I'm a poker player, not a Yu-Gi-Oh!

[Attribute of alliance transport vehicle: light → water]

"The water attribute monster that is super summoned using the [Left-Hand Shark] and [Right-Hand Shark] on the field as super materials will not be destroyed by battle or effects. I just end the turn like this. P and Skeleton Driver, Except for its own effects.”

Black Manta declared, his tone solemn. At this time, the number of cards in his hand is 0. In the monster area, there are [Alliance Transport Vehicle] in attack position, [N·As·H Knight] and [No.4] in defense position, and there is a Continuous without Uzuki in the backfield. Magic [White Relief].

Among them, [N·As·H Knight] has the effect of pressing two speeds on others, and [No.4] will change the attributes of all monsters on the field to water, and destroy the target once in the main phase of both sides' rounds. Effect. If he sees that the situation is not going well, he will use the effect of [N·As·H Knight] to suppress the alliance transport vehicle in attack position, and use the [No.4] that cannot be destroyed by battle to resist Darkseid's four The devastating attack of the body source gate.

"My turn, draw a card." Darkseid calmly drew a card from the top of the deck. In the last round, he lost Ash and P, so he only had 4 cards in his hand after drawing the card. But Black Manta and ZEXAL have no intention of being careless. They know that Darkseid only needs to activate the field magic [Source Network] to summon the four ancient gods that have existed since the birth of the universe.

"...Are you afraid? My [Source Code]?" Looking at the solemn expressions of the two people opposite him, Darkseid sneered. In their eyes, he inserted a hand card into the magic trap area.

"First of all, we need to solve those annoying effects. Activate the magic card, [Pluto Barrier Wave]. Monster effects cannot be activated in response to the activation of this card. The effects of all face-up monsters on the opponent's field will be activated until the turn. It is invalid at the end. After this card is activated, all damage taken by the opponent becomes 0 until the end of the turn."

With Black Manta's unreadable expression, blue light waves enveloped the entire field, suppressing all the monsters on his field. Electric sparks bloomed all over the Alliance transport vehicle, and the Ark Knights and jellyfish seemed to have come from the sea to land, turning into dried salted fish.

[Alliance transport vehicle attributes: water → light]

Their effects are invalid until the end of the round! Even the combat and damage resistance given to the jellyfish by the left-handed and right-handed sharks are all ineffective! Fortunately, the damage they received this round will be reduced to 0, so at least they can still survive.

"This way, the troublesome effect will be gone."

Darkseid chuckled lightly and showed a card in his hand: "The effect of [Thunderbird of the Unrealm] in the hand card is activated. Show the card in your hand to the opponent to activate it. From all the cards in your hand The opponent randomly selects one card, and I discard that card. "

Darkseid flipped over the Thunderbird he had shown, shuffled the order of the four cards in his hand, and signaled Black Manta and ZEXAL to choose. An uneasy atmosphere began to brew. They seemed to be deep in a dark forest, with four roads ahead for them to move forward.

Three of them all lead in the direction of the thunder bird that soared in the sky and penetrated the atmosphere before. They definitely represent danger. There is only one way - only one way for them to escape! Can... be selected?

"Mysterious..." Black Manta said in a deep voice. He turned his head in ZEXAL's direction, indicating that it was his choice - Yuma's shit luck was always good!

"Then, discard the first one on the left." ZEXAL said in a deep voice. This was a choice between Yuma's beastly instincts and the intuition of an astral duelist. So, that card is——

"...Hmph, what a shame." Darkseid raised the corner of his mouth in a cold arc and showed the card. On it, a green rabbit with antlers is jumping around to avoid being caught by humans.

"The discarded hand card is [Jackalope of the Unrealm]. The Thunderbird's effect follows, and if the discarded card is someone other than itself, special summon 1 [Thunderbird of the Unrealm] from the hand. Draw 1 card yourself."

"Come on, Thunderbird!"

Roaring tears flashed, and azure arcs of lightning penetrated the air and fell on the earth, leaving large scorched black marks. Amidst the clear chirping sound that shook the sky, a huge thunderbird with gorgeous feathers, revered as a god, descended from the sky, stared at the two people opposite with its sharp eyes, and imposed divine punishment on the blasphemers.

[Thunderbird of the Unbounded Realm] [Effect]

[Race: Birds and Beasts] [Lv8] [Attribute: Dark]

[ATK: 2800] [DEF: 2400]

"Due to the effect of [Thunderbird], I draw 1 card. Then, the effect of the discarded [Jackalope of the Unrealm] is activated. This card can only be activated when it is discarded from your hand. Add your own card with the same name from the deck 1 other [Unrealm] monster is Special Summoned in Defense Position. Come on, [Bigfoot of the Unrealm]."

