Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 810 Instantaneous Moment (5K)

Yuya Sakaki was panting heavily, sweat pouring down his forehead and chin.

He looked at the Goomba beside him, and Goomba let out a reassuring "Krikri," then clenched its fists and gave him a encouraging look.

He was a little dazed.

This card was given to him by Mr. Yugi Muto. Later, he discovered that the card had turned into a "Pendulum Monster".

But at that time, he didn't think there was anything strange about it.

After all, many of the cards in his deck had suddenly become pendulum cards.

Only now did he suddenly come to his senses and understand what was going on.

The "Adam Factor" within him transformed the card given to him by Mr. Game into a form that matched his "soul".

However, this card is at most just for companionship.

Perhaps, in Mr. Game's view, he can overcome the difficulties on his own...

He looked at the "lost mark".

As long as this card is in the Spell & Trap Zone, if you activate an effect that causes a Fusion Monster to be Fusion Summoned, that activation will not be negated, and your opponent cannot activate the effects of Spell, Trap, or Monster when that Fusion Summon is successful.

A very, very, very personal Continuous Magic Card by Amagi-senpai.

As long as this card exists, no one is allowed to stop his fusion.

Just like himself—

And beyond that...

He remembered how Senior Amagi had hesitated to speak back then.

Yes.

Sakaki Yuya understood.

Since Amagi Hikaru had met his father and talked with him for a while, and even knew that his father would participate in the KC Cup preliminary rounds, he must have already anticipated this.

but……

He took a deep breath.

He slowly stood up and looked at his hands again.

His hands trembled so badly they didn't look like his own.

Normally, whether performing acrobatics or magic, he is incredibly steady, but now, his hands are shaking so badly.

only--

He calmed himself down.

Take a deep breath—

"Ah--"

"call--"

He clenched his fists, and his body finally stopped trembling.

“Father, I don’t want to give up the pendulum, because it is my way of summoning. Through the pendulum, I have completed so many duels and even brought new joy to so many people… Haven’t you always taught me to find ways to make everyone smile?”
I don't want to give up the entertainment duel that I finally found, the one that belongs to me.

"...But you almost lost your temper yourself just now, didn't you?"

"It won't go berserk again! Trust me!"

Yusho Sakaki closed his eyes: "How can you expect me to believe this result, this performance?"

Yes--

He has no examples.

He almost went berserk just now.

If it weren't for the help of his two elders, he might have already proven his father right.

but!

He's not going berserk right now!
Since it didn't happen, why assume he would definitely go berserk?

There are indeed many bad things in the world, and bad things happen every day, but if we stop using the good things just because bad things might happen, that would be the biggest regret!
He had seen—

Synchroic dimension, perpetual motion machine, synchronization...

He's seen it!

The hard work and determination of our predecessors!
"I'll do it!"

This is baseless, unreasonable, and completely unprovable.

Yuu-sho Sakaki's expression turned serious: "Yuya, I'm not joking with you... Of course I respect your choice, but this could be a matter concerning the future of humanity!"

"Then, Father—have you already made a choice for all of humanity? Now, do you want to make a choice for myself as well?"

"you--"

"How is your behavior any different from that of Akama Zero-Oh?!"

Sakaki Yusho froze on the spot.

He did not continue speaking.

Yuya Sakaki had never spoken to him so "aggressively" before!

Because Yuya Sakaki is a good child, a smart child, a kind and kind child, a child with a bright future—just like his world, just like the universe.

But let's be honest.

Will a child always use the term "father" when talking to his father?

Yusho Sakaki took a deep breath: "In that case, Yuya, I'll have to let you experience failure."

"You mean if I win, I can continue using the pendulum?"

"..."

Sakaki Yusho didn't say anything more. He simply drew a card from his deck, glanced at it, and held it up: "Spell Card, Pot of Greed and Gold."

自己的主要阶段1开始时，把自己的额外卡组3张或者6张的里侧卡随机里侧除外擦能发动。除外的每有3张卡，自己抽1张卡。

After this card is activated, you cannot draw cards using card effects until the end of the turn.

"I banish 6 cards from the extra deck from the game, and then draw two cards."

Yusho Sakaki drew two cards from his deck and then glanced at them.

"Then, I set the pendulum scale on these two cards."

Eh! !

Not only Yuya Sakaki, but also several people watching the battle were taken aback—including Hikaru Amagi.

Amagi Hikaru knew that Sakaki Yuusho had Pendulum Monster cards, but he didn't expect that Sakaki Yuusho would set up the Pendulum scale at this time.

But that would seem... weird.

After all, they specifically asked the opponent not to use Pendulum Summon, but they themselves used Pendulum Summon...

"I set the pendulum scale with the entertainment partner Pendulum Magician of scale 2 and the DD scale Measuring Agent of scale 9!"

"Entertainment Partner: Pendulum Magician?"

"DD scale measurement technician?"

After two beams of light of different colors lit up next to Sakaki Yusho, both Sakaki Yuya and Akaba Reiji instinctively gasped in surprise.

