Chapter 544: Fusion Sublimation (8k, seeking monthly tickets)

"Battle Phase ends, I activate the effect of Field Spell Card, Fusion Recycling Plant, discard 1 card from my hand, and then add Spell Card 【Replacement Fusion】 from my deck to my hand."

"Activate the effect of the discarded Metalfoes Fusion, this card returns to the deck, shuffle the deck, and then draw one card."

Tenjou Hikari glanced at the card he drew, set a card on the field, and said: "Set one card, end turn."

"At this moment, the effect of Fusion Recycling Plant activates. During the End Phase of either player's turn, target 1 Fusion Material monster in your graveyard that was used for a Fusion Summon this turn. Add that monster to your hand.

I add Thousand-Eyes Idol, which was used as a fusion material in the graveyard, to my hand."

"My turn, draw card—"

Lion Wizard drew a card from the deck and then directly revealed it: "Normal Monster, Mechanical Bat. According to the effect of Mortal Will, draw one card."

It slowly raised its hand, another card flew out from the deck, and then it flipped it over and showed it to everyone: "Normal Monster, Hell Ghost. According to the effect of Continuous Spell Card Mortal Will, draw one card."

It said these words calmly, and then silently drew cards from the deck.

Because its deck was indeed filled with Normal Monsters, Mortal Will could draw a sufficiently large number of cards.

However, even so, after drawing several monsters, it stopped, because it drew a Spell Card: "Tri-Wight, huh..."

Spell Card, Tri-Wight.

Tenjou Hikari narrowed his eyes.

Tri-Wight, can be activated when there are three Normal Monsters with the same name on your field. In the turn this card is activated, these three monsters can all attack directly!

He quickly calculated in his heart.

Although the ATK of "Lion Wizard" was only 1350 points, the ATK of three Lion Wizards was 4050 points. If all three monsters attacked, he would undoubtedly lose!

At the same time, the other two duelists present, upon seeing Tri-Wight, also instantly realized this point. Therefore, this time they surprisingly did not open their mouths to explain the card's effect or discuss Lion Wizard's tactics and card application.

Because they were all very clear that they could not disrupt the duelist's thinking on the field at this time!

Once Tenjou Hikari was influenced by them and did not make a normal decision in the duel, then they would be "committing a crime."

"Activate Spell Card, Ancient Rules!" Lion Wizard glanced at the card in its hand and then played one of them, "This card can Special Summon a monster of Level 5 or higher from the hand!"

"I want to Special Summon myself! Lion Wizard!"

The same lion wearing a cloak appeared on its field.

Lion Wizard, Level 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 1350.

"At this moment, activate Quick-Play Spell Card, Inferno Reckless Summon!"

"Can be activated when the opponent has a face-up monster, and only 1 monster with 1500 or less ATK is Special Summoned to your field."

"Special Summon as many copies of that Special Summoned monster as possible from your hand, deck, or graveyard in Attack Position. The opponent chooses 1 face-up monster on their field, and Special Summons as many copies of that monster as possible from their hand, deck, or graveyard."

Sure enough!

Tenjou Hikari immediately understood Lion Wizard's idea.

Sure enough, it wanted to use the Tri-Wight tactic to directly obtain victory!

"Then, I activate Trap Card, Flame Sword Dance!"

Tenjou Hikari immediately reacted.

"Activate when a monster is Special Summoned. Special Summon 1 【Flame Swordsman】 or a Fusion Monster that mentions that card name from your Extra Deck, Level 7 or lower. After that, you can change 1 face-up monster on the field to face-down Defense Position!"

"Wuhu! Master, I'm coming!!"

Flame Swordsman carried a greatsword and appeared after a long time. He was just preparing to breathe the air, but was immediately somewhat unable to breathe due to the pain in the air.

"Flame Swordsman... huh?" Lion Wizard saw Flame Swordsman and was slightly amazed.

