1
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:08,279
Speaker 1: Hello friends from across the nation and around the world.

2
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:12,560
My Martin and you are listening to Dad's bedtime stories,

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,559
and tonight we are finally headed back to the Cards

4
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:21,079
of Power universe. If you haven't been listening in a while,

5
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:25,320
our current arc has taken us to a deity level tournament.

6
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:31,359
You have recently passed the preliminary rounds and now it's

7
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,439
time for the actual tournament, which means it's time for

8
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,920
a listener's suggestion. Let's see what we have here.

9
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: I'm Martin, I'm Dominic. I live in Australia, and I

10
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,799
have a suggestion for the cardon Power series where in

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,920
the Deity tournament, Magnus is sick, so you have to

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,719
use Dominique the Dingo, and then at the very end

13
00:00:55,119 --> 00:00:59,200
only or to one or two of his clones is left,

14
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:06,879
and then eventually his clones win and his opponent is

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:13,719
a armadillo that has like titanium almah, and its power

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,400
is like speed and strength. So yeah, thanks Martin.

17
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: Love the book cost by Well Dominic. I really do

18
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:27,400
like Dominic the Dingo. It might be because I've done

19
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,760
like three full episodes on him. I think his backstory

20
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:32,480
and everything that you can check out if you want to,

21
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:36,640
And it might just be because you know, he has

22
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:40,359
time manipulation powers and time clones, which I think is

23
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,000
really cool. Any Ways, if you have an idea for

24
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:47,159
the Cards of Power series, or really any other series,

25
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:52,079
I am particularly interested in getting ideas for opponents for

26
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,719
the Deity level tournament. You know both other card holders

27
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:59,599
and their powers. So leave me those suggestions and you

28
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,840
just might find it on a future episode. If you

29
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,799
like the podcast, don't forget to rate it, review it,

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,039
interact with it, or share it with a friend. It

31
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,800
all helps a lot. We are a small, independent podcast,

32
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,439
and by we, I mean just me. It's really just me.

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,400
You're running this whole thing by myself, so any support

34
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:27,800
goes a long way. Now it's time to get as

35
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,879
comfy as you can in that bed, close your eyes

36
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,479
and imagine yourself doing what the kid in the story does.

37
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,520
You wake up inside your highly advanced looking hotel. You

38
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,639
nudge Magnus awake as well. Ah, what what's going on?

39
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:54,080
It's time for the actual tournament. You say, we're in

40
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:00,159
round one. We pass the preliminaries. Oh oh yeah, I

41
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,400
mean of course we did. With me around How could

42
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:09,919
you possibly lose. Magnus says, uh right, well, let's go

43
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,319
get some breakfast. You head downstairs to the main lobby,

44
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:19,560
where you have a pretty amazing Continental Hotel breakfast, as

45
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:23,719
you usually do. Then you check one of the screens

46
00:03:23,759 --> 00:03:27,560
to see where you're set to battle, but it indicates

47
00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:32,560
that you're in main battle Arena three. You haven't been

48
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:36,439
in one of the main battle arenas before, so you're

49
00:03:36,479 --> 00:03:40,400
interested to see what it looks like. You pull up

50
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:46,680
the map, check the location, and then head outside. Outside

51
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,599
you summon your magical wings card, and you and Magnus

52
00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:55,759
fly high above all of the people and things below.

53
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,319
From up above, it's also easier to tell where the

54
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:04,039
battle arena you're looking for is because it, well, it

55
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,439
looks a lot more like the map you were looking at.

56
00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:11,360
You spot a very large building off in the distance,

57
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:18,920
surrounded by smaller battle arenas, and you fly directly toward it. Below,

58
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,600
you see streams and streams of people headed into the arena.

59
00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:30,720
They must be spectators ready to watch your battle. The

60
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:33,680
whole idea of that many people watching makes you a

61
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:39,519
little bit nervous. You soon spot another entrance that's labeled

62
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,560
for competitors. You float down and land in front of

63
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:50,639
the door planes present your credentials. A robotic looking person says,

64
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,759
you produce your ID card from your card core. Understood,

65
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,639
you will be taking part in the first mas of

66
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,720
the day. Please proceed through the doors to dressing room one.

