"I want… to become the strongest…"
Pierced by Miles' words, Kaima—having broken free from the shackles of the Seth family and her fated chains—chose with her own will the path forward.
"If you want to become the strongest, you can't limit yourself to just one Summon method!"
"—Spell Card, activate! Monster Reborn!!"
Placing everything on a Summon beyond the limits of Blue-Eyes itself, Miles chose a monster from the Graveyard to revive.
"Return to my field—Blue-Eyes White Dragon!!"
The Blue-Eyes that Kaima had tributed for the Ritual Spell [Chaos Form] now soared back, revived on her field.
On the field now: Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon—three Blue-Eyes gathered.
A scene of overwhelming might, greater than anything Kaima had faced before. Yet, in this duel where Livorden's fate hung in the balance against the Supreme General of the Varian Empire—even this power was not enough.
"—Spell Card, activate! Tri-Wight!!"
[Target 3 Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters in your Graveyard; Special Summon them.]
Miles continued, filling his field with revived monsters.
"I Special Summon 3 Mokey Mokey from the Graveyard!"
-?
--?
-_-!
Compared to Kaima's three Blue-Eyes, Miles' trio of Mokey Mokey looked laughable. Yet what set Miles apart was his flexibility—his mastery of multiple Summon methods.
"Kaima, watch closely! With three Level 1 monsters, I overlay! The three Mokey Mokey—stack!"
-! --! -_-!
The three angel-winged tofu blocks stacked and transformed, shining into a beam that pierced the skies.
"Remember this light, Kaima! Different from Fusion, this is Xyz Summon! To be the strongest Duelist, you must embrace it as part of your strength! Xyz Summon, Rank 1—Baby Tiragon!!"
[Baby Tiragon│EARTH│Dragon│Xyz│ATK: 900 DEF: 900]
[3 Level 1 monsters]
This was the same monster once used by Dark Aisha beneath Fusion Academy during the Sealed Battle.
Miles summoned [Baby Tiragon] in Defense Position—not for power, but as a lesson. A final Xyz "teaching."
Dark Aisha: "My monsters aren't for your demonstrations, Miles!"
"This isn't just a demonstration—it's the passing of will."
In the Spirit Continent, as long as a Duelist imagines the existence of a card, burning their soul to the limit, the Duel Spirit will answer that call.
"Kaima, show them! Students of Fusion Academy are strong with Xyz too—stronger than theirs!"
To shatter the enemy's faith—not by beating them with their style, but by surpassing them with your own.
"Blue-Eyes… a higher dimension of Summoning…"
Kaima had been silent, but she hadn't missed a word or action. Least of all the light born from Mokey Mokey's Xyz Summon.
That beam stretched endlessly into the sky, as though its destination was the very end of the heavens.
And there, Kaima glimpsed… a card.
Not yet clear, but its shadow hovered in her mind.
"Blue-Eyes!"
Her memory pulled back…to before her first Blue-Eyes Summon, when she was just a first-year at Fusion Academy.
Beneath a starry sky, she had made a promise to a girl she had just met.
"I'll become the strongest Duelist… not just of Fusion Academy, but of the Spirit Continent!"
"Heehee, I believe in you, Seth. You'll definitely do it."
The girl's beauty lay not just in her sweet smile… but in her eyes. Those azure eyes left the deepest mark on Kaima's heart.
She never even learned her name. Yet those eyes, reflecting starlight, stayed with her.
"When you become the strongest, promise you'll come find me."
That night sky filled with stars, reflected in the girl's eyes… it was dazzling, like a galaxy itself.
And now—
"Galaxy-Eyes!!"
In that instant, Kaima's burning soul desire was answered.
"I've seen it! At the end of the sky… the galaxy! The higher dimension of Blue-Eyes!!"
"You did it, Kaima!"
Miles knew the card was born.
"Watch closely, Aisha Carlos! This is the Xyz evolution of Blue-Eyes! Not betrayal—but the strength to protect this land—the galaxy reflected in my Blue-Eyes!"
Kaima swept her arm over her three dragons.
"Three Level 8 monsters—Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon! Overlay!!"
"What?! Three Level 8 monsters… Xyz Summon?!"
Even Cameron Slint was shocked. First, Aisha Carlos used Mokey Mokey for Xyz, and now Duke Seth's daughter was using three Blue-Eyes!
The three dragons roared as one, their wings blotting out the sun. Darkness fell—revealing the brilliance of a galaxy.
Its light reached even through the mist barrier to the Duelists fighting in the royal capital.
"This light, sister! Is this your battle?!"
Kevin trembled, his blood resonating.
Miles shouted, "Show them our light, Kaima!!"
Kaima drew forth the card with all her soul.
"Roaring galaxy, become a tidal wave of light! Descend, my new dragon soul! Rank 8—Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!!"
[Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon] LIGHT│Dragon│Xyz│4500 ATK / 3000 DEF
[3 Level 8 monsters]
Like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, it had three heads and power to match. Its white body glowed crimson, its sky-blue eyes shimmered with galactic stardust.
Kaima's will forged it into existence: a dragon designed to strike down the Varian Empire's Xyz monsters.
[Once per turn: You can detach 1 material from this card; detach all materials from all opponent's monsters. This card gains 500 ATK for each. Also, this card can attack up to the number of detached materials this Battle Phase.]
A pure anti-Xyz effect—removing all their materials, growing stronger with each.
Even Juggernaut Liebe's protection meant nothing against this.
Cameron protested, "Even so! It only has one material to remove! That's just +500 ATK—still less than my 6000 Defense!"
Miles grinned. "Don't forget me, old man! It's still my turn!"
His final card gleamed.
"Spell Card, activate—Shien's Spy!!"
[Shien's Spy – Spell: Target 1 monster you control; give control of it to your opponent until the End Phase.]
He transferred Baby Tiragon, with its three Mokey Mokey materials, to Cameron's field.
"Kaima, take it! Use its Xyz materials too!"
Kaima roared, "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's effect—purge them all in galactic light!!"
Four materials detached. +2000 ATK. Four attacks granted.
[Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, ATK: 4500 → 6500]
Now stronger than Juggernaut Liebe's Defense.
"This isn't my victory alone—it's ours, Aisha Carlos!"
The galactic light bathed the field as Kaima looked at the girl beside her.
"Because you're here—I made it this far. Let's finish this together!"
"Can't be helped, Kaima. Then—"
Kaima & Miles shouted in unison:
"—Neo Galaxy Photon Stream of Destruction!!"
The triple-headed dragon unleashed four beams of annihilation, obliterating the Empire's fortress.
[Juggernaut Liebe] destroyed.
[Cameron Slint, LP: 9400 → 8900]
Miles yelled, "Second shot—Neo Galaxy Photon Stream!!"
[Baby Tiragon] destroyed.
Kaima roared, "Third shot—Direct attack!!"
[Cameron Slint, LP: 8900 → 2400]
Miles said excitedly, "Your 10,000 LP is like a candle in the wind!"
Kaima said, "Final strike! For Livorden! For victory!!"
Kaima & Miles declared the final command simultaneously:
"Neo Galaxy Photon Stream—fourth shot!!!!"
[Cameron Slint, LP: 2400 → 0]
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!"
The fourfold Photon Stream annihilated Cameron's nearly ten-thousand LP in a single turn, piercing through the Varian Empire's iron wall… and still overflowing with 4000 excess damage.
