Lonely and desolate was the campus of Sagakin University. On sidewalks where once roamed cheery students there were piles upon piles of corpses which had been mutilated in horrid ways. The grass, trees and bushes had been reduced to dried up weeds. Busts, fountains and other modest monuments had been toppled or cracked by the crazed denizens in honor of their new ruler. The main entrance doors were wide open, welcoming Hajime and his friends to an empty dark corridor, its silence ever so deafening.
"I can't believe what's happened to this place. Just a week ago we were attending courses here..." Lori mused, still unable to accept how much Sagakin had changed.
"My life has been in constant change since Ken was murdered," Hajime sternly reminded her. "If we ever want things to return to normal, you know what must be done."
"You're definitely sure he's here? This place seems totally abandoned."
"Shishima had been haunting the college's general area ever since the murders started. Where else could he be?"
"Right here!" a third voice shouted from behind.
The two looked behind and saw Borof swooping down on plush wings from the sky. Lori took Jack and fell back towards the grass while Hajime avoided the blade of Borof's bone scythe, their attacker flying into the deserted building.
"Are you alright?" asked the blond.
"Yes, if this freak's standing in our way, then Shishima must definitely be close by!" the redhead reasoned back.
"Fools, did you think that the master would still be wasting time at your little school for adults?" Borof flew out of the corridor, a grin of utter insanity and sadism on his face as he readied the scythe for another attack. "Demon Subaru-sama is currently busy performing a ritual at the city hall. Once that is completed, mankind's fate will be sealed!"
"That's a couple of blocks from here, we won't make it in time!" Hajime told Lori, who gently placed the unconscious Jack on the grass.
"You go ahead, I'll throw this plushie to the garbage where he belongs, then we'll join you there," the girl assured him as she took out her deck.
"So you wish to challenge me to a duel?" Borof cackled uncontrollably as he put his weapon away and also fetched a deck from his jacket. "You don't realize what a mistake you've made. A death by my scythe's blade would've been much swifter!"
"Lori..." Hajime gazed at her with concern, but a short nod assured him that she was in control of the situation. "Good luck!" he wished her and set off towards the city hall.
Two dueling tables arose from the ground between the opponents. Both set their cards on them and thus five blue shields materialized above each, marking the beginning of their duel.
"I summon Minomi, Greedy Young Magician." A blue merfolk dressed in a white magician suit and holding a golden staff appeared by Lori's side. "With his effect, I check the top three cards of my deck and take a spell into my hand. I'll take Big Bang Flare, the rest will go to the bottom of my deck."
"I summon Linkwood, Explosive Dragon Edge." A young humanoid with long red hair and dressed in a white kimono appeared by Borof's side. "With his effect, I reveal the top card of my deck. If it's a Dragon or Draguner, it goes into my hand. The top card is... Glenira, Dragon Edge, which goes into my hand!"
"I summon Xenoshark, Crystal Record." A blue anthropomorphic shark wielding a crystal staff appeared next to the merfolk in magician's clothes.
"A Twinpact that has Crystal Memory as its spell side? Very interesting!" Borof remarked. "My turn, I summon Glenira, Dragon Edge and equip her with Beginning Start, Initial Dragon Tool." A young female humanoid with long pink hair which covered her eyes appeared, dressed in a white and purple kimono, three swords by her waist which were colored golden, black and red. She reached for the sky and a white metallic glove with a white angelic wing and a black demonic wing on each side descended from a hole and fitted perfectly onto her hand. "Beginning Start gives blocker to the equipped creature if it has the Light civilization, slayer if it has the Darkness civilization and also grants +2000 power when battling if it has the Fire civilization. Since Glenira is Light Darkness Fire, she gains all three abilities! More so, Beginning Start makes all of my Draguners cost 1 mana less."
"Is that a Draguner deck?" Lori spoke in disbelief. "But that race is irrelevant nowadays!"
