"The final round?" Even the Thunder Dragon, acting as the judge, couldn't help but question.
This was quite evident.
"The final round? You only have one card in your hand, and your Fusion Card has been used up to save your allies, helping them."
"In fact, even the Monster Card in your Graveyard that could serve as Fusion Material has been retrieved by your ally," Kujakujaku said incredulously.
"Furthermore, even your Ace Monster, Gem-Knight Prismaura, was added to Tenjouin Fubuki's Extra Deck. What can you do at this point?" Hundred Dragon added.
"Moreover, you can't even draw a card!"
Listening to these adverse conditions, Tenjo Hikari didn't show any fear and just said,
"Does it matter?"
"Doesn't it matter!?" Both Guardians were shocked, and Kujakujaku's feathers stood on end, "If you could have ended the battle this round, couldn't you have done it last round? No matter what Fusion you have in your hand, there's no way you can save this situation, right?"
A cluster of Spirits gathered around Tenjo Hikari, continuously agreeing, "Yes, yes."
"Too naive!"
"Fusion has no limits!"
"Since my senior was willing to entrust this crucial point to me, we will surely win!"
Tenjo Hikari shouted, "If it's Fusion, even with just this situation, there is no problem at all!"
No, no, no—
A group of Spirits couldn't help but shake their heads in unison.
This has nothing to do with [Fusion], does it!?
Just then.
Tierra noticed a sneaky little golden ball, glanced at it, and snapped her fingers. The next moment, the giant Archfiend beneath Tenjo Hikari slightly moved, causing Hikari to tilt just a bit.
The lightning ball saw this and immediately became excited, then rushed even faster toward Tenjo Hikari.
"Little One!?"
Several elderly Spirits recognized it, this Spirit full of curiosity and vitality that had largely gone unnoticed for some time, now channeling all its energy, dashing toward Tenjo Hikari.
When Hikari was hit by the golden ball of electricity, he suddenly lowered his head, staring at the lightning in his Deck.
The Thunder Dragon slowly retracted its dragon head.
The seeker of Ultimate Fusion?
Perhaps he is the one we've been waiting for, the one who can change the situation?
"I activate the Set card!"
Electric sparks seemed to shoot from Tenjo Hikari's eyes: "Normal Spell Card!"
"Pot of Greed!"
"Pot of Greed!?"
"What? Why is it Pot of Greed!"
"No way, that guy, he actually—"
Exactly!
The card set by Tenjouin Fubuki was none other than the very familiar Pot of Greed!
"A card that lets you draw two cards unconditionally, yet that human didn't use it in his turn, instead, leaving it for his ally!?"
"If he draws something useful, won't he win for sure!?"
The two Guardians widened their eyes.
They never expected it.
What Tenjouin Fubuki left behind was actually this!
Honestly, even Tenjo Hikari didn't expect it—
But it happened!
This was Tenjo Hikari's first time using this card in this world. Honestly, such a Forbidden Card in his world, one that could be super fused in this world, now had a chance to be used! This made him incredibly excited!
It's like a TCG player dropping Maxx "C" in a Master Duel for the first time, exhilarating!
"Pot of Greed's effect, draw two cards!"
He swiftly drew the cards, then glanced at them, and upon seeing the cards, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The card containing electric light couldn't be anything but Thunder Dragonmatrix, right?
Could it be?
He looked at Tierra, who tilted her head as if she hadn't noticed anything. He was momentarily speechless, then looked back at the cards, seeing the emerging image and support, he understood what had happened.
It seems it has decided to follow me to the world beyond the [Mountain]!
"Alright, if that's the case—I'll activate the Spell Card in the Graveyard, Thunder Dragon Fusion's effect!"
"Banish this card from the Graveyard that wasn't sent there this turn; add 1 Thunder-Type Monster from your Deck to your hand!
I'll add a Thunder Dragon from the Deck to my hand!"
He took the Thunder Dragon from his Deck.
Then he revealed the card in his hand: "Next, I Normal Summon—Thunder Dragonmatrix!"
