Chapter 103
The power of the Trap Card was immediately injected into the girl's body, instantly unleashing magic comparable to that of the Serpent God.
[Dark Magician Girl: Attack Power 2300→∞]
Dartz exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!? This situation can actually increase the monster's size to infinity!"
In response, the Yugi shook its head and replied, "Nothing is impossible. Monsters with infinite attack power aren't your exclusive domain."
"No matter how weak a monster may be, it has the potential to surpass the infinite; this in itself is the power of the duel."
At this moment, Dartz still stubbornly said, "But even if you attack, at most you'll perish together with me, and ultimately you still won't be able to stop my plan."
The Yugi certainly understand this as well.
So...
"The battle continues! [Dark Magician Girl] attacks [The Great Leviathan]! Dark Magic Burst Break!"
The Yugi still launched an attack.
Without hesitation, the girl waved her wand, and a massive amount of magic power gathered at a single point, condensing into a giant magic bullet.
"Are you crazy? You know it'll result in mutual destruction, yet you still keep attacking!?"
Dartz was immediately taken aback by the situation before her.
The magic bullet thrown by the girl rushed rapidly towards the snake god.
The latter reacted immediately and fired blue flames in the direction of the magic bullet.
However, just as the two attacks were about to collide, the Yugi suddenly picked up a card from its hand and played it.
"It's not over yet. This card is the key to victory. I activate the Quick-Play Spell [Burial of the Different] from my hand!"
You can activate this effect by targeting a maximum of three monsters, excluding yourself and the monsters you are fighting. Those monsters return to the Graveyard.
[Yugi Muto's hand cards: 2 → 1]
"The card that returns to the graveyard is, of course,... [Gorz the Emissary of Darkness]!"
"Large sacs!?"
Soon, the two massive energies collided.
Boom--!
A deafening roar echoed from that direction.
Because both sides possessed infinitely large attack power, the clash of energy waves resulted in a stalemate, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
So who is the real MVP who decides the outcome of this battle...?
Dark Magician Girl: That doesn't necessarily mean it is... (smugly puts hands on hips)
Gorz the Emissary of Darkness: That's right, it is I!
Yugi then shouted, "I'm using the special ability of [Gorz the Emissary of Darkness] once again! [Dark Magician Girl] won't be destroyed in this battle!"
Suddenly, the Gorz the Emissary of Darkness transformed into a point of light and flew over, injecting itself into the magic bullet.
The Gorz the Emissary of Darkness, with its last bit of power, was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, leaving the serpent god unable to stop the girl's onslaught.
The magic bullet quickly pushed the blue flames back until it struck the Serpent God.
Boom--!!!
The powerful explosion instantly annihilated the Serpent God and shattered the interdimensional portal.
Once the serpent god was completely out of sight, Yugi announced to his opponent, "Dartz, we have won this duel."
"According to the rules, release everyone else's souls!"
Hearing what the Yugi was saying, Dartz clenched her fists, revealing a very unwilling expression.
However, before he could achieve his goal, the situation suddenly changed.
Chapter 143 God War
Suddenly, a spatial passage appeared behind Dartz.
In that instant, a giant serpentine dragon swallowed Dartz whole and then vanished from the passage.
"That is..."
"Dartz and his god still not giving up?"
We'd already finished playing all the cards, but this boss still had a next phase!
After that, the others who were lying on the ground woke up.
This also includes President Kaiba, whose soul returned after Dartz left, so he was the only one who was freed.
Meanwhile, Jonouchi, who had been sleeping inside the helicopter, had just woken up.
Not long after the duel ended, strange changes began to occur all over the world. Strong winds swept across the globe, and dark clouds shrouded the world as if it were the end of the world.
By the time the Yugi and the others realized what was happening, an island had already appeared in the sky, located above the sea outside the temple.
That's where the real final battle will take place.
In order to truly defeat Dartz and his god, Yugi, Kaiba, and Jonouchi must set off again, passing through the passage where Dartz disappeared to reach the floating island.
During the game, the Yugi also stole three God Cards that were still in the temple.
As they passed through the passage, what greeted their eyes was a dilapidated city, streets that had been deserted for millennia, and ancient relief murals still visible on the crumbling buildings, hinting at the former glory of this place.
Then all three of them realized that this was the legendary Atlantis, the city that had been ruled by Dartz ten thousand years ago.
Soon, they found Dartz in the former palace of Atlantis, but by the time they found him, he had already turned to dust.
Dartz has abandoned his physical body.
"Hmph, you're so slow! Chosen duelists, our god has been resurrected!"
"Dartz!" Yugi exclaimed in astonishment, "Impossible! Isn't it Orichalcos God cannot be resurrected without our souls?"