67
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:10,800
When it's time for the tournament to begin, the doors

68
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,279
will open and you will enter the main battle stadium.

69
00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:21,800
Oh okay, got it, you say. You make your way

70
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:26,439
down the hall and into a large and very empty

71
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:33,360
dressing room. What do we do now, Magnus asks, I

72
00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:37,800
guess we just wait, you say. As you sit down

73
00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:43,040
on the bench, you can hear the crowd getting louder

74
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,040
and louder from outside the dressing room, and soon the

75
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,839
doors open. Well, I guess the time, buddy. Are you ready?

76
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,879
Am I ready? I was born ready? Those other creatures

77
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:02,839
better watch it. I can probably defeat all of them

78
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,839
on my own. You won't even need your other cards.

79
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,079
Oh good, you say, but at least I have them

80
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:17,279
just in case. You head out the main doorway and

81
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,439
enter into a gigantic arena. It's on a completely different

82
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,600
scale from the other ones you've battled in so far.

83
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,920
There are stands covered by some sort of protective force

84
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,439
field with thousands or maybe tens of thousands of spectators

85
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,160
that look like they're from all different planets. There's floating

86
00:06:43,399 --> 00:06:49,920
cameras and drones circling around the battlefield, a giant holographic

87
00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:55,480
screen displaying close ups of well you and Magnus walking

88
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,240
in in this case, along with your power readings and

89
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:04,879
no card abilities. There also seem to be several alien

90
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:10,480
announcers commenting from little floating glass booths that make their

91
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:14,879
way around the arena. One of the announcers is playing

92
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,800
over the speaker. Our next competitor is something of a

93
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:26,160
historical curiosity, the first cardholder from Earth to enter this

94
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:33,480
tournament in over one hundred years. That's Roy Gary. The

95
00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:39,560
Earth only recently reopened its Deity level protected area. Until then,

96
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:45,519
the most powerful cards were stored off world, primarily in

97
00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:53,160
their lunar zone. Very interesting indeed. Now on the other

98
00:07:53,399 --> 00:08:01,000
end of the tournament's stadium, we have a crowd favorite Vorlax.

99
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,720
You look across the stadium to see an enormous blue

100
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,240
alien with four arms, a wide head, and tiny little

101
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,399
legs that never touch the ground because he's floating on

102
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:23,399
a hell a high tech looking chair he looks lazy,

103
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:29,439
but he's clearly an experienced tournament cardholder. You make your

104
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360
way to the center line of the stadium, where a

105
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:38,440
referee walks towards you. We'll hurright, everybody, good to have

106
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:41,919
you here. Now, I just need to go over the

107
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:48,679
rules of the competition. As you probably already know, each

108
00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:55,399
competitor is going to select three creature cards. Only one

109
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,960
magical creature card can be active at any time. When

110
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,120
a creature is defeated, it will, of course automatically return

111
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,759
to its card, and your opponent will receive one point.

112
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:16,919
The first card holder to get two points by defeating

113
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:23,840
two of the other person's creatures will win. A victorious

114
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,440
magical creature can remain for the next round, or it

115
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:34,559
can be voluntarily withdrawn. Now, please make way to your

116
00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:40,639
protected areas. You nod and understanding, and you and Magnus

117
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:44,279
head to the back of the arena. Do you stand

118
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,799
inside a circle and a force field immediately appears around you,

119
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,679
shooting all the way up to the top of the arena. Magnez,

120
00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:00,200
understanding that he's obviously going to go, first, steps forward

121
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:05,320
and begins to evolve. He moves through all of his

122
00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:12,679
evolutions this time, first transforming into a bipedal dragon, then

123
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:19,639
growing larger into a traditional fire dragon, before growing into

124
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:25,279
an incredibly sized mythic dragon, and then shrinking down a

