"What a terrifying combination."
Gold medal commentator Mitsuzawa explained.
"Future Fusion accumulates a massive amount of reptiles in the graveyard, allowing the monster summoned from the card deck to have zero attack power initially, but can gain a boost through the graveyard reptiles.
This way, Yugen can easily and continuously summon monsters with over ten thousand attack power onto the field."
"Constantly summoning huge monsters with over ten thousand attack power..."
Marufuji Shou gasped.
This kind of thing is unheard of.
"By the way, the Poisonous Snake King Vinomirion can also gain attack power boost from reptiles in the graveyard, but unlike Victory, the Snake King doesn't just gain power from Alien Insects."
Yugen chuckled.
"The effect of the Poisonous Snake King is that the attack power of this card increases by 500 points for each reptile in the graveyard, regardless of type.
Now, my graveyard has 25 Alien Insects sent by Future Fusion. Plus, there are Alien Insect Victory, making a total of 26 cards!"
In fact, last turn there were Sub-Akang Alien Insects knocked down by the Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant, but the Sub-Akang Alien Insects had previously resurrected themselves onto the field using their own effect. The side effect is that when Sub-Akang Alien Insects leave the field after resurrecting themselves, they must be removed from the game, so the Sub-Akang Alien Insects are now removed from play.
However, 26 reptiles are already quite terrifying.
"Therefore, now the attack power of the Poisonous Snake King Vinomirion becomes..."
[Poisonous Snake King Vinomirion, Attack Power 13000]
"Thirteen thousand!?"
Chronos's face of desire turned into a bitter melon face.
"Mamma mia!"
His pride, the Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant, feels like a little brother facing this Snake King!
"How about it, teachers, shall the attack continue?" Yugen smiled.
Instructor Napoleon felt a bit bitter, but gritted his teeth.
"Continue... continue attacking!"
Instructor Napoleon pointed to another monster on Yugen's field.
"Toy Emperor, attack the 'Zex Alien Insect'!"
[Toy Emperor, Attack Power 2300]
[Zex Alien Insect, Attack Power 1800]
Toy Emperor galloped forward, the long sword flashed a silver light, piercing through the remaining body of the Zex Alien Insect with one slash.
[Yugen, LP1700 → LP1200]
"The effect of the Toy Emperor also activates at this moment!" Napoleon declared, "When this card destroys an opponent's monster, it can add any Trap Card from the card deck to the hand!"
Yugen raised an eyebrow.
No type, no type restriction, any trap search...
Goodness, indeed an original divine card from the animation. No wonder people say Instructor Napoleon has the ability to rival Chronos, now he believes it...
Chronos gave Napoleon a meaningful glance.
This trap search is their last chance. In the next turn, the ten thousand attack Snake King will launch an attack, and at least one of them will be finished.
Napoleon also returned the glance.
Don't worry, I know, it's very steady.
Just like knowing each other's roots, having been adversaries for so long, the two have a thorough understanding of each other's thoughts, able to guess their intentions just by exchanging glances.

"I search this Trap Card from the deck,"
Napoleon revealed a Trap Card.
"Divine Protective Shield - Reflective Mirror Force!"
Chronos gave a thumbs up.
Very good, with the protection of the strongest shield known as Reflective Mirror Power, even the ten thousand attack Snake King might not find it easy to break through.
"Then, set a card in the backfield, ending the turn, Aru." Napoleon said.
A card set in the backfield, basically an open secret. Everyone knows it's Reflective Mirror Power.
Mitsuzawa folded his arms: "Worthy of the instructor, even in such a desperate situation, they found a means of defense. Although Yugen has absolute advantage on the field, facing Reflective Mirror Power they can't just attack out of nowhere...."
"My turn, draw."
Yugen rubbed his forehead, putting on a troubled expression.
"Reflective Mirror Power, with the strongest shield in defense, it certainly is troublesome."
Instructor Napoleon showed a trace of pride.
But this pride barely had time to last a few seconds before Yugen's next words shattered it.
Yugen smiled: "However, teachers, you must remember? Since the activation of Future Fusion until now, my second preparation phase has finally arrived."
The two professors: "!"
Indeed, because in the chaos mode Yugen's turns are fewer than usual, it was only now reaching Yugen's second preparation phase, which they almost forgot.
