"Synchro Summon! Fly—Stardust Dragon!"
[Stardust Dragon] Level 8│WIND│Dragon│2500 ATK
Stardust Dragon soared with a magnificent spiral, its wings unfurling in radiant brilliance as it flew across the Starlight Road, covering both the explosive energy of the Earthbound Lizard and the burning Nazca Line beneath it in shimmering light.
All that remained was a sky glittering with stars once more.
"He actually used the power of an Earthbound Immortal… to call forth Stardust Dragon!"
Krista stared in shock… unaware her cheeks had flushed a vivid red.
Two forces that once stood as absolute opposites were now creating a brand-new form of combat in Miles's hands.
"That move… is so cool…"
"She's hopeless. Absolutely gone." Aoyao squinted, expression blank. "She's not even pretending anymore."
"Just toss her over to Fusion Academy already." Lost rolled up her sleeves, ready to haul her away.
The Three Polar Gods had finished all their attacks this turn; yet to Nid Hogg's disbelief, Miles had not only survived their storm of divine blows, but he had even changed the momentum and placed another Synchro Monster—Stardust Dragon—onto the field.
"As expected of you. Even with all Three Polar Gods on the field, I still can't finish you immediately?"
Rune Eyes gleamed with their strongest radiance: proof that this battlefield with all Three Aesir present was the pinnacle of Nid's control.
"Then let the Ragnarök countdown continue."
Racing ahead, Nid gestured toward the Continuous Trap in his back row—[Gjallarhorn].
"I end my turn. And during my End Phase, the countdown to Ragnarök enters its final stage—one turn remains!"
With Nid's declaration, the number "1" carved above Gjallarhorn shifted to "2".
After three of Nid's own End Phases passed, the horn could be activated, unleashing massive damage upon Miles.
As Nid said, only one turn remained before Ragnarök.
Despite that, with all Three Polar Gods suppressing the field, Miles's most immediate problem wasn't even Gjallarhorn… it was how he would survive the next turn's divine assault.
With only Stardust Dragon, he unquestionably could not withstand all three Aesir.
And the worst part: even if Stardust Dragon managed to destroy one, they would all revive unconditionally at the End Phase.
"Looks like it really comes down to this one card."
Before drawing, Miles glanced at the last face-down card beside his D-Wheel.
If that card worked, he had a chance to end the Aesir for good.
But the greatest obstacle… was Odin. As long as Odin remained, Miles's Spell/Trap Cards couldn't affect any Divine-Beast monsters.
"Then I'll tear open a possibility—using Stardust's power!"
Riders switched lanes; Miles drew.
"My turn—draw!"
[Aisha, SPC: 5→6]
[Nid, SPC: 5→6]
Miles scanned his hand, then swiftly threw down a Spell.
"Spell Card: Pot of Greed! I draw two more cards!"
Pot answered Pot. With that, both duelists had now shattered their own Pot of Greed.
"I'm counting on you, Stardust! Connect me to a path forward—draw!"
Miles drew two cards with the radiance of Spirit Eyes. One card shone brilliantly—the light of salvation.
"I activate the effect of [Converging Wills Dragon] from my hand!"
[When you draw this card: Reveal it to your opponent to Special Summon it from your hand. If you control a Level 8 or higher Dragon Synchro, you can Special Summon 1 Level 1 Dragon monster from your Deck.]
"Let the light of salvation link with hope—reverse Ragnarök! Special Summon—[Converging Wills Dragon]!"
[Converging Wills Dragon] Level 1│LIGHT│Dragon│Tuner│0 ATK
[While on the field or in the Graveyard, this card is treated as "Majestic Dragon".]
Its body weak but wings shining faintly red, Converging Wills Dragon flew beside Stardust Dragon.
"When Converging Wills Dragon is Special Summoned while you control a Level 8 or higher Dragon Synchro, you can Special Summon a Level 1 Dragon from your Deck!"
With just one card, Majestic Synchro was fully enabled.
Under Converging Wills Dragon's pull, a new Level 1 Dragon emerged from Aisha's Deck.
"Come forth—Special Summon! [Stardust Xiaolong]!"
[Stardust Xiaolong] Level 1│LIGHT│Dragon│100 ATK
A non-Tuner Dragon manifested in the light of salvation. Three Dragons flew side-by-side, shining defiantly before the Three Polar Gods.
"With salvation's Synchro, I forge my chance to win!"
Miles swung his arm toward the triad of Dragons overhead.
"Level 1 Tuner [Converging Wills Dragon]! Level 1 [Stardust Xiaolong]! Level 8 [Stardust Dragon]! Total Level—10! Majestic Synchro Summon!"
"He's actually attempting a Majestic Synchro… in front of the Three Aesir?"
The Runes within Nid's eyes trembled at high frequency—feeling the threat.
1★ + 1★ + 8★ = 10★!
The three Dragons soared in parallel, merging in radiant Synchro light.
"The gathered starlight illuminates a path to new miracles—become the shining road! Synchro Summon! Descend—Majestic Star Dragon!"
[Majestic Star Dragon] Level 10│WIND│Dragon│3800 ATK
[Majestic Dragon + Stardust Dragon + 1 non-Tuner monster]
Its wings spread wide with the light of salvation, Majestic Star Dragon tore through the angry storm clouds above—shining down upon the battlefield.
"Majestic Star Dragon… 3800 Attack?"
Its Attack surpassed both Thor and Loki—but still fell short of Odin's 4000.
"Even with Majestic's strength, you still can't change the outcome!" Nid declared. "Even if you destroy Thor or Loki, the Aesir will revive! And you'll lose next turn!"
"I can change it!" Miles clenched his fist, pointing to the dragon overhead. "I activate the effect of [Majestic Star Dragon]!"
