Well the ruler of sea is first. Only aquatic monster gets to survive even they like the water. IGN has this image. Stay tuned for Rayquaza and Groudon.

2 Level 7 monsters
Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; Fish-Type, Sea Serpent-Type, and Aqua-Type monsters gains 400 ATK. When this card is destroyed by battle: Destroy the attacking monster; your opponent takes damage equal to its ATK.

During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy so all non-WATER monsters that are on the field that is not WATER attribute gets destroyed.

Two issues I see with this thing:

  1. You can boardwipe at Spell Speed 2. Any instance of "During either player's turn" turns it into a Quick Effect, making it freely chainable and much more versatile.
  2. There is no activation restriction.

I understand that Kyogre is the God of Ubers, but this is pushing broken. Doubly so because it becomes a very potent boardwiper for Mermails.

As the above user already mentioned, it's essentially an instant Dark Hole/Raigeki for non-WATER monsters. 

Plus since it is a generic Rank 7 (and I believe I've already mentioned the potential abuse with Rulers or w/e spams Level 7s in your other threads). 

 

Even if I were to suggest adding an Attribute requirement or something, stuff like Mermails (as Gadj just said) or Ice Barrier (combined with Tidal) can still abuse this. A Type requirement might fix this though, but it depends what you decide to do with it. 

 

 

Flavor-wise, it fits but for applications in the actual game, you need an activation restriction (or some form of limitation after using it). Right now, you can just detach and clear out the field w/out much effort; and that's pushing it. Adding a "This card cannot attack during the turn you activate this effect" or something should help balance it out. 

 

 

(OCG has already been fixed for you; please take his fixes to consideration when designing future cards.)

Really, a Type Restriction and the making this thing a once per turn during your turn would work. It'd had the same effect as the Rank 8 Thunder End Dragon, pretty much, but at least it'd be balanced.

Oh, and for the correct OCG on your card

"During either player's turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy all non-WATER monsters on the field."

Not sure if it has to say face-up, but I feel like it should mention that.

@Therrion: Yeah, I think it should mention that also.

Otherwise, it'll end up like those elemental reptiles from Strike of Neos that bomb face-downs and non-(insert Attribute) monsters. 

 

Come to think of it, Silent Abyss (which this card's effect mirrors) can be used to Xyz Summon this, considering it's Level 7.
