Chapter 1620: The Sword is Thick and the Tomb is Thin
"[D·hero Ruler]!"

[D·hero Ruler] [10☆/Dark]

[Warrior/Fusion/Effect]

[2900/2600]

Saiou's future vision became clear again. The scene he saw was that without another Saiou behind him, Ed drew the cards [Great Storm Sword] and [Instant Fusion]. He then used [Great Storm Sword] to equip [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] to destroy all the magic and trap cards on the field, and then used [Instant Fusion] to Fusion Summon [V·hero Trinity] during the battle phase, trying to clear his basic points with three punches with 5000 attack points.

However, at this moment, Ed used a [Demon King of the Swamp] to search for [Displacement Fusion], and Fusion Summoned [D·Hero Ruler] whom he had never seen before. What kind of a wad is this!?

“It’s not [V·hero three persons], but [D·hero ruler]!?” Saiou Takuma looked at the scene he saw in his future vision and it changed again. His expression was distorted. He knew that with the participation of another self, the future he saw might no longer be credible. “How on earth did you——No, there is no point in saying this now.”

"No matter what effect your [D·hero Ruler] has, it's meaningless, because even if it's 'not affected by other card effects', it's useless, because my [Light Barrier] was activated first, and when it appeared on the field, [D·hero Ruler]'s resistance hadn't taken effect yet, it was already invalidated!"

However, Ed didn't pay attention to Saiou Takuma, but looked at the tall [D·hero Ruler] on his field, whose size was not much different from the [D·hero Fearer] that Ed had summoned before. However, compared to his fierce armor and exaggerated cape that was somewhat similar to the circle shape on the back of [Mystic Force EX-Chaos Ruler], the most eye-catching thing was the huge and heavy weapon in his hand.

If it was a sword, it was too big. It was huge, broad, heavy, and square, like a huge block of iron; but if it was a tombstone, it was too thin.

"The berserker who fought against fate to the end and became fate, this is the [Hero] that Saiou and I nurtured together. This is not the [V·Hero] born under false peace of mind, but the [D·Hero] who persists in fighting against fate and resists fate!"

As Ed spoke, he took out a card from the graveyard. It was the [Break Fate] card that Saiou had sent to the graveyard with [Knock Down] before: "Saiou Takuma, if you are the incarnation of fate, then [D·hero] is the [Hero] destined to defeat you. Use this 'fate' that you have created to break our fate!"

"The second effect of the Trap Card [Break Fate] is to banish this card from my Graveyard to activate it, and from my Deck, add a Spell/Trap Card with the card name of [Dragon Knight·D-END] or the card name of a [D·hero] monster other than [Break Fate] to my hand."

"The card I want to search for is this Field Magic Card with the name of [D-hero Fear Man], [Hell's Clock Tower]!"

(ps: animated version)

The effect of the Field Magic Card [Chronograph of Hell] is to place a [Clock Counter] on it during the opponent's preparation phase every turn. As the counters increase, the clock scale on the Clock Tower in the Field Magic Card will also move forward. When the clock reaches twelve o'clock, that is, after four [Clock Counters] are placed, its effect officially takes effect, and the controller will no longer receive battle damage. When it is destroyed and sent to the graveyard in this state, it can also Special Summon a [D·hero Horror] from the hand, deck, or graveyard.

It was because of this last effect that the search requirements of [Break Fate] were met, allowing Ed to add this [Hell's Clock Tower] from the deck to his hand. However, its formal effect, which takes time to take effect, is actually not very important to Ed at the moment. What is really important is that this card itself is a Field Magic Card, which is enough!

"The double monster effect blockade of [Light Barrier] and [Arcane Force EX - Chaos Ruler] is indeed quite powerful." Ed held the [Hell's Clock Tower] card and unfolded the field area of ​​the duel disk. "But, the real core lies in the existence of the Field Magic Card [Light Barrier]! As long as [Light Barrier] is gone, then this blockade will fall apart!"

