Chapter 435: Fusing Each Other's Power (7k, begging for monthly tickets)

"My turn."

Tiancheng Guang drew a card and saw Ancient Gear Fusion.

The appearance of this card was also within his expectations.

Devil in the first turn, Ultimate Golem in the second turn, is his common strategy when playing Ancient Gear decks.

But it definitely won't work now.

He looked at the card in his hand.

"Activate the effect of Metalfoes Fusion in the Graveyard."

"Oh?"

"Return Metalfoes Fusion to the deck, shuffle the deck, and then draw a card."

So it's a card for drawing cards.

Tiancheng Guang looked at the card in his hand again.

Mmm...

"Activate Spell Card, Ancient Gear Fusion!" He looked at the field and said, "This card can use the Ancient Gear Golem on the field and cards in the deck for fusion, Fusion Summon an Ancient Gear Fusion Monster.

I fuse the Ancient Gear Golem on the field and the Ancient Gear Beast and Ancient Gear Synthetic Beast in the deck, Fusion Summon, Level 10, Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem!"

Countless mechanical parts gathered from afar, the ancient robot began to frantically add one piece of equipment after another, and finally, it turned into a brand new posture.

Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem, Level 10, Earth Attribute, Machine-Type, Attack: 4400, Defense: 3400.

Ultimate Golem, ATK: 4400 -> 1000.

"Hiss... the attack power of the Ultimate Golem, which was over four thousand, suddenly became only a little over 1000."

"That Big Truck is so powerful."

When the Big Truck appeared before, the audience was still thinking that this 2100 attack power wasn't high.

Now it seems that this 2100 is actually already very high!

Any higher, and normal monsters simply couldn't break it!

However, Tiancheng Guang also had a normal method to destroy it by battle.

But compared to destroying it, Tiancheng Guang's personal tendency was to use other means to deal with it.

Because when the Fossil Fusion Monster on the field is destroyed by battle or effect, the Fossil Fusion in the Graveyard can return to the hand.

Although he didn't know if there was still Fossil Fusion in Jim's Graveyard, if he could, he would definitely still tend to deal with it rather than destroy it.

Since that's the case, let's take a look first.

"Normal Summon, Golden Cult God."

Golden Cult God hugged his arms, showing off, and slowly appeared.

It had long been posing, just waiting for Tiancheng Guang to summon it.

Ever since it was summoned once after returning from the Magic Academy last time, it had been looking forward to whether it could appear again in the future. Sure enough, it appeared in the hands of Lord Hikari this time, and Lord Hikari really used it.

It was not in vain that it posed for so long.

Golden Cult God, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, Attack: 0.

"Wow, it's Golden Cult God."

"Is he going to summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict?"

"So cool, that's the trump card of Mr. Pegasus in the legend!"

Tiancheng Guang really thought so.

But before that, he still had to see what Jim had in his hand.

"Activate the effect of Golden Cult God: once per turn, look at the opponent's hand. This card's name is treated as Thousand-Eyes Cult God until the end of the turn."

Jim had already guessed what Tiancheng Guang wanted to do, but he didn't mind, showing the two cards in his hand. At the same time, the huge 3D image of the entire duel arena also displayed the two cards for all the audience to see.

"Fossil Fusion and Burial from a Different Dimension?" Tiancheng Guang looked and frowned slightly.

Sure enough, there was Fossil Fusion.

However—

Even so, Tiancheng Guang didn't want to let Jim return a Fossil Fusion for nothing.

"Activate Spell Card, Fusion!" Tiancheng Guang gently showed the card in his hand. "Fuse the Thousand-Eyes Cult God on the field and the Restrict in my hand, Special Summon, Level 1 Fusion Monster, Thousand-Eyes Restrict!"

The Cult God slowly turned black, his body began to tear, gradually becoming distorted, turning into a dark evil god.

Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, Attack: 0.

"Oh oh oh!! Perfect!" Ansel cheered excitedly in the resurrection tournament team. "It's the President's card!"

