Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 811 Smile (4K)

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

Many of the spectators couldn't help but laugh.

Both Yugi Muto and Hikaru Amagi were very happy to see this.

Unlike Yugi Muto, whose reactions were less dramatic, Hikaru Amagi cheered "Wow!!!!!!!!!!"

He even jumped up and started gesturing wildly, which left Tiera completely stunned.

She had never seen Amagi Hikaru so emotionally fluctuate so much!
She didn't know.

In Amagi Hikaru's view, it was both exaggerated and comforting that Sakaki Yuya said such a thing.

If we only consider it from the perspective of "an excellent junior," we might feel gratified and happy at most.

But if viewed from the perspective of "a hapless character in the original work who suffers endless torment and eventually goes completely insane," this is simply "a cause for celebration."

“The arc of the pendulum is not the swing chosen by the soul, but rather, the arc of a smile…” Sakaki Yusho was stunned for a long time.

He looked at the smile on his son's face and was momentarily dazed.

He had always thought that Yuya was still the child he remembered, but now he could no longer "guess" what Yuya was thinking.

This is actually a very scary thing.

Because, during his duel with Hikaru Amagi, he was able to guess Hikaru's overlay cards through the duel and subtle facial expressions.

However, his understanding of Yuya far surpasses that of Amagi Hikaru.

But now?

He actually... didn't calculate anything.

Yuya even refuted him.

but.

This is the truth.

He hadn't seen Yuya for a long time.

He was completely unaware of Yuya's growth and changes during this period.

His so-called understanding and knowledge are actually nothing more than things that live in his memories.

So, in reality, he and his child are the most familiar strangers in the world.

He looked calmly at the card in his hand.

Could it be that... he was wrong?
but……

The first half of his life taught him that there aren't that many good things in the world, and that "persistence" doesn't guarantee a reward.

Therefore, he "chose" to "escape".

That's why he was so relaxed and so happy.

However, today, seeing his child again, he couldn't help but think of his "responsibility" as a father once more.

But the result?

When he finally remembered who was in charge, he suddenly realized that his son no longer needed his "tutoring"; his son had his own ideas.

but--

That's wrong!

Is that wrong?
"well------"

He let out a long sigh: "Alright, then let me see, Yuya. How exactly do you plan to defeat me?"

He looked at his hand and drew one: "Activate Spell Card, Continuous Spell Card, Burning Earth."

"When this card is activated, all Field Spell Cards on the field are destroyed. In addition, during both players' Standby Phases, the player taking the turn takes 500 damage."

Sakaki Yuya's pupils contracted.

The next second, raging flames destroyed the rainbow bridge in the sky, leaving Yuya no time to react.

"End of round."

"At this moment, the magicians on the field have returned to their original attacking power."

Entertainment Partner Smile Magician, ATK: 2500; Entertainment Partner Craft Magician, ATK: 2500; Entertainment Partner Sky Magician, ATK: 2800.
call--

Yuya wiped the sweat from his brow.

it is good.

This way, he can launch a counterattack.

"Draw a card——"

"Yuya, you must be thinking that you can use a pendulum to perform multiple Triple Summons, right? After all, not all the monsters on my field are Pendulum Monsters, so I can't Pendulum Summon them back every turn."

But... I've thought about that too.

"Activate the DD scale measuring agent's effect!"

"During your or your opponent's Standby Phase, target up to 2 cards in your or your opponent's Pendulum Zone. The Pendulum Scale of those cards is reduced to 0 until the end of the turn!"

Eh!
Suddenly, the demon's ruler flew to Yuya's front. It slowly turned sideways, briefly measured the items on his field, and then shook its head, making a big sign—0!

"This means you can no longer perform pendulum summons!"

"Because the monsters you can summon using Pendulum have become level 0 to level 0 monsters! In other words, they don't exist!"

"So, how are you going to retaliate?"

"this--"

"Also, you will suffer 500 points of damage!"

Sakaki Yuya, LP: 1700→1200.
There are still 1200 health points left, enough to last for two more rounds.

but--

If I can't defeat my father this round, where will I get enough health to fight next round?

He took a deep breath.

some!

There are many other ways.

He glanced at the card in his hand.

Just now, it was Mr. Game who helped him.

So next...

A series of cards flashed through his mind, and finally, his gaze settled on one card.

Correct!
That's how it's done!

He took a deep breath, and the smile on his face grew increasingly confident.

"Father, I'll show you the magic of the pendulum!"

"...?"

"Activate the effect of Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Butler in your Graveyard. If this card is in your hand or Graveyard, you can target 1 Entertainment Partner Monster Card or Odd-Eyes Monster Card that you control other than Entertainment Partner Odd-Eyes Butler; Special Summon this card. Then destroy the targeted card."

