The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Tiffany was clearly overwhelmed by the disturbance. A hurried voice rang out from the clouds, followed by a flash of light in the sky. A huge torii gate descended from the sky, suppressing the "White Dragon of the Sky" from the clouds.

　The torii gate was placed on the body of the "Sky Dragon," pressing it down from the sky and pinning it to the ground, as if sealing it.

　Meanwhile, in the sky, the battle between the "Sky White Dragon" and the "Sky Divine Bird" was evenly matched.

　The battle was extremely fierce, with the cries of dragons and birds filling the air, and feathers and scales falling down in a flurry.

　However, it is clear that the attributes of the two sides are similar, and the damage caused is not obvious.

　A hint of excitement flashed in Pandora's eyes, and only then did she draw a magic card from the Duel Disk, murmuring softly.

　As the incantation was chanted, the luminous pearl appeared.

　She reached out and held the snow-white dragon pearl, then tossed it gently.

　The dragon ball flashed by, and when it reappeared, it was already hanging under the neck of the "Sky White Dragon" in the sky.

　The white dragon, whose scales were originally snow-white and delicate, and whose body was slender and beautiful, suddenly underwent a strange change.

　Its body suddenly swelled up under the influence of the dragon ball, and a very long crack appeared on its dragon skin.

　The "Sky Bird" tried to attack while the crack was open, but a bright light shot out from the crack, stinging its eyes. It let out a sharp cry and instinctively retreated.

　The brighter the light, the more the roar of a dragon echoed in the void, and an increasingly intense aura of dragon might emanated from it.

　The Dragon Ball disappeared in a flash of white light, and the dragon skin was then shed.

　A white dragon with snow-white horns suddenly emerged from the crack. This white dragon was entirely white, with no trace of silver remaining, and a dragon pearl appeared on its neck. But it was not abrupt; white clouds swirled around its four claws.

　Faintly, one could see a blue breeze moving around it. The influence of the "Sky Edict" on it had completely vanished.

　"Shedding the old skin, revealing the true form..."

　Dark murmured to himself, and suddenly understood.

　Senior Pandora actually imitated his "evolution" and developed such a magic card that can give "Sky White Dragon" a single evolution.

　The Dragon Ball contained the power of a true dragon, which enabled the "Sky White Dragon" to leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into the "Heavenly Dragon." Although its specific star rating is unknown at this point, it must have already surpassed nine stars and truly entered the fourth tier.

　From nine stars to ten stars, in addition to the normal increase in the three attributes, there will be an additional 1,000 points of increase.

　It already possesses the "Heavenly Dragon" passive ability, so its three attributes must already be extremely exaggerated.

　Its attributes have also changed, with the addition of "flying" attributes, and wind elements naturally surging around it.

　The next moment, Dark saw the "Heavenly Dragon" raise its head and roar, and more elements gathered from all directions, forming a layer of snow-white dragon armor on its body!

　With that layer of dragon armor on its body, its originally "slender" body finally became a little "stronger," and its appearance became even more majestic.

　Visibly, its defense instantly rose to a new level. Under these circumstances, the "Sky Bird" was no longer a match for this "Heavenly Dragon".

　Sure enough, the "Heavenly Dragon" coiled its body and shot out, biting the "Sky Divine Bird" in the neck with lightning speed.

　The "Sky Divine Bird" emitted flashes of blue light, and its two iron claws viciously clawed at the "Heavenly Dragon." But at this moment, it could not break through the defenses, and the attack was completely ineffective, causing no pain or itch.

　At this moment, almost all the audience's attention was focused on this spot. The once extremely powerful divine bird suddenly became vulnerable, its neck embedded with dragon teeth, and its magic power was rapidly draining away, about to be bitten off.

　The "Sky Bird" cried out incessantly, its struggle growing weaker and weaker. From within the white clouds, Tiffany finally made her move.

　"Om-"

　Abruptly, a buzzing sound suddenly rang out.

　Immediately afterwards, a golden light cleaved through the white clouds, shooting straight into the sky and transforming into a pillar of light. Following the gaze, a large golden bell materialized within the pillar of light.

　The sound of the bell grew increasingly piercing, and golden halos continued to emanate from it in all directions.

　The audience outside the venue felt the noise and instinctively covered their ears.

