Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon can only activate its effect if Blue-Eyes White Dragon is in my field or graveyard," he said, reaching into his deck and drawing a card he had searched. "The first effect is that if Blue-Eyes White Dragon is successfully Normal or Special Summoned, add one Ritual Spell Card or Fusion Card from my Deck to my hand."

"The card I added to my hand is the Ritual Spell Card [Chaos Form]!"

Upon hearing this, Keihei, standing off the field, revealed a delighted expression: "Great! With [Chaos Form] and [Blue Eyes], Nissama is going to summon that monster, right? That [Blue Eyes Chaos Dragon]. The powerful ability to force all monsters on the opponent's field to change their appearance and reduce their ATK and DEF to zero simply by declaring an attack, plus the DEF piercing effect, can easily cripple any opponent!"

"【Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon】?" Amelda was reminded by Keihei that the monster was troublesome. Not only could it forcibly change a monster's Attack and Defense status when declaring an attack, but it could also strip the opponent's monster of its Attack and Defense. In addition, it had strong resistances that prevented it from becoming a target of monster effects or being destroyed by monster effects.

Not long ago, during the operation to infiltrate the Seahorse Corporation in order to steal the "Obelisk the Tormentor", Ameluda had encountered this monster once after facing the Seahorse, and the impression was quite deep.

After all, back then, if it weren't for a targeted [Stamina Boost - Super Z], Amelda would have almost had her defenses pierced by [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] and her Elemental Points reduced to almost nothing.

Thinking of this, Ameruda smiled.

"【Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon】Ah, is that the other card you just drew from the Pot of Greed the same monster? Tch, what a useful card. You managed to create a glimmer of hope even in a hopeless situation."

“But Seto Kaiba, even the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon’s ability to strip monsters of their power is no match for my vengeful fury incarnate—the Machine Force: Destruction Force. You remember its effect, right?” Amelda sneered smugly. “If it’s activated during the battle phase, I can pay half of my Life Points to nullify it and reduce your Life Points by half.”

"This effect doesn't apply to your [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon], its resistances won't work!"

Seeing Ameruda's confident assertion, Kaiba laughed as well: "Hmph, if it's the [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon], then it is indeed as you say, unable to break through the barrier of the [Mech Force - Destruction Armed Force]. But stop being so smug, you idiot!"

"Activate the Ritual Spell Card [Chaos Mode], Tribute my Level 8 [Blue-Eyes Dragon] on the field to make its total Level 8 or higher, Special Summon a [Chaos] Ritual Monster from my hand!"

Kaiba inserts the newly added Chaos Mode into his Duel Disk and activates it. He then draws a card from his hand, revealing its blue border, which belongs to a Ritual Monster: "This is the strongest evolved Dragon-type monster that my deck has delivered to me in response to my call. Open your eyes wide and watch closely, Amelda!"

"The power of chaos, evolved to its ultimate form under the influence of the power of the abyss, is now swung down upon you, a whip known as the Whip of Utter Defeat!!"

"Ritual Summoning!"

"Brues Chaos Max Doragon!!!"

Space is collapsing;

Time is frozen;

Darkness and light merge into one, transforming into a substantial chaos;

The enormous white dragon opened its blue eyes, its wings, seemingly from another dimension and full of sci-fi flair, spread out as if to blot out the sky, and its robust body stood firmly on the earth. This ultimate ritual monster roared amidst the seahorse's loud laughter!

"Roar!"

Chapter 611 Triple Strike!

[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] [ATK4000]

As a deck that focuses on aggressive tactics, many monsters in the Blue-Eyes White Dragon series possess a unique beauty of power, making you feel the destructive force of the monster just by looking at it. Their overall appearance tends to be neutral.

Among them, there are also monsters full of feminine beauty, such as the [Abyss-Eyed White Dragon] and the [Abyss Blue-Eyed Dragon] that Kaiba just used.

However, the [Azure-Eyed Chaos Extreme Dragon] that appeared at this moment can be said to be the other extreme completely different from the [Abyss-Eyed White Dragon], that is, domineering and majestic with full masculine energy.

