Chapter 154: Fusion Synergy

Tenjou Hikari didn't expect the opponent to have such a card, but upon reflection, it was normal.

Let’s see what this thing does.

"Once per turn, discard one card to activate. Add 2 [Arcana Force] monster cards with different names from my Deck to my hand! This turn, I cannot Special Summon monsters other than [Arcana Force]!"

Tenjou Hikari twitched his eyebrows.

Good guy.

Such a strong effect.

It was actually a precise 2-card search.

"I discard one card from my hand and add [Arcana Force V - The Hierophant] and [Arcana Force XIX - The Sun] from my Deck to my hand."

"I activate the Field Spell Card, Light Barrier!"

In the sky, bright light illuminated the entire dimension.

"As long as this card is on the field, the effects activated when my [Arcana Force] monsters are Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned do not require a coin toss; I choose one to apply."

"Eh?" Seeing this card appear, Saiou Mizuchi was somewhat surprised.

Although this was a Field Spell Card dedicated to Arcana Force, this card really surprised her.

Her brother shouldn't need to use this kind of card, right?

"I Normal Summon Arcana Force VI - The Lovers!"

"According to the effect of Light Barrier, I choose Heads!"

The Lovers card automatically appeared face-up without rotating.

The Lovers in Heads position can be used as two Tributes when Summoning an Arcana Force monster.

Arcana Force VI - The Lovers, Level 4, LIGHT, Fairy-type, ATK 1600.

"The effect of Light of Ruin: the ATK and DEF of Fairy-type monsters on my field increase by 300."

Arcana Force VI - The Lovers, ATK: 1600 → 1900.

"When there is a card on my field that requires a coin toss, this card can be Special Summoned directly!"

"Hahahaha—Tenjou Hikari, this is the card born from your power, the 19th card of the Major Arcana, The Sun!"

Tenjou Hikari raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Saiou controlled by the Light of Ruin was almost exactly the same as the original Saiou.

Arcana Force XIX - The Sun, Level 7, LIGHT, Fairy-type, ATK 2900 → 3200.

The Sun card began to rotate and then immediately stopped in Heads position.

"I choose Heads! Activate its effect: set one Spell Card that requires a coin toss on my field from my Deck!" Saiou grinned and took a card from his Deck, "I set the Spell Card Second Coin Toss on the field, then activate it!"

Second Coin Toss flipped open and began to rotate slowly. Tenjou Hikari noticed that Saiou seemed a bit nervous.

"Of course—Heads!"

Ding—

Second Coin Toss turned to Heads.

"I draw two cards!" Saiou laughed loudly, "Then, it’s time to deal with that annoying Winda."

Because of Winda’s effect, both players could only Special Summon once per turn, so he could only Special Summon The Sun to destroy Winda and then proceed with operations in the Main Phase.

"The Sun attacks El Shaddoll Winda!"

"At this moment, I activate the monster effect of Aleister the Invoker from my hand!"

"What!?"

"Target 1 Fusion Monster on the field; that monster gains 1000 ATK and DEF until the end of the turn! I will increase Winda’s ATK!"

Winda, ATK: 2200 → 3200.

"It’s actually the same as The Sun—"

"Since you said it’s a card born from my power, then use my power to crush it! Go, Winda!"

Winda controlled the dragon and entangled with The Sun. A moment later, both monsters were destroyed.

"Tch, playing little tricks." Saiou snorted coldly, "Deliberately not summoning it, not using its effect to take Invocation, to lure me in? If it weren't for Light Barrier increasing ATK by 300, I probably would have been completely fooled and lost the duel at the start."

"This is also a revelation of destiny, Tenjou Hikari!"

"The Lovers attacks Sapphire."

Because its DEF was only 0, Sapphire was easily destroyed.

"The effect of the Field Spell Light Barrier: when an Arcana Force monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, I gain Life Points equal to that monster's original ATK!"

Saiou’s Shadow, LP: 4000 → 5400.

"Sapphire’s effect! When this card is sent to the Graveyard from the field, target 1 monster on the opponent's field; return that card to the opponent's hand!"

"Go back, Lovers!"

"Tch..." Saiou looked at the card flying into his hand and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Battle end, Main Phase 2, I activate the Spell Card, Arcana Reading."

"When Light Barrier is on the field, I don't need to toss a coin; I directly choose one effect to activate. I activate the Tails effect: Special Summon The Sun from my Graveyard."

