Chapter 18: There Is Nothing Wrong with the Electronic Dragon Deck Relying on Fusion to Win.

"Invincible? That's not fun to talk about." Hayato knows better than anyone what kind of debuff "invincible" is. Even the invincible Jo Taro will fall, and the invincible father with golden dandruff has suffered from it.

However, this card [Soul Barrier] is really tricky. As long as there is a monster as a barrier, it can protect Amon from combat damage. It is a perfect match with [Cloud Monster], which has weak attack power but is generally resistant to combat damage. It is just right. It makes up for the biggest flaw of [Cloud Monster].

However, Hayato still uses the [Electronic Dragon] deck, which uses strong attack as the main means of victory. It's not that the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck doesn't have the means to destroy the backfield, [Chimeric Raging Dragon] has the effect of destroying the magic and trap cards on the field equal to the number of its fusion materials when summoned by fusion.

But the problem is that Hayato does not have [Chimeric Tyrannosaurus], and the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck he obtained only has two fusion monsters, [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon] and [Cyber ​​Twin Dragon].

In order to enhance the strength of the terminal, Hayato also spent DP points to draw cards and buy cards, but in the end he only got [Chimeric Overload Dragon] and the invincible [Double Bicycle Robot], but even these two monsters It also has no effect on [Soul Barrier].

Of course, Hayato also played three [Tornados] in his deck, but without getting started, everything is in vain.

Although [Electronic Twin Dragons] could attack again, it could neither destroy the [Cloud Monster] on Amon's field nor cause damage to him. Hayato had no choice but to play the card in his hand:

"Activate the continuous magic card [Nightmare Mirage], my turn ends."

["Tan Li Dou": 4000LP, 0 cards in hand]

【Electronic Twin Dragons】【ATK2800】

[Nightmare Mirage]

"Huh, even though you are young, it does make Cammy feel troubled. It's hard to imagine that you are the child of that grumpy guy in Ptah, even though you are not your biological son."

Hearing "Tan Li Dou"'s words, Amon Gallem's face showed a rare and obvious change: "Do you know my father?"

"It doesn't count as acquaintance, because if we have to say it, we just met each other, and we didn't even speak more than five sentences." Hayato spread his hands, "I just witnessed that guy's angry look after losing the duel. That’s all.”

In the duel kingdom, Ptah Garam was one of the top eight finalists. At that time, his opponents were the legendary duelist, the man who was betrayed by the goddess of luck, the strong luck man, the will of mortal bones, and the black dragon messenger. Within the city, there is restraint. The easy victory was overturned by Jonouchi with an [Angel's Dice]. Ptah was so angry that he left Bekas's castle.

Although when Hayato and Yugi fought Becas later, due to the need to cooperate with the International Illusion Society, he returned to the castle to watch the battle.

Thinking about it now, two years have passed since Hayato came to this world. It seems that Ptah has inherited his father's position, became the president of the Gallem Foundation, and also adopted the man in front of him named Ah. Confused boy.

Compared to Ptah, who was irritable because of his failure in the duel, Amon Gallem was as calm as if he was watching someone else's duel. It's not the kind of indifference that has no desire to win or lose the duel. This young boy seems to have always set his sights on something further away.

"I see. However, I don't think your talent is that outstanding. If you want to be called a god, you must at least defeat me first." Amon said calmly, while speaking, he put his fingers on the duel plate. Planning to draw the card, "My turn, draw——"

Hayato looked at Amon's expression, but suddenly laughed: "You actually regard yourself as a test to test my divine talents. How arrogant. Oh, that's not right. You are actually feeling inferior, right?"

Amon's hand paused, and he looked up at "Tan Li Dou" with an unknown smile on his face, expressionless: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Huh? Is that so?" Hayato waved his hand easily, "God's talent is infallible. Just tell me whether it is true or not through your duel, Amon Gallem~"

Frowning, Amon's hand paused on the card deck, not knowing what he was thinking. After a few seconds, he chose to forget the unclear words from "Tan Li Dou": "My turn, draw a card."

"Then during your preparation phase, I will activate the effect of [Nightmare Mirage Tower] on my field." Hayato put his free hand on the deck and suddenly pulled out four cards, "In the opponent's preparation During the phase, I draw cards from the deck until the number of cards in my hand returns to four, and in the preparation phase of my next turn, I discard the number of cards I drew.”

"A card with unknown meaning." Amon frowned, not knowing why Hayato would activate such a card. "You don't have any cards on the field that can use the resources in your hand. You must use them at the beginning of your preparation phase. Discard all four cards in your hand."

"Even if you draw some powerful card, you can't use it during my turn."

