Chapter 654 Infinite? Isn't that a Debuff?
"This is a necessary sacrifice!"
A large pot descended from the heavens, covering the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness and squeezing out the power from its body.
Although in the next moment, the Mystical Hot Pot, the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness trapped within it, and the triple Seal of Orichalcos beneath Dartz's feet were enveloped and crushed by the all-erasing flash of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, the conversion was already complete, and a Light Cluster flew out from the shattered Mystical Hot Pot and landed in Dartz's Hand.
Grabbing the Light Cluster, Dartz opened his mouth with a grin and put the Light Cluster into his mouth and swallowed it down. He laughed proudly, "Eat it, and the power surges up."
"From now on, my Life Points," feeling the surging power, Dartz felt exceptionally comfortable, "are Infinite!"
[Dartz: 1000 LP → ∞]
"Following infinite ATK, now it's infinite Life Points..." Looking at Dartz, who was surrounded by the same Darkness as the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness, his one green and one yellow eyes glowing with strange Radiance, Kaiba frowned, helpless against the sudden surge in Dartz's Life Points.
Dartz clearly said that the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness was his Ace Card, his strongest Monster, yet the Set Card on his Back Row wasn't some protective card but the Mystical Hot Pot Hayato liked to use the most. Who would have thought of that?
"To be able to surpass the power of the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness, I have to applaud your Effort, but unfortunately, your efforts prove exactly that Humans alone cannot Overcome Darkness." Opening his arms, Dartz said confidently, "I am already in an Invincible Position!"
What kind of concept is infinite Life Points? It means no matter what Monster attacks, no matter how high its ATK is, 3000, 5000, 10000, or even 100000, as long as it's not Infinite, it's just a tickle to Dartz.
He could even lightly Taunt after the Attack ends, "Infinite Life Points, Kid."
How can someone with infinite Life Points lose? Dartz is a professional at Duel Monsters, okay?
At this moment, for Yugi and his two Companions to Defeat Dartz, there are only three ways: one is to find a way to make Dartz Deck Out, the second is a Special Victory like Exodia, and the last is to Summon a Monster with Infinite ATK.
But Dartz didn't think they had any Hope of achieving any of the three methods.
Witnessing Dartz's Life Points turn into Infinite before his eyes, Kaiba took a deep breath and said, "Hmph, you escaped a calamity from my Hands, Dartz."
Even facing Dartz with infinite Life Points, Kaiba still had a confident, well-prepared expression, setting all three cards in his Hand on the Back Row. "Set three cards, I End Turn."
[Kaiba: 4000 LP, Hand 0]
[Set Card] X3
"Hoh? Listening to your tone, could it be that you still hold futile expectations about Defeating me, Seto?" Looking at Kaiba who Set three cards at once, Dartz sneered.
"Expectation? Hmph, my dictionary doesn't have such a thing. As long as I want to, the Future in my Hands is 100% certain, including the Present." Kaiba said, glancing at Yugi beside him. "Although it won't be me who plucks the Fruit of Victory, it doesn't matter. Make good use of the cards I left behind, Yugi."
"Kaiba?" Yugi hesitated slightly. After exchanging glances with Kaiba for a few seconds, he finally said, "I understand."
"Leaving cards for the Nameless Pharaoh for the next Turn? Useless, Seto. Let alone just three cards, even if you leave your entire Deck to the Nameless Pharaoh, it's impossible to create any possibility of victory." Dartz said, placing his Finger on his Deck and Drawing a Card. "My Turn, Draw!"
"Then, one of the three possibilities of Victory, I will cut it off with this Card!"
"Continuous Spell Card, Recycling Plant! During each of my Turns' Standby Phase, I can Pay 300 Life Points to Return one non-Monster Card from the Graveyard to the bottom of the Deck. This way, because my Life Points will never be fully Paid, my Deck achieves a different kind of Infinite!"
"Just like that, I End Turn!"
[Dartz: LP ∞, Hand 0]
[Recycling Plant]
Declaring his Turn End, looking at Yugi standing before him, confident that Victory was already in his Hands, Dartz couldn't help but Taunt Yugi before him, "Nameless Pharaoh, are you still going to Struggle, before my Infinite Deck and Infinite Life Points?"
"You should know, the way to Defeat me fundamentally doesn't exist within your Deck. The End awaiting you is only Ruin."
"Rather than that, it's better to Surrender to me now. You can still obtain a peaceful Demise and not suffer Despair and Misfortune."
Hearing Dartz's words, Yugi lowered his head, as if persuaded by Dartz. "I, if I just Give Up the Duel like this, if I Surrender to you, Dartz, can I really welcome a peaceful End?"
"Nyeh heh~ Of course. Compared to Misfortune and Despair, isn't it better to peacefully welcome the End of Humanity?" Dartz said with a Smile. "Come on, quickly Give Up the Duel."
Only to see Yugi raised his Right Hand, slowly reaching towards the Deck on his Duel Disk. As long as he pulled out the Deck, it would mean he had Given Up continuing the Duel.
