YUGIOH: It's Time to Duel!-Chapter 120: Ending this Fight

[Yuna's POV]

"That's why you have to help them!" I pleaded, pouring every ounce of desperation into my voice as I finished explaining.

My chest rose and fell with each breath as I locked eyes with Atem. He let out a slow, weary sigh, his gaze dropping to the floor as if the weight of my words had just landed on his shoulders. I waited, tension curling in my stomach like a tightening knot. "Please, Atem... say something..." My voice, once loud and urgent, faded into a trembling whisper.

"Sano... I..." His fists were clenched at his sides, and his knuckles were white and straining. His jaw tightened, and his entire posture was radiating unease. "It's not that simple..."

"What do you mean?" I asked sharply, frustration edging into my tone. "What could possibly make it so hard to help them?"

Without answering, Atem rose slowly, like gravity was trying to hold him down. He walked to the balcony in heavy silence, the kind that makes time feel slower. I followed, stopping just beside him. The wind tugged gently at his cloak, and I studied his face troubled expression.

"I can't just leave this place..." Atem said quietly, his voice heavy with the burden. "The afterlife is bound to my soul. If I descend to Earth, I might be endangering the very existence of everyone here."

"Then just come back once you're done!" I shot back, grasping for a solution. But he only shook his head, solemn and unmoving.

"If only it were that simple," he murmured. "The only passage out of the afterlife is through that portal. But leaving without reincarnating would throw everything into chaos."

I stared at him, the implications crashing down like a wave. "So... best case scenario, no one here gets erased..." I said slowly, dread creeping into my voice, "but the portal would likely be destroyed."

Atem nodded gravely, the silence between us more deafening than any shout.

"I..." Atem's voice cracked as he bit his lip, struggling to keep his composure. "I'd be putting every soul here at risk... Even if they're no longer part of the living world, to me, they are still alive."

He looked away, but not before I caught the guilt pooling in his eyes.

"But I can't just abandon Yugi... or Kaiba..." he whispered. His voice trembled, and when he finally met my gaze again, it was filled with torment. "Sano... no, Kisara... I... I can't."

"Atem..." I choked, tears slipping past my lashes. None of this made sense. Wasn't he the one destined to help Yugi in the original story? Why would he hesitate now? Had my sacrifice in his place twisted the course of fate?

"Are you really going to do nothing?" I demanded, my voice shaking with restrained fury.

"No..." Atem shook his head slowly. His expression turned solemn, heavy with ancient resolve. "There is... another way. You take my place as Pharaoh. With that power, you'll be unstoppable, even in the mortal world."

"Become... the Pharaoh?" I echoed, stunned, the words barely registering.

He nodded. "The afterlife is tied to my soul. But if I pass the mantle to you, I'll be free to go without collapsing this realm. As the last of my bloodline, the next Pharaoh must be chosen through ceremony. And you... you know what I mean, don't you?"

"I think so..." I nodded, recalling the drawings carved onto the Stone of Memories, depicting the duel between Atem and Seto...

"Then let's not waste any more time," Atem said, straightening with renewed determination. "Meet me at the palace entrance."

He paused, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Oh, and by the way... the Goddess showed me the world you once lived in. I have to admit, the evolution of Duel Monsters was... truly astonishing."

My brows lifted in surprise, caught off guard by the sudden shift in tone.

"It's a shame such things never existed in our time," he continued, "but thankfully, Holactie-sama indulged this small obsession of mine..."

With a casual motion, he reached behind the throne and pressed an ancient, unseen button. With a deep rumble, part of the wall shifted, sliding open to reveal a hidden chamber.

The room was packed with thousands of Duel Monster cards meticulously arranged on gleaming shelves, each one preserved like sacred relics.

"I'll see you in ten minutes," Atem said, already turning to leave.

I barely managed an audible gulp, staring wide-eyed like a child stepping into a toy store.

Once he was gone, the silence wrapped around me like a cloak. I stepped into the room slowly, my fingers trembling as I clenched my fists at my sides.

"Seto... Yugi..." I whispered to the stillness, voice full of quiet fire. "Keep fighting. Just hold on a little longer..."

10 minutes later...

By the time I reached the appointed place, the air was already thick with anticipation. Thousands had gathered outside the palace, spirits of those who once lived in Memphis, now spectating this sacred rite. The weight of their gazes settled on my shoulders, leaving me on edge.

Among the crowd, I spotted familiar faces, Shada and the remaining Sacred Guardians. They watched with quiet pride, small smiles playing on their lips like blessings whispered on the wind.

