Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

This time, however, they had no back row cards to use. The hurricane instantly destroyed all their cards on the field, and even they themselves were knocked out of the front row.

"Ugh!" "Cough!" "Gagi!" "Ugh!"

Chapter 544 Is fusion such an inconvenient thing?

Under the effect of 【Disruptive Triangle Hurricane!!】, whether it was 【Wilderness Warrior】, 【G Team - Shining Black】 and the others who summoned themselves to the front row, or their miscellaneous equipment cards in the back row, even the field spell card 【Sky Sanctuary】 was destroyed.

The surrounding environment returned to the jungle where they were originally. Hayato was still standing in the same spot as when he left, but the four people opposite him were all lying on the ground, still unable to recover from the impact of the [Disruptive Triangle Hurricane!!].

"Haha, now you know how powerful we are!"

"Even without fusion, our power and precision surpass yours!"

"Close combat is our strength!"

Because they used [Disruptive Triangle Hurricane!!] to give those guys who had previously looked down on them a hard time, [Disruptive Yellow] and the others were quite smug at the moment, and even started spouting all sorts of flags.

Therefore, in order to prevent himself from being completely ruined by these idiots, Hayato thought it would be better to squeeze every last drop of value out of them now.

After being knocked back to the duelists' booth, [Shining Black] and the others were devastated by the destruction of [Sanctuary of the Sky], while [Demon Lizard Yihao] was trying to save [Wilderness Warrior], who had fainted after seeing [Shining Black]'s true face again. Only [Shining Black] stubbornly stood up with its own will and indomitable vitality.

"I never expected that [Disruption], which looks like it's not even worth mentioning, could unleash such power. It's truly terrifying."

"But even if you destroy all our defenses, your [Disruption] monsters are nothing but useless trash with zero attack power. In fact, because [Disruption Triangle Hurricane!!] has destroyed all our cards, they are now completely worthless."

【G Team - Shining Black】stated, "They pose no threat to us whatsoever, so what can you do next?"

"Are you going to launch a pointless attack on us with these monsters that aren't even worth a pet when they attack, or are you going to end your turn here and leave these targets behind?"

But under Shining Black's gaze, Hayato smiled at him: "In that case, there's only one answer."

"I must fuse and summon immediately!"

Upon hearing Hayato's words, [Disruption Yellow] and the others seemed quite excited: "Oh, it's not a [Lightning Smash] card or anything, but [Fusion]?"

"I'm so touched! Annie is clearly telling us to end this duel!"

"We've already won!"

【Shining Black】 frowned: "【Fusion】? Even if this kind of monster is fused and summoned, it can only summon a monster with 0 attack power, which is just another weak monster."

"Ah, I was actually seen through." "Completely undeniable." "The King's attack power is indeed 0."

However, under the watchful gaze of [Shining Black], Hayato didn't play the [Fusion] card at all. Instead, he waved his hand and said, "Does one have to activate a [Fusion] Spell Card to perform fusion? Is fusion something so inconvenient?"

"The ultimate dragon that freezes the past, present, and future, submits to my will and descends here! Pierce through destiny with your trident!"

Hayato raised his empty hand above his head, and with his movement, a large amount of frost miraculously gathered in his palm, forming a large block of pure ice. The [Disruption Yellow] characters on his field trembled uncontrollably due to the sudden drop in temperature.

"Except for us?" "The summoning phrase doesn't sound like it's for the Summoning King." "And Anig didn't activate the fusion?"

Subconsciously, the three brothers, [Disruption], exchanged glances.

"Ma...Masaka?"

"We've been abandoned again?!"

"Eeya da!"

"For victory, I am willing to sacrifice my old friends [Disruptor Yellow], [Disruptor Green], and [Disruptor Black], banishing three monsters with different card names from my field!"

"Triple Contact Fusion Summon! [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon]!!!"

The frost on Hayato's palm shattered, revealing a purple-bordered card held between his fingers. He slammed it onto the duel disk, and at the same time, the [Disruption] brothers on the field began to turn transparent while wailing in agony—

"I hate this feeling~~" x3

"Roar!" X3

The massive dragon claws stomped on the spot where [Disruption Yellow] and the others had disappeared. The three-headed dragon, its body covered in frost-covered armor, looked down at [Shining Black] and the others and let out a roar. Its aura was that of a demon god about to destroy the world!

【Ice Dragon - Trident Dragon】【9☆/Water】

[Dragon/Fusion/Effect]

[2700/2000]

"A powerful monster with a level 9 star and an attack power of 2700!?" Shining Black was shocked. Even the Wilderness Warrior and Jera regained their senses and looked up at the towering, demon-like three-headed dragon. "And it used those three [Disruption] monsters, which have no relation to each other at all, as fusion materials?"

