Chapter 496: God and Slave! (7k, please vote for monthly tickets!!)

Fusion Destruction, a Continuous Spell card that locks down 【Fusion】.

Besides being able to banish three Fusions, this card has a relatively powerful effect: it can negate 【Fusion】 Spell/Trap cards without limit and then inflict damage to the opponent.

Normally, to bypass this effect, one must first use a Spell card, then follow up with a Quick-Play Spell Fusion when the first is negated by a chain, in order to dodge the effect and perform a Fusion Summon.

However, this is not a difficult problem for Tenjou Hikari.

Because although this card can negate Spell/Trap cards with "Fusion" in their name without limit, there are plenty of Fusion Spells and Fusion Traps that do not have "Fusion" in their name.

For example, Tenjou Hikari's "Trump Card," the card he only uses when truly going all out—Flame Sword Domain.

That card can perform Fusion, and it is not a Continuous Spell card containing 【Fusion】.

Using that tactic, one can still perform a Fusion Summon.

But—

On this point, Li Luo Si has also considered it. Since "Fusion" is restricted, one must consider Tenjou Hikari's other two options—

Cards similar to "Branded Fusion" that can prevent Fusion cards from being negated, and cards similar to "Flame Sword Domain" that can perform continuous Fusion Summons multiple times.

Therefore—

"Normal Summon, Magical Reflect Slime - Assault Mode!"

Hm?

Tenjou Hikari twitched his eyebrows slightly.

Oh—

So it's a Reflect Slime.

A snake-like robot equipped with honeycomb machine guns hovered on the field.

Magical Reflect Slime - Assault Mode, Level 3, Dark Attribute, Machine-Type, ATK 1200.

"Finally, set one card, end turn."

Fen Ge set the card triumphantly, his confidence overflowing.

Magical Reflect Slime can destroy a Spell card when the opponent activates one, then inflict 800 points of damage to the opponent.

As a disruption, although this card isn't very strong, it has its own merits.

As a monster to disrupt Tenjou Hikari, it is just right.

"How about it, Tenjou Hikari? This is the welcome tactic I prepared for you!" Li Luo Si crossed his arms and smiled.

"My turn, draw card." Tenjou Hikari glanced at the card in his hand, "Honestly, I'm already a bit tired of this."

"?" A look of confusion appeared on Li Luo Si's face.

"You Fusion Sect members clearly call yourselves the Fusion Sect, yet you always use tactics targeting Fusion to duel me..." Tenjou Hikari looked at the monster in his hand, casually took one out, and placed it on the Duel Disk.

"Restricting Fusion Summons, restricting the Extra Deck, destroying Fusion, or using No. monsters... clearly being the so-called Fusion Sect, yet you don't even have the courage to face me head-on with Fusion monsters."

"Tenjou Hikari—" Li Luo Si gritted his teeth.

"Normal Summon, Predaplant Sundew Kingii."

"Tsk..." Seeing this card, a look of expected embarrassment appeared on Li Luo Si's face.

In his set of tactics, there was only one type of Fusion that Tenjou Hikari could use to bypass all the lockdowns, and that was—using monsters to perform Fusion.

Predaplant Sundew Kingii, Level 2, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, ATK 600.

"Surprised?" Tenjou Hikari said casually, "But you should have been able to fully anticipate this scene."

"Hmph, as a soldier of the Professor, I had already thought of this point, I just didn't expect you to have drawn it just right..."

"Just right?" Tenjou Hikari sneered, "Stupid, ridiculous, and you still dare to brag about wisdom and talk about tactics here?

Can't 【Fusion Destruction】 view all the cards in my deck?

When you saw that my deck had Predaplants but didn't have Sundew Kingii, shouldn't you have thought of this point?"

Ugh!!

Li Luo Si was instantly choked speechless by Tenjou Hikari's words.

"Sundew Kingii's effect, Main Phase, this card can perform a Dark Attribute Fusion Summon with monsters on the field or in the hand.

