The protagonist of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world might be the same person.

Atum's hand: 3 → 2

"The Dark Magic Priest is level nine, therefore his attack power increases by 900 points."

[Dark Magic Priest: Attack Power 3200 → 4100]

Jonouchi exclaimed excitedly, "Well done, Atem! With just 4100 attack power, you can destroy Kaiba's defense monster. And with the effect of [Eternal Soul], you can defeat that arrogant Kaiba!"

Upon hearing this, the game shook its head and denied it, saying, "No, it's not that simple. The [AtoZ-Dragon Annihilation Cannon] has other effects as well."

"As long as he activates this effect, Kaiba-kun can survive this turn."

The seahorse heard this and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, you're right!"

"I'm about to activate another ability of this monster..."

You can banish this card from the field, then target 1 of your banished 【ABC-Dragon Destroyer】 and 1 of your banished 【XYZ-Dragon Cannon】 to Special Summon those monsters. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn.

"Disintegrate, [AtoZ-Dragon Annihilation Cannon]!"

At a command, the Dragon Annihilation Cannons dispersed and regrouped, and in the blink of an eye, the [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] and [XYZ-Dragon Cannon] reappeared.

【ABC-Dragon Annihilator: Defense 2800】

[XYZ-Dragon Cannon: Defense 2600]

"It's not over yet. During the opponent's turn, I can make [ABC-Dragon Annihilator] disintegrate even further!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Divine Dragon Annihilator disassembled its combined form again, instantly transforming into three mechanical beasts.

[A-Assault Core: Defense 200]

【B-Destroyer Dragon: Defense 1800】

【C-Crushing Pteranodon: Defense 2000】

Looking at the group of monsters on the field, Atum exclaimed, "As expected of you, Seahorse. You're so tenacious, you never give up."

"Humph~"

The president crossed his arms smugly.

Unable to defeat his opponent this turn, Atem had no choice but to reduce the number of monsters on his field.

He then swung his arm and shouted, "Activate the effect of the Continuous Trap [Eternal Soul]! Special Summon [Dragon Knight Dark Magician] from the Graveyard!"

Om-! !

With a flash of light, the dragon knight reappeared.

[Dragon Knight Dark Magician: Attack Power 3000]

Atum immediately launched an attack: "Go! [Black Magic Priest], attack [XYZ-Dragon Cannon]! At the same time, [Dragon Knight Black Magician], attack [C-Crushing Wyvern]!"

The two monsters launched an attack together, and two beams of magical light simultaneously struck the two monsters opposite them.

Boom boom——! !

Under the bombardment of these two attacks, the two mechanical monsters were instantly reduced to dust.

"That concludes my turn."

The seahorse breathed a sigh of relief; it had finally made it through.

"Well, it's my turn again, time to draw a card!"

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 0 → 1

Before he could even check the card draw, Atum pressed the button on the Duel Disk.

"Before your turn begins, I'll activate my face-down card, the Trap Card [Divine Life Shield]!"

Discard 1 card from your hand. During the turn this card is activated, all damage dealt by your opponent is 0.

As he placed a card into the graveyard, a transparent energy barrier enveloped him.

Atum's hand: 2 → 1

Seahorse: "......"

There's no need to guess what card was discarded; it was definitely the Electromagnetic Turtle. After all, Kaiba had previously confirmed that Atem had this card in his hand, and it's the only one that can activate its effect from the graveyard.

Atem continued, "By the way, the [Dark Magic Priest] on the field has the special ability to block trap cards."

This card can only be activated when a Trap Card is activated. If this card is face-up on the field, negate that activation and destroy it.

"This effect can be activated an unlimited number of times, and you can choose whether to activate it."

"So from now on, only your trap cards will be restricted by me. Except for Counter Trap, you can't use any other trap cards."

Fortunately, the president's deck contains a relatively small proportion of trap cards, so this effect does not have a significant impact on him.

Chapter 251 Blue-Eyed Dragon

Seto Kaiba wasn't really bothered by Yugi's blockade because he still had a chance.

"Then during my preparation phase, the monster effect of [Arc Light Three Brave Dragon], which was sent to the Graveyard 3 for the previous two turns, activates from the Graveyard!"

During the Standby Phase of the next turn after this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can target 1 Level 7 or 8 Dragon monster in your Graveyard other than "Arc Light Valiant Dragon"; Special Summon that monster.

Om-! !

With a flash of light, Bai Jia's figure reappeared.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Defense 2500

Jonouchi stroked his chin and said, "Arc Blade Dragon... its effects seem quite suitable for Red-Eyes..."

The game nodded. "Indeed, it works best when paired with [Red-Eyes Blackblade Dragon], and when combined with the effect of [Dragon Guardian Knight], it can form a relatively stable resurrection tactic."

Although Jonouchi didn't know what the game meant by "card," he nodded to indicate that he had remembered.

At this moment, President Kaiba revealed his hand, "Then, by offering a monster of level eight or higher, I activate the Spell Card [Advanced Draw] and draw two cards from my deck."

