Chapter 177
[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon: Attack Power 3000 → 4800]
"And they are completely immune to its effects."
You can activate this effect when the effect of a Spell/Trap/Monster that targets this card is activated. Negate that effect.
"That concludes my turn."
Even after his opponent announced the end of his turn, Atem showed no sign of relaxing.
Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon has an attack power of 4800 and is immune to all targeting effects. With just this one monster, President Kaiba has an absolute advantage, not to mention that there is also a Gospel of Revival in the graveyard to counter it.
For Atem's deck, it's extremely difficult to defeat this monster now; the only monsters that can defeat it are those like the Destroyer Swordsman.
Of course, don't forget he also has skills like drawing lucky cards; miracles always come to those who draw lucky cards.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Atem's Hand Cards: 1 → 2]
Atem inserted the card directly into the Duel Disk without even looking at it.
"Activate the Spell Card [Gifts of the Angels]: Draw three cards from your deck, then discard two cards from your hand."
He glanced at his hand and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Heh~, Kaiba, I drew a card that will bring about a comeback!"
"What...?"
Atem then threw one of the cards, along with the sacrificial swordsman he had initially held, into the graveyard.
"Set two more cards face down, end the turn."
[Atem's hand: 2 → 0]
Seeing this, President Kaiba thought, "With two cards face down, even with [Divine Shield - Mirror Force -], I can use the effect of [Gospel of Revival] to protect [Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon], so there won't be any problem."
So he confidently drew a card from his deck.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Seto Kaiba cards: 0→1]
After drawing the cards, the President revealed his hand, "I tribute [A-Assault Core] and [B- Destruction Dragon] on the field to summon [Jet Dragon] in Attack Position."
The two mechanical beasts vanished on the spot, and then a Blue-Eyes Dragon resembling a jet appeared on the field.
[Jet Dragon: Attack Power 3000]
[Seto Kaiba cards: 1 → 0]
Then, with a flick of his arm, he shouted, "The effect of the two monsters sent to the graveyard as tribute: add one Ally monster from the graveyard and one from the Deck to your hand!"
"I choose another [A-Assault Core] from the graveyard and [B- Destruction Dragon] from the deck."
[Seto Kaiba cards: 0→2]
"Furthermore, according to the effect of [Jet Dragon], cards on your field other than this monster cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects. When battling this monster, you can return one card from your opponent's field to their hand."
"In that case, Atem, your face card on the field is useless against my [Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]."
After the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon received further protection, he immediately launched an attack, "Take this, [Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]'s attack, Shining Storm Bullet!"
The Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon then opened its mouth wide, and blue light gathered within, ready to be launched.
However, at that moment, Atem took a card from the graveyard.
"Don't rush, Kaiba! Have you forgotten the cards in my graveyard...?"
As he spoke, he flipped the card in his hand.
"I activate the monster effect of [Electromagnetic Turtle] from the graveyard, forcibly ending this Battle Phase."
At this moment, the light energy that had just been gathered in the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon had no choice but to dissipate.
The Kaiba crossed its arms and sneered, "Hmph~, as expected... but you can only last this one round."
"I'll end this round like this."
Atem laughed the moment his declaration ended.
"Hmph, I'm sorry to say, Kaiba, your battle should end here!"
"What?!"
As the President frowned, Atem pressed a button on the Duel Disk.
"First, open your face-down card, then use the Quick-Play Spell [Burial of the Different] to return up to three monsters banished from Yugi to the Graveyard."
"I will reclaim the [Polymerization Cursed Creature - Dark] and your [Arcane Brave Dragon], excluding Kaiba, into their respective graveyards."
After they each placed their cards into the graveyard, Kaiba sneered, "Hmph, foolish. Because you helped me put a Dragon-type monster into the graveyard, [Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]'s ATK has been further increased."
[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon: Attack Power 4800 → 5100]
Atem, however, didn't care. "Improve it however you want, my goal has been achieved..."
As he spoke, he pressed the button for another card.
"Open the face-down card, activate the Trap Card [Soul Fusion]!"
Banish the Polymerization Materials of Fusion Monster from your Graveyard face-down, then Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack this turn.
