"The Fusion Materials for [Chimeratech Overdragon] are [Cyber Dragon] and one or more Machine-Type monsters. Its original ATK is determined by the monsters used as Fusion Material. Since it has five Fusion Materials, [Chimeratech Overdragon] gains 800 ATK for each, totaling 4000 points!"
"Not only that, but [Chimeratech Overdragon] can attack your monsters a number of times equal to the number of Fusion Materials used for its Summon in a single Turn, which means five consecutive attacks!"
Hayato said proudly. Although a monster with an ATK as high as [Obelisk the Tormentor] that can also punch the opponent five times is indeed awesome, Dartz couldn't shake the feeling that Hayato just purely wanted to say "five consecutive attacks".
Just like some people get incredibly excited just by seeing a straight tree branch, or seeing a large stone thrown from a Mountain Peak into a lake, creating a splash, Dartz sometimes felt there was a generation gap between himself, who had lived for ten thousand years, and modern people, making it difficult to understand certain strange quirks.
After a brief pause, Hayato continued, "However, as everyone knows, powerful cards often come with great risk. When [Chimeratech Overdragon] is Summoned, it forcibly sends all other cards on my Field, besides itself, to the Graveyard."
"I see, you used [Chimeratech Overdragon]'s negative effect to deal with the [Nightmare's Mirage] on your Field?" Dartz said with a knowing expression. "The effect of the Continuous Spell Card [Nightmare's Mirage] doesn't start a Chain; it automatically takes effect during the Standby Phase, but only if it's still present on the Field."
"Did you snatch Hand Cards that should have belonged to an illusory future from the power of destruction...?" Dartz exclaimed, looking at the four cards in Hayato's Hand that didn't need to be Discarded.
"After using [Cyberload Fusion] to Summon [Chimeratech Overdragon], due to [Cyberload Fusion]'s effect, I cannot attack with any monster other than [Chimeratech Overdragon] this Turn. But that's fine, this one monster is enough to crush you, Dartz."
Due to the Restriction, Hayato wasn't in a hurry to Summon any other monsters. Instead, he directly ended his Main Phase 1 and entered the Battle Phase. "My Battle Phase! I use [Chimeratech Overdragon] to attack the [Relinquished] on your Field in Attack Position!"
"Although [Relinquished] has the nasty effect of reflecting damage, that's only if it has a monster equipped to it. Right now, your [Relinquished] with 0 ATK on your Field doesn't even have a single monster that can act as a shield. Accept this Judgment of Light, Dartz!"
Hayato waved his hand and ordered. The [Chimeratech Overdragon] behind him immediately reared up, its five mechanical dragon heads simultaneously opening their mouths, revealing the energy emission devices inside. Five beams of cyan, deadly laser light swept towards the [Relinquished] in Attack Position on Dartz's Field.
"Wait a moment, [Relinquished], you won't bear any more sin," Hayato said deeply, looking at [Relinquished]. "I have a kind heart, I can't stand to see others suffer. I'll help you achieve liberation from Dartz's hand right away!"
"Mount Lu Hundred Dragon Supremacy!"
'Who asked you to help me achieve liberation?!' Accompanied by Hayato's nonsensical attack name, the [Relinquished] on Dartz's Field seemed quite excited. If it had a mouth and could speak, it would have already cursed at Hayato.
After the laser with a towering 4000 ATK swept past, the original mud on the Ground in front of Dartz was completely cleared away, revealing the scorched Ground. But [Relinquished] still remained on Dartz's Field, completely unharmed. It opened its single eye, which had been shut in fear just now, looking relieved that it had survived.
If that twisted expression on its face could be called relief.
Hayato frowned. Although he had acted quite confident just now, he wasn't too surprised that his attack had failed. After all, he didn't think Dartz would be so easy to defeat. Following the direction of [Chimeratech Overdragon]'s attack, Hayato looked at the Set Card flipped up in Dartz's Back Row.
"Trap Card [Change of Fate], it can only be activated when your monster declares an attack. It negates that monster's attack and changes its state to Defense Position."
Dartz slowly explained the effect of the card he activated after the Trap Card was triggered. Looking at Hayato, he said seriously, "Although it can perform multiple attacks, if it's changed to Defense Position, even [Chimeratech Overdragon] loses its momentum."
"Humans are the same. No matter how brilliant the radiance they display at this moment, at the End Point of Destiny, there is still irreversible Ruin and Despair. No matter how hard humans try then, they cannot change that kind of Destiny."
Hearing Dartz's words, Hayato couldn't help but think of the Future decades later in the original timeline, the deeds of the Four Bringers of Destruction.
Ener-D, driven by the emotions of the Human Heart, powered the Perpetual Motion Machine, installing a powerful engine for the development of human Material Civilization. With the speed of mental and spiritual development completely unable to keep up, humanity sped towards its Demise. By the time people in the Future discovered the Ruin, it was like a train speeding towards a cliff edge, completely unable to stop.
