"Which one of us can summon a monster?" Elsa asked him.
"Any of you five your the same opponent." Emperor answered simply.
"Soulburner, why don't you take this one." Specter suggested calmly.
"Alright... In that case, I'll summon Salamangreat Foxy in Defense Mode!" Soulburner called as foxy appeared in flames.

"With that done, I activate Lib's special ability!" Emperor called as Lib glowed, "I take a World Legacy Spell or Trap, and place it on the field set!"
He sets a card from his Deck.
"And now I activate it, World Legacy's Corruption!" Emperor called as the card was revealed into a new Continuous Spell.

"And now appear the Circuit of Destruction, and Rebirth!" Emperor called as the circuit appeared, "The summoning conditions are at least two Effect monsters including at least one Link Monster!"
Lib, and "World Shield" flew up entering the arrows that are the same as Decode Talker. Varis frowned seeing that as Windy looked on angrily.
"Centaur Warrior who's goal is reshaping the world! Give in to the desires of man, and shape the world as they see fit! Link Summon! Link 3, Crusadia Equimax!"
At that a green armored centaur warrior that has yellow lines wielding a light blue sword, and having with a blue mane appeared neighing.

"Equimax's special ability gains attack points equal to all monsters it's linked too!" Emperor called seeing Delteros is linked.
Equimax: (ATK: 2000 + 2500 = 4500)
"And also monsters it's linked too cannot attack!" Emperor added.
"4500!" Ai cried in shock.
"And it's not even his most powerful monster." Flame noted.
"And now I activate Lib's special ability! Since it's used for a Link Summon 1 card is shuffled in the Deck!" Emperor called shocking them, "My target is Marincess Battle Ocean!"
Elsa's field spell vanished as it was shuffled which forced Wonder Heart to lose her points.
Wonder Heart: (ATK: 4400 - 200 - (600 * 3) = 2400)
"Oh no!" Nyx cried fearfully.
"Hey wait a sec how come he didn't used that on Wonder Heart?" Ai asked confused.
"That's a good point." Skystar admitted
"It's due to Battle Ocean." Flame answered that, "Marincesses summoned with Crystal Heart to the Extra Monster Zone are unaffected to his effects."
Elsa frowned at that.
"And now to keep this going, I use "World Chalice"'s effect!" Emperor called as the monster vanished, "By banishing it, I take a World Legacy card to my hand from the Deck. That allows me to use Succession again!"

"When summoned, I send World Legacy's Heart back to the graveyard!" Emperor said sending the protection Spell Card back to his grave,
"And with another monster Linked, Equimax gets stronger!"
Equimax: (ATK: 4500 + 1800 = 6300)
"6300 points?" Skystar asked in shock. "That's almost enough to wipe us out in one attack!"
Elsa grunted.
"And now battle! Equimax attack Wonder Heart!" Emperor called as Equimax charged.
Luckily Elsa has a plan, "Don't think so! I activate Wonder Heart's ability! One time a battle, I summon a Marincess that's equipped to her, and block the attack completely!"
Crystal Heart emerged to the field as Equimax's attack struck a shield which was ineffective to Wonder Heart.
"Phew, we managed to survive that one." Ai whispered.
"Maybe, but he could play that at any moment." Playmaker reminded him.
Not bothered Emperor stated, "I set three cards, and end my turn."
His remaining Spell/Trap Zones were all occupied by that move.
"Well now Crystal Heart equips onto Wonder Heart at the end of the battle." Elsa mentioned as Crystal Heart got on Wonder Heart again.
Windy clenched his fists as he started tearing up.
"This is crazy. Emperor is keeping up with us without breaking a sweat." Aqua admitted in shock, and awe.
"Just how much did King do to him?" Lightning agreed by saying that.
"Well now it's my turn now!" Soulburner called stepping forward.
"Time to turn up the heat Soulburner." Flame mentioned calmly.
Soulburner 1st Turn:
"What I was thinking! Draw!" Soulburner called drawing as "World Shield" rose up again but this time Soulburner doesn't summon anything (Emperor: 0500) looking before calling, "First, I activate Salamangreat Sacrifice!"

"Not for long!" Soulburner called as the reincarnation circle appeared as Heatleo entered it, "Surging flame, awaken Heatleo's true strength with the power of purification! Reincarnation Link Summon! Resurrect, the king of beasts that runs through the fire prairie! Salamangreat Heatleo!"
Heatleo reappeared with it's fire mane roaring.
"Heatleo's effect activates! Resounding Roar again!" Soulburner called as Heatleo roared at Emperor's second face-down this time shuffling it back as Emperor grunted.