"This white world is too dazzling. Let's go back to the quiet night once in a while. I activate the Field Spell Card [Hell's Clock Tower] to cover [Light Barrier]!"

Originally, even if Ed drew [Break Fate], he couldn't activate it because it was a Trap Card. He needed to find a way to throw it into the Graveyard to use its second effect. And because of the existence of [Light Barrier] and [Mystery Force EX-Chaos Ruler], Ed couldn't use the effect of [D·hero Fatalist] on the field, which allowed him to discard cards in his hand as Cost.

However, it was precisely Saiou's [Knock Down] that enabled Ed to directly activate the second effect of [Break Fate] without having to consider how to send it to the graveyard!

After the [Chronograph Tower of Hell] was activated, the [Barrier of Light] surrounding Ed and Saiou Takuma shattered, tall buildings rose from the ground, and an ancient clock tower stood behind Ed, turning the venue into a stage for the [D·hero]s to fight!
It is also because of the departure of [Light Barrier] that Ed's monsters are able to restore their respective effects. At the same time, the restriction of [Mystical Force EX-Chaos Ruler] that prevents Ed's monsters from activating their effects is also lifted!
"No, it's impossible! The future has changed in a direction I've never seen!" Seeing the [Light Barrier] broken, Saiou Takuma's mentality seemed to collapse a little, "Ed Phoenix, you bastard!"

"I'll say the same thing to you, Saiou Takuma. The battle with me is a contest of your ability to foresee the future. But obviously, you didn't foresee that this scene would appear in your destiny, right?" Ed sneered and raised the duel disk. "Then, do you want to take another look at what card is on the top of my deck?"

"Remember my [D. Hero Diamond Man]? This turn, I can use the effect of [Fate Draw] sent to the Graveyard by it during my Main Phase."

Originally, you need to discard a [D·hero] from your hand to activate [Fate Draw]. But when [D·hero Diamond Man] is sent to the graveyard, Ed can directly use the effect without paying the cost required to activate it. "In other words, draw two cards from your deck."

"Hmph, I won't let you interfere this time!" Saiou Takuma glared at the other Saiou behind Ed and said without hesitation, "This time, your fate of drawing cards has been determined, and the future can never be changed! I saw the two cards at the top of your deck!"

"Hehe, before searching for [Hell's Clock Tower], the cards at the top of your deck were [Lightning Strike] and [Instant Fusion]? What a pity, because when you searched for cards from your deck, your deck was shuffled once, and now the cards at the top of your deck have become Trap Cards [D-Tactics] and [Fate Fusion] that cannot be used directly."

"It seems that when it comes to the degree of being favored by fate, I am still better, Ed! Hehe, hehe, hahahaha!"

Saiou Takuma laughed confidently, and Saiou behind Ed nodded and said to Ed, "My future vision also shows those two cards."

"Is that so? This is our original destiny." But hearing this, Ed just smiled and said, "Well, as I said before, let's change our destiny, Saiou!"

"Huh, what nonsense are you talking about, Ed Phoenix? Even the monster behind you saw the same scene. As the fate of destruction approaches, my power and his are growing. Now we have locked the established future into a fate that will definitely come!"

Saiou Takuma taunted, laughing contemptuously, "The cards you will draw will only be [D-Tactics] and [Fate Fusion]. This is unquestionable and will never be shaken!"

"Soreiwadokanah!" Ed waved his hand and pointed at the [D·hero Ruler] on his field and said, "If fate is unshakable, then fate itself will overturn it. This is the cohesion of my and Saiou's will, the symbol of friendship, and the proof of our bond - the power of [D·hero Ruler]!"

"The first effect can only be activated during my main phase. Turn over the top five cards of my or my opponent's deck to confirm!"

Ed and the other Saiou behind him raised their hands to the sky and shouted in unison: "Stargazing!"

