Chapter 351: Can You Even Create Cards and Instantly Defeat Me?

Just like at the start of this Duel, the Vortex of Fusion swallowed Kaiba's three Blue-Eyes White Dragons.

Within a single Turn, Kaiba recycled the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons from his Graveyard back into his Deck, then added them all to his Hand at once, once again gathering the fusion material needed for Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

At the same time, Hayato also knew that it was unlikely Joey Wheeler would be able to use De-Fusion again to break through this top-tier fusion monster.

Although Kaiba, when arrogant, was basically a reckless brute who ignored the enemy's Set Cards and always advocated an F2A Strategy, now that he was completely serious, he probably wouldn't let Joey Wheeler use De-Fusion again.

The figures of the three white dragons appeared within the Vortex. Looking at Joey Wheeler, who had forced it to leave the Field in frustration earlier, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's three heads opened their massive jaws, eager to eliminate Joey Wheeler, who was nothing more than a small insect in its eyes. However, limited by Kaiba having already passed the Battle Phase, and by Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried faithfully blocking in front of Joey Wheeler, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon could only roar a few times as a threat and glare a few times to intimidate Joey Wheeler for now.

"Mediocrity, engrave the shining figure of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon into your mind, and after your defeat, never forget the despair and terror I bring you," Kaiba's mouth curved into a cold sneer. "Compared to your filthy, weak black dragon, Blue-Eyes is the strongest Dragon-Type!"

"Set three cards from my Hand. My Turn ends." Placing three cards from his Hand into the Spell & Trap Zone, Kaiba, with his Hand empty, raised a finger at Joey Wheeler. "In the next Turn, you will face an undeniable defeat!"

[Kaiba: 3000 LP, Hand 0]

[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] [ATK 4500]

[Set Card] X3

The invincible Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon stood tall on the Field for Kaiba. Joey Wheeler nervously swallowed, glancing at the Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried on the Field, and subconsciously asked, "Hey, do you have a way to deal with this monster?"

In the Virtual World constructed by Noah, due to the Deck Master Rules, Joey Wheeler had inadvertently developed the habit of asking his monster questions when he wasn't sure what was happening, including but not limited to card effects, Deck Master abilities, etc.

And Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried had indeed shown independent thinking ability just now. Hearing Joey Wheeler's question, Gearfried spread his hands helplessly. "Come on, I'm just a weak chicken. It was already amazing that I could handle that Cipher Soldier just now."

"If you asked me to handle a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, maybe, but attack a top-tier monster like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon? I can't do it, Boss!"

"This is a professional judgment made by me, a professional commentator—bah, a battle-hardened elite warrior. If I can't do it, I can't do it. Even if you killed me, I couldn't do it!"

"Don't get so worked up." Waving his hand to signal Gearfried to calm down, Joey Wheeler glanced at Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and subconsciously shifted his gaze away. Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, returning on the Field for the second time, was just like its master, completely serious due to the previous encounter. Its six eyes were as wide as searchlights, and its gaze was so piercing it seemed to shoot out lightning.

Taking a deep breath, Joey Wheeler placed his finger on his Deck, calmed himself, and tried to remain composed as he drew his card. "My Turn, Draw!"

The card he drew was Graceful Charity.

"I Activate Spell Card Graceful Charity! I draw three cards from my Deck, then choose two cards from my Hand to Discard." Looking at the cards he drew, Joey Wheeler's eyes lit up. He Discarded two cards from his Hand, one of which was Magical Knight Gearfried, which he had added to Hand last Turn.

The sharp-eyed Kaiba also clearly saw the other monster he sent to Graveyard; it was Summoned Skull, which Joey Wheeler had exchanged with Yugi Mutou.

"Hmph, are you trying to summon that Fiend Dragon - Black Skull Dragon? Although I believe the power of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon will absolutely not lose to that kind of monster, I hate boring struggles, especially from a lackey like you who can't recognize himself."

Saying coldly, as Joey Wheeler sent Summoned Skull to the Graveyard, Kaiba flipped his Set Card in the Backrow. "Activate Trap Card The Lost!"

"From your Graveyard, I will choose one monster and banish it from the game!"

In front of Kaiba, the phantom image of the monsters in Joey Wheeler's Graveyard appeared one by one. His gaze swept over monsters like Warrior Lady of the Wasteland and Rogue Mercenary Force without stopping. Kaiba glanced at Red-Eyes Black Dragon, then sneered, pointing a finger at Summoned Skull—next to Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

"If you were to revive this monster and then chatter about 'Bond' or something noisy, I would find it very annoying. I'll just banish this card, which Yugi Mutou exchanged with you, from this Duel."

"As for Red-Eyes Black Dragon? Hmph, a mere 2400 attack points is completely insignificant."

"Can you even create cards and instantly defeat my invincible Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon?"

On Joey Wheeler's Field, a large pit appeared with the activation of Kaiba's The Lost. Summoned Skull, which he had just sent to Graveyard, went off course and didn't enter the Graveyard at all. It was caught by the suction force emanating from the large pit and was banished from the game while struggling.

Looking at the banished Summoned Skull, and the Dragon's Mirror in his Hand, Joey Wheeler was dumbfounded. He had indeed been thinking of using Dragon's Mirror to summon Fiend Dragon - Black Skull Dragon.

But now, he only had one Dragon's Mirror in his Hand and one Onimetsu no Ma Ken - Burning Soul, which he planned to equip to Fiend Dragon - Black Skull Dragon to increase its attack. What should he do?

Just as Joey Wheeler was lost in confusion and planned to change Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried to Defense Position to minimize the damage he would take later, he suddenly remembered something.

