"So, as long as you put this card in the deck, you can definitely disrupt your strategy."
A blue girl knelt before Darkness, and a holy blue dragon illuminated blue waves, instantly shattering the cards Tenjo Hikari had activated.
The three Ojama Monsters preparing to pull out robots from Tenjo Hikari's deck were instantly frozen.
Tenjo Hikari's hand paused for a moment, speechless.
Even Dominus Impulse is in play.
The spirits of the three Ojama Monsters were swept away by the blue waves, shouting "Big Bro!!!" Clearly they feared Manjome blaming them.
But at this time, Manjome had no thoughts of blaming them or joking, and he stared at the scene dumbfounded.
"Dominus Impulse??"
"Wow, that's a powerful effect."
"But—why activate it from the hand?"
"Indeed, this card could have been set face-down, right?"
There's no need to activate it from the hand at all!
Since Darkness still has spell and trap zones to use, he could have set this card face-down, thus nullifying Tenjo Hikari's fusion.
This card's application range is enormous, and Darkness surely knows this, since Tenjo Hikari's deck focuses mainly on fusion, with normal summons being rare. In such circumstances, this "Dominus Impulse" can manage all of Tenjo Hikari's actions.
But, since Darkness took the first turn, he could very well have set it face-down, there's no need to impose a "DeBuff" on himself, right?
"Human life, human dignity, human history, begin to diverge in various directions under the influence of countless unique, distinctive, unusual, and different humans.
Distinctiveness is humanity's advantage, and also the reason humanity cannot consistently head towards the same conclusion.
In my world, there's no need for beings with distinctive traits."
Darkness spoke gently.
A group of people stared at him, dumbstruck.
Simply because of such a reason, he actively abandoned the effects of attribute monsters?
"Oh no..." But, there are those who reacted quickly and didn't care nor were swayed by Darkness' own philosophies and ideas.
Ed, slightly bowing his head, pinched his chin, his expression serious: "Once Dominus Impulse is activated, darkness [that side] can no longer activate the effects of Light Attribute, Earth Attribute, and Wind Attribute.
Amano-Iwato is...Earth Attribute."
Amano-Iwato is indeed Earth Attribute!
Deliberate!!!
"I see..." John also belatedly understood, a look of realization on his face, "Everything was part of a plan even before the Duel began.
Since a tag duel favored by the spirits is adopted, both duelists share life points, fields, and graveyards, with separate extra zones and hand cards only in their turns.
In addition, any effect activated by either party that lasts until the next turn targets the opponent, not oneself.
If it's a 2V2 four-person, four-field duel, after activating Dominus Impulse, only one clone would fail to activate effects, and darkness itself could still use effects, but this would be strategically unfavorable.
The goal is to prevent monsters like Amano-Iwato from activating effects!"
"This guy, he planned all of this from the start!"
Several students who understood later exchanged glances, feeling that their understanding of the duel had grown.
But, the next question is—what to do?
Tenjo Hikari didn't succeed in Special Summoning the three ABC Monsters, couldn't combine to form ABC-Dragon Buster, and the hand card was wasted. How to deal with Amano-Iwato.
The crowd watched the duel increasingly tense.
Tenjo Hikari looked at his hand card.
He pondered and contemplated.
With his current hand, seeking victory directly through battle is impossible, fusing before entering the battle phase would inevitably waste some monsters' effects.
This is a scenario he doesn't want to see.
If ensuring speed cannot be guaranteed, it's better to ensure resource circulation as much as possible.
The good news is...since Darkness has already activated Dominus Impulse, there's no fear of darkness suddenly discarding [Ace Monster] Maxx "C".
So, should he activate the effect of Ojamassimilation in the graveyard, return the three banished Ojama Monsters to the deck, and draw a card?
Tenjo Hikari looked at the Fusion Spell in his hand, feeling it was not quite right.
More importantly, dealing with Amano-Iwato is crucial...
In that case...
"Activate the Spell Card, Primite Fusion!"
"Wow, it's a brand-new kind of fusion!" Serena exclaimed excitedly.
"Another new fusion?" Yubel looked and murmured to herself.
She had already learned from Judai that Tenjo Hikari actually had the card "Eternal Favorite," and for this reason, she gradually realized, this person she previously thought was purely a "fusion fanatic," might be even crazier than imagined.
"The effect of Primite Fusion is to return Monsters, including Normal Monsters, in the field, graveyard, and banished state to the deck as Fusion Material to Fusion Summon one Dragon-Type Fusion Monster."
Tenjo Hikari picked up the banished Ojama Green and Ojama Black, then said, "I use these two cards to return to the deck and perform a Dragon-Type Fusion Summon!"
"Fusion Conditions are two Normal Monsters!"
"Fusion Summon, LV 9, First of the Dragons!"
A whirlwind blew past, and the two Ojama Monsters, grinning widely, shouted goodbye to Tenjo Hikari. Following that, a dragon covered in spikes emerged before Tenjo Hikari.
First of the Dragons, LV 9, Dark Attribute, Dragon-Type, Attack Power 2700.
"Magnificent!"
"Banished fusion, marvelous!"
"Who would have thought, even in such circumstances, Tenjo-san found a chance to counterattack."
