Chapter 46: The Chaotic White Dragon
Chapter 46: The Chaotic White Dragon
The Three Blood Moon Tyrants confidently arranged their formations. Kaiba, with his arms folded, maintained a cold smirk throughout their display.
Then, with an upward tilt of his lips, he said, "Is that all you've got?"
The trio: "!"
Such arrogance, coupled with his increasingly mythical reputation in the dueling world, caused even their three-on-one advantage to seem inadequate.
"To be so self-satisfied with such a mediocre display—it hardly qualifies as a challenge. Let me show you what a true duelist is capable of. My turn, draw!"
Kaiba waved his hand, and the cards on the field flipped over.
"I activate my Trap Card—'No Entry!!' Change all monsters on the field to Defense Position!" Kaiba declared.
[Captain Cutting into Enemy Lines: ATK 1200 → DEF 400] x2
[Variable Machine Beast Cannoneer Dragon: ATK 3800 → DEF 2000]
[Aibatt, the Treebear: ATK 2800 → DEF 200]
Bartender and Mei: "He's turned all our monsters to Defense Position!"
Big Guy Aikawa: "Hmph, Aibatt's Defense is only 200. He's aiming for that weak point, huh?"
Ryouji: "But even in Defense Position, Captain Cutting into Enemy Lines' effect remains. As long as I have two of them on my field, you can't launch an attack on my side!"
But Kaiba paid them no heed.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' to draw two cards from my Deck."
Kaiba drew two cards, adding one to his hand and revealing the other along with another card from his hand.
"I activate the Continuous Spell, 'The Blue-Eyes Shine Upon Us'!"
A Spell Card appeared in his Magic and Trap Zone, shimmering with a golden aura.
"The first effect of this card allows me to activate it by revealing 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand."
The other card Kaiba revealed was indeed "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," which he explained.
"By revealing 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon,' I can Special Summon a monster from my hand.
Therefore, I Special Summon this monster from my hand! Descend in your radiant form—
—Level 8, Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon!"
A storm of white light swirled, and a sacred dragon with shimmering white wings rose into the air, its bone wings spreading to reveal countless sparkling light spots.
[Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon: ATK 2500]
"The effect of Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon—when this card is successfully Summoned or Special Summoned, banish a Spell or Trap Card on the field."
Kaiba pointed to Ryouji's face-down card.
"Banish that card."
A white whirlwind picked up the card, and just before it was banished to the dimensional vortex, it was recognizable as a Counter Trap, "Attack Negation."
[Attack Negation, Counter Trap
Effect: When an opponent's monster declares an attack, negate that attack and end the Battle Phase.]
"Hmph, so you dismantled my second insurance policy," Ryouji scoffed.
"The second effect of the Continuous Spell, 'The Blue-Eyes Shine Upon Us,'" Kaiba said coldly, "Once per turn, return one monster on your field to your hand, then you can Special Summon a 'Blue-Eyes' monster from your hand!"
He pointed to the shining white dragon on his field.
"I return 'Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon' from my field to my hand!"
The white spirit dragon transformed into a golden light and returned to his hand as a card.
"Then, I Special Summon the 'Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon' that I just returned to my hand! Descend once more, Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon!"
In less than a second, the white spirit dragon that had just returned to Kaiba's hand reappeared with a storm of radiant light!
[Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon: ATK 2500]
"You can do that?" Ryouji exclaimed, surprised. "You can Special Summon a monster that returned to your hand from the field?"
"Wait a second, before that," Mei interjected, thinking she had found a loophole, "Didn't you say that the effect of 'The Blue-Eyes Shine Upon Us' only allows you to Special Summon 'Blue-Eyes' monsters from your hand? But the monster you summoned is called 'Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon'!"
She suspected he was trying to bluff them.
But Kaiba proudly humphed, "Although 'Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon' doesn't have 'Blue-Eyes' in its name, it's still treated as a 'Blue-Eyes' monster!"
Trio: "."
There's definitely some underhanded trickery going on here!
God, although it's not written on the card, it can still be used like this...
You Xuan, who was watching the duel, was also left speechless. Of course, he didn't know if the Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon in this world was the same as in his past life, but if it followed the effect of the real card from his previous life, then Kaiba wasn't bluffing. The text on the card did state, "treated as a 'Blue-Eyes' card."
"The effect of Azure-Eyes Silver Dragon activates once again—when this card is Special Summoned, banish a Spell or Trap Card on the field.