"Take it Soulburner!" Elsa told him.
While blinking Soulburner complied, "It allows me to target your Link Monster, and draw cards equal to it's Link Rating then if I have 2 or more cards in my hand, I have to play 2 cards in my Deck to the bottom of my Deck!"
He drew three cards checking them before sending two card, "And now I activate Foxy's effect! I discard the Shrine in my hand to summon it back!"
Foxy reappeared before Soulburner added, "Then a face-up spell or trap is destroyed! I pick The World Legacy!"
The fox fired a blast only for a shield to block it as they noticed World Lance is gone.
"If your wondering that Equimax can sacrifice a World Legacy, or Crusadia card to negate a card's effect." Emperor explained to them.
The World Legacy: (Counter: 6)
"He has a counter to everything." Varis noted with a frown. "King must have planned for this situation."
"Well still it'll break!" Soulburner called before calling, "And thanks to Elsa's trap, I am able to do something else! You with me Flame!?"
"Of course." Flame nodded.
"Appear the circuit that changes the future!"

"This card does what Sanctuary does!" Soulburner called as Pyro Phoenix flew up entering the circle, "Phoenix! Throw yourself in the surging flames to awaken your immortal power! Transcendent Reincarnation Link Summon! Be Reborn! Link 4! Salamangreat Pyro Phoenix!"
At that Pyro Phoenix reappeared though he now has blue blazing wings.

"So now by sending it to the graveyard all other Orcust, or World Legacies on the field can't be destroyed by card effects!" Emperor called as the fire storm was mostly blocked but his Link Monster was destroyed.
"So close." Ai frowned.
"Ya serious?" Soulburner grunted.
"And there's more. Since your effect caused Equimax to be removed from the field, I can activate World Legacy's Corruption's effect!" Emperor called as his spell glowed, "It permits me to summon a new World Legacy to take it's place! Rise in Defense Mode, World Legacy Guardragon Mardark!"

"That's the one that makes their monsters weaker." Nyx mentioned fearfully.
"For every Dragon on my field your monsters lose 500 points!" Emperor called as Mardark spew a dark mist.
Pyro Phoenix: (ATK: 2800 - 500 = 2300)
Wonder Heart: (ATK: 2400 - 500 = 1900)
Delteros: (ATK: 2500 - 500 = 2000)
"What are we supposed to do now?" Skystar asked nervously.
'And now due to "World Shield" we can't attack him directly...' Soulburner grunted, 'Still...' "Skystar, I'm borrowing Delteros!"
"Huh?" Skystar asked in confusion. "Sure... go ahead."
"I activate Delteros' ability to destroy Mardark!" Soulburner called as Delteros slayed the dragon. (ORU: 1 - 0)
The World Legacy: (Counter: 7)
"And now Elsa you mind?" Soulburner asked her.
Pyro Phoenix: (ATK: 2300 + 500 = 2800)
Wonder Heart: (ATK: 1900 + 500 = 2400)
Delteros: (ATK: 2000 + 500 = 2500)
"If it helps us win my cards are your cards Soulburner." she answered.
"Well now Wonder Heart attack Girsu!" Soulburner called as her Link Monster charged, "And now Wonder Heart's effect activates to which I chain with Sanctuary's other effect! By paying 1000 points, I make a Link Monster's attack points zero, and gain Life Points equal to that monster's points! Plus Wonder Heart defends itself, and me from battle by summoning one of the monsters it's equipped with once a battle!"
Blue Slug appeared as Wonder Heart powered down. (ATK: 2400 - 2400 = 0)
(Playmaker, Soulburner, Specter, Elsa, & Skystar: 5400)
The attack done nothing.
"Clever move." Varis noted calmly.
"Now Blue Slug!" Soulburner called as it destroyed Girsu, "Pyro Phoenix!"
His own Link Monster destroyed the Token leaving "World Shield" as Emperor's lone monster.
"Can they really win?" Nyx asked hopefully seeing that.
Emperor soon stated, "I should let you all know something."
"What is it?" Playmaker asked him.
"My spell, The World Legacy. Each time a Counter is placed it marches something closer." Emperor told them, "And now with Seven Counters it's true power is able to be used. By sending it to the graveyard when seven Counters on are this card, I can summon a Cyberse Link Monster from my Extra Deck... That also includes the Ultimate Cyberse that King, and SOL created!"
"What?" Soulburner questioned in shock.
"The Ultimate Cyberse!" Ai cried. 'But that's not possible... the ultimate Cyberse is...'
"Soulburner you should use Pyro Phoenix's second effect before he has a chance!" Flame told him.
'It allows me to summon a Link Monster from his graveyard, and reduce it's points to zero, and then deal Emperor damage equal to the original points of that monster.' Soulburner thought at this before telling Flame, "Flame thanks for the suggestion... But I'm gonna hold onto it for now. Just until we're sure he can't block it."
Flame looked unsure but nodded. With that thought Soulburner sets a card, "I end my turn."
Playmaker, Soulburner, Specter, Elsa, & Skystar: 5400
Emperor: 0500
Emperor 4th Turn:
"My turn!" Emperor called drawing, "And now to summon the Ultimate Cyberse-"

"So now for the next three turns you can't summon anything from the Extra Deck!" Skystar explained which made Emperor frown.
"Perfect." Ai grinned.
"Very well then." Emperor said looking at his drawn card, "In that, I'll activate the spell, Pot of Greed!"
Pot of Greed

After drawing two cards he set them, "I now end my turn."

