"So... can we only use Miracle Fusion?"
A group of people watched Judai with worry.
"I'll banish Sky Hummingbird from the graveyard and Elemental Hero Bubbleman from the graveyard."
"Winds that have always accompanied me, rise into a tornado and shatter my enemies!
Fusion Summon—Elemental Hero Great Tornado!"
The figure of Avian appeared beside Judai, nodded at him, then leaped, transforming into a hero draped in a tattered cape, standing on the field.
Elemental Hero Great Tornado, LV 8, Wind Attribute, Warrior-Type, ATK 2800.
"When this card is Fusion Summoned, activate its effect. Halve the ATK and DEF of all monsters on your opponent's field!"
"Alright, this way, even next turn, Great Tornado's attack will be enough to handle it!" O'Brien cheered.
Grapha, Dragon Overlord of Dark World, ATK: 3200→1600.
"Battle, Great Tornado attacks Dragon Overlord Grapha!"
Great Tornado charged in front of the Dragon Overlord, swinging its fists, looking like a rogue, but every punch was filled with anger and sincerity.
Boom—
Dragon Overlord LP: 2500→1300.
"Heh heh heh heh, hahaha—So naive, too naive! The current me has surpassed the past!"
"Activate the effect for when a Fusion Summon leaves the field on the opponent's side. From my graveyard and banished monsters, choose one 'Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World' for a Special Summon!"
"What? It's revived again?"
"How many times is this guy going to revive before he's done?"
"No, I can't hold on any longer, sob sob—"
Seeing this Archfiend resurrect again and again, some students with weak mental endurance couldn't help but start crying, while others on the vehicle quickly hastened to console them.
As for those students controlled by demons, they had already fallen into complete despair.
Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World, LV 8, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2700.
Although it's 100 ATK lower than Great Tornado, everyone knows that if this continues, Judai will only become more endangered.
"It's not over yet! After this effect, there is still another effect!
The player with cards in their hand chooses one card to discard!"
The dragon lord chuckled: "I'll discard, Kahkki, Guerilla of Dark World. When this card is discarded to the graveyard by effect, target one monster on the field and destroy it."
"It's over—"
Everyone's face was filled with despair.
After this effect activates, Judai will be completely empty-handed.
His hand cards were down to the last three cards.
How can he face Dragon Overlord's army and countless hand cards?
Judai looked at the cards in his hand, and his eyes gradually shone with a golden light.
To protect the weak, one must be stronger and more evil than the powerful evil!
Only by defeating evil can one protect others!
"Then, the one I'll discard is this." Judai raised a card, preparing to flip it over.
"?"
"Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World." He displayed the card to everyone.
"What!?" Grapha exclaimed.
"Ah!?"
"Is it the Demon God?"
"What's going on?"
"Why is it in The Supreme King's hand!"
Grapha was stunned at the original spot, recalling just now, Judai had merely caught a tiny spark of light...
In that moment, did he crystallize it into a card!?
"This turn is my turn! Thus, my effect activates first, your effect activates afterward." Judai spoke calmly, "And the effect that activates later is Chain 2, the one that activates first is Chain 1. In one chain, Chain 2 is processed first, then Chain 1.
Therefore—
At this moment, your Kahkki will destroy my Great Tornado."
An assassin suddenly appeared behind Great Tornado, its face full of terror, clearly unwilling to strike, but seemingly controlled by some force, it stabbed towards Great Tornado.
Great Tornado peacefully endured the attack, then went to the graveyard.
"And then—Reign-Beaux's effect starts to process!"
"This card, Special Summon!"
The phantom of the Demon God slowly appeared before Judai, lifeless, emotionless, yet seemingly alive.
Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World, LV 7, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2500.
"Oh no!" The Dragon Overlord gasped and couldn't help but step back.
Something terrible had happened!
"Your skills will be your downfall too! Grapha!!" Judai pointed at his opponent, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent. He could no longer suppress the rage within.
The Skyscraper Dimension was invaded, the school train attacked, classmates abducted, and... in front of him, someone he needed to protect was killed.
He had seen all the possibilities!
"Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World's effect, when this card is discarded to the graveyard by an opponent's card effect, it activates. Special Summon this card. Also, when this card is Special Summoned by this effect, you can choose one of its effects to apply.
1. Destroy all Monsters on the opponent's field.
2. Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the opponent's field."
The choice is obvious.
Grapha opened his mouth.
"Did you figure out my effect at that moment?"
"Reign, destroy all Monsters on the opponent's field!" Judai showed no intention of responding as he pointed directly at the opponent's field.
Reign swung his long spear, spinning like a windmill, targeting Grapha's field.
With a series of explosions, many Archfiends on Grapha's field burst like firecrackers, turning into starlight and illuminating the overcast sky.
The Dragon Overlord couldn't help but swallow.
Since it was a Monster Special Summoned during the Battle Phase, Reign could still attack.
"...Well, at least I've seen my future, my possibilities." Grapha shook his head in regret.
The Supreme King, it truly was not something he could defeat easily.
Even the unawakened Supreme King was something he couldn't kill.
"To die by Reign's hand, it must be fate and retribution."
"Direct attack by the Overlord of Dark World!"
The Demon God flew out, piercing Grapha's chest with a spear, ending in the same fate as Reign.
Grapha spat blood and laughed maniacally, "Not bad, not bad at all — ha ha ha, truly impressive!"
The Dragon Overlord Grapha, LP: 1300 → 0.
With a bang, he shattered into light just like Reign.
"Uh, uh — ah ah ah —" Some of the Archfiends affiliated with the Dragon faction, who initially thought the situation was favorable, were suddenly lost and dropped their weapons in panic. Some Archfiends even fled, abandoning their belongings.
"How, how is this possible?" Some Archfiends who trusted the Dragon Overlord were dumbfounded, mouths agape.
"Impossible! The Supreme King's power, how can it be so strong! Damn it — Supreme King, stop or I'll kill him—" The Frenzied King was in disbelief but did not stop his actions, grabbing a human to threaten Judai.
The students on the train, momentarily dazed by the sudden victory, were about to celebrate but were now shocked by this scene.
However—
Judai merely glanced at them.
He waved his hand, and Neos appeared beside him, transforming in an instant into a Warrior clad in black armor. It unleashed terrifying black lightning upon the Dragon faction's Archfiends.
"Urgh—"
"Aagh!!"
Death, death, endless death.
All the Archfiends unwilling to give up, those wishing to resist, were struck by the black lightning and turned to dust!
The Frenzied King struggled, trying to use a human shield against the lightning, but the bolts seemed to have eyes, striking him directly.
"Damn, damn... my ambition—" He seemed to have some sinister plans, but they were shattered in an instant before unfolding.
Countless Archfiends turned into points of light, absorbed into Neos' body, seemingly transforming into something else, flickering within Judai's heart.
He stood silent.
"Judai?" Jim called out softly.
"Ah, it's okay, I'm okay."
He said, at a distance, a group of people glowing began to float over.
Was it the rescue from the Lightsworns?
Judai felt relieved.
"Hey—" He waved, and the students in the car waved too, while Kenzan and others started helping the students previously captured by the Archfiends, calling for aid.
A group of Lightsworn Spirits flew over.
However, the first sentence instantly chilled the atmosphere.
"The Supreme King!?" The leading Lightsworn Angel nervously gripped his weapon, clearly terrified.
Crack—
Jim felt a blow to his chest.
It was as if he heard something shattering instantly.
