Asuka's movements never paused. Her slender fingertips immediately drew out a second card and slipped it into her Spell & Trap Zone with a flick of her wrist!
"I activate the Ritual Spell from my hand-[Machine Angel Ritual]!!"
Boom!
An enormous golden mechanical altar descended thunderously from the void to a solemn hymn, intricate ritual patterns of light spreading madly across the marble floor like flowing water!
"I Tribute the Level 4 [Cyber Gymnast] in my hand and the Level 2 [Cyber Petit Angel] on my field!"
"Four plus two makes a total Level of six!"
Two pillars of light shot skyward. The Gymnast and Petit Angel dissolved into pure light and plunged into the flames atop the altar.
Asuka crossed her hands before her, her expression solemn and dignified, her clear voice echoing above the Dueling Hall.
"Merciful deity born of light, descend here and deliver the world!"
"Ritual Summon! Appear! Level 6, [Cyber Angel Benten]!!"
A sacred rain of light fell as a majestic valkyrie burst forth, clad in ritual armor woven in white and bright blue and holding a silvery-white feathered staff, hovering gracefully in midair!
[Cyber Angel Benten] [6 stars/LIGHT/Fairy] [ATK: 1800 / DEF: 1500]
The students from the red, yellow, and blue dorms instantly stirred in the stands.
"A-a Ritual Monster?!"
"When did our goddess switch to a Ritual Deck?! That's so cool!"
"Not only did she pull off a Ritual Summon right away, but her hand management was that smooth?!"
Bastion Misawa adjusted the glasses on his nose, a flash of admiration in his eyes. "In an academy where Fusion dominates, she actually devoted herself to building such a rare Ritual strategy... Tenjoin's depth as a duelist truly isn't to be underestimated."
Yet Asuka had only revealed the tip of the iceberg
