Hi, and welcome back!

Also, thanks for all your reviews for the last chapters, and in response to mekyaku's review:

- Well, Ren was fighting Demiurge, the God responsible for Natasha, her girlfriend's death. It's obvious he would fight with anger. Why the other Mythorror Gods follow Demiurge will be explained by the Gods themselves in future chapters. About the Vince vs Demiurge, no spoilers. You'll have to wait and see!

Turn 21:

The Dictator's Power


[Intrusion Penalty: 2000 Life Points.]

Electricity shock the four duelists as they activated their duel disks and joined the battle.

Jack: LP 4000 - 2000 = 2000

Aki: LP 4000 - 2000 = 2000

Serena: LP 4000 - 2000 = 2000

Harald: LP 4000 - 2000 = 2000

"You're delaying the inevitable, humans!" Demiurge shouted as he grinned. "But if you want to feel the punishment that comes with challenging a God, be my guest!"

Current Duel Status:

Demiurge:

- LP: 3700

- Field:

Supreme Mythorror God Yaldabaoth (equipped with Saikō-shin no Subjugation and Saikō-shin no Aura): ATK 6300 (originally 4000)/DEF: 5800 (originally 4000)

Mythorror God Micutli: ATK 2700/OVU: 0

Mythorror Titan Perses: ATK 3500/OVU: 1

- Spell/Trap Zone:

Saikō-shin no Subjugation (Equip Spell)

Saikō-shin no Aura (Equip Spell)

- Pendulum Zones:

Mythorror Creation Aquarius: SC 1/Water Counters: 3

Mythorror Creation Libra: SC 12

"At this moment, I activate my avatar's effect inherited by Mythorror Titan Aura which is banished!" Demiurge stated. "Since I destroyed a Monster by battle, I gain Life Points equal to its Attack or Defence, whichever is higher! I destroyed Mirror Imagine Paradox Continuum 12 that had 4200 Attack, Tech Genus Halberd Cannon that had 4000 Attack, and White Aura Goddess that had 4000 Defence!"

A bright, green light enveloped Demiurge upon those words.

Demiurge: LP 3700 + 4200 + 4000 + 4000 = 15900

"He gained Life Points again...!?" Serena complained in irritation. "And they're over 10000 too...!"

"Because I activate Perses's effect this turn, I can't attack directly." Demiurge said. "Thus, I end my turn. The boost I gained from Aura's effect expires. Now, entertain me the best way you can, humans."

(Yaldabaoth: ATK 6300 = 5800)

"Entertain...yes, I remember Sakushi Vince fights like that as well. To entertain the crowd with his Entertainment Duel." Jack pointed out.

"And what does that have to do with this duel?" Demiurge raised an eyebrow.

"You may be a God, however, you're currently using Vince's body to act." Jack said. "That means, deep down inside that body, the real Vince exists!"

"Trying to awaken the host is impossible, human!" Demiurge snorted. "He's sealed away inside this body! Your words can't reach him!"

"My words might not, but my dueling is another story!" Jack shouted. "Sakushi Vince, using my own Entertainment Duel that I use every since I became the King to make the hearts of Commons and Tops re-unite, I'll make you hear my voice! Ore no turn! Draw! Since there are no Monsters on my field, I can Special Summon Red Gargoyle (Fire/Fiend/Effect/ATK: 1700/LV: 4) from my hand!"

A demonic monster with dark-red skin, flaming wings, and four arms appeared beside Jack.

"Then, I normal summon Red Resonator (Fire/Fiend/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 600/LV: 2) from my hand!" Jack stated as a little fiend in flaming robes appeared with a hunting chuckle. "At this moment, Red Gargoyle's effect activates, doubling the Level of Red Resonator which I just summoned (LV: 2 = 4)!"

"Jack's ace monster is coming." Aki thought aloud.

"For my final preparations, I activate the Continous Spell Resonance Rip!" Jack explained. "For what it does, you're going to find out now! The Level 4 Red Gargoyle tunes with the Level 4 Red Resonator! The heaven and earth shall tremble before the king's might! Let the power of the one and only supreme ruler be carved into your soul! Synchro Summon! The savage soul, Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight (ATK: 3000/LV: 8)!"

The mighty ace of the Jack appeared on the field with a roar.

"Because I Synchro Summoned using a "Resonator" Monster as a material, the effect of Resonance Rip activates!" Jack told as the Spell Card glowed brightly. "Thanks to it, I can destroy a card you control! I choose to get rid of your Saikō-shin no Subjugation, thus, your avatar loses all the gained effects!"

Demiurge frowned as the said Equip Spell vanished from his field.

"A wise move." Harald nodded. "Now Yaldaboath lost a lot of its powers."

"I activate the effect of Power Resonator (Light/Fiend/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 500/DEF: 300/LV: 2) in my hand!" Jack went on. "By discarding this Monster from my hand and targeting one Level 8 or higher Dragon Synchro Monster I control, I can increase its Attack by 1000 for every Monster my opponent controls, however, that Monster can't attack directly this turn!"

A little demon which resembled Red Resonator, but wearing robes made of blue electricity, appeared above Red Daemon's as it channeled power into the dragon's body before vanishing. Red Daemon's roared as it gained a fiery aura.

(Red Daemon's: ATK 3000 = 6000)

"Alright!" Aki cheered. "Now Scarlight has more Attack than any of Demiurge's Monsters!"

"I activate Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight's effect!" Jack declared as his ace gained a burning aura. "Once per turn, Scarlight can destroy every other Special Summoned Monster on the field which has an equal or less Attack than itself and deal 500 damage to the opponent for every destroyed Monster! GO! Absolute Powerflame!"

Scarlight smashed its fist in the ground, unleashing waves of flames at the God's field. However, before the flames could reach him, Demiurge leaped onto a platform.

"Action Spell Glare!" he cried out. "Thanks to its effect, I target your Scarlight and negate its effects! Also, this turn, your dragon can only attack Monsters I designate!"

A black hole appeared in front of his field, sucking in the flames.

"In that case, battle!" Jack pointed forward. "Red Daemon's Dragon, attack! Shakunetsu no Crimson Hell Burning!"

"Thanks to Glare's effect, I direct your attack onto Micutli!" Demiurge shouted.

Scarlight unleashed hot flames from its mouth, destroying Micutli at contact and sending Demiurge stumbling to the ground.

Demiurge: LP 15900 - 3300 = 12600

"I set two cards face-down and end my turn!" Jack concluded. "At this moment, Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight's Attack Points return to normal."

"Watashi no turn!" Aki declared. "Draw! Since I control no Monsters while my opponent does, I can Special Summon Violet Rose Witch (Dark/Plant/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 1700/DEF: 1200/LV: 4) from my hand!"

Suddenly, the ground in front of Aki cracked open as a giant rose grew out of it. The rose was colored purple, and upon fully emerging, its petals started to fall off, revealing a monster inside it: a humanoid monster with elf ears, pale green skin, long black hair, holding a golden staff, and wearing a purple cloak with a rose motif showed itself.

"Violet Rose Witch's effect continues!" Aki stated. "When Special Summoned by her own effect, I can Special Summon one Violet Rose Token (Dark/Plant/Effect/ATK: 0/DEF: 0/LV: 1) for every Monster my opponent controls. Demiurge, you control two Monsters, so I get two Tokens!"

Violet Rose Witch raised its staff high as it glowed brightly, two roses with purple petals emerged from the ground around it.

"Then, I normal summon Night Rose Knight (Dark/Warrior/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 1000/LV: 3) from my hand!" Aki shouted as a human wearing black armor, cyan hair, and holding a sword appeared beside her other monsters. "When my knight is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Plant Monster from my hand! Come, Wall of Rose (Earth/Plant/Effect/ATK: 0/DEF: 2100/LV: 3)!"

The floor beside Aki cracked even more as a large wall made of thorns and beautiful roses of different colors emerged.

"She summoned five Monsters just like that!?" Serena said amazed. "And without Pendulum Summon to boot..."

"Here I go!" Aki cried out, raising her arm into the air. "I tune my Level 3 Wall of Rose with my Level 4 Violet Rose Witch! Sinful soul resting in the sacred garden; it is time you accept your punishment and leave this holy ground! Synchro Summon! Set into bloom! Dragon of Death Garden - Black Rose (ATK: 2400/LV: 7)!"