Heh heh, this is also unavoidable. Even if it's the Nameless Pharaoh, after seeing my Infinite Life Points and Infinite Deck, it's difficult to maintain this futile Duel with Willpower. Dartz sneered in his Heart, watching Yugi's Finger touch the Deck.
The next Instant,
"But, I Refuse!" Suddenly raising his head, Yugi revealed a resolute Expression, and suddenly Drew a Card! "Now, in my Hand, I hold the Future!"
"My Turn, Draw!"
Saying this, Yugi's Arm suddenly swung. The Drawn Card was held between his Fingers, drawing a flashing arc in mid-air.
"Nani?!" Dartz was startled, and immediately revealed an Angry Expression. "You guy, were you just fooling me, Nameless Pharaoh!?"
"As a Soul from Three Thousand Years Ago, the Mastermind who brought the Power of Darkness back to the World, you guy actually dare to defy me, Dartz!?"
"Put away those Deceptive Tricks, Dartz!" Glancing at the Card in his Hand, Yugi looked at Dartz and said, "Although I still haven't recovered my Lost Memory until now, there is one thing I am absolutely certain of, and that is I will absolutely Defeat you!"
"The Future of the World, will be changed by me!"
"Activate Set Card, Pot of the Forbidden! When there are no Monsters on my Field, I Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from my Deck. I Special Summon Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight in Attack Position."
"Then the second Set Card!"
Using the first Set Card Kaiba set, Yugi Searched a Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight from his Deck and placed it on the Field. Then he activated the second Card. The instant the Card was revealed, he was slightly startled.
Because the Card revealed on his Back Row at this moment was surprisingly a Blank Card.
Originally thinking he would see some Powerful Card, but instead saw a Strange Blank Card, this made Joey Wheeler look at Kaiba who Set that Card with a Confused Expression. "What is that Card?"
Although he gained some knowledge and knew that there were all kinds of Cards in the World, even Blank Cards, Joey Wheeler was more concerned about what use or Effect that Card had.
But facing Joey Wheeler who was seeking an Answer, Kaiba said contemptuously, "Hmph, I don't know either."
"Then what are you being Arrogant about! And since you don't know either, what Qualification do you have to look down on me?" Joey Wheeler immediately Ranted, then he realized, "That's not right, where did you get a Blank Card from?"
"I say, Kaiba, are you usually, could it be that you've been secretly Card Printing for yourself?"
"Hmph, mere Commoner, do you think I would be an Idiot like you, who would put unprinted cards into my Deck?" Kaiba crossed his Arms over his chest and said to himself, "That Card is a Card Pegasus made before being taken down by the Doma people. For now, I'll believe that guy's words that that Card has the Power of Saving the World, that's why I put it in my Deck."
"If it's Yugi, he can definitely use the Power of that Card."
"Indeed, I also Believe in Yugi." Following Kaiba in looking towards Yugi, Joey Wheeler said. Then the slow-witted him remembered something. "That's not right, you guy didn't refute that you secretly print cards, right!"
And across from Yugi, Dartz was intimidated by Yugi's Aura for a moment at first, but after seeing the Blank Card Yugi revealed, he revealed a contemptuous Smile. "Huh? What is that, Nameless Pharaoh?"
"And Seto, actually putting that kind of Pointless Card in your Deck. The reason the 'Legendary Dragons' don't have names is because ten thousand Years have passed. What is that Card? A Card without even Card Art, are you trying to make me die of laughter?"
"Heh heh, Sore wa dou kana, who says a Card without Card Art can't Defeat someone?"
Unlike Dartz, who had a contemptuous Expression, the instant that Card on the Field was revealed by Yugi, he felt as if a Voice in his Heart was guiding him, instantly knowing the Power of this Card before him.
"Nameless Card, I can now feel the Power hidden within it," glancing at the Card in his Hand, Yugi took a deep breath and shouted, "First is, sent to the Graveyard by Joey Wheeler, The Claw of Hermos!"
Suddenly, a beam of Light surged from Joey Wheeler's Graveyard. Joey Wheeler was startled. "Uwah!"
Before him, a reddish-brown Giant Dragon spread its Wings. It was surprisingly The Claw of Hermos, representing "Freedom".
"Then, Set on the Back Row by Kaiba, The Fang of Critias!"
The third Card on the Field was also revealed with Yugi's shout, revealing one of the three "Legendary Dragons" with only Card Art and no Card Name. A Giant Dragon covered in Black Armor with gleaming luster manifested before Kaiba.
The Fang of Critias, symbolizing "Wisdom", Descends!
"Lastly, it's the Card in my Hand." While saying this, Yugi raised the only Card in his Hand, revealing Card Art that was also completely blank. "Lend me your Power once again, The Eye of Timaeus!"
"Osu!"
Along with the Card in his Hand being played, like glass shattering, the Appearance of The Eye of Timaeus reappeared on the Blank Card Yugi held. The third "Legendary Dragon" that had been temporarily silent since the Duel with Rafael descended into the World once again!
Located between the two Giant Dragons that appeared earlier, a green Giant Dragon spread its Wings. The Eye of Timaeus, representing "Justice", grandly appears!
