Fusion is the noblest form of summoning!.

Chapter 700 Light and Shadow (1 words, please vote with monthly tickets~)

Kaito glanced at the card in his hand.

His body was engulfed in flames.

Flame as an elder brother, Flame as a duelist.

His duelist instincts are making him stronger.

but--

This strength is meaningless.

For him, awakening Yang Dou was the most important thing.

The fact that Yang Dou was willing to talk to him during the duel shows that he had not completely closed himself off; his seemingly untouchable "shell of despair" still had ways to be destroyed.

However, right now, the Goddess of Despair is sealing off Yang Dou's heart, preventing him from truly communicating with himself, returning to the past, and returning to their world.

and so.

All we need to do is break through this shell!

bang——

"Kaito!! Yuto!!!" Tsukumo Yuma finally arrived at the scene, but by this time, the duel had already reached its third round, and he was powerless to stop the refusal to continue. He could only watch the Amagi brothers' tragic duel.

"How could this be—" Kotori Mizuki arrived a little later and, seeing Kaito's body covered in wounds, couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands.

Yuma opened his mouth, a look of sorrow on his face. The starlight floating beside him shook its head slightly and said softly, "Yuma, things have come to this, we can only trust Kaito."

Yes--

"Go for it, Kaito!! Bring Haruto back!!"

Yuma yelled at Kaito at the top of his lungs, cheering him on.

Kaito heard his voice, glanced at him, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth before his expression turned cold again. He then revealed the card in his hand: "Normal Summon, Galactic Knight."

Galaxy Knights can skip Tributing Normal Summoned monsters if they have Photon or Galaxy Monster on their field.

"Use two Level 8 monsters on the field for an Xyz Summon!"

Kaito raised his hand, and the Photon Dragon's body began to blur and expand. The photons in its body began to flicker rapidly, and finally, they turned into lines!
"The Milky Way shines in the darkness!"

Take refuge in my heart, and become my servant!
Xyz Summon!

Descend, Rank 8!

Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon!

"Awooo!!!"

As if in response to the duelist's determination, Lightwave Dragon erupted with unprecedented passion, its body shining like a gem under the light.

Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon, Rank 8, Light attribute, Dragon race, Attack 3000, Xyz Material 2.
"It's transformed into a light wave form!" Yuma exclaimed in surprise.

Although Galaxy Eye has two different forms, the meanings of the two forms are actually different.

Photon form is the hunter, the predator, the pain and power Kaito endures in his search for No. Card; Beam form is the killer, the avenger, the form Kaito activates to deal with the Fusion Army attacking Xyz Dimension.

Kaito Amagi points to his opponent's monster: "Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon's effect: Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material, then target 1 monster your opponent controls. Until the End Phase, gain control of that opponent's monster."

During the period of control gained by this effect, that opponent's monster card is treated as "Galaxy-Eyes Lightwave Dragon," its ATK becomes the same as this card, it cannot attack directly, and its effects are negated.

"Light wave projection!"

As Kaito spoke, he stretched out his hand. His right hand shot forward, and the silver-white light hand of the Light City flew out, grabbing No.28 and forcibly pulling him in front of him.

Galaxy Eyes Lightwave Dragon, Xyz Material: 2 → 1.
Because the monster was taken away, the "28" symbol on Kaito's body gradually faded away, and in its place, the number appeared on Kaito's clothes, causing him some pain.

"Well……"

This card is not an ordinary numbered card; it also contains the malice of the goddess of despair. However, this pain is nothing to Kaito Amagi.

"Activate the Spell Card, Galactic Charity: If you control a Galactic Xyz Monster, you can discard 1 card to activate this effect. Draw 2 cards from your Deck. During the turn this card is activated, all damage your opponent takes is halved."

Kaito held up a Galaxy Eyes Cloud Cage in his hand, sent it to the graveyard, and then drew two cards from his deck.