The dragon with long wings made of red petals, black scales, yellow scleras, and orange eyes with black slits, appeared with a roar and gracefully landed next to its user.

"Bah! You both summoned those oversized lizards..." Demiurge scoffed in disgust. "I haven't seen them since the Great War and I still loathe at their sight."

"So this is that dangerous and familiar presence I felt from that boy during the tournament." the voice of Black Rose loudly told. Her eyes narrowed, almost in anger. "It was you."

"You know him, Black Rose?" Aki asked her dragon.

"Unfortunately, I do." the dragon nodded. "I battled him once in the past..."

"You and your sibling dragons really got to my nerves." Demiurge growled. "You and your little daddy were the main reason why I was sealed away!"

"Demiurge, you won't leave alive this time." Black Rose sternly said. "You're going to perish for real."

"That's what you think!" Demiurge grinned. "I'm far stronger than I was all that time ago!"

"I wonder about that." Aki spoke up, earning a glare from the God. "You might seem tough, but your powers are deprived of others! Here, let me demonstrate! I activate Black Rose's effect when Synchro Summoned: I can target and destroy cards you control up to the number of non-Tuner synchro materials used for my dragon's summon! I used one non-Tuner, therefore I choose to destroy your Saikō-shin no Aura!"

Black Rose roared after those words, strong winds manifesting around her wings. With a beat of her wings, Black Rose threw a tornado of petals at the Equip Spell, destroying it with ease.

"Since that card is now gone from the picture, your Yaldaboath's Attack and Defence return to normal." Aki pointed out.

(Yaldabaoth: ATK/DEF 5800 = 4000)

"After that, I tune my two Level 1 Violet Rose Tokens with my Level 3 Night Rose Knight!" Aki shouted as the knight became three green rings which surrounded the two roses. "Guardian of the sacred garden, with your thorns of authority, bring forth punishment on the sinful souls! Synchro Summon! Set into bloom! Rose Bramble (Light/Plant/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 1700/DEF: 2200/LV: 5) in defense mode!"

A beam of light shot through the three rings, from which a humanoid monster with pale green skin, wearing a rose motif dress covered in thorns, and holding two whips appeared.

"I activate Black Rose's other effect!" Aki stated. "By banishing the Plant-type Violet Rose Witch from my Graveyard, I halve the Attack and Defence of your avatar and negate its effects too! Go! Thorns Prison!"

Yaldaboath roared in pain as its body was surrounded by vines.

(Yaldabaoth: ATK/DEF 4000 = 2000)

"Once your Equip Spells are gone, Yaldaboath becomes a power-wall and nothing else!" Aki pointed out. "It loses all the effects it stole from your banished Monsters, along with the Attack and Defence boost it gained. This fact mirrors yourself, which only uses others to gain powers! If you're alone, you're powerless! Battle! Black Rose, attack Yadaboath! Petals Storm!"

"Perish!" the plant-dragon roared as it unleashed a wave of petals at the enemy dragon, piercing its body in numerous places before ending its life.

Demiurge: LP 12600 - 400 = 12200

"They...did it...!" Ren's eyes widen. "Thay defeated Yaldaboath!"

"I'm powerless...you say!?" Demiurge gritted his teeth as his eyes glowed red. "I'll show you powerless, puny human! At this moment, I activate a Monster Effect from my deck!"

"From the deck!?" everyone gasped.

"When my avatar is destroyed by the opponent, I can Special Summon my evolved form!" Demiurge explained as a black mist enveloped his field. "My powers are immense! Witness myself: Supreme Mythorror God Demiurge (Dark/Fiend/Effect/ATK: 4500/DEF: 4500/LV: 12)!"

Yaldaboath emerged from the mist before its body twisted and morphed into a new form: its entire body was covered in black scales with thick, red veins pulsing on them, and his claws were now double their original size with a void aura that surrounded them. An additional set of arms grew out of its body, just below its original set, covered with large, black spikes and the same red veins. On its chest was a bulky, skull-shaped head with two horns that twisted around its shoulders creating shoulder-guards. Erupting from its back were eight, serpent-like creatures with the head of a dragon, that had a large, black horn and skeletal armor around its face. Two large wings spout out from its back. The new form opened its eyes, revealing crimson colored eyes before it let out an inhuman roar.

At the same time, the poor body of Vince was further enveloped by scales and a dragon-like tail sprouted from his back. Demiurge laughed as he took the sight of Aki's face after she realized her mistake in destroying Yaldaboath.

"I didn't want to use this form so soon in the duel..." Demiurge chuckled. "But you've forced my hand, humans. Feel honored to be defeated by such a powerful being like myself!"

Aki gritted her teeth. "...I set one card face-down and end my turn!"

"Evolve all you want, but this duel's outcome will be the same!" Serena shouted. "It will end in your defeat! Watashi no turn! Draw! I normal summon Moonlight Sand Cat (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK: 1200/DEF: 1600/LV: 4) from my hand!"

A monster which resembled Moonlight Blue Cat in attire, but looking younger, having pale brown skin and sand-colored fur, appeared beside Serena with a cute 'meow'.

"Because I control a "Moonlight" Monster, I can activate the Spell Card Moonlight Dance Invitation from my hand!" Serena stated. "Through its effect, I can Special Summon one "Moonlight" Monster from my deck in defense mode. Appear, Moonlight Snow Leopard (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Pendulum/Effect/ATK: 1800/DEF: 1000/LV: 5/SC: 7)!"

A female monster wearing a white colored bodysuit and resembling a snow leopard appeared beside Sand Cat with a graceful twirl.

"As long as I control Snow Leopard, all "Moonlight" Monsters I control gain 400 Attack." Serena stated as Sand Cat and Snow Leopard's Attack Points were raised to 1600 and 2200 respectively. "Then, I activate the Spell Card Polymerization from my hand, fusing together my two Monsters!"

As her two monsters were sucked into a multicolored vortex, Serena chanted.

"Cat that mews to attract its prey! Limpid beast of the cold lands! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Beast that hunts with beauty under the moonlit night, Moonlight Lynx Dancer (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Pendulum/Fusion/Effect/ATK: 2600/DEF: 1800/LV: 8/SC: 1)!"

Out from the portal came a female monster wearing a beautiful bodysuit colored brown and with some white patches, wearing a lynx-shaped mask, and holding long, curved knives in its hands.

"I activate the effects of Sand Cat and Snow Leopard which were used as fusion materials!" Serena explained. "Lynx Dancer gains 1000 Attack until the End Phase thanks to Sand Cat, also, it gains the same effect as Snow Leopard thanks to the latter, which means all "Moonlight" Monsters I control gain 400 Attack!"

(Lynx Dancer: ATK 2600 = 3600 = 4000)

"Next, since I control a Level 5 or higher "Moonlight" Monster, I can Special Summon this card from my hand!" Serena shouted. "Come to me, Moonlight Chameleon (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Effect/ATK: 1900/DEF: 2100/LV: 6)!"

A female monster wearing a tight emerald-colored bodysuit with different colored accents, having some scales across its exposed body parts, and wearing a crescent-shaped moon mask appeared.

"When Chameleon is summoned, I can Special Summon one "Moonlight" Monster from my deck!" Serena stated. "Appear, Moonlight Brown Squirrel (ATK: 1000/DEF: 1800/LV: 4)!"

The female monster wearing a brown bodysuit, having squirrel ears and a tail, appeared with a graceful backflip.

"I activate Brown Squirrel's effect." Serena continued. "Through it, I can perform a Fusion Summon without the need of a "Fusion" card! The monsters I fuse together are Brown Squirrel and Chameleon! Moreover, Chameleon can be treated as a Fusion Monster when used as Fusion Material!"

As her two monsters were sucked into a multicolored vortex, Serena chanted again.

"Shadow of the brown trees! Color-changing beast that lurks under the moonlight! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Beautiful beast that pursuits the moon after the sunset, Moonlight Serval Dancer (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK: 2800/DEF: 2000/LV: 8)!"