"What? You don't have any monsters on your field?"

"Yes, I don't have any monsters on my field, but—I do have [Monster Cards]!"

“…!!!??” Sakaki Yukatsu was suddenly startled.

"Brilliant!" At the same time, Yugi Muto, who was watching the duel, couldn't help but laugh.

Brilliant judgment!
It seems that after his duel with himself, Yuya studied the Pendulum Cards even more deeply!
That's right, when a Pendulum Monster is placed in the Pendulum Zone, it is indeed considered an unclassified Spell Card.

but!

The effect of this card, "Odd-Eyed Butler," targets "Monster Cards."

In other words, whether it is on the field as a monster, placed in the Pendulum Zone as a Pendulum Card, or even turned into an equipment by a strange effect, its effect can be activated!

This card belongs to the [Monster Card] category!
In Yugi Muto's view, none of his previous actions, conversations, or performances pleased him more than this judgment!

This means that Yuya has truly gained an understanding from the very root of the "pendulum"!
Just like Amagi Hikaru's outrageous, even "outrageous," understanding of "fusion" back then!

"So that's how it can be done..." As the first person to witness the pendulum, Yusuke Sakaki had to admit that he had indeed misjudged it this time.

His child is already at the forefront of pendulum technology.

"But in doing so, you'll end up lacking a pendulum card, won't you?"

"It doesn't matter, because I have a whole new magic trick coming up—"

"The effect of Entertainment Partner Angel Lady in the Graveyard. This card can only be activated if it is in the Graveyard and you control a Different Eyes card or Entertainment Partner Rude Mr. This card is placed in your Pendulum Zone!"

Buzz— The blue beam of light shone again, and a graceful young girl, twirling her skirt, leaped onto the field.

Entertainment Partner Angel Lady, Scale 1, Left.

"Scale 1... This doesn't seem to change the situation."

"Then, continue activating the effect."

"Activate Mr. Rude's effect. If there is Lady Angel in your Pendulum Zone on the other side, and you have no monsters on your field or only Pendulum Monsters, you can activate this effect. Add 1 Odd-Eyes card from your Deck to your hand."

"I added Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon with Scale 8 to my hand."

"Now I can activate this card."

"Activate the Spell Card, Pendulum Stop. You can activate this effect if you have 3 or more face-up Pendulum Monsters in your Extra Deck. Draw 2 cards from your Deck. After this card is activated, you cannot add cards from your Deck to your hand until the end of this turn."

Yuya Sakaki's Extra Deck naturally contains several face-up Pendulum Monster cards, allowing him to draw cards freely.

Seeing this, Tiera, who was watching the game, turned to Amagi Hikaru and said, "One of them banishes the cards from the inside of his Extra Deck and draws two cards; the other reveals the cards from the face-up of his Extra Deck and then draws two cards. This father and son pair is quite interesting."

"This also means that the two of them have really chosen different paths..." Amagi Hikaru nodded in response.

"...Yuya, what exactly are you doing?" Sakaki Yukatsu asked with a hint of curiosity. "No matter what you search for, you can't place this pendulum card you searched for into the pendulum card area, right?"

Even if the mark is 8, it's unusable.

"Do not--"

Yuya Sakaki gently picked up a card: "Dad... During this time, I made many new friends and also met two... very amazing seniors."

“They all taught me some things… things you didn’t teach me.” Yuya Sakaki looked at the card in his hand. “I hope… I can talk to you about them sometime.”

Activate the spell cards in your hand—

He flipped the card over: "Normal Spell Card, Pendulum Fusion!"

Pendulum Fusion!

In Sakaki Yushō's eyes, a duelist stood tall—

It's that person!

The strongest fusion user!
Absolute fusion!

Unwavering, forever committed to the dueling of integration!
That—he fought against Akaba Zero, and even defeated Akaba Zero, proving that he was a pure fusion master, an absolute fusion user!!!

what……

He remembered.

When Amagi Hikaru dueled with him, he did mention that he had met Yuya.

He even had cards to trade with Yuya...

"Pendulum Fusion allows you to send Fusion Monster Materials from your field to the Graveyard and Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. If you have 2 cards in your Pendulum Zone, you can also use Fusion Material Monsters in your Pendulum Zone as Fusion Materials."

"Perform a pendulum fusion summon!"

"Could it be... a heterochromatic wind and thunder dragon!?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Yuya Sakaki paused for a moment, then nodded firmly: "That's right, Heterochromatic Wind and Thunder Dragon!"

The fusion condition is a heterochromatic monster and a pendulum monster.

I'll fuse the heterochromatic-eyed butler and my entertainment partner, Mr. Rude!

"Fusion Summon!"

"Level 7, Heterochromatic Wind Thunder Dragon!"

"Ouch!!!!"