And with the gathering of all three "Legendary Dragons", they all roared towards the Sky in unison. Holy Light surged from their bodies, piercing the Temple's Rooftop and shooting straight into the Heavens, disappearing into the clouds. Then it was Lightning descending from the Sky, striking within the Temple!
The overflowing Lightning was absorbed by the Nameless Card Yugi activated. Like laser engraving, the Appearance of all three "Legendary Dragons" was quickly printed on the Card, and next to each of them was a sharp Sword!
"Ultimate Card, Legendary Heart! I Pay 1000 Life Points, then Tribute the Warrior Type Monster Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight on the Field!" Yugi's Fist clenched, and he swung upwards! "Here, release the True Power of the 'Legendary Dragons', fully reveal the Stance of the 'Legendary Dragons'!"
"Oh, roar that pierces through the Years, trace back to the distant Past, awaken from the Source! Appear as Power that surpasses the Impossible, guide me towards Victory!"
"Legendary Knight Hermos!"
"Legendary Knight Critias!"
"Legendary Knight Timaeus!"
The Lightning brought the cards on Kaiba and Joey Wheeler's Duel Disks to Yugi's Duel Disk. The three original "Legendary Dragon" cards disappeared along with Legendary Heart. What replaced them were three brand new Monster Cards.
[Legendary Knight Hermos] [Level 8/Light]
[Warrior Type/Effect]
[2800/1800]
[Legendary Knight Critias] [ATK 2800]
[Legendary Knight Timaeus] [ATK 2800]
Looking at the "Legendary Dragons" that turned into Human Figures, Joey Wheeler widened his Eyes, because he discovered that Legendary Knight Hermos, which transformed from The Claw of Hermos, surprisingly had a face exactly like his own!?
Not only that, Critias and Timaeus, after the other two "Legendary Dragons" turned into Human Figures, were surprisingly exactly the same as their respective Owners — Kaiba and Yugi!
Even, their Voices were also the same —
"Who is calling us! Who is calling our Sleeping Souls!" X3
"It's Freedom!" Hermos, with Joey Wheeler's Appearance, pulled out the Long Sword before him;
"It's Wisdom!" Critias, with Kaiba's Appearance, pulled out his Long Sword and made a sword flourish;
"It's Justice!" Timaeus, who looked like Yugi, held the drawn Sword with both Hands, pointing directly at Dartz.
"Ten thousand Years of regret, how can it be repaid! We are back, Emperor of Atlantis!"
"Is your Life Point Reserve still enough?"
"The Pain received ten thousand Years ago, I'll return it to you now!"
"Ya, Yarou!" Seeing the Enemy made their Eyes red with anger. Seeing the "Legendary Dragons" who destroyed his Plan ten thousand Years ago appear in the Stance Dartz was most familiar with acting in the Real World, Dartz clenched his teeth tightly, his Fists clenched tightly. "Stop being Arrogant there, even you shouldn't think of stopping me!"
"Humanity cannot Overcome the Future of Ruin, and I am immortal! Absolutely!"
"What the Future of Humanity is like is not for you to decide, Dartz." Paying 1000 Life Points, Tributing Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight, and summoning the Legendary Knights to his Field, Yugi said Firmly, "The Future of Humanity will be Pioneered by me and my Companions!"
"Let's go, the Total Attack of the Legendary Knights!"
"Useless, my Life Points are ∞, your Attacks are ineffective against me!"
As Dartz's words fell, only to see Critias (Kaiba) had already rushed before him and swung out the first Attack.
"Clang!"
However, in Dartz's surprised Gaze, the Attack swung by Critias was blocked by the Sword extended by Hermos (Joey Wheeler) who was accompanying him. The Collision between the Slash and the sharp Sword emitted a Crisp Sound.
"Why would Critias Attack Hermos!?" Behind Yugi, Joey Wheeler looked Confused. "Could it be that it's not just me and Kaiba who don't get along, but even Hermos and Critias can't get along? But now is not the time for a Quarrel!"
"Hey, stop fighting!"
Seeing Joey Wheeler thought the two Monsters were quarreling and even wanted to go forward to Break up a fight, Kaiba standing next to Joey Wheeler quickly called out to stop him. "Quiet down, Commoner, can't you Idiot see?"
Looking in the Direction of Kaiba's Finger, Joey Wheeler only then noticed that the Slash swung by Critias was not directly Canceled out after being caught by Hermos, but was Attached to the Holy Sword in the latter's Hand and turned into a beam of Light, just like Syrup hanging on a hawthorn.
And after receiving the Slash from Critias, Hermos shouted loudly and swung the Sword in his Hand, The Light Power on the Sword spread into three beams, returning towards the Direction of Critias!
And Critias also replicated the Action of Hermos before, receiving the Slash and then returning it. The Sword Light between the two formed a single mass in mid-air. For a moment, the scene looked even more like a Quarrel.
And Yugi only then spoke. "Legendary Knight Hermos, symbolizing 'Freedom', possesses the Power of Protection. When any Monster on the Field attacks, he can Transfer the Attack Target to himself."
