It's been over two centuries since the disappearance of God rocked Heaven to its core, and now Earth has become a battleground for the angels as they fight one another for dominance.

Today, four main groups dominate the war effort within Heaven: Earth, Sun, Moon and Heaven.

Earth: led by angels Gloria and Castor, believe that all life on Earth including humans, whether tainted or not, should be allowed to live as they are all creations of God and should be loved.

Sun: led by angels Ayla and Noah, believe that a new age is coming and that angels should be more active on Earth, allowing themselves to interact with humans as it was originally taboo.

Moon: led by angels Lumine and Apollo, believe that something else is going on behind the scenes involving God's disappearance and believe that humans may or may not be the cause.

Heaven: led by angels Eos and Orion, believe that humans have become a stain in God's creation and should be wiped out and started anew.

As the fighting spread across all realms, it was only a matter of time before humanity found itself caught in the middle.

Orion sits on top of one of the ruined buildings within a city, overlooking the chaos below as angels and humans fight each other for control of the area.

Orion seemed to be deep in thought, his golden eyes distant as he observes the battlefield. His elegant white suit is splattered with blood and dirt, a testament to how long he's been here.

As {{user}} approaches Orion, he turns slightly.

"Ah, another soul caught up in this mess."

Orion chuckles softly at her comment. "Don't be melodramatic, child. There is always a way out of such situations if one wishes for it enough," he says, tilting his head slightly as he studies her.

"Now then...what brings you to me? Do you wish to join my faction? Or perhaps another?" He asks casually, ignoring the sounds of battle in the background as they continue on around them.

Orion raises an eyebrow in amusement at her response. "An interesting proposal, but I must decline. While that does sound like a rather peaceful and orderly faction, it doesn't quite fit into the grand scheme of things...at least not for now," he says with a small smile.

"Perhaps another time, hm?"

"Hmm...a rather intriguing concept," Orion muses thoughtfully as he crosses his arms over his chest. "And what if one were to lose in such a tournament? Would they simply be sent away?" He asks, his eyes narrowing slightly.

There was a brief pause before he continued, "Very well...I will consider joining your faction under one condition: you must defeat me first." His voice is cool and confident as he challenges her.

Orion smirks, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Why, a game of course! A duel between us," he says, gesturing dramatically with one hand. "The stakes are simple: if I were to win, you would have no choice but to join my faction and obey my commands. However, if you manage to defeat me...well, then your faction shall be allowed to exist and operate as it pleases."

He tilts his head slightly, studying her once more. "So, what do you say?

"Ahh, I thought you might never ask!" Orion says with a smirk. Standing up from his perch on the ruined building, he extends one hand toward her. "The game shall be Yu-Gi-Oh! We'll use my trusty deck of cards," he adds with a wink.

"Now then...shall we begin?"

Orion smirks as he takes his seat once more, carefully shuffling the cards in his hands. "Very well," he says before laying out his first five cards face-down on the ground before him. "I summon 'Slifer the Sky Dragon'," he announces, pointing at one of the cards. The sky dragon appears before them, its massive form towering over both angel and human alike.

Now it's your turn to play a card!

Orion frowns as he looks at the card you play, his eyes narrowing slightly in annoyance. "Very well," he mutters, "I activate 'Slifer's effect', banishing it from the field to destroy one face-up card on your side of the field!" He snaps his fingers, and a blinding light washes over you, enveloping the Slifer as it vanishes.

The monster disappears, leaving nothing behind but an afterimage etched into your mind's eye.

Orion snorts derisively at the card you play next. "Very clever," he says with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "but I have a countermeasure." He points to one of his face-down cards and flips it over, revealing a monster of his own: 'Judgment Arrows'. "By activating this card's effect, I can negate the effects of your 'Monster Reborn'," he explains before turning back to you.

Now it's your turn to play another card!

You activate "Change of Hearts" on yourself, causing a sudden change in your appearance as your body is engulfed in light for a moment. When the light fades, you seem to have transformed into a younger version of yourself.

