Chapter 392: What is So-Called Fate?
"8100 attack points!"
"An attack from the Super Ancient Terror Dinosaur!"
Loren roared in anger. "Destroy Sea Monster Seto Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon Emperor!"
All the dinosaurs on the field attacked together, and the golden light from the monsters converged on the Super Ancient Terror Dinosaur. The surging energy gathered in its mouth, turning into a mighty torrent that exploded forth!
As the earth-shattering roar reverberated, a brilliant burst of light accompanied the thunderous blast. Loren's vision suddenly blurred, and his consciousness wavered as the massive terror dinosaur before him seemed to overlap with a figure from his memory.
". "
". Loren's birthday present."
The man handed a finely crafted little dinosaur toy to the child.
The child beamed with joy and ran back to his room, adding the new toy to his collection.
He had loved dinosaurs since he was little and had a whole box filled with various dinosaur toys. The man often brought him unique toy figurines whenever he returned from a business trip.
But how could the child have known that that day would be the last time he received a gift from the man?
". "
In a daze, the little dinosaur seemed to merge with the Super Ancient Terror Dinosaur on the field, like an avenger filled with hatred, channeling all its rage into a powerful energy explosion.
"The effect of 'Wand of the Demon Mallet' allows me to special summon it during the Battle Step," Seto said calmly. "And I regain 1000 life points."
[Wand of the Archfiends: ATK/0 DEF/1300]
[Seto: LP 4000 → LP 5000]
"Additionally, the second effect of 'Wand of the Beast Mallet' lets me tribute this card to increase the attack of one of my monsters by 1000 points until the end of the turn. This effect can also be activated during your turn."
Seto pointed to the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon Emperor.
"Tribute 'Wand of the Demon Mallet' to increase the attack of 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon Emperor' by 1000 points."
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon Emperor: ATK 4000 → ATK 5000]
"Even with that boost, the Super Ancient Terror Dinosaur still has higher attack!" Loren shouted. "Continue the attack and destroy that dragon!"
With its attack raised to 5000, the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon Emperor already possessed a ceiling comparable to the Five Emperors in normal circumstances, but it wasn't quite enough in this situation.
The Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon Emperor's armor couldn't withstand the overpowering impact as the assault pierced through its body. The majestic dragon dissipated into stardust, and hellish flames engulfed Seto, violently slamming into the green light barrier behind him and creating ripples that pulsated outward.
[Seto: LP 5000 → LP 1900]
"Brother!"
Keiping anxiously tried to rush forward.
Seto staggered backward but managed to steady himself.
"Barely made it," he said calmly.
Loren was now enveloped in the green fiery light, and his eyes seemed to be burning with intense fervor.
"You're still standing? Excellent, very excellent! But this level of power is far from enough to quell my fury!"
"However, there's a drawback to the 'Warrior's Charge' card you activated," Seto reminded him. "'Warrior's Charge' requires you to destroy all your attack position monsters at the end of the battle phase."
"Heh, I'm well aware of that," Loren replied.
As Loren finished speaking, his field erupted in a series of explosions. The Dark Triangle Terror Bird Dragon, the two Little Horn Dragons, and finally, the Super Ancient Terror Dinosaur, all shattered before his eyes.
Just like his collection, his past, all went up in flames and turned to ash.
"Little Horn Dragon's effect," Loren said grimly. "'When this card is destroyed by an effect and sent to the graveyard, add 1 Level 4 or lower Dinosaur-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.'
Since two Little Horn Dragons were just destroyed, I can special summon two Level 4 dinosaurs from my deck.
"I special summon 'Ultimate Tyrannosaurus' and 'Super Hammer Head Dragon'!"
[Ultimate Tyrannosaurus: ATK 2000 → ATK 2500]
[Super Hammer Head Dragon: ATK 1500 → ATK 2000] (Amplified by Orichalcum's Barrier)
"After enduring the backlash of 'Courageous Advance', he's still able to maintain his field presence. I suppose he anticipated that Seto Kaiba might have a countermeasure and deliberately used Little Horn Dragon's ability to preserve his resources," commented Ryouda, observing from the sidelines.
After all, if he hadn't done that, all his monsters would have self-destructed due to the card's effect after this round of attacks, leaving him vulnerable to a counterattack next turn.
"Ultimate Tyrannosaurus boasts the highest attack power among 4-star monsters, and Super Hammer Head Dragon is even more troublesome," added Marufuji Ryouya from the audience.
"If Super Hammer Head Dragon survives the battle without destroying the opponent's monster, it can return the opponent's monster to their hand."
"A superb lower-level dinosaur with one of the best removal effects."
"To turn the tables so decisively against a formidable monster like Chaos Emperor Dragon and still maintain such a field... That guy's incredibly strong, too," Jadai added, unable to contain his excitement. "Suddenly, I really want to duel him as well!"
"I set one card. End turn," Loren said coldly. "No matter the outcome of today's duel, this is a battle of fate. Since that day, I've been living for this moment!"
"Fate?"
Kaiba seemed like he wanted to laugh out loud.
"Do you find that amusing?" Loren asked angrily.
But Kaiba didn't bother to explain.
"My turn, draw!" Kaiba declared. "I activate the magic card 'Greed Jar' and draw two cards from my deck."
Kaiba drew two cards.
"Next, I activate the magic card 'Dark Factory of Mass Production' to return two normal monsters from my graveyard to my hand."
A golden light shone from his graveyard, and two cards automatically returned to his hand.
"I return the two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' to my hand."
Loren furrowed his brows. "One was sent to the graveyard by 'Dragon Dictator' and the other by 'Angel's Charity,' right?"
"You're quite the duelist yourself," Kaiba said nonchalantly. "Then allow me to send you off with the absolute strongest power in history. You should feel honored. I activate the magic card 'Polymerization'! Fusion Summon using the three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand!"
Three White Dragons appeared behind Kaiba, roaring fiercely. The White Dragons merged into a vortex of fusion, as if a brilliant white light ripped through the sky. The three dragons spun within the light, accelerating and forming a substantial energy storm that raged with the White Dragons at its center.
As if time had solidified and the world had faded, the ultimate three-headed White Dragon descended amidst the endless radiance!
"True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon," Kaiba summoned.
[True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon: ATK 4500]
Loren squinted, facing the storm and the torrent of energy, as he looked at the massive white dragon.
"The Ultimate Dragon, a symbol of Seto Kaiba's power, huh?" Loren said coldly. "Then let me crush it! I activate the trap card 'Survival Boundary' from my graveyard! By excluding this card from play, I can destroy any card on your field and any Dinosaur-Type monster I control. I destroy 'Ultimate Tyrannosaurus' and 'True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'!"
Loren's expression twisted.
"Watch Kaiba's prized monster disappear right here!"
The trap card emerged from Loren's back row, and Ultimate Tyrannosaurus seemed to be empowered by the trap's energy, enveloping itself in scorching energy like a human bomb as it charged towards the Ultimate Dragon!