Although Tiancheng Guang really wanted to win using the Professor's card, this Big Truck was indeed a bit unfriendly to Ancient Gear monsters.

But it should be fine.

At least let the Professor's card participate.

"Activate Golden Cult God effect! When this card is banished or sent to the Graveyard by an effect, target one Effect Monster on the opponent's field, equip that card to a 【Restrict】 monster on the field that cannot be Normal Summoned, and the equipped monster's attack power increases by that value. Swallow the Skull Big Truck, use it as an Equip Card, and increase its attack power!"

Thousand-Eyes Restrict aimed at the Skull-type Otherworld Traveler, the eyes on its body emitted purple light, the eyes in the dinosaur head of the Big Truck were charmed by the purple light, and then it flew over wobblily. Although this way it couldn't avoid being destroyed by battle, he could consider using the effect of Thousand-Eyes Restrict next turn to swallow another monster.

Thousand-Eyes Restrict, ATK: 0 -> 2100.

"Battle, Thousand-Eyes Restrict attacks directly!"

"Oh, wait—at this moment, I activate the Trap Card, Threatening Roar!" Jim gently lifted his hat and said casually from the side, "This turn, the opponent cannot declare an attack."

Roar————

A phantom of a lion appeared on the field and roared, ending the battle.

"So that's how it is, it's a card that even Ancient Gear series monsters can't stop." Tiancheng Guang nodded.

He thought it was Sakuretsu Armor!

In the original work, Jim really used Sakuretsu Armor. He was thinking that even if Jim covered Sakuretsu Armor, he probably wouldn't dare to use it. After all, if he used it, Thousand-Eyes Cult God would be destroyed, and then he could win with Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem.

That would be quite handsome as a finishing blow.

Moreover, if he didn't use it and prepared to take the damage, Tiancheng Guang also wanted to use the Aleister in his hand to secretly finish him off.

It's a pity, the little trick didn't work.

Tiancheng Guang pondered for a while, and after confirming there was no problem, he ended the turn.

"My turn! Draw card!" Jim drew the card and glanced at it.

"Spell Card, Pot of Greed." He activated it immediately and drew two cards.

The first one.

Monster Reborn.

His eyes lit up slightly.

The next one—

It's here!!

He looked at that exaggerated card, his pupils contracted sharply.

"Alright, Tiancheng, it seems, it's going to end!"

"Oh? Could it be, you drew that 【super strong card】 you spoke of?"

"That's right!" Jim smiled gently. "With this card, perhaps, we can show more interesting things—fusion is a duel of understanding each other and becoming friends with the other party!"

Really, really?

Tiancheng Guang didn't expect Jim to say that.

In the original work, Jim was a person who would go through fire and water for his friends. Seeing Jūdai fall into Lord Ba Wang and close his heart, he was even willing to risk his life to use the Eye of Orichalcos to wake Jūdai up.

Although he failed in the end, he still entrusted the Eye of Orichalcos to Obelisk before he died, hoping that he could use it to save Jūdai. As for himself, he didn't care even if he died.

So, it was normal for him to say such things.

It was just unexpected that he hadn't spoken much with Jim and hadn't known him for long, but because he had helped Jūdai, Jim trusted him so much.

"Activate Spell Card, Burial from a Different Dimension. This card can return up to three banished monsters of your/opponent's to the Graveyard. Return all three banished fossil monsters to the Graveyard."

"Then, activate Fossil Fusion!" On Jim's field, the huge fossil slate slowly floated up, and on Tiancheng Guang's field, the mechanical sound was also endless.

"I remember, Ultimate Golem has the effect of reviving an Ancient Gear Golem in the Graveyard when it is destroyed, right? Then, let's use Ancient Gear Golem as fusion material for Fusion Summon!"

"Ha, this doesn't look like 【Fusion of Friendship】!"