A female monster with tan skin, wearing a golden, short bodysuit with black patches, long hair that shadowed its eyes, donning a purple lipstick, and holding two long spears between its fingers, emerged from the vortex while twirling its spears in a menacing manner.

"Thanks to Lynx Dancer's gained effect, Serval Dancer gains 400 Attack!" Serena reminded.

(Serval Dancer: ATK 2800 = 3200)

"A nice show of power, but you've made a miscalculation!" Demiurge said. "None of your Monsters have higher Attack Points than myself!"

"Don't be so sure!" Serena remarked. "Battle! Lynx Dancer, attack Demiurge's avatar! At this moment, since it's battling an opponent's Monster, Lynx Dancer's own effect activates, increasing its Attack by 600 (ATK: 4000 = 4600)! Do it, Lynx Dancer! Rending Barrage!"

The lynx dancer threw its knives at Demiurge's avatar, piercing its body in different places.

"I activate my effect!" Demiurge shouted. "By destroying another "Mythorror" Monster I control, I can prevent my destruction! I use Perses as my shield!"

Before Demiurge's avatar would die, Perses cried in pain as it exploded in particles of light which were eaten by the eight snake-heads erupting from the giant's back, healing its injuries.

Demiurge: LP 12200 - 100 = 12100

"You'll have to do better than that to faze me!" Demiurge said.

"In that case, check this out!" Serena pointed at her monster. "I activate Lynx Dancer's other effect! After this Monster battled an opponent's Monster, that Monster is banished! Your evolved form was a waste of effort to summon!"

"I beg differ!" Demiurge grinned. "I am unaffected by my opponent's card effects, which means Lynx Dancer's effect can't affect me!"

Serena gritted her teeth. "Damn it...in any case, since the battle ended, Lynx Dancer's effect ends (ATK: 4600 = 4000). But I'm not done yet! Battle! Serval Dancer, attack that monster again! At this moment, I activate Serval Dancer's effect, gaining the Attack of Lynx Dancer I control until the battle's end! Blending Assault!"

Lynx Dancer started dancing as it threw some new knives at Serval Dancer's direction. The knives became beams of light as they were sucked into Serval Dancer's spears which glowed brightly.

(Serval Dancer: ATK 3200 = 7200)

"Since Demiurge controls no other "Mythorror" Monsters..." Antinomy let out a sly smile. "He can't protect himself."

"I activate the effect of Mythorror Creation Cancer from my hand!" Demiurge abruptly stated. "By discarding it from my hand, I halve the Attack and Defence of your Serval Dancer!"

"You won't! I activate Serval Dancer's other effect!" Serena said. "When a "Moonlight" Fusion Monster I control would be affected by an opponent's Monster Effect during the Battle Phase, I can negate that effect!"

"Pesky little-! I activate Cancer's other effect!" Demiurge shouted. "When it's sent to the Graveyard, I can equip it to a Monster on the field and negate the equipped Monster's effects! I choose Red Daemon's Dragon for this effect!"

"I activate Rose Bramble's effect!" Aki quickly stated. "When a Plant or Dragon Synchro Monster on the field would be affected by an opponent's Monster Effect, I can negate that effect and inflict 500 damage to my opponent! Jack's dragon is safe!"

Rose Bramble cracked its whips, each striking Demiurge and causing him to hiss in pain and anger.

Demiurge: LP 12100 - 500 = 11600

"Thank you, Izayoi."

Aki nodded at Jack's words.

"In that case, I activate my other effect!" Demiurge intoned. "Once per duel, during both our turns, I can Special Summon up to 4 "Mythorror" Monsters from my Graveyard, face-up Extra Deck, and/or Banish Zone by ignoring their summoning conditions, negating their effects, and changing their Attack and Defence to zero! Be reborn to serve me, Virgo, Perses, Phobos, and Styx, all of them in defense mode!"

The skull-head on the chest of Demiurge's avatar opened its mouth as the said monsters emerged from it.

"Then, by using Virgo as my shield I protect myself!" Demiurge grinned.

The serval dancer slashed the giant God in various places, however, the eight snake-heads ate Virgo before it could've been destroyed, healing its wounds like before.

"But you still take the damage!" Serena pointed out as the shockwaves reached Demiurge, causing him to skid back.

Demiurge: LP 11600 - 2700 = 8900

"With the battle's end, Serval Dancer's effect also ends." Serena muttered as Serval Dancer's ATK returned to 3200. "I set a card face-down and end my turn. The effect of Sand Cat also expires (Lynx Dancer: ATK 4000 = 3000)."

"You're that girl who shares the same face as Yuzu if I recall correctly." Demiurge thought aloud. "I have yet to understand why the host thinks you're cool and strong. You weren't able to accomplish anything on your turn, except damage my Life Points a bit."

"You know me and Yuzu?" Serena asked.

"Of course." Demiurge scoffed. "I've been in Vince's body the day he came to this world. His eyes were my eyes. His ears were my ears. Even the time Vince dueled your muscle-head back at Standard, it was me who did the final strike and defeat him."

"You mean...Barrett?" Serena's eyes narrowed. "That explains why Vince's behavior took a sudden change at that time...so it was you all along..."

"Took you long enough to figure out." Demiurge said. "Just like Barrett suffered defeat and felt despair, all of you will do the same!"

Demiurge extended his right arm to the side. "Tremble in weakness!"

He did the same with his other arm. "Feel endless despair!"

A wide grin came across his face. "And die. That's what I want to see. All of you humans, just like during the Great War before I was sealed away. Your world is nothing else than my toy."

Black Rose and Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight growled in anger at those words, a sentiment shared by everyone else.

"Then we'll do just that."

The voice of Harald said, catching everybody's attention.

"Hoh?" Demiurge chuckled. "Have you finally used that brain of yours to think? Then be my guest and surrender-!"

"I wasn't done talking." Harald sternly cut him off. "We humans will tremble in weakness, feel endless despair, however, we will not die. That's where our strength lies: even if we're weak, even if we're on the verge of being crushed by despair, we will rise up and move forward! The one to die is going to be you, Demiurge!"

"Please!" Demiurge snorted. "You're all talk and no bite, just like the first time you faced defeat by my hands."

Harald gritted his teeth...


...In Vince's mind...

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

My voice broke the silence in the darkness, addressing Spectrum, Hel, and Yamatochi in front of me. After Demiurge locked us away, we tried anything we could to break free, but all in vain.

"We already tried anything." Yamatochi reminded me. "Moreover, with the more attempts we make, the more energy we use up, further increasing the seal's effects on us."

"As much as I hate saying this..." Spectrum sighed as he laid down on his back. "Demiurge... won this battle..."

"Hey! Don't give up hope yet!" I scolded him. "Can't we mess with my head until Demiurge loses control of my body? Or... anything else!?"

"Well..." Yamatochi tried to say, but a cold glare from Spectrum stopped him.

"What?"

"Don't dare tell him that." Spectrum said.

"No, tell me." I ordered the Duel Monster. "Please, tell me."

"...There is one option left." Yamatochi explained. "Your body holds a soul that's composed of two beings. You, and Demiurge. So if we... kill one of them... there is a chance the other one could perish as well."

"I have to sacrifice myself...to kill Demiurge?" I parrotted. "That's... what's the chance of that succeeding?"

"Fifty-fifty." Spectrum told. "And if it fails, Demiurge will gain total control."

"Feel at ease, spirit." Hel said for the first time in a long time. She was staring at the black sky as if searching for something. "The human can't do that."

"Why can't I?" I asked her.

The Goddess lowered her gaze at me and spoke. "Dear, you forgot who I am? I'm a Goddess who receives a portion of the dead in what you call Hell. I see dead souls come and go as a job. I know humans very well."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"I can read it in your eyes," Hel explained. "The fear of death. You aren't the first one I saw with that look. You don't want to die yet, you want to live long and discover everything life has to offer. Oh, how many souls have I saw which weren't able to do that... I lost count, to be honest. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is: you won't kill yourself to save humanity because you can't."

I felt guilty for some reason. Guilty because I knew Hel was right and I couldn't kill myself to save the entire humanity.

I always loved reading books and stories with cool protagonists that would sacrifice themselves to save others. I envied them a little. I thought how astonishing they were because I couldn't be like them. I want to live, live, and live...discover everything I could, discover even myself...until I started fearing death.

