Chapter 653: Is This the End?
After Dartz ended his Turn, Kaiba didn't rush to Draw a Card. Instead, he looked up at Serpent God - Yi.
"A Monster with Infinite ATK..."
Although Kaiba was slightly startled by the pressure emanating from Serpent God - Yi when it first appeared, that feeling was more like the shock someone gets when they turn around after using the Restroom and find someone behind them.
Having fully adapted to the intimidating presence of the Evil Serpent God before him, Kaiba's mood at this moment was more akin to the excitement of seeing an opponent worthy of his full power.
This Duel is the final Duel to end Organization Doma. Only an opponent of this caliber is fitting; only such a difficult-to-conquer opponent is qualified to match Kaiba Seto's Duel.
"My Turn!" Drawing a card from his Deck, Kaiba's expression was calm, but his eyes completely revealed the excitement in his heart. "Draw!"
"Then, I activate this Spell Card, Card of Demise!"
"Draw cards from my Deck until I have five cards in my Hand. As a cost, during the Standby Phase of the fifth Turn after I activate this card, I must discard my entire Hand."
Several Turns after Dartz activated Card of Demise, Kaiba also activated this powerful draw card, replenishing his Hand to five cards at once.
But watching Kaiba draw cards, Dartz remained unimpressed. "Seto, your Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck is best at beatdown. But unfortunately, after losing Obelisk the Tormentor, no matter how much you increase your Monster's ATK, there is a limit. You can never approach the concept of ∞ in the slightest."
"Increasing the number of cards in your Hand is completely meaningless. Come, Summon a Monster for defense and let it die, then cling to life pathetically."
Dartz's taunt was too obvious. Let alone the quick-witted Yugi, even the slow Joey Wheeler could see through Dartz's trick. Wasn't it just to make Kaiba Summon his Monster in Attack Position so Serpent God - Yi could attack it next Turn? It was as certain as urine splashing on your pants when peeing against the wind.
However, Yugi and Joey Wheeler also knew that while such a taunt wouldn't work on anyone else, it was exceptionally effective on Kaiba.
"Hmph, you're looking down on me too much. The word 'retreat' has never existed in my life. There is only 'advance'." Kaiba said coldly, looking at Dartz.
Dartz returned with a cold, sinister smile. "Advance? That's a pity. The future of Human Civilization holds nothing but silent darkness. It is precisely because of this that I decided to cleanse humanity and create a new future for this Planet."
"I never said I'd leave the future for you to decide. If you dare to meddle with my path filled with glory and radiance, then open your eyes wide and watch, Dartz! Witness how I will crush you with Blue-Eyes!"
As Kaiba spoke, he activated a card from his Hand. "Quick-Play Spell Card Ultimate Fusion! This card can only be activated during either player's Main Phase. By returning three Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Graveyard to the Deck as Fusion Material, I Special Summon this ultimate dragon from my Fusion Deck!"
"Ultimate Dragon that transcends Space and time, the strongest in history, descend! Wagatama Soul!!"
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!!!"
The white dragon, a symbol of "Victory", regenerated from the Graveyard with the activation of the Spell Card, circling and flying around Kaiba before converging into a single card. Kaiba slammed that card onto his Duel Disk.
Kaiba's cape was blown wildly by the updraft rising from nowhere. Behind him, the majestic and imposing ultimate dragon descended!
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon [ATK 4500]
With its powerful ATK and cool appearance, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon would inevitably dominate the entire Field in a regular Duel. However, the opponent it faced now was Serpent God - Yi on Dartz's Field, with Infinite ATK.
But before Dartz could taunt, Kaiba took out another card from his Hand and revealed it. "Following my will, Dartz, the ace card I will use to defeat you has now appeared in my Hand."
"Compared to Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon doesn't have the power of multiple attacks, but it is still my most trusted ace monster. Open your eyes wide and watch! The ultimate dragon will display its most resilient, invincible, strongest form!"
"I Tribute Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on my Field, and Special Summon this monster from my Hand!"
