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

　Quintina sensed the danger in advance, but it was too late to avoid it—or rather, there was no way to avoid it at all.

　The lightning net that enveloped him was also penetrated.

　She suddenly felt that the "Thor's Spear" in her hand suddenly became heavy, and all the power that came from the "Thor's Spear" disappeared instantly, even its divinity was suppressed.

　In that instant, she lost her greatest support.

　They lost "Thor's Spear".

　Only the blessing of the "Crown of the Sacred Oak" remains.

　Quintina's power, which was comparable to that of a twelve-star magical spirit, was thus largely diminished.

　How could someone like her possibly rival the "Soothing Beast"?

　The black flames summoned by "Dance Technique: Black Flame Dance" scorched through "Thor's Blessing".

　With dark flames wrapped around its feet, "Miyemon" used the "Dance Technique: Slide Strike" from "Black Flame Fox Dance" to pursue Quintina as she quickly retreated in time.

　Its speed suddenly increased, and it was supposed to slide tackle Quintina next. But that would be too unbecoming of a goddess. "Miye Beast" stopped at the last step, swung its staff to deflect the powerless "Thor's Spear", and then spun its body, raising its hind leg high and cleaving down like an axe!

　——"Dancing skills? Demonic Moon Kick"!

　Quintina unleashed a burst of lightning in that instant, her body becoming a blur, and she managed to evade this deadly attack.

　But the "Crown of the Holy Oak" on her head was struck by this kick and instantly turned into dust.

　Unlike the "Spear of Thor," the "Crown of the Holy Oak" is relatively fragile after losing the "Blessing of Thor."

　At this point, Quintina's protection had completely vanished, and she had no chance of survival against "Miyemon".

　Miyemon steadied itself, and dark flames suddenly erupted beneath its feet as it prepared to unleash its ultimate attack, "Dance Technique: Fox Flame Kick".

　Once this ultimate move hits, Quintina's health will enter a countdown phase.

　The outcome of this duel will be clear in an instant.

　But Quintina's gaze was unusually calm, as if she was not yet in dire straits.

　"A 'substitute puppet,' or something else?"

　Dark quickly calculated in his mind, and the life-saving method that Quintina might have planned in advance came to mind.

　However, taking "Substitute Puppet" as an example, this type of magic card can take a fatal blow for its master at a critical moment and automatically trigger "Blink Spell" at that moment, teleporting its master out of danger.

　However, the barrier of the "Four Foxes Seal" is all-encompassing, and it also has automatic limitations on spatial teleportation from the inside out.

　Quintina cannot escape this way.

　—This thought had just flashed through my mind.

　Dark suddenly sensed an unprecedentedly powerful divine aura surging out from outside the barrier.

　That divinity did not arise from nothing, but was formed by the condensation of subtle divine essence in an instant, followed by its transformation and sublimation.

　Its majestic and sacred aura surpassed that of all previous gods. "Zeus, the god of the heavens!"

　Dark looked suddenly toward the source of the divine eruption, where lightning blazed and the divine power was transcendent, with fragments of lightning feathers floating in the air, leaving behind the shadow of the "Thunder Eagle".

　Just as he was focusing all his attention on Quintina, "Zeus' Thunder Eagle" suddenly unleashed its ultimate move, conjuring up twelve elemental clones that instantly cleared the nearby electric elements.

　Even the lightning on the "Thundercloud" seemed to dim. But the twelve "Thunder Eagles" suddenly overlapped and merged into one the moment they appeared.

　When everyone who witnessed this scene thought it would fuse into an elemental clone that was several times more powerful than the "Thunderhawk of Zeus" itself, they were all stunned.

　But what appeared there was a god.

　—Zeus, the "King of the Gods"!

　The twelve Poirot gods remain extremely well-known in the world.

　Moreover, statues of the twelve gods stand in this city of duels. Therefore, the moment people see a god, the god's name immediately comes to mind.

　Zeus, the "King of the Gods," may not be the strongest god, but he is certainly one of the strongest at the very top.

　Compared to all the "God Cards" that appeared before, he seemed to be standing at an infinitely high place, with a world of difference between him and the gods represented by those "God Cards".

　Just by standing there, Chi inspires awe and even makes one feel that one cannot look up to his summit.

