Stormbreaker's holographic arena hovered over the icy streets of Cardalis, shimmering with magical energy. Citizens crowded the viewing platforms, holographic monsters leaping from decks, banners fluttering: "DUEL OF THE CENTURY!"
Kael's eyes glinted as he stepped forward, partially shifting into Demidrake form. "I am Kael Stormheart! Lightning incarnate, thief of Dajin power, and soon… master of God Cards! Frostshade and Glacien, prepare yourselves!"
Frostshade stepped forward, aura sparkling with icy malice. "You may have survived fire, Storm Dragon… but ice is merciless. Watch as your hopes shatter beneath the Ice Leviathan!" Her partner, Glacien, sneered, summoning a frost phoenix. "And I will freeze every dream you have!"
Kael smirked. "Then we shall melt and strike with lightning."
Necroptor hovered beside Kael, runes blazing, skeletal arms flailing. "MY LORD! EMPRESS! THIS IS OUR MOMENT! SEAGULL LEGION, UNLEASH COSMIC CHAOS!" Hundreds of glowing seagulls swirled in the arena, distracting the enemies with absurdly timed "attacks," pooping glowing energy that shattered frost constructs in the most ridiculous fashion.
Ylva adjusted her gloves, frost crackling. "I'll focus on crowd control. Ice Maze Formation—trap their monsters and leave them vulnerable." She summoned a massive frozen labyrinth that split Glacien's frost phoenix into dozens of weaker clones.
Fjorn darted through the air, coordinating strikes. "I'll freeze openings! Master, aim here!" His frost-tipped claws struck weak points, letting Kael's storm-phoenix hybrid strike with precision.
The villains weren't silent. Frostshade laughed, aura freezing the arena floor. "You think you can control ice and chaos? Observe my Frozen Cataclysm, strike true, or fall into despair!"
Glacien added theatrically: "And I shall call forth Aurora Wyrm, your doom painted in glittering frost!" Their attacks collided in spectacular fashion, shattering ice, summoning blizzards, and creating holographic auroras that dazzled the crowd.
Kael's grin widened. "Perfect. Now let's show them the Storm Dragon's combo!" He merged Thunder Dragon + Fire Phoenix, creating a swirling storm of lightning and fire that tore through the arena. Necroptor's seagulls joined, swirling with absurd timing, creating gaps in enemy strategy that only Kael could exploit.
Ylva's frost labyrinth froze Glacien's phoenix clones midair, and Fjorn guided Kael's attacks with pinpoint precision. "STORM PHOENIX ASCEND! ICE SHATTER STRIKE!" Lightning and fire crashed into frozen monsters, breaking Frostshade's defenses.
The villains staggered, aura flickering. "Impossible… coordinated… chaos…?" Frostshade whispered. Glacien fell to one knee, aura fading. Kael smirked, retracting Demidrake wings slightly. "Dare challenge the Demon Lord… and fail spectacularly."
Necroptor leapt to catch the Ice Leviathan God Card drifting toward them. "BEHOLD! POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE UNDYING CONQUEROR!"
But the fun wasn't over. From the shattered clones, smaller God Cards scattered—Fjorn caught one with his claws, Ylva summoned one into her frost constructs, and Loki sparkled, snatching a tiny chaotic card midair. Each crew member now possessed a God Card, their powers enhanced:
Kael Stormheart – Thunder Dragon + Fire Phoenix
Ylva Frostveil – Ice Leviathan
Fjorn – Frost Drake God Card (enhanced flight and elemental control)
Necroptor – Seagull Legion God Card (chaotic amplification, absurd boosts)
Loki – Probability God Card (manipulate luck, outcomes, and small chaos)
Kael laughed as the arena erupted in cheers. "All right… now we each have a card. Chaos, ice, fire, luck… perfect. Let's see what this city really has to offer."
