How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

"Next... activate the effect of [Hellfire Machine. Belphegor] that was just sent to the graveyard!"

"If the combined Level and Rank of all Effect Monsters I control is 8 or lower, this card can be Special Summoned from my hand and Graveyard by banishing 2 'Inferno' monsters from my hand and Graveyard!"

"I've banished [Inferno Satan] and [Inferno Beelzebub], and now I Special Summon [Inferno Belphegor]!"

The mechanical dragon had several bright golden glass tubes inserted around its body, and a cylindrical device on its back that seemed to be a power source. It flew out of the stone slab like a living thing.

"I Link Summon using two monsters on my field as materials! Appear, circuits that return to the source of life!"

"Arrow confirmed! ↙↘! The summoning condition is 2 FIRE monsters!"

Tiamat pointed downwards, and the two monsters on the field returned to the stone slabs. Then, a fiery red ball of light detached from them and flew into the connecting circuit that appeared on the sea surface amidst the sound of the stone slabs shattering.

"Link Summon, L-ink2! [Fire Demon Blade Flame Tongue]!"

A new stone slab flew out from the loop in the sea, and then a warrior with a red and white body whose lower body was entirely made of flames emerged from it, holding a sharp blade stained with crimson.

Where the [Hellfire Machine. Evil] was originally located, in the place covered by rubble, a brand new stone slab has appeared out of nowhere.

"If [Inferno Evil] is sent to the Graveyard or banished, I can add 1 'Purgatory' Spell/Trap Card from my Deck to my hand."

The stone slab was lifted, revealing its name to the voyage and the others watching.

"I choose to add [Purgatory's Demise] to my hand, and then activate the effect of [Fire Demon Blade Flame Tongue] on the field to add the banished FIRE monster [Inferno Machine Satan] to my hand!"

"Then activate the effect of [Inferno Satan] which was just added to my hand, banish [Inferno Evil] from my Graveyard, and Special Summon this card!"

After summoning [Hellfire Satan], Tiamat showed no sign of stopping. She stretched out her finger, and the connecting circuit reappeared on the sea surface.

"Let's continue using the two monsters on my field as Link Material and start again! The circuit that returns to the source of life!"

"Arrow confirmed! ←↓→!"

As the Link Monster of L-ink2, after [Flame Demon Blade Flame Tongue] returned to the stone slab, two red orbs of light flew out from it, and together with the orb of light transformed from [Hellfire Machine. Satan], they filled the dim arrow.

"Summoning condition: 2 or more Effect Monsters! Link Summon!"

"Born! L-ink3! [Princess of Blaze]!"

Chapter 110 It's Your Turn

The sea is boiling.

From a distance in mid-air, far above Tiamat, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others saw countless bubbles churning on the sea below, the ocean rising with large amounts of white steam as if it were boiling.

The crimson flames, as if encountering a vast, dry grassland, instantly ignited the entire sea.

A red-haired woman, clad in black armor and bathed in flames, emerged slowly from the fire like a queen, surrounded by two serpentine or dragon-like beasts and accompanied by a black ring covered in spikes behind her.

Her red dress billowed, and her arms were engulfed in flames, yet she seemed completely unaffected as she admired the claws formed of fire.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that she didn't emerge from the stone slabs but was born from the flames that could scorch the seawater tells Fujimaru Ritsuka that she is no ordinary person.

"The effect of 【Blessed Princess】 activates, reviving 【Infernal Machine. Decimal Tube】 in the graveyard."

Tiamat spoke in a calm and gentle tone.

【The Blame Princess of Flames】waved her hand, and the flames burning on the sea gathered around her, forming a broken figure with only her head remaining, but with 10 vacuum tubes of different colors inserted into her body.

Yudu drove the D-Wheel at breakneck speed along the track, glancing at the two monsters on the Tiamat track.

The appearance of [Princess of Blaze] was indeed somewhat unexpected for him, but that alone was not enough to cause him too much of a problem.

"At this very moment, the monster effect of [Hellfire Machine Decimal] activates!"

"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, I send 1 'Inferno' monster from my Deck to the Graveyard, except for 'Inferno Decimal'!"

Tiamat continued, and a stone slab flew out of the Duel Disk on her arm and shattered. Before it shattered, the row of ten stars on the slab did not escape everyone's eyes.

"After that, this card's level increases by the level of that monster, and it is treated as a card with the same name as that monster, gaining the same effect."

"I choose to send the 10-star [Hellfire Machine. Namar] to the graveyard!"

On the decimal tube, inside the vacuum glass tube at the head, appeared the shadow of a giant scarlet snake with bat wings.

[Hellfire Machine. Decimal Tube]

[1 stars → 11 stars]

has it ended?

