Chapter 416: Ultimate Dragon
Chapter 416: Ultimate Dragon
"I activate my Spell Card, 'Dragon Awakening Melody'!"
Kaiba played a card from his hand.
"Discard one card, then add two monsters with an ATK of 3000 or higher and a DEF of 2500 or lower from your deck to your hand."
Blue data streams converged towards his deck, and two cards automatically popped out after searching through the deck.
"I add these two cards, 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 'Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my deck to my hand!"
"With 'Parallel World Fusion,' all three Blue-Eyes cards have been shuffled back into the deck," commented Yugi.
"Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon can be Special Summoned by revealing a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand," explained Kaiba.
With a sharp slap, Kaiba played his card onto the Duel Disk.
"By revealing 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand, I Summon this card. Descend now and make your appearance—
—Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
A subspecies of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, this altered form of the sacred and shining dragon writhed in the air above Kaiba's field, its bone wings flapping as it let out a heavy roar.
[Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon: 3000 ATK]
"The effect of Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon activates once per turn. Destroy one monster on the field!" Kaiba declared. "I destroy your Dark Magician Girl!"
The altered dragon opened its mouth, and a dazzling white light swirled within, erupting forth as a bursting gust of wind.
"As expected, President Kaiba isn't giving us even a moment to breathe. He's going all out with his attacks right from the start," commented Ryuji.
"If you don't push forward, you'll be left behind and eliminated as a weakling," Kaiba said coldly. "It's up to you to keep up, reach the pinnacle, and become a true Duelist, or falter and be left behind.
Fujiki Yugi, show me what you're made of!"
"Alright then," Yugi replied, slowly raising his arm.
"I activate my face-down card.
Continuous Trap Card, 'Shining Mirror Force.'
As long as this card remains on the field, negate the effects of all Light Attribute monsters that are activated on the field or in the graveyard!"
Ryou Bakura's eyes widened.
"There it is again! That trap card!" Kyouhei exclaimed.
Known as the bane of Light Attribute monsters, this trap was an absolute blockade against Kaiba's deck, which primarily consisted of Light Attribute monsters, including the VWXYZ series and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
The image of the altered dragon was reflected in the mirror, and the dazzling light swirling in its mouth gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
"This should seal most of Kaiba's monster effects. Although the activation of the effect was negated, the ability of the Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon is essentially used up, and it cannot attack this turn either," observed Ryou.
Ryou glanced at Kaiba.
With this, the tide of the duel seemed to turn once more.
"This time, it's an effect-sealing card. Indeed, against the Blue-Eyes, it's a card with tremendous blocking power. That's what you were counting on, wasn't it?" Kaiba asked, his eyes narrowing.
"But over the years, the Blue-Eyes have evolved far beyond that!
I activate my Quick-Play Spell Card—Ultimate Union!"
A cyclone of light and wind swirled above the field, as if threatening to tear space itself apart. This was a quick-play fusion spell exclusive to the Blue-Eyes.
"Ultimate Union is a fusion spell exclusive to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It can only be activated during the Main Phase," Kaiba explained. "Choose any fusion material from your hand, field, or graveyard, and by shuffling those fusion materials back into the deck, you can perform a Fusion Summon for a Blue-Eyes Fusion Monster!"
Kaiba took a card from his graveyard and added it to his hand, along with another Blue-Eyes from his hand, and displayed them both.
"By fusing the Blue-Eyes discarded by Dragon Awakening Melody, the other Blue-Eyes in my hand, and the Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field, which can be treated as a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon,' I perform the ultimate fusion of three Blue-Eyes!"
"The Shining Mirror Force can only negate the effects of Light Attribute monsters that need to be activated. The effect of treating the Altarted Blue-Eyes White Dragon as a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' is a continuous ability, and even the Shining Mirror Force cannot negate that.
The dragon's body, cloaked in white scales, shimmered with a white-hot brilliance akin to purifying holy light. Its broad bone wings, capable of stirring up the wind and clouds, exuded an air of unmatched majesty and divine power.
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, descend!" Kaiba shouted. "As long as 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' is in the graveyard, 'Ultimate Dragon' is unaffected by any of my opponent's card effects!" [Original effect]
"Wow, that's so powerful!" exclaimed Judai. "Isn't that invincible?!"
Even Ryo couldn't help but be moved by the sight. "This is it... the ultimate dragon of Duel Monsters, possessed by Kaiba, the King of Games himself."
Yuu Xuan slightly raised his arm, shielding his eyes as he squinted at the massive white dragon bathed in holy light.
He could distinctly feel the immense power within the Ultimate Dragon's body—a force capable of destroying worlds and perhaps even rivaling the might of the gods.
Facing such a formidable monster and duelist, he couldn't help but smile.
Borrowing the words of Kaiba, he thought, Now this is more like it.
Whether it was an illusion or not, he felt the Seal Device tremble slightly again when the Ultimate Dragon made its entrance, radiating divine pressure.
The Eye of Horus, engraved upon the divine artifact, briefly flashed with a golden light.
"Tsk, still maintaining your composure even when faced with the ultimate dragon in its most powerful form, huh?" Kaiba sneered, slowly raising his hand.
"Then let's take it a step further. Embrace the power of destruction! Ultimate Union has an additional effect: depending on the number of 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' monsters used as Fusion Material for its Fusion Summon, destroy that many cards on the field!
Although that card has no effect on my 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon,' it's still an eyesore. Destroy 'Mirror of Light's Guidance'!"
A white-hot ball of light descended, shattering the Mirror of Light's Guidance on Yu Xuan's field into pieces.
"And now, a direct attack from the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
All three of the dragon's mouths opened wide, unleashing a strike that pierced the very heavens! A burst of white light, as hot as the core of the sun, weaved a massive pillar of light that split the entire sky in two.
"Yuu Xuan!" Judai couldn't help but worry for his friend.
Facing the Ultimate Dragon, unaffected by any card effects, could Yu Xuan withstand the attack?
"Trap Card activated, 'Half Counter,'" Yu Xuan declared. "When a monster I control is attacked, during damage calculation: increase the ATK and DEF of the attacked monster by half the ATK of the attacking monster.
Therefore, Magidorugaruda's ATK increases by half of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's ATK, which is 2250 points."
[Magidorugaruda: 1600 ATK → 3850 ATK]
The epic boost to Magidorugaruda was still insufficient to withstand the Ultimate Dragon's divine power. His sword and shield briefly held their ground before being blasted to smithereens, vanishing into ashes within the beam of light.
[Yuu Xuan: 2500 LP → 1850 LP]
"Heh, Half Counter, huh? That's indeed a powerful trap. It could've been one of the ways to take down my invincible Ultimate Dragon. What a shame you had to use it now," Kaiba sneered.
Yuu Xuan remained silent.
Indeed, if the attacked monster had an ATK of 2250 or higher, using Half Counter would have been enough to counter and defeat the seemingly invincible Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.
"This is the strongest power I possess together with my Blue-Eyes—the power we've attained. If you can take it down, then by all means, give it your best shot!" Kaiba challenged.
