"I pay 2000 Life Points to Activate the effect of [Demise, King of Armageddon]!"
[Bakura: 4000 → 2000 LP]
Paying half of his Life Points as the Cost to Activate [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s effect with extreme boldness, Bakura didn't feel any heartache. Instead, he said confidently, "Compared to the Power of [Blue-Eyes], mine is clearly closer to the so-called 'absolute Power', Seto Kaiba!"
"[Demise, King of Armageddon]'s effect Activates! All other Cards on the Field are Destroyed!"
The black demon king raised the double-edged axe in his hand. A large amount of black magical energy visibly gathered on one side of the axe blade. A red light flashed in [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s green eyes, and then he slammed the giant axe heavily onto the ground!
"You!"
"Make!!"
"Them!!!"
"Kneel!!!"
Three consecutive heavy strikes completely released the magical energy on the axe blade. A huge explosion occurred from the depths of the earth. The terrifying destructive power instantly Destroyed both of Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] on the Field and sent them to the Graveyard!
Although the impact of the explosion didn't cause any actual Effect Damage, Kaiba couldn't help but step back half a step from the shockwave.
Bakura used his slender, fair hands, which looked like a woman's, to hold down his hood to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Without waiting for the smoke and dust covering Kaiba's Field to dissipate, he laughed smugly. "Hmph hmph, now your Field is completely empty, Seto Kaiba. Next is [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s Direct Attack."
"Hmph, that's not necessarily true," Kaiba said coldly, looking at [Demise, King of Armageddon], which had raised its axe blade again. "Before you spout such big words, look clearly at the situation on the Field, Idiot."
"Huh?"
"What is that monster?"
Bakura looked doubtfully at Kaiba's Field. Amidst the smoke and dust, a bearded warrior wearing light purple dragon scale armor sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He remained unfazed despite [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s oppressive pressure.
"[Mausoleum Guardian]," Kaiba explained with a cold face. "It's the Card I sent to the Graveyard with [Foolish Burial] during my Main Phase 2 last Turn. While [Mausoleum Guardian] is present in the Graveyard, if a Face-up Position Dragon-Type Monster other than itself is sent to the Graveyard by effect or Destroyed by Battle and sent to the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard onto the field."
[Mausoleum Guardian] [Level 4/DARK]
[Dragon-Type/Effect]
[0/2100]
"Don't think that your monster [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s effect can Destroy everything. My glorious path to the Future will not be cut off by a monster like that."
As Kaiba spoke, he added a Card from his Graveyard to his hand. "Because the monster sent to the Graveyard by effect destruction was my [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], and the monster sent to the Graveyard that triggered [Mausoleum Guardian]'s effect was a Normal Monster, I can Add one Dragon-Type Normal Monster from my Graveyard to my Hand."
"You added [Blue-Eyes] from the Graveyard to your hand? Hmph hmph, but without Tributes, what good is having [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]?" Bakura sneered and drew a card. "And if just one monster is needed to stop me, it's not enough, Seto Kaiba."
"I Activate the Spell Card [Preparation of Rites]! This Card's effect is to Add one Ritual Monster with a Level of 7 or lower from my Deck to my Hand, then I can choose one Ritual Spell Card from my Graveyard and Recycle it." Bakura said, choosing a monster from his Deck and revealing it. "The Ritual Monster I searched from my Deck is [Awakening Warrior Cú Chulainn], Level 4. Then I Recycle [End of the World] from my Graveyard."
Kaiba slightly frowned. Although he didn't use Ritual Monsters much, he remembered very clearly that the Ritual Spell Card needed to Ritual Summon [Awakening Warrior Cú Chulainn] is [Proof of Awakening], and Bakura himself just said that [End of the World] is the Card used to Summon [Demise, King of Armageddon].
Once again, as if seeing through Kaiba's mind, Bakura suddenly spoke. "Are you wondering why I would Recycle this seemingly useless Ritual Spell Card, [End of the World]?"