[Once per turn: Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; negate its effects until the End Phase, and if you do, this card gains those effects.]
"—'Ascension Absorb'! Majestic Star Dragon negates and absorbs the effects of [Odin, Father of the Aesir]!"
Majestic Star Dragon's radiant wings expanded—stealing Odin's authority.
This was the true purpose of summoning Majestic Star Dragon.
Did you think Majestic was summoned to fight?
No. Majestic alone could never defeat all three Aesir.
By suppressing Odin's divine ability, Majestic Star Dragon was clearing the path for Miles's real trump card.
"With Odin's effect negated and absorbed, your Divine-Beast monsters are now affected by my Spell and Trap Cards!"
Odin's effect normally prevented Divine-Beast monsters from being affected by the opponent's Spells/Traps.
But now that Majestic Star Dragon had taken that effect, "opponent" referred to Nid, not Miles.
Meaning Miles's cards worked normally—and Nid's own cards could not protect his gods.
"And now… my true ace—my true finishing blow—this card!"
Racing forward, Miles slammed a card onto his Duel Disk.
"Brace yourselves, Three Aesir! I Normal Summon—[Mokey Mokey]!"
[Mokey Mokey] Level 1│LIGHT│Fairy│300 ATK
Such a dazzling setup—drawing Converging Wills Dragon at the perfect moment, evolving Stardust Dragon into Majestic Star Dragon through a salvation Synchro, then suppressing Odin with overwhelming radiance and absorbing the god-king's ability.
And after all of that, the monster Miles summoned was…
￣ー￣?
Takehiko: "…Hah?!"
Everyone was stunned. Even Takehiko, who aspired to become a professional commentator, found himself utterly unable to form an analysis.
'Why… a block of tofu?'
Before the overwhelming presence of the Three Aesir, Aisha Carlos had cried out with the intensity of a finishing blow… only for Miles to summon a creature with virtually no combat ability.
The people of Axet, the students of Synchron Academy—they couldn't comprehend this "power" yet.
Meanwhile, at Fusion Academy, where the crowd was watching remotely from the main plaza… the reaction was the complete opposite.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!"
The Fusion Academy students erupted.
"FINALLY! Mokey Mokey is here!!"
"What do you mean 'Mokey Mokey'? Call it Mokey Mokey GOD!"
"Make the Three Aesir tremble before the terrifying white demon!"
"Use the Mokey Punch on them!!"
The frenzy was so intense that it felt as though they weren't seeing a block of tofu—but a supreme god capable of performing miracles.
And they were right. They had already witnessed countless miracles brought forth by Mokey Mokey.
"Explode, Mokey Mokey!" Racing at high speed, Miles flipped his final face-down card.
For this card to work, he had specifically used Majestic Star Dragon to negate Odin's ability.
"With this ultimate Mokey Punch—I'll wreck all Three Aesir!"
"…What are you talking about?"
Even with Rune Eyes shining intensely, Nid couldn't grasp Miles's intent.
Until he saw the Trap Card flipped face-up.
"—Trap Card: 'A Major Upset'!"
[Tribute 1 face-up Level 2 or lower monster you control; return all face-up Level 7 or higher Special Summoned monsters on the field to the hand.]
It was a Trap that required Tributing a Level 2 or lower monster.
Its effect: Return every Level 7 or higher Special Summoned monster to the hand.
And the Three Aesir, all Synchro Summoned, fit the condition perfectly.
While Nid had basked in the convenience of summoning the Aesir from the Extra Deck, he overlooked the drawback:
If they returned to the hand, Extra Deck monsters must return to the Extra Deck instead.
Not destroyed. Not sent to the Graveyard.
Returned.
They could not activate their revival effects.
This Mokey Punch was a perfect, absolute erasure of the Aesir.
"I Tribute my Level 1 Mokey Mokey—and unleash the ultimate strike!"
Power surged—changing the little white tofu into a burning red aura, heat radiating around it as though it surpassed even the gods of Norse myth.
"B-Bakana!" Nid Hogg's Rune Eyes widened. "The Three Aesir—three divine monsters of the Astral Plane—are going to be wiped out… by something so utterly insignificant?!"
"What's there to be surprised about, Nid Hogg?!"
The starlight Miles once clenched burst into blazing fire—enough to burn gods.
"Mokey Mokey has beaten gods before! The Aesir aren't the first!"
"Mr. Miles!"
"Let's do it, Aisha!"
"Mm!"
"Execution of the gods—ultimate strike! Mokey Mokey Fist of the Firmament!!"
The tiny arms of the tofu creature swung with burning power—the Mokey Punch exploded like a raging dragon.
That single blow pierced the heavens.
In one hit, it punched through all Three Aesir—shattering even the storm clouds of Odin's divine thunder.
The audience's jaws practically fell off. They had been utterly baffled when Mokey Mokey was summoned—and now they were equally shocked.
A block of tofu… had annihilated the Three Aesir at their root.
Mokey Mokey: "Is the power of gods really so small?"
The Mokey-led god-slaying list expanded. After defeating the strongest Earthbound Immortal, the Aesir joined the list—neatly, as a whole family.
[Odin, Father of the Aesir] → Returned to Extra Deck
[Loki, Lord of the Aesir] → Returned to Extra Deck
[Thor, Lord of the Aesir] → Returned to Extra Deck
Stardust Dragon: "Hey—what about me?! I got hit too!"
[Majestic Star Dragon] → Returned to Extra Deck
In a single sweep, the battlefield of the Turbo Duel was left barren—no monsters remained.
Only a massive crater, blown open by Mokey Mokey's fist tearing through the Three Aesir.
