"I see..." France nodded knowingly at this moment.
With this effect, combined with some revival methods, it can be retrieved during the opponent's turn and then its effect can be used.
But why did that Millennium Eye openly disclose all this?
"Tenjo Hikari... is it? No wonder those outside praise you so much. You truly are a Fusion Duelist who claims to understand everything about Fusion... To think that when I used this card, its effect flashed through your mind."
Tsk...
Oh!
A group of people suddenly understood.
Ah, so Tenjo Hikari knows these cards!
No wonder—
It's not generosity, but since the opponent already knows, you might as well demonstrate your own 'strength' in front of bystanders!
The Millennium Eyes Restrict pointed at the monsters on Tenjo Hikari's field: "Battle, Millennium-Eyes Restrict attacks Edge Imp Chain."
A green light flashed across the Millennium-Eyes Restrict's head, and the gemstone passed through Tenjo Hikari, shattering the monster.
"But it doesn't matter, if Chain goes to the Graveyard, you can retrieve a Frightfur card, correct? In this way, Tenjo Hikari may have additional tactics afterward," Para said.
"That's right, although Frightfur Patchwork can only be activated once per turn, Tenjo Hikari's deck should also have a card like Frightfur Fusion."
"Naive."
The Millennium Eye sneered: "So naive."
It glanced outside.
In this special glass, people inside the laboratory can't see the scenery outside, but it doesn't use 'seeing.'
It looked precisely at the Maze Brothers and chuckled: "Do you think Tenjo Hikari dares to use this effect?"
Tenjo Hikari remained silent, shaking his head.
"Why not activate that effect?"
The audience outside began to ask, puzzled.
"Millennium-Eyes Restrict's effect. Once per turn, when your opponent's monster effect activates, target one Effect Monster on your opponent's field or in their Graveyard. Equip that opponent's Effect Monster to this card as an Equip Card and use it."
"Wow..." Maeda Hayato couldn't help but knock on the window, "So, even if Tenjo-san uses the effect, it will be directly absorbed and then become an Equip Spell that increases ATK by 1200?
Also, since it's equipped, the search effect cannot be used..."
Pegasus frowned deeply.
"NO NO NO~~ I wouldn't choose that card." Millennium Eye mimicking Pegasus's actions, its movements lifelike as if it were Pegasus, said, "Tenjo Hikari, if you want to use that card's effect to retrieve Frightfur Fusion, then feel free to activate it. I guarantee that I won't equip that Chain."
Tenjo Hikari was a bit speechless, glancing aside, ignoring it. He wasn't actually afraid of Millennium-Eyes Restrict's effect because he remembered the adjustment notes mentioning that it couldn't be activated during the damage calculation phase. However, based on its description, it seemed it might be possible to activate. But that wasn't the main reason; Tenjo Hikari didn't search mainly because he only brought the Frightfur Patchwork components this time and didn't have any other Frightfur Fusions, so there were no cards to search.
The Millennium Eye, seeing Tenjo Hikari not taking the bait, casually set two cards, not particularly regretful.
"Why?" Maeda Hayato asked in confusion.
Right?
Several members and newcomers from the Industrial Illusions Company expressed their doubts at this time.
Why?
This guy didn't seem to be lying.
"It's that card." Pegasus suddenly spoke up at this time, explaining to everyone, "Monster Card, A-Assault Core. That monster has the special effect of 'Equipment Monster unaffected by other opponent's monster effects.'
This effect can work even if it's equipped by a card like Millennium-Eyes Restrict."
"Eh?" Maeda Hayato listened, momentarily confused and asked, "But if it's equipped, wouldn't it be nullified by Millennium-Eyes Restrict's effect?"
"No—" Pegasus shook his head gently, "Hayato, if you want to become an excellent designer, having just artistry isn't enough~~ You must fully understand CARD effects and rules too—
The effect of Millennium-Eyes Restrict nullifies the effects of the monster equipped to it with this card name and effect, and it can't attack, but as an Equip Card, A-Assault Core will be treated as an Equip Spell Card... so it retains 'effect.'
"Eh—" Maeda Hayato and France were both astonished.
"I didn't intend to design such a strong card." Pegasus leaned one elbow on the glass, saying, "Cards like this have pure strength with no aesthetic—
"What are you talking about, Pegasus? Isn't it you who designed such a card? Relinquished, which was originally designed by you!" Millennium Eye's expression was somewhat displeased, snorting a few times, glancing outside the window, then continued, "Any Duelist will seek stronger cards, this is only natural!
If you want this world that has witnessed other dimensions and seen spirits to keep progressing in the old way, that's simply impossible!
Accept reality—powerful cards are the reality of this world!"
The Millennium Eye snorted twice more, then looked at Tenjo Hikari, saying: "Like your highly awaited 'Laundry Dragonmaid,' its weak effect is practically useless. It can't open this so-called 'future' for you!
Thus, end this turn, it's your move, Tenjo Hikari."
Tenjo Hikari frowned, looking at the two Set Cards on the Millennium Eye's field, frowning and contemplating.