"We'll see how irrelevant they are, woman. Linkwood, attack and... Invasion! I evolve both Linkwood and Glenira into Deadman=the=Original, Dragon Edge Dragon!" The two humanoids fused together and transformed into a bipedal eyeless green dragon who wore a fur loincloth, a belt of skulls, and wielded an axe in the hand which still had the metallic glove. "With Deadman's effect, I bring out Draghearts which cost 3 or less for each card under him. Since I evolved him on two creatures, I equip him with a second Beginning Start and also with Proto Gigaheart, Invincible Sword!" A metallic glove appeared on his other hand, alongside a sharp blue sword with constellations depicted on its blade. "Deadman, double break her shields!" Heeding the order, the creature rushed at the opponent and hacked away two shields with the axe and sword.
"Shield trigger, I cast Dondon Vacuuming Now!" the redhead announced and quickly checked the top five cards of her deck. "I take Crash Head, Victorious Dragon Armored into my hand and send Deadman back into your hand!"
"Hah, you'd wish! When the creature equipped with Proto Gigaheart would leave the battle zone by the effect of one of your creatures or spells, I Dragsolution instead and the creature stays!" The sword was tossed in the air and it transformed into a blue-armored dragon with a flaming mane, still wielding said weapon. "Ohginga Zero, Strongest Dragon! I end my turn and since I brought out another Dragheart, I also Dragsolution both Beginning Starts into Final the End, Finishing Heaven Dragon!" Borof announced and the two metallic gloves were also tossed in the sky and each transformed into a white-armored dragon, a black demonic wing and a white angelic wing on each of their backs. "Final the End is a 7000 power blocker, slayer, it gains +2000 when battling and makes all my Draguners cost 2 mana less."
"Don't think you can intimidate me with your fancy spam! From the looks of it, Deadman and those two blockers all cost 5, right? Then I summon Shuff, Eureka and choose 5, now they can't attack or block until the start of my next turn!" A blue robot dressed in a suit appeared and tossed a playing card at the three creatures, binding them to the ground temporarily. "I attack with Xenoshark and Smash Burst, I cast Crystal Memory." Lori checked her deck and immediately added a second Big Bang Flare into her hand, after which the anthropomorphic shark rushed headfirst into one of he opposing shields. "I end my turn."
"With the cost reduction from both my Final the Ends, all of my Draguners now cost 4 mana less. In that case, I now summon Glenmalt, Final Dragon Edge by paying only 3 mana!" A humanoid with brown spiky hair appeared, donning a red and blue armor. "I equip Glenmalt with Gaiohburn, Head General Sword which force battles him with Shuff." A sharp flaming sword appeared in his hand and the humanoid immediately rushed and cut the robot into pieces. "Glenmalt is also a speed attacker, so I will use him to take down Xenoshark as well." At Borof's behest, the creature also cut down the shark with his sword, after which he tossed it in the air and it transformed into a red and green flaming dragon. "Since I won two battles this turn, Gaiohburn Dragsolutions into Gairaioh, Victory Head! Hehehe, let's see you get past this army of mine now, woman!"
"Challenge accepted!" the redhead immediately interjected. "I summon Onikamas, Strange Flow. Bad Action Dynamite Spell 2, I discard G.W.D, Rumble Machine and cast Big Bang Flare for 3 mana instead of 5. With its effect, I bring out Crash Head, Victorious Dragon Armored and force battle him with Gairaioh!" A muscular humanoid dressed in a black leather suit with a red cape, holding a red electric guitar and riding a golden tank with a dragon's skull appeared in the battle zone and immediately crushed the flaming dragon underneath his vehicle. "Crash Head, double break his shields!"
"Final the End, block! Since he's a slayer, both die!" The dragon in white armor collided with the golden tank, the resulting impact causing an explosion in which both perished.
"Since Crash Head was destroyed while tapped, I gain an extra turn!" Lori announced with a confident smirk. "I cast another Big Bang Flare and bring out another Crash Head, which force battles Ohginga Zero!" The humanoid riding the tank reappeared and this time ran over the dragon in blue armor. "Crash Head, double break his shields!"