125
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,200
little bit to his deity level, a black dragon with

126
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,879
veins of pure sunlight energy, and of course, a connection

127
00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:42,200
to pretty much every element. At this point, Vorlax lights

128
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,840
up his cardcore from across the arena, light streams out

129
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,440
of it and forms itself into a gigantic blob of

130
00:10:54,399 --> 00:11:03,399
slime or something, a huge living slime creature. It honestly

131
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:10,399
resembles a giant pile of snot or something like that. Competitors,

132
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,559
are you ready? You nod to the referee in agreement,

133
00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:22,360
Vorlax nods as well. A shield appears around the referee

134
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,200
and he floats up into the air. Then we will

135
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:37,480
begin in three two one go. Magnus doesn't hesitate at all.

136
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,799
He takes a huge breath and unleashes a blast of

137
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:49,000
solar fire. It hits the slime directly and causes it

138
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:53,440
to explode into a whole bunch of different pieces that

139
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,440
fly all over the arena. They hit the walls, they

140
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:03,080
hit the sh shields, they hit the ground, the ceiling,

141
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:11,960
and well, a few of them even hit Magnus. Ah cross,

142
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,759
Magnus says, quickly, trying to rub off the slime, he

143
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,200
sets his entire body on fire to try to burn

144
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,720
it away. Then all of the little balls of goo

145
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,000
begin to move, transforming into smaller versions of the slime

146
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:39,679
itself and moving back down towards Magnus. One by one,

147
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,039
they spring off of the surfaces they've landed on and

148
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:49,799
shoot directly at the dragon. Magnus attempts to dodge. He

149
00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:53,600
moves out of the way, swings his tail, bats some

150
00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:57,759
of them to the side, but others collide with his body,

151
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:04,759
creating really nasty looking goobers all over him. Oh it's

152
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:11,039
is disgusting, Magnus says. Then he lights up into a

153
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:17,360
bright white light, as bright as the sun itself, and

154
00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:21,720
the little pieces of slime begin to boil and then

155
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:29,120
completely melt away off of his body. Unfortunately, more slime

156
00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:34,159
starts to approach. Magnus looks to the little water feature

157
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,559
inside the arena, reaches out with his mind, grabs the water,

158
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,480
and begins flying it all over the arena. He splashes

159
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:48,639
as many of the creatures as he can and instantly

160
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,559
freezes the water into ice. As they attempt to attack again,

161
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,399
Magnus shoots a column of earth up around his body

162
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,919
and i'll different directions and continues to attack using the water.

163
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:11,559
Creature after creature is well frozen solid and unable to move.

164
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:17,279
But well, there's just too many of them. Magnus gets

165
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,480
hit from behind with a ball of slime. He can't

166
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,440
quite figure out exactly what it does, but well, it

167
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:32,279
doesn't feel very good. In response, he decides to go

168
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:39,519
well nuclear. Magnus lights up a bright white color again,

169
00:14:40,559 --> 00:14:45,519
until an aura that creates a sort of mini sun

170
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:51,360
around him begins to burn. Everything in the arena becomes

171
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:58,919
incredibly hot. The ground melts into lava, the water evaporates.

172
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:03,519
All of the plant life, and grass and trees spread

173
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:12,080
throughout the arena almost instantly incinerates. Even through your protective shield,

174
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,600
you can feel the heat. But luckily for you, it

175
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,519
does seem to work. The little goobery creatures start to

176
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:30,279
disintegrate themselves, and soon, in a flash of light, the

177
00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:38,200
creature disappears and reforms into its cardcore. Ladies and gentlemen,

178
00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:44,840
we seem to have a winner. One point awarded. The

179
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:51,799
crowd jeers the cameras spin around Magnus as he allows

180
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:56,200
the heat to dissipate from the arena as he turns

181
00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:02,679
the floor into well obsidian. As he often leaves arenas.

