# Chapter 909: 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 Isn't Just for Show
"Enter my Battle Phase! 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】, attack Dark Magician!"
"Hyper Burst Stream!"
Although its effect was negated, and the negation effect of 【Chaos Sorcerer】 was the same type as 【Blue-Eyes Steel Armor Dragon】's, a permanent negation that lasts as long as it's on the Field, even with its effect erased, 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 was still invincible in this world!
Its three dragon heads simultaneously opened their mouths, each gathering and brewing an Orb of Light within. As Kaiba waved his hand forward, 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 violently spat out the Energy Balls from its mouths, converging them into a surging Flood of Light!
Although Dark Magician had one of the highest ATK and DEF among Spellcaster-Type Normal Monsters, it was still no match for 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】. It was instantly annihilated and Destroyed by its single strike!
"Boom!"
Dark Magician's figure shattered and was Sent to the Graveyard. Atem also raised his hand to shield himself from the strong wind rushing towards him. Fortunately, he had Special Summoned Dark Magician in Defense Position earlier. Otherwise, if he had taken that hit in Attack Position, his LP would have been reduced by 2000 Points, a full half.
"Sorry, Mahad. You protected me again. Rest in the Graveyard for a bit." Glancing at Dark Magician Sent to the Graveyard, Atem's gaze shifted to the Card on the Top of the Deck. "I'll bring you back soon."
Watching the aftermath of 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's attack sweep past Atem, who was protected by Dark Magician, and across the water surface all the way to the distant shore, Kaiba proudly raised his head and said to Yugi, "See, Yugi? I could hit the opposite shore long ago!"
Setting the remaining two Cards in his Hand, Kaiba Declared, "Set two Cards. My Turn ends here."
"Standing with 【Blue-Eyes】, I am invincible. Can you cross the Trial of 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】?"
【Kaiba Seto】: 4000 LP, Hand: 0】
【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】【ATK 4500】
【Set Card】【Set Card】
"A Trial? That's a pity, Kaiba. I have no intention of losing to you." Looking up at Kaiba across from him, Atem smiled slightly. "You are confident that you are invincible when standing with 【Blue-Eyes】, but aren't I the same? Fighting alongside Dark Magician and his companions, I can defeat all powerful enemies!"
"My Turn, Draw!"
Drawing a Card from the Top of the Deck, Atem wasn't in a hurry to use that Card. Instead, he revealed Chaos Illusion Magician again, which had returned to his Hand by its own Effect last Turn: "Chaos Illusion Magician's Effect Activation! Reveal this Card from my Hand to my Opponent. I Add to Hand one Dark Magician or a Monster with 'Dark Magician' in its Card Name from my Deck, except a Ritual Monster, and then Return one Card from my Hand to the Top of the Deck."
Searching for a Card from his Deck, Atem put Chaos Illusion Magician back on the Top of the Deck and played the Card he had just Added to Hand: "Next, I Activate the Effect of this Magicians' Souls I searched! If this Card is in my Hand, I can Send one Level 6☆ or higher Spellcaster-Type Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard and Activate one of its Effects!"
"I use its second Effect! I Send Magicians' Souls to the Graveyard and Special Summon one Dark Magician from my Graveyard!" Sending the Card in his Hand to the Graveyard, Atem raised his hand and called out, "Revive, my most loyal Servant, Dark Magician!"
Behind Atem, the figures of the Three Thousand Years Ago guardian Priests, Mahad and Mana, flickered into existence. They simultaneously raised the Wands in their hands and pointed towards the Field. Under the Summoning of pure and sacred Mystical Power, Dark Magician, which had been Destroyed by 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 earlier, returned to the Field.
Dark Magician
"Huh? In Attack Position?" Kaiba glanced at the Dark Magician Atem had Summoned again and gave a cold snort. "You want to Attack with Dark Magician? Use a Dark Magician with 2500 ATK to Attack my invincible 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】?"
"No, with 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's ATK, most people's Ace Cards fundamentally cannot surpass this level of Power. I am also aware of Dark Magician's own limit." Atem paused, then played the Card in his Hand. "However, Dark Magician's Strength has never been in mere Power. The Bonds that connect us and the wisdom of Magic are his outstanding qualities!"
"I Activate the Spell Card Graceful Charity! Both Players Draw Cards from their Decks until they have 6 Cards in Hand. Since I have no Hand, I can Draw six Cards. The same goes for you, Kaiba!"
