Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The HERO and Dragon Overkill

"Fusion? A brat from Sector 32 knows how to use Fusion?" "Does he think he can just throw two monsters together? He's mocking the Eva System!"

In this world, you couldn't just use Fusion; you needed the right "Recipe" and the recognition of the AI. But Zero was a veteran. He had the recipes burned into his brain.

"I fuse Elemental HERO Burstinatrix and Elemental HERO Avian!"

Anyone who had seen the first episode of GX knew what these two made. But Zero noticed something Rutz had said: "The one who inherits the power of the three gods." In the real game, Gate Guardian was a "Vanilla" monster with no effects. But in the anime, it could reduce an attacker's ATK to 0 three times. If Zero summoned Flame Wingman, he'd lose.

Luckily, he had the entire Dragon Extra Deck.

"I'll show you that the fusion of weak monsters can transcend the limits of Level! From the primordial breath, roar with the power to shatter mountains! Fusion Summon—First of the Dragons!"

First of the Dragons [Level 9 / Dark] [Dragon / Fusion / Effect] [ATK: 2700 / DEF: 2000]

The massive dragon erupted from the cage, its presence far outstripping the anime's scale. The crowd was stunned. He turned HEROes into a Dragon?

Rutz: "2700 Attack? It's still no match for Gate Guardian's 3750!"

"Is that so? Attack, First of the Dragons!"

Zero's dragon charged the Guardian.

"Foolish!" Rutz roared. "Gate Guardian's effect! I reduce your monster's Attack to 0!"

Zero smiled. "Roar—!!"

The dragon tore right through the Guardian's elemental shield. "First of the Dragons cannot be destroyed by battle with anything except a Normal Monster, and it is unaffected by other monster effects!"

Gate Guardian's effect failed. Rutz was horrified. "Even so, my Guardian has more Attack!"

"Are you sure?" Zero flipped his last card. "Trap Card—Rising Energy, activate! By discarding one monster from my hand, the target monster's Attack decreases by the Attack of the discarded monster!"

The difference was 1050.

"Does he have it?" You gripped his seat. Even Finis was praying out loud. "1050! Please have it!"

"You're thinking too small, Miss Finis!"According to the effect of the Trap card Hidden Strategy, Amano Zero discarded an unknown monster card from his hand into the Graveyard.

"The one I'm taking down isn't just Gate Guardian!"

In the next moment, a dual dragon roar echoed across the arena. Swirling around Amano Zero and following in the wake of the First of the Dragons was the dazzling, radiant halo of a pure white dragon soul.

"Bounty Hunter Rutz, this strike is taking you with it!"

"I discard a monster from my hand!"

"Lower the Attack of Gate Guardian by 3,000 points!"

If you were to ask what monster Amano Zero discarded, it was, of course, the King of Vanilla! The Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the ultimate engine of destruction that could crush any opponent. It was the single strongest card in Zero's Main Deck, possessing the 3,000 Attack Points that served as the universal benchmark for power.

Did you really think being a "benchmark" was just for show?

That was 3,000 Attack Points!

Gate Guardian [ATK: 3750 - 3000 → 750]

Stripped of 3,000 Attack Points by the combination of Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Hidden Strategy, the mighty Gate Guardian was reduced to the kind of "junk" that Rutz despised most.

When 2,700 Attack clashes with 750, the resulting battle damage is 1,950 points.

"Crush this piece of junk that calls itself a god! Go, First of the Dragons!"

Using a HERO's fusion to guide the way to victory, the ancient and pure white dragon souls intertwined, forging Zero's finishing blow. It swallowed the opposing monster and the duelist himself.

"—Incinerate: Primordial Hellfire!"

[Gate Guardian] destroyed.

Rutz: "AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!"

The intense physical feedback sent Rutz's massive frame hurtling out of the iron cage.

[Rutz LP: 1800 - 1950 → 0] [Duel Over. Winner: Amano Zero!] [Rutz: Status Unknown.]

Having secured his victory, Amano Zero mimicked the signature pose of a certain HERO protagonist. He held up two fingers toward the stunned Finis in the stands.

"I won!"

I really can't bring myself to deceive a woman.

[Finis Favorability +20]