"Friendship is friendship, but the competition still has to be decided—activate the effect of Fossil Fusion, banish the Fire Rock Wall Dragon in my Graveyard and the Ancient Gear Golem Level 7 or higher in your Graveyard, Fusion Summon!"

"Huge dinosaur of the Paleozoic Era!"

"Turn into the power to guard the earth, appear!"

"Paleozoic Fossil Dragon Skull Demon Slayer Dragon!"

A genuine dinosaur fossil swung its long fossil tail and roared onto the stage.

Paleozoic Fossil Dragon Skull Demon Slayer Dragon, Level 8, Earth Attribute, Rock-Type, Attack: 3500.

"Attack power 3500?"

"It is indeed higher than Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but whether it's Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem or Thousand-Eyes Restrict, they can't be dealt with, right?"

The audience was puzzled.

"Indeed, just as they said, Paleozoic Fossil Dragon simply has no way to deal with Thousand-Eyes Restrict." Sanze Dadi nodded in the designated seat. "Thousand-Eyes Restrict has the ability to lock the attack and display form of all other monsters on the field."

"Yes, if there is no way to deal with Thousand-Eyes Restrict, it can't attack at all." Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu also nodded.

The summoning of this Skull Demon Slayer Dragon really made them confused.

"Then, Spell Card, Monster Reborn—"

"Eh?" "Monster Reborn?" "Is this... right?"

Now, let alone the audience, even the group in the designated seats were dumbfounded.

Who can Monster Reborn revive?

Ancient Gear monsters, but their attack power is just like that. Not to mention that Ancient Gear cannot be Special Summoned. Even if it could, it couldn't deal with Thousand-Eyes Restrict.

"You wouldn't be thinking of reviving Ancient Gear Devil, would you?" Tiancheng Guang thought of a possibility and couldn't help but ask.

"Haha—that's right, what I want to revive is your Ancient Gear Devil!"

Unlike Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem, which can only be Fusion Summoned, Ancient Gear Devil can be revived using cards like Monster Reborn.

"Oh! Indeed, Ancient Gear Devil is unaffected by other effects and can attack..." Sanze Dadi suddenly realized.

"However, its attack power is only 1000!" Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu shook his head. "Even if Thousand-Eyes Restrict's attack power isn't high, it's at least 2100."

Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu then hesitated and said: "Perhaps... he has other ideas that we don't know yet?"

"Tiancheng Guang, what is he doing?" Even Tiera couldn't help but be curious and asked Tiancheng Guang from the side.

Tiancheng Guang touched his chin, pondered, and suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that thing?"

"Now, everything is ready, Student Tiancheng!" Jim had excitement on his face. He held a card in his hand and looked at it with one eye. "For you, dueling is fusion, but for me, dueling is not just fusion—so sorry, you might be the strongest fusion user, but I want to be a stronger duelist.

I want to use a stronger card to embrace a more beautiful earth—

Offer the two monsters on the field as sacrifices!"

Tiancheng Guang gasped.

"Eh?" "What is this doing?"

A group of people also exclaimed.

Suddenly, in the sky, a touch of starlight actually replaced the sunlight, even in this Spirit World, it appeared very beautiful and mysterious.

"Awoo!!!" Crocodile Karen saw Jim finally summon this monster and couldn't help but howl, looking very excited.

"Tribute Summon, Tyrant Neptune!"

Holy crap—

Accompanied by Jim's shout, the starlight descended, and a humanoid crocodile slowly appeared.

He wore silver-white armor, held a terrifying and sharp giant scythe in both hands, and his eyes glowed with golden light, looking like a demon in the darkness.

Tyrant Neptune, Level 10, Water Attribute, Reptile-Type, Attack: 0.

"Tyrant Neptune?"

"Never heard of this card."

"And the attack power is 0..."

A group of audience members had never heard of this thing.

"Eh, Neptune?" Jūdai said in surprise in front of the big screen. "Tyrant Neptune, it sounds quite like Earth Hero."

Can this monster change the situation?