After all, how could you discover everything if you're dead?

I clenched my fists as I stared at Hel. An amused smile crept across her face. "Oh. Sorry if I angered you."

"No..." I frowned. "You're right..."

"You got roasted." Spectrum sighed. "Hel, what have you been doing in this past hour? You've been staring at the ceiling all the time."

"I can feel Harald is close to Demiurge at the moment." The Goddess explained as she looked back at the black sky. "Harald has the blood of the most well-known Norse-Gods-worshiper-family in history cursing in his vain. I can feel his presence by his blood, and I think... I might be able to reach him."

"Are you sure?" Yamatochi asked. "If you can do that, we could open a passage from this prison."

"I know." Hel said. "However, I will need more power to reach his mind. I need your help. Channel your energy to me, quick."

"How do we do that?" I asked.

"Just think of Hel." Spectrum told. "She can manage from there."

I nodded and did so. Spectrum and Yamatochi did the same until Hel was enveloped in light and actually vanished.

"Alright!" Spectrum cheered. "We did it! Now we have to wait for a clear gateway and we can escape!"


...Back to the duel...

"Please!" Demiurge snorted. "You're all talk and no bite, just like the first time you faced defeat by my hands."

Harald gritted his teeth...before a faint glow erupted from his Extra Deck.

"This aura..." Harald whispered as his Ansuz Eye appeared. "The Goddess Hel!?"

"Quick!" Hel's voice shouted in his mind. "Summon me! We need your help!"

The Nordic user nodded and immediately begun his turn. "Draw! From my hand, I normal summon Nordic Ascendant Vanadis (Dark/Fairy/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 1200/LV: 4)!"

A female monster wearing a white dress, having blood-red eyes, long, black hair, two angel wings, and holding a small scythe appeared with a hunting chuckle.

"Since I control a "Nordic" Monster, I can Special Summon this card from my hand!" Harald stated. "Appear from Valhalla, Nordic Ascendant Alruna (Light/Fairy/Effect/ATK: 1000/DEF: 2000/LV: 4)!"

The next being Valkyrie that appeared was covered in ornate green and gold armor, long, silver hair, its eyes closed and singing a soft melody while holding a glowing rune in its hand.

"Vanadis can be used as any "Nordic" Tuner Monster substitute!" Harald explained. "Thence, I treat it as a "Nordic Alfar" Tuner and tune it with Alruna to perform a Synchro Summon!"

As Vanadis changed to four green rings which surrounded Alruna, Harald chanted.

"This battlefield will taste true fear once the Goddess of Helheim descends! And that time has come! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 8! Hela, Outsider of the Aesir (Dark/Fiend/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 2600/DEF: 2000/LV: 8)!"

The same Goddess Vince uses appeared, however, she was wearing a new set of wardrobe: she was covered in silver armor, holding two obsidian swords, and riding her wolf, Garmr, the guardian of her kingdom's gates. The wolf larger than any wolf everyone present saw in their life, maybe as large as a truck, and it had black fur with emerald-green eyes.

"Impossible!" Demiurge roared upon the sight of Harald's new monster. "What are you doing here, Hel!? I sealed you away!"

"But it wasn't good enough." The Goddess said, her wolf growling. "You had to use a lot of your powers to create the "Mythorror Creation" Monsters you use, and because of that, the sealed weakened by a little, giving me the chance to reach Harald who, by summoning me to the field, set me free!"

Demiurge frowned. "You little bitch..." he whispered with a murderous intent.

"The situation made a change for the better." Harald commented. "I activate Hela's effect! Once per turn, I can Special Summon one Level 5 or lower Dark-Attribute Monster from my Graveyard or face-up Extra Deck in defense mode! Revive, Vanadis!"

Hela's wolf, Garmr, howled upon those words, a Graveyard portal opening as Vanadis emerged from it.

"I also activate Alruna's effect from my Graveyard!" Harald continued. "Since I control a "Nordic" Tuner Monster, I can Special Summon it, at the cost of banishing Alruna the next time it would be sent to the Graveyard! Come back, my Valkyrie!"

Another portal opened, this time, Alruna emerging from it.

"Next I activate the Spell Card Battle Call of the Gods!" Harald stated. "Since I control an "Aesir" Monster, I can Special Summon one "Nordic" Monster from my deck with its effects negated. Appear, Nordic Alfar Ljosalf (Light/Spellcaster/Effect/ATK: 1400/LV: 4)!"

A humanoid being made of blue-colored mist with orange eyes appeared.

"I activate Vanadis's other effect, sending the Level 2 Nordic Ascendant Meili from my deck to the Graveyard in order to change Vanadis's Level to Meili's, in this case, two!" Harald said. "Now, I tune the Level 4 Ljosalf and Alruna with the Level 2 Vanadis!"

As Vanadis changed to two green rings which surrounded Ljosalf and Alruna, Harald chanted again.

"The all-seeing and all-powerful king who rules the heavens of the North Star! Now, show your might that reigns over the gods of Asgard! Synchro Summon! Rule over the gods of heaven and earth! The highest God, Odin, Father of the Aesir (ATK: 4000/LV: 10)!"

Harald's ace monster took the stage, standing high and mighty behind its holder.

"He Synchro Summoned twice in one turn?" Jack questioned. "He never did that before. Is he going all out because of the stakes?"

"You went through all that trouble just two bring out two insects that have less Attack than me!?" Demiurge shouted.

"Let me change that then!" Harald said. "From my hand, I activate a Field Spell, Enclosure of the Aesir - Asgard! As long as this card is in play, all "Aesir" Monsters I control gain 500 Attack!"

(Hela: ATK 2600 = 3100; Odin: ATK 4000 = 4500)

"Battle!" Harald declared as jumped onto platforms. "Odin, attack the Demon! I also activate the Action Spell Overthrow! This will increase Odin's Attack by another 500!"

(Odin: ATK 4500 = 5000)

"I activate my effect, using Styx as a shield!" Demiurge shouted.

"But you still take the damage!" Harald said. "Heaven's Judgment!"

Using its giant spear, Odin decapitated Demiurge's avatar. The eight snake-heads devoured Styx, and the lost head regrew.

Demiurge: LP 8900 - 500 = 8400

"The Action Spell Overthrow has another effect!" Harald revealed. "If the Monster powered up by its effect wasn't able to destroy an opponent's Monster by battle, my Monster can attack again! Go, Odin! Heaven's Judgment!"

"Using Perses as a shield, I save myself!" Demiurge stated.

Demiurge: LP 8400 - 500 = 7900

"In that case, Hela will attack Phobos!" Harald shouted as Hela pierced Phobos's body with her swords, destroying it. "Then, I end my turn! The effect of Overthrow expires, returning Odin's Attack to 4500."

"Ore-sama no turn!" Demiurge announced. "Draw! Using the scale one Aquarius and the scale twelve Libra, I perform a Pendulum Summon! Revive from the Extra Deck! Styx (ATK: 2900/LV: 10/SC: 12), Perses (ATK: 3500/RK: 8/SC: 4), Scorpio (ATK: 2200/LV: 5/SC: 11), and Virgo (DEF: 1200/LV: 4/SC: 10)!"

A portal opened between the Demiurge's two pillars, four beams of light emerging from it and landing on his field, revealing his monsters.

"Virgo's effect activates upon summon!" Demiurge stated. "I gain 200 Life Points for every "Mythorror" Monster on the field, and you take damage equal to that amount! Take this, Jack Atlas! Leeching Thorns!"

The vines from Virgo's dress shot forward, enveloping Demiurge with a green light while striking Jack in the chest, causing him to grunt in pain.

Demiurge: LP 7900 + 1000 = 8900

Jack: LP 2000 - 1000 = 1000

"Next, I activate Scorpio's effect, targeting Serena's set card!" Demiurge said. "Scorpio will destroy the targeted card, and depending on what card it destroyed, it gains an effect! Let's see what you got in store, Serena!"

Using its tail, Scorpio sliced Serena's face-down into pieces, revealing a Trap Card.

"Since it destroyed a Trap Card, Scorpio becomes immune to Trap effects for this turn." Demiurge explained. "Next, I activate Styx's effect, banishing Micutli from my Graveyard to increase Styx's Attack by Micutli's!"

