# Chapter 358: God Hand Crush - Shockwave
"I activate the Spell Card **Armed Dragon Lightning**! I choose one **Armed Dragon** monster on my field and increase its Attack by its Level x 100. I choose **Armed Dragon Thunder LV7**, increasing its Attack by 700."
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV7] [ATK 2800 → 3500]
All of Kaiba's monsters on the field were in Defense Position. Since the Attack of Hayato's monsters on the field was sufficient, he only used the effect of **Armed Dragon Lightning** during the Main Phase 2.
Although choosing **Armed Dragon Thunder LV10** would maximize the effect of **Armed Dragon Lightning**, considering his Life Points were only 100, Hayato felt it was better to boost the weaker monster on his field—**Armed Dragon Thunder LV7**, whose Attack was two hundred points lower than **Blue-Eyes White Dragon**.
Glancing at his hand, Hayato drew two cards from it. "I Set two cards from my hand. At the same time, **Slifer the Sky Dragon**'s Attack decreases accordingly. My turn ends here."
[Hayato: 100 LP, Hand 3]
[Slifer the Sky Dragon] [ATK 5000 → 3000]
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV10] [ATK 3000]
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV7] [ATK 3500]
[Set Card] x2 **Spiral Charge** **Armed Dragon Lightning**
"Roar~" **Slifer the Sky Dragon** let out a somewhat dissatisfied roar at Hayato. Its power originated from Hayato's hand. Because Hayato Set two cards, its Attack dropped by a full 2000 points.
As its power weakened, **Slifer the Sky Dragon**'s body also shrank. Although it could still occupy most of the Duel Tower's top platform, its length was significantly shorter than before, when it could wrap around the tower.
After experiencing the feeling of possessing great power, the feeling of losing power is never too comfortable. However, Hayato didn't pay much attention to **Slifer the Sky Dragon**'s thoughts.
Because he noticed that even though only the last **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** remained on the field and his Life Points were only 300, Kaiba was looking at Hayato with great excitement, his eyes filled with burning fighting spirit.
"My turn, drawing cards!"
With great momentum, Kaiba drew a card from his deck and looked at the arrogant **Slifer the Sky Dragon** overlooking him on Hayato's field. "Hmph, the strongest dragon. **Slifer the Sky Dragon**, crowned with the name of a god, is indeed worthy of that title."
"Since you've already summoned a god, as a return gesture, I must summon a god too!"
"I activate the Spell Card **Pot of Avarice**! I return five monster cards from my graveyard to the deck—two **Blue-Eyes White Dragon**, **Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**, **The Trickster**, and **Dark Balancer**—and draw two cards."
After recycling the monsters from his graveyard and shuffling the deck to mix the card order, Kaiba drew two cards from his deck and continued, "The final battle, and **Blue-Eyes** didn't come to my hand? No matter, I Normal Summon **Dragon Master Knight** in Attack Position!"
From the card Kaiba played on his Duel Disk, **Dragon Master Knight**, adorned with dragon bone decorations and dressed like a noble, appeared.
"Don't forget the presence of **Slifer the Sky Dragon**, Kaiba." Hayato raised an eyebrow upon seeing **Dragon Master Knight** appear. "Because a monster was summoned on the field, the effect of Thunder Force is mandatory activation!"
**Slifer the Sky Dragon** looked at **Dragon Master Knight** on Kaiba's field with disregard. Its mouth opened, instantly charging up and spitting out a bolt of lightning towards **Dragon Master Knight**. Just then, Kaiba played a card:
"Before I've squeezed every last drop of value from **Dragon Master Knight**, I won't let you destroy it!"
"Quick-Play Spell Card **Forbidden Dress**!"
Just before **Slifer the Sky Dragon**'s Thunder Force hit **Dragon Master Knight**, a white robe appeared on **Dragon Master Knight**'s body, followed immediately by the direct hit of the Thunder Force!
The Thunder Force instantly stripped **Dragon Master Knight** of all its power, but the wail of **Dragon Master Knight** being destroyed did not sound.
"The effect of **Forbidden Dress** is to decrease a monster's Attack by 600 points and make it unaffected by card effects and unable to be destroyed by effect."