"Hmm, what a brilliant dodging effect." Kro stroked his chin, praising the move. "Since it can't do any damage anyway, it doesn't matter how many times the damage is reduced. It's definitely worth drawing these two cards."

Because of the temporary truce, Yuto cannot be damaged this turn, so Kaito using this card will not have any impact.

But there are actually some hidden reasons—Kaito Amagi is still worried that his actions will hurt Yoto, so he further reduces his actions.

"The effect of Galaxy-Eyes Cloud Cage in the Graveyard is activated." Kaito Amagi didn't stop his actions. "During your turn, if this card is in the Graveyard, during your Main Phase, you can target 1 Xyz Monster with Galaxy-Eyes in its name that you control; use this card from your Graveyard as Xyz Material under the targeted monster. This effect can only be used once per Duel."

I overlaid it on the Galaxy Eye Lightwave Dragon.

In the cemetery, a miniature Galaxy Eye flew out, like the little brother of the Lightwave Dragon, circling around the Lightwave Dragon, howling, and then turning into light sphere particles.

Galaxy Eyes Lightwave Dragon, Xyz Material: 1 → 2.
"...Battle phase."

Kaito Amagi clenched his fist, trembling as he raised it in front of him, his voice firm: "Galaxy Eye, it's all up to you—"

"Galaxy-Eyes Light Wave Dragon, attack... attack Yang Dou directly!"

"Annihilation Wave!"

The Galaxy-Eyed Lightwave Dragon took a deep breath and roared. A ball of light composed of light waves condensed in front of it and then spewed it towards Amagi Yoto. Amagi Yoto crossed his arms in front of his head to block the light, and endless streams of light crashed into his body like water, washing over him.

Rumbling--

Because he couldn't be harmed, Amagi Yoto's body didn't feel any pain, but as the light waves washed over him, something invisible seemed to shatter with a bang.

"Yang Dou!!"

Amagi Kaito is overjoyed.

it works!

That's the right approach!

As the light stream washed over him, the Light Wave Dragon regained his footing, and Yang Dou slowly lowered his hands and raised his head.

The bright, shining eyes reappeared, bringing joy to Kaito and his friends and family. But this joy vanished in an instant, because, immediately afterward, Amagi Yoto's eyes became empty, dark, and lifeless again.

"!!"

Kaito paused for a moment.

"it's useless."

Even more——

As the attack landed, a gigantic figure slowly emerged.

It was a huge, colorful figure that slowly emerged, transforming into darkness, into the night sky, into the stars.

Unlike the God of Destruction in the conventional sense, this being appeared very gentle, with a perfect figure and face, and colors resembling the patterns on the wings of a large purple butterfly, which made her so strange, so... beautiful.

She is the goddess of despair, Ella!

It's also an "Error"!
error!

despair!

The true "concept god" of many dimensions, symbolizing despair!
"Ella!!!" Kaito roared, wishing he could rush up and punch her right then and there.

"Ella!!" Astral and Yuma Tsukumo couldn't help but yell at her.

That's infuriating, Ella!
They're the troublemakers of the superdimensional world!
Behind every bad thing, there's Ella!

"Give me back Yangdou!!" Kaito spat out the words through gritted teeth.

“It’s no use, Kaito Amagi,” Ella said to Kaito Amagi with a smile.

"Kaito Amagi doesn't want to be with you because of his own heart, not because of me. The more you try to touch his heart, the more resistant he becomes, and the deeper he buries his heart. So—it's useless, Kaito Amagi!"

"The more you try to save Amagi Yoto, the deeper he will sink into despair, just like light and shadow, hope and despair."

Kaito Amagi was stunned for a moment, followed by a bone-chilling cold and icy chill.

The more I protect him, the more I try to save Yang Dou, the more he will hate the very person I keep trying to save.

"I see--"

The astral body suddenly spoke.

Yuma immediately turned to look at him, and Yusei also quietly turned his head to listen to his insights.

