Chapter 524: Ancient Egyptian Monsters Land in Domino City
"In that case, it wouldn't be good not to go all out."
Just as Kaiba and Yugi stood facing each other on either side of the Duel Field, a voice suddenly rang out, reaching their ears. Along with that voice, two objects whizzed through the air.
The quick-reacting Yugi and Kaiba caught the items "attacking" them in the first instant, but upon catching them and looking, both were stunned. They had actually received the cards for Slifer the Sky Dragon and Obelisk the Tormentor respectively!?
Looking towards the direction the voice came from, Yugi and Kaiba saw Hayato standing on the spectator stands by the Duel Field, still in the motion of throwing the cards. Behind Hayato, Joey Wheeler also followed out.
"Yugi!"
"Joey Wheeler, Hayato?"
Yugi was a little surprised that Hayato and Joey Wheeler were able to find this place, and so quickly. Furthermore, he wasn't quite sure what Hayato's intention was in giving him Slifer the Sky Dragon.
"Hey, Hayato Kobayashi, what's the meaning of this? Are you trying to bestow something upon me?" Kaiba completely ignored Joey Wheeler, glancing at the Obelisk the Tormentor in his hand. His eyes were fixed on Hayato, seemingly demanding an explanation.
"Nothing much, I just thought that if you, Kaiba, want to defeat Yugi going all out, you should at least witness Yugi at his peak, shouldn't you? The Yugi who held Slifer the Sky Dragon during Battle City was someone even I only barely managed to defeat."
"The same logic applies to Obelisk the Tormentor. After all, only an evenly matched Duel can be called spectacular, right?"
Hayato wore a matter-of-fact expression. "Also, don't think of this as charity or anything. I'm just lending you the cards temporarily. If you want to truly obtain Obelisk the Tormentor, you'll have to defeat me first, Kaiba."
"Evenly matched..."
Hayato's words seemed to have moved Kaiba. Kaiba looked at the card in his hand; it was false to say he didn't want it. However, he had just recently come to the realization that he could prove his strength with just Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Accepting Obelisk the Tormentor like this felt a bit like giving in to temptation. Hayato's words mostly served as a way for Kaiba to save face.
"Since that's the case, then prepare to be shocked by my evolved Deck, Hayato Kobayashi. As a spectator to this world's top-tier Duel, you have the qualification, even if an unnecessary mediocre person tagged along."
Ignoring Joey Wheeler's "Who are you calling a bastard?" remark, Kaiba placed the Obelisk the Tormentor card into his Deck. The Duel Disk's automatic shuffle function mixed it into the Deck. He looked at Yugi opposite him with surging fighting spirit, clearly ready.
Meanwhile, Dark Yugi looked at the Slifer the Sky Dragon in his hand with a hint of hesitation. After a moment of thought, he also added it to his Deck and shuffled it, muttering to himself, 'I really don't know if this decision is right or wrong...'
'This is also a token of Hayato's feelings, The Other Me. Although he didn't say it, my Duelist's intuition tells me that Hayato knows something, and he's probably also thinking of preventing the illusion I saw before from appearing.'
The voice of Yugi Mutou, who was inside the Millennium Puzzle, entered Dark Yugi's mind. It had to be said that his Duelist's intuition was quite accurate. 'Slifer the Sky Dragon can also be useful in the upcoming Duel against Kaiba.'
'That kind of thing... maybe.' Dark Yugi also told Yugi Mutou the reason for his hesitation in his mind. 'But Aibo, do you remember the nickname Hayato gave Slifer the Sky Dragon, and how we defeated Dark Marik who held him?'
'I'm a little worried that we might also get trapped by the Traitor Dragon.'
'Uh, you're right...'
It was better that Dark Yugi didn't mention it, but once he did, Yugi Mutou inside the Millennium Puzzle couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
Slifer the Sky Dragon, as one of the Three Egyptian Gods, was indeed powerful, but powerful cards often came with great risk. Compared to the other two God Cards, Slifer the Sky Dragon's risk was much greater.
Its ability called Thunder Force could effectively counter a field setup, but the forced activation effect made it easy for the opponent to exploit it in reverse, and its ATK being determined by the hand restricted the user to having to keep some cards in hand instead of playing them.
The confident Kaiba and Dark Yugi stood on either side, raising their already deployed Duel Disks in unison and shouting:
"Duel!" X2
Kaiba: 4000 LP
Yugi: 4000 LP
As their Duel Disks activated and they drew their respective five cards, the dome of the Dome seemed to trigger some mechanism, and a faint humming sound entered everyone's ears.
