Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

Upon hearing this, Kaiba snorted coldly and looked at Jaden, who had already secured his victory: "So, Izuwataka?"

"Ok?"

After replying to Jaden, Kaiba didn't rush to do anything. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Hayato and Yugi beside him.

"Hayato, Yugi, you two always manage to do things beyond your opponents' expectations. You can instantly devise and implement solutions to any unexpected situation during a duel, and you can even anticipate your opponent's thoughts and react accordingly."

Even at a complete disadvantage, you can still fight on with a smile and emerge victorious.

"The strange occurrence in the central square just now must mean you've defeated some powerful enemy again. It seems you haven't become complacent after your victory and are still growing stronger."

'My deck yearns to defeat you, my heart burns with a fierce fighting spirit, and before I do, I will evolve alongside [Blue-Eyes] until I catch up with you and surpass you!'

The seahorse glanced at the card in its hand and a smile crept onto its lips.

"After destroying [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], you thought you had secured victory, completely unaware of what kind of being you had awakened." Kaiba raised the cards in his hand above his head, and as he did so, the sky suddenly darkened, even though he hadn't activated any field spell cards.

"When [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] was destroyed, the Ultimate Dragon in my hand met the conditions for being played!"

"The endless expanse of time is hidden within the primordial white power; stretch out your trembling feathers amidst the echoing resonance of intertwined souls, and emerge from the azure abyss!"

As Kaiba uttered those somewhat awkward but powerfully dramatic lines in his magnetic voice, the ice sculpture of the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon radiated light.

However, despite being pure white light, it gave the impression of swallowing everything and dragging it into the abyss.

"What is that?!" Yusei's eyes widened as he saw the dragon shape spreading its wings in the light as the ice sculpture of the [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] gradually cracked.

"If you hoped that the ice seal could freeze [Blue Eyes] to the end of time, then now, awaken from the seal at the end of time!"

With a loud shout, the seahorse finally broke through the ice and emerged as a winged white dragon!

"Deep-Eyes-White-Dragon!!"

"Woohoohoohoo!!!"

【Abyss-Eyed White Dragon】【10☆/Light】

[Dragon Clan/Effect]

[0/0]

Even Hayato and Yugi were seeing a new white dragon for the first time. Summoned by Kaiba, Yugi was astonished by Kaiba's gaze upon the strange and beautiful form of the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], so different from the other [Blue-Eyes] dragons, as if it came from another dimension. Even Yugi could hardly remain calm: "It's a [White Dragon] with 0 attack power!"

Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a card that has "aggressive attack" etched into its DNA. Other derivatives of Blue-Eyes White Dragon also inherit this characteristic. However, Kaiba, who always looks down on monsters with weak attack power, actually put a monster with 0 attack power in his deck?

"When a Blue-Eyes monster is destroyed, I can Special Summon Abyssal White Dragon from my hand. Then, when Abyssal White Dragon is Special Summoned with this effect, my opponent will also suffer the wrath of the Graveyard Dragon from the Abyss, which descends at the same time as Abyssal White Dragon!"

The ring connecting the wings on the back of the [Abyss-Eyed White Dragon] lit up, and as the wings flapped, stardust fell on the ground, which then ignited with blue flames and transformed into the images of the monsters in the Seahorse Graveyard!

Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!

Guided by the power of the [Abyss Eye White Dragon], the four-souled dragons, though clearly phantoms, made a breathing motion and actually unleashed four attacks at Jaden!

"Uh!"

[Yujo Jaden: 4000 → 1600 LP]

"Each dragon in the graveyard will deal 600 points of effect damage to the opponent, and the [Abyssal White Dragon] can inherit the power of the [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] in the graveyard!"

【Abyss Eye White Dragon】【0/0→4500/0】

Kaiba looked at Jaden, whose Life Points had dropped significantly due to the bombardment by the four Blue-Eyes in the graveyard, and said in a deep voice, "Then, let's continue the unfinished battle, [Abyssal White Dragon]."

"Attack [E·hero Sunrise Warrior]!"

"Burst Stream of the Abyss!!"

"Wow!"

[Tenth Generation: 1600 → 200 LP]

The [E·hero Sunrise] with an attack power of 3100 points could not stop the [Abyssal White Dragon] which inherited the attack power of the [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], reaching as high as 4500 points. It was directly destroyed and sent to the graveyard. Jaden's base points dropped by another 1400 points, leaving him with only 200 LP.

"Now your Life Points are practically gone, kid," Kaiba said with a sneer. If it were a True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, it could have attacked twice more to completely wipe out Jaden's Life Points, which would have been a fatal blow. Unfortunately, it couldn't be.