"Just let your radiance completely tear apart the filthy and corrupt darkness! Crush! Destroy! Great Applause!"
Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's body was enveloped in light and transformed into an orb. Extreme light radiated from Kaiba's Field, illuminating the entire Sanctuary.
Although it had Infinite ATK and a status that could be called the apex among Duel Monsters, stimulated by the light, Serpent God - Yi on Dartz's Field twisted its body uncomfortably, as if unable to adapt to the light before it.
Even Dartz looked at the card Kaiba played with disbelief. "That monster is... from Three Thousand Years Ago—"
Dartz's low murmur was completely drowned out by Kaiba's shout. He slammed the card in his Hand onto the Duel Disk, calling out the Monster's Name:
"Come to my side!"
"Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!!!"
"Boom!"
The orb of light burst violently, the impact sweeping through the Interior of the Seal of Orichalcos, easily dispersing the darkness that constantly surrounded Serpent God - Yi's body and making the Black Hole it resided in unstable. The light points lifted into the air when the orb of light burst fell like snowflakes. In this scene of falling stardust, a giant dragon whose figure could only be described as "gorgeous" appeared behind Kaiba.
Unlike the bulky bodies of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, the figure of the giant dragon that descended behind Kaiba was slender and graceful. Its pure white body was covered in mysterious blue patterns. Just by standing behind Kaiba with its wings spread, the white dragon gave off an indescribable sense of pressure.
Feeling a touch on his cheek, Kaiba turned his head and found that the white dragon he Summoned was affectionately nuzzling him. Subconsciously, Kaiba uncharacteristically showed a smile he didn't even notice himself.
Looking back at Dartz and the giant serpent behind him, Kaiba declared with confidence: "This is my strongest ace card, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"
Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon [Level 10/LIGHT]
[Dragon/Effect]
[3000/2500 → 5700/2500]
"For every Dragon-Type monster in my Graveyard, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon gains 300 ATK. Currently, I have a total of 9 Dragon-Type monsters in my Graveyard, so Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's ATK is 5700!"
"That's good ATK... But the opponent's ATK is Infinite!"
Outside the Barrier, Rex's eyes widened. He instinctively wanted to exclaim in amazement at Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's ATK, but then belatedly remembered that Serpent God - Yi with Infinite ATK was still on Dartz's Field.
Because of the aura and radiance of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's appearance, not only within the Duel Field, but even Rex Off-field instinctively had the fear of Serpent God - Yi dispelled from his heart and was filled with confidence in Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon.
Speaking of which, this wasn't the first appearance of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. At that time, during the "Pyramid of Light" incident that occurred in Kaiba Industrial Park, Yugi used the power of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon to crush Anubis's Pyramid of Light. However, that incident was not made public, so this was the first time Rex had seen Kaiba use this monster, and he didn't know what kind of power Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon possessed.
It should be known that even Pegasus once frankly stated that among all the Duel Monsters cards he created, even including the "Three Egyptian Gods" cards, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, created by combining the data of Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and with a helping hand from Shadi, could be considered one of the strongest cards.
The effect of increasing ATK was secondary. Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon also possessed an almost unfair "resistance" ability, allowing the User to decide whether or not to be affected by effect interference and influence, as well as the most ultimate power to erase everything.
"The ultimate power possessed by Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon is the ability to ignore effects and resistance and forcibly destroy any number of cards on the Opponent's Field at the cost of its own existence. This effect cannot be negated and cannot be resisted. It can even destroy a god."
Looking at Dartz, Kaiba declared, "Now! I will use this ultimate effect of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon to crush that Set Card on your Field, your Seal of Orichalcos, Orichalcos Deuteros, Orichalcos Tritos, and that Serpent God - Yi all in one go!"
"I'm counting on you, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon! Bring me victory!"
Waving his hand forward, Kaiba said resolutely, "Shining Nova!"
Dartz had an expression of disbelief. "Didn't you say Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon was your ace monster? You made the decision to Tribute it so easily!"