Flame Swordsman, Level 5, Fire Attribute, Warrior-Type, DEF 1600.

"Flame Swordsman..." Aster crossed his arms, his mouth curled up, and he could not help but speak, "The legendary duelist, one of Joey Wheeler's trump cards. Legend has it that he once fought through thorns and thistles for him in various duels.

However, with the end of the 【Legend】, Flame Swordsman gradually became a term of the past. Although still rare and still expensive, it was gradually forgotten.

The reason is very simple..."

"The later Flame Swordsman is only a Fusion Monster... huh." Amon followed up, "I heard that Mr. Wheeler's Flame Swordsman was an Effect Monster and did not need to perform Fusion, but the Flame Swordsman sold by Industrial Illusions and Kaiba Corporation later were always Fusion Monsters, seemingly locking the direction of evolution.

Although extremely rare and extremely famous, because of its low ATK and bizarre fusion materials, it... has not appeared in front of duelists for a long time."

"Yes, that's right—for the vast majority of people, 【Flame Swordsman】 is that 【Forgotten】 card!

Until... Department Head Tenjou used Flame Swordsman again, becoming famous in our world—using 【Fusion】!"

Flame Swordsman secretly listened to the discussion between the two. Listening and listening, it could not help but puff out its chest, pat its chest, and its confidence was overflowing.

That's right!

It was it!

Flame Swordsman!

And it seemed that because of its appearance, the resentment and pain around it also gradually dissipated, and no longer pressured Tenjou Hikari, turning to hover instead.

"Use the effect of Flame Sword Dance to cover you—"

The small Lion Wizard gently wrapped its cloak and turned over, falling asleep, turning into a set card.

"Because you have no face-up monsters on your side, you cannot Special Summon cards with the same name—similarly, because I am a Fusion Monster, Inferno Reckless Summon cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, so I have no way to Special Summon monsters."

Its tactic was interfered with, but Lion Wizard was not too surprised.

It was not strange for the opponent to see through its strategy.

If one set of tactics was not suitable, then naturally there were other methods that could be used.

"Activate Spell Card, Hand Destruction."

"Both parties discard all cards in their hands, and then draw the same number of cards."

Tenjou Hikari raised his eyebrows. He put all the cards in his hand into the graveyard, and then drew three cards from the deck.

On the other side, Lion Wizard discarded a large number of cards in its hand and then performed a replacement.

"Activate Spell Card, Magical Fitting Room." It took out the Spell Card in its hand and placed it on the field.

"Magical Fitting Room, it's also a support card for low-level Normal Monsters." Amon frowned.

"Because the deck is filled with low-level, Normal Monsters, so this kind of card was put in, hoping to achieve the best effect?"

Lion Wizard, LP: 2650 → 1850.

"Pay 800 Life Points. Reveal the top 4 cards of your deck. Special Summon Normal Monsters of Level 3 or lower among them to your field, and return the other revealed cards to the deck."

"First card—Level 1, Mechanical Bat." Lion Wizard revealed a card, and everyone concentrated on looking at it, curious about how many it could draw.

"Second card..." The card on its deck slowly flipped over, revealing its appearance, "Level 2, Beaked Beast."

The third card started to flip at the same time. Seeing the third card, Eko exclaimed in surprise: "Third card. Level 2, Insect Knight."

As if expecting something, and also as if exclaiming, everyone stared fixedly at the card on the top of Lion Wizard's deck.

"Fourth card..."

The card slowly flipped over.

"Level 1, Goblin of Greed!"

"Unexpectedly!?"

"All four are!?"

Although they had some expectations, seeing Lion Wizard reveal 4 cards and all of them being Normal Monsters of Level 3 or lower still made the onlookers exclaim.

Clearly, this was definitely not "normal."

"Tribute myself on the field, Tribute Summon, Morlinfen."

Holy crap, Sky God.

Tenjou Hikari complained in his heart.

"Next, activate Spell Card, Soul-Eating Magic Sword!"

