Chapter 143
Then he launched an attack immediately, shouting, "Let's fight!"
"Hmph, so impatient, huh?"
Seeing that the other party couldn't wait any longer, Seto Kaiba quickly flipped over a face-down card.
"At this very moment, the Trap Card [Space-Time Material Transfer Device] activates!"
"Remove [Deep-Eyes White Dragon] from the field for one turn."
Bride Dragon's figure suddenly disappeared from the field.
Yuexing waited for a while and found that the other side was calm and did not continue to activate the card-closing function.
"Looks like that [Counter Gate] won't be saved for [Angel O7]. We really need to force that card out..."
Having thought this through, he immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Go! [Neo-Perseus, Warrior of the Sky], attack President Kaiba directly!"
The Sky Warrior swung his short sword once more, unleashing a divine blade of light that charged forward.
"Useless, Trap Card [Counter Gate], negates the monster's direct attack!"
Boom--!!
The Counter Gate reappeared in front of the Kaiba, intercepting the light blade.
After the door and the light blade completely neutralized each other, he drew another card from his deck.
"Using the effect of [Counter Gate], draw one card from your deck. If it's a monster card, you can summon it directly."
"Degeneration!!"
[Seto Kaiba cards: 0→1]
Upon looking at the card, the Kaiba's pupils contracted, and the corners of its mouth involuntarily turned up.
However, his expression changed very little, and he quickly and subtly concealed it, failing to attract Yuexing's attention.
"Hmph, I don't have any monsters to summon..."
This statement is somewhat ambiguous. It doesn't mean there are no monster cards; it's very likely that it's a high-level monster that can't be summoned.
Thinking of this, Yue Xing breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed there was a chance of winning the match.
At this moment, Kaiba revealed the last face-down card on the field, saying, "Then I'll activate the Trap Card [Inverted Glasses] once more. This turn, all monsters on the field will have their ATK halved."
[Neo-Perseus, Warrior of the Sky: Attack Power 9350 → 4675]
[Angel O7: Attack power 2500 → 1250]
The President seems to be panicking because he failed to summon a monster, and prematurely played this face-down card to save his life.
This perfectly aligns with the meaning of the moon's movement.
Without further hesitation, he revealed the final card in his hand that would decide the outcome of the battle. "Then I will activate the Quick-Play Spell [Brave and Bold] from my hand!"
You can activate this effect by selecting 1 Equip Spell Card from your Graveyard and 1 monster on the field that is the correct target. Equip the selected Equip Spell Card to the selected monster.
[Tenma Gekkou Hand Cards: 1 → 0]
"Equip the [United We Stand] card from your Graveyard to [Angel O7], increasing its ATK and DEF by 800 for each monster you control."
[Angel O7: Attack Power 1250 → 2850]
Whoa--!!!
Seeing the change in the situation on the field, the audience erupted in an uproar.
Angel O7's current attack power is exactly the same as the President's remaining health, so it looks like he's going to lose to Yuexing.
Is this going to be a major upset?
At this moment, Yuexing waved his hand again and shouted, "Final blow! [Angel O7] attacks you directly! Angel Beam Destruction Cannon!"
A beam of light shot out from the gem on the alien angel's forehead, piercing through the halo and striking the opposite side, almost hitting the President's body.
However, at that moment, Kaiba raised the card in his hand and shouted, "Hmph~, Tenma Gekkou, you've fallen for my trick! I activate the monster effect of [Goddess of Radiant Reversal] from my hand!"
If you have no cards on your field and this is the only card in your hand, you can discard this card from your hand when your opponent declares an attack; destroy all cards on your opponent's field. Then, you can Special Summon 1 monster from your Deck.
[Seto Kaiba cards: 1 → 0]
The card instantly emitted a green divine light.
The next second, a goddess with long green hair appeared before him, holding a bird-shaped scepter.
"What did you say!?"
Upon seeing this, Yuexing was immediately horrified.
But he had no way to stop it.
At that moment, the goddess raised her scepter, instantly absorbing the attack from Angel O7, and then releasing that divine radiance back into the scepter.
Bang bang bang bang bang--!!
The cards pierced by the divine light shattered one by one, the two angels were instantly destroyed, and the temple behind them collapsed.
"How so..."
Even someone as composed as Yue Xing felt a bit uneasy about being back to square one.
The Kaiba crossed its arms and sneered, "You're too hasty, kid. I deliberately activated the face-down card before [Angel O7] attacked, just to activate this monster's effect."
"And thanks to the effect of [Goddess of Radiant Reversal], I can Special Summon [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my Deck!"