182
00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:07,360
The place is completely destroyed after such a powerful display

183
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,639
of heat magic. But well, at least the slime creature

184
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:19,440
was defeated. But Magnus suddenly doesn't look so well. He

185
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,879
takes in a deep breath and unleashes a gigantic sneeze

186
00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:31,480
that brings fire with it. Ah, I suddenly feel really

187
00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:40,960
dizzy and really sick. He sits down on the ground. Ah.

188
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:46,559
Maybe that's what the creature's powers were. You say you

189
00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:51,559
defeated it before it defeated you, but it seems like

190
00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:57,759
it still impacted you. Ah well, let's get on with

191
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,720
the next round, Magnet says, because I need a nap,

192
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,240
A buddy, I think it's probably better if you take

193
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:10,839
a nap now you don't look so well, And if

194
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,039
you get defeated in the arena, then well we lose

195
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:22,119
a point a fine. Turn me back into a card,

196
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,480
and with that you know that Magnus really isn't feeling well.

197
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:31,720
He hates being a card. You reach out with your

198
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:37,359
card core and recall the creature. He transforms into a

199
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:43,200
bright blue energy, then zips across the arena and slams

200
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:50,839
into your card core. Your opponent, Vorlax, produces another creature

201
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:57,119
from his card core, a gigantic armadillo that looks like

202
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:03,200
it's covered in titanium. You think about all of your options,

203
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,559
all of the deity level creatures you have, but your

204
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:14,640
mind lands on one in particular, one that, uh well,

205
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:23,759
is almost as difficult to defeat as Magnus Dominic. Dominic

206
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:30,400
the dingo your card core glows, A stream of blue

207
00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:34,680
light shoots out of it and forms itself into a

208
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,599
dingo that's well about twice the size of a wooly

209
00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:47,119
mammoth Dominic. He immediately summons a sort of stone armor

210
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,079
around his body, and vines shoot up out of the ground.

211
00:18:53,559 --> 00:19:04,559
We will begin round two men three two one go Immediately,

212
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:12,680
Dominic begins to summon clones. They are energy clones, exactly

213
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,359
like most magical clones are. Dominic's clones are a little

214
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:24,160
bit different. Each one is actually a different version of

215
00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:30,920
Dominic from a different timeline, a different possible reality that

216
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,960
never came to be. The clones start to appear all

217
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:43,440
around the arena surrounding the Titanium Armadillo. Each one looks

218
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:48,480
a little bit different than the others. One has dark

219
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:54,759
stone armor, another has really long claws. Another is covered

220
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:58,319
in thick vines rather than any kind of stone at

221
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,759
all some of them. Some are different colors too. There's

222
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:08,079
a silver one, a dark black one. There's one with

223
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:13,920
glowing blue eyes, and another that looks rather battle scarred,

224
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,839
a slash across one of his eyes and a whole

225
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:26,119
bunch of scars across his body. Dominic disappears, He activates

226
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:32,920
his camouflage ability and well presumably sits to watch the battle.

227
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,200
After all, Dominic has never been one to get involved

228
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:41,920
entirely on his own. When his clones can do the job,

229
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:48,279
he saves his own involvement for more important situations. In

230
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:54,400
an instant, the Titanium Armadillo begins to flash across the arena.

231
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,319
He moves quicker than you can possibly see, and in

232
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,000
a flash, one of the clones turns back into energy

233
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:10,759
and disappears. In another flash, the armadillo rolls across the

234
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:16,359
arena and crashes into another clone, the one covered in vines.

235
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:24,079
Clearly the Armadillo's fast, lucky for you, though, Dominic has

236
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,039
never been one to you know, accept time as it is.