Looking up, they happened to see Keipei sitting inside a spherical mechanical device, ascending along the dome's track to the highest point, while continuously operating some equipment. His voice came through the broadcast system: "Panoramic Projection full activation, Immersive Real-Scene Duel Mode, In to the Vrains!"
As Keipei seemed to activate something, Hayato, Joey Wheeler, and Yugi were surprised to find the ground beneath their feet gradually being replaced before their eyes by a flat Open Space, which looked extremely familiar. The distant scenery even turned into a view from high in the sky!?
With the comparison, Joey Wheeler instantly recalled where he had seen the current scenery: "This is... the airship from Battle City!? Did we teleport?"
"No, this is still the Kaiba Dome." Hayato, however, understood the principle of the anomaly before them. "By using the Virtual Projection System to overlay illusory scenery onto the normal buildings, simulating a real scene. Kaiba's technology has improved again."
"I'll take the first turn! Draw a card!"
Taking advantage of Yugi being surprised by the surrounding scenery, Kaiba slyly snatched the first turn, drawing a card, and then slowly explained, "Rather than improvement, it's more like achieving the original goal I had when I first designed the Virtual Projection System."
"Using this Field that was once used to decide who could challenge the throne of the Duel King as the stage to end the tangled fate between you and me couldn't be more suitable."
While speaking, Kaiba finally checked what card he had drawn. Seeing the card he drew, Kaiba's corner of mouth curved up, revealing a proud smile.
"Spell Card Melody of Awakening Dragon! I discard one card from my hand to activate it. From my Deck, I add to hand two Dragon-Type monsters with ATK 3000 or more and DEF 2500 or less. I choose two Blue-Eyes White Dragons."
After searching for two Blue-Eyes White Dragons and adding them to hand, Kaiba drew another card. "Because Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a Level 8☆ monster, I will activate this Spell Card, Trade-In! I discard the Level 8☆ Blue-Eyes White Dragon and send it to Graveyard, then draw two cards from my Deck."
"Rest in the Graveyard for a while, Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Saying this, Kaiba drew two cards.
Joey Wheeler, watching the Duel, had a surprised expression. "That Kaiba, he would actually voluntarily send Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the Graveyard?"
In Joey Wheeler's understanding, Kaiba always had the attitude of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon is mine, whoever touches it dies." Normally, let alone transferring control of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, even if it was just weakening or destroying Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the Graveyard, Kaiba would get angry and instantly power up, then blasted to death his opponent.
Currently, only Hayato had managed to avoid this because Kaiba couldn't defeat him.
But now, Kaiba was voluntarily sending his own Blue-Eyes White Dragon to the Graveyard? It should be known that Blue-Eyes White Dragon wasn't like Red-Eyes Black Dragon; its strength lay in various forms of beatdown, not reanimation from the Graveyard. Kaiba's operation was too strange.
"Hmph, don't try to guess my strategy with that level of wisdom, mediocre person." Joey Wheeler's voice reached Kaiba's ears. "To create the future, destruction is inevitable. It's what's called 'placing oneself in a desperate situation to survive'."
"Spell Card Dark Factory of Mass Production! This card allows me to add to hand two Normal monsters from my Graveyard. I add to hand the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons that were successively sent to Graveyard by the effects of Melody of Awakening Dragon and Trade-In."
Kaiba retrieved the two cards from his Graveyard. His hand size also increased to seven cards, and three of them were revealed cards: Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
"The card discarded by Melody of Awakening Dragon earlier was also Blue-Eyes White Dragon? In that case, Kaiba has assembled all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons again!?" Joey Wheeler exclaimed in surprise, but after speaking, he also felt a hint of strangeness. "Huh? Why did I say 'again'?"
Hayato casually ranted, "Probably because it would be strange if Kaiba didn't glue the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons together."
After assembling the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in his hand, it was no surprise to anyone that Kaiba played Polymerization.
"Activate the Polymerization Spell Card! I Fusion Summon using all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons from my hand! Appear now, the evolved strongest dragon!"
"Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Three Blue-Eyes White Dragons merged into one under the power of Polymerization. The three-headed giant dragon with two legs and two wings descended onto Kaiba's Field!
Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon [ATK 4500]
"Since it's the first turn, I cannot conduct a battle. Therefore, I set two cards. My turn ends." After summoning a monster with high attack power to put some pressure on Yugi, Kaiba kept one card in hand and set the other two cards, making his end turn declaration.