As he spoke, Atem quickly Drew six Cards from the Top of the Deck, replenishing a large amount of Hand in one go.
"Don't need you to tell me that." Drawing six Cards as well, Kaiba looked seriously at the Cards in Atem's Hand. "With so many Cards added to your Hand, your Dark Magician is about to start using Magic, isn't it?"
Only to see Atem Draw a Card from his Hand and play it, pointing his hand towards Kaiba's 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 on the Field: "Normal Spell Card Thousand Knives! If I have Dark Magician on my Field, I can Activate this Card by Targeting one Monster on my Opponent's Field. Destroy that Opponent's Monster."
"The Monster I choose is none other than your 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】, Kaiba!"
As Atem Activated Thousand Knives, the Dark Magician on his Field also waved its Wand. Countless small knives appeared out of thin air beside it, floating and pointing towards Kaiba's 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 on the Field.
"No wonder The Other Yugi... Atem specifically Revived Dark Magician." Bakura, who still hadn't quite remembered Atem's Name, suddenly realized. "Even a 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 with a high ATK of 4500 Points is just a Monster that can be Defeated by a single Spell Card if it doesn't have Destruction Resistance."
Keipei heard this and ranted, "Isn't the Key Point how Brother Hayato, Atem, Brother, and even Joey Wheeler, one by one, know what Cards they're going to Draw next? No, I'm too lazy to rant about this anymore. It's probably that 'True Duelist' saying again anyway."
Hayato rubbed Keipei's Head and said with a smile, "That's why you still don't understand Duel Monsters enough. Speaking of which, the planning for Duel Academy is already underway, right? Do you want to go to Duel Academy later? After all, running a business related to Duel Monsters without understanding Duel Monsters is unacceptable, Thomas."
"Am I some kind of little train? It's Keipei!"
"Thousand Knives... Hmph! You want to use this Card to Destroy my 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】, Yugi!"
Looking at the dense rain of knives, Kaiba said calmly, while Atem responded ambiguously, "Yeah, who can say for sure if Thousand Knives is what I'm relying on to Destroy your 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】? However, if you don't use your Set Cards, 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 will be Destroyed, Kaiba."
"Do you have enough Set Cards in reserve?"
With a wave of his hand, under Atem's command, Dark Magician controlling Thousand Knives shot towards 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】. Seeing this, Kaiba opened his Set Card in the Spell/Trap Zone without hesitation: "Don't even dream of it, Yugi! 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 isn't just for show! A mere Thousand Knives? Watch me push it back!"
"Chain Thousand Knives! I open my Set Card, Normal Trap Card 【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】 Activate!"
Facing the dense rain of knives, the 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 on Kaiba's Field took a deep breath, then roared violently. The surging air current even stirred the Power of Light within its Body, transforming into tangible lightning that existed in the Outside World, wrapped around 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's Body and crushing all of Thousand Knives!?
"Roar!" X3
The roar that echoed through the sky forced the surrounding watchers to cover their ears, wishing they could put in earplugs to gain immunity to the roar. After 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's roar stopped, Kaiba proudly explained:
"【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】 requires me to Target one 【Blue-Eyes】 on my Field to Activate. This Turn, a 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 in Face-up Position will not be affected by Card Effects other than its own! Your Thousand Knives is completely useless against 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】!"
Although Kaiba had an arrogance attitude, he deliberately concealed part of 【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】's Effect, because he didn't think Atem was the type of person who would put all his hope on one way to break through the situation. He must have other ways to break through if Thousand Knives didn't succeed.
And at that time, the Effect of 【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】 that he had concealed would definitely give him a big surprise.
"As expected, it's not that simple to take down 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】. After all, just like my Bond with Dark Magician, you and 【Blue-Eyes】 also have a strong Bond." Atem saw that Thousand Knives didn't succeed and wasn't too surprised. After all, it wasn't like he hadn't noticed the two Set Cards in Kaiba's Spell/Trap Zone.
The Card Thousand Knives was just a test. However, if Kaiba really couldn't block it during the test, it would become a real Finishing Move.
"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this Turn yet. I Normal Summon Dimension Conjurer from my Hand."
Playing a Card from his Hand, a Monster appeared on Atem's Field. But the appearance of this Monster caused almost everyone present to simultaneously turn their gaze towards Honda. The spiky hairstyle on Dimension Conjurer's head, which was exactly the same as Honda's, even gave people the feeling that Honda himself had walked onto the Field.
