"Is it over? Then it's my turn again."
The Light of Destruction calmly revealed their hand.
"Magic Card 'Roll of Fate', roll a die, draw cards from the top of the deck according to the number rolled, then banish the same number of cards from the top of the deck."
The image of the die appeared in mid-air.
"Ah, another die? Could it be another roll of all 6s?"
Apparently, the last duel with the Light of Destruction—namely the boss battle with Saiou Takuma—left a deep impression on the young mind of Judai.
But Judai quickly clenched his fist: "But this time I have Youyu-sensei with me! If we combine our luck..."
Yubel: "..."
Youyu: "..."
The die stopped rolling.
Another big "6".
"Eh? Even our combined luck can't resist fate?" Judai was surprised.
Youyu thought to himself, if I weren't with you, maybe he wouldn't have rolled a 6...
"Of course, because the fate of this planet and this universe has long been decided. The supreme light will purify everything, showing us the future of the universe itself."
The Light of Destruction drew cards calmly.
"According to this effect, I draw cards from the deck!"
After replenishing his hand, his gaze quickly swept over the two big monsters remaining on Youyu and Judai's field.
"Nebula Neos, the new power our old adversary gained on this planet." He said, "Though I would like to take him down first, it seems the Egyptian God protecting this planet is indeed more troublesome."
The Light of Destruction's eyes shot out sharp malice once again.
"Then let's start from here." He revealed another card from his hand, "The effect of 'Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju' in my hand!
Use your 'Obelisk the Tormentor' on the field as a tribute, special summon Kumongous in attack mode!"
It's almost an absolute resolution method, even the Egyptian God couldn't resist. Obelisk roared, but its massive body helplessly dissolved into countless blue light dots, replaced by the gigantic spider-like Kaiju.
[Kumongous, the Sticky String Kaiju, ATK 2400]
Seeing Obelisk resolved in this way was indeed dispiriting, but neither Judai nor Youyu found it surprising.
Sky Dragon in the Graveyard: Yo, brother, you've come too?
Obelisk (furious and powerless): Aaah, I'm going to kill that damn spider...
"Next is the effect of the Continuous Trap 'Remove Brainwashing'." The Light of Destruction said blandly, "All monsters controlled by both sides return control to the original owner.
Come back, Kumongous."
"Kaijus, can even gods be easily defeated by such things?" Mitsuzawa felt incredulous, "How could there exist monsters with such terrifying power in the world..."
This was also what countless spectators watching this duel with bated breath were thinking.
This Duelist from the beyond, in terms of his monsters, deck, or personal skill, was completely beyond their imagination!
Many Professional Duelists, who were once full of confidence, had to accept a bitter truth at this moment. When they discovered that alien invasions were also dependent on dueling, they thought that even against alien experts, there was nothing to fear in this professional field. But now they've realized they were wrong.
Even through dueling, the intruder's strength was not in the same league as theirs at all!
Now all they could do was place their hopes entirely on the two who were fighting.
"The effect of 'Kozmo Scaredy Lion'." The Light of Destruction continued, "Once per turn, pay 500 Life Points to return up to three 'Kozmo' monsters from the banished zone to the graveyard."
[The Light of Destruction, LP 2500 → LP 2000]
He revealed three 'Kozmo' cards from the banished zone again, saying: "I'll return three 'Kozmo' cards to the graveyard. And after that, I can inflict 500 damage to the opponent."
A ball of light shot out, splitting into two and knocking back Youyu and Judai half a step.
[Youyu x Judai, LP 2300 → LP 1800]
"Then banish 'Kozmo Scaredy Lion' on the field, activate its effect." The Light of Destruction said, "When it's banished from play, you can special summon a level three or above 'Kozmo' monster from your hand.
I will special summon this card—
—Super Dimensional Mech, Kozmo Dark Eclipser!!!"
A black swirl opened, and a transparent vortex unfolded, lifting the massive battleship with its blade-like thickness and spewing flames from below!
[Kozmo Dark Eclipser, ATK 3000]
Eclipser Number Two!
"Youyu, and Yuki Judai, as humans, you have indeed made me remember you." The Light of Destruction paused its operation and said, "You have earned an honor for yourselves, and you will witness the fleet's true fortress, a trump card that no one has ever seen before.
Feel honored, because even among ants submerged in the torrent of destiny, you are the most exceptional." He said to this point, and the Light of Destruction's entire body suddenly surged with white light, and the mighty energy swept across like a tidal wave, with a pillar of light piercing through the sky and soaring into the massive wormhole high in the sky.
As if summoning something unimaginably terrifying from the other side of the wormhole!
"The effect of 'Kozmo Dark Planet' in my hand activates!
This card cannot be normally summoned; it can only be special summoned by banishing 'Kozmo' monsters whose combined levels equal ten or more from play!
I will banish the level ten 'Kozmo Dark Planet' from my hand!
The ultimate weapon of the Galaxy, Planet Fortress—
—Kozmo Dark Planet, summon!!!"
At the first moment that card was placed onto the Duel Disc, no one even realized where the monster he summoned was.
The crowd only saw a beam of white light shoot skyward from the Duel Disc, launching beyond the firmament, followed by a brief and suffocating silence.
Until the sky echoed with a low rumbling noise.
A colossal entity appeared in the sky, breaking through the clouds, and descended oppressively. It exuded an eerie green glow and was shaped like a supermassive sphere that revealed only the tip of the iceberg, surrounded by some kind of metallic structure.
Anyone who saw that thing would almost instinctively doubt their own eyes.
"That thing... is it also a monster?"
"No matter what, that's too big..."
"It's almost like... like..."
A planet.
Of course, this is only in terms of visual effect. After all, it is still a Duel Monster that is bound by the rules of this duel.
Kozmo Dark Planet, its prototype in the Star Wars series seems quite obvious as well.
That would be the Death Star—the giant war station crafted by the Galactic Empire in the Star Wars series, the size of a satellite!
