Chapter 505: Wow, I wonder what President Kaiba's Set card could be?
"ROAR!" x3
After the power of 【Fusion】 faded, the gigantic three-headed white dragon spread its wings, blotting out the sky and sun. Its ferocious draconic heads looked down upon Judai, who was surrounded by three 【E·HERO】 monsters.
【Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon】【Level 12/LIGHT】
【Dragon/Fusion/Effect】
【ATK 4500/DEF 3800】
"The power created by combining three 【Blue-Eyes】 can surpass even the gods! Bow before Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!" Kaiba raised his hand with a savage grin, pointing at Judai. "If Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon exists in the Extra Deck, Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon can attack three times during one Battle Phase! Your monsters cannot protect you!"
"Now, I enter my Battle Phase!"
Neither Hayato, Yugi, nor Judai, who was facing Kaiba, found anything wrong with Kaiba's declaration. However, Yusei, also watching from the sidelines, was exceptionally surprised by Kaiba's overly confident action of ignoring Judai's Set cards.
"He's just entering the Battle Phase like that!?"
Yusei looked Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon up and down. He couldn't believe that such a monster, which practically screamed "power offense," could possess resistance to Spell/Trap Cards in addition to its immense ATK and triple attack capability.
Puzzled, Yusei turned his head towards Hayato, seeking an answer.
However, Hayato simply shook his head at Yusei. "Puzzled by Kaiba's confidence? Why not just keep watching, Yusei."
Facing the imposing aura of Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, Judai's expression remained calm. Indeed, the three Set cards in his back row were not mere decorations. After Kaiba declared the start of the Battle Phase, his hand hovered near a button on his Duel Disk, ready to activate one of the Set cards at any moment.
"Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon has 4500 ATK. It would be bad if you managed to attack three times, Mr. Kaiba." Judai calculated the maximum damage Kaiba could inflict.
On his field were E·HERO Absolute Zero with 2500 ATK, E·HERO Sunrise with 3100 ATK, and E·HERO Shadow Mist in Defense Position. If Judai didn't use any card effects, the three attacks from Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon could inflict a total of 3800 battle damage.
But that was only if Judai didn't activate any cards.
"That E·HERO Sunrise's effect probably isn't limited to just searching a card when Summoned and gaining ATK based on Attributes. Since you claim it has the power to create miracles, its strength must surely be more than that."
Although directly declaring the Battle Phase might seem utterly reckless, Kaiba calmly analyzed the situation before attacking.
"Gaining ATK based on the Attributes of other monsters on the field... on the surface, it seems appropriate to defeat the other monsters first to weaken it. And common mediocrities would most likely do just that. But I, Seto Kaiba, always make it a habit to challenge the limits!"
Kaiba waved his hand towards E·HERO Sunrise. "Then the first monster to be annihilated will be that E·HERO Sunrise! Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, attack it!"
"Hyper-Neutron-Blast!"
The three heads of Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon tilted upwards in unison, beams of azure light converging in their mouths. Then came a triple torrent of light, seemingly capable of grinding everything to dust and erasing its existence from the world!
Seeing Kaiba choose E·HERO Sunrise as the attack target, Judai sighed helplessly. "Still couldn't hide it, huh? Even though this should be its first appearance in this era. Or is it Mr. Kaiba's superhuman dueling intuition as a legendary duelist?"
The E·HERO Sunrise Judai had Summoned indeed had a trap-like third effect, just as Kaiba suspected. When another HERO monster on his field, other than E·HERO Sunrise, declared an attack during battle, he could target one card on the field and destroy it.
When others, as Kaiba speculated, adopted the tactic of attacking other HERO monsters to weaken E·HERO Sunrise, they would fall into the trap and have their powerful monsters, painstakingly brought out, destroyed by this effect. But Kaiba, by choosing to attack the E·HERO Sunrise at its peak ATK, had coincidentally avoided triggering this effect.
As the attack from Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon approached, Judai wasn't flustered. His right fingers, already prepared, twitched and pressed the button.
"Well, I wasn't expecting this move to defeat you easily anyway, Mr. Kaiba. If that's the case, then I guess I just have to transform!"
A Set card on Judai's field flipped open. Kaiba frowned, wary of what the Quick-Play Spell Card appearing on Judai's field might do to his 【Blue-Eyes】, but unexpectedly, the power flying out of the card struck E·HERO Absolute Zero on Judai's field directly.
