Watching his invulnerable "Fool" being swallowed whole by that brainless ugly sea turtle monster again, Saiou almost felt like he was going to split apart.
The worst part is these self-proclaimed righteous heroes don't see anything wrong with using Kaiju's power to settle the field, even repeatedly colluding with evil forces.
"Activate 'Elemental Hero Grand Neos' effect! Once per turn, return one monster on the opponent's field to the owner's hand!" Judai shouted, "I return 'Sea Turtle Kaiju - Gameciel' back to its owner—my own hand!
Nebula Hole!"
Grand Neos raised his arm, releasing Neos power, creating a pitch-black wormhole in Saiou's field area. The full-belly Sea Turtle Kaiju glanced at this hole as if seeing the road home, wobbling his heavy body and drilled right in.
With a swish, the Sea Turtle Kaiju turned back into a card and returned to Judai's hand.
Saiou: "..."
The scene felt quite peculiar, as if this big turtle arrogantly came over and ate his monster, then walked off satisfied.
Saiou even imagined this silly turtle waving happily and saying, "Thanks for the treat, I'll be back next turn."
Fortunately, his Light of Destruction wouldn't count as a normal human, otherwise, this rotten turtle would definitely anger him into a cerebral hemorrhage...
What's even funnier, he now even suspects this rotten turtle might have been sent out by himself...
But fate was clearly indicating at the time! Give "Sea Turtle Kaiju" to that down-and-out duelist called DD, to let him cause disaster with Kaiju's power, everything was followed according to fate's guidance!
How could it end up with himself getting played by this Sea Turtle Kaiju?
Could it be, actually from that time on, old fate was just playing me?
"Then battle," Judai said, "Elemental Hero Brave Neos, attack 'Arcana Force XXI - The World'!"
Brave Neos launched forward, throwing a hand chop with a silver-white track fiercely onto The World's steel-tough body!
"Open the set card! Trap Card 'Hierophant's Staff'!" Saiou shouted, "During this turn, the cards on my field cannot be destroyed!"
Although just now really wanted to use this "Hierophant" to protect Fool, unfortunately eaten by the turtle doesn't count as destroyed, so invincible Hierophant was powerless...
[Saiou, LP 1500 →LP 1400]
"And, because there's one less Magic/Trap Card on the field, 'Elemental Hero Flare Neos' attack power must also decrease!" Saiou shouted.
[Elemental Hero Flare Neos, ATK 4200 →ATK 3800]
"Flare Neos, attack 'Arcana Force XXI - The World'!"
Flare Neos crossed his hands, boundless fire energy gathered from all directions into his palms, forming a cohesive flame sphere. The fireball expanded rapidly, shooting with the swing of his arms!
Burn To Ash!
The World was hit again, the high-temperature flames seemingly about to melt that steel body, but it ultimately stubbornly withstood. The shockwave swept across Saiou.
[Saiou, LP 1400 →LP 700]
"My turn ends.
End Phase, because 'New Space' exists on the field, Neos monsters don't need to return to the deck."
Judai clenched his fist.
"Good, just a little more! Maintain this momentum..."
"Tch, don't be too proud, this Life Points are more than enough to defeat you!"
Saiou raised his voice.
"My turn, draw!" He glanced at his hand cards and flashed a dangerous smile.
"Hah, representing 'Cosmic Darkness' New Space hero, be exterminated under the endless brilliance!" Saiou yelled, "Field Magic 'Light Barrier'!"
The colorful aurora New Space shattered instantly, squeezed into fragments as the new field alternated. Intense light flooded the space, gigantic barrier projected down, too bright to look at directly.
"'Light Barrier' effect on the field! In Light Barrier's field, all monster effects except Arcana Force are negated!" Saiou clenched his fist tightly, "Disappear your effects, Neos heroes!"
[Elemental Hero Brave Neos, ATK 3200 →ATK 2500]
[Elemental Hero Flare Neos, ATK 3800 →ATK 2500]
[Elemental Hero Grand Neos, ATK 2000 →ATK 2500]
"Ah!" Judai said, "The power of Neos heroes has completely disappeared..."
"Tch, a bunch of useless guys." Yubel didn't miss the chance to make a sarcastic remark even in a crisis.
Although at this kind of moment, even if she went personally, would probably be doomed like fate with no effect anyway. And as a ten-star monster her ATK is only 0, without effect is actually far less useful than Neos heroes...
"Set two cards onto the field." Saiou swiftly drew three cards from his hand, "Next, activate Magic Card 'The Sky Lord'! Send set 'The Material Lord' and 'Spiritual Path' on the field to the grave!"
Three cards, three beams shot up, piercing the sky.
"Three beams serve as offerings, ultimate light, delegate of fate itself, Arcana God—
——Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler, summon!!!
The beams disappeared into the sky, enormous entity riding those combined beams crashed down! It was a gigantic pitch-black dragon, with a steel neck and two tusked dragon heads!
[Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler, ATK 4000]
"Field Magic 'Light Barrier's effect! While Light Barrier is on the field, Arcana Force monsters when summoned, can choose upright or reverse effect according to player's preference!
Of course, I choose upright!"
This time the card above Arcana Force didn't spin at all, and directly stopped upright.
"Even the coin tossing step is skipped huh?" Judai said.
"Not done yet," Saiou's expression twisted, "Magic Card 'Card from Heaven', both sides draw cards from deck until hand cards fill to six.
Then I Normal Summon 'Arcana Force III - The Empress' from my hand!"
[Arcana Force III - The Empress, ATK 1300]
"Equip Magic 'Reverse Reborn'!" Saiou said, "Special Summon 'Arcana Force' monster from grave, equip this card to that monster!
Equipped monster receives reverse effect." (Anime Card)
A card ejects from Saiou's Duel Disc grave area.
"I revive 'Arcana Force I - The Magician'!"
[Arcana Force I - The Magician, ATK 1100]
Saiou softly chuckled.
"Now, preparation for ultimate Arcana Force's birth is complete."
Judai: "?"
Ultimate Arcana Force?
This Arcana God, looking like a total BOSS, Light Ruler wasn't the ultimate ace?
"I send 'Arcana Force XXI - The World', 'Arcana Force I - The Magician', and 'Arcana Force III - The Empress' on the field to the grave!
From light that destroys everything, born the monster, ruler of all darkness——
——Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler, summon!!!
