Chapter 245: Fusion of the Dinosaur's Power!

"End of turn."

"At this moment, the effect of the Fusion Regeneration Mechanism activates, returning one Fusion Material from the graveyard to the hand. I add Chaos Warrior to my hand."

"Damn it... I'm already in such a pitiful state, and you still drag others here to watch my humiliation—you, junior, are truly disgusting!" Insect Yumei was slashed by the long blade of the Super Magical Warrior, sent flying, and lay sprawled in a pile of trash, muttering to himself.

"Think about what you've done." Tiancheng Guang had no intention of continuing this conversation.

He had no interest in topics already discussed before the duel.

He had only one thought now.

"Damn damn damn damn damn—"

"My turn!!"

"Draw card!!"

Insect Yumei erupted, leaping up, frantically drawing a card and shoving it into the Duel Disk without even looking: "This card is Greed Pot—I can draw two cards!"

He swiftly drew two cards.

"Activate Continuous Magic Card, Insect's Temptation! As long as this card is on the field, any monster on your side that was not summoned, flipped, or specially summoned this turn becomes an Insect-type!"

He shoved a Continuous Magic Card into the Duel Disk.

Long Qi, watching the live stream, instantly sat up straight.

As this card activated, the armor of the Super Magical Warrior gradually reshaped into something resembling an insect shell; his face also became slightly sharper, yet his overall form remained unchanged.

"Not done yet! I activate the Magic Card, Insect Net!"

"As long as this card is on the field, your Insect-type monsters cannot declare an attack!"

He swiftly laid down several cards.

"No matter how strong your monster is, if it can't attack, it's useless!"

"Finally, I summon in Defense Position—Substitute Locust!"

Substitute Locust, Level 4, Earth Attribute, Insect-Type, Defense 1200.

"Heh... heh... heh..." Sweat drenched his body and forehead; he looked as if he'd been pulled from boiling water, like a soaked stray dog.

The card Substitute Locust has an effect: when sent to the graveyard, it can special summon an Insect-type from the hand.

If he can just hold on, he can special summon an upper-level Insect from his hand—then he still has a chance!

He won't lose!

Besides, even if he loses, even if he loses—it's still Black Magician—

It's still Black Magician!

"How's that? This is my Insect Chain!"

Tiancheng Guang finally showed a hint of interest—

No.

Rather,

He had finally completed all his preparations.

He looked down at the card in his hand and said to Insect Yumei: "Insect Yumei, the card in my hand right now is the one Long Qi drew against you during your last duel."

What?

Insect Yumei froze.

"You, you, no—could it be—"

"After several prolonged turns, both sides exhausted their resources, and you shifted to defense." Tiancheng Guang recalled the recorded duel he had watched.

Meanwhile, Long Qi, watching the live stream, was also recalling it.

His duel with Insect Yumei wasn't short—they battled through multiple turns.

Because he had been injured beforehand, his dueling grew increasingly difficult.

Just as he felt he was about to collapse—and also felt he was about to win—Insect Yumei changed tactics, switching to a "defensive strategy."

Through various type-changes and special summons, he summoned more and more Insects, slowly devouring Long Qi.

Slowly... dragging out the time.

At that final critical moment—

He drew the card that had accompanied him for over a decade.

The card that represented his 【mistake】.

The card he had used during the 【Orichalcos Incident】.

But the prolonged duel had rendered his right hand completely numb; he dropped the card by accident, and "lost" the duel.

"My turn, draw—"

Tiancheng Guang glanced at the drawn card, smirked, flipped it over, and placed it face-down on his right hand; then, with his index and middle fingers, he took the card from his left hand and slapped it onto the Duel Disk.

"I am the Absolute Fusion Duelist, pursuing ultimate fusion!"

"The power of friends, classmates, and teachers will make my fusion stronger."

"Because this is 【Fusion】!"

