# Descent from Cyber Dragon Constellation

Samejima gave the instruction: "It seems this is the end, Hayato. This is the final, transcending Dark End Burst!"

The lightning that destroys all things fell, instantly destroying the Rainbow Kuriboh in Attack Position. With an apologetic gaze before Rainbow Kuriboh disappeared, the lightning, seemingly undiminished, reached Hayato's position.

The Battle Damage value was a staggering 5900 points!

"!!"

Hayato's figure, who had been knocked flying against the wall earlier, was swallowed by the lightning. Samejima watched Hayato's figure disappear and couldn't help but sigh, "The result is actually..."

"He still failed." The Previous Master/Instructor, who was the Referee for this Duel, also sighed, his face full of regret. "It seems the ultimate Legacy of 'Cyber Style' is still—"

"No, Hayato hasn't lost yet, Teacher!" Listening to the Previous Master/Instructor's regretful words, Samejima suddenly noticed something. The regret on his face vanished, replaced by an expression of anticipation. "Cyberdark End Dragon hasn't disappeared from my Field!"

"Cyberdark End Dragon, which should have disappeared with the end of the Duel, didn't disappear. This means this Duel is still continuing, and Hayato didn't lose because of that last attack!"

"But how exactly did Hayato..."

Answering Samejima's confusion was Hayato's voice coming from the smoke stirred up by Cyberdark End Dragon's attack.

"It was a Set Card, I used a Set Card."

Hayato emerged from the smoke, holding a Rainbow Kuriboh card that was gradually dispersing. In front of him, a yellow energy barrier blocked the Cyberdark End Dragon's recent attack, preventing it from reaching Hayato until it completely dissipated.

The Rainbow Kuriboh card in his hand disappeared. Hayato spread his hand: "The Rainbow Kuriboh that was Special Summoned from the Graveyard by its Effect was just destroyed by battle, so it's banished."

"As for the Battle Damage, it was the Effect of this Set Card I activated, Power Wall."

"A Trap Card?" Samejima looked at the Power Wall that Hayato activated, depicting a Hero holding up a shield to challenge a giant dragon for protection. It was the first time he had seen this card. "Cyberdark End Dragon shouldn't be affected by the effects you activate, Hayato. The Attack Negation effect shouldn't apply."

Hayato shook his head: "No, Power Wall isn't a card like Absorption Shield that Negates the opponent's monster's attack. Your attack did indeed Destroy Rainbow Kuriboh. What Power Wall Negates is only 'damage'."

As Hayato explained, he raised the Duel Disk on his left hand. Only then did Samejima notice that, at some point, a thick stack of cards was missing from Hayato's Deck.

"'During damage calculation when an opponent's monster's attack would inflict battle damage to you, Power Wall can be activated.' Hayato pointed to his Graveyard. 'Until the battle damage you would take from that battle becomes 0, for every 500 damage points, send one card from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard.'"

"'The battle damage Cyberdark End Dragon would inflict on me after Breaking Through Rainbow Kuriboh with 100 ATK Points is 5900 points. Therefore, I need to send twelve cards from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard to reduce the damage to 0.'"

[Hayato: 100 LP]

"'Sending cards from your Deck to the Graveyard to negate battle damage, a remarkable decision.' Samejima praised, a hint of a smile appearing on his face. 'You successfully blocked Cyberdark End Dragon's Double Attack, Hayato.'"

"'Even an offensive as fierce as a storm can be blocked. With this, even I have no more moves.' Samejima glanced at the last card in his Hand and Set it in his Spell/Trap Zone. 'Then I Set one card. I end my turn.'"

[Samejima: 1800 LP, Hand 0]

[Cyberdark End Dragon] (Cyber End Dragon, Cyberdark Cannon) [ATK 6000]

[Cyberdark World] [Cyberdark Invasion] [Set Card]

After declaring the end of his turn, Samejima's legs went weak, and his figure stumbled, almost losing his balance. He couldn't help but cough twice, looking extremely weak.

However, Samejima's gaze was fixed on Hayato, unwilling to move, his eyes shining brightly. He yearned to see hope in Hayato, anticipating Hayato's response to his life-or-death Duel.

Hayato wasn't in a hurry to draw a card. Instead, he lowered his head and glanced at his Deck. The total number of cards in the Deck he was using in this Duel was the minimum limit for a Deck, 40 cards. Because he had used Graceful Charity twice in the previous two turns for card drawing, although he replenished a large amount of cards in hand, a large number of cards in Hayato's Deck were consumed.

Adding the Power Wall he just activated, which saved his last 100 Life Points, only the final five cards remained in Hayato's Deck.

Samejima's Cyberdark End Dragon possessed powerful resistance, almost completely immune to effects. Although it could be dealt with by the invincible Sea Turtle, Hayato's Deck unfortunately didn't include one. Furthermore, even if he used a Sea Turtle to deal with Cyberdark End Dragon, he wouldn't be able to get rid of the Sea Turtle himself.

If he couldn't draw a card capable of defeating Cyberdark End Dragon this turn, he would definitely lose.

