Chapter 254

"Fusion again..."

Seeing Tenjou Hikari play a Fusion card again, even the Light Emperor didn't know what to say.

The light that was always shining on him seemed to become much dimmer.

As a spirit among the "Monarchs," the Light Emperor is a relatively special spirit among the Monarchs—

In the Spell and Trap cards of the Monarch faction, you can see almost all the Monarchs, but you can't see the Light Emperor, Dark Emperor, and Magic Emperor.

The normal element-faction Monarchs are actually subjects of the "Underworld Monarch," while he is a special Monarch.

Of course, that is the story of the "Monarchs" themselves. As a spirit, he has only one characteristic in the Monarch domain, that is: rare.

As an extremely rare Light Emperor, he was the most special and most protected one in the group from birth. Similarly, his power growth rate far exceeded that of spirits of the same group.

This is the "favor" given by birth.

After coming to this dimension, he also gained the power given by "Heaven," a light power that can become stronger as long as it keeps destroying and fighting, so he looked down on other spirits even more.

But even he has to admit one thing.

That is, without a "squire," he cannot Tribute Summon monsters.

Just—

Similarly.

All fusion?

This is too exaggerated.

"This card name can only be activated once per turn." Tenjou Hikari explained the effect of the card, "If the opponent has a monster on the field. I can send the fusion materials from the deck to the graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon of a 【Gem-Knight】 monster other than Rock-Type!

Send Gem-Knight Crystal and Thunder Dragon from the deck to the graveyard."

Gaia noticed that a spirit as high as a mountain with red puppet lines all over its body and a small black dragon waved at it.

"Fusion Summon! Level 7, Gem-Knight Prismaura!"

Captain Crystal's initial fusion posture, and also the Gem-Knight Tenjou Hikari uses most often, stood on the field, covered in white crystals like ice cones.

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

"Actually 2450??"

The Light Emperor saw this and exclaimed.

Exactly 50 points higher in attack power??

"Haha, actually 2450—" Gaia also couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Battle, Prismaura, crush that ice-blue Monarch!"

Prismaura raised the lance in his hand and rushed towards the Frost Monarch. The Frost Monarch entangled with it. Although it sealed Prismaura's effect, its attack power was 50 points higher than the Frost Monarch.

And in this game of Yu-Gi-Oh.

If your attack power is 1 higher, you are the big brother.

Bang—

After a tragic fight, the Frost Monarch was pierced through the heart, and the cold ice permeating the field gradually receded.

Light Emperor LP: 3900→3850.

"Defeated the Frost Monarch!"

Tenjou Hikari clenched his fist lightly and raised it in front of him: "Cover one card, end turn!"

However, although the turn had ended, the Light Emperor still remained silent there, not moving.

Tenjou Hikari raised his eyebrows: "It's your turn."

And beside the Light Emperor, several of his servants also tried to call the Lord's attention.

After all, although the monster was destroyed, the gap between life points was obvious. Compared with 3850 life points, 2400 life points were obviously the lesser side. They still believed in their Majesty very much.

"How dare..."

The Light Emperor whispered.

"Your Majesty—"

"How dare..."

"Lord Kreis?!"

"How dare!!!" The Light Emperor roared, his body suddenly erupted with terrifying light, and the rolling, white mist mixed with black gas and golden stars turned into a giant curtain behind him.

"How dare you insult me with this 100, 50 value! Use that dirty monster to touch me!!"

"Wow." Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but rummage through his clothes and found a pair of sunglasses.

A bit too bright.

"I changed my mind!" The Light Emperor's eyes glowed with scarlet light, looking at Tenjou Hikari, or rather, looking at Gaia, "I originally wanted to use you to attract more weak spirits, and then destroy them all at once—but, I changed my mind!

I want to kill you all here!

Anyone who dares to disobey me deserves to die!

I want to turn you into nourishment for light, to enhance myself!"

"What did you say!?" Gaia screamed.

Could it be that the escape last time wasn't its clever jump into the river, but it deliberately let it go?!

"My turn, draw card!" The Light Emperor drew a card, then pointed to the graveyard, "Activate the effect of the Underworld Squire in the graveyard, banish this card in the graveyard, and revive a monster with 800 ATK and 1000 DEF other than the Underworld Squire! This turn, I cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck!"

"I Special Summon the Ice Monarch's Squire from the graveyard!"

"Then, I will use it as a sacrifice, Tribute Summon—Zaborg the Thunder Monarch!"

It still had itself in its hand, but it couldn't fight in the turn it was summoned/special summoned, so it chose this monster.

Boom!

A thunderbolt struck from the sky, followed by a green-haired monster driving thunder and lightning walking out of the light.

Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, Level 5, Light Attribute, Thunder-Type, ATK 2400.

