"Activate Continuous Spell Card, Split Form."
"As long as this card exists on the field, when your Fusion Monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon one Fusion Material used by that Fusion Monster from your Graveyard."
Behind Tenjo Hikari, a massive grave slowly emerges, with "Tenjo Hikari" inscribed on it, appearing both terrifying and eerie.
At this moment, Tenjo Hikari faces the duel with a mindset of embrace death.
"Then, set one card, ending my turn."
"Hehehe, truly an excellent duel, Tenjo Hikari. Even if you can't destroy my monster through battle, you still find ways to dismantle my power," says Light of Destruction behind Shadow of Saiou. "However, your actions are ultimately futile.
My power far exceeds that of humans."
As his words fall, Saiou sharply draws a card: "My turn, draw card!"
Simultaneously, Light Barrier begins to spin.
"Light Barrier processes during the standby phase, losing its effect when in reversed position."
The Light Barrier slowly spins and shortly stops in the upright position.
Saiou exhales deeply, then bursts into triumphant laughter: "To those daring to defy destiny, I bequeath the Hammer of Calamity! Light Barrier, shine your brilliance!"
The Light Barrier explodes with terrifying light, casting shadows over everyone present.
"Be careful, Tenjo Hikari, the guy has the Hierophant, and if he gathers three Arcana Force, he can summon the Chaos ruler!"
"Hmm. I know."
"Oh, starting to discuss tactics now? But the Wave of Light is invincible!!" Saiou stretches out his right hand, pointing his claw-like palm at the grave, "Activate the effect of Arcana Spread in the Graveyard, banish this card from the Graveyard to add one card with a coin tossing effect from the Graveyard to the hand!
I shall add Wave of Light to my hand!"
"Continuous Spell Card, Wave of Light!!" Saiou grins fiercely, "Thus, the disparity between you and me will widen further, Tenjo Hikari!"
"So, that card has a Graveyard effect as well?" Tenjo Hikari nods lightly as he listens, then extends his right hand, "But it's not that easy, Light of Destruction!
Activate Set Card, Quick-Play Spell Card, El Shaddoll Fusion!"
Tenjo Hikari picks up the card in his hand and reveals it: "El Shaddoll Fusion allows for Fusion Summoning by sending materials from the hand or field to the Graveyard!
I send Destiny Hero - Disk Commander and Shaddoll Dragon from my hand to the Graveyard, Fusion Summon!"
"Speaker of Gods!"
"El Shaddoll Winda!"
Winda's image reappears on the field, waving its Magic Staff to ward off any existence that approaches.
El Shaddoll Winda, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2200.
"In this instant, Shaddoll Dragon's effect activates, when this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, target one Spell and Trap Card on your opponent's field and destroy it!"
"Destroy once more, Wave of Light!"
Tenjo Hikari points at Wave of Light, and Puppet Dragon flies out of the Graveyard, entwining Puppet Strings to smash that monster.
"Hmph...interesting." Watching his power demolished once again, Light of Destruction can't help but snort coldly.
"Hahaha, Cosmos of God, dueling can't be learned merely by watching." At one side, Tierra sees Light of Destruction humiliated and bursts into hearty laughter.
She can also tell Light of Destruction's cards are much stronger than Tenjo Hikari's, but that doesn't mean Tenjo Hikari will lose.
At least at this moment, Tenjo Hikari clearly has the upper hand.
"Naive, this man is one of the most talented duelists in your world. He possesses the ability to see through destiny and has foreseen destiny even before his duel with you — everything you do has appeared within destiny."
As this continues, Shadow of Saiou aptly shouts: "Indeed, El Shaddoll Winda possesses the ability to block Special Summons, but this alone cannot change everything!
Its ATK is its weak point!"
"Not true, Master has Flame Swordsrealm on the field, as long as Flame Swordsrealm exists, Winda's ATK is 3200 points, not so easily destroyed!"
"Hmph—Flame Swordsrealm, I'll just destroy it then." Saiou reveals a sinister smile, "Pay 500 Life Points, activate Quick-Play Spell Card, Tornado. This card can destroy one face-up Spell and Trap Card on the field!"
Shadow of Saiou LP: 4300→3800.
"Destroy, Flame Swordsrealm, troublesome Spell Card, hurry and vanish!"
"Then, Normal Summon, Arcana Force V - The Hierophant, Hierophant's upright monster effect, Special Summon one Arcana Force monster of LV 4 or lower from the deck that does not exist on the field or in the Graveyard, The Emperor."
Arcana Force V - The Hierophant, LV 4, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 1500.
Arcana Force IV - The Emperor, LV 4, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 1400.
"Upright Emperor increases the ATK of all Arcana Force monsters on the field by 500 points!"
Sun, ATK: 2900→3400, Hierophant, ATK: 1500→2000, Emperor, ATK: 1400→1900.
"Battle, Sun attacks Winda!"
The eerie angel twisted its body, dashing to Winda's front, wielding tendrils to capture the Mage and tear it apart.
Boom.
Tenjo Hikari LP: 4000→2800.
"Split Form effect, I Special Summon Disk Commander from the Graveyard!"
Destiny Hero - Disk Commander, LV 1, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, DEF 300.
"Effect of Light Barrier, I recover Life Points equivalent to the original ATK of the battle-destroyed monster!"
