Chapter 4. Is There an Even Stronger Fusion? The Counterfeit Ultimate Dragonic Magician and Alternative Ultimate Dragon!
Seto Kaiba was stunned.
Even the diehard Dragon-deck fans were dumbstruck!
Blue-Eyes White Dragon jumping into Twin Burst was one thing!
But the next one that popped up—Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!
It was actually that broken!
Just as Seto Kaiba, Yugi Muto, and Joey Wheeler were looking forward to the video poster "The Bride Is Mine" explaining things—
What he said next turned them to stone on the spot.
The Bride Is Mine: "These cards are just for looking at. They're junk. They're not that strong. At most, run one copy in your build."
The Bride Is Mine: "Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon only has that non-targeting banish worth noting. As for Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, my take is it's worse than the card below."
As soon as "The Bride Is Mine" fell silent—
Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon vanished!
As if, in this person's eyes—
Those two cards were both trash!
Seto Kaiba just about coughed up blood!
You call that "not that strong"?
Give those two cards to his Blue-Eyes White Dragon build—
He couldn't even imagine how much the deck's power would skyrocket!
Yugi Muto, however, had calmed down.
Now he finally understood.
This video-linked world had indeed gone beyond their understanding!
Joey Wheeler gulped, eyes wide.
There's an even stronger Blue-Eyes White Dragon Fusion Monster than those?
…
As they were thinking that, the progress bar quickly slid to the next batch of Fusion Monsters!
[Card Name: Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon (Level 12)]
[Attribute: LIGHT]
[Type: Dragon]
[ATK/DEF: 4500/3800]
The moment another Blue-Eyes Fusion Monster, completely different from Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon—
Also requiring 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" as materials—appeared!
The Duel Monsters world went absolutely wild!
Because this card's power level was even more absurd and terrifying than the one above!
"What the heck? There's an even higher ceiling? This card can't be targeted by an opponent's effects and can't be destroyed by an opponent's effects?"
"This protection! It's on par with the Gods, right? And it pops cards to clear the board—sure, once per turn!"
"By the way, what is 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' supposed to be? I've never heard of it! Looks like fusing with that makes this even stronger!"
"Yeah, fuse using that so-called Alternative White Dragon, and the pop can be two cards, even three! That's insane!"
"…"
In an instant—
The chatter of duelists around Seto Kaiba filled his ears one line after another.
His fists clenched slightly.
How could he not see how terrifyingly strong this card was?
Innate, powerful protection and board-clearing!
Looking back at Twin Burst and Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!
This one is the true boss card!
Those two from before?
They're nothing!
This card's function is completely above the previous two!
Even if there's a self-limiting clause—
Just that protection alone—
Is already a massive, crushing win!
"So the focus of Blue-Eyes White Dragon is still to bring this monster out?"
"Hmph. Interesting."
"Then 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' must be the effect-bearing Blue-Eyes White Dragon I saw in that earlier build."
Seto Kaiba muttered, quickly realizing why he had seen a Blue-Eyes White Dragon with effects before.
Turns out that was Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!
"Kaiba! This Blue-Eyes White Dragon build has surpassed our frame of reference."
"Be careful. This looks like it's only just beginning."
Yugi Muto spoke while wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Even if he's the king of ad-libbing and "printing cards,"
When he really sees power-crept cards, he can't help but feel a bit rattled.
And as Yugi Muto said—
Right next to that card was an even stronger Blue-Eyes Fusion card!
[Card Name: Ultimate Dragonic Magician (Level 12)]
[Attribute: LIGHT]
[Type: Dragon]
[ATK/DEF: 5000/4000]
5000 ATK???
What kind of broken stats are these!
4000 DEF!
That can even block Obelisk the Tormentor's attack?
What on earth is this…
Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto stared wide-eyed at each other, unable to believe the true boss Fusion that had appeared!
What shocked Seto Kaiba and Yugi Muto even more—
Was the artwork!
It showed Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Magician of Black Chaos!
Is this a Fusion of their two ace monsters?
You can do that?
"Holy—!"
"Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon still has a card this strong?"
"Let me see the effect…"
Joey Wheeler was scared half to death.
His eyes shot down to the effect text!
Effect 1:
"When your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card. You can only activate this card name's effect once per turn for each of the following: Spell, Trap, and Monster effects."
Effect 2:
"If this face-up card leaves the field because of an opponent's card: You can Special Summon 1 'Blue-Eyes' monster or 1 'Chaos' Ritual Monster from your Extra Deck or Graveyard."
Two simple, no-frills effects—
Yet they wordlessly exuded this card's majesty and might!
Built-in, ridiculous three-type negation!
Against Spells, Traps, and Monsters—able to negate each once!
And when it leaves the field, it can still bring out a "Blue-Eyes" or a "Chaos" Ritual!
Absolutely shameless!
Joey Wheeler took a deep breath, unable to calm down for a long time!
Why is Seto Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon, in that unknown world, allowed to be this powerful!
As for Seto Kaiba—
After seeing that straightforward Fusion line, he was struck dumb.
Less than a minute of short video—
And his entire worldview about Blue-Eyes White Dragon had changed!
Compared to his vanilla Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon—
Seto Kaiba couldn't help but ask himself.
All this time he's played that deck—
Was it really Blue-Eyes White Dragon?
