Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

That's why he summoned "Shadow Mage" and retrieved this persistent trap that seemed to be related to "Magic Hat" in every way. Sure enough, it came in handy.

"However, the 'Shadow Hat' effect can only be used once."

Eliza remained calm in the face of Youxi's move.

While she couldn't fully foresee Yuki's future, she did have a wealth of dueling experience.

Since Yuki knows about the existence of the "Hero of Destiny," he can take a few more steps forward based on that and grasp the direction of the duel without needing future vision.

"Spell Card activated: 'Warrior Survival'!"

Eliza placed one of her three untouched cards into the Spell & Trap slot of the Duel Disk, saying, "Based on this card's effect, add 1 Warrior-Type monster from my Graveyard to my hand. Recycle 'Elemental HERO Liquidman'."

"Then Summon 'Liquid Man' in Attack Position. If this card is successfully Summoned, Revive 1 Level 4 or lower 'HERO' monster from your Graveyard."

Warriors clad in azure armor, seemingly imbued with flowing water, materialized, and the waters of life surged into the earth, awakening their kin.

"The effect of 'Disc Man' is to draw 2 cards from your deck."

No matter how many times you look at it, it's still incredibly absurd. The "Disc Man," whose absurdity is only slightly less than the "Survival Card," delivers two new cards to Elizabeth's hand. Her counterattack has finally arrived.

"Activate the Spell Card: 'Forced Transfer'. Each player selects one monster from their field to exchange control."

"Are you planning to send low-attack monsters to my side to create a breakthrough? That makes no sense. I choose 'Shadow Mage Top Hat Rabbit'." Yu Xi said without hesitation.

No matter what kind of monster Eliza sends, it will only become nourishment for the "Giant Warrior," making no difference.

But Elizabeth's choice was slightly unexpected by Youxi.

"I choose 'Destiny Hero Destroys the Phoenix'."

"……what?"

Upon hearing this, You Xi's eyes widened instantly: "Wait, you're actually handing over your trump card to me?"

Looking at the most beautiful freshman who had switched positions with "Shadow Mage" and come to his own field, Yu Xi's expression was one of surprise and disbelief.

Generally speaking, "forced transfer" is used to send weak monsters to the opponent's field, right? Why...?

"Miss Elizabeth, what are you planning?"

Youxi didn't think Elizabeth had suddenly gone mad; there must be some special meaning behind this action.

—This meaning does indeed exist.

"What I need to do is actually very simple; it's just to meet the conditions for a certain card to exert its power."

The ancient jewelry on her chest shimmered slightly as Eliza slowly said, "Your Highness Yuxi, after fighting for so long, I have been using the power of destiny that I possess. But now, I will show you the power I obtained from this temple—I am not simply breaking the seal on this temple, but at the same time, the dragon sleeping within it will also be freed."

"Could it be that from this temple—"

"Spell Card activated: 'Displacement Fusion'!"

Before Youxi could say anything, Elizabeth had already played her trump card.

"Fuse the Dark-attribute 'Destiny Hero: Fear Man' and 'Destiny Hero: Disc Man' on the field, let the dual powers of destiny intertwine and unite, revealing their hungry fangs from the deepest abyss. Fusion Summon—"

"The Ferocious, Hungry, and Poisonous Fusion Dragon!"

"Fierce, Hungry, Poisonous Fusion Dragon, Level 8/Dark/Dragon/Fusion" "ATK: 2800/DEF: 2000"

"2 DARK monsters on the field that are Tokens or higher"

The sudden burst of fusion power engulfed the two D·HEROs, and the most ferocious poison dragon roared down, swinging its hook-shaped tail.

—This is one of the cornerstones of the Tower of the Four Heavens, a demonic dragon symbolizing the power of fusion.

Just by looking at his appearance, he exudes a strong villainous aura.

You Xi sensed an extremely ominous feeling emanating from him.

It was a bottomless sense of darkness, unlike the simple power and grandeur of the Phantom God.

"The Ferocious, Hungry, and Poisonous Fusion Dragon...!"

"Just so you know, Your Highness Yuki, this monster is incredibly powerful. The effect of 'Fierce Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon' has activated."

Eliza's voice came from the other side.

"If a Fusion Summon is successful, select 1 monster your opponent controls; add that monster's ATK to 'Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon' until the end of this turn."

A purplish-black mist surged out and spread towards Youxi.

The life force and power of the "Destroyer Phoenix" were taken away, which instantly boosted the combat power of the "Fierce, Hungry, Poisonous Fusion Dragon".

"Ferocious, Hungry, and Poisonous Fusion Dragon, ATK: 2800→5300"

"Next, activate the other effect of 'Fierce Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon'. Once per turn, target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; until the end of this turn, it gains the same original card name and effect as that monster. Here, we'll choose 'Destiny HERO Phoenix Destroyer' again, of course."

"I see. No wonder they chose to transfer control of the 'Destroy the Phoenix' to me."

If You Xi still can't understand Elizabeth's actions after getting here, then he's wasted his eyes.

"Giant Warrior" has target-targeting resistance and is a Normal Summon, making "Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon" ineffective against it. The same applies to Yuki's other monsters.

But things changed after turning the "Destroyer of Phoenixes" into a traitor within Yuxi's territory.

"That's right. It's a pity I don't have a system that works with this deck, so this is all the power I can use. But it's enough."

"However, the effect of 'Destroy the Phoenix' is limited to once per turn, so you can't use it to clear my field."

"We'll use this card to complete this task. Activate the Quick-Play Spell: Whirlwind, and destroy 'Shadow Hat'."

