Chapter 153: Too Much Fusion!

"First card, Spell Card: Ultra-Future Fusion!" Tenjo Hikari revealed a Continuous Spell Card, "This card allows you to show one Fusion Card from your Extra Deck and send the Fusion Materials to the Graveyard."

"I show Yin Liuxing Black Dragon!"

"Yin Liuxing Black Dragon?" Chui Xue, upon seeing the card, burst into laughter.

I never thought you, Tenjo, had a card like this—was it specifically meant to complement the card I played?

Tenjo Hikari nodded.

On the other side, Bai Long quietly lowered his head and asked his companion why he hadn't activated the Trap, while the furious Nine-Snake Kong Que retorted that they must strike decisively the moment the opponent's Fusion Monster appears.

"The Fusion Materials are Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Yin Liuxing Dragon—I send Yin Liuxing Dragon from my Deck to the Graveyard." Tenjo Hikari didn't pause, immediately playing his second card: "Next, Equip Spell Card: Future Fusion!"

"This card lets you directly select one Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, send all of that monster's Fusion Materials to the Graveyard, then perform a Fusion Summon! That Fusion Monster cannot attack during this turn!"

Tenjo Hikari opened his Extra Deck and displayed one of the monsters: "I choose the Fusion Monster, Gem-Knight Prism!"

"The Fusion Condition requires a Gem-Knight monster and a Thunder monster!"

"I send Gem-Knight Bai Jing and Lei Long from my Deck to the Graveyard—Fusion Summon!"

"Gem-Knight Prism!"

Gem-Knight Prism?

Upon seeing this monster, Tian Shang Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue, who had been lighting the scene for Tenjo Hikari, paused slightly.

If this was Future Fusion, logically, he should have been able to directly Fusion Summon Ancient Mechanical Ultimate Giant—why choose Gem-Knight Prism here?

Gem-Knight Prism could be summoned with Bright Fusion or Scatter Fusion, cards with more options—why preserve the rarer Future Fusion?

Gem-Knight Prism, Level 7, Earth Attribute, Thunder Type, ATK 2450.

"Wow! One of the Fusion Materials is Lei Long!"

A small voice echoed beside him.

So that's how it is.

Tian Shang Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue couldn't help but smile softly.

He never expected to be outshone by Guang at this moment—he should've been the more dazzling one.

"Gem-Knight Prism can destroy face-up cards on the field by discarding a Gem-Knight card. You plan to use it to destroy Dark God Bird?" Nine-Snake Kong Que lifted his head. "Naive. We are warriors guarding the 【Mountain】—how could we not recognize this card!"

"Activate Trap Card: God Bird Attack!"

"You can activate this by tributing one Bird-Beast monster on your field, targeting two cards on the field—destroy those cards!"

God Bird Attack—a card occasionally seen even before Tenjo Hikari's crossing, part of the classic yet affordable and effective RR and Blackwing series.

"I tribute the Harpy Spirit on my field to destroy your Future Fusion and face-down card!"

"Then, at this very moment, I chain a Trap Card!" Tenjo Hikari didn't hesitate. "Senior, I'm using your card!"

"Go ahead and unleash it!" Chui Xue laughed heartily. "Activate Continuous Trap Card: Red-Eyes Armor Spin! When you have a 【Red-Eyes】 monster on your field, you can target one Normal Monster in your Graveyard—Special Summon that monster!"

"Come forth, Yin Liuxing Dragon!"

A red-eyed, turtle-like crimson dragon, like a falling meteor, crashed down from the sky.

"But the destruction continues!" Nine-Snake Kong Que pointed his feathers like swords at Tenjo Hikari.

The next instant, the Harpy Spirit transformed into a giant wing, piercing like a blade into Tenjo Hikari's field.

The Trap Card that had just activated was instantly shattered, and simultaneously, Future Fusion was destroyed as well.

"Since Future Fusion was destroyed, your Fusion Monster must also go to the Graveyard!"

Boom—

Gem-Knight Prism shattered on cue.

"Eh—"

"We finally summoned a Fusion Monster, and it's gone in an instant."