"Then, the Effect of Legendary Knight Hermos, Absorb Queen's Knight, Jack's Knight, and King's Knight from my Deck, and return the received Attack threefold!"
"Next is the 'Wisdom' Power of Legendary Knight Critias, Absorb Magic Cylinder from my Deck to gain its Power, and Transfer the received Attack to Hermos!"
As the Power continuously transferred, between the facing Legendary Knight Critias and Legendary Knight Hermos, the Light changed Shape, turning into the Symbol of "∞"!
"This is, Infinite Loop!?" Dartz widened his Eyes, saying the Result for Yugi. "Under the endless Transfer, the Power between these two Monsters will continuously Increase, and won't stop even when it reaches Infinite levels!"
"Damn it! But, even if the ATK is increased to Infinite levels, what can you do?"
"To be able to release this level of Power after ten thousand Years, as expected, I can't underestimate you, 'Legendary Dragon'." Dartz Paused, pointing at the two Monsters and saying, "But to achieve this Infinite Combo, Critias and Hermos must maintain a State of Cycle, fundamentally unable to participate in Attacks!"
"Once the Delicate Balance between them is broken, in that case, this Infinite Power will instead fall upon your own head, Nameless Pharaoh!"
Looking at the Arrogant Dartz, Yugi said coldly, "Sore wa dou kana!"
"Dartz, you who have survived from ten thousand years ago, it's impossible for you not to Know one thing, and that is where exactly did the 'Legendary Dragons' come from, and their True Form."
"Because of the Plea For Help from the previous Emperor of Atlantis, the 'Legendary Dragons' came to the Human World. To resist the Fallen Atlantis Civilization, they split into three Giant Dragons, and in the Stance of Knights, led the Spirits who came to the Human World with them to Fight alongside Humans."
"Finally, the three split 'Legendary Dragons' Sealed the Orichalcos God at the Cost of falling into Slumber, and then Revived together today after ten thousand Years, reappearing in the Real World in the Stance of Knights."
Pausing for a moment, Yugi looked at Legendary Knight Timaeus standing before him, holding the Long Sword in his Hand high and brewing with Aura, and said, "But at this moment, the three 'Nameless Dragons' will merge into one again!"
"After Legendary Knight Critias and Legendary Knight Hermos, Activate the Power of Legendary Knight Timaeus, Awaken the True Power contained within him and the other two Knights!"
Along with Yugi's words, the "∞" Symbol between Critias and Hermos expanded and enlarged. Timaeus stood in the very center of the "∞" Symbol, receiving the infusion of this Infinite Power. The Armor on his Body was illuminated Golden.
"Tak!" "Shiozaki!" The other two Legendary Knights raised the Swords in their Hands and rushed towards the Direction of Timaeus. Then the tips of the three Long Swords met.
Golden Radiance shot straight into the Heavens!
"Those who wield Spirit Power, transform into dazzling Light, now reside in the Dragon's Eye! Golden Dragon Knight with eyes of Justice burning fiercely!"
"The Power formed by our Bond will now Pioneer a brand new Future! Obtain Power that surpasses the Infinite!"
"Descend! Amulet Dragon!"
His Cape swung, scattering the shining Light around; his sharp Sword was raised, the sharp Aura of Justice shot straight into the clouds; under the Golden Armor, is the Knight of Victory!
[Amulet Dragon] [Level 10/Light]
[Warrior Type/Fusion/Effect]
[∞/∞]
"Carrying the Name of Love and Truth, Timaeus has arrived!"
Yugi closed his Eyes. The Figures of countless people flashed before his Eyes — Rex, Alister, Rafael, Valon, Kujaku Mai, Joey Wheeler, Tristan , Téa , Keipei, Kaiba, Ji-chan, Marik, Rebecca, Rishid, Ishizu, Hayato.
"The final Direct Attack, from now on, your Fortune is Great Misfortune, Dartz!"
Opening his Eyes and looking at Dartz, who had an Expression of Disbelief, Yugi raised his Right Hand, and Amulet Dragon also synchronized with Yugi's Action, holding the Sword with both Hands above its head.
"Finishing Blow! Rising Dragon Sword!"
Thank you to "I am the Emperor of Atlantis" for the 10000 Points Tip, thank you very much.
Thank you to "user20220317172012234" for the 100 Points Tip, thank you.
There are still two chapters left, will repay slowly (OvO)
Also, I rewatched the Anime and found that the Legendary Knights' Effects are really awesome. They can choose the Target to Absorb Power from Hand, Graveyard, or even Deck, and the Effects can also be strengthened.
For example, absorbing the opponent's Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight, its Effect is not destroyed by ATK 1900 or more. After strengthening, it directly becomes ATK 1900 or more Negated.
Seto's Magic Cylinder is to Transfer the opponent monster's Attack to a Defense Position Monster. After strengthening, it became 'Attack' transferred to other Monsters, achieving the classic threefold Infinite.
It can be seen how powerful Rule Bending is.
Incredible. Pegasus!