Tiancheng Guang sweated slightly.

It really is a 【super strong card】.

And it really is Jim's card—

"The attack/defense of Tyrant Neptune is the sum of the monsters offered as tributes."

Tyrant Neptune, ATK: 0 -> 4500.

"Wow! It's equivalent to Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon—"

"However, it still can't attack, right? What's the use of attack power exceeding Ultimate Golem?"

"Awoo—" Beside him, Karen had already climbed onto Jim's body. Behind his back, she raised her claws, howling, shouting to the stage, looking very excited.

"Ah, no need to rush, Karen, I'll say it right away."

Jim smiled softly.

Karen seemed to like this card very much—because Jim usually used Fossil decks, which were more of the cards he personally liked, but this Neptune, not only did Jim like it, but even Karen, this crocodile, liked it very much.

After all, Tyrant Neptune is also a crocodile!

"The effect of Tyrant Neptune: when this card is Tribute Summoned, select 1 Effect Monster released in the Graveyard, use it as that monster's name, and gain the same effect!"

Jim pointed to Tiancheng Guang's Graveyard: "This effect can even choose your Graveyard."

Tiancheng Guang frowned and nodded.

That is indeed the case.

"So, I want to gain the effect of Ancient Gear Devil!"

Tyrant Neptune -> Ancient Gear Devil.

"Wow!"

"Oh!!!"

Several duelists in the designated seats suddenly realized.

That is to say—

Tyrant Neptune has become an ultimate monster with 4500 attack power, unaffected by other card effects, and can inflict 1000 damage to the opponent once per turn???

"More importantly—Tyrant Neptune, which is unaffected by other card effects, can attack!" Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu stood up in shock.

Jim hadn't finished his operation yet and opened the Graveyard: "Just in case, then activate the effect of Time Stream in the Graveyard, banish it from the Graveyard and a Fossil Fusion Monster. You can Special Summon a Fossil Fusion Monster from the Graveyard. This effect cannot be activated in the turn this card is sent to the Graveyard.

I banish the New Generation Fossil Knight in the Graveyard and revive the Paleozoic Fossil Dragon in the Graveyard!"

"Awoo!!!"

"Battle!" Jim became excited and pointed to Thousand-Eyes Restrict on the field. "Use Tyrant Neptune to attack!

Although Thousand-Eyes Restrict can lock the attacks of monsters on the field, but—Tyrant Neptune absorbed the effect of your monster, so it can attack!"

"Oh no!"

Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu stood up with a "swoosh": "If this attack passes, Tiancheng will lose!"

Although it will only suffer 2400 points of Life Point damage, Tiancheng Guang's life is only 3000. After the battle ends, as long as Tyrant Neptune activates its effect, Tiancheng Guang will lose immediately!

Because there is no way to stop Tyrant Neptune—

"At this moment, I activate the effect of Summoner Aleister in my hand, discard it, and can increase the attack and defense of a Fusion Monster on the field by 1000 points!"

Tiancheng Guang hurriedly sent the card in his hand to the Graveyard.

Thousand-Eyes Restrict, ATK: 2100 -> 3100.

However—

It's still not enough!

Tyrant Neptune swung its huge scythe and smashed the Evil God into pieces with a "bang"!

Tiancheng Guang LP: 3000 -> 1600.

"Ha, as expected—" Jim's mouth curled up. "Fortunately, I revived the Demon Slayer Dragon. If I didn't Fusion Summon, you would only need to recover that Aleister next turn, and you could use Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem to destroy Neptune by battle.

But, it won't work now—Demon Slayer Dragon attacks Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem!"

"What?"

"The attack power is clearly higher for Ultimate Golem!"

"Naive!" Jim shouted, "The effect of Skull Demon Slayer Dragon: activate before damage calculation when this card battles an opponent's monster. The attack and defense of that monster are swapped until the end of the turn!"

"The defense power of Ultimate Golem is 3400!" Sanze immediately reported the number.

