She is not in her perfect state now, but, empowered by this "duel of human destiny" and the "Philosopher's Stone," she can normally exert this ability.
"...Did it really bring everything back to the starting point?" Darkness was slightly surprised, "It seems, I underestimated you, Otherworld God."
Beside him, Yubel also reevaluated Tierra.
This Otherworld God is far more dangerous than she appears!
Does she have the ability to reconstruct everything?
Is this truly something an Otherworld Spirit God can do?
In Yubel's impression, perhaps only beings like the Black Luster Soldier can easily accomplish such feats.
"Beautiful! With this, even if Darkness draws a second Crimson Monster, it won't matter! All the cards that were banished have been recycled!" Ed excitedly cheered.
It seems, the victory is assured!
"I don't know what you intend to do, but at the end of the turn using Chain Material, you must destroy all monsters Special Summoned with that effect on your field."
"That, I naturally know. However, Trishula, the Dragon of Icy Imprisonment was not summoned using Chain Material, so it can remain."
"Then from the Graveyard, activate Fusion Substitute's effect, recycle Tierra, draw a card."
Still a card draw effect, Shared Ride's effect, still cannot be triggered!
At this moment, Tierra finally transformed into green starlight and returned to Tenjo Hikari's side.
Reincarnation, this is Tierra's authority, and unlike before, this time, she also holds a ball of white power—the Power of Creation from Darkness!
Darkness is not merely death; this world is his created "parallel world line" of humanity, so he himself possesses the power of creation, which is now gradually being absorbed by Tierra, transforming into part of her strength.
"Do you really not care about those grievances and sufferings?"
"I know, they spoke those words under the pressure of darkness." Tenjo Hikari said casually, "I will only care about the true culprits; some trivial noises won't affect my fusion."
"My turn ends."
Final Countdown: 16.
16...
Only 4 turns left.
Just hold on for 4 more turns—
Darkness drew two cards from his deck, and at the same time, the Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer also made a brilliant entrance.
Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer has the ability to destroy a card on your field and one on your opponent's field once per turn, so it must be dealt with.
Only...
He looked towards Tenjo Hikari's field.
Four Set Cards!
He spoke in a steady voice.
This time, it's his turn to face so many Set Cards!
Delay a bit more...
It's already 16!
"Activate the Magic Card, Ultimate Slayer!"
Hmm?
Tenjo Hikari looked at the card.
The image of a girl appeared in the world, bearing a golden bow raised high in the air.
The girl gently threw the arrow, which landed on the hero of destiny.
"The opponent cannot activate the effect of a monster in response to Ultimate Slayer."
"From the Extra Deck, send a monster to face, select a monster of the same type as Fusion·Synchro·Xyz·Pendulum·↑%￥ on the opponent's field as the target and activate. That monster returns to the owner's deck."
"Did he just say something?"
"No. I don't know."
"I think I heard something unpleasant."
Actually a related card?
Tenjo Hikari also surprisingly reacted.
He had been in this world for quite a while, but this was the first time hearing the term "Link."
In the past, not to mention hearing it, the spirits he knew most didn't even know these words. Until now, he hadn't seen a card effect featuring "Link."
Unexpectedly, Darkness had one!
"This card, I obtained from one of the possible futures of your human world. In that future, you humans abused science and created AI that broke through boundaries, those intelligent AIs turned around to control you humans, using you as computing power for mining and temporary batteries."
This is humanity. Always finding this or that reason to self-destruct."
"Facing death still so stubborn."
Darkness snorted, "Magic Card, Card of Demise, this card allows drawing 5 cards and discarding all hand cards at the fifth preparation phase."
"Dream on—activate Trap Card, Paradox Fusion!"
Judai turned his head.
By golly, it's Paradox Fusion.
Other than the duel with Teacher Daitokuji, he hadn't seen Tenjo Hikari use this card before.
Tenjo Hikari thought very directly.
Who knows if Darkness has a second "Numbered Awakening" in hand, what if he does?
So this card must be there, and he drew several cards for this very reason. Otherwise, if Darkness manages to play 86, they would still be unable to deal with it, letting Darkness persist.
"Paradox Fusion, banish 1 face-up Fusion Monster on your field to activate. At the second end phase after activation, the banished monster returns to the field in attack position."
Activated when a Spell·Trap Card is activated. Its activation is negated and destroyed."
The three-headed Ice Dragon growled, then rammed Dark's body, roaring wildly with excitement.
"...End turn."
Final Countdown: 17.
He still has a chance to stall.
Yuki Judai doesn't have any cards to use, as long as his life can hold on, there's still a chance.
Judai looked at the drawn card: "Normal Summon, Neo-Spacian Dark Panther."
Beautiful, only 1000 attack power!
Can win!
"Open the Set Card—Miracle Fusion!" Judai smiled and activated the Set Card, "Ha, Hikari, just like in the old times. It's this card again."
"After all, it's the most suitable fusion."
The two spoke and laughed, Darkness knew in his heart, everything had ended.
"Fuse the Neo-Spacian from the Graveyard, the New Universe Overlord, the Neo-Spacian on the field, the Elemental Hero and Vision Hero from the Graveyard, five different heroes in fusion!"
Exterminate completely—
In case the final duel attack couldn't completely eliminate everything, Judai chose to unleash all his strength.
"Ultimate Contact Fusion! Elemental Hero Divine Neos!"
To achieve the current situation, he sacrificed too much LP.
However...
17.
Three steps.
If he could take three more steps, he would win!
Three turns... before himself, stood Tenjo Hikari and Yuki Judai, and seemingly always stood a "self."
Paradox...
How could Darkness, born from humanity's extinction, destroy humanity before birth?
Elemental Hero Divine Neos, LV 12, Light Attribute, Warrior-Type, Attack Power 3000.
"Anything you want to say?"
"I'm not the first, nor will I be the last. You humans are forever on the path to self-destruction, and now you cannot perceive it, but that red light has already begun inclining."
No reconciliation, no praise, no sentiment.
Until the very end, he had no possibility of resolving hatred with humans.
"Battle, Divine Neos direct attack!"
"Legendary Strike!!"
The giant god spread his golden wings, the world transitioning and the golden giant aimed at the doomsday calamity, swung his fist.
The fist landed on the Archfiend's ram head.
Above the earth, dark clouds dispersed, and the Mr. T standing around also turned into black powder under the giant god's attack, drifting away with the wind, disappearing.
A child woke up, opened the window, only feeling golden sands falling on the sea surface, quite beautiful.
Kaiba Seto opened the window, extended his hand to catch a few golden specks.
"Human evolution? Interesting..."
At that moment, countless humans received a brand new blessing.
And the ones receiving the most blessings were naturally those in the duel.
Judai received slightly less, his whole body being enveloped in a halo, while Tenjo Hikari, seemed entirely enveloped in golden light, transformed into a golden sphere!
No matter how unwilling Darkness was.
His death would lead humanity into a new era!
The ultimate human duel, took: 17 turns!