To give an analogy, if the Blue-Eyes White Dragon is a dashing young woman, then the Abyssal White Dragon is her "bridal" form in a wedding dress, and the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon is the cousin of a world boxing champion who, upon learning that you are going to marry the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, rushes over to beat you up.

"Attack power, 4000 points?! That's already on par with the power of the [Obelisk the Tormentor]!" Seeing the appearance of the [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon], Guiping excitedly clenched his fist. "In that case, Nissama could... huh?"

"No, that's not right. Even if the attack power is higher, the attack power of the [Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon] is still only 4000 points. The defense power of the [Mech Force - Destruction Armed Force] is still higher!"

[Mech Force - Destroying Armed Forces] [DEF4100]

"Hmph, a new [Chaos] ritual, huh? Although it's more powerful than the [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon], it still can't break through my [Mech Force: Destruction Force]." Amelda said with a sneer, "In the end, it's just a pretty target. Next turn, I only need to use [Mech Force: Destruction Force] to attack, and you'll lose, Seto Kaiba."

Upon hearing Ameruda's words, Kaiba's lips curled into a smile. He took out a card from the graveyard, the [Blue-Eyes Dragon of the Abyss], which had just been sent there: "Fool, don't make me repeat myself. I said before that what you need to witness is the ultimate power of pure white and chaos at the end of time."

"My formula for victory is far more perfect than you can imagine!"

"I activate the effect of [Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon] in my Graveyard, banishing [Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon] from my Graveyard," Kaiba said, pointing to [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] on his field. "It increases the ATK of all Level 8 or higher Dragon monsters on my field by 1000!"

"What?!"

To Ameluda's surprise, the illusory form of the Abyss Blue-Eyes Dragon emerged from the ground behind Kaiba, transforming into a patch of purplish-blue energy. Meanwhile, the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon on Kaiba's field suddenly spread its wings, absorbing the energy completely and drastically increasing its attack power!

[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] [ATK4000→5000]

"It's not over yet! I'll activate my back row face-down card again, the Trap Card [Tyrant Wing]!" Kaiba pressed the activation button again. "After activation, [Tyrant Wing] will be equipped to [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] as an Equip Card, increasing its ATK and DEF by 400 points, further increasing its ATK by 400 points!"

With the activation of the Trap Card, the already enhanced power of [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] after absorbing [Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon] is further amplified.

“Why keep increasing its attack power again and again? What is the reason for this?” Ameruda didn’t understand why Kaiba would continue to increase the attack power of [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] after it had already exceeded the defense power of [Mech Force: Destruction Force]. However, following the activation of [Tyrant Wing], Kaiba finally played the last card in his hand.

"Finally, here's the [Fang of Critia] in my hand." Looking at the "Legendary Dragon" [Fang of Critia] card in his hand, whose effect he still didn't know, Kaiba chose to take a gamble, hoping that the card would respond to his expectations and be inserted into the Duel Disk.

With the card played, the "Legendary Dragon" [Fang of Critia] appeared on Kaiba's field.

"Is that the 'Legendary Dragon'? The 'Legendary Dragon' that Lord Dartz has always been wary of?" Seeing Kaiba using the [Fang of Critia], Amelda temporarily put aside her doubts about Kaiba's constant increase in monster attack power and focused on the more important "Legendary Dragon".

Theoretically speaking, this is the second time Amelda has seen this "Legendary Dragon". The last time was at the International Illusion Society. When Amelda and Kaiba were about halfway through their duel, Kaiba inexplicably awakened this "Legendary Dragon". However, before Kaiba could use the power of this "Legendary Dragon", a sudden collapse occurred, forcing Amelda to retreat and interrupt the duel.

Therefore, Ameruda was seeing for the first time what kind of power the Fang of Critia truly possessed.

