Chapter 48

Seeing Shining Flare Wingman being absorbed by Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Captain Gold was not surprised; or rather, it seemed that such things were already a daily occurrence for him.

"Then, I set one card and end my turn."

"During the End Phase, Thousand-Eyes Restrict, which was Special Summoned by the effect of Instant Fusion, will be destroyed," Captain Gold said, "Shatter, fake evil god."

Boom—

Thousand-Eyes Restrict shattered upon impact. Tenjou Hikari didn't feel any regret, because it was just a temporary solution he drew; having one less monster on the field was more favorable for him.

"Then, at this moment, Shining Flare Wingman's effect activates." Captain Gold raised a finger, and as he spoke, a massive ball of light condensed in the sky, "When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, I can choose up to two of my own [Elemental HERO] monsters that are banished and add them to my hand.

I add the banished Stratos and myself to my hand."

"So amazing, in that case, couldn't he perform a Fusion Summon again next turn?" Judai looked at the information on the Duel Disk. Because Shining Flare Wingman had been absorbed by Thousand-Eyes Restrict earlier, he had the chance to see the effect directly. Looking at the effect written on it, he knew this Fusion Monster was definitely worth putting into his Deck, "And Stratos can be summoned again next turn to search for other HEROes!"

"Judai, it seems we have to find a way to get rid of the Field Spell."

"Mm!"

Tenjou Hikari knew about Shining Flare Wingman, but he could see that Captain Gold was intentionally "showing himself off" to Judai, and he didn't need to disturb their camaraderie in such a situation.

"Hehe, it's finally my turn." The Golden Evil God wiped the sweat from his forehead, drew a card, and then chuckled twice, "Draw card."

Generally speaking, the fourth person in a tag duel will more or less feel like they are in prison—either because the damage from the front is too high and it ends before they move a second time, or they just watch other players interact crazily while they can only play with their phones.

Although the card game hadn't started yet, the Golden Evil God felt this way more or less, so he chuckled twice to ease his mood.

Then.

"Hey, I summon myself. Golden Evil God."

"Oh oh oh!" Standing opposite, Metalfoes Fusion, who was covered in metal equipment but looked very much like a magician, shouted excitedly.

Golden Evil God, Level 1, DARK, Spellcaster-type, ATK 0.

Seeing Metalfoes so excited, the Golden Evil God couldn't help but rub his arms: "Activate my own effect."

"Once per turn, during either player's turn, I can activate this. Check all of the opponent's hand!"

"Eh eh eh, so despicable!" Judai exclaimed.

Tenjou Hikari, as if he had known this long ago, flipped over his remaining two cards and showed them to the opponent, saying as he did so: "Because it's a tag duel, at this moment, Judai is considered a backup duelist, so you can only look at my hand."

"Hmph hmph, it doesn't matter, anyway, when it's his turn, I can look too~~ Hehe." The Golden Evil God laughed very happily.

"Let me see... Hmm? Miracle Fusion and Parallel World Fusion?" The Golden Evil God was suddenly confused and exclaimed, "How come they are all Fusion?"

Except for Ancient Gear Knight, the remaining cards were all related to Fusion.

So that's it, is this the alchemist who "pursues Fusion" that His Majesty mentioned?

The Golden Evil God rubbed his round head.

Before passing through the teleportation channel created by that terrifying alchemist, the Golden Lord had told them a few things.

First, don't easily make contact with that alchemist; that is a terrifying alchemist, a strongest alchemist "at the pinnacle." Even compared to him, that alchemist is inferior, so don't provoke him if there's nothing to do.

Second, their mission this time is to challenge the alchemist's two students. Both students are young people he thinks highly of. Regardless of the outcome, they will not attack the two spirits, so duel boldly and with full strength. If the human side loses, it proves they are nothing more than that.

Third, if you feel the opponent's spirit and characteristics during the duel, following them is also fine.

After all, the two of them were carefully selected by the Golden Lord himself to match the opponent's duelist style.

No wonder His Majesty asked me to observe this human named Hikari carefully; changing card names and multiple Fusions—he is indeed a good alchemist.

But how far he can go depends on what happens next—

"My effect continues. At the end of this effect, my card name is treated as [Thousand-Eyes Evil God] until the End Phase." The Golden Evil God pointed at the phantom on the field and then flipped his face-down card, "Next, I flip my face-down card, Spell Card [Dark Fusion]!"

"This card is a Fusion Spell Card exclusively for Fiend-type monsters. I fuse Summoned Skull and Sheep Token from my hand, Fusion Summon, Summoned Skull appears!"

A bull-horned demon raised its hand, flashing with electric light, appearing from the darkness.

Summoned Skull, Level 6, DARK, Fiend-type, ATK 2500 -> 3000.

"When Summoned Skull is on the field, its card name is treated as [Summoned Skull], and the ATK of Summoned Skull monsters on the field increases by 500. Battle, Summoned Skull attacks—"

"Wait, at this moment!" Tenjou Hikari waved his hand, startling the Golden Evil God and almost making him curl into a ball.

"Activate Metalfoes Fusion's effect."

"Once per turn, during the opponent's turn, I can target 1 Effect Monster on the opponent's field. Equip that Effect Monster to this card as an Equip Card!"

"What!!!!" The Golden Evil God's dozens of eyes widened.

He's doing my thing again!

He's still doing my thing!

"Metalfoes, dissolve it!"

"Eh, although I really want to dissolve gold, in a duel, I can't be willful—" He waved the staff in his hand, and immediately Summoned Skull dissolved like liquid, flowing into his armor.

"According to Metalfoes' effect, his DEF increases by the ATK of the equipped monster."

Metalfoes DEF: 0 -> 2500.

"To be able to devour others during the opponent's turn..." Captain Gold finally couldn't help but interject, "He's even a bit stronger than you."

"Shut up!" the Evil God shouted irritably.

Tenjou Hikari couldn't help but chuckle.

This is the difference between OCG Dark Fusion and the Dark Fusion of this world. The effect of Dark Fusion in this world is that the Fusion Summoned monster cannot be destroyed that turn, while the OCG version is "cannot be targeted." If it were his own world, he really couldn't play like this.

"What about your Thousand-Eyes Restrict?" Captain Gold asked his companion in confusion.

"Don't rush!" The Golden Evil God retorted dissatisfiedly, "Field Spell, Fusion Gate's effect, fuse myself on the field with Relinquished in my hand."

"Fusion Summon, Thousand-Eyes Restrict!"

He originally wanted to use Summoned Skull to destroy Metalfoes directly, so he could preserve himself and peek at Judai's hand next turn, but he was directly absorbed by Metalfoes instead.

Thousand-Eyes Restrict, Level 1, DARK, Spellcaster-type, ATK 0.

"Eh, I won't activate my own effect, activate Thousand-Eyes Restrict's effect, devour Metalfoes."

You eat me, I eat you. This is dueling.

The Golden Evil God wiped the sweat from his forehead. In the end, he finally snatched "his own thing" back.

However, thinking that Metalfoes' ATK and DEF were also 0, and after eating him, Thousand-Eyes Restrict's stats didn't change, the Golden Evil God couldn't laugh.
