Chapter 271: The Strongest Dragon
Chapter 271: The Strongest Dragon
"You're still unable to let go of your obsession with the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Seto."
Gosaburo said calmly, his tone suddenly turning sharp as he spoke.
"But! Even the Ultimate Dragon cannot break free from the constraints of the Dragon tribe! The effect of the Dragon Destruction Sword forces the Ultimate Dragon to remain in defense mode!"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon: ATK 3000 / DEF 3800
"You've summoned your strongest monster, and it seems this is your limit, Seto." Gosaburo stated, "In the end, you still couldn't break through."
"I activate the magic card, 'Advanced Draw.' By tributing a Level 8 or higher monster, I draw two cards from my deck.
The tribute I offer is..."
He pointed to his field.
"...my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Gosaburo: "?"
What was the meaning of going through the trouble of summoning the Ultimate Dragon, only to tribute it away?
However, the three-headed white dragon had already dissipated into specks of light, and Kaiba drew two more cards.
Gosaburo frowned.
What are you thinking, Seto?
"This guy here is wondering what you're thinking, Seto." Kaiba said.
Gosaburo's expression turned to one of surprise.
"Are you troubled? Confused?" Kaiba smirked, his arms crossed, "That's why I said, you merely thought you had evolved, but you haven't at all, Gosaburo.
Back then, you couldn't decipher my tactics, and nothing has changed now.
This duel has long fallen into my rhythm, and we're just one step away from your defeat. You're just too dull to realize it yet."
"What?"
Gosaburo could no longer hide his astonishment.
"I've countered all your moves, and I have the unbeatable Ultimate Swordsman on my field.
Although the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Bottomless Eyes' from your graveyard is equipped to my field, with the additional 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' you just summoned, there are still seven Dragon-type monsters in your graveyard. The attack power of the Dragon Destruction Sword remains at 9800.
In this situation, what will you do?"
"If you want to know, then watch closely, Gosaburo, just like how you watched me defeat you with your prized chess piece back then, just like how I gradually dismantled your forces and took the Kaiba Corporation from you.
You've always been a terrible chess player, Gosaburo, and I'm always three steps ahead of you!"
Kaiba played another card from his hand.
"Magic card, 'Greed Jar'! Return five monster cards from the graveyard to the deck and shuffle them, then draw two cards!"
Gosaburo immediately realized what was happening: "Greed Jar, so that's how you reduce the number of Dragons in the graveyard?
Return 'Blue-Eyes Alt White Dragon', 'White Spiritual Dragon' discarded by Hand Destruction', 'Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon', 'Ruffian Mercenary Force', and 'Justicarp, Sea Horse' from the graveyard to the deck, shuffle them, and then draw two cards!"
The five cards turned into golden lights and flew back into the deck, and Kaiba drew his cards.
"With three fewer Dragon-type monsters in the graveyard, Dragon Destruction Swordsman's attack power decreases by 3000!"
Dragon Destruction Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman: ATK 9800 → ATK 6800
"Uh..." Gosaburo furrowed his brows, "...but even so, its attack is still 6800."
However, before he could finish his sentence, he quickly realized something was amiss.
If he had chosen to shuffle back five Dragon-type monsters, the attack power of the Dragon Destruction Sword should have decreased by five thousand points. Why did it only decrease by three?
"Magic card, 'Dragon's Mirror'!" Kaiba shouted, "By removing Fusion Materials from the game, I Fusion Summon a Dragon-type monster!"
A white light blossomed from his graveyard, and three cards popped out one after the other, which Kaiba swiftly grabbed.
"I remove from play the three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' cards from my graveyard to Fusion Summon once more!"
Gosaburo was taken aback: "But your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is already in the graveyard!"
Kaiba paid him no heed and continued, "The strongest and most ultimate dragon in history, transcending the limits of time and space, descends upon this field—
—Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, I summon you!!!
The three white dragons appeared on the field once more, their bodies merging in a radiant light, as if bursting forth with a dazzling, white-hot glow.
Gosaburo furrowed his brow, "Even the new evolution of the Ultimate Dragon has been abandoned. Why summon this outdated form of the Ultimate Dragon, which should have been obsolete by now? Moreover, as long as it's a Dragon-type, the Dragon Destruction Sword forces it into Defense Mode and negates its effects."
"Is that so?" Kaiba smirked, his arms crossed.
"What?" Gosaburo asked, knitting his brows further.
"The effect of the 'True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' in the graveyard," Kaiba explained coldly. "'As long as this card exists in the graveyard, your 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' on the field cannot be targeted or affected by your opponent's spells, traps, or monster effects.' (Original effect)"
Gosaburo: "!!!"
He couldn't believe there was another ability hidden up Kaiba's sleeve.
"Impossible!" Gosaburo exclaimed, his eyes widening as he looked up at the ultimate white dragon in disbelief.
Unable to be targeted or affected by any effects...
"Has the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon transcended even the gods?!?" Gosaburo's expression turned grim. "But even though returning three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' cards from the graveyard to your hand reduces the Dragon Destruction Sword's attack by 3000, you've summoned another 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'. With the 'True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' still in your graveyard, the Dragon Destruction Sword's attack will still increase by 2000!"
[Dragon Destruction Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman: ATK 4800]
"Even if the Ultimate Dragon isn't affected by the Destruction Sword's effect, its attack power is still insufficient."
"Activate the last card on the field."
Kaiba ruthlessly interrupted the chant and revealed the final face-down card he had set earlier.
"Equip Spell Card - Gigantification! When your LP is lower than your opponent's, double the ATK of the equipped monster!"
Kaiba pointed to the strongest white dragon on his field.
"The effect of 'True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' in the graveyard prevents it from being targeted or affected by my opponent's effects, but it can still be affected by my own card effects. So, I equip 'Gigantification' to the 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon', doubling its attack power!"
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon: ATK 4500 → ATK 9000]
"Attack power of nine thousand?!" Gosaburo's face twisted in dismay.
An attack power of nine thousand, immune to targeting and unaffected by any card effects...
This was overwhelming!
"I have long surpassed you, Gosaburo, and I will continue to stride into the future!" Kaiba declared. "If you thought you could defeat me with absolute suppression against Dragon-types, then my White Dragon will break through with tenfold, a hundredfold strength! Lie back down in your coffin, take your obsession and absurd ambition to the grave!"
Kaiba waved his hand, signaling for the final attack.
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack the 'Dragon Destruction Swordsman - Destroyer Swordsman'! Ultimate Burst Stream of Destruction!!!"
The three heads of the white dragon unleashed their ultimate breath, merging into a storm of light! The ultimate dragon slayer couldn't withstand the mightiest dragon, and the torrent of light swept through his body, disintegrating his armor and the dragon-slaying sword along with it. The flow of light continued unabated, engulfing Gosaburo as well.
"Gosaburoooooooooo!!!!!" he roared in anguish.
[Gosaburo: LP 4000 → LP 0]