"Let's not delay any longer," Atem said firmly. With a graceful motion, he unfastened his regal cape. The wind caught the fabric, sending it fluttering to the ground like a banner signaling the beginning of something monumental.

His DiaDhank gleamed in the sun, but it was unlike the one I remembered. The design was sleeker and more refined, a fusion of ancient relic and modern ingenuity. Five slots lined the arm piece instead of the traditional three, and a compact compartment on its side held his deck, glowing faintly with latent energy.

"Looks like you're ready," Atem said, raising a brow. "Have you chosen your cards?"

I nodded, a steely edge in my voice. "In that world, Duel Monsters might've been just a game. But here... they're everything. I won't replace my dragons."

Atem chuckled, the sound warm and knowing. "Of course. You and I... we're the same. Then, let us begin!"

The Millennium Puzzle on his chest and the Millennium Key I carried pulsed in unison. A burst of radiant energy erupted from us both, a golden shockwave surging through the city.

[Atem: 4000 LP]

[Yuna Sano: 4000 LP]

Atem: "I will start. First, I activate Apprentice Illusion Magician's effect, by discarding Slifer the Sky Dragon, I can special summon her onto the field!"

The crowd cheered as the first monster appeared before them. It was a young female mage with brown skin and white hair. Her outfit was a mix of purplish armor and robe with a design similar to that of her master.

[Apprentice Illusion Magician: 2000 Attack]

"Then, if she's special-summoned, I'm able to add Dark Magician to my hand!"

"Hold on, while your effect resolves, I will activate my Droll and Lock Bird! For the rest of this turn, cards cannot be added to our hands." I said with a smug smile, "Just because I'm using the same deck, that doesn't mean I'm not using some modern tricks as well."

"Hmph..." Atem smirked, "Then I will send Apprentice Illusion Magician to the graveyard and summon Timaeus the United Dragon from my hand!"

[Timaeus the United Dragon: 2800 Attack]

"Using Timaeus's effect, I will use the dragon itself and Dark Magician as materials, to fusion summon, Red Eyes Dark Dragoon!"

[Red Eyes Dark Dragoon: 3000 Attack]

"I will set one card and end my turn." Atem said while crossing his arms, "It's your move, Kisara."

Nodding subtly, I drew a card, and Atem interrupted me as he activated his trap, "I will play the Revived Sky God! We will both draw until we have six cards in our hands, and I can resurrect Slifer the Sky Dragon from my grave!"

"In response, I will activate D.D. Crow to banish Slifer the Sky Dragon in your graveyard!" In the sky, a black mechanical crow swooped towards Atem like a self-guiding missile, aiming for the DiaDhank on his wrist.

However, before D.D. Crow could reach its target, but its path was suddenly blocked by Red Eyes Dark Dragoon, who destroyed the poor crow. "Red Eyes Dark Dragoon will negate your D.D. Crow's effect and my effect resolve."

Gritting my teeth, I watched Atem replenish his entire hand as the sky around us darkened with rain and thunder, as a large serpentine God descended from the clouds.

[Slifer the Sky Dragon: 0 Attack]

[Slifer the Sky Dragon: 0 -> 6000 Attack]

Instinctively, everyone knelt at the presence of one of the great Egyptian Gods. I would have followed suit under Slifer's strong presence here if I had forgotten that I was the one its hostile gaze was directed at.

"I will summon Chamber Dragonmaid!"

[Chamber Dragonmaid: 1800 Attack]

"Slifer the Sky Dragon's effect will activate, causing Chamber Dragonmaid to lose two thousand attacks and destroy it."

"But first, Chamber Dragonmaid's ability will trigger, allowing me to add a dragonmaid card from my deck! Next, I will discard Dragonmaid Tidying to play Super Polymerisation! Fusing Chamber Dragonmaid and Red Eyes Dark Dragoon on the field, I will fusion-summon, Starving Venom Fusion Dagon!"

Being absorbed into the bright portal, Chamber Dragonmaid and Red Eyes Dark Dragoon vanished as a malicious dragon emerged. As its grotesque plant-like appendages flexed, it roared, and the crowd murmured nervously.

[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: 2800 Attack]

"If Starving Venom Fusion Dragon is fusion-summoned, it's able to gain attacks equal to one of the special-summoned monsters on your field. But Slifer's effect will still decrease it by two thousand."