"That is to say, it's lower than Demon Slayer Dragon?" The other players watching the battle exclaimed.

Ancient Gear Ultimate Golem, ATK: 4400 -> 3400.

Demon Slayer Dragon bit into the waist of the Ultimate Golem, tore it apart, and turned it into two sections.

Tiancheng Guang LP: 1600 -> 1500.

"Main Phase 2, activate the effect of Tyrant Neptune, inflict 1000 damage to the opponent!"

Tyrant Neptune's eyes glowed with blood, aiming at Tiancheng Guang. Tiancheng Guang only felt a dizzy spell in his brain, and the familiar feeling actually appeared once again.

The power of Darkness!?

He covered his waist, feeling slightly painful.

He raised his head and looked at Tyrant Neptune and Jim.

No, it's just a slight residue. This card seems to be sealed—and the power of the seal is the power of Darkness.

He hadn't sorted out the cause and effect for a while.

"End of turn." Jim breathed a sigh of relief.

Tiancheng Guang gently rubbed his eyebrows and then stood up.

"Only 500 Life Points left."

"If there is no way to solve Neptune this turn, next turn, Tiancheng will lose!"

"The Fusion User lost to another person who uses fusion?"

"Didn't you hear that person say, Tiancheng Guang is the strongest fusion user, he just uses fusion. After all, look, his trump card is not a Fusion Monster at all!"

Some audience members couldn't help but argue.

In the designated seats, several of Tiancheng Guang's friends couldn't help but worry for him.

Jūdai and others watching the duel live exclaimed.

Jim is so powerful?

"Hmm... my turn." Tiancheng Guang drew a card.

He thought about it in his mind and couldn't help but sigh: "I originally wanted to let everyone know more about Professor Dadesi in this duel."

The Professor watching the live broadcast was teary-eyed, constantly chanting Tiancheng Guang's name, and some teachers watching together also looked at his back with envy.

"Is that so?" Jim responded. "Sorry, but I think he shouldn't mind."

"It is precisely because he doesn't mind that I want to show the Ancient Gear deck, hoping that everyone can understand that Ancient Gear is not a sinful deck." Tiancheng Guang rubbed his hair. "But I think he would even less want me to lose because of this kind of thing. So, I can't let him down or let him think that it was him who caused me to lose.

So—Jim, I am going to use what you said to strike back at you."

What I said?

Jim was a bit puzzled.

"Activate Spell Card, Fusion Conscription! Show 1 Fusion Monster in the Extra Deck to the opponent, and Special Summon 1 fusion material monster described by that monster's card name from the Extra Deck/Graveyard! The monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack until the end of the opponent's turn, and its effect is negated!"

The images of Flame Swordsman and Black Flame Knight floated across the entire duel arena.

Seeing this familiar image, everyone who supported Tiancheng Guang suddenly felt much more relaxed.

This is the safety and confidence given to them by Flame Swordsman and Tiancheng Guang.

"I show Invoked Mechaba, revive Aleister in the Graveyard!"

Summoner Aleister, Level 4, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, Attack: 1000.

"Then, Normal Summon—Predaplant Sundew Kingzard!"

Predaplant Sundew Kingzard, Level 2, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, Attack: 600.

"What's the use of these two monsters?"

"Uh, you ask me, how would I know."

"Ah, it's a Dark Attribute monster!" Sanze Dadi recognized it.

"What?" Wan Wan Wan Zhangmu asked in confusion.

"Activate the effect of Sundew Kingzard!"

"During your Main Phase, it can fuse with monsters in your hand/field to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster!"

"The fusion condition is two Dark Attribute monsters other than tokens on the field."

"Great wings pursuing fusion, now, wave everything, and embrace all 【Fusion】!"

"Fusion Summon, my wings!"

"Level 8—"

"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"

The strange yet beautiful giant dragon vibrated its purple wings, slowly and gracefully emerging behind Tiancheng Guang.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack: 2800, Defense: 2000.