"This card can only be equipped to a Normal Monster of Level 3 or lower on your field. When this card is activated, Tribute all Normal Monsters on your field except the equipped monster. For each one Tributed, the equipped monster's ATK increases by 1000!"

"I equip this card to Insect Knight, Tribute all other monsters on the field, and let its ATK increase by 4000!"

In front of a standard green-skinned Insect Knight, a greatsword suddenly fell. Insect Knight raised the greatsword. Although the greatsword was full of magic and looked evil, in order to make it stronger and able to defeat their enemies, four Normal Monsters rushed toward the magic sword one after another, providing it with power!

Insect Knight, Level 2, Earth Attribute, Insect-Type, ATK 500 → 4500!

"ATK 4500!?" Eko could not help but gently cover her lips. "This ATK is already on par with Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"

Aster also felt a trace of pressure.

The ATK of his Destiny HEROes was generally relatively low. If he changed his deck to a bunch of monsters he was not familiar with, he would have even less certainty of being able to steadily defeat this monster.

"Battle, Insect Knight! Use the cursed sword, use your resentment, defeat the enemy!"

Insect Knight jumped in front of the giant dragon with the sword. Although the giant dragon possessed the power of its companions, this power ultimately had a limit. How could it compare to the power contributed by 4 monsters that did not hesitate to destroy themselves?

"Defeat those novel monsters that replaced your positions!"

Lion Wizard roared.

The sword swept across the giant dragon, and massive black energy spread out, passed over the giant dragon, and swept onto Tenjou Hikari's body. Flame Swordsman directly stood up and guarded in front of Tenjou Hikari, and the flames rose.

This was Flame Swordsman.

The warrior who would always guard in front of Tenjou Hikari!

"Don't help me, Flame Sword!" Tenjou Hikari shouted directly, "Just let me accept it, let me see what kind of pain these spirits have experienced!"

"... Alright—Master!"

It moved its body aside, letting Tenjou Hikari face the darkness and resentment directly.

That was an old card, that was a bug-catching net, a night when a child was catching insects carefree. In order to celebrate his birthday, his parents gave him a recently popular "Duel Monsters" card.

The card was very novel, and the material was also very peculiar. Plus, it was the "insect" that the child liked most, so he liked it very much.

But—

With the Duelist Kingdom, Battle City, and countless competitions held, one day after another passed, the child gradually grew up, started school, had interests, and gradually became more sensitive to numbers.

Insect Knight, this old, powerless, and weak card, was gradually forgotten by the student, became a piece of paper at the bottom of a box, and finally...

One day, when the student was cleaning the house, it was thrown out all at once, without even looking for it.

After experiencing heavy pain and sorrow, the card fell into the 【Abyss】, was gradually occupied by pure resentment and pain, and was completely forgotten.

Tenjou Hikari LP: 4000 → 2200.

Tenjou Hikari shook his head.

So that's how it was.

He looked at Insect Knight, and then looked at his own and the opponent's graveyard.

Every card here should have experienced a similar scene.

"Forgotten, abandoned, discarded, these painful experiences make you unable to forget, and also make you painful... but—I'm here!" Tenjou Hikari's eyes flashed with purple light. "Destruction, ruin, shattering, rebirth—

That's right.

【Fusion】!"

Tenjou Hikari took a deep breath: "Fusion is a process of alchemy. For me, for you, forgetting is just a process. One day, you will never be forgotten—this is what I want to say!"

He shouted this sentence, seemingly wanting to convey his will and belief.

In the darkness, some black mist fluctuated because of the sound, and the colors seemed to gradually fade...

Turning purple!

Not far behind Tenjou Hikari, Aster widened his eyes.

The voice seemed to have been conveyed!

"... Interesting." Lion Wizard whispered in surprise, "Then, set one card, end turn."

"My turn!" Tenjou Hikari drew a card from the deck with a swoosh, and then glanced at it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Activate Continuous Spell Card! Severed Darkness!"