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were looking at Tiamat's [Blessed Blade Princess] and [Hellfire Machine Decimal] on the field, thinking that she would end her turn like this, they saw the familiar connection circuit reappear on the sea.

No way……

"Activate! The circuit back to the origin of life! Arrow confirmed!"

This time, a total of four arrows lit up on the circuit.

↑↙↓↘.

"I'll use L-ink3's [Blessed Princess of Blaze] and [Hellfire Machine. Decimal] as Link Materials! Link Summon!"

This time, after Tiamat finished speaking, what appeared was not the raging flames that would burn the entire sea, but a great flood powerful enough to sweep across the world and wash the earth's surface clean.

"Ocean of origin, primordial crust, waves of creation... My youngest child, return to your mother's embrace!"

"Connect Summon!"

"L-ink4! [Hellfire Machine. Flood]!"

The full picture of the myth is revealed here.

A cataclysmic flood surged from behind Tiamat, its massive waves reaching hundreds of meters high. If it were to be filmed like that, not only would those present be doomed, but even Uruk, which was far away, would not escape its demise.

beep beep beep——

"Fujimaru! The water level in the Persian Gulf has suddenly risen sharply! What happened on your end?!"

Although Chaldea can see the scene inside the singularity through Fujimaru Ritsuka's bracelet, the range of their field of vision is also very narrow due to the bracelet.

Dr. Roman and his team were currently monitoring the match between Yudo and Tiamat using their wristbands when, unexpectedly, the monitoring equipment suddenly issued an alarm.

"It's nothing, doctor..." Fujimaru Ritsuka said to the bracelet, her face ashen, as she looked at the approaching giant wave. "But do you think it's too late for me to summon Noah now?"

Roman: "???"

Noah?

You're not referring to Noah from the Bible, the one who built Noah's Ark, are you?

No, what exactly happened over there?!

Fortunately, this was in the midst of a duel, and the terrifying floodwaters condensed together as they approached, forming a thick, mechanically modified serpent.

Its upper body is similar to a human, with its arms and wings spread out together, and two small snakes, whose bodies are bound by twelve copper rings, emerge from behind it.

However, although it is called a small snake, it is only small compared to the [Hellfire Machine. Flood], its actual size is much larger.

Its lower body is equipped with robe-like armor that clings to its dark blue body, along with belts that hang down from the waist like a skirt, making it look like the attire worn by some kind of priest during a ritual.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others all breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were flying in the sky, they could try to avoid the pterosaurs below them, but what if they did?

"It's alright, doctor."

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, Dr. Roman, who was pondering whether using the Bible as a relic could summon Noah, remained silent.

Tiamat's turn continued; she waved her hand, and a large number of pebbles flew out of the ocean below.

"I activate the monster effect of [Inferno Namma] in my Graveyard, banishing [Inferno Belphegor], [Inferno Satan], and [Inferno Decimal] from my Graveyard, and Special Summon it!"

The crimson serpent writhed in the sea. It was originally created based on the seven angels of creation, Samael, but its ferocious appearance now showed no trace of angelism.

"Continuous Spell [Purgatory's Decay]: Based on this card's effect, I can discard one card from my hand and add one 'Purgatory' Spell/Trap Card, other than 'Purgatory's Decay, to my hand from my Deck."

Tiamat, who had gathered two giant snakes, one blue and one red, spoke, and a huge stone slab stood in front of her. Then, a new stone slab flew out from the seabed.

"I add [Infernal Feast] to my hand, then face down two cards. End of turn."

Tiamat covered her last two stone slabs with her own, then turned her head, her cross-patterned pupils looking at Yudo who was speeding along the track.

Her meaning was obvious.

now you.

Chapter 110 I'm going to start speeding up!

"My turn, draw a card!"

Yudu turned a corner and raised his hand to draw a card from the top of the deck.

Before he could even see what card he had drawn, he heard Tiamat's gentle voice sound again.

"The moment you draw your card, I will open the face-down card and activate the Trap Card [Infernal Feast]!"

On the Tiamat field, the stone slab covering the upright [Decline of Purgatory] was lifted, shattering into a pile of stones along with the nearby Continuous spell [Decline of Purgatory].

"This card sends 1 'Inferno' Spell/Trap Card from my hand or field to the Graveyard. Until the combined Levels reach 8, Special Summon up to 3 'Inferno' monsters from your Deck, ignoring their Summoning conditions!"

"I'm going to summon the other two cards from my deck: a Level 1 [Inferno Decimal] and a Level 6 [Inferno Belphegor]!"

Two broken heads and a steel dragon fell from the stone slabs onto Tiamat's field.

But that's not all. Yudou hasn't forgotten that [Hellfire Machine. Decimal Tube] has another effect to activate after it's summoned.
