"And then, I activate the effect of Vision Hero Faris in my hand! Discard a [Hero] card other than this card in my hand to activate. Special Summon this card from the hand!
I discard, Evil Hero Malicious Edge, to Special Summon Faris."
"Vision Hero!"
"It's that Vision Hero series—"
"Today is truly the grand stage for heroes, huh?"
The audience suddenly started discussing enthusiastically.
As one of the most accessible card series in the world, Heroes are very famous and common globally, but that only refers to those ordinary Hero Cards.
Heroes like the fusion type, and even Villainous, Vision, Masked, as well as Judai's "Neo-Space," are cards rarely seen in this world.
A camera suddenly focused on the field of Tenjo Hikari, where in the labyrinth, a pink hero phantom flickered and appeared.
"Faris' effect activates when this card is successfully Summoned or Special Summoned. Set 1 [Vision Hero] from the deck as a Continuous Trap Card in your Spell and Trap Zone. After this effect activates, until the end of the turn, non-[Hero] monsters cannot be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck."
"Set as a Continuous Trap—"
"Ha, is it similar to the effect of Labyrinth Wall Shadow?" The Maze Brothers laughed upon hearing Tenjo Hikari's explanation.
A camera adjusted its position again, projecting a blue image on Tenjo Hikari's field.
"I set Increase as a Continuous Trap Card on my field, and then during the Main Phase of either player, I can Tribute a Hero Monster on the field to Special Summon it as a Continuous Trap Card."
Tenjo Hikari waved his hand, the pink image disappeared, and a blue hero appeared on the field.
Vision Hero Increase!
"Increase's effect triggers when this card is Special Summoned from the Spell and Trap Zone. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower [Vision Hero] from the deck.
Special Summon, Vision Hero Vyon!"
A dark purple mechanical hero appeared next to the blue hero, as if it had always been there.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh! So cool, is this the Vision Hero!?"
Judai cheered excitedly.
Even though his voice didn't reach Tenjo Hikari, Tenjo could already imagine Judai's eyes sparkling.
He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Vyon's effect activates when this card is Summoned or Special Summoned. Send 1 [Hero] from the deck to the Graveyard. I send Elemental Hero Shadow Mist from the deck to the Graveyard!"
Tenjo Hikari could almost hear Judai shouting "You have Shadow Mist too," but these cards weren't crafted by his alchemy, they were entirely given to him by the Vision Heroes, just that he never had the chance to use them before.
"I remember, Shadow Mist's effect is..."
"That's right, when this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 Hero other than Shadow Mist to the hand from the deck. I add Evil Hero Adusted Gold from the deck to my hand."
"Then, I discard Adusted Gold to add Dark Calling from the deck to my hand." Tenjo Hikari added the darkened Captain Gold to his hand, then sent it to the Graveyard, and took Dark Calling from the deck.
"At this time, I activate Vyon's effect again, once per turn, banish 1 [Hero] from the Graveyard to add 1 [Polymerization] from the deck to my hand."
"I banish my Shadow Mist to add Fusion Substitute from my deck to my hand."
Although Fusion Substitute is called "Fusion Substitute," it is considered "Polymerization" in game rules, so it can be searched by Vyon's effect.
"The effect to search for Polymerization—it's indeed a monster that Tenjo Hikari would use, huh?"
"It seems that the kind of dueling they talked about, fusing spirits together, is not just empty talk."
The onlookers, as well as the cooperating companies of the Manjome Group, couldn't help nodding when they saw Tenjo Hikari getting his fusion card.
"Alright, preparations are almost complete—activate the Spell Card, Fusion Substitute." Tenjo Hikari picked up the two Vision Heroes on the field, "This card allows the monsters on the field to be used as Fusion Material for a fusion!"
"Heroes hidden in the light and phantom, now appear on the stage, paving the way for us!"
Countless lights focused in front of Tenjo Hikari, and under the lights, a warrior with arms crossed and cloak fluttering in the wind, made a dazzling entrance!
Vision Hero Adoration, Level 8, Dark Attribute, Warrior-Type, Attack Power 2800.
"Is it Vision Hero fusion? I've seen it before in the GX Tournament!"
"Oh, you're referring to the one who dueled with Tenjo Hikari, right? Vision Heroes are indeed novel."
Another new hero.
Ruri, seeing this, was very curious and wanted to see what kind of effects this Vision Hero had.
Because—
A little embarrassed, her particularly important friend also uses a deck called "Phantom."
Though one is "Vision" and the other is "Phantom."
"Adoration's effect, once per turn, targets 1 other Hero Monster on my field and 1 monster on your field. The ATK and DEF of that opponent's monster decrease by the ATK of my targeted monster!"
Tenjo Hikari pointed at the Sludge Monster beside him, then pointed at the Gate Guardian.
The lights focused on the two monsters, and on the Gate Guardian, a massive, acidic light projection lit up.
"Oh, by directly using this effect, it can instantly reduce Gate Guardian's ATK by 2600 points, ensuring nothing goes wrong!"
