Is this the world of card dealers? Yada thieves!

[2500/2000]

"When [White Spirit Dragon] is successfully Summoned or Special Summoned, activate this effect: target 1 Spell/Trap Card on your opponent's field and banish it." Kaiba's target was the only face-down card in the back row of the mysterious man opposite him. "I've chosen that face-down card in your back row."

In contrast to the Blue-Eyes Steel Dragon, which negates the effects of monsters, the White Spirit Dragon has the ability to banish Spell & Trap Cards upon entering the battlefield. Unlike Hayato, who knows the specific effects of the Spell & Trap Cards from the Golden Country, Kaiba can only make judgments based on his own experience.

Unfortunately, the mysterious person, seeing that Kaiba was about to banish his own card, activated the face-down card directly.

"In that case, I'll chain the effect of [White Spirit Dragon] to activate my face-down card, the Quick-Play Spell Card [Albino Destiny Golden Kingdom Immortal Elixir]. Because of the reverse chaining, its effect will take effect before you banish this card."

The four processes of alchemy are "blackening", "whitening", "yellowing" and "redning". The cards for "blackening" and "redning" have already been used in previous duels. Now, the mysterious person activates the "whitening" card, which represents "union" [Whitening Destiny Golden Kingdom Elixir of Immortality].

"The effect of 【Albino Destiny's Golden Elixir of Immortality】: Special Summon 1 Zombie monster from my hand or Graveyard. If no 【Aldrich】 monster is on my field, only 【Aldrich】 monsters can be Special Summoned." The mysterious figure drew a card from his hand and played it. "Thanks to 【Heavenly Treasure】, I've drawn a lot of cards. I will Special Summon this monster from my hand in Defense Position!"

The beam of light emitted by the White Spirit Dragon annihilated and banished the Albino Destiny Golden Kingdom Elixir, preventing the Mysterious Man from banishing that card from the Graveyard again in the next turn to reactivate the cards in the Deck. However, the Albino Destiny Golden Kingdom Elixir's effect had already taken effect, and a monster appeared on its field.

[1800/200]

"Although it has an attack power of 1800, its defense power is only 200, which is enough to break through even the kind of weak monsters that Kobayashi Hayato and Muto Yugi like to use."

Upon hearing Kaiba's words, Rainbow Kuriboh immediately jumped out of Hayato's Duel Disk in dissatisfaction, grumbling at him. However, because it was so cute, even its swearing could be forgiven.

"Although you have an extra monster, it also means you're finally out of cards in your back row. I'm going to activate a Spell Card from my hand: Fusion!"

"Use the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my hand as fusion materials, descend, the strongest evolved dragon!"

"【True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon】!"

The three-body Blue-Eyes White Dragon soared up behind Kaiba, merging into one in mid-air and transforming into the ultimate dragon race, the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!

[True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] [ATK4500]

"When my Fusion Deck contains [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], I can activate the effect of [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] once per Duel, allowing it to attack three times during the Battle Phase." Kaiba looked at the four monsters on the mysterious man's field and sneered, "Entering the Battle Phase, you've been holding back for a long time, haven't you? [Blue-Eyes], then let's start crushing you!"

"Shattered! Crushed! Cheers!"

As Kaiba pointed at the Conqueror of the Golden Land, the Guardian of the Golden Land, and Eldridge the Golden Lord on the field, the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon behind him opened its mouth, and white light converged into it.

"Hyper Burst Stream!"

Chapter 883 Wash off the glue, President, this is pointless.

"Hyper Burst Stream!"

As Kaiba declared his attack with great momentum, his beloved Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon also launched an attack on the monsters on the Mysterious Man's field, with Eldridge the first to be hit.

As the duel progressed, Kaiba had pretty much figured it out. Although this mysterious guy's deck contained a lot of trap cards, the core of the deck was the Golden Lich. A series of Spell & Trap cards, such as "Golden Land" and "Golden Elixir of Immortality," were all activated around the monster "Eldridge."

Although he used the three-hit combo of [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] to destroy all the monsters on the opponent's field at once, Kaiba still chose to prioritize eliminating [Golden Lord Eldridge] the most.

The three-headed dragon's breath struck the golden lich, instantly melting its otherwise impractical, pure gold armor. The lich, who was supposed to be immortal, was thus destroyed and sent to the graveyard.

However, as the destruction occurred, looking at the seahorse and the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Eldridge, the Golden Lord, let out a sinister laugh, the meaning of which was unclear.

Ignoring the actions of the monster he had already destroyed, Kaiba once again chose the next target for Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

"Next up is the [Conqueror of the Golden Land]!"

"And then, the [Guardians of the Golden Land]!"

Two more attacks followed, and the [Conqueror of the Golden City], who had conquered nothing, and the [Guardian of the Golden City], who had defended nothing, followed in the footsteps of [Golden Lord Eldridge], being destroyed and sent to the graveyard.

Although the combo of [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] ended, because all three attacks were in defense position, the mysterious man did not suffer any damage from the attacks of [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon], and there was still a [Banshee of the Dead] in defense position on his field.

However, there is also a White Dragon on the field that has not yet made an attack.

