Chapter 157: Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer!

"What is this power!?"

The first to react was not Serena and Saiou Mizuchi who were watching the battle, but the Light of Destruction who was controlling Saiou’s Shadow.

The more powerful the existence, the more they understood at this moment just how terrifying the card Tenjou Hikari was about to use was!

"Wait—"

Precisely because of this, He absolutely could not let that card be activated.

"Activate Counter Trap, Magic Jammer... wha, what’s going on!"

"It’s useless!"

Tenjou Hikari held the card high, and countless thunders gathered from all directions.

"The activation of Super Polymerization cannot be countered by anything, it’s invincible power!"

"Release the ultimate power!"

"Absolutely invincible!"

"Super Polymerization!"

"This—" Saiou’s Shadow stared blankly at this scene.

Even the Light of Destruction couldn't do anything at this moment and could only watch the card activate foolishly.

He... couldn't even reverse time at this moment!

The moment this card was activated, everything was already [Decided]!

"I see..." Light of Ruin finally realized the [Truth] after the fact.

"The possibility you possess, the possibility that you can destroy countless dimensions, is not that unknown alien god... is it..."

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" Tenjou Hikari held the card, forcibly catalyzing a Fusion monster card he didn't have, letting Super Polymerization crazily drain his power.

For victory, for everything.

In a trance, he felt his body become light, and his soul seemed to become ethereal.

"It seems that this power doesn't completely belong to you." Seeing this scene, Light of Ruin continued, "Indeed, it possesses the power to destroy the world, and it seems to be the ultimate answer of Fusion."

"However!!"

"Before performing Fusion, you will be [Destroyed] by its power!"

Light of Ruin sneered and shook His figure: "It seems that the answer of this world is ultimately... destruction."

Just as He said this, suddenly, Tierra cursed under her breath, muttered "At worst, I’ll just fall asleep again!", and then she reached out and grabbed Tenjou Hikari’s right hand. A radiance suddenly erupted from her body, and several different silver-white demons emerged from her body, and these existences provided power together.

Light of Ruin suddenly froze.

Flame Swordsman, Black Flame Knight, Bai Jing, Alchemy Alchemist, Thousand-Eyes Idol, One-Eyed Shield, Assault Core A... countless of Tenjou Hikari’s partners appeared at this time, providing their power.

At the same time.

Dasher, Denier, Dreadmaster, D-Chain, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Dystopia, the heroes belonging to Edo, appeared beside Tenjou Hikari at this time, providing him with power.

Tenjou Hikari felt the pain slowly subside.

The light lit up gently.

The Fool, Hierophant, Demon, The Sun, and... [The World] appeared beside Tenjou Hikari.

"Wha!?? What are you doing!!!" Saiou’s Shadow roared angrily.

But, it wasn't over yet.

The souls sealed in [The Light Ruler], the figures of Edo and Saiou, appeared completely beside Tenjou Hikari, touching the card together.

"Fuse everything, turn destruction into rebirth—"

"Use... my power!"

"Fuse Phoenix Enforcer on the field and Malicious on the field!!!"

The two monsters leaped high and jumped into that huge vortex.

"The world, humans, the process of dueling, is crushing and re-creation, refining everything, and sublimating into a brand new posture!"

"Fusion Summon!!!"

"Level 8!"

"Destiny HERO..."

In Tenjou Hikari’s hand, a card appeared out of thin air. Immediately after, in the purple light, a figure was drawn, and a card full of cracks, as if it would shatter at any time, was born in Tenjou Hikari’s hand.

"Become the immortal HERO!"

"Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer!"

Scorching flames surged, a HERO waved his hands, spread his wings, and slowly descended.

Destruction, death, pain, but in the end, what would come would be—rebirth.

"Actually..." The Light of Destruction was completely shocked.

Destiny HERO Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Level 8, DARK, Warrior-type, ATK 2500.

"This is... the HERO born from Fusion!" Serena covered her mouth excitedly, "All... the fusion of all power..."

Tenjou Hikari panted heavily, supporting his thighs with both hands, bowing his waist, panting while asking: "Are you ready to repent? Light of Destruction."

"...Interesting, really interesting! Human!" The Light of Ruin finally had biological emotional fluctuations when He saw this monster appear, "I am indeed very surprised that you could use such a powerful card without being destroyed yourself—however, its ATK is only 2500. As long as The Light Ruler is on the field, your monsters cannot activate effects!"

"Heh—when Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer is on the field, all monsters on your field—" Tenjou Hikari slowly straightened his body, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the two monsters in the air, "Reduce ATK by the number of [HERO] monsters in my Graveyard x 200!"

"...What! Another... effect that works without activation!?" Light of Ruin exclaimed.

"Now, the HEROES residing in my Graveyard are..."

Tenjou Hikari looked at the Graveyard, and the images of one HERO after another appeared: "Avian, Burstinatrix, Phoenix Enforcer, Malicious, Denier, Dogma, Disk Commander, Dystopia, a total of... 8 cards, so, all monsters on your field lose 1600 ATK!"

"What?" Saiou’s Shadow widened his eyes in surprise.