(End of Chapter)
"This is a necessary sacrifice!"
A large pot descended from the heavens, covering the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness and squeezing out the power from its body.
Although in the next moment, the Mystical Hot Pot, the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness trapped within it, and the triple Seal of Orichalcos beneath Dartz's feet were enveloped and crushed by the all-erasing flash of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, the conversion was already complete, and a Light Cluster flew out from the shattered Mystical Hot Pot and landed in Dartz's Hand.
Grabbing the Light Cluster, Dartz opened his mouth with a grin and put the Light Cluster into his mouth and swallowed it down. He laughed proudly, "Eat it, and the power surges up."
"From now on, my Life Points," feeling the surging power, Dartz felt exceptionally comfortable, "are Infinite!"
[Dartz: 1000 LP → ∞]
"Following infinite ATK, now it's infinite Life Points..." Looking at Dartz, who was surrounded by the same Darkness as the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness, his one green and one yellow eyes glowing with strange Radiance, Kaiba frowned, helpless against the sudden surge in Dartz's Life Points.
Dartz clearly said that the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness was his Ace Card, his strongest Monster, yet the Set Card on his Back Row wasn't some protective card but the Mystical Hot Pot Hayato liked to use the most. Who would have thought of that?
"To be able to surpass the power of the Serpent God - Avatar of Darkness, I have to applaud your Effort, but unfortunately, your efforts prove exactly that Humans alone cannot Overcome Darkness." Opening his arms, Dartz said confidently, "I am already in an Invincible Position!"
What kind of concept is infinite Life Points? It means no matter what Monster attacks, no matter how high its ATK is, 3000, 5000, 10000, or even 100000, as long as it's not Infinite, it's just a tickle to Dartz.
He could even lightly Taunt after the Attack ends, "Infinite Life Points, Kid."
How can someone with infinite Life Points lose? Dartz is a professional at Duel Monsters, okay?
At this moment, for Yugi and his two Companions to Defeat Dartz, there are only three ways: one is to find a way to make Dartz Deck Out, the second is a Special Victory like Exodia, and the last is to Summon a Monster with Infinite ATK.
But Dartz didn't think they had any Hope of achieving any of the three methods.
Witnessing Dartz's Life Points turn into Infinite before his eyes, Kaiba took a deep breath and said, "Hmph, you escaped a calamity from my Hands, Dartz."
Even facing Dartz with infinite Life Points, Kaiba still had a confident, well-prepared expression, setting all three cards in his Hand on the Back Row. "Set three cards, I End Turn."
[Kaiba: 4000 LP, Hand 0]
[Set Card] X3
"Hoh? Listening to your tone, could it be that you still hold futile expectations about Defeating me, Seto?" Looking at Kaiba who Set three cards at once, Dartz sneered.
"Expectation? Hmph, my dictionary doesn't have such a thing. As long as I want to, the Future in my Hands is 100% certain, including the Present." Kaiba said, glancing at Yugi beside him. "Although it won't be me who plucks the Fruit of Victory, it doesn't matter. Make good use of the cards I left behind, Yugi."
"Kaiba?" Yugi hesitated slightly. After exchanging glances with Kaiba for a few seconds, he finally said, "I understand."
"Leaving cards for the Nameless Pharaoh for the next Turn? Useless, Seto. Let alone just three cards, even if you leave your entire Deck to the Nameless Pharaoh, it's impossible to create any possibility of victory." Dartz said, placing his Finger on his Deck and Drawing a Card. "My Turn, Draw!"
"Then, one of the three possibilities of Victory, I will cut it off with this Card!"
"Continuous Spell Card, Recycling Plant! During each of my Turns' Standby Phase, I can Pay 300 Life Points to Return one non-Monster Card from the Graveyard to the bottom of the Deck. This way, because my Life Points will never be fully Paid, my Deck achieves a different kind of Infinite!"
"Just like that, I End Turn!"
[Dartz: LP ∞, Hand 0]
[Recycling Plant]
Declaring his Turn End, looking at Yugi standing before him, confident that Victory was already in his Hands, Dartz couldn't help but Taunt Yugi before him, "Nameless Pharaoh, are you still going to Struggle, before my Infinite Deck and Infinite Life Points?"
"You should know, the way to Defeat me fundamentally doesn't exist within your Deck. The End awaiting you is only Ruin."
"Rather than that, it's better to Surrender to me now. You can still obtain a peaceful Demise and not suffer Despair and Misfortune."
Hearing Dartz's words, Yugi lowered his head, as if persuaded by Dartz. "I, if I just Give Up the Duel like this, if I Surrender to you, Dartz, can I really welcome a peaceful End?"
"Nyeh heh~ Of course. Compared to Misfortune and Despair, isn't it better to peacefully welcome the End of Humanity?" Dartz said with a Smile. "Come on, quickly Give Up the Duel."
Only to see Yugi raised his Right Hand, slowly reaching towards the Deck on his Duel Disk. As long as he pulled out the Deck, it would mean he had Given Up continuing the Duel.
