"That's it?"
A block of tofu, not even enough to wedge between the Wicked God's teeth, now stood brazenly before it.
"I spoke of mortal flesh, but isn't this far too plain, Aisha Carlos? To pit such a meager force against a god? When the opponent's card count rises, [The Wicked Eraser] gains 1000 Attack!"
[The Wicked Eraser, ATK: 5000 → 6000]
At 6000 Attack once again, the wicked god's long form rose straight, its horrific head high beneath the stars. Even townsfolk and Academy students far off noticed the disturbance at the abandoned church on the outskirts.
"What is that—some kind of monster?"
Students peered into the distance. One glimpse into the abyss made their very souls tremble with fear.
"How can such a monster exist?"
"Is that really of this world?"
Bathed in starlight, people far away could not look directly at the abyss, but even from the writhing silhouette of that massive deity, they felt a terror beyond gods—or from beyond the world itself.
"Waaah!" Children in the town, overwhelmed by dread, burst into tears.
"That's… the wicked god of the Old Dominators' faith?" Lishia muttered. After returning Nova to the dorm, she too saw the colossal shadow, golden eyes trembling.
Nova asked timidly, "Lishia, what's wrong?"
She dared not look out the window, but her strange behavior was obvious.
"This won't do. The Old Ones have summoned a god. There's no time—I must go!"
"Where are you going?"
"In the name of Doctrine, to suppress the Abyss. I must!"
Ignoring Nova's questions, Lishia rambled faster and faster—until Nova whispered in doubt, "Are you… really Lishia?"
Meanwhile—
"Damn it, I'm so hungry I can't move. Did I skip meals today?"
No… she'd eaten eighteen pancakes that morning and noon combined.
[The Wicked Eraser, ATK: 6000]
[Mokey Mokey, ATK: 300]
Ace versus tofu. The roaring god flaunted its might; even Arcana Knight Joker could not match such power.
Arnold gaped. "Mokey Mokey… is that really the monster that can topple a god?"
Granted, Arnold himself had been flattened by Mokey Mokey once. However, imagining such a creature defeating this god was beyond him.
"I activate the Spell Card [Triangle Power]!"
Miles slammed down his last card. Triangular light fell upon Mokey Mokey's blocky head.
[All Level 1 Normal Monsters you control gain 2000 ATK/DEF until the End Phase. During the End Phase, destroy them.]
He had only one such monster, and only one card left. But he would gamble everything: a mortal duelist, a mortal monster, to slay a god head-on.
[Mokey Mokey, ATK: 300 → 2300]
Infused with Triangle Power, Mokey Mokey's strength soared by 2000.
"Now's the time, Aisha—Battle!"
"Eh? Why call my name now?!"
Wings fluttering furiously, Mokey Mokey leapt skyward toward the wicked god.
"You're serious?!" Yog-Tos realized in shock. This wasn't bravado—Miles was truly challenging his god with a tofu block.
"Are you insane, Miles?!" Astar cried out.
"Counterattack, [The Wicked Eraser]—Soul Annihilation!"
Yog-Tos bellowed; the god's head rose high, soul-flames surging toward the tiny square under the stars.
From afar, onlookers saw only the god hurling dread skyward. Perhaps the sharpest eyes glimpsed a minuscule block. The next moment would overturn all reason.
"This is how weaklings fight—Trap Card, [Armory Call], activate!"
[Add 1 Equip Spell from your Deck to your hand. Then, if possible, equip it to a monster you control.]
Miles's last Set flipped. From a dimensional rift, he yanked an Equip.
"I equip [Amulet of Ambition] to Mokey Mokey!"
The Trap went to the Graveyard, replaced by the Equip; Miles's field still held six cards. The god remained at 6000 Attack.
But Mokey Mokey was different.
"Mokey Mokey is Level 1. The Eraser is Level 10. The difference is 9—Amulet of Ambition gives +500 ATK per level. That's +4500! This is Mokey Mokey's true power!"
Once it had smashed Dystopia, once dazed Ultimate Dragon—yet never had Mokey Mokey struck so high.
Triangle Power + Amulet of Ambition.
"Triangle Ambition—press down, Mokey Mokey!"
[Mokey Mokey, ATK: 2300 → 6800]
Under the stars, the block swelled colossal, dwarfing even the god.
"What is that?!"
"That's a monster too?!"
Residents and students were shaken harder than by the god's rise. They saw only a gigantic square blotting the night, crashing down upon dread itself.
Children silenced their cries, eyes wide at the sight.
"—Super Tofu Impact!!"
The colossal block slammed down; the earth quaked as the wicked god was crushed.
[Yog-Tos, LP: 5800 → 5000]
Astar yelled, holding his head tight:
"The god… crushed by tofu?! Am I mad… or is the world?!"
Mokey Mokey's god-slaying record +1.
