But—
it's not over yet!
The Supreme King raised another card: "Finally, activate—Normal Spell Card, Dark Contact!"
?
Dark... Contact!?
While Judai was dazed, that excluded Neos had already appeared on the field.
But at this time, Neos's complexion was quite terrible, and terrifying scarlet light was emanating from his eyes.
"Dark Contact allows you to return monsters on your field, in the graveyard, or in the banished state to the deck as Fusion Material, to perform a [Dark] Fusion."
Countless thunderbolts came from all directions, madly striking on Neos.
On the ground, Toxic Bubble's body struggled for a moment, then let out a sharp scream, and immediately, amidst the wails, was torn into pure energy, merging into Neos.
"The Fusion Conditions are Neos and an Effect Monster on the field."
"Witness the absolute power that leads to my victory!"
"Ruler of Heroes, use the power of darkness to uphold justice."
"Appear now!"
"Dark Fusion!"
"Evil Hero Neos Lord!"
With his call, armor continuously appeared on Neos, that jet-black armor, enormous cape, heroic mask, all were showcased on it—
As if Neos was clad in the Supreme King's armor, wielding the power of the Supreme King!
Without a doubt!
It is the true symbol of [Supreme King]!
Tenjo Hikari felt, at this moment, the Neos he had always been familiar with, was like a butcher, coldly watching him, ready to kill him at any moment!
Evil Hero Neos Lord, LV 10, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, Attack Power 2500.
"Set a card, end turn."
The Supreme King expressionlessly placed a card facedown on the field, then ended his turn without saying anything else.
Intangible pressure spread throughout the building, and Tenjo Hikari could even feel sweat instinctively dripping from his forehead.
It wasn't fear.
But excitement under such strong pressure!
"Wait, at this moment, I activate the effect of Thunder Dragondark in my hand, discarding it to add another Thunder Dragondark from the deck to the hand."
Tenjo Hikari sent the Thunder Dragondark in his hand to the graveyard, then retrieved another one, smiling as he watched the demons seemingly closing in on him.
Such strong oppressiveness!
Completely different from all duelists encountered before!
"Amazing, how incredible—"
In the inner world, watching the Supreme King easily Special Summon three Fusion Monsters with little effort, Judai once again felt that powerful pressure surging towards him!
Even though the three monsters didn't have particularly high stats, just standing there, they seemed like an invincible army capable of destroying everything.
He showed excitement and anticipation on his face. He had dueled the Supreme King many times, but those "duels" were merely spiritual world exchanges. Even though he gained many powerful cards from the Supreme King, today, the Supreme King still showcased a brand new power!
Neos Lord, and those other two Fusion Monsters, what kind of effects will they have!?
He anticipated eagerly.
"My turn. Draw—" Tenjo Hikari felt the rise and fall of his chest as he drew a card from the deck.
He looked at the card in his hand.
Then looked at the opponent.
Three Fusion Monsters, all of which were Fusion Monsters he had never seen before, their effects unknown to him!
So, Tenjo Hikari couldn't be sure whether these monsters had any resistance ability or what their limiting abilities were.
There was one Set Card on the field, and in the graveyard, at least one "Fallen Archfiend Claw".
If a Hero on the field is destroyed, Fallen Archfiend Claw can be Special Summoned from the graveyard, and if there's Dark Fusion or a card mentioning it in the graveyard, it can even destroy a card.
Even though this effect can "only be used once per duel," it still shouldn't be underestimated.
Any destruction could potentially be the end.
So, let's probe with this first.
"Pay 1000 Life Points. Activate Normal Spell Card, Instant Fusion."
Tenjo Hikari played Tierra's favorite instant noodles, then grinned and said, "This card can directly Fusion Summon one LV 5 or lower Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck!"
Tenjo Hikari, LP: 4000→3000.
"Simple yet efficient Fusion." The Supreme King casually praised, "But it won't be that simple.
Activate Trap Card.
Dark Supremacy."
A Trap slowly unveiled, Neos Lord proceeded forward amidst flames and demons, as if he was the strongest ruler of all.
"Target a number of face-up cards on the opponent's field equal to the number of [Dark Fusion] in your graveyard or Spell Cards mentioning that card name. Negate their effects until the end of the turn."
Wow—
[Nullify].
In Yu-Gi-Oh, a common resistance method is to "wipe" a card's "effect", rendering it into an effectless card, this type of effect is "wipe".
However, that's fine.
This was just a probing card.
Rather than Instant Fusion being negated, it would be a real loss if the following card were negated.
"Activate Normal Spell Card, Shaddoll Fusion!"
Tenjo Hikari played a brand-new Fusion from his hand: "This card is a dedicated Fusion for Shaddoll Monsters, allowing Fusion from hand cards and monsters on the field with Shaddoll."