"Only once a turn though." Playmaker reminded him.
"You don't need to worry." Specter grinned, "Since I used Genius Loci to summon Dryas it's ability adds Sunvine Shrine to my hand!"
He shows the added spell. Varis smirked seeing that.
"I then discard a card to activate Sunvine Shrine!" Specter said activating the spell he added.
Sunvine Shrine
Continuous Spell Card
Activate this card by sending 1 card from your hand to the GY while you control a "Sunavalon" Link Monster. You cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck, except Plant monsters.

During your opponent's End Phase: You can send this face-up card from the field to the GY, then target 1 Continuous Trap in your GY; Set it to your Spell & Trap Zone.
"And once a turn, I summon a level 4 or lower Plant Normal Monster as long as I only summon Plants from my Extra Deck!" Specter smirked, "Revive Genius Loci!"
His seed appeared before he called, "Appear again future circuit that guides us!"
The circuit appeared as Dryas, and Shadow entered the bottom diagonal arrows.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Sunavalon Dryades!"
Dryades grew from Dryas.

Nyx smiled. "He's really strong, he can help them win."
"And now, I activate Healer's ability! When Link Summoned I regain 300 points for each Link Marker, Dryades has!" Specter smirked as Healer gave the five energy.
(Playmaker, Soulburner, Specter, Elsa, & Skystar: 6000)
"And now I use Shadow's effect! By banishing it, I summon a second Healer with it's effects negated!" Specter called as a second Healer popped up, "Appear future circuit! Summoning conditions are at least 2 Link Monsters!"
They flew to the arrows.

"Whenever this monster is summoned, I take a Sunavalon card to my hand." Specter said to them before smirking, "But I won't do that cause I already had the card I looked for. For now by discarding Sunvine Spell I can activate Silent Doom without a Spell/Trap Zone!"
Silent Doom

"When summoned it gains 800 attack points for each of Dryentrentiay's Links." Specter smirked to Emperor, "Dryentrentiay is Link 4, therefore Thrasher gains 3200 attack points!"
Thrasher: (ATK: 800 + (800 * 4) = 4000)
"Battle! Thrasher attacks "World Shield"!" Specter called as Thrasher charged,
Emperor called, "I activate the trap, World Legacy Landmark!"
World Legacy Landmark
Normal Trap Card
Banish 1 "World Legacy" monster from your hand or face-up from your field, then target 2 monsters in your GY; Special Summon them, but they cannot attack this turn.
"By banishing 1 World Legacy on the field or hand, I can summon two monsters from the graveyard but they can't attack!" Emperor called as "World Shield" vanished, "So now "World Lance", Mardark come again!"
The two appeared in place ready as Mardark spewed it's dark mist.
Pyro Phoenix: (ATK: 2800 - 500 = 2300)
Wonder Heart: (ATK: 0 - 500 = 0)
Delteros: (ATK: 2500 - 500 = 2000)
Dryentrentiay: (ATK: 0 - 500 = 0)
Thrasher: (ATK: 4000 - 500 = 3500)
"Not that thing again." Ai frowned.
"Ah well, I'll just get rid of Mardark!" Specter called as Thrasher brandished his sword.
Emperor called, "You can't attack other World Legacies but "World Lance" while it's in play!"
"Then I attack "World Lance"!" Specter decided as Thrasher charged in at "World Lance" slashing down destroying it before he added, "Then Thrasher's effect! It revives "World Lance" to my side without it's abilities!"
"World Lance" appeared on his side.
"Mardark's effect!" Emperor called as Mardark spewed mist on "World Lance".
"World Lance": (ATK: 3000 - 500 = 2500)
"He's starting to annoy me, think you can finish him off on your turn when it comes up Playmaker?" Soulburner asked him.
"I'll try. I just hope, I can do so before he has a chance to summon the Ultimate Cyberse." Playmaker admitted at this.
"Don't forget, on Playmaker's turn the effect of Skystar's trap will expire." Specter pointed out.
They nodded before Specter added, "Well for now, I send Shrine to the graveyard to set a Continuous Trap from my graveyard to the field!"
He sets a card as Shrine vanished.
'I didn't use Dryentrentiay's ability cause Playmaker's gonna need Thrasher for ahead...' Specter thought.
Playmaker, Soulburner, Specter, Elsa, & Skystar: 6000
Emperor: 0500
Emperor 5th Turn:
Emperor drew looking before saying, "I'll pass this turn."
Playmaker 1st Turn:
Finally Playmaker step forward, "Then it's my move."
'Big brother.' Nyx thought with a smile.
"During the standby phase Stallerknight Bridge is destroyed." Skystar frowned.
His trap shattered as Emperor said, "So now I can summon monsters from the Extra Deck once more. Course the trick to do that is by lasting a turn against Playmaker the one who saved old Link VRAINS, and was treated unfairly for his deeds by SOL."
"We're all behind you." Elsa smiled.
Playmaker nodded before drawing, "Draw!"
He drew before he called, "First I activate Specter's face-down, Sunavalon Bloom!"
Sunavalon Bloom