There was a crash of falling trees and the roar of the rough Titan. The Bigfoot, whose muscles were exploding like an explosion, walked out of the depths of the jungle and stood beside the Thunderbird. It beat its chest hard with its fists the size of a basketball court, and let out a terrifying roar at the intruder who did not know whether to live or die.

"Ooooooooooooooooo!!!"

[Bigfoot in the Unbounded Realm] [Effect]

[Race: Beast] [Lv8] [Attribute: Dark]

[ATK: 3000] [DEF: 0]

"There are two Level 8 monsters... coming, Black Manta!" ZEXAL said solemnly.

"No, it's not here yet. Enter the battle stage, Thunderbird, attack [N·As·H Knight]." Darkseid waved his hand, Thunderbird flapped its wings, and struck through the Ark Knight with bright thunder and lightning.

"Gu..." Black Manta used his cloak to shield himself in front of him, dispelling the wind pressure that came towards his face. He was not hurt in any way, but his face was still ugly. His bond, his consciousness, the will he inherited... cannot touch Darkseid at all!

"Is this the level? Don't let me down." Darkseid said lightly, then waved his hand, "Stack the Level 8 Thunderbirds and Bigfoot. Use 2 monsters to build a super network and super summon ”

"Before, I was eager for the Source Code, and it would be a pity not to let the Ascendant unleash the true power of his deck. Now, let you see it. This is the person who is obsessed with Ascension and abandons everything else. The end of the fool."

Darkseid snapped his fingers. The light representing sublimation surged, outlining a familiar golden coat of arms. That pattern is——

"Rank-8. New Sequence 8, Aether Sobek."

"Ohhhhhhhh!!!"

Under the power of the source code, the crocodile god who originally protected order was reduced to a lackey of the devil, roaring intimidatingly at the savior heroes. The double helix on its back bloomed with unknown light, sending the power of sublimation into the hands of the devil.

"When [Ether Sobek] is super summoned successfully, you can add 1 magic/trap card from your deck to your hand. Naturally, my choice is..." Darkseid put the card that contains the power of sublimation. Cards are flipped and displayed. It's exactly——[RUM-Starlight Power]!

"...Have you even got the power of the starlight world in your hands!?" ZEXAL's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in surprise.

"Of course. After mastering the source code, I will be the supreme god in this world!" Although, the source code is not complete yet, making it impossible to fully and deeply integrate with him. Of course, Hoshimi Hitomi didn't intend to say these words.

"I will use the power of upgrading without mercy. RUM-Starlight Power, activate! Upgrade, Ether Sobek!"

As the bright light shines, the pure soul rises to another level. The crocodile god himself rebuilt the hypernetwork, and from it, the new eagle god clearly appeared.

"Rank-10, New Sequence 10, Etheric Horus."

"Ether Horus, the effect is activated. Once per turn, you can activate it by removing 1 of your own super materials. Until the number of cards on my field is the same as the number of cards on my field, the opponent chooses the cards on his field to destroy."

The spiral golden flash on the back of the etheric Horus bloomed with mysterious brilliance. That radiance is the light of discrimination, and only the chosen beings can survive.

"Then, destroy the alliance transport vehicle!" Black Manta said in a deep voice. Choose between a transport truck and a jellyfish, even a fool knows how to choose!

Darkseid was noncommittal and inserted a card from his hand into the magic trap area again: "Then, the second card. RUM-Starlight Power, activate again!"

The Eagle God once again rushed into the super network and upgraded his soul to the ultimate realm. It is the pure light that indiscriminately purifies all chaos and filth.

"Rank-12. New sequence 12, Aether Machus!"

At Darkseid's edict, the Lion God descended brandishing the scimitar in his hand. The supreme divine light burns the souls of the impure, which is purer and more difficult to look directly at than the stellar light of the sun.

[New Sequence 12 Ether Machus] [Effect] [Excessive]

[Race: Beast] [Rank-12] [Attribute: Light]

[ATK: 4000] [DEF: 3000]

"That is... the ultimate soul that has been promoted to the final level..." Under the black manta mask, Ling Ya couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes. That level of power... is terrifying!

"Normally speaking, this is indeed the limit. 12, this is the limit among duel monsters, and it can no longer be upgraded." Darkseid said lightly, but unlike the words in his mouth, he Insert the last card in your hand into the magic trap area. That card is——

The third one, RUM-Starlight Power!

"The so-called 'limit' is just the starting point of the next scale! The purer the soul, the more it will want to move towards higher goals. In the end - even the concept of 'limit' will be swallowed up. ! Look, this is the true end of sublimation, a monster that will swallow up the entire universe!"

"New Sequence 13. Ether——Amon!"

Centered on the hyper-network, everything-devouring light exploded. A huge beam of light soared into the sky, breaking the dome of the Dark Temple, extending from the surface of Pluto into the void beyond the gravitational range of this asteroid. The monster that almost touched the Akashic records, in the name of the supreme god Amon, looks down on all things equally with compassionate eyes.