Roar--!!
With a roar, White Bride's figure appeared on his field.
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Attack Power 3000]
Yuexing calmly looked at him and said, "But I still have 9900 health points. With just one [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], it won't be able to beat me in the next round..."
"We won!"
"What!?"
Seeing the other person's confident expression, Yuexing was somewhat dazed.
He became somewhat expectant. "Then let me see. End of round."
Immediately after his announcement, Bride Dragon reappeared on Kaiba's field.
[Deep-Eyes White Dragon: Attack Power 0]
The Kaiba's eyes were very focused; it was clear it had enjoyed playing cards.
"Tenma Gekkou, watch closely, witness the power of a true duelist!"
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Seto Kaiba cards: 0→1]
This card draw made him chuckle. "Heh~, I activate the Spell Card [Dragon's Mirror] from my hand, banishing the three [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from the field and graveyard to perform Polymerization!"
[Seto Kaiba cards: 1 → 0]
"Let me show you the form of the strongest evolved dragon!"
The three white dragons' figures overlapped and Polymerization into one, then burst forth with light.
"Fusion Summon! Appear here, [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]!!"
As the light faded, a three-headed white dragon covered in luminous patterns was born.
[True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon: Attack Power 4500]
"A true Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!? I can feel the power it possesses..."
"Come on, President Kaiba. If you can beat me, then bring it on!"
Yue Xing had a premonition that he would be instantly killed.
Kaiba was quite satisfied with his opponent's current performance. "Hmph, Tenma Gekkou, you're quite the arrogant duelist too."
"Then so be it. I'll show you the power of the strongest dragon!"
"Based on the monster effects of [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]..."
If this card, Fusion Summon, is your only face-up card on the field at the end of the Damage Step, you can send 1 [Blue-Eyes] Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect. This card can then attack again.
This effect can be activated twice per turn.
After hearing his explanation of the effect, Tenma Gekkou looked enlightened. "I see... In other words, [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] can launch three attacks in one turn."
"A total of 13,500 points of damage, you win."
The President then placed two fully-starred purple cards into the graveyard, saying, "I'm sending [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] and [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Alternative Dragon] to the graveyard. [True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] will launch three attacks against Tenma Gekkou!"
"Take this, Ultimate Burst!"
The three heads of the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon opened their mouths, and three beams of light shot out at the opposite side.
Boom boom boom--!!
[Tenma Gekkou: LP9900→0]
Chapter 202 Semifinal Grouping
After satisfying his card-playing urge, President Kaiba made a stylish exit amidst cheers from the audience.
As for Tenma Gekkou, he was still savoring the battle that had just taken place. Although he was basically suppressed by Kaiba's God Draw, he still handled one key detail very well.
"That arrogant Kaiba did win after all."
Although Jonouchi has always disliked the President, he still acknowledges his abilities.
King, standing to the side, wondered, "But I feel that Yue Xing's 'Perfect Duelist' is a bit undeserving of the title. Although he is indeed a first-rate duelist, he hasn't reached the level of perfection."
They're at least not as lucky with cards as the other players.
Is the 'perfect' of the moon' really literal?
The Yugi suddenly said.
Yako asked in confusion, "Huh? What do you mean by that, Mr. Yugi?"
Instead of saying it directly, the Yugi player asked, "Hey~, Yako. How do you feel about yourself compared to your brother?"
"Me?"
After thinking for Yako, Ye Xing replied, "Hmm... I admit I'm not as good as my brother; Lord Pegasus calls him the 'Perfect Duelist.'"
"In contrast, Lord Pegasus refers to me as the 'Unfinished Gemstone'..."
Immediately after saying that, Yako sighed in disappointment.
"Oh, this..."
Seeing his self-conscious expression, Jonouchi didn't know how to comfort him.
The Yugi sensed that Yako was troubled by something, so he wanted to offer him some advice.
"Perhaps 'the Unfinished Gemstone' doesn't mean you're inferior to your brother."
The Yugi analysis stated...
"Hmm? Mr. Yugi?"
"Yugi?"
Both Yako and Jonouchi looked at him with suspicion.
The Yugi nodded and continued, "I have a guess: 'Incomplete' means it can continue to grow, while 'perfect' means it has reached the end of its growth."
"Because during my previous conversation with Mr. Pegasus, I could sense that he held you in higher regard."
King: "I feel the same way."
The Yugi continues, "So I think Pegasus means that he believes your brother has reached the limit of his own 'perfection,' while you have the potential to surpass your brother."
"Potential?"
