Enveloped in tangible, high-temperature flames and radiating intense energy, the red God of Destruction descended before everyone in its ultimate form at the call of Marufuji Sho.

Facing the direction of Sword Mountain, the War God Mech extended its cannon without hesitation.

A powerful surge of destructive energy was steadily building up inside the cannon barrel.

"An attack power of 4000... Extreme Fighter King: War God Robot?"

Muttering the monster's name, Kenzan involuntarily raised his head, trying to get a clear look at the monster's full appearance.

Just like its name suggests, this Full Star Fusion Monster, which contains ultimate power and is formed by the fusion of five [Machine] monsters, has a huge size that matches that of a king.

Its overall size is almost comparable to the [Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base] that was just summoned using the [Provoke] effect...

Its enormous size, its intense sense of pressure, and its powerful, solid body...

What need is there for a mobile fortress?

This setup... [Extreme Fighter King War God Mech] is the strongest fortress itself!

"Battle has begun! Sword Mountain! [Extreme Fighter King War God Mech] (Attack Power: 4000) attacks [Dark Tyrannosaurus Rex] (Attack Power: 2600)!"

Despite possessing powerful attributes and the ability to launch a second attack, the [Extreme War Machine King War God Robot] cannot directly attack its opponent.

Therefore, Marufuji Sho chose to let this monster launch an attack first, so that it could fight the Tyrannosaurus Rex monster on which Broken Sword Mountain placed its hopes.

“——Gu!”

Without any suspense, the monster of Sword Mountain was targeted and locked onto by the cannon of the War God Machine, and then sent to the graveyard with a single blow, becoming a fossil in the future.

As a result of the aftershocks, Kenzan's life points were reduced by the difference in attack power between the two monsters, which is 1400 points of damage.

(Dilano Kenzan LP: 4000→2600)

"It's not over yet! The effect of [Extreme Fighter King War God Machine] is activated! The effects of the opponent's effect monsters attacked by this card are negated after damage calculation, and if the opponent's monster is destroyed by battle, inflict 1000 damage to the opponent's Life Points."

Turning the cannon around, the War God robot delivered another blow to Sword Mountain, firing a small laser beam that sent him tumbling to the ground behind him.

(Dilano Kenzan LP: 2600→1600)

"Ouch~ that hurts! But..."

"Hehehe... What are you planning to do next, Marufuji Sho-senpai?"

Although the monster was destroyed and he himself was greatly injured, Kenzan's face, as he got up from the ground, did not show much despair.

After all, at this moment, Marufuji Sho only had two rather restrained monsters on his field.

One is the [Extreme Fighter King War God Robot], which possesses extremely high attack power and a two-stage attack, but is unable to directly attack its opponent.

The other is a mobile fortress with a defense of 5000 points but an attack of only 0 points – the [Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base].

Faced with these two monsters, Jian Shan felt that he had no reason to panic.

I'm standing right here! Come and hit me if you dare! You can't hit me, hahaha~~~ Hehehe~~~~

"...Oh? Is that so? Is that really what you think? Do you really think I can't do anything about you?"

Marufuji Sho, who was feeling extremely proud of himself, pushed up his small glasses on the bridge of his nose and said these words in a smug tone.

It seems that Kenzan's reaction at this moment was entirely within his expectations.

"……What's the meaning?"

Slightly annoyed by Marufuji Sho's pretentious attitude, Kenzan frowned and uttered a questioning sound.

"I mean..."

Raising his arm and pointing to the [Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base] on his field, which was almost integrated with the environment, Marufuji Sho, who seemed to have divine assistance today, slowly said: "[Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base]... Before entering the battle phase, I secretly changed this monster's status from defense position to attack position."

Kenzan: "So? A monster with 0 attack power... what are you planning to do...?"

"Hehehe~~~~That's it, I've been waiting for you to ask that question!"

Finally, after guiding Kenzan to voice the question he wanted to ask, Marufuji Sho clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "The second effect of the Field Spell Card—[Giant Machine City]—is activated! Once per turn, during damage calculation when one of your 'Machine' monsters battles, you can send 1 'Machine' monster from your Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect. That battling monster only has its original ATK and DEF swapped during that damage calculation!"

After saying that, Marufuji Sho casually sent one of his "Machine" monsters to the graveyard.

Then, a smug smile immediately spread across his face: "Hahahaha... That's it! Sword Mountain!"

"What...?! You mean you're planning to..."

