In the midst of the pure white earth, a small sprout extended from the ground, curling around the crystal of the Vicious Knight.
Clear Vicious Knight: Predaplant Counter 1; LV 7→1.
"Nice, the level has been lowered, and now Tenjo can use Spell Cards!"
The effect of Clear Wall is that it needs a LV 7 or higher Monster with "Clear" in its name to maintain its effect. Now, since Clear Vicious Knight's level has dropped to 1, Clear Wall can no longer sustain the effect of Clear World.
In other words, Tenjo Hikari can use Spell Cards!
"But even so... it's still not enough." Manjome's smile was still nowhere to be seen. "Because Monsters Special Summoned still have ATK lower than Clear Vicious Knight. Even if Tenjo uses Polymerization with Chimerafflesia, its ATK is still lower than Vicious Knight, and it can't exclude Vicious Knight."
The others nodded in agreement.
"The effect of Byblisp activates when this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add one Predaplant Monster other than Predaplant Byblisp from your Deck to your Hand Card."
Tenjo Hikari casually took his Deck and searched through it, finding one card: "Predaplant Banksiogre."
"Normal Summon Predaplant Chlamydosundew."
Tenjo Hikari placed the Monster in his hand onto the field: "Chlamydosundew is a Normal Summon Monster, so even if its ATK is lower than Clear Vicious Knight, it can activate its effect.
Moreover, as long as Chlamydosundew is on the field, its effect can be exercised.
As long as Chlamydosundew is on the field, it treats Monster Attributes with Predaplant counters as Dark Attributes for Fusion purposes!
Furthermore, Chlamydosundew's effect can be activated only during your Main Phase. Decide on a Fusion Monster Card of the Dark Attribute, include this card as Fusion Material from your Hand Card, field, or from your opponent's field with a Predaplant counter, send them to the Graveyard, and perform a Fusion Summon!"
Tenjo Hikari points to Clear Vicious Knight: "You don't want to be a Dark Attribute Monster? But being born as one means you can't escape from it!
I will use my Predaplant Chlamydosundew on the field and your Clear Vicious Knight on the field to Polymerize!
Fusion Summon—"
"Predaplant Chimerafflesia!"
Chlamydosundew leaped up, rushing toward Clear Vicious Knight, wrapping tightly around its pristine crystal casing. With its movement, a rumbling sound began to echo from beneath the earth.
BAM!!!
A giant cannibal flower rose from the ground, devouring the Vicious Knight in one gulp!
"Damn it—" Fujiwara Yusuke cursed under his breath.
"But even so, because a Dark Attribute Monster is still on the field, Tenjo-san can't declare an attack, right!?"
"No—" Tenjo Hikari grinned, "The effect of Predaplanning in the Graveyard! While this card is in the grave, when I successfully fusion summon a Dark Attribute Monster, banish this card from the grave to target one card on the field, and activate it.
That card will be destroyed!"
Not good—
"The card I will destroy, of course, is… Clear World!
Say goodbye to your so-called pure world!"
A massive black sphere descended from the sky, then slowly detonated, eventually exploding with a loud boom. All the crystals and the pristine white earth virtually disintegrated instantly, everything started to fall apart.
Tenjo Hikari watched Fujiwara Yusuke with a composed expression, as if what he had done was just an ordinary thing.
But—
Just as this collapse occurred, everything began to "rewind," everything returned to their original state, and it seemed that everything had started anew. The once crumbling pure white world soon began to recover, as if what had happened just now was merely an illusion.
"My turn, Draw Card."
Tenjo Hikari drew a card from the Deck.
The Hand Cards contained Aleister the Invoker, Invocation, Fusion Substitute, and the drawn Predaplant Chlamydosundew.
While on Fujiwara Yusuke's field, there was Clear World, Clear Wall, and Clear Vicious Knight. Next to Clear Wall, there was also a Set Card, its nature unknown.
With Tenjo Hikari's draw, entering the Standby Phase, his Aiwass on the field also exploded with a pop due to Clear World's effect.
"You cannot defeat this pure world!" Fujiwara Yusuke declared triumphantly, "Your so-called Ultimate Fusion, absolute colors, will lose to my pure world. I'll prove it to you!"
Tenjo Hikari furrowed his brow slightly: "My fusion doesn't care about any other factors, let me show you the Extreme Fusion I pursue!
The effect of Byblisp, search for Banksiogre."
Fujiwara Yusuke's face under the mask was serious, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Normal Summon Predaplant Chlamydosundew. According to its effect, I can during the Main Phase…"
"Naive, I activate Trap Card, Infinite Impermanence!"
Hmm?
The two spectators of the duel expressed their curiosity: "Huh, this card feels familiar."
"Yes... it seems like I've seen it somewhere."
Bubble?
Tenjo Hikari raised an eyebrow.
"This card can negate the effect of one Monster on the field." Fujiwara Yusuke coldly negated the effect of Chlamydosundew.
This was the "Infinite Impermanence" he should have used during his first turn, but he had just reversed time, preventing him from activating Infinite Impermanence in his first turn, saving it for this moment.
Of course, as a cost, Tenjo Hikari had managed to search for an Invocation in the first turn—but it didn't matter, as he still had an Invocation in his hand at that time.