"Big Brother Nine-Snake Kong Que seems really angry today."

Nine-Snake Kong Que raised his head, coldly speaking: "For those who dare enter the 【Mountain】 without permission, merely not expelling you immediately is our mercy—you still dare to blabber about giving children a Duel demonstration…"

"After you lose, I'll throw you into the chasm and let the wild winds blow over you for a full day!"

He's an angry kindergarten teacher.

Tian Shang Tianshang Yuan Chui Xue awkwardly chuckled twice.

But then he smiled again: "Whether it's blabber or not, you'll see soon enough, Spirit—don't forget, my junior still has four cards in hand unused."

"Four cards? Could those four Spell Cards still perform another Fusion?"

"Of course—" Tenjo Hikari shouted suddenly, "Activate Spell Card: Swap Fusion!"

"This card is treated as 【Fusion】 in name, and it can only Fusion using monsters on the field as materials!"

"What!" Nine-Snake Kong Que and Bai Long exclaimed together, "Under these circumstances—"

So that's how it is.

Chui Xue, watching Tenjo Hikari's moves, roughly understood his turn's strategy.

Since he had already seen Chui Xue's face-down card was "Red-Eyes Armor Spin," he chose two Fusions that included Normal Monsters—uncertain of the opponent's face-down card, he prioritized summoning Prism to bait the Trap.

Even though all were Fusions, Tenjo Hikari's mind remained sharply clear, with his own calculations and logic.

"I Fusion Red-Eyes Black Dragon on my field with Yin Liuxing Dragon on my field—Fusion Summon!"

"The Black Dragon symbolizing possibility—"

"The Legendary Monster!"

"Yin Liuxing Black Dragon!"

"Aooooo!!!"

Scorching flames erupted across the environment; a massive black dragon, its body dripping magma, fell from the sky like a fireball, crashing onto the mountain ground—many elder Spirits rushed to shield the young ones.

Yin Liuxing Black Dragon, Level 8, Fire Attribute, Dragon Type, ATK 3500.

"Wow!!!"

"He performed two Fusion Summons using three cards!"

"Nothing like what Big Brother and Big Sister usually show!"

Hearing the cheers around him, Tenjo Hikari smiled, then raised his card and shouted: "Not done yet, kids! Activate the effect of Swap Fusion from the Graveyard—banish it, return one Fusion Monster from the Graveyard to the Deck, then draw one card."

"I return Gem-Knight Prism to the Deck. Then I draw a card."

"And—Spell Card: Lei Long Fusion!"

"Lei Long Fusion?!"

"Wow!?! Wowwwww—"

Even Lei Tian Zhen Long couldn't help but glance over, astonished by the card.

"This card lets you return the Fusion Materials of a Thunder-type Fusion Monster from the field, Graveyard, or Banished Zone to the Deck, then Fusion Summon that Thunder-type Fusion Monster!"

"The Fusion Condition remains unchanged: a Gem-Knight monster and a Thunder monster!"

"I return Gem-Knight Bai Jing and Lei Long from the Graveyard to the Deck—Fusion Summon!"

"Come to me once more, Gem-Knight Prism!"

Captain Bai Jing, resurrected from death, stood before Tenjo Hikari—this endlessly dying and reviving sight reminded Ye La of many unpleasant memories, making him shiver involuntarily.

"Wow! This is too much Fusion!"

"And he revived his own Fusion Monster!"

"Hmm…"

Tiny spheres of lightning circled around Tenjo Hikari, falling into an unusual silence.

"Discard Gem-Knight Fusion from hand to activate Prism's effect—destroy your face-up Dark God Bird."

"Hmm—"

Prism raised its shield, refracting light onto the dark bird-beast; in moments, the giant bird was purified by the radiance and vanished from the field!

"Ugh…" Bai Long clutched his claws to his snout in awe. "So… so strong a Fusion user."

Even Nine-Snake Kong Que fell silent, not responding—he was genuinely pondering Tenjo Hikari's move. Still, when glancing at Chui Xue, he wore a fierce, hostile expression.
