Chapter 347
"I'll place two more cards here, turn over."
"Two face-up cards..."
Although Kaiser Ryo was very wary of the two cards, his body could no longer hold out for long, and he had no time to worry about the dangers ahead.
"My turn, draw a card!"
[Ryo Marufuji's cue cards: 2→3]
He glanced at his hand and revealed it without hesitation. "Activate Quick-Play Spell, [Cyber Fusion Support]!"
"Pay half your Life Points. This turn, you may use monsters from your hand, field, and graveyard as Polymerization Material for Fusion Summon once."
[Ryo Marufuji: LP3500→1750]
[Ryo Marufuji's hand cards: 3→2]
"Waaaaah...!"
As his health points decreased, Kaiser Ryo's heart pounded more and more unnaturally, and the pain intensified instantly.
Judai: "Kaiser!"
Asuka: "Light!"
Edo: "Bright!"
Cronos: "This is too much! Naonai!"
At this moment, Yubel sneered, "What a crazy man. How long can you maintain that physical condition?"
Kaiser Ryo's usually stern face was covered in cold sweat, but his eyes remained resolute. "That's right, my heart will probably stop beating soon..."
"What?"
"In other words, my battles have no future. I've only survived until now by pursuing victory, but now I've broken free from those shackles... Ugh!"
Kaiser Ryo forced himself to sit up. "I once wandered in hell as the Hell Kaiser, until now, I am no longer seeking the thrill of victory, nor the fear of defeat, but only this moment of glorious brilliance, to reach such a sublime state of mind!"
"Go!" His eyes widened suddenly as he drew a card and played it. "Activate Quick-Play Spell, [Cyber Load Fusion]!"
[Ryo Marufuji's hand cards: 2→1]
"Through this effect, return [Cyber Dragon Next Generation] from the field, along with the banished [Cyber Dragon], [Cyber Dragon Chip], [Cyber Lighthouse], and [Electromagnetic Turtle] to the Deck. Simultaneously, banish all Machine-Type monsters from the Graveyard using the effect of [Cyber Fusion Support]. Then, Fusion Summon thirteen Machine-Type monsters, including [Cyber Dragon]."
"This is my last struggle before I completely burn out my life!"
"Fusion Summon, [Chimera Overload Dragon]!"
In an instant, golden light shot into the sky, and a steel body appeared in the light. Thirteen identical mechanical dragon heads emerged, transforming into a terrifying chisel-and-mortise mechanical behemoth.
"[Chimera Overload Dragon]'s original ATK and DEF are changed to a value equal to the number of Polymerization Materials this card contains, increasing by 800 for each Fusion Material."
'Roar--!!'
[Chimera Overload Dragon: Attack? → 10400, Defense? → 10400]
Upon Yubel's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "The attack power has actually reached 10400?"
"It's not over yet..." Kaiser Ryo continued, "Based on the effect of the banished [Cyber Ouroboros], send one card from your hand to the graveyard and draw one card from your deck."
He glanced at the card he had drawn, his eyes narrowing: 'This card... could this be my end?'
After putting away the cards, he spun the cards on the Duel Disk again, "First, I'll change [Cyber End Dragon] to Attack Position..."
[Cyber End Dragon: Attack Power 8000]
Then, with a sweeping gesture, he roared, "Battle has begun! [Chimera Overload Dragon] attacks [Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer Dark Rainbow Dragon], Evolution End Flame!!"
Under its command, the chimeric mechanical behemoth immediately raised a mechanical dragon head, and in the blink of an eye, it spewed out a beam of azure flame that hurtled towards the Dark Rainbow Dragon.
"Don't even think about it!" Upon Yubel quickly swung his left hand, and the cover on his left opened accordingly.
"Activate the Trap Card [Negate Attack], negate the opponent's monster's attack, and restore my Life Points to that amount!"
A green barrier instantly appeared on His field, and the attack landed on the barrier the next second.
Boom--!!
[Yubel: LP5500→15900]
As the smoke cleared, the figure of Dark Rainbow Dragon reappeared before everyone's eyes.
"It's useless. [Chimera Overload Dragon] can attack monsters based on the number of Polymerization Materials. This card used thirteen monsters as materials, so I can launch thirteen more attacks."
Just as Kaiser Ryo was about to launch another attack, Yubel suddenly pointed to the face-down card on his right and shouted, "Then I'll activate the Trap Card [Dragon Hurricane Return] to Special Summon a banished monster to my field."
"Awaken, [Advanced Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise]!"
Buzz!
A flash of golden light appeared on the field, followed by the appearance of a dark, emerald-green giant tortoise.
[Advanced Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise: Defense 2000]
"Oh no!! Ugh...!"
As Kaiser Ryo became more emotional, his heart started to ache even more.
"Hmph, it seems you knew what was going to happen next..."
Yubel sneered, pointing to the Emerald Turtle beside him, and continued shouting, "Activate Emerald Turtle's monster effect once more! [Chimera Overload Dragon] changes to Defense Position!"
Like the previous Cyber End Dragon, the Chimera Overload Dragon's body suddenly curled up.
[Chimera Overload Dragon: Defense 10400]
Kaiser Ryo clutched his chest and said, "During the turn [Cyber Load Fusion] was activated, my monsters other than the monster Special Summoned by this card cannot attack, therefore my Battle Phase has ended."
