Chapter 544: How Could Fusion Be Such an Inconvenient Thing?
Under the effect of **Ojama Delta Hurricane!!**, the monsters that had Summoned themselves to the Front Row, such as **Warrior Lady of the Wasteland** and **G-Squad - Shining Black**, were Destroyed. Their messy pile of Equip Spell Cards in the Spell/Trap Zone was also Destroyed, and even the Field Spell Card **The Sanctuary in the Sky** was Destroyed.
The surrounding environment returned to the Jungle where they were originally. Hayato remained standing in his original position, just as he was when he left, but the four people on the opposite side had all fallen to the ground, still reeling from the Impact of **Ojama Delta Hurricane!!**.
"Heh heh, now you know how amazing we are!"
"Even without Fusion, our Power and Precision surpass yours!"
"Close combat is our advantage!"
Because they used **Ojama Delta Hurricane!!** to hit the guys who had looked down on them hard, **Ojama Yellow** and the others seemed quite Proud at this moment, even started boasting excessively.
Given this, to prevent himself from being jinxed to death by these few idiots, Hayato felt it would be better to squeeze out their Usefulness now.
After **Shining Black** and the others were blasted back to where Duelists should stand, **Zera**'s Will became depressed because **The Sanctuary in the Sky** was Destroyed. **Chameleon - Magileon** was trying to save **Warrior Lady of the Wasteland** who had fainted after seeing **Shining Black**'s True Form again. Only **Shining Black** stood up stubbornly, relying on his own Will and Undying Life Force.
"I really didn't expect that the **Ojama**, which looks like it's not even as good as small fry, could display such powerful strength. It's truly fear-inducing."
"But even if you Destroyed all the Defense we Arranged, the **Ojama** Monsters on your Field are just useless things with 0 ATK."
"Furthermore, because **Ojama Delta Hurricane!!** has already Destroyed all our Cards on this side, they now have no Usefulness whatsoever."
**G-Squad - Shining Black** said with certainty, "There is no possibility of them becoming a threat to us, so what can you do next?"
"Are you going to launch a pointless Attack against us with these Monsters whose Attacks aren't even worth a touch, or will you just end your Turn and leave these few targets?"
But under **Shining Black**'s gaze, Hayato smiled at him. "In that case, there's only one answer."
"I must immediately Fusion Summon!"
Hearing Hayato's words, **Ojama Yellow** and the others seemed quite excited. "Oh oh oh, it's not a card like **Raigeki Break** or something, but **Polymerization**?"
"So touching! Aniki clearly wants us to End the Duel!"
"We've already won completely!"
**Shining Black**, however, frowned. "**Polymerization**? Even if you Fusion Summon with these monsters, you can only Summon monsters with 0 ATK, which are also like small fry."
"Ah, we were seen through." "Completely unable to refute." "The King indeed also has 0 ATK."
But under **Shining Black**'s gaze, Hayato didn't play the **Polymerization** Card at all. Instead, he waved his hand directly and said, "Do you mean you must Activate the **Polymerization** Spell Card to perform a Fusion? How could Fusion be such an inconvenient thing?"
"Ultimate demonic dragon that freezes the past, present, and future, submit to my will and descend here! Pierce through destiny with your trident!"
Hayato raised his empty palm above his head. Along with his movements, a large amount of frost gathered out of thin air towards his palm, forming a large piece of pure ice, while **Ojama Yellow** and the others on his Field trembled uncontrollably due to the sudden drop in temperature.
"Ba-Banish us?" "Why does the summoning chant not sound like Summoning the King?" "And Aniki didn't Activate Polymerization?"
Subconsciously, the **Ojama** Three Brothers exchanged glances.
"Ma-Masaka?"
"We've been abandoned again?!"
"Iyada!"
"For Victory, I am willing to give up my old friends **Ojama Yellow**, **Ojama Green**, and **Ojama Black**! I Banish three Monsters with different Card Names from my Field!"
"Triple Contact Fusion Summon! **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier**!!!"
The frost on Hayato's palm exploded, revealing a purple-bordered card held between Hayato's fingers, which he slapped onto his Duel Disk. At the same time, the **Ojama** brothers on Hayato's Field became transparent while wailing—
"What a horrible feeling~~" X3
"Roar!" X3
Thick dragon claws stepped onto the spot where **Ojama Yellow** and the others disappeared. The three-headed demonic dragon, covered in a frost armor, looked down at **Shining Black** and the others, letting out a Roar. Its aura was simply like a demon god about to destroy the World!
**Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier** [Level 9☆/Water (Attribute)]
[Dragon Type/Fusion/Effect]
[2700/2000]
"A Level 9☆, Powerful Monster with 2700 ATK!?" **Shining Black** was very shocked. Even **Warrior Lady of the Wasteland** and **Zera** recovered consciousness, looking up at the three-headed dragon as tall as a demon god. "And, it's even using those three **Ojama** Monsters, which have absolutely no connection in appearance, as Fusion Material?"
"**Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier** isn't an ordinary Fusion Monster. Its requirement for Fusion Material is simply three Monsters with different Card Names."
"However, as a Restriction, it can only use Monsters from my Hand and Field as Fusion Material."
"But, I can also perform a Fusion Summon without using the **Polymerization** Spell Card, by Banishing the Fusion Material Monsters on my Field."
Hayato said proudly, putting his hands on his hips, subconsciously wanting to laugh a few "hehehe"s, but then realized belatedly that if he did that, wouldn't he completely become an Antagonist? He was a good guy, after all.
"Although because I used **Ojama** Monsters instead of Dragon-Type Monsters, which are most compatible with its Power, **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier** couldn't use its strongest Power," Hayato said, drew two cards, "However, this level is completely sufficient for now. I Activate the Equip Spell Card, **Megamorph**, and Equip it to **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier**."
"**Megamorph**?!"
Under **Shining Black**'s terrified gaze, **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier**, which was already taller than the tallest trees in the forest, after being Equipped with **Megamorph**, truly exhibited the phenomenon of "Megamorph". Its original height of nearly 20 meters directly Doubled to a full 40 meters, simply like a regular-sized MS upgrading to a Mobile Armor!
**Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier** (Megamorph) [ATK 2700→5400]
"When my Life Points are higher than my Opponent's Life Points, the ATK of the Monster Equipped with **Megamorph** will Decrease to half its Original Attack."
"But when my Life Points are lower than my Opponent's Life Points, the ATK of the Monster Equipped with **Megamorph** will Increase to Double its Original Attack."
"Your Life Points? It was the **Magical Dressing Room** from just now!"
**Shining Black**'s expression was quite surprised. "You mean you were calculating from the very first card you played?"
"Whether it was **Harpie's Feather Duster** to probe our Set Cards, **Ojama Delta Hurricane!!** to Destroy all the cards blocking the way, and finally even the Effect of **Magical Dressing Room** to Pay Life Points was Utilized. Was this also part of your calculations?!"
"Hehehe, isn't that obvious?" Hayato ordered, "Enter my Battle Phase! Then, **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier** will perform a Direct Attack with no obstacles or interference!"
"Ice Sculpting - Secret Technique: One Stance Wild Dance!!"
Casually giving **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier** an attack name that sounds like an exhibitionist's technique, as Hayato's hand rose, the freezing aura around **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier** was Controlled, transforming into countless Weapons of various styles, falling like a torrential rain from the sky, covering all four people: **G-Squad - Shining Black**, **Chameleon - Magileon**, **Warrior Lady of the Wasteland**, and **Zera the Mant**.
"Uwaah!!!" X4
[Four Person Group: 4000→0 LP]
He achieved a One-Turn Kill (OTK) almost effortlessly. Hayato watched as **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier**'s Figure gradually disappeared. And at the location covered by **Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier**'s Finishing Blow, **Shining Black** looked at the countless ice blades that had pierced through parts of their clothes and armor, pinning them to the ground, incredibly close but not harming them in the slightest, his heart pounding with fear.
In that instant just now, he thought he was truly going to die. After All, even if his true form was a "Cockroach" with strong Life Force, he wasn't completely unkillable. If he were defeated in a Ceremony of the Duel like the one just now, where all Monsters were Materializationd, he would truly die.
If Hayato wanted to, killing the four of them would be very easy. And the current situation clearly showed that Hayato held back at the last moment and let them off. After All, Hayato just wanted to go to the Building in the distance. Although he had the determination to Defeat everyone who blocked his path, he wouldn't kill every single person he met. He wasn't like the protagonist of those "killing god" novels from over a decade ago.
Hayato didn't care what the others thought. Anyway, Hayato believed that if his Life were a Manga, it would definitely be a Hot-blooded Youth Shonen Manga. After All, his Duels were so bright and could bring smiles to people, full of positive energy.
