Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 859 Elimination in Progress (4K)

"End round!"

At an observatory in Tsutono City, two men are dueling.

After multiple rounds of training and Amazon's new "rehabilitation training," Daichi Misawa's body has become increasingly strong. Standing there, with the wind blowing, his clothes cling to his body, and his thick muscles are clearly visible.

At this very moment, he is engaged in a duel as usual.

As the KC Cup gains popularity, more and more duelists are no longer concerned with anything else; if they see eye to eye, they'll duel.

However, Misawa is not in that situation.

He has many competitors he wants to challenge, so he specifically sought out opponents.

Under the gentle breeze, Misawa Daichi had finished his turn.

Several monsters stood imposingly in front of him, exuding a faint sense of intimidation.

Directly in front of him was a centaur knight made of countless magnets, wielding a greatsword of rock, and with red magnetic wings growing from his back—the Superconducting Fighter Emperor Magnetic Cannon King.

It has a powerful effect that can be activated once per turn when your opponent activates a monster's effect, spell, or trap card, negating and destroying that activation.

In addition to this effect, this monster also has the ability to activate when this face-up card leaves the field due to an opponent's card effect. It has a "Disintegrate" effect that allows you to Special Summon 1 Magnet Warrior Electromagnetic Warrior and 1 Magnet Warrior Electromagnetic Mad God from your hand or Deck, ignoring conditions.

It also has a full 4000 attack power!
A powerful monster, capable of both offense and defense—

Beside this monster are two other monsters that should not be underestimated.

On the left, the swordsman, radiating golden light and exuding an aura of power, is the renowned "Shining Dragon Knight." He possesses a unique ability that can be activated even during your opponent's turn: detach one Xyz Material, target 1 face-up monster on the field, and activate this effect. This turn, the targeted monster's effects are negated, and it is unaffected by effects other than this card!

It can be used both offensively and defensively; it can be used to disrupt and neutralize the opponent's cards, while also protecting your own.

Putting aside everything else, even in the worst-case scenario, it can be ineffective against the Imperial God Magnet Cannon King. Its 4,000 attack power is unaffected by other effects, and if it is defeated, it can disintegrate into two other powerful monsters. Its strength is still quite sufficient.

On the other side, a strange, transparent monster that looked colorful, like a flying dragon or a sea beast, but with wings, was not so powerful.

Super Beast Methanol Two-Faced Beast.

One Rank 8 Fire-attribute Beast Warrior-type Xyz Monster.

As an Xyz Monster, this card is primarily used by Daichi Misawa to assist in Xyz Summoning and to repeatedly Special Summon Level 8 monsters.

However, even so, this card has its own advantages—when a Gemini Monster is successfully summoned, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Your opponent must send 1 card from their hand or field to the Graveyard.

A powerful effect that can negate "all resistance" and even make one invincible—"Kill the Gun King"—

With this effect, Misawa Daichi can not only deploy his deck, but also take the time to reduce one of his opponent's cards in hand.

In the end—

He still has an overlay card available!
A perfect scene!
"My turn, draw a card."

Swift and decisive!

On his opposite side, his opponent didn't hesitate at all and drew a card from his deck at lightning speed.

His opponent is Kaito Amagi, who looks younger and thinner than him but is actually older and comes from the Hyperion dimension.

Last year, Daichi Misawa went to the Hyperion Dimension with the members of Kaiba Corporation. Because of Kaiser, he also met this cool-faced guy named Kaito Amagi.

Kaito Amagi, a duelist who shares the same surname as Hikaru.

A very powerful duelist!
He was the interdimensional duelist who taught Caesar—or rather, helped Caesar use his superhuman power—and was also Caesar's partner.

When Misawa Daichi first met him, seeing his duel and his persistence towards Photon Dragon of the Galaxy Eyes, he thought he was a parallel universe counterpart of Hikaru. After all, there were phenomena like Serena and Rin, and he had some suspicions about it.

However, he later realized that these were definitely different people, even from parallel worlds.

But what they have in common is that they are all extremely powerful!
last of the last……

Kaito Amagi was the one who taught him Xyz Summoning. Daichi Misawa really wanted to duel Kaito before his duel with Hikaru, which was also a kind of "longing" for him.

"This card can be Special Summoned if you have no monsters on your field."

Photon Slayer!

Photon Slasher, Level 4, Light Attribute, Warrior Race, Attack Power 2100.
Photon Slasher, a monster that looks a lot like Cyber ​​Dragon, but Daichi Misawa knows that Kaito Amagi summoned it more for the "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon".

In that case, there's really no need to worry.

He has made ample preparations!
"Mizawa, your Xyz Summoning was quite good."

"Haha, I'm glad you said that, Kaito."

Daichi Misawa was overjoyed.

