[Masked Hero Divine Wind, ATK 2700 → ATK 4600]
"Attack power 4600!" Judai clenched his fist, "It exceeds the power of the Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!"
Youyu didn't hesitate and immediately issued the attack command, "Masked Hero Divine Wind, attack the Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!"
The Masked Hero soared on a green whirlwind, feet together, trailing a swirling tornado behind him, charging with unstoppable force toward the giant White Dragon in a flying kick!
"Hmph, foolish." Kaiba's lips curled, his hand swung grandly, "The same technique won't work on me anymore! Take this, You↑Yu↓! The roar of my soul!
Trap Card - Soul Strike!
When your own Life Points are below 4000, during a battle between monsters, pay your Life Points until they are halved, and until the end of the turn, add all parts of your Life Points below four thousand to the attacking monster's attack power!"
[Kaiba, LP 900 → LP 450]
"Haaahhh!" Kaiba was enveloped in a projection of blue flames, shouting hoarsely, as if turning his soul into pure power charged into the White Dragon's body.
[Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, ATK 4500 → ATK 8050]
The three mouths of the Ultimate Dragon simultaneously opened, a white energy cyclone brewing, meeting the Masked Hero diving down from the sky, readying a decisive counterattack!
"Then I'll activate the Quick Magic 'Duel Fusion' from my hand!" Youyu declared, "During a Fusion Monster's battle, increase its attack power by the opponent's monster's attack power amount!"
[Masked Hero Divine Wind, ATK 4600 → ATK 12650]
"Attack power... twelve thousand six hundred fifty!?"
Everyone was stunned.
An attack power over ten thousand, a number many Duelists might never encounter in a lifetime of card playing. This visual shock, reflected on the monster, is an overwhelming sense of oppression that even 3D imaging would be enough to make one shiver!
Masked Hero Divine Wind has regained the advantage. His feet had already landed on the incandescent impact unleashed by the White Dragon, tearing apart the devastating light beam as if the torrent struck rock and split into two.
"Hmph, is it really this trick again?" Kaiba's gaze darkened, "I admit I once lost to this card... but that's in the past now."
"Oh?" Youyu's eyes flickered.
"I said, I am now completely different from the past." Kaiba shouted, "This time will be the true conclusion between us!
Reveal the Set Card, Trap - Covering Fire!"
Youyu: "!"
Darn, the President actually pulled out the trap card he used to trick him when they first met?
"When your own monster is attacked, its attack power can increase by the attack power of another monster on the field!" Kaiba sneered, "Of course, you should be quite familiar with this effect, right?"
Youyu: "..."
"Therefore, the Ultimate Dragon's attack power will increase by the Neo Ultimate Dragon's attack power amount!"
Asuka said, "Neo Ultimate Dragon's attack power was doubled by Youyu's 'Enlargement'... it's nine thousand points!"
The gold medal commentator Mitsuzawa also added, "The Duel King's trap turned out to have an adverse effect..."
[Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, ATK 8050 → ATK 17050]
"Mama mia!" Cronos almost jumped up, "Attack power seventeen thousand!?"
"Hahaha!" Kaiba laughed, "Can you withstand this attack power, You↑Yu↓!?"
Youyu: "..."
"This will end it!"
Kaiba's eyes revealed wild joy, as if the thing he had pursued for many years would finally be within his grasp.
"Don't rush, President." Youyu smiled, "Did you forget? Because of the Field Magic 'Temple of the Kings', the trap I set on the field this turn can be activated within this turn."
Kaiba: "!"
This guy... does he have another trap card!?
"Activate the Set Card!" Youyu raised his hand, "Trap Card - Duel Fusion! When a Fusion Monster is battling, both players take damage equal to the combined attack power of their attacking monsters!" (Animation effect)
The entire audience almost stood up simultaneously.
"Self-destruction!?"
"Masked Hero Divine Wind's attack power is 12650, Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon's attack power is 17050... total damage is twenty-nine thousand seven hundred!"
Could it be that the outcome of this duel will be... a draw!?
The trap effect activated, Masked Hero and Ultimate Dragon's clash erupted with powerful lighting effects and smoke. Everyone was blinded by the bright screen, the explosive impact causing ear-ringing dizziness, leaving them unable to see anything.
Mitsuzawa climbed out from under his chair, "How... did it go?"
Manjome squinted his eyes hard against the strong light, "Who won?"
The smoke gradually cleared.
The first figure emerging from the billowing black smoke was President Kaiba Seto.
[Kaiba, LP 450]
Manjome's pupils contracted.
Mr. Kaiba... won!?
As the smoke cleared, everyone finally saw the field in front of him. In front of President Kaiba, the last Set Card was revealed.
Counter Trap - Barrel Behind the Door!
Reflect the effect damage you received back to your opponent.
Kaiba's gaze was fierce.
He was determined to win this battle, resolved to step on Youyu through this duel to reach the throne he had never touched!
A draw is unacceptable!
So this was his final move, the final counterattack. The damage was reflected back, and Youyu was hit by fifty-nine thousand four hundred explosive damage, with no doubt of his defeat...
But then Kaiba's pupils contracted slightly, his breath almost stopped.
[Youyu, LP 1150]
His Life Points also remained unchanged.
Kaiba's gaze then fell on the trap revealed by Youyu due to the effect of "Temple of the Kings".
"Really dangerous, President." Youyu exhaled deeply, "Luckily, I activated this before you used 'Barrel Behind the Door'... otherwise, I might really have been defeated."
Kaiba recognized that card... certainly recognized it, because it was originally his card, snatched by Youyu from the Kaiba Group's deck.
Trap Card - Enhanced Counter. During a battle step between one's own monsters, nullify the battle and effect damage one receives, and add that damage value to the attack power of a monster on one's field during the Battle Phase.
In the movie "Dark Side of the Dimension", when President Kaiba dueled against Humanoid Atem, he used Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to attack Humanoid Atem's Black Magician, being reflected by Humanoid's trap "Dimensional Reflector" for 4500 damage, which Kaiba nullified with this "Enhanced Counter", increasing Neo Ultimate Dragon's attack power to 9000.
From the start, Youyu did not intend to fight to the end. Before activating "Duel Fusion", he had already initiated this trap.
Kaiba never expected that this time, he would fall due to his own card.
[Masked Hero Divine Wind, ATK 12650 → ATK 72050]
[Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, ATK 17050]
The entire scene fell into a brief and eerie silence.
Mitsuzawa swallowed hard, his voice hoarse and unlike himself, "Attack power... seventy thousand!?"
"Battle continues." Youyu said, "Masked Hero Divine Wind, continue the attack."
A battle with a massive disparity, without any suspense. Masked Hero Divine Wind's flying kick shattered the White Dragon's ray completely, piercing through the dragon's body, the white brilliance sprayed like blood.
[Kaiba, LP 450 → LP 0]