In the previous elimination round to advance to the Top 4, after his Duel with Mai Valentine, regarding how he had seemingly out of nowhere evolved the original Black Skull Dragon into Fiend Dragon - Black Skull Dragon, Hayato seemed to have unintentionally said something back then.

It was something like...

"White Dragon brings victory, while Black Dragon can bring possibility." At that time, Hayato's expression was a bit subtle. "Compared to Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes is more likely to produce some powerful boss monsters, although those boss monsters usually appear in other Decks."

Although he didn't quite understand what duel monsters like "Dark Steel Dragon Big Brother" or "Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon" were that Hayato mentioned back then, he thought—

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon, is it a monster that symbolizes possibility?"

Looking at the Dragon's Mirror in his Hand, Joey Wheeler gritted his teeth and resolutely slammed it onto his Duel Disk. "Although I don't know if this will work, I'm counting on you, Red-Eyes!"

"If you truly are the black dragon that brings possibility, as Hayato said, please answer me!"

"Activate Spell Card Dragon's Mirror! From my Graveyard, I banish Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Magical Knight Gearfried from the game and Fusion Summon a brand new monster!"

As Joey Wheeler activated Dragon's Mirror, from his Graveyard, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried were actually sucked into the Dragon's Mirror that rose in Joey Wheeler's Backrow and were banished from the game!

A dark figure flashed across the tall mirror surface. Its scarlet eyes seemed to emit red light, drawing a red line.

"Souls of LIGHT Attribute and DARK Attribute intertwine! Clad yourself in blades, cut down and tear apart the LIGHT Attribute!"

At Joey Wheeler's call, Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon, now clad in armor and sharp blades, looking completely different from before, broke through the mirror's limitations and appeared. Facing the tall and sturdy Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, this brand new Red-Eyes monster roared back without showing weakness!

"Roar!"

[Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon] [7☆/DARK]

[Dragon-Type/fusion/effect]

[2800/2400]

"He can even summon a new monster?" Kaiba looked at the Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon that Joey Wheeler summoned with some surprise. After Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried, Joey Wheeler had actually pulled out another duel monster he had never seen before.

But looking at Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon's attack, Kaiba still didn't take it seriously.

"Even if you create cards, there's a limit. Do you think you can challenge my invincible Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with a monster of this level? Even if there are more lackeys, it's completely meaningless!"

"Hmph, Kaiba, since you look down on my monsters so much, then let me show you the power they have when they work together!" Joey Wheeler activated the last card in his Hand. "Equip Spell Card Onimetsu no Ma Ken - Burning Soul! Equip it to Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon!"

Looking at Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon on the Field for Joey Wheeler, and the Onimetsu no Ma Ken - Burning Soul equipped to the armor on Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon, Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried complained, "The name of this Equip Card is a bit too unpleasant, isn't it? Who would dare to be comrades with the guy using this card?"

While saying this, Gearfried turned his head to look at Joey Wheeler, only to find that Joey Wheeler had turned his head away, seemingly avoiding Gearfried's gaze.

Steel Magician Knight, clad in sturdy armor forged from magic steel, suddenly felt a sense of crisis and subconsciously shivered, confirming with Joey Wheeler, "Hey Boss, that Equip Spell Card, the name is just for show, right?"

"Uh, what was that saying again?" Joey Wheeler stammered, trying to placate Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried. "Ahem, it's all for the greater good, this is a necessary sacrifice, Gearfried!"

Under Steel Magician Knight's disbelieving eyes, Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon stabbed him through the chest from behind with a sword. All of his magic power was sucked into the magic sword of Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon.

Just before being sent to Graveyard, Steel Magician Knight didn't resent Joey Wheeler for selling him out, but instead glared fiercely towards the audience seats.

"That look just now, it felt like that monster had a lot of resentment," Mai Valentine sighed, saying this while looking at Hayato.

Tristan also couldn't help but sigh. "Joey Wheeler would actually do something like that."

He also looked at Hayato.

Even Yugi Mutou, although he didn't say anything, also glanced at Hayato.

Hayato was made a little strange by their gazes. "Hey, wasn't it Joey Wheeler who tributed Steel Magician Knight? Why are you all looking at me!"

"Aniki, don't you have any idea about this in your heart?! It's because you usually—" Ojama Yellow's voice came from Hayato's Deck, but just as it poked its head out, it was pushed back into the Deck by Rainbow Kuriboh.

"The effect of Onimetsu no Ma Ken - Burning Soul can be used once per Turn. By tributing one monster on the Field besides the equipped monster, the equipped monster's attack is increased by the tributed monster's original attack until the End of the Turn."

This was Joey Wheeler's first time selling out his own monster, mimicking Hayato's usual dueling habits. Feeling a certain amount of apology towards Steel Magician Knight, Joey Wheeler didn't know that his action had just been deemed by Yugi Mutou and the others as him being led astray by Hayato. He was currently explaining the effect of Onimetsu no Ma Ken - Burning Soul to Kaiba.

Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon's attack soared after it absorbed Steel Magician Knight's power, and its size also increased significantly compared to before.

[Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon] [ATK 2800 → 5500]

"Enter Battle Phase! I will use Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon to attack your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on the Field! Take this attack, Kaiba!"

Joey Wheeler said something harsh, then continued, "And because of Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon's own effect, when a Red-Eyes monster declares an attack, I can equip one Warrior-Type monster from my Graveyard to Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon as an equip card that increases its attack by 200 points!"

And the monster chosen by Joey Wheeler as the equip card was none other than Steel Magician Knight - Gearfried.

"Even after death, I can't rest in peace. You're something else, Boss," the phantom image of Steel Magician Knight appeared beside Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon. "This kind of exploitation should get you hung from a lamppost!"

"But, who told you you're the Boss?"

As Steel Magician Knight chanted a chant, the power on Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon's body expanded even further!