A tornado swept through, blowing away and shattering the hat-wielding man, which was also a trap card. Eliza then added a new card to the Duel Disk: "Next, activate the Spell Card: 'Dr. D'. Banish 1 'Destiny HERO' from your Graveyard, then add 1 'Destiny HERO' from your Graveyard to your hand or Special Summon it. Revive 'Destiny HERO Fearman'!"

"Destiny Heroes Fear People, ATK: ?"

Chains extended from the ground, and a berserker wearing an iron mask roared and sprang from the earth. This time, without the interference of Youxi's traps, it could finally unleash its full power.

"The effect of 'Fear Man' has no limit of once per turn. Destroy 'Liquid Man' and Special Summon 'Destiny HERO Ruler' and 'Destiny HERO Disc Man'."

"Destiny Heroes Rule Man, ATK: 2900"

"Destiny Hero Disc Man, ATK: 300"

The majestic black-armored emperor and the disc warriors appeared behind and in front of Eliza, and with their appearance, the aura of the "Fear Man" surged once again.

"The effect of 'Disc Man' draws 2. The attack power of 'Destiny HERO Fear Man' is determined by the combined attack power of the other 'Destiny HERO' cards on your field. Since 'Hungry Poison Fusion Dragon' is now also considered 'Destiny HERO Destroyer Phoenix Man', its attack power is increased to 8500."

"Activate the effect of 'Dr. D' in the Graveyard again, banish this card from the Graveyard, make 'Disc Man's' ATK the same as 'Fear Man', and increase 'Fear Man's' ATK by 8200."

"Destiny Hero Fear Man, ATK: ? → 16700"

"Attack power of 16,000... It feels like I've been encountering these kinds of formidable enemies lately."

Looking at the "Fear Man" that had suddenly become extremely terrifying, Yuuki couldn't help but think of Alicia, whom he had just fought not long ago. At that time, Alicia had also easily summoned the "Ancient Holy Winged Dragon" with an attack power of over 14,000.

I remember that Alicia went to the Pendulum Gate, which means that Vera will put her in charge of suppressing the Pendulum area.

The enemy inside that door is probably Amagi Naruto; I wonder if Alicia can defeat him.

To be honest, You Xi felt the hope was very slim.

However, now is not the time to worry about this.

"Entering the combat stage."

With four powerful generals at her disposal, Elizabeth charged into battle, launching an attack against Yuki, who was missing one of her sacrifices.

"The Fearful Hero of Destiny attacks the Titan of Obelisk with a [Mount Tai Crushing Palm]!"

As soon as the voice fell, the "fearful man" jumped high into the air.

The earth trembled with its leap, and the atmosphere was blasted apart by its iron fist as it slammed into the "Obelisk the Titan".

This scene reminded me of a certain god-slaying game that Youxi used to play, but he wasn't going to let the "Giant Warrior" be defeated.

"Perfect timing! I activate my Trap Card at this very moment: 'Spell Cylinder'!"

Yuki pressed the button on the Duel Disk, and two magical cannons immediately appeared, one of which swallowed the "Fear Man's" fist.

The other one was aimed at Elizabeth.

"Nullify the attack of 'Fear Man' and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK."

The trap that couldn't be used in the last round due to the "White Robe" seal proved surprisingly effective here.

The immense kinetic energy absorbed from her fist was channeled into a cannonball, slamming into Elizabeth—

The "Magic Cylinder" fired at close range, filling the air with smoke. Yu Xi stared intently at the scene, and after a moment, she finally sighed regretfully: "So it still doesn't work after all."

As the smoke cleared, Eliza's perfectly intact figure was revealed; not only was her body intact, but her base score was also unaffected.

【Eliza LP: 2000】

"It's really dangerous."

Eliza said, "Using 'Magic Cylinder' to counterattack when the opponent launches an attack with a high-attack monster, and because it deals effect damage, even 'Fear Man' can't defend against it. I must say, Your Highness Yuki, your move was indeed ruthless and deadly. However, fortunately, I also prepared a backup plan."

"When 'Magic Cylinder' was activated, I also activated the effect of 'Destiny HERO Resolver' in the graveyard."

Eliza is holding a card in her hand, the image of which is a hero wearing a mask with fish-like features.

"Only once during a duel, when the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster that caused you damage is activated, this card returns to your hand, and that effect reduces the damage you took to 0."

This card should have been discarded to the graveyard by "Fate Draw". Because it was a bit far away and Eliza deliberately covered it up, Yuki couldn't see the card clearly before.

Of course, such things are irrelevant now.

"The duel continues. I have more than just 'Fear Man' on my field that can attack, Your Highness Yuki."

Eliza said, "Use the 'Hero of Destiny Disc Man' to attack the 'Obelisk the Colossus'."

Upon receiving the order, the "Disc Man" immediately flung his hand, and several discs flew out, tearing through the air and slicing towards the Azure Giant.

"Giant Warrior" tried to resist, but "Disc Man," whose power had been synchronized with "Dr. D's" "Fear Man" power was as high as 8500, was far from being its match. Its rock-hard skin was sliced ​​open, and it fell to the ground under the rules of the duel.

— "Obelisk the Colossus" destroyed.

Before the "Giant Warrior" was destroyed, Yuki timely revealed her face-down card: "Activate Trap Card: 'Hyperboost Super Z'! Recover 4000 HP after taking 2000 combat damage."

[Yu Xi LP: 2000→6000→1500]

"Even if we block this attack, it won't make a difference."
