"The effect of Predaplant Chlamydosundew requires itself to be used as Fusion Material to perform a fusion, and since it was destroyed, it cannot fuse."
Although Tenjo Hikari was caught off guard, he didn't panic and instead calmly raised a card.
"I activate the Continuous Spell, Scatter Fusion. It can be activated when the opponent has a monster on the field. Fusion Material decided for a non-Rock-Type 'Gem-Knight' Fusion Monster Card is sent from my deck to the Graveyard, and I perform a Fusion Summon of a Fusion Monster."
"Directly fusing a monster from the deck? It's indeed quite powerful." Divine still wore a confident yet friendly smile as he commented to Tenjo Hikari, "But such a strong effect must come with a cost, right?"
"As the cost for activation after this effect, until the end phase, non-'Gem-Knight' monsters cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck."
Divine smiled confidently.
So that's how it is. No wonder he summoned the Chlamydosundew first because if you don't fuse first, after activating this card, you can't fuse that Predaplant again, right?
"I send Gem-Knight Tourmaline and Gem-Knight Crystal from the deck to the Graveyard to perform a Fusion Summon." Tenjo Hikari wasn't polite, happily summoning his classic monster.
Gem-Knight Prismaura!
Captain Crystal stands on the earth of the S Dimension!
Gem-Knight Prismaura, LV 7, Earth Attribute, Thunder-Type, ATK 2450.
"Prismaura attacks Hyper Psychic Riser."
Captain Crystal aimed his shield at the Riser, tossed the shield, and with a swing, sent the two wheels flying. In the next moment, Riser couldn't maintain balance and crashed down, shattering into pieces.
Divine, LP: 4000→3550.
"Are there really no traps?" Carly looked at Jack in confusion, and Jack shook his head, indicating he didn't understand either.
"Activate Hyper Psychic Riser's Monster Effect. When this card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, it can target 1 Tuner Monster and 1 non-Tuner Monster with the same Attribute and Type from the Graveyard. Those monsters are added to the hand.
Earth Attribute, Psychic-Type, Psi-Beast and Psychic Wheeleder."
He casually picked up the cards from the Graveyard.
"I see, creating an obstructing monster in the first turn, and even if that monster is destroyed, you can use that monster's effect to recover Synchro Materials from the Graveyard for retuning."
Jack thought, finding this tactic simple, but still somewhat useful, especially in combination with Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit for obstruction, allowing for a sustained fight.
So… what about those three Set Cards?
Tenjo Hikari glanced at the cards on his left, with interest drew three cards, and placed them in the Set Zone.
"Then… I'll Set three cards and end the turn."
"Heh heh heh, is that all?" Divine shook his head, "That's why I say, you're quite lacking."
"Lacking? I merely did the same thing as you."
"It's alright, young one, you just don't understand me." Divine didn't respond to Tenjo Hikari, instead declaring, "As someone who can embrace Dimension Travel and participated in the Friendship Cup as a Duelist, your talent should be considerable; you just don't understand our pursuit.
In that case, how about in this duel, listen to us explain, and walk towards a bright future together!"
He was well-dressed, spoke elegantly, acted gracefully, and his words were generous and impassioned. If he were talking to some naïve Rose Witch, it might really work, but clearly, Tenjo Hikari wasn't buying it. He simply crossed his arms and acted like he didn't hear a thing.
"Heh heh…" Divine's face was beginning to falter.
Despite all the smooth talk, Tenjo Hikari remained expressionless, making him lose interest in performing further.
"Hmph, my turn, draw—"
He drew a card, glanced at it, and his mouth twitched downward.
Though he had been training Telekinesis, he wasn't actually the "genius" he boasted about. He had deceived a few true "geniuses" before but either they died or they left before he could "use" them.
"Activate the Trap Card, Psychic Trigger!"
He raised his left hand, closed his eyes, and focused. Beside him, a giant man-made "Archfiend" began to lowly roar.
Countless black smoke rose from his body, eerie green lightning started flashing.
He sneered, eyes glowing.
The previous cries from children abruptly stopped; evidently, the intense burden had caused quite a few to faint directly.
Seeing this, Jack's pupils contracted, and he silently began to crawl in another direction.
"Jack?!" Carly didn't understand what Jack was up to or why he was leaving without watching the duel, but seeing Jack leave, she didn't question, and followed without hesitation.
"Activate when your LP is lower than your opponent's. Banish two Psychic monsters in your Graveyard, then draw two cards!"
He flipped through his Graveyard, directly banishing Hyper Psychic Riser and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, then drew two cards.
Looking at the cards he drew, his expression instantly improved significantly.
Indeed, this power is indeed the genuine article!
Having this power, becoming a true [God], surpassing everything, is absolutely not a problem!
"Then, I'm not done yet—"
"Activate the Trap Card, Bright Future!"