Hearing Hayato state the effect of **Forbidden Dress**, Kaiba snorted coldly. "Hmph, because **Dragon Master Knight** was already the effect target of **Slifer the Sky Dragon** when **Forbidden Dress** was activated, the 'unaffected by card effects' ability couldn't activate. But at least it avoided the subsequent 'Attack reduced to 0 and destroyed'."
[Dragon Master Knight] [Level 4 / DARK]
[Spellcaster Type / Effect]
[1200 / 1100 → 600 / 1100 → 0 / 1100]
Although **Dragon Master Knight**'s appearance was elegant, noble, mysterious, and handsome, the fact that its Type was Spellcaster Type instead of Kaiba's main Dragon-Type showed that it was another tool person.
"I discard a card and activate the Spell Card, **Dragon Ravine**!"
As expected, as Kaiba sent a card to the graveyard, **Dragon Master Knight** dramatically swept its cape, and from within, it suddenly pulled out its "magic tool"—an electric guitar!?
It was clearly a Spellcaster Type monster dressed like a medieval fantasy lord, so why would **Dragon Master Knight** use an electric guitar?!
Despite being two existences with completely different art styles, **Dragon Master Knight**, holding the guitar, began to play with extreme skill. And surprisingly, it was playing "AC/DC"'s "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," and playing it quite well.
Kaiba showed no surprise at **Dragon Master Knight** playing "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap," making one wonder if this was **Dragon Master Knight**'s musical taste or Kaiba's. "The effect of **Dragon Ravine** is to add up to two Dragon-Type monsters with 3000 or more Attack and 2500 or less Defense from my deck to my hand."
"How is that different from adding two **Blue-Eyes** to your hand?" Hayato quipped.
As **Dragon Master Knight**'s performance reached the climax of the song, behind **Dragon Master Knight**, two phantom images of **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** appeared and flew into Kaiba's hand.
Seeing Kaiba drawing a card from his hand, Hayato could swear on **Slifer the Sky Dragon**'s head that with **Dragon Master Knight** on the field and two **Blue-Eyes** in hand, that card of Kaiba's was definitely **The Flute of Summoning Dragon**.
As expected, Kaiba placed the drawn card into his Duel Disk's Spell & Trap Zone and activated it. "Because **Dragon Master Knight** is on the field, I can use the Spell Card **The Flute of Summoning Dragon**! Both players can Special Summon up to two Dragon-Type monsters from their hand!"
Hayato spread his hands helplessly. "That card came at an incredibly convenient time for you. I don't have a single Dragon-Type monster in my hand."
"Hmph, so much for your 'Pure Dragon Deck'!" Kaiba retorted to Hayato, drawing the two **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** he had just added to his hand. "Then what I will summon are the two **Blue-Eyes** in my hand!"
**Dragon Master Knight** produced a horn shaped like a dragon's head from its cape, took a deep breath, and began to blow.
However, due to the limitations of the instrument, **Dragon Master Knight** couldn't produce any variations with the horn, wearing a look of dissatisfaction.
On Kaiba's field, two **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** flew in accompanied by the low sound of the flute. At the same time, Kaiba's hand of seven cards at the start of the turn was consumed down to the last three.
Two more precise Thunder Force attacks followed. Kaiba's two **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** didn't even have time to let out a couple of roars to show themselves before being struck down by **Slifer the Sky Dragon**, their Attack deducted by 2000 points.
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK 3000 → 1000]
"I activate the Spell Card **Double Summon**! This turn, I can perform a second Normal Summon." After playing a card, Kaiba glanced at one of his hand cards, revealing a confident smile. "Are you ready, Kobayashi Hayato?"
"Witness the greatness of the God of Destruction!"
The blue-bordered card in his hand was raised high. The three **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** on the field dissipated into particles, and a towering blue giant, as if propping up the heavens and shaking the earth, appeared!
"I offer the three **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** on my field as Tribute! Descend, turn all things into skeletons with infinite power! **Obelisk the Tormentor**!!"
Just as Kaiba had said before, as a return gesture for Hayato's "Go All Out" summon of **Slifer the Sky Dragon**, he also summoned the second of the Three Egyptian God Cards he possessed, **Obelisk the Tormentor**!
Seeing the appearance of **Obelisk the Tormentor**, **Slifer the Sky Dragon** wouldn't go easy just because it was an acquaintance. A Thunder Force was directly blasted over, a greeting to an old friend.
