# Chapter 525: The Man-Eating Devil Advances Towards Kaiba Building
"Witness the future born from destruction!"
As Kaiba slammed the card from his Hand onto the Duel Disk, a brilliant radiance suddenly bloomed where the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, struck by Dark Magician Girl, had been. Five slender, sharp wings extended from the smoke and dust, fanning away the debris and revealing a slender, white Giant Dragon!
"Pure white power hidden in the source of infinite time, raise your wings that tremble in the echoing intersection of souls, and appear from the azure Abyss!"
"Deep-Eyes White Dragon!!"
"Roar!"
[Deep-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK 0]
"When a Blue-Eyes on my Field is Destroyed, Deep-Eyes White Dragon can be Special Summoned from my Hand, and it inherits the Power of the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that was just Destroyed in the Graveyard," Kaiba said proudly. "Furthermore, you will suffer the Wrath of the Dragon from the Graveyard!"
"For every Dragon-Type Monster in my Graveyard, you will take 600 points of Damage!"
Joey Wheeler, seeing Deep-Eyes White Dragon for the first time, couldn't help but be startled: "What? That's such a broken Effect!"
"Not only did it foil Yugi's Plan to Destroy a Powerful Monster by Summoning a Monster just as powerful as True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but it even Countered!"
[Deep-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK 0 → 4500]
Blue flames, like souls, ignited on Deep-Eyes White Dragon, which bore five wings. The form of True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which it had Evolved from, was Absorbed by it. In addition to increasing its ATK, it also generated four beams of light, corresponding to the number of Dragon-Type Monsters in Kaiba's Graveyard, that shot towards Yugi!
"Ugh!"
[Yugi: 4000 → 1600 LP]
Seeing Yugi's Life Points drop by more than half in one go, Kaiba sneered: "In front of my Evolved Blue-Eyes, you have no Resistance at all, Yugi. Hmph, it looks like the Victory or Defeat between us can be decided even before the God Card appears."
"Is that so?"
"Nani!?"
Seeing the surprise on Kaiba's face, Yugi smirked: "Kaiba, just as you see me as an Opponent you must Defeat and pay attention to, I also recognize you as my important Opponent. Naturally, I won't forget the Effects of the Cards you've used."
"When I saw you deliberately leave one Card in your Hand, I guessed whether that Card might be Deep-Eyes White Dragon. Now it seems I was right."
"The Disciple's Strategy failed, so now it's the Master's turn. I Activate the Magic Card Thousand Knives from my Hand. If Dark Magician exists on my Field, I Destroy one Monster on the Opponent's Field, which is the Deep-Eyes White Dragon you just Summoned, Kaiba! This is my true Attack Approach, Kaiba!"
Dark Magician raised the Emerald Green Wand in his Hand, releasing black Mystical Power. Behind him, countless sharp knives materialized, aiming directly at the Deep-Eyes White Dragon that had just Damaged his Master.
Even Kaiba hadn't expected that Yugi had two ways to Destroy Monsters. With Thousand Knives already in his Hand, facing the choice of Bond Between Teacher and Student, Yugi still chose Dark Burning Attack to Destroy a Monster instead of Dark Magic Attack to Destroy a Spell/Trap Card! It was as if he had anticipated the appearance of Kaiba's Deep-Eyes White Dragon!
Like the famous game "Blackbeard," the dense knives struck Deep-Eyes White Dragon. Although it was a 10-Star Dragon Type with extremely high ATK, Deep-Eyes White Dragon was easily Destroyed because it had no Resistance, turning into scattered stardust that drifted down, mixed with feathers like a fallen Angel.
Witnessing his White Dragon being Destroyed, Kaiba was unusually devoid of any Angry Expression. He merely sneered: "When you Destroy my Deep-Eyes White Dragon, Deep-Eyes White Dragon will offer its final Power to me, Destroying all Monsters on your Field!"
"Fall into the Abyss with Blue-Eyes. Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl!"
Kaiba's behavior made Yugi slightly Strange, because just like Joey Wheeler's Understanding of Kaiba, Yugi also knew how much Kaiba cared about Blue-Eyes. But now, Kaiba, despite witnessing his Monster being Destroyed, was Proud because Deep-Eyes White Dragon's Mutual Destruction Effect successfully triggered.
This isn't like Kaiba at all.
Strange as it was, the Duel continued. Yugi Drew a Card from his Hand and played it: "That won't do. I can't bear to let my cherished Monsters be dragged into the Abyss by you like this."
"Chaining to Deep-Eyes White Dragon's Destroy Effect, I Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Instant Fusion! I use Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl on my Field as Material for a Fusion Summon! Come forth, Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice!"
"The Monster Fusion Summoned by this Effect will be Destroyed during the End Phase, but before that, Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice will take on Deep-Eyes White Dragon's Effect!"
Although it was called Fusion, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl on Yugi's Field merely moved slightly closer to each other. After all, the so-called Master and Disciple is just the combination of the two of them.
The Fusion Summoned Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice was enveloped by the stardust and feathers left behind when Deep-Eyes White Dragon Left the Field. Although they were light feathers, the Instant they landed on Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl's shoulders, they suddenly burst into dazzling Radiance, as if to Swallow everything.
