Chapter 990: The Ultimate Resistance
Chapter 990: The Ultimate Resistance
"Vanish, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" The Evil God roared with laughter. Kaiba Seto grit his teeth and reluctantly picked up the Ultimate Dragon card from the Duel Disk, sending it to the Graveyard.
The overwhelming darkness of the Root of Fear erupted, instantly engulfing the Ultimate Dragon. The dragon roared in defiance, but even with its absolute resistance, it couldn't withstand the evolved divine power and was helplessly dragged into the abyss, disappearing without a trace.
"The battle continues!" declared the Evil God. "Now your field is empty! Root of Fear's direct attack!"
The Evil God's roar was like a thunderous laugh. Bone-like armor covered its arm, forming a fist that slammed down with explosive force. The punch carried the might of a thunderclap, accompanied by a deafening blast and endless darkness.
Boom!
The Evil God lowered its arm, seemingly confident that the Duel was over. It smirked and said, "As a diversion, it wasn't bad. But against an evolved god, even you, Kaiba Seto, are..."
However, halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized something was amiss.
"Hmm?"
The darkness dissipated, and in the center of the impact, Kaiba Seto stood unsteadily, gasping for breath but determined to stay on his feet. His body was smoking, but his eyes remained steadfast.
The Evil God was perplexed, "How is this possible? You should have been hit directly."
But as his gaze swept across, he immediately noticed the Trap Card opened behind Kaiba.
Trap Card - Super Energy Booster.
When you would take battle damage of 2000 or more, you can activate this card to instantly recover 4000 Life Points, making it a super potion for boosting stamina.
The attack power of the evolved Evil God of the Root of Fear reached 5000 points. Kaiba's Life Points recovered to 6250 just before taking the direct attack, allowing him to withstand the blow.
[Kaiba, LP 1250]
Kaiba steadied himself and caught his breath, then proudly declared, "Is that all?"
The Evil God's anger flared, "This guy!"
Despite his annoyance, the Evil God had to acknowledge Kaiba's resilience. Although Kaiba had recovered a significant amount of health and endured the attack damage, it was still a full-power strike from the evolved Evil God. The impact itself was withstood by Kaiba.
The Evil God of the Root of Fear, after its evolution, was originally intended to match the Winged Dragon of Ra. Now, with its elevated rank, it had become equivalent to the Winged Dragon of Ra.
In the Duel City arc, when Malik summoned the Winged Dragon of Ra with zero attack power, Yami Yugi's direct attack didn't cause any substantial damage due to Duel rules. However, the burning power of the Phoenix still caused Jounouchi to lose consciousness.
The evolved Root of Fear, now on par with the Winged Dragon of Ra, should have had a similar impact. Moreover, the Root of Fear wasn't a zero-attack monster; it inflicted 5000 points of damage in one blow. Even if the rules didn't allow for a kill, it should have been enough to shatter any human's mind and will, turning them into a vegetable.
Yet, Kaiba Seto only stumbled for a moment before quickly regaining his composure, standing tall like an unyielding bamboo shoot.
The Evil God thought, "After all, he's the reincarnation of a priest. There's something special about him."
But it was nothing more than a minor inconvenience. The Evil God still didn't consider Kaiba a significant threat.
"Finally, I activate the Spell Card 'Nibelheim's Treasury.' During the turn when an Advanced Summon is performed, draw two cards, but these cards cannot be used. If possible, at least one card must be Set face-down." (Original card)
The Evil God drew two cards.
"Set one card. End my turn."
Kaiba declared, "My turn, draw!
I activate the Spell Card 'Jar of Greed'! Draw cards from your Deck until you have five cards in your hand, but during the fifth turn's Standby Phase, you must discard your entire hand."
The Evil God replied, "No matter how many cards you have, they are useless against an evolved god!"
Kaiba ignored him and continued, "I activate the Spell Card 'Super Sale.' Discard a Level 8 monster from your hand to the Graveyard, then draw two cards from your Deck!"
Kaiba revealed the cards in his hand.
"Discard a Blue Eyes White Dragon from your hand and draw two cards!"
He had previously fused two Blue Eyes and a Cyberather Dragon as a substitute for the Blue Eyes. This was the last Blue Eyes White Dragon left in his deck.
"Next, I activate the Magic Card Angel's Favor, draw three cards, and discard two cards from my hand."
Kaiba looked up and declared, "God's Evolution. It seems that in these ten years, you haven't been completely stagnant. But my evolution with Blue Eyes surpasses even that, and not even a god can stop us!"
"I activate the Magic Card Dead Rebirth! Return once more from the graveyard—
—True Cyan-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
A white light burst forth, like a blazing sun. The sphere of light quickly blossomed, and once again, the three-headed divine dragon descended!
【True Cyan-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Attack Power 4500】
The Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear showed no concern, merely laughing, "Welcome back, Ultimate Dragon. Well, even if you return now, it's already too late."
At this point, his Root of Fear had evolved to an attack power of 5000, equivalent to the formidable strength of the Five Emperors Dragon. Although his awe-inspiring effect was nullified against the Ultimate Dragon, the Ultimate Dragon's attack power was also unaffected.
"I sacrifice the Ultimate Dragon!" Kaiba shouted.
Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear: "!"
The Ultimate Dragon, which possessed absolute resistance, should have been the pinnacle of Blue Eyes' evolution. Yet, this Ultimate Dragon was to be offered as a sacrifice?
"From the summoning beyond the Ultimate Monster, a dragon of light that erases everything! Appear—
—The Light Dragon!!"
Kaiba's ultimate ace, the Light Dragon, surpassed even the Ultimate Dragon. The Ultimate Dragon's body quickly solidified, not moving an inch, like a crystal sculpture. Then, cracks rapidly spread across the crystal, emitting a crisp cracking sound.
The crystal shattered, and from within, a dazzling light shot forth. It was as if a soul that transcended three thousand years of time and space emerged from the broken shell, soaring into the sky and unfolding its brilliant wings, shining like the sun.
Summon the Light Dragon!
【Light Dragon, Attack Power 3000】
Looking up at the dazzling Light Dragon in the sky, even the Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear couldn't help but pale.
"Light Dragon? What's going on with this monster?"
Even the Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear felt an astonishing and extraordinary power within this monster.
It even gave him the illusion of gazing directly at another god! Could the evolution of the Blue Eyes White Dragon's spirit truly rival that of a god?
"Battle!" Kaiba shouted sternly, "Light Dragon, attack the Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear!"
The Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear was startled: "You're attacking even though your attack power is lower."
"Lower attack power?" Kaiba scoffed, "The Light Dragon's monster effect. This card can increase its attack power by 300 points for each Dragon-Type monster in my graveyard!"
The Light Dragon had no shortage of attack power!
"There are eight Dragon-Type monsters in my graveyard!" Kaiba declared, "The Light Dragon's attack power increases by 2400!"
【Light Dragon, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 5400】
Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear: "It's actually higher than my evolved attack power.
But! In front of the Root of Fear, all monster attack power is halved!
Fear's Awe!"
The formidable awe-inspiring power erupted once more. Under the Root of Fear's awe, theoretically, only an attack power exceeding 10,000 could defeat it head-on! However...
"Charge!" Kaiba shouted, "The Light Dragon's effect! Any effect that involves influencing the Light Dragon can be freely chosen by the controller to accept or not accept!
I choose not to accept the effect of the Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear!"
Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear: "!"
There was still such an operation!
