Chapter 47

The characteristic of Dark Fusion is that the monster cannot be destroyed by effects during the turn it is Fusion Summoned.

After noticing Captain Gold adding the card to his hand, Judai had already prepared himself in his heart.

He was no longer the same person he had been half a year ago. Having experienced dimensional travel, interacted with many classmates, witnessed the duels of Kaiser Ryo, Manjoume, Misawa, and Tenjou Hikari, and personally participated in several Shadow Games, he had gained a brand-new understanding of dueling.

He also remembered the effect of Dark Fusion very clearly.

If what comes next is Dark Fusion...

"Next, I Normal Summon Elemental HERO Stratos!" However, the Captain's next card left both duelists stunned.

"Stratos??"

"Stratos!"

Both of them were shocked in their own ways.

Judai was shocked because—he had never seen this card before.

Tenjou Hikari was shocked because—holy crap, Stratos! If you had three Stratos, who wouldn't want to be a hero?

"The effect of Elemental HERO Stratos: when this card is Summoned or Special Summoned, I can activate one of its two special abilities. I activate the second one to add one [HERO] card from my Deck to my hand.

I add the other me, Elemental HERO Captain Gold, to my hand."

"Eh eh eh?" Judai exclaimed subconsciously, "Such a powerful effect!?"

"Searching for any [HERO] at will, you can even search for Evil HEROes!"

"Heh..." Seeing Judai so amazed, Captain Gold finally couldn't help but let out a small laugh. Immediately after, he revealed another card, "Field Spell, Fusion Gate."

Amidst the towering skyscrapers, a massive black hole composed of a grid suddenly appeared.

"Skyscraper..." Winged Kuriboh pointed at the opponent with a laugh, "If it were a card effect, the Captain would have already destroyed it."

This remark inexplicably tickled Tenjou Hikari's funny bone.

Captain Gold's effect is that if there is no "Skyscraper" on the field, he will be destroyed directly. He is the type of person who "will die if he doesn't act cool."

Afterward, he immediately reacted: "Wait, no, Judai, [Evil HERO] Fusion Monsters must be Fusion Summoned using Dark Fusion, so—"

"Ah, right!" Judai realized belatedly.

"According to the effect of Fusion Gate, I fuse the Stratos on the field with myself in my hand."

"The Fusion condition is a monster with [Elemental HERO] in its name and a LIGHT-attribute monster."

"Fusion Summon! The hero who brings light—"

"Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman!"

The pure white, masked hero, arms crossed over his chest, slowly descended from the sky like the sun. Accompanied by a mechanical sound, a string of mechanical halos resembling sunlight slowly rose and appeared behind him, shining brilliantly like the Buddha's light behind gods and Buddhas in myths.

Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, Level 8, LIGHT, Warrior-type, ATK 2600.

"Phew... my Clay Guardian is still stronger."

"Judai, he has an effect," Tenjou Hikari reminded him from the side.

"Ah, right!" He suddenly woke up.

"Shining Flare Wingman's effect: this card's ATK increases by 300 for each of your [Elemental HERO] monsters that are banished."

"It's actually a similar effect to Shining Flare Wingman!" Judai then thought of another thing, "Come to think of it, the Fusion conditions are similar to Tornado... Ah, so that's how it is. Captain, you evolved brand-new power in the other dimension too!"

"That's right." Shining Flare Wingman in the Monster Zone crossed his arms, his posturing feeling exactly the same as Captain Gold's, "Battle, Shining Flare Wingman attacks, destroy Clay Guardian."

Golden light shone, and Clay Guardian shattered upon impact. Judai felt the incoming storm, braced himself with his hand, and then flipped his face-down card.

"Activate Trap Card, Hero Signal!"

"Can only be activated when a monster on your side of the field is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 [Elemental HERO] monster of Level 4 or lower from your hand or Deck!"

Judai didn't choose directly, but instead shouted, "Hikari, what monster do you want!"

"Anything is fine, but preferably a Normal Monster!"

"OK, then you come out, Avian!"

"Good!" Avian shouted and jumped onto the field from the sidelines.

"Oh?" Captain Gold paused slightly upon seeing this. Although he liked to act cool, he and Avian were ultimately spirits with two different personalities. After noticing Judai's tactics, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Because of his overly powerful "dark power" and a certain existence, Judai never had many friends to play with when he was a child. So, when he was young, it was always these "heroes" who accompanied him; they were his partners. He viewed his Deck as his friends, so when dueling, he mostly considered how he could cooperate with himself.

But now, he would actually take the initiative to consult his teammate. Clearly, he had changed.

Of course, it was also possible that the human named Hikari was strong enough—strong enough to make Judai willing to open his heart.

"Then, I set two cards and end my turn."

He set two cards.

Tenjou Hikari stroked his chin and looked at the golden evil god again: "So that's how it is."

?

The evil god was slightly confused, but he also learned from Captain Gold, crossing his arms and acting like an expert.

"Draw first." Tenjou Hikari drew a card, saying as he did so, "Captain Gold discarded himself once, searched for Dark Fusion, and then let Stratos get another copy of himself to perform a Fusion Summon.

Even though Dark Gaia is also a LIGHT-attribute card, why didn't he use Stratos to search for other more useful HERO cards?"

"The reason is simple: he wanted to leave one card for you, his teammate—Dark Fusion, right!"

The dozen golden eyes of the Golden Evil God drifted everywhere, and it let out a muffled sound: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Tenjou Hikari shook his head and then said, "Although it looks like there's no communication, the two of them are actually quite good at coordinating. Judai, be careful; it's not the same as that time with Gaia."

"Mm, I understand!"

Avian glared at Tenjou Hikari—this guy, hinting at me again!

"Then, my turn, Normal Summon, Ancient Gear Knight!" Next, Tenjou Hikari revealed another card, "Then, Spell Card, Fusion Substitute."

"This card allows a monster on the field to be treated as a monster with the same name as one in the Extra Deck when used as Fusion Material.

I choose Ancient Gear Knight on the field, and then reveal Metalfoes Fusion in the Extra Deck!"

"Spell Card, Metalfoes Fusion!"

Tenjou Hikari really didn't expect that one day he would activate the Fusion effect of this card.

"Oh! Is it my turn this time!" Metalfoes Fusion got excited.

Dueling two golden spirits in person!

"The Fusion condition is a monster with [Metalfoes] in its name and a Normal Monster!"

"Refine the ordinary into a universal object! An alchemical product that can dissolve all things, descend here!"

"Fusion Summon, Metalfoes Fusion!"

Metalfoes Fusion, Level 1, FIRE, Psychic-type, ATK 0, DEF 0.

Defense Position.

"Psychic-type?" Captain Gold loosened his hands in surprise.

"Level 1, ATK 0, DEF 0..." Seeing these familiar stats, the Golden Evil God couldn't help but unclench his hands, lean back, and then feel inexplicably panicked.

Especially seeing the eyes hidden under the red sunglasses of Metalfoes Fusion, looking like they were staring at a peerless beauty, cold sweat poured down even more.

"Activate the effect of Metalfoes Fusion; this card can only be activated if it's in the Graveyard. Shuffle this card from the Graveyard into the Deck. After that, draw a card... eh?"

Tenjou Hikari saw the card he drew and shrugged.

"Luck is not bad. Spell Card, Instant Fusion."

"Pay 1000 Life Points, Special Summon Thousand-Eyes Restrict."

Student team LP: 8000 -> 7000.

Seeing this familiar monster, Captain Gold pursed his lips and looked at his companion.

The Golden Evil God subconsciously wiped the sweat from the top of his head—

This guy, why does he keep doing what I want to do!
