# Chapter 551: The Machina Explosive Setup, and the White Dragon's Explosive Birth
"Huh? He directly Summoned a Monster with 2500 ATK?"
Seeing the Machina Fortress appear on Alister's Field, Kaiba raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that despite being a despicable scoundrel, the opponent still possessed some strength.
But that's all there is to it. A mere Monster with 2500 ATK still won't catch Kaiba's eye.
Alister didn't expect just one Monster to surprise Kaiba much. "Next, I Activate the Continuous Spell Card Machina Frontline. Once per Turn, when a Machine Type Monster on my Field is Battle Destroyed, I can Special Summon one Machine Type Monster with the same Attribute but lower ATK than the destroyed Monster from my Deck."
"Then I Set two cards from my Hand. I End my Turn."
[Alister: 4000 LP, Hand 1]
Machina Fortress [ATK 2500]
Machina Frontline [Set Card] [Set Card]
"Hmph, so you prepared cards to summon follow-up Monsters for Defense when your Monster is Battle Destroyed, considering it would be Crushed by my Blue-Eyes?" Kaiba said disdainfully, drawing a Card from his Deck with his Finger. "But unfortunately, the Power of my Blue-Eyes cannot be stopped by preparations of that level. My Turn, Draw a Card!"
"Normal Summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands. When this Monster is Normal Summoned successfully, I can Search my Deck for one Ritual Spell Card or Ritual Monster and Add it to my Hand. I choose the Ritual Spell Card Chaos Form."
"Next, I Activate the Ritual Spell Card Chaos Form! I send Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Hand to the Graveyard as Ritual Tribute, fulfilling the Level 8 requirement!"
"With absolute Power, take complete control of Light and Dark, and Descent here to tear everything apart!"
"Ritual Summon! Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!"
Having Evolved and gained Chaos Power, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon Manifested on Kaiba's Field. Having discarded all Defense, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon transformed into a formidable spear of Destruction, pointing directly at Alister!
Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands [ATK 1400]
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon [ATK 3000]
"Enter my Battle Phase! I Attack your Machina Fortress on the Field with Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!"
After making the Attack Declaration, Kaiba added, "When Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, which was Ritual Summoned using Blue-Eyes White Dragon as Ritual Tribute, declares an Attack, I Activate its own Effect,"
"Change the Battle Position of all Monsters on the Opponent's Field, and the ATK/DEF of Monsters whose Battle Position is changed by this Effect become 0!"
"Also, this Turn, when Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon Attacks a Defense Position Monster, it gains the piercing ability, inflicting Battle Damage to the Opponent equal to the amount its ATK exceeds the Target Monster's DEF!"
The azure Giant Dragon spread the wings of Light on its back, and purple Lightning Radiated from behind it. Following Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon's movement, the Machina Fortress, which was originally in Attack Position and ready for battle, was forced to Change Battle Position!
Machina Fortress [ATK 2500→DEF 0]
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon with 3000 ATK, while possessing the Ability to weaken the Opponent's ATK/DEF, also has the piercing ability to Crush all Defense. If Kaiba's Attack hits successfully, it's enough to inflict a full 3000 points of Battle Damage to Alister's Life Points in one go!
In this Situation, Alister's choice was---
"Truly the consistent Violence of KaibaCorp, but my Revenge won't End just like that!" After Confirming that his Machina Fortress on the Field had indeed been changed to Defense Position, Alister decisively Activated a Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone, "I Activate the Trap Card Machina Overload!"
"It's useless, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon cannot be targeted by an opponent's effect, nor can it be destroyed by an opponent's effect!"
Although he didn't Know what Effect the Set Card Alister flipped had, Kaiba still said with Confidence,
Alister returned a cold Smile. "That doesn't matter, because what I'm going to Destroy isn't your Monster, but my Machina Fortress!"
"The Effect of Machina Overload is, Target one Machine Type Monster on my Field; Special Summon one Machina Monster with a different name than that Monster from your Deck, then Destroy the Targeted Monster." Alister Drew a Card from his Deck and slapped it onto his Duel Disk, "I Special Summon Machina General in Defense Position from my Deck, then Destroy my Machina Fortress!"
The Machina Fortress, which was originally the attack target by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, exploded with a roar, sending Parts flying and shattering everywhere. From within, another completely new Machina Monster appeared, Machina General. Equipped with a chainsaw and electromagnetic cannon on its hands, its appearance alone showed it wasn't an ordinary Duel Monster.
But what surprised Kaiba wasn't the Appearance of Machina General, but rather that after Machina General was Special Summoned by destroying Machina Fortress, the Parts of Machina Fortress, which should have been discarded, actually began to Gather again, transforming into a mechanical Giant somewhat similar to Machina Fortress!
