Can I use this card's <End Your Turn> effect to place 1 of my level 6 Digimon on top of my security stack even when I don't have [Lucemon: Chaos Mode] in my trash?
Yes, you can. Even if the part after the conditions specified with "by X" in an effect can't be resolved, the effect can still activate.
