STORY & ILLUSTRATIONS No.13
A “Duel Terminal” World Addendum Story
The Battles Of Those Who Survived
A planet inhabited by diverse lifeforms, whose souls cycle through the Sacred Tree. This is the story of the aftermath of two youngsters who lived through the battle in which the fate of the world was at stake, and the decisive battle that unfolded after that.

The Rise of a New Tribe
The tragedy of their tribe, followed by a war against the powerful Worldcreation God. A little more than 10 years after that…
The light of the bonds they once saw, and the glittering hope disappearing into the future…
The scars left behind by the great war run deep, but the two youngsters who survived it inherited the dying wishes of those who are no longer with them, vowing to fight to protect the land and those living in it from any new conflicts. Others sharing their resolve naturally rallied under their banner.
The two of them upgraded the rituals performed by the “Aquamirror”, which can transform minds and bodies, elevating it into the ritual technique of the “Descending Magic Mirror”, which equips the souls of the summoned war heroes as armaments.

The Other Sacred War
While the fate of the world was at stake during the battle between “Zefraath” and “Tierra, Source of Destruction”, the appearance of “Infernoid Flood”, the last remaining Deathsciple of the Azure Flames, drove the allied forces, even “Ritual Beast Ulti-Nochiudrago”, into a corner. “Spiritual Beast Tamer Lara” awakened the power the Worldcreation God power in herself, unleashing a power that rivaled it.
At that time, almost as if responding to that power being unleashed, the massive weapon hidden in the Sacred Tree, “Zefra Metaltron”, activated itself. In the blink of an eye, it manifested to the battlefield that was covered in Azure Flames.
Lara, who had just unleashed the power that is holding her life together, no longer had the power to operate Metaltron. She entrusted part of the Metaltron to the other being who held part of the power of the Worldcreation God: “Nekroz of Sophia”.
Nekroz of Sophia transfered “The Power of Creation and Destruction” to the “Descending Magic Mirror”, upgrading it into the “Nekroz Divinemirror”. And then, through the Divinemirror, which became a divine relic of all Creation and Destruction, she equipped Zefra Metaltron on herself and began the final fight against Infernoid Flood.

TL notes:
-The “Sacred Tree” is written as the 神星樹 (shinseijuu, Divine Planet Tree). This is the term used in Naturia Sacred Tree.
-“Worldcreation God” (創星神, souseishin) is the title in the Japanese name of Sophia, Goddess of Rebirth. It also applies to Tierra, Source of Destruction, but chronologically speaking, this would refer to Sophia.
-“Descending Magic Mirror” (降魔鏡, koumakyou) is part of the Japanese name of Nekroz Mirror. The Divinemirror replaces the first kanji with 神 (divine).
-“Deathsciple” (死徒, shito) is a homophone of 使徒 (disciple) replacing the first kanji for “death”. This has been used for Infernoids through the Duel Terminal lore.
-The “Azure Flames” (蒼焔, souen) have been mentioned in the lore before as well. The term is used in the Japanese name for Eye of the Void.
