## Chapter 586: Red Maggot? Just Fodder
In the more than twenty years since the birth of *Yu-Gi-Oh!*, countless cards have been created.
Some of these cards are so weak they are almost meaningless, while others are incredibly powerful. However, the abilities of most cards are directly proportional to their Summoning difficulty.
That is, until the 20th anniversary of *Yu-Gi-Oh!*, when the despicable Card Printer, Kaiku Corporation, released a commemorative Card Pack containing a card full of Nostalgia. It was a Fusion form of the Ace Monster of the original *Yu-Gi-Oh!* Protagonist, Mutou Yuugi's 【Dark Magician】, and the third main character, Katsuya Jounouchi's Ace Card, 【Red-Eyes Black Dragon】.
There had been Nostalgia Cards like this before, but most were just for References or recreating scenes from the original work. However, this Fusion Monster was different. It had extremely excellent Stats, powerful Effects, and its Summoning difficulty was outrageously low.
It was so easy to Summon that even Players who didn't use 【Dark Magician】 Decks or 【Red-Eyes Black Dragon】 Decks would specifically include two Normal Monsters in their Deck that were prone to causing a Bricked Hand, just so they could include this Fusion Monster in their Extra Deck.
With the standard ATK/DEF Stats of a second main character's Tamashii, Resistance to Effect Destruction, the ability to destroy monsters on the Opponent's Field without Targeting and inflict LP Reduction Ability equal to their Original ATK, a Quick Effect Omni Negate, and an ATK Boosting Effect, it dominated for nearly three years before finally being listed as a Forbidden Card.
Its name is—
"Fusion Summon! 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】!"
The Flying Dragon 【Red-Eyes】, spitting out inextinguishable black Flames, transformed into Armor, adorning the body of 【Dark Magician】. In one hand was a crimson Magic Orb, an advanced form born from the fusion of their combined Power. In the other hand was a long-handled sword transformed from the Claws of 【Red-Eyes Black Dragon】. A Dragon Tail adorned with Mystical Power gems coiled around its body. The Fusion Monster, on which Joey Wheeler and Yugi placed their last Hope, spread its Dragon Wings and slowly descended onto the Field from above.
【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】【Level 8/DARK】
【Spellcaster Type/Fusion/Effect】
【3000/2500】
Fusion: 【Dark Magician】 + 【Red-Eyes Black Dragon】 or 1 Dragon Type Effect Monster
①: This card cannot be targeted by card effects, nor can it be destroyed by card effects.
②: You can Activate this Effect during your Main Phase. Destroy one monster on your Opponent's Field, and inflict damage to your Opponent equal to its Original ATK. This Effect can be used up to the number of Normal Monsters used as Fusion Material for this card per Turn.
③: Once per Turn, when a Spell/Trap or Monster Effect is Activated, you can Discard 1 card from your Hand; Negate the Activation, and if you do, Destroy it, and this card gains 1000 ATK.
Summoned by the combined efforts of the two, this is the monster once hailed as "Red Dad," and later, due to its overly Annoying nature, renamed "Red Maggot."
For the pure 【Infernoid】 Deck used by Hayato, solving Red Dad is truly not a simple matter. Its 3000 ATK means only 【Infernoid Onuncu】 and 【Infernoid Tierra】 can clash with it. But once it uses its third Effect to Increase ATK, no 【Infernoid】 monster will have the Power to continue resisting.
Although 【Infernoid】 monsters also have the Ability to Destroy monsters or Return them to Hand, Red Dad is immune to Targeting Effects, and even non-Targeting Destruction doesn't Take Effect on it. It's truly Annoying.
Even more outrageous is that because Yugi and Joey Wheeler used two Normal Monsters as Fusion Material to Summon it, Red Dad can now actively Destroy two monsters during the Main Phase and then reduce Hayato's LP.
"Is this the monster fused from the Bond connecting me and Joey Wheeler?" Yugi said with a shocked Expression, looking at the 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 that had descended onto the Field. "If that's the case, we can win!"
"What a great Effect. I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect to actually create such a Powerful Monster."
Joey Wheeler, who was actually very unsure when he Activated 【Red-Eyes Fusion】 but now confirmed his gamble paid off, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Habitually touching his nose out of Pride, he said, "I'll return those words to you, Hayato."
"Grit your teeth and get ready! Take this Damage and snap out of it!"
Yugi and Joey Wheeler said in unison, "During our Main Phase, we Activate the second Effect of 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】!"
"We will directly Destroy your 【Infernoid Onuncu】 on the Field and inflict damage to you equal to 【Infernoid Onuncu】's Original ATK!"
【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 raised its Left Hand, lifting the Magic Orb above its head. The orb began to expand as it poured Power into it. In just one Breath, the Magic Orb, which had looked small before, was now larger than a person. Then, like a Meteor, it smashed towards 【Infernoid Onuncu】!