"I block with my other Final the End and both die again!" Once more the two creatures met their demise in an explosion.
"That means I gain another extra turn! But until then, you're out of blockers. Minomi, break his shield! Onikamas, break his shield!" The merfolk and blue anthropomorphic fish both took down opposing shields, using their staff and trident. "Now my other extra turn begins, I summon Goldoza, Gorigan Crusher, who is also a speed attacker." A pink mouse piloting a red tank appeared in the battle zone. "Minomi, break his shield again!"
"Not so fast – shield trigger, I summon Rosia, Final Dragon Edge and equip him with Batorai Edge, Blazing Sword!" An angelic humanoid with long green hair, donning a white and golden armor, a golden helmet with a green visor covering the top of his head, appeared in the battle zone, wielding a black sword with blue runes on its blade, two red dragonic horns above its handle.
"Goldoza, break his final shield!" The red tank rushed through the remaining opposing shield, shattering it to smithereens.
"Shield trigger, I summon Borof, Final Dragon Edge!" The plushie eagerly jumped into the battle zone. "With my effect, I put the top card of my deck into the graveyard and return any card to my hand. I'll salvage... Loveace, Dragon Edge. Then I equip myself with Urovelia, Divine Dragon Spear, which grants me blocker!" Borof reached behind him and pulled out a white spear with pairs of golden ram horns circling it.
"You now have two blockers?! Tsh, I'm not giving up that easily – Goldoza untaps after the first attack. Your blockers have 3500 and 3000, while my creature has 4000! In that case, Goldoza, todomeda!"
"I block the attack with myself!" The plushie rushed in front of the tank and pointed the spear at it, only to be knocked out of the battle zone and back behind the dueling table.
"I end here," the redhead said, reluctantly passing the turn.
Borof burst once more into an uncomfortably insane giggle as he drew his next card. "I sure hope you've enjoyed those extra turns, because you will not have any other! At the start of my turn, I equip Glenmalt with Batogaiheart, Explosive King Sword." The humanoid with spiky hair reached out and a blue sword appeared in his hand, its blade decorated with the stars of the cosmos, a pair of red dragonic horns above its handle. "I summon Loveace, Dragon Edge and equip him with Beginning Start. Whenever I put a Dragheart Weapon into the battle zone, Loveace lets me draw a card. Rosia, attack Minomi! With Batorai Edge's effect, I reveal the top card of my deck, and if it's a non-evolution Human or non-evolution Dragon, I put it into the battle zone for free. The top card is... Nicol Bolas!" The angelic humanoid rushed and cut the merfolk with his sword, while a tall and horned golden dragon with leathery wings, donning a brown metallic armor and with a floating gem between his horns appeared in the battle zone. "With the effect of Nicol Bolas, you must choose and discard seven cards!"
Lori gulped as she tossed all the remaining cards from her hand into her graveyard. "Onikamas's effect, since you put a creature into the battle zone on your turn without summoning it, I send Nicol Bolas back into your hand!" The blue fish tossed its golden trident at the large dragon, making him vanish.
"Still, since I brought out two Dragons this turn, Batogaiheart Dragsolutions into Batogaiginga, Explosive King Deluxe!" The brown-haired humanoid tossed the sword into the sky and it transformed into a blue dragon with red horns and four arms, donning a thick white metallic armor, and holding three swords. "I attack with Batogaiginga, draw a card and bring out another Rosia, whom I equip with Proto Gigaheart."
"Onikamas sends Rosia back!"
"I Dragsolution Proto Gigaheart into Ohginga Zero and Rosia stays. Batogaiginga, break her final shields!"
Lori took cover as the dragon cut down her remaining three shields. She quickly reached and took the cards, then revealed one of them to her opponent and replied, "Shield trigger, I cast Explosion! Hardrack and destroy Deadman! Then Super Shield Trigger, I check the top five cards of my deck and bring out Crash Head, Victorious Dragon Armored, whom I battle with your Glenmalt! Crash Head may have 9000 power, but he gets +5000 when battling!"
