Chapter 123: Super Fusion Will Give You the Answer

Boom boom boom…

Accompanied by the falling Phantom Demon, Sen Dao was crushed beneath the massive Phantom Demon, his already battered body completely collapsing into unconsciousness.

Tiancheng Guang reached out and waved away the dust, walking forward through the ruins.

"H-how is this possible? Even the Chief Commander lost?!" The Alliance Doctor's face turned pale; he fell to the ground, thrashing wildly in panic, flailing his arms and legs.

In his mind, Chief Commander Sen Dao could effortlessly defeat any enemy…

He scrambled to his feet in a frenzy, and at that moment, he noticed the surrounding robot spirits slowly beginning to activate.

His heart filled with terror.

Because the attack power of Lei Huang Hamon had been reduced to zero, all the energy and life force absorbed from the spirits had been returned to their original owners.

So he still didn't understand how these robot spirit cards worked.

They were machines—clearly dismantled by him—yet they possessed "life." When their life force returned, even shattered shells and top gears automatically regenerated, renewed, becoming brand-new machines as if freshly manufactured!

No—

This wasn't the time to think about that!

The Alliance Doctor's expression changed.

He had dismantled these mechanical spirits; now that they'd regained life, they'd surely come after him.

That wouldn't do—

He still needed to conduct more research!

Thinking this, he scrambled to his feet, hands and feet moving frantically, reaching out to pull the lever beside him.

But when he placed his hand on it, he found that no matter how hard he pushed—even using both hands or jumping down to press—it wouldn't budge at all.

He looked at the lever: it was wrapped in purple puppet threads, tied lightly around it, seemingly fragile enough to snap with a single tug—but no matter how hard he pulled, it wouldn't break.

This thing belonged to that spirit beside Tiancheng Guang!

He instantly felt dread.

On the other side, Tiancheng Guang had already passed through the ruins and reached Sen Dao's side.

No…

It didn't seem like mere unconsciousness.

"His life force was absorbed by the Phantom Demon," Ye La glanced once and knew the answer—she, an expert in reincarnation, added, "The arrival of the Phantom Demon comes at a cost. Previously, though he could use the Phantom Demon cards, it was actually by sacrificing the life force of the spirits in this lab."

Ye La turned her head and added, "The ordinary fusion soldiers too."

Is that so?

Tiancheng Guang followed her gaze and finally shook his head.

This wasn't true death.

They were merely temporarily absorbed by the Phantom Demon spirits; as long as their bodies hadn't decayed, one day the Phantom Demon would expel their "souls," and they could be reborn.

Of course, that depends on whether any kind-hearted person exists.

Though not all of them were evil, from Sen Dao's behavior, he was clearly not merely brainwashed.

After all, Sen Dao was calm, clear-headed, rational—he knew exactly what he was doing, understood perfectly how he used Phantom Demon cards to absorb spirits—but he didn't care, because his goal was simply to climb upward using cards, to become a General, to become a "superior being" who could enslave spirits and humans.

Tiancheng Guang had no reason to care for such a man.

He walked to Sen Dao's side, waved away the air once more, bent down, and removed Sen Dao's Duel Disk from his arm, then carefully picked up the scattered cards on the ground.

He detached the deck, monster, and spell/trap cards from the Duel Disk, bundled them together, and quickly scanned them.

Unlike Shen Lin Yao's situation before.

Shen Lin Yao had prepared deliberately for an "assassination," so after his duel loss, all his cards turned into paper—clearly temporary counterfeits, especially the Shen Yan Emperor, which shattered after a single use.

But this time was different.

Sen Dao's deck consisted of cards of spirits forcibly controlled from this dimension; every single card was genuine. Though Lei Huang Hamon wasn't the original either, as a replica it wasn't merely a disposable test card like the one given to Shen Lin Yao.

From its appearance, this card was already a legitimate card.

Yet Tiancheng Guang could sense that Lei Huang's presence had already left this card.

Because the replication quality was indeed higher, the card could briefly summon Lei Huang—just as Tiancheng Guang's Flame Swordsman could appear across different Flame Swordsman cards, Lei Huang, as a Phantom Demon, could manifest even from a replica.

But that wasn't particularly important.

He found it hard to control the Phantom Demon's true form anyway; his goal was to liberate the spirits inside Lei Huang. He could also sense that Lei Huang had shown clear "preference"—he'd rather endure hunger than be controlled at will by the Fusion Army, even if absorbing spirits was satisfying.

So this card was preserved perfectly!

"This Phantom Demon is quite considerate," Ye La nodded beside him. "Even fragments would do, but a complete card saves a lot of effort."

Tiancheng Guang nodded. As he thought this, he suddenly felt heat in his chest, and his arm grew warm.

The Lei Huang Hamon in his hand suddenly emitted a brilliant flash of electricity.

?

At the same time, the spare card box at his waist also glowed red.

What's going on?

Before Tiancheng Guang could figure it out, a card shot violently from his deck, and simultaneously, a burst of flame erupted from the spare deck like a fire dragon.

Tiancheng Guang loosened his grip slightly, and Lei Huang floated upward.

Three cards formed a triangle, spinning continuously in the air.

Shen Yan Emperor Uria, Lei Huang Hamon…

Fusion Seal Creature—Dark????

"No, wait—don't!"

Tiancheng Guang felt as if he'd been thrown back a year—to the day he'd watched his Mechanical Giant fuse with two other cards into an ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant.

"Whoa… such immense power," Ye La murmured, momentarily stunned. "So these three demons weren't that weak after all…"

As an individual deity, she'd never witnessed such a "god-level fusion" before; now seeing it, she was genuinely astonished.

"So the third Phantom Demon is a Dark-element demon?"

Tiancheng Guang shrugged and nodded. "Probably."

Tiancheng Guang knew what the third Phantom Demon was.

The strongest Phantom Demon: the Phantom Demon Emperor Rabiel. The physical card of the Phantom Demon Emperor is a Dark-element Demon-type monster.

And the three Phantom Demons could fuse together!

That would be the true original of the Three Phantom Demons—the Ultimate Phantom Demon: Chaos Phantom Demon Amater!

He'd considered whether his Phantom Demon cards might fuse into Chaos Phantom Demon under Super Fusion—but he'd assumed it would require the Phantom Demon Emperor first.

He never expected this!

Tiancheng Guang rubbed his forehead.

After a swirl, the three cards descended. He caught them and found they'd merged into one card—but it emitted only a faint purple glow, like Midrash before… no, even more rudimentary than Midrash.

"That's fine. This card will probably take a very long time to awaken."

Though he'd lost the Seal Creature, that was something he'd already prepared for.

On the contrary—

Chaos Phantom Demon Amater!

With this card, he'd never again have to worry about any Phantom Demon.

Because he'd be the boss!