That being said, Amon actually remembers the [Red Restart] in the information about "Tan Li Dou". But for Amon, who has no cards on the field, even [Red Restart] poses no threat.

After looking at the drawn card, Amon played it and activated: "Magic card [Pot of Desire], I draw two cards from the deck."

"Then I activate the effect of [Cloud Monster - Storm Dragon], once per turn, and place a [Fog Counter] on a face-up monster on the field. The object I choose is [Cloud Monster - Turbulent Air]. Then remove one [Fog Counter], activate the effect of [Cloud Monster - Turbulent Airflow], and special summon [Cloud Monster - Small Smoke Ball] from the graveyard."

As [Cloud Monster-Small Smoke Ball] resurrected on Amon's field, he looked down at a card in his hand.

What "Tan Li Dou" said was actually not wrong, because no one knew better than Amon himself the inferiority complex in his heart.

Before he was adopted by Ptah Gallem and given the surname "Gallem", Amon was just an orphan from a poor area. The experience of struggling for survival in his early years has always been engraved in Amon's mind. Forgetting and because of this, Amon was full of gratitude to Ptah Gallem who adopted him and raised him as his biological son and heir.

Although Putah has an unstable personality, he is a very competent adoptive father. He is very attentive to Amon's education and told him that if he wants to become the president of the Gallem Consortium, the most important thing is not talent but measure. He must have The ambition to become the best in the world, to become a king and to become a god can lead the Garham Consortium to higher places.

And Amon did indeed try to cultivate a "king's heart" for himself just as Ptah taught him.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Not long ago, Amon learned something - his wife, who had been married to Ptah for a long time and had no children, was finally pregnant, and it was expected to be a boy. In other words, the position of "heir to the Garham Consortium" that Amon took over, the one with the legitimate qualifications has returned.

Although Ptah still cared for Amon as always, Amon himself was aroused to have an inferiority complex. Under the entanglement, he took the initiative to find Ptah, explained to him that he would not accept the identity of the heir, and He vowed to help his unborn brother, Sid.

"I really feel inferior to myself. I feel inferior to me because I was just an orphan. I had great luck and was adopted by the Gallem Consortium. I feel inferior to myself. Everything I have comes from the gift from heaven..."

‘But, only duel monsters are different. This deck of [Cloud Monsters] was not purchased with the help of the Garlem Foundation, but I collected it one by one myself. ’

‘Only in Duel Monsters can I use my own power instead of the power of the Garham Consortium to do things that even my father can’t do! ’

Raising his head, Amon's eyes met Hayato's. It was also the first time that Hayato saw the desire for victory in the eyes of this young man with a hairstyle who was very good at playing cards: "This look is interesting."

"Tan Lidu, I want to win this duel. Because my goal is the duel king. I want to become the KC Cup champion and defeat Kobayashi Hayato!"

Amon Gallem, who didn't know that "Tan Li Dou" was Hayato Kobayashi, raised the card in his hand: "Take the [Cloud Monster - Small Smoke Ball] and [Cloud Monster - Turbulent Air] on my field as a sacrifice. Make a higher-level summons!"

"The glory leading to the future, even this windless land can stir up strong winds! Come out, the ace in my deck, [Cloud Monster-Typhoon Eye]!!"

[Cloud Monster - Turbulent Air Current] and [Cloud Monster - Small Smoke Ball] were liberated with Amon's command. The smoke and air flow that were no longer bound by the power of duel monsters began to spread, and [Cloud Monster - Storm] stood aside. It was continuously expanded under the leadership of Dragon].

In just a few breaths, the smoke cloud of the [Small Smoke Ball] was completely blown away by the [turbulent airflow] into a vast cloud, but it was also pulled toward the center by the centripetal force of the high-speed airflow. The storm continued to expand, and the [Storm Dragon] began to circle around the huge tornado.

Suddenly, a huge one-eye appeared in the storm, and then a pair of huge fists stretched out from the storm and hit the ground!

[Cloud Monster-Typhoon Eye] [8☆/Wind]

【Aquatic/Effect】

【3000/1000】

Looking at the [Cloud Monster-Typhoon Eye], which was as big as a giant, Hayato not only did not feel fear, but showed an interesting smile: "This is how it should be, compared to the group of miscellaneous fish that swarmed up just now , only at this level can it be considered a qualified game."

Amon raised his head and looked at [Cloud Monster-Typhoon Eye]. Although the appearance was much uglier than the cute duel monsters like [Little Smoke Ball], he felt extremely relieved when he saw the appearance of [Typhoon Eye].