"Despair and hope are opposites. Ella is the shadow of light born from hope, that is, a destroyer who gives despair and destroys hope. As long as a person's despair and darkness are attractive enough to her, she can cross the shadow of dimensions to come to that person's side."

Right now, Yang Dou is... the most desperate person.

A terrifying and insane truth.

"How could this be—" Yuma understood what Astral was saying. "Astral, are you saying that because Kaito is too strong, too powerful, Kaito is suffering more?"

Amagi Kaito.

Super Dimensional Star.

Xyz Monster Buster.

The leader and savior of the Fusion Army rebels.

The renowned Dimensional Ace.

The strongest duelist who has never failed to hunt numbered monsters in multiple dimensions.

Even Yuma Tsukumo and Astral had to admit that even after defeating the Throne and Dr. Fica, they still couldn't defeat Kaito when they fought him again!

Even in the minds of Yuma and Astral, Kaito Amagi is their greatest "hope" in the Xyz Dimension.

but--

This hope is too dazzling.

His talent for hunting numbered monsters and his powerful performance against the Fusion Army were both dazzling and eye-catching!
Not only that.

It's not just Kaito Amagi!

The father of the Amagi brothers, the renowned "Dr. Fika" of the Hyperdimension, the creator of Heart Garden, and a genius inventor who never falls behind in dimensional diplomacy.

In the more than ten years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Superdimensional Dimension and the Fusion Dimension, there has never been a change in their status. In fact, countless people in the Fusion Dimension regard Dr. Fika as an idol. This is because all the inventions created by Dr. Fika in the Heart Garden are genuine creations of genius. He can even handcraft genuine "non-human intelligent entities" and "mechanical life" like Orbit VII.

Dr. Fika is a multidimensionally certified "rare genius"!
A genius father, a powerful older brother!
however--

Yang Dou, the younger brother, is a real burden!

This despair born of hope, which had been abducted by the throne, sprouted in his heart and grew wildly after Dr. Fica revealed the truth.

"Is everything my fault?"

Kaito Amagi stood frozen in place, his life gradually draining away, as if everything in his life was being negated, and his fervent, even insane, fighting spirit as a duelist began to dissipate...

Could it be that I put too much pressure on Yang Dou?

Perhaps, letting Yang Dou live alone is a better choice—

Bang!
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Kaito!" a familiar voice rang out.

Amagi light!
The weight that had been hanging over everyone's hearts was suddenly lifted, and almost everyone felt lighter.

Hikaru Amagi pushed open the door, and IV shouted at Kaito, "Ha, what a mess you look like, Kaito!"

Looking at IV's face, Kaito was surprisingly somewhat bewildered.

“IV…”

"What's wrong? Is our invincible Kaito Amagi about to give up?!" IV encouraged Kaito in his own way, "If you're too scared, then let me do it. I'm going to kill Isla!!"

"Ha... I... I won't care about your brother's life or death!"

"IV!!" Kaito's face darkened, and that frenzied power reappeared, but this power was more about suppressing IV than... the duel itself.

"Tsk." IV snorted coldly, clearly annoyed.

"Kaito." On the other side, Hikaru Amagi looked at Kaito Amagi and met his gaze. "Don't be fooled."

"What's the meaning--"

"Kaito, although we've only known each other for a few days, your love for your younger brother is so obvious, and the younger brother you speak of is so kind."

Now, tell me, does your brother really think that way?

! !
Kaito Amagi was suddenly taken aback.

Hikaru Amagi slowly clenched his fist in front of him, his eyes reflecting Kaito's figure, and also reflecting the truth: "Your brother, perhaps for a moment, truly doubted himself, and felt fear towards you and your father. But, was that brief moment enough for your brother to do such a thing—"

Answer me. And answer yourself.

will not!

Absolutely not!

Kaito Amagi took a deep breath.

