“I'm soaring!”
Even though it bore the name of "God", before the power of Super Polymerization that surpassed "God", Despair God - Antihope was crushed without any power to resist, merging with the power of Progenitor Dragon - Old Dragon and transforming into a "vine" on Hayato's Field.
“Whether it's the long history, or the shadow and despair, all of it is material that crowds around the Flower of the Deep Hell to bloom. Absorb the power and bloom, Wagatama Soul!”
Hayato shouted loudly, and hearing Hayato's voice, the vine-like purple Dragon suddenly opened its eyes!
“Fusion Summon! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!”
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon [Level 8/DARK Attribute]
[Dragon Type/Fusion/Effect]
[2800/2000]
“H-He actually took my 'God'!?” On Sho Marufuji's Duel Disk, accompanying the activation of Super Polymerization, the card of Despair God - Antihope disappeared and went to the Graveyard. He, who was extremely arrogant just now, finally revealed a terrified expression at this moment. “If I don't have my 'God', how can I continue dueling!?”
“No! Calm down, me!” His fingernails dug into his flesh because of his clenched fist. The pain made Sho Marufuji regain his composure for an instant, looking at Starving Venom Fusion Dragon in Attack Position on Hayato's Field. “It's just a monster with 2800 ATK, it can't break through Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union. I still have—”
But Sho Marufuji's muttering was interrupted by Hayato's words: “Actually, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's material requirement is just two DARK Attribute monsters. However, when all the material used for its Fusion Summon are monsters on the Field, its first effect activates, and its ATK increases by the total ATK of all Special Summoned monsters on the Opponent's Field until the End Phase.”
“Which means, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's ATK at this moment will add the ATK value of Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union, which is 3600 points.”
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon received the command, extending several vines in an instant, wrapping around Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union on Sho Marufuji's Field. The jewels on various parts of its body lit up with brilliant, beautiful, yet dangerous purple radiance, and its ATK surged rapidly.
Starving Venom Fusion Dragon [ATK 2800 → 6400]
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but in the instant Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's ATK finished increasing, Hayato saw that several jewels seemed to have absorbed enough nourishment, splitting open with gaps like plant seeds. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, but in Sho Marufuji's terrified gaze, he waved his hand and said:
“Enter Battle Phase, the target is Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union. Attack, Starving Venom!”
“Ancient Abyss, open up! Light covering the earth, darkness covering the sky, sink into the Abyss that even time cannot reach!”
“Shrouding Moon Pearl of the Evening Night!”
Even though it was daytime, in the instant Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, whose ATK had soared to 6400 points, attacked, many people present felt like they saw a slanted moon projecting moonlight that influenced their mind, causing them to lose reason and become frenzied. The purple jewels on Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's body shone even more brightly.
When the radiance dispersed, the giant Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union had been silently knocked down, its wreckage covered by a patch of vines. Even the metal became nourishment, feeding the vines' growth. Sho Marufuji had been directly knocked down onto the ground, falling unconscious, just like he had done to his Brother Ryo Marufuji.
The numbers on his Duel Disk rapidly went to zero.
[Sho Marufuji: 500 LP → 0]
He originally only had 500 LP remaining. After this duel was converted into a Dark Game, he then took 2800 points of Battle Damage from Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, which exceeded Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union's ATK. It wasn't difficult to understand that Sho Marufuji, who was just an annoying ten-year-old Kid, would faint like this.
However, although Hayato and the others were used to it, many Apprentices watching this duel were greatly surprised by the World of Duel Monsters, which they didn't understand deeply yet, and even started to retreat.
“I-It's just dueling, how did two people faint like this?” “Duel Monsters is too dangerous, isn't it? How did I never know it was such a dangerous game?” “While it's hot...”
Seems like some strange comments got mixed in?
However, Hayato didn't care whether those "Cyber Style" Apprentices would fear Duel Monsters just because they watched a duel. If they flinched at just this level, their purity was only so-so, and they weren't suitable for the brave and forward-charging "Cyber Style". He still had very important matters that he couldn't entrust to others and had to do himself.
Taking off Ryo Marufuji's Duel Disk, only when using someone else's Duel Disk did Hayato realize again how useful the automatic search and automatic shuffle function Keipei had modified onto his own Duel Disk was. After tidying up his Deck and putting it back into his Card Box, Hayato wasn't in a hurry to return the Duel Disk to Ryo Marufuji, who hadn't woken up yet. Instead, he quickly came to the side of the fallen Sho Marufuji.
Subconsciously, Hayato was about to skillfully take off the opponent's Duel Disk and then take out the entire Deck.
“Tsk, I did it out of habit without thinking.”
After pausing for a moment, Hayato only took a few [Roid] Cards. Then, he removed the Despair God - Antihope Card from the Graveyard Zone of Sho Marufuji's Duel Disk.
His goal for intervening in the duel between Sho Marufuji and Ryo Marufuji midway was for this card. He was too curious why this card would appear in Sho Marufuji's hand. However, it wasn't suitable to study the card in public. Hayato just put the Despair God - Antihope Card into the Card Box on his waist, saving it for later careful examination.
He wasn't worried at all about leaving this Despair God - Antihope Card in the Card Box like this, in case it was stolen or silently did something to the others around Hayato. One must know, Hayato always kept his Deck in the System's Warehouse; the Card Box was just for disguise. Inside were the [Earthbound Immortals], the [Three Egyptian Gods], and them.
Although Despair God - Antihope's presence was quite high in the manga, looking at the power of this card Hayato obtained, let alone the [Three Egyptian Gods], even Starving Venom Fusion Dragon had stronger power than it possessed. If it really dared to do anything under the suppression of the various boss monsters, Hayato would have to feel impressed by its courage.
And speaking of Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Hayato also recalled the changes he noticed on Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's body during the duel process and conveniently opened the system. Just now after the duel end, besides the notification for DP Points settlement, he also heard some message. As soon as he opened the system, he received a notification for achievement completion.
[Congratulations on completing the hidden achievement: “It branches and sprouts day and night, until it bears bright fruit”]
[Achievement Details: Use Super Polymerization to Summon Starving Venom Fusion Dragon and devour targets a certain number of times (3/3)]
[Note: Prey Target has strength requirements. This achievement is unknown before the prey is completed]
[Reward: 1000 DP, Predaplant Preconstructed Deck obtained]