Once it appeared on the field, [Fang of Critia] was just like an ordinary Duel Monster that had been summoned. It didn't have any overwhelming power or surging aura. It just quietly stayed on Kaiba Stadium and then released its power to subtly influence everything around it.

Kaiba had a rather strange feeling at this moment. He didn't know what kind of power the card [Fang of Critia] had or how to use it until he played it. But after activating it, he suddenly understood the power of [Fang of Critia] and also learned about some of the powers of the other "Legendary Dragons".

The power of the Eye of Timaeus that the game possesses is "justice." By resonating with the justice in the hearts of monsters, it awakens the powerful dormant power within them and transforms them into even stronger forms. To some extent, this can be seen as the power of "bonds."

The Hermes Claw within the castle possesses the power of "freedom," granting the power of the monsters residing within the card freedom, allowing them to transcend their original constraints and transform into another form. This transcendence can even surpass "fate."

The power of the [Fang of Critia] is called "wisdom," which is the ability to transform external objects for one's own use, change the world through belief, and guide destiny in the direction one needs.

Even Kaiba had to admit that this effect was exactly what he wanted, almost like a power destined for him. Because, like the power of the Fang of Critia, Kaiba himself was the kind of person who would use external forces to become stronger, but would never change his true nature.

He also harbored a yearning to change the world, and the power of the [Fang of Critia] seemed tailor-made for him.

Of course, before changing the world, the first thing Kaiba needs to do is win this duel.

"【The Fang of Critia】has the ability to absorb my cards and transform itself. By combining 【Tyrant Wing】 and 【The Fang of Critia】 on my field, a new form will be awakened!"

"By my will, I will guide the world onto the path of destiny. Come forth, my—"

With his hand on the Duel Disk, Kaiba drew the card "Fang of Critia" that he had activated earlier, only to find that a pair of transparent hands had appeared beside him and were also touching the card "Fang of Critia".

Turning his head, the seahorse froze, for he saw a white-haired woman floating beside him, gazing at him with beautiful blue eyes.

The woman's figure was so ethereal that the seahorse could even see the wall behind her through her body, but at this moment, the seahorse could not take its eyes off the woman's face.

I'm absolutely certain I've seen those eyes somewhere before—those bluish eyes, what on earth are they—?

“Seto…” With a smile, the woman called out to the seahorse, as if calling his name, but after that, the white-haired girl in front of her seemed to dissipate like smoke in the wind.

Is this an illusion?

However, not only Kaiba, but also Ameruda, who was standing opposite Kaiba, and even Keibai, who was not in the duel, all of those present saw the woman's presence.

"That woman... what exactly happened just now?" Ameruda frowned, puzzled by what was happening before her eyes. Keihei was equally confused.

Even Kaiba was somewhat bewildered by what was happening. Glancing at the hand he had instinctively reached out when he witnessed the girl vanish, Kaiba took a deep breath and looked at the [Critia Fang] on his field.

For some reason, Kaiba felt that the girl's appearance was related to the somewhat listless [Fang of Critia]. But before figuring out what was going on, the duel had to continue.

Kaiba draws the cards "Fang of Critia" and "Tyrant's Wing" and sends them to the graveyard, raising his hand: "Then, spread your storm wings and soar, legendary dragon, descend upon this land!"

"【Tyrant Explosive Wind Dragon】!"

By fusing the Tyrant Wings, originally equipped on Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, with itself, the shape of the dragon wings on the back of Critia's Fang changed. The wingspan was almost longer than the entire dragon, and finally, the attack power and other stats that a Duel Monster should have appeared on it.

【Tyrant Explosive Wind Dragon】【8☆/Light】

[Dragon/Fusion/Effect]

[2900/2500]

"【Tyrant Blast Dragon】is 【Critia's Fang】after absorbing 【Tyrant Wing】. It will inherit the power of 【Tyrant Wing】 and can be equipped as an Equip Card for my 【Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon】 on the field." Kaiba looked at the power on 【Tyrant Blast Dragon】 and smiled with satisfaction, saying, "Absorb the power of the 'Legendary Dragon' and bring me victory, 【Blue-Eyes】!"