"Well too bad, because Glenmalt has 6000 power and gets +3000 more for each Dragheart I have in the battle zone!" Borof smugly replied and started counting them. "Beginning Start, Batorai Edge and Batogaiginga, that means he now has 15000 power, more than your Crash Head!"
"Oh no..."
"Glenmalt, todomeda!"
Before she knew it, Lori was swiftly punched in the face by the Human Baku, throwing her away and having her crash unconscious next to her boyfriend. The creatures all disappeared, marking the end of the duel. The giggling plushie packed his cards and walked to the unconscious couple. How he wanted to skin them alive with his scythe, but he had to postpone the plans of torture, as the time of the ritual had come and he had to witness it. Spreading his wings large, he took off into the sky.
In front of the city hall, four people were gathered in front of the building. Demon Subaru stood encircled by the three girls, trying to not be overtaken by the excitement. In a matter of minutes, once he completed the ritual and successfully invoked All Over The World, not only would he finally have the power to shed his human skin and fully access his true daiyoukai form, but he would once again have access to the creature's own powers over existence, thereby completing his inevitable ascent to godhood. Shinobu stood with Whitey and Bluenika in her hands, equally excited for her master to finally rise and bring a new order to mankind's rotting society. Then her talents would finally be recognized by those who mattered and she would be in the top position she had always deserved.
Sayo stood with Blacko and Reddull in her hands, unable to control her body for the time being. No matter how hard she internally struggled to counter Demon Subaru's magic, it was too strong. She mentally blamed herself for lowering her guard down at the wrong time, which allowed him to bite her neck and have access to her youkai blood while in that weak form. What frustrated her even more was that he did not even have the courtesy to politely ask that she partake in the ritual. Then again, in no circumstances would she have accepted such an offer. Not even if the lives of Hajime and his friends were threatened, as she had to consider the consequences on the long run. If her former lover's plan were to succeed, it would only feed his ego and delusions of grandeur further, meaning that her future attempts at changing him would be futile.
Demon Sora stood with Greene and a fake copy of All Over The World in her hands. Her mind had been in a mostly blank state ever since she woke up and followed her master's instructions to channel energy into the counterfeit pieces of All Over The World. After being in trance for what seemed like forever, she hoped that once the ritual was complete she could get some actual rest. As the ceremony began, all five original pieces began to glow with their respective colors. She closed her eyes and focused on the mana coming from each card, using the fakes as a vessel to safely invoke the actual creature. Pulses echoed in her ears, no different from those of heartbeats.
"He never cared about you..." whispered a voice in her head. Images of her friends flashed in her mind, she saw them all young, then growing old, their lives passing in the span of a few seconds. "He killed them all..." A sudden flash, then all of her friends were mangled corpses and Edo was young again, but with demon wings coming out of his back. "Will you let him get away with this?!"
It all came back to her, as sudden as a lightning strike. The memories which Demon Subaru had tried to suppress from her head had all resurfaced. She remembered the illusions which he used to feed her and Demon Edo in order to keep them loyal. Then she remembered how she rebelled against him, as well as her partner's corpse being burned in an alleyway. Through clenched fangs, Demon Sora growled at her master, "Enough!" The five original pieces fired beams right into the copy ones, the demonized girl receiving all the power instead of the hooded fiend. What followed was a giant explosion.
When he regained clarity, Demon Subaru found that the surrounding area had been set on fire. Shinobu and Sayo lay unconscious on the road with slight burns on their clothes and faces, the latter now free of his control. Floating above them all was Demon Sora, who was surrounded by an aura which flashed violently with all of the rainbow's colors. That could only mean one thing – she claimed All Over The World's power for herself. Even worse, the original Greene was still in her claws.
"So she's betrayed me again," Demon Subaru mused as he picked up the other four pieces. He tossed his jacket away to make a pair of demonic wings grow out of his back, after which he flew to face the unexpected traitor. "Keh, what a smart plan you had, Demon Sora. Too bad you don't know what to do with all this power."