If it were the Yang Dou he remembered, he would never have done such a thing!
Even if he were truly angry, he wouldn't cause such widespread destruction. At most, he'd tell me about his minor sadness in the villa and then pester me to teach him how to duel.

"Isla...it's you!!" Kaito realized what was happening, pointed at Isla behind Yuto, and roared, "You amplified Yuto's pain, you forced him here! You're the one who made him suffer so much!"
I won't let you get away with this!!!

He understood completely.

really--

Behind every bad thing, there's always Ella!!
Ella's smile faded, and she looked at Hikaru Amagi with a somewhat gloomy expression.

But soon, a smile returned to her face: "So what if it is? Kaito Amagi, you can't wake up your brother with just this one impact. Without real damage, you can't wake him up."

Could you really hurt your most important younger brother?

With a disdainful smile, Ella's body slowly dissipated and merged back into Yang Dou's body.

Yang Dou's body is her protective layer!
"Damn it..." Kaito's fingers were cracking from being squeezed so tightly. He had never been so furious before, and he wished he could strangle Isla to death the next second.

but--

He looked at Yang Dou...

Can not be done.

He couldn't do it; he couldn't bring himself to hurt his own brother.

This is truly an absolute problem.

Yusei looked at Amagi Hikaru, who was pursing her chin, deep in thought.

If you let him come, he has a way.

He already has many methods for dealing with this kind of mental interference problem in duels.

After all, Darkness has seen enough of everything. Compared to Darkness, who is proficient in all mental abilities, the Goddess of Despair only knows how to modify memories. Her strongest power is actually the ability to move between multiple dimensions in an instant after they are connected. This is much more powerful than Darkness's painstaking efforts to come to this era.

Unfortunately, this duel belonged to Kaito Amagi, and he had no way to influence anything.

However, suggestions can still be made.

"Ultimately, the most important thing is to force Ella out of Yangdou's body. As long as we concentrate all our power and force Ella out, that should be enough, right?" Hikaru Amagi pondered as he spoke.

"That's too difficult." IV felt it was simply impossible.

Yes--

It's basically impossible to do.

Crowe and Jack nodded silently.

Even with the most advanced monsters, it would be difficult to accomplish such a thing.

Because what does it resemble?

Imagine a mosquito flies past you, and you have a huge spiked club in your hand. You have to use this club to hit the mosquito without hurting it, while precisely destroying a tiny "point" on its body.

How to do this?
It's so hard!

Disaster?
Even if it's difficult, we have to try!

Since we can't do it precisely, let's try to pinpoint it first!
"My turn continues, proceeding to Main Phase 2!"

"Here it comes, Ella! I'm going to make you repent completely!"

"This card can be used once per turn, or it can be placed directly on top of Lightwave Dragon to perform an Xyz Summon!"

"Use a Rank 8 Galaxy Eyes Lightwave Dragon as Xyz Material to perform an Rank 8 Xyz Transformation!"

The room was filled with light: "Upgrade, Super Transformation!"

Class 10!

Galaxy Eye Aurora Borealis!

It's leveled up!?

The three people and one demon from the Super Dimension were all amazed in their hearts at the same time.

"It's not over yet!"

"This card can also be Xyz Summoned by overlaying it on top of your own Galaxy Eyes Xyz Monster!"

"Excessive quantity, multidimensional transformation!!"

Two changes in the super-quantity class!?

It's the same Xyz Monster again—

The people from the superdimensional dimension all looked somewhat flustered.

This is a life-or-death situation!

"Rank 8, Galaxy Eye Heavy Armor Photon Dragon!"

The Galaxy-Eyed Heavy Armored Photon Dragon roared with its head raised.

"It's not over yet!"

"It's not over yet?!" Yuma Tsukumo exclaimed.

"Kaito, are you crazy?" IV was also shocked.

Three consecutive rank increases, and all in the same monster's position—

What are they trying to do?!

"Once a turn in which an Xyz Monster has battled, this card can be Xyz Summoned by overlaying it onto an Xyz Monster on your field!"