I fuse the Sundew Kingii on the field with the Destiny HERO - Drawhand in my hand."

"Fusion Summon!"

"Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"

Predaplant Chimerafflesia, Level 7, Dark Attribute, Plant-Type, ATK 2500.

The heroic flower that had once fought the Ultimate Dragon surged through the sand, struggling to crawl out from it.

"Tsk... that damn flower." Li Luo Si immediately had a headache.

"Predaplant Chimerafflesia's effect—once per turn, target 1 monster on the field with a level less than or equal to this card's level. Banish that monster!"

Tenjou Hikari pointed at Magical Reflect Slime.

"Magical Reflect Slime and your Continuous Spell card can only affect Spells or Traps; monster effects cannot be countered! Be banished, Magical Reflect Slime!"

Chimerafflesia grabbed the snake-like robot and swallowed it whole in one gulp.

"Tch..." Seeing this scene, Fen Ge snorted coldly.

Just say the Otherworlder's tactics are unreliable; didn't Tenjou Hikari solve the field with just one card?

"Enter Battle Phase!"

"Tch, in the end, I still have to use my own tactics—activate Trap card, Big Bang!"

Chimerafflesia was just about to attack directly when its body suddenly expanded, its branches and flower buds began to twitch, and finally, its roots became thick but difficult to move.

"Target 1 monster on the opponent's field. That monster's ATK and DEF become double, and it cannot attack directly."

Predaplant Chimerafflesia, ATK: 2500 → 5000.

Now it's even higher than Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

"Actually increasing the opponent's monster's ATK to 5000? What is Count Fen Ge thinking?"

"Who knows, the thoughts of nobles, who knows. Maybe he enjoys the feeling of being stared at by a monster with higher ATK."

That's right, this effect only doubles the monster's ATK, but it doesn't restrict the monster from attacking monsters.

Many Security officers also expressed their dissatisfaction.

In this dimension, duelists of different levels also have different levels of treatment.

Just like in the F Dimension, at Duel Academy, ordinary students also have no way to get powerful cards, so the Fusion Sect only needed a set of Ancient Gear structure decks to recruit hundreds of freshmen at the beginning.

In this dimension, "powerful" and "rare" cards are monopolized by the Upper City people; duelists here either use some mediocre cards, or like Yusei, physically pick up trash to assemble a deck, otherwise, the only way is to defect to the Upper City area to obtain cards.

Many Security officers actually became Security officers because of this reason.

"Set one card, end turn."

"My turn, draw card—" Fen Ge casually drew a card.

"At this moment, activate Destiny HERO - Drawhand's effect. If this card is sent to the Graveyard, activate during the next Standby Phase. Special Summon this card. If it leaves the field due to this effect, banish it."

"If this card is successfully Special Summoned by the effect of a 【HERO】, both players draw 1 card from their deck."

"Oh? Hahaha, still giving hand cards? Then thank you very much. Truly generous."

Tenjou Hikari drew a card with his opponent, expressionless.

"Oh—drew a quite useful card." Looking at the card drawn in his hand, Fen Ge seemed quite happy.

"Activate Field Spell card, Earthbound Geoglyph!"

A purple light lit up on Fen Ge's right hand, and at the same time, a huge geoglyph appeared in the sky, reflecting onto the ground.

Tenjou Hikari looked up.

Because it wasn't a Turbo Duel, the colors of the geoglyph weren't reflected very strongly.

"Discard this card in my hand." Fen Ge looked at the card in his hand, picked one up, slightly disgusted, "Discard Invoked Purgatrio."

"What are you doing?" Seeing Fen Ge throw this card away, Li Luo Si screamed.

Invoked Purgatrio, when this card on the field is sent to the Graveyard, select 1 Ritual, Fusion, or Synchro monster face-up on the field and destroy it.

This is another approach the Fusion Sect has had for some time to conquer the Synchro Dimension and incidentally target Tenjou Hikari.

