"I set three cards and end my turn."
With a flash of golden light, Kira’s back row now held three set cards.
"End Phase—because ’D.D. Scout Plane’ was banished by ’Allure of Darkness,’ I special summon it in Attack Position at the end of this turn."
[D.D. Scout Plane, ATK 800]
"My turn, draw." Luca declared. "I activate the Spell Card ’Pot of Greed,’ drawing two cards."
With two more cards in hand, he suddenly brightened as he glanced at one, then couldn’t help but throw his head back in laughter.
Kira raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Drew your key card?"
"Heh, I was going to test your skills a bit more, but it looks like this guy wants to face you too."
Luca lowered his voice, building the atmosphere.
"The duel’s just started, but it’s about to end. Still, you’re lucky—you get to witness my ultimate ace monster.
I activate the Equip Spell, ’Future Fusion’! (Anime effect)"
He raised the card high, and the spell’s image appeared before him, the sky shimmering with a rainbow aurora.
"Future Fusion lets me choose a Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck, send its materials from my Deck to the Graveyard, and perform the Fusion!"
"The anime version of Future Fusion, huh?" Kira narrowed his eyes.
He’d known about this card, but seeing it in person, he still wanted to complain about how broken it was.
The printed card’s nerfed version already got banned for being too strong, and even that was nowhere near as absurd as the anime version, which fuses instantly from the deck with no restrictions. Even the infamous pre-errata Future Fusion is tame by comparison.
"Nice card you’ve got there." Kira smiled mysteriously.
"Don’t blink, because what’s coming is the ultimate monster."
Luca pulled a huge stack of cards from his deck.
"I send twenty-five different Worm monsters from my deck to the Graveyard for an ultimate twenty-five-fold Fusion! Descend now—the origin and zero point of all things, the strongest Ultimate Worm!"
The world shook.
Twenty-five Worm spirits appeared, gathering toward the swirling vortex in the sky. A terrifying existence was brewing within.
"Not so fast."
Kira snapped his fingers.
"Before ’Future Fusion’ resolves, I chain this card—"
He grinned oddly, looking almost eerie in the pre-dawn light.
"Continuous Trap—Macro Cosmos!
All cards sent to the graveyard are banished instead."
Luca froze for two seconds.
Then his pupils shrank, and horror twisted his face.
"Wait a second!"
He instinctively reached toward his Future Fusion.
"Wait, don’t send them! Stop! Yamero!"