"Not strengthening the targeted E·HERO Sunrise, nor weakening the attacking Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon?" Kaiba looked puzzled at the card Judai activated, seeing a figure leaping into the light within it.
"The Set card I activated is the Quick-Play Spell Card Mask Change! Its effect lets me transform one HERO monster I control into an M·HERO monster with the same Attribute from my Extra Deck."
Judai explained, watching E·HERO Absolute Zero become encased in its own solid ice under the influence of Mask Change's power.
"Even heroes aren't omnipotent. Heroes can stand in the light and strike down darkness walking in the open, but they cannot reach the evil hiding in the shadows. For this reason, heroes don masks, also walking in the shadows to uphold justice. This is the Masked Hero, 'M·HERO'!"
Judai extended his palm towards E·HERO Absolute Zero. "Let the solid ice transform into gentle flowing water! Awaken with the power of the water's flow!"
"Masked HERO Acid!"
【M·HERO Acid】【Level 8/WATER】
【Warrior/Fusion/Effect】
【ATK 2600/DEF 2100】
The pillar of ice suddenly shattered, sending shards flying everywhere. Though seemingly thin ice that would break on impact, when it collided with the attack of Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, it was the latter's attack that was stopped.
Moreover, Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon was struck by the ice shards. The moment of contact instantly transferred its heat away, leaving a patch frozen solid. As a large number of ice shards flew about, Kaiba watched in astonishment as his Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon was forcibly turned into an ice sculpture!?
"E·HERO Absolute Zero is a hero who channels the power of ice and snow within his body, fighting with armor and fists. When he transforms into Masked HERO Acid, the power within him loses its constraints and is released." Judai explained to Kaiba. "When E·HERO Absolute Zero leaves the field, all monsters on the opponent's field are destroyed."
"This move is called, Aurora Goddess's Pardon."
Judai said this, smugly placing his hands on his hips. Unexpectedly, Masked HERO Acid, the transformation of E·HERO Absolute Zero, turned around and tried hard to deny to the others that his move had such a strange-sounding name.
"Tsk, looks like that Judai kid's taste in naming things didn't improve much later on. If it were me, the names I'd come up with would definitely sound much better." Hayato said, nodding affirmatively. "Like 'Ice Heaven Hundred Flower Burial' or 'Ice Age'."
"Although they sound a bit better than 'Aurora Goddess's Pardon', aren't they fundamentally the same thing?" Yugi retorted dryly.
"Because E·HERO Absolute Zero was sent to the Graveyard by Mask Change, its effect was triggered. So, although its ATK is very high, your Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, which has absolutely no destruction protection, is destroyed. Your plan fell through, Mr. Kaiba."
On the field, Judai spoke proudly, then glanced at Masked HERO Acid. "Also, when Masked HERO Acid is Special Summoned, it actually has an effect to destroy all Spell/Trap Cards on the opponent's field and decrease the ATK of all opponent's monsters by 300 points."
"However, Mr. Kaiba, you have no Set cards at all." After a pause, Judai gave a confident smile. "But it doesn't matter anymore. With no monsters on your field, victory will be mine next turn."
Hearing this, Kaiba snorted coldly, looking at Judai who had prematurely declared his victory. "Soitsu wa dou ka na?"
"Hm?"
After replying to Judai, Kaiba didn't rush to do anything. Instead, he turned his head, looking towards Hayato and Yugi beside him.
'Hayato, Yugi, you two can always achieve things beyond your opponent's imagination. You can think of and implement solutions to any sudden situation in a duel in mere moments, and even anticipate your opponent's thoughts to respond accordingly.'
'Even in absolutely disadvantageous situations, you can continue dueling with a smile and achieve victory.'
'The anomaly that just occurred in the central plaza... you must have defeated some powerful enemy again. It seems you haven't slacked off due to victory and are still growing stronger.'
'My Deck yearns to defeat you, my heart filled with belligerent passion. And before I defeat you, I will evolve together with 【Blue-Eyes】, until I catch up to your footsteps and surpass you!'
Glancing at the card in his hand, Kaiba's lips curled into a smirk.
"After destroying Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, you think you've secured victory, but you have no idea what kind of existence you have awakened." Kaiba raised the card from his hand high above his head. With his motion, although no Field Spell Card or similar card was activated, the sky suddenly darkened.
"When Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon is destroyed, the ultimate dragon in my hand meets the conditions to be Summoned!"
"Infinite time hides within that primal white power! Within the resounding echo of resonating souls, spread your trembling feathers! Emerge from the azure abyss!"