One entertainment companion, one DD?
"That guy thought his experiment had failed, so he went to another dimension to try to start over." Sakaki Yukatsu looked at the DD scale measuring instrument in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

"I originally... wanted to find him and have a fun duel with him, using this DD Scale Measuring Instrument to make him start swinging his life again. Unfortunately, it's all over."

Yusuke Sakaki looked up at the person opposite him: "But I can't let this happen again, and I can't let my beloved son repeat the same mistake."

"..."

"Right now, I have Pendulum Monsters with Scales 2 to 9 on my field, which means I can Special Summon Pendulum Monsters of Level 3 to Level 8 at the same time!"

Spin, pendulum of the soul!

In the sky, a huge void formed by countless stars appeared, and then three silvery-white shooting stars fell from the sky.

"Pendulum Summon!"

"Level 7, Entertainment Partner, Craft Magician".

"Level 7, Entertainment Partner: Sky Magician".

"as well as--"

"Level 8 Entertainment Partner: The Smiling Magician!"

As the card was summoned, three monsters dressed in different magic costumes fell from the sky. Then, each of them waved a different magic wand and began to perform their own magic tricks. Among them, the Sky Magician grabbed Sakaki Yuuka as always and shook him in the air.

It flew from the left side of the sky to the right side of the sky—

In Yuya Sakaki's view, this scene was once his favorite.

While dueling, Yusho Sakaki crosses the dueling arena, performs his shows, and defeats his opponents all at the same time!
Entertainment Partner - Craftsman Magician, Level 7, Light Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2500.
Entertainment Partner: Sky Magician, Level 7, Wind Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2500.
Entertainment Partner: Smiling Magician, Level 8, Light Attribute, Mage Race, Attack Power 2500, Pendulum Monster!

"!!"

Yuya Sakaki watched this scene unfold.

At this moment, his image flashes from time to time to his childhood, his excited expression.

And from time to time, it transforms into the resolute face we see now.

He wanted to prove himself in a duel, to prove his growth, regardless of whether his father understood him or not, and regardless of whether his confrontation with his father was appropriate.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need to make such a clear distinction.

"Activate the effect of Entertainment Partner: Laughing Magician. This effect can be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned. Add 1 [Laughing] Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your hand."

"At the same time, the effect of the Entertainment Partner Pendulum Magician activates. If you control an Entertainment Partner monster and it is Pendulum Summoned, all Entertainment Partner monsters you control gain 1000 ATK until the end of this turn!"

Craftsmanship Magician, Sky Magician, Smile Magician, ATK: 2500→3500.
"Then, I added the World of Smiles to my hand card."

Sakaki Yusho's deck popped up automatically, and a card filled with a smile was added to his hand.

The three magicians and the three dragons are standing directly opposite each other.

Belonging to smiles, belonging to magic, belonging to the sky, belonging to pendulums, belonging to illusions, belonging to... different colors.

Although they are all entertainment partners.

Despite being father and son.

Despite using the same summoning method, their attitudes toward duels, life, cards, and pendulums are all different.

The same rice can feed all kinds of people.

Even within the same family, the people who grow up are different.

"Alright, that's the last one, Yuya—"

"Magic Cards, A World of Smiles!"

"This card increases the ATK of all monsters on the field by 100 per monster until the end of the turn, based on the number of monsters on the field."

"Now, there are 6 monsters on the field, so all monsters on the field gain 600 ATK."

As the cards flew out, one smiling phantom face after another appeared, like bubbles filling different places.

Everything—the dueling arena, the sky, and even the monsters locked in battle—seemed to become joyful and happy in that instant. However, at this moment, Yuya Sakaki's face was unusually devoid of a smile.

"Activate the effect of Craftsman Magician. Once per turn, you can discard 1 card from your hand, then target 1 face-up card on the field; destroy that card."

I destroyed the heterochromatic-eyed Phantom Dragon.

The magician chuckled softly, then tossed out four playing cards of different suits, which landed on the heterochromatic phantom dragon.

click -

Click.

Like a sculpture shattering.

The heterochromatic-eyed Phantom Dragon began to slowly collapse.

The next second, the heterochromatic Phantom Dragon on the field disappeared, as if it had "come back to life".

"It's not over yet. Activate the Continuous Spell Card, Magician's Left Hand."

While this card is on the field, once per turn, if you control a Spellcaster monster, negate and destroy any Trap Cards activated by your opponent.

"what!?"

Yuya Sakaki instinctively widened his eyes.

"Yuya, I know you too well. Although you want to show yourself, especially to show yourself to me, you don't want to lose so quickly, so the card you set to face down must be a trap card."

[The Magic Mindset]

When dueling, Yusho Sakaki's greatest skill was predicting his opponent's thoughts through various words, exchanges, and observations, and then using magic to see through his opponent in a way that was almost like "prophecy".

"In that case, Yuya, you've lost."

His expression was very calm.

The magician and the dragon, how classic.

