"Activate the Magic Card 'Dragon Awakening Melody'!"
President Kaiba played a card from his hand.
"Discard a card from your hand to add two monsters with Attack Power of 3000 or more and Defense Power of 2500 or less from the deck to your hand."
Blue data streams converged toward his deck, and two cards automatically emerged from the deck after being retrieved.
"Add these two cards from the deck to the hand... 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon'!"
"By using 'Parallel World Fusion,' all three White Dragons have been shuffled back into the deck?" said Yugen.
"Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon can be Special Summoned by revealing 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in the hand directly."
Kaiba slapped the card from his hand onto the Duel Disc with a snap.
"By revealing the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in my hand, summon this card's apparition, now appear—
—Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon!"
The subspecies of the Light White Dragon, in its transformed form, the White Dragon fluttered its sacred and radiant body, flapping its skeletal wings, and hovered heavily over Kaiba's field, letting out a deep roar.
[Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"The effect of Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon allows it to destroy one monster on the field once per turn." Kaiba announced, "Destroy Magical Warrior - Destructors!"
The Sub-White Dragon opened its mouth, with dazzling white light swirling inside, transforming into a shattering Gale Bullet and blasting out.
"Indeed, the President never gives a moment's respite, immediately launching a full-speed assault again..."
"If I don't move forward, I will be left behind, reduced to an eliminated loser." Kaiba coldly declared, "Will you keep up and become a strong one at the peak, or halt and remain? Fujiki Yugen, prove the caliber of you as a Duelist."
"Alright then, if that's the case..."
Yugen slowly raised an arm.
"... Activate the Cover Card. Continuous Trap 'Inhaling Flashing Magic Mirror.'
As long as this card exists on the field, all effects of Light Attribute monsters activated on the field and in the graveyard become void!"
Marufuji Ryo's eyes twitched.
It sure appeared!
"Ah, it's that trap again!" Keihei also exclaimed.
Known as the Light Attribute killer trap, it is a fatal lockdown for Seto Kaiba's deck, which revolves around the Light Attribute. Whether the VWXZ series or the White Dragon, though the President's deck, much like the Dark Game, is a mix of multiple series, the proportion of Light Attribute beasts is relatively high.
The Magic Mirror reflected the image of Sub-White Dragon, the white light swirling in the White Dragon's mouth gradually dimming, until it disappeared completely.
"With this, the monster effects on Seto Kaiba's field should mostly be sealed. And even though the effect activation was nullified, the ability of Sub-White Dragon was considered activated, meaning it can't attack again this turn..."
Marufuji Ryo glanced at the President.
It seemed the situation had reversed once again...
"This time it's effect suppression. Truly, for Blue-Eyes, it would be a card with strong sealing power, you think like that, right..."
Kaiba suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if harboring the spirit of a determined lion.
"But over these years, Blue-Eyes has evolved far beyond that point! Activate Speed Attack Magic - Ultimate Fusion!"
A quick Fusion exclusive to Blue-Eyes, light and wind swirled up in the field, as if intending to shred the space into pieces.
"Ultimate Fusion is an exclusive Fusion Magic for Blue-Eyes, only activated in the Main Phase." Kaiba declared, "Choose any Fusion Material from your hand, field, or graveyard, by shuffling the Fusion Material back into the deck, perform a Fusion Summon of a Blue-Eyes Fusion Monster!"
A card exited the graveyard on the Duel Disc, taken back into Kaiba's hand, and shown along another White Dragon from his hand.
"The Blue-Eyes discarded by Dragon Awakening Melody, another Blue-Eyes in my hand, and the 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon' on the field that can be used as a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon,' perform the Ultimate Fusion of three Blue-Eyes!"
"The Magic Mirror can only nullify Light Attribute effects that need activation, Sub-White Dragon being treated as 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' is considered a continuous ability, even the Magic Mirror can't nullify that." Marufuji Ryo muttered.
Judai appeared more excited than the duelists on the field: "Oh, oh, oh, here it comes, looks like something super strong is coming!"
The triple fusion of White Dragons, the primal and legendary strongest dragon, its glowing brilliance descended like the brightest star in the heavens.
A body covered with white scales, shimmering with incandescent brightness like blazing sunlight. Pure light enough to purify everything, broad bony wings that could stir up the elements, embodying incomparable majesty and divine power.
True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, descend!
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Attack Power 4500]
"Come down onto my field in the ultimate form as the strongest!" Kaiba declared, "True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, when 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' is in the graveyard, it is unaffected by any of the opponent's effects!" (Original effect)
"So strong!" Judai exclaimed, "Isn't that invincible!?"
Marufuji Ryo was also moved: "This is, the ultimate dragon claimed to be the strongest in the Duel Monsters Realm, owned by Seto Kaiba..."
Yugen slightly raised his arm, blocking it in front, squinting to peer at the giant White Dragon bathed in holy light.
He could also distinctly feel, the current Ultimate Dragon, the overwhelmingly powerful force within its body as if it were enough to destroy the world, perhaps indeed the strongest monster equivalent to a god.
To face such a monster, such a duelist as an opponent...
He couldn't help but smile slightly.
Quoting President Kaiba's words...
... Now that's more like it.
Whether it was an illusion or not, at the moment when the Ultimate Dragon appeared, descending with that god-like pressure, he felt the Sealing Artifact seemed to vibrate faintly again.
The Eye of Horus engraved on the Divine Artifact also seemed to flash briefly with a golden light.
"Hah, even facing an Ultimate Dragon in its strongest form, you're still so calm."
Kaiba sneered, slowly raising his hand.
"Then let's go further, and take the force of this destruction! Ultimate Fusion has an additional effect, depending on the number of 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' monsters used as Fusion Material on the field, destroy cards on the field.
Though that card doesn't affect 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' now, the annoying stuff should still be shattered.
Destroy 'Inhaling Flashing Magic Mirror'!"
Incandescent light bullets fell down, shattering Yugen's backfield Magic Mirror to pieces.
"Then, a direct attack from True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon!"
Again, three mouths opened simultaneously, launching a strike like piercing through the heavens!
The explosive white light, hot as the core of the sun, interwoven into a massive beam of light, split the entire sky in two.
"Yugen!" Judai couldn't help worrying for Yugen.
An Ultimate Dragon that's unaffected by any card effects, can even Yugen withstand it...
"Activate Trap 'Half Counterattack.'" Yugen spoke, "During the attack involving a monster on my side, during damage calculation, the attack and defense of the attacked monster increase by half of the attacking monster's original Attack Power.
Therefore, Magical Warrior - Destructors' Attack Power rises by half of Ultimate Dragon's Attack Power, a total of 2250 points."
[Magical Warrior - Destructors, Attack Power 1600→Attack Power 3850]
The epic-level reinforcement of Magic Guide Warrior, though even then it still was not enough to withstand Ultimate Dragon's divine power. His sword and shield both shattered after a brief support, turning to dust in the light beam.
[Yugen, LP 2500→LP 1850]
"Hah, Half Counterattack, a powerful trap. Originally, it was one of your strong methods to deal with the All-Resistant Ultimate Dragon, it's a pity it had to be used here."
Kaiba sneered.
Yugen remained silent.
Indeed. If the attacked monster's original Attack Power was above 2250, using Half Counterattack could have successfully countered and defeated the invincible Ultimate Dragon.
"This is the ultimate power that I and Blue-Eyes have achieved together through this evolution, feel free to try and beat it if you can!"