　Dark stared intently and sensed that within Zeus's body was a rapidly spinning black hole, threatening to devour everything, including thoughts and ideas.

　He suddenly activated the "Netherworld God Technique" to pull himself out of the terrifying feeling that even his thoughts were being swallowed up.

　That moment of stillness felt like an eternity, leaving one with a suffocating feeling, an indescribable sense of unease that lingered in the heart.

　Suddenly, Dark's gaze pierced through Zeus's body and saw behind him, where streaks of pink light descended from the sky—the manifestation of the Fairy Principle and the presentation of the Light of Elysium.

　His gaze snapped back, and Darke finally saw "Zeus" clearly.

　That was not the real "Zeus", but a transparent body formed by the fusion of the elemental avatars of "Zeus's Thunderhawk".

　The transparent body was only a human-shaped outline, without detailed facial features. Yet, everyone who saw it naturally pictured Zeus.

　That was the ultimate, inevitable strike of "Zeus's Thunderhawk." Under the watchful eyes of countless people, "Thor's Illusion" raised his right hand with what appeared to be an extremely slow, but in reality, instantaneous, speed.

　It wasn't Zeus himself, but fragments of Zeus's divine consciousness could be attached to it. In that instant, Dark felt its gaze fall upon him.

　Then, a lightning bolt, brighter than the sun, erupted from that palm. Vision instantly went white.

　The lightning engulfed everything, including the visuals and the sounds.

　It took several seconds for everything to return to normal.

　Above the sky, the light still flowed like a rosy cloud, and "Fantasy Heavenly Principles" remained unaffected. But beneath the sky, the changes were earth-shattering.

　The "Thor illusion" has disappeared.

　The final move it unleashed was "Thunder Blast," a finishing move used by the elemental clone of "Zeus' Thunder Eagle" in the previous duel.

　"Thunder Blast" is essentially a self-destruct skill.

　Although the "Thunder Blast" used by "Thunder God Illusion" has no resemblance to the "Thunder Eagle" clone's "Thunder Blast" in terms of its appearance, it is essentially the same ultimate move.

　After releasing "Thunder Explosion", the energy of "Thunder God's Illusion" was exhausted on the spot, and it naturally disappeared.

　But along with it, the "thunderclouds" also disappeared!

　……

　"Thundercloud" possesses complete immunity to electric-type special moves. However, it was still completely reduced to ashes in this "Thunder Explosion".

　This has completely transcended the effect that a finishing move can produce. The only possibility is that Zeus's divine consciousness possessed him and he used his authority.

　Both being "Thor," Raymond certainly had little power to resist Zeus.

　However, it was still a finishing move after all. After destroying Zeus, its remaining power was not much. It only broke the Four Fox Seal and caused damage to the Hōye Beast.

　Then, in that instant, Quintina pulled back and successfully retreated onto the back of "Zeus' Thunderhawk".

　After absorbing all the remaining power of the "Thunder Explosion", the magic power of "Hongye Beast" had dropped to a freezing point.

　Dark stood behind the "Four Fox Seal" and with the "Miye Beast" blocking his way, so he didn't suffer much damage from the aftershocks.

　But the entire situation was completely reversed after that "thunder explosion". Although Quintina's armor was completely destroyed, she still had "Zeus' Thunder Eagle" in full power.

　Dark's "Thunder Cloud" had turned to ashes, and "Hongye Beast" was also...

　With only a sliver of health remaining, it's hard to say how long they can hold out against "Zeus's Thunderhawk." Both sides' magical spirits have already used their ultimate attacks...

　Right now.

　"Zeus's Thunderhawk" opened its mouth.

　Although the lightning condensed slowly, it still gradually formed a sphere in its mouth.

　Quintina stood on the back of "Zeus' Thunder Eagle," a magic card appearing in her hand, which she was already summoning simultaneously.

　"Zeus' Thunderhawk" has four ultimate skills. The first one is a passive skill.

　The second is the "Terrain of Thunder".

　The third is "Thor's Illusion".

　This is the fourth one that has never been used—the "Thunder God Jade"!

　"Thunder God Jade" is a powerful and long-range ultimate move, but it requires a long charge time and has a low accuracy.

　Quintina didn't use this ultimate move before, not because she was hiding it, but simply because she hadn't encountered the right opportunity to use it.