"[Cloud Monster-Typhoon Eye] is the strongest [Cloud Monster] monster in my deck." Adjusting his glasses, Amon looked at the [Electronic Twin Dragons] on Hayato's field, waved his hand and ordered, "Now then , enter my battle stage!"

"[Cloud Monster-Typhoon Eye], attacks [Electronic Twin Dragons], the ultimate storm fist!"

Following Amon's high-spirited order, [Cloud Monster - Typhoon Eye] raised its thick arm and punched out with a punch. Although it was supposed to be an insubstantial cloud, the fist of [Typhoon Eye] instantly dispersed the beam of light ejected by [Electronic Twin Dragon] when it counterattacked, and then destroyed it with a heavy blow and sent it to the graveyard!

["Tan Li Dou": 4000→3800LP]

"Then, it's a direct attack from [Cloud Monster-Storm Dragon]!"

Amon took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack. [Storm Dragon] opened its mouth and let out a breath of cold air. On such a cold day, Hayato shivered with this attack, and his base score dropped again.

["Tan Li Dou": 3800→2800LP]

"Even if your talent is really like that of a god, I will not lose to you, Tan Li Du. Because this is the duel that belongs to me, Amon Gallem." Amon covered the last card in his hand , "Cover a card, my turn ends!"

[Amon: 4000LP, 0 cards in hand]

[Cloud Monster-Eye of Typhoon] [ATK3000]

[Cloud Monster-Storm Dragon] [ATK1000]

[Soul Barrier] [Gaika]

"What a speech full of momentum, but just words are not enough. Fighting spirit cannot change the talent gap between you and me." Although he was obviously at a disadvantage, Hayato's speech was quite arrogant. If you want to ask why——

"On my turn, I draw a card, and then I activate [Extraordinary Food] in my hand to send [Nightmare Mirage] on my field to the graveyard, restoring my 1000 basic points." Put [Nightmare Mirage] on my field. [Qi Tower] is sent to the graveyard and then the card is used for free. Hayato uses this combo more and more smoothly.

And he can swear to God that he never put glue between [Extraordinary Food] and [Nightmare Mirage Tower].

["Tan Li Dou": 2800→3800LP]

"Then there is the magic card [Pot of Desire], and I add two more cards to my hand from the deck."

After activating [Pot of Desire], Hayato still had five cards in his hand, which didn't seem like a lot, but it was enough to win this duel.

Although I'm sorry for Caesar who made Sebadagon a classic monster in the hearts of countless people, but as Caesar said, in order to win, I am willing to give up my old friend Sebadagon!

Besides, [Electronic Dragon] is a deck that focuses on [Fusion], so I won’t have any problems with this combo next!

"As a game administrator, I know better than anyone else that no matter how difficult the game is, there must be a chance to crack it. But as a game administrator, I must cut you off before starting this ultimate game. This is your last hope, Amon."

As he spoke, Hayato showed a healthy smile and played a card: "Activate the magic card [Tornado] to unconditionally destroy any magic trap card on the field."

"Are you trying to destroy my [Soul Barrier]?" Amon subconsciously looked at the [Soul Barrier] protecting him. Because of the existence of this card, no matter how "Tanli Dou" attacks the [Cloud Monster] on his field that cannot be destroyed by battle, it will not cause damage to himself. If he thought about it from his perspective, Amon felt that if he were Tan Li Dou, he would give priority to destroying the [Soul Barrier].

But what surprised Amon was that "Tan Li Dou" shook his finger: "How can the designer's thoughts be guessed easily, how can he support the greatness of Zhen's talent? The powerful never reveal all their abilities. Power, power that is induced but not unleashed is the most dangerous!”

"Crush it to me. What I choose to destroy is the cover card in your backcourt!"

The [Tornado] blew by, unable to move even a single bit of the bodies of [Storm Dragon] and [Typhoon Eye], and headed straight for Gaika in Amon's backcourt. The strong wind tore Gaika into pieces. Before it was destroyed, Hayato saw clearly that Amon's Gaika was an [offensive cloud monster].

Hayato remembers that this card is a support card dedicated to [Cloud Monster]. Because the characteristic of [Cloud Monster] is that it will not be destroyed by battle in attack position and will directly self-destruct in defense position. To deal with [Cloud Monster] monsters, you only need to use [Nightmare's Labyrinth] or [Enemy Controller] to change the monster's position. The [Cloud Monster] can be easily solved with cards in the form.

[Offensive Cloud Monster] is the target card of this method. When [Cloud Monster] self-destructs due to its own effect and is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, the self-destructed monster can be resurrected and placed with [Fog Counter], and it can also be given Defense cards that will not change form resistance.