"You..." She glared at him, foaming at the mouth, her piercing glare betraying her thirst for bloodshed. "I'll... kill... you!"
"Woah, calm down there. If you put more thought into what you've seen, you would know that I have the best intentions for all of you," he replied with a reasonable tone, but she would have none of it. Demon Sora took out her deck and made two dueling tables float in the air above them, her cards already set, her shields already materialized. "So you're not willing to listen. Have it your way then." Demon Subaru also fetched his deck and accepted her challenge, his own shields appearing as well.
"I cast Treasure Map, check the top five cards of my deck and add Jasmine, Mist Faerie to hand."
"I summon BloodRayne, Start Dash." A humanoid with cowboy features and a giant reptile skeleton on its right arm appeared by Demon Subaru's side.
"I summon Jasmine, Mist Faerie and destroy her to put the top card of my deck to the mana zone. Then I cast another Treasure Map, check the top five cards of my deck again and add Ochappi, Pure Hearted Faerie to my hand."
"I summon Vader, Dark Armor." A knight in a metallic pale brown armor, with a horned skeletal helmet and wielding a shield, appeared next to the cowboy. "I end my turn and with Vader's effect I put the top card of my deck into the graveyard. If it's a creature, I draw a card." Demon Subaru smiled as Hellborof, Supreme Dragon Edge fell into his graveyard, allowing him to draw.
"I summon Ochappi and put Jasmine from my graveyard into the mana zone." A Snow Faerie with orange hair appeared, wielding a white staff. "Then I summon another Jasmine and destroy her to ramp again. Lastly, I cast Treasure Map again, check the top five cards of my deck and add Sasoris, Dragon Edge into my hand!"
"I summon Ninjariban, Dragon Edge and equip him with Migawari, Nightmare Swastika." A blue ninja plushie appeared with a large red shuriken in his hands, after which Vader caused another Ninjariban to fall into his owner's graveyard, allowing him to draw another card.
"You," Demon Sora pointed at her opponent, "tried to pose as our friend and said you'd protect us... from whatever the hell this 'Twilight Kingdom' is, and yet you still killed all of my friends! You even had the nerve to hide your murder of Edo from me! I just knew you couldn't be trusted! My turn, I summon Sasoris, Dragon Edge and equip her with Boaroaxe, Evil Tomahawk!" A green squirrel donning a white mask appeared, wielding a silver axe. "With Boaroaxe's effect, I bring out Marinyan, Dragon Edge, which also brings out Reddull, Dragon Soul Castle." A pink-haired teenage girl wearing cat idol clothes appeared, followed by a Japanese style red castle with flaming swords at its edges. "Reddull gives Sasoris speed attacker, so I attack with her and Boaroaxe brings out another Marinyan from my mana zone, who in turn brings out Whitey, Dragon Soul Church." A second catgirl with pink hair appeared, this one followed by a floating golden church with a dragon's head above its entrance. "Whitey freezes Vader. Now go, Sasoris, break his shield!" The squirrel rushed at the opponent and cut down one of his shields with the silver axe, after which the turn was ended.
"I cast Monte Scale Sign and revive Hellborof, Supreme Dragon Edge, who brings out Welcome Hell, Supreme Devil King Palace." A horned and winged purple wold plushie dressed in a black jacket and wielding a bone scythe appeared, causing Spiner, Shock Doctor and Jenny, the Dismantling Doll to fall into their owner's graveyard. After the plushie came a winged demonic palace. "Welcome Hell revives Jenny, which discards the last card in your hand." Demon Subaru smiled as he saw Gyogyou, Revolutionkind land into his opponent's graveyard. "I end my turn and Vader mills Ninjariban, letting me draw again. Then I destroy BloodRayne, Jenny, Vader and Ninjariban, the latter staying, to Dragsolution both Deathgoros, Supreme Devil Corrupt King and Utsusemihenge, Blame Demon Dragon!" The winged palace fired a beam on the four creatures, out of which only the ninja plushie survived, after which it broke open, revealing the Demon Command Dragon sealed inside, who wielded his own bone scythe. The red shuriken also transformed into a winged black and blue dragon made of plush, the weapon now on his chest. "Deathgoros destroys both Sasoris and Marinyan!"