"The answer is, of course, that I have another [Demise, King of Armageddon] in my hand!" Smiling smugly, Bakura revealed all three cards in his hand. There was indeed another [Demise, King of Armageddon] present in his hand. "Then I will begin the second Ritual Summon."
"Because of [End of the World]'s effect, if I want to Ritual Summon [Demise, King of Armageddon], the Level of the monsters used as Tributes must be exactly Level 8."
As soon as Bakura added this sentence, it made Kaiba even more confused.
The only monster in Bakura's hand that could be used as Tribute for a Ritual Summon was the [Awakening Warrior Cú Chulainn] he just added to his hand. Its Level is only 4, which does not meet the Level requirement for [End of the World]. And besides that, there was indeed a monster on Bakura's Field that could be used for a Ritual Summon, but that was precisely the [Demise, King of Armageddon] Bakura Summoned last Turn.
Is this guy planning to Tribute his own [Demise, King of Armageddon] to Ritual Summon another [Demise, King of Armageddon]? Tributing himself to himself?
What kind of Odin is that?
As Bakura inserted the card into the Spell & Trap Zone, [End of the World] activated. As if the sky and earth were collapsing, the ground suddenly split open, revealing an altar that had appeared before. From Bakura's hand and Graveyard, a beam of light flew out from each, transforming into four shining Level Stars and converging into the altar.
Huh? In the Graveyard?!
Kaiba looked in surprise at the phantom image of [Ritual Raven], which had appeared once before, appearing on Bakura's Field.
"[Ritual Raven]'s effect is, while he is present in the Graveyard, if I Activate a Ritual Summon, I can Banish [Ritual Raven] from the Graveyard as the Tribute requirement to fulfill the Level requirement for the Ritual Summon." Bakura said as he sent the cards from his hand to the Graveyard and also took out the [Ritual Raven] from his Graveyard, placing it inside his cloak.
The card in his hand was slapped onto the Duel Disk. "There are two Level 4 monsters. If the Tributes are sufficient, come forth and serve me! [Demise, King of Armageddon]!"
Just like last Turn, Bakura's second [Demise, King of Armageddon] appeared on his Field. Two identical pitch-black demon kings stood side-by-side, holding giant axes, inspiring awe and fear.
"Now entering my Battle Phase! I will first use the first [Demise, King of Armageddon] to Attack [Mausoleum Guardian]!" Bakura's voice revealed a hint of madness. "Clear the final obstacle for me, End Slash!"
The giant axe blade fell. Even though [Mausoleum Guardian] wore sturdy armor made of dragon scales, it was ultimately difficult to withstand this Attack. It couldn't even hold out and was instantly Destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. However, fortunately, [Mausoleum Guardian] was Special Summoned onto the field in Defense Position, so Kaiba did not take Battle Damage from this.
After Destroying [Mausoleum Guardian], [Demise, King of Armageddon] was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, it fixed the giant axe into the ground using the other half of the blade, which was not stained with blood, freeing its hands and holding them above its head in a loose grip. Behind it, the fiercely burning Soul Fire gathered in its hands, transforming into a card.
"[Ritual Raven] can be said to be a monster that exists specifically for Ritual Summoning. Not only can it substitute for a Tribute during a Ritual Summon, a monster Ritual Summoned using it has the Ability to draw a card from the Deck after Destroying a monster by battle."
Bakura explained, drawing a card. "I drew this card. How lucky. But I have to wait until Main Phase 2 to Set it."
"However, after [Mausoleum Guardian] was Destroyed, your Field is completely without any barriers, Seto Kaiba." Sneering, Bakura waved his hand again and commanded, "Second [Demise, King of Armageddon], let the opponent feel the pain. The second End Slash!"