"Wooo—" This time, the Fusion Dragon shouted louder and brighter than ever before.

"Starving Venom... 【Fusion】 Dragon?" Jim blinked, stunned.

"Wow, a dragon with 【Fusion】 in its name!"

"It's a Fusion Monster called Fusion!"

"So, so handsome—"

Although it looked fierce, under Tiancheng Guang's control, it appeared very bright and holy.

"When Fusion Dragon is successfully Fusion Summoned, activate. Select 1 Special Summoned monster on the opponent's field, and this card's attack power increases by that monster's attack power until the end of the turn."

Tiancheng Guang pointed to Demon Slayer Dragon: "I choose Demon Slayer Dragon!"

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, ATK: 2800 -> 6300.

"Attack power, exceeded Neptune!"

"And, this effect, doesn't that mean as long as it's a Fusion Monster, it will definitely have higher attack power than the opponent!?"

Some familiar people mentioned another effect of Fusion Dragon—when this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed, activate. Destroy all Special Summoned monsters on the opponent's field.

"But it's useless, right? Not to mention Neptune is a Tribute Summoned monster, even with 6300 attack power, there's no way, right? After all, attacking the Tyrant would only deal 1800 damage at most. Next turn, Demon Slayer Dragon attacks Fusion Dragon, 3500 hits 2000, Tiancheng Guang will lose!"

That's right—

Many people suddenly realized.

"... Those are just a part of Fusion Dragon's performance." Tiancheng Guang shook his hand softly. "Activate the monster effect of Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"

Eh?!

It still has an effect!!??

"Once per turn, target 1 monster Level 5 or higher on the opponent's field. Until the end of the turn, this card gains the same card name and effect as that monster!"

"What!" Jim was shocked. "This isn't the same effect as Tyrant Neptune."

"That's right! This is the power of Fusion Dragon!" Tiancheng Guang looked at Demon Slayer Dragon and smiled. "Jim, it seems just like you said, for you, this duel is not just a duel, but a fusion of friendship—

That's right, the fusion of friendship is also a part of fusion!

Just like you fuse the monsters in our Graveyard! Copying the effect of my Fusion Monster!"

"Activate the effect of Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, gain the effect of Skull Demon Slayer Dragon!"

"Universal Fusion!"

Fusion Dragon spread its wings, countless purple lines covered Demon Slayer Dragon, and then recovered the power.

Oh no!

Jim was shocked.

Starving Venom Fusion Dragon -> Paleozoic Fossil Dragon Skull Demon Slayer Dragon.

"Battle, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon attacks Tyrant Neptune!"

"Eh! Wait, Tiancheng Guang, why—" Tiera was the first to question.

Isn't it better to attack that Demon Slayer Dragon!?

Don't you have the effect of reversing its attack power? That Demon Slayer Dragon has 0 defense power!

Not only him, but the watching audience and the duelists in the designated seats also expressed the same doubt.

And the reason for doing this was only known to Jim, whose effect was copied, and Tiancheng Guang, who was attacking: "It is precisely because I attack Neptune that I can respond to Jim—respond to your words about fusing each other's friendship and each other's power! Let's go, Jim! The effect of Skull Demon Slayer Dragon: when this Fusion Summoned card battles an opponent's monster, the battle damage dealt is doubled!"

"Although your Demon Slayer Dragon was Special Summoned by a Spell Card, but—my Fusion Dragon is Fusion Summoned!" Tiancheng Guang clenched his fist excitedly.

"So, Fusion Dragon attacks your Neptune, and will deal double damage!"

Jim gently covered his hat and nodded slowly: "Amazing, you actually even knew this effect."

"Attack, Fusion Dragon—Fusion Ruin Light Stream!"

Fusion Dragon spread its huge purple light wings and let out an excited cry.

Countless purple light rays shot out from its wings, landed on Tyrant Neptune, and pierced through it.

Jim, LP: 2400 -> 0.