You can only use this effect of "Sunavalon Bloom" once per turn. You can only activate 1 "Sunavalon Bloom" per turn.
"Since their is a Link 4 or higher Plant monster on the field Mardark's effects are sealed!" Playmaker called as Mardark roared in agony.
Pyro Phoenix: (ATK: 2300 + 500 = 2800)
Wonder Heart: (ATK: 0 + 500 = 0)
Delteros: (ATK: 2000 + 500 = 2500)

Thrasher: (ATK: 3500 + 500 = 4000)
"World Lance": (ATK: 2500 + 500 = 3000)
"And now appear the circuit that leads to the future!" Playmaker called as the circuit appeared, "The summoning conditions are 2 effect monsters!"
"World Lance", and Thrasher flew up entering the markers.
"Link Summon! Link 2, Code Talker!" Playmaker called as Code Talker rose up.

"Flame Bufferlo discards a Cyberse for me to draw 2 cards!" Playmaker called drawing two cards as he then called, "Decode Talker has the same ability as Code Talker! Power Integration!"
Decode Talker glowed. (ATK: 2300 + 500 = 2800)

"Nice, with Accesscode Talker this duel is over." Ai grinned.
"Accesscode Talker's ability! It gains 1000 attack points per Code Talker's link!" Playmaker called as Accesscode glowed.
Accesscode: (ATK: 2300 + (1000 * 3) = 5300)
"It's other ability activates! I banish a Link Monster to destroy one of your cards as long as their a different attribute!" Playmaker called.
Emperor grunted, "Then I'll activate World Barrier!"
World Barrier
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field: It cannot be destroyed by card effects this turn.
"So you can't use Accesscode's effect to destroy The World Legacy!" Emperor told Playmaker.
"Except I use it on Mardark leaving you open!" Playmaker called as Heatleo vanished from the graveyard which destroyed Mardark from a throw at Accesscode's part.
"Deliver the final blow Playmaker." Specter smirked.
"Accesscode attack!" Playmaker called as Accesscode charged in.
"Finish him!" Ai called.
Emperor then grinned, "Sorry... But does this look familiar?"
He reveals the card he drawn was Swift Scarecrow.
"That stops Playmaker's attack." Flame frowned.
"Not only that it ends his battle phase." Skystar added.
"Wait, but that means..." Elsa started nervously before looking at Emperor's spell.
"I couldn't finish him." Playmaker grunted at this.
"Sorry Playmaker. But King is more advanced then you think." Emperor frown to him.
Playmaker not able to do anything else stated, "I end my turn... Which means now the Ultimate Cyberse comes."
"Indeed." Emperor said reaching to draw, "It is time to debut the Ultimate Cyberse."
Suddenly everyone there heard a voice.
"Intrusion Penalty: 2000 Life Points."
"Huh?" they turned over to see what happened.
It was Nyx only she looked scared as Windy emerged from her Duel Disk.
"I'm done just watching, this is my fight more than any of yours." Windy stated.
(Nyx: 2000)
"Nyx?" Playmaker asked in shock.
"Windy..." Emperor said seeing his Ignis.
"Sota... because of me you suffered so much." Windy whispered. "I promise though, I'll make up for that right now. I'll free you from King's control."
Emperor watched before nodding, "Understood."
Nyx 1st Turn:
Nyx drew her card before looking at Emperor's field and hand. All he has is The World Legacy with 7 Counters. She looked at her hand before Playmaker noticed her eyes widen.
"I set one card and that's all." Nyx said quietly.
"That's it?" Soulburner asked at that.
Playmaker, Soulburner, Specter, Elsa, & Skystar: 6000
Nyx: 2000
Emperor: 0500
Emperor 6th Turn:
While also looking confused Emperor shrugged, "My turn, I draw! And this time nothing stops it!"
Everyone looked at him nervously.
"I activate the effect of The World Legacy!" Emperor called as his spell glowed bright.
Unaware at that same moment King was watching the match as he smirked, "Finally. It's time for the reign of the Ultimate Cyberse to be known... Yes, Emperor! Show them true terror!"
A circuit appeared just as seven balls of light showing the Counters appeared before two fused together flying up entering the Top-Left, Left, Bottom, Right, Top-Right, and Top.
Ai stared in disbelief. "No way, that's impossible! He can't have a Link six monster!"
Windy quickly called to Nyx, "Nyx, quick while you still have a chance! We don't know what this thing can do so you better have it activated so that they can last a round!"
She blinked before quickly nodding. "I play my trap, Nymph's Blood!"
Nymph's Blood
Normal Trap Card
(Effects to be revealed)
"What the...?" Emperor asked hearing that as they looked over.
"Nymph's Blood let's all five of us use materials from our Deck, Hand, Extra Deck, or Graveyard to perform a Link Summon." Playmaker answered looking down. "Then we take no damage until the end of the turn."
"Sounds powerful... Suppose there's a catch?" Specter asked her.
Nyx just looked down.
"Well if it's against this Cyberse alright!" Soulburner called as Pyro Phoenix flew up along with Dryantrentiay, Elsa summoning Bubble Reef, Skystar calling a Link Monster called Arcana Extra Joker, and Playmaker using Darkfluid.
They noticed though that Playmaker looked hesitant to summon his monster.
"Nymph's Blood has one other effect." Nyx mentioned before running and hugging Playmaker. "I take 100 points of damage times those monster's Link Ratings."
"Wait what!?" Elsa asked shocked hearing that.
"Hold on, but that would mean..." Soulburner started nervously.
"Three of us summoned Link four monsters, Playmaker summoned his Link five, and Skystar summoned a Link three monster." Specter noted. "A total Link Ranking of 20."
"And that's... 2000 points of damage!" Earth cried shocked.
"Nyx!" Flame cried in shock hearing that.
Playmaker hugged her close.
(Nyx: 0000)
To their shock when her points are gone she vanished in pixels which takes even Emperor off guard.
"Nyx?" Playmaker asked in shock before glaring at Emperor. "What have you done?"
"I didn't do anything." Emperor said honestly, "If I didn't know any better that was King."
"Where is he?" Playmaker questioned coldly.
"I'll take you to him once you earn it. Nothing personal just a force function he put on me." Emperor answered before raising his arm, "And now get ready!"
They tensed at the circuit.
"Originator of the Universe! Be reborn anew, and grace the power of the Divines! Creation! Destruction! Take these forms as your own to shape the Universe as man desires! Link Summon! Link 6! The World Originator,-"
He suddenly paused looking over at his right.
"What now?" Ai questioned.
Emperor stared before widening his eyes, "King's in trouble..."
He turned back stating, "I'm sorry, but I can't continue this duel! I must leave!"
The cards vanished as he took off on a green Duel Board.
Playmaker, Soulburner, Specter, Elsa, & Skystar: 6000
Nyx: 0000
Emperor: 0500
Duel Ended with No Result.
"No you don't!" Playmaker growled racing after him.
"Playmaker!" Soulburner cried as they all raced after him.
Earlier...
King in a ruined castle tower which looks like a Throne Room was typing in some stuff before stopping narrowing his eyes, "So... the most sadistic student of Duel Academy shows his head here."
Violet Prince along with Moon Dancer was behind him.
"You must be King." Violet Prince noted calmly. "I take it you know that I'm Playmaker's father then?"