Kaito's eyes widened, and his body, the fiery duelist energy transformed into real fire, burned on his body.

"Watch me level up!"

"Excess quantity, upgrade transformation!"

"Maximum class value!"

"Super Summon!"

sizzle--

The electricity roared throughout the room.

All the light was concentrated in the center.

A cool, massive robot began to slowly assemble on the exterior of the Heavy Armored Dragon.

"Class 12!"

"Arzeus the Thunderbolt!"

boom! !

A god-slaying weapon has descended upon this place!
Celestial Zeus, Rank 12, Light attribute, Machine race, Defense 3000, Xyz Material: 5.
"Wow……"

The crowd was completely dumbfounded as they stared at Kaito Amagi.

No...it's nothing!
Nothing's wrong!

The 12-tier advancement seems rather insignificant?

"Impressive, Kaito Amagi. I never expected you to withstand my advancement so easily." Zeus was also extremely shocked.

"Compared to Kaito's sorrow, this pain is nothing!" Kaito said matter-of-factly.

He's hopelessly obsessed with his brother. But...

Kaito Amagi understands it better.

A moment of passion may be useful.

Ultimately, there is no way to cure the root cause.

The real solution is...

"I end my turn."

"At this moment, the No. 28 Titanmoth that originally belonged to me will return to the opponent's field."

The giant moth's body gradually separated from the light, transforming back into a numbered monster and returning to Yang Dou's field. As a result, the number "28" reappeared on Yang Dou's body.

"Activate Arceus's effect at this very moment!"

"During your or your opponent's turn, you can detach two Xyz Materials from this card to activate this effect. Send all other cards on the field to the Graveyard!"

So strong!

IV was startled.

With 4 materials, wouldn't that mean we can clear the field twice during the opponent's turn?
But—isn't it too hasty to use it now, Kaito?
No wonder Kaito Amagi was in a hurry.

He just wanted to find Ella as quickly as possible!
Zeus raised his hands in front of him, and a massive amount of purple lightning coalesced. Then, he opened his hands, and a stream of purple light swept across the entire arena.

In an instant, the giant moth was washed into dust by the light, but the light did not stop and continued to wash over it.

Kaito Amagi's body also swayed in this ocean of light. The scarlet number 28 slowly dissipated. Kaito felt as if he had grasped something in his heart, but he couldn't grasp anything at all.

"I'm sorry, this is all I can do."

The voice of Amagi rang in Kaito Amagi's ears.

It was quite satisfied with Kaito Amagi's willingness to risk everything for his younger brother.

But again.

It also harbored worries.

It's difficult—

too difficult.

Can't do it at all.

maybe……

Kaito Amagi will eventually follow his "old path" and will have to kill his own younger brother.

"My turn. Draw a card."

Yangdou glanced at his hand, made a slight adjustment, and Normal Summoned a monster.

"Normal summon, Rose Butterfly."

"As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, you can Tribute Summon 1 Level 7 or higher monster in Attack Position once during your Main Phase, in addition to Normal Summoning."

Is it used to quickly Xyz Summon Giant Moths?
This was the judgment of the vast majority of people present.

"Wait, Kaito—" Suddenly, Hikaru Amagi felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Not only Amagi Hikaru, but everyone else also felt a strange sense of crisis after Amagi Hikaru spoke.

But, it's too late!
Because Kaito Amagi's first action after summoning the monster was not to clear the field!

"The turn your opponent Special Summons 2 or more monsters from their Extra Deck and the turn after that, this card can be used to perform an Oversummon on the monster with the highest ATK on your field. The turn this card is Special Summons, you cannot Normal or Special Summons monsters."

"Use a level 3 Rose Butterfly for an Xyz Summon."

"A single-target Xyz Monster!?"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Xyz Monsters, don't you need at least two monsters stacked together?

Yang Dou slowly opened his arms, as if he were holding up the sun.

