It seemed that in the moment a lightning bolt struck down, the Slifer Dragon transformed into a flood of golden points and vanished into thin air, as if the existence of that infinitely majestic Egyptian God was nothing but a mirage easily shattered.
The golden storm engulfed the position where the Slifer Dragon had stood, with thunder and lightning radiating out like a spider web, reducing the surrounding buildings of Kyoutou to dust!
A pair of strong and powerful wings fiercely flapped, scattering the gigantic storm, and three-headed dragons emerged from its center, their noble and powerful bodies clearly reflected on the glass curtain walls, causing gravitational ripples that uprooted streetlights and trees from the ground, piercing them sequentially in mid-air with lightning!
Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju!
[Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju, Attack 3300]
"Next is Quick Magic 'Trap Booster', activating a Trap Card from my hand." Light of Destruction then revealed a card from his hand, "So based on this effect, I activate Continuous Trap from my hand—
—Remove Brainwashing!
When Remove Brainwashing is present on the field, control of all Monsters must return to their original owners."
He extended a hand composed purely of light particles.
"Return to my field, Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju!"
Having defeated Osiris, the three-headed Dragon King's wings arrogantly flapped, and its massive form directly rose, flying back to the field of Light of Destruction.
This shock caused quite a stir among the audience.
"Are you kidding? The legendary Egyptian God was defeated in an instant..."
"What is that three-headed dragon!? Is it really that strong?"
"This is the power of Cosmic Monsters..."
There's no denying it; the absurdity of the Kaijus is just that. They are like a force of mudslide in the Duel Monster Realm, the ultimate clearing tool across the entire Yu-Gi-Oh system, Kaijus are the most powerful clearing method.
"Light of Destruction," Youyu frowned, "among the opponents I've encountered, you may indeed be in the strongest tier."
"Very soon, I'll be the only one."
"Now my 'Kyoutou Waterfront' Kaiju Counters have reached four." Light of Destruction raised his voice, "So I remove three of these Kaiju Counters to activate the effect of Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju!
Once per turn, until the end of the turn the opponent cannot activate any Magic, Trap, or Monster effects.
And in this turn, Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju, can attack Monsters up to three times!!!"
Upon hearing this, the audience who had never seen the Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju, were shocked.
"No effect activation... and it can attack three times!?"
"Is this the might of Cosmic Monsters?"
Even Judai was taken aback: "Ah? Doesn't that mean, regardless of Trap or Monster effects... even Kuriboh can't be used?"
"That's right; this is the power of 'Thunder King'. An absolute force that seals and suppresses, achieving instant annihilation." Light of Destruction said.
"But, even if it can attack three times, its Attack is only 3300." Judai remarked, "We still have Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder here, this attack isn't enough to..."
"Of course, that's already been calculated." Light of Destruction continued, "Phantasm resists Magic Effects of Continuous type, and is completely immune to Traps.
Even though the power is amplified by Thunder of Fallen, the immunity Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder can provide is limited to Magic and Trap effects only... and Hamon in Defense position can't even do this now."
Youyu: "..."
"I activate Magic Card 'Monster Reborn' from my hand!" Light of Destruction raised his hand, "Bringing back the card that was discarded to the Graveyard by Kozmo Tincan's effect—
—Kozmo Dark Destroyer, second unit, summon!!!"
The pitch-black vortex to the Netherworld opened, emitting heavy engine roars!
The colossal steel construct slowly and heavily rose from the dark vortex, its fuselage like a blade suspended above one's head, ready to slice at any moment!
[Kozmo Dark Destroyer, Attack 3000]
"Dark Destroyer, activate effect." Light of Destruction said, "Upon successful summon or special summon, destroy one Monster on the field.
Destroy 'Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder'!"
The battleship's numerous laser cannons fired simultaneously, and interstellar artillery directly penetrated Hamon's defenses! The bones shielding Hamon's front were blasted into several blackened holes, with golden fragments flying in all directions. The Phantasm crumbled down like a collapsing building.
"Ah!" Judai said, "Hamon was also..."
But then he immediately thought of something: "Ah right! At this instant, Thunder of Fallen's effect would be triggered! The turn in which any kind of Phantasm leaves the field can be activated; all the battle and effect damages we receive will be 0!
Professor Youyu must have already accounted for this..."
"During the turn Thunder King, the Lightningstrike Kaiju's effect is applied, no card effects can be activated." Light of Destruction said dryly, "This card is no exception."
After all, even as Continuous Magic, Thunder of Fallen's effect description clearly states "activate when any kind of Phantasm leaves the field", and as long as the word 'activate' is included, it is sealed by Thunder King's power.
"Ah!" Judai scratched his head, "Then isn't this rather bad..."
With this, Youyu and Judai had only the lonely Shadow Mist Maiden left on their field.
Elemental Hero Miss crossed her arms defensively in front, facing the impending three-headed dragon ready to make her its meal and the armed-to-the-teeth interstellar battleship, Shadow Mist Maiden felt immense pressure...
To be fair, engaging with either of them should really be Ultraman's job, right?
She, Shadow Mist, was merely the kind of hero responsible for neighborhood safety; in another superhero world she might only be dealing with thugs on the streets, what fortune did she have to face such level Monsters alone?
Yet the opponent seemed to think that still wasn't enough.
"The guardian of this world, Youyu, and the bearer of 'Cosmic Darkness', Yuki Judai," Light of Destruction said, "You are indeed rare adversaries, among the countless worlds I conquered, you'd be outstanding.
So, as a mark of respect, I shall match the power commensurate with yours."
While saying this, he displayed yet another card from his hand: "Summon 'Kozmo Soartroopers', attack mode."
[Kozmo Soartroopers, Attack 1000]
"Soartroopers' effect, remove itself from the game, can special summon a level four or higher 'Kozmo' Monster from hand."
Light of Destruction paused slightly, his tone raised abruptly.
"I remove 'Kozmo Soartroopers' from the game, calling forth the strongest mothership of the interstellar fleet—
—Star Destroyer, Kozmo Dark Eclipser, summon!!!"