Hayato had just confirmed the cards he sent to the Graveyard. The card that could help Hayato defeat Cyberdark End Dragon had not been sent to the Graveyard, meaning it was still in the Deck.

As long as he could draw that card from the remaining five cards, he could turn the tide and win. But if he drew any other card, he would surely lose. In his current desperate state, he had no ability to block Cyberdark End Dragon's attack.

In other words, Hayato could call this Duel a gamble with only a 20% chance of victory.

"My resolve for victory, my honor in this Duel, is entrusted to this draw." With his finger on the Duel Disk, Hayato took a deep breath. "This is my final struggle!"

"My turn, draw!"

The card Hayato drew traced a golden arc through the air. In that instant of drawing, an instant illusion appeared before Hayato's eyes.

He saw an explosion, and time and space were born within the explosion.

He saw an explosion, and countless stars were born within the explosion.

He saw an explosion, and life was born within the explosion.

Then, there was another explosion.

Countless starlight illuminated the chaos, outlining a massive dragon that manifested before Hayato's eyes.

Looking in Hayato's direction, the star giant dragon looked him up and down. As if confirming something, it nodded and then disappeared.

Only a vague and unintelligible passage of words remained: "...unfamiliar kin...brilliant soul...in the name of..., permission..."

When Hayato came back to his senses, he realized he had just completed the draw action. Turning his wrist, the card held between his fingers flipped over and was displayed before his eyes. Looking at the card before him, a smile curved on Hayato's lips.

"It seems my final ace card did indeed come to my hand."

Hayato raised his palm and pointed to a card on his Field: "During my Standby Phase, as time passes, the Time Capsule card will be destroyed, and the card I banished from the very beginning of the Duel will come to my hand."

The Pharaoh's Coffin on his Field slowly rose from the underground and began to gradually dissipate at a certain height, revealing a card hidden deep within, which Hayato added to his hand.

And then, Hayato flipped the "Meaning Unknown" Set Card on his Field, which he had also Set on the first turn.

"I activate Trap Card, Descent from the Sky Dragon Constellation. The turn I activate this card, I cannot Special Summon monsters except by this card's effect."

Hayato's Field, which was originally enveloped by the red-purple power of Cyberdark World, was now illuminated by a beam of starlight that fell as he activated Descent from the Sky Dragon Constellation, casting an independent space within the ominous darkness.

Starting from this beam of starlight, another beam of light shone down, and then one beam followed another. The power of Cyberdark World, which had originally affected the entire Field, was completely driven away from Hayato's side, leaving only a place illuminated by pure starlight.

Samejima and the Previous Master/Instructor couldn't help but cast their gazes towards the sky above Hayato. The scene they witnessed left them greatly shocked. For a moment, they didn't even know how to describe the strangeness before them with words, forgetting even to exclaim, able only to store the view before their eyes in their memory.

Appearing above Hayato was a brilliant and dazzling meteor shower. Countless meteors created a starry sky that shocked the heart!

Accompanying the meteor shower was the illuminated Graveyard Zone of Hayato's Duel Disk. The figures of the monsters that Hayato had sent to the Graveyard in the previous battle appeared one by one.

Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon Nachster, Cyber Dragon Vier... The cards housing one monster after another were banished from Hayato's Graveyard. They turned into phantoms, appearing consecutively behind Hayato, and then one by one dissipated, becoming meteors falling from the sky, streaking across the heavens.

"'Banish all LIGHT Machine monsters from my Field and Graveyard. Only by paying the cost of this 'Meteor Shower of the Extreme Sky' can Descent from the Sky Dragon Constellation be activated.'" Hayato looked up at the stars, a smile curving on his lips. He raised the card he had just drawn this turn from his hand. "'From my hand, Special Summon one Level 6 or higher LIGHT Machine monster.'"

The starlight seemed to find a gathering place, all converging on the card Hayato held high above his head. Before Hayato could even place the card on his Duel Disk, a loud dragon roar echoed from behind him.

The head of a massive mechanical dragon, a giant machine dragon, materialized through the converging starlight and the power of the numerous monsters Hayato banished. Although it was a mechanical construct, it seemed to possess its own life, looking down upon everything on the ground.

And beside the enormous mechanical dragon head, the power of the monsters Hayato banished by Descent from the Sky Dragon Constellation gathered, transforming into numerous hovering small mechanical dragon head funnels, orbiting the giant dragon head like planets guarding a star.

"'Oh, Light and Dark wandering in the universe, gather in my hand as a raging torrent and the Light of Hope!'" Hayato slammed the card in his hand onto his Duel Disk. "'In the name of the stars, the infinite, and Cyber Dragon Constellation, push open the Gate of Truth for me!'"

"'Come forth, my glory, my Tamashii!!'"

"'The ultimate strongest ultimate Cyber Dragon———Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head!!!'"

Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head [Level 10/LIGHT]

[Machine Type/Special Summon/Effect]

[?/ ?]

"'That is Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head!'" The Previous Master/Instructor looked at the Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head that Hayato had Summoned, extremely excited.

The card of the "Cyber Style" passed down through generations, the Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head that others couldn't even see the essence of, was truly Summoned into this world! His mood was so excited he could barely contain himself, wanting nothing more than to rush out of the Dojo and find a lively street to cosplay as Manjoume Thunder.