"It's not fully resurrected yet, but I'll help it with my soul!"
"What!?"
Why didn't you just use your own soul from the beginning? Why cause them so much trouble?
Ultimately, Dartz is only after his own self-interest, sacrificing others to become the savior he believes in. Now that he's finally cornered, he's decided to gamble everything on the power of the evil god. His true colors are truly despicable.
Soon, the god Dartz spoke of finally appeared; a dark shadow flew up from the seabed.
The three duelists turned around simultaneously, and the moment they saw the true form of the enormous black shadow, their hearts seemed to skip a beat at the same time.
Because that thing was simply too big, many times larger than the Egyptian God Cards.
Its enormous, serpentine body was tightly coiled around the floating island. It lowered its hideous, massive head, looking down at the three of them with a fixed Yugi.
Meanwhile, Dartz, whose entire body was purple and whose hair was disheveled, looked like a demon, and at this moment, half of his body had merged into the body of the giant dragon.
"Chosen duelists, now no one can stop this god!"
The next segment will no longer involve playing cards; it will directly transition into Pokémon battle mode, a pure test of strength.
The Yugi itself has the Millennium Puzzle, a divine artifact, and the power of the Legendary Knight, which allows the monsters summoned by the three to briefly possess the ability to materialize, even without the presence of spirits.
Even President Kaiba, in this critical moment, intentionally or unintentionally temporarily ignored the utterly unscientific matter of summoning monsters to fight.
The three opened their Duel Disk and sent out several large monsters in succession, but the details of their battles will be omitted for now.
The difference in strength between the two sides is too great, so great that no matter how many troops are used, it cannot be bridged. As the saying goes, many ants cannot kill an elephant.
Along with the three Legendary Knights, all the monsters were wiped out by Him.
"Legendary duelists, the power of our god is inexhaustible, for the source of our god's power lies precisely in the darkness deep within the hearts of those imprisoned souls."
Dartz said, "Ultimately, humanity as it is today cannot completely overcome the darkness within."
"No matter how much you deny the darkness within you, as long as even a little bit remains, it will always revive!"
In other words, the power of the Orichalcos God is inexhaustible, making it virtually impossible to harm Him.
So in the end, we still had to resort to the Three Phantom Gods.
So when everyone was in despair, after a long talk between Yugi and King, all the souls who were sinking into despair reconciled with themselves and lent their power to Yugi and the others.
All the souls and the power of the Duel Monsters are gathered together in the Yugi's deck.
The collective prayers eventually awakened the slumbering gods.
"Having traversed three thousand years, and commanded in the name of the Pharaoh, awaken here now."
"Appear, Three Phantom Gods!"
As King's voice faded, three divine lights—red, blue, and yellow—pierced through the dark clouds in the sky.
Three enormous figures descended from the sky.
"Obelisk, Osiris, the Sun God!"
King called out their names one by one.
"Impossible! The God Cards has actually been resurrected!"
Dartz stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Above the sea of clouds, after a fierce battle among the gods...
"You still want to stop me until the very end, Duel Monsters? I'll crush you with this one blow!"
After Dartz gave the final command, the evil god's enormous dragon head opened its abyssal maw, and dark divine light was unleashed.
Not to be outdone, King commanded the Three Phantom Gods, "Go! Obelisk, God Hand Crusher Fist!"
The giant clenched his right fist, and a large amount of divine power gathered into it.
"Osiris, Electric Shock!"
The coiled, crimson, two-mouthed dragon opened its lower jaws, drawing in the thunderous power from the clouds.
"Sun God, God Blaze Cannon!"
The golden dragon gathered the power of the sun, and all the Sun God surged into the eagle's head.
Then the three gods unleashed their power together, and three beams of light shot out in unison, clashing with the evil god's attack.
Boom--!!!
With a deafening roar, the four divine powers intertwined.
"Dartz, we will never lose to the darkness within!"
With the power of King's idealism, the Three Phantom Gods' divine power surpassed that of Orichalcos God.
Thus, the outcome of the wave attack ended in the latter's failure, with all three divine power waves striking the evil god.
Boom--!!!
Another violent explosion rang out.
"How so!?"
To Dartz's incredulous reaction, the evil god plummeted from the sea of clouds.
Chapter 144 The soul of the Three
In the midst of the chaos, the Yugi suddenly opened its eyes.
"Here it is..."
The scene around him was chaotic, like a dreamlike space.
So he recalled what had just happened.
After King led the Three Phantom Gods to defeat Orichalcos God, everyone's souls were completely liberated, including Dartz himself.
However, the true form of the evil god was not destroyed. After losing all the human souls, it transformed into a black snake and reappeared before Yugi and King.