The giant axe in the tall Fiend's hands was raised above its head. Under the simulation of KaibaCorp's Virtual Projection System, that pressure felt as real as if it were true, and Kaiba indeed had no means to defend himself at this moment. However, even in this situation, Kaiba still wore a cold face and said without any panic:
"Hmph, that's all there is to it."
[Kaiba: 4000 → 1600 LP]
Even though he took 2400 points of Direct Attack, Kaiba remained as composed as if nothing had happened. This made Bakura, who was expecting Kaiba to show a pained expression, somewhat annoyed.
As if in return for Bakura's constant "Mind Reading" behavior before, Kaiba also replied, "Although I can't see your face, you're probably thinking right now why I didn't show a difficult expression, right?"
"Hmph, Idiot, it's just this level of Attack. Do you really think you've posed a threat to me?" A cold smile appeared on Kaiba's lips. "There's a limit to arrogant thoughts. In my eyes, your strength can't even compare to an amateur. Your so-called offensive and threats are nothing more than child's play."
"I was originally wondering if you were also hiding your strength, which is why I Dueled you. If your strength is only this much, then I've decided this Duel can end immediately."
"In the Next Turn, I will grant you complete Defeat!"
Hearing Kaiba's Declaration, Bakura completely couldn't understand where Kaiba's confidence came from. After glancing at his hand, he immediately inserted it into the Spell & Trap Zone and said with a somewhat sinister tone, "That truly is the familiar, annoying arrogance, Seto Kaiba."
"If you can do it, go ahead and try. Anyway, all you use are [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]'s three tricks. I Set a Card, End Turn."
[Bakura: 2000 LP, Hand 0]
[Demise, King of Armageddon] [ATK 2400]
[Demise, King of Armageddon] [ATK 2400]
[Set Card]
Regarding Kaiba's Declaration, Bakura was dismissive, because he put himself in Kaiba's shoes for a moment and realized that what Kaiba would use, and could only use, was nothing more than the Special Summon of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], nothing more than the variations between [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], and [Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]. At most, he might add the [Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon] he used in the Duel City Finals.
Ignoring for now whether Kaiba can Summon these monsters, in Bakura's opinion, the appearance of either [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] or [Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon] would not be enough to defeat him in one Turn. After all, he had two [Demise, King of Armageddon] on his Field serving as barriers.
However, [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] and [Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], both with 4500 Attack, were the only existences that could pose a threat to Bakura, because if they were to Declare an Attack on a [Demise, King of Armageddon] in Attack Position, 4500 Attack attacking 2400, they could deal exactly 2100 points of Damage, which is more than Bakura's Life Points.
However, even if it's them, it doesn't matter. Bakura thought, glancing at the card he had Set in his Backrow.
He had Set an Invincible Trap Card! With this Card protecting him, Victory was undoubtedly already within his grasp!
Kaiba, unaware of what Bakura was thinking in his heart at this moment, took a deep breath, placed his finger on his Deck, and sharply drew a card, saying with full vigor, "My Turn, Draw!"
The card held between his fingers flipped over, revealing its green border. The card Kaiba drew was the Normal Spell Card [Trade-In].
Kaiba, who believed he would one day become the World's greatest Duelist, naturally also understood the concept of "Card Advantage" proposed by Hayato. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, in reality, he also learned from Yugi Mutou and Hayato and put many card drawing/cycling cards into his Deck, such as [Pot of Greed] and [Graceful Charity]. Of course, the tragically limited [Card of Demise] was also included, and [Card of Demise] was certainly not missing.
At the same time, due to the characteristics of the Ace Monsters in Kaiba's own Deck, he also included a copy of [Trade-In].
This Card's effect is: Discard one Level 8 monster from your Hand, then draw two cards. Compared to the simple and brutal [Pot of Greed], it has a certain Cost, but it can also be used in conjunction with [Monster Reborn] to Revive the discarded monster.
However, the problem Kaiba was facing now was that he did indeed have a Level 8 monster in his Hand, but that was precisely his Ace Monster, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon].