Heh heh, this is also unavoidable. Even if it's the Nameless Pharaoh, after seeing my Infinite Life Points and Infinite Deck, it's difficult to maintain this futile Duel with Willpower. Dartz sneered in his Heart, watching Yugi's Finger touch the Deck.
The next Instant,
"But, I Refuse!" Suddenly raising his head, Yugi revealed a resolute Expression, and suddenly Drew a Card! "Now, in my Hand, I hold the Future!"
"My Turn, Draw!"
Saying this, Yugi's Arm suddenly swung. The Drawn Card was held between his Fingers, drawing a flashing arc in mid-air.
"Nani?!" Dartz was startled, and immediately revealed an Angry Expression. "You guy, were you just fooling me, Nameless Pharaoh!?"
"As a Soul from Three Thousand Years Ago, the Mastermind who brought the Power of Darkness back to the World, you guy actually dare to defy me, Dartz!?"
"Put away those Deceptive Tricks, Dartz!" Glancing at the Card in his Hand, Yugi looked at Dartz and said, "Although I still haven't recovered my Lost Memory until now, there is one thing I am absolutely certain of, and that is I will absolutely Defeat you!"
"The Future of the World, will be changed by me!"
"Activate Set Card, Pot of the Forbidden! When there are no Monsters on my Field, I Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Normal Monster from my Deck. I Special Summon Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight in Attack Position."
"Then the second Set Card!"
Using the first Set Card Kaiba set, Yugi Searched a Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight from his Deck and placed it on the Field. Then he activated the second Card. The instant the Card was revealed, he was slightly startled.
Because the Card revealed on his Back Row at this moment was surprisingly a Blank Card.
Originally thinking he would see some Powerful Card, but instead saw a Strange Blank Card, this made Joey Wheeler look at Kaiba who Set that Card with a Confused Expression. "What is that Card?"
Although he gained some knowledge and knew that there were all kinds of Cards in the World, even Blank Cards, Joey Wheeler was more concerned about what use or Effect that Card had.
But facing Joey Wheeler who was seeking an Answer, Kaiba said contemptuously, "Hmph, I don't know either."
"Then what are you being Arrogant about! And since you don't know either, what Qualification do you have to look down on me?" Joey Wheeler immediately Ranted, then he realized, "That's not right, where did you get a Blank Card from?"
"I say, Kaiba, are you usually, could it be that you've been secretly Card Printing for yourself?"
"Hmph, mere Commoner, do you think I would be an Idiot like you, who would put unprinted cards into my Deck?" Kaiba crossed his Arms over his chest and said to himself, "That Card is a Card Pegasus made before being taken down by the Doma people. For now, I'll believe that guy's words that that Card has the Power of Saving the World, that's why I put it in my Deck."
"If it's Yugi, he can definitely use the Power of that Card."
"Indeed, I also Believe in Yugi." Following Kaiba in looking towards Yugi, Joey Wheeler said. Then the slow-witted him remembered something. "That's not right, you guy didn't refute that you secretly print cards, right!"
And across from Yugi, Dartz was intimidated by Yugi's Aura for a moment at first, but after seeing the Blank Card Yugi revealed, he revealed a contemptuous Smile. "Huh? What is that, Nameless Pharaoh?"
"And Seto, actually putting that kind of Pointless Card in your Deck. The reason the 'Legendary Dragons' don't have names is because ten thousand Years have passed. What is that Card? A Card without even Card Art, are you trying to make me die of laughter?"
"Heh heh, Sore wa dou kana, who says a Card without Card Art can't Defeat someone?"
Unlike Dartz, who had a contemptuous Expression, the instant that Card on the Field was revealed by Yugi, he felt as if a Voice in his Heart was guiding him, instantly knowing the Power of this Card before him.
"Nameless Card, I can now feel the Power hidden within it," glancing at the Card in his Hand, Yugi took a deep breath and shouted, "First is, sent to the Graveyard by Joey Wheeler, The Claw of Hermos!"
Suddenly, a beam of Light surged from Joey Wheeler's Graveyard. Joey Wheeler was startled. "Uwah!"
Before him, a reddish-brown Giant Dragon spread its Wings. It was surprisingly The Claw of Hermos, representing "Freedom".
"Then, Set on the Back Row by Kaiba, The Fang of Critias!"
The third Card on the Field was also revealed with Yugi's shout, revealing one of the three "Legendary Dragons" with only Card Art and no Card Name. A Giant Dragon covered in Black Armor with gleaming luster manifested before Kaiba.
The Fang of Critias, symbolizing "Wisdom", Descends!
"Lastly, it's the Card in my Hand." While saying this, Yugi raised the only Card in his Hand, revealing Card Art that was also completely blank. "Lend me your Power once again, The Eye of Timaeus!"
"Osu!"
Along with the Card in his Hand being played, like glass shattering, the Appearance of The Eye of Timaeus reappeared on the Blank Card Yugi held. The third "Legendary Dragon" that had been temporarily silent since the Duel with Rafael descended into the World once again!
Located between the two Giant Dragons that appeared earlier, a green Giant Dragon spread its Wings. The Eye of Timaeus, representing "Justice", grandly appears!