"What we need to do next, Kenzan? I think you've already figured it out, haven't you?"

"..."

"Due to the effect of the Field Spell Card, during this Battle Phase, the ATK and DEF of [Super Transport Robot - Mobile Base] will be swapped, meaning... its current ATK is not 0, but rather—"

"A whole...5000 points!!!"

(【Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base】 Attack Power: 0→5000)

With the boost from the Field Magic Card, the surface of the [Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base] was immediately covered with a golden wave. Under the influence of this wave, its attack power also soared to a terrifying value of 5000 points!

Now, it possesses the strength to defeat a giant machine with a single punch, and is even more powerful than the [Extreme Fighter King War God Machine] created by the fusion of six for one!

"Marufuji Sho...you bastard, you were hiding your strength! So you were concealing your power all along! If you have this kind of power, why did you keep pretending to be weak!"

Swallowing hard, feeling the oppressive power of the sword mountain, a hint of panic appeared on his face.

He has 1600 life points remaining, while Marufuji Sho has 1400 life points, which does not meet the activation conditions of the trap card [Jurassic Impact].

Clearly, Marufuji Sho had taken this into account, which is why he deliberately reduced Kenzan's health to a certain level.

It won't be too high or too low, just a little taller than him, making it easy to reduce to zero in one go.

480 Although it's their home field, they're out of players (6K).

"Hahahaha...!!! You're dumbfounded, Kenzan! While you were having fun, I was secretly and desperately practicing my dueling skills!"

"...Damn it! You're so despicable!!!"

Marufuji Sho's plan is to secretly become stronger, and then at the right time, amaze everyone with his growth and transformation!

After giving it his all, he finally saw the light of victory.

At this moment, unable to contain his overflowing emotions any longer, Marufuji Sho opened his mouth, put his hands on his hips, and burst into laughter.

The strongest spear and the strongest shield have now gathered on his field!

In this state, how can you possibly lose?

With the dragon charging in, it's a guaranteed win!

Is there even the slightest suspense left?

While the fact that Kenzan failed to summon the strongest monster—[Ultimate Transducer Terrormon]—was also a factor, luck and ease of use are also part of skill.

The fact that the dealer failed to give Kenzan the card he wanted meant, in a sense, that he wasn't as favored by fate as Kenzan was.

With this thought in mind, Marufuji Sho's eyes narrowed, and he raised his arm, pointing to the opposite side: "Kenzan, you think I'm hindering your bond with your older brother, right!"

“Ah! That’s right!” Nodding in deep agreement, Kenzan gave an affirmative answer.

Kenzan thought that if he were the only subordinate of Yuki Jaden, he could enjoy this favor all to himself (?) without having to share it with others!

"...But, to me, you're also the outsider who's hindering my progress with my older brother!"

"Hmph! I know that, which is why we're having this duel to determine who's better, isn't it?"

"...Ah! So I'll just say it now while I still can!"

Marufuji Sho's gaze clashed fiercely with Kenzan's in the air. Neither of them was willing to admit defeat, nor did they want to relinquish the honor of "strongest junior brother" to the other.

As he attacked Kenzan, the newcomer, Marufuji Sho also conveyed his true feelings to him: "Kenzan, you brat...you'll have to bear the punishment for trying to separate me from my older brother!"

"【Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base】...Direct attack on Kenzan! It's over, this means I've won!"

Upon making this announcement, Marufuji Sho, brimming with confidence, unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

We won, and that means...

I am the strongest underling of the Tenth Generation Boss!

Kenzan and all that damned third party, get out of my way!

"Ha... Solevadocana (That's not necessarily true)!"

Facing the enormous iron fist that cleaved through the gale, Kenzan, who had no monsters protecting him in the front line, paused for a moment, then smirked and uttered that rather classic reversal line.

"...What?!"

Subconsciously, Marufuji Sho responded to this.

At this moment, the balance of power shifted, and the familiar scene reappeared before everyone's eyes.

However, facing the offensive of the [Super Transportation Robot - Mobile Base], this time it's Kenzan's turn to fight back!

"...What the hell? In this situation, you clearly can't activate that trap card...What nonsense are you talking about?"

Confused by Kenzan's reaction, Marufuji Sho's smile froze on his face. After pausing for a moment, he couldn't help but ask this question.

Impossible! I couldn't have overlooked that!

I bet this kid is just bluffing!

That's right, victory is absolutely mine! There can't be any other outcome!