Should he really Discard [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]?
This question existed in Kaiba's mind for only a second before he himself gave an answer: "For this kind of question, there is only one answer..."
"For Victory, I am willing to give up [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!" Mercilessly sending the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] card to the Graveyard, Kaiba Activated [Trade-In]. "Discarding the Level 8 [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my Hand, I Activate the Spell Card [Trade-In]! Draw two cards from my Deck!"
Looking at the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] sent to the Graveyard, Kaiba placed his finger on his Deck, preparing to draw, and muttered, "Don't resent me, [Blue-Eyes]. This is a necessary Sacrifice. Your Sacrifice will not be in vain. Now, my Deck, respond to me and create the Future!"
"Draw!"
[Bakura: 4000 → 2000 LP]
Paying half of his Life Points as the Cost to Activate [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s effect with extreme boldness, Bakura didn't feel any heartache. Instead, he said confidently, "Compared to the Power of [Blue-Eyes], mine is clearly closer to the so-called 'absolute Power', Seto Kaiba!"
"[Demise, King of Armageddon]'s effect Activates! All other Cards on the Field are Destroyed!"
The black demon king raised the double-edged axe in his hand. A large amount of black magical energy visibly gathered on one side of the axe blade. A red light flashed in [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s green eyes, and then he slammed the giant axe heavily onto the ground!
"You!"
"Make!!"
"Them!!!"
"Kneel!!!"
Three consecutive heavy strikes completely released the magical energy on the axe blade. A huge explosion occurred from the depths of the earth. The terrifying destructive power instantly Destroyed both of Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] on the Field and sent them to the Graveyard!
Although the impact of the explosion didn't cause any actual Effect Damage, Kaiba couldn't help but step back half a step from the shockwave.
Bakura used his slender, fair hands, which looked like a woman's, to hold down his hood to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. Without waiting for the smoke and dust covering Kaiba's Field to dissipate, he laughed smugly. "Hmph hmph, now your Field is completely empty, Seto Kaiba. Next is [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s Direct Attack."
"Hmph, that's not necessarily true," Kaiba said coldly, looking at [Demise, King of Armageddon], which had raised its axe blade again. "Before you spout such big words, look clearly at the situation on the Field, Idiot."
"Huh?"
"What is that monster?"
Bakura looked doubtfully at Kaiba's Field. Amidst the smoke and dust, a bearded warrior wearing light purple dragon scale armor sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. He remained unfazed despite [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s oppressive pressure.
"[Mausoleum Guardian]," Kaiba explained with a cold face. "It's the Card I sent to the Graveyard with [Foolish Burial] during my Main Phase 2 last Turn. While [Mausoleum Guardian] is present in the Graveyard, if a Face-up Position Dragon-Type Monster other than itself is sent to the Graveyard by effect or Destroyed by Battle and sent to the Graveyard, it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard onto the field."
[Mausoleum Guardian] [Level 4/DARK]
[Dragon-Type/Effect]
[0/2100]
"Don't think that your monster [Demise, King of Armageddon]'s effect can Destroy everything. My glorious path to the Future will not be cut off by a monster like that."
As Kaiba spoke, he added a Card from his Graveyard to his hand. "Because the monster sent to the Graveyard by effect destruction was my [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], and the monster sent to the Graveyard that triggered [Mausoleum Guardian]'s effect was a Normal Monster, I can Add one Dragon-Type Normal Monster from my Graveyard to my Hand."
"You added [Blue-Eyes] from the Graveyard to your hand? Hmph hmph, but without Tributes, what good is having [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]?" Bakura sneered and drew a card. "And if just one monster is needed to stop me, it's not enough, Seto Kaiba."