As Kaiba chanted the somewhat cringeworthy but incredibly imposing lines with his magnetic voice—lines that would sound awkward coming from anyone else—light bloomed from the ice sculpture of Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon.
But, although it was pure white light, it gave off a feeling of wanting to devour everything and drag it into the abyss.
"That is?!" Yusei's eyes widened as he saw the dragon shape spreading its wings amidst the light as the ice sculpture of Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon gradually cracked open.
"If you hoped that freezing could seal Blue-Eyes until the end of time, then now, awaken from the seal at time's end!"
Kaiba shouted loudly, and the winged white dragon finally broke free from the ice!
"Deep-Eyes White Dragon!!"
"WRAAAARRRGGHH!!!"
【Deep-Eyes White Dragon】【Level 10/LIGHT】
【Dragon/Effect】
【ATK 0/DEF 0】
It was a new white dragon that even Hayato and Yugi were seeing for the first time. Summoned by Kaiba, looking at Deep-Eyes White Dragon's unique form—so different from other 【Blue-Eyes】, as if from another dimension, strange yet beautiful—even Yugi found it hard to remain calm. "A White Dragon with 0 ATK!"
【Blue-Eyes White Dragon】 had "power offense" etched into its very DNA, a trait inherited by its other derivatives. Yet Kaiba, who usually looked down on monsters with weak ATK, actually put a monster with 0 ATK in his Deck?
"When a 【Blue-Eyes】 monster is destroyed, Deep-Eyes White Dragon can be Special Summoned from my hand. Then, when Deep-Eyes White Dragon is Special Summoned by this effect, the opponent will also suffer the wrath of the dragons from the abyss of the Graveyard that descend alongside Deep-Eyes White Dragon!"
The ring connecting the wings on Deep-Eyes White Dragon's back lit up. As its wings beat, stardust scattered onto the ground, which then ignited with blue flames, morphing into the forms of the monsters in Kaiba's Graveyard!
Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!
Four Dragon-Type souls, guided by the power of Deep-Eyes White Dragon, though mere phantoms, performed the motion of breathing attacks, and indeed, four distinct blasts shot towards Judai!
"Urgh!"
【Judai Yuki: 4000 → 1600 LP】
"Each Dragon-Type monster in the Graveyard inflicts 600 points of effect damage to the opponent! And Deep-Eyes White Dragon can inherit the power of Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon in the Graveyard!"
【Deep-Eyes White Dragon】【ATK 0/0 → 4500/0】
Kaiba looked at Judai, whose LP had drastically dropped due to the bombardment from the four 【Blue-Eyes】 in the Graveyard, and said gravely, "Then, let's continue the unfinished battle, Deep-Eyes White Dragon."
"Attack E·HERO Sunrise!"
"Burst Stream of the Abyss!!"
"Woah!"
【Judai: 1600 → 200 LP】
E·HERO Sunrise with 3100 ATK couldn't withstand the attack of Deep-Eyes White Dragon, whose ATK had risen to a staggering 4500 after inheriting the power of Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon. It was destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, and Judai's LP dropped by another 1400 points, leaving him with only 200 LP remaining.
"With this, your LP are like a candle in the wind, boy." Kaiba stated with a savage grin. If it had been Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon, he could have attacked twice more to completely wipe out Judai's LP, which would have been a guaranteed kill. Unfortunately, it wasn't.
Unaware that he had just raised a "candle in the wind" flag, Kaiba ended his Battle Phase since all his monsters had attacked. Just when Judai thought he would Set a card and end his turn, Kaiba played the last card in his hand.
"In my Main Phase 2, I activate the Spell Card Card of Demise! My hand is replenished to five cards, and as a cost, during my fifth Standby Phase from now, I must discard my entire hand."
Speaking shamelessly, Kaiba, having activated his last card Card of Demise, drew five cards at once, casually Setting four of them.
"I Set three cards face-down, then Summon one monster in face-down Defense Position. My turn ends."
Kaiba looked at Judai as if victory was already assured. "I can feel the winds of victory blowing at my back! And you will face defeat at the start of your turn!"
Although Kaiba didn't say what his Set cards were, Hayato, who knew Kaiba's usual tricks all too well, already understood clearly from his words.
"Wow, Seto Set three mysterious cards. I'm so excited to see what they are."
As everyone knows, when Kaiba Sets one card and Summons a monster, the Set cards are ____ and ____, and when Kaiba has a high-ATK monster on the field, the two Set cards are ____ and ____.