"When Sasoris is destroyed, she goes to the mana zone."
"Demon Sora, I wasn't lying about the Twilight Kingdom! You're just not listening to my words, it's like you're distracted by all this power you stole. Or did anyone tell you something fishy?"
"I'm not distracted, All Over The World showed me the truth you've been hiding from us, you fucking liar! I cast Euru=Bucca, Antique Dragon Ruins and send both Hellborof and Deathgoros to your mana zone."
"Dragon Evade, Deathgoros flips back to Welcome Hell. My turn, I summon Luginus, Dragon Armored Doctor, which revives a second Ninjariban, Dragon Edge, who also brings out Reddull, Dragon Soul Castle." A surgeon with six arms wearing the fossil of Babelginus appeared alongside another blue ninja plushie. "Reddull gives Ninjariban speed attacker, so I attack with him and Welcome Hell revives a third Ninjariban, who also brings out Bluenika, Dragon Soul Fortress, which allows me to draw a card. Ninjariban, break her shield! Utsusemihenge, double break her shields!" The ninja and dragon plushies both rushed at the opponent and took down three of her shields.
"Shield trigger, I cast Euru=Bucca, Antique Dragon Ruins and send both untapped Ninjaribans to your mana zone. Now my turn, I summon Sasoris Rage, Terror Dragon Edge, put the top card of my deck to the mana zone, and equip her with Boaroaxe, Evil Tomahawk!" A green squirrel with long hair, donning a white mask and a tribal suit appeared in the battle zone while wielding a silver axe. "Boaroaxe brings Marinyan from my mana zone, who in turn brings out Blacko, Dragon Soul Palace and makes you discard a card." A purple demonic palace with a dragon head above its entrance appeared while Demon Subaru nonchalantly tossed Honenbe, Skeletal Guardian into his graveyard. "I end my turn, Ochappi costs 3, both Marinyans cost 5, Sasoris Rage costs 8, so I Dragsolution Boaroaxe into Boaropagos, Evil Emperor Ruins." The silver axe was tossed into the skies and it transformed into a green ruin with three dinosaur heads.
"I summon Bochiborof, Aloof Fighter." The purple wolf plushie with long hair appeared, causing Deadzone, S-Rank Zombie, Tigernitro, Explosive Devil and Falconer, Lightfang Ninja to land in his owner's graveyard, the latter of which went back into his hand. "Then I summon Time Tripper, Shadow of Stagnation." A fat white ghost with four arms and a giant mouth in its stomach also appeared. "Luginus, attack and revive Tigernitro, Explosive Devil, then break her final shields!"
Demon Sora braced for impact as the surgeon brought down her remaining two shields. She immediately took the cards into her hand, tossed Jaberu, Snow Faerie into the graveyard and said, "Strike Back – I summon Ochappi from my hand and put Marinyan from my graveyard into my mana zone. With the effect of Boaropagos, since I summoned a creature from my hand, I put a Nature creature from my mana zone into the battle zone, so I bring out Marinyan alongside Greene, Dragon Soul Ruins and ramp one." A green ruined building with a dinosaur head above its entrance appeared. "Then shield trigger, I summon Titan Giant and send Ninjariban to your mana zone. Boaropagos then brings out another Marinyan from my mana zone, who brings out Bluenika, Dragon Soul Fortress." A floating blue fortress with a dragon head appeared, after which all five buildings united. "Super Dragsolution – All Over The World, Supreme True Dragon Soul!"
Demon Subaru's jaw dropped, great was his shock when he saw the gigantic creature made of buildings assemble before his very eyes and now used against him. All cards in the battle zone, graveyards and hands were shuffled back into their decks, effectively cleaning up his field. There was the power he had been seeking all this time, and it was used by a reanimated corpse who was not even fit to grovel at his feet, let alone wield the might of existence itself.