It felt like he was back on a certain afternoon, casually teaching Yuya how to duel.

but--

There is no going back.

"Fight, Yuya!"

"Use the Sky Magician to attack the Heterochromatic Dragon!"

The Sky Magician swiftly flicked out two rings, which landed on the heterochromatic dragon, then snapped shut with a crack and a thud.

Sakaki Yuya, LP: 4000→2700.
"Then, the craftsman magician attacks the heterochromatic pendulum dragon!"

The magician clapped his hands, and white flowers flew out from his hands, then transformed into blades that pierced through the heterochromatic-eyed pendulum dragon.

Sakaki Yuya, LP: 2700→1700.
"at last--"

Sakaki Yukatsu felt a little reluctant.

No matter what, destroying a child's dreams is an extremely cruel thing.

but--

He had no choice.

"The Smiling Magician launches a direct attack on his opponent!"

At this moment, the Smiling Magician's attack power is 4100 points!
Even if Yuya Sakaki had full health at this moment, it would be of no use!

but--

"dad--"

"If you're going to attack, then use this!"

"Quick-Play Spell Card, Illusion Balloon!"

"What!???"

Sakaki Yusho's eyes widened suddenly.

It's a magic card!?
"You can activate this effect the turn a monster you control is destroyed. Reveal the top 5 cards of your Deck. You can Special Summon 1 of those Amusement Partner Monsters. Shuffle the remaining cards back into your Deck."

"Magic tricks..."

“That’s right. You taught me this too! I… have mastered it perfectly!”

"However, with 5 cards, there's still a chance that no monster will appear."

“Yes…” Yuya’s face was still covered in cold sweat from the shocking facts. He looked at the card in his hand and held it up. “So, now, I’m going to gamble my future!”

Sakaki Yukatsu remained silent.

The first one—

Super Hippo Carnival.

Well……

Yuya's face stiffened.

The second one is from the Entertainment Partner Theater.

It's magic again!

The third ticket was temporarily cancelled.

"It seems the performance will have to be canceled." Sakaki Yukatsu looked at the card and shook his head regretfully.

"I do not believe--"

Yuya Sakaki draws his fourth card —

A card that everyone is familiar with.

A card from Yusho Sakaki!

Normal Magic Cards, A World of Smiles!

it turns out!!
Yuya Sakaki felt a little short of breath.

Yusho Sakaki shook his head regretfully.

it's fine.

he thinks.

Yuya is a bright child. Even without the Pendulum Summoning, his future is promising, and he can live a very happy and prosperous life...

Yuya Sakaki was tense and trembling; he took a deep breath.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to open the live stream to see if he could get support from Yuzu, to see if anyone would speak up for him.

but……

No.

He looked at the lost brand on his left.

His gaze gradually shifted from tense to resolute.

You shouldn't give up until the very last moment.

Moreover, the most exciting part is turning the tide when things are at their most dangerous!
He took a deep breath and then smiled.

Ladies—

Gentlemen!
To all our friends watching the live stream!

"Do you think I'll lose this duel next!?"

Sakaki Yukatsu was taken aback.

At such a critical moment, they actually...

“Yuya…” Hiiragi Yuzu watched the live stream nervously.

Yes.

At this moment, she was naturally watching Yuya's duel.

However, she already had a feeling that things were over.

After all, if a card isn't a monster, you'll have to attack it directly!
"So, everything is on this card!"

"Let's find out the answer: is this really the 'final'?"

“No.————————

Five cards!

He suddenly lifted the card.

Then, a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Wow!!" Yuzu clapped excitedly.

The fifth card!

"Entertainment Partner Classic Chestnut Ball!"

"Krikri!!"

Little Kuriboh jumped onto his field, looking at Sakaki Yusho with a serious, even somewhat angry, expression.

Entertainment Partner Classic Kuriboh, Level 1, Dark Attribute, Fiend Race, Defense 200, Pendulum Monster.

We held on!!

Yusho Sakaki stopped in surprise, but then calmly instructed the Smiling Magician to destroy the specially summoned Kuriboh.

"Yuya, you've grown up. You've grown up to the point where you have your own ideas."

“...Yes, Father, I...I want to do what I want to do.”

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Entertainment Duel".

Yuya Sakaki clenched his fist and looked at his father: "My [Entertainment Duel]."

First up is the [Duel].

Then comes [Entertainment].

Finally, it's time for the [Entertainment Duel]!

"However, if you keep using pendulum summoning, you will definitely get entangled in all sorts of things, and your [brothers] might also keep causing you trouble."

Do not--

Even if they don't want to cause you trouble, sooner or later they will be forced by fate to fight you.

"...Father, I've already thought of it."

"what?"

Yuya Sakaki raised one hand, making a "V" sign, then gently placed it on his lips, slightly raising the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile that looked mechanical but was actually genuine.

"The arc of the pendulum is not the swing chosen by the soul, but rather, the arc of a smile!"

　5K, I'll add the rest later, I'll finish writing it today.