Following Kaiba's command, the Tyrant Storm Dragon, which had just appeared, only had a few seconds of glory before it had to be used as an equipment card to provide power for the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon. In the blink of an eye, the huge dragon turned into a beam of light and merged into the dragon wings on the back of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, transforming into magnificent golden wings that unfurled.

[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] [ATK5000→5400]

"Then, let's move on to my battle phase. Accept this defeat, Ameruda." Kaiba waved forward and pointed at [Mech Force: Destruction Force], saying, "[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon], attack [Mech Force: Destruction Force]!"

"Complete, complete, defeat, north, Burst Stream!!"

The imposing white dragon gathered an ominous bluish-purple beam of light in its mouth, ready to fire. Only then did Kaiba speak with a rather wicked grin: "In addition to having the same resistances as Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon—that it cannot be targeted by the opponent's effects and cannot be destroyed by them—its second effect is that it can penetrate the defense of a monster when attacking it in Defense Position!"

"Furthermore, unlike other third-rate monsters, the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon's defense penetration ability deals double damage!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing Kaiba's words, Ameruda's eyes widened as she looked at her own [Mech Force - Destruction Force].

In the blink of an eye, the attack from the Blue-Eyed Chaos Dragon was unleashed while Ameruda was still stunned, slamming heavily into the Mech Force - Destruction Force.

Even with its superior defense, which surpasses most Duel Monsters, the [Mech Force: Destruction Force] could only block the [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon]'s attack, which was pushed to its limit, for a mere instant before being destroyed and sent to the graveyard. The remaining dragon breath seemed undiminished and rushed straight towards Ameruda!

The attack power of the [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] is 5400 points, which is 1300 points higher than the defense power of the [Mech Force - Destruction Armed Force] of 4100 points. After doubling, that is a full 2600 points of damage!

"Whoa!" With just one strike, Ameruda was instantly sent flying, landing awkwardly on the ground, his base score plummeting.

[Ameruda: 4000→1400LP]

The first damage inflicted at the start of the duel was such a fierce impact. Even though the duel hadn't turned into a Dark Game because Amelda hadn't drawn the [Orichalcos Barrier] yet, the attack from [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] still caused substantial damage thanks to the combined power of [Blue-Eyes] and [Cridia's Fang].

After all, Blue-Eyes is very vengeful; she still remembers the damage Amelda did to Kaiba last round.

Standing up and catching his breath, Amelda sent the card "Mech Force: Destruction Force" from his Duel Disk to the Graveyard, saying, "Due to being destroyed in battle by 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon,' the effect of 'Mech Force: Destruction Force' has activated!"

"Special Summon two [Mech] monsters on my field in Defense Position: the 8-star [Mech Radiation Soldier] and the 4-star [Mech Destroyer Reserve], which have a combined Level of 12 or less and banish me!"

"Although this blow was indeed heavy, my flames of revenge will not be extinguished. In the next round, I will still revive the power of [Mech Force - Destruction Armament] from the graveyard. At that time, the attack power of [Blue-Eyes Chaos Extreme Dragon], which has lost the power of [Abyssal Blue-Eyes Dragon], will drop back to 4400 points!"

"I, Ameruda, am the victor of this duel, and that has never changed!" Ameruda stared intently at Kaiba. "All your efforts until now have been nothing but foolish struggles!"

Upon hearing Ameruda's words, Kaiba merely sneered: "Foolish?"

"You've been saying all along that you hate the Kaiba Group and despise the war that killed your brother, but Ameruda, can't you see what you're doing right now? The War Incarnation [Machine] deck you're using, and your actions of serving Doma—aren't you just following in the footsteps of Gosaburo Kaiba?!"

"War is wrong, and the foolish one is clearly you who know it's wrong but can't extricate yourself from hatred!"

"It is my [Blue Eyes] that will punish you, and I will use the following attack to punish your foolishness!"

Ameruda's pupils contracted: "The next attack?"