"From Bluenika's effect, I draw a card. Now is my turn, I summon Jasmine, Mist Faerie and evolve her into Gyogyou, Revolutionkind. All Over The World, break all of his shields!" Demon Sora ordered and her opponent quickly shielded himself from the powerful blast which rendered him defenseless.
"If the Twilight Kingdom were to find this place, trust me, things would be even worse than what I've done: rape, slavery, mutilation, experiments on living flesh, there will be no more morals, all humans will be reduced to their base animal instincts, in short, total madness," Demon Subaru reasoned. "And this is only a small part of what the youkai would do to your world, even to innocent children…"
"No, you're lying, you've been doing the exact same thing!"
"If I were just like my kin, you would have never been reunited with good old Edo, don't be such a moron! Shield trigger, I summon Spiner, Shock Doctor and give -9000 to Gyogyou."
"Gyogyou's effect still kicks in, I bring out Silver Scoop from my mana zone into the battle zone. Then I send both Silver Scoop and Spiner to our mana zones!"
"My turn, I summon Honenbe, Skeletal Guardian." A purple skull with four bat wings appeared, causing Vader, Dark Armor, Upheaval and Mad Demon Excellency / Demon Hand to land into the hooded one's graveyard, the former going back into his hand. "Then I also summon Vader, Dark Armor." The knight in a metallic armor also reappeared. "I end, mill Bochiborof and draw a card."
"I summon Stepple, Cherry Blossom Wind Faerie and put the top card of my deck into my mana zone." A green-haired faerie wearing a pink dress appeared with a golden staff in her hands. "All Over The World, todomeda!"
"I block with Honenbe!" The purple skull stood in the way of the titanic creature's blast, taking in the full attack. "Demon Sora, you have no idea in what danger your world is in! If I don't take over and demonize mankind, there will be no future left for you!"
Much to his surprise, the clawed one began panting with exhaustion, bloody tears falling down her cheeks as she stared down at the table and sobbed. "You're lying... I'm sorry, guys, I can't do it anymore..." The rainbow aura surrounding her began to flash vividly.
"Interesting, where did you get the power to wield All Over The World so well?" Demon Subaru wondered, but the only response he got was a hopeless stare from his opponent, after which her table and all of her creatures went out in a giant explosion which shook the entire city. The devilish one stared at the aftermath of their sky duel as he packed up his cards and spoke to himself, "So she used all of her body's reserves to channel All Over The World through the copy, and in the end all that power consumed her." He reached towards the smoke, making the missing piece Greene and the fake Reddull fly into his hand. "Farewell, Sora Rukkora. Your death was stupid, but somehow I can sympathize with your plight."
At last, the five cards had been properly charged with power. He united them in the V position, in the order of Greene, Whitey, Reddull, Blacko and Bluenika. His eyes grew wide as he witnessed the entirety of existence, millions of years, countless galaxies, worlds and lives of an unspeakable variety, he was one with them at the same time. Time's passage was now meaningless, for everything that ever was and would ever be belonged only to him. He was God. Erupting in a laughter which he had been holding back ever since his return, Demon Subaru let his body twist and crack as purple fur covered his skin, as his face sharpened, as horns came out of his head and he grew in size. The shackles of mortal flesh had been finally broken, now mankind could see its true ruler.
Hajime, Jack, Lori and Sayo were petrified. Borof and Shinobu bowed down in awe. From the buildings in the distance arose a giant horned purple lion demon with a black mane, his height piercing the crimson sky. Shishima stretched his limbs and leather wings, getting accustomed to his real body once again. He cast his shadow upon the entire city, all living beings shaken by his presence even more than before. The only facial trait they could see clearly were the glowing red pupils which fixated them, his stare cold and judging.
"Hear my voice and tremble, mortals! For I am Shishima, the God of the new world!"
