"Alright, Seto, what are you going to do now?" Gozaburo asked.
Kaiba didn't answer immediately.
"Heh heh heh, hahahahaha—!"
The president suddenly threw his head back and let out his signature laugh. Afterward, he finally spoke.
"Maybe you've improved a little and even prepared for this duel. But it doesn't change the fact that you're just a shortsighted third-rate duelist.
The world of dueling is far broader than you can imagine. If you can't understand that, then let your body remember it through this duel."
He immediately played another card from his hand.
"I summon 'Kaibaman'!"
Yep, on screen, it looked like the president was summoning himself. Only the summoned Kaiba was wearing a White Dragon helmet that covered half of his face.
He even printed himself as a card.
[Kaibaman, ATK 200]
"By tributing 'Kaibaman', I can summon this card from my hand! Descend, my strongest servant through three millennia—
—Blue-Eyes White Dragon, summon!"
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000]
"And if 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' is on the field or in the graveyard, it can be treated as 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'!" Kaiba declared. "I fuse 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon'!
Transcend into a form of explosive radiance—
—Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, Fusion Summon!"
Two white dragons soared into the air, turning into two dazzling beams of white light that shot across the sky like meteors. The dragons twisted together in a vortex, intertwining into a single body, bursting forth with gem-like divine brilliance.
As the light faded, a new double-headed white dragon tore through the air, leaving a silver trail as it flew.
[Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, ATK 3000]
"A double fusion of Blue-Eyes," Gozaburo remarked. "Is this also your achievement over these years, Seto?"
But then he changed his tone: "However, because the number of Dragon-type monsters has increased on the field and in the graveyard, Buster Blader's attack power has gotten even higher."
[Buster Blader, ATK 3100 → ATK 4100]
"Battle." Kaiba said coldly, "Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, attack 'Buster Blader'!
Twin Burst Stream of Destruction!"
Both dragon heads opened their jaws; an endless white light blasted out like a storm. But Buster Blader showed no fear, sword in hand, his forceful sword aura clashing head-on with the light storm.
"Buster Blader's attack is higher," Gozaburo said.
[Seto Kaiba, LP 4000 → LP 2900]
Kaiba remained expressionless: "But Twin Burst Dragon can't be destroyed by battle.
And if this card's attack fails to destroy the opponent's monster, after the Damage Step, that monster is banished from play!"
He spoke in a deep voice.
"If it's not in that guy's hand, there's nothing to fear from Buster Blader. Disappear."
The torrent from the white dragon grew more intense, quickly swallowing the swordsman until he twisted and vanished.
"So you managed to deal with Buster Blader," Gozaburo said, seemingly unfazed.
"End of Battle Phase, Main Phase 2." Kaiba continued, "Next, I activate the Spell Card 'Trade-In', discard a Level 8 monster from my hand, and draw two cards.
I discard another 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand and draw two cards."
Kaiba drew two cards, then revealed another.
"Quick-Play Spell 'Card Destruction', both players discard two cards from their hands and then draw two cards."
After drawing, he picked out two more cards from his hand.
"I set one card in my back row. Finally, I activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Super Rejuvenation'!
At the end of this turn, for each Dragon-type monster discarded from my hand or tributed this turn, I draw that many cards."
"This turn, I just discarded three Dragons from my hand, so I draw three cards!"
Kaiba drew three cards.
Gozaburo: "The greatest regeneration of Dragons. Indeed, just like you—never giving up, no matter what blows you take or what situation you're in, you always find a way.
It's just like 'Super Rejuvenation'."
"Still talking nonsense at this point? You were never my father, Gozaburo. Never before, and never in the future."
Kaiba cut him off impatiently.
"Stop wasting time. Draw your card!"
"Heh, then it's my turn. Draw!"
Gozaburo chuckled lightly.
"You really are as aggressive as ever, Seto. Yes, for you, the past is nothing worth remembering, it's something you want to cut off and discard.
I was the same—my past meant nothing to me. Only those who grasp the future can become kings; those who wallow in the past are cowards who can't face what's ahead.
In that sense, we're very much alike, Seto."
"I'm nothing like you, Gozaburo," Kaiba said coldly.
"Won't admit it? Doesn't matter. But now my thoughts have changed. After everything I've been through, looking back, even the darkest corners of my memory now shine like pearls."
He slowly raised his hand.
"I activate my set card. Trap Card, 'Destruction Sword Memories'," Gansaburo said. "By discarding a 'Destruction Sword' card from my hand, I can Special Summon a 'Buster Blader' monster from my deck."
Gozaburo sent a card from his hand to the graveyard, and a golden light shot from his deck.
"I Special Summon this card from the deck—show yourself!
Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordmaster, summon!"
Buster Blader, who had just left the field last turn, returned almost immediately, this time in a new outfit, but his basic stats were unchanged.
[Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordmaster, ATK 2600]
"An evolved form of Buster Blader?" Kaiba snorted.
"Next, I Normal Summon 'Leng Ling."
[Leng Ling, ATK 1500]
"Leng Ling is a Union monster; it can equip itself to any monster I control," Gozaburo explained. "I equip 'Leng Ling' to 'Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordmaster'.
The equipped monster's original ATK becomes 1000, and it can attack twice per turn."
[Buster Blader, the Destruction Swordmaster, ATK 2600 → ATK 1000]
Kaiba crossed his arms and sneered: "With that attack power, even if it can attack twice—"
"You'll understand soon enough, Seto," Gozaburo said. "Buster Blader's effect activates.
Once per turn, I can send an equipped monster card from this card to the graveyard. Then, all monsters your opponent controls with the same Type as the sent monster are destroyed!"
Kaiba frowned slightly.
Same Type monster…
"So, I send 'Leng Ling' equipped on Buster Blader to the graveyard," Gozaburo said. "Leng Ling is a Dragon, so all Dragon-type monsters on your field are destroyed!"
The swordsman drew his dragon-slaying sword, and with a flash, swept across Kaiba's field like a hurricane, erasing the Twin Burst Dragon in a single blow!
