In this world, endless forces are converging, both tangible and intangible, from the past, present, and future, of human realms or the Spirit Realm, silently casting their gaze into this "space."
"Tenjo Hikari..." A female "Stature" saw the figure of Tenjo Hikari, and as she gazed at the duel, an aura of fear and despair slowly radiated from her body. Watching the duel, the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a grotesque and sinister smile.
A blue single eye observed this dimension.
After the power of "darkness" isolated Duel Academy, almost all humans forgot the existence of Duel Academy Island. Only he would never, ever forget anything about humans, watching this scene with his cold, emotionless eyes.
In his vast laboratory, countless mechanical hands were also working together, trying to create a special card.
At the very center of the duel.
The Supreme King raised his left hand, the Duel Disk spinning crazily and roaring. He suddenly flicked his left hand, sparks flying, and his right hand touched the Deck, then swiftly drew a card.
He glanced down at it.
"Phoenixman's effect!"
At that moment, Tenjo Hikari opened his mouth and said, "Special Summon yourself!"
The fierce flames burning beside Tenjo Hikari roared again, transforming into a hero with a raised head!
Tenjo Hikari did not activate the effect of the Drawgunner, though Drawgunner was quite a handy card supplement method, but Special Summoning Drawgunner would also allow the opponent to draw a card.
Previously, Tenjo Hikari considered using Drawgunner in the duel because he indeed lacked card draw methods, but today's opponent was completely different.
He couldn't afford to give The Supreme King a free card at this time!
The Supreme King didn't react.
In the current situation, there's nothing he can do.
Although he very much wanted to use Form Change to transform the New Universe Overlord directly into other Fusion Monsters, unfortunately, the New Universe Overlord is LV 10, and there is no available Masked Hero to change into. The previous search for Form Change was meant to cooperate with other Fusion Monsters, but didn't expect that Hooked Squid could combo, dealing with all his Monsters.
However, even if he transformed into a Hero with higher ATK, because Tenjo Hikari's field had Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, his Monsters' ATK would decrease by 400 points. Midrash with 2200 ATK would need 2600 ATK to break through, which was quite troublesome—
And even so, even if he could summon a Monster with 2600 ATK, because of Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer's effect, Tenjo Hikari could destroy his own Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer to prevent his battle.
An unmanageable Midrash, a Monster that could at least drag it for a turn, he would not face it. At the worst scenario, at least take care of Midrash during the battle!
So...
He calmly entered the "Main Phase."
"Pot of Greed, draw two cards." He leisurely drew two cards from the Deck.
"Activate the Continuous Trap Card, Shaddoll Schism! And use its effect immediately." Unlike The Supreme King who [awaited silently], Tenjo Hikari decisively activated the effect during his operation moment, "Once per turn, during either player's Main Phase: You can banish Fusion Materials that are listed on a Fusion Monster from your field or Graveyard, then Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster. Afterwards, you can send 1 face-up monster with the same attribute as the Fusion Summoned monster to the Graveyard."
For The Supreme King, the unacceptable matter is to directly encounter Midrash's "Special Summoning Lock."
But for Tenjo Hikari, what is more unacceptable is the New Universe Overlord launching the second effect!
Tenjo Hikari couldn't guarantee what was in The Supreme King's hand, if there were cards that could send cards of Tenjo Hikari's Graveyard, then the New Universe Overlord could choose Phoenixman as a target, gaining control of Phoenixman.
Even if Tenjo Hikari chain activated Phoenixman's effect to avoid this point, it would still result in an unnecessary destruction — something Tenjo Hikari could not accept.
Seeing Tenjo Hikari activate a Trap, The Supreme King was not surprised and didn't care in the least.
When The Supreme King saw Tenjo Hikari recycle Shaddoll Schism from the Graveyard, he already thought about this.
Near the towering Overlord of Evil, countless Puppet Strings appeared out of thin air, entangling it, binding the New Universe Overlord, dragging it into the Abyss.
"Banish Aleister from my field and Shaddoll Squamata from the Graveyard, Fusion Summon, Speaker of God!
El Shaddoll Winda!"
Green hair fluttered in the wind, and the Puppet controlled by God appeared with laughter.
El Shaddoll Winda, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2200.
"Temporarily retreat, New Universe Overlord." The Supreme King revealed a purple light with his right hand, calling the Overlord, though New Universe Overlord was somewhat unwilling, in the end, it disappeared from the field.
The Supreme King nodded slightly, looking at the cards he drew.
Graceful Charity and... Heavy Storm?
What a pity, if the Wind drawn earlier was a Quick-Play Spell Card, it could have directly destroyed Shaddoll Schism, preventing Tenjo Hikari from fusing.
However, there was still a Set Card on Tenjo Hikari's field, although he knew Tenjo Hikari's cards were mostly fusion-related, if it were a card limiting Monster attacks, it would be quite troublesome for him as well.
Therefore, drawing Heavy Storm at this point was still a fairly good thing.
"Activate the Spell Card, Heavy Storm!"