(Styx: ATK 2900 = 5600)

"Let's battle!" Demiurge grinned. "I use myself to attack Serena's Moonlight Lynx Dancer!"

"Lynx Dancer's effect activates since it's battling an opponent's Monster!" Serena reminded. "It gains 600 Attack!"

(Lynx: ATK 3000 = 3600)

"That's not enough!" Demiurge laughed. "Take this!"

The eight snake-heads and the skull on the chest of Demiurge's avatar each fired beams of dark energy, vaporizing Lynx Dancer and sending Serena skidding back.

Serena: 2000 - 900 = 1100

"Thanks to my final effect, I can attack all Monsters my opponent controls once each! Battle!" Demiurge pointed forward. "I attack Moonlight Serval Dancer! Goodbye, Serena!"

"Don't underestimate me!" Serena warned. "Serval Dancer's effect activates! When it's attacked, I take no battle or effect damage for the remainder of this turn!"

Demiurge's avatar crushed Serval Dancer under its feet, but Serena was protected from a transparent barrier which formed around her.

"In that case, I'll inflict pain to another one!" Demiurge scoffed. "Battle! I attack Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight!"

"Double Trap Card open!" Jack shouted. "Red Crystal and Red Gradation! Thanks to Red Crystal, "Red" Monsters I control cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn! With Red Gradation, on the other hand, I negate one instance of battle damage!"

Two red-colored barriers formed around Scarlight and Jack, protecting them from the attack.

"Then, Red Daemon's gains Attack equal to the negated damage!" Jack added as Scarlight's ATK increased to 4500.

Demiurge gritted his teeth in annoyance. "Battle! I attack Odin!"

"I activate the effect of Asgard!" Harald abruptly stated. "Once per turn, during both our turns, I can target one "Nordic" or "Aesir" Monster I control and make it invincible by battle or card effect destruction for this turn! I choose Odin!"

Demiurge jumped on a platform, grabbing an Action Card. "High Dive! This increases my Attack by 1000!"

(Demiurge: ATK 4500 = 5500)

Demiurge's avatar fired another round of beams at Odin, sending the God to fall back.

Harald: LP 2000 - 1000 = 1000

"In that case, I use myself to destroy Hela!" Demiurge said. "Begone!"

"Not on my watch! I activate Hela's effect, targeting herself with it!" Harald shouted. "This turn, the targeted Monster can't be destroyed and I take no damage involving its battles!"

"That leaves the little rose on the battlefield." Demiurge muttered as he stared at Aki. "Battle! I attack Rose Bramble!"

"Sorry, but you won't defeat me!" Aki assured. "By tributing Rose Bramble, I activate her effect! This turn, my "Rose" Monsters can't be destroyed by battle or card effects!"

"Then I'll just crush your lizard!" Demiurge scoffed.

"I activate the effect of Wall or Rose on my Graveyard!" Aki cried out. "I negate one instance of battle damage and Special Summon this Monster! However, the next time Wall of Rose is sent to the Graveyard, it's banished."

"But I got more ways to inflict pain upon you!" Demiurge remarked. "Battle! Perses, attack that lizard!"

Perses used its broadsword to damage Black Rose, causing it and its holder to cry in pain by the damage.

Aki: LP 2000 - 1100 = 900

"Whatever should I do...?" Demiurge though aloud as he tapped his chin. "I still have Styx that can attack, and it has 5600 Attack. Serena can't take damage for the rest of this turn, so that leaves Jack, Aki, and Harald..."

The three frowned at Demiurge's taunts.

"Aki has a set card, and I feel like Harald's Field Spell could have another surprise in store... that leaves you, Jack Atlas!" Demiurge grinned as he pointed at the said person. "The King will be the first to fall! Battle! Styx, attack Scarlight!"

"You made the wrong decision!" Jack informed the God. "I activate the effect of Red Gradation in my Graveyard! By banishing this card when I would take battle damage that will bring my Life Points to 0, I can negate that damage!"

"Hmph. Typical of you humans." Demiurge scoffed. "You don't know when to give up. I end my turn, Styx's and my Attack Points return to normal."

(Demiurge: ATK 5500 = 4500; Styx: ATK 5600 = 2900)

"You're a God, yet, I feel no intent to praise you." Jack said. "Your dueling is boring, too easy-minded, and arrogant. A true duel is a clash between souls, and when you used the Monster which symbolizes your soul, that Supreme Mythorror God Demiurge, to battle my Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight, the Monster which is the avatar of my soul, I only felt disgusted."

"Unlike you, I'm here to accomplish something." Demiurge growled at him. "I'm not here to be nice and smiles. I'm here to destroy you people so I can become what I truly am: a God destined to rule over the universe!"

"Your boasting and arrogance are annoying as well." Jack commented. "Also, I have to remind you something: you were once defeated and sealed away. As we all know, history can repeat itself. What makes you think that you aren't going to be defeated again?"

Demiurge gritted his teeth. "Don't think you're who-knows-who because you managed to survive my assault, Jack Atlas. My advantage in this duel is proof of my superiority over you humans!"

"Do I have to remind you this is a duel, o grand God?" Jack scoffed. "In a duel, everything can be turned upside-down with one draw. Moreover, as long as I have my ace monster, Red Daemon's Dragon by my side, the walls you build around yourself will be demolished in an instant!"

Jack's dragon roared in approval. Suddenly, Jack and his dragon were surrounded by a fiery aura...


...In Vince's mind...

"What's Hel going!?" Spectrum asked in a hasty voice. "She has to hurry or we'll lose connection to the outside!"

"Demiurge is holding us back." Yamatochi said. "Seeing Hel escape must have shocked him. I can feel his power increasing the seal's strength."

"Can we send a message to Hel or something?" I suggested.

"We're losing connection with her as well..." Spectrum muttered. "This isn't good, this isn't good, this isn't good...!"

That's when a loud roar echoed in the darkness, and a bright light shone on the sky as it fell apart, just like glass, from which a long, serpentine-bodied dragon emerged. It had five fingers, similar to a human's hand, bird-like legs, a long tail and neck and gold-colored eyes. On the end of its tail is a shovel-like dagger.

I recognized it the second I saw it.

"That's...!" I gasped. "The Crimson Dragon!"

"What's Quetzalcoatl doing here...?" Spectrum asked confused.

"He's creating a passage!" Yamatochi told. "Quick! We have to escape now or never!"


...Back to the duel...

Jack's dragon roared in approval. Suddenly, Jack and his dragon were surrounded by a fiery aura... as another loud roar echoed on the field. The Crimson Dragon materialized in the air, roaring again.

"NO! IMPOSSIBLE!" Demiurge cried out as he took a step back. "What are you doing here, damn winged-lizard!?"

"Father!" Black Rose gasped in shock.

"The...Crimson Dragon...!" Ren gasped himself. "Quetzalcoatl... did it sense Demiurge and came to defeat him again like in the past!?"

"The creator of miracles..." Antinomy muttered. "If he appeared... he must be giving strength to Jack in order to defeat the Demon!"

"Is that so?" Jack asked as he gazed at the Crimson Dragon, which growled as if saying yes. "In that case, Crimson Dragon, watch me! Me and Red Deamon's Dragon will defeat Demiurge and get back Vince! Ore no turn!"

The top card of Jack's deck glowed with the same fiery aura as he took hold of it.

"DRAW!"

As Jack looked at the card, he nodded. "This power will be enough! Here I come, Demiurge! I normal summon Salvation Dragon - Majestic Red (Light/Dragon/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 0/DEF: 0/LV: 1)!"

A little dragon with an oval-shaped head, two yellow eyes, glowing wings made of flames, and red colored scales appeared as it enveloped the field in a sacred light.

"What intense light of passion and strength..." Aki whispered. "Is this a miracle the Crimson Dragon can create...?"

"Majestic Red's effect activates!" Jack stated. "When this card is Normal Summoned, I can add one Tuner Monster from my deck to my hand. I choose Create Resonator! Then, since I control a Synchro Monster, I can Special Summon this Monster from my hand (Wind/Fiend/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 800/DEF: 600/LV: 3)!"

