Chapter 1425: Ed: Caesar, I win again!

"Super-Strident-Blaze (Eternal Evolution Flame)!!!"

On Caesar's field, the [Electronic Terminator Dragon] that recovered its strength opened its three mouths at the same time, and three green laser beams wrapped in electric current shot out at the same time and attacked Ed's [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man].

"Unbelievable! Although he is a rookie in professional duels, Marufuji Ryo has shown extremely strong suppression power. Under the terrible suppression of Ed, he actually summoned his trump card, the absolute symbol of the famous style 'Electronic Style' - [Electronic End Dragon] during the battle phase!"

"The attack has begun! The Cyber ​​End Dragon, with an attack power of 4000 points, which even exceeds the attack power of the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon, has launched an attack. In addition, the effect of the only monster on the field of Ed has been sealed, and the cards in the back field have been used up in order to suppress Marufuji!"

"As last year's world champion, is Ed Phoenix, who was known as the 'Prince of Destiny', going to be defeated so miserably by the 'Caesar of Hell' Marufuji Ryo?"

"The attack hit! The attack of [Cyber ​​End Dragon] hit [D-hero Destroyer Phoenix Man]! However, the field was covered in smoke and dust from an extremely strong explosion. What was the final outcome of the battle!?"

"Mizunoe, what do you think?"

"When I was in school, my teacher often mentioned 'smoke but no damage', which means that if a large amount of smoke covers the field, there will most likely be some unexpected changes, and the damage originally expected will probably not be dealt. I think it is very similar to the scene at this moment!"

"Do you think that Contestant Ed still has hope of continuing to fight? But didn't he already use up all his resources?"

"No, not yet. He still has one last card in his hand! Professional commentators should draw conclusions. It must be that card that caused such a huge explosion, okay?"

This shows the importance of a professional commentator. Without the commentary of Sarada and Mizunotsuki, most of the audience would probably only be able to watch the show without being able to understand what was happening on the field. They would only wonder why the monsters on the field became stronger and weaker.

And not only the audience, but even Caesar benefited from the guess made by his senior to some extent, and remembered the only card that Ed drew with the effect of [D·Hero Gunner] during Caesar's preparation phase.

  As expected, when the smoke gradually dissipated, the [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] on Ed's field was still on the field. Ed's basic points did not return to zero, causing the duel to end and make it disappear. And just as Mizunotsuki speculated, the card that Ed had been holding in his hand disappeared!

"【D·hero Explosive Man】, this is the name of the card I just held in my hand." While wiping the cold sweat off his head in the smoke and dust, Ed pretended to be calm and said calmly, "And when the damage of the 【Electronic End Dragon】 and my 【D·hero Destruction Phoenix】 was being calculated, I activated the effect of this card!"

"I discard this card from my hand to activate it, causing the battle damage incurred against me in that battle to become 0 points, and then both duelists receive 1000 points of damage!"

In the smoke that was about to dissipate completely, the fire was rekindled, and then turned into a shock wave that suddenly spread and swept across the entire place. Just now, it was this smoke transformed by [D·hero Explosive Man] that blocked the damage of [Electronic Terminator Dragon] to Ed, but it could not completely absorb the impact and finally needed to release it.

The shock wave swept through the duelists on both sides, and both Ed's suit and Caesar's long windbreaker rustled, and the basic points of both sides dropped at the same time.

[Ed Phoenix: 2000→1000LP, Hand 1→0]

[Marufuji Ryo: 2000 → 1000 LP, 0 cards in hand]

Looking at Ed, whose cards and basic points were exactly the same as his own, Caesar frowned, "The battle damage has become 0, but [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] should be destroyed by the battle."

"Under normal circumstances, that's true." Without a hand card, Ed crossed his arms and said, "However, a Fusion Monster summoned by the effect of [D-Fusion] will not be destroyed by battle or effects during this turn."

"I see. So that's why you were so bold as to choose to destroy your own monster and my Cyber-Ender Dragon at the same time?"

"Yeah, it would be nice to drag someone into the water."

Seeing Ed's calm expression, Caesar felt that he was more and more difficult to deal with. Others didn't know, but he didn't know? Ed's [D·hero Destroy Phoenix Man] didn't just have two effects, but three, and the third effect was effective after being destroyed by any means.

  ——Don’t underestimate my intelligence network!

The first effect is to suppress the opponent's monster attack power, and the second effect is to destroy a card on your side of the field and a card on your opponent's field. These two effects can be regarded as the hero's suppression of evil enemies and a response to the "destruction" in the name, but the "Phoenix Man" part has not yet been explained.