"Of course since Zaizen likes to keep secrets." King said turning around as whatever he's typing vanished, "Such a shame really, I'd admired his work, and he was a promising employee that is suppose to take over SOL Tech one day. But him teaming up with you all had robbed that future from him. So permit me to ask... Why exactly do you intend to battle us since the one's who had your son put up with the Hanoi Project were the Knights of Hanoi?"
"Let's just say... we shed some light on what really happened." Violet Prince smirked before turning to Moon Dancer. "I think I'll duel him myself."
Moon Dancer nodded at this as King narrowed his eyes, "Don't think that you can win Yuri. Even if you defeat me, Emperor is still around with his near complete state as Link VRAINS' new God, and the one who will lead SOL into a new era."
"We shall see..." King started before looking up at his left, "And speak of the devil."
At that someone rode in as his board vanished landing beside King standing up revealing it's Emperor with his mask off, and only one orb not having a chess symbol.
"I suppose that it isn't complete?" King asked him.
Emperor shook his head answering, "I had sensed that you were in trouble."
"Bah, I don't need your help Sota. But you can sit, and watch how a CEO of SOL fights." King told him turning back to Violet Prince.
"Permit me if I may ask..." King turned to Emperor who asked, "Did you plan all of this?"
"Hm?" King looked curious at this.
"Starting off with covering the Hanoi Project, having the Inner Circle do your dirty work, and having me be an exact copy of you only if your gone?" Emperor asked him.
King only chuckled shaking his head taking his shoulders, "Sota, my boy. I'm not turning you into me. I'm only teaching you how to run the most superior company as my successor. I mean that is what your destined to be aren't you?"
Emperor only stayed silent looking down as they hear something approaching looking over. They all turned to see what it was. It was Playmaker, and the rest.
"Playmaker, what's going on?" Moon Dancer asked seeing all of them only to pause. "Wait, where's Nyx?"
"King did something." Playmaker glared.
"Hm? Nyx? I have no idea what your talking about." King said to him.
"My sister." Playmaker growled.
"Nope sorry doesn't ring a bell." King stated simply shrugging without a care.
Violet Prince glared at King hearing that. "Moon Dancer, I think I have one more card in me."
"Very well... Sota." Emperor turned to King who said, "Watch son as you will witness to how your father smites the enemies of SOL Technologies once, and for all."
"What?" Soulburner asked in horror. "You put your own son through that?"
King narrowed his eyes in a hateful stare, "Don't you talk like that. But to clear the confusion what you all heard is correct. Sota Tarumaki, also known as Emperor my greatest creation, and the God of Link VRAINS... Is also my only son, the heir of SOL Techologies!"
Emperor only stepped back a little looking down clenching his fists.
"Somehow that does not surprise me." Varis mentioned with a hateful glare.
"And of course you, and your pops are to blame for putting Sota through the Hanoi Project. Ever since what happened he had been swaying from his path to be SOL's Successor, and soon nearly came to being obsolete." King stated glaring at Varis, "As a father, I worry over what this could mean for the company if he's unable to take over, or what kind of future it results in. So I had to fix the problem the hard way. By transforming him into what you see now. And from there he has became SOL Tech's greatest asset, and most valuable employee. My only regret though is not making sure you, and him do not pay the price from me personally but... I had to let go of that since it would risk SOL getting into more trouble then it has been."
"Are you finished?" Violet Prince questioned.
"Not even close." King stated, "From what I learned of the Hanoi Project, I soon realized that the Ignis will help lead Sota to a new era, and had made him ready to wielding the true Ultimate Cyberse ever known. The Ignis will see him as their master since he is not only SOL's CEO but also the one who has mastered the true capabilities of the Cyberse. And it is where he will carry my legacy, Aku Tarumaki, also known as King the one who had started the most superior company in the world. And there is nothing you all can do to stop that from happening."
Violet Prince stared at him in disgust. "So instead of helping your son get over a traumatic experience and be supportive you instead turned him into your puppet so you could live on after death?"
"I wouldn't call it that." King chuckled darkly rubbing Emperor's head who didn't look up or anything, "I did helped him get over what the Hanoi put him through... In the simplest way possible of course. By making him forget it, and face it head on."
"You are one sick disgusting human being." Elsa glared unable to believe someone like King existed.
"Hmm... It's not often I'm complimented like that. After all it's just business, and business is business. That's all in a day's work." King stated simply turning back to them, "Surly you all wanted to forget hard experiences by simply part blanking your memory during the Dimensional War that happened years ago didn't you? People turning into cards, Parasites stuck in your head, a Demon Duelist destroying everything?"
Violet Prince looked down before just starting to laugh.
"And what do tell is humorous?" King asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Forget? Let me tell you something Aku, not one person involved in the Dimensional War would take the same cowardly method you did." Violet Prince told him coldly. "We'll never forget what happened, no matter how painful the memories are."
"And that is why your downfall is inevitable. By letting the past be remembered you are letting in the way for what you can truly do." King stated simply to him, "Why stick with the past when the future can be achieved?"
"You don't even know all the things that happened!" Magician yelled which made King look over, "Yes those memories are painful but that's what being human is about! By not having a past or the experiences you have you are ridding yourself of the things that happened in life that needed to be remembered cause it holds serious lessons you might learn."
"And that's suppose to matter to me how?" King asked.
"From when I nearly lost Zuzu for good... And nearly taken over by Zarc's influence... There are some stuff best left remembered!" Magician yelled at that.
"And some things are better left forgotten." King replied nonchalantly.
"Yuri's right, the memories can be painful... I still remember what happened to my home, the heartache of knowing Dennis betrayed us and being separated from Yuto and Shay." Songbird mentioned looking down before glaring at King. "But even though it hurts I can't forget what happened, otherwise I won't be able to move forward with my friends and the people I love."
"Tch we're getting nowhere... It's clear that we aren't gonna avoid a battle." King stated simply.
"Indeed. The last battle you will ever have." Violet Prince stated hearing that.
King narrowed his eyes, "Be quiet Yuri. Your annoying, and you defied my rule, and Emperor's place. And for that the punishment is death which I'll be happy to deliver onto you personally."
As he said that his Duel Disk is turned on as Emperor stepped back.
"Everyone, I'm sorry." Violet Prince told them as he activated his Duel Disk. "When this is over... you'll have to relive one of those painful memories."
They all nodded knowing what that is.