A fiend which resembled Red Resonator, but wearing old-looking robes and having a fan attached to its back, appeared with a chuckle.

"This is my power!" Jack declared. "I double tune the Level 8 Red Daemon's Dragon Scarlight with the Level 1 Majestic Red and the Level 3 Create Resonator!"

"Double Tuning!?" Serena exclaimed. "Such a thing exists!?"

The two Tuners morphed into rings purely made of fire which then enveloped Scarlight. At the same time, the aura around Jack intensified as a Blanc Card appeared in his hand.

"The King and the Devil, here and now, shall become one!" Jack chanted. "A raging soul capable of destroying all creations! Merge with my very soul, and obliterate all my opponents! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Level 12! Raging Demon Dragon King - Red Daemon Catastrophe (Dark/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 4500/DEF: 4000/LV: 12)!"

The Blanc Card gained its text and Jack slammed the card onto his energy blade. A giant dragon, as large as Demiurge's avatar, appeared with a roar. Its body was covered by burning lava armor, obsidian scales, and raw strength, four eyes piercing through every living soul's core. Catastrophe had four large demonic-wings to accompany its body, each having an additional dragon head attached to their tips. The dragon now had four large horns sprouting from its head, and its claws and talons were long and sharp, ready to rip everything to shreds.

"I activate the effect of Resonance Rip!" Jack stated. "Because I Synchro Summoned using a "Resonator" Monster as a material, I can destroy a card you control! I choose to get rid of your Mythorror Creation Aquarius!"

"Alright!" Aki cheered. "Now Demiurge can't Pendulum Summon anymore!"

"Curse you... curse you..." Demiurge snapped. "Curse you, Jack Atlas!"

"I activate Red Daemon Catastrophe's effect!" Jack went on. "Once per turn, I can target one card you control and negate its effects! And if I happened to target a Monster with this effect, Catastrophe gains half the Attack or Defence, whichever is higher, of that Monster! I choose Perses! GO! Absolute Dominion!"

Black tendrils lunched out the additional dragon heads, binding Perses and robbing its powers.

(Catastrophe: ATK 4500 = 6600)

"Battle!" Jack cried out. "Red Daemon Catastrophe, attack Scorpio! Shakunetsu no Crimson Hell Calamity!"

"I won't let you!" Demiurge barked as he grabbed an Action Card. "Guard Cover! Thanks to this Action Spell, I change your attack from Scorpio to my avatar!"

"Red Daemon Catastrophe's effect activates!" Jack stated. "The turn it was Synchro Summoned, I can negate the activation of an opponent's card or effect and destroy that card! I negate Guard Cover!"

The colossal dragon released flames from its mouths, striking down Scorpio and Demiurge, causing them to cry in pain. Scorpio was pulverized, while Demiurge was knocked to the ground.

Demiurge: LP 8900 - 4400 = 4500

"I activate Red Daemon Catastrophe's other effect!" Jack stated. "If this card destroys an opponent's Monster by battle or its effect, I can destroy another Monster on the field! I choose your avatar, Demiurge!"

"I activate my effect!" Demiurge stated through gritted teeth. "I use Virgo as my shield!"

Before the eight snake-heads could devour Virgo, the giant feet of Catastrophe came crashing down, destroying Virgo. The dragon then grabbed Demiurge's avatar by its head, strangling it. Without waiting a second, Catastrophe unleashed torrents of burning flames from its mouths on the God, causing both it and the real Demiurge to cry in agony before they were released from Catastrophe's punishment.

Both Demiurge and his avatar have seen better days.

"I end my turn!" Jack concluded. "After the second End Phase Resonance Rip was activated, it's destroyed."

"Watashi no turn!" Aki declared on cue, not giving Demiurge the time to recover. "Draw!"

The card she drew glowed brightly, before revealing a Monster Card she had never seen.

"The Crimson Dragon blessed us with his powers!" Black Rose explained. "We can use this to win!"

Aki nodded. "I activate the effect of Wall of Rose, changing its Level from three to one! Then, I normal summon this card: Salvation Dragon - Saver Dragon (Light/Dragon/Tuner/Effect/ATK: 0/DEF: 0/LV: 1)!"

A dragon identical to Jack's Majestic Red, but covered in pink scales and surrounded by light instead of flames, appeared.

"I now tune the Level 7 Black Rose and the Level 1 Wall of Rose with the Level 1 Saver Dragon!" Aki cried out. "Great rose which blooms in Eden, touch the soul of the Crimson Dragon, and raise up the roar of creation! Synchro Summon! Appear, Level 9! Saver Rose Dragon (Wind/Dragon/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 3400/DEF: 2200/LV: 9)!"

The dragon which appeared was as majestic as Red Daemon Catastrophe, but in beauty, it far outclassed the demonic dragon. Saver Rose Dragon had a long, serpentine body, two legs with long talons, and four large wings made of red petals. Its whole body took a slight mechanic-appearance, and its eyes and body glowed with sacred light.

"Saver Rose Dragon's effect activates!" Aki stated. "Once per turn, I can banish one Plant-type Monster from my Graveyard to halve the Attack and Defence and negate the effects of up to three Monsters my opponent controls! I banish Rose Bramble to weaken Styx and Perses! Thorns Judgment!"

Numerous thorns erupted from Saver Rose Dragon's body which then enveloped the two said Monsters, imprisoning them in veins with thorns.

(Styx: ATK 2900 = 1450; Perses: ATK 3500 = 1750)

Demiurge looked like he wanted to tear out all the hair on his head from the anger. "Impossible...!"

"Battle!" Aki announced with a wave of her hand. "Saver Rose Dragon, attack Perses! Eternal Creation Stream!"

Opening its mouth wide, Saver Rose Dragon unleashed a giant stream of energy at Perses, burning it to ashes and sending Demiurge flying back.

Demiurge: LP 4500 - 1650 = 2850

"I end my Battle Phase, and activate Saver Rose Dragon's other effect!" Aki stated. "I can return up to three of my banished Plant-type Monsters to the Graveyard, and banish that same amount of cards from your Graveyard, Demiurge! I return Violet Rose Witch, Wall of Rose, and Rose Bramble to my Graveyard in order to banish Mythorror God's Servant Phobos, Persona Coalesce, and the second copy of Cancer from your Graveyard!"

"With this, I end my turn!" Aki concluded. "At this moment, Saver Rose Dragon returns to my Extra Deck because of her effect, and I Special Summon Black Rose from my Graveyard (DEF: 1700/LV: 7)!"

Saver Rose Dragon exploded in a blinding light, Black Rose taking its place. The Crimson Dragon roared for the last time before it vanished.

"With the power of the Crimson Dragon, they severely damaged Demiurge's field." Harald let out a sly smile. "Good. Victory seems to be on our side!"

"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Serena spoke as she begun her turn. She studied her hand. "With these cards, I could-"

"Oi! Serena!"

"That voice-!" Serena looked behind her, seeing the one and only me. "V-Vince!?"

"In my astral form." I said, pointing at my transparent body. "Thanks to the Crimson Dragon, we managed to escape. However, I don't have a proper body since Demiurge's using mine."

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!" Demiurge howled in frustration and anger. "This can't be happening! I sealed you away!"

"And we managed to escape." Hela sighed. "It seems you... what's the word humans use in this situation? Suck? Yeah. Demiurge, you suck at sealing people away."

"What are you guys talking about?" Aki asked confused. "I can't see Vince anywhere."

"Only me, Hela, Demiurge and Serena can see Vince, I think." Harald thought aloud as his Ansuz Eye glowed.

"In any case, now that we have Vince freed, we can kill Demiurge with no problem." Serena told.

"Um, he still has my body..." I pointed out.

"We'll kill him and get back your body." Serena waved his hand. "Now we have to worry about defeating him. Then your body."

"As always, you're going straight to the point..." I sighed.

Out of nowhere, the sound of a heartbeat boomed in my and Serena's head. A faint glow was coming from her Extra Deck, and when she checked-!

"What's this card?" Serena questioned, staring at a glowing Blanc Card.

"This card... is my last Blanc Card." I realized, feeling an aura similar to my "Mythorror" Monsters coming from it. "Maybe when I chose to speak to you, it got sent to your Extra Deck by itself? It wants to help you, Serena."

