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

　It had already been caught up by the "Heavenly Dragon" and had its wing bitten off. Then the dragon's body coiled up and its claws clamped down.

　The "Heavenly Dragon" suddenly roared, its body seemingly burning, emitting a white light.

　"Roar--"

　The "Sky Bird" was actually torn in two!

　This ten-star magical spirit perished on the spot, right before the guardian deity's eyes.

　The will of the "Guardian of the Sky" suddenly crushed over us.

　The "Heavenly Dragon" roared suddenly, turning to face the "Guardian of the Sky," and white light gathered wildly from its suddenly opened mouth.

　It showed no fear of the "Guardian of the Sky" and was not intimidated by its divine power.

　The bird's head of the "Guardian of the Sky" suddenly turned, its eyes blazing with fury.

　"Boom!"

　A thunderous sound suddenly arose in the void. But no lightning appeared; only the air exploded.

　The turbulence that had been echoing in the sky due to the "Sky Pardon" suddenly disappeared, and the entire sky became eerily still for a moment.

　But after extreme stillness comes extreme movement.

　The next instant, an extremely fast and terrifying storm swept in.

　The "Guardian of the Sky" suddenly raised his right hand and slammed it down towards the "sky".

　It has a bird's head and bird's claws, but its hands are like a human's.

　The palm was enormous, and the airflow generated by pressing down on it continued to radiate outwards, covering almost half the area with a single strike.

　Upon closer inspection, one will find that the giant hand of the "Heavenly Punishment" was based on this.

　It turns out that the terrifying divine punishment was just an ordinary palm strike from the "Guardian of the Sky".

　It raised its palm, and the air in the entire venue rushed toward that palm. Visually, it looked as if the whole world was collapsing into that palm.

　The fear in the audience grew stronger.

　Even though it wasn't the first time I'd seen it, I couldn't suppress my instincts. But the more afraid I was, the more I wanted to look.

　Because deep down, they knew they were safe. "Roar—"

　The white light from the "Heavenly Dragon's" mouth was the first to be emitted.

　But that thick, long white light was actually slapped away by the "Guardian of the Sky"!

　It was clearly an energy ray, but it was slapped away, the white light bending and shooting downwards.

　However, the giant hand of the "Sky Guardian" did not stop at all and continued to strike the "Heavenly Dragon".

　The result of that strike was obvious.

　Even this "heavenly dragon" couldn't withstand divine punishment. The sounds from the sidelines ceased, and all eyes were fixed on it.

　It froze at that moment. But the scene I had envisioned did not appear.

　The giant hand of the "Guardian of the Sky" slammed down on the spot where the "Heavenly Dragon" was, but only touched the air.

　The white dragon, whose presence was second only to the "Guardian of the Sky," suddenly disappeared at the last second.

　—But it's not entirely without clues.

　The audience almost immediately noticed that a beam of white light shot out from where the "Heavenly Dragon" had disappeared—the "Heavenly Dragon" had turned into light before it was smashed!

　"Fusion."

　A crisp, melodious sound suddenly rang out from the ground.

　Tiffany, amidst the white clouds, was suddenly startled and immediately turned towards the source of the sound.

　As the smoke and dust dissipated slightly, a glimmer of white light appeared, and Pandora's figure faintly emerged within it.

　That alone is not enough to see her current state; all that can be confirmed is that she is still alive despite enduring the "divine punishment from the heavens."

　As for that thing that shimmered with white light...

　That was not some unfathomable secret in the first place.

　Tiffany, who watched the entire Academy Cup, immediately realized that it was "Advanced Fusion"!

　But doesn't Pandora's "Higher Fusion" require three "Sky Dragons" as materials?

　An indescribable look of surprise appeared in Tiffany's eyes. Her gaze quickly swept across the entire scene, and she finally realized that there were indeed three dragons on the spot.

　Of these three dragons, one is the "Heavenly Dragon" transformed from the "Sky White Dragon," another is a ghost dragon reborn from dragon skin, and only the last one is the true "Sky White Dragon."

　—This can also be integrated.

　“Those who don’t understand ‘fusion’ might find it hard to comprehend,” Dark said softly, the worry that had been creeping onto his face finally fading away.

　That combination of "Sky Bell" and "Sky Punishment" is truly terrifying.

　He was really startled just now.

　If it were him, he might lose a "Blessing of the Wind Spirit".

　Unless, a "fairy puppet" was arranged in advance.

　But since she's Pandora, we should trust her first, then trust her again, and that's all that matters.

　With the activation of "higher integration".

　The "Heavenly Dragon" first turned into white light, followed by the "Sky Dome White Dragon" and the "Sky Dome White Dragon Ghost" on the ground.

　According to the "fusion rules," even though both the "Heavenly Dragon" and the "Sky Dome White Dragon Ghost" can be considered "Sky Dome White Dragons," at least one true "Sky Dome White Dragon" is still required for the fusion to be completed.

　Therefore, the "White Dragon of the Sky" is the necessary material.

　Using these three white dragons as materials, Pandora successfully fused them together using "Advanced Fusion" to create a three-headed white dragon—[Celestial Ultimate Dragon].

　"Boom!"

　With a thunderous roar, the sky split open once more. White light spilled out, transforming into a pillar of light that suddenly pierced down.

　The entire venue was illuminated in that instant, and a three-headed, serpentine white dragon materialized within the pillar of light.

Chapter 1277 [2 votes requested] Darkdemon, God, and the Secret Chamber (2)

　Six pairs of slender dragon eyes shone with white light, exuding majesty like a celestial being, and stared intently at the "Guardian of the Sky"!

　For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

　"Celestial Ultimate Dragon" is a magical spirit of twelve stars.