　Inside the arena, both magical elves and mages were stunned by the sound of the bell, their minds buzzing and dizzy.

　"Tenryu," which should have been unaffected by transformation-type special moves, suddenly stopped.

　But the "Sky Bird" did not escape. It too was intimidated by the sound of the bell, and even its mournful cries weakened.

　On the ground, the "Sky White Dragon" that had been suppressed by the giant torii gate suddenly softened.

　Pandora frowned, clearly affected as well. The entire arena froze as the bell tolled. Everyone, including the magical spirits, ceased their movements.

　—No, within the clouds, Tiffany was unaffected. Deep within the clouds, unseen by outsiders.

　Tiffany held two magic cards in her hand. One of them was called "Sky Bell".

　That's picking

　This item card is created by collecting fragments of the golden bell in the central temple of Sky City.

　The "Sky Bell" carries divine power. Although it is not as good as the original, it can still be categorized as a "divine artifact".

　The other magic card in her hand is called "Sky Punishment," which is a magic card.

　The condition for activating "Heavenly Punishment" is that the opponent disrespects the "sky." What constitutes disrespect for the sky?

　In short, they attacked the messengers of the sky god. The "sky bird" or "sky priest" can be considered messengers of the sky god.

　Using "Sky Punishment" can punish those who are disrespectful. However, although this magic card is of a high rank, it is not invincible. Therefore, you need to first immobilize the target with "Sky Bell" before unleashing the divine punishment to deliver a fatal blow.

　Tiffany was very aware of the gap between herself and Pandora.

　Even if we summon the Sky Guardian, we might not win this match. Moreover, the Sky Guardian isn't actually that useful. Its existence time is limited, its number of attacks is also limited, and its attack frequency is extremely low.

　The duel between Disney and Aurora serves as a cautionary tale. Summoning the "Guardian of the Sky" does not guarantee victory. On the contrary, the "Divine Punishment of the Sky" is faster to activate and possesses the power of a single strike from the "Guardian of the Sky."

　Once it hits, it's a fatal blow!

　At this crucial moment, Tiffany's expression remained calm. She had been planning this for a long time, and now only the final step remained: activating "Heavenly Punishment"!

　"God of the Sky, punish the disrespectful!"

　The magic was already fully contained.

　At this point, simply activate it.

　She suddenly raised her hand, and a blinding white light immediately shone on the card face of "Heavenly Punishment".

　The white light even pierced through the clouds and illuminated the sky.

　At that moment, all the spectators saw the light of divine punishment and almost immediately realized that Tiffany was about to launch an attack!

　Supporters of St. Mary's Academy couldn't help but feel worried. But the activation of "Heavenly Punishment" was only momentary. As worries arose, the divine punishment had already arrived. "Rumble!"

　The sky suddenly split open, and thunder roared in.

　From the pitch-black, invisible crack in the sky, a giant hand suddenly reached out and pressed down with an extremely terrifying force.

　The giant hand covered almost half of the area. As the giant hand appeared, a divine aura suddenly erupted.

　When your gaze is focused, you can feel the majesty, and a feeling of suffocation naturally arises in your heart.

　Panic immediately gripped me, and I was filled with terror.

　If simply looking at this giant hand is so affecting, what would happen if it struck down with its palm?

　Many viewers even imagined themselves being smashed into mincemeat with a single blow.

　Driven by such terror, the giant hand suddenly traversed the distance between the sky and the earth, crushing down upon Pandora and Dragon on the ground.

　"Boom!"

　The earth shattered, and dust erupted. Half of the site collapsed as a result.

　The chimes of the "Sky Bell" suddenly disappeared.

　All the magical spirits have recovered.

　Although lingering dizziness remained, he was no longer immobile. Unnoticed by anyone, a black light flickered within the white dragon's skin. Outside the arena, the referee abruptly stood up, his gaze fixed intently on the field. He needed to determine the outcome, which required confirming the fate of the contestants.

　But the red team's field was crushed and pulverized by the giant hand, with billowing smoke and dust obscuring the view. Even the "graveyard" area collapsed.

　Of course, the "cemetery" cannot be destroyed, but it is temporarily difficult to tell whether anyone has been reborn in the "cemetery".

　Amidst the white clouds.

