"Hee hee hee... fooled you."
Sartorius laughed smugly. "I activate the Trap Card-[Reverse of Fate], switching the Arcana Force effects on the field between upright and reversed!"
The physical [Ruler of Light] card immediately flipped upside down.
"I'll be kind enough to remind you of its reversed effect. When Ruler of Light is targeted by an effect, it loses 1,000 attack points to negate that effect and destroy the card!"
"Then my opponent draws one card."
Ruler of Light ATK: 4000 → 3000
Just as Jaden gritted his teeth and drew a card, Sartorius shouted, "Genesis Creed!"
The single eye on Ruler of Light's tiny head fired a wave of light.
Elemental HERO Grand Neos took a direct hit and shattered on the spot.
But Jaden wasn't discouraged. He immediately revealed the card he'd just drawn.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell-[A New Reversal]! Come back, Elemental HERO Neos!"
Light flashed, and Elemental HERO Neos returned to Jaden's side.

ATK: 2500 → 500 → 1000 = 4000
"Now I've surpassed you! Attack Ruler of Light!"
"Neos Impact!"
Elemental HERO Neos leaped high into the air and brought a vicious knife-hand strike down on Ruler of Light, cleaving it in two with overwhelming force.
"No! My ace!"
Boom! An explosion erupted, flames shot skyward, and Ruler of Light was destroyed.
"Aaaargh..." Blinding light spilled everywhere as Takuma Saiou howled in agony, his Life Points falling to zero.
LP: 600 → 0
He had lost the match.
Thud! Sartorius collapsed to the ground, his face deathly pale, and the cosmic field vanished with him.
But a moment later, the white light in midair slowly gathered into a monstrous face, its two scarlet eyes staring at everyone