"Help me? How could a card want to help me?" She asked.

"Duel Spirits." I said as a matter of fact. "Don't tell me you don't believe in them."

"They're a fairytale." Serena argued. "Just like Manek, you believe in these childish tales?"

I raised an eyebrow. "And playing card games to decide the future of humanity isn't childish?"

"Point taken." Isaac commented from the side.

"Either way, it's not like this card will speak to me in a second." Serena frowned.

"Ugh, gal, would you mind summoning me already?" An unknown voice told.

"Oh no it didn't..." Serena muttered as she stared at the card.

"But I did talk. Now, move it or you'll lose the duel by default!" The voice snapped.

"How do I use you if you don't have a text!?" Serena snapped. The card immediately gained its text, making her sigh. "That's better. Now, let's continue the duel! I activate the effect of Moonlight Dance Invitation in my Graveyard, banishing this card and the Monster summoned by its effect from the Graveyard or face-up Extra Deck to revive one Fusion Monster from my Graveyard with its effects negated! I summon back Moonlight Serval Dancer!"

The spear-holding dancer emerged from a portal which appeared on the ground.

"I activate the effect of Moonlight Snow Leopard which I just banished!" Serena stated. "Thanks to it, I can return a "Fusion" card from my Graveyard to my hand, and I choose Polymerization! Then, by revealing Polymerization in my hand, I can Special Summon Moonlight Sand Cat from my Graveyard, but I have to banish it the next time it leaves the field!"

Sand Cat reappeared Serval Dancer with a graceful backflip.

"Lastly, I activate the effect of Moonlight Duo Ballet in my Graveyard which was destroyed by Scorpio!" Serena explained. "By banishing this card, I can Special Summon a banished "Moonlight" Monster with its effects negated. Revive, Snow Leopard!"

"Wow! That's a move!" I praised her.

"Meow! Serena-sama is amazing alright!" The energetic voice of Sand Cat purred. "She's the best!"

Serena stared at her Monster for a second before addressing me. "Did it just talk?"

"Oh. My. God. You can hear me!?" Sand Cat shrieked like a crazy fangirl. "I always wanted to tell you're the best user there is, Serena-sama!"

"Sand, could you calm down?" Snow Leopard facepalmed. "You're shocking her too much."

"What...?" Serena whispered in utter confusion.

"Oh, I think I know what's happening!" I spoke up. "Just like you gained my last Blanc Card, you gained the ability to talk with Duel Spirits! That's great Serena!"

"But I... what the heck is happening?" She said.

"Gal, would you mind-!"

"I know, I know!" Serena snapped. "Calm down, jeez! I activate Polymerization from my hand, fusing together Serval Dancer, Sand Cat, and Snow Leopard!"

Her three monsters were sucked into a fusion vortex. Serena chanted.

"Beautiful beast that pursuits the moon after the sunset! Cat that mews to attract its prey! Limpid beast of the cold lands! Spiral into the moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth, the all-killing beast that prowls under the moonlit night, Moonlight Sabertooth Cat Dancer (Dark/Beast-Warrior/Fusion/Effect/ATK: 3000/DEF: 2000/LV: 9)!"

Unlike Serena's other monsters, this Fusion Monster was covered in a menacing aura, causing shivers to run down the spine of onlookers. Similar to Moonlight Panther Dancer, Sabertooth Cat's ears, legs, arms, and hands were covered in fur and claws, giving it a wild appearance. It also had a tail, and all of her fur was dark-orange. It wore an exotic dress with black stripes. Sabertooth Cat's hair was short, colored a black shade of red, with different strands of a light shade of red. This dancer chose a long, double-edged scythe as its weapon, and its dual colored eyes, red and green, glowed with malice.

"Sand Cat and Snow Leopard's effects activate!" Serena shouted. "Through them, my new monster gains 1000 Attack until the End Phase, and it boosts the Attack of all "Moonlight" Monsters I control by 400! Lastly, as long as my opponent controls a Monster which has more Attack than Sabertooth Cat Dancer's original Attack, it gains an additional 1000 power boost!"

The cat dancer gave a sadistic grin as its power rose.

(Sabertooth: ATK 3000 = 4000 = 4400 = 5400)

"Nice! It has 5400 Attack!" I cheered.

"I activate Sabertooth Cat Dancer's other effect!" Serena stated. "By banishing a "Moonlight" Monster from my Graveyard or face-up Extra Deck, I can banish one card you control! I banish Moonlight Chameleon from my Graveyard to banish your Mythorror Titan Styx. Now you can't revive it through Pendulum Summons! Let's battle! Sabertooth Cat Dancer, attack Demiurge's avatar!"

"There are no Monsters to use as your shield, Demiurge!" Aki pointed out.

"Which means you can't defend yourself!" Harald shouted.

"Vanish!" Serena cried out. "Moonlit Massacre Dance!"

Swinging and rotating its scythe around like a fan, Sabertooth Cat Dancer cut through random places on the body of Demiurge's avatar, leaving the fresh scars and cut skin open. The dancer, leaping into the sky, slashed the God Monster's face, causing it to cry in pain and fall back with an earth-shattering 'THUD'.

"Action Spell Amazing Escape!" Demiurge cried out while the monsters were battling. "This saves my avatar from destruction!"

"But you still take the damage!" Jack pointed out.

Demiurge: LP 2850 - 900 = 1950

"It's useless!" Serena told. "Sabertooth Cat Dancer can attack twice during the same Battle Phase!"

"SILENCE!" Demiurge roared in anger. "Amazing Escape has another effect! After I used its effect, the Battle Phase is forced to end!"

Serena gritted her teeth. "...I set one card face-down and end my turn! At this moment, Sand Cat's effect expires."

(Sabertooth: ATK 5400 = 4400)

"I can't believe it..." Demiurge muttered. "My perfect field and advantage... all of it ruined by some insects like you! You damn humans never let me do as I please! I AM A GOD! YOU HAVE TO BOW DOWN BEFORE ME!"

"That's where you're wrong." Harald complained. "You might be a God, but that doesn't mean we'll do as you please! We, humans, chose the path we want to take, not the one given to us by a Demon like you! Your arrogance, greed, and sins won't be forgotten, Demiurge! The time has come for you to pay!"

"My turn! Draw!" Harald declared as he drew. "I activate the other effect of my Field Spell! Once per turn, I can Special Summon one "Nordic" Monster from my hand! Appear, Nordic Ascendant Valkyrie (Tuner/ATK: 400/LV: 2)!"

The angel-like monster in a white dress and red armor appeared, swinging its sword to the side.

Harald's Ansuz Eye glowed brightly as he spoke. "I tune the Level 10 Odin, Father of the Aesir, with the Level 2 Valkyrie! The highest God, ruler of Heaven and Earth, gain your lost eye and become the supreme power of Asgard! Synchro Summon! Descend, Level 12! Odin, Sovereign of the Aesir (Divine/Divine-Beast/Synchro/Effect/ATK: 4500 = 5000/DEF: 4000/LV: 12)!"

Now wearing silver armor ornate with Nordic runes, Odin appeared on the battlefield with its golden aura. It now had both its eyes, and it was accompanied by two giant, black feathered crows on each of its shoulders.

"He evolved his ace?" Isaac looked surprised.

"Battle!" Harald declared. "Odin, attack the Demon's avatar! I activate Odin's effect! When it attacks an opponent's Monster, Odin gains 500 Attack for every "Aesir" Monster I control or is in my Graveyard. There are Hela and Odin on my field, so my God gains 1000 Attack! Take this! Asgard's Judgment!"

(Odin: ATK 5000 = 6000)

Odin raised its spear high as it started glowing. The Aesir God threw it, slicing the body of Demiurge's avatar in two and putting an end to its life, destroying it completely. Demiurge was caught in the attack, sending him flying.

Demiurge: LP 1950 - 1500 = 450

"He did it!" We all exclaimed in unison.

"Any last words, Demon?" Harald asked. "Actually, you aren't worthy of them. Battle! Hela, put an end to his life! ATTACK DEMIURGE DIRECTLY!"

As Hela and her wolf charged at the weakened God, Demiurge suddenly stood up, an expression of absolute anger on his face.

