Eleven.

Disc, Demonic Nature, Blood Demon-D, Doctrine, Drill, Denial, Explosives, Self-improvement, Bionics, Gravity, Sky. At this moment in the Aid Cemetery, there are a total of eleven [Hero] cards including [D·hero], [V·hero], and [E·hero].

[D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] appeared again with the will of his companions in the cemetery and transformed this power into actual oppression. A raging fire burned on his body and at the same time continuously evaporated the surrounding water - above the sea, [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] evaporated a piece of open space with his own power!

The power of eleven [Hero] cards represents a 2200-point reduction in attack power. In just a moment, the attack power of the two monsters on Kajiki Yuta's field dropped sharply due to the reduction of water around them!
[Legendary Fisherman III] [ATK 2700→500]

[Fortress Whale] [ATK 2550 → 350]

The two monsters that were so arrogant just now suddenly became weak creatures that could be easily defeated by [V·hero Toxic Man] with only 900 attack points!

However, it is not enough. If the effect of [D·hero Doctrine] had worked once before, it would have been enough, but now Kajiki Yuta's basic points are still the original 4000 points, and Ed still needs more power to defeat his opponent!
"Next, I banish [D·hero Demon Man] from my Graveyard to activate its effect, and Special Summon a second [D·hero Demon Man] from my Deck." Taking out the retrieved card and placing it on the Duel Board, Ed didn't care about the attack power of the two monsters on Kajiki Yuta's field, which had slightly recovered due to the reduction in the number of [Hero] cards in his Graveyard, but played another card, "Then I activate the magic card, [Phantom Fusion]!"

A rather creepy-looking [Phantom Fusion] consisting of two pale skulls spinning around unfolded on the field of Ed. He said, "Just like [Fusion Fate] is a fusion magic card exclusively for [D·hero], [Phantom Fusion] is also a [Fusion] exclusively for [V·hero]."

"This card allows me to send the Fusion Material Monsters determined by the [Hero] Fusion Monster from my hand or field to the Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from the Fusion Deck. And when the Fusion Material Monsters are used as Continuous Trap Cards in my Magic Trap Zone, I can banish up to two of them as Fusion Materials."

Taking up the [D·hero Demon Man] that he had just Special Summoned and the [V·hero Increment Man] whose effect had been negated on the back field, Ed took out a Fusion Monster Card with a purple border: "Heroes who abuse the world with evil, heroes who multiply phantom pains, now unite as one, become noble preachers, and bring the gospel to this land!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 8☆!"

"Bow down! [V·hero worshiper]!"

With her muscular arms folded across her chest, [V·Hero Worshiper] smashed the two skulls that formed [Phantom Fusion] that were blocking her way, and landed on Ed's field. Her long skirt and shawl fluttered, revealing the armor she was wearing underneath. Her overall image was like a taciturn ninja, or a fanatic who disdained to communicate with pagans.

【V·Hero worshiper】【8☆/Dark】

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[2800/2100]

Compared to [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man], [V·hero Worship Man] is even higher. Although [V·hero Increment Man] was excluded and did not enter Ed's graveyard, [D·hero Demon Man] made up for the number of [Hero] cards in the graveyard that were missing in order to special summon itself, making the attack power of the two monsters on Kajiki Yuta's field remain unchanged, with one increasing and one decreasing.

Strictly speaking, the current Ed already has the ability to break through the monsters placed on the field by Kajiki Yuta head-on and clear out their basic points in one fell swoop, but when he looked at the last card in Kajiki Yuta's hand, he remembered his previous [D·hero Dynamite].

Also, although I haven't seen Kajiki Yuta use the card [Underwater Assault] very often, I always feel that the effect of this card should not be limited to this. It is better to summon more monsters just in case.

——But even so, because of the previous [Wrath of the Sea Dragon], there is only one empty space left on Ed's field. He does have a monster card [D·hero Divine Man] in his remaining three cards, but Ed's Normal Summon this turn has been used on the previous [D·hero Drill Man], so he cannot summon it even if he wants to.

However, there is still a [D·hero Demon] in his deck. By banishing the second [D·hero Demon] in the graveyard, he can Special Summon the third one. Although its attack power is only 800 points, not as good as [V·hero Poison Man], at least it can attack and deal some damage - just like Kajiki Yuta used [Dream Shark] to attack him directly before.