What kind of card is that?

Amon did not recognize this card and was somewhat surprised.

What was drawn on the card art seemed to be Dark Paladin?

"This card is a support card specifically for Normal Monsters." Tenjou Hikari did not hide it and spoke directly, "As long as this card is on the field, once per turn, activate when you successfully Normal/Special Summon a Normal Monster. Draw 1 card from your deck.

However, I am not prepared to activate this effect."

"I activate the effect of Field Spell Card, Fusion Recycling Plant, discard one card from my hand, and add a 【Fusion】 Spell Card from my deck/graveyard to my hand.

I add Fusion from my deck to my hand, and then, activate Spell Card, Fusion!"

Tenjou Hikari revealed the Fusion in his hand and said while doing so: "The fusion condition is, two Warrior-Type monsters with different Attributes!

I use Flame Swordsman of Light Attribute on the field and Elemental HERO Clayman in my hand to perform Fusion."

Although Clayman was a 【HERO】, the presence of this card was indeed a bit low. It seemed that precisely because of this reason, this card was not squeezed into the backup cards in Tenjou Hikari's deck.

"Let's go, Flame Sword!"

"Yes, Master!"

Flame Swordsman and Clayman started to fuse. Gradually, a monster slowly emerged from it.

"Fusion Summon!"

"Steel-Magic Knight - Gilti-Gearfried!"

Clang—clang—

The proud knight appeared from it, shining with light.

Steel-Magic Knight - Gilti-Gearfried, Level 8, Light Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 2700.

"Oh? Another monster that doesn't need limited materials and can be fused as long as it's a Warrior-Type?" Amon could not help but applaud for Tenjou Hikari. "In other words, even the oldest Warrior-Type monsters can be fused into this monster?"

In the air, more and more purple began to flow.

"But, the ATK is still higher on my side—"

"No..." Tenjou Hikari slowly clenched his fist, "The effect of Severed Darkness! Activate when a monster Fusion Summoned using a Normal Monster declares an attack against an opponent's monster—that monster of yours increases its ATK by the opponent's monster's ATK until the end of the turn!"

Although the ATK was only 2700 points, as long as it attacked, its ATK would instantly become 7200!?

"Even higher..." Aster sighed on the side, "When Steel-Magic Knight battles an opponent's monster, it can banish a Spell Card from the graveyard to increase its ATK by half of its DEF until the end of the turn... that is, 8000 points!"

"ATK 8000!?" Eko exclaimed.

This kind of ATK—

Let alone Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, even Five-Headed Dragon would be out of reach!

"Battle, use Steel-Magic Knight—"

"Open Trap Card!" Seeing Tenjou Hikari attack, Lion Wizard directly opened the set card, "Counter Trap, Attack Negation. Activate when an opponent's monster declares an attack by targeting that 1 attacking monster. Negate that attack. After that, the Battle Phase ends."

Tenjou Hikari frowned slightly. A whirlwind suddenly appeared in front of the high-leaping knight, rolling it back.

Although Steel-Magic Knight had the ability to negate effects when targeted, it was a pity that monsters had no way to resist Counter Trap Cards.

Tenjou Hikari glanced at the card in his hand.

"Activate the effect of Spell Card Replacement Fusion in the graveyard, banish it itself, then return a Fusion Monster to the Extra Deck, and then draw a card."

Whoosh—

A card popped out from the deck.

Hmm... this one?

Haven't used it for a long time...

Tenjou Hikari thought for a moment: "Set one card, end turn. Then, the effect of Fusion Recycling Plant, recover Clayman in the graveyard."

"It's a pity, if the attack had succeeded, Tenjou Hikari should have won." Eko said.

"No, it doesn't matter—" Amon responded, "As long as that Severed Darkness exists on the field, the Magic Knight on Tenjou Hikari's field is invincible against Insect Knight. It's far from being that easy to defeat it."

