Illusion Tower - Central Core
Nightsee Cang stood at the core of the tower. Queen and Joker cards floated around him, emitting an unstable light. Across from him, Clareya Mournarmor slowly moved forward, a crack in her mirror armor revealing a half-cybernetic body beneath.
"Personality systems... you do not understand their ultimate meaning," she whispered, her voice seeming to echo from hundreds of parallel worlds.
Nightsee Cang remained silent. The cards spun, as if the very laws of the world were spinning at his fingertips.
"You wish to restore the order of personalities," "And I-"
"-have come to destroy it."
In an instant, the Queen card shone brightly while the Joker writhed in darkness - one forward, one backward - one light, one dark - Dual Card Resonance - [Illusion Throne Domain] Activated!
Inside the room, Clareya's Mirror Domain broke apart. Her movements slowed, her consciousness pulled into the labyrinth of illusions that Nightsee Cang had constructed.
"Where is this?"
She froze for a split second.
Nightsee Cang shouted:
"Illusion Technique Seventh Form - Heart Dive!"
The Queen's structure reversed, and her card face turned into a Queen's Shadow, sealing part of Clareya's consciousness inside the illusion world.
Startled, she roared and unleashed "Personality Freeze Matrix," clashing her authority with Nightsee's!
The space trembled, the core of the tower restructured, and the illusion shook violently.
"Illusion Tower Outer Zone - Bailan vs. Freyel
Blue-violet illusion flames ignited above Freyel, six synchronized personalities exploding out, each illusion capable of real physical attacks. It pushed Bailan to the edge of the barrier.
"Too late, illusionist, I am your 'truth beyond truth.'"
Blood trickled from Bailan's mouth, but cold light shone in his eyes.
He tore open the last scroll seal:
"Mirror Technique - True Self Domain - [Final Curtain of Mirrors]!"
The entire battlefield plunged into a mirror world. Freyel suddenly realized:
You reflected my illusions... and trapped them within your own consciousness barrier?"
Bailan approached her, one step at a time:
"You are right-you are above the truth," "But I-under the illusion."
Bringing his palms together, the mirror core exploded, reconstructing the false and the real!
"Central Area - Midou Kari vs. Roman
Whip cracks thundered.
Midou Kari had already pushed "Memory Devourer" Roman to the limit.
Roman desperately unleashed "Memory Burst Zone" to erase Kari's memories, but Kari roared:
"Memories aren't for you to steal - they're for me to protect!"
His eyes bloodshot, he lashed out with a final heavy blow:
Beast Insignia Secret Art - Severing Whip - Abyss Rend!
The whole memory field exploded. Roman was blown out of the tower, his body disintegrating into memory streams.
Kari fell to her knees, panting like a beast:
"This whip... I keep only for faith."
"Funk vs. Noval
Noval used Command Overwrite to suppress Funk to the brink of conscious annihilation.
"You are unworthy to wield Personality Parsing."
Funk knelt as his body began to disintegrate.
At that moment, a figure passed through the Illusion Gate - "You haven't finished this path yet, Funk.
It was Tendou Kyouichi, his body wrapped in bandages, but standing in the illusion with a sword.
He gently plunged the sword into the core of Funk's consciousness.
"I entrust this 'Judgement' to you."
"I may no longer be Captain of the Sword Club, but... I am still the Sword of Dongun."
Soul Link - Duel Will Resonance activated.
Funk regained clarity, ancient runes flickering in his eyes.
"My sins are not yet atoned for."
He stepped forward and began to reverse the "Overwrite Structure", preparing for a final counterattack against Noval!
"Tower Top - Black Card Awakens
At the top of the tower, the director drew the last card - → Spade Ace - First Personality Core "Nightsee Cang, can you withstand the 'Trial of Kings'?"
The black ace soared into the air and slowly descended into the illusion core.
Suddenly, the core of the tower collapsed!
Awakening Whispers Nightsee Cang was half-kneeling amidst the torn illusion.
The Joker Card writhed violently. A voice echoed in his mind:
"Nightsee... you have finally arrived."
On the surface of the card, a new one slowly appeared - the Jack of Hearts.
He smiled softly and whispered:
"If you want to protect everyone's personality..." "Then you must first understand... the price of personality."
Nightsee Cang's eyes widened and his consciousness sank into a deep depression.