　However, now that "Hongye Beast" is low on health, although Dark is standing in the air using magic, he is actually unable to fly normally, moves slowly, and has no chance to dodge. This is the perfect opportunity for "Thunder God Jade" to shine.

　The magic card she's summoning is a new magical spirit. While theoretically Dark shouldn't be able to dodge the "Thunder God's Orb," there's always a chance of something going wrong—what if he actually manages to dodge it?

　So the duel was not over yet. She had to prepare for what might happen next. Neither side stopped.

　Dark saw the result immediately after the "thunderstorm" ended, but he felt no frustration.

　He was mentally prepared for Zeus to get involved before the duel even began, and such interference was even reasonable.

　He simply used the power he possessed to enhance a finishing move.

　The fact that Zeus didn't possess Quintina and personally participate in the duel already shows that it was "fair".

　However, it can be seen from that "Thor's Illusion" that the current "Zeus" has a much greater sense of rationality that was lacking in the Academy Championship.

　This is a symbol of Zeus's return.

　As for this duel...

　To outsiders, it seemed that he was in dire straits after being overturned by his opponent.

　But he himself was very clear that the so-called "disadvantages" were all superficial, and his "advantages" were enormous!

　There were no orders or instructions.

　"Miyemon" has transformed into "Miyamon Form".

　For "Miyemon", the transformation to "Miyamon Form" does not require any prerequisites.

　The transformation from battle form to priestess form is simply an alternative form of costume change.

　Its appearance remained unchanged, except that its armor was replaced with a white-on-top, red-on-bottom shrine maiden's outfit, and the "Vajra Staff" in its hand was replaced with a "Gohei" used for prayer and exorcism.

　On the other hand, the attribute changed from dark to light!

　In its "Miyako Form," Miyamon will gain bonuses to movement speed and casting range, and some of its special moves will receive additional healing effects.

　But none of these things are that important.

　Most importantly, its previously used special moves will be refreshed.

　The "Kanko," which was originally destroyed along with the "Four Fox Seals," can also be summoned again.

　Without hesitation, "Viyamon" summoned four new "Kanko" and then commanded the "Kanko" to unleash its ultimate attack - "Four Fox Barrier"!

　[Four Foxes Barrier] is a defensive barrier.

　Its durability and defense are exactly the same as "Four Fox Seals". After summoning "Kanko", "Miyemon" immediately waved the [Gohei] in its hand, prayed in harmony, and summoned "Kongokai Mandala" again! "Kongokai Mandala" can be used as a barrier to purify and exorcise evil, and can also be transformed into an attack circle to summon cherry blossoms to fight the enemy.

　This time, "Miye Beast" summoned a purification barrier. The barrier was extremely large, instantly encompassing the entire area. It even covered "Zeus's Thunder Eagle" and Quintina.

　However, neither of the latter two felt any discomfort.

　Because they are not evil spirits, they are naturally unaffected by the barrier. The true purpose of this barrier is to resurrect the dead! That is, to grant the dead "redemption." It will revive the "thundercloud"!

　Everything happened almost simultaneously.

　"Zeus' Thunderhawk" charges up and unleashes its final attack, "Thunder God's Orb." The four "Pipe Foxes" create the "Four Fox Barrier."

　Meanwhile, "Thundercloud" is resurrected within the "Vajradhatu Mandala." The "Redemption" skill of the "Vajradhatu Mandala" is a group resurrection technique. However, Dark chose to revive only "Thundercloud" this time. Reviving too many at once might frighten the audience.

　After "Thundercloud" was revived, its magic power was only restored to 30% of its maximum value.

　However, the "Miyamon" in its "Miyamon form" releases a "Diamond Mandala" barrier that also has a range-based healing effect.

　The magic power of both "Thundercloud" and "Hoya Beast" began to recover rapidly.

　The situation on the field can change in an instant.

　Such changes had occurred many times in this duel. Until the very last second, no one could know who the winner would be. Dark showed no joy despite his "huge advantage." This was because "Thundercloud's" ultimate technique had been used up, and "Thunderstorm" had been interrupted by its demise, leaving no next phase.

　"Thor's Heart" must be rekindled, and the electrical system within the arena...

　The element is already quite scarce and can no longer provide it with any benefit.