　At this moment, a look of tension appeared on Tiffany's face. She also needed to ascertain Pandora's fate.

　However, the referee's whistle was delayed.

　This gave her a slight sense of foreboding.

　The power of "Heavenly Punishment" should theoretically be overwhelming. When Pandora was frozen in place by the divine bell and unable to escape, she could not possibly withstand the crushing force of that giant hand.

　However, as time ticked by, even the gasps of the spectators returned, but the whistle to signal the end of the duel had not yet sounded.

　Even the roar of the white dragon resounded. The "Heavenly Dragon" once again pounced on the "Sky Divine Bird".

　The "Sky Bird," which had just narrowly escaped death, chose to flee.

　Its speed was incredibly fast, even the "sky" struggled to keep up for a while.

　On the ground, the dragon skin that "Heavenly Dragon" had shed actually started moving again. The cracks in the dragon skin were stitched back together, and although the body was slightly flattened, it had indeed come to life.

　The first thing it did after being resurrected was to crash into the huge torii gate not far away, in order to rescue the "Tenkuu White Dragon" that was being suppressed by the torii gate.

　Everything is in order.

　Pandora's fate remains unknown.

　But the magical spirits in the arena all began to move again. After a period of mental block, Tiffany suddenly gritted her teeth and took action.

　Since the referee did not blow the whistle and there was no indication of victory in the duel arena, it means that the opponent did not die from "Heavenly Punishment".

　Even if you don't know how your opponent did it, a duelist should be prepared to face any possibility.

　Tiffany quickly adjusted her mindset and drew the Ritual card "Panic of the Gods" from her new hand.

　Unlike Disney, Tiffany directly mastered a cryptic card called "Palmtops of the Eye".

　As long as there is a magical spirit in her field that can use "Touch of the Gods", she can activate this ritual to summon the "Guardian of the Sky"!

　Even if Pandora successfully escaped from the "Heavenly Punishment," she would not be in good condition at this time.

　Summoning the "Sky Guardian" at this point is a classic move to capitalize on the victory.

　She used "Call of the Gods" on the "Sky Priest." The "Sky Priest" immediately opened its arms and called out to the sky. Its call carried a strange melody and was extremely penetrating, echoing in the air in the blink of an eye.

　Even as the cheers from the audience grew louder, they could not drown out the cries of the "Sky Priest".

　Within the venue, the "Divine Cause" resounded, its melody, combined with the invocation, making it appear even more sacred and grand.

　"Descend, guardian of the sky!" Tiffany's expression was extremely solemn.

　She saw the otherworldly shadow of "Sky Illusion".

　The ghostly figure drifted aimlessly, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear.

　At a certain point, it suddenly grew larger.

　As if responding to a call, it suddenly spread its wings, and its entire body rose higher and higher as its wings spread, stretching beyond the white clouds in the blink of an eye, and continued to grow until it stood tall and upright.

　This is the third time that the "Guardian of the Sky" has appeared in this dueling arena.

　Both those inside and outside the dueling arena are no longer unfamiliar with it.

　But no matter how many times I look at it, I can't lessen the fear I feel when I look directly at it.

　Whenever it lowers its head and looks down, within its field of vision, it feels as if it is being stared at, and one trembles all over.

　With the slightest movement, an extremely terrifying aura descended along with its oppressive force.

　The sheer power was so overwhelming that even the dragon's might paled in comparison. Even the "Heavenly Dragon" chasing the "Sky Divine Bird" could not rival it.

　It wasn't a difference in power, but rather a metaphysical concept. At such times, countless people would keep their eyes fixed on the "Guardian of the Sky." At such times, the statue representing the "Guardian of the Sky" in the central temple of the Sky City would emit a jade-like radiance.

　The lord of Sky City stood before the statue, his gaze deep, but not as if he were looking at the statue itself, but at something behind it.

　"Roar--"

　The "Sky White Dragon" roared in defiance.

　With the massive torii gate smashed to pieces, it was finally freed from its oppression.

　The other "Sky White Dragon" that emerged from the dragon's skin seemed unable to make a sound, only raising its head and roaring silently.

　Although it is also a "Sky White Dragon", it is already a Ghost-type Undead Magical Spirit.

　"Wow—"

　The screams of the [Sky Bird] suddenly rang out.