"【Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon】is no ordinary Fusion Monster. It only requires three monsters with different names as Fusion Materials. However, as a restriction, it can only use monsters from my hand and field as Fusion Materials. However, I can also Fusion Summon it by banishing the Fusion Material Monsters on my field without using a 【Fusion】 Spell Card."

Hayato said smugly, hands on his hips, instinctively wanting to chuckle, but then realized that would make him the villain, since he was supposed to be the protagonist.

“Although the use of a Disruption Monster instead of a Dragon-type monster that best suits its power as fusion material prevented Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon from using its strongest power, this level is more than enough for now.” Hayato said, drawing two cards. “I’m going to activate the Equip Spell Card, Giant Growth, to equip Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon.”

"[Gigantification]?!"

Under the horrified gaze of [Shining Black], [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon], which was already taller than the tallest tree in the forest, truly experienced a "giant" phenomenon after being equipped with [Gigantification]. Its original height of nearly 20 meters directly doubled to a full 40 meters, which was just like a normal-sized MS being upgraded to a MA!

【Ice Dragon - Trident Dragon】(Gigantic Form) 【ATK 2700 → 5400】

"When my Life Points are higher than my opponent's Life Points, the ATK of a monster equipped with [Gigantify] will be reduced to half its original ATK. However, when my Life Points are lower than my opponent's Life Points, the ATK of a monster equipped with [Gigantify] will be increased to twice its original ATK."

"Your base score? It's from the [Demon's Fitting Room] from earlier!"

[Shining Black] looked quite surprised: "So you were already scheming from the very first card you played?"

"Whether it was using [Harpie's Feather Duster] to probe our face-down cards, or using [Disruptive Triangle Hurricane!!] to destroy all the cards blocking our way, and even using the effect of [Demon's Dressing Room] to pay Life Points, was this all part of your plan?!"

"Hmph, isn't that obvious?" Hayato commanded, "Enter my battle phase, and then [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon] will launch a direct attack without any hindrance!"

"Ice Form - Ultimate Technique: Unleashed Chaotic Dance!!"

Hayato casually gave [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon] an exhibitionist-like name for its attack. As Hayato raised his hand, the freezing air around [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon] was controlled to transform into countless weapons of various styles, which rained down like a storm from the sky, covering all four members: [G Team - Shining Black], [Divergent Lizard - Demon Lizard Yihao], [Wilderness Warrior], and [Sky Messenger - Gerardias].

"Ugh!!!" X4

[Four-person group: 4000→0LP]

Almost effortlessly, Hayato watched as the figure of [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon] gradually disappeared. At the spot covered by the finishing blow of [Ice Prison Dragon - Trident Dragon], [Shining Black] looked at the countless ice blades that had pierced through and pinned part of the clothes and armor of the four people on his side to the ground, so close yet without harming him in the slightest. He was terrified.

For a brief moment, he thought he was really going to die. After all, even though his true form was a cockroach with strong vitality, it wasn't completely unkillable. If he had been defeated in a duel where all the monsters were materialized, he would have truly died.

Hayato could easily have killed all four of them if he wanted to, but the current situation clearly shows that Hayato spared them at the last moment. After all, Hayato only wanted to get to that building in the distance. Although he was determined to defeat all those who stood in his way, he wasn't going to kill them one by one. He's not some kind of protagonist from a killing god novel from over a decade ago.

Hayato doesn't care what others think. He believes that if his life were a manga, it would definitely be a shonen manga, since his duels are so sunny, bring smiles to people's faces, and are full of positive energy.

Bypassing the area strewn with ice blades and spears, Hayato had no intention of finishing off the enemy and was about to leave to continue towards the building not far away when he heard [Shining Black]'s voice:

"Who exactly are you?"

"Me? Just a duelist passing by. You don't need to remember me." Hayato didn't stop for a moment, casually answering [Shining Black]'s question before walking away.

Having narrowly avoided the sharp ice blades, [Shining Black] looked at Hayato's departing figure and said with a wry smile, "It sounds so ordinary, but who would believe it?"

From Shining Black's perspective, although Hayato may seem like an ordinary person on his own, he is backed by a variety of Duel Monsters card spirits, making him no simple character by any measure.

Hayato paid no attention to what Shiny Black and the others were thinking, and soon they arrived in front of the "big mound" that was covered by vines, moss and weeds that rose from the ground.

"Aleister, are you sure this is the place we're looking for?" After circling the large bag without finding any resemblance to an entrance, Hayato pulled out the [Summoner - Aleister] card and asked, "Forget about doors or holes, there's not even a window here!"

"Are you sure we can go in here? And what's inside?"