"Upgrade to a higher level with super-quantum change!"

"Class, maximum value!"

"Wait!!!" Kaito shouted, "Yoto!! A 12th-order Xyz isn't something you can do—"

At this point, he no longer had time to think about why a single monster could be upgraded.

Because darkness is coming!
"Despair, darkness, destruction!"

"Super Summon!"

"Class 12... uh..."

Yang Dou knelt down in pain.

Just as Kaito said.

As a child who had never fought anyone before, no matter how talented Amagi Yuto was or how well he could adapt to supernatural powers, he was ultimately just a floating duckweed on the water and had no way of being able to withstand this level of "explosive growth".

His body isn't that strong!
Moreover, Yang Dou's body is already weaker than that of an ordinary person, so the two factors combined will only make him suffer more!
"Uh--"

Kaito's body emitted a painful cracking sound, and not only Kaito, but also the people watching the duel around him, became tense and worried.

Blood gushed from Yang Dou's body.

"Typhon, the Star of Calamity".

A colossal mechanical demon, completely different from Aeus, with a ferocious appearance and a cold face, slowly raised its hands and calmly looked at its opponent.

"It's it!" Arceus grew anxious. "Back then, my people were tempted by the power of the red light and turned into this!"

Typhon, the Star of Calamity, Rank 12, Dark Attribute, Demon Race, Attack Power 2900.
"Attack power 2900?"

"Fortunately, Aeus's attack power is higher than itss."

"Furthermore, with Arceus, we can clear the field. If we can't summon or Special Summon Yang Dou, there shouldn't be any problems."

Another round to try—

"Ella..." Kaito was so angry at the sight of Yuto's miserable state that he laughed. His lips trembled, and he couldn't finish his sentence.

“Typhon’s monster effect,” Yangdou slowly straightened up, raised his hand, and said, “Once per turn, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Return 1 monster on the field to your hand.”

Do we need to defeat Acius?!

"The effect of Aeus—"

"As long as Typhon, who is Xyz Summoned, is present, neither side can activate the effects of monsters with an ATK of 3000 or higher."

"what!"

These words startled almost everyone present, even Tyella's eyebrows twitched wildly.

Good guy.

If this monster is present, she cannot activate her [Unstoppable] effect!

But given the current situation—

"Kaito!" Yuma shouted in terror.

Something went wrong!

Zeus cannot activate the effect, which means...

"Kaito Amagi, I—" Zeus tried his best to resist Typhon's power, but the rules of the duel were set in stone, and he could not defy reality.

Since Arceus is a monster from the Extra Deck, it is not returned to the hand, but directly to the Extra Deck.

In doing so, Kaito Amagi's defenses were wide open!
"Hehehe, Kaito Amagi, it seems you can't even save yourself, let alone your brother." Ella's voice echoed in the dueling arena.

Kaito remained silent, his face cold.

"Fight." Yang Dou raised his hand expressionlessly. "Typhon will launch a direct attack on his opponent."

Typhon's eyes flashed red, and like lightning, it appeared in front of Kaito in a few flashes. Its right claw was raised, ready to strangle Kaito on the spot!

"Kaito!" Yuma shouted anxiously.

"Kaito—" IV cried out in a low voice.

The little bird, not daring to look at the moon, turned its head away.

Kaito Amagi expressionlessly reached out to catch the attack that the demon was about to unleash.

sizzle--

It was clearly an attack from a demon, but when it hit Kaito Amagi, it was as if it had hit a vast ocean, and it could not advance any further no matter what!
"Activate the effect of Photon Kuriboh from your hand."

Send this card to the Graveyard, pay half of your Life Points, and this turn, all damage I take becomes 0.

Kaito Amagi, LP: 1300 → 650.
"call--"

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, and the little bird that watches the moon slowly looked over and patted its chest hard.

It's so scary.

Hikaru Amagi sighed softly.

