"Duel!" x2
[Kaiba, LP 4000]
[Youyu, LP 4000]
The news of Youyu and Kaiba's duel spread quickly across the whole island.
Leaders, teachers, students, various staff, and support personnel from the academy all flocked to the dueling arena after hearing the news.
Even some teachers who were in the middle of classes decided temporarily to release their students from class and headed together with them to the venue to watch the duel.
This is a legendary-level duel!
Even within the legendary tier, both sides are the top of the top!
Ordinary people normally don't have the chance to witness a match of this caliber, and any duelist wouldn't miss the chance to watch such a spectacle live.
The island's players were also extremely concerned—though they had seen the two duel before, that was the 1.0 version—meaning it was six years ago.
Who knows what level they have reached now?
"It's my turn to go first." Youyu randomly got the first move, "Draw a card. I summon 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman'!"
[Elemental Hero Bubbleman, Attack Power 800]
"If Bubbleman is successfully summoned and there are no other cards on my field, draw two cards from the deck." (Anime effect)
Youyu drew two cards and added them to his hand, then took out another two cards from his hand.
"Magic Card 'Fusion'! Fuse 'Elemental Hero Featherman' from my hand with the Water Attribute 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' on the field.
Fusion condition is an Elemental Hero plus a Water Attribute monster! Fusion Summon!
From the abyss of extreme cold emerges—
——Elemental Hero Absolute Zero!"
The icy blast exploded, ice crystals swept across the ground, and the pure white body emerged from the ice, bathed in a diamond-like dazzling brilliance.
[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero, Attack Power 2500]
As soon as Absolute Zero appeared, it instantly triggered a commotion in the arena. Many people took out their portable devices to take photos and record.
"Absolute Zero Hero!"
"The strongest Elemental Hero owned by the legendary Duel King!"
"..."
"Set one card facedown, turn end." Youyu said.
"Hmph, is it still that guy?" Kaiba sneered, "I've already seen through your tricks!"
After dueling Youyu so many times, Kaiba was no stranger to such a boss-level Elemental Hero like Absolute Zero. Having been field-cleared many times, he naturally developed his own counter strategy.
"That may not be the case, President." Youyu smiled.
Kaiba squinted his eyes: "My turn!"
This time, he publicly challenged Youyu with great fanfare, because he believed this match would be different from every other time in the past!
He had recently acquired a new power—his strongest power obtained through scientific research. This time he believed would be his moment of triumph!
He wanted to crush the detestable You↑yu↓ underfoot in front of everyone's eyes!
"I activate the Magic Card 'The Melody of Awakening Dragon' from my hand!" Kaiba said coldly, "Discard one card, add up to two Dragon-Type monsters with Attack Power over 3000 and Defense less than 2500 from the deck to the hand."
Kaiba discarded one card, and two cards materialized in his hand as pale blue data streams.
Though Kaiba's design of "completely replacing cards with data" hadn't been widely adopted, within his own Duel Disc, real cards were completely replaced by data. The cards he used in duels came from the central database of Kaiba Company and were materialized into card form through virtual projections.
"I add these two Dragons from the deck to my hand…'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon', 'Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon'!"
Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon has an Attack Power of 3000, Defense Power of 0, and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon has an Attack Power of 4000, Defense Power of 0, fulfilling the search conditions of 'The Melody of Awakening Dragon'.
"Ritual Magic 'Advanced Ritual Art' activates!" Kaiba shouted, "Send Normal Monsters from the deck to the graveyard until their levels equal the total level of the Ritual Monster to be summoned, and Ritual-Summon the Ritual Monster from the hand!
I send the level eight 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the deck to the graveyard! Ritual Summon!
Gaining the Power of Chaos, the light dragon that shatters everything—
——Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Ritual Summon!!!
Dragon roars seemingly from beyond the void, with a body wrapped in metal armor gleaming faint blue under its brilliantly-lit surfaces, wings and head moving with metallic grating sounds.
Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Summon!
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
But Kaiba didn't stop: "Next, activate the Ritual Magic 'Chaos Form' from my hand! Sacrifice material monsters from hand or field until their levels equal the level of the Ritual Monster to be summoned, and Ritual-Summon the 'Chaos' Ritual Monster from your hand!"
Pausing, he added in a deep voice: "Furthermore, when using 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' as Ritual Material, you can remove 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the graveyard from play instead of sacrificing it!"
The 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon', just sent accurately to the graveyard from the deck, quickly reappeared and transformed into data streams emitting pale blue light at Kaiba's fingertips, then dissipated.
"Ritual Summon!" Kaiba shouted, "The form of the extremely destructive Chaos Light Dragon—
——Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Summon!!!
The stage shook as if the world was splitting open, the tiles in the dueling arena cracked under the impact of the 3D holographic effect. The science-fiction dragon with a blue steel body landed with a crash, surrounded by countless blue electric snakes, like an army under command.
Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Summon!
[Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
The audience gasped in amazement.
Summoning two super ace monsters in the first round!
Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, either one alone could tear through more than ninety percent of duelists' decks, and for the viewers, these beasts were only seen in dreams.
Yet that Kaiba Seto summoned two such monsters in one turn!
"It's unbeatable!" a excitedly waved player cheered at the big White Dragon.
"Damn, President is awesome, pulling two big dragons using a single White Dragon as a sacrifice precisely searched for at the start!"
"And he even discarded White Dragon from the deck…"
Indeed, President hasn't been idle these years!
"This time, I'm different from the past." Kaiba clenched his fist, "Prepare for my Soul Attack, You↑yu↓! Today, this will be the end of our rivalry!
Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, attack 'Elemental Hero Absolute Zero'!"
Chaos Dragon emitted sword-like blue radiance all over, a rolling blue energy ball formed in its mouth, its metallic neck moving, as if about to launch the radiant ball from its mouth!
"At that moment, the effect of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!" Kaiba shouted, "When Chaos Dragon declares an attack, change all opponent's monsters' battle positions, then all their attack and defense points become 0!"
Electrifying flows erupted from chaos dragon, seeming to dance like choreography! Sparks were everywhere, as countless chains seemingly bound the hero's form. Absolute Zero's limbs were shackled, its body trembled as it was pinned to the ground, unable to move.
[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero, Attack Power 2500 → Defense Power 0]
"Additionally," Kaiba sneered, "when Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon attacks a Defense Position Monster, if its attack power exceeds its defense power, it inflicts piercing damage!"
Teachers and students exclaimed again.
"Mamma Mia, doesn't that mean whenever this monster attacks, it always deals 3000 damage, Norne!" Professor Chronos exclaimed.
"Not just that." Principal Samejima folded his fingers together and said, "President Kaiba's 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon' and 'Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon' both have top-tier immunity abilities in the Duel Monster Realm. They can't be targeted by effects, nor can they be destroyed by card effects."
"Mamma Mia." Chronos envisioned himself facing the President, couldn't help but take out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "Is this the true power of a Legendary Duelist? It's truly terrifying, Norne."
"Activate Set Card!" Youyu swept his hand, "Trap Card - Necro Fusion! Remove Fusion Material monsters in the graveyard from play for Fusion Summon!
I fuse 'Elemental Hero Bubbleman' from the graveyard with Wind Attribute 'Elemental Hero Featherman'! Fusion Summon——
——Elemental Hero The Great Tornado!"