"And now, you insect scum, let me show you why you are the 【legendary scumbag】, while Brother Long Qi has become the 【legendary duelist】!"

"Normal Summon!"

"Hellfire Wyvern!"

"Aaaahhhhh—"

Before even attacking, Insect Yumei began screaming.

"No, no no no, not this—absolutely not!"

Hellfire Wyvern!

Long Qi's card, his former " Wangpai component."

After Long Qi became the spokesperson duelist for Fengguang Company, he worked hard to change his image, improve his card skills, and even earned the chance to join Kaiba Company's Duelist Travel, obtaining cards from the Otherworld—Juroji.

This was his success.

But he never forgot these cards.

Just as he still uses some of his old lower-level monsters today.

And this card, after responding to him, had undergone "evolution."

Hellfire Wyvern, Level 4, Wind Attribute, Dinosaur-Type, Attack 1400.

A plain, unadorned, ordinary Wyvern raised its head and screamed, as if venting its anger, venting its regret for never having been able to appear before.

"This monster's effect: This card's effect can only be activated once per turn: Add one 【Fusion】 from your deck to your hand!"

"I add the third Fusion card, which I've never drawn into my hand, to my hand."

No need to use field effects!

No need to discard cards!

Directly add 【Fusion】 to the hand.

"Next, activate the Magic Card, Fusion!"

"No, don't—" Insect Yumei, seeing Tiancheng Guang insert Fusion into the Duel Disk, recoiled in terror, stumbled over discarded trash, and collapsed completely onto the ground.

At this moment, he seemed as if he had never grown up—he was still the small boy he once was.

And Tiancheng Guang was the taller one.

"Fusion Condition—Hellfire Wyvern and a Dinosaur-type or Dragon-type monster!"

"I fuse Hellfire Wyvern on the field with Curse Dragon in my hand!"

"The symbol of the ancient Dinosaur Duelist shines here!"

"Crawl forth from Hell!"

"Prove your new form!"

Long Qi couldn't help but laugh, leaning back and exhaling a long, heavy breath.

Goodbye.

【Friend】.

Goodbye.

Past.

"Fusion Summon!!"

"Level 6, Hellhound Tyrant!"

"Gaaaoohhh!!!!"

A purely black, unpatterned, simply shaped ancient Dinosaur monster flew in from afar, circled in midair; though it didn't attack, it snarled and tore at Insect Yumei with vicious, empty jaws.

Hellhound Tyrant, Level 6, Dark Attribute, Dinosaur-Type, Attack 2000.

"Oh... this effect is great—perfect for someone who didn't draw Fusion Regeneration Mechanism." Ye La peered over curiously.

This card, upon successful Fusion Summon, can retrieve or recover a Field Magic—extremely useful for Tiancheng Guang. Whether Fusion Gate or Fusion Regeneration Mechanism, both are excellent Fusion targets.

Tiancheng Guang nodded and asked: "Ready?"

"Don't worry—it's just a human with a damaged soul and no Spirit protection," Ye La waved dismissively.

"Then—" Tiancheng Guang raised the card of Hellhound Tyrant.

"Hellhound Tyrant can attack the opponent directly—and since it was Fusion Summoned this turn, it won't become an Insect-type!"

"Eeeeee!!!" Insect Yumei completely merged with the trash pile, refusing, utterly refusing, to be directly attacked by this monster.

Because this means—this means—

He, this former "boss," this "champion," had utterly lost his last shred of superiority over Dragon Long Qi!

It wasn't just jealousy—it was his final, final trace of dignity!

"Hell Hound Tyrant Dragon, direct attack!"

Hell Hound Tyrant Dragon leaped high into the air, then transformed into a blade, crashing wildly into Insect Yumei.

Purple puppet threads wrapped around its body, turning it into a purple meteor.

With a thunderous boom.

It collided with Insect Yumei; trash and discarded metal shards flew everywhere, as if declaring something, burying this "legendary duelist" beneath the refuse.
