Elemental Hero Great Tornado, Summon!
The hero descended slowly from mid-air, with the cape behind him fluttering like a battle flag. The storm swirled and transformed with his gestures, as if countless obedient spirits were spinning at his command.
[Elemental Hero Great Tornado, Attack Power 2800]
"When Great Tornado's effect is successfully Fusion Summoned, the attack power and defense power of all monsters on the opponent's field are halved!" Youyu said.
The hero snapped his fingers, and the turbulence representing the wind element was like a wild horse unleashed. The fierce wind seemed ready to flip the roof of the arena, and even the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons reinforced by exoskeletons couldn't escape.
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 1500]
[Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Attack Power 4000 → Attack Power 2000]
"An impressive response!" The gold-medal commentator Mitsuzawa Daichi couldn't help but praise, "As expected of the Duel King, cleverly using the Elemental Hero's fusion ability to weaken the powers of two divine-level monsters in one go!"
"Humph, a trivial trick." Kaiba scoffed, "But since the number of monsters on your field has changed, a Battle Recall has occurred! Then I'll have Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon attack again!"
The light sphere brewing in the mouth of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon briefly disappeared, then became even hotter and more dazzling! The dragon's roar echoed across the sky, its head slowly swinging as numerous tiny parts deformed and folded.
"At this moment, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon's effect is triggered once more!" Kaiba said solemnly, "At the moment of the attack declaration, the form of all monsters on the opponent's field changes, and their attack and defense power become 0!"
The dragon's entire body armor activated, emitting a slight roar from the engines! A tyrannical force field erupted centered on the blue steel dragon, a domain bound by absolute power!
[Elemental Hero Absolute Zero, Defense Power 0 → Attack Power 0]
[Elemental Hero Great Tornado, Attack Power 2800 → Defense Power 0]
The Chaos Dragon's target remained Absolute Zero. The terrifying blue shockwave easily tore the white hero's body apart, his flesh evaporating in an instant, and the tattered white cloak fluttered in the bluestorm.
[Youyu, LP 4000 → LP 2500]
Jūdai clenched his fist from the sidelines: "Great! If Absolute Zero is defeated, his effect 'Absolute Zero' will instantly wipe out all monsters on the opponent's field..."
"Fool." The ghostly Yubel reminded, crossing her arms behind him, "Those two dragons won't be easily taken down by that."
Indeed, the icy waves left behind by Absolute Zero rushed towards the opponent's field, but the two dragons merely let out deep growls, and the vast frost instantly vanished.
"Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon cannot be destroyed by card effects." Kaiba clenched his fist powerfully, "With every duel, I become stronger than before! Such strategies don't work on me anymore, Youyu↑!"
Youyu nodded: "President's strength is extraordinary, his improvement speed is beyond ordinary."
After all, saying a few good words won't hurt, but what if the president is in a good mood and gives him a raise?
"Humph, save your flattery, take my move!" Kaiba waved his hand, "Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, attack 'Elemental Hero Great Tornado'! Chaos Burst!"
His pupils contracted as the arcs and luminescence radiating from the steel armor of the Chaos MAX Dragon reflected in them, appearing vicious like a villain.
"Your final moment has come, Youyu↑!"
The spectators began to regain their composure.
"Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, I remember that monster's effect is... when attacking a Defense Position monster, it not only inflicts piercing damage but also doubles the battle damage!" Mitsuzawa Daichi exclaimed.
Chaos MAX Dragon's remaining attack power was 2000, and Great Tornado had been forced into Defense Position by "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon," and its defense power had been forcibly reduced to 0!
With double piercing, this strike would directly deal 4000 damage, insta-killing in an instant!
"Mamma mia!" Cronos continued to shout, "Even with all attack power halved, can it still complete an instant kill in one turn?"
Manjome was also in awe: "This is... the teacher's true strength..."
Everyone was stunned.
It turned out that dueling... could be this overwhelmingly powerful!
This is Kaiba Seto, pursuing the ultimate power, sweeping any opponent with crushing force.
This legendary duelist was in a completely different dimension from them!
So, would the Duel King... be insta-killed in one turn just like that?
Youyu calmly revealed a card from his hand and slotted it into the graveyard.
"The effect of 'Sphere Kuriboh' in my hand." Youyu said, "During the opponent's monster's attack declaration, discard this card from your hand, and that attacking monster changes to Defense Position."
Pausing for a moment, he added: "This effect does not target, so even Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon's resistance can't stop it."
The destructive impact of the Chaos MAX Dragon swept forward, colliding with the small golden spherical Kuriboh. The chaos stopped abruptly, and the powerful Chaos MAX Dragon was bound by seemingly irresistible forces, forced to fold its wings and land.
[Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Attack Power 2000 → Defense Power 0]
With just one card, a seemingly insignificant small Kuriboh, the mighty offensive of the Chaos MAX Dragon was resolved on the spot!
Furthermore, the MAX Dragon was forcibly turned to a defensive stance——yet its defense power was only 0. This meant that in the next turn, it would be almost defenseless and could be easily taken down!
The surrounding players began to cheer.
"Sphere Kuriboh is mighty!"
"Indeed, a duel with the President wouldn't be complete without Kuriboh."
"After all, it's a lifelong rival..."
It's interesting to note. President Kaiba had been plagued by Kuriboh from three thousand years ago to today, with all sorts of Kuribohs, Clear Kuribohs, Sphere Kuribohs in different disguises, yet he never had the intention of 'joining them if he couldn't beat them,' nor did he ever print something like 'Blue-Eyes Kuriboh' together with Kisara while staying at home.
Perhaps this is the pride of the strong...
"Humph, it's this guy again?" Kaiba hmphed, "Very well, if this is all it takes to defeat you, you're not worthy of being acknowledged as my opponent.
Then, I set one card face-down, and the turn ends!"
With Kaiba's end-of-turn declaration, everyone in the audience couldn't help but exhale.
"Unbelievable, this is only the first turn..." Asuka said, looking at the two steel dragons on the field.
This was the thought in the minds of most students and teachers.
In the usual perception of most duelists, isn't the first turn just for normal summoning one monster——at most set one card——and then directly passing?
But these two were swapping offense and defense so frequently in just this one turn, it felt like even the smallest mistake would shatter everything instantly!
In normal duels, 4000 life points seemed quite a lot, and even passing an empty field for one turn and taking two hits was manageable.
Yet in this duel between the two, 4000 life points seemed as fragile as a piece of paper that could be easily pierced!
Are we really playing the same game as the big shots?
"My turn, draw." Coming to Youyu's turn, "First, the Magic Card 'Take Over 5', discarding the top five cards from the deck to the graveyard."
Five cards were sent to the graveyard in succession, and then he revealed a divine card that had just been released with the Linked World 2.0 update.
"Magic Card 'Legacy of a Hero'!" Youyu said, "When you have two or more level 4 or higher heroes in your graveyard, draw three cards from your deck!" (original effect)
The spectating card players spat blood on the spot.
"What the hell? They have this card?"
"With this card, my Hero deck would take off, right?"
Immediately some players searched on card dictionary search engines and found... damn, it really exists in the card pool!
However, in accordance with K Consortium's routine, when such overpowered things get physical card versions, they inevitably get nerfed.
Legacy of a Hero, Magic Card, return two monsters that require 'Hero' as Fusion Material from your graveyard to the deck, then draw three cards from your deck. (physical card effect)
Although the effect hasn't changed, the activation cost has been crippled, making this card pretty much useless...
