on the field and Neos now; The Supreme King recalled Neos Dominator, returning it to the Deck, and his field reappeared with Bubbleman. If Dark Fusion summons Neos Dominator now, direct control over a Monster on their field can be obtained!
In Tierra's view, this is absolutely unacceptable—
Their goal was to resolve Neos Dominator, yet failing to do so, losing control of a Monster instead, spells disaster. If The Supreme King chooses Midrash, with Phoenixman's "escort" gone, there's no guarantee The Supreme King won't use some strange card to send Midrash to the Graveyard, allowing him to fiercely fuse before the battle phase, which would be quite disadvantageous for Tenjo Hikari!
Thus, before that happens, they must destroy "Bubbleman"!
This is...
The Supreme King's "Conspiracy."
It's no wonder he is king and general; after being restricted by Tenjo Hikari, he immediately found a solution; Tenjo Hikari would never gamble against him, so...
"Activate Phoenixman's effect, destroying my Predaplant Chimerafflesia, destroy Bubbleman on your field."
Flames erupted, Bubbleman was consumed by fire and then disappeared from the field.