Aster also nodded.

In this situation, Tenjou Hikari almost couldn't lose.

Of course.

It was "almost."

Because "Mortal Will" existed on the opponent's field, so whatever happened, it was probably hard to say.

"My turn, draw card!" Lion Wizard drew a card quickly and then directly took it out for everyone to see: "Normal Monster, Ancient Jar."

It immediately followed up by drawing a card: "Normal Monster, Nether Plant", "Normal Monster, Warrior of Tradition", "Normal Monster, Dancing Fairy", "Trap Card... then at this moment, activate Quick-Play Spell Card, Hand Destruction, both parties send two cards from their hands to the graveyard, and then draw two cards."

Tenjou Hikari sent the cards in his hand to the graveyard, and Lion Wizard quickly redrew cards, and then revealed: "Have a Normal Monster, draw one card."

"Do it again, Hand Destruction."

It drew several cards one after another, and then nodded gently.

Almost there—

"Activate Spell Card, Tri-Wight!"

It took out a Spell Card: "Target 3 Normal Monsters of Level 2 or lower in your graveyard, Special Summon those monsters!"

"Special Summon, Level 1 Mechanical Bat! Level 1 Dancing Fairy! Level 1 Bone Mouse—and finally... Normal Summon, Level 1 Warrior of Tradition!"

Lion Wizard summoned a row of young, weak, ancient, forgotten monsters that were eroded by pain and almost like walking corpses.

"I am the Forgotten, I am the Guardian, I am the ancient wizard. During a casual dimensional travel, I accidentally discovered this dimension... I guard this world, protecting these lost and chaotic, confused monsters that have been turned into skeletons and zombies by resentment..." Lion Wizard finally introduced itself slightly.

Listening to this meaning, it seemed that it came to this world voluntarily, guarding these forgotten spirits.

"If even I leave this world, if even I don't care about them, then who else in the world will guard these weak and pitiful compatriots of mine?"

This world was the world of 【Forgetting】. If it weren't for it taking care of these spirits that only had instincts and longed for other existences to also be painful, this place would have long ago become a demon's den.

Similarly, it was precisely because this world was filled with these spirits full of resentment and walking corpses that the malice of this world toward ordinary people became more and more serious.

What Tenjou Hikari needed to face was never it. It welcomed someone who could take away the spirits of this world—but, what Tenjou Hikari and the others needed to face was this 【Dimension】!

The future of this 【Forgotten】 dimension!

"Human, I want to see your true will, I want to see how powerful your 【Fusion】 is!"

"Activate Spell Card Tri-Wight!"

"All face-up Level 1 Normal Monsters on your field increase their ATK and DEF by 2000 points! During the End Phase, all Level 1 monsters on your field are destroyed!"

Mechanical Bat, ATK 300 → 2300; Dancing Fairy, ATK: 300 → 2300; Bone Mouse, ATK: 400 → 2400; Warrior of Tradition, ATK: 350 → 2350.

"But, what is the point of this?" Eko asked in confusion. "ATK increases by 2000, it still can't be the opponent of Steel-Magic Knight, right?"

After she said this, she found that neither of the two boys responded to her. She turned to look at the two, only to find that both of them had cold expressions, and even cold sweat was seeping from their foreheads.

They realized 【One Thing】!

"At this moment, there are 【5】 face-up Normal Monsters of Level 2 or lower on my field! So—I can activate this card!"

"Spell Card, Weakness of the Flesh!"

A card fell from the sky like a nail, firmly embedded in the ground.

"According to its effect, both duelists discard all cards in their hands, and then, destroy all cards on the field except for Normal Monsters of Level 2 or lower!"

Eko was completely unable to breathe, as if her neck was being choked.

Hand, field, all cards destroyed!?

4 Level 1 monsters with ATK 2000 or more?

In this way, let alone 4000 Life Points, even 8000 couldn't withstand it!