Bypassing the area filled with ice blades and ice spears, Hayato had no idea of finishing them off and was about to leave here and continue towards the Building not far away. And just then, he heard **Shining Black**'s voice:
"You, who exactly are you?"
"Me? Just a Passing Duelist. You don't need to remember." Hayato's footsteps didn't stop at all, casually answering **Shining Black**'s Question before walking away.
Struggling to move his head to avoid the sharp ice blades, **Shining Black** looked at Hayato's receding figure and gave a bitter smile. "Saying it's so ordinary, but who would believe that?"
From **Shining Black**'s perspective, although Hayato did indeed Look Like just an ordinary person when viewed alone, behind him stood all sorts of Card Spirits of Duel Monsters. No matter how you looked at it, he wasn't a simple character.
And Hayato didn't pay attention to **Shining Black** and their thoughts. Before long, he had arrived before the "large mound" that bulged from the ground, covered in vines, moss, and weeds.
"Al, are you sure this is the place we're looking for?" Hayato, who had walked around the entire mound without finding any suspected entrance, took out the **Aleister the Invoker** Card and inquired, "Forget about doors or holes or anything, there isn't even a window, is there?"
"Are you sure you can get in here? Also, what exactly is inside?"
From the Card, **Aleister**'s helpless voice came, "Even if you ask me that, I'm not some omnipotent wish-granting machine that can answer all the questions in the World. I can only confirm that the wave I sensed at the very beginning came from here. I cannot answer what kind of existence is inside, Master."
"After All, I'm not a native of this World either. I just arrived a few years earlier than Master."
"The same goes for the ones you just now defeated. I sensed the same aura on them that doesn't belong to this World."
"Also, regarding the existence inside, I only know that It might be the god of this World."
"God?" Hayato was a bit strange. "The god of the Spirit World?"
"If the definition of 'god' in the World Master was in before doesn't deviate too much from my definition, both referring to an existence with irresistible powerful strength, then I think, yes."
"Alright then, so how do we get inside now and wake up that 'god'?"
Hayato expected **Aleister** to give a useful answer, for example, he could use a Magical Formula to open a door, or just dismantle it with violence or something. But what Hayato didn't expect was that the Phantom of **Aleister the Invoker** floating beside Hayato actually spread his hands.
"My suggestion is, just lie flat where we are, wait for that 'god' to wake up, and then let It come find us on Its own."
"Hmm?"
Seeing Hayato's surprised expression, **Aleister** explained unhurriedly: "I don't know what kind of situation the 'god' of this World is in."
"Perhaps It was directly sealed away after creation, like a rabbit killed after the hunt, perhaps It has been in a state of not yet being born from the beginning, or perhaps It fought with some existence and is therefore sleeping."
"Anyway, under any circumstances, we cannot surpass the Power of the 'god'."
"Since that's the case, why not just lie flat?"
"Anyway, whether we make effort or not, we cannot actively go inside here."
"We might as well relax and enjoy ourselves a bit first."
"However, if Master is lucky, maybe you'll just have to wait a dozen years or so for that 'god' to wake up and then---"
**Aleister** hadn't finished his sentence when the dragon roar that had sounded once before came from within the "large mound" again. Hayato, who had just now been standing in front of Al with a foul expression because of Al's "lie flat" suggestion, instantly disappeared in a flash of white light.
Leaving behind only **Aleister the Invoker**, who had been released outside by Hayato, and **Rainbow Kuriboh**, who was originally perched on Hayato's head but fell onto the grass, rubbing its painful backside because Hayato disappeared, staring wide-eyed.
"Ku, Kuriboh?"
"---At a time like this, shouldn't I say 'I haven't gotten on the bus yet'?"
Under the effect of **Ojama Delta Hurricane!!**, the monsters that had Summoned themselves to the Front Row, such as **Warrior Lady of the Wasteland** and **G-Squad - Shining Black**, were Destroyed. Their messy pile of Equip Spell Cards in the Spell/Trap Zone was also Destroyed, and even the Field Spell Card **The Sanctuary in the Sky** was Destroyed.

Hayato raised his empty palm above his head. Along with his movements, a large amount of frost gathered out of thin air towards his palm, forming a large piece of pure ice, while **Ojama Yellow** and the others on his Field trembled uncontrollably due to the sudden drop in temperature.
"Ba-Banish us?" "Why does the summoning chant not sound like Summoning the King?" "And Aniki didn't Activate Polymerization?"
Subconsciously, the **Ojama** Three Brothers exchanged glances.
"Ma-Masaka?"