"2500 points, but fortunately for me your monster is in the Extra Monster Zone so you can't use Judgement Arrows." Violet Prince noted calmly.
"Of course I know that. Things take time of course so patience is a virtue." King stated at that crossing his arms, "I set one card, and end my turn."
Violet Prince 1st Turn:
Violet Prince drew his card and smirked. "I summon Predaplant Spinodionaea in attack mode."

After damage calculation, if this card battled a monster with an equal or lower Level: You can Special Summon 1 "Predaplant" monster from your Deck, except "Predaplant Spinodionaea".
"When this monster is summoned I can place a Predator Counter on one of your monsters."
With that said a small plant bit Longirsu.
Longrisu: (Predator Counter: 1)
"Now then, since you have a monster with a Predator Counter I can sacrifice it to summon Predaplantn Banksiogre from my hand." Violet Prince stated as King's only monster vanished.

ATK: 2000
DEF: 100
You can Special Summon this card (from your hand) by Tributing 1 opponent's monster with a Predator Counter. If this card is sent from the field to the GY: Place 1 Predator Counter on each face-up monster your opponent controls, and if you do, any of those monsters that are Level 2 or higher become Level 1 as long as they have a Predator Counter.
King only narrowed his eyes seeing that, "Hm... My best guess is that you were also saving that kind of move for Judgement Arrows?"
"It would work." Violet Prince smirked. "Of course, next I'll use Polymerization to merge my two Predaplants together."
Polymerization
Normal Spell Card
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.
The two monsters entered the Fusion Vortex.
"Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!"