Although it is [D·hero], the information obtained by Caesar pointed out that the prototype of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] is actually another combination of the two fusion materials of [E·hero Flame Wing Man] that the tenth generation has never used - rather than [E·hero Wing Man] as the main body, it is more like [E·hero Phoenix Man] that is fused with [E·hero Explosive Girl] in a relatively balanced manner.

  Unlike the effect of [E·hero Flame Wingman], which is more offensive, the effect of [E·hero Phoenix Man] is somewhat subtle and cannot be destroyed by battle, which just restrains the former. And [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man], which is based on [E·hero Phoenix Man], strengthens this "immortality" to activate when it is destroyed by battle or effect, and Special Summon any [D·hero] monster in the Graveyard during the next turn's preparation phase, including itself!

In other words, [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] is simply an indestructible cockroach. If it destroys the preparation phase of the next turn in this turn, it will immediately return to the field. Even its self-destruct effect can be used to actively blow up itself and the opponent's monster, or be used in pursuit or avoidance effects, etc. It has many wonderful uses.

It is precisely because of this that [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] was given the title of "Phoenix Cub" which is comparable to the "Crouching Dragon" of the [Super Magic Dragon Knight - True Red-Eyes Dragoon] with great suppressive power. What's more, a legendary music piece "Passionate Fusion Man" was even composed for it.

  Among them, it is praised: "Use ~ Fusion ~ Fate ~ ~ ~

Divinity~~Sprint Man~~~

Fusion Summoning

Destruction~Destruction~Phoenix Man~Descends~~~

Hiding in the toilet

Immortal body!"

However, since [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] is so strong, some people may have questions - why did Ed, who got [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man], not win the championship until last year, and was even said to be purely lucky?

Until then, let's randomly pick a few professional duelists who are ranked at the top of the world before Ed.

Maeda Kumazo (Top 10): The defense said to use a skateboard first, five blocks in the backcourt, pass!

Kajiki Yuta (Top 8): Blow up the board? Blow up only two cards and that counts as blowing up the board? [Sea Dragon - Daedalus] did it too.

Thief Keith (Top6): All three coins are heads, Yadda Thief!

  Dinosaur Ryuzaki (Top 4): You mean, he's going to help me blow up the [Microceratops]?

Peacock Dance (Top2): While [Amazon Queen] is present, my other [Amazons] will not become the target of the effect and will not be destroyed by the effect!

Jonouchi Katsuya (Top1): I don't understand. I play Red-Eyes.

In fact, even if we ignore the current situation where the top 10 professional duelists are all very good at drawing dogs, and instead put [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] in a duel environment in another world, its strength as a terminal is actually just so-so and not particularly outstanding, and the same goes for [Super Magic Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragoon].

What they are really worthy of praise for is that their appearance difficulty is much lower than those terrifying suppression powers. Those who are as easy to appear as them have less suppression power than "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix"; those who have the same suppression power as "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix" have a higher appearance difficulty than them. This is the real strength of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] and [Super Magic Dragon Knight-True Red-Eyes Dragoon].

Looking back at the field, looking at [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] on Ed's field and [Electronic End Dragon] on his own field that had already attacked, Caesar, with an empty hand, could only say helplessly: "My turn is over."

"You're lucky to have escaped from a life-threatening situation, Ed." Although he couldn't kill Ed now, that didn't stop Caesar from harassing him with the trash talk he learned at school. "Now even I have to admit that 'fate' does exist." "And just as you said, the result of the duel was indeed 'complete defeat', but you seemed to have made a mistake when you were fortune-telling, and mistook your own result for mine. Haha, hahahaha!"

[Ryo Marufuji: 1000LP, 0 cards in hand]

[D·hero Defender] [DEF2700]

【Electronic Terminator Dragon】【ATK4000→2800】

As Caesar's turn ends, the effect of [Forbidden Drop], which can only last for one turn, disappears, and the effect of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] is restored to re-suppress the attack power of the monsters on Caesar's field.

Also, because Ed sent [D·hero Dynamite] to the graveyard, the increase in the number of [Hero] cards in the graveyard made the suppression power of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] increase a little, suppressing the attack power of the three-headed [Cyber ​​End Dragon] to the same level as the two-headed [Cyber ​​Twin Dragons].

The attack power of [D·hero Destruction Phoenix] also recovered after losing the suppression of [Forbidden Drop], and the gap between it and [Cyber ​​End Dragon] was narrowed again.

"Tsk, it's just a momentary show of strength. The final victory will still belong to me, [D-hero]!" Ed said, pulling a card from the deck, "My turn, draw a card!"