237
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,039
After realizing what's happening with the other clones, the remaining

238
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,799
ones shift their awareness into a new rate of existence,

239
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:47,599
a much faster rate of existence. Though from your perspective,

240
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:53,000
the battle simply transforms into a bunch of flashes that

241
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,319
shoot from place to place. You catch a glimpse of

242
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,279
one of the Dingoes every now and then, or the

243
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:05,680
Titanium Armadillo, but in general they're all moving too quickly

244
00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:09,839
for you to perceive. A few more of the clones

245
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:15,079
are destroyed, but they do add a couple scratches to

246
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:20,799
the armadillo. In the meantime, you see the Titanium creature

247
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,160
reappear behind two of the clones and slash them with

248
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:34,240
his claws. The two clones disappear, transforming back into energy,

249
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:41,119
leaving only a few clones behind. The armadillo flashes across

250
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,759
the arena, again appears in front of another clone, and

251
00:22:45,839 --> 00:22:53,279
then freezes in place as a strange sound passes across

252
00:22:53,319 --> 00:23:03,200
the arena, a beautiful sound, Dominic. The Dingo, the original one,

253
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:11,000
reappears behind the Armadillo, its mouth open, letting out an

254
00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:20,880
incredibly soothing sound. The armadillo seems content and well, sort

255
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,519
of stunned for a moment, And at that exact moment,

256
00:23:26,319 --> 00:23:32,119
every one of Dominic's remaining clones suddenly appear beside it.

257
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:37,000
An unleash, a swape of their claws, a bite of

258
00:23:37,039 --> 00:23:42,319
their teeth, a smash of their tail. The armadillo was

259
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,519
wrapped in vines, hit with stone attacks, and pummeled until

260
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:57,400
it eventually cracks. Then, in a flash, Dominic, the original one,

261
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:03,519
disappears from where he's stay and reappears with his mouth

262
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:10,160
around the armadillo. He crushes its armor, and soon the

263
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:16,599
entire thing transforms back into blue energy and shoots into

264
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:24,720
your opponent's core. The crowd cheers. Well, ladies and gentlemen,

265
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:33,240
I believe we have a winner, second point awarded match over.

266
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:41,640
The crowd cheers. The protective force field surrounding you disappears.

267
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,920
When you walk back towards the center of the arena.

268
00:24:47,279 --> 00:24:52,400
You call Dominic back into your card core. His remaining

269
00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:59,119
clones glow, rejoin Dominic, and then Dominic himself begins to

270
00:24:59,279 --> 00:25:06,079
glow and shoot into your cardcore. The announcer's voices appear again,

271
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:14,319
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we are making history here again.

272
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,720
A competitor from Earth, once again, the first competitor in

273
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,000
over one hundred years from Earth at the deity level tournament,

274
00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:32,759
has just defeated a tournament favorite, Vorlax. You put your

275
00:25:32,839 --> 00:25:38,000
hand out towards Vorlax, ready for a handshake, but instead

276
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,720
Vorlax turns his nose up, spins around in his little

277
00:25:42,759 --> 00:25:50,079
flying chair, and leaves the arena. Uh okay, you say,

278
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,920
walking towards your dressing room door again. The doors open automatically,

279
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,240
and as you walk inside, the noise of the crowd

280
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:07,920
gets quieter and quieter. You head out of the dressing

281
00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:13,599
room door and down the competitor's hallway. You leave the

282
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,400
building and immediately summon your magic wing card, allowing you

283
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,640
to float high up into the air and back over

284
00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:29,880
towards your hotel. Seeing all sorts of people crowded outside

285
00:26:30,039 --> 00:26:35,200
with cameras and microphones and that sort of thing, you

286
00:26:35,319 --> 00:26:39,240
decide it might be better to avoid crowds right now.

287
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:46,000
You spot the balcony for your room. You fly directly

288
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,000
over to it and land on the porch. You scan

289
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:56,200
your key card, the door unlocks and you enter inside

290
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:02,839
the building. You immediately collapse ups onto the bed. The

291
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:08,720
lights turn off. You close your eyes, and with each

292
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:15,160
breath your body starts to sink down deeper and deeper

293
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:23,559
into the mattress, And with each breath your mind begins

294
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:30,640
to wander off to thoughts of new dreams, new deity

295
00:27:30,759 --> 00:31:01,799
level cards, and new adventures to come. Good night, everyone,