Kaiba: 4000 LP, Hand 1
Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon [ATK 4500]
Set Card X2
Looking at the Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on Kaiba's Field, which had a strong presence and was trying its best to attract everyone's attention, Dark Yugi felt a sense of vigilance.
'The Blue-Eyes White Dragon Deck Kaiba uses primarily focuses on a beatdown strategy, emphasizing suppression of the opponent with high attack power.' Yugi Mutou stated his idea from inside the Millennium Puzzle. 'Logically speaking, using Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which can attack three times, for a beatdown when going second turn would be more in line with Kaiba's style.'
'Kaiba is absolutely not a reckless Duelist who would rush to take the first turn just for the sake of aura advantage without considering the consequences.'
Dark Yugi strongly agreed with Yugi Mutou's idea: 'Furthermore, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is a bit too eye-catching. If he were just using high attack power on the Field, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon would be enough. But this kind of aura now is almost like he's deliberately trying to attract my attention.'
'Kaiba is expecting me to destroy Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and those two cards in the Spell/Trap Zone definitely have a problem!' X2
The two Yugis, with a tacit understanding, came to the same guess at the same time.
"My turn! Draw a card!" After thinking, Yugi drew a card and began to implement the strategy he had conceived. "Activate Spell Card Ancient Rules! I Special Summon one Normal monster with Level 5☆ or higher from my hand."
"Come forth, my most loyal servant, Dark Magician!"
Dark Magician [ATK 2500]
The Spellcaster held a staff imbued with powerful mystical power in his hand. Dark Magician stood before Yugi, facing the towering three-headed Blue-Eyes White Dragon for him, silent and reliable.
And Yugi didn't just have this one card: "Because Dark Magician exists on my Field, I activate the Spell Card Bond Between Teacher and Student."
"The great Dark Magician has a disciple. Special Summon her from my Deck! Appear!"
"Dark Magician Girl!"
Following closely behind Dark Magician, the playful female Spellcaster appeared with light steps, cutely posing for Yugi behind her. However, because she wasn't serious at all and lacked the elegance of a Spellcaster, she was tapped on the head by the stoic Dark Magician with his staff.
Dark Magician Girl [ATK 2000]
"The subsequent effect of Bond Between Teacher and Student continues to activate after I Special Summoned Dark Magician Girl." Yugi searched for a total of two cards from his Deck. One was the Dark Magician Girl he just placed on the Field, and the other card was being shown in his hand. "I set Dark Burning Attack in the Spell/Trap Zone."
Although Yugi only stated the card name, Kaiba had an impression of that card. "If I remember correctly, that's a Normal Spell Card that can destroy all monsters on your opponent's Field when Dark Magician Girl exists on your Field, right?"
"Ah, that's correct. Although I could also choose Dark Magic Attack to destroy your Set Cards in the Spell/Trap Zone, doing so would leave me with no way to deal with Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. After weighing the options, I chose Dark Burning Attack."
As Yugi spoke, he activated the card he had just set: "Because it's a Normal Spell Card, Dark Burning Attack can be activated in the turn it's set. I activate this card!"
"Even if you, Kaiba, set cards like De-Fusion in your Spell/Trap Zone, you cannot avoid this! Be destroyed like this, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!"
Dark Magician Girl raised her staff. A magic orb flashing with lightning was thrown out, hitting Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. The three-headed Blue-Eyes White Dragon with a high ATK of 4500 was successfully destroyed just like that.
Yugi looked at how easily he had actually destroyed Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, and Kaiba hadn't even activated his Set Cards. While feeling unreal, he also became vigilant in his heart, because he knew Kaiba was absolutely not an opponent who could be suppressed so easily.
Indeed, seeing his Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon destroyed, Kaiba revealed a proud cold smile.
"Yugi, actually, the options you could have chosen because of Bond Between Teacher and Student just now also included Dark Burning Magic and Dark Magic Barrage, right? To defeat you and Hayato, I remember every single card you've used clearly."
"However, those other two cards are Quick-Play Spell Cards that cannot be used in the same turn they are set. Your eagerness to gain an advantage in this turn was completely within my expectations!"
"Witness the future born from destruction!"
"In that case, it wouldn't be good not to go all out."
Just as Kaiba and Yugi stood facing each other on either side of the Duel Field, a voice suddenly rang out, reaching their ears. Along with that voice, two objects whizzed through the air.
