[Description: | DRAGON/NORMAL |
This legendary dragon is a powerful engine of destruction. Virtually invincible, very few have faced this awesome creature and lived to tell the tale ]
A card the same size as the one Lu You had shown earlier appeared in the hands of Seto Kaiba.
Kaiba placed the card into the duel device before him an apparatus nearly identical to the dueling arenas displayed in Lu You's store.
However, the duel arena in Lu You's shop was clearly more advanced than the one Kaiba used on the large tv screen.
A flash of light erupted images and sound burst forth together.
Hu Tao, Zhongli, and the onlookers of Liyue all stared intently at the glowing display, eager to see what would happen next.
In Teyvat, 'dragons' were known as beings of immense power. The very mention of one could shake a nation.
As the light on the screen faded, everyone held their breath. Their eyes were glued to the unfolding scene.
And then...
A white dragon appeared before them!
Its scales shimmered like polished jewels, each one reflecting dazzling light.
Its eyes glowed a deep, piercing cyan, filled with majesty and intelligence as if it could see through the very soul.
When the dragon spread its wings, its massive body radiated an aura of absolute dominance an overwhelming presence that silenced the crowd.
Its mighty roar echoed through the air, as if even the heavens themselves trembled before its power.
The people of Liyue stood frozen in awe, hearts pounding, a strange and thrilling emotion surging within them.
This dragon it felt like a creature of legend made real!
Everyone was completely mesmerized, unable to look away.
Teyvat's technology was primitive by comparison; there were no films, no holograms barely even organized entertainment outside of stage plays.
But Lu You's "original anime episode" brought forth something miraculous.
Ordinary citizens would normally run for their lives at the sight of hilichurls,
yet now, they stood their in complete shocked before a terrifying white dragon.
Even Zhongli, who had once fought through the Archon War, was stunned.
"This creature called the Blue-Eyes White Dragon… it's rather beautiful," he muttered thoughtfully.
"Kind of makes me want to buy one. But… I forgot to bring my money again."
Just as everyone leaned closer, waiting eagerly for what would happen next,
the video on the large tv screen suddenly paused.
The crowd erupted in frustration.
"Hey! You shopkeeper!"
"Keep it playing why did you stop!"
"Come on don't end it there!"
Facing the outcry, Lu You stepped forward with a calm smile.
"How boring would it be to just watch?" he said with a confident grin.
"Why not let your shopkeeper give everyone here… a live demonstration?"
Hu Tao gasped in surprise.
"The equipment in that video it looks just like the ones in this store!"
"No way… can this thing really summon monsters!?"
The crowd murmured in disbelief, their curiosity rekindled.
Lu You's smile widened. From his system space, he retrieved a card.
Blue-Eyes White Dragon!
He held it proudly, thinking to himself:
"The original anime made them go crazy… now let's see how they handle the real thing."
The card's black-and-orange spiral back gleamed under the lights, and the dragon illustration seemed almost alive.
Even before activating it, the card exuded a powerful pressure.
Hu Tao, blessed with a Vision, felt it first a prickling sense of danger crawling up her spine. (Her spidey senses are tingling lol)
But that fear quickly transformed into excitement and anticipation.
She looked at Lu You's confident face and thought, He can really do it!
If he can actually summon it, she thought, I'll buy thousands of packs!
Imagine using a real dragon to chase away evil spirits how awesome would that be!
"Careful, Hall Master," someone whispered jokingly, "you might end up scaring the spirits to death instead."
At that moment, Lu You stood at the dueling table, holding the Blue-Eyes White Dragon card high.
He looked like a deity, commanding the attention of everyone present.
Zhongli studied the card closely, trying to analyze it.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't sense any elemental energy or mechanism behind it.
"The flowing water changes, but the mountain remains unmoved…" he murmured softly.
"Truly, times have changed."
Taking a deep breath, Lu You pressed the card confidently onto the summoning zone of the duel device.
"Come forth Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
His impassioned shout echoed through the hall.
A burst of blinding light exploded outward
and in an instant, a real white blueish dragon appeared before the stunned crowd.
Its aura was overwhelming, shaking the very air with benevolent light.
Lu You grinned inwardly.
"It feels kind of cringy to yell that out loud… but without the shout, it just wouldn't feel like Yu-Gi-Oh!"
