E'Rah ativates the Continuous Spell Card "Sea of Rebirth" allowing her to Special Summon a Monster each time her opponent summons a monster.

She Special Summons "Bahamut Shark" (ATK 2600/DEF 2100) and "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" (ATK 3000/DEF 2500). The effect of "Sea of Rebirth" activates Special Summoning two "Strain Spores" (ATK 0/DEF ???) to E'Rah's side of the field. Next, she activates the Continuous Spell Card "Sky of Endless Night". As long as it is Face-up in E'Rah's Spell and Trap Card Zone, monsters she controls will become Xyz Material for an Xyz Monster that is Face-Up on the field. She then precedes to activate "Bizzare Sacrifice", destroying all monsters she controls. This activates the effect of "Sky of Endless Night", attaching a copy of "Strain Spore" as Xyz Material to both "Bahamut Shark" (0 → 1) and "Number S39: Utopia the Lightning" (1 → 2). E'Rah then activates the effect of her two "Strain Spores", because they became Xyz Material, she is allowed to Special Summon an "E'Rah Monster" to her side of the field with 100 ATK points more than its counterpart. She Special Summons "Bahamut Shark E'Rah" (ATK 2700/DEF ???) and "Utopia the Lightning E'Rah" (ATK 5100/DEF ???). She then activates the Equip Spell Card "Strain Element", Equiping it to a monster on her opponents side of the field to Special Summon an "E'Rah Monster" with 500 ATK points more than the equipped monster. She equips it to "Galaxy Eyes", Special Summoning "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon E'Rah" (ATK 3500/DEF ???) to her side of the field. Next, E'Rah activates the Continuous Spell Card "Shifting Land", making her own Life Points equal to the combined ATK of the monsters she controls (LP 100 → 11,300). She declares an attack against "Utopia the Lightning" using "Utopia the Lightning E'Rah" but Yuma activates his set "Shield of Bones", allowing him to Negate E'Rah's attacks this turn by negating his own monsters effects and reducing their ATK points to 0, "Utopia the Lighning" (5000 → 0), "Bahamut Shark" (2600 → 0) and "Galaxy-Eyes" (3000 → 0). E'Rah sets one card face down and ends her turn.