"When Machina Fortress is Sent to the Graveyard, I can Banish it to Activate the Effect of Machina Overdrive in my Graveyard, Special Summoning it in Defense Position." Alister Explained, a ferocious Smile on his face, "This is the Resentment you, Kaiba Seto, must face, the Resentment that cannot be erased!"
"Hmph, boring. I have no idea what nonsense you're spouting. In my eyes, there are only pure Duel Monsters. Save your idiotic ramblings for the Police." Kaiba glanced disdainfully at the two Monsters on Alister's Field,
[Machina Overdrive] [Level 8/EARTH]
[Machine Type/Effect]
[2600/1500]
Machina General [Level 10/EARTH]
[Machine Type/Special Summon/Effect]
[3000/2500]
"Although Machina Fortress wasn't Destroyed by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, it triggered an Attack Replay, allowing Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon to select an Attack Target once again and Attack. And Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon's Effect doesn't have a 'once per Turn' Restriction."
Kaiba said, his Finger pointing at Machina General, the Monster with the highest ATK on Alister's Field: "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Attack the Machina General in Defense Position! But before that, use your Effect to change the Battle Position of all Monsters on the Opponent's Field!"
The wings of Light, which had already been released but not yet retracted, Radiated again. Under the Lightning released by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon for the second time, the two High-Level Machina Monsters Alister had Special Summoned simultaneously Changed Battle Position, and their Power was also stripped away.
[Machina Overdrive] [DEF 1500→ATK 0]
Machina General [DEF 2500→ATK 0]
In that Instant, the chainsaw on Machina General's Right Hand, which had been spinning at high speed, suddenly stopped, and the electromagnetic cannon on its left arm also ceased Charging. The entire machine stopped functioning as if the Power had been cut off for a moment. Meanwhile, on Kaiba's Field across from it, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon had already opened its mouth and unleashed a fatal Breath upon it!
"Boom!"
Without any resistance, Machina General was easily destroyed and crushed into wreckage by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon's Power. Kaiba watched coldly as Alister's Monster turned to ash.
After the Smoke of the Explosion, the Monster that was revealed didn't surprise Kaiba. After All, he still remembered the Machina Frontline that Alister had Activated earlier.
Machina Defender [Level 9/EARTH]
[Machine Type/Effect]
[2800/0]
When Machina Frontline's Effect resolves, it doesn't use the Destroyed Monster's ATK while on the Field, but rather its Original Attack while in the Graveyard for the Settlement. Machina General's ATK was 3000, so Alister chose to Special Summon Machina Defender with 2800 ATK, which is almost the maximum possible.
However, what concerned Kaiba was that he had expected Alister's Life Points to be only 1000, like a Flickering Candle, after this round of Attacks. But Alister's Life Points were currently as high as 5000?
Only then did Alister open his mouth to Explain: "At the Instant your Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon Attacked, I Activated another Set Card, Nutrient Z. When 2000 or more Battle Damage is taken, this Card can be Activated During Damage Calculation for that damage. My Life Points gain 4000."
[Alister: 4000→8000→5000 LP]
Actually, Alister didn't need to Explain. Kaiba also Knew the Effect of this Card, and could even say he was very familiar with it. In several Duels with Hayato in the Past, because the Blue-Eyes Deck Kaiba Used focused on Beatdown and had many High Attack Power Monsters, Hayato often Used cards like Attack Reflector Unit, Rainbow Life, and Nutrient Z.
"Hmph, so the Characteristic of High Attack Power was Utilized. However, I don't care."
"Tsk, truly arrogant, Kaiba Seto." Although Alister's Life Points increased instead of decreasing, the Damage he took was real. He rubbed his stomach slightly. "Because of Machina Frontline's Effect, when my Machina General was Battle Destroyed, I Special Summoned Machina Defender, which is also EARTH Attribute and has a lower ATK of 2800, in Attack Position from my Deck."
"When Machina Defender is Normal or Special Summoned successfully, I can Activate its Effect: Reveal three Machine Type, EARTH Attribute Monsters from my Deck to the Opponent. The Opponent randomly chooses one, and I Add the chosen Monster to my Hand, returning the rest to the Deck."
As he spoke, the Phantom of the three Monster Cards Alister chose was Projected before Kaiba.
Machina Peacekeeper, Machina Gearframe, and Machina Cannon
The three Monsters were the same as the other Machina Monsters Kaiba had seen Before, all being Machine Type, EARTH Attribute Monsters. After the Phantoms of the three Cards were shuffled and presented several times, Kaiba casually pointed to the one in the middle: "I choose the Card in the middle."
