Saio Mizuchi stared intently, not blinking as she watched the situation in the field, almost unable to believe the fact.
Really... won?
It indeed felt a bit unreal to her.
In the past, she faintly sensed that something extremely powerful was possessing her brother's body, and today, after witnessing the kind of power that could manipulate fate at will, she was once terrified.
But such an existence, such a powerful entity, now truly seemed to be defeated...
No, the truly terrifying one might instead be Yugen facing them.
Using designated tactics to forcibly summon the Fool from the opponent's Card Deck, such out-of-the-box tactics were already challenging Mizuchi's imagination.
What's more surprising is that this person turned the effects of the Fool around to gain the "World's" upright position ability, even realizing the "World Lock" infinite round jump in a duel against Takuma Saiou...
Although she harbors no goodwill towards the evil power that seized her brother's body, much less any feelings of sympathy. But she must admit, trying to put herself in the opponent's shoes, she feels that if it were herself, she might indeed go mad too.
These are all minor issues. Honestly, although she resents the Light of Destruction, she has to admire its strength. Even when faced with such a difficult situation, facing the infinite cycle of the World, somehow, they managed to survive, proving quite impressive in dueling capabilities.
But what does it matter how powerful they are? Eventually, there's still the invincible Chaos Phantom Demon waiting for them.
To be honest, Mizuchi was also shocked when she saw this thing.
The name of the Three Phantom Demons is well known, albeit not as famous as the Phantom God, but they are legends in their own right. Yet like the Phantom God, these legendary Divine Level monsters are often mere background to most duelists, with few having witnessed them firsthand.
However, in everyone's imagination, these Divine Level monsters should possess extremely high Attack Power, obliterating all weaklings with absolute strength, much like things like the president's All-Resist True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon or Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, all typical representations of sheer and robust force.
Yet, when the Chaos Phantom Demon appeared, looking extremely fierce and menacing, strangely, it actually had a 0 attack panel. Its artistic depiction alone already deviated from everyone's envisioned Divine monster.
What was even more unexpected was its exceptionally unconventional ability.
As a renowned 12-star Divine Level Phantom Demon, its hidden ability turned out to be infiltrating the opponent's side for a backstab; can you believe it?
What kind of bizarre effect is this?
But you have to admit, infiltrating in such a manner is disgraceful yet effective. At least Saio's Fool truly seemed like the ultimate shield to Mizuchi; she realized her entire Card Deck seemed incapable of dealing with that Fool.
Yet the Chaos Phantom Demon accomplished it effortlessly, as easily as banishing a small fry...
Mizuchi looked at Yugen with a complicated expression.
It seems the Chaos Phantom Demon really is quite fitting for this Duel King's monster. A good horse has met a wise rider...
However, while the Phantom Demon has met its benefactor, the opponent is left with a tragedy. Just look at the evil persona of Saio, who already displayed exaggerated facial art during the duel, and now his expression is even more exaggerated, looking like he's about to go berserk.
Indeed, cherish life and stay away from card games. Look at Takuma Saiou; he was once a dashing young man before engaging with the cards, and now he's become this abstract figure.
"You!"
Saio angrily shouted.
"This is impossible! Destiny is on my side; my destiny is absolute! This world should be full of light, everything should turn into pure white! How... Why...!?"
Perhaps for the first time since arriving on Earth, he began to feel despair.
The light was snuffed out. The things he once steadfastly believed in, the radiant future he saw with his abilities, were violently shattered to pieces in an instant.
At this moment, staring directly at this person, he felt this individual distinctly had human features, yet seemed abstractly transformed into some entity far mightier than himself, releasing boundless darkness from his body, flowing endlessly like mighty rivers, devouring everything in the world, turning everything as black as his own being.
This is also the first time since coming to Earth that the Light of Destruction felt the future was so dark.
But why was this?
He had divined countless times, viewed the future countless times. Regardless of how he divined, the result always showed his victory.
His path of light was unimpeded; people such as Yuki Judai, Revolver, Seto Kaiba, Duel King, would not be a problem.
But why was this guy able to surpass his prophecy?
And what about those past instances of prophecy errors, battles like with Yuki Judai, Marufuji Ryo, Revolver, every time rewriting the fate he prophesied, could it be all influenced by this individual?
He suddenly thought of a possibility, couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at Yugen.
"You... could it be... Dark Fluctuation!?"
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
The dark source opposing the Light of Destruction faction in the cosmos, Dark Fluctuation.
This individual, so dark from body to duel, couldn't he precisely be that Dark Fluctuation?
"Dark Fluctuation? Me?"
Yugen paused. Isn't that referring to Ultraman?
Then he couldn't help but laughed out loud.
"If you say so, then sure."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and removed Saio's Duel Disc.
"Your Secret Ceremony Power is quite interesting; it's a Card Deck materialized by your light's power, right? A unique Secret Ceremony Power in the world, quite nice."
Yugen said as he took out the Card Deck and pocketed it.
Though he didn't finish speaking, the second half of the sentence unquestionably conveyed, quite nice, but now it's mine.
Saio spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"You... you you... roar ahhhh!!!"
Seemingly unable to bear it, that power erupted directly from his body. A powerful light, filled with rage and fury, like some intangible beast, roared, charging straight at Yugen.
That was the Light of Destruction's essence inside Saio.
Having lost the duel, now it was at its end, yet still possessed terrifying power. Mizuchi, seeing it burst forth, instinctively took two steps back, shocked by the momentum and power, mentally noting this was the terrifying existence possessing her brother's body.
Yet facing this terrifying beast of light, Yugen remained expressionless.
Just as the duel ended, the Chaos Phantom Demon, whose image hadn't retreated yet, made a casual slap.
Splat.
No tricks, no dazzling skills, just a casual, simple slap like swatting a mosquito, yet it crushed the Light of Destruction under its palm as if Mount Tai was pressing down.
The Light of Destruction, deceased.