You Xuan was once again left speechless. He realized that Blast Held by Tribute seemed to be the favorite Trap Card of anime characters in common situations, with a remarkably high appearance rate throughout the various generations of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. However, no amount of screen time could save it from its perpetually unsuccessful track record.
"Then I activate the Spell Card 'Advanced Draw,' sacrificing my Level 8 or higher monster on the field to draw two cards from my Deck."
Having fulfilled its mission of clearing the back row, the Spirit Dragon transformed into specks of light and dissipated, filling Kaiba's Deck with golden light. He proceeded to draw two cards.
"Then, I activate the Ritual Spell Card—'Chaos Form' from my hand! By offering 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand as a Ritual, let the Blue-Eyes evolve into a form of chaos!"
The ritual effect of Chaos Form appeared behind him, like a portal to some abyssal dimension. The body of the Light Dragon was swallowed by it, thrashing about with azure flashes. From within, a chaotic dragon clad in technological armor roared and flew out!
"Return once more to the abyss, chaotic dragon, and descend here! Ritual Summon—
—Level 8, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon: ATK 3000]
Yet another new disguise for the Blue-Eyes, its dragonic aura, touted as the strongest, left the trio almost unable to lift their heads, their souls shaken to the core.
"Another new form of the Blue-Eyes," Mei remarked, swallowing her saliva.
Ryouji's expression darkened as well. "Just how many bizarre forms of the Blue-Eyes does he have?"
"Then, I activate the Spell Card, 'Dragon's Shrine'!" Kaiba declared coldly. "Send one Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. If the monster sent is a Normal Monster, you can send another Dragon-Type monster to the Graveyard."
In one breath, he searched his Deck for two cards.
"Therefore, I send two Normal Monsters, 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my Deck to the Graveyard."
The trio immediately had a bad feeling about this. "There are now three Blue-Eyes in the Graveyard."
"Then, I activate the Spell Card, 'Dragon's Mirror' from my hand!"
Indeed, Kaiba raised the Spell Card in his hand.
"Exclude from play the Fusion Material Monsters in your Graveyard to Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster!
Therefore!"
Three cards burst out of the Graveyard in one go.
"I exclude from play the three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my Graveyard to Fusion Summon!
The strongest and most ultimate dragon in history, transcending the limits of time and space, descends now!
—Ultimate Dragon of True Blue-Eyes, Summon!!!"
The three white dragons disappeared into the fusion vortex, and amidst the black clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared. It was as if an ancient pillar of light had arrived, and within it, the dragon's bone wings spread open. The ultimate three-headed white dragon descended like a deity!
[True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon: ATK 4500]
You Xuan, watching from the front row, rested his chin on his hand as he observed the spectacle. He wondered if Kaiba only had one copy of "Ultimate Fusion," or perhaps he was considering that "Ultimate Fusion" only required one copy, and Dragon's Mirror could also be used to fuse other Dragon-Types since the Blue-Eyes was just a part of Kaiba's Deck.
The trio across from him was completely stunned.
"Two such powerful dragons in one turn."
"And he's dismantled all our back row defenses," Aikawa added through gritted teeth. "It looks like at least one of us won't make it through this turn."
"It's alright," Ryouji said, trying to calm his teammates. "Even if it's Kaiba Seto, there's no way he can take all three of us out in one turn. Whoever survives, make sure to hang on until the next turn."
"Are you sure you guys aren't missing something?" Kaiba smirked.
Trio: "?"
"All three of you won't even make it to the next turn!"
Trio: "?!"
What does he mean?
Could he be aiming for a triple kill? That's impossible!
For duelists of this era, OTK (One Turn Kill) in a regular one-on-one duel was already an impressive feat that would elicit admiration. The concept of a triple kill was so far-fetched that they wouldn't even dream of such a possibility.
Is he just bluffing?
"Battle Phase."
Kaiba raised his hand.
"First, 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon' attacks 'Aibatt, the Treebear'!"
The armored Blue-Eyes opened its mouth, its body glowing with blue light. The light stream charged along its armor and flowed into its mouth, with thunder and lightning surging all around.
"At this moment, the effect of 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon' activates!" Kaiba proclaimed. "When a Chaos Dragon summoned by using 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' as a Ritual Material declares an attack: Change all monsters your opponent controls to face-up Defense Position, and their ATK and DEF become 0!"
This declaration was like a bolt from the blue, leaving the trio completely dazed.