Pointing at the mysterious, female-looking undead monster on the field, Kaiba coldly commanded, "Crush that last monster, [White Spirit Dragon], the Burst Stream of Annihilation!"

With a mere 200 defense points, "Banshee of the Corpse World" was no match for the 2500 attack power of "White Spirit Dragon," and was instantly destroyed and sent to the graveyard. At this point, both of Kaiba's monsters on the field had finished their attacks, and the mysterious man's field was completely cleared of cards.

Watching the [White Spirit Dragon] fall back onto Kaiba's field after its attack, even though he was the one with no cards left on the field, the mysterious person remained calm and said, "The [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]'s three-hit combo ability is indeed very powerful, but don't you guys always say that?"

"Powerful cards often come with great risks. After using the effect of the triple attack, the [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] will be destroyed and sent to the graveyard at the end of the battle phase, right? In that case, you will only have one [White Spirit Dragon] and one face-down card left on your field."

After a pause, the mysterious man habitually spread his hands and said, "On the other hand, although I don't have a single card left on my field, you helped me a lot by sending the 'Golden City' card to the graveyard. You shouldn't have forgotten that I used the effects of these cards in the graveyard during my previous turn, right, Seto Kaiba?"

"Although [Golden Lord Eldridge] was destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I will revive it using its own effect during my turn, and all the face-down cards that were swept away will also return. It's just that temporarily wiping out the cards on my field is meaningless. Muda muda muda, all of them are muda!"

As they talked, the mysterious man seemed to get excited, "Saying you want to end the duel this turn? That's nonsense! You don't have any monsters left to attack on the field. The winner isn't you, it's me!"

Upon hearing the man's words, Hayato shook his head: "From a general rational point of view, that is indeed true, but for a true duelist, one can never use common sense to speculate, especially Seth."

“Look at him, he’s already got the [True Blue Eyes] in his hand. Even if it were me, or even if it were Jonouchi, he could guess that the card is definitely in the remaining cards in that guy’s hand.” As he spoke, Hayato glanced at Kaiba. “If I use [Mental Collapse] on him, it’ll be a sure thing. It’s because he always glues those cards together.”

"Hmph, stop slandering me, Hayato Kobayashi. I'm not deaf; I can hear what you're saying."

Kaiba glared at Hayato, drew a card from his hand, and inserted it into the Spell & Trap Zone with Hayato's "See? I told you so" expression. During the Battle Phase, he activated the card, stating, "As a side effect of the full-power attack, [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] will indeed be sent to the Graveyard at the end of this Battle Phase."

"However, I won't let [Blue Eyes] leave my side and go to the graveyard so easily. My equation for victory is far more perfect than you imagine!"

"Quick-Play Spell Card: [Fusion Release]!"

"Remove the Fusion state of [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] and return it to the Fusion Deck," Kaiba said, removing the [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] card from the Duel Disk and expertly retrieving three cards from his Graveyard. "Special Summon from my Graveyard the Fusion Material used to Fusion Summon [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]—three [Blue-Eyes White Dragons]!"

"Come back to me, [Blue Eyes]!"

After completing its three-hit combo, the form of the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon dissipated, transforming into three beams of light that landed on Kaiba's field. Three enormous white dragons emerged from the light, flanking Kaiba and baring their fangs menacingly at the mysterious figure.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon] [ATK3000] X3

"Just now, what did you call yourself, the victor?" Kaiba sneered, looking at the silent, mysterious figure. He waved his hand and gave the order, "We are still in my battle phase. The Blue-Eyes White Dragons that I specially summoned can also attack. Let's see how you block this total of 9000 points of attack!"

"First body [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], attack!"

Although it seems like a rather outdated [Fusion] + [Fusion Deactivation] combo, sometimes the simpler it is, the more practical it is. Even the same combo can have different effects depending on who uses it. For example, some people can only use this combo to summon monsters at the higher level, while Kaiba can now attack a total of seven times in one turn.

The first Blue-Eyes White Dragon opened its mouth, a brief burst of white light gathered, and then unleashed a dragon's breath attack on the mysterious figure. With his field completely empty, he had no cards left to use—

"Activate the effect of this monster in my graveyard!"

The moment the seahorse had that thought, it was interrupted by the voice of the mysterious person, followed by the attack declaration of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, who was drawing a card from the graveyard.

"【Bone Boar Throw】This effect can be activated by banishing this card from my Graveyard during the Battle Step when a monster is battling." The mysterious man put the 【Bone Boar Throw】 card into his pocket and continued, "It negates that monster's attack. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

On the field, a small pig that was nothing but bones appeared out of thin air, its body seemingly phantom-like, filled with flesh and blood, transforming into a rather adorable black pig. The attack of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon was blocked before it could hit the mysterious man, and the Bone Pig Throw was instantly annihilated, leaving the mysterious man's Life Points unscathed.

Seahorse frowned: "When exactly did you send that card to the cemetery?"