[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: 2800 -> 8800 Attack]

[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: 8800 -> 6800 Attack]

"Next, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon will target your Slifer the Sky Dragon, copying its effects for the rest of this turn!"

Growling with excitement, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon slowly curled into a ball with its wings covering its body. With the sound of bone twisting and flesh tearing, the disgusting flower eventually bloomed, revealing the appearance of a purplish and dark version of the Egyptian God.

[Slifer the Sky Dragon (Starving Venom Fusion Dragon): 6800 Attack]

"Now I will battle, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, destroy the Egyptian God!" Roaring, the two beings clashed. Like two snakes, they wrapped their body around each other, slashing with their claws and trying to gain the upper hand.

Eventually, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon ducked under Slifer's swing and bit the Egyptian God on the neck, destroying it.

[Atem: 4000 LP -> 3200 LP]

Grunting subtly, Atem smiled with admiration, "I should have known by now, not even an Egyptian God is enough to defeat you. But no matter, I will summon Magikuriboh, when I take damage, I can summon my Dark Magician from the grave!"

[Dark Magician: 2500 Attack]

[Dark Magician: 2500 -> 500 Attack]

"In my second main phase, I will activate my Dragonmaid Hospitality that was added to summon Parlor Dragonmaid, and send Dragonmaid Lorpar from my deck to the graveyard."

[Parlor Dragonmaid: 1700 Defence]

"Parlor Dragonmaid's effect allows me to send Dragonmaid Changeover to my graveyard. Then, I will banish Parlor Dragonmaid and Dragonmaid Lopar to special-summon Lady's Dragonmaid!"

[Lady's Dragonmaid: 3000 Defence]

"Lady's Dragonmaid will special summon Nurse Dragonmaid from the deck, and Nurse Dragonmaid can revive Chamber Dragonmaid!"

[Nurse Dragonmaid: 1600 Defence]

[Chamber Dragonmaid: 1800 Attack]

"I will return Dragonmaid Changeover from my graveyard by sending Nurse Dragonmaid back to my hand, then I will use the spell to fusion summon Dragonmaid Sheou, using Chamber Dragonmaid on the field and Dragonmaid Ernus in my hand!"

[Dragonmaid Sheou: 3500 Attack]

"Finally, I will set two cards and end my turn," I said and took a deep breath. The astounding amount of cards in Atem's hand worrys mean and I can only hope that I have set up a formidable enough defence...

"During your end phase, I will banish the Revived Sky God to place a Monster Reborn to the top of my deck." He said before subsequently drawing the card at the start of his turn. Looks like your monster is returning to normal."

Hissing, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon's form contorts, gradually shrinking and transforming back into its original appearance.

[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon: 6800 -> 800 Attack]

"During the Standby Phase, Lady Dragonmaid's effect allows me to fusion-summon House Dragonmaid by shuffling my banished Dragonmaid Lorpar and Parlor Dragonmaid back into my deck!"

[House Dragonmaid: 3000 Attack]

"Also, Dragonmaid Sheou can revive Chamber Dragonmaid from my graveyard, and she allows me to add Dragonmaid Hospitality to my hand!"

[Chamber Dragonmaid: 800 Defence]

"Very well, then I will start with the King's Sarcophagus!" Atem shouted.

"Not so fast, I will activate Dragonmaid Sheou and negate your spell! Then she will transform back into House Dragonmaid!" I said, and another copy of House Dragonmaid appeared on the field.

[House Dragonmaid: 3000 Attack]

"Then my other House Dragonmaid's effect will activate! Since a Dragonmaid monster left the field, I can target your Dark Magician and destroy it!"

"I expected something like this. Which is why I will play this!" Atem smirked playfully, "Since King's Sarcophagus is destroyed, I will call upon the pharaoh's ultimate protector! Horus, the Black Flame Deity!"

Roaring, a huge dragon standing on two legs took shape. Its body was covered entirely in silver and gold armor with gems etched across various parts of its body, resembling the Winged Dragon of Ra.

[Horus the Black Flame Deity: 3000 Attack]

"When Horus the Black Flame Deity is summoned from my hand, I can send all monsters on the field to the graveyard! Go, my Deity, wipe them all out!" Roaring, Horus the Black Flame Deity soared into the air.

Spewing fire from its beak, the entire field was swept up in flames, and I grimly sent my dragons to the graveyard, "Since Starving Venom Fusion Dragon wasn't destroyed, its effect won't trigger..."

"Next, I will play Monster Reborn, reviving Slifer the Sky Dragon back from the dead!"