The Card flipped over. It was a humanoid Machine Soldier with orange-yellow armor, Machina Gearframe.
"In that case, I Add Machina Gearframe to my Hand, and the other two Monsters are returned to the Deck." Alister took back the other two Cards, then Added Machina Gearframe to his Hand.
Kaiba looked at Alister's Field and frowned.
He had clearly succeeded in Battle Destroying the Opponent's Monster, but in the blink of an eye, the Monsters on the Opponent's Field had increased from one at the start of the Turn to two now. And they weren't just Small Fry to fill the numbers, but actual High-Level Monsters.
Although Machina Overdrive's ATK/DEF were Permanently reduced by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, the 2800 ATK of Machina Defender couldn't be ignored. With just a slightly better Equip Card, it could surpass his own Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon.
However, the Opponent had set up their Field early, but seemed to Forget that it was Still his Battle Phase. He hadn't said the Battle Phase was over, had he?
"Although the only Monster left on my Field is Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, which has already Attacked, the Blue-Eyes in my Graveyard are eager to make their Appearance. During the Battle Phase, I Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Silver's Cry! I Special Summon one Dragon-Type Normal Monster from my Graveyard!"
"My Glory, my Tamashii! Descent here!"
"Burū-Aisu-Waito-Doragon!"
Speaking of which, he had Hayato to thank. After being hit by Trap-Heavy Decks repeatedly, Kaiba had learned not to unleash his full Power from the start. Although he could have Summoned Blue-Eyes White Dragon During Main Phase 1, he had kept the Card Silver's Cry until now, and it had indeed come in handy.
The White Giant Dragon with blue eyes makes its grand Appearance!
Blue-Eyes White Dragon [ATK 3000]
"Because it was Special Summoned During the Battle Phase, Blue-Eyes White Dragon can also participate in Battle. And the Attack Target I choose is the Machina Overdrive on your Field, whose ATK was changed to 0 by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon."
Kaiba extended his Hand, pointing at the mechanical Giant on Alister's Field, "Machina Frontline is indeed a Card that can effectively maintain your battle line, but its Effectiveness is only once per Turn. If another Monster is Destroyed this time, you'll only have Machina Defender left on your Field."
"Go, Blue-Eyes, Burst Stream of Destruction!"
Blue-Eyes White Dragon is Kaiba Seto's most trusted Card and strongest Ace Card. Although it is just a Normal Monster Card with no Effects, its Overwhelming Power is its strongest Means/Method.
The White Dragon Revived from the Graveyard unleashed a Flood of Light from its mouth, engulfing the Machina Overdrive which had been 'cut off from Power' by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon earlier, instantly Destroying and Crushing it!
"Ugh!" Alister also cried out in Pain from Blue-Eyes White Dragon's Attack, which had barely been weakened at all.
[Alister: 5000→2000 LP]
After All, the only Card in Alister's Spell/Trap Zone was Machina Frontline. He had no Countermeasure to stop Blue-Eyes's Attack. But on the other hand, he had already prepared his "Revenge".
"The Pain you inflicted upon me is destined to be settled, Kaiba Seto!" Alister Drew a Card from his Graveyard, "When the Machine Type, EARTH Attribute Machina Overdrive on my Field is Battle Destroyed, I Activate the Effect of Machina General in my Graveyard!"
"Special Summon Machina General, Return!"
(End of Chapter)
"Huh? He directly Summoned a Monster with 2500 ATK?"
Seeing the Machina Fortress appear on Alister's Field, Kaiba raised an eyebrow. He didn't expect that despite being a despicable scoundrel, the opponent still possessed some strength.
But that's all there is to it. A mere Monster with 2500 ATK still won't catch Kaiba's eye.
Alister didn't expect just one Monster to surprise Kaiba much. "Next, I Activate the Continuous Spell Card Machina Frontline. Once per Turn, when a Machine Type Monster on my Field is Battle Destroyed, I can Special Summon one Machine Type Monster with the same Attribute but lower ATK than the destroyed Monster from my Deck."
"Then I Set two cards from my Hand. I End my Turn."
[Alister: 4000 LP, Hand 1]
Machina Fortress [ATK 2500]
Machina Frontline [Set Card] [Set Card]
"Hmph, so you prepared cards to summon follow-up Monsters for Defense when your Monster is Battle Destroyed, considering it would be Crushed by my Blue-Eyes?" Kaiba said disdainfully, drawing a Card from his Deck with his Finger. "But unfortunately, the Power of my Blue-Eyes cannot be stopped by preparations of that level. My Turn, Draw a Card!"