"I Activate the Spell Card [Preparation of Rites]! This Card's effect is to Add one Ritual Monster with a Level of 7 or lower from my Deck to my Hand, then I can choose one Ritual Spell Card from my Graveyard and Recycle it." Bakura said, choosing a monster from his Deck and revealing it. "The Ritual Monster I searched from my Deck is [Awakening Warrior Cú Chulainn], Level 4. Then I Recycle [End of the World] from my Graveyard."
Kaiba slightly frowned. Although he didn't use Ritual Monsters much, he remembered very clearly that the Ritual Spell Card needed to Ritual Summon [Awakening Warrior Cú Chulainn] is [Proof of Awakening], and Bakura himself just said that [End of the World] is the Card used to Summon [Demise, King of Armageddon].
Once again, as if seeing through Kaiba's mind, Bakura suddenly spoke. "Are you wondering why I would Recycle this seemingly useless Ritual Spell Card, [End of the World]?"
"The answer is, of course, that I have another [Demise, King of Armageddon] in my hand!" Smiling smugly, Bakura revealed all three cards in his hand. There was indeed another [Demise, King of Armageddon] present in his hand. "Then I will begin the second Ritual Summon."
"Because of [End of the World]'s effect, if I want to Ritual Summon [Demise, King of Armageddon], the Level of the monsters used as Tributes must be exactly Level 8."
As soon as Bakura added this sentence, it made Kaiba even more confused.
The only monster in Bakura's hand that could be used as Tribute for a Ritual Summon was the [Awakening Warrior Cú Chulainn] he just added to his hand. Its Level is only 4, which does not meet the Level requirement for [End of the World]. And besides that, there was indeed a monster on Bakura's Field that could be used for a Ritual Summon, but that was precisely the [Demise, King of Armageddon] Bakura Summoned last Turn.
Is this guy planning to Tribute his own [Demise, King of Armageddon] to Ritual Summon another [Demise, King of Armageddon]? Tributing himself to himself?
What kind of Odin is that?
As Bakura inserted the card into the Spell & Trap Zone, [End of the World] activated. As if the sky and earth were collapsing, the ground suddenly split open, revealing an altar that had appeared before. From Bakura's hand and Graveyard, a beam of light flew out from each, transforming into four shining Level Stars and converging into the altar.
Huh? In the Graveyard?!
Kaiba looked in surprise at the phantom image of [Ritual Raven], which had appeared once before, appearing on Bakura's Field.
"[Ritual Raven]'s effect is, while he is present in the Graveyard, if I Activate a Ritual Summon, I can Banish [Ritual Raven] from the Graveyard as the Tribute requirement to fulfill the Level requirement for the Ritual Summon." Bakura said as he sent the cards from his hand to the Graveyard and also took out the [Ritual Raven] from his Graveyard, placing it inside his cloak.
The card in his hand was slapped onto the Duel Disk. "There are two Level 4 monsters. If the Tributes are sufficient, come forth and serve me! [Demise, King of Armageddon]!"
Just like last Turn, Bakura's second [Demise, King of Armageddon] appeared on his Field. Two identical pitch-black demon kings stood side-by-side, holding giant axes, inspiring awe and fear.
"Now entering my Battle Phase! I will first use the first [Demise, King of Armageddon] to Attack [Mausoleum Guardian]!" Bakura's voice revealed a hint of madness. "Clear the final obstacle for me, End Slash!"
The giant axe blade fell. Even though [Mausoleum Guardian] wore sturdy armor made of dragon scales, it was ultimately difficult to withstand this Attack. It couldn't even hold out and was instantly Destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. However, fortunately, [Mausoleum Guardian] was Special Summoned onto the field in Defense Position, so Kaiba did not take Battle Damage from this.
After Destroying [Mausoleum Guardian], [Demise, King of Armageddon] was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, it fixed the giant axe into the ground using the other half of the blade, which was not stained with blood, freeing its hands and holding them above its head in a loose grip. Behind it, the fiercely burning Soul Fire gathered in its hands, transforming into a card.
