"It's my turn!"
President Haima wastes no time, immediately organizing a counterattack.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Dark Core' from my hand!" Kaiba discards a card to the graveyard, "By discarding a card from my hand, I can remove one monster on the opponent's field from the game!"
"I'll remove 'Destiny Hero Plasma' from the game!"
This is a card that President Haima revealed in the movie "Pyramid of Light," a powerful Magic Card with a violent removal effect, even at the cost of one card in the early environment.
The Destiny Hero Plasma, lacking magic resistance, is clearly not adept at handling such trouble. A pitch-black Energy Core quickly unfurls and swallows the Destiny Hero. Plasma emits a deep growl, struggling intensely but ultimately being dissolved into nothingness within the dark matter.
Simultaneously, the Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon attached to Plasma is also liberated. The White Dragon transforms into a blue phantom with a high-pitched roar, then into a beam of blue light shot into the graveyard area of Kaiba's Duel Disc.
"Next, activate the Magic Card 'Monster Reincarnation'!" Kaiba says, "All cards in my field and hand return to the deck to shuffle, and then I draw five new cards."
The Dragon Magician on the field dissipates, and all cards in Kaiba's hand transform into data streams that disappear. The data materializes into five new cards that eject from his deck.
President Haima draws five cards, quickly scanning them: "Magic Card 'Magic Book of Pot,' both players draw three cards."
He then immediately retrieves a card that had previously gone to the graveyard.
"The effect of 'The White Stone of Ancients', discarded to the graveyard by Dark Core, activates," he declares solemnly, "Banish 'The White Stone of Ancients' from the game, and return the 'Blue-Eyes' monster from the graveyard to my hand."
"Return to my hand once again, 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon'!"
From the sidelines, Judai exclaims, "He's gotten that troublesome dragon back to his hand again..."
"Then I'll reveal the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand again," President Haima raises his voice, "Special Summon the 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' from my hand!"
The dragon's silhouette flashes, blue light like countless sharp swords breaking the earth apart, the white dragon spiraling into the sky, showering everything with radiant white brilliance!
[Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, ATK 3000]
"Are you ready, You↑yu↓? I already said, today will be the end of our battle!" Kaiba's voice is hoarse, "Once again, activate the effect of 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon'! Once per turn, destroy one monster on the opponent's field!"
"Destroy 'Masked Hero Divine Wind'!"
The Alternative White Dragon swings its head, an endless blue brilliance gathers, an overwhelming torrent of a flickering electric ball blasts out!
"Divine Wind cannot be destroyed by battle, but that's another matter with Alternative White Dragon's effect." The professional commentator Mitsuzawa Daichi continues to broadcast the battle situation, "Mr. Youyu is in danger now."
Youyu raises his arm: "Trap activated—Interdimensional Matter Transporter! I can exclude one monster on my field from the game until the end phase!"
"I'll remove 'Masked Hero Divine Wind' from the game!"
Dimensional fluctuations, a special mechanical device appears, and with a spatial distortion, Divine Wind is transmitted to the other side of the dimension. As a result, the Alternative White Dragon's effect loses its target, and the overwhelming energy sphere screams past the audience seats, disappearing without a trace.
"Hmph, avoiding temporarily to save your monster? A meaningless move, because you don't have another turn, You↑yu↓!"
He immediately plays the next card.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Polymerization'!" he declares, "Fusing the two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand with the 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' on the field—when the Alternative White Dragon is present, it can replace 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' for Fusion Summon.
So I fuse the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons! Fusion Summon!
Breaking the shackles of time and space, the strongest, most ultimate dragon in history—
—Arise, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!!!"
The three White Dragons merge into one in mid-air, their three heads emerging from the brilliance, the magnificent radiance covering that gigantic body shattering as a high-pitched dragon's roar echoes, a reverence comparable to a deity descends upon the field.
[Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, ATK 4500]
The audience is almost boiling.
"There it is! That legendary ace of Kaiba Seto, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
"And it's the Neo Ultimate Dragon, possessing a triple-shot power that can destroy everything!"
Manjome, hands gripping the metal railing in front, his fingers tremble slightly with force. He gazes at President Haima with admiration in his eyes, fantasizing about one day standing in that field himself and becoming a person like his teacher.
A duelist who can truly dominate a duel with absolute strength!
4500 attack points, capable of delivering a triple strike. Such terrifying destructive power is practically an emotionless reaper in a four-thousand LP environment, ordinary duelists would not even dare to imagine facing such a terrifying entity.
But Kaiba knows the person before him is no ordinary duelist.
The figure he has pursued for many years, the pinnacle of the Duel World, he knows can't be defeated so easily.
"Witness the new heights I've reached with the Blue-Eyes, the ultimate power!" Kaiba remarks coldly, "This is the new strength we reserved to take you down!"
Youyu: "?"
What the heck, President, did you print something secretly without me noticing again?
Kaiba, meanwhile, lays down the next card.
"Activate the second Magic Card from my hand... 'Dragon's Mirror'! Exclude the Fusion Material in the graveyard from the game to Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster!"
"I'll remove the two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons' and 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' from my graveyard and fuse them again!"
Kaiba's voice grows hoarse, his right hand raised high, shouting "Haaah!" as if he's printing cards.
In a moment, Youyu sees the apparition of Kisara, the Maiden with Eyes of Blue, appearing by Kaiba's side, her body emanating an incredibly dazzling white radiance. That blinding yet gentle light merges with the data streams radiating from Kaiba's Duel Disc, coalescing into his hand, nurturing a brand-new card!
Youyu is dumbfounded.
Dang!
You two are printing cards in front of me, is that appropriate?
But no matter how one looks at it, that's how the President printed it, and that card was soon slammed onto his Duel Disc.
The entire Duel Disc's system begins to cheer! The system is near overload, three beams of light burst from the ground into the sky! The phantoms of three dragons spiral up, interweaving and gradually merging into one.
The light, akin to a volcanic eruption, reveals a dragon clad in silvery-white armor emerging, swinging its long tail, each joint of its spine producing a crisp metallic sound as it moves, wings scattering silver light, its posture beautiful and dignified, instilling fear in mortals daring not to gaze upon it directly from its lofty height.
Youyu's mouth twitches.
President, this is... overdoing it...
"The souls of the dragons merge to reveal the ultimate form, reigning over everything—
—Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, Fusion Summon!!!"