The trajectory of fate was revealed, and the cards above Ed's deck lit up. The first two cards that appeared were the [D-Tactics] and [Fate Fusion] that were predicted in advance by Saiou Takuma and the other Saiou!
"Heh, stupid effect. For ordinary people, it may be useful to be able to determine the future of both parties, but in this duel, is there any need to confirm the result that is already known?"

Saiou pondered, but Ed was talking to the other Saiou beside him: "I think this one will be better."

“Well, this one is also good.”

“It’s this one after all.”

Looking at Ed, Saiou Takuma had an annoyed expression: "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about in the duel? You're just looking at the cards on the top of the deck and thinking about something nonsense?"

"I'm not being ignorant. I'm writing the next destiny." Ed raised a finger and shook it. "Yes, writing destiny. I told you, the power of [D·hero Ruler] is the ability to subvert destiny."

"Confirming the five cards at the top of the deck is only the first stage of this effect. If you want to fight against fate, you must first become fate itself. But then, the most important thing is to change fate!"

Ed waved his hand and shouted, "My fate, and the fate of King Sai, will be changed by me!"

"Ask the sky for magic, see through the enemy's moves first!"

Following Ed's actions, Saiou saw that Ed's cards that were displayed actually began to change their order, and then returned to the deck! ?

"This is the second effect of Stargazing. It changes the fate of my next card draw. The revealed cards can be put back on top of the deck in the order I like!" Ed said, waving his hand. "Then, the ability of D. Hero Diamond Man that I used last turn. I use the effect of Fate Draw to draw two cards from the deck!"

"Draw!"

【爱德·菲尼克斯：2900LP，手牌2→1→2→1→3】

[D. Hero Ruler][ATK2900]

【D·hero】 【ATK2000】

[Dragon Knight·D-END] [ATK3000]

Backcourt: [D-Power] [Future Fusion] [V·Hero Increment]

Venue: [The Time Tower of Hell]

Seeing Ed draw a card again, Saiou Takuma found that no matter how much he gathered his strength, he could no longer see what card Ed had drawn. This was certainly because the [Light Barrier] was dispelled from his field, causing the power of "Light Fluctuation" to no longer be fully blessed on him, but more importantly, the power that should have been evenly divided between himself and the other Saiou actually got the upper hand this time and suppressed him! "What, can't you see the future, Saiou Takuma? Do you want to continue playing the guessing card game?" Shaking the card in his hand, Ed challenged Saiou Takuma.

"What are you so proud of, Ed Phoenix?" Saiou pondered, feeling somewhat helpless and furious at the moment. "Even if I let you break the blockade of the [Light Barrier], what does it matter? Now the attack power of the monsters on both sides is higher on my side, and I also have more basic points!"

"Soreiwadoka!" Interrupting Saiou Takuma again, Ed looked at the monsters on his field confidently, "Are you going to compete with me in attack power, with a Hero deck that's good at burst? Then, come on!"

"First, I will Release [Dragon Knight·D-END] on my field and Advanced Summon [D·Hero Twin]. This card can attack twice during one Battle Phase."

[D. Hero Twin] [6☆/Dark]

【Warrior/Effect】

[1000/1000]

By releasing the [Dragon Knight·D-END] with higher attack power, Ed summoned a "small fish monster" with only 1000 attack points. Its prototype can be clearly seen as Hyde & Jekyll in the classic novel "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll".

After a seemingly confusing operation, Ed sent another card from his hand to the Graveyard: "And, I use the effect of [D·hero Desperate Man] on the field again, discard a card in my hand to activate, send a [D·hero] from my deck to the Graveyard, and I choose [D·hero Devilman] from my deck."

After a pause, Ed raised the Duel Disk and pointed to the shining graveyard area of ​​Saiou. "Next, increase the attack power of the D·hero monsters on my field according to the number of D·hero monsters in my graveyard!"

