"Both sides' highest Attack is 2500 points!"
"Who's gonna win, I wonder!?"
"Hard to say for sure..."
"Shenhe still has five cards in her hand!"
"Who knows what new tricks she might pull off next..."
As everyone watched in anticipation of how the duel would unfold—
Shenhe moved.
"I activate [Exosister Mikailis]'s effect! When this card is Xyz Summoned using an 'Exosister' monster as material, I can target one card on my opponent's field or in their Graveyard—then banish it!"
Her voice was calm yet decisive.
"I choose... [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon] to be banished!"
The pure white lightsaber in [Exosister Mikailis]'s hand flared brightly as it slashed toward [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon] with a fierce wave of sword energy!
The air trembled under the impact, the strike carrying a howling gust of wind.
The blade of light struck [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon] squarely—
And the dragon shattered into radiant fragments, removed from play entirely.
It did not return to the Extra Deck.
"It's not over yet... I activate [Exosister Mikailis]'s other effect! I detach one Xyz Material—[Exosister Elis]! Then I add one 'Exosister' Spell or Trap from my Deck to my hand!"
"I add the Spell Card [Exosister Pax] to my hand."
...
After a clean, flawless sequence, Shenhe directly banished Yun Jin's Pendulum Card—[Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon]!
With [Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon] banished from play, Yun Jin fell from the dragon's back.
Fortunately, as she tumbled down, she managed to grab a card stuck on a tree branch...
"That Xyz Monster's way too strong!"
"It can not only banish an opponent's card but also add a Spell Card from the Deck!?"
"That's broken!!!"
"Now Boss Yun's Pendulum Card effects can't even activate!"
"Once a Pendulum Monster's banished, it's over—there's no coming back."
"And Shenhe's hand is still full!"
"Man... Pendulum Summoning looks amazing, but it's such a card drain."
"You need two cards just to make one move!"
...
Shenhe continued her turn.
"I activate [Exosister Pax]! I pay 800 Life Points! Then I add one 'Exosister' card from my Deck to my hand, except [Exosister Pax]! If the card I add is a Monster, and I control or have in my Graveyard a monster whose name is mentioned on that card, I can Special Summon the monster I added!"
"I add [Exosister Stella]! Since [Exosister Elis] is in my Graveyard, I can Special Summon the [Exosister Stella] I just added!"
Shenhe successfully activated [Exosister Pax]'s effect, immediately Special Summoning [Exosister Stella] onto her field!
"I activate [Exosister Stella]'s effect! I Special Summon [Exosister Irene] from my hand! And I recover 800 Life Points!"
Two more Level 4 [Exosister] monsters appeared on Shenhe's field!
And...
Shenhe hadn't even used her Normal Summon yet.
"I Normal Summon [Exosister Sophia]!"
In an instant, Shenhe's field was completely filled with monsters.
The audience gasped in astonishment.
"Whoa!!!"
"Is Shenhe going for another Xyz Summon!?"
"No way... could this be a one-turn victory!?"
"That's way too fast for a Summon combo!"