"[Ritual Raven] can be said to be a monster that exists specifically for Ritual Summoning. Not only can it substitute for a Tribute during a Ritual Summon, a monster Ritual Summoned using it has the Ability to draw a card from the Deck after Destroying a monster by battle."
Bakura explained, drawing a card. "I drew this card. How lucky. But I have to wait until Main Phase 2 to Set it."
"However, after [Mausoleum Guardian] was Destroyed, your Field is completely without any barriers, Seto Kaiba." Sneering, Bakura waved his hand again and commanded, "Second [Demise, King of Armageddon], let the opponent feel the pain. The second End Slash!"
The giant axe in the tall Fiend's hands was raised above its head.

However, even in this situation, Kaiba still wore a cold face and said without any panic:
"Hmph, that's all there is to it."
[Kaiba: 4000 → 1600 LP]
Even though he took 2400 points of Direct Attack, Kaiba remained as composed as if nothing had happened. This made Bakura, who was expecting Kaiba to show a pained expression, somewhat annoyed.
As if in return for Bakura's constant "Mind Reading" behavior before, Kaiba also replied, "Although I can't see your face, you're probably thinking right now why I didn't show a difficult expression, right?"

[Bakura: 2000 LP, Hand 0]
[Demise, King of Armageddon] [ATK 2400]
[Demise, King of Armageddon] [ATK 2400]
[Set Card]
Regarding Kaiba's Declaration, Bakura was dismissive, because he put himself in Kaiba's shoes for a moment and realized that what Kaiba would use, and could only use, was nothing more than the Special Summon of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], nothing more than the variations between [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], and [Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]. At most, he might add the [Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon] he used in the Duel City Finals.
Ignoring for now whether Kaiba can Summon these monsters, in Bakura's opinion, the appearance of either [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] or [Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon] would not be enough to defeat him in one Turn. After all, he had two [Demise, King of Armageddon] on his Field serving as barriers.
However, [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] and [Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], both with 4500 Attack, were the only existences that could pose a threat to Bakura, because if they were to Declare an Attack on a [Demise, King of Armageddon] in Attack Position, 4500 Attack attacking 2400, they could deal exactly 2100 points of Damage, which is more than Bakura's Life Points.
However, even if it's them, it doesn't matter. Bakura thought, glancing at the card he had Set in his Backrow.
He had Set an Invincible Trap Card! With this Card protecting him, Victory was undoubtedly already within his grasp!
Kaiba, unaware of what Bakura was thinking in his heart at this moment, took a deep breath, placed his finger on his Deck, and sharply drew a card, saying with full vigor, "My Turn, Draw!"

Of course, the tragically limited [Card of Demise] was also included, and [Card of Demise] was certainly not missing.
At the same time, due to the characteristics of the Ace Monsters in Kaiba's own Deck, he also included a copy of [Trade-In].
This Card's effect is: Discard one Level 8 monster from your Hand, then draw two cards. Compared to the simple and brutal [Pot of Greed], it has a certain Cost, but it can also be used in conjunction with [Monster Reborn] to Revive the discarded monster.
However, the problem Kaiba was facing now was that he did indeed have a Level 8 monster in his Hand, but that was precisely his Ace Monster, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon].
Should he really Discard [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]?
This question existed in Kaiba's mind for only a second before he himself gave an answer: "For this kind of question, there is only one answer..."
"For Victory, I am willing to give up [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]!" Mercilessly sending the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] card to the Graveyard, Kaiba Activated [Trade-In]. "Discarding the Level 8 [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my Hand, I Activate the Spell Card [Trade-In]! Draw two cards from my Deck!"
Looking at the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] sent to the Graveyard, Kaiba placed his finger on his Deck, preparing to draw, and muttered, "Don't resent me, [Blue-Eyes]. This is a necessary Sacrifice. Your Sacrifice will not be in vain. Now, my Deck, respond to me and create the Future!"
"Draw!"
