Chapter 217. All-You-Can-Eat Dragons VS "Grass" Card-God Dark Magician! Super Soul-Bond Magician Pops Off!
The power of Future Fusion!
Even if the old-guard duelists didn't know exactly how strong this card was, once it was shown alongside Fusion decks like Tearlaments and Shaddoll, they more or less grasped its value.
A wave of emotion crossed every duelist's face.
As expected of a higher-tier world's deckbuilding ecosystem!
Even a Normal Spell that applies a delayed Fusion—Future Fusion—could be used to pull off this many tricks!
And the decks it tied into—
All of them were ones they knew!
Plenty of them couldn't hold back anymore.
Especially Seto Kaiba, Jaden Yuki, and the rest.
They never imagined you could route into this many lines and combos.
Things like "Five-Headed Dragon mills paired with a Chaos LIGHT/DARK engine."
Or "HERO focus with Miracle Fusion into Elemental HERO The Shining," and so on.
All of it far exceeded their expectations.
So this is the way higher-tier duelists think?
Utterly unbelievable.
In the main world—
Once that clip ended, Sei Yuki quickly queued up the next short duel video.
The title:
"All-You-Can-Eat Dragons VS That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician! The Final Judgment of God!"
The moment he saw it, Sei Yuki basically had a read.
Chances were it was another pair of "for-the-memes" duelists putting on a show.
After all, plenty of meme decks rely on that one powerhouse Spell—That Grass Looks Greener.
One card mills the Deck to pile up Graveyard resources,
and only then can the deck unleash its full power.
As for "All-You-Can-Eat Dragons"…
Sei Yuki wasn't sure what exact gag shell it was.
But one thing was certain:
If it's a meme?
There had to be a Blue-Eyes White Dragon in there, right?
"Let's go with this one."
"Let's see what other ridiculousness they can cook up."
Sei Yuki locked it in.
At the same time, the title flashed across all the duel worlds.
Once everyone finally snapped out of their Future Fusion daze—
the instant they saw the title, they all paused.
"All-You-Can-Eat Dragons?"
What shell is that supposed to be?
As for "Grass 15-card Dark Magician,"
they definitely knew that one.
Yugi Muto's deck, right?
A Spellcaster build centered on the vanilla Dark Magician.
It might be strong in the original DM world,
but to duelists from VRAINS, ZEXAL, and so on,
it wasn't especially impressive.
Very soon, the duel info popped up in the short:
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons VS That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician!
Both Life Points 8000 LP.
First turn: All-You-Can-Eat Dragons.
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "My turn! I activate the Spell Cards of Consonance!"
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "I send The White Stone of Legend to the Graveyard and draw 2 cards."
"The White Stone of Legend triggers—I add Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the Deck."
"I Normal Summon Sage with Eyes of Blue."
"On activation, I add The White Stone of Ancients from the Deck."
"I activate the Spell Time-Tearing Morganite!"
"I gain the following effects:
I can't activate monster effects in my hand;
my normal draw becomes draw 2;
I can conduct up to 2 Normal Summons each turn."
"Therefore, I Normal Summon The White Stone of Ancients."
"I activate the Continuous Spell Future Fusion."
"Then I take The White Stone of Ancients and Sage with Eyes of Blue—"
"I build the Overlay Network!"
"I Xyz Summon Kikinagashi Fucho!"
"I set 2 cards."
"Turn end."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "My turn! Draw!"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I activate the Spell That Grass Looks Greener!"
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "I flip the Trap Dark Deal!"
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "When the opponent activates a Normal Spell, I can pay 1000 LP to activate this."
"At activation, that Spell's effect becomes 'your opponent discards 1 random card.'"
"The random discard is Neko Mane King!"
"I activate its effect!"
"If this card is sent to the Graveyard by the opponent's effect during the opponent's turn—
the opponent's turn ends."
"So your turn ends immediately."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "???"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "What kind of nonsense are you running with a Blue-Eyes shell?"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "My turn… ended."
Those first two turns instantly snapped the previously nonchalant duelists to attention.
What the heck?
What just happened?
How did Grass Dark Magician's turn
just end like that?
The duelists who were paying close attention understood why.