After looking at the card he drew and adding it to his hand, Ed reached out to the deck again: "At this moment, the effect of [D·Hero Defense] on the opponent's field is forced to activate!"

"During your opponent's Standby Phase, if this card is face-up, your opponent draws a card from his deck." Ed said, and drew another card, "Draw!"

[Ed Phoenix: 1000LP, 2 cards in hand]

[D.hero Destruction Phoenix Man] [ATK1250→2500]

"I see, this is the price of strong defense." Caesar looked at the [D. Hero Defenseman] on his field with dissatisfaction, and then looked at Ed again, "So, did you draw the card you wanted after drawing cards twice in a row?"

Although the duel had only reached the third round, both sides only had 1000 points left, so whoever could inflict more damage on the other side would win. Without the means of effective damage or direct attack, Ed's only choice was to defeat Caesar's monsters.

However, [D·hero Destruction Phoenix], who has the standard protagonist's ace attack power, has to face [D·hero Defense Man], which has one of the best defenses among Level 4☆ monsters, and [Cyber ​​End Dragon], which is bigger than a lean camel. Neither of them can be destroyed by him in battle.

In that case, you can only choose to use the effect.

"Magic Card, [Dark Realm Attraction] is activated. Both duelists draw a card from their decks. After that, the duelist who drew the card chooses a card in his or her hand and discards it." Ed played the card and said, "Unlike you who can only discard the card you drew, I choose to discard this card!"

"And then, because of the increase in the number of [Hero] cards in the graveyard, the attack power of [Cyber ​​End Dragon] will drop by another 200 points!"

【Electronic Terminator Dragon】【ATK2800→2600】

Although the number of cards in hand was reduced from two to one, and a card was lost in order to discard a card in hand, there was no other way. After all, the only card in Ed's deck, [Angel's Charity], had already been used in the first round.

  But it doesn't matter, because the lost cards can be earned back by Special Summoning that monster later!

Caesar looked at the card he had drawn and calmly sent it to the graveyard. Then he watched as Ed played the second card right after [Dark Realm Extraction]. "Although another [Hero] card is entering the graveyard, the attack power of [Cyber ​​End Dragon] seems to be lower than my [D·Hero Destruction Phoenix Man], but this 1400 points of attack power suppression seems to have reached its limit and cannot be increased any further."

"In that case, why not stop pursuing more suppression and use the power of the cards in the graveyard. Maybe we can retreat to advance!" Ed said with a wave of his hand, "I activate the magic card, [Resurrection of the Dead], and Special Summon the same monster in the graveyard of both parties to my field. I choose [D·hero Discman] that I just sent to the graveyard!"

  (Note: animation effect)

[D·hero disc man] [1☆/dark]

【Warrior/Effect】

[300/300]

"Then when it is successfully Special Summoned from the Graveyard, the effect of [D-Hero Discman] is activated, and I draw two cards from my deck!"

  ——Although he doesn’t have the convenient [E·hero Bubble Man] like the tenth generation, Ed, who uses [D·hero], also has his own "Greedy Boy"!

Looking at the trap card and the [Fusion] magic card he had drawn, Ed smiled confidently again: "It looks like I won this duel, Caesar! Fate is on my side!"

  Although I drew a trap card that cannot take effect immediately, this [Fusion] magic card is enough. The "last straw that breaks the camel's back" that I need has appeared!

"I activate the effect of [D·hero Majin] in my graveyard, banish it, and Special Summon the last [D·hero Majin] from my deck!" Ed did not stop after placing the monster card horizontally on the field, "Then I activate the magic card [Fusion]! I use [D·hero Disc Man] and [D·hero Majin] on my field as fusion materials and perform a Fusion Summon!"

"The material requirements are two [D·hero] monsters!"

"Heroes who bear the sins of the disc creatures, heroes who abuse the world, now merge into one, and reign in the dark future!"

Ed clasped his hands in front of him and shouted,

"Fusion Summon, Level 8☆!"

  The fusion vortex swallowed up the two monsters, causing the number of monsters in Ed's cemetery to remain unchanged, still providing [D·hero Destruction Phoenix Man] with 1400 points of attack power suppression on Caesar throughout the field, and a new [D·hero] monster seemed to be about to appear from the fusion!

The dark energy gathered together and condensed into a black and purple hole that was easily grasped by a pair of hands. The close-fitting reinforced combat suit was covered with purple and gold armor. The "D" symbol on the helmet with a "T"-shaped gap lit up, and another powerful [D·hero] descended on the Amity field!

"Come on! [D·hero——"

Placing the card on the duel disk, Ed shouted, "-Dystopian]!"