He had many other ideas for development, and with Magnet Warriors around, he had many different fighting styles. However, in his duel with Kaito Amagi, he ultimately chose to use Xyz Summon, as this allowed him to showcase the results of his research.

In particular, the Super Fusion Beast Methanol Two-Faced Beast is a card that he personally researched and completed. It is an Xyz Monster that symbolizes the "scientific crystallization" of the Fusion Dimension and the Xyz Dimension!

Similarly—he doesn't even need to rely on spirits, No. cards, or photon devices to use this card normally in the Fusion Dimension or even the Xyz Dimension!

This is precisely what Daichi Misawa was researching!

In a sense, Misawa Daichi was the first truly successful person to promote Xyz Summoning in the fusion dimension.

This "diplomat" did indeed help him gradually get back on his feet.

only--

He was facing an "overkiller"!
"Well done, Misawa, but this level of play was entirely within my expectations!"

"what?"

"Release my Photon Slasher and your Superconducting Gundam Supercell Magnetron King, Special Summon: Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon!"

"what!!!"

Kaito's eyes widened, and he tossed the card into the air with one hand. Then, the card transformed into a giant cross in the light, which he caught.

"O Milky Way that shines in the darkness, become the light of hope and dwell within me! Incarnation of light, descend here!"

"Galaxy-Eye Glow Dragon!!"

Amidst endless light, a colossal dragon with galaxies flowing in its eyes made its appearance in an instant.

"Huh?" Daichi Misawa was dumbfounded.

Kaito Amagi chuckled, teasingly remarking, "What, Misawa? Do you think you're the only one who's gained new power through the long years and trials?"

Uh--

Misawa snapped out of his daze and looked at his grave: "The effect of the Imperial God Magnet Cannon King didn't activate?"

"That's right - using Galaxy Eyes to Special Summon Photon Dragon's own ability can only be done once per turn."

It can Tribute 2 face-up monsters (including monsters on your field) with 2000 or more ATK from your hand to Special Summon them.

It turns out the appearance condition is [COST] - this effect won't be triggered.

Oops.

"It's not over yet! The effect of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: During your or your opponent's Main Phase, you can banish this card from the field to activate this effect. Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from your Deck or Graveyard. After that, you can banish 1 monster your opponent controls that is Special Summoned from the Extra Deck until the end of this turn." Ah, this—

Daichi Misawa was dumbfounded.

One card to defeat two of my monsters!?
But he quickly realized what was happening and immediately chained it together: "Dragon Knight's Shining Effect: Once per turn, detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 face-up monster on the field. This turn, the targeted monster's effects are negated, and it is unaffected by any other effects besides this card."

I am ineffective against the methanol double-faced beast!

This is a simple trade-off.

The effect of Glowing Dragon prioritizes banishing itself, so Dragon Knight cannot negate its effect. After banishing, Kaito will Special Summon a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon with 3000 ATK. In this situation, if he does not activate Dragon Knight's effect, Dragon Knight will be banished directly, leaving him with only one Methanol Two-Faced Beast on his field that has no effect. In this situation, if Kaito deals with it using other support cards, he will have to face a direct hit from Kaito's large number of high-ATK monster cards.

Therefore, he will inevitably activate this effect to avoid it.

"Then exclude the Dragon Knight, Shining."

Kaito Amagi wasn't surprised that Daichi Misawa hadn't done anything foolish. He simply excluded Dragon Knight, leaving it without materials to activate its effect, and then Special Summoned Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.

Although he wanted to end the duel quickly, having a card removed from his hand and having to clear the field first did make things a bit more complicated for Kaito.

"The duel has only just begun, Kaito!"

The land of Misawa is boiling with the will to fight.

This duel won't end so easily. Don't even think about winning against me so simply!
Similar to this duel was the duel between Serena and Ruri.

The duel gradually became somewhat "rigid" for the two of them; in Amagi Hikaru's favorite words, it was like being "imprisoned."

Moonlight Dancer Shishigami is unaffected by the effects of cards other than Moonlight. With 3800 ATK, she can destroy all of the opponent's Special Summoned monsters and attack directly.

Lyric Robin - Gathering Nightingale has the ability to detach 1 Xyz Material to activate its effect. Until the end of this turn, Lyric Robin monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects, and your battle damage becomes 0.
If it were just that it wouldn't be destroyed by combat or effects, that would be fine, but it also comes with an effect that makes it immune to combat damage, which means that even if Serena uses piercing damage, it's useless.

What's even more amazing is that gathering Nightingales allows you to bypass attacks directly!
Each material increases attack power by 200, allowing for an extra number of attacks with more materials!

In addition, there is Lyric Robin - The Singing Bird, which has the ability to "cause your opponent to also suffer battle damage that occurred during the battle when this card is Xyz Summoned!"
That's incredibly restrained.