The newly appeared White Bride immediately disappeared again, and then he drew two more cards from his deck.

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 1 → 2

Upon seeing the two cards in his hand, Seahorse's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild grin.

"Hmph~, the card to break your combination is finally in my hands!"

As he spoke, he inserted one of the cards into the Duel Disk.

"Activate the Spell Card [Gospel of Resurrection] to Special Summon a Level 7 or Level 8 Dragon monster from your Graveyard."

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 2 → 1

"I've chosen [Arc Light Valiant Dragon]!"

In a flash of light, a yellow and white dragon with two pairs of wings was projected.

【Arclight Valiant Dragon: Attack Power 2400】

"At this moment, the special ability of [Arc Light Valiant Dragon] is activated!"

This effect can only be activated if this card is successfully Special Summoned from the Graveyard. Banish all face-up Spell/Trap Cards on your opponent's field, and this card gains 200 ATK and DEF for each card banished by this effect.

"not good!!"

Upon hearing this, Atum immediately sensed something was wrong.

The Dragon Knight's effect cannot block non-destructive, non-targeting effects.

Roar--! ! !

With a roar, the Arclight Valiant Dragon unleashed a blinding light that illuminated the entire temple.

Bang bang bang!

As the light pierced through, Atem's two back-row cards shattered instantly, and the summoning slab behind him collapsed as well.

Soon, the Arcane Valiant Dragon stopped emitting light, and the temple returned to its dark state.

Kaiba then added, "Since three cards are banished, the attack and defense of [Arc Light Valiant Dragon] each increase by 600 points."

【Arclight Valiant Dragon: Attack 2400→3000, Defense 2000→2600】

"Not only that, but because the Continuous Trap [Eternal Soul] leaves the field, according to that card's effect..."

Atum chimed in, "I will destroy all the monsters on my field."

No sooner had he said that than both monsters exploded.

Bang bang—!

At this point, Atum's field was completely empty.

"Oh no, Atum is in dire straits with only one card left in his hand. Is it really possible that Seahorse will win this time? To be honest, I don't really want Seahorse to win."

The game shook its head. "The battle between the other me isn't over yet. Don't forget the [Divine Life Shield] he activated this turn; he won't take any damage this turn."

"Including the [Super Electromagnetic Turtle] in his graveyard, that means he still has two more turns to play."

And Haima, of course, was unwilling to let go of such an advantage.

"Since I can't deal any damage to you, Atum, this turn I'll activate the Spell Card [Seven Star Sword] from my hand."

You can activate this effect by banishing 1 Level 7 monster from your hand or the face-up monsters you control. Draw 2 cards from your Deck.

"I will banish the Level 7 Arcane Valiant Dragon from the field as a price to draw cards from my deck."

Arcane Valiant Dragon, having completed its mission, also disappeared from the field.

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 1 → 2

After glancing at his hand, President Kaiba burst into laughter, "Hehehehe, hahahahaha! I drew it, I drew Him, the last ace that's been sleeping in my deck!"

He then revealed another magic card.

"I activate the Spell Card [Fusion Warrior] from my hand!"

Reveal 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to your opponent; Special Summon 1 Fusion Material Monster (as listed in the monster's name) from your Extra Deck or Graveyard. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack until the end of your opponent's turn, and their effects are negated.

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 2 → 1

"Hehehe~, by displaying the fusion monster [Ultimate Dragon Knight], I summon the strongest servant, [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light shot up behind him, and the shadow of a three-headed dragon gradually appeared.

As the light faded, the ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon appeared.

Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon: Attack Power 4500

Looking at the monster, Atem had a bad feeling. "Summoning the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon at this time... could it be..."

"Hahaha, that's it! You watch closely, Atum!"

Kaiba raised the card in his hand and shouted, "This power surpasses even the Ultimate Dragon!"

"I offer [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] as a tribute to Special Summon this monster from my hand..."

"A dragon of light that can only be born from the ultimate monster, capable of destroying everything!"

"Show yourself, [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon]!!!"

The movements of his three-headed ultimate dragon on the field froze instantly. Cracks visibly spread across its entire body, and countless fragments crumbled off with a "crack." The dragon's indestructible shell shattered, unleashing a blinding divine light.

Then a white dragon, seemingly clad in steel armor and exuding a mechanical aura, flew out from the divine light, emitting a faint blue glow.

Blue-Eyes Light Dragon: Attack Power 3000

Seto Kaiba's hand cards: 1 → 0

Looking at the divine dragon, Atum frowned. "Blue-Eyes Light Dragon... I remember it had already returned to its seal, why is it...?" (Details will be added in the extra chapter when there is time)

Upon hearing this, the seahorse smiled and replied, "Yes, the original one has disappeared, so this one was made by me. Although the effect has been weakened, it is more than enough to defeat you."

Chapter 252 Well Done

The seahorse chuckled and continued, "The attack power of the [Blue-Eyes Light Dragon] increases by 300 points for each dragon-type monster in its graveyard."

"My graveyard contains six dragons, thus increasing my total attack power by 1800 points."