"Hey, Honda, is that you?"
The outspoken Joey Wheeler even said it directly. A "💢" mark appeared on Honda's Head, and he said angrily, "No, it's not! How could it be me? It's just a coincidence!"
"But it's too similar! And how did you turn into a Duel Monsters Card, hahaha!" "You guy, isn't your face also printed on your 【Red-Eyes King Armor】!"
The two best friends seemed about to start fighting again as they talked. Hayato and Marik quickly pulled them apart, one on each side, allowing everyone to continue watching the Duel.
Kaiba also noticed the similarity between Dimension Conjurer and Honda. Even he couldn't help but rant, "What kind of strange Card is this, Yugi?"
"Duelist Matters, you don't need to understand too clearly." Atem also scratched his Head, saying somewhat awkwardly, but still pointed at the Dimension Conjurer on his Field. "Although its image is coincidentally similar to Honda, Dimension Conjurer is a Magician who uses Dimension Magic."
Dimension Conjurer
Spellcaster-Type/Effect
"When this Card is Summoned/Special Summoned, I can Add to Hand one Dimension Magic from my Deck or Graveyard, and then Activate it." Taking the Card from his Deck and inserting it into the Spell & Trap Zone, Atem waved his hand. "Dimension Magic can be Activated by Targeting one Monster on my Field if I have a Spellcaster-Type Monster on my Field."
"I Target Dimension Conjurer on my Field, Tribute it, then Special Summon one Spellcaster-Type Monster from my Hand, and after that, I can choose to Destroy one Monster on the Field. I choose not to use this Effect."
"The Monster I Special Summon from my Hand is this Card, Dark Magician of Chaos!"
Under the influence of Dimension Power, mastering the Chaos Power that blends Light and Dark Power, Dark Magician exchanged his Mage Robe for tight leather clothing, or rather, Dark Magician of Chaos Descended.
Dark Magician of Chaos
Spellcaster-Type/Effect
After Special Summoning Dark Magician of Chaos, Atem held up the Dimension Conjurer that was Sent to the Graveyard and showed it: "Because it was Tributed by Dimension Magic, Dimension Conjurer's Effect Activates! If this Card is Sent to the Graveyard from the Monster Zone, I Draw Cards from the Top of Deck equal to the Number of Spellcaster-Type Monsters on my Field, and then Return the same Number of Cards from my Hand to the Top of Deck in any order."
"I have four Monsters on my Field: Magician's Rod, Dark Magician Girl, Dark Magician, and Dark Magician of Chaos. So I can Draw four Cards and Return four Cards from my Hand."
"And Dark Magician of Chaos's Effect! When it is Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, I can choose one Spell Card from my Graveyard and Add it to my Hand."
Returning the Cards in his Hand, including the temporarily useless Chaos Illusion Magician, to his Deck, and taking a Card from his Graveyard, Atem looked up at Kaiba: "Now, the Puzzle of Victory is complete, Kaiba!"
"Activate Spell Card, Dark Magic Twin Burst! Target one Dark Magician on my Field. Its ATK increases by the Total Value of the ATK of Dark Magician Girl on Both Fields and Graveyards."
"Gathered Bonds can subdue even the giant dragons soaring in the sky!"
As Atem Activated the Card, the Dark Magician Girl on his Field extended her Wand towards Dark Magician, pouring her Mystical Power into Dark Magician's Body. With double the Mystical Power gathered in one Monster, Dark Magician's Power surged, almost difficult to restrain, causing its skirt to flutter without wind!
Dark Magician Girl
Dark Magician
Dark Magician's ATK had reached a level comparable to 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's, and Atem resolutely Declared, "Enter Battle Phase!"
"Dark Magician, Attack 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】!"
As if responding to Kaiba's Attack last Turn, Atem chose to Battle 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 with Dark Magician, whose ATK was currently equal!?
Looking back, I saw someone commenting while watching the Millennium World arc that Shada's awakened spirit being Ankh Kuriboh felt a bit out of place, not something that would exist in that era.
The issue is, I arranged it this way based on the Ankh Kuriboh in the card art of 【Guardian Priest - Mana】. However, if you say Ankh Kuriboh isn't Shada's but Mana's, I can accept that opinion.
(End of Chapter)
"Enter my Battle Phase! 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】, attack Dark Magician!"