The original version of Photon Kuriboh only required paying half of her life points to use, which was incredibly powerful. The physical card, however, requires paying 2000 life points to use; anything below 2000 is unusable.

at this time.

Tsk——

A sound was echoing in the room.

That's Ella.

But soon, she relaxed again.

What's the big deal?

Most of the monsters in Kaito Amagi have an attack power of over 3000!

If the effect cannot be activated, then you must deal damage through combat.

Can Kaito Amagi do that?

Is it possible to win by hurting your own brother?

At almost the same time, Godwin was also waiting for this result.

As for Kaito Amagi himself...

Even Athena asked him in his mind.

What should I do?
The current situation seems to indicate that... a battle is inevitable!
It gazed at the scarlet Typhon from afar, a sense of sorrow welling up within it.

Is the tragedy of that day destined to repeat itself?

"Don't worry."

Kaito Amagi spoke softly.

?

Everyone watching the duel had some doubts.

"It's over now."

? ? ? ?
"End your turn." Amagi Yoto had no other action to take, so he calmly ended his turn.

Clearly, Rose Butterfly was a card he drew this turn; otherwise, he could have won by directly attacking Rose Butterfly with its Normal Summoning ability last turn.

"Yang Dou...you must have been living in fear and anxiety all this time in this unfamiliar world, right?"

"But it's alright, your brother will come and take you away right now—"

what?
The Goddess of Despair was utterly perplexed.

What are we talking about now?

"My turn, draw a card!"

"Magic Card, Speed ​​Light!"

"You can activate this effect only if you control no other monsters. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower Photon Monster or Galaxy Monster from your Deck!"

"Special Summoning: Galactic Monk!"

"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, select a total of 5 cards from your Graveyard: Photon Cards and Galaxy Cards. Shuffle those cards into your Deck. Then, draw 2 cards from your Deck."

Galaxy Eyes Lightwave Dragon, Galaxy Eyes Aurora Wave Dragon, Galaxy Eyes Heavy Armor Photon Dragon, Galaxy Eyes Cloud Cage, Photon Kuri (5 cards) —

"The effect of Galactic War Dragon can only be activated if you Special Summon a Level 4 LIGHT monster to your field. Special Summon this card from your hand or Graveyard. If this card Special Summoned by this effect leaves the field, banish it."

Kaito Amagi Special Summons two cards quickly.

"If you control a Photon or Galaxy Monster, you can Special Summon a Level 4 Photon Exterminator!"

"There are 3 level 4 monsters?" Yuma asked, puzzled.

What is this going to do?
"Quick-Play Spell Card, Hyper Galaxy! You can activate this effect by Tributing any monster you control with 2000 or more ATK, except for Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Then target 1 monster your opponent controls with 2000 or more ATK. Tribute that monster, and Special Summon 1 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard!"

Humph.

Ella was very unhappy.

Yang Dou ultimately lost.

There is no way.

Compared to his brother, Yang Dou is far too weak as a duelist.

Losing to Kaito is not shameful.

and--

We might not necessarily lose.

She sneered.

Kaito Amagi, dare to attack?
"Liberate the Photon Destroyer and Typhon!"

As Typhon gradually turned into silvery-white specks of light and dissipated, Arceus wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Although Typhon is Typhon, it is not one of its kin in its memory, but rather a card belonging to the god of despair.

Its kin will never return.

Even more...

Kaito Amagi will become the next "him"!
"I'm sorry, Haruto, we should have dueled in a warmer place. You must have been looking forward to this day... But I cannot concede defeat today. Not only because of that wretched Isla, but also because I cannot drag the members of 5DS down with me—"

More importantly, I've already understood this in that interstellar dimension.

I... want to win forever with Galaxy Eye!!

Although Amagi Hikaru has defeated the throne, he cannot affect 5DS's record.

More importantly, he now fully understands his true duelist beliefs.

That is—invincibility!
The invincible journey alongside Galaxy Eye!