The quick-reacting Yugi and Kaiba caught the items "attacking" them in the first instant, but upon catching them and looking, both were stunned. They had actually received the cards for Slifer the Sky Dragon and Obelisk the Tormentor respectively!?
Looking towards the direction the voice came from, Yugi and Kaiba saw Hayato standing on the spectator stands by the Duel Field, still in the motion of throwing the cards. Behind Hayato, Joey Wheeler also followed out.
"Yugi!"
"Joey Wheeler, Hayato?"
Yugi was a little surprised that Hayato and Joey Wheeler were able to find this place, and so quickly. Furthermore, he wasn't quite sure what Hayato's intention was in giving him Slifer the Sky Dragon.
"Hey, Hayato Kobayashi, what's the meaning of this? Are you trying to bestow something upon me?" Kaiba completely ignored Joey Wheeler, glancing at the Obelisk the Tormentor in his hand. His eyes were fixed on Hayato, seemingly demanding an explanation.
"Nothing much, I just thought that if you, Kaiba, want to defeat Yugi going all out, you should at least witness Yugi at his peak, shouldn't you? The Yugi who held Slifer the Sky Dragon during Battle City was someone even I only barely managed to defeat."
"The same logic applies to Obelisk the Tormentor. After all, only an evenly matched Duel can be called spectacular, right?"

"Evenly matched..."
Hayato's words seemed to have moved Kaiba. Kaiba looked at the card in his hand; it was false to say he didn't want it. However, he had just recently come to the realization that he could prove his strength with just Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Accepting Obelisk the Tormentor like this felt a bit like giving in to temptation. Hayato's words mostly served as a way for Kaiba to save face.
"Since that's the case, then prepare to be shocked by my evolved Deck, Hayato Kobayashi. As a spectator to this world's top-tier Duel, you have the qualification, even if an unnecessary mediocre person tagged along."
Ignoring Joey Wheeler's "Who are you calling a bastard?" remark, Kaiba placed the Obelisk the Tormentor card into his Deck. The Duel Disk's automatic shuffle function mixed it into the Deck. He looked at Yugi opposite him with surging fighting spirit, clearly ready.
Meanwhile, Dark Yugi looked at the Slifer the Sky Dragon in his hand with a hint of hesitation. After a moment of thought, he also added it to his Deck and shuffled it, muttering to himself, 'I really don't know if this decision is right or wrong...'

Slifer the Sky Dragon, as one of the Three Egyptian Gods, was indeed powerful, but powerful cards often came with great risk. Compared to the other two God Cards, Slifer the Sky Dragon's risk was much greater.
Its ability called Thunder Force could effectively counter a field setup, but the forced activation effect made it easy for the opponent to exploit it in reverse, and its ATK being determined by the hand restricted the user to having to keep some cards in hand instead of playing them.
The confident Kaiba and Dark Yugi stood on either side, raising their already deployed Duel Disks in unison and shouting:
"Duel!" X2
Kaiba: 4000 LP
Yugi: 4000 LP
As their Duel Disks activated and they drew their respective five cards, the dome of the Dome seemed to trigger some mechanism, and a faint humming sound entered everyone's ears.
Looking up, they happened to see Keipei sitting inside a spherical mechanical device, ascending along the dome's track to the highest point, while continuously operating some equipment. His voice came through the broadcast system: "Panoramic Projection full activation, Immersive Real-Scene Duel Mode, In to the Vrains!"

After searching for two Blue-Eyes White Dragons and adding them to hand, Kaiba drew another card. "Because Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a Level 8☆ monster, I will activate this Spell Card, Trade-In! I discard the Level 8☆ Blue-Eyes White Dragon and send it to Graveyard, then draw two cards from my Deck."
"Rest in the Graveyard for a while, Blue-Eyes White Dragon." Saying this, Kaiba drew two cards.

Kaiba: 4000 LP, Hand 1
Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon [ATK 4500]

"The subsequent effect of Bond Between Teacher and Student continues to activate after I Special Summoned Dark Magician Girl." Yugi searched for a total of two cards from his Deck. One was the Dark Magician Girl he just placed on the Field, and the other card was being shown in his hand. "I set Dark Burning Attack in the Spell/Trap Zone."
Although Yugi only stated the card name, Kaiba had an impression of that card. "If I remember correctly, that's a Normal Spell Card that can destroy all monsters on your opponent's Field when Dark Magician Girl exists on your Field, right?"