【Infernoid Onuncu】 reluctantly spat out green Flames as if to detonate the falling orb prematurely, but its Attack was completely unable to interfere with this extremely dense "Shooting Quasar Dragon." The Flames were pushed aside, and 【Infernoid Onuncu】's Body instantly vanished the moment it was hit, leaving behind only the Mystical Power that exploded like a bomb.
"Ugh!"
【Hayato: 8600 → 5600 LP】
The Shockwave from 【Infernoid Onuncu】's destruction caused Hayato to take a step back. His Life Points plummeted by a full 3000 Points, and at the same time, the last monster on his Field was cleared.
Clutching the last Card in his Hand, Joey Wheeler confidently waved his hand and said, "Now, Enter Battle Phase! 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】's Direct Attack!"
"Shiranui Style: Crimson Phoenix Sword!"
Red Mystical Power guided the Black Dragon's magical Flames to coil around the sword, transforming it into the shape of a Long Sword. Spreading its Dragon Wings and raising its Weapon, 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 flew up into the air, looking down at Hayato on the Ground like a Deity from above. Its Power accumulated to the Ultimate, and it threw the Weapon in its hand.
It didn't matter what the Set Card in Hayato's Spell/Trap Zone was. 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】's third Effect could Negate any Spell/Trap/Monster Effect. Whether it was 【Sakuretsu Armor】 or 【Attack Reflector Unit】 or anything else, they would be Negated. 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 could even become more powerful!
And Hayato indeed did not flip his Set Card, allowing 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 to pierce his Body.
"Bu-gah!" This time, Hayato couldn't stand firm at all. He was sent flying several meters away, stopping his backward momentum only a few meters from the cliff previously created by 【Infernoid Tierra】. His Life Points plummeted sharply again.
【Hayato: 5600 → 2600 LP】
This Life Point total was quite dangerous. Although it was 600 Points higher than Yugi and Joey Wheeler's 2000 Points, it was nothing against the super Powerful Monster 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】. If Hayato couldn't solve it next Turn, whether he had 600 more Points or 1000 more Points, it would just be a single strike.
Especially when Joey Wheeler finished his Attack and announced his intention to End Turn, he suddenly said proudly, "If I remember correctly, Hayato, at this time, that Field Spell Card on your Field will be Forced Activation, right?"
"Although 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 has strong Resistance, it uniquely lacks the extremely rare Tribute Resistance like 【Quintet Magician】. Therefore, if you leave that Field Spell Card on the Field, it will likely be Tributed by the 【Infernoid】 monsters that Revive from your Graveyard next Turn."
"In that case, I will Chain to the Forced Activation of 【Void Imagination】 and Activate the third Effect of 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】!"
Saying this, Joey Wheeler sent the Card in his Hand to the Graveyard, allowing Hayato to see that the Card in Joey Wheeler's Hand was actually the 【AD Changer】 that had been shuffled back into the Deck earlier.
Because of the restriction of 【Red-Eyes Fusion】, Joey Wheeler couldn't Summon monsters this Turn. At most, he could Set Defense Position Summon 【AD Changer】 like in the First Turn, but that would be completely unnecessary.
Having only one 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 on the Field right now was just right. If there was one more monster, wouldn't it just provide more Tributes for the appearance of 【Lava Golem】? Moreover, they had only seen a few of the 【Infernoid】 monsters so far. What if there happened to be one 【Infernoid】 with a piercing Effect that attacked 【AD Changer】? Wouldn't that be Bad?
Furthermore, 【Void Imagination】 indeed needed to be Destroyed. Its Ability to use the Opponent's DARK Attribute Monster as a Substitute Tribute was too powerful. Such an Effect was not Targeting and even 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 couldn't resist it, unless it was a monster unaffected by Spell Card Effects or a monster that cannot be Tributed.
Because Hayato had used the Effect of 【Infernoid Onuncu】 this Turn to Tribute one 【Shadow Token】 on his Field to Negate Joey Wheeler's earlier bluff, 【Pot of Greed】, 【Void Imagination】 was stirring, about to drop a ball of Flames onto Joey Wheeler's Field.
However, empowered by 【AD Changer】, the Dragon Claw blade in 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】's hand flashed with Radiance, cutting an arc through the air. In just the blink of an eye, the Field Spell Card 【Void Imagination】 was utterly Destroyed, and the surroundings returned to their original Environment, leaving only faint scorch marks on the Ground.
And the Power of this Destroyed Space was not Wasted. 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】's Left Hand clenched forward fiercely, grasping a large mass of Mystical Power and bringing it under its Control. The Aura around its Body surged!
【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】【ATK 3000 → 4000】
"Yosh, now its ATK has increased to a level comparable to 【Obelisk the Tormentor】!"
