Chapter 770: Illuminating the Darkness
Chapter 770: Illuminating the Darkness
Tyrant: "What?!"
What is this kid talking about?
Is he trying to make the Tyrant, the ruler of the twelve dimensions and the embodiment of darkness, see a bright future?
Has the impact from earlier damaged his brain?
But Decade's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"My turn, draw!"
Decade declared.
"I activate the Magic Card 'Gate of Contact'! By removing two 'New Space Samurai' monsters from the Graveyard, I banish them from play. Then, I Special Summon two 'New Space Samurai' monsters from my hand, Deck, or Graveyard!"
Decade removed two cards from his Graveyard.
"I banish the 'New Space Samurai Dark Panther' and 'New Space Samurai Radiant Moss' from the Graveyard and Special Summon 'New Space Samurai Flame Beetle' from my Deck! Additionally, I Special Summon the 'New Space Samurai Earth Mole' that was fused back into the Deck last turn!"
[New Space Samurai Flame Beetle: ATK 500]
[New Space Samurai Earth Mole: ATK 900]
The Tyrant narrowed his eyes.
An Earth Mole, again an Earth Mole.
But it wasn't a significant problem.
With a Life Point total of 5400, even if the Evilblade Demon was bounced away, it wouldn't be an issue.
"I return 'Elemental Hero New Universe Knight', 'New Space Samurai Flame Beetle', and 'New Space Samurai Earth Mole' to the Deck, Triple Contact Fusion!"
Tyrant: "Triple Contact?"
"The power of flame and earth unite as one, burning with intensity—
—Elemental Hero Magma New Cosmos!!!"
One of Decade's frequently used cards in the later anime, the Magma New Cosmos, a powerful artifact with the strongest killing ability, summoned through Triple Fusion!
The Magma New Cosmos has a base ATK of 3000, and its ATK increases by 400 points for each card on both players' fields.
With the New Cosmos Field in play, it gains an additional 500 ATK from the field's effect, and since it counts as a card itself, it guarantees a minimum of 1300 ATK.
Adding the total of other cards on both fields, it easily reaches an ATK of 6000 to 7000.
Although the Tyrant was unaware of the Magma New Cosmos' effect, the Triple Fusion and the grand entrance with its impressive special effect hinted at its formidable nature.
Without hesitation, the Tyrant responded, "Counter Trap, 'Ascension Horn'!
When a monster is Special Summoned during your opponent's Main Phase, that Special Summon is negated, and those monsters are destroyed.
After that, your opponent can draw a card from their Deck, but... your opponent's Main Phase immediately ends."
Decade: "What?!"
Not only was the Magma New Cosmos destroyed before it even landed on the field, but his Main Phase was also forced to end. Decade looked at his Duel Disk's display, which had already skipped directly to the Battle Phase, and his field was still empty, limiting his options for this turn.
This meant he had to either summon a monster during the Battle Phase or proceed to Main Phase 2 without attacking—effectively forfeiting his attack rights for this turn.
".Then I'll draw a card and move to Main Phase 2," Decade said.
"Now you understand, your struggles are futile," the Tyrant said, "especially since you can't even conduct a proper battle."
"I will win," Decade stated.
The Tyrant stiffened.
"What?"
"I said I will win," Decade raised his head, a radiant smile on his face, "and it will be this turn."
Tyrant: "What?!"
This guy, even after having his attack rights stripped away, still dares to boast about winning this turn?
Is he joking?
"Duel victories aren't solely achieved through attacks, and this is something I learned from my irreplaceable friend."
Decade's smile widened, so bright that even the Tyrant, the ruler of the twelve dimensions, began to feel a sense of unease.
"Now, I'll show you.
I activate the Quick-Play Magic 'Burial from Another Dimension', which allows me to return up to three banished monsters to the Graveyard.
I return the 'Elemental Hero Wingman' and 'Elemental Hero Flame Doll' banished by 'Fusion Gate' to the Graveyard."
"Then, I activate the Magic Card 'Spider Web', allowing me to retrieve a card sent to the Graveyard one turn ago from my opponent's Graveyard," Decade explained, "and the card I'll retrieve from your Graveyard is the Quick-Play Magic 'Trap Accelerator'!"
"Next, I activate Trap Accelerator! Discard a card from my hand to directly activate a Trap Card from my hand."
"I activate the Trap Card 'Chain Material'!
During the turn this card is activated, when I perform a Fusion Summon, I can banish monsters from my hand, field, Graveyard, or Deck as Fusion Materials."
"Choose any Fusion Materials," the Tyrant said coldly, "but during the turn Chain Material is activated, you cannot attack, and the Fusion Summoned monster will be destroyed at the end of the turn.
Not to mention your Battle Phase has already passed, so what's the point of Fusion Summoning?"
"You'll see if it's useful or not," Decade said, "I activate the Field Magic 'Star Transformation', adding a Field Magic Card from my Deck to my hand.
I add the second 'Fusion Gate' from my Deck to my hand."
"Then, I activate 'Fusion Gate' again! By banishing monsters from play, I can perform a Fusion Summon."
"I activate the Continuous Magic 'Dimensional Rift'! As long as this card is in play, monsters sent to the Graveyard are banished from play instead."
The Tyrant's frown deepened as he still couldn't understand the purpose of these actions.
"With that, the preparations are complete."
Decade closed his eyes gently.