[Slifer the Sky Dragon: 5000 Attack]

Atem: "Now I will battle! Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack her life points directly!"

"Kisara!" I heard Shada yell my name in the distance as I watched the Egyptian God diving towards me.

My body tensed, and I frantically activated my last line of defence and the card I planned to stop a God: "I will activate my trap card! The Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon!"

The ground behind me rumbled as a humongous red daruma doll rose from the ground. Its body was made of metal, like a robot, and various gun turrets protruded from where its limbs were.

"T... This..." Atem's lips twitched while staring at the ridiculous Darmua doll.

"Behold the power of the modern world!" I declared shamelessly, "When I activate this card, we must turn as many cards as possible face down! Cards that couldn't be placed in a face-down position, we need to send them to the graveyard instead!"

Its eyes glowing, Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon unleashed a defeating barrage. Slifer the Sky Dragon roared in pain while the Dark Magician and Horus the Black Flame Deity frantically hid behind the back of their cards to escape.

"Since Slifer the Sky Dragon isn't affected by the trap card, the God couldn't be placed face down. However, the trap also states that you have to be the one sending it to the graveyard, so Slifer can't escape!"

Struck by the hundreds of projectiles, the Egyptian God once again collapsed, and the crowd burst into shock. But who could blame them? Anyone would be shocked watching their God get defeated twice in one game.

Watching my confident attitude, Atem's shoulder shook as he laughed. Wiping the tears from his eyes from laughter, he smiled, "Truly, nothing surprised me anymore... But just because you survived, it doesn't mean it's over!"

"I will play Secret of Dark Magic to fuse Dark Magician and Horus the Black Flame Deity and summon Dark Magician, the Dragon Knight!"

[Dark Magician, the Dragon Knight: 3000 Attack]

"Now attack, Dark Magician!" Atem ordered as the knight charged, slashing me with his sword.

[Yuna Sano: 4000 LP -> 1000 LP]

"Finally, I will activate the Bond Between Teacher and Student to summon Dark Magician Girl from my deck. Then I will set two cards and end my turn..."

[Dark Magician Girl: 2600 Attack]

"Guh..." I groaned and slowly stood back up.

Clutching my side where the phantom sword slashed me, I coughed and matched Atem's gaze. His expectation and anticipation of my actions lingered in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not giving up this easily..." I muttered with a wry smile, and he nodded.

"So it seems like this battle is reaching its end..." Atem hummed, sensing my thoughts, "But I'm not planning on backing down either! Draw your next card!"

"Alright!" I yelled back, "In the draw-phase, I will start by banishing my Dragonmaid Tidying and bring back Lady Dragonmaid from the graveyard!"

[Lady's Dragonmaid: 2900 Attack]

"Lady's Dragonmaid will bring back Parlor Dragonmaid, who will send Dragonmaid Lorpar to the graveyard!"

"Then, I'm able to use Lady's Dragonmaid's effect to fusion summon Dragonmaid Sheou, using my two maids as materials!"

"I won't let you achieve your goal!" Atem shouted, "I will play Dark Burning to destroy all monsters you control!" Leaping into the air, the two magicians raised their weapons and launched a massive purple sphere at me, completely wiping out the field.

"Tsk... Then I will use Dragonmaid Hospitality to revive Chamber Dragonmaid, and I'm able to send Dragonmaid Stern to the grave! Chamber Dragonmaid will be able to add Dragonmaid Welcome to my hand!"

[Chamber Dragonmaid: 1800 Defence]

"I will then normal-summon Nurse Dragonmaid, and she will revive Parlor Dragonmaid from my graveyard!"

[Nurse Dragonmaid: 1600 Defence]

[Palor Dragonmaid: 1700 Defence]

"Then I activate Fusion Deployment! By revealing Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, I'm able to summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck!"

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: 3000 Attack]

"I will then play Dragonmaid Welcome to return Dragonmaid Stern from my graveyard back to my hand. I will also activate the effect of Dragonmaid Changeover to retrieve it by returning Nurse Dragonmaid to my hand.

"Using Dragonmaid Changeover, I will fuse Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Parlor Dragonmaid to summon Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon!"

[Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon: 3400 Attack]

"Now I will enter the battle phase, Chamber Dragonmaid's effect will trigger, and I can summon House Dragonmaid from my graveyard!"

[House Dragonmaid: 3000 Attack]

"Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon attack, destroy all of Atem's monsters!" I shouted, and the dragon roared.

