"My turn..."
Marufuji Shou crawled, drew a card from his deck, then slowly and effortfully stood up, step by step walking to the field, facing Caesar directly.
"Hmph..." Hell Caesar's already exaggerated sinister smile became even more dazzling.
"Shou!!" Judai shouted.
"I've always admired and respected my brother's opponents," Marufuji Shou struggled, standing on the dueling field, "But recently, my brother suddenly changed. Not only did he change his dueling style, but for victory, he even gave up our world's summoning method and used Xyz Summon..."
"Respect?" Hell Caesar replied, "That was the foolish thought of the old me. Now I respect nothing. No, if I have to say, I respect victory!
Victory is everything!"
As he spoke, it was as if a black storm emerged from his body.
"Ugh..."
"Uh..."
A group of onlooking duelists instinctively frowned.
In fact, "respecting opponents" and "respecting duels" are the consensus of all duelists in this world.
This is not something accumulated over a year or two, but a long-standing belief.
After all, they truly know that duel spirits exist in this world, and they've genuinely experienced various supernatural events, things like "Orichalcos," so they are accustomed to respecting, and most truly respect dueling.
Because dueling power and bonds really exist, as long as you connect with the cards, you might actually draw the key card you want during a duel.
In such a scenario, Marufuji Ryo's sudden change in style, even using summoning methods from other dimensions, had a considerable impact on others.
Not to mention saying things like "Disappear, loser," which would even stun prisoners.
But after saying that, Tenjouin Fubuki, who was initially worried, began to contemplate deeply.
As Caesar's true and heartfelt friend, he vaguely sensed Caesar's inner thoughts, as if he truly understood something.
"Is that really right?" Marufuji Shou still struggled.
"Ha—foolish." Hell Caesar held a card in one hand, gripping it with his ring and pinky fingers against his palm, pointing at his opponent with his index and middle fingers, "Wearing that outfit, you should have been scrutinized, right? Then, logically, Tenjo Hikari should have been scrutinized as well.
What happened?
Did he give up on Polymerization?
Because of a mere dimensional invasion?"
Marufuji Shou was suddenly taken aback.
In the "interrogation room," he naturally saw Tenjo Hikari, and naturally watched Tenjo Hikari's duels.
No change.
Not a single change.
Tenjo Hikari was still the same Tenjo Hikari.
No matter when.
No matter where.
No matter what happens, he only does one thing, which is—Polymerization!
Wars might make everyone resistant to Polymerization.
But it won't stop that man's steps!
"I see, as expected... Brother is still brother." Marufuji Shou suddenly thought of something and regained some spirit.
"Hmph..."
"Then, my turn!"
"That kid regained his spirit, huh?"
"But what's the use? Five-Headed Dragon can't be destroyed by monsters other than Light Attribute ones."
"Destruction aside, Five-Headed Dragon has an ATK of 5000!"
"The Fusion Monsters in a Roid Deck are all Earth Attribute, right?"
"I heard there's also Fire Attribute..."
In other words, it can't be done—
"No! It can be done!" Marufuji Shou interrupted their discussions, "My deck can do it!"
Marufuji Shou without hesitation placed the card he just drew into the Duel Disk: "Activate Spell Card, Power Bond!"
Power Bond!
"By fusing Machine-Type, obtain a Fusion Spell Card that doubles ATK."
"Tch, as expected of someone from the Fusion Army."
"Stop saying that!" Judai jumped out, "Shou only joined the Integration Department to fool around with friends as part of the club! It has nothing to do with Fusion Army!"
"Thank you, big brother..." Shou, hearing Judai say this, was moved to tears, then he wiped his eyes, took a deep breath, and raised his voice, "Indeed, I'm a member of the Integration Department!
I am—
The representative of Duel Academy Main School's Duel Integration Department, Marufuji Shou!"
Representative!?
No wonder he's dressed so extravagantly!
Many were even more surprised hearing Marufuji Shou.
"But what's wrong with joining a club just for interests and aspirations!" Marufuji Shou drew two cards from his hand.
The Fusion Army's attack on the X Dimension had a huge impact.
Because of this, many Integration Department students were influenced by their families and swiftly quit the department. Those who stayed were instead him, the "spy," and those real "Fusion Army" reserve soldiers.
"There are Fusion Monsters in a Roid Deck. That is what I fused with my big brother—the UFOroid Fighter!"
"UFOroid Fighter requires a Warrior-Type Monster. Your deck should be a Machine-Type deck..."
"Got it!" Marufuji Shou not only directly revealed the Warrior-Type Monster in his hand but even retrieved all the cards from the backup card box hidden behind his cape, showcasing them by shuffling them.
"That is—" For the first time, Fubuki felt surprised from Marufuji Shou.
"So many!?" Judai exclaimed.
Purple monsters!
A multitude of purple monsters!
They are all Fusion Monsters!
"These are the beloved Fusion Monsters that my members, scared of the Fusion Army incident, had to leave in the interrogation room!