"Hyper Burst Stream!"
Although its effect was negated, and the negation effect of 【Chaos Sorcerer】 was the same type as 【Blue-Eyes Steel Armor Dragon】's, a permanent negation that lasts as long as it's on the Field, even with its effect erased, 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 was still invincible in this world!
Its three dragon heads simultaneously opened their mouths, each gathering and brewing an Orb of Light within. As Kaiba waved his hand forward, 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 violently spat out the Energy Balls from its mouths, converging them into a surging Flood of Light!
Although Dark Magician had one of the highest ATK and DEF among Spellcaster-Type Normal Monsters, it was still no match for 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】. It was instantly annihilated and Destroyed by its single strike!
"Boom!"
Dark Magician's figure shattered and was Sent to the Graveyard. Atem also raised his hand to shield himself from the strong wind rushing towards him. Fortunately, he had Special Summoned Dark Magician in Defense Position earlier. Otherwise, if he had taken that hit in Attack Position, his LP would have been reduced by 2000 Points, a full half.
"Sorry, Mahad. You protected me again. Rest in the Graveyard for a bit." Glancing at Dark Magician Sent to the Graveyard, Atem's gaze shifted to the Card on the Top of the Deck. "I'll bring you back soon."
Watching the aftermath of 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's attack sweep past Atem, who was protected by Dark Magician, and across the water surface all the way to the distant shore, Kaiba proudly raised his head and said to Yugi, "See, Yugi? I could hit the opposite shore long ago!"
Setting the remaining two Cards in his Hand, Kaiba Declared, "Set two Cards. My Turn ends here."
"Standing with 【Blue-Eyes】, I am invincible. Can you cross the Trial of 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】?"
【Kaiba Seto】: 4000 LP, Hand: 0】
【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】【ATK 4500】
【Set Card】【Set Card】
"A Trial? That's a pity, Kaiba. I have no intention of losing to you." Looking up at Kaiba across from him, Atem smiled slightly. "You are confident that you are invincible when standing with 【Blue-Eyes】, but aren't I the same? Fighting alongside Dark Magician and his companions, I can defeat all powerful enemies!"
"My Turn, Draw!"
Drawing a Card from the Top of the Deck, Atem wasn't in a hurry to use that Card. Instead, he revealed Chaos Illusion Magician again, which had returned to his Hand by its own Effect last Turn: "Chaos Illusion Magician's Effect Activation! Reveal this Card from my Hand to my Opponent. I Add to Hand one Dark Magician or a Monster with 'Dark Magician' in its Card Name from my Deck, except a Ritual Monster, and then Return one Card from my Hand to the Top of the Deck."
Searching for a Card from his Deck, Atem put Chaos Illusion Magician back on the Top of the Deck and played the Card he had just Added to Hand: "Next, I Activate the Effect of this Magicians' Souls I searched! If this Card is in my Hand, I can Send one Level 6☆ or higher Spellcaster-Type Monster from my Deck to the Graveyard and Activate one of its Effects!"
"I use its second Effect! I Send Magicians' Souls to the Graveyard and Special Summon one Dark Magician from my Graveyard!" Sending the Card in his Hand to the Graveyard, Atem raised his hand and called out, "Revive, my most loyal Servant, Dark Magician!"
Behind Atem, the figures of the Three Thousand Years Ago guardian Priests, Mahad and Mana, flickered into existence. They simultaneously raised the Wands in their hands and pointed towards the Field. Under the Summoning of pure and sacred Mystical Power, Dark Magician, which had been Destroyed by 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 earlier, returned to the Field.
Dark Magician
"Huh? In Attack Position?" Kaiba glanced at the Dark Magician Atem had Summoned again and gave a cold snort. "You want to Attack with Dark Magician? Use a Dark Magician with 2500 ATK to Attack my invincible 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】?"
"No, with 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's ATK, most people's Ace Cards fundamentally cannot surpass this level of Power. I am also aware of Dark Magician's own limit." Atem paused, then played the Card in his Hand. "However, Dark Magician's Strength has never been in mere Power. The Bonds that connect us and the wisdom of Magic are his outstanding qualities!"
"I Activate the Spell Card Graceful Charity! Both Players Draw Cards from their Decks until they have 6 Cards in Hand. Since I have no Hand, I can Draw six Cards. The same goes for you, Kaiba!"