A scene from the past flashed before his eyes, a moment on the Duel Academy's lawn, bathed in warm sunlight, where he and You Xuan exchanged Decks and dueled.
At that moment, You Xuan showed him a path he had never imagined.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Decade was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Can Elemental Heroes be played like this?"
"Yes."
You Xuan put away the few cards he had used for the demonstration, returned them to Decade's deck, shuffled, and handed them to him with a smile.
"I'm just trying to inspire you. Even with Elemental Heroes, you can open up your thinking."
He spoke with a tone of encouragement, patting Decade on the shoulder.
"Your Elemental Heroes have infinite possibilities, Decade."
"You also have infinite possibilities."
"You just need to discover them yourself."
". "
Decade opened his eyes again.
Yes, his future had infinite possibilities, and even the Duel King had told him so.
How could he possibly stop here?
"I activate the effect of 'Fusion Gate' to perform a Fusion Summon using Fusion Gate!" Decade declared, "At this moment, I can use the effect of 'Chain Material' to select Fusion Materials from my deck or graveyard.
So I remove four monsters from play: 'Elemental Hero Wingman', 'Elemental Hero Flame Doll', 'Elemental Hero Clayman', and 'Elemental Hero Bubble Champion' for a Quadruple Fusion! Appear now—
—Elemental Hero Eternal Champion!"
The Perfect Edition is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar is the first to release this novel.
With the blessing of the Quadruple Energy, the strongest ace of You Shouji's early days, the hero who defeated the Three Phantom Demons with the Philosopher's Stone in the anime, Eternal Champion!
[Elemental Hero Eternal Champion, ATK 2900]
"When Eternal Champion is Fusion Summoned, all cards removed from play are returned to their owner's deck." Decade explained, "So, the four Heroes used as Fusion Materials and removed from play just now are all returned to my deck."
Wingman, Flame Doll, Lightning Knight, and Bubble Champion appeared in the air and flew back to Decade's deck as four-colored lights.
"Then I Tribute 'Elemental Hero Eternal Champion' for a Tribute Summon!"
Decade paused for a moment, glanced at the card in his hand, and whispered.
"You Xuan, let me borrow your power too."
Then he raised his head.
"Tribute Summon, Rebound Turtle!"
Tyrant: "?"
What the heck?
At the climax of the battle between the Righteous and Evil Heroes, the art style suddenly changed, and a turtle with an electromagnetic cannon on its back appeared on Decade's field.
[Rebound Turtle, ATK 1000]
Elemental Hero Rebound Turtle, Summon!
"Because of the effect of 'Dimensional Rift', the Tributed Eternal Champion is not sent to the graveyard but removed from play." Decade explained, "Then, I activate the Field Spell 'Fusion Gate' again!
And with the effect of 'Chain Material', I remove the Wingman, Flame Doll, Clayman, and Bubble Champion that were just shuffled back into the deck from play for a Fusion Summon—
—Elemental Hero Eternal Champion, Number Two!"
[Elemental Hero Eternal Champion B, ATK 2900]
"Then, when Eternal Champion is Fusion Summoned, the four Fusion Materials removed by Fusion Gate and the Tributed Eternal Champion A are all shuffled back into the deck!"
Decade waved his hand.
"Then, the effect of Rebound Turtle allows me to Tribute monsters on the field to deal damage to the opponent's monster equal to half its ATK.
I Tribute 'Elemental Hero Eternal Champion B' to deal damage equal to half its ATK!"
[Tyrant, LP 5400 → LP 3950]
The Tyrant could easily withstand this level of damage. However, even so, the Tyrant was already starting to breathe heavily.
"This."
"The Tributed Eternal Champion B, removed from play by the effect of 'Dimensional Rift'!"
"Then, I activate 'Fusion Gate' again, and according to the effect of 'Chain Material', I Fusion Summon the four Elemental Heroes of the Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind attributes from my deck!
—Elemental Hero Eternal Champion A!"
"When Eternal Champion A is Summoned, the four removed Heroes and Eternal Champion B are shuffled back into the deck."
"Then, the effect of Rebound Turtle allows me to Tribute Eternal Champion A to attack!"
[Tyrant, LP 3950 → LP 2500]
The Tyrant knelt on one knee, already panting.
Infinite LOOP!
This was the famous LOOP in the real-life card game environment, exclusive to the Elemental Heroes, known as the "Eternal Cannon." The two Eternal Champions take turns appearing, and their effects can infinitely recycle each other and the required Fusion Materials. Once formed, the opponent will be trapped in a hell of endless fire from the Eternal Champions.
This is the Elemental Hero, with infinite possibilities.
Literally, "infinite."
"Impossible."
For the first time, the Tyrant's golden eyes showed a hint of fear.
He was the Tyrant.
He was the invincible Tyrant, the master of ultimate darkness, the embodiment of power. With such power, he would never lose again, never be lost, and never feel pain.
It should have been like that.
How could he possibly be defeated by this weak shadow of himself?
Then he suddenly looked up and saw Decade staring at him.
Still with that sunny smile, like the warm spring sun.
"It's over." Decade said softly, "All the pain you sealed away, all the darkness, from now on... we'll bear it together."
Tyrant: ". "
The final blow.
"I activate the effect of Rebound Turtle again." Decade said, "I Tribute 'Elemental Hero Eternal Champion' to deal damage to the Tyrant equal to half its ATK."
[Tyrant, LP 1050 → LP 0]