The only 5-star monster among the Monarchs.

"When this card is summoned, destroy 1 monster on the field! I will destroy your Gem-Knight!"

The Thunder Monarch gathered thunder light in both hands, then aimed at Prismaura. Prismaura whispered and was hit by the electric light, unable to use the mirror to refract, and disappeared with a bang.

"Hehehehehe, this way, your 2400 life points will be eliminated at once!"

It pointed at Tenjou Hikari: "Go, go attack directly! Thunder Monarch!"

"Open cover card, Shaddoll Core." Tenjou Hikari opened the cover card calmly, "This card can turn into a monster card, it is a universal fusion material for Shaddoll, and can turn into fusion material of any attribute.

After activation, it will become an Effect Monster and defend on the field."

Shaddoll Core, Level 9, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, DEF 1950.

"Tch..."

The Light Emperor sneered, but still destroyed this monster.

Gaia looked at this monster, then looked at Captain Crystal, which made it scratch its head—and then Gaia was even more convinced.

Isn't this its head?

"Hmph, fine, I originally wanted to end your pain easily here, but since you are still holding on to your boring ideas, let you see the strongest card of our Monarchs!"

"End battle, activate Field Spell card—Domain of the True Monarchs!"

Black mist rose from behind him, the entire arena became darker and darker. Behind him, it seemed that a Monarch who was taller and more oppressive than him was sitting there quietly.

But then—

His figure turned into nothingness, replaced by the continuously surging light emitting black gas.

"As long as this card is on the field, there are no cards in your Extra Deck, and you have a Tribute Summoned monster on your field—the opponent cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck!"

The Light Emperor laughed wildly: "No matter how many Spells you have, no matter how good you are at fusion, no matter what power you have, in this domain of the true Monarch, it will all be in vain!"

"How pathetic."

"!!?"

He was stunned, looking at Tenjou Hikari who spoke.

"You... what did you just say? Pathetic? Me!? This natural king?"

"I thought you were bewitched by the power of light. Now it seems that you seem to have been craving that light from the beginning."

"Oh ho? You also recognize this symbol of the strong?"

"Strong? The true Monarchs might indeed be strong, but you are just a fake Monarch!"

"Presumptuous—" The Light Emperor's servants were filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could draw their swords and pierce Tenjou Hikari.

"Ha—" At this time, the Light Emperor didn't care anymore, raised his hand, and stopped his subordinates from discussing, "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's a dying person, let him say whatever he wants."

"End turn!"

Tenjou Hikari shook his head.

In the Domain of the True Monarchs, when the phantom of the king was replaced by the phantom of the Light of Destruction, Tenjou Hikari knew that this Light Emperor was no longer the kind of "spirit within the system."

Any dimension, any spirit force, has an instinctual behavior—protecting the young in the group.

And the Light Emperor is different. Not only does it hunt inferior warriors at will, but it doesn't even care about the leaders of the group.

If there were ideas or other reasons, that would be fine, but this guy is simply sacrificing those spirits to the Light of Destruction.

No wonder the Light of Destruction is much stronger than Tenjou Hikari's impression. I'm afraid that in different dimensions, there are spirits doing this.

"Lord—"

"What's wrong?"

Tenjou Hikari heard Gaia's voice and asked back.

"Please let me exert my power—"

"When I couldn't exert my power alone, I was defeated by this guy and could only watch the inferior warriors being swallowed by that group of light, becoming pure energy—after that, I have been doubting myself.

Is belief important, or is power important!

It was the Lord's words, that ultimate pursuit of fusion, that made me persist until now.

So... in the case that I cannot complete 【fusion】 alone, I hope the Lord can defeat this guy!"

Tenjou Hikari couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Gaia, you are already a part of pursuing 【fusion】, so you don't need to ask me—"

"My turn, draw card!" Tenjou Hikari drew a card, looked at the pattern on the card, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

It turned out to be this card.

He looked at the opponent: "Indeed, the existence of The Monarchs Erupt, Domain of the True Monarchs, and Domain of the True Monarchs, ordinary duelists who use fusion, I'm afraid they will be defeated by you easily. Even Gaia lost to you.

But—

It's a pity, this duel seems to be ending here."

"Ha, what kind of wishful thinking are you talking about? My extreme seal, the power of the Monarch, how do you cross the heavy seals to defeat me!?"

"Ha... that's not simple—activate Field Spell card! Chaos Field!"

"Wh—"

That's right.

Just like before, in this world's Field Spell cards, both sides can only exist 1, and the next Field Spell will squeeze the previous one!

The black mist gradually dissipated, and the distorted light was squeezed to the side by purer, brighter, and even blade-like white light.

"What is this?" The Light Emperor couldn't help but retreat, looking around, "Why, I have a feeling of palpitation..."

