"Hmph, foolish. The real privilege belongs to me alone, and that's just fine. This way, it's fair for everyone. Isn't this what you all want?" Divine said with a straight face, not skipping a beat.
"Heh, finally showing your true colors? Or is it that you don't need to pretend anymore?"
"Don't misunderstand. They are merely asleep in the ocean of the Spiritual World, not dead—you know, people have selfish desires. If they rely on their superior telekinetic abilities to oppress ordinary people in the Spiritual World, apart from me, the genius, who else could manage them?"
"I've heard enough. Hurry up and continue your duel." Tenjo Hikari had no interest in listening to Divine's nonsense from the beginning, but Divine seemed eager to perform, and as his opponent in the duel, Tenjo Hikari couldn't escape, so he just waited idly.
"Hehehe, then let me show you the power of our [God]!"
"Psychic End Punisher's Monster Effect, pay 1000 Life Points, target one monster on your field and one card on the opponent's field, and banish those cards!"
He pointed at the dog on his field, then pointed at the card to Tenjo Hikari's left. "Banish these two cards."
Divine, LP: 1750→750.
"Use and discard, huh? How fitting for a hypocrite like you." Tenjo Hikari casually lifted a card, showing it to his opponent before putting it away.
"Wasteland Fusion? Sounds like a card that fuses from the Graveyard?" Divine smiled, "Ha, looks like I banished a good card."
"Then, battle phase—"
"Activate Psychic End Punisher's effect!"
He laughed maniacally, "Activate when either player's battle phase begins. This card's attack power increases by the difference between both players' Life Points!"
"My Life Points are 750, yours are 4000, so—Psychic End Punisher's ATK increases by 3250!"
Psychic End Punisher absorbed the blood of those around, its body becoming more silver and shiny, letting out a low howl.
Psychic End Punisher, ATK: 3500→6750.
"6750!?" Tierra's face was tense, "If this attack goes through, you lose, Tenjo Hikari!"
She was quite nervous.
Divine wore a menacing grin.
Psychic End Punisher has another effect he didn't mention, which is that when your own Life Points are lower than the opponent's, a Synchro Summoned Psychic End Punisher is unaffected by the opponent's card effects!
This means, even if Tenjo Hikari set Mirror Force or similar cards, they can't stop Psychic End Punisher!
He had won—
"Battle, Psychic End Punisher attack directly!"
The demon of the Spiritual World leaped high, raising its right hand, pulling out a brain-like blade from the void, ready to attack Tenjo Hikari.
"When your monster declares an attack, I activate the effect of this card from my hand—Special Summon in Defense Position."
"Vampire Fraulein!"
Vampire Fraulein, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Zombie-Type, DEF 2000.
Though she certainly couldn't withstand Psychic End Punisher's attack, as long as Tenjo Hikari wasn't directly attacked, it was fine.
"Naïve, you didn't think my three set cards were just for card recovery, did you? Activate Trap Card Past Image!"
Divine decisively flipped the card he hadn't used in the last turn: "When you have a face-up Psychic-Type monster on your field, select one monster on the opponent's field and activate. Banish the chosen monster until the next standby phase, then it returns to the opponent's field in the same position!"
He wore a frenzied expression.
He didn't activate this card last turn, enduring the damage not only to lower his Life Points but also because it was unnecessary to waste the card.
This was the brilliance of his strategy—
"Reveal Set Card! Trap Card, Magical Hats!"
Unexpectedly, Tenjo Hikari immediately activated a Trap Card chain!
"What?!" Divine was taken aback.
"Activate during the opponent's battle phase. Select two Spell and Trap cards from your deck, and those two cards are used as Normal Monsters with 0 ATK and DEF, shuffle them with one of your main monster zone's monsters, and set them face-down!"
Tenjo Hikari selected two Spell Cards from the deck, set them on the field, and then Vampire Fraulein yawned, gently pulling up her parasol, and fell into a deep sleep.
The three cards were enveloped by giant magical hats, then began to spin, eventually stopping on the field.
"The Trap Card lost its target, so the activation is negated." Tenjo Hikari casually waved.
"Tch... quite the tricks." Divine glanced at the three giant hats, but wasn't nervous, "Heh, no matter—attack the hat on the right."
Psychic End Punisher raised its right claw, aiming at the hat, throwing a purple psychic spear, and the next second, Vampire was forced to be revealed.
"I told you, I am a genius, the king of telekinesis—no, I am God, about to become the [The One] of this world! Such simple tricks, a peek with psychic power reveals everything."
Blatantly admitting to using telekinesis to see through, rather proud.
"Activate Vampire Fraulein's effect, paying 3000 Life Points to increase her ATK and DEF!"
Tenjo Hikari LP: 4000→1000.
"Hmph, even if it's 5000 DEF, the punisher can easily pierce through!"
As expected, even with all her might, Vampire couldn't resist the demon, and eventually turned into bats, disappearing from the field.
Divine was pleased, now with Tenjo Hikari empty-handed and the Fusion Materials on his field destroyed, there was no hope or future, how could he defeat Divine?