The vision of everyone watching the Field was momentarily taken away. When the Radiance dissipated, Yugi's Field was empty.
However, in the very next Instant, a Finger Snap suddenly echoed from the empty space. Immediately, a Magic gate opened in the void, and the figures of Dark Magician Girl and Dark Magician emerged from it. Dark Magician was calm, while Dark Magician Girl had an Expression of lingering fear, even patting her sturdy chest.
[Dark Magician] [ATK 2500]
[Dark Magician Girl] [ATK 2000]
"When Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice is Destroyed, I can Special Summon one Dark Magician and one Dark Magician Girl from my Hand, Deck, or Graveyard," Yugi explained the current situation on the Field to everyone.
"I see, the Effect that Takes Effect after Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice is Destroyed, Deep-Eyes White Dragon's Destroy Effect, and Instant Fusion's Side Effect were all utilized by Yugi. Well done, Yugi!"
Although Joey Wheeler usually acts like an Idiot, and his grades certainly prove he is one, his intelligence regarding Duel Monsters is not low at all. After all, he is no longer the newbie he was at that time who couldn't even remember common Card Effects. Naturally, he easily understood Yugi's Strategy just now.
Even Joey Wheeler understood, let alone everyone else.
"Right, in that case, Kaiba's Field has no Monsters that can act as a Barrier, while Yugi has Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl with a Total ATK of 4500 points," Joey Wheeler's eyes suddenly lit up. "If he Attacks Directly, Yugi can Defeat Kaiba!"
"Hmph, so, will you Attack as the Mediocre Person suggested, Yugi?" Despite having only two unknown Set Cards on his Field, Kaiba was acting Proud, as if he, not Yugi, had the Advantage.
Hearing this, Yugi didn't rush to answer, but first looked at his Hand.
After the series of Attack and Defense just now, Yugi had one Card left in his Hand. After thinking for a moment, Yugi made his Decision: "Then, as you expected, I enter my Battle Phase."
"And now, Dark Magician Girl Attacks Kaiba Directly! Dark Burning Attack!"
Facing the two unknown Set Cards in Kaiba's Spell/Trap Zone, Yugi didn't directly Attack with the Dark Magician, who had higher ATK, but chose to use Dark Magician Girl for a test Attack.
"Hmph, Muda Muda, an Attack of this level is not enough to reach me at all. If you want to Defeat me, at least show me your Full Power when you're Serious, Yugi!" Facing Dark Magician Girl's Direct Attack, Kaiba flipped his Set Card in the Spell/Trap Zone. "Chaining to the Monster's Attack Declaration, I Activate the Set Card Negate Attack!"
"Dark Magician Girl's Attack is Negated, and your Battle Phase ends!"
The playful Dark Magician Girl, whose previous Attack had caused Deep-Eyes White Dragon to Inflict Direct Effect Damage to Yugi, was a Spellcaster this time for her Direct Attack. However, she had enchanted her Staff with over a dozen spells and even cast a bunch of enhancement spells on herself, putting her full effort into trying to land a heavy blow on Kaiba.
However, as Kaiba flipped the Set Card Negate Attack, she, who was Attacking with Full Power, crashed into a momentarily solid Barrier. Not only did she fail to Damage Kaiba in the slightest, but she also hurt her nose, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain.
Having finally Destroyed all the Set Cards on Kaiba's Field, only to encounter an annoying card like Negate Attack that directly ends the Battle Phase, Yugi helplessly entered his Main Phase 2.
Looking down at the Card in his Hand again, Dark Yugi felt a slight Hesitation in his Heart.
'Graceful Charity.' Yugi Mutou in the Millennium Puzzle advised, 'The Other Me, now is not the best opportunity to Activate this Card.'
'Hmm, indeed, if I use Graceful Charity after the Battle Phase, I won't be able to effectively Inflict Damage to Kaiba.'
Dark Yugi responded, but to his surprise, Yugi Mutou's Idea was different from his: 'No, that's not it, The Other Me, that has nothing to do with it.'
'Although there's no Evidence, do you remember? Kaiba said before that he remembers every Card we've used, and we often use Graceful Charity to replenish Cards in our Duels. Kaiba, he definitely has some Strategy to Counter Graceful Charity!'
'A Strategy to Counter Graceful Charity?' Dark Yugi was startled, feeling a slight Hesitation in his Heart, but ultimately chose to listen to Aibo's Suggestion, 'Since Aibo says so, then...'
"Set one Card. My Turn ends."
Although he chose not to Activate Graceful Charity, Yugi slyly chose to Set Graceful Charity as a bait. While he wasn't sure if Kaiba would fall for it, tricking him would still be good.
After all, a Normal Person would absolutely not Set super powerful draw cards like Graceful Charity or Pot of Greed on the Field, right?
