It's been three (thanks to "Turn Jump") turns since it had been set, so Yugi tributes his two "Tricky Tokens" to Special Summon two monsters. He chooses "Slifer the Sky Dragon" (ATK: X000 / DEF: X000), and "Obelisk the Tormentor" (ATK: 4000 / DEF: 4000). Both in Attack Position.

**"Almighty protector of the sun and sky, I beg of thee, please hear my cry. Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. Envelope the desert with your glow. Unlock your powers deep within, so that we may save the world. I beseech thee - appear in this Shadow Game. But first I shall...call out thy name, Winged Dragon of Ra!"
*"The Winged Dragon of Ra" is released from it's 'Sphere Form' and transforms into 'Battle Mode'.
*Activates the hidden effect of the "Egyptian God Cards" and does the 'Call of the Pharaoh' chant, merging the three "Egyptian God Cards" into "The Creator God of Light, Horakhty" (ATK: Infinity / DEF: Infinity).
*Attacks and destroys "Shadow Titan" with "Horakhty" (Shadow Queen: 4000 -> 0).
*"Miracle Reverse" cannot activate due to Life Points being lower than 1.
Yugi wins.