"Damn it, why would a monster with that kind of power appear right now!" Looking at the blue patterns on Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon on Kaiba's Field releasing light, about to self-destruct, Dartz glanced back at his Serpent God - Yi on the Field.
Although it was a monster with Infinite ATK, the awkward thing was that Serpent God - Yi itself was just fragile and didn't have even a shred of resistance. Its only resistance at the moment was the ability to not be affected by the Opponent's Spell and Trap Cards, which was granted by Orichalcos Tritos.
However, Dartz also knew that the birth of Serpent God - Yi was a monster nurtured from the inner darkness of all the life force of the Atlantean Civilization, after he completely realized that Atlantis had no future or hope and decided to destroy Atlantis to cleanse the Surface with the "Orichalcos God".
Because it was nurtured from the inner darkness of a civilization, Serpent God - Yi inherited the appearance features of Dartz, the Emperor of Atlantis, and gained infinite power. But at the same time, because the quality of darkness varied, its existence carried a huge burden.
The summoning conditions were complicated, and Serpent God - Yi also had a negative effect when attacking, requiring Dartz to send the top ten cards of his Deck to the Graveyard.
But no matter how big the burden, it didn't matter anymore, because Serpent God - Yi was about to be destroyed by Seto's Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's power. Dartz looked at Kaiba and Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon beside him with an unpleasant expression.
As a "walking history" who had lived for over ten thousand years, Dartz naturally knew the origin between Kaiba and Blue-Eyes. Even three thousand years ago when Dark Yugi became Pharaoh, Dartz had stayed in Ancient Egypt for a period of time for the reason of observing Human Civilization.
However, at that time, Dartz paid more attention to the "Nameless Pharaoh" whose status was special and whose true name could not even be spoken. He never expected that the one who would defeat him today would be "Seto" and Blue-Eyes, whom he hadn't paid much attention to.
After all, a Blue-Eyes Deck full of high-level monsters was already prone to a bricked hand. Gathering three Blue-Eyes White Dragon in one go was theoretically not an easy thing. Not to mention having to draw a Polymerization to Summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Under such prerequisites, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, which required complex summoning preparation to appear, was simply a pointless card!
While Serpent God - Yi was on the Field, Dartz gained the ability to not be defeated even if his Life Points were reduced to zero. However, this effect would also disappear after Serpent God - Yi would leave the Field. Dartz was somewhat relieved that he hadn't been arrogant last Turn and had instead cautiously used the effect of Orichalcos Deuteros once to recover 1000 Life Points.
However, the opponent hasn't performed a Normal Summon this Turn. His current Life Points are simply a flickering candle. Even if he won't be directly defeated by Serpent God - Yi leaving the Field, his losing situation is basically already destined...
The power of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon is so strong, too strong. I cannot block it...
It seems I've reached my limit...
If I hadn't brought this pointless card, then yes, it would have been the end!
Facing the radiance, Dartz pressed the Activate Set Card button on his Duel Disk. "Chain Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's effect! I activate the Set Card in my Back Row!"
You didn't expect this, Seto! I also brought a pointless card!
Hearing Dartz's words, Serpent God - Yi, which didn't want to be destroyed, turned its head and looked at Dartz expectantly. Kaiba also raised an eyebrow. "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon's effect cannot be negated!"
"I know that, of course, but Seto, I didn't say I was going to use my Set Card on your Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon." Dartz pointed at the card in his Back Row that had already revealed its green border. "Because the card I am activating is this one!"
The familiar card art made Yugi and the other two stunned.
"Quick-Play Spell Card Mysterious Chinese Pot! I Tribute Serpent God - Yi on my Field, and then my Life Points recover by its ATK value!"
"Rather than being destroyed by your Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, I'd rather stir-fry Serpent God - Yi myself and eat it!"
"This is the top-tier understanding of Duel Monsters I learned from Hayato!"
Noticing Serpent God - Yi's bewildered expression looking at him, Dartz sneered, "For victory, I can only give up on you, my old friend. This is a necessary sacrifice!"