In the infinite light, it seemed to see a terrifying golden armored warrior, glancing here from afar.

Well done, Gaia—

In the hearts of everyone present, such a voice seemed to sound.

Tenjou Hikari looked at the field card in his hand.

This is Gaia's power.

I don't know how many times it can be used, maybe it will become another fusion card next time.

It's better to let Gaia keep this kind of commemorative card.

"When this card is activated, from the deck, add 1 【Black Luster Soldier】 Ritual monster or 【Gaia the Fierce Knight】 monster to your hand."

"I add Gaia the Fierce Knight to my hand—"

"Ha, Gaia? Until now, do you want to Tribute Summon that guy? However, that monster's attack power is only 2300 points!"

"No!"

"I am Tenjou Hikari, the absolute fusion duelist who pursues ultimate fusion! So, no matter what card I activate, no matter what monster I use, in the end, I only have one goal!

That is—fusion!"

"Tch—even if Domain of the True Monarchs is destroyed, you can continue to fuse, it's useless, because on my field, there is still The Monarchs Erupt, you can't defeat me with fusion monsters!"

"I said it many times." Tenjou Hikari shook his head, "Why don't you understand? Light Emperor—if monster effects can't be exerted, then use fusion to assist!

See it, this is the fusion used by me and Gaia's power!

Activate Spell card!

Spiral Fusion!"

Fusion and fusion again!

The Light Emperor's face was distorted, and he said viciously: "How many times have I said, weak guy, no matter how many come, it's useless—"

"Spiral Fusion is a Fusion Spell card exclusively for Dragon-Type."

"I fuse Gaia the Fierce Knight and Curse of Dragon in my hand."

"And at this time—the true effect of Spiral Fusion will erupt!"

What is that?

In the sky, a huge lance fell suddenly, and then like a vortex in the center of the ocean, it spun crazily and spiraled crazily.

"Come on, the partner I met on the true path of fusion!"

"Cross time, cross hardships, become a true 【fusion】 monster!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 7, Gaia the Dragon Champion!"

Gaia's figure emerged, grabbed the lance on the ground, and held it with the lance in his hand, becoming a dual-wielding warrior using dual lances. Under him, a golden skeleton dragon carried him and flew into the sky.

Gaia the Dragon Champion, Level 7, Wind Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 2600.

"Turned into a Dragon-Type? Heh, but the attack power is only 2600... next turn, I will summon myself..." The Light Emperor said indifferently.

"There is no next turn. Kreis." Tenjou Hikari snapped his fingers, "It's a pity—when 【Gaia the Dragon Champion】 is Fusion Summoned by Spiral Fusion, that monster's attack power increases by 2600 points—"

Gaia the Dragon Champion, ATK, 2600→5200.

Gaia's lance grew crazily, became thicker, mixed with a spiral storm that seemed to never stop, and was held in his hand!

"Ah—"

"By the way—since you hate being attacked by 【a mere 50 points】 so much, then I'll do it again. Pay 800 life points, activate Spell card, Re-Fusion, revive Prismaura in the graveyard."

Tenjou Hikari LP: 2400→1600.

One new and one old.

Maybe one old and one new.

But it doesn't matter.

"Prismaura attacks Thunder Monarch! Take revenge on the Monarch who bombed you before! Captain!"

Ha—

Crystal smiled and responded, then used his lance to pierce the Monarch who had bombed him with electric light before. Then, he turned around, looked at Gaia the Dragon Champion, and signaled Gaia with his head lightly.

"Finally—"

"Gaia!!!"

"I understand! Lord!!"

The dragon dragged Gaia to the sky. Under the dumbfounded eyes of all the watching spirits, the Long Qishi flew to the distant sky. His figure became more and more huge under the light, and finally even blocked the "sun." Then, Gaia combined the handles of the two lances in his hand, turned into a thicker double-headed lance, spun his body, turned into a gale, and fell straight from the distant sky towards the Light Emperor.

"Wait—wait—I am the Light Emperor, I am the natural Monarch!"

However, at this time, Gaia had turned into a rotating drill, fell from the sky, and stabbed the Light Emperor straight.

Sss—

On the Light Emperor's chest, a thick hole was directly poked out by Gaia!

Light Emperor LP: 3800→0.

All the servants and knights fell to their knees or fell backward in fear.

"Natural?" Gaia sneered at this the most.

"I was a superior monster by nature, however—I am now also a part of 【fusion】!"

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ah!!!"

The Light Emperor wanted to speak again, but no matter how hard he tried, it was in vain. In the struggle, he turned into a card and fell to the ground tilted.

"Won... won!?"

"Won! Long live the Great Lord!"

"Long live humans!!"

"Long live fusion!!"