If this card is Fusion Summoned: You can make this card gain ATK equal to 1 opponent's Special Summoned monster, until the end of this turn. Once per turn: You can target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; until the End Phase, this card's name becomes that monster's original name, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects. If this Fusion Summoned card is destroyed: You can destroy all your opponent's Special Summoned monsters.
His dragon appeared roaring loud.
"Starving Venom, attack King directly!" Violet Prince called.
The dragon stood watch attacking as King stood on taking the blast. (King: 1200)
"I set one card and end my turn." Violet Prince stated calmly.
"Tch. Your playing into my hand quite easily Yuri. I'm not as dumb as I look." King stated simply to him, "During your End Phase, Babel's effect allows me to use Cymbal Skeleton's effect right now! It revives an Orcust from my graveyard!"
Longirsu raised up as Ai asked confused, "Huh? Hey why did he wait until he got damaged to do that instead of reducing the damage?"
"Why else? He is looking for Marker's Portal, and if his Link Monster is gone before he can get the chance then it would be more of a liability then an aid." Lightning pointed out to him.
Violet Prince frowned at that.
Violet Prince: 4000
King: 1200
King 2nd Turn:
"My turn draw!" King called drawing looking to see Judgment Arrows, "There is one thing that I am different about. Unlike my comrades, I don't use Skills in a Master Duel. I may be the hot shot of SOL but I ain't a cheater."
"I take it that means you drew it then?" Violet Prince inquired.
"Of course." King said revealing his drawn card before calling, "Appear the arrows that judge the world! Judgement Arrows!"
The Link Spell appeared in place.
Judgment Arrows
Link Spell Card
Link Markers: Top-Left, Top, Top-Right
If a Link Monster this card points to battles, its ATK becomes double its current ATK during damage calculation only. When this card leaves the field while it points to a monster(s), destroy all those monsters. You can only control 1 "Judgement Arrows", and only in your Spell & Trap Zone a Link Monster points to.
Lightning looked down seeing the spell.
"That doubles the attack points of your Link Monster." Violet Prince noted calmly.
"Like now. Longrisu!" King called as Longirsu charged in, "Judgement Arrows' effect activates!"
Longirsu: (ATK: 2500 x 2 = 5000)
"Just remember what happens when you destroy Starving Venom." Violet Prince mentioned as his dragon was destroyed.
(Violet Prince: 1800)
"Oh I'm not that idiotic. Since, Longrisu is linked your Dragon's Destruction does nothing." King revealed with a smirk.
Violet Prince's eyes widened in shock. "What?"
"Never forget I'm always a step ahead." King stated simply to him.
Longirsu: (ATK: 5000 / 2 = 2500)
"So now display to us your next move." King said to him ending his turn.
Violet Prince 2nd turn:
Violet Prince drew his card. "I reveal Fusion Recovery, this brings Polymerization and Banksiogre back from the graveyard to my hand. Then, I'll use Polymerization to merge Banksiogre with the token you gave me in order to Fusion Summon Predaplant Chimerafflesia."
Predaplant Chimerafflesia

Once per turn: You can target 1 monster on the field with a Level less than or equal to this card's; banish it. When an attack is declared involving this card and an opponent's face-up monster: You can activate this effect; until the end of this turn, that opponent's monster loses 1000 ATK, and if it does, this card gains 1000 ATK. Once per turn, during the next Standby Phase after this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can add 1 "Polymerization" Spell Card or "Fusion" Spell Card from your Deck to your hand.
"Then, I'll summon Predaplant Squid Drosera in attack mode."
Predaplant Squid Drosera