In short, it is actually a card that no matter whether Hayato breaks it or not, it will not have any impact on his subsequent combo. But people live for peace of mind, and Gaika who destroyed Amon gave Hayato an incomparable peace of mind, allowing him to unfold calmly.

"I activate the magic card [Angel's Alms], draw three cards from the deck, and then choose two cards in my hand to discard." After drawing three cards, Hayato sent two cards from his hand to the graveyard without hesitation, but Before one of the cards was sent to the graveyard, he specifically showed it, "One of the cards sent to my graveyard is [Executioner-Mosura]."

"A true card secret can even control the power of the dead. In the round when [Executioner-Masura] is sent to the graveyard, I can activate the trap card directly from my hand!"

"In this way, my divine talent completely surpasses the rules of dueling monsters!"

Amon also frowned.

The biggest feature of trap cards is that they need to be set on the field for one turn before they can be activated. Although some traps have the effect of being activated from the hand under certain conditions, "set" is always the biggest feature of trap cards. .

For this reason, Bekas generously gave many trap cards powerful effects to make up for the fact that they needed to be set. However, what would happen if trap cards no longer need to be set down and can be activated directly from the hand like magic cards?

The answer is——

"I activate the permanent trap card [DNA Transformation Surgery] directly from the cards in my hand, and declare [Psychic Tribe]." There are still three cards in Hayato's hand, while putting [DNA Transformation Surgery] into the magic of the duel disk In the trap area, he gestured with three fingers, "There are still three final steps before I win."

"The effect of [DNA Transformation Surgery], I remember is..." Amon glanced at the card played by Hayato, "As long as it exists on the field, it will change the race of all face-up monsters on the field to the declared one. Race?"

"Bingo!" Hayato snapped his fingers, "The operation is ready. Next is this card, [Zero Magic Crusher]!"

"The effect of this card is that if I discard a magic card from my hand, it will give you 500 points of damage. Because this effect is effect damage, it will not be blocked by [Soul Barrier]."

"Then there is the field magic card [Brain Development Institute]. When a telekinesis monster activates its effect at the cost of paying basic points, you can instead place a [Psychic Counter] on [Brain Development Institute]. Field magic card.”

"And the last step, I usually summon [Monster Eyes]!"

"Come and witness what the talent of God is!"

Hayato's hand of cards was completely emptied by him, and a research institute rose from the ground on his field. A rather terrifying-looking eyeball floated in the life-saving capsule in the center of the research institute.

【Monster Eyes】【1☆/Dark】

[Demon/Effect→Psychic/Effect]

【250/350】

Speaking of this [Brain Development Research Institute], is it the card that Hayato obtained after defeating the Super Aluminum Field who cheated in the duel in Duel City? If anything, can it actually be regarded as proof of the bond?

Hayato fell into narcissism, but Amon still didn't understand where the so-called "god's talent" of "Tanli Dou" was ultimately reflected.

Is it the simple magic machine in his backcourt, the field magic card that appeared on the duel field, or the eyeball monster soaked in nutrient solution?

"Aren't you confused? Yes, after all, not everyone can understand my talents." Hayato sighed artificially, pointing a finger at Amon, "After all, I am the God Tan Rito, and even the times cannot keep up with me. Use my talents!"

"The effect of [Monster Eye] is that by paying 1000 basic points, I can add a [Fusion] magic card from my graveyard to my hand, and I activate it!"

As Hayato raised his palm, the eyes of the [Monster Eyes] soaked in the nutrient solution lit up. The [Fusion] used by Hayato when summoning the [Electronic Twin Dragons] was recovered out of thin air into Hayato's hands. At the same time, it was in Hayato's hand. Beside you, an electronic screen lights up, which displays: "Number of uses remaining: 3"

Hayato's current base score is 3800 points, which means he can use the effect of [Monster Eye] three times.

However, what makes Amon strange is that "Tan Li Dou" has clearly used the effect of "Monster Eyes" to recycle "Fusion" into his hand, but why does the "Number of Uses Remaining" on the electronic screen next to him show up? "Still 3?"

Of course it’s not because Tachibana-senpai can only say 3, the answer is——

"[DNA transformation surgery] changes the race of [Monster Eye] to the telekinesis race I declared. When the telekinesis race uses an effect that requires paying base points, it can place [psychokinesis counters] on the [Brain Development Research Institute] As an alternative, that is to say, I can recycle [Fusion] from the graveyard an unlimited number of times and use [Zero Magic Crusher] to send it to the graveyard!"

Hayato proudly held [Fusion] with both hands and displayed it, and the numbers on the electronic screen beside him jumped wildly and changed to the maximum value of 99, "Then, continue to live until the level is cleared!"