Joey Wheeler said with full confidence, "Next Turn, it will be our Victory! We will definitely Defeat you, who is now Controlled by Darkness, Hayato!"
【Joey Wheeler: 2000 LP, Hand 0】
【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】【ATK 4000】
Hearing this, Hayato, who was "Controlled by Darkness," gave a Cold Snort: "Indeed, that is quite the Power, but it's still not enough. You're still far from being able to Defeat me."
"Although it seems I have no chance now, and even if I continue to Summon 【Infernoid】 from the Graveyard, I can't resist 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】, I will entrust my Destiny to this Draw!"
Saying this, Hayato placed his Finger on his Deck and shouted, "My Turn!"
"Draw a Card!"
The drawn Card flashed with a golden light. Feeling the powerful Power building up on the Card, Hayato couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth: "Ya☆da☆zei! This Duel is my Victory!"
"I Activate the Set Card in my Spell/Trap Zone, 【Reckless Greed】! I Draw two cards from my Deck, then I skip my next two Draw Phases." With the sure-win Card in his Hand, Hayato directly pressed the button to Activate the Set Card and Drew two cards. "But it doesn't matter, because this Duel will end this Turn!"
"I Activate the Magic Card 【Unexpected Dai】! If there are no monsters on my Field, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from my Deck."
Saying this, Hayato Searched for a Card that made both Joey Wheeler and Yugi stunned: "This is the monster I will Special Summon! Come forth, waga Tamashii!"
"【Crawler】!"
【Crawler】【Level 3/DARK】
【Warrior Type/Normal】
【900/800】
"It's 【Crawler】!" Joey Wheeler exclaimed in surprise. "You call this a 'pure 【Infernoid】 Deck'?"
"Why would you Summon 【Crawler】?" Yugi also frowned. "A Normal Monster with no Effects, even if its ATK were doubled or tripled, it shouldn't be a match for 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】."
"Heh heh, how does it feel to see a familiar monster appear on my Field, Yugi, Joey Wheeler?" Hayato said, while Activating a Card from his Hand. "But unfortunately, the purpose of doing this is just to prove one thing to you."
"I need Power, more Power! For that, it doesn't matter if I abandon old Friends. Even the Bond connecting you two on the Field, 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】, will become Fodder to Awaken the ultimate and strongest Power in my Deck!"
"Discard one card from my Hand! Activate this Ultimate Power!"
"【Super Polymerization】!"
"Nani? It's that Card!" Joey Wheeler was shocked. He took his eyes off 【Crawler】 and suddenly looked at the monster on his Field. "【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】!"
Under the Ultimate Power of 【Super Polymerization】, which can even fuse Time-Space, even a monster as strong as 【Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon】 was still powerless to resist, merging with 【Crawler】.
"That which was born from the Inner Darkness, now descends at the Stakes of a Soul! Devour the Bond and give Birth to a new threat from the depths of Hell!"
Hayato's face was ferocious, and he slammed a Card onto his Duel Disk. "Fusion Summon! Waga Tamashii!"
"【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】!"
The purple Evil Dragon stood behind Hayato. As he waved his hand forward, it lunged forward.
"Enter Battle Phase! Direct Attack on the Opponent Duelist!"
"Checkmate, Yugi, Joey Wheeler!"

Konami was spitting excitedly on the Lectern: "The day when OCG Decks can easily solve Super Magical Dragon Knight is already appearing on the Horizon."
A confused Duelist secretly asked the Puppeteer: "What is the Horizon?"
"The Horizon is that line you can see but will never reach."
Konami was spitting excitedly on the Lectern: "The Finisher of OCG Decks should expand the Advantage, have Self-Negate, have Resistance, and can reappear even if it's solved."
"What is expanding Advantage?" Cabba asked the Puppeteer.
"What is Self-Negate?" True King Sword Emperor asked.
"What is Resistance?" ABC-Dragon Buster asked.
"What is reappear?" Super Magical Dragon Knight asked.
Trickstar was in a bloody Battle with their Opponent.
Finally, Trickstar Candina called her High-Level: "We're out of ammo! We can't hold on! Requesting support from Headquarters!"
The reply from Headquarters was only 4 characters, concise and to the point: "Predaplant."
Trickstar subsequently won the Battle.
The Extra Deck monsters of the Invoked Deck went out to sea together.
Suddenly, a voice came: "I am Pot of Extravagance. For Duel Victory, I must eliminate the existence of a few monsters among you."
Invoked Purgatrio shouted immediately: "For the Glory of Invocation!" and jumped out.
After a while, the voice sounded again.
This time, Invoked Augoeides shouted: "For the Future of Invocation!" and jumped out.
Unexpectedly, after a short while, the voice sounded again.
"For Aleister's Victory!" Super Magical Dragon Knight shouted.
Predaplant Verte Anaconda whipped Invoked Mechaba out with its Dragon Tail.
