"Activate Spell Card: Magicalized Fusion!"
[Banish Fusion Material Monsters listed on a Spellcaster Fusion Monster from your field or Graveyard, then Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck.]
"Baka na! You actually top-decked Magicalized Fusion at the most crucial moment?!"
The white-haired loli who had just been full of arrogant flair suddenly lost all expression.
Magicalized Fusion, just like the legendary Dragon's Mirror, was a high-tier Fusion Spell—an A-rank Spell valued at 400 Magic Points.
Even for someone as elite as Irena, her Deck would never include more than one.
It was a 1-in-40 chance.
Unlike standard Polymerization, which sends Fusion Materials from the hand or field to the Graveyard, Magicalized Fusion is a specialized Spellcaster-only card that uses monsters from the Graveyard as Fusion Material.
In other words, every Spellcaster that had appeared in this Duel and now rested in Miles and Aisha's Graveyards could become material for this Fusion Summon.
"Miles, what kind of monster are you planning to summon with this?"
To defeat both Sacred Beast and Divine Demon, Aisha couldn't think of a single Spellcaster Fusion strong enough with her limited card knowledge.
There was just one she remembered from a weird old book:
"Could it be that one... the legendary Fusion that requires five different Spellcasters to summon—the strongest of all spellcasters, Quintet Magician?!"
"Quintet's strong, and the monsters in the Graveyard qualify... but it's still not enough. It won't stop Hamon if its protection effect triggers again."
They were both too low on LP. If they stalled, someone like the Millennium Ring could easily finish them off with a surprise burn Spell next turn.
If they were going to win, it had to be now!
Using the hope granted by Miles' top-decked Magicalized Fusion, in conjunction with the card Aisha left behind last turn and the Fusion Monster already waiting in Irena's Extra Deck—
This was their true, three-way comeback.
"Let's do it, Aisha! Irena!"
From the Graveyard, two Spellcaster monsters glowed as Miles selected them as Fusion Material.
"I banish Dark Magician and Magician of Chaos from the Graveyard for Magicalized Fusion!"
With a dramatic toss, the two glowing cards were pulled into the mirror conjured by Magicalized Fusion.
Reflected within it appeared a new Spellcaster Fusion Monster.
"Wielding chaos that blends light and dark, the supreme arcane warrior tears through fate—Fusion Summon! Master of Chaos!"
[Master of Chaos] Level 8│DARK│Spellcaster / Fusion / Effect│3000 ATK / 2500 DEF
["Dark Magician" + 1 "Chaos" Ritual Monster]
Crack!
A sharp shattering of the magical mirror signaled the arrival of a golden-armored Fusion Mage, bearing a brilliant sword and shield, leaping from the spell.
"You did it, Miles!" Irena cheered.
A Fusion only possible by using Dark Magician and a Chaos Ritual Monster as materials.
And of course, being the strongest second-year at Fusion Academy, Irena already had Master of Chaos in her Extra Deck—without needing Miles to craft it on the spot.
Normally, the card would be almost impossible to Summon without Magicalized Fusion due to its material restrictions.
But now, it was the only monster capable of standing against both the Sacred Beast and Divine Demon.
With a flourish, Miles declared the next move.
"When Master of Chaos is Fusion Summoned, I can Special Summon 1 DARK monster from the Graveyard! Return to me, Kuriboh!"
[Kuriboh] DARK│DEF: 200
"Kuri-kuri!"
The pudgy little hero that had blocked a fatal blow earlier returned to float at Aisha and Miles' side.
"Huh?" The Millennium Ring loli blinked. "All that effort just to revive a Kuriboh? You joking?"
"It's not enough yet, Miles," Irena warned. "To unleash Master of Chaos's true power, you need more!"
"Of course I know. That's why we need this card! Let's go, Aisha!"
Sharing a knowing glance with Aisha Carlos, both Duelists pressed their fingers on the last face-down card.
"Using the strength Aisha left behind—"
"—to become Miles' final support!"
Miles & Aisha: "Activate Spell Card: Tri-Wight!"
[Target 3 Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon them.]
Three streaks of light shot from the Graveyard onto their field.
"I Special Summon 2 Crowned by the World Chalice and 1 Mokey Mokey from the Graveyard!"
A trio of so-called weaklings now stood firm on their field.
The Millennium Ring watched, thoroughly baffled.
"Useless junk! What can more weaklings possibly change?!"
"They change everything. This Duel ends here!"
Rallying his field of underdogs, Miles pointed to the two 4000-ATK monsters ahead with a shout of victory.
"When light and darkness are gathered, the chaos-wielding Master of Chaos unleashes a strike that shakes heaven and earth!"
"The... strongest strike?!"
"Activate the effect of Master of Chaos!"
[Tribute 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your field; banish all monsters your opponent controls.]
"I Tribute the DARK Kuriboh and LIGHT Mokey Mokey! The weaklings you scoffed at—they're powering this counterattack!"
Raising his sword high, Master of Chaos absorbed the light of Mokey Mokey and the shadow of Kuriboh. The combined chaos infused his blade with unrelenting power.
"With this strike, I banish Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder and Darkness Neosphere!"
Irena shouted, "Finish it, Miles! Show that arrogant freak the strength of our united souls!"
Miles, Aisha & Irena all said in unison, "Chaos Shatter Blade of the Supreme Magician!!"
With a flash of light and darkness intertwined, the swing of Master of Chaos's blade nearly tore apart the entire Shadow Game barrier.
[Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder] Banished
[Darkness Neosphere] Banished
With a single slash, silence fell. The Millennium Ring's field was cleared.
No destruction—true banishment. Two 4000-ATK monsters, removed from play.
"Impossible! My Sacred Beast! My Divine Demon!—Gone?!"
The white-haired loli staggered backward until her back hit the edge of the Shadow Game barrier.
Having lost both her trump cards at once, she now knew: she could no longer oppose Master of Chaos.
Even if her LP was technically higher than its ATK, that 5000 LP now felt like a candle in the wind.
"Time to finish you! And we'll count every one of your sins with this blow!"
Miles slapped down the last Equip Spell onto Master of Chaos.
"Equip Spell: United We Stand! With the power of every remaining monster, we end this Shadow Game!"
[The equipped monster gains 800 ATK/DEF for each face-up monster you control.]
With the spell equipped, the twin Crowned by the World Chalice joined hands and closed their eyes, offering sacred prayers that flowed into Master of Chaos.
Having already drawn power from Kuriboh and Mokey Mokey, the Fusion Spellcaster now received a final blessing.
This turn, Master of Chaos could slay gods.
"With three face-up monsters remaining, United We Stand increases ATK by 3×800 = 2400!"
[Master of Chaos, ATK: 3000 → 5400]
"This is the final blow. With this strike, we judge every sin you can no longer count!"
Master of Chaos charged, sword glowing with sacred light. With 5400 Attack, he slashed through even the dimensions themselves, finally inflicting damage for the first time in this entire Duel.
But that single hit became the judgment that annihilated the dark soul.
"—Chaos Verdict Slash of the Supreme Magician!!"
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
[Millennium Ring, LP: 5000 → 0]