　It also possesses the passive ultimate skill "Heavenly Dragon", which elevates its rank from the fourth tier to the fifth tier.

　However, the "Celestial Dragon" that was transformed from the Dragon Ball was actually also at the fifth tier.

　However, after this fusion summoning, it was discovered that there are differences between the fifth tiers.

　Just like how both higher and lower gods belong to the divine realm.

　While the fifth tier isn't yet the divine tier, it still has levels of power. This "Celestial Ultimate Dragon" is clearly positioned above "Celestial Dragon." Comparing it to the "Sky Guardian," one finds that the "Sky Guardian's" rank is only slightly different from the "Celestial Ultimate Dragon's."

　—It has not yet reached the level of a god!

　"As expected, the sixth tier is the tier of gods."

　"This 'Guardian of the Sky'... at least this projection clearly hasn't reached the divine level yet."

　Dark's eyes had already turned golden as he carefully observed the situation on the field.

　This duel is far from over.

　Theoretically speaking, even if "Sky Ultimate Dragon" and "Sky Guardian" are of similar rank, given the terrifying attacks "Sky Guardian" has displayed in previous duels, its attribute panel should still be far superior to "Sky Ultimate Dragon".

　It's not a wise choice for Pandora to try and go toe-to-toe with the "Sky Guardian" using only "Sky Ultimate Dragon".

　At this point, she should stall for time until the "Guardian of the Sky" disappears naturally, or switch her attack to Tiffany and kill her first.

　After all, the "Sky Guardian" didn't react very quickly, and the "Sky Ultimate Dragon" was strong enough to hold its own against it.

　But Pandora clearly had no intention of dealing with her anymore.

　The three openings of the "Sky Ultimate Dragon" opened simultaneously, and light elements converged wildly, condensing into three huge orbs of light within the dragon's mouth.

　The "Guardian of the Sky" erupted in silent fury, raising his right hand once more.

　But in that instant, Dark suddenly realized that the imposing presence it had when it raised its right hand was not as great as before.

　It's extremely difficult to tell from the surface, since even with some reduction, the power of this right hand is still terrifying.

　However, a deeper comparison reveals differences. It's as if a certain mechanism failed to trigger for some reason, causing the "Guardian of the Sky's" power to decrease significantly.

　Dark frowned sharply, his mind racing. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he felt certain. "Could it be because of my rank?"

　"Could this 'Guardian of the Sky' possibly be able to increase its power based on its rank?"

　"The greater the difference in rank, the greater the increase in power."

　"Now that the 'Celestial Ultimate Dragon' is almost at the same level as it, it cannot use this to increase its power."

　"But what if its opponent is of a higher rank? It seems that it would be weakened as a result."

　"What ability to bully the weak and fear the strong?"

　Dark's eyes darted around, and he immediately realized that Pandora was not acting without a plan, but had figured out the secret of the "Sky Guardian" before controlling the "Sky Ultimate Dragon" to confront it head-on!

　At this point, the activity level of the "divine cause" within the arena had reached a certain critical point.

　The appearance of the "Sky Guardian" caused a large number of "divine beings" to suddenly become active.

　Then, the fusion and manifestation of "Celestial Ultimate Dragon" activated a portion of the "Divine Causes".

　These "divine causes" seem to also respond to "divinity" and to high-ranking magical spirits.

　They gather because of "divinity" and are naturally attracted to those who possess "divinity".

　This phenomenon had been observed in previous duels, but it was particularly pronounced in this one.

　Does this mean that using "God Cards" in duels naturally attracts a large number of (divine influences)?

　Setting aside his growing distractions, Dark focused intently on the duel.

　The "Sky Ultimate Dragon's" beam is not as simple as each of its three heads shooting out white light.

　It demonstrated this in the battle against the "Black Abyss Dragon." The white light emitted from its three heads would merge into one, gaining an incredibly terrifying power boost. After piercing through the target's body, it could also explode from within, causing secondary damage.

　If the "Guardian of the Sky's" abilities are truly as he claims, perhaps...

　In the blink of an eye, white light burst forth from the three heads of the "Sky Ultimate Dragon".

　The white light indeed merged into one, and then... in an instant, it pierced through the head of the "Sky Guardian"!

　Even though its head was as enormous as its body, the white light emitted by the "Sky Ultimate Dragon" looked as tiny as a toothpick in comparison. But that "toothpick" did indeed penetrate it, after all, it exploded inside.

　At the same time, the giant hand of the "Guardian of the Sky" also slammed down.

　This time, it hit "Sky Ultimate Dragon" squarely, slamming it down from the sky to the ground with a loud thud.

　The attacks from both sides hit each other almost simultaneously.

　"Sky Ultimate Dragon" crashed to the ground and was buried in the dust. "Sky Guardian" had a hole pierced in its head. But other than that, nothing seemed amiss, and the explosion that occurred inside its brain was not shown to the audience.

　Of course

　The next moment, the figure of the "Guardian of the Sky" became extremely faint without warning, and then disappeared completely.

　The moment it completely disappeared, the wind above the field suddenly stopped.

　That incredibly terrifying and majestic aura vanished without a trace.

　The gasps of the spectators outside the stadium suddenly became the main sound in the venue.

　No one expected that the "Guardian of the Sky" would be exposed so easily.

　Like a balloon, it looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside.

　Even Disney's Neham, who can summon the "Guardian of the Sky," stared wide-eyed at the venue from the circular seating area.

　He probably only had a superficial understanding of the "Sky Guardian's" abilities and couldn't comprehend why it was destroyed in one blow by the "Sky Ultimate Dragon".

　Tiffany, who remained hidden among the clouds, understood something because she was present at the scene.