There were originally six [D·hero] monsters in Ed's graveyard, but after using the effect of [D·hero Fatal Man] to send [D·hero Fear Man] and [D·hero Devil Man] in Ed's hand to the graveyard, the number of [D·hero] monsters in his graveyard is now eight. That is to say, the effect of [D·hero Fatal Man] will increase the attack power of the [D·hero]s on his field by a full 1600 points!
[Ed Phoenix: 2900LP, hand 3→2→1]

[D. Hero Ruler] [ATK2900→4500]

[D·hero] [ATK2000→3600]

[D. Hero Twin] [ATK1000→2600]

Backcourt: [D-Power] [Future Fusion] [V·Hero Increment]

Venue: [The Time Tower of Hell]

Not only is the attack power of [D·hero Fatalist] on par with Saiou Takuma's [Mystical Force EX - Ruler of Chaos], the 4500 attack points of [D·hero Ruler] even surpasses Saiou Takuma's [Mystical Force EX - Ruler of Light] with a 4300 attack point!
"It's not over yet. I banish [Dr. D-] from my graveyard and use its second effect. This can only be activated by targeting the two [D·hero] on my field! I choose [D·hero Twin] and [D·hero Ruler] on my field!"

[Dr. D], who was used to Special Summon [D·hero Discman] before, was taken out by Ed for the second time, but before that, it used the power to revive monsters in the graveyard. This time, the unstable potion has a different effect.

"Under the effect of [Dr. D-], the attack power of the selected monster becomes the same as the attack power of the other monster. In other words, the attack power of [D·hero Twin], which originally had an attack power of 2600 points, will become 4500 points, the same as [D·hero Ruler], and it still retains the ability to attack twice in one battle phase!"

[D. Hero Twin] [ATK2600→4500]

Now, Saiou Takuma also understood what Ed was doing. It was because of the existence of [Dr. D-] that he summoned the advanced [D·hero Twin]. His goal was to increase the attack power of the monsters collectively and then use [D-Dr. D] to copy the attack power of [D·hero Ruler] with the highest attack power. In this way, in addition to being able to die together with [D·hero Fatalist] of [Mystery Force EX-Chaos Ruler], he even had a lineup on the field that was enough to hit three consecutive hits with 4500 attack power!
——Isn’t this the same as Kaiba Seto’s [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]!
[Arcane Force EX - Chaos Ruler] and [D·hero] were destroyed together. After [Arcane Force EX - Light Ruler] was destroyed in battle, it would cause 200 points of battle damage to itself, but after that, all the monsters would be cleared and its basic points would drop to 4600 points. It would also have two direct attacks with 4500 points of attack power!

——But it doesn’t matter, because I still have one last card in my hand!
Glancing at the remaining [Power of Mystery XIV - Temperance] in his hand, Saiou Takuma felt relieved again.

[Zaiwang Takuma: 4800LP, 1 cards in hand]

[Mystery Force EX - Chaos Ruler] [ATK 3600]

[Mystery Force EX - Ruler of Light] [ATK 4300]

Backcourt: [Light Wave] [Wave Cannon]

The effect of [Arcane Power XIV-Temperance] can help me offset the damage of a battle, which is enough to keep 100 basic points. Although I am like a candle in the wind, I will win if I survive!

In the next turn, the card you draw is the last [Holy Grail A]. After you draw two cards, you can use the effect of [Wave of Light] to retrieve the second [Mystery Force XIX - Sun] and [Mystery Force V - Hierophant]. Then, use the effect of [Mystery Force XIX - Sun] to Special Summon and Cover the second [Light Barrier], then Normal Summon [Mystery Force V - Hierophant] and Special Summon any [Mystery Force] from the deck. After the three-body control fusion, [Mystery Force EX - Chaos Ruler] will return to your field again, and then you can Special Summon [Mystery Force EX - Dark Ruler] from your deck!
That's right, in this way, I can rearrange a powerful lineup on the field in a blink of an eye, not to mention that the [Arcane Card Array] in my graveyard can also exclude itself to use the second effect and recover [Holy Grail Ace], so that my hand can be replenished to three cards after the expansion is completed. I saw that the card I can draw in the future has a second [Lightning Strike], and my chances of winning are still very high!

