Drowning Mirror Force!
Hanno's supreme power—the ripple version!
Unlike the direct explosive force of "Mirror Force," the wave force, commonly known among players as "Water Shield," is a derivative type of the Shield Card Deck series. Although the activation conditions for wave force are more stringent than "Mirror Force," its field-clearing ability is even more astonishing.
Neither targeting nor effect destruction, the wave water shield's "send all back to the deck" effect can almost clear away ninety percent of the big shots!
A sacred blue light enveloped the entire field, the energy transformed into substantial waves, and the three Vision Heroes on Ed's field were successively sent back to the deck!
Ed clenched his teeth tightly.
He really didn't anticipate the wave water shield. Even if the opponent used traps like "Mirror Force" to blow up all his three Vision Heroes, as long as he took damage, the Vision Heroes in the graveyard could jump back to the field infinitely, which was quite a valuable resource.
But being sent back to the deck means the resources of these three cards have essentially become a loss.
Manjome looked at the Supreme King before him and couldn't help but squint slightly.
To counterattack to such an extent...
"Then my Battle Phase ends, but my turn isn't over yet," Ed said deeply. "Activate the effect of the Magic Card 'Fusion Substitute' in the graveyard to return a Fusion Monster from the graveyard to the deck and draw a card.
I return 'Destiny Hero Dystopia' from the graveyard to the deck and draw a card."
Next, he immediately revealed the card he drew.
"Magic Card 'Legacy of a Hero'! When there are two or more Hero Monsters of level four or above in the graveyard, draw three cards!" (Original effect)
His hand was replenished again, and when he saw one of the cards he drew, his eyes couldn't help but flash.
It was the card his father had just given him during their last meeting, representing a qualitative leap in the Destiny Hero series.
Ed looked at the card in his hand, then at the familiar yet unfamiliar face across from him, and made up his mind.
With this card given by his father, this deck... no matter what, Judai must be brought back!
"Magic Card 'Fusion Destiny'!" Ed shouted, "This card can fuse my Destiny Heroes from the deck!"
Manjome's eyelid twitched.
Fusing from the deck!?
Isn't that just like Judai's 'Neos Fusion'?
Ed's gaze was firm.
I will follow in your footsteps, Judai! I will prove that what you can do... I can do as well!
"Send 'Destiny Hero Decider' and 'Destiny Hero Drawhand' from the deck to the graveyard for a fusion summon!
In the convergence of fate, reappear once more—
—Destiny Hero Dystopia!"
Two beams of light converged, golden energy released explosively. The Destiny Hero, whose visor bore the "D," made its reappearance.
[Destiny Hero Dystopia, Attack Power 2800]
"This Destiny Hero summoned by this effect will self-destruct at the end of the next turn," Ed said, and upon activating this card, I can only special summon Dark Attribute Monsters this turn."
After a pause, Ed switched his focus and another card bounced out from the graveyard.
"Next, activate the effect of 'Destiny Hero Malicious' in the graveyard again! Banish itself from the game, and special summon the third Malicious from the deck!"
[Destiny Hero Malicious, Defense Power 800]
"Then set three cards face-down, end my turn!"
At the end of turn phase, the effect of "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" ended, returning "Evil Hero Infernal Sniper" to the Supreme King's field.
Manjome secretly admired him.
To still call back the ace Monster to stand on the field in this state, while also setting up such a defense...
No wonder he could compete with me for the position of Judai's arch rival.
"My turn, draw a card."
The Supreme King remained indifferent, seemingly unable to let extraordinary performances bring him even the slightest ripple.
"At the moment of the readiness phase, the effect of 'Evil Hero Infernal Sniper' activates," the Supreme King said coldly, "Deals 1000 damage to the opponent.
Hell Shot."
The Evil Hero raised its arm equipped with a blade, its palm opened, and a jet-black energy ball slammed like a bomb!
The oppressive and terrifying energy cannon roared forward, and Manjome was already bracing himself for impact when he heard Ed say, "Then at this moment, the effect of 'Destiny Hero Decider' in the graveyard activates!
This card's presence in the graveyard, when a magic, trap, or Monster effect that inflicts damage activates, returns Decider in the graveyard to the hand, turning that effect's damage to 0!"
The card popped out from the graveyard and Ed reclaimed it. Simultaneously, Decider's image appeared, spreading its arms and releasing an indestructible barrier to block Infernal Sniper's attack.
Manjome breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the card "Fusion Destiny" sent from the deck earlier... Impressive, even having prepared such a defense mechanism...
Ojama Yellow popped back up: "Ed is so strong, what a reliable teammate, right big brother..."
"Shut up!" Manjome snapped impatiently, "This should be expected, shouldn't it? It's just okay at best!"
Ojama Yellow: "Big brother is as contradictory as ever..."
The Evil Hero's sniping failed, the preparatory phase ended, and the Supreme King's main phase commenced.
The Supreme King coldly revealed a card from his hand: "Field Magic 'Supreme King Castle'!"
The terrain started to shift, Ed and Manjome felt the ground beneath them rumbling as if it began to move. A towering castle reached the sky, eerie purple lightning illuminated the stormy sky.
The two combatants stood on either side of the bridge before the castle gates, karmic fire rose from beneath the bridge, burning with seemingly endless skeletal remains.
"While 'Supreme King Castle' exists in the field, Evil Heroes that can only be summoned by 'Dark Fusion' can replace 'Dark Fusion' by other fusions to be summoned."
"Magic Card 'O - Oversoul,' revive the 'Elemental Hero' normal Monster from the graveyard. Return, Clayman."
The junior Elemental Hero with the strongest defense appeared on the field, but like the previous Heat Maiden, this righteous Hero now looked equally eerie, surrounded by dark energy.
[Elemental Hero Clayman, Defense Power 2000]
"The effect of 'Return of the Different Dimension' allows me to draw three cards."
The Supreme King drew three cards and immediately revealed one of them.
"From my hand, activate 'Dark Fusion' again. Fuse 'Elemental Hero Clayman' and 'Elemental Hero Sparkman'!
With hell's thunder, crush all enemies—
—Evil Hero Lightning Golem!"
The fusion of Sparkman and Clayman, dark vortices erupted in the sky. The clouds were stirred into swirling whirlpools, and purple lightning struck upon the bridge, the armored, demon-like Dark Hero landed heavily on the ground, surrounded by purple electric snakes.
[Evil Hero Lightning Golem, Attack Power 2400]
Another Evil Hero...
Ed held his breath.
This time, it's the evil version of the Thunder Giant?