"Now... let this monster, born from your power, end this duel!" Kaito Amagi revealed an unusually gentle smile that others might never have seen before.

"Activate the effect of Galactic Dragon: Target 1 other Level 4 LIGHT monster you control. That monster and the card become Level 8, and I upgrade Galactic Dragon and Galactic Monk to Level 8!"

"Kaito, are you going to summon Super Galaxy—" IV was dumbfounded.

Are you trying to kill your own brother?!
“Kaito must have his reasons for doing this!” At this moment, Tsukumo Yuma trusted Kaito completely.

Kaito Amagi raised his hand, and a huge trident appeared in his hand. He held it high and then threw it into the distance.

"O surging Milky Way, now transform into a raging torrent of light, and display your form!"

Come forth!
My soul! Super Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon!

As endless photons accumulated, the enormous dragon of light gradually turned from silvery-white to crimson, its three heads slowly rising, its eyes seemingly containing an endless universe!
Super Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon!
A monster born from Yoto's protection of Kaito!

Super Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon, Rank 8, Light attribute, Dragon race, Attack power 4500.
The duel was won.

We will definitely win.

Everyone is aware of this.

Can……

Many people nervously licked their lips.

"Super Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon attacks the opponent directly!"

"Confess to me, E. La!!!"

"Are you crazy, Kaito Amagi?!" Ella exclaimed.

Does she really not care about her younger brother?
A massive stream of photons concentrated in the mouth of the Supergalactic Photon Dragon, and the three orbs of light merged in turn, becoming an even larger stream of light. Accompanied by crimson waves, the attack began to sweep across the entire scene.

The scene that the goddess of despair, Ella, imagined did not appear.

"How—why—" came a cry of pain.

The concentrated light stream struck Yang Dou's left eye. The immense power, concentrated in an instant, actually forced a figure slowly out of Yang Dou's body!
it turns out!?
In his excitement, all of Aeus's vocal mechanisms began to play celebratory sound effects.

"We did it!" Mizuki Kotori excitedly hugged Yuma.

"As expected of Kaito!" Yuma cheered.

Ella!

found it!
"how come!"

The light stream continued to bombard her, blasting Ella out of Yang Dou's soul. The light stream struck her body, causing her immense pain.

“…Just like Hikaru said.” Kaito Amagi laughed amidst the torrent, “Yoto… will always be Yoto.”

During Typhon's attack, Kaito hesitated to abandon Photon Kuriboh because he was confirming his suspicions.

Because of Typhon, he was no longer able to activate the effect of Aeus to search for Yang Dou's heart.

But he was even more certain.

My own brother is definitely not someone who wants to hurt others!
So, at the very last moment, in the final instant, he felt it.

She could feel her younger brother's reluctance!

That's the source of his kindness!

It is also the source of the "despair" that Ella speaks of.

He didn't want to be a burden to his father and brother, but at most he would just run away; he would never want to hurt them!

This is Yang Dou's despair...

It is also Kaito's hope!
Does the god of despair appearing before the most desperate person represent the end of despair, or the rekindling of hope?

Amagi Yoto, LP: 4000 → 0.
boom----

Ayla was completely blasted away, and Amagi Hikaru's body went limp, collapsing on the spot. Kuro and Yuma quickly ran over to try to pick him up. At the same time, with the end of the duel, Kaito's Photon Mode was deactivated, and his powerful duelist instincts could no longer support him. The pain caused by the multiple upgrades and numbering, as well as Typhon's direct attack, reappeared in his body, causing him to fall uncontrollably. Fortunately, Amagi Hikaru had anticipated this and supported him, preventing him from collapsing.

"Thank you very much."

"It is your own strength."

The two exchanged a brief exchange.

Most of their attention remained on that guy.

Everyone, everyone present!

Everyone focused their attention on the enormous figure floating in the air, which was at least ten meters tall!

A shadow of hope, an embodiment of despair.

E.L.!