[Variable Machine Beast Cannoneer Dragon: DEF 2000 → ATK 0]
[Aibatt, the Treebear: DEF 200 → ATK 0]
The overwhelming pressure of the Dragon Ruler left the trio's monsters helpless to resist, as all their beasts stood up, bowed their heads, and obediently stood in line to take their beating.
It was then that the trio suddenly realized the true intention behind the Trap Card "No Entry!!", which had been played earlier.
By changing all their monsters to Defense Position, Kaiba could then activate the effect of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon and switch them all back to Attack Position, but with their Attack and Defense values reduced to zero, turning them into helpless targets!
Ryouji's face twisted in fear as he grasped the extent of Kaiba's strategy: "He's thought this through to such a degree?"
The bursting light bullet ruthlessly pierced through Aibatt, the Treebear's body, tearing through its massive chest in a display of overwhelming force. The poor giant beast was instantly annihilated.
"Ahh!" Big Guy Aikawa cried out in pain.
[Big Guy Aikawa: LP 4000 → LP 1000]
"Next, it's the direct attack from the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Kaiba shouted. "Be crushed under the absolute oppressive radiance of the strongest dragon! Ultimate Burst Hurricane!"
The Ultimate Dragon fired a blast of white light from its mouth, and the oppressive light stream sent Aikawa flying, slamming him into the wall behind with such force that he formed the shape of a large letter as he embedded himself into it, almost as if he were performing some sort of art piece.
[Big Guy Aikawa: LP 1000 → LP 0]
The remaining two duelists, Mei and Ryouji, were petrified, their hearts pounding in their chests as they dared not breathe, much like players of a horror game hiding under a bed, terrified of being discovered by the big boss.
However, their attempts at hiding were futile.
"And now, it's your turn." Kaiba's cold gaze shifted to the female bartender.
Mei and the bartender trembled, taking a step back. "Wait a second! Calm down! Your two monsters have already attacked, so you can't—"
"The True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, when 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' exists in my Extra Deck, allows this card to attack three times per turn during a Duel, but only once!" Kaiba interrupted. (Anime effect)
Mei and Ryouji's faces turned deathly pale.
How could this dragon be so overpowered and still be able to attack three times?
Why don't you just print a "Light Creation Ultimate Dragon" with the effect "Game victory upon successful summon"?
However, You Xuan recalled that in the anime, the True Ultimate Dragon could indeed attack three times in one turn, but after using this effect, it would self-destruct at the end of the Battle Phase.
Of course, these three probably wouldn't last that long anyway.
"Ultimate Burst Hurricane, second shot!" Kaiba shouted. "Attack the Variable Machine Beast Cannoneer Dragon!"
The 4500-point output pierced through the Cannoneer Dragon in one go. With its Attack Power already reduced to zero, the Cannoneer Dragon couldn't withstand the blow for its master, and it was blown away along with its controller, accompanied by a long, piercing scream from the woman.
[Mei: LP 4000 → LP 0]
Kaiba folded his arms across his chest, his gaze slowly moving to the last duelist standing, Ryouji Yamaguchi.
Ryouji took a step back as Kaiba's gaze fell upon him, feeling as if he were being stared down by the Grim Reaper himself. His body trembled involuntarily, and he stammered, "Y-You, calm down! Although the Attack Power of my 'Captain Cutting into Enemy Lines' has been reduced to zero, its effect still remains!
As long as I have two of them on my field, blocking your attacks, you still can't—"
"Boring." Kaiba nonchalantly flipped the last backrow card he had set during the previous turn.
"Trap Card—Skill Drain," Kaiba stated calmly. "Negate the effects of one Effect Monster your opponent controls. Therefore, I choose to negate one of the 'Captain Cutting into Enemy Lines' on your field."
"What?! No way!"
Ryouji's face turned as white as a sheet, and he stood there, frozen in shock.
"So, the attack restriction is lifted, and the only monster with a mocking effect on your field is now just one 'Captain Cutting into Enemy Lines.' It's simple, then; I'll just start with that one."
Kaiba raised his hand.
"Ultimate Burst Hurricane, triple strike! Attack 'Captain Cutting into Enemy Lines'!"
The Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon opened its jaws once more, unleashing a torrent of white light. The hapless captain, with its Attack Power reduced to zero, was instantly obliterated by the intense light, disintegrating into particles.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
[Ryouji: LP 4000 → LP 0]