"Go, vent your pain, your resentment!"

Five monsters that were not in human form, covered in acid and skeletons, howled.

The field shattered with a pop.

Mortal Will instantly disappeared.

The set cards on Tenjou Hikari's field were instantly flipped over and shattered. He looked at the cards in his hand, watching those cards being destroyed with his own eyes.

And Steel-Magic Knight, despite wearing gorgeous steel armor, was still no match for the wild wind, and was rolled into the grave by darkness and torture.

In this way, Tenjou Hikari's field was empty!

"It seems that it's over, human—"

Several people also sighed with regret.

Who could have imagined that Lion Wizard's final tactic was actually to destroy all cards!?

"No."

?

Tenjou Hikari said calmly: "I say no."

"Why!?"

All existences spoke instinctively.

"Indeed, Weakness of the Flesh destroyed all my cards, but this also caused your 【Soul-Eating Magic Sword】 to be destroyed—that is to say, your Insect Knight's ATK returned to 500!"

"What is the point of this? Anyway, you have no monsters on the field..."

"No! You're wrong—I am Tenjou Hikari, Tenjou Hikari of Duel Academy, Tenjou Hikari of Fusion, Tenjou Hikari who pursues the ultimate Fusion.

So, even if it's destruction, even if it's abandonment, even if it's disappearance, I will come back again and will not give up!

Activate the effect of the Trap Card in the graveyard!"

Ah!?

"A Wild Monster Appears!"

"Activate when this set card leaves the field due to the opponent's effect and is sent to the graveyard or banished. Special Summon a monster from your deck/Extra Deck!

What I want to Special Summon is..."

"Back-Up Magic Pitcher Magnum!"

Back-Up Magic Pitcher Magnum, Level 8, Light Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2800!

"ATK 2800—"

"Can't cross it!"

"Beautiful! As expected of the Department Head! Won!" Aster cheered from behind.

Although he didn't recognize this monster, the 2800 ATK declared Tenjou Hikari's victory!

Because both parties had discarded all their cards, but the monsters on Lion Wizard's field would be destroyed at the end of the turn, leaving only 1 Insect Knight with 700 DEF.

As long as Tenjou Hikari drew any monster with ATK greater than 800, he would win—even more, if Magnum had any other effects, it would be even easier!

"... Amazing, as expected of the human recommended by that old man." Lion Wizard scrutinized Tenjou Hikari. "But... human... no, Hikari.

Until now, you have been 【Fusing】, but...

Even if you don't use Normal Monsters, even if you don't use these abandoned cards, for you, it makes no difference, right? Because, you only need to use Fusion Spell Cards."

"My Fusion will not be that narrow."

"Then prove it to me!" Lion Wizard whispered, "Prove everything to me, no, to this 【World】! Prove that they can also 【Fuse】!"

"Change Insect Knight to Defense Position, end turn—"

Bang bang bang—

The zombies and skeletons on its field that were turned into resentment shattered and dissipated in the world.

Prove to everything, huh...

"Alright—then let you, let this world, witness my 【Fusion】! My turn, draw card!"

Tenjou Hikari glanced at the card he drew, and then said: "Magnum's effect, target 1 【Fusion】 Spell Card in the graveyard. Return that card to the bottom of the deck. After that, draw 1 card!

I recover Fusion Recycling Plant!"

He drew a card again. And this time the card he drew...

He didn't look at it!

He raised the second card and held it in the sky: "Fusion is a process of re-sublimation. Just like Magnum, recovering the Fusion that has already been used and has already entered the graveyard. Then acquire brand-new possibilities!

It is my brand-new understanding of 【Fusion】!

Now—spirits! Come!"

Purple light began to gather.

The bones, flesh, and crystals of the monsters that shattered on Lion Wizard's field began to rotate in the air, flying toward Tenjou Hikari's hand.

Rumble—

The huge stone gate began to move.