If this face-up card leaves the field: Place 1 Predator Counter on each Special Summoned monster your opponent controls, and if you do, any of those monsters that are Level 2 or higher become Level 1 as long as they have a Predator Counter.
"Gather a bunch more riff-raff there useless." King stated simply.
Violet Prince looked down. "Chimerafflesia attack Longirsu, the Orcust Orchestrator."
The Plant monster growled charging in as King shrugged, "Alright if you want a suicidal attack!"
Longirsu readied but before Judgement Arrows can give it strength it knelled down weakened which caught King, and Emperor by surprise, "What?"
"Oh, did I forget to mention Chimerafflesia's ability? When it battles your monster Chimerafflesia gains 1000 attack points while your monster loses 1000 points."
Predaplant Chimerafflesia: (ATK: 2500 + 1000 = 3500)
Longirsu: (ATK: 2500 - 1000 = 1500)
Eyes widening in shock at that King watched in shock as Longirsu gained power. (ATK: 1500 x 2 = 3000)
Even with the boost the Fusion Monster destroyed Longirsu as King stumbled back shocked. (King: 0700)
"Alright! He's in a playoff!" Ai cheered seeing this.
"So... That's your intent! You had made my monster weaker then your's." King said now glaring deep at Violet Prince.
"Exactly, Judgement Arrows is a dangerous and powerful card but it has a flaw. One that both Melodic Angel and I could exploit." Violet Prince revealed. "Now, Predaplant Squid Drosera finish this duel. Attack King directly!"
"Alright get done in!" Ai grinned as Squid Drosera charged in.
Quickly thinking King clapped his hands as a bright light started to emit from him.
"What is he doing?" Moon Dancer questioned.
King cried out as they watched surprised as something formed in front of him in a silhouette. The silhouette softly landed it's feet on the ground to stand up before the faded revealing her identity...
Lilly who looks frightened.
"Lilly?" Violet Prince asked in shock.
"D-Daddy?" Lilly asked blinking before King took the back of her shirt raising her up startling, "Ah! Hey! Let me go! Let me go!"
Ignoring her struggles King glared at Violet Prince as Playmaker growled, "What have you done?"
"I just linked my consciousness to your daughter Yuri." King smirked to him, "If you defeat me now then she dies too!"
"What?" Violet Prince asked shocked.
"If I'm going down then I'm taking her with me. That is if you have the strength, and courage to do that of course." King smirked madly to him.
Violet Prince stared in horror at them before looking down. "I... surrender."
Playmaker widen his eyes, "Dad no!"
"I'm not hurting my daughter... if that means I end up dead then fine." Violet Prince told him. "Unlike King, I care about my children."
"Dad you can't just give up like that! If he thinks he can use Lilly as a way to save himself then you gotta find a way to rescue her in this match!" Playmaker told him.
Moon Dancer put her hand on his shoulder and shook her head with tears. "There's nothing we can do Yusaku."
"Yes there is!" Playmaker told her, "There's gotta be something!"
"That's enough Yusaku!" Violet Prince shouted. "It's over."
"Or perhaps you like to take your Dad's place then?" King asked Playmaker.
"Daddy..." Lilly choked out while trembling in fear.
Playmaker grunted before saying, "Hang on Lilly, I'll-"
"Wait."
Hearing that they looked too Emperor who said that who now has a different look in his eyes.
"What do you want, going to help your father?" Hyperdrive questioned.
"From the stuff that had happened in my childhood since the Incident you had done things I wouldn't even dare to imagine." Emperor stated to King.
"Sota?" King asked him at him.
Emperor closed his eyes, "This crosses the line. You stated before that it's not worth knowing what ants you crush along the way for business, and that anyone who gets in the way are worthless. But I had figured out that it's not true. I'm not like you, father. I'm disappointed by the way you become... This goes far enough!"
He snapped his eyes open as King stumbled before saying, "Sota hang on a second-"
"I'll make sure she isn't harmed." Emperor interrupted raising his hand as it glowed.
Something from King started glowing, "What?" He then started grunting looking horrified as data flew from him to Emperor.
"Are they having a falling out?" Ai asked seeing this.
King glared, "Sota...!" He reached his hand trying to take the data back but Emperor stated, "You can't. From giving me numerous codes, and taking the data of the Inner Circle you can no longer meddle with me."
King glared before Lilly vanished from his hand only to appear in Emperor's arm in a comforting way as he stated to the Lancers, "There are no more hostages... Father defeat Yuri using your own skills."
King glared at this before Emperor told Lilly, "Go ahead, and head back. I'm sorry what you just went through."
She looked incredibly scared of him before running and hugging Moon Dancer.
"Lilly!" Moon Dancer, and Playmaker hugged her tight.
Meanwhile King super pissed turned to Emperor, "Sota you little-!"
"I did what was right. Something you can't think to do. You care more about yourself, and your selfish desires." Emperor stated to him bluntly which shut King up glaring, "Now I believe you have a losing duel to get back too."
Hearing that King turned over to Violet Prince. Violet Prince was staring at King before he smirked. "Squid Drosera, attack."
The Plant monster continued it's charge as King stared in horror before being struck landing hard beside Emperor.
Violet Prince: 1800
King: 0000
Violet Prince wins the duel!
Violet Prince approached him with a cold glare. "Now then, I believe I was going to create one final card."
Emperor kneeled over him, "Father..."
"Sota... Even though, I had fallen... You still carry your weight as I intended for you... Now help me please..." King slowly pleaded.
Emperor stared before saying, "Even though we never seen eye to eye, and you often brag being the best despite you never dueling much you still carried out to the end for your dreams. Maybe one day SOL will be a great company but not the way you think."
"Then... I give you... everything..." King reached a hand to him which Emperor stared before taking it which disbursed King into gold sparkles as Emperor closed his eyes as he absorbed the sparkles as the middle orb gained a King Chess Piece which made all the orbs glowed as he stood up.
He slowly stood up before saying to Playmaker who stared with the Lancers, "And now Playmaker... I finally achieved my full potential..."
He then turned over pointing to Playmaker declaring, "And now the final battle is about to begin!"
They stared on watching.
Ulrich362: Well... that can't be good.
bopdog111: Emperor now has his God Mode that King intended for him.
Ulrich362: Can Playmaker take him down, if past matches are any indication... maybe not?
bopdog111: Right now let's have faith.
Ulrich362: True, because one way or the other... the final battle is about to begin. See you in the next chapter.