"Disk Commander's effect, when Special Summoned from the Graveyard, draw two cards. Winda's effect, when this card is sent to the Graveyard, add one Shaddoll Spell and Trap Card from the Graveyard to the hand, I choose El Shaddoll Fusion."
Tenjo Hikari adds El Shaddoll Fusion from the Graveyard to his hand, then draws two cards from the deck.
Shadow of Saiou, LP, 3800→6000.
"Emperor attacks Flame Swordsman!" The Emperor approached, grabbing Flame Swordsman and piercing it countless times.
Shadow of Saiou, LP, 6000→7800.
"Ha, let's smash that meddling Disk Commander too."
The Hierophant walked up casually, picked up Disk Commander, and threw it to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
Shadow of Saiou, LP, 7800→8100.
"Hahahahahahahaha—" Saiou laughed wildly, "Battle is over, send the three Arcana Force Monsters on the field to the Graveyard, contact fusion!!
Witness it, those who dare defy destiny, the Hammer of the End that descends upon you!
Destroy everything, return all to the original point, the Monster of the End!
Arcana Force EX - The Chaos Ruler!"
Heaven and earth underwent a drastic change.
The cosmos erupted with furious Red Light, countless planets and galaxies collided under the rays, annihilated, ultimately destroyed, and the ruler of light and darkness, the End Ruler, finally descended upon this world!
Arcana Force EX - The Chaos Ruler, LV 10, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 3300.
"Monster effect of Chaos Ruler, Upright Position, ignore summoning conditions, Special Summon one LV 10 Arcana Force Monster from the Deck!
Descend, Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler!"
Before the two onlookers could express surprise, under Saiou's control, a brand new Monster suddenly descended before Tenjo Hikari!
Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler, LV 10, Light Attribute, Fairy-Type, ATK 4000.
"Monster effect of Dark Ruler, Upright Position! This Monster can attack twice in one turn!"
"Hehehe—hahahahahahaha!! You're done for, Tenjo Hikari!"
Saiou spread his arms, laughing grotesquely at the sky, his hair frantically swaying, like a true Archfiend.
"The strongest Monster, infinite power, endless Life Points, you have no chance, Tenjo Hikari!"
Saiou Mizuchi retreated continuously at this scene, even stumbling onto the ground, yet even then, she kept looking at the field, face full of despair: "How, how could this be..."
Attack Power 4000!?
It can attack twice in succession!
How could this...
Even Serena couldn't help but breathe deeply, her hands trembled clasped before her, revealing her inner turmoil.
But, but, it's okay, although the attack power is high, Master's Monster should still be able to defeat them—
"Setting one card, Tenjo Hikari, during the End Phase of this turn, because of Fusion Destiny, the Fusion Summoned Dystopia Guy should be destroyed!"
"Quickly, don't hesitate about the Fusion Monster you received from Ed!"
Tenjo Hikari's face was like water, he calmly picked up the cards and placed them in the Graveyard, then opened the Graveyard and said, "Continuous Spell Card Split Form's effect, when a Fusion Monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, from the Graveyard, Special Summon one of its Fusion Materials, I Special Summon Destiny Hero - Denier."
Denier didn't come with a smile this time, but gripping the D - Chain marked with the D Hero logo, glared fiercely ahead.
Destiny Hero - Denier, LV 3, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, DEF 600.
"Monster effect of Denier, activate when this card is Special Summoned successfully. Choose yourself...?"
Tenjo Hikari suddenly froze.
He suddenly discovered Denier couldn't activate its effect.
Tenjo Hikari's pupils slightly contracted.
"Hahahaha—It's useless, Tenjo Hikari!"
Saiou spread his arms, the grim smile on his face declared his confidence and madness: "As long as the Light Barrier is on the field!"
He held the card in his left hand, slowly grasping it with his right, as if holding the world.
"Chaos Ruler can activate its strongest effect!
As long as it's on the field, opponent cannot activate Monster effects on the field!!"
"What!?" Already somewhat despondent, Saiou Mizuchi was nearly fainting.
"How could this..." Serena's tightly clenched hands loosened helplessly.
If this is the effect, there really is no way.
Even summoning an even stronger Monster would be unable to cope!
"This..." Even Tierra, who had been beside Tenjo Hikari, witnessing all of Ed and Saiou's Duel, couldn't help but look changed, "No good, Tenjo Hikari, this guy actually has the same type of card as that Blood Demon."
"Looks like It really likes this type of effect." Tierra couldn't help but worry for Tenjo Hikari, "Tenjo Hikari, what should we do now—"
Tenjo Hikari, keeping calm, looked at the top card of the Deck, then slowly raised his head, looked at his opponent, and said: "My turn begins now."
"Light of Destruction." Before drawing a card, Tenjo Hikari showed no trace of tension or fear.
"?"
"I'll give you a chance, give you a chance, where you definitely won't lose."
"What are you saying?" Behind Saiou, the Light of Destruction kept twisting, seeming quite puzzled.
"Now, rewind time to the first turn, you may still have a chance to beat me. Otherwise, you won't get another chance." Tenjo Hikari said calmly.
"Hahahaha—Tenjo Hikari, have you gone mad!? " Saiou laughed insanely, "Hahaha, hurry and make your last stand!"
