No need to talk about that Red Nova clamoring beside him about not letting It destroy anything, it's certain to choose to increase Life Points.
Tenjo Hikari LP: 3400→9800.
"Heh, this way, my Monster's ATK will also be higher!"
"So, you've been wasting your efforts all along, Akaba Leo."
Tenjo Hikari chuckled softly, nearby, Tierra continued to ask, "Tenjo Hikari, don't need that?"
"It's not time yet—"
Tenjo Hikari casually said, "Then, enter the battle phase, during the battle, I activate the effect of the Geo Spirit! My own and opponent's battle phase. I can banish Monsters in Hand Cards, on field, or in the Graveyard to Polymerization Summon 1 [Earthbound] Fusion Monster! I fuse the two Monsters on the field!"
He rolled up his right hand, pulling up the sleeve of his left arm, a dog-shaped Dark Sign on his left forearm emitted a blood-like light.
"I've long wondered why you chose me as your Dark Signer but never responded to me!
Turns out you're here, you're all here!"
"Now, the duel has reached this point, all of you should be able to see! See that I am enough to change everything, so, let us resist together! Resist the oppression of the [Divine Nobility]!"
Uuuuu—
Behind Tenjo Hikari, the massive killer whale that had been lying dormant suddenly swam out from the air, emitting a loud siren sound.
Following Its call, the octopus and griffin also voiced their calls.
From afar, Crow, who had already resolved his issues, suddenly had a thought, glancing over his shoulder, only to notice the enormous bird-shaped Dark Sign shine brightly behind him once more.
A gigantic Earthbound God appeared behind Tenjo Hikari, alongside a few Earthbound Gods, sheltering them like a parent does its offspring, its vast body even challenging the Red Nova.
"What? You, how dare you, do you want to rebel!?" Red Nova waved its hands, trying to grab those entities, but with the appearance of Wiraqocha Rasca, more "animals" were surfacing around.
Hummingbird, monkey, spider…
Those Earthbound Gods freed themselves from their shackles, finally returning to this world, able to choose and act freely.
And finally—
Plop…
The crimson humanoid dog broke free, stretching its wings once more and flying!
"Fusion Conditions are Earthbound Synchro Monsters and Earthbound Fusion Monsters!
Polymerization Summons! LV 10, Earthbound Servant Geo Grasha!"
"Aowoooo~~~~"
It cheered, sighed.
MD, this place isn't fit for a God. This synchronized world is unendurable for even a second!
It now just wants to leave this sad place!
But...
The duel isn't over yet.
Earthbound Servant Geo Grasha, LV 10, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, Attack Power 3000.
With the appearance of this Monster, those Earthbound Gods also left here, only leaving behind Chakra Charuya still watching.
Tenjo Hikari LP: 9800→9200.
"This is bad." Red Nova explained to Akaba Leo, "During the battle phase involving Geo Grasha and Monsters. Opponent's Monster's ATK becomes 0 directly!"
Akaba Leo's face changed upon hearing.
That means, even with an ATK of 100,000, it can't defeat that winged dog?
"But… now you can't attack." Akaba Leo said.
"Indeed, that's true. However…" Tenjo Hikari crossed his arms, saying, "End turn."
What?
"At this moment, the effect of Dreamland is activated."
"When an Xyz Monster exists on the field, activate during your end phase. Destroy the highest level Monster on the field!"
"Ha, I thought what could it be, the Earthbound Gods are unaffected by Spell and Trap Card effects…" He kept speaking, suddenly saw Red Nova's already flushed face turning even redder.
"It can't be, could it?"
"My power, was used to create Dragons, to seize the Duel Dragons of the Red Dragon…" It mumbled, "If I still had the power grabbed from the Earthbound Gods, I could forcefully withstand destruction."
Of course, the result would be "even though this card doesn't say, it can attack directly."
Red Nova's figure slowly broke apart, followed by a voice that made Akaba Leo's face even darker: "Akaba Leo, my power is fading because of your duel, if you can't reclaim it, just wait!"
While speaking, he gulped down the last remaining spectators, leaving only Tenjo Hikari and Akaba Leo here.
Now it was silent.
Tenjo Hikari felt suddenly quieter.
"Damn it—"
"Don't rush. There's more effects to come." Tenjo Hikari raised a hand, saying "Geo Grasha's effect! When a card on the field is destroyed, destroy all opponent's cards on the field!"
The crimson dog demon howled once, then took a deep breath, unleashing a wild torrent.
The spider was instantly smashed, and the Continuous Trap Card disappeared without a trace before he could send it to the Graveyard himself.
In the crimson hell-like flames, Tenjo Hikari's eyes seemed like gemstones within the flames, staring through them, meeting Akaba Leo's gaze: "Including the power of Xyz you borrowed, would also become the reason for your demise!"
"Damn—"
Akaba Leo roared while drawing a card.
He was unwilling.
He couldn't believe it.
He couldn't accept it.
He had spent twenty years of effort to gain the power of Pendulum, yet the opponent gained it through a duel; couldn't accept that the support he had painstakingly gathered—of all various Evil Gods, Demon Gods, Local Gods—was torn down layer by layer by Tenjo Hikari like peeling cabbage.