A golden sphere of lightning appeared on Tenjo Hikari's field, and the surrounding Spirits shrieked in surprise upon seeing it.
"Koyori!?"
"Why did you run over there—"
Several elder Spirits looked anxious.
"No need to panic." The voice of the Thunder Dragon rumbled through the world, "He has already made his own decision."
"Next, activate the effect of Thunder Dragon from my hand card, discard it, and add up to two Thunder Dragons from the deck to the hand!
I will add the other two Thunder Dragons to my hand!"
"Next, the Spell Card, Polymerization!"
This is indeed the most primitive form of fusion!
"Using the most original fusion?"
"You're planning to summon the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, I suppose?" The Hundred Dragon flapped its wings, "But even the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon cannot defeat us this turn."
After all, the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon has an Attack Power of 2800, while the Dark Simorgh has an Attack Power of 2700, and they still have a full 2000 Life Points, there's nothing to fear.
However, Tenjo Hikari paid no mind to their words and continued with his own plays.
"I fuse the two Thunder Dragons in my hand!"
"Fusion Conditions are two Thunder Dragons!"
"Fusion Summon!"
"LV 7, Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon!"
The classic Twin-Headed Dragon, controlling lightning and commanding the storm, appeared on Tenjo Hikari's field.
Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, LV 7, Light Attribute, Thunder-Type, Attack Power 2800.
"I keep saying, the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon is useless, right?" Kujakujaku shook its head, raising a bird claw, shaking it continuously, "Instead of that, you should keep Koyori, it can boost the attack power of Thunder-Type Monsters in your hand."
"Yeah." The Hundred Dragon let out a gentle breath.
"No—"
Tenjo Hikari looked at the Super Polymerization in his hand but didn't activate it, instead pointed to the field:
"It's time!"
"Let everyone witness the moment of a brand-new fusion evolution!"
"?"
"Talking about fusion when there's none? "
"And how can Koyori and the Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon fuse?"
However, before they could react, they saw Thunder Dragonmatrix on the field flickering with electric light, the snake-like figure inside the thunderball kept changing, growing bigger, the thunderball started to slowly expand, then with a "pop" sound, the sphere cracked, a small Thunder Dragon slowly appeared on the field, immediately afterward, it grew larger and darker!
The crackling sound of electric light!
This differently colored Thunder Dragon gradually grew wings!
A new Thunder Dragon never seen by all the Spirits revealed its form!
"What—what is that!???"
"Ko-Koyori evolved?"
"In the turn when a Thunder-Type Monster's effect activates from hand, if you release one Thunder-Type Monster on your field except a Fusion Monster, you can special summon it from the Extra Deck!
Behold! The moment when the new [Fusion] descends!"
"This is——
Further into fusion evolution!"
"Descend between heaven and earth!"
"Thunder Dragon Colossus!"
"Roar—" A childish cry emerged from the tiny dragon's mouth.
Although it had become a Fusion Monster with an imposing look, it was still adorably small.
Thunder Dragon Colossus, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Thunder-Type, Attack Power 2600!
"Koyori, evolved." The Hundred Dragon stared dazedly at it.
"A new Thunder Dragon different from any before!?" Kujakujaku felt like its beak might dislocate.
Is this the new Monster Card born in a two-on-two Duel, through fusion derived from the bond between Duelists?
"Battle!"
"Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon attacks Dark Simorgh!"
[Mountain] Guardians, LP: 2000→1900.
"And then!"
"Thunder Dragon Colossus's direct attack!"
The small black dragon flew in front of its two big brothers, spitting lightning at them. Though painless, the two Spirits feigned a greatly affected expression, yelling "Wahhh" as they fell backward.
[Mountain] Guardians, LP: 1900→0!
"The winner, the human's warrior!" Seeing this, the Thunder Dragon lifted its head slowly, spitting out a string of lightning from its mouth, spreading the news to the entire [Mountain], sparking countless electric lights across the sky over the [Mountain], forming many lightning patterns, resembling celebratory confetti and fireworks, celebrating this victory.
What a beautiful duel!