And **Obelisk the Tormentor** was not some lackey that would be instantly destroyed by Thunder Force. It threw a punch, directly shattering the Thunder Force in mid-air, its body barely shaken. Of course, this was just the surface. Under the restrictions of the Duel Rules, even **Obelisk the Tormentor** couldn't be immune to the effect of **Slifer the Sky Dragon**, a God Card of equal standing.
[Obelisk the Tormentor] [ATK 4000 → 2000]
"Although the god's protection makes it immune to being destroyed by monster effects other than those of the Divine Attribute, and monster effects of Level 10 or higher only last for one turn against a god," Hayato looked at Kaiba, showing a smug smile. "But the weakening I need is enough for just this one turn."
"Now **Obelisk the Tormentor**'s Attack cannot destroy any monster on my field. As long as it's my next turn, **Slifer the Sky Dragon**, with its Attack increased to 4000, will be destroyed along with **Obelisk the Tormentor**. Your life is like a candle in the wind, Seto!"
"Hmph, Sore wa dou kana!"
Hearing Hayato's taunt, which sounded like he was setting a death flag, Kaiba replied with "That's not necessarily true," and flipped over the last card in his hand to reveal it to Hayato. "My winning equation is far more perfect than you imagine!"
"I activate the Equip Spell Card **Mark of the Rose**! Activate when there are 3 monster cards with the same name in my graveyard! Special Summon one of those monsters with the same name to my field and equip this card to it!"
Kaiba waved his hand. "Fight for me once more, **Blue-Eyes White Dragon**!"
Accompanying the soaring of the giant dragon was the ever-present Thunder Force. Seeing the Attack of the **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** equipped with **Mark of the Rose** reduced to only 1000 points, Hayato's gaze was surprisingly serious.
Not just Hayato, everyone watching this final battle understood Kaiba's plan.
"Besides **Obelisk the Tormentor**, Kaiba has gathered two monsters on the field..."
Joey Wheeler's hand couldn't help but clench, his palm sweating profusely from the extreme tension. In the semifinals against Kaiba, he had lost to the very move Kaiba was about to use.
Tristan glanced at Joey Wheeler and patted his shoulder. Although Joey Wheeler looked relieved at the end of the duel, Tristan, who knew Joey Wheeler's thoughts inside and out, could tell at a glance that he was actually suppressing his frustration and didn't want to worry those who cared about him.
"Is Kaiba going to use the move that defeated Joey Wheeler, 'Soul Energy MAX'?" Yugi Mutou also frowned, putting himself in Hayato's position and thinking about how to break the stalemate.
'Infinite Attack, I'm afraid even Hayato will have difficulty blocking this move,' Dark Yugi's voice came from within the Millennium Puzzle. 'Although **Slifer the Sky Dragon** has the strongest suppression power among the Three Egyptian God Cards, when it comes to pure destruction power, **Obelisk the Tormentor** is indeed stronger.'
And Kaiba looked deeply at Hayato. "What a pity. As you can see, this is my victory, Kobayashi Hayato!"
"You won't have another turn. This duel will end this turn, my turn!"
"I offer **Dragon Master Knight** and **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** on my field as Tribute—"
Watching Kaiba Tribute the two monsters on his field, the white dragon and the tool person absorbed into **Obelisk the Tormentor**'s grip, Hayato opened his Set card in the Backrow. "I chain to **Obelisk the Tormentor**'s effect activation! I activate my Set card!"
"Muda da! Trap Cards are invalid against a god!" Kaiba was annoyed that Hayato interrupted him.
Hayato just smiled. "Of course I know that, but I didn't say the Set card I'm activating is targeting your **Obelisk the Tormentor**."
"Trap Card **Desert Sunlight**! All monsters on my field are changed to Face-Up Defense Position!"
As one of the two Set cards in Hayato's Backrow was revealed, a phantom image of a desert enveloped Hayato's field. **Armed Dragon Thunder LV7** and **Armed Dragon Thunder LV10** were both affected by the card effect and changed to Defense Position.
[Armed Dragon Thunder LV7] [ATK 3500 → DEF 1000]
[Armed Dragon Thunder
"I activate the Spell Card **Armed Dragon Lightning**! I choose one **Armed Dragon** monster on my field and increase its Attack by its Level x 100. I choose **Armed Dragon Thunder LV7**, increasing its Attack by 700."