And with the gathering of all three "Legendary Dragons", they all roared towards the Sky in unison. Holy Light surged from their bodies, piercing the Temple's Rooftop and shooting straight into the Heavens, disappearing into the clouds. Then it was Lightning descending from the Sky, striking within the Temple!
The overflowing Lightning was absorbed by the Nameless Card Yugi activated. Like laser engraving, the Appearance of all three "Legendary Dragons" was quickly printed on the Card, and next to each of them was a sharp Sword!
"Ultimate Card, Legendary Heart! I Pay 1000 Life Points, then Tribute the Warrior Type Monster Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight on the Field!" Yugi's Fist clenched, and he swung upwards! "Here, release the True Power of the 'Legendary Dragons', fully reveal the Stance of the 'Legendary Dragons'!"
"Oh, roar that pierces through the Years, trace back to the distant Past, awaken from the Source! Appear as Power that surpasses the Impossible, guide me towards Victory!"
"Legendary Knight Hermos!"
"Legendary Knight Critias!"
"Legendary Knight Timaeus!"
The Lightning brought the cards on Kaiba and Joey Wheeler's Duel Disks to Yugi's Duel Disk. The three original "Legendary Dragon" cards disappeared along with Legendary Heart. What replaced them were three brand new Monster Cards.
[Legendary Knight Hermos] [Level 8/Light]
[Warrior Type/Effect]
[2800/1800]
[Legendary Knight Critias] [ATK 2800]
[Legendary Knight Timaeus] [ATK 2800]
Looking at the "Legendary Dragons" that turned into Human Figures, Joey Wheeler widened his Eyes, because he discovered that Legendary Knight Hermos, which transformed from The Claw of Hermos, surprisingly had a face exactly like his own!?
Not only that, Critias and Timaeus, after the other two "Legendary Dragons" turned into Human Figures, were surprisingly exactly the same as their respective Owners — Kaiba and Yugi!
Even, their Voices were also the same —
"Who is calling us! Who is calling our Sleeping Souls!" X3
"It's Freedom!" Hermos, with Joey Wheeler's Appearance, pulled out the Long Sword before him;
"It's Wisdom!" Critias, with Kaiba's Appearance, pulled out his Long Sword and made a sword flourish;
"It's Justice!" Timaeus, who looked like Yugi, held the drawn Sword with both Hands, pointing directly at Dartz.
"Ten thousand Years of regret, how can it be repaid! We are back, Emperor of Atlantis!"
"Is your Life Point Reserve still enough?"
"The Pain received ten thousand Years ago, I'll return it to you now!"
"Ya, Yarou!" Seeing the Enemy made their Eyes red with anger. Seeing the "Legendary Dragons" who destroyed his Plan ten thousand Years ago appear in the Stance Dartz was most familiar with acting in the Real World, Dartz clenched his teeth tightly, his Fists clenched tightly. "Stop being Arrogant there, even you shouldn't think of stopping me!"
"Humanity cannot Overcome the Future of Ruin, and I am immortal! Absolutely!"
"What the Future of Humanity is like is not for you to decide, Dartz." Paying 1000 Life Points, Tributing Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight, and summoning the Legendary Knights to his Field, Yugi said Firmly, "The Future of Humanity will be Pioneered by me and my Companions!"
"Let's go, the Total Attack of the Legendary Knights!"
"Useless, my Life Points are ∞, your Attacks are ineffective against me!"
As Dartz's words fell, only to see Critias (Kaiba) had already rushed before him and swung out the first Attack.
"Clang!"
However, in Dartz's surprised Gaze, the Attack swung by Critias was blocked by the Sword extended by Hermos (Joey Wheeler) who was accompanying him. The Collision between the Slash and the sharp Sword emitted a Crisp Sound.
"Why would Critias Attack Hermos!?" Behind Yugi, Joey Wheeler looked Confused. "Could it be that it's not just me and Kaiba who don't get along, but even Hermos and Critias can't get along? But now is not the time for a Quarrel!"
"Hey, stop fighting!"
Seeing Joey Wheeler thought the two Monsters were quarreling and even wanted to go forward to Break up a fight, Kaiba standing next to Joey Wheeler quickly called out to stop him. "Quiet down, Commoner, can't you Idiot see?"
Looking in the Direction of Kaiba's Finger, Joey Wheeler only then noticed that the Slash swung by Critias was not directly Canceled out after being caught by Hermos, but was Attached to the Holy Sword in the latter's Hand and turned into a beam of Light, just like Syrup hanging on a hawthorn.
And after receiving the Slash from Critias, Hermos shouted loudly and swung the Sword in his Hand, The Light Power on the Sword spread into three beams, returning towards the Direction of Critias!
And Critias also replicated the Action of Hermos before, receiving the Slash and then returning it. The Sword Light between the two formed a single mass in mid-air. For a moment, the scene looked even more like a Quarrel.
And Yugi only then spoke. "Legendary Knight Hermos, symbolizing 'Freedom', possesses the Power of Protection. When any Monster on the Field attacks, he can Transfer the Attack Target to himself."