Even if the Four Bringers of Destruction of the apocalypse—Z-ONE, Antinomy, Paradox, and Aporia—tried their best, even going back to the Past to try and rewrite History, they could only watch helplessly as Doomsday descended and humanity went extinct in Pain.
The Orichalcos, which records the Darkness in the Hearts of the living beings on the Planet, did Dartz see the View of the Future through its Vision?
"So, Hayato, I want to change the Future, to change that future of Ruin and Unwillingness." Dartz looked at Hayato and said seriously, "Nothing is eternal. I can accept extinction, but it should be a peaceful ending like slumber, absolutely not such a painful demise."
"The [Chimeratech Overdragon], whose battle position was changed by [Change of Fate], cannot change its battle position as long as it remains Face-up Position on the Field. And after that, the opponent chooses one of [Change of Fate]'s effects to activate."
As Dartz's words fell, two doorways, one blue and one red, appeared in the card art of the [Change of Fate] he had opened in his Spell/Trap Zone, standing not far in front of Hayato.
"Choose, Hayato. I told you, I always welcome you to join me. That point hasn't changed even now." Dartz looked at Hayato with a sincere expression. "Let's create a New World together, and before humanity's Destiny sails towards irreversible Ruin, let's divert it towards a different Future."
"The red doorway means you can inflict damage equal to half of the ATK of the [Chimeratech Overdragon] whose attack was negated."
"And the blue doorway means Hayato, you can recover a value equal to half of the ATK of [Chimeratech Overdragon]."
"At the Divergence Point of Destiny, make your choice seriously."
Hearing Dartz invite him again and present him with two choices, Hayato hesitated for a rare moment.
Either deal 2000 damage to the opponent, or recover 2000 LP himself? What a nonsensical effect, but it's quite difficult to choose. If I deduct 2000 LP from Dartz, will he use Destiny Draw next Turn and finish me off?
Hmm? Am I actually hesitating because of the effect of [Change of Fate], and not because of Dartz's invitation?
What a joke, the answer to that kind of thing, haven't I known it for a long time now—
"I'm really sorry, Dartz, my answer is still a rejection. Even knowing that the End ahead is a Demise of Despair, unfortunately, I won't shed tears until I see the coffin, and I won't turn back until I hit a wall. You can say this is humanity's inferiority, but humans are just that stubborn." Hayato had a helpless expression, but then revealed a smile. "However, I prefer to call it humanity's resilience."
"Facing irresistible natural disasters and unbeatable enemies, humans have never survived in the World by compromise. Humans will continue to be this stubborn in the Future, overcoming countless difficulties, even Destiny itself."
"That kind of Ruin-filled Future isn't something you can decide! Our Destiny is for us to change ourselves!"
After a pause, Hayato recalled Paradox. "This is something I've made a promise with someone about, and a promise must be kept!"
Saying that, Hayato firmly chose the red doorway. "My choice is to inflict 2000 damage to you!"
As Hayato made his choice, the blue doorway shattered, and the power that could have recovered Hayato's LP disappeared from within, leaving only the red doorway filled with the power of destruction. Its power fell upon Dartz.
[Dartz: 4000 → 2000 LP]
Seeing Hayato reject him again, Dartz disappointedly lowered the hand he had raised earlier and said regretfully, "Is that so? You still won't join me, Hayato. Well, after all, it's you, Hayato. If it were that easy for you to join me, your soul wouldn't be so brilliantly shining."
"Come, Hayato, let me witness more of your radiance!"
Hearing Dartz's words, Hayato also smiled, "Hmph, then you absolutely must not blink, Dartz. The radiance that follows will be forever imprinted in your heart."
As he spoke, Hayato drew a card from his Hand: "End my Battle Phase, then in my Main Phase 2, I activate Continuous Spell Card [Future Fusion]!"
"As the name suggests, this card performs Fusion in the Future. I select Fusion Materials from my Deck and send them to the Graveyard. Then, in the Standby Phase of my Next Turn, I will Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster from my Fusion Deck using those monsters as Fusion Material."
Following the activation of [Future Fusion], Dartz saw a small Fusion Vortex appear in front of Hayato, seemingly waiting for Hayato to throw the Fusion Materials into it.
Catching the cards retrieved by his Duel Disk, Hayato specifically showed them to Dartz before sending them to the Graveyard: "The Fusion Materials I choose to send to the Graveyard are these five monsters."
"An EARTH Attribute Dragon-Type monster, [Dragonmaid Ernus];"
"An EARTH Attribute Dragon-Type monster, [Dragonmaid Nudyarl];"
"An EARTH Attribute Dragon-Type monster, [Hardened Armed Dragon];"
"An EARTH Attribute Dragon-Type monster, [Rock Conqueror Dragon];"
"An EARTH Attribute Dragon-Type monster, [Earth Conqueror Dragon]!"
