Chapter 78: Explode, Everything Can Explode
"Levia-Dragon - Daedalus!?" Bakura recognized this monster and remembered its effect, shouting a reminder to Hayato: "This is bad, Hayato, that monster's effect is—!"
"Levia-Dragon - Daedalus's effect is to destroy all cards on the field except itself!" Before Bakura could finish explaining the effect, Anasis spoke it out, "Although it requires sending Umi on the field to the Graveyard, everything else will be swallowed by the flood!"
"Unleash the waves and swallow everything, Levia-Dragon - Daedalus! Purge everything except yourself! Deep Sea Extinction Destruction!"
Levia-Dragon - Daedalus, hidden beneath the surging sea surface, began swimming around the entire field. Its massive body could stir up huge waves with just a slight movement, let alone the violent activity it was undertaking now? Between the giant waves that almost reached the sky, Hayato finally saw the hidden Levia-Dragon - Daedalus.
Levia-Dragon - Daedalus [7☆/WATER]
[Sea Serpent Type/Effect]
[2600/1500]
"Before it's destroyed, I activate the Set Card on my field, Interdimensional Matter Transporter!"
One of the two Set Cards in Hayato's Spell/Trap Zone flipped open, revealing a rather magical-looking instrument. "I can banish one monster on my field until the End Phase. Go to the Different Dimension and temporarily avoid the giant waves, VW!"
The instrument activated, and a seemingly fragile grey membrane appeared before VW-Tiger Catapult in the sky. VW-Tiger Catapult entered this membrane, and almost the very next moment, the towering giant waves swept over.
Although VW-Tiger Catapult avoided Levia-Dragon - Daedalus's destruction due to the effect of Interdimensional Matter Transporter, the other cards on Hayato's field were not so lucky. Whether it was Frontline Base, the already activated Interdimensional Matter Transporter, or the Set Card Destruction, all were swallowed by the waves.
The tide gradually receded, revealing the original land that had been submerged by Umi. Apart from the majestic Levia-Dragon - Daedalus on Anasis's field, Hayato's field was completely empty.
"Hahaha, although that flying machine dodged it, your field is now completely empty." Anasis laughed smugly, "In that case, you'll have to face its direct attack!"
"Go, Levia-Dragon - Daedalus, Sea Serpent Torrent!"
Watching a large amount of water gather in Levia-Dragon - Daedalus's mouth, forming a huge compressed water sphere, Hayato remained completely calm: "Before that, the effect of Card Destruction that was destroyed by your Daedalus activates!"
"When it's destroyed by your effect and sent to the Graveyard, I can draw cards from my Deck equal to the number of Card Destruction in the Graveyard!"
"It's just one card, what use can it be? Useless, useless! All resistance appears weak and insignificant before Levia-Dragon - Daedalus, which symbolizes the authority of the Ocean!"
Hayato was not affected by Anasis's words. Instead, he placed his finger on his Deck and spoke to himself: "I entrust my heart to the Deck, and the Deck will naturally respond to my call, so, Draw a Card!"
Drawing a card from the top of his Deck, Hayato heard a familiar "Kuri~", and without even looking, he played the card: "The monster I drew is this one, Rainbow Kuriboh!"
"Partner, save me!"
Although Umi had disappeared, the air was still humid. Sunlight shone down, and a brilliant seven-colored rainbow appeared on Hayato's field. The rainbow transformed into a soft yet tough light band, bravely meeting the water column fired towards Hayato. Because it was for protection, the illusory rainbow light band was indestructible at this moment; even the majestic Sea Dragon could not tear it apart.
"Kuri!"
Rainbow Kuriboh's figure emerged from the light band and rode the light band to Anasis's field, completely surrounding Levia-Dragon - Daedalus, which was helpless against the rainbow light band, and completely controlling it.
"Daedalus's attack was blocked? What's going on!" Anasis didn't expect his proud combo to be blocked by a seemingly weak and cute monster.

"Because your turn has ended, return from the Different Dimension, VW!"
The duration of Interdimensional Matter Transporter ended, and VW-Tiger Catapult returned to Hayato's field through the grey dimensional wall.
"This is bad, if that flying machine activates its effect again, won't Boss's Daedalus be destroyed!?" Socrates thought of a bad possibility, "If that guy summons a monster with 1250 or more ATK again, Boss will be in danger!"
"My turn, Draw a Card!" Hayato drew a card, looked at it, and then revealed it, "Activate the effect of the Graceful Charity I just drew! I can draw three more cards, then discard two cards from my hand."
Drawing three cards and looking at them, Hayato was pleased: "Discard two cards from my hand, and then I activate Graceful Charity again!"
"Constantly changing your hand, it seems your hand isn't very good." Anasis watched Hayato draw three more cards and then discard two. Because the current environment of Duel Monsters doesn't utilize Graveyard resources very well, he didn't understand that what Hayato was doing was called "Graveyard Setup".
"It'll be ready soon, old man." Although the number of cards in his hand was still three, the two Graceful Charity just now had sent all three Ojama Brothers, who had been lingering in Hayato's hand for a long time, into the Graveyard. "Because the rule of victory has already been decided!"
"Activate Ojama Conversion from my hand! I can show you one monster, then banish monsters with 'Ojama' in their name from my Graveyard, Hand, or Field." Hayato said, drawing a monster from his Extra Deck, "The one I'm showing is this one, XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
"Send three small fry Ojama monsters to the Different Dimension, and then, summon the three material needed for XYZ-Dragon Cannon from my Deck!"
"Come to my field, X-Head Cannon! Y-Dragon Head! Z-Metal Tank!"
Stuffing the struggling Ojama Brothers into his pocket, Hayato did not stop after summoning the three monsters, but instead slammed the previously shown XYZ-Dragon Cannon onto the Duel Platform:
"There are three Level four monsters on the field. Here I come, Anasis! I will Overlay the three monsters to build the Overlay Network, XYZ Summon!"
"Appear! XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"
Commentary: The protagonist's Deck finally has a complete system. Although it doesn't have the invincible ABC support, it's still quite strong in the current environment.