But what shocked them even more was—
Why was this "All-You-Can-Eat Dragons" actually Blue-Eyes?
If it was Blue-Eyes, where was the "all-you-can-eat" part supposed to be?
Isn't it just the same old line:
Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Fusion, Blue-Eyes Ritual?
While duelists across the worlds were still puzzled,
the turn had already come back to All-You-Can-Eat Dragons.
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "My turn! Draw 2."
"All right—Future Fusion activates."
"I reveal Five-Headed Dragon in my Extra Deck."
"Per its effect, I send 5 Dragons from my Deck to the Graveyard."
"I mill 1 The White Stone of Legend, 2 The White Stone of Ancients, 1 Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon, and 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon."
"In the Graveyard, The White Stone of Legend triggers—add Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the Deck."
"I reveal Blue-Eyes White Dragon to Special Summon Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon from my hand."
"I set 1 card."
"Battle Phase."
"Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon attacks directly—take 3000 LP."
"At the end of the turn, both The White Stone of Ancients in the Graveyard activate."
"Here we go."
"Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon—on Summon, I add Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon from my Deck."
"For the second one, I Special Summon Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon."
"Your move."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "My turn! Draw!"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "Unfortunately for you, I've got another That Grass Looks Greener in hand."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I activate it—time to hurl my whole Deck to the wind!"
As the second That Grass Looks Greener resolved,
all eyes across every world glued to the whirlwind mill flashing by in an instant.
Dark Magician.
Secrets of Dark Magic.
Eternal Soul.
Magician's Rod.
The Revived Sky God.
Slifer the Sky Dragon.
The Winged Dragon of Ra.
It was only a blink,
but plenty of duelists still caught what might have been milled.
Seeing the Dark Magician pieces—nothing special.
But the instant they saw the God cards—
the DM world started buzzing.
"Again with the Card-Gods?"
"Great, dead memories are attacking me!"
"'Future Dragon King, Little Blue'?"
Joey Wheeler twitched at the corner of his mouth, instantly recalling the scene where the Creator God of Light, Horakhty appeared.
Somehow, a bad feeling crept in.
"So Grass really is hard-wired to the Card-Gods now?"
"Yeah… in the higher-tier worlds,"
"Gods aren't special anymore."
Next to him, Marik Ishtar sighed.
The once-prized Egyptian God Cards—
in higher-tier worlds, they were just things you could Summon whenever.
Now with one Grass, you could ruthlessly dump God cards to the Graveyard.
Over in GX,
Jaden Yuki and Jesse Anderson both grew solemn.
If they could still follow what All-You-Can-Eat Dragons was doing—
now they couldn't even track the Dark Magician line.
Like—
Is this deck actually Dark Magician?
Or is it about the Gods?
Sure enough, with meme duelists,
whatever hits the Graveyard will make your eyes go dark.
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "Continuing my turn!"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I activate the Continuous Spell Dark Magical Circle!"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I reveal the top 3 of my Deck, and add Secrets of Dark Magic to my hand."
"I activate the Spell Advanced Ritual Art!"
"I send Dark Magician from my Deck to the Graveyard."
"Ritual Summon!"
"Magician of Chaos!"
"Since it's treated as Dark Magician by name—"
"Dark Magical Circle triggers—banish your Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon!"
"I activate Magicians' Souls in hand—send Dark Magician Girl from the Deck to the Graveyard, then send this card to the Graveyard."
"My most loyal servant—come forth!"
"Dark Magician!"
"Then I activate the Spell Soul Servant—I stack a card that lists Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl on top of my Deck."
"Chain—Magician of Chaos effect! Destroy your back row!"
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "Then I'll flip my back row—True Light."
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "I chain its effect—set Ultimate Fusion straight from the Deck."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "You'll let your back row get blown up just to plus off True Light?"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "Fine. True Light is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard."
"That wipes your entire monster field."
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "Pointless—Kikinagashi Fucho activates."
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "The invincible Kikinagashi Fucho detaches 2 materials."
"For this turn, it can't be destroyed by battle, and any battle damage from its battles to me becomes 0."
"Not only that—"
"by itself, it's also unaffected by other cards' effects. A monster with absurd protection."
"You can't OTK me this turn."
