"These humans should be under the influence of the darkness, right?" Tenjo Hikari casually asked Tierra.
"Most likely," she responded.
Some urged him to surrender quickly, others suggested negotiating with the enemy about preserving some humans, and some were still questioning his duel.
In short, there were various types.
"They're all fools—" Manjome was somewhat angry.
"Hey, relax, trust Hikari-san," Amon said, "Those people are just completely ignorant about dueling. No need to take them seriously."
Tenjo Hikari didn't rush into the duel. After drawing his card, he gently tapped his forehead, listened to the surrounding sounds, and waited for the voices to gradually fade from bickering to anger to bewildered silence. Then he spoke softly, "I don't care about your opinions."
"I am not Judai!"
With its opening cold remarks, he seemed completely unlike the "Minister of Fusion" everyone knew—the warm-hearted, friendly minister of the Fusion Department.
But—
This was him!
"My duel, my life, my future, it only cares about one thing, which is [Polymerization]!"
Silence.
Dead silence.
"Regardless of who it is, if anyone denies Polymerization, I won't pay attention!"
"Moreover... Do you really think Judai didn't achieve anything?"
Tenjo Hikari squinted his eyes, looking at the darkness: "Darkness, let me tell you, it won't even reach the 20th turn!"
"What did you say?"
"Is this guy crazy? He can't deal damage to the opponent right now—"
"If a Mischief of the Time Goddess is activated next turn, we're done for."
"Well, I'll have to come back as an animal in the next life!"
"Hey... Romeo, see you in the next life..."
"No."
Tenjo Hikari casually interrupted them.
"That will never happen."
?
"Mischief of the Time Goddess, skips phases, skips turns. And... [Final Countdown] must only be processed at the end of the 20th turn starting from the first turn to win.
If he uses Mischief of the Time Goddess next turn, after my turn ends, it would enter his turn, losing my [End Phase]... He wouldn't be able to use Final Countdown's effect to win!
So, he could only activate Mischief of the Time Goddess on the previous turn!"
Is there really such a thing?
Many people belatedly and confusedly understood.
There was another thing Tenjo Hikari didn't explain.
Which is, the duel had already [turned] from the previous turn.
M.B tactics.
One of the enduring deck types in Yu Gi Oh, using effects of Monsters, Trap Card effects, to stall and restrict, then engage in resource exchange to win.
This kind of tactic has a fatal flaw, which is, although each card appears to be highly effective, it is actually one less card after each use. Therefore, Darkness needs to use support cards like "Time-Tearing Morganite" and also carries a lot of draw support cards.
Because he truly lacks cards.
But Tenjo Hikari is different from Judai.
Their decks, besides "Mirage of Nightmare," have many search points and draw points; this deck type is developed.
Through development, resources are utilized, powerful cards can even go through all the cards in the deck, to exert the effects of each card, characterized by being stuck and immobilized if hindered.
But...
If there are no hindrances, then the resources are entirely on a different level when unimpeded!
After rounds of resource exchanges, the darkness's cards are indeed sufficient to handle most things, but the cards are still continuously consumed.
To others, the recent attack seemed like an absolute moment of despair, from heaven to hell. But for Tenjo Hikari, that was the last "measure" of darkness, which implies darkness has no other solution but to rely on Red Lotus Monsters to harm Tenjo Hikari and the others, or to stall through the last few turns. If so, then the next steps are very simple.
"Resource competition has reached this point, but precisely because it has come to this point, I clearly know what to do next—darkness, in your duel, there is no steel-like will and iron spirit, only the obsession with killing the opponent!
Your duel has too many, too obvious flaws!
Let me show you the duel between me and Judai—
Activate Set Card, Chain Material!"
"During the turn this card is activated, in your Fusion Summon phase, you can banish Fusion Material determined by the Fusion Monster Card from your hand card, deck, or graveyard and use these cards as Fusion Material. During the turn this card is activated, you cannot attack, and monsters Fusion Summoned by this effect will be destroyed at the end phase!"
"Eh?"
"Don't tell me, this is going to..." Manjome opened his mouth wide.
He realized what Tenjo Hikari was about to do.
Judai cheerfully gave him a thumbs up, indicating to Tenjo Hikari.
He already experimented with all possible traps, next, it's time for Tenjo's performance.
"Activate Set Card, Spell Card, Fusion Substitute!"
"I banish Cyber Dragon, Ancient Gear Golem, X-Head Cannon from the deck to Fusion Summon, LV 10, Cyber Eternity Dragon!"
The golden mechanical dragon circled the field, shining exceptionally brightly.
"It's a Fusion Monster of Cyber Dragon that has never been seen before!"