One is the whole, and the whole is one!

Light illuminates the earth, everything comes from light, and everything ultimately returns to light, to Akasha. All things in the world are unified into a whole, coexisting with the great will, and together... Let's go to the next scale!

Chapter 214 87 Hope Dragona

The magnificent Supreme God's head broke through the sky, and he looked down at all living beings from the void of the universe with mercy. The spiritual light that burned even time and space was the proof that his soul sublimated to the limit and touched the Akashic Record.

[New Order Series 13 Ether Amon] [Effect] [Over]

[Race: Angel] [Rank-13] [Attribute: Light]

[ATK: 5000] [DEF: 4000]

"Rank... 13..." ZEXAL couldn't help but widen his eyes. Such a number beyond common sense, "Is this the power of Eliphas... no, Darkseid?"

Although [New Order Series] was originally a card held by Eliphas, he was not able to summon Ether Amon at all, and was thrown away by Darkseid. The ashes are still floating in the universe. And even the existence that almost touched the realm of gods, Ether Amon, was dominated by the power of the source number and became a minion of Darkseid.

The power of the demon god is really amazing!

"Ether Amon, activate the effect." Darkseid waved his hand, and Ether Amon's body, which was rushing straight into the universe, rose again. Ancient and mysterious patterns emerged on his body, and the divine light was brilliant.

"When this card is successfully Special Summoned, target 1 Xyz monster on the opponent's field. Cards with the same Rank as that monster and this card are overlapped from under the top card of the opponent's deck as Xyz materials. I target the Rank-4 [Invisible Jellyfish Monster] and activate this effect. Wish for Sublimation!"

As the order was issued, the six spheres on the head, the center of the body, and the metal decoration on the back that spread like wings of the majestic Ether Amon flashed their dazzling red light at the same time. The light was filled with the truth of the world, and it inspired Black Manta's deck.

The difference between Ether Amon's Rank 13 and Invisible Jellyfish's Rank 4, a total of 9 cards flew off the top of Black Manta's deck and turned into Gyro Materials with brilliant auras, surrounding Ether Amon's body. Add to that the 4 Gyro Materials he originally had, a total of 13.

The Devil's Lazy Angel is ecstatic?

"The difference in class... then, that monster is the symbol of absolute elite and absolute class. It is the embodiment of the name 'dominance'..." Black Manta raised his head and looked up at the seemingly merciful, but in fact extremely indifferent and ruthless monster, clenching his teeth, "It must be defeated!"

"Can you surpass Ether Amon, can you surpass me? Let's wait and see." Darkseid's tone was a little complicated, as if he meant something, but Black Manta and ZEXAL were immersed in other emotions and failed to notice the abnormality of the demon god.

"Aether Amon cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. In addition, its attack power increases by the number of its own Xyz materials x 100 points. My turn ends."

[New Sequence 13 Aether Amon ATK: 5000→6300]

The number of cards in hand is 0, and there are no cards in the graveyard that can activate effects. Darkseid has nothing to do, so he just transfers the ownership of the turn.

"Such a powerful effect, but it does not mean invincibility. This point, Black Manta... my... predecessor, has made me fully understand. Yuma!"

"Ah, I know, leave it to me. My turn, draw a card!" ZEXAL's whole body burst into golden light. Under the huge pressure and the excitement of the emotions in his chest, the fragments of the source code in the astral body further release their power.

With Yuma's pendant: the Royal Key as the center, the armor of the warrior ZEXAL, who is of different heat and heart, bursts with golden luster, and like a golden saint bathed in light, he transforms into a warrior of the source number: ZEXALⅡ.

"For the strongest duelist, everything is inevitable. Even the card drawing itself can be created from the source number as he wishes! Shining Draw!!!"

The glow of the source number condensed in his right hand, and the warrior ZEXAL, who understood the sadness and gained great power from it, drew a card.

The card was... Hoshimi Hitomi narrowed her eyes slightly. The time is ripe.

"Main Phase 1, I Normal Summon, the Heterothermal Servant - Sublime Sage!" ZEXAL slapped the card in his hand on the monster area. The blue warrior wielded a golden spear and descended from the sky, guarding him in front of him.

[Heart-to-Heart Servant - Sublime Sage] [Effect]

[Race: Warrior] [Lv4] [Attribute: Light → Water]

[ATK: 900] [DEF: 300]

"Then, once per turn, a card with the same name. This card can only be activated when there are Xyz monsters on the field. Special Summon this card from your hand. Come, [Hope King Starlight Hope]!"

The azure light from the astral world shines, and the Hope King, who has sublimated from the existence of the material world into an azure energy body, rushes from the end of distant time and space, stands in front of his partner and best friend, and helps him withstand the wind and waves. As always.
