## Watching Yu-Gi-Oh!
Shorts, the Old-school Duelists Have a Meltdown!
# Chapter 15: The Shock of the Destroyer Phoenix!
The HERO’s Ultimate Glory Card!
As duelists across the various worlds wore expressions of utter bewilderment, the play involving the unusual Link Monster, Xtra HERO Wonder Driver, began.
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “Now, this card is where things get interesting!”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “Effect number one! Whenever a HERO monster is summoned to a zone this card points to, you can recover a Fusion or Change Quick-Play Spell from your graveyard!”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “The Link Arrows—that is, the directions the arrows point—are Up and Down!”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “We banish Destiny HERO – Malicious from the graveyard to Special Summon another Malicious to the zone directly below Wonder Driver.”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “This triggers Wonder Driver’s effect, allowing us to retrieve the Spell card from the graveyard—specifically, the Polymerization we used earlier to summon Sunrise!”
As the video creator’s voice continued line by line, the footage on screen followed every instruction frame by frame.
The duelists of the various worlds were stunned.
They never imagined such a sequence was possible!
So that was it!
The purpose of those arrows was finally clear!
Except for the VRAINS world, which already knew the mechanic, the other five worlds finally understood what the Link Arrows represented.
They also grasped the utility of Wonder Driver.
Whether it was recycling Polymerization or recovering Mask Change, the card offered the potential for a battlefield that could shift in an instant.
*Is this…
the true power of HEROes?*
…
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “Alright, we’ve recovered Polymerization. What’s next?”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “Remember when I mentioned the second combo path for Xtra HERO and said Destiny HERO – Denier was a mandatory one-of inclusion?”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “Next, we activate Polymerization again! We’ll fuse the Denier we just searched with the Malicious currently on the field!”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “At this point, we are about to begin our strongest Fusion!”
“Yes! The crown jewel of the HERO deck!”
“The Fusion of Destiny that brings forth the power of ruin!”
“The Ace who shatters the limits of the self!”
“The interference ‘Toilet Card’ that utilizes destructive self-detonation!”
“The King of HEROes whose true home is the graveyard!”
This string of dramatic titles and nicknames left Jaden Yuki and Aster Phoenix in the GX world completely speechless.
*Wait a minute.*
*It’s just one Fusion monster.
Is it really necessary to give it that many nicknames?*
*And besides…
is this card supposed to be strong or not?*
One second it was a “Glory Card,” and the next it was a “Toilet Card.” What was that supposed to mean?
Jaden and Aster exchanged a look of pure confusion, their curiosity piqued to the maximum.
…
**DM World**
Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto also watched with focused, inquisitive eyes.
Since this was the climax of an “explosive combo,” the ace monster was bound to possess terrifying board-control capabilities.
It certainly wouldn’t be as simple as they imagined.
But the buildup was incredibly long.
Just what kind of monstrosity were they about to fuse?
With heavy doubts, the people from the two worlds most familiar with Fusion sharpened their focus.
As for the duelists of the 5D’s world and others, they didn’t feel much.
It was just a Fusion Summon—could it really turn the world upside down?
The reality, however, was that Fusion Summons often birthed true monsters.
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “Come forth! Fusion Summon!”
[Noble Toxic HERO Player]: “[Destiny HERO – Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer]!!!”
[Card Name: Destiny HERO – Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer (Level 8)]
[Attribute: DARK]
[Type: Warrior / Fusion / Effect]
[ATK/DEF: 2500/2100]
With a final shout, the ultimate Fusion Ace made its grand appearance!
Without a doubt, it was the terrifying Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer—the legendary “DPE” that once dominated the dueling world!
The immortal phoenix of destruction!
**Effect 1**: Monsters your opponent controls lose 200 ATK for each “HERO” card in your GY.
*A powerful, passive stat-reduction effect!*
*An unreasonable “Quick-effect” destruction.
If it has to get ruthless, it’ll even blow itself up!*
**Effect 3**: If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can activate this effect; Special Summon 1 “Destiny HERO” monster from your GY during the Standby Phase of the next turn.
*An absurd revival effect that allows it to bring itself back, only to repeat the destruction loop all over again!*
…
**In the Main World**
Yuuki Hoshi couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement when he saw this monster appear!
*He’s here!*
*It’s him!*
*This is the card!
The legendary “engine” that could be splashed into almost any deck!*
“So cool! Even though I’m not a HERO main, I’ve always loved this card!”
“Throw in a Celestial, a Dasher, and a Fusion Destiny—and you’re good to go!”
“Not bad, but it looks like the board setup isn’t over yet?”
Yuuki Hoshi narrowed his eyes.
More than the video itself, he was looking forward to how much money he would make after this video finished airing.
When would he finally be able to buy out Konami?
…
**GX World**
The moment Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer appeared, everyone stared at its three effects in a daze.
Their mindsets were still rooted in an older era.
Looking at this Phoenix, they didn’t realize just how broken it was at first glance.
But as they processed the implications…
The pupils of Jaden Yuki and Aster Phoenix suddenly shrank!
After glancing at each other, both of them showed looks of sheer horror!
Yes.
They were starting to feel afraid.
This Phoenix…
was quite literally a “Fake Card” so broken it defied common sense!
