Chapter 768: Lend Me the Power of the Earth
Chapter 768: Lend Me the Power of the Earth
The New Space transformed once more as Decade summoned, and in the vast depths of the universe, beyond the galaxy, it was as if the ancient and mysterious heart of the cosmos breathed softly, awakening a symphony of light and darkness.
In the moment silence was broken, dazzling beams of light flew like meteors, cascading down like a waterfall of light onto the field. Countless light particles danced within, as if imbued with life, and as they intertwined and collided, they coalesced into an elongated white body, emitting a gentle yet unignorable radiance, like the snow-capped mountains under the rising sun. The white body bore red markings, and on its chest was a dazzling blue crystal.
From the distant reaches of the universe, a miraculous Elemental Hero emerged—Elemental Hero New Universe Knight!
[Elemental Hero New Universe Knight, DEF 2000]
"From the universe, is this your new power?"
Tyrant Path.
"Indeed, it's a monster with a special power. But against Malevolent Blade Demon, it's still not up to par."
"It's not over yet," Decade said. "New Realm Connector, and another effect!
By offering a New Realm Connector on the field as an offering, you can Special Summon a 'New Space Samurai' monster or an 'Elemental Hero New Universe Knight' in Defense Position from the Graveyard!
I offer the 'New Realm Connector' as a sacrifice! I call back my New Space partner from the Graveyard."
The New Realm Connector turned into golden specks of light and dispersed, and the light gathered once more, transforming again into the drill mole form that had just disappeared.
Tyrant: "!"
It was that mole again, that damn mole.
Earth Mole stood confidently with his hands on his hips.
You didn't see that coming, did you? I'm back!
Even Malevolent Blade Demon couldn't help but feel uncomfortable seeing Mole again.
However—
[New Space Samurai Earth Mole, DEF 300]
"Even if it's Earth Mole, it must engage in battle with the opponent's monster to activate its effect," Tyrant said in a deep voice. "In Defense Position, the effect can't be triggered."
Although having Earth Mole on the field meant that Decade couldn't easily launch an attack, it didn't matter. In the next turn, he could just use Malevolent Blade Demon's field-clearing effect to get rid of it.
Even in Defense Position, Mole posed no threat.
"Is that really the case?"
Decade smiled and boosted his coolness stat?
"Huh?"
"New Universe Knight is an Elemental Hero with limitless evolution potential, a miracle in itself," Decade explained. "Facing different situations and opponents, it can evolve infinitely! I'll show you what I mean."
Decade raised his arm high.
"I return 'Elemental Hero New Universe Knight' and 'New Space Samurai Earth Mole' from the field to the Deck, Fusion Contact!"
"Fusion Contact?" This concept surprised even Tyrant.
At this moment, Tyrant and Decade had almost no overlap in the first half of their lives, with separate memories and experiences. Therefore, this newly acquired New Universe power was quite rare for Tyrant.
"Earth Mole, lend me your power!" Decade shouted. "Earth Drill, break through the sky! Fusion Contact—
—Elemental Hero Earth New Universe Knight!"
"Leave it to me!"
Earth Mole called out confidently, and with a sway of his body, he transformed from a physical form into a golden energy state, shimmering with dazzling light as he merged with New Universe Knight. It was as if his form had overlapped with New Universe Knight's.
New Universe Knight spread his arms, as if feeling the power from the depths of the earth. The blue crystal on his chest began to glow brightly, and golden specks of light gathered around him, forming a thick green armor from the coalescing particles, radiating the steadiness and resilience of the earth.
Golden light converged in his palm, forming a rapidly spinning giant drill that enveloped his entire right arm, as if capable of piercing through any obstacle.
Elemental Hero Earth New Universe Knight, Fusion Summon!
[Elemental Hero Earth New Universe Knight, ATK 2500]
"Fusion Contact? It transformed into a new form by acquiring the power of that Mole?" Tyrant had a bad premonition.
"Elemental Hero New Universe Knight gains an additional 500 ATK in the New Universe Field!" Decade declared.
[Elemental Hero Earth New Universe Knight, ATK 2500 → ATK 3000]
"But last turn, you destroyed my Sky Hummingbird with its effect, and Malevolent Blade Demon's ATK has already risen to 3200." Tyrant stated coldly, "And even if it weren't for that, Malevolent Blade Demon also has the ability to resist destruction."
"So what?"
"What?"
Decade shouted, "Elemental Hero Earth New Universe Knight inherits the power of the Earth Mole!
Once per turn, this card can directly target one monster on your opponent's field and return it to its owner's hand!"
Tyrant: "!"
Instead of destroying, it was bounced back to the hand.
Damn.
"Nebula Void!" Decade shouted.
Earth New Universe Knight's right-hand drill started up, spinning at such a speed that it left a blurry white afterimage. The drill not only broke through the sky but also tore through dimensions. The dimensional rift opened before Malevolent Blade Demon, and the unstoppable gravitational force was so powerful that it almost distorted the demon's body, sucking it in like a piece of paper.

The demon was sucked in, looking helpless, as if saying, "See, I knew this mole would bring trouble."
"Malevolent Blade Demon is a Fusion Monster, so it can't return to the hand but goes directly back to the Fusion Deck!" Decade explained.
Tyrant: "..."
"Elemental Hero Earth New Universe Knight, direct attack!"
Earth New Universe Knight let out a mighty battle cry, and the spinning drill on its right hand glowed with a golden light, transforming into a piercing laser that penetrated Tyrant!
"I activate a Set card." Tyrant said coldly, "Trap Card 'Absorption Shield.'
The opposing monster's attack becomes invalid, and the opponent gains Life Points equal to the ATK of that monster."
Decade: "!"
A rainbow-colored water shield appeared in front of Tyrant, and Earth New Universe Knight's full-power strike landed entirely on the colorful shield, absorbing and converting all the energy into Life Points.
[Tyrant, LP 2400 → LP 5400]
Earth New Universe Knight retreated reluctantly.
"Sorry, Decade, my attack ended up restoring your opponent's Life Points."
"No, it's fine." Decade shook his head.
The pitfall was inevitable, and Life Points were just clouds in the sky as long as they couldn't be reduced to zero. After spending so much time with You Xuan, he had also been influenced by his way of thinking.
Originally, Fusion Monsters must return to their owner's Fusion Deck at the end of the turn—a tribute to Ultraman's three-minute limit on Earth.
Ultraman can only fight for three minutes on Earth, and New Universe Knight can only stay on the field for one turn. It made sense.
However, with the Field Magic "New Universe" in play, this side effect can be negated, and players can freely choose whether to return New Universe Knight to the Deck.
So, naturally, Decade chose not to activate it.
"I equip the Magic Card 'Simple New Universe' to 'Elemental Hero Earth New Universe Knight'!" Decade declared.
When equipped with Simple New Universe, the Fusion Monster doesn't have to return to the Deck at the end of the turn. However, with New Universe in play, there's no need to return to the Deck, so Decade's target wasn't this effect but another one.
When the equipped monster leaves the field, it can have an additional Will effect, Special Summoning Elemental Hero New Universe Knight from the hand, Deck, or Graveyard.
"I Set another card. End of the turn."