The mysterious man didn't answer Kaiba, but instead glanced in Hayato's direction. Kaiba noticed the man's action and understood: "Was it the effect of [Inferno Teara] that sent a card from the top of the deck to the graveyard? Tch, it played a significant role for a while, but the negative impact afterward was also considerable, Hayato Kobayashi."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I didn't want to either. Besides, you can't always place the right cards in the graveyard." Hayato shrugged, looking innocent. "When it comes to placing three cards in the graveyard, some people can send a Heavy Gun and a Rainbow Kuriboh to the graveyard in one go, while others can only place three Pot of Greed in the graveyard."

As Hayato finished speaking, he noticed that the mysterious man's body seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Hmph!" Kaiba snorted arrogantly, then ignored Hayato and looked at the mysterious man again, saying, "If I remember correctly, [Bone Boar Throw] can negate the attacks of your own monsters, in addition to negating the attacks of the opponent's monsters, right?"

"So, if you had used [Bone Boar Throw] when that third-rate duelist attacked with [Destroyer Swordsman] and triggered [Magic Cylinder], you should have been able to protect him from harm, right?"

Although he asked the other party, Kaiba seemed to have only asked on a whim and did not intend to get an answer from the other party. He continued, "However, it doesn't matter. I don't care about the boring relationships between you cowardly rats. All I care about is this duel."

"The effect of [Bone Boar Throw] can only be used once in a duel, which means that even if you have piled more [Bone Boar Throw] into the graveyard before, it will be useless. Attack again, [Blue Eyes]!"

The second entity, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], accompanied by the seahorse, waved its hand forward and unleashed the dragon breath it had prepared beforehand. This time, the mysterious man was indeed unable to respond to the attack declaration and activate the hand pit or grave pit. The dragon breath of [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] was not weakened by any obstruction and directly hit the mysterious man.

"boom!"

"Hmph!"

With a combat damage of up to 3000 points, coupled with the enhancement of the Dark Game surrounding him, the mysterious man only let out a muffled groan in the face of such an attack, and actually endured it.

However, his base score plummeted unbearably.

[?: 4000→1000LP]

Seeing that his opponent's base score had indeed dropped, Kaiba's lips curled up slightly. Before the smoke from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's attack on the opponent's field could dissipate, he was about to launch another attack. But just then, Hayato suddenly spoke up: "Wait a moment, Seth. Take a look at the opponent's field before you act."

"Hmm?" Hayato's words puzzled Kaiba, but he did pause for a moment, and the smoke and dust that had briefly appeared dissipated, allowing Kaiba to see the two monsters that had appeared out of nowhere.

【Guts, Messenger of the Underworld】【7☆/Dark】

[Demon Race/Effect]

[2700/2500]

【Messenger of the Underworld - Rhine】【7☆/Light】

[Angel Race/Derivatives]

[3000/3000]

"When there are no cards on my field and I take damage from a card controlled by my opponent, I Special Summon [Messenger of the Underworld - Guts] from my hand." Because he was slightly out of breath while speaking, Kaiba realized that his opponent was not in good shape after taking the attack from [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. "Although [Treasure Card from Heaven] gave you the power to almost defeat me, I also benefited greatly from the existence of [Treasure Card from Heaven]."

"If the damage I take is combat damage, when [Gudas the Messenger - Guts] is successfully Special Summoned, I can Special Summon another [Rhine the Messenger - Rhine] Token to my field, and its ATK and DEF will be changed to the value of the combat damage I took!"

"Tch, a monster card activated from the hand after dealing damage." Kaiba said somewhat unhappily when he saw the two monsters Special Summoned by the mysterious man in Defense Position. After summoning [Messenger of the Underworld - Guts], his opponent still chose to play it safe and didn't use Attack Position, making Kaiba's earlier statement of "ending the duel this turn" an empty promise.

"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's third attack destroyed the Messenger of the Underworld - Guts."

He ordered Blue-Eyes White Dragon to attack again, and witnessed Guts, the Messenger of the Underworld, being destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Kaiba glanced at the cards in his hand, and although he was very unhappy, he could only say helplessly, "My Battle Phase is over. Then, in Main Phase 2, I will set one card face down and end this turn."

As Kaiba announced the end of his turn, the mysterious man spoke again: "At the moment your turn ends, the effect of 'Banshee of the Corpse World' in my Graveyard activates. Banish this monster that is on the field or in my Graveyard, and activate 'Undead World' from my hand or Deck. This effect can be used during your opponent's turn!"

The mysterious figure quickly retrieved a card from his deck and placed it into the Duel Disk's field area. "I activate the Field Spell Card, [Undead World]!"

Chapter 884 Why did you reward him?

"Activate [Undying World]!"

As the mysterious man placed the card in the area, a purple mist suddenly erupted from beneath his feet, spreading outwards.

Within the originally dark duel area, as the purple mist spread, countless corpses and rotting flesh rose from the ground, and a putrid stench permeated the entire area.

Under the influence of the aura of the Undying World, Kaiba noticed that the body of the Messenger of the Underworld, Kain, on the mysterious field had changed. Kain, who was originally an angel, had rotten and broken armor, and moss was now covering her fair face. Her appearance had become terrifying, and her race had changed to "Undying".