"In response, I will play Magic Cylinder! Directing the damage back to you!" Atem countered, but to his disbelief, the dragon ignored his trap and continued its charge.

"Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon isn't affected by traps! So the Magic Cylinder is useless!" I replied, and his eyes widened in disbelief, and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon defeated the Magicians with ease.

[Atem: 3200 LP -> 2800 LP]

[Attem: 2800 LP -> 2000 LP]

"This is the end, House Dragonmaid, attack Atem directly!" Watching the maid dashing towards him, Atem chuckled helplessly and closed his eyes...

*BOOOOOOM*

[Atem: 2300 LP -> 0 LP]

A stunned silence blanketed the crowd. The Pharaoh, the symbol of unshakable strength, had been defeated... and by me. But instead of outrage or sorrow, something unexpected happened.

One person began to clap, then another, and soon the air filled with thunderous applause. I stood nearby, smiling awkwardly just before Shada pulled her into a sudden hug from behind.

"You idiot," he muttered with a half-laugh, breathless. "You actually did it..."

"I couldn't believe it either," I replied, cheeks flushed as the cheers swelled around us like a rising tide.

"Congratulations," Atem said, stepping forward with a proud smile. "As promised, I shall now pass on the power of the Pharaoh to you."

"Atem..." I whispered, heart heavy with emotion, but he only laughed softly.

"Don't look so sad. You've earned this, and I truly believe you'll fulfill your mission. Besides, leaving the power here would be a waste." He placed his hands firmly on my shoulders, steady and warm.

The glow of the Millennium Puzzle on his chest began to fade. He gently removed it and held it out to me. As soon as it touched my hands, the artifact lit up once more, vibrant and alive. "This is farewell. But when we meet again... let's duel one more time, alright?"

"Of course..." I managed to say, just as my body began to shimmer, fading into light. My time in the afterlife was ending. "Goodbye... everyone."

And with that, my vision dimmed into blackness. Now... it was time to face Diva and end this, once and for all.

[3rd POV]

Meanwhile...

"Crimson Nova Trinity, the Dark Cubic Lord, attack Yugi Mutou directly!" Diva cackled as the humongous monster swung its sharp tendril and struck Yugi in the stomach.

"Yugi!" Seto shouted in shock as the boy was sent flying across the field. Wisps of smoke rise from his body as he groans painfully.

[Yugi Mutou: 400 LP -> 0 LP]

"Damn it!" Seto snarled, dropping to one knee beside Yugi. The boy coughed weakly, struggling to rise, only to collapse again. "Pull yourself together!" Seto barked, panic creeping into his voice.

"It's no use... Looks like help's not coming after all..." Yugi murmured, his voice barely above a whisper as the last of his strength ebbed away.

Then, without warning, Yugi's form flickered and dissolved into smoke, vanishing into the air.

Left alone, Seto clenched his fists, biting down the torrent of fury and despair surging in his chest. He still had Life Points, but his body was barely holding together.

The toll of the Shadow Game had ravaged him. Every breath burned, every twitch sent a lance of pain through his limbs.

"I'll end my turn here," Diva taunted from across the field, his voice dripping with smug malice. "Shall we bring this to a close?"

Grinding his teeth, Seto forced his trembling arms to move. He couldn't give up not now. "I... draw..." he rasped. But the motion was too much. He dropped to his knees, vision swimming, breath coming in shallow gasps. Consciousness threatened to slip away as darkness edged into his sight.

Was Seto truly at his limit? He bit his lip in frustration, unable to fight off the creeping drowsiness that threatened to overwhelm him. His vision blurred and tilted forward, his body on the verge of collapse.

But just before everything went dark, a familiar warmth surrounded him. His eyes flew open in confusion, and there, standing before him, was Yuna, her bright smile like a beacon in the haze.

How did she get here? What was this overwhelming power emanating from her? Seto had a thousand questions, but he couldn't summon the energy to voice them.

Instead, he found himself lost in her presence, her hands softly brushing through his hair in a comforting rhythm. The sleepiness that had been gnawing at him seemed to vanish in her embrace. With each tender stroke, Seto's body grew heavier, and he surrendered to the exhaustion, finally closing his eyes.

As soon as Seto's breathing evened out in slumber, Yuna's smile slowly faded, her expression hardening as she turned her glare toward Diva, full of disdain. "I apologize for leaving so abruptly," she spoke coldly, her voice carrying a quiet, dangerous edge. "But I've returned to finish this duel. I shall take Seto's place."

