Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

"This card can only be activated if it contains a 'Raid Raptor' monster as Xyz Material and is sent to the Graveyard!"

Special Summon 1 "Raid Raptor" Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck, except "Raid Raptor - Arsenal Falcon," and use this card from your Graveyard as Xyz Material for that monster!

"I choose to Special Summon... it's this one!"

You Yang's words were like lighting a fuse!

Before he could finish speaking, he had already drawn a card from the extra deck!

Almost at the same moment, a magnificent golden vortex, seemingly constructed of pure light, suddenly unfolded above the two of them!

The divine light instantly dispelled the darkness of the barrier, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime!

In Youyang's graveyard card slot, a dark light representing the indomitable will of [Rapid Raptor - Arsenal Falcon] suddenly shone, transforming into a resolute black meteor that defied gravity and plunged headlong into the center of the huge golden vortex in the sky!

boom--!!!

A blindingly bright white light erupted from the center of the vortex, and a colossal figure, accompanied by silver-white lightning and seemingly capable of tearing space itself, slowly descended from the other end of the vortex with the power to crush everything!

You Yang spoke slowly, his tone serious and solemn.

"O falcon of my soul!"

"May your unwavering faith and loving heart become the final, solid fortress that descends upon the world!"

"Upgrade to Supertransformation!"

With a determination for revenge and a belief in protection, You Yang slammed the card in his hand, which carried his last hope, onto the Duel Disk!

A pure white beam of light, piercing the heavens and the earth, rose up behind him with a roar, like a bridge connecting the present and the future!

"Descend, Rank 12!"

"【Rapid Assault Raptor - Final Fortress Falcon】!"

The moment Youyang finished singing his last syllable, a blood-red light suddenly shone from the center of the pure white pillar of light!

Like an ancient behemoth that has slumbered for millennia, at this moment, on the other side of the light, it opens its cold and majestic single eye.

A pair of colossal steel wings, forged from an unknown alloy and blotting out the sky, slowly emerged from the pillar of light. The mere act of unfolding them stirred up terrifying gales powerful enough to tear steel apart and distort space!

Immediately afterwards, the massive, mountain-like, and mobile aerial fortress-like body of the [Rapid Raptor - Final Fortress Falcon] was fully revealed!

Its armor was incredibly thick, shimmering with a dark luster, and every inch of its structure was filled with a suffocating sense of technology and oppression.

The final fortress falcon completely detached from the beam of light and, with a thunderous speed that was completely disproportionate to its enormous size, reigned supreme on the battlefield!

It did not land, but hovered quietly above Youyang, casting a huge shadow that seemed to completely envelop and suppress all evil and darkness in the world!

[Rapid Raptor - Final Fortress Falcon] [Tier 12]

[Dark/Xyz/Effect/Winged Beast Race] [Attack: 3800 / Defense: 2800]

As this ultimate weapon made its majestic debut, a warm and resolute golden light slowly rose from Youyang's grave, eventually transforming into a stream of light that precisely injected into the core of [Rapid Raptor - Final Fortress Falcon].

Instantly, its cold, heavy steel exterior was tinged with a faint golden glow, representing inheritance and indomitable will.

You Yang's gaze, like a cold blade, pierced past the final fortress falcon hovering in the air, radiating absolute pressure, and pierced straight at the Earthbound God opposite him, whose expression had finally turned solemn. His voice declared without a trace of warmth:

"The first effect of [Rapid Raptor - Final Fortress Falcon]".

"When this card has a 'Raid Raptor' Xyz Monster as Xyz Material, it will be unaffected by the effects of all other cards."

"In other words, at this moment, the [Rapid Raptor - Final Fortress Falcon] is the ultimate bulwark with absolute resistance!"

"And this is just the beginning."

"Now, deal with the effects of the previously activated [Rapid Raptor - Wise Wood Owl]!"

As You Yang finished speaking, one of the selected cards in his deck was suddenly enveloped in a ghostly blue data flame, as if responding to a summons.

You Yang precisely pulled it out and slammed it heavily onto the duel disk.

A deep blue flame rose into the air, and a giant steel eagle, whose wings and tail were made entirely of blazing jet engines, roared and descended with majesty!

[Raid Team Wing] [4 Stars]

[Dark/Bird Beast Race] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 2000]

"Just then, the second effect of [Rapid Raptor - Wise Wood Owl] activated!"

This effect can only be activated when the effect of your own "Raid Raptor" Xyz Monster is activated.

"Set 1 'Rank-Up Spell Card' from your Deck to your field."

"Quick-Play Spell Cards Set with this effect can also be activated during the turn they are Set."

"The key point is that this effect does not require the Xyz Monster to be on the field to activate it!"

"Therefore, even the effect of [Rapid Raptor - Arsenal Falcon] activated in the graveyard will trigger this chain!"

"I activate this effect!"

"Deploy [Rank-Up Spell - Leap Power] face-down onto the battlefield from your deck!"

Youyang's deck responded once again. A card, as if drawn by an invisible force, fell precisely into an empty area of ​​his duel disk, lying face down, waiting for the right moment to activate.

"The chain is not over yet!"