This means that the moment of the arrival of the terrifying existence of twenty-five-stage Fusion Summoning has come...
"The zero point and endpoint of everything, the ultimate Alien Insect—
—Alien Insect Zero, Fusion Summon!"
As Yugen raised his hand, the Future Fusion card emitted a dazzling golden glow. A beam of golden light shot skyward, accompanied by clouds gathering in the sky, squeezed by an invisible hand into that terrifying, oppressive giant.
The final Alien Insect, Alien Insect Zero!
[Alien Insect Zero, Attack Power?]
"The attack power of Alien Insect Zero is determined by the types of monsters used as Fusion Material during summon." Yugen said, "Its attack power becomes the number of monster types times 500 points."
The expressions of the two professors grew even more grim.
Alien Insect Zero used twenty-five materials for fusion, so its attack power would be...
[Alien Insect Zero, Attack Power? → Attack Power 12000]
Again, an attack power of twelve thousand!
It's overwhelming, utterly overwhelming.
For a normal duelist, four thousand attack power is already a monster at Obelisk Level, rarely seen in standard duels. Five thousand attack power is even at the Five Emperors Dragon Level, considered the ceiling of attack power.
Yet in this duel, how many monsters with ten thousand attack power has Yugen casually drawn?
It's as if others use their ultimate power only once in a lifetime, enough to boast for eternity, while he casually treats it as a basic attack. It seems like to him, monsters with ten thousand attack power are just Four-Star minions, casually swatted by the handful.
"Additionally, Alien Insect Zero can gain different effects based on the types of fusion materials." Yugen calmly said, "When Alien Insect Zero is Fusion Summoned using more than four types of monsters, by removing one Reptile Race from the graveyard from play, you can choose a monster on the field to send to the graveyard."
Yugen casually drew out two Alien Insects from the graveyard.
"Remove two Reptile Races from the graveyard from play to send your 'Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant' and 'Toy Emperor' to the graveyard."
The ace monsters of Chronos and Napoleon stood no chance before the invincible Alien Insect Zero. Facing the immense disparity in power, the Toy Emperor and Ultimate Giant were both dragged into the quagmire of destruction, disappearing without a trace.
The expressions of the two professors turned deathly pale.
Now their last hope is entirely pinned on the 'Reflection Mirror Power' in Napoleon's backfield. With two colossal ten thousand attack monsters staring them down, the duo felt like ants facing giants. Without the threat of this Reflection Mirror Power, the opponents could easily crush them into dust.
But this last glimmer of hope wouldn't hold for much longer.
"Alien Insect Zero, when using more than two types of materials, has the effect of special summoning one face-down defense position Reptile Race from the graveyard once per turn."
Yugen displayed an Alien Insect card from the graveyard again.
"Set Apocalypse Alien Insect in face-down defense position."
Then he pressed the cover card button on the Duel Disc.
"Next, activate the backfield cover card, Magic Card 'Book of the Sun.' Change the face-down monster on the field to attack position.
Turn 'Apocalypse Alien Insect' to face-up attack position."
[Apocalypse Alien Insect, Attack Power 300]
"Apocalypse Alien Insect's flip effect destroys one Magic or Trap Card on the field."
The two instructors felt a shiver, sinking to despair.
Yugen flicked his finger.
"Destroy 'Divine Protective Shield - Reflective Mirror Force.'"
It was almost like the sentence of death; their last line of defense, their last protective talisman, was wiped out.
"Of course, with the reduction of reptiles in the graveyard, the attack power of Poisonous Snake King decreases... but it doesn't matter, it's enough."
Yugen said.
However, the two professors were no longer listening to what he was saying now.
The two exchanged glances, and this time they saw only shared despair in each other's eyes.
Chronos: "Instructor Napoleon..."
Napoleon: "Chronos, temporarily..."
The two unconsciously reached out to each other.
It was as if in their dying moments, undeniably close yet forever untouchable.
The onlookers were speechless.
What was with this scene that felt like lovers doomed by the Great Demon King...
"It's the final attack."
Yet the merciless Great Demon King showed no sympathy, coldly issuing the final command.
"Poisonous Snake King attacks Professor Chronos, Alien Insect Zero attacks Instructor Napoleon, direct attack!"
[Chronos, LP4000 → LP0]
[Napoleon, LP2800 → LP0]