As he spoke, Atem quickly Drew six Cards from the Top of the Deck, replenishing a large amount of Hand in one go.
"Don't need you to tell me that." Drawing six Cards as well, Kaiba looked seriously at the Cards in Atem's Hand. "With so many Cards added to your Hand, your Dark Magician is about to start using Magic, isn't it?"
Only to see Atem Draw a Card from his Hand and play it, pointing his hand towards Kaiba's 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 on the Field: "Normal Spell Card Thousand Knives! If I have Dark Magician on my Field, I can Activate this Card by Targeting one Monster on my Opponent's Field. Destroy that Opponent's Monster."
"The Monster I choose is none other than your 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】, Kaiba!"
As Atem Activated Thousand Knives, the Dark Magician on his Field also waved its Wand. Countless small knives appeared out of thin air beside it, floating and pointing towards Kaiba's 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 on the Field.
"No wonder The Other Yugi... Atem specifically Revived Dark Magician." Bakura, who still hadn't quite remembered Atem's Name, suddenly realized. "Even a 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 with a high ATK of 4500 Points is just a Monster that can be Defeated by a single Spell Card if it doesn't have Destruction Resistance."
Keipei heard this and ranted, "Isn't the Key Point how Brother Hayato, Atem, Brother, and even Joey Wheeler, one by one, know what Cards they're going to Draw next? No, I'm too lazy to rant about this anymore. It's probably that 'True Duelist' saying again anyway."
Hayato rubbed Keipei's Head and said with a smile, "That's why you still don't understand Duel Monsters enough. Speaking of which, the planning for Duel Academy is already underway, right? Do you want to go to Duel Academy later? After all, running a business related to Duel Monsters without understanding Duel Monsters is unacceptable, Thomas."
"Am I some kind of little train? It's Keipei!"
"Thousand Knives... Hmph! You want to use this Card to Destroy my 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】, Yugi!"
Looking at the dense rain of knives, Kaiba said calmly, while Atem responded ambiguously, "Yeah, who can say for sure if Thousand Knives is what I'm relying on to Destroy your 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】? However, if you don't use your Set Cards, 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 will be Destroyed, Kaiba."
"Do you have enough Set Cards in reserve?"
With a wave of his hand, under Atem's command, Dark Magician controlling Thousand Knives shot towards 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】. Seeing this, Kaiba opened his Set Card in the Spell/Trap Zone without hesitation: "Don't even dream of it, Yugi! 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 isn't just for show! A mere Thousand Knives? Watch me push it back!"
"Chain Thousand Knives! I open my Set Card, Normal Trap Card 【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】 Activate!"
Facing the dense rain of knives, the 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 on Kaiba's Field took a deep breath, then roared violently. The surging air current even stirred the Power of Light within its Body, transforming into tangible lightning that existed in the Outside World, wrapped around 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's Body and crushing all of Thousand Knives!?
"Roar!" X3
The roar that echoed through the sky forced the surrounding watchers to cover their ears, wishing they could put in earplugs to gain immunity to the roar. After 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's roar stopped, Kaiba proudly explained:
"【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】 requires me to Target one 【Blue-Eyes】 on my Field to Activate. This Turn, a 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 in Face-up Position will not be affected by Card Effects other than its own! Your Thousand Knives is completely useless against 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】!"
Although Kaiba had an arrogance attitude, he deliberately concealed part of 【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】's Effect, because he didn't think Atem was the type of person who would put all his hope on one way to break through the situation. He must have other ways to break through if Thousand Knives didn't succeed.
And at that time, the Effect of 【Strong! Invincible! Ultimate!】 that he had concealed would definitely give him a big surprise.
"As expected, it's not that simple to take down 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】. After all, just like my Bond with Dark Magician, you and 【Blue-Eyes】 also have a strong Bond." Atem saw that Thousand Knives didn't succeed and wasn't too surprised. After all, it wasn't like he hadn't noticed the two Set Cards in Kaiba's Spell/Trap Zone.
The Card Thousand Knives was just a test. However, if Kaiba really couldn't block it during the test, it would become a real Finishing Move.
"I haven't performed a Normal Summon this Turn yet. I Normal Summon Dimension Conjurer from my Hand."
Playing a Card from his Hand, a Monster appeared on Atem's Field. But the appearance of this Monster caused almost everyone present to simultaneously turn their gaze towards Honda. The spiky hairstyle on Dimension Conjurer's head, which was exactly the same as Honda's, even gave people the feeling that Honda himself had walked onto the Field.