However, Fen Ge didn't care about this point at all—or rather, because Li Luo Si's tactics hadn't been effectively successful before, he became suspicious of Li Luo Si.

After all, the Fusion Sect are not humans of this dimension, Fen Ge had never seen the power of the Fusion Sect before, plus his own arrogance as a noble, he naturally wanted to choose again.

"What I want to do doesn't need your concern, sir." Fen Ge snorted coldly, "I am Count Da Luo Shan, an Earthbound Immortal, a naturally noble existence destined to become a god in the future, I don't need you pointing fingers here!"

He was very dissatisfied with this Li Luo Si who kept pointing fingers.

"Activate Spell card, One for One. This card can only be activated by sending 1 monster card from the hand to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 1 monster from the hand or deck."

One for One?

Tenjou Hikari nodded slightly.

Speaking of deployment ability alone, this card is indeed very excellent.

"What I want to Special Summon from the deck is this card—Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlin!"

A demon sealed in a hammer, with its body bound by countless chains, struggled to appear on the field.

Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlin, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 300.

"When this card is Summoned/Special Summoned, Special Summon one 【Earthbound】 monster of Level 5 or lower other than 【Geo Gremlin】 from the deck.

Special Summon Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!"

The sound of a whale calling rang out, and a blue whale bound by chains slid its body and appeared on the field.

Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken, Level 5, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 1600.

Looking at these two familiar monsters, Tenjou Hikari could feel the soul in his deck trembling excitedly.

It's the Geoglyph Squid.

Is it...

Sure enough, the opponent is indeed that 【Sea Earthbound Immortal】.

"Use the Level 1 Geo Gremlin and Level 5 Geo Kraken on the field to Synchro, Synchro Summon—"

"Level 6, Tuner monster, Coral Dragon."

A dragon jumped out of the sea, staring at Tenjou Hikari's back.

Coral Dragon, Level 6, Water Attribute, Dragon-Type, ATK 2400.

It's actually a Synchro Tuner?

"What? Synchro Tuner?"

"This is a super rare card..."

"Wow..."

Many Security officers saw this card, and just seeing its classification, they were vaguely excited, and many who hadn't seen how much money it was worth subconsciously wiped their mouths.

Even though they weren't drooling.

A Synchro Tuner, I'm afraid it's worth several decades, or even hundreds of years of their wages, it's a regular card they almost have no way to get by purchasing, but now it was casually summoned to the field by Fen Ge!

"Earthbound Geoglyph's effect! Activate when a Synchro monster is Special Summoned. Add 1 【Earthbound Immortal】 Spell/Trap card from the deck to the hand. What I want to add is—Earthbound Immortal Roar."

"Then, because Earthbound Geoglyph exists on the field, when I Tribute Summon an Earthbound Immortal, I can treat a Synchro monster as two monsters for the Tribute.

I Tribute Coral Dragon, Tribute Summon, Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua!"

Hum—

His right hand lit up with intense purple light.

In the sky, that huge geoglyph began to show fluctuations like water currents.

Countless wailing sounds rang out, and immediately after, in the sky, a huge killer whale with wings "leaped out" from the void as if swimming in space, covering the entire sky.

"Th-that, what is that?" The Security officers were panicked.

The huge killer whale covering the sky looked down at the earth, countless human souls poured into its mouth from outside the sky, and as it opened and closed, it easily devoured countless souls.

"Chacu... Challhua."

In the original work, this Earthbound Immortal chose "Bomber," and was also one of the Dark Signers influenced by Goodwin through various means.

However, it seems that in this world, the one who poisoned Bomber's hometown is a noble from the S Dimension.

Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua, Level 10, Dark Attribute, Fish-Type, ATK 2900.

"He seems to have absorbed quite a few souls."

"Ha... a bunch of parasites wasting social resources, they don't deserve to be human, it's just right to add bricks and tiles for a better future, it's their blessing."

