"Sea Dragon Daedalus!?" Bakura recognized the Monster, recalled its Effect, and loudly warned Chumley: "This is bad, Chumley! That Monster's Effect is—!"
"The Effect of Sea Dragon Daedalus is to Destroy all Cards on the entire Field except for itself!" Before Bakura could finish explaining the Effect, Anacis stated the Card's Effect himself. "Although it requires sending Umi on the Field to the Graveyard, everything else will be engulfed by the flood!"
"Rise, waves, and devour all, Sea Dragon Daedalus! Wipe out everything except yourself! Deep Sea Extinction Destruction!"
Hidden beneath the surging waves, Sea Dragon Daedalus began to swim around the entire Field. Its massive body could stir up giant waves with just a slight movement, let alone such violent activity now! Amidst the colossal waves that seemed to reach for the sky, Chumley finally caught sight of the hidden Sea Dragon Daedalus.
**Sea Dragon Daedalus** [Level 7/WATER]
[Sea Serpent/Effect]
[ATK 2600/DEF 1500]
"Before it is Destroyed, I Activate my Set Card on the Field, (Interdimensional Matter Transporter)!"
One of Chumley's two Set Cards in his Back Row flipped open, revealing a rather fantastical-looking device. "I can Banish one Monster on my Field until the End Phase. Go to (Another Dimension) and temporarily evade the giant waves, (VW)!"
The device activated, and a seemingly fragile grey membrane appeared before the (VW)-Tiger Catapult in the sky. The (VW)-Tiger Catapult entered the membrane, and almost immediately, towering waves swept over.
Although the (VW)-Tiger Catapult evaded Sea Dragon Daedalus's Destroying Effect thanks to (Interdimensional Matter Transporter), Chumley's other Cards on the Field could not escape. (Frontline Base), the already Activated (Interdimensional Matter Transporter), and the Set (Dig of Destiny) were all swallowed by the sea waves.
The waves gradually receded, revealing the land originally submerged by Umi. Aside from Anacis's majestic Sea Dragon Daedalus on the Field, Chumley's Field was completely empty.
"Hahahaha, although that flying machine dodged it, your Field is now completely empty." Anacis chuckled triumphantly. "Now, you'll have to face its Direct Attack!"
"Go, Sea Dragon Daedalus, Sea Dragon Torrent!"
Seeing a large volume of water gather in Sea Dragon Daedalus's mouth, forming a huge compressed water sphere, Chumley remained unfazed. "Before that, the Effect of (Dig of Destiny), which was Destroyed by your Daedalus, Activates!"
"When it is Destroyed by your Effect and Sent to the Graveyard, I can Draw Cards from my Deck equal to the number of (Dig of Destiny) in the Graveyard!"
"It's just one Card, what good will that do? Useless, useless! All resistance is feeble and pathetic before Sea Dragon Daedalus, the symbol of oceanic authority!"
Chumley was not affected by Anacis's words. Instead, he calmly placed his finger on his Deck. "I entrust my Heart to the Deck, and the Deck will naturally answer my call. So, Draw!"
Drawing a Card from the top of his Deck, Chumley heard a familiar "Kuri~" and played the Card without even looking. "The Monster I Drew is this one, (Rainbow Kuriboh)!"
"Aibo, save me!"
Although Umi had vanished, the air remained damp. As sunlight fell, a dazzling seven-colored rainbow appeared on Chumley's Field. The rainbow transformed into a soft yet resilient band of light, bravely meeting the water cannon fired towards Chumley. Because it was for protection, the illusory rainbow band of light was indestructible at that moment, and even the majestic Sea Dragon could not tear it apart.
"Kuri!"
(Rainbow Kuriboh)'s figure emerged from the band of light and, riding it, flew to Anacis's Field, completely surrounding Sea Dragon Daedalus, which was powerless against the rainbow band, and took full control of it.
"Daedalus's Attack was blocked? What's going on!" Anacis couldn't believe his proud Combo had been stopped by such a seemingly frail and adorable Monster.
**Anacis:** 1250 LP, Hand 1
**Sea Dragon Daedalus** ((Rainbow Kuriboh)) [ATK 2600]

"Because your Turn has Ended, return from (Another Dimension), (VW)!"
(Interdimensional Matter Transporter)'s effect duration ended, and the (VW)-Tiger Catapult returned to Chumley's Field through the grey Dimension wall.
"Oh no, if that flying machine Activates its Effect again, wouldn't Boss's Daedalus be Destroyed!?" Socrates considered an ominous possibility. "If that guy Summons another Monster with 1250 or more ATK, Boss will be in danger!"
"My Turn, Draw!" Chumley Drew a Card, glanced at it, and revealed it. "I Activate the Effect of (Graceful Charity), which I just Drew! I can Draw three more Cards, then Discard two Cards from my Hand."
After Drawing three Cards, Chumley chuckled. "I Discard two Cards from my Hand, then I Activate (Graceful Charity) again!"
"Constantly changing your Hand, it seems your Hand isn't very good." Anacis watched Chumley Draw three more Cards, then Discard two. Because in the current Duel Monsters environment, Graveyard resources weren't utilized very well, he didn't realize that what Chumley was doing was called Milling.
"It'll be fine soon, Uncle." Although the number of Cards in his Hand remained three, the two (Graceful Charity) effects had just sent all three (Ojama) brothers, who had been lingering in Chumley's Hand for a long time, into the Graveyard. "Because the laws of victory have already been decided!"
"I Activate (Ojama Delta Hurricane!!) from my Hand! I can reveal one Monster for you to see, then Banish any number of 'Ojama' monsters from my Graveyard, Hand, or Field." Chumley said, pulling a Monster from his Extra Deck. "I'm revealing this one, (XYZ-Dragon Cannon)!"
"By banishing three 'Ojama' monsters to Another Dimension, I can then Special Summon the three Materials needed for (XYZ-Dragon Cannon) from my Deck!"
"Come to my Field, (X-Head Cannon)! (Y-Dragon Head)! (Z-Metal Tank)!"
Stuffing the struggling three (Ojama) brothers into his pocket, Chumley didn't stop after Summoning the three Monsters. Instead, he slammed the previously revealed (XYZ-Dragon Cannon) onto the Duel Stage:
"There are three Level 4 Monsters on the Field, here I go, Anacis! I will Overlay these three Monsters to build the network, XYZ Summon!"
"Descend! (XYZ-Dragon Cannon)!"