Humph, it seems that although I was suppressed for a while, I still won in the end!

Just as I expected, just as I see in the future, just as fate has determined! Hahahahaha, 35 seconds, wait 35 seconds and then I'll declare my victory!

"——Hmm, it's [Lightning Strike], that's a really dangerous card." But at this moment, Ed suddenly said, attracting Saiou Takuma's attention, "And, the card in your hand is [Mysterious Power XIV - Temperance]?"

He suddenly raised his head to look at Ed, and Saiou discovered that although Ed was sweating profusely at the moment, as if he had used the future vision ability of another Saiou for too long and had consumed too much physical strength, he was still forcing himself to use the future vision ability.

However, compared to just now, when he was just using his ability of future vision to protect himself against Saiou Takuma's future vision, this time, Ed was forcibly spying on Saiou Takuma's hand and the next cards!

"Declare victory in advance? That's wishful thinking, Saiou Takuma, but do you think I will give you a chance?" The last card left in his hand was inserted into the magic trap area by Ed, and a magic card appeared on his backcourt. "I pay 1000 basic points and activate the magic card [Detain]!"

"Check the cards in your opponent's hand and choose a card to discard. The card I'm going to discard is, of course, the [Power of Mystery XIV - Temperance] in your hand!"

[Ed Phoenix: 2900→1900LP, Hand 1→0]

[Zaiwang Takuma: 4800LP, hand 1 → 0]

As Ed paid his basic points, his body swayed, as if he was about to collapse. However, under the effect of his last card - [Detain], Saiou's last card was also discarded, and both parties' cards returned to zero at the same time!

"With this, victory is completely secured. The winner is me, Saiou Takuma!"

With a wave of his hand, Ed shouted out the final order: "Enter the battle phase, and then, attack with all your forces!"

[D·hero] rushed to the front and passed through the beam attacks continuously spitted out from the three dragon heads of [Mystic Force EX-Chaos Ruler]. [Mystic Force EX-Chaos Ruler] stabbed out its claws to meet the attack, but found that it only hit the cloak dropped by [D·hero], and its real body had already come from the blind spot behind [Mystic Force EX-Chaos Ruler] and punched through its chest!
However, [Mystery Force EX-Chaos Ruler] struggled to death and used the last of its strength to control the three dragon heads to bite [D·hero] tightly, and they died together in the self-explosion caused by death.

On the other hand, [Arcane Force EX-Ruler of Light] was facing Ed's [D·hero Ruler]. The giant sword was erected in front of [D·hero Ruler] like a wall, and he charged forward against the attack of [Arcane Force EX-Ruler of Light], and then slashed horizontally, killing [Arcane Force EX-Ruler of Light] directly!

[Zaiwang Takuma: 4800→4600LP, 0 cards in hand]

Saiou's monsters were completely wiped out by these two attacks, and what followed were two direct attacks from [D·hero Twin]!

The gentlemanly [D·hero Twin]'s attack method also changed in this duel. The sturdy man "Hyde" who was supposed to be his other personality now appeared beside [D·hero Twin] in the form of a "ghost behind the back", just like another Saiou behind Ed. The two of them rushed towards Saiou Takuma together and launched an attack.

This attack carried the will of Ed and the will of another Saiou in Ed's body. The two punches landed on Saiou Takuma's body at the same time, clearing out his basic energy and instantly shattering the power of the "wave of light" surrounding his body!

“Bugah——!” Saiou screamed and flew backwards, falling into a coma!
[Zaiwang Takuma: 4600→100→0LP]

"You win, Ed!" Judai, who was standing outside the arena, cheered for Ed after the duel was decided without worrying about disturbing him. "What an interesting duel!"

"It's really exciting and touching!" John also had a very happy expression.

When Ed heard Judai's words, he forced a smile, gave Judai a thumbs up, then closed his eyes and fainted.

Magic Chef new card vs new card, then what about the person who implemented it at the same time (laughs)