The instant that card appeared,
duelists in every world twitched at the corners of their mouths.
They had almost forgotten:
this All-You-Can-Eat Dragons still had that weirdo Xyz monster.
God-tier protection,
featherweight ATK.
No wonder he could freely let True Light get popped—
he'd already guaranteed survival this turn.
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I activate Transaction Rollback in the Graveyard."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I pay half my Life Points and copy The Revived Sky God."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "Welcome the descent of a God!"
"Come forth—Slifer the Sky Dragon!"
"And—"
"on effect, we both draw from our Decks until we have 6 cards in hand."
"I activate the Spell Secrets of Dark Magic!"
"I Fusion Summon using Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl in my hand."
"The bond of master and pupil manifests—right now!"
"Fusion Summon—The Dark Magicians!"
"We're not done."
"I Normal Summon Magician's Rod."
"Effect—add 1 Spell/Trap that lists Dark Magician from my Deck."
"I take Magician's Rod, Slifer the Sky Dragon, and The Dark Magicians on my field—"
"Link Summon with 3 materials."
"Arrows—confirmed."
"—!"
"Come forth—Black Luster Soldier – Soldier of Chaos!"
"We're still not done."
"I activate the Field Spell Magician's Salvation!"
"Per its effect, I set Eternal Soul from my Deck."
"I activate the Spell Bond Between Teacher and Student!"
"Back to battle!"
"Revive Dark Magician Girl from the Graveyard!"
"At the same time, I set Dark Magic Twin Burst from my Deck."
"Then Magician's Salvation triggers—I Special Summon Dark Magician from the Graveyard."
"I activate the Spell Monster Reborn!"
"Revive The Dark Magicians from the Graveyard."
"I set 3 cards."
"My—turn seven hundred thirty-seven—ends."
This is the charm of Grass Dark Magician.
And that Black Luster Soldier – Soldier of Chaos Link
even made Yugi Muto freeze.
Something felt off.
This Dark Magician line was nothing like what he'd seen before.
You call this Dark Magician?
The power level was downright terrifying.
And the way it used the Gods—completely merciless.
So in higher-tier worlds, even Gods can't reign supreme anymore.
Even Gods… can be used as Link materials.
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "At your End Phase, The White Stone of Ancients in my Graveyard activates."
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "I Special Summon another Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon from my Deck."
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "My turn! Draw 2."
"Future Fusion can now resolve."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "Trying to Fusion?"
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I chain Magician of Chaos—when a Spell/Trap is activated, target 1 card and destroy it: your Future Fusion!"
All-You-Can-Eat Dragons: "In my Graveyard, Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon triggers—Special Summon."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "During your turn—I'll accelerate into a Fusion."
That Grass + Card-God Dark Magician: "I flip my set card—Secrets of Dark Magic!"
"I fuse the Dark Magician on my field with Timaeus the United Dragon in my hand."
"Come forth—Dark Magician the Dragon Knight!"
"Dark Magical Circle triggers—banish your Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon!"
"That's both of your Jet Dragons gone."
"Then I chain Magician's Rod in the Graveyard—Tribute Dark Magician Girl on my field to add it back to hand."
"Because of Dark Magician the Dragon Knight's effect—"
"as long as it's in the Monster Zone, my Spell/Trap cards can't be destroyed by your effects, nor can they be targeted by your effects."
"So—I flip my Trap Eternal Soul!"
"By its effect, I revive Dark Magician from the Graveyard."
"Field effect—choose Dark Magician, then revive his pupil, Dark Magician Girl."
"My unbreakable board is complete."
"Please—continue your turn."
???
Now every duelist across every world was stupefied by how this Dark Magician deck built a board on the opponent's turn.
One by one, their eyes widened,
as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
This is Dark Magician?
You call this Dark Magician?
It casually filled every Monster Zone slot with value,
and Dark Magician the Dragon Knight plus Eternal Soul even formed a pincer.
Protecting each other,
their on-field suppression maxed out instantly.
In the DM world,
Yugi Muto and the spirit within, Pharaoh Atem, nearly coughed up blood.
They never imagined Dark Magician could build a board to this degree.
This duelist—
does he also share that deep a bond with their most loyal servant, Dark Magician?
