"This thing seems like it can be used on Dark Magician Girl?"
That was why Anos felt this card was rather interesting.
According to the rules of a duel, this card could only designate Dark Magician Girl and one Dragon-type monster to fuse into Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight.
However...
This was not a dueling arena, and the effect of this Magic Card was not bound by formal duel rules.
In theory, using [The Eye of Timaeus] and [Dark Magician Girl] could fuse them into a dragon knight form.
After fusion, Timaeus's form would not change, while Dark Magician Girl would put on knight armor.
In reality, however...
There were even more interesting ways to use it.
Anos decided that once everything was over, he would properly experiment with it.
"We are here. This place should do."
Anos brought Sairaorg to the inner space.
The inner space was a special space created by the Biblical God.
From the outside, it looked basically no different from Kuoh Academy in the real world.
Of course, its meaning and inner nature were completely different.
Here, even if the outside world were destroyed, one could still rely on this small world and continue surviving.
This was not a temporary battle space created on the spot, but a true world.
"The Red Dragon Emperor is here. Looks like the rumors from before were true."
As Sairaorg and Anos approached the sports field, an angel spoke from the side.
"Ohhh, is that Lord Sairaorg? But even if it is Sairaorg, he should not be that person's opponent, right?"
A young giant crossed his arms and cast an interested gaze over.
"Nonsense! The Red Dragon Emperor, the White Dragon Emperor, and that Majestic Star Dragon. Who can beat them? Unless he refuses to use all of those, even the boss of our pantheon would get beaten senseless if he came here."
A pig snorted as he spoke.
Mm...
Although the matter of Indra being violently beaten had not spread too widely, he had still heard about it from Bikou.
"True. If he uses the power of his Sacred Gear, then even Sairaorg would..."
This was how most people viewed this duel.
"Cough, cough. I heard about it. President will not be the one taking action. He is only going to randomly summon a life-form. It will not be something like the Red Dragon Emperor."
A twin-tailed Phoenix girl with curled hair defended her President.
"Oh? Ravel, tell us more."
A large crowd immediately gathered around her.
That was right.
If they wanted information, it was naturally best to start with someone close to Anos Kanzaki.
"This, well, basically..."
Ravel began explaining in a panic.
"It seems the news has already spread."
Anos sighed.
He could only brush up his presence now.
After all, the time he had agreed upon with Goddess Hephaestus was almost here, so he had to fulfill his promise first.
"I do not mind. Please make your move first."
Sairaorg shook his head.
He naturally did not care about any of those things.
In any case, he only needed to give it his all.
"All right. I do not know what will be summoned either, so be careful."
Anos smiled as he spoke.
After all, according to his judgment, there was a fifty percent chance that the summoned life-form could defeat Sairaorg.
"It should not... summon Esdeath, right?"
This subtle thought emerged in Anos's mind.
His hand did not slow down. He directly used the summon card.
"You who stand beneath me, entrust my fate to your sword."
"Answer my summons, if you obey this will and the laws of heaven."
"Respond at once."
"Here, I swear... your frost shall become chains, bound to my body."
"I am the master who commands these chains..."
"Circle the words of your contract, from the throne of another world, guardian of azure blue!"
As Anos chanted, azure radiance scattered wildly.
It pierced through everyone's bodies as if it possessed edges, passing through things it normally could and things it normally could not.
Within the ice-blue radiance, a young woman with the same hair color walked out.
"Mm... not Esdeath."
"But still quite good."
Anos rubbed his chin.
He had also made a related judgment before. The possibility of summoning Esdeath was extremely low.
The girl with azure hair walked out from the formation.
She was like a blue lotus blooming amid the mortal world, elegant and otherworldly.
Her long azure hair hung casually, with a few loose strands brushing softly against her forehead in the wind.
She wore a half-open kimono that shimmered with icy-blue light, and her tall, slender legs were perfectly displayed above her white socks.
She wore no ornaments at all, yet she possessed a powerful presence and charm that felt clean and pure to the extreme.
This was the appearance of the azure-haired girl who appeared before everyone.
At first glance, she carried an ancient elegance like misty rain, a hazy moon, a small bridge, flowing water, and a quiet night.
But on closer inspection, one could sense the terrifying pressure lingering around her body.
It was a sharpness that made people unable to meet her gaze, a feeling that made them want to look away after only one glance.
If one had to use a single phrase to describe her, then it would be...
The Ice Queen.
Anos naturally knew her name.
Cang Yue.
"Are you the one who summoned me?"
Cang Yue noticed the young man before her.
She had crossed into this world in accordance with the contract, and she could sense the connection between herself and the young man in front of her.
"Anos Kanzaki. I look forward to working with you."
Under the slightly dissatisfied gazes of Rias, Sona, and a group of girls, Anos smiled and extended his hand.
"My name is... Cang Yue."
Cang Yue stared at the man before her. After a few seconds, she still extended her hand.
According to the contents of the contract, this was the final ritual.
"..."
The moment their hands touched, specks of golden light bloomed between them.
Cang Yue could sense the connection between herself and the person before her.
As the price for helping her, a mark that allowed him to command her had been engraved onto his hand.
Of course, this was not the most important point.
The most important point was...
She had sensed Anos's true nature.
"You are...!"
The Ice Queen revealed a rare expression of surprise.
So in other worlds, such existences truly did exist?
If gods existed here, then there should also be beings like Lucifer and fallen angels, correct?
Cang Yue knew that this world's Lucifer and fallen angels were definitely different from those of her own world.
They were...
Life-forms from true mythology.
"Shh."
Anos smiled and made a silencing gesture.
It seemed even the Ice Queen had moments when she was surprised.
"So this is my opponent?"
Sairaorg cast an interested gaze toward Cang Yue.
Then...
He spoke extremely straightforward words, but also very in line with his personality.
"Even if my opponent is a woman, I will not hold back."
As he spoke, a layer of white aura appeared around Sairaorg's body.
Even from a distance, one could sense the powerful presence contained within that aura.