"Hey, Honda, is that you?"
The outspoken Joey Wheeler even said it directly. A "💢" mark appeared on Honda's Head, and he said angrily, "No, it's not! How could it be me? It's just a coincidence!"
"But it's too similar! And how did you turn into a Duel Monsters Card, hahaha!" "You guy, isn't your face also printed on your 【Red-Eyes King Armor】!"
The two best friends seemed about to start fighting again as they talked. Hayato and Marik quickly pulled them apart, one on each side, allowing everyone to continue watching the Duel.
Kaiba also noticed the similarity between Dimension Conjurer and Honda. Even he couldn't help but rant, "What kind of strange Card is this, Yugi?"
"Duelist Matters, you don't need to understand too clearly." Atem also scratched his Head, saying somewhat awkwardly, but still pointed at the Dimension Conjurer on his Field. "Although its image is coincidentally similar to Honda, Dimension Conjurer is a Magician who uses Dimension Magic."
Dimension Conjurer
Spellcaster-Type/Effect
"When this Card is Summoned/Special Summoned, I can Add to Hand one Dimension Magic from my Deck or Graveyard, and then Activate it." Taking the Card from his Deck and inserting it into the Spell & Trap Zone, Atem waved his hand. "Dimension Magic can be Activated by Targeting one Monster on my Field if I have a Spellcaster-Type Monster on my Field."
"I Target Dimension Conjurer on my Field, Tribute it, then Special Summon one Spellcaster-Type Monster from my Hand, and after that, I can choose to Destroy one Monster on the Field. I choose not to use this Effect."
"The Monster I Special Summon from my Hand is this Card, Dark Magician of Chaos!"
Under the influence of Dimension Power, mastering the Chaos Power that blends Light and Dark Power, Dark Magician exchanged his Mage Robe for tight leather clothing, or rather, Dark Magician of Chaos Descended.
Dark Magician of Chaos
Spellcaster-Type/Effect
After Special Summoning Dark Magician of Chaos, Atem held up the Dimension Conjurer that was Sent to the Graveyard and showed it: "Because it was Tributed by Dimension Magic, Dimension Conjurer's Effect Activates! If this Card is Sent to the Graveyard from the Monster Zone, I Draw Cards from the Top of Deck equal to the Number of Spellcaster-Type Monsters on my Field, and then Return the same Number of Cards from my Hand to the Top of Deck in any order."
"I have four Monsters on my Field: Magician's Rod, Dark Magician Girl, Dark Magician, and Dark Magician of Chaos. So I can Draw four Cards and Return four Cards from my Hand."
"And Dark Magician of Chaos's Effect! When it is Summoned or Special Summoned successfully, I can choose one Spell Card from my Graveyard and Add it to my Hand."
Returning the Cards in his Hand, including the temporarily useless Chaos Illusion Magician, to his Deck, and taking a Card from his Graveyard, Atem looked up at Kaiba: "Now, the Puzzle of Victory is complete, Kaiba!"
"Activate Spell Card, Dark Magic Twin Burst! Target one Dark Magician on my Field. Its ATK increases by the Total Value of the ATK of Dark Magician Girl on Both Fields and Graveyards."
"Gathered Bonds can subdue even the giant dragons soaring in the sky!"
As Atem Activated the Card, the Dark Magician Girl on his Field extended her Wand towards Dark Magician, pouring her Mystical Power into Dark Magician's Body. With double the Mystical Power gathered in one Monster, Dark Magician's Power surged, almost difficult to restrain, causing its skirt to flutter without wind!
Dark Magician Girl
Dark Magician
Dark Magician's ATK had reached a level comparable to 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】's, and Atem resolutely Declared, "Enter Battle Phase!"
"Dark Magician, Attack 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】!"
As if responding to Kaiba's Attack last Turn, Atem chose to Battle 【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】 with Dark Magician, whose ATK was currently equal!?
Looking back, I saw someone commenting while watching the Millennium World arc that Shada's awakened spirit being Ankh Kuriboh felt a bit out of place, not something that would exist in that era.
The issue is, I arranged it this way based on the Ankh Kuriboh in the card art of 【Guardian Priest - Mana】. However, if you say Ankh Kuriboh isn't Shada's but Mana's, I can accept that opinion.