[Yugi: 1600 LP, Hand 0]
[Dark Magician] [ATK 2500]
[Dark Magician Girl] [ATK 2000]
[Set Card]
"Then, my Turn, Draw." Hearing Yugi's Turn end, Kaiba immediately Drew a Card. Seeing the Card he Drew, he smiled proudly. "Yugi, your Hand is empty now, and so is mine. Just two Turns of Battle have exhausted our Hands. What an intense Battle."
"But to elevate this Duel, just Drawing one Card at a time is too slow. Let's use this Card to replenish our Hands."
"Magic Card, Graceful Charity! Both Players Draw Cards until they have six in their Hand!"
Saying this, Kaiba was the first to Draw six Cards from his Deck.
Although Yugi was slightly surprised that Kaiba also Drew Graceful Charity, getting it for free from Kaiba instead of using his own made him smile. He also quickly Drew six Cards.
As they each looked at the Cards they had Drawn, both Kaiba and Yugi were slightly startled, then showed almost identical Expressions.
"Looking at your Expression, did you Draw a good Card, Yugi?"
"You too, Kaiba."
Seeing the same feeling in Yugi's eyes as his own, Kaiba guessed that Yugi must have Drawn that Card, since he had too.
In Kaiba's Hand, wasn't it Obelisk the Tormentor? And in Yugi's Hand, there was indeed a Slifer the Sky Dragon.
Because of one Graceful Charity, both players simultaneously Drew a "God". And since it was Kaiba's Turn, he had a great Possibility of Summoning the God this Turn!
As the Apex of Duel Monsters, Obelisk the Tormentor requires Tributing three Monsters for a Normal Summon, and Cards like Mausoleum of the Emperor cannot be used as a substitute for the Tribute. This means Kaiba currently needs to Assemble three Monsters on his Field to Summon the God.
Coincidentally, he actually had Cards in his Hand that could achieve this.
"I Normal Summon Lord of D. from my Hand in Attack Position to the Field. As long as Lord of D. exists in the Monster Zone, neither player can Target Dragon-Type Monsters on the Field with Card Effects."
"Next is the Magic Card The Flute of Summoning Dragon! While Lord of D. is on my Field, I Special Summon two Dragon-Type Monsters from my Hand!"
"Come forth, Diamond Dragon, Emerald Dragon!"
Kaiba Summoned Monsters three times in a row, yet Yugi still showed no intention of activating the unknown Set Card in his Spell/Trap Zone. This led Kaiba to exclude the Possibility that the Card was a Summon Trap Card like Trap Hole.
However, since you still haven't activated that Set Card until now, you won't have another chance now, Yugi!
Kaiba, who had already performed a Normal Summon, played his second to last Card: "Activate the Magic Card Double Summon! I can perform a second Normal Summon this Turn. Then, I will Tribute the three Monsters on my Field—"
'It's coming!'
Just the imposing Aura that enveloped the entire Field as Kaiba raised the Card, and the rare Summon Condition of Tributing three Monsters, Yugi already knew that the God Card with the strongest Destroy Power among the God Cards was about to appear!
"Witness the future born from destruction!"
As Kaiba slammed the card from his Hand onto the Duel Disk, a brilliant radiance suddenly bloomed where the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, struck by Dark Magician Girl, had been. Five slender, sharp wings extended from the smoke and dust, fanning away the debris and revealing a slender, white Giant Dragon!
"Pure white power hidden in the source of infinite time, raise your wings that tremble in the echoing intersection of souls, and appear from the azure Abyss!"
"Deep-Eyes White Dragon!!"
"Roar!"
[Deep-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK 0]
"When a Blue-Eyes on my Field is Destroyed, Deep-Eyes White Dragon can be Special Summoned from my Hand, and it inherits the Power of the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that was just Destroyed in the Graveyard," Kaiba said proudly. "Furthermore, you will suffer the Wrath of the Dragon from the Graveyard!"
"For every Dragon-Type Monster in my Graveyard, you will take 600 points of Damage!"
Joey Wheeler, seeing Deep-Eyes White Dragon for the first time, couldn't help but be startled: "What? That's such a broken Effect!"
"Not only did it foil Yugi's Plan to Destroy a Powerful Monster by Summoning a Monster just as powerful as True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but it even Countered!"
[Deep-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK 0 → 4500]
Blue flames, like souls, ignited on Deep-Eyes White Dragon, which bore five wings. The form of True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which it had Evolved from, was Absorbed by it.

"Is that so?"

"Chaining to Deep-Eyes White Dragon's Destroy Effect, I Activate the Quick-Play Spell Card Instant Fusion! I use Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl on my Field as Material for a Fusion Summon! Come forth, Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice!"
"The Monster Fusion Summoned by this Effect will be Destroyed during the End Phase, but before that, Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice will take on Deep-Eyes White Dragon's Effect!"
Although it was called Fusion, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl on Yugi's Field merely moved slightly closer to each other. After all, the so-called Master and Disciple is just the combination of the two of them.
The Fusion Summoned Super Magician - Dark Magician Apprentice was enveloped by the stardust and feathers left behind when Deep-Eyes White Dragon Left the Field. Although they were light feathers, the Instant they landed on Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl's shoulders, they suddenly burst into dazzling Radiance, as if to Swallow everything.
