"Hooray, Master was the first to charge out of the curve!" Serena cheered.
Ushio wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead: "No, that's not right, Crow deliberately gave up the initial attack."
This is something very easy to consider.
The fearsome Earthbound Immortal, that "God" with only "1" ATK but an overwhelming effect, requires skipping the Battle Phase to activate its effect. In the first turn, there's no Battle Phase, so that effect probably can't be used! (Note: 1)
With Crow's driving skills, even though Tenjo Hikari's D-wheel isn't a standard D-wheel, it's still hard to surpass Crow in just a few days, so it's likely Crow deliberately let him have the lead!
For a more stable victory!
Not just he thought of this; anyone with some strategy could more or less understand Crow's intention.
A duel must ultimately have a winner, and Crow, with a more stable winning strategy, has no need to give the opponent a Battle Phase, allowing for the possibility of victory.
"Being underestimated, indeed. Tenjo Hikari, show him something mighty." Tierra floated beside Tenjo Hikari, leisurely sitting on the back of a Puppet Dragon, speaking casually to Tenjo Hikari.
Tenjo Hikari chuckled lightly, nodding slightly.
"It's my turn, draw!" Tenjo Hikari placed the drawn card into the card slot on his left.
He looked at his hand cards for this turn.
The system of the Blackwing Deck and his own Deck are fundamentally on different levels; as long as the Blackwing Deck can unfold properly, with the strength of his Deck, it could only take hits.
Moreover, Crow himself is quite clever, and now, with the power of an Earthbound Immortal, the hand cards would be exceptionally stable, without any chance of a bad hand.
It's highly likely that next turn, he could summon the Black-Winged Assault Dragon and Ultimate Earthbound Immortal on the field.
Furthermore, with the duel against Shinji, Crow completed a third of the Geo artwork, and as time passed and more distance covered, the entire Geo artwork was half done.
Despite the immense size of the Ultimate Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca's Geo artwork, nearly covering the entire Lower City Area, the progress is there - if he can't quickly decide the battle, it might be too late to defeat Crow.
If that's the case...
He glanced at the card in his hand.
Then let's do it this way.
"Activate the Equip Spell Card, Future Fusion!" Tenjo Hikari played a card, "This card sends Fusion Materials from the Deck to the Graveyard, Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster, and equips it with this card.
The Monster Special Summoned by this effect cannot battle this turn; also, when this card leaves the field, the equipped monster is destroyed."
Tenjo Hikari drove the D-wheel, pointing to the sky: "The Fusion Conditions are a Shaddoll Monster and a Dark Attribute Monster!"
"I will use Shaddoll Beast from the Deck and The Dark - Hex-Sealed Fusion from the Deck as Fusion Material to perform Fusion Summon!"
"Listen closely! God's voice! God's language! God's command!
Fusion Summon!
Descend upon us!
LV 5!
El Shaddoll Winda!"
With a doll-like delicate face, mechanical long hair, a Mage riding atop a Puppet Dragon emotionlessly took the stage, floating in Tenjo Hikari's field, flying alongside him.
El Shaddoll Winda, LV 5, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK 2200.
"Oh wow, it's Master's Winda—this time even using Hex-Sealed Fusion," Serena in the police team couldn't help but feel excited seeing the field.
As Tenjo Hikari's ace among aces, Spirit among Spirits, Serena knew well what Winda symbolized in the eyes of the F Dimension People. Using this Monster right at the start clearly showed Tenjo Hikari's seriousness toward the duel.
The card Hex-Sealed Fusion, she drew for Tenjo Hikari from a card pack, having been used only once before, she always thought Tenjo Hikari had forgotten about it, not expecting it to be used again now.
"Winda, huh? Hmph, though I'm not sure what power that Evil God conceals, the ability to block Special Summons is indeed very excellent," commented Akaba Leo, observing the duel.
As for the others, not knowing Winda's ability for the time being, they weren't too surprised.
"As for the effect of Shaddoll Beast used as Fusion Material, when this card is sent to the Graveyard by effect, draw one card."
Tenjo Hikari drew a card, glanced at it, and nodded lightly.
Alright.
"Set one card, end the turn!"
"Ending the turn so simply? Tenjo?" Crow asked as he drove beside Tenjo Hikari, puzzled, "This level isn't enough."
"My turn, draw—"
He glanced at his hand card: "Activate the effect of Simoon the Poison Wind from the hand!
When no Monsters are present on your field, banish another Blackwing monster from your hand other than this card to activate. Select 1 Black Whirlwind from your Deck and place it face-up in your Spell and Trap Zone.
After that, this card from the hand can be Summoned without releasing or sending to the Graveyard."
A whirlwind whipped up again on Crow's vehicle, and he seemed to be engulfed in a black cyclone, moving forward surrounded by fierce flames.
"Ah! It's coming!"
"It's that invincible Black Whirlwind!"
The shouts of shock from the team of police patrols arose one after another.
A crow, wrapped in the winds of plague, spread its black wings and flew out.
Blackwing - Simoon the Poison Wind, LV 6, Dark Attribute, Winged Beast-Type, ATK 1600.