"Normal Summon Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands. When this Monster is Normal Summoned successfully, I can Search my Deck for one Ritual Spell Card or Ritual Monster and Add it to my Hand. I choose the Ritual Spell Card Chaos Form."
"Next, I Activate the Ritual Spell Card Chaos Form! I send Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Hand to the Graveyard as Ritual Tribute, fulfilling the Level 8 requirement!"
"With absolute Power, take complete control of Light and Dark, and Descent here to tear everything apart!"
"Ritual Summon! Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!"
Having Evolved and gained Chaos Power, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon Manifested on Kaiba's Field. Having discarded all Defense, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon transformed into a formidable spear of Destruction, pointing directly at Alister!
Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands [ATK 1400]
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon [ATK 3000]
"Enter my Battle Phase! I Attack your Machina Fortress on the Field with Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!"
After making the Attack Declaration, Kaiba added, "When Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, which was Ritual Summoned using Blue-Eyes White Dragon as Ritual Tribute, declares an Attack, I Activate its own Effect,"
"Change the Battle Position of all Monsters on the Opponent's Field, and the ATK/DEF of Monsters whose Battle Position is changed by this Effect become 0!"
"Also, this Turn, when Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon Attacks a Defense Position Monster, it gains the piercing ability, inflicting Battle Damage to the Opponent equal to the amount its ATK exceeds the Target Monster's DEF!"
The azure Giant Dragon spread the wings of Light on its back, and purple Lightning Radiated from behind it. Following Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon's movement, the Machina Fortress, which was originally in Attack Position and ready for battle, was forced to Change Battle Position!
Machina Fortress [ATK 2500→DEF 0]
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon with 3000 ATK, while possessing the Ability to weaken the Opponent's ATK/DEF, also has the piercing ability to Crush all Defense. If Kaiba's Attack hits successfully, it's enough to inflict a full 3000 points of Battle Damage to Alister's Life Points in one go!
In this Situation, Alister's choice was---
"Truly the consistent Violence of KaibaCorp, but my Revenge won't End just like that!" After Confirming that his Machina Fortress on the Field had indeed been changed to Defense Position, Alister decisively Activated a Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone, "I Activate the Trap Card Machina Overload!"
"It's useless, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon cannot be targeted by an opponent's effect, nor can it be destroyed by an opponent's effect!"
Although he didn't Know what Effect the Set Card Alister flipped had, Kaiba still said with Confidence,
Alister returned a cold Smile. "That doesn't matter, because what I'm going to Destroy isn't your Monster, but my Machina Fortress!"
"The Effect of Machina Overload is, Target one Machine Type Monster on my Field; Special Summon one Machina Monster with a different name than that Monster from your Deck, then Destroy the Targeted Monster." Alister Drew a Card from his Deck and slapped it onto his Duel Disk, "I Special Summon Machina General in Defense Position from my Deck, then Destroy my Machina Fortress!"
The Machina Fortress, which was originally the attack target by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, exploded with a roar, sending Parts flying and shattering everywhere.

"Hmph, boring. I have no idea what nonsense you're spouting. In my eyes, there are only pure Duel Monsters. Save your idiotic ramblings for the Police." Kaiba glanced disdainfully at the two Monsters on Alister's Field,
[Machina Overdrive] [Level 8/EARTH]
[Machine Type/Effect]
[2600/1500]
Machina General [Level 10/EARTH]
[Machine Type/Special Summon/Effect]
[3000/2500]
"Although Machina Fortress wasn't Destroyed by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, it triggered an Attack Replay, allowing Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon to select an Attack Target once again and Attack. And Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon's Effect doesn't have a 'once per Turn' Restriction."
Kaiba said, his Finger pointing at Machina General, the Monster with the highest ATK on Alister's Field: "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Attack the Machina General in Defense Position! But before that, use your Effect to change the Battle Position of all Monsters on the Opponent's Field!"
The wings of Light, which had already been released but not yet retracted, Radiated again. Under the Lightning released by Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon for the second time, the two High-Level Machina Monsters Alister had Special Summoned simultaneously Changed Battle Position, and their Power was also stripped away.
[Machina Overdrive] [DEF 1500→ATK 0]
Machina General [DEF 2500→ATK 0]
In that Instant, the chainsaw on Machina General's Right Hand, which had been spinning at high speed, suddenly stopped, and the electromagnetic cannon on its left arm also ceased Charging. The entire machine stopped functioning as if the Power had been cut off for a moment. Meanwhile, on Kaiba's Field across from it, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon had already opened its mouth and unleashed a fatal Breath upon it!