Without a moment's hesitation, she removed Seto's Duel Disk, her fingers deftly slipping it onto her arm. The dark barrier that had surrounded them began to tremble, crackling as a golden dome slowly replaced it, radiating with an energy far beyond anything Diva had expected.

"What is this?!" Diva growled, his voice tinged with both wariness and awe. He could feel the indescribable power now coursing through the air, and he didn't know whether to fight it or flee.

[Seto Kaiba -> Yuna Sano: 500 LP]

Picking up the cards Seto had dropped, Yuna's lips curved into a soft hum as she examined her hand, her eyes glinting with quiet confidence. "I draw!!"

The deck seemed to respond to her very presence, a radiant glow illuminating the cards as if they were attuned to her will. With a flick of her wrist, the card she had drawn bent to her will, and she couldn't help but smile as she read it, her grin growing wider by the second.

"I activate Return from Different Dimensions!" she declared, her voice bold and unyielding. "By paying half of my Life Points, I can Special Summon every monster I banished!"

The air crackled with her power as the monsters, once lost to the void, began to reappear on the field, summoned back by Yuna's unwavering control. Each monster stepped into the light, their forms materializing with explosive force.

[Yuna Sano: 500 LP -> 250 LP]

Looking through Seto's cards, Yuna brought back all the monsters to the field.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: 3000 Attack]

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: 3000 Attack]

[Pandemic Dragon: 2500 Attack]

[Neo Kaiser Sea Horse: 1700 Attack]

"Now, I will summon the ultimate God! I called upon the lord of all dragons! Ten Thousand Dragon!!!"

All the monsters on Yuna's field vanished, their presence replaced by a monumental energy that surged through the air. Slowly, a massive form began to take shape, an immense dragon, its scales glistening with an otherworldly light. As it fully materialized, the dragon towered over Diva, casting an enormous shadow. Yuna stood poised atop its head, her gaze fierce and her pupils glowing with an eerie brilliance.

[Ten Thousand Dragon: 10,000 Attack]

"It's over, Diva! Ten Thousand Dragon, attack Crimson Nova Trinity, the Dark Cubic Lord!"

The dragon let out a deafening roar that rattled the very ground beneath them, its maw opening wide. A blinding orange beam of pure destruction shot forward, slamming into the Cubic Lord with an earth-shaking force. Diva's screams echoed through the battlefield, rising in terror as the beam ripped through his monster and engulfed them both in a fiery inferno.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!" Diva howled, his voice filled with anguish as the explosion consumed him.

But even as the flames began to subside, Diva's defiance rang out, his voice trembling with both madness and fury. "THIS ISN'T OVER!!!! I WILL BE BACK. YOU WAIT, AND WHEN I DO, I WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!!!"

Yuna's eyes narrowed, her voice cutting through the chaos like a blade. "No... this place will be your last..."

Her words were met with a sudden, earth-shattering roar as explosions erupted across the battlefield, sweeping through the field with relentless force. Diva's screams were drowned by the chaos as the destruction continued to spread, his form lost to the flames.

*BOOOOOOOM*

[Diva: 2000 LP -> 0 LP]

Walking toward him, Yuna could feel the darkness that had enveloped the boy slowly dissolving. His appearance began to return to normal, the shadows receding from his form as he regained his humanity.

Her gaze then fell on the Millennium Ring. A grimace twisted her face as she recalled all the pain this cursed artifact had inflicted upon her, and with a firm grip, she seized the ring.

*SNAP*

The sharp sound echoed through the air as Yuna broke the ring in half, its fragments clattering to the ground, now useless. She didn't pause, her resolve unwavering as she turned to the Millennium Cube.

With the last remnants of the Pharaoh's power coursing through her, Yuna focused all of her energy into the artifact, activating it with a fierce determination.

Slowly, the chaos that had ravaged the land began to reverse. Buildings that had crumbled restored themselves, rising from the rubble as if time itself was undoing the destruction. People who had perished returned to life, their forms materializing in the same moments they were lost—every life, every soul, being returned to the world, as though time was being rewritten.

The agony, the destruction, the suffering caused by these cursed objects... all of it, restored. Yuna let out a long, heavy sigh of relief. It was over.

Clenching her fist, she turned her attention to the Millennium Cube, now pulsing with a final, intense energy. Without hesitation, she crushed it with her bare hand, the artifact shattering into millions of tiny fragments. The pieces drifted into the wind, gone, once and for all...

I hope you enjoy it.