Chapter 261 Self-Destruct Switch, Hell Kaiser's (Fake) Death
"I'll place one last card in my hand, then it's time to end the turn."
[Ryo Marufuji's hand cards: 1→0]
"Hoo-ha... ha... I won't die! As long as I can feel this exhilarating moment, I will never venture into the darkness of death. This moment will become eternity!"
As time went on, Kaiser Ryo's condition worsened, and everyone could no longer bear to watch.
Asuka hugged Judai sadly, "If this continues, Ryo really will die..."
Although Judai was saddened by his friend's impending death, he refused to shed a single tear. "I know... Kaiser doesn't fight to die... On the contrary, he burns his life out of a conviction that he will die, leaving behind proof of his life forever! Do what you want to do, Kaiser!"
"Yes, of course!"
Kaiser Ryo's face grew increasingly pale, but his eyes became even more resolute.
"Hmph, you tenacious fellow. To be able to fight me like that until now, you're truly a formidable man. But judging from the situation, you're about to give up too. I'll help you get out of this predicament!"
"I'm talking to Yubel with a look of disdain," he said, pointing to the emerald giant tortoise beside him.
"Then, during your end phase, the Emerald Turtle Special Summoned by the effect of [Dragon Hurricane Return] returns to your hand."
"Then it was my turn, time to draw a card!"
[Yubel's hand: 0→2]
After drawing the card, He placed the monster back onto the Duel Disk, "I summon Emerald Turtle again in Defense Position!"
The light effect flashed again, and the jade turtle reappeared.
[Advanced Crystal Beast Emerald Tortoise: Defense 2000]
[Yubel's hand cards: 2→1]
With a cruel smile, Yubel announced loudly, "The monster effect of Jade Tortoise is activated! This time, I'm changing [Chimera Overload Dragon] to Attack Position!"
As soon as He finished speaking, the coiled body of the chimera mechanical behemoth stretched out again.
[Chimera Overload Dragon: Attack Power 10400]
Upon seeing this, Kaiser Ryo exclaimed in astonishment, "What are you planning to do?"
Yubel didn't end the call immediately, but instead raised his right hand and commanded, "Battle begins! Dark Rainbow Dragon attacks Chimera Overload Dragon! Rainbow Reflection!"
Seeing the Dark Rainbow Dragon gathering energy again, Kaiser Ryo exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Using a monster with 9000 attack power against Chimera Overload Dragon with even higher attack power!?"
Yubel smiled smugly, "The last effect of the Field Spell [Advanced Dark Barrier], when [Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer] attacks, the monster targeted by the attack is nullified only during the Battle Phase, and the effect of [Chimera Overload Dragon] is nullified!"
"What?"
[Chimera Overload Dragon: Attack Power 10400 → 0]
"Heh, is this the end...?"
Despite seeing his trump card's attack power plummet to zero, Kaiser Ryo showed no despair; instead, his resolve hardened.
"Well, at least we need to get rid of the people holding John bound..." He braced himself and shook his hand, shouting, "Activate the Trap Card, [Self-Destruct Switch]!"
This card can only be activated when your life points are more than 7000 less than your opponent's, reducing both players' life points to zero!
Upon Yubel's expression changed drastically. "What?!? You're actually thinking of taking us all down with you?!"
At the same time, the energy in the Dark Rainbow Dragon had been fully condensed, and it was sprayed out the next second, while the Chimera Overload Dragon fearlessly rushed to meet it.
'Roar--!!'
The mechanical behemoth's Self-Destruct Switch had already been activated, and a burst of violent energy erupted instantly.
Boom--!!
The powerful explosion sent the two flying, Yubel's demonic body was forcibly ripped from John's body.
"Ugh...!"
"Damn it!!!"
[Ryo Marufuji: LP1750→0]
[Yubel: LP15900→0]
The final result of the duel was... a draw!
"Kaiser!"
"Bright!"
Judai and the others rushed over to help Kaiser Ryo.
Judai: "Kaiser, pull yourself together!"
"I'm sorry... Judai, my body seems to have reached its limit... At least I brought John back... I'll leave the rest to you..."
After Kaiser Ryo finished speaking, his body transformed into countless points of light.
'Roar--!!!'
The remaining Cyber End Dragon on the field roared, seemingly saddened by its master's departure.
"Kaiser!"
"Bright!"
"Ugh... Why is this happening? I'm having Naonai..."
The three people who knew him best couldn't help but shed tears in the end, while Edo, O'Brien, and Jim watched all of this with respectful eyes.
The entire team was plunged into a state of grief.
However, if they knew that Kaiser would reappear before them in a wheelchair, perhaps they wouldn't be so heartbroken.
"Ugh... I didn't expect fighting that man would take so much effort. What a miscalculation..."
At that moment, Yubel suddenly stood up unsteadily and walked towards the door.
Upon seeing His actions, Judai immediately stepped forward to protect everyone and questioned, "Yubel! What are you trying to do now?"
Yubel turned around and smiled, "I'm so glad you seem to have felt my love... Judai, I'll be waiting for you up there..."
Having said that, He slowly walked through the door and went to another space.
Only when His figure gradually disappeared into the darkness did everyone relax.
"Go quickly and check on John!"
Previously, because Yubel was lying here, no one dared to move around too much, fearing that He might hurt John. Now that He had left on His own, everyone felt relieved and went over.