Thinking of this, Ed also took out [D·hero Demon] from the graveyard and said, "I will activate the effect of [D·hero Demon] again and banish it. I will Special Summon the third [D·hero Demon] in my deck in Attack Position on my field!"

[D·hero Demon Man][ATK800]

At the same time as [D·hero Demon Man] appeared, the attack power of the monsters on Kajiki Yuta's field was slightly restored due to the decrease in the number of [Hero] cards in Ed's Graveyard.

[Kajiki Yuta: 4000LP, hand 1]

[Legendary Fisherman III] [ATK 500→700]

[Fortress Whale] [ATK 350 → 550]

【Submarine Raid】

Venue: [Legendary City - Atlantis]

Although it recovered, it was not much. Even the attack of [Legendary Fisherman III] with the highest attack power was not as good as [D·hero Demon Man] with the lowest attack power. After checking the three cards in his hand, Ed said: "In my main phase, use the effect of [V·hero Worshiper]."

"Once per turn, you can activate this card by targeting a face-up monster on your opponent's field and a Hero monster on my field other than this card. The targets I choose are the Legendary Fisherman III on your opponent's field and the E-hero Destroyer Phoenix on my field." Ed pointed to Kajiki Yuta's field, "The attack and defense of the selected opponent's monster will be reduced by the attack value of the selected monster until the End Phase!"

"Gift of Worship!" Although [V·hero Worshiper] is not like the previous [V·hero Toxic Man] that does not have a target, because it selects more than one monster as a target at the same time, Kajiki Yuta's [Fortress Whale] on the field only has one target effect but Kang still has no chance to use it.

The Legendary Fisherman III, whose surrounding water was evaporated so dry that his mount could only flap its wings and use water splashing like a Carp King on land, was suddenly covered with flames from E-hero Destruction Phoenix Man. Although he was in a burning state and did not receive 1/16 of his maximum HP in damage per round, his attack power was indeed reduced by a lot, and his defense was even reduced like a certain group of Kamen.

[Legend of the Fisherman III] [700/2200→0/0]

Although it is well known that monsters with both 0 attack and defense are mostly monsters, the premise is that they are born with 0 attack and 0 defense. Those that are reduced to 0 after birth are nothing. It's like a crystal that only needs a slight attack to reach a height that a stringer will never reach in his lifetime.

Judging from the name, Ed suspected that the card [Underwater Assault] might have the ability to change a monster from attack position to defense position. What if he used [D·hero Demon] with lower attack power to attack [Legendary Fisherman III], but the opponent changed the position and used 800 attack points to deal with 2200 defense points, wouldn't his basic points be wiped out by the rebound damage?
Therefore, just reduce its attack and defense power to 0 first.

As for the [City Whale], there is nothing we can do but let [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] attack it.

"I enter the battle phase, and then use [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] to attack [Fortress Whale], and get rid of this monster with troublesome effects first!"

"Meteor Bomb Phoenix Miracle!"

As the name suggests, unlike Judai who likes to watch life-size special effects such as "Masked Rider", Ed may prefer giant special effects films such as "Giant Mountain Superpower". Under Ed's command, [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] also began his attack, targeting [Fortress Whale] which now has only 550 attack points.

The flying [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] seemed to have turned into a small sun hanging in the air, and the high heat gathered in front of him, but because of the acceleration of particles, it appeared as a large number of leaping lightning. Finally, it released a shining charged ion beam to attack the [City Whale]. It seemed that the current on it was at least 100 million volts.

If this attack hits, it will cause up to 1950 points of combat damage to Kajiki Yuta's basic points, which can reduce his basic points to just over half. It is really fierce!
However, facing the incoming attack, Kajiki Yuta shook his head and said with a look of regret: "How impatient! Seeing victory seemingly within reach, you are so happy that you can't wait to attack. You are happy just by looking at it."

"But I don't know what's under the abyss, and I didn't sense the danger hidden in the water." Without playing the card in his hand, Kajiki Yutai pointed to the only continuous trap card [Underwater Assault] on his backfield and said, "Before, I used the effect of [Underwater Assault] to banish [Spiral Dragon], but I didn't say that [Underwater Assault] can only obtain that one effect when [Sea] exists."