Fen Ge didn't care: "Furthermore, I am a person who will become one of the God's people in the future, these guys are not the same species as me at all, right?

Shouldn't you think so too?"

Tenjou Hikari was expressionless: "Is that so."

"Hmph, Coral Dragon's effect, activate when this Synchro Summoned card is sent to the Graveyard. Draw 1 card from your deck."

He glanced at the card he drew.

Beautiful, drew well.

"Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua can attack the opponent directly!"

The huge killer whale swam in the air, and before long, it arrived above Tenjou Hikari, it opened its huge mouth, and countless purple sea waves fell from the sky.

"Waaaaah—" A group of Security officers who were watching the fun saw this and hurriedly began to dodge.

Because they discovered that those sea waves hitting the ground actually corroded the runway instantly, and even those D-Wheels that were accidentally involved were almost instantly scrapped!

Tenjou Hikari LP: 3100 → 200.

Tenjou Hikari's clothes exploded instantly, his whole brain was dizzy, he staggered, almost fell, half-knelt on the ground, supporting himself with his right hand, only then did he not fall.

"Hahahahahaha—"

"Is this the power of a god!? It's truly too strong!" Fen Ge laughed loudly.

Li Luo Si saw Tenjou Hikari lose so much life points at once, and even almost fell, so he was relieved.

Although slightly surprised, since Fen Ge caused such great damage, then, one should be able to trust Fen Ge.

Although he expressed his distrust of Fen Ge changing strategies and focusing on using the Earthbound Immortal, since the opponent caused such high damage, perhaps the opponent is right.

"Now Fen Ge's field also has Fusion Destruction, which can negate the 【Fusion】 Spell activated by Tenjou Hikari. Even, if Tenjou Hikari dares to activate a Fusion Spell card, his remaining 200 life points will instantly be negated and reduced to 0 by the effect of Fusion Destruction."

"And..." Li Luo Si looked at the huge Earthbound Immortal wandering in the sky, "Earthbound Immortals are unaffected by Spell/Trap card effects, and cannot be selected as attack targets.

That is to say, the Earthbound Immortal can attack at will, while Tenjou Hikari has absolutely no way to deal with it.

Not only that, the Earthbound Immortal's level is 10, Chimerafflesia's effect can't even be used on the Earthbound Immortal!

Awesome—could it be that Tenjou Hikari's failure is about to be born before my eyes?"

He was very excited.

"Hm... just in case." Fen Ge looked at the card in his hand, his mouth curled, "Activate Spell card, Earthquake!"

"All face-up monsters on the field are changed to Defense Position!"

The killer whale slowly retracted its body, and its swimming posture became a little cautious.

Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua, ATK → DEF, DEF: 2400.

"As long as Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua exists face-up in Defense Position on the field, the opponent cannot enter the Battle Phase." Fen Ge slowly clenched his fist, "Not only that, once per turn, in a turn it doesn't attack, it can inflict damage to the opponent equal to half of this card's DEF!

I will win!"

He declared confidently, then directly set a card.

"Then, my turn—"

Tenjou Hikari covered his head with his hand, shook his head, struggled to stand up, and then drew a card.

He glanced at the card he drew, couldn't help but shake his head instinctively, and said: "Sometimes, I often think, why do my opponents, especially guys like you, why do they lose again and again."

"What?" Li Luo Si and Fen Ge asked at the same time.

"Now I understand, because I can cooperate with my friends and teachers from the bottom of my heart, while you—even if you come up with corresponding tactics, even if it's nominal cooperation, you will eventually doubt each other.

Let me tell you, what kind of mistake you made.

A Spell card that destroys 【Fusion】 is not the same thing as destroying 【Fusion】!"

"Normal Summon, Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlin!"

"What!?"

A group of Security officers saw this and exclaimed.

What's going on, how is the card Tenjou Hikari using the same as Count Fen Ge's?

"What..." Li Luo Si also said in shock, "Tenjou Hikari actually has... oh no, that's right, I remember, when observing his deck today, there were indeed similar cards..."