"Fusion Summon at this moment!? Could it be...?"
The Kaiba's pupils contracted as if it had thought of something.
Atem's lips curled into a slight smile. "Yes, I think you've already guessed what I'm going to summon..."
"..."
He took out two cards from the graveyard: one was the newly recovered F.G.D., and the other was the Dark Magician.
"I will Polymerization [Dark Magician] and [Polymerization Seal Creature - Dark], which will replace [Buster Blader]."
The two monsters transformed into two streams of energy that combined and then released a blinding light.
"Show yourself, [Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Magic Attack Swordsman]!"
A dark green figure burst through the light, appearing on the King wielding a long-handled broadsword.
[Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Magic Attack Swordsman: Attack Power 2900]
Atem then swung his hand and shouted, "[Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Magic Attack Swordsman] Special Effect!"
"For each Dragon-type monster on either player's field or in their graveyard, their ATK increases by 500."
"We possess a total of ten dragon monsters, therefore our combined attack power has increased by 5000 points."
[Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Magic Attack Swordsman: Attack Power 2900 → 7900]
"Attack power of 7900 points?!"
The Kaiba clenched its fist and then let it fall, looking somewhat relieved.
"Hmph~, well done."
After so long, he finally acknowledged his destined rival once again.
"My turn, draw a card!"
"[Super Magic Swordsman - Dark Magic Attack Swordsman] attacks [Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon], Super Magical Shadowless Slash!"
The super-magic swordsman swung his greatsword, and a magical blade of light sliced through the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, cleaving it in two.
Bang--!!
"Ugh... ahhh..."
[Seto Kaiba: LP600→0]
Chapter 253 Yugi VS Yugi
"Thank you for your hard work, Kaiba."
"Hmph~"
President Kaiba walked down from the altar with an arrogant expression.
As expected, only the Yugi could defeat Atem and send him back to the underworld.
After putting on the Duel Disk, the Yugi was ready to go on stage.
Just then, Jonouchi called out to him, "Wait, the Yugi!"
"Um?"
Yugi turned to look at the other person with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong, Jonouchi-kun?"
At that moment, Jonouchi handed over two cards. "Here you go..."
Upon closer inspection, the Yugi revealed that the two cards were [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] and [Red-Eyes Fusion].
I instinctively took the two cards and asked, "Is this alright?"
Jonouchi grinned and replied, "That's good. After all, this duel is your farewell battle with Atem, so take my heartfelt wishes with you as you bid him farewell."
Upon hearing this, the Yugi nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
As he spoke, he put the card into his deck, then turned and walked onto the stage.
Before long, the Yugi was on the opposite side of Atem.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, my Other Me!"
"I've waited a long time for this day. I've always looked forward to fighting you, AIBO!"
Me too.
The two set up their shredded and cut decks on the Duel Disk.
"It's coming, AIBO!"
"I'm leaving, Other Me!"
Under the watchful Eye of Ughert, the two began their final battle.
"Duel!!" ×2
[Yugi Muto: LP4000]
[Atem: LP4000]
After the duel began, King drew a card first.
"I'll go first, draw a card!"
[Atem's hand: 5 → 6]
After scanning his hand, he slammed one of his cards onto the Duel Disk without hesitation, "Summon [Spirit Swordsman] from my hand in Attack Position."
Buzz--!!
In a flash of light, a Mystic Swordsman wielding two swords was projected onto his field.
[Spirit Swordsman: Attack Power 2100]
Atem then pointed to the monster in front of him and said, "Then I activate the [Spirit Swordsman]'s special ability."
Once per turn, during your Main Phase: Special Summon 1 [Mystic Swordsman] monster from your hand.
"Using the effect of this monster, I Special Summon [The Trickster Elf Swordsman] in Defense Position."
As he placed another card onto the Duel Disk, the Mystic Swordsman, wielding a longsword in both hands, entered the fray.
[Trickster Elf Swordsman: Defense 1200]
"Set two more cards face down, end the turn."
[Atem's hand: 6 → 2]
He ended his turn without any hesitation.