The Light Ruler, ATK: 3300 → 1700

The Dark Ruler, ATK: 4000 → 2400

"Tch..."

"Battle, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer attacks The Light Ruler!"

"Eternal Burning Wings!"

The immortal HERO jumped into the air, burning with flames, destroying this monster that commanded light and darkness.

The excess flames burned onto Saiou, burning his Life Points lower.

Saiou’s Shadow, LP: 8100 → 7300.

"However, The Dark Ruler has 4000 DEF!" The Light of Destruction couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

The Dark Ruler in Heads position has the effect of attacking twice, but after the two attacks end, it will turn into Defense Position.

These 4000 DEF, these two monsters simply couldn't cross!

"Because The Light Ruler on your field has been destroyed, I can activate the effects of monsters on the field again! Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer’s effect! Once per turn, during either player's turn, destroy 1 card on my field and 1 card on the field."

"What?!"

"I choose Phoenix Enforcer and your Dark Ruler!"

"Tch..."

Phoenix Enforcer burned with raging flames, burning The Dark Ruler to ashes.

In this way, Saiou’s Shadow’s field was empty.

"Actually destroyed your own trump card that you Fusion Summoned with such difficulty just to destroy The Dark Ruler, it seems..."

"Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer’s effect!"

"...?"

"Activate when this card is destroyed by battle or card effect! During the Standby Phase of the next turn, Special Summon one [Destiny HERO] from my Graveyard."

Tenjou Hikari tapped his forehead gently: "You shouldn't have forgotten the name of Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, right?"

"A destruction effect that can revive itself?" Serena opened her mouth wide.

Every one of these three effects sounded exaggerated; adding the three effects together, it was no longer "exaggerated"!

"...Destroyed... and then returned from death, endless, reincarnation and rebirth..." Tierra looked at Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer in the Graveyard, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, "I kind of like this card."

"Destruction... and then... rebirth?" The Light of Ruin’s figure trembled crazily; He seemed to be unable to hold on.

"Battle continues, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer and Colossus attack directly!"

Phoenix Enforcer burned with flames, and Colossus spat thunder, venting his resentment of being beaten.

Saiou’s Shadow, LP: 4700 → 0.

"End turn."

Saiou’s Shadow was already stunned; he drew a card from the Deck almost by instinct.

Light Barrier began to rotate, and then automatically landed in Heads position.

Only this time, he didn't have the heart to rejoice.

Because—

That monster, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, appeared on Tenjou Hikari’s field again!

"So that’s how it is..." The Light of Destruction finally understood the meaning of Tenjou Hikari’s words earlier.

[Reverse time to the first turn, otherwise, you will definitely not win].

At this moment, even if time were reversed to the beginning, Tenjou Hikari could directly use Fusion Destiny to summon this HERO! From the beginning, from the source, erase all [Death] [Destruction] [Domination].

Because Colossus was on the field, Saiou’s Shadow couldn't even add cards from the Deck to his hand. Even if he successfully recovered Light of Ruin, it was just a Continuous Spell Card that increased ATK by 300!

And because of the existence of Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, no matter what he summoned, as long as he destroyed it with Phoenix Enforcer before "danger" appeared, it would be fine!

Light of Ruin looked at the scene in shock.

He seemed... to have lost?!

No room for any control!?

Clearly possessing over eight thousand Life Points, invincible monsters, and the talent to control destiny, the result—he lost?

And, it was a loss that seemed impossible to save no matter how he operated!

"Defense Summon Lovers."

Saiou’s Shadow, whom he copied, still continued the duel, even though anyone could see that he was doomed to lose, he still persisted.

Is this... dueling?

"It’s useless, in your End Phase, I will destroy Phoenix Enforcer, and then destroy your Lovers!"

"My turn—draw. Return from destruction again, immortal HERO!"

The phoenix burned with flames, returning from the Graveyard. In a trance, Edo’s appearance seemed to overlap with it.

In one duel, Tenjou Hikari used almost all the Fusion cards in his Deck, only then finally gathering this scene.

He smiled.

"Battle, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer and Colossus attack directly!"

Phoenix Enforcer burned with flames, and Colossus spat thunder.

"Ahhhhhhh—"

Saiou’s Shadow, LP: 4700 → 0.

Amidst thunder and flames, Saiou’s Shadow’s Life Points returned to zero.

He slowly knelt on the ground with his upper body straight, foolishly in place, opened his mouth, spat out countless burning white lights, and his figure gradually began to return to the appearance of an ordinary human.

The light began to dissipate, and Tenjou Hikari noticed that the light gathered on this tower gradually dissipated, while Tenjou Hikari, who had forcibly fused Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, felt his body gradually recover.

That light, which should have destroyed everything and crushed everything, began to slowly restore Tenjou Hikari’s body and repair his losses as promised.

He looked at the card in his hand. The card turned into fragments like ice and dissipated into the air, but that power remained in Tenjou Hikari’s and Edo’s Decks.

"Truly... let Me see an unbelievable scene."

The world, the universe, and all things reappeared beside Tenjou Hikari, appearing beside him, placing him in the universe.

Tenjou Hikari’s heart skipped a beat.

It seems he had to face that Light of Ruin directly.
