"Shining New Star!"
With President Kaiba's loud shout, the Light Dragon's entire body seemed to melt into a blazing sun, its brilliance sweeping across Yugen's field, clearing it completely.
Even the invincible Dragon Destruction Sword was helpless — it's unrivaled in dragon slaying, but it can only slay dragons.
Alas, the opponent's dragon disregarded the warrior code, draping itself in a layer of Phantom God Skin. As a result, it was powerless and could only evaporate and disappear in the white light.
Watching the domineering swordsman leave the field, Judai couldn't help but say, "Even such a powerful Destruction Knight was..."
"Heh, of course," Keihei rubbed his nose, somewhat proudly, "Because that's my brother... the legendary Seto Kaiba."
Indeed, there's no need to worry.
Brother's duel... is the strongest.
"Even the Destruction Sword is no match... truly deserving of being the President," Yugen said helplessly.
"In just half a year, you've grown to such a level," Kaiba said calmly, "Fujiki Yugen, even I must admit, you've surpassed my expectations."
Pausing, he smiled slightly.
"Maybe you're the duelist I've been waiting for... but not today, not yet."
Indeed, he has been delayed too long.
Since this return, the throne of Duel King is his goal.
Whoever stands in the way will make no difference.
"Although all my cards on the field have been destroyed by the Light Dragon, my battle phase isn't over yet," Yugen said calmly.
Kaiba frowned.
"Oh? But you don't have a single card left on the field," he said coldly, "Nor a monster to attack with. Are you saying your offense isn't over?"
"Exactly."
"Heh... interesting," Kaiba chuckled, "Then let me see. In this situation, how do you plan to counterattack!"
"As you wish."
A transparent shadow appeared behind Yugen.
Executioner Demon Asura!
"That fellow is..." Kaiba's thoughts turned, instantly understanding.
"Exactly, during Fusion Birth, I drew not just two Fusion Materials but also sent three other cards to the graveyard, including 'Executioner Demon Asura'!"
Yugen said.
"During the turn Executioner is sent to the graveyard, this turn I can activate Trap Cards from my hand. First, this one..."
Yugen waved a hand, and Trap Cards floated before him.
"Trap Card 'High-speed Chanting!'
Discard a Magic Card from the hand, this Trap can activate as that card's effect! As a price, you cannot activate any Magic Cards next turn!" (Original Card)
In the final turn from the Dark Side of the Dimensions used by President Kaiba. He used this Trap to replicate Tabletop Game's gifted card 'Revive the Dead'.
Of course, using an opponent's gifted card in a duel—especially one given by Tabletop Game—its outcome is predictable.
Yugen sent a card from his hand to the graveyard.
"I discard the Magic Card 'Super Warrior's Bud' from my hand and acquire that effect!" Yugen said, "From the hand, I use a Level 4 Light Attribute 'Pioneer Knight' and from the deck a Level 4 Dark Attribute 'Knight of the Night,' as Ritual Materials for the ritual!"
Performing a ritual summon to the 'Chaos Warrior' in the graveyard!"
"Ha, so it's finally appeared, the strongest form of Chaos Warrior," Kaiba snorted.
Super Warrior's Bud, as long as the combined levels for the Ritual Summon total eight stars, can use Light and Dark attribute monsters respectively from the hand and deck as materials to perform a Ritual Summon to the Chaos Warrior in hand or graveyard.
"One soul guides the light, another soul guides the darkness, the gate of chaos opens here—"
Two swordsmen transformed into beams of light and dark crisscrossing, descending to the ground. A whirlwind of chaos surged, then was cleaved open by the light and dark swords.
Chaos Warrior, descends!
[Chaos Warrior, Attack Power 3000]
Marufuji Ryo: "To summon the legendary warrior at such a crucial moment..."
"It's too strong, too strong, Yugen!" Judai couldn't help but exclaim.
Although still in the battle phase, Chaos Warrior cannot use the "banish a monster from the game" effect, but he still has the effect of consecutive attacks.
Kaiba's field now has only White Spirit Dragon left. Although having been turned into defense mode by the Dragon Destruction Sword's effect, Chaos Warrior's first strike will break White Spirit Dragon, triggering the consecutive attack effect to directly attack, ending the duel.
"No way..."
Marufuji Ryo murmured, involuntarily looking at Yugen.
This guy, could he really defeat the legendary Seto Kaiba...
"Chaos Warrior's attack, first strike," Yugen announced, "Attacking 'White Spirit Dragon!'"
Chaos Warrior soared up, spinning his form half-circle before descending in a storm of sword silhouettes!
Kaiba gazed at the endless sword silhouettes, momentarily seeming somewhat entranced.
Chaos Warrior.
What a nostalgic monster.
Come to think of it, this duel so far seems to have always been this way. The Destruction Sword from earlier too, Super Electromagnetic Turtle too, not to mention his lifelong rival "Miscellaneous Monster" Chestnut Ball, and so on...
Currently under the sword-light of Chaos Warrior, through the myriad of blade silhouettes, he sensed the opponent's chest ornament faintly glowing.
For a moment, he couldn't quite distinguish if he was facing Yugen or an old enemy.
With these years of advancements, the all-encompassing enhancement of Blue-Eyes, not to mention even a monster as powerful as Light Dragon...
Even achieving this, can he still not defeat that guy?
"Brother!"
Keihei had already called out with worry.
Kaiba: "..."
No.
Even if that guy comes here, he won't lose anymore.
This was something he had long decided.
At the next meeting, to greet him as the Duel King...
"Activate Speed Attack Magic 'Dark Demon Rebirth'!" Kaiba shouted.
Also a card from DM, but revised into a Trap Card upon physical card production years later, specifically limited as a Winged Divine Dragon exclusive to restore the original anime scene.
Though in the anime it was an unrestricted generic card.
"Dark Demon Rebirth, can only be activated during an opponent's attack declaration," Kaiba said solemnly, "Allows you to acquire the effect of a Magic Card in the opponent's graveyard!" (Original Effect)
Yugen frowned: "The Magic Cards in my graveyard..."
In an instant, all magic cards existing in his graveyard were released as projections, floating in the air.
"Heh, it seems your 'Fusion Birth' threw quite the card aside along with the Executioner, let me borrow it.
Acquiring the effect of the card in your graveyard—
——Magic Card 'Revive the Dead', reviving monsters in both our graveyards onto my field!
Yugen frowned.
It must be President Kaiba, to still come up with such unexpected means at the very end.
And considering it's President Kaiba, the monster he's determined to resurrect will, of course, be...
"Come back, Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!!!"