"Immediately afterward, I activated the effect of the Continuous Spell Card on the field, [Rapid Raptor - Nest]!"

"This effect can only be activated when a 'Raid Raptor' monster is Special Summoned from my Extra Deck to my field."

"Add 1 'Raid Raptor' Spell/Trap Card, other than 'Raid Raptor - Nest', from your Deck to your hand."

"I choose to add the trap card—[Rapid Raptor - Glorious Radiance]—to my hand!"

In a single chain summon, Youyang completed a special summon, a face-down card, and a key search!

Above the arena stood a terrifying ultimate weapon with absolute resistance!

Outside the barrier, a faint flame of hope was rekindled in Tiandao Lian's bloodshot eyes, which were filled with despair.

He began to believe that You Yang might... really be able to create a miracle.

However, You Yang, who had created such a spectacular scene, showed no joy on his face, only an icy calm.

He knew better than anyone that these things alone were far from enough to truly kill a god!

You Yang's gaze returned to the Duel Disk, his eyes becoming incredibly resolute. He instantly grabbed the two monster cards on the field.

In the space before him, the flow of data light surged once more, appearing like a turbulent ocean!

"Rally, fallen warriors!"

"Let us offer our broken weapons as a sacrifice and reignite the flames of rebellion!"

"Loop constructed! Arrow confirmed!"

"The summoning condition is—two or more DARK attribute monsters!"

"I'll set up a link loop between the Link-2 units on the field: [Rapid Raptor - Wise Wood Owl] and [Rapid Raptor - Dark Shrike]!"

The figure of [Rapid Raptor - Wise Forest Owl] instantly split in two, and together with [Raid Team Wing], the three figures simultaneously decomposed into three pure, flowing dark energy bodies.

Instead of soaring into the sky, they rapidly circled and intertwined on the scorched earth in front of Youyang, together tearing out a dark portal that resembled an abyss and shimmered with ominous dark red circuit patterns.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, nor any howling wind.

Instead, the temperature within the entire barrier suddenly plummeted to freezing, and a desolate and mournful atmosphere, a mixture of rust, dust, and death, filled the air, reminiscent of an ancient battlefield.

From the depths of that dark portal, a faint yet clearly audible resonance echoed, as if the whispers of countless fallen soldiers' souls.

You Yang's eyes reflected the dark circuit. He reached out his hand, and a card automatically popped out of the extra deck and landed steadily in his palm!

"O souls lost in the abyss of oblivion, don your rusted armor and become the smoke of rebellion!"

"At the moment when shadows intertwine, construct a path to the underworld!"

"Connect Summon!"

"Descend, Link-3—"

"【Phantom Knights Rusty Moonblade Axe】!"

As Youyang's last syllable exploded within the barrier, a hand encased in tattered metal armor suddenly tore through the void from the vortex of the dark portal, gripping the twisted edge of the door frame tightly!

Immediately afterwards, a silent figure pieced together from shattered armor and condensed abyssal shadows slowly appeared, accompanied by heavy echoes that seemed to come from the depths of the underworld.

He was not made of flesh and blood, but a tragic embodiment of the undying obsession of countless fallen warriors. A tattered black cloak danced wildly behind him without wind, its edges completely transformed into a wailing black mist of resentment, as if it might disintegrate into nothingness at any moment.

His torso was covered in a set of heavy knight's armor covered in hideous rust and deep cracks, with a viscous darkness that seemed to be alive flowing through the gaps in the armor.

What's most unsettling is the enormous moon-blade axe in his hand, almost as long as he is.

The mottled rust on the axe blade seemed to be engraved with countless deadly battles that had been buried in history, while beneath the rust, a cold energy like ghostly blue flames flowed faintly, as if the waters of the River Styx were flowing on the axe blade.

He has no face.

Beneath the helmet's visor lay an absolute void that swallowed all light, with only two deep blue soul flames burning in the darkness, coldly scrutinizing the entire battlefield like the arrival of death.

He remained silent, casually hoisting the heavy axe onto his shoulder with one hand, while his other hand hung naturally at his sides, symbolic dark particles dripping from his fingertips.

He stood silently on the scorched earth, like a general of the underworld who had just awakened from an ancient slumber, carrying a desolate killing intent powerful enough to overturn the throne of the gods.

【Phantom Knights Rusty Moonblade Axe】【LINK-3】【→】

[Dark/Link/Warrior Race] [Attack Power: 2100]

"I activate the effect of the [Phantom Knights Rusty Moonblade Axe] on the field!"

"During your main phase, you can activate this skill once per turn!"

Send 1 "Phantom Knights" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard.

"Then, set one 'Phantom' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck to your back row."

"I send the [Silent Boots of the Phantom Knights] to the Graveyard and set the Trap Card [Dark Cloth Armor of the Phantom Knights]!"

The Phantom Knights' Rusty Moonblade Axe slams the giant axe into the ground. The moment the axe blade touches the ground, dark energy ripples spread out like death waves.

Two cards flew out of the deck like summoned ghosts—one disappeared into the graveyard as a streak of light, and the other quietly covered the spell and trap zone like a lurking viper.

You Yang pressed his palm down, and a semi-transparent phantom of a card appeared before him. His voice was as cold as ice:
