Placing "Reincarnation of the God" in his hand, Raphael took the opportunity to draw another card.

"Because there's a monster with 2500 original ATK or DEF on the field, I can Special Summon 'Smoot, the Reincarnated Guiding God' from my hand!"

"And, I activate "Reincarnation" from my hand! I Special Summon a "Reincarnation" monster from my deck. The monster Special Summoned by this effect will be sent to the Graveyard during your turn!"

"After activating this card, I cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck until the end of my next turn!"

"Appear, "Reborn God of War, Pereshite"!"

Four sword blades cut through the void, and the God of War leaped down from a great height.

"Next, Special Summon 'Reborn Dragon God Veigara' from your hand—"

"Finally, if there are no monsters in my Graveyard, I can Special Summon this card!"

White wings gently brushed over the four "Reincarnation" monsters on the field, and the wild attire surrounded the beautiful woman.

"Guardian Aetos!"

Like an angel, the guardian descended.

"I face down two cards, and that's the end of the turn!"

"The game starts with a field full of monsters...it's my turn!"

Yami Yugi draws a card from his deck.

Looking at the cards in his hand, he chose the safest way to unfold them.

"On to the main stage!"

"I send "Dark Magician" from my deck to the Graveyard, and activate the effect of "Magician's Twin Souls"! I send this card from my hand to the Graveyard, and Special Summon a "Dark Magician" or "Dark Magician Girl" in the Graveyard!"

"My most loyal servant, the Black Magician!"

Following his master's instructions, the black magician stood on the field in a heroic manner.

The spell appeared at his side.

"Then, Normal Summon 'Rock Stone Dragon, Beryl Dragon' and activate this card's effect to face down a 'Rock Stone' Spell/Trap Card from your Deck!"

"I choose 'Royal Vein of Rough Stone'!"

A magic card flew out of the deck and landed on Yami Yugi's field.

"Use 'Original Stone Dragon Variant Emerald Stone Dragon' to Link Summon 'Active Striking Dragon'!"

"Next, use the Quick-Attack Spell "Black Magician's Secret Ritual" and perform a Fusion Summon using monsters including "Black Magician" or "Black Magician Girl"!"

(This way, if the Fusion Magic is negated, the two field values will allow me to do a lot of things... If it passes, "Super Magic Dragoon - Red-Eyes Dragoon" can also resolve the situation.)

"Send 'Reborn Demon God Bimiba' to the Graveyard and activate the effect of 'Reborn Guiding God Smoot' to negate and destroy your effect!"

With a "Dark Magician" and a Dragon-Type effect monster on the field, it's easy to guess what Yami Yugi is going to Fusion Summon - Raphael can't let "Super Magic Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight" appear on the field.

But Dark Game has a backup plan.

"At this moment, the quick attack magic "Original Stone's Light Penetration" is activated!"

A powerful fast-play magic card appeared on his field.

"Since I have a Normal Monster on my field, I can target your "Guiding God Smoot" and activate this card's effect!"

"Nullify the effects of the targeted cards and banish them!"

"It's useless! Counterattack trap, "Dragon Spirit"!"

An equally powerful counter-attack trap opened up in Rafael's backfield.

"This Trap Card can only be used if there is a monster on my field with an original attack or defense of 2500!"

"Nullify and destroy your effect!"

"Counter Trap...?!"

Yami Yugi didn't expect that Raphael had such a card in his backfield.

"Then, in the next chain, I'll activate the effect of 'Reborn War God, Reborn War God,' and return your 'Active Striking Dragon' to the Extra Deck!"

This was troublesome...the lack of field value made it almost impossible for him to resolve the situation.

"Activate the 'Royal Vein of the Stone' on my field—"

"By liberating myself, I target "Royal Vein of the Stone" on your field and activate the effect of "Reborn Dragon God Veigara"! Banish that card!"

The effectiveness of continuous magic naturally disappears when the card leaves the field.

A series of chain reactions were resolved instantly, and the effects of the dark game were instantly cleared.

"...I face down two cards, and my turn ends just like that."

(Sorry for the trouble…)

Just as Yami Yugi was thinking this, Raphael on the opposite side spoke again.

"Nameless Pharaoh, did I just hear you say - your most loyal servant, the "Black Magician"? "

"...Indeed, the Black Magician is my most loyal servant."

Yami Yugi looked at the "Dark Magician" floating on the field.

"Not only that—I believe in all the monsters in my deck. They are the soul of my deck, and they will fight for me."

"Is that so? Then, perhaps I understand the difference between you and me—"

different?

It's hard to even say what they have in common...

Believing himself to be an honorable man, Yami Yugi couldn't help but wonder what a member of a terrorist organization could possibly have in common with himself.

However, looking at the "Guardian Aetos" on the opponent's field, he felt a little strange - if they were terrorists, why wouldn't the deck they used in pursuit of victory be composed of cards with extremely high card effects?

"--Perhaps, we all believe in our own decks and think they can bring us victory."