But at that time, he didn't know what Earthbound Servant was for at all, and Fen Ge didn't speak or discuss it with him at all!

"Geo Gremlin's effect, Special Summon Geo Kraken from the deck!"

As "slaves" of the Earthbound Immortal, these two gods appeared on Tenjou Hikari's field.

They struggled, wailed, and were in pain, just like the souls of the ordinary people inside Chacu Challhua.

"Is he trying to Synchro Muddy Mudragon here?" Li Luo Si immediately thought of a possibility, "But it's impossible, even if you use two Dark Attribute monsters to perform Fusion, fusing out Starving Venom Fusion Dragon to copy the Earthbound Immortal's effect, because of Chacu Challhua's effect, Tenjou Hikari, you can't perform battle either!"

He punched the ground fiercely: "Yes! Because Chacu Challhua is in Defense Position, you can't perform battle! You're doomed!"

"Doomed... I haven't performed Fusion yet, why do you think I'll lose!" Tenjou Hikari narrowed his eyes, opened the card, "Your 【Possibility】, your trust in 【Fusion】, where exactly is it, General of the 【Fusion Sect】!

Activate Trap card, Rebellious Fallen Angel!"

"Launch a rebellion against your 【God】!"

"Discard The First Darklord in my hand, activate the effect of Rebellious Fallen Angel, send monsters from my hand/field to the Graveyard, and perform a Dark Attribute Fusion Summon!"

"Wh... what?" Li Luo Si reacted.

That card is—

"That's right, it is exactly what you worry about and fear... the card Professor Chronos gave me."

"Fuse the two Earthbound Servants on the field!"

"Oh ancient soul imprisoned in the sea!"

"Now, launch a rebellion against the source of sin!"

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 8, Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken!"

Bang!

Bang bang bang—

In the sea, countless tentacles rose from the ground.

A squid geoglyph smaller than the killer whale geoglyph floated between the earth and the sky, low as a servant.

An octopus whose whole body was bound by chains and restraints slowly rose from the sea surface, just shrinking behind Tenjou Hikari.

Bang!

Sea waves surged, the beach was washed by the waves, scaring the Security officers into hugging each other.

Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2800.

Because of the effect of Rebellious Fallen Angel, Tenjou Hikari will also recover life points equal to the ATK value of the discarded Fallen Angel.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 200 → 3000.

"Tch, isn't this Earthbound Servant?" Seeing this monster, Fen Ge was a little shocked at first, but after seeing its name, he relaxed completely.

It's just a slave of the Earthbound Immortal. What's the big deal?

Just like the guys in the Lower City are all their consumables.

"Hehe, indeed, Geo Kraken is indeed not as good as your Earthbound Immortal in attack... but, 【servants】 also have the characteristics of 【servants】."

"Earthbound Servant Geo Kraken's effect. Activate when this card is Special Summoned. Add 1 Field Spell card from your deck/Graveyard to your hand."

This is an effect that only exists to serve the "Earthbound Immortal".

Fen Ge wasn't surprised.

"I add Earthbound Prison from my deck to my hand."

Tenjou Hikari's deck automatically shuffled, and a trembling card full of cracks flew from Tenjou Hikari's deck into his hand.

In Tenjou Hikari's deck, those cards that have nothing to do with Fusion will be affected by the power of Super Polymerization and fused into other cards.

However, Tenjou Hikari's current mastery of Fusion already supports him in putting many cards in his deck that are not particularly related to Fusion—such as Magical Hats.

But for this card, Tenjou Hikari is not prepared to control his power.

"Haven't you realized a problem yet? The Earthbound Immortal's effect requires a 【face-up Field Spell card】 on the field to take effect."

!?

Fen Ge only then came back to his senses.

"I set Earthbound Prison in the Field Zone." Tenjou Hikari casually stuffed Earthbound Prison into the Field Zone, but didn't flip it over.

In the sky, that not-so-solid geoglyph instantly began to dissipate, and the Earthbound Immortal swimming enthusiastically in the sky gradually lost its vitality and became a bit exhausted.

"Damn it!" Li Luo Si on the side roared angrily. In the current duel rules, there can only be one field on the field at the same time, so setting a field card will replace the previous field!

Now, Tenjou Hikari changed Chimerafflesia and Drawhand to Attack Position, then used Chimerafflesia to destroy the Earthbound Immortal in battle, used Geo Kraken and Drawhand to attack directly, because there is no Earthbound Immortal, so Earthbound Immortal Roar cannot be activated, and Fen Ge lost directly!

Damn it, if he hadn't discarded Invoked Purgatrio before and used other strategies to duel, destroying Predaplant Chimerafflesia, even if Predaplant Chimerafflesia searched for a card with Fusion in its name, because Fusion Destruction was on the field, Tenjou Hikari wouldn't have been able to use it!

At that time, Geo Kraken with 2800 ATK would have no way to resist the Earthbound Immortal with higher ATK—because if Earthbound Immortal Roar was activated, monsters with lower ATK than the Earthbound Immortal would be destroyed the moment they attacked!

Then, as long as he dragged it out, or was lucky enough to draw a Field Spell, Fen Ge would have won!

Fen Ge reacted slowly, but he also realized that he seemed to be about to lose, and hurriedly waved his hands: "Wait, wait wait wait, this match doesn't count, it's not a Turbo Duel, it shouldn't count towards the Dark Signer's struggle—"

"At this point, you still want to say such things?"

Tenjou Hikari slowly raised his hand and pointed at Fen Ge: "Change the Defense Position Chimerafflesia and Drawhand to Attack Position—use Chimerafflesia to attack Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua!"

Chimerafflesia with a full 5000 ATK can even increase its ATK by 1000 in battle, and without field support, the Earthbound Immortal cannot activate its divine power and can only be dragged down by Chimerafflesia and destroyed in front of its new partner.

The restraints on Geo Kraken began to crack.

Countless souls trapped in Chacu Challhua began to spread outward with it as the center.

Tenjou Hikari continued to command: "Drawhand, shoot!"

Drawhand acted quickly, shooting Fen Ge in the leg as he prepared to run away, instantly knocking him to the ground.

Fen Ge LP: 4000 → 2400.

"Finally, Geo Kraken, you decide."

Tenjou Hikari looked at Geo Kraken.

The giant monster in the sea remained stiff in place for a long time, until Fen Ge climbed into the car and wanted to escape, it quickly shot countless ink, blocking Fen Ge's line of sight.

Immediately after, the thick tentacles like pillars of heaven slammed down, smashing onto Fen Ge's body.

"Aaaaaaaah!!!"

Unlike Tenjou Hikari who held on and resisted the Earthbound Immortal's direct attack.

Fen Ge, who was ambitious but had no talent, spoke well, but actually didn't want to suffer at all, was directly attacked by the Earthbound Immortal and screamed instantly.

He fainted in the car, and after a long while, he came back to his senses and yelled at the Security officers in his impression: "What are you still stunned for, hurry up and catch this guy!"

"But, Count, didn't you promise—"

"What promise, I didn't... aaaaaaaah!!!"

Suddenly, he felt his body seem to float, he felt pain all over his body, in the sky, that huge purple whale suddenly appeared in the air again, as if it had suddenly surfaced while diving, and swallowed Fen Ge, who still had a lot to say, in one gulp.

Subsequently, the killer whale smashed from the sky to the earth amidst the panic of many Security officers dodging.

They had seen the horror of this Earthbound Immortal's attack, if it smashed on the ground, how could they still live?

But, their fear was obviously redundant.

Along with the fall of the killer whale, its body slowly shrank and turned into purple light, and finally completely turned into a card, which was casually caught by Tenjou Hikari.

An Earthbound Immortal card slowly dissipated its light and appeared in his hand.