"I ACTIVATE THE EFFECT OF SOUL SALVATION IN MY HAND!" He roared. "By paying half my Life Points, I activate this Trap Card from my hand and negate the battle damage I would take!"

Demiurge: LP 450 / 2 = 250

A transparent wall shot out the ground, blocking Hela's path and swords from reaching the God's neck.

Harald gritted his teeth in frustration. "Slippery little... I end my turn!"

"You really took me to that point of rage..." Demiurge clenched his fists. "HUMANS! You want to defeat me at all cost, but in reality, you're digging your own graves! To overthrow a God is a sin which not even death can sufficient to repent! That pain and despair... allow me to show it to you! Ore-sama no turn! DRAW!"

"Give it up already!" I shouted at him. "There's nothing you can do! You only have one card in your hand, one set Pendulum Scale, and that's it!"

Demiurge stayed silent. "Heh... heh... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed as he stared at the card he drew. "It's finally here! The card... THIS card! YOUR DOOM HAS ARRIVED HUMANS! Using the scale 0 IkaImagine - Mythorror Tetramorph (Dark/Fiend/Pendulum/Effect/ATK: 0/DEF: 0/LV: 0/SC: 0), I complete my Pendulum Scales!"

A relatively tall and well endowed female figure appeared. It wore violet armor with a sleek, yet durable under layer of black cloth-like armor that acted like skin, along with two pairs of violet/blue wings on its back and had four heads: a human female head in the bottom-center that was covered by a violet helmet and visor with shoulder-length scarlet hair, a metallic bull head on the left, an armored lioness head on the right, and an armored eagle head on the top-center. The monster wielded a pair of blue fire swords.

"It has an original Level of 0!?" Serena asked shocked.

"I activate Tetramorph's Pendulum Effect!" Demiurge stated. "By banishing one card I control, I can Special Summon this being to my field! I banish Libra which is in my other Pendulum Zone!"

Libra exploded in particles of light as Tetramorph descended to the field.

"Then, by banishing Tetramorph, I activate its effects!" Demiurge stated. "I shuffle my avatar's two forms along with 13 different Mythorror Creations from the field, Graveyard, face-up Extra Deck, or Banish Zone into my deck, and summon my final and strongest form!"

The body of Tetramorph exploded in blinding light, which then became a dark-fusion vortex. Yaldaboath, Demiurge's avatar, and the 13 different Mythorror Creations were sucked into it, and even the real Demiurge.

"The Stars of Destruction, merge together with my essence!" The God chanted from inside the vortex. "I shall now become the true ruler of the entire universe, Death and Pain itself! Bow down before me, everything created by the other Gods and humans! GOD SUMMON! I descend, Level 13! The Dictator God - Demiurge (Divine/Divine-Beast/Pendulum/Fusion/Effect/ATK: 5000/DEF: 5000/LV: 13/SC: 13)!"

A titanic monster emerged from the vortex, towering over even Odin. It had a dark-colored body with six core-like objects on its body, two on the palms of each hand, two on each knee, one on the chest, and one above its head. It had thick trunk-like limbs, a thick lashing tail with a sharp tip, large dragon-like claws, several spikes all over its body, a humanoid head and face with a pair of demonic horns, deep crimson eyes, and four deep blue eyes on its chest, between which Demiurge sprouted, his waist fused inside the God Monster, his arrogant and confident eyes staring down at the people below.

"He fused himself... with a Duel Monster...!?" Aki gasped.

"A Level 13 monster...!" Jack's eyes widen.

"Tremble in weakness! Feel endless despair! And DIE!" Demiurge roared from atop the God Monster. "I activate my effect! When I descend to the field, for the rest of this turn, my opponent cannot activate effects, also cards my opponent controls cannot activate their effects! Moreover, my opponent cannot activate cards or effects in response to this effect's activation!"

"WHAT!?" We all cried out as the field was covered in a black miasma.

"And that's not all!" Demiurge laughed. "When I descend, I can activate another effect I have in store! All other cards on the field are DESTROYED!"

The six core-like objects started glowing, unleashing numerous rays which destroyed anything the touched, creating several explosions.

"Then, each player that had cards destroyed by this effect takes 200 damage for every destroyed card! TAKE 1600 DAMAGE AND ACCEPT DEFEAT!"

The explosions reached Jack, Aki, Serena, and Harald. They all cried in pain as they blown off their feet, landing on the hard floor.

"E-Everyone!" I gasped.

Jack: LP 1000 - 1600 = 0

Serena: 1100 - 1600 = 0

Harald: LP 1000 - 1600 = 0

Aki: LP 900 - 1600 = 0

"I TOLD YOU!" Demiurge reminded as his voice boomed across the field. "NO-ONE CAN DEFEAT ME!"

"D-Damn it..." Harald gritted his teeth. "I lost... again...! Is there really... nothing we can do... to stop the Demon!?"

"I can't believe it came down to this."

The room was silenced by a new person's voice. The loud echo of high-heels resonated on the field, until its owner appeared from a portal. It was a young and tall woman with long hair with the left side of her face badly scarred, just like Ren and Isaac, however, her left eye was dull, with no colors. She wore a white suit, similar to Ren's, and she had a black cloak tied around her shoulders.

"You must be Demiurge." The woman said calmly, taking in the sight of the giant God in front of her. "What an unpleasure to finally meet you."

"Who the Hell are you?" Demiurge raised an eyebrow.

"My name is Eve." She introduced herself. "And I'm the leader of my group. You already defeated them, Isaac, Antinomy, and Ren. You also defeated comrades Vince made, Jack, Aki, Serena, and Harald, yes? Since that's the case, I'll have to defeat you."

"So you're the final resort to stop me?" Demiurge grinned. "Fine. After I defeat you as well, I can finally kill all of you!"

A sly smile appeared on Eve's face, but unlike Demiurge's, this smile caused shivers to run down everybody's spines, even Demiurge who flinched.

"Oh really?" Eve mused. "Defeat me? Sorry, but you won't get the chance. After all... you're in for a surprise once you see my ultimate deck."

[Intrusion Penalty: 2000 Life Points.]

Eve activated her duel disk, but no electricity ran over her body.

Eve: LP 4000 - 2000 = 2000

"Ultimate deck?" Demiurge scoffed. "Don't make me laugh. Everything before my final and strongest form is pathetic! For every card I managed to destroy with my effect, I gain 500 Life Points! Eight cards were destroyed, so I gain 4000 Life Points!"

Demiurge: LP 250 + 4000 = 4250

"He even regained his Life Points...!" Isaac's eyes narrowed as he stared at her boss. "Eve... you're our final hope...!"

"The turn I activate my destructive effect, I cannot enter my Battle Phase." Demiurge said. "Thus, I will end my turn! Now, try and entertain me, the last human which wants to be crushed by me!"

Eve ignoring him, placing her fingers on the top card of her deck. "Watakushi no turn. Draw!"


The boss of Isaac, Antinomy, and Ren finally shows herself; it's Eve! The main antagonist of the Arc-V Manga. Sorry for those who waited for Z-ONE, but he isn't the lucky one to appear. I would've loved to use his Timelord deck, but from the beginning of this story, I planned to use Eve.

Something which I never understood about the canon is why Jack mentions the Crimson Dragon in Red Daemon's Dragon Tyrant's but the Crimson Dragon never makes an appearance or is mentioned. Not even Jack explains it why he knows about the dragon. So I decided to have the Crimson Dragon actually play a role in this story, a support-role for Jack and Aki who use two of the Signer Dragons.

I made Harald's ace, Odin, have an evolved form, something which I thought would be cool, seeing we never actually got an evolved form of any of the 3 Aesir Gods.

Serena finally gains the ability to speak with Duel Monsters, and Vince gives her his final Blanc Card. This is another thing I planned to do for a long time.

Thanks to Coolfireblast who helped me with Demiurge's second form, and to KaiserFox who helped me with Demiurge's final form and Mythorror Tetramorph.

Demiurge's last form is a Fusion Monster, but I didn't want to have him declare 'Fusion Summon!' because that would be meager, so I made him say 'God Summon' since he is summoning a God.

In the next chapter, this grand duel will reach its end!