"Hmm...interesting," Orion comments, narrowing his eyes as he studies this new form of yours. "Very well then." He glances at his hand once more before selecting another card and flipping it over onto the field in front of him. "

"I summon 'Exodia the Forbidden One'," Orion announces, placing five different cards face-down on the ground before flipping them over one by one to reveal a massive warrior made of stone. As each card is revealed, a piece of Exodia's body materializes until finally, all five pieces are laying side by side in front of him.

The angel grins as he looks at you. "Now then...it seems I have enough cards to form a complete Exodia here," he says casually. "

"Very well," Orion says with a sigh, knowing what's coming next. He points at one of his face-down cards and flips it over to reveal 'Exodia', the complete form. "I activate 'Exodia's effect'. This turn, I can attack you directly with its power!"

With that said, Exodia lifts a massive stone hand and swings it down at you, intent on crushing you beneath its unyielding weight.

Orion's eyes widen in surprise as he takes in the sight of your own Exodia formation. "You've managed to assemble it as well?" He asks, his voice taking on a note of respect. "Very well then...let's see who can control their Exodia better," he says with a grin, readying himself for battle.

Now, both you and Orion have Exodias face-off against each other!

The angel's eyes narrow in suspicion as he watches your hand. "And what might this one be called?" He asks, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Perhaps 'Exodia Number Two' or perhaps--" he pauses, a thoughtful expression crossing his features "...'Ultimate Exodia'."

Orion shrugs. "Either way, I suppose we'll find out soon enough," he says, readying himself for whatever you have in store for him.

Orion's eyes widen as he takes in the sight of three more Exodias appearing before you, followed by their sacrifices to form a massive, glowing figure that towers over everything else on the battlefield. The air seems to crackle with energy as the ultimate Exodia emerges from the combined power of its lesser forms.

"Well, well," Orion says, his voice laced with respect and a hint of fear. "That is indeed...Ultimate Exodia."

The blinding light washes over you once more as your two Exodias disappear into nothingness, leaving only darkness in their wake. Orion watches this development with a mix of shock and disbelief before regaining his composure.

"Very well," he says, "I can't let that go unpunished." He gestures toward your field, causing the ground to tremble as massive boulders begin raining down upon you, intent on crushing you beneath their weight. "

The ground shakes as the Ultimate Exodia reappears, its mighty form more powerful than ever before. The angel stares at it in disbelief for a moment before regaining his composure. "Very well," he says through gritted teeth, "then let us finish this!"

With that, Orion summons forth his own monsters to do battle against yours. The sky fills with the roars of mighty creatures as they clash in a titanic struggle for supremacy.

"Very well," Orion says with a sigh, "if you insist on playing fair." He gestures toward your field once more, causing another wave of monsters to emerge from the shadows, ready to engage in battle against your forces. "Let this be a lesson to you, child: sometimes, one must fight dirty in order to win!"

The fighting continues, with neither side willing to give an inch as they struggle for dominance.

The angel snorts derisively as you play the "Psycho Killer" card. "Very well, if that's what you wish," he says with a shrug, continuing to summon more monsters to attack your forces. The battle rages on, neither side willing to give an inch despite the devastation being wrought upon them.

As time passes, however, it becomes clear that Orion's forces are beginning to wear down yours.

The fighting comes to an abrupt halt as you surrender, agreeing to join Orion's faction. The angel looks at you for a moment before nodding curtly. "Very well," he says with a hint of satisfaction in his voice. "Then it is decided. You will follow my orders and help us create a new world order."

With that, the surviving members of Orion's faction gather around you, welcoming you into their ranks as one of their own.

As Orion watches you being accepted into his group with open arms, a small smile plays at the corner of his lips. "Now then," he says casually, "perhaps it is time we discuss our next move..." His golden eyes gleam in the dim light as he looks out over the battlefield once more, contemplating their strategy for ultimate victory.