Purple gems began to appear on the gate for no reason. At the same time, the entire World of Forgetting began to slowly possess 【Color】.

"Forgetting is just a process, turn into a brand-new form—"

"Be born!"

Click, crack—

Aster and the other three seemed to hear the sound of bones shattering.

Tenjou Hikari slowly brought the card to his eyes, looking at the card glowing with purple light.

It's here—

"Normal Summon—Level 1, Memento Key Spirit!"

The ram-headed skeleton appeared on the field. Subsequently, countless purple smoke gathered together, and an angel that looked exactly like Key Spirit, but with completely different clothing, slowly descended.

It was not an 【Individual】, but an aggregate... condensed by the spirit and spirit of countless spirits in this dimension feeling Tenjou Hikari, and 【Fusion】!

"Memento Key Spirit!?"

"Key Spirit evolved?"

The three were dumbfounded, especially Eko. Tenjou Hikari's behavior was simply impacting her worldview.

It was the first time she knew that a duelist's willpower, mental power, and spirit power were strong enough to directly 【Create】 brand-new cards during a duel!

"Interesting—interesting—Hikari—" At some point, on Lion Wizard's head, it seemed that a 【Crown】 had been worn.

This world, because of Tenjou Hikari's appearance, Tenjou Hikari's 【Fusion】, was introduced to brand-new 【Possibilities】.

And this kind of possibility was guiding it... toward a more distant 【Future】!

Guiding this spirit dimension to choose a brand-new evolutionary direction!

I'm afraid this Tenjou Hikari was the purest one among the countless humans it had ever seen!

"Activate the effect of Memento Key Spirit!" Tenjou Hikari waved his right hand, "Activate during your Main Phase. Destroy 1 【Memento】 monster on your field, add a 【Memento】 card other than 【Memento Key Spirit】 from your deck to your hand..."

Tenjou Hikari picked up the deck himself, slowly turned the deck over, and then displayed it like drawing poker, showing his deck in front of all existences, showing that piece of green, and then, picked up a card from the middle: "The card I want to choose is, Quick-Play Spell Card—Memento Fusion!"

Memento... Fusion!?

"A brand new Fusion... belonging to the Forgotten... Fusion?!" The Lion Wizard was vaguely on the verge of tears.

"Destruction is forgetting, but forgetting will not exist forever. After destruction, it will welcome rebirth, which is... the 【Sublimation】 of Fusion!"

"Quick-Play Spell Card, Memento Fusion, activate during either player's Main Phase. Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster using monsters from your hand/field including 【Memento】 monsters as fusion materials—in the turn that your monster has already been destroyed by an effect, you can also let 【Memento】 monsters in your graveyard return to the deck to perform Fusion!"

"Return to the deck to perform Fusion?" Eko was again in disbelief.

"Truly amazing..." Amon also had to admit that Tenjou Hikari was creating things he had never understood. "Return to the deck to perform Fusion... it's also my first time seeing it, truly powerful."

On the other side, Aster had other thoughts: "Monsters are destroyed and forgotten, but using Fusion, recovering forgotten monsters... it really is a heroic feat. Perhaps, this is the destiny I wanted to see?"

"Fuse Elemental HERO Avian in my hand and Memento Key Spirit in the graveyard!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 8, Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman!"

The light of Memento Key Spirit lit up the entire world. The skeletons piled up like mountains and forgotten in this world began to recall life again. They piled up and began to guide the evolutionary direction of this world again.

Elemental HERO Shining Flare Wingman, Level 8, Light Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 2500.

"Battle—Magnum destroys Insect Knight by battle... and then—Shining Flare Wingman, direct attack to Lion Wizard!"

Shining Flare Wingman did not attack Lion Wizard. It just stood above the huge gate, emitting its light, making the entire Underworld even brighter!

Lion Wizard, LP: 1850 → 0.

"Ha, hahaha—" Although it lost, it let out a heaven-shaking laugh.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 545 =====
