"Counter Trap—Seven Tools of the Bandit!" Marik snarled. "I pay 1000 Life Points to negate a Trap's activation and destroy it!"
Marik LP 4000 → 3000
"Your Conquistador of the Golden Land is negated!"
Aoi's undead cavalry sigil shattered into dust.
"Then the attack continues!" Marik barked."Egyptian God Slime, attack!"
The imitation divine giant lunged forward, its massive fist crashing down—
Aoi felt the recoil through the Black Game's air itself, like needles beneath the skin.
Aoi LP 2700 → 2200
"And now—Bowgun Shooter, direct attack!"
The round-bodied archer lifted its crossbow—
"Not so fast." Aoi's eyes snapped to her back row. "Trap—Scarlet Sanguine!"
Crimson liquid burst from the card and wrapped around a golden coffin.
"I Special Summon Eldlich the Golden Lord from my Graveyard!"
Eldlich the Golden Lord reappeared—cold, regal, and very much alive.
Marik clicked his tongue, forcibly halting the attack. "Tch… I cancel it."
He slapped two cards down. "I Set two. End turn. (Hand: 1)"
"End Phase—Continuous Trap Cursed Eldland…" Aoi said softly, then corrected herself with a faint smile.
"No. Golden Land Forever isn't the only 'forever' I have."
She flipped a face-down card.
"Continuous Trap—Eldlixir of White Destiny!"
"I pay 800 LP. This card becomes a monster (Zombie/LIGHT/Level 10/ATK 1500/DEF 2800) and Special Summons itself."
Aoi LP 2200 → 1400
A towering, pale-gold elixir avatar rose onto her field, half-Trap, half-corpse, radiating holy rot.
"And if I control Eldlich, I can bounce one monster on the field back to the hand."
Her gaze cut across the arena.
"I return Egyptian God Slime to your hand."
The slime "god" warped, then collapsed into a card and snapped back into Marik's grip.
Aoi Set one more card with a tiny, almost imperceptible curve at the corner of her lips.
"My turn. Draw!"
"Standby Phase—Bowgun Shooter effect! Take 600!"
A bolt of blackened energy punched into Aoi's chest.
Aoi LP 1400 → 800
Then Marik slammed a Spell down.
"I activate Pot of Greed! Draw two!"
The moment he saw what he drew, his grin split wide.
"Hahahaha! This Duel is over!"
The spectators stiffened.
"What?!""Now?!""After losing Ra?!"
Marik's eyes glittered with cruelty.
"You think a set Trap can save you? In front of a GOD?"
Jounouchi shouted from the stands, confused. "But his God Card got banished—how's he—?!"
Kaiba's expression tightened. "That bastard… he waited for her to thin out."
Marik spread his arms.
"I activate Quick-Play Spell—Different Dimension Burial!"
"I target up to three banished monsters… and return them to the Graveyard."
His finger jabbed forward.
"I return The Winged Dragon of Ra."
Yami Yugi's eyes widened. "He's… moving Ra back into the Graveyard first."
Marik didn't stop.
"Next—Spell Magical Stone Excavation!"
"I discard two cards… and add a Spell from my Graveyard to my hand."
He flashed the recovered card like a guillotine blade.
"Monster Reborn!"
Ishizu's breath caught. "Ra…!"
Marik thrust the card into his Duel Disk.
"Rise—The Winged Dragon of Ra!"
A golden light erupted from his Graveyard like molten sunlight.At first, it was only a sphere—a dense, glowing core hovering behind him.
Jounouchi blinked. "That's… a ball."
Ishizu's voice cut in, sharp and grave.
"Ra requires ancient chant. Without it, its true form cannot manifest."
Marik folded his arms, chanting in a harsh, ancient rhythm—sounds like stone grinding against bone.
The sphere trembled… cracked… unfolded—
Gold feathers, a crowned beak, wings like blazing plates of sunlight.
The Winged Dragon of Ra (ATK 0 / DEF 0)
"Zero?" Jounouchi blurted. "That can't hurt her!"
Marik laughed low. "Ra has three powers. Too bad you don't even have a monster on the field—I can't show you the third."
Then his chant changed—deeper, stranger.
Ishizu recoiled. "That's… a different priestly incantation—!"
Marik's outline began to blur, as if his body was being poured into the light.
His form thinned—then merged into the divine aura.
He became a silhouette inside Ra's radiance, like a human soul trapped in a sun.
Honda gasped. "He… fused with it?!"
Marik's voice boomed from within the god's light.
"Listen carefully. One of Ra's powers—I set my Life Points to 1… and the rest becomes Ra's Attack and Defense!"
Marik LP 3000 → 1
The Winged Dragon of Ra (ATK 2999 / DEF 2999)
The pressure in the Black Game spiked. Even the wind felt heavier.
Marik wasn't done.
"I Tribute Bowgun Shooter! Its ATK adds to Ra!"
Bowgun Shooter disintegrated into sparks.
The Winged Dragon of Ra (ATK 4299 / DEF 2999)
"4299…!" voices trembled across the stands.
Marik's grin returned—feral.
"Aoi Kisaragi. You banished my god earlier because you thought you couldn't handle it."
"But you didn't expect me to bring it back."
Aoi stared up at the blazing deity—then at the "man" inside it—like she was watching someone proudly sprint into a wall.
Her expression was flat.
"…Idiot."
The gold light flickered—just slightly—as if Ra itself took offense.
