—This was also its advantage.
The fundamental reason Dark had made this decision was that he had drawn that crucial Magitech Card—[Thundurus]—at the very start of the turn!
Now that he had [Thundurus] in hand, there was naturally no need for Dark to wait any longer.
He would Special Summon [Timaeus the United Dragon], then use it as a sacrifice to Tribute Summon [Thundurus]. The outcome of this duel would be decided by [Thundurus].
On this Water Type field, barring any surprises, [Thundurus] should possess an overwhelming advantage. And of course, he would support it with [Dark Magician].
—For him, the equation for victory was that simple.
But surprises were precisely the things that happened suddenly when everything appeared to be going smoothly. Tim Doris's rapid burst began after his first Normal Summon.
The Magic Spirit he summoned at the start was a jellyfish with a completely transparent body, save for faint threads of golden light flowing within it. The jellyfish was human-sized and named [Golden Poison Jellyfish], a Magic Spirit Card Tim had refined after arriving in the Heavenly Court.
The [Golden Poison Jellyfish] that lived in nature possessed exceptionally distinct characteristics.
Using its fully transparent body, it would silently approach large prey, attach itself to the prey's back, and inject neurotoxin through its tentacles. The prey's vitality would then spill out like a flood bursting through opened gates, until it finally met death in an extreme eruption.
After being transformed into a Magic Spirit, [Golden Poison Jellyfish] had inherited similar traits. Its Ultimate Move greatly enhanced the attached target's strength, speed, and senses for a short time, but at the same time, the host had to pay for it with its life.
Under normal circumstances, Tim would not resort to a method that was practically equivalent to suicide.