"Even if you ask me that, I'm not some omnipotent wish-granting machine that can answer all the questions in the world. I can only confirm that the fluctuations I sensed at the beginning came from here. As for what kind of being is inside, I can't answer you either, Master."

Alistair's helpless voice came from the card, "In the end, I am not a native of this world either. I just arrived a few years earlier than Master. The same goes for those you just defeated. I sensed the same aura of not belonging to this world from them."

"And as for the existence here, all I know is that it is either the god of this world."

"God?" Hayato asked, somewhat puzzled. "A god from the spirit world?"

"If the definition of 'god' in your previous world wasn't too different from mine, both referring to beings with irresistible and powerful strength, then I think yes."

"Alright then, so how do we get inside and wake up that 'god'?"

Hayato was hoping Aleister would give a useful answer, such as opening a door with magic or simply dismantling it by force. However, to Hayato's surprise, the phantom of [Summoner - Aleister] appearing beside him simply shrugged:

"My suggestion is to stay put and wait for that 'god' to wake up and come to us."

"Ok?"

Seeing Hayato's surprised expression, Aleister slowly explained, "I don't know what happened to the 'god' of this world. Maybe he was sealed away after creation, or maybe he was in a state before he was born, or maybe he fought with some being and is now asleep. In any case, we can't surpass the power of the 'god' under any circumstances."

"Since that's the case, why not just give up? Anyway, whether we try or not, we can't get into this place on our own initiative, so we might as well relax and have some fun first."

"However, if you're lucky, Master, maybe in a dozen years or so that 'god' will wake up and then—"

Before Aleister could finish his sentence, the dragon's roar that had sounded once before came from the "big bag" again. Hayato, who had just been standing in front of Aleister with a sour expression because of Aleister's suggestion to give up, disappeared instantly in a flash of white light.

All that remained were [Summoner-Aleister], who had been released outside by Hayato, and [Rainbow Kuriboh], who had been perched on Hayato's head but had fallen onto the grass and was rubbing its bottom in pain after Hayato disappeared, staring at each other wide-eyed.

"Kurry?"

"—Should I say 'I haven't boarded the bus yet' in this situation?"

Chapter 545, though it has a name, should still be called The Nameless Dragon.

While Rainbow Kuriboh and Summoner Aleister were staring at each other in disbelief, Hayato, who had suddenly disappeared, opened his eyes after the light faded slightly, only to find himself in the sky.

Judging by the distance to the ground, it was at least several hundred meters high. Luckily, Hayato doesn't have a fear of heights, otherwise he would have been scared to death on the spot.

Even so, with nothing around him to anchor himself, Hayato panicked slightly, after all, the transfer was sudden, not to mention appearing suddenly in the air.

However, Hayato quickly recovered after a brief moment of panic, as he discovered that instead of crashing to the ground under the influence of gravity, he was unusually floating in the sky, as if he had broken free from the constraints of gravity. It felt as if the increased density of the air had given Hayato sufficient buoyancy.

However, air is still air. Hayato tried to kick and paddle, but he remained in the same place, without moving at all. Or perhaps he did move, but the movement was so small that Hayato himself couldn't even perceive it.

Only then did he have the mind to look around at everything, but the sky above was a clear blue, covered by many thin clouds, and the sun was warm but not dazzling. Apart from that, there was nothing in the sky that could attract Hayato's attention.

However, beneath Hayato's feet, he saw several floating mountains that only appear in fantasy worlds, suspended above the earth without any support, and a magnificent, castle-like palace built on the largest mountain.

Although he wasn't from an ancient noble family, Hayato still had basic appreciation skills. The most luxurious and classical place he had ever been to in his life was Pegasus's castle, but even that ancestral castle of Pegasus paled in comparison to the palace before him.

Looking down at the castle below, Hayato suddenly moved and floated towards the castle below, showing no surprise.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. He was probably here because of the "god" that Aleister had mentioned. And the fact that he couldn't move no matter what he tried before, but was now moving forward on his own, must mean that the "god" wanted to see him.

Speculation without any clues is no different from wishful thinking; you might as well save your brain and figure out what that "god" is actually up to.

Also, Hayato found the palace somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen it before. Perhaps it was because buildings of this style were all similar? Hayato thought to himself.

However, as Hayato was drawn through the palace entrance by an invisible force, passed through the long corridor and entered the palace, the first thing he saw was a huge hole in the center of the palace floor, and a huge pillar extending from the ground, on which stood three giant dragon statues in different poses!

"Where is this!" Even though Hayato's memory was somewhat hazy due to the passage of time, when he saw the crystal statues of three giant dragons and the three sharp swords stuck in different positions on the statues, how could Hayato not remember what the three dragons in front of him were!