The Sun stood on Saiou’s field again.

"Of course, still Heads!" Saiou opened his Deck again, "I set the Spell Card Cup of Ace on the field, then activate it."

The cup rotated for a moment and appeared face-up again, and Saiou drew a card.

Saiou’s Shadow LP: 5400 → 5900.

Tenjou Hikari frowned slightly.

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he always felt this Saiou was very nervous.

"It seems destiny has played a little joke on you." Saiou chuckled, "I drew a very critical card."

"I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Field Barrier!" A circular ring-shaped wall suddenly appeared on the field, enveloping the entire tower, "As long as this card exists, neither player can destroy Field Spell Cards, nor can they activate Field Spell Cards."

Tenjou Hikari frowned tightly.

Why this kind of card?

"I set one card and end my turn!"

"Oh no, Tenjou Hikari’s field is empty, and brother’s field... has a high-level monster with over three thousand ATK..." Mizuchi became nervous.

She hadn't seen Saiou’s previous duels, but just looking at this scene, she felt Tenjou Hikari was already in danger.

"Don't worry, my master is super strong." Serena cheered her up.

"My turn, draw!" Tenjou Hikari drew a card.

Because of Field Barrier, he couldn't find his most commonly used Fusion Recovery, nor could he destroy Light Barrier.

However, that [Light of Ruin] could search for two Arcana Force cards per turn. If it stayed, a long duel would be very disadvantageous for him.

Then, prioritize destroying Light of Ruin!

"I activate the Continuous Spell Card, Flame Sword Domain!"

"Then, I activate the effect of Destiny HERO Malicious in my Graveyard, banish it, and Special Summon another Malicious from my Deck!"

"I Special Summon Malicious from my Deck, then immediately use the effect of Flame Sword Domain to send it to the Graveyard and Fusion Summon a [Flame Swordsman] from my Extra Deck!"

"Hahaha! Master, just leave it to me!"

Flame Swordsman, Level 5, FIRE, Warrior-type, DEF 1600.

Tenjou Hikari nodded gently, then drew a card from his left hand: "I activate the Spell Card! Fusion Destiny!"

"This card can send monsters from the Deck to the Graveyard to perform a Destiny HERO Fusion Summon. The monster Special Summoned by this effect is destroyed during the End Phase of the next turn, and after this card is activated, I cannot Special Summon HERO monsters other than DARK attribute until the end of the turn."

"Edo, I need to use your power!"

"The Fusion condition is two Destiny HERO monsters!"

"I send Destiny HERO Denier and Destiny HERO Dogma from my Deck to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon!"

"Noble HERO, appear before me under the call of destiny!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 8, Destiny HERO Dystopia!"

The HERO commonly used by Edo leaped onto the field, roaring and punching forward.

Destiny HERO Dystopia, Level 8, DARK, Warrior-type, ATK 2800.

"Dystopia’s monster effect: when this card is Special Summoned successfully, inflict damage to the opponent equal to the ATK of one Level 4 or lower HERO in the Graveyard. I choose Dogma!"

"Sublime Justice!"

Dystopia couldn't suppress his anger at all; before he finished, he had already rushed in front of Saiou and punched him.

Saiou’s Shadow, LP: 5900 → 4300.

"Battle, Dystopia attacks The Sun! Activate the effect of Flame Sword Domain, reduce Flame Swordsman’s ATK by 1000, increase the ATK of all other monsters on my field by 1000. Sink into silence again! The Sun!"

Dystopia, ATK: 2800 → 3800.

"Naive, I activate the Trap Card, Waboku!" Saiou’s twisted face smiled ferociously, "This turn, my monsters cannot be destroyed by battle, and I take no battle damage!"

"How about that, Tenjou Hikari? With this, your attack has failed!"

"Heh, you’re the naive one! Dystopia’s monster effect: when this card’s ATK is different from its original ATK, it returns to its original ATK, and I can target one card on the field! Destroy that card!"

"I want to destroy you—Light of Ruin!"

The phantom floating behind Saiou heard Tenjou Hikari’s words and snorted coldly, but couldn't give a counterattack.

"So amazing." Saiou Mizuchi shouted in surprise.

Different systems, different types, different Fusion monsters summoned by different Fusions, yet they could synergize, hitting an extraordinary Fusion synergy, allowing Fusion monsters of different systems to combine with each other...

Is this "Ultimate Fusion"!?