Unaware that he had set a "last candle in the wind" flag, Kaiba ended his battle phase after all his monsters had attacked. However, just when Jaden thought he was going to set a card to end his turn, Kaiba played the last card in his hand.

"During my second Main Phase, I activate the Spell Card [Death Slayer Card], which replenishes my hand to five cards. In return, I discard all my cards during my Standby Phase five turns later."

Saying shameless things, Kaiba activated his last card, "Life-Slaying Treasure Card," and drew five cards in one go, then casually set four of them face down.

"I set three cards face down, then summon a monster face down in defense position. My turn ends."

Kaiba looked at Jaden with an air of smug satisfaction, as if victory was already in his grasp: "I can feel the winds of victory blowing from behind me, and you will be defeated at the start of your turn!"

Although Kaiba didn't say what card he had covered in the backcourt, Hayato, who knew Kaiba's three tricks perfectly well, had already guessed it from what he said.

"Wow, Seth has covered three mysterious cards! I can't wait to see what they are."

After Kaiba's turn ended, it was Jaden's turn. His fingers rested on the deck, and after he drew a card, it was time for his standby phase.

Then, if what Kaiba declared in the last round is true, then Jaden will lose the duel during the preparation phase. While he wouldn't be able to guess exactly what cards Kaiba had set down like Hayato, Jaden had at least a rough idea of ​​how.

'Although I don't know the true nature of the face-down monster, face-down monsters can't activate their effects, so it's most likely not related to that monster. If so, are those two face-down cards in the back row?'

Jaden looked at Kaiba's face-down card in the back row, pondering, 'The only way to use it during the Preparation Phase is through effect damage? Tsk, if Hayato had attacked just now, he would have definitely used [Summoning Exophysis] to release [Abyssal Eye White Dragon], and wouldn't have had this chance to draw a card now.'

'In this situation, the card in my deck that can turn the tide is...'

Jaden remembered a card from his deck and a smile crept onto his face.

"With 200 life points versus 4000 life points, the outcome hinges on this card. But true duelists can even create their own future in terms of card draws."

"My turn, draw a card!"

As Jaden made the gesture of drawing a card, Kaiba gave a cold smile and pressed the button to activate the face-down card: "Since you've drawn a card, it means you're prepared for defeat. During your preparation phase, I'll reveal the face-down card!"

"Trap Card [Destruction Wheel]: Destroy one face-up monster on the field, then both monsters take damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK!"

"The monster I choose is [Abyssal White Dragon], which I control with 4500 ATK! Destroy it and send it to the Graveyard, then inflict 4500 effect damage to both duelists!"

From the card that Kaiba opened, an iron ring with eight grenades attached appeared and was placed around the neck of [Abyssal White Dragon], who had been chosen by Kaiba. Upon seeing [Abyssal White Dragon] with the "collar" on, Kaiba inexplicably turned his head away in silence.

Yusei said with some confusion, "Huh? 4500 points of effect damage, wouldn't that wipe out both players' Life Points? Also, I remember that the effect of [Destruction Wheel] is to target an opponent's monster with less than their Life Points, deduct your own Life Points first, and then inflict damage on the opponent equal to the value you received, right?"

"Well, our Great Qing Dynasty has its own national conditions. It's quite normal for the [Destruction Wheel] effect to degrade after a few decades," Hayato said, spreading his hands. "As for 'mutual destruction' and such, I'll have to explain some basic knowledge here."

"Just like how gamers are good at switching players and Jonouchi is good at rolling dice, how can a true duelist not have a set of signature moves? Kaiba's specialty is gluing his deck with glue."

“The three Blue-Eyes always appear together with Fusion, Shrink and Death Deck Destruction Virus, and…” Hayato looked at Kaiba’s back row and the second card that opened immediately after Destruction Wheel, without any surprise, “Destruction Wheel and Defense Wheel.”

Completely ignoring what cards Jaden drew and whether there was any timing involved, Kaiba activated his second face-down card in the back row: "Quick-Play Spell Card [Defense Wheel], effect: reduces the effect damage of one Trap Card to 0."

"Your base score is only 200 points. Next, you will suffer 4500 points of effect damage from [Destruction Wheel], while I will not suffer any damage because of the effect of [Defense Wheel]."

Kaiba narrowed his eyes as he looked at the card Jaden drew. "Perhaps you do have some connection with that Hayato Kobayashi guy, but unfortunately, even if you try to release a monster using a card like 'Mysterious Chinese Pot' to deal a full 4500 points of damage, it's just a drop in the ocean. Victory is already in my pocket!"

Hearing this, Judai smiled helplessly: "Indeed, in this situation, no matter how many cards you use to restore base points, it's useless if you can't restore more than 4300 points in one go. You simply can't resist such high damage."