Samejima also looked at Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head with an inexplicable expression: "You successfully Summoned it! As expected of Hayato, you easily did something we couldn't. It truly makes me excited!"

The Cyberdark End Dragon on Samejima's Field looked at the towering Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head with a stance as if facing a formidable enemy. The lightning on its body seemed to overflow uncontrollably.

Hayato, who had plagiarized the lines of a certain No. Hunter to Summon Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head, was surprisingly the calmest person on the scene at this moment. He said confidently: "Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head, Summoned by Descent from the Sky Dragon Constellation, will have its ATK and DEF values become the number of monsters banished by its effect multiplied by 500 points."

"'The total number of banished monsters is fourteen. Therefore, Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head's ATK and DEF values are 7000 points!'"

Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head [7000/7000]

"'ATK, 7000 points?!'" Samejima glanced at his Cyberdark End Dragon on the Field. Its 6000 ATK points suddenly didn't seem so impressive. "'Although Cyberdark End Dragon has the ability to be unaffected by the opponent's activated effects, did you actually surpass it in ATK?'"

"'Hayato, by Summoning Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head, you truly showed me genuine 'hope'. But I must use this card as a response to your all-out Duel.'" Samejima said, activating his Set Card in the Spell/Trap Zone. "'Chain to the Special Summon of Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head, activate Trap Card Bottomless Trap Hole!'"

"'When your opponent Normal Summons, Special Summons, or Flip Summons a monster, change that monster to Face-Down Defense Position and it cannot change its Battle Position!'"

Seeing that the Set Card Samejima activated was this one, Hayato laughed triumphantly: "'Muda muda muda! Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head, Special Summoned by Descent from the Sky Dragon Constellation, is not an existence whose soul can be bound by mere gravity!'"

"'It is unaffected by other cards' effects! Even if we don't compare ATK and DEF, Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head's resistance surpasses your Cyberdark End Dragon!'"

"'Nani?!'" Samejima looked at his activated Bottomless Trap Hole, which had successfully activated but had no effect on the Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head in the sky. He wore a very surprised expression. "'Unaffected by outside effects... Is this the independent power of the stars?'"

"'However, I won't give up just like this!'" Since the effect to weaken the opponent didn't succeed, he would strengthen himself instead. "'I activate the effect of Cyberdark Invasion! Once per turn, equip Cyberdark Chimera from my Graveyard to Cyberdark End Dragon as an Equip Card that increases its ATK by 1000 points!'"

Cyberdark End Dragon (Cyber End Dragon, Cyberdark Cannon, Cyberdark Chimera) [ATK 6000→7000]

"'Heh heh, weak, weak, weak. 'Cyberdark' ultimately relies only on external force. Before absolute power, it's completely defenseless.'" Hayato played the last card in his hand. "'Then let's use this card to put an end to this Duel!'"

"'Activate Spell Card, Harpie's Feather Duster!'"

"'Destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on your opponent's Field!'"

The power originating from Harpie Lady turned into a storm, transforming Samejima's filled Spell/Trap Zone into a land of raging winds. Cyberdark End Dragon wailed, yet it couldn't resist this absolute power stripping away its Equip Cards one by one.

Cyber End Dragon, Cyberdark Cannon, and Cyberdark Chimera were stripped away one by one and returned to the Graveyard. Cyberdark End Dragon, its power dropping back to its original 5000 points, raised its head and noticed the Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head in the sky looking down at it. That gaze was like a human observing a tiny ant on the ground out of curiosity.

Cyberdark End Dragon [ATK 7000→6000]

Hayato's voice came from outside the storm: "'Then, enter my Battle Phase. Let this final blow, symbolizing starlight, purify everything.'"

"'The darkness of 'Shadow Cyber Style', I will crush it!'"

"'Cyber Heavenly Dragon Head attacks Cyberdark End Dragon! The name of the attack is...'"

"'Inferno Unrivaled Bursting Wave Cannon!'"

The plot of Kamen Rider Revice is getting better and better. Tamaki is becoming more of a comedian, Kagerou has become a 'True Fragrance' guy, and I'll take a guess that Weekend's boss is Karizaki's dead father (the Gene Stamp was developed by Karizaki based on his father's research, a foreshadowing from the first episode).

PS: There are only five cards left in the Deck, a 20% win rate. Although this is also a Reference from Sister Shui's Video, I didn't just make it up; there really were five cards left. I even felt it was too coincidental when I was writing it.

Hayato's Deck calculation: King of the Swamp searches Polymerization, Cyber Repair Plant Recycle + Search, Cyber Dragon Core Search one, Graceful Charity Draw six, then Time Capsule Banish one, Remaining 25.

Second turn draw one, then Graveyard Recycle Graceful Charity and Draw 6 again, Cyber Dragon Core Special Summon Nachster, Remaining 17, then Power Wall Send 12 Cards, exactly 5 cards. Truly unintentionally replicated a classic.

PS2: As everyone knows, dazzling stars are luminous celestial bodies, and the Sun is also a luminous celestial body.
