CXXIV. Test of Chaos (Part 2)

•Xaphoria(1700): Draws. Activates Treaty of the Heavens.

"By banishing a Pendulum, Xyz, Synchron, and Fusion Monster from my graveyard, I can add Cross of Time from my deck to my hand!"-Xaphoria

Banishes Red Dragon, Black Dragon, White Dragon, and Violet Dragon frim his graveyard to add Cross of Time from his deck to his hand.

"Cross of Time.........I know that name...."-Yuko

"You do?"-Xaphoria

"I-I had a dream and I saw this glowing symbol in the sky and.....oh no. That's your play, The Cross of Time!"-Yuko

"You know about it..."-Xaphoria

"Is that your beautiful plan? What is the Cross of Time, Xaphoria?!"-Yuko

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me. I'm not sure how you about it, but I intend to keep you in the dark. Are you ready to see my spell's powerful strength?"-Xaphoria

"Not really..."-Yuko

"Don't worry. I don't intend on killing you."-Xaphoria

Activates Cross of Time.

"Prepare to witness something you've never seen before! By tributing a Dragon-type monster I control, I can select a certain kind of monster from my deck that has the same level as the dragon I tributed!"-Xaphoria

"What kind of monster?"-Yuko

"Deltrus may have told you about the forbidden summoning techniques and about the Hyper Zeo Summon, but I'm sure he didn't prepare for this. I tribute Valtorus to bring out my most fearsome beast! I Ritual Summon Xeltrus, Dragon Lord of the Inbetween!!!"-Xaphoria

Tributes Valtorus and Ritual Summon Xeltrus, Dragon Lord of the Inbetween(Light/Lv.9/3500 atk).

Yuko couldn't believe what he was seeing. Before him was a serpent-like silver dragon with black wings with razor sharp claws and talons on its wings. It's roar sent chills down Yuko's spine. This was beyond anything he's ever faced before.

"A Ritual Summon..." Yuko couldn't understand why he never knew about this method. Just as he was getting used to all of the summonjng mechanics, something new gets thrown at him. This completely caught him off guard.

"No...what is this...why didn't I know about this..."-Yuko

"Altros instructed me to control a mortal to change the mechanics of the game many years ago. I was originally supposed to only get rid of the Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum Summons and create the Zeo Summons, but I knew that Ritual Monsters had to go as well. None of the other gods even remembered the Ritual mechanic, but I didn't. I took it upon myself to banish it along with the others, leaving me as the only being left to know of it's existence. Well...now you do as well."-Xaphoria

"I've never faced a monster like this before..."-Yuko

"Of course you haven't. But I'll help change that. I activate Xeltrus' effect!!"-Xaphoria

Activates Xeltrus' effect and selects Orionus.

"By selecting a Zeo Monster you control, I can reduce its attack points to zero and increase my dragon's strength by 500 times the selected monster's level!!"-Xaphoria

(Orionus:3500 atk/0 atk) (Xeltrus:3500 atk/8500 atk)

"Nice try Xaphoria. I may be facing a new threat, but that doesn't I've lost my duel skills. I activate a trap!!"-Yuko
