Chapter 297

The duel began, both sides drew cards, Construct drew cards in a standard way, totaling five cards.

And on the opposite side, Tiera snapped her fingers again.

They saw blue invisible flames rising on the deck, five cards, under the wrapping of the flames, lined up into a long flame snake, flew into the air, and then lined up in a row, in front of her.

This also allowed Tenjou Hikari to see her hand without getting too close.

Wow.

This hand, don't say, it's quite strong.

Tenjou Hikari looked at it and nodded continuously.

"My turn, draw." Construct drew a card from the deck. "Normal Summon, Shaddoll Falcon."

The purple mechanical falcon appeared on the field under its control.

Shaddoll Falcon, Level 2, DARK, Spellcaster-type, ATK 600.

"Equip Spell Card, Reshaddoll Incarnation." Immediately after, it took out a Spell Card from its hand and put it into the duel disk turned into strings.

The card art of that card was the scene of Winda being included in the sephira.

"This card can be equipped to a Shaddoll monster. Equip it to Falcon."

"Next, activate its two effects in order."

It raised its right hand and held up two fingers: "The first effect, declare an attribute, change the attribute of the equipped monster. Declare, LIGHT.

The second effect, use monsters in the hand/field, including the equipped monster, as Fusion Materials to perform a Fusion Summon of a Shaddoll monster."

"I send Shaddoll Lizard in my hand and Shaddoll Falcon on the field to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon—myself."

The classic summoning of itself.

Construct's figure, under the pull of the puppet strings, was pulled from the duelist's position to the front.

El Shaddoll Construct, Level 8, LIGHT, Fairy-type, ATK 2800.

"Construct..."

Tiera looked up at Construct, which appeared on the battlefield, and watched silently.

"My effect, Falcon's effect, Lizard's effect activate."

"We all possess the special ability to activate effects if sent to the Graveyard." This time, it raised three fingers: "Lizard's effect, send a Shaddoll card other than 【Shaddoll Lizard】 from the deck to the Graveyard. I choose, Shaddoll Core.

Falcon gets the effect, Special Summon in face-down Defense Position on the field.

And my special ability—if I am summoned. I can send a Shaddoll card from the deck to the Graveyard. I choose, El Shaddoll Fusion."

She operated the card with this.

The purple gem was lifted from the Graveyard by puppet strings, fell beside it, and turned into a face-down card, while on the other side, the two cards in the deck were sent to the Graveyard.

"It's not over yet." Construct didn't stop its movements.

It waved its left hand forward: "Activate the effect of Shaddoll Core sent to the Graveyard. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, recover a Shaddoll Spell/Trap card from the Graveyard.

Recover, El Shaddoll Fusion."

Tenjou Hikari rubbed his chin.

A very standard classic opening.

But back and forth, the cards were almost not consumed, and this was the characteristic of Shaddoll.

"I set one card and end my turn."

Then, there was no need to consider what the set card was.

Obviously, it was a Quick-Play Spell, El Shaddoll Fusion.

Tiera looked at Construct for a long time.

"El Shaddoll Fusion..." Tiera read the name of the card in a low voice.

"Do you know what that card represents?"

"This is a Spell Card that our Shaddoll clan is proud of, and it is the result of our warriors' practice." Construct didn't hide the information and said generously, "Only high-level warriors have the opportunity to obtain this kind of powerful card through practice.

Unknown spirit, no matter where you come from, stealing the face of our leader is a sin, and I will not show mercy."

Tiera didn't feel angry because of words like showing mercy, but shook her head and continued to ask: "Could it be that you have never thought about who that 【God】 is?"

"Why is it called 【El Shaddoll Fusion】? Have you never thought about it?"

This is a good question.

Because of this question, Construct was suddenly stumped.

The... name of the card?

Does this have any meaning?

Tiera lowered her head and rubbed her eyebrows gently.

"Stupid mortal spirit, useless broken machine." Tiera muttered in a low voice.

As a Creator Star God, as a true god who once created a world ecosystem, Tiera actually didn't have so-called "feelings" for mortal creatures, and in fact, she even wanted to destroy all life and then restart the cycle.

But—

Shaddoll was manufactured by her own hands.

This "virus" that can infect other dead spirits and let them live again was carefully manufactured by her.

When the world changed drastically, when she realized that even the creatures she hated and despised had completely dissipated, and even the stories hadn't been left behind, and only "cards" could barely leave a word or two, she naturally felt "lonely" too.

It's just that she is a god.

She can ignore this emotion, and she doesn't need to care about these things.

But when one after another familiar but different existences, wearing her familiar appearance, did things that didn't conform to her impression, she would feel absurd and uncomfortable.

However...

Because of Bai Shi's matter, she could already accept it.

But even so, she was still a bit dazed.

She looked at her hand.

Originally, her helping Tenjou Hikari find the "DT Spirit World" was just to let Tenjou Hikari help her manufacture more body components, but now, she suddenly had a brand new idea.

No—

Or rather.

Her "sense of duty" as a god emerged again.

Just like when Sophia woke up and found that the ground was full of life and natural environments that didn't meet her expectations, so she wanted to restart the ecosystem.

When she found that the "DT Spirit World" might be completely different from what she imagined, her instinct told her that she couldn't just ignore it like this.

Since the world has changed drastically.

Since "swords" are no longer the "mainstream."

Then she, this Creator Star God, must also make different changes.

It's just—

What never changes is her existence, her philosophy.

That's right, from the current situation, these spirits are indeed not the same thing as the existences in her memory.

However, these spirits are definitely not completely unrelated to her!

No matter what, these spirits are also lives born from legends, creatures derived from her stories, so how could they be unrelated to her?

"I've decided, Tenjou Hikari, from now on you will accompany me into the DT Spirit World to see the quality of the leaders of those spirit clans!" She declared this.

Tenjou Hikari didn't know what Tiera was thinking, but since she said so, Tenjou Hikari didn't care.

Anyway, it's not him coming.

And this can also collect cards, save effort, and by the way, improve Tiera's actual combat, a triple win.

"Draw." Tiera raised her right hand slightly, and the cards flew out of the deck automatically, floating in the air.

The opponent is a warrior of a certain clan in the Spirit World, at least a "guard."

According to Tiera's calculation, in terms of spirit level, it should be about the same as the current Bai Shi—maybe even stronger than Bai Shi.

A Level 7 spirit, a level stronger than the vast majority of spirits.

As the opponent for the first duel with such a spirit, to be honest, she felt inexplicably a bit of pressure.

After all, she really didn't understand dueling too much.

She looked at Tenjou Hikari.

Hmm...

Then, she shook her head.

You can't ask Tenjou Hikari at this time.