The duel left Serena's companion, the giant panda with its flowing jabs, completely exhausted.

It never imagined that its little master's duel would one day be so "dragging on"—

Serena's health has now reached 200. If she can't win this round, then Serena will be directly attacked by Ruri.

Fortunately, the opponent's life points weren't much either. The little master had just used Moonlight Cat Princess's effect, "Activate when this card declares an attack, inflict 100 damage to the opponent," to attack all of the opponent's monsters twice, dealing a lot of damage.

"What's wrong, Serena? Isn't your 'killing intent' enough?" Liuli couldn't help but tease.

"Oh dear..." Serena blushed slightly, drew a card from her deck, and her eyes lit up when she saw the card.

"I won!"

"?"

Liuli's expression turned serious.

What kind of card is it?

"Magic Card: Moonlight Fusion!"

"Integration—"

"What's the point of merging at such a crucial moment?" Yuzu asked curiously.

“I think… she firmly believes that as long as they merge, they will definitely be able to duel smoothly, right?” After hearing Yuzu’s question, Yuya thought for a moment and gave his answer.

Since she is Brother Guang's disciple, her thoughts must be similar.

"Just fuse! Just fuse—a true fusion duelist only needs to find a way to fuse!"
Since one Moonlight Lioness can't destroy the monsters on your field, then I'll just use the second one!

It's simple and direct, which suits Serena's preferences, and at the same time, it validates the idea of ​​"fusion"!

One isn't enough, so let's have two!
Moonlight Fusion can fuse with one monster from the Extra Deck. By combining this with monsters in your hand and Moonlight Dance Cat Princess on the field, you can fuse to create a second Moonlight Dance Lion Goddess!

In this way, Serena can perfectly handle all the Glass Monster issues!

Although there's no way to directly attack and cause damage—after all, once the Nightingale Swarm effect is activated, combat damage becomes 0.
In return, Serena can deal with all of Ruri's monsters!

In that case, Miss Serena wins!

Do not--

Suddenly, the Flowing Water Panda thought of a question.

Still not right!
if--

What if Miss Ruri draws [Easy Fusion] next round!?
If Miss Ruri draws the Easy Fusion skill, she only needs to fuse and summon Lyric Nightingale - Solitary Nightingale, then Miss Serena will lose!
Because Lyrical Nightingale - Independent Nightingale is unaffected by other card effects and can be activated once per turn during the Main Phase, inflict damage to your opponent equal to this card's Level x 500!

500 points!
That's enough!
"My turn, draw a card—"

Ruri drew a card from her deck, looked down at the card in her hand, and smiled, which made Yuto, who was silently hiding in the shade of a tree, instinctively stare in amazement.

"Serena, it's so good to know you. Meeting you is probably the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

"Well, me too—uh, no, no, meeting my master was the luckiest thing, so...uh, second?"

It doesn't sound very good.

But Liuli didn't mind. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Haha, second place is fine. Anyway, Serena, I'm glad to be your friend. Now, I'm going to use what you taught me!"

Activate the Spell Card – Easy Fusion!

"what?"

"We won!" Yuto couldn't help but exclaim.

Once the independent Nightingale is formed, Serena, with only 200 health points remaining, will lose.

"...I see, so the final result is [fusion]!" Serena was stunned. She understood what Ruri meant, but soon Serena couldn't help but laugh. "Well...Ruri, I thank you and I'm also very happy to be your friend."

Therefore, I will also use the clever and wise method you taught me!

"Oh?"

"When the effects of Moonlight Silver Dogs in the Graveyard or Spell/Trap Cards are activated on the field, you can banish this card and 1 Moonlight Fusion Monster from your Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that activation!"

"Wow—" Yuzu gently covered her mouth with her fingertips.

They retaliated!
Moreover—this card seems to have been in the graveyard for a long time, but Serena has never countered any of Ruri's spell and trap cards before!

Because...it's meaningless?
She suddenly thought of something.

If she can't destroy the monsters that Ruri possesses, then no matter how many monsters Ruri searches for, she has no reason to stop them.

Save the real obstacles for where they're most needed!
Serena, who usually seems carefree, is actually quite thoughtful!
Seeing a silver-white, grey-skinned wolf girl appear beside her, wagging her tail and grinning as she reached out her hand, Liuli couldn't help but laugh after her initial stunned silence. She reached out and handed the Simple Fusion to it, rendering its effect ineffective.

Thus, the winner is... Serena!

"Yay!!! I beat Liuli!!!" Serena excitedly raised her hands and cheered.

　4K4K, Galaxy Eye Glowing Dragon, a somewhat peculiar card. It's a card that wouldn't be too outrageous to write about right away, but it's not bad.