"But, to you, they are just servants, while to me they are companions - this is the difference between us, and the bond between us and the monsters."

"Partners? So, you and Guardian Aetos are partners...?"

"That's right. No matter how time passes or how things change, I will always keep this card in my deck."

Raphael picked up the "Guardian Aetos" on the Duel Disk and showed it to Yami Yugi.

The card looked a little old, with some white marks and folded corners even visible to the naked eye.

However, it is obvious that the card has been carefully reprocessed and made barely usable - it is also protected by three layers of card sleeves inside and outside.

"Of course, to ensure fairness in the duel, I've also put the same number of layers and types of card sleeves on the other cards."

"This card, Guardian Athos, has been with me since I was a child—nothing can separate us."

"It was also she who gave me the courage to survive after all my family members died in the shipwreck."

Raphael's eyes seemed to have returned to the shipwreck he had experienced more than ten years ago - sad and determined.

"..."

No, that's totally wrong.

Yami Yugi could see that the other person's personality composition was completely off.

He seems like the kind, brave guy... but that's totally not true.

Whether from his behavior or his identity as Doma's subordinate, it is clear that Raphael is undoubtedly a terrorist.

"...What you did is totally inconsistent with the light in your eyes."

"Isn't that right? That seems hard to understand—but I roughly understand what you're trying to say."

"Now, I'll tell you the answer right away—activate the effects of three "Reincarnation" monsters in the Graveyard and return them to my hand."

"And then, the effect of Dragon Spirit—if this card is in my Graveyard, you can activate it by paying 2500 Life Points to place this card facedown again."

"The card with this effect will be banished if it leaves the field."

"My turn!"

Pulling out a card from the deck—Raphael glanced at Yami Yugi.

"It seems I've drawn the card of destiny for this duel—but I might not be able to use it."

"The card of destiny...?"

"Your destiny card—Under the guidance of Guardian Aetos, I Special Summon "Reborn Dragon God Veigara" from my hand!"

The white dragon descended upon the battlefield again.

"Release this card, target the face-down card in your backfield, and activate this card's effect—ban that card!"

"Targeting the 'Reborn Dragon God Veigara' in your graveyard, I activate the effect of 'Designated of the Grave'—"

"Activate the effect of Dragon Spirit to negate and destroy your effect!"

The quick attack magic on the dark game field was broken.

"Then, I present to you 'Reborn War God, Perishte', Special Summoning 'Reborn Demon God, Bimba'! Using its effect, I add 'Reborn Heaven and Earth' from my deck to my hand—and banish 'Reborn God', allowing the banished 'Reborn Guiding God, Smoot' to Special Summon!"

"Banish 'Rebirth', bring 'Rebirth of the Dragon God Veigara' back to the field, then Special Summon 'Rebirth of the War God Peresht' from your hand!"

"Enter the combat stage!"

Raphael gave the battle order.

"The Reincarnation of the Demon God Mibiba" collided head-on with the "Black Magician", and both were injured.

"Then, it's the attack of 'Reborn Dragon God Weigela'!"

The white dragon shone brightly and swooped down towards Yami Yugi.

"Trap Card, 'Rock of the Stone'! I Special Summon 'Black Magician' from the Deck or Graveyard—"

"I send "Reborn War God Perishte" to the Graveyard to activate the effect of "Reborn Guiding God Smoot," negating your effect and destroying it!"

The trap in Yami Yugi's backfield shattered again - but this time, he managed to survive.

"A direct attack from "Reborn Dragon God Veigara", "Reborn God of War", and "Reborn God of War Pereshite"!"

Dark Game LP: 8000-5500-3000-500

The wind blew up Yami Yugi's clothes and flew them into the air.

The virtual blade was pulled out from his chest, and the guardian turned and left.

"……call."

"Even with this expression of having survived a catastrophe, Nameless Pharaoh, you should realize that the current situation is completely hopeless for you."

"Any card set by 'Original Stone Dragon, Beryl Dragon' in your hand will be banished by 'Reborn Dragon God Veigara'."

"The card you draw will be negated and destroyed by 'Smoot, the Guiding God of Reincarnation'."

"Not to mention, I have a 'Rebirth of Heaven and Earth' waiting for you—this might be what despair is."

Yami Yugi couldn't help but look at his deck.

That’s right, what Raphael said was not false—it seemed that there were no cards in his deck that could break this situation.

"Let me tell you, the true purpose of our Doma—that is to return this world to 'nothingness'."

"Use human souls to guide our God to come, and use His power to destroy everything in this world—and then rebuild it."

"So, why..."

"Don't you think the world is completely broken? Wars are rampant, disasters are everywhere—foolish humans have pushed most of themselves into a dead end."

Raphael interrupted Yami Yugi's questioning.

"Among these disasters, the vast majority are caused by humans inflicting harm on themselves."

"What's the point of preserving a world like this?"

"but--"

"Dorma wasn't originally an organization that planned to destroy the world."

"It's a group led by Master Dazhi that supports the development of the world."

Raphael describes Doma's past to Yami Yugi.