That familiar, green heterochromatic dragon, shimmering with the light of fusion, reappeared before Sakaki Yusho.

Heterochromatic Wind Thunder Dragon, Level 7, Wind Attribute, Dragon Race, Attack Power 2500.
"When you Special Summon Odd-Eyes Thunder Dragon, you can target 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; return that monster to your hand."

“I invite the craftsman magician to return to his hand.”

Sakaki Yusho looked at his hand card; the Craftsman Magician had somehow returned to his hand.

"Then, I set the pendulum scale of the heterochromatic fantasy dragon at scale 8."

"In this way, I can simultaneously Pendulum Summon monsters of Level 2 to Level 7 from my hand and Extra Deck!"

"Swing!"

"The sway of the soul!"

A red and a blue pendulum spun in the air, and as the pendulum swayed, a smile appeared on his face.

"Pendulum Summon!"

"Level 7, Heterochromatic Pendulum Dragon; Level 7, Heterochromatic Phantom Dragon!"

"And, in my card, there's the entertainment partner, the heterochromatic phoenix!"

shhhhh--

Two giant dragons, and a monster that Yuuka Sakaki had seen once before, appeared on the field.

“Heterochromatic eyes…the phoenix of light.” Sakaki Yusho couldn’t help but gently press down the brim of his hat.

The monster I used that day when I fought Hikaru Amagi!

"The Heterochromatic Phoenix can unleash itself, increasing the attack power of 1 monster on its field by 1000 points."

I've increased the attack power of my Heterochromatic Pendulum Dragon by 1000 points!

Heterochromatic Pendulum Dragon, ATK: 2500→3500.
"fighting!"

Yuya Sakaki took a deep breath: "Use the Heterochromatic Phantom Dragon, attack, Smiling Magician!"

"Since they have the same attack power, both monsters will be destroyed. However, since both monsters are Pendulum Monsters, they will both be added to the Extra Deck."

The heterochromatic-eyed phantom dragon roared, flicked its silvery-white tail, and crashed into the smiling magician.

"Then, the effect of Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon. Once per turn, if a face-up Odd-Eyes Pendulum Monster you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: Destroy 1 card in your Pendulum Zone, and place 1 face-up Odd-Eyes Pendulum Monster from your Extra Deck, other than Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon, in your Pendulum Zone!"

"I want to choose the heterochromatic phantom dragon!"

"I'll sabotage, my entertainment partner, Ms. Angel, and then, place the heterochromatic phantom dragon at scale 4!"

The blue beam of light flickered slowly, and the heterochromatic-eyed dragon slowly flew from below to the center of the beam.

The two-colored eyes reflected the light of the pendulum, and also mirrored Yuya Sakaki's appearance.

At this moment, Yuya Sakaki's face was filled with a confident and high-spirited smile!
"In this way, the heterochromatic pendulum dragon attacks the Sky Magician!"

"The Pendulum Effect of Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon is activated. Once per turn, if there is an Odd-Eyes card in your other Pendulum Zone, you can activate this effect when a face-up monster of yours or an opponent's monster declares an attack. That monster gains 1200 ATK until the Battle Phase!"

The heterochromatic pendulum dragon roared once again.

Its attack power has increased even further!

Heterochromatic Pendulum Dragon, ATK: 3500→4700.
4700!

Looking at his confident, high-spirited child, Yusho Sakaki couldn't help but start asking himself some questions.

Is what I made really right?
I don't know—

There's no point in dwelling on whether he was right or wrong anymore. Because everything he did is irreversible.

Sakaki Yukatsu could only... watch his child do what he wanted to do.

"When Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon battles an opponent's monster, it deals double battle damage!"

Yusho Sakaki's HP is 4000.
The Pendulum Dragon's attack on the Sky Magician will deal 3800 damage.

In this way, whether the Wind and Thunder Dragon attacks directly or ends the turn directly, once Sakaki Yusho's health is reduced to zero by the burning earth burning 500 points of health.

Not only that.

Because of the existence of the Wind and Thunder Dragon, no matter what protective measures he has, they will be rendered ineffective by the Wind and Thunder Dragon's effects!
Yuya Sakaki's confident smile seemed to radiate light: "Thus, I've won, Father—"

“…Then…you…you should challenge yourself.” The man, who had always been known for his smiles and entertainment and never showed any expression other than a smile, finally choked up.

And just like him.

At this moment, tears also welled up in Yuya Sakaki's eyes.

This boy, who insisted on "If you want to cry, then laugh," also... for the first time...

I was so happy that I couldn't help but cry.

"attack!"

"Spiral Assault Explosion!!"

Sakaki Yusheng, LP: 4000→200→0!

　4K4K, that means there shouldn't be any difficult people or storylines after this, hehe.