"When there is a Sea on the field, the second effect of [Underwater Assault] is: At the start of the damage calculation step when my Water monster that was originally Level 5☆ or higher battles with an opponent's monster, activate it and destroy that opponent's monster!"

"Also, this effect is not limited to once per round!"

"What?!" Ed's eyes suddenly widened. He thought that [Underwater Surprise Attack] might correspond to the "Fisherman" behavior of capturing the opponent's monster as an equipment card, temporarily banishing it to avoid the storm, and increasing attack power to correspond to "surprise attack", but who would have guessed that its effect would be to unconditionally destroy monsters fighting against high-level water monsters? !
What does this correspond to? Could it be that the fisherman can't catch too powerful sea creatures? What kind of cheating effect is this? Could it be that you saw that there are not many monsters with resistance in the [Hero] family! ?

"Whether it's [Fortress Whale], [Legendary Fisherman III], or [Spiral Dragon] that was banished this turn, even after being lowered by [Legendary City - Atlantis], they are still Water monsters above Level 5☆. Moreover, [Underwater Assault] only requires the original level. Doesn't that mean that monsters without effects that destroy resistance are not even qualified to fight them!"

Ed looked at the attack of [D·hero Destroyer Phoenix] that was about to hit [Fortress Whale], "Unfortunately, [Underwater Assault] had already gained a layer of protection by excluding [Spiral Dragon] before [D·hero Destroyer Phoenix] appeared. It can't be destroyed by any of my effects this turn. The same is true for [Legendary City - Atlantis]. I can't solve the problem by destroying [Underwater Assault]."

"But even so, there is still a chance!" Ed said, waving his hand, "Although you explained the effect in advance, it is only the attack declaration of my [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] now, and it is not yet the damage calculation step. Before that opportunity comes, I will activate the effect of my [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] one step ahead and select one card on my field and one card on the field to destroy!"

"Do I need to remind you again? Because of the effect of [Underwater Assault], [Legendary City - Atlantis] whose card name is considered [Sea] and [Underwater Assault] will not be destroyed by any of your effects this turn." Kajiki Yuta heard what Ed said and said with a disdainful smile, "And my [Legendary Fisherman III] will not be affected by the effects of Spell/Trap Cards, and will not be destroyed by battles or effects."

"Then I'll destroy [Fortress Whale]. It doesn't have any resistance to destruction, right?" Ed said, but he didn't start processing the effect of [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man], and he didn't even start selecting the target of the effect - after all, it is different from other cards. [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] starts selecting the card to be destroyed after the effect starts to be processed.

Ed pulled a card from his hand and said, "Before the effect of [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] begins to process, I must first activate this quick-attack magic card in my hand - [Instant Fusion]!"

"Rather than letting your [Underwater Assault] destroy it, I'd rather send [D-hero Destruction Phoenix Man] to the graveyard as fusion material!"

"I will use the [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] and [D·hero Demon Man] on my field as fusion materials. The fusion material requirements are - [D·hero] Fusion Monster plus [D·hero] Monster!"

Taking down the two monster cards on the Duel Disk, and at the cost of allowing the monsters on Kajiki Kyouta's field to recover some of their attack power, Ed took out a Fusion Monster Card with a purple border, "Hero who abuses the world with evil, hero of the phoenix with an immortal will, now unite as one, and reign over the utopia at dusk!"

"Fusion Summon, Level 10☆!"

In fact, most of the [D·hero]s follow an implicit naming rule, that is, there must be a "D" in the name, such as [D·hero Dreamer] is "Dream", [D·hero Diablo] is "Diablo", [D·hero Dagger] is "Dagger", and the [D·hero] that is currently fused with Ed is no exception.

The name of this card is a combination of the words "Dusk" which means dusk and "Utopia" which means ideal country. "Dusktopia" means -

"Come On! Perfect conclusion——"

Ed placed the card on the duel disk, and at the same time, a warrior wearing a perfect golden armor landed on Ed's field under the power of [Instant Fusion], and Ed shouted his name loudly.
"【D·hero Utopia】!" (End of this chapter)
