He suddenly heard a rumbling sound and instinctively looked up, only to see the enormous Sealing Gate in the sky, exuding black aura, slowly opening. An entity filled with resentment seemed to be descending from the sky.
Many spirits trembled in fear, hiding behind the Lion Witch or Tenjo Hikari, anxiously gazing at the sky.
The whole world seemed to be shrouded by this resentment!
His pupils shrank—
Could it be!
He thought of a possibility.
Have they still not given up on [Exodia]?!
Ed gritted his teeth; in fact, he had specially prepared counter cards for this Duel… Although they might not be useful now, this phenomenon… had to be covered.
"Set two cards, end turn."
"My turn, draw!" Amon drew a card, glanced down at it.
Dark Factory of Mass Production!
Perfect!
With this, I can retrieve the normal Monsters from the Graveyard——
He silently set this card down: "I set a card. Next, I activate the effect of the Kingdom of Fog!"
"By sending this card with all 5 attics lit and the Hand Card to the Graveyard, you can add 4 Monster Cards from the Graveyard to the Hand Card!"
"What!?" Ed was shocked.
How could this be!
This is——
Full recovery!
The Kingdom of Fog began to slowly crumble, and in the sky, the monster filled with resentment started tearing apart the gate that bound it.
The spirits began to tremble, and the whole world seemed on the verge of collapse.
This newly born "Mementomictlan" world looked like it was on the brink of total destruction!
"I add the Forbidden Exodia, the Forbidden Left Arm, the Forbidden Right Arm, and the Fog King from the Graveyard to the Hand Card!"
Those four cards?
"And it's not over yet, Ed——" Amon revealed a confident look, "Open the Set Card—Normal Spell Card, Dark Factory of Mass Production, this card can recover two normal Monsters from the Graveyard!"
This way, I win——Ed!"
Ed's pupils contracted, seeing Amon about to add the cards from the Graveyard to his Hand Card, he quickly activated a Set Card: "Trap Card, Mind Crush!"
!!!
"Guess a card name; if your opponent has that card in their Hand Card, all copies of that card are discarded!"
"I declare… Forbidden Exodia!"
"Awww!!!!'
In the sky, the Dark Great Mage let out a terrifying roar, and endless resentment surged around Ed, nearly suffocating him, while Amon watched the scene, dumbfounded.
Boom——
Exodia in his hand was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, simultaneously, two other Exodia components from the Graveyard returned to his hand.
Four cards——
Still insufficient!
"…Hahaha——Ed, is this your persistence?"
Ed calmly looked at his opponent.
"But——it's not over yet!"
Is there more!
Ed widened his eyes.
"Activate the effect of the Spell Card in the Graveyard, Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord!"
That's…
The card sent to the Graveyard in the last turn?
Accompanied by Amon's call, in the sky, that terrifying gate had already been torn open by Exodia!
A colossal hand descended from the sky, grasping at the spirits, causing a chaotic scramble, leaving only Aiko standing calmly.
"Aiko!?!" Ed called out to her.
But——
Aiko merely closed her eyes, awaiting the hand's grasp.
Amon's face was expressionless, his eyes obscured by the reflection, he lowered his head slightly, saying, "As expected, to unseal Exodia, it's not done with mere tricks… the unsealing ritual must be performed."
From the Graveyard, the Forbidden Exodia automatically popped out.
"When Ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord is in the Graveyard and there are 5 different cards with [Forbidden] in their names in my Hand Card and Graveyard, it can be activated. All cards with Forbidden in the Graveyard return to the Deck. Send 2 cards with [Forbidden] in their name from the Hand Card to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 [Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord] from the Deck or Hand Card!"
What's that!?
With Ed's shock, the gate in the sky was completely breached!
A monster exuding black aura, entirely different from the legendary Dark Great Mage, stepped forth and descended.
It grabbed Aiko, who let out a piercing scream before succumbing to unconsciousness in pain!
Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord, LV 10, Dark Attribute, Spellcaster-Type, ATK?
The unsealing ritual of the Ultimate Forbidden Lord officially begins!