A total of five Dragon-Type monsters were sent to the Graveyard by Hayato. Even though Hayato hadn't yet shown the monster he was going to Fusion Summon next Turn, Dartz already knew which Fusion Monster it was due to its overly famous Summoning Condition.
"Masaka, are you going to Summon the [Five-Headed Dragon], which has 5000 ATK and cannot be battle destroyed by EARTH, FIRE, DARK, or WATER Attribute monsters?!"
"Heh heh, that's right. The monster I'm going to Summon with the effect of [Future Fusion] in the Standby Phase of my Next Turn is none other than the sole designated boss monster of this 'Pure' Dragonmaid Deck, the invincible [Five-Headed Dragon]!"
Hayato took out the [Five-Headed Dragon] card and showed it to Dartz. However, since [Future Fusion]'s Fusion Summon is in the Next Turn, [Five-Headed Dragon] cannot appear yet.
As everyone knows, the most useless resistance in Duel Monsters is battle destruction immunity, but the best removal method is battle destruction. And [Five-Headed Dragon], with both ATK and DEF of 5000, possesses battle destruction immunity.
Although this battle destruction immunity is a crippled version, only effective against battles with monsters of the specified four Attributes and ineffective against LIGHT Attribute and Divine Attribute monsters, that doesn't matter. Could Dartz, this schemer, possibly pull out a LIGHT Attribute monster card?
Hayato selectively ignored the fact that the [Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands] currently standing on Dartz's Field was indeed a LIGHT Attribute monster.
Even if, hypothetically, Dartz could summon a high-ATK LIGHT Attribute monster and sit on the [Five-Headed Dragon] that Hayato was going to Summon next Turn.
However, Hayato didn't say he wasn't planning to summon any monsters this Turn.
"At this moment, five EARTH Attribute monsters have gathered in my Graveyard due to the effect of [Future Fusion]. Revive from beneath the Earth after a long absence, my first Kami!"
"Supernatural Strength and Chaos, Shaking Heaven and Earth! That power, now is the time for it to awaken from its ancient lament!"
Saying that, Hayato played a card from his Hand,
"Special Summon, [Grandsoil the Elemental Lord]!"
The Ground beneath his feet trembled as Hayato played the card on his Duel Disk. A thunderbolt struck from the darkness and crashed onto the Ground, splitting open a fissure. From within, a towering figure rose.
Following the tall [Chimeratech Overdragon], a second giant monster appeared behind Hayato—
[Grandsoil the Elemental Lord] [Level 8/EARTH]
[Beast-Warrior/Special Summon/Effect]
[2800/2200]
"Long time no see, [Earth Spirit God]. Let me wield your power once again." Looking at the monster that hadn't appeared behind him for a long time, Hayato smiled slightly and turned to look at Dartz. "[Grandsoil the Elemental Lord] cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned when the number of EARTH Attribute monsters in my Graveyard is exactly five."
"The Earth buries all things, and with the descent of the [Earth Spirit God], the dead will also revive!" Hayato said, taking a card from his Graveyard. "When [Grandsoil the Elemental Lord] is successfully Special Summoned, select one monster from your or your Opponent's Graveyard and Special Summon it to my Field."
"Come forth, [Dragonmaid Ernus]!"
The gentle-natured [Dragonmaid Ernus] was Special Summoned by Hayato from the Graveyard following the effect activation of [Grandsoil the Elemental Lord]. At this point, having summoned a second [Dragonmaid] monster, Hayato said proudly, "I told you, this is a 'Pure' Dragonmaid Deck."
Hearing this, from an angle Hayato couldn't see, the [Dragonmaid Ernus] who had just now appeared couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Not only that, but [Chimeratech Overdragon] can attack your monsters a number of times equal to the number of Fusion Materials used for its Summon in a single Turn, which means five consecutive attacks!"

Due to the Restriction, Hayato wasn't in a hurry to Summon any other monsters. Instead, he directly ended his Main Phase 1 and entered the Battle Phase. "My Battle Phase! I use [Chimeratech Overdragon] to attack the [Relinquished] on your Field in Attack Position!"
"Although [Relinquished] has the nasty effect of reflecting damage, that's only if it has a monster equipped to it. Right now, your [Relinquished] with 0 ATK on your Field doesn't even have a single monster that can act as a shield. Accept this Judgment of Light, Dartz!"

"The [Chimeratech Overdragon], whose battle position was changed by [Change of Fate], cannot change its battle position as long as it remains Face-up Position on the Field. And after that, the opponent chooses one of [Change of Fate]'s effects to activate."
As Dartz's words fell, two doorways, one blue and one red, appeared in the card art of the [Change of Fate] he had opened in his Spell/Trap Zone, standing not far in front of Hayato.
"Choose, Hayato. I told you, I always welcome you to join me. That point hasn't changed even now." Dartz looked at Hayato with a sincere expression. "Let's create a New World together, and before humanity's Destiny sails towards irreversible Ruin, let's divert it towards a different Future."

However, Hayato didn't say he wasn't planning to summon any monsters this Turn.