"Then, the Effect of Legendary Knight Hermos, Absorb Queen's Knight, Jack's Knight, and King's Knight from my Deck, and return the received Attack threefold!"
"Next is the 'Wisdom' Power of Legendary Knight Critias, Absorb Magic Cylinder from my Deck to gain its Power, and Transfer the received Attack to Hermos!"
As the Power continuously transferred, between the facing Legendary Knight Critias and Legendary Knight Hermos, the Light changed Shape, turning into the Symbol of "∞"!
"This is, Infinite Loop!?" Dartz widened his Eyes, saying the Result for Yugi. "Under the endless Transfer, the Power between these two Monsters will continuously Increase, and won't stop even when it reaches Infinite levels!"
"Damn it! But, even if the ATK is increased to Infinite levels, what can you do?"
"To be able to release this level of Power after ten thousand Years, as expected, I can't underestimate you, 'Legendary Dragon'." Dartz Paused, pointing at the two Monsters and saying, "But to achieve this Infinite Combo, Critias and Hermos must maintain a State of Cycle, fundamentally unable to participate in Attacks!"
"Once the Delicate Balance between them is broken, in that case, this Infinite Power will instead fall upon your own head, Nameless Pharaoh!"
Looking at the Arrogant Dartz, Yugi said coldly, "Sore wa dou kana!"
"Dartz, you who have survived from ten thousand years ago, it's impossible for you not to Know one thing, and that is where exactly did the 'Legendary Dragons' come from, and their True Form."
"Because of the Plea For Help from the previous Emperor of Atlantis, the 'Legendary Dragons' came to the Human World. To resist the Fallen Atlantis Civilization, they split into three Giant Dragons, and in the Stance of Knights, led the Spirits who came to the Human World with them to Fight alongside Humans."
"Finally, the three split 'Legendary Dragons' Sealed the Orichalcos God at the Cost of falling into Slumber, and then Revived together today after ten thousand Years, reappearing in the Real World in the Stance of Knights."
Pausing for a moment, Yugi looked at Legendary Knight Timaeus standing before him, holding the Long Sword in his Hand high and brewing with Aura, and said, "But at this moment, the three 'Nameless Dragons' will merge into one again!"
"After Legendary Knight Critias and Legendary Knight Hermos, Activate the Power of Legendary Knight Timaeus, Awaken the True Power contained within him and the other two Knights!"
Along with Yugi's words, the "∞" Symbol between Critias and Hermos expanded and enlarged. Timaeus stood in the very center of the "∞" Symbol, receiving the infusion of this Infinite Power. The Armor on his Body was illuminated Golden.
"Tak!" "Shiozaki!" The other two Legendary Knights raised the Swords in their Hands and rushed towards the Direction of Timaeus. Then the tips of the three Long Swords met.
Golden Radiance shot straight into the Heavens!
"Those who wield Spirit Power, transform into dazzling Light, now reside in the Dragon's Eye! Golden Dragon Knight with eyes of Justice burning fiercely!"
"The Power formed by our Bond will now Pioneer a brand new Future! Obtain Power that surpasses the Infinite!"
"Descend! Amulet Dragon!"
His Cape swung, scattering the shining Light around; his sharp Sword was raised, the sharp Aura of Justice shot straight into the clouds; under the Golden Armor, is the Knight of Victory!
[Amulet Dragon] [Level 10/Light]
[Warrior Type/Fusion/Effect]
[∞/∞]
"Carrying the Name of Love and Truth, Timaeus has arrived!"
Yugi closed his Eyes. The Figures of countless people flashed before his Eyes — Rex, Alister, Rafael, Valon, Kujaku Mai, Joey Wheeler, Tristan , Téa , Keipei, Kaiba, Ji-chan, Marik, Rebecca, Rishid, Ishizu, Hayato.
"The final Direct Attack, from now on, your Fortune is Great Misfortune, Dartz!"
Opening his Eyes and looking at Dartz, who had an Expression of Disbelief, Yugi raised his Right Hand, and Amulet Dragon also synchronized with Yugi's Action, holding the Sword with both Hands above its head.
"Finishing Blow! Rising Dragon Sword!"
Thank you to "I am the Emperor of Atlantis" for the 10000 Points Tip, thank you very much.
Thank you to "user20220317172012234" for the 100 Points Tip, thank you.
There are still two chapters left, will repay slowly (OvO)
Also, I rewatched the Anime and found that the Legendary Knights' Effects are really awesome. They can choose the Target to Absorb Power from Hand, Graveyard, or even Deck, and the Effects can also be strengthened.
For example, absorbing the opponent's Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight, its Effect is not destroyed by ATK 1900 or more. After strengthening, it directly becomes ATK 1900 or more Negated.
Seto's Magic Cylinder is to Transfer the opponent monster's Attack to a Defense Position Monster. After strengthening, it became 'Attack' transferred to other Monsters, achieving the classic threefold Infinite.
It can be seen how powerful Rule Bending is.
Incredible. Pegasus!