As Jaden finished speaking, the Destruction Wheel and the Defense Wheel on Kaiba's field began to spin simultaneously. Just when Kaiba thought that Jaden had given up the duel because he had no chance of winning, Jaden suddenly raised his head, revealing his heterochromatic eyes, one orange and one green.

"However, since the power of the heroes of justice is useless, let's use the power of destruction to turn the tide!"

"The Quick-Play Spell Card [Offering to the Dead] allows me to skip my next draw phase and target one face-up monster on the field, destroying it." Jaden's finger pointed to the [Destruction Wheel] ring around his neck, which was about to explode. "If I destroy [Abyssal White Dragon] before it's destroyed, the effect of [Destruction Wheel] won't work!"

"This is the same principle as killing the hostages in advance to prevent them from taking hostages hostage!"

Jaden inserted the "Offering to the Dead" card from his hand into the Spell & Trap Zone of the Duel Disk. On Kaiba's field, "Abyssal White Dragon," while enduring the "Destruction Wheel" that was about to kill him from the neck, discovered that countless bandages were rising from the ground, defying gravity and reaching into the air like countless tentacles that bound him up and dragged him back down to the ground!

In short, the scene might seem extremely erotic to those with a penchant for dragon-related content, with wedding dresses, collars, bondage, and pill-swallowing.

Kaiba was taken aback when he saw the card that Judai activated, and he narrowed his eyes to examine Judai.

"Hmph, it's not the boring 'bonds' of games, nor the troublesome 'sacrifice' of Hayato, but 'destruction'?"

Although Kaiba didn't understand how Jaden's eyes had suddenly changed color, he figured it was probably just a trick like him suddenly putting on colored contact lenses. However, Kaiba suddenly found Jaden's fighting style quite interesting.

A hot-blooded youth who doesn't think too much, a mature warrior who has endured pain, and a conqueror who has clearly seen the darkness join in and reigns supreme—even though it's the same person using the same deck, Kaiba can sense three different duelist souls.

Although Kaiba still doesn't believe Jaden's claim of coming from the future, he is at least certain that Jaden is not completely learning Hayato's dueling style, but is forging his own path.

“That makes more sense. But don’t get one thing wrong, kid who calls himself ‘Judai Yuki,’” Kaiba said with a sneer. “When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. The third effect of [Abyss Eye White Dragon] will activate when it is destroyed!”

"Drag all of your opponent's monsters into the endless abyss!"

The bandages created by the offering to the dead successfully dragged the seahorse's "Abyssal White Dragon" into the graveyard, leaving behind only the "Destruction Wheel" which had generated a useless explosion and the "Defense Wheel" which had provided no real defense. However, before the crack in the ground closed, the "Abyssal White Dragon" struggled to unleash its final attack.

A burst of breath shot into the air, transforming into a sphere. From this sphere, like a peacock spreading its tail, dense beams of light rained down on the ground, accompanied by a carpet bombing of laser beams. Despite the timely reaction and valiant resistance of Jaden's two monsters, the overwhelming power of [Abyssal White Dragon] destroyed Jaden's [E. Hero Shadow Mist Lady] and [M. Hero Acid], sending them to the graveyard.

Even before the main phase had begun, Jaden and Kaiba engaged in a fierce battle, clearing out all the monsters on their fields and leaving each player with only two face-down cards.

"When it comes to destructive power, my Blue Eyes is second to none. Trying to win by such means is just wishful thinking."

Although Kaiba spoke with his usual arrogance, not taking Jaden seriously, those familiar with Kaiba could see the admiration in his eyes for Jaden.

Despite the influence of Yugi Muto and Yugi (primarily due to Yugi's defeat with Exodia), which helped Kaiba understand the "power" and "heart" of the cards, humans are always prone to preconceived notions. Even though Kaiba understood the "heart" of the cards, he still habitually pursued the "power" of the cards.

However, the duelists who can actually hold their own against him...

Yugi doesn't usually initiate duels, and even when he does, he often uses cards like "Demon Chain" and "Magic Cylinder" to annoy Kaiba, who is good at high attacks.

When Jonouchi fights, he's just as reckless as Kaiba, but Kaiba's style is to overpower and suppress with absolute power, while Jonouchi is a tough duelist who struggles and teeters on the edge of being killed and surviving.

Hayato goes without saying; he either uses "Heartbreaker" to play the Minotaur tactic of pure love warrior's rage, or he uses "Hyperfusion" to fuse "Gaia" and "Blue Eyes," making the game experience the worst for Kaiba.

Only Yami Yugi would seriously use Dark Magician to fight against Kaiba's Blue-Eyes. And now, Jaden's fighting style has also been adopted by him.
