Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1530 Silver Dragon
"Between 'nothingness' and 'infinity,' activate the Continuous Trap 'Darkness 1'!" Darkness shouted. "Darkness 1's effect is to destroy any card on your opponent's field!"

Seahorse is starting to understand the mechanics of the trap combination on the other side.

Among the five face-down cards, one is "Void" and the other is "Infinity," and these two are activation cards.

A trap sandwiched between two cards can only be activated when both Void and Infinity are activated simultaneously. For example, the Continuous Trap "Darkness 1" that is currently being activated has the effect of destroying a card on the field.

The other two face-down cards, Seahorse, haven't been revealed yet, but it's safe to assume they have similar functional effects to Darkness 1.

Because the positions of the five face-down cards are completely random, Darkness itself cannot decide which trap can be activated this turn. This is because only traps between the cards "Void" and "Infinite" can be activated, and which of the other three traps will be randomly placed between Void and Infinite is completely random.

If you're incredibly lucky and Void and Infinity happen to be face-down on the far left and far right of the field, then all three face-down cards between them can be activated, maximizing your gains.

If you're extremely unlucky and the face-down positions of the cards Void and Infinity are right next to each other, then there's nothing between them, and Darkness's trap combo will have no cards available this turn.

“But if the positions of the five face-down cards are completely random, you yourself shouldn’t know where the ‘Void’ and ‘Infinity’ cards are,” Kaiba said calmly. “So how did you manage to activate the ‘Void’ and ‘Infinity’ cards so precisely?”

Darkness let out a sinister laugh and gestured with his skeletal fingers to the wide-open, eerie eye on the field.

“The effect of Dark Eye,” Darkness said. “When Dark Eye is on the field, if my opponent summons a monster, I can ignore the effect of the Field Spell 'Dark Eye' and have one chance to check all the Faceless Void cards in my Spell & Trap Zone.”

"As expected, I knew it would be like this." The seahorse chuckled.

When he saw that eerie eye, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what might be going on. Sure enough, that eye actually represented the Eye of Darkness, just like giving him the ability to see in complete darkness.

"So even though your Blue-Eyes evolution has granted you Synchro power, you should still be destroyed before the overwhelming power of Darkness!"

Darkness pointed to the Blue-Eyes Dragon.

"Disappear, Blue-Eyes Dragon!"

Then, electricity surged from both the Void and Infinity cards, flowing into the Dark Trap Card as if charging itself. The electricity then transformed into piercing lightning, striking straight through the Blue-Eyes Dragon's chest like a bolt of lightning piercing the clouds.

However, the scene of the Blue-Eyes Dragon exploding as Darkness had anticipated did not occur. Instead, the Blue-Eyes Dragon's body suddenly became ethereal, then translucent, before transforming into a holy white light that dispersed into countless points of light.

The light spots condensed but did not disperse; although they disintegrated, they did not disappear but instead condensed again.

It was still a dragon with a completely silvery-white body, but this time the dragon that appeared was not a dreamlike elf, but had a body covered in thick scales like armor.

Its wings unfurled like steel, its body crashed down like a fortress. Its long neck lashed through the air, and the blue-eyed dragon roared, spewing forth azure flames.

Darkness: "What?"

"Hahaha, you waited until I Synchro Summoned before activating your trap, probably hoping to maximize my resource loss by destroying the Synchro Summoned monster, right? But too bad!"

The seahorse laughed heartily.

"Blue-Eyes Fairy Dragon's monster effect! During either your or your opponent's turn, Fairy Dragon can Tribute itself to Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type LIGHT Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck in Defense Position, except for 'Blue-Eyes Fairy Dragon'!" The newly summoned dragon on the field burst forth with a dazzling white light. The light did not dissipate but instead enveloped the silver dragon's body like a transparent barrier of light.

Kaiba: "I Special Summon 'Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon' from my Extra Deck!"

[Azure-Eyed Silver Dragon, Defense 3000]

"Another new Synchro Dragon," Darkness said in a low voice. "That annoying light."

“Normally, monsters Special Summoned by the effect of Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon during the End Phase are automatically destroyed,” Kaiba said, arms crossed. “But the monster effect of ‘Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon’ is that if this card is Special Summoned, all Dragon monsters on your field will not be destroyed by card effects or targeted by any card effects until the End Phase of the next turn.”

With a defense of 3,000 and strong resistance to effect disruption and targeting, it is already a very powerful barrier.

Darkness: "A dragon that strengthens its defenses?"

"That's not all!" Kaiba exclaimed, "Then, the effect of 'Ancient White Stone,' which was sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material this turn, also activated!"

The white light once again condensed into a perfectly round, jade-like white stone on the seahorse field.

"During the End Phase of the turn I sent the ancient white stone to the Graveyard, Special Summon a 'Blue-Eyes' monster from my Deck. Appear once more, my strongest servant—"

—Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

The storm rises again, and the dragon king, bathed in light, reappears in the hurricane, descending as if protecting the seahorse behind him.

"The round is over," Kaiba said. "Darkness, is it? If you dare to challenge my Blue Eyes, then go ahead and try. But no matter what you do, my absolute power will utterly crush you without mercy!"

Darkness said, "As expected, absolute confidence, and unwavering determination to move forward at all times. Seto Kaiba, this makes you powerful, but it also makes you dangerous and exceptionally annoying."

Seahorse crossed his arms and laughed, "Is that so? I'll thank you for your recognition, though. But don't get me wrong, that doesn't change the fact that you're about to be utterly humiliated by my Qingyan."

"Your arrogance is unnecessary in the will of Darkness, Seto Kaiba. Everyone has darkness within them, especially the strongest duelists. You're trying to hide something with this arrogance and hubris, so let me see."

Darkness spread his five fingers, and a new card appeared in his hand, floating in mid-air.

“My turn, draw a card,” Darkness said. “I normally summon ‘Dark Thorns’.”

At first, it looked like a few dark seeds were scattered on his field, sinking into the ground after a ripple like water. Just a second later, ferocious thorns burst forth from the ground, growing excessively, with thorny green leaves blooming and several thorny vines waving in the air.
