At this moment, Kaiba no longer had any disdain for the oddly dressed opponent in front of him.
He could sense that the strength of this opponent under the unicorn outfit might not be inferior to his own. Relying on his instincts as a Duelist, Kaiba judged from the aura that this person might be the strongest among all the Duelists he had encountered.
It even gave him the illusion of facing Youyu himself!
Kaiba was secretly astonished.
Youyu... Do his students possess such amazing power?
During the time he sealed his cards and retired (although it wasn't that long), how much ground had he lost again?
Kaiba's expression turned serious as he casually asked, "What's your name?"
"Ah, me?" Judai was stunned, "Uh, this... it's a bit hard to explain..."
"Hmph, don't want to say? Or was it ordered by that guy?"
Kaiba snorted, thinking he understood the situation.
After all, the opponent appeared wearing such a strange unicorn headpiece, clearly he didn't want anyone to know his identity. Kaiba automatically assumed this was at Youyu's behest.
But Kaiba did not continue to press the question.
He felt it had been a long time since he encountered an opponent of this caliber who could fully engage him in a duel, maximizing his fighting spirit.
So here, he would give it his all!
"My turn, draw!"
The card drawn by the President once again described a gorgeous arc, as if stirring up an invisible whirlwind.
"Magic Card - Card of Demise! Draw five cards from the deck, discard all cards in hand during the preparation phase after five turns."
The President drew exactly the top five cards from his deck. As he spread them out, he couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh "Hahahaha."
Then he pointed at Judai: "Feel honored beyond measure! This was originally prepared for that guy, but your strength caught my attention. Let me show you this new power!"
He held up a card high. The moment it was raised, chaotic whirlwinds seemed to rise around, with dark, invisible spirals faintly visible.
"Ritual Magic - Chaos Form!!!"
Kaiba inserted the card into the Duel Disc, shouting loudly: "Use the level eight 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand as the offering!
The beast of light draws Power of Chaos from the depths of the abyss, descending in an invincible form! Ritual Summon—
—Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!!!"
A limitless glimmer was released, the dreamy body of Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared on the field. It flapped its wings and flew into the chaos vortex, as if sinking into the depths of a dark abyss, finally reemerging with flashes of lightning and deep blue light.
First appeared were metal-like wings, shining with dazzling blue brilliance. The dragon's claws metamorphosed from the blue glow, followed by its massive body, long tail, and noble dragon head.
The blue dragon was like wearing high-tech armor, fully armed to descend onto the field, roaring accompanied by lightning shot from the depths of the abyss.
Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, summon!
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, attack power 3000]
It seemed like Kaiba had clad his Blue-Eyes White Dragon in high-tech armor using black technology.
"Oh oh oh, so impressive!" Judai raised his arm to shield his face, "This is the legendary Kaiba Seto's Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon..."
"Hahahaha!!!"
Having summoned a new form of his beloved dragon, Kaiba indulged in his customary laugh, then waved his hand: "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon attack!
In that moment, the effect of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon activates! At the moment of declaring attack, all monsters on the opponent's field change their mode of representation, and their attack and defense values become zero!
Furthermore! When Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon attacks a defense position monster, if its attack power exceeds the defense power, it can inflict penetrative damage!"
Even Yusei who was observing joined in surprise: "Such a powerful effect!?"
The chaotic white dragon opened its mouth, while the armor activated, releasing invisible pulsations. All the indicators on it lit up dazzling blue, bursting waves instantly suppressed two heroes on Judai's field, intending to force them into defense mode.
"Such a terrifying effect, can instantly annihilate any enemy?" Yubel said calmly, "Taking this shot means immediate defeat."
Though she said so, her tone was light, as if it wasn't her beloved Judai about to be instantly defeated.
"I know." Judai activated a set card with a wave of his hand, "Activate Set Card, Trap Card - Altar for Tribute! Sacrifice one monster on my field, restore life points equal to its original attack value!"
The Neos on his field turned his head, gave Judai a look, a standard "thumbs-up nod," seemingly signaling his master "Don't worry, use my body freely."
Judai nodded in response, saying: "I sacrifice 'Elemental Hero Brave Neos,' restoring his original attack power, that is, 2500 life points!"
[Judai, LP 1200 → LP 3700]
"Tch, futile struggle. But your remaining monsters will still bow to the pressure of Blue-Eyes!" Kaiba shouted.
[Elemental Hero Blazeman, attack power 1200 → defense power 0]
"Go, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon! Crush that Elemental Hero for me! Chaos Burst Whirlwind Bomb!!!"
As if from the breath of deep abyss, armor roared like an engine in operation, vast energy filled the dragon's mouth, exploded out as a spiral impact!
Absolute power comparable to divine spirits, instantly obliterated the body of the Blaze Hero. The ensuing shockwave nearly flipped Judai over, the dominating whirlwind and scattered energy make one wonder if it already exceeded the level of 3D image simulation impact.
[Judai, LP 3700 → LP 700]
Kaiba crossed his arms, continuing arrogantly: "Hmph, now you should recognize it? The absolute power of Blue-Eyes!"
"... So cool!"
Kaiba: "?"
Judai steadied himself and chuckled.
"To fight such a cool, and powerful monster... Judai chuckled, "Surely makes one super excited."
"Oh? Still got room for excitement?" Kaiba was a bit surprised.
Ordinary Duelists, when faced with the pressure brought by his Blue-Eyes, wouldn't be surprising to be frightened into immobility by the aura. Even strong Duelists, even if they could remain calm, couldn't possibly say there's no pressure at all.
But this opponent in front of him, not only showed no tension, but seemed to... enjoy it?
What a peculiar fellow.
However, Kaiba didn't find it annoying, or rather, he began to quite like this strange Duelist hidden in the unicorn outfit before him.
Of course, it's related not only to the extraordinary strength and aura he demonstrated, but also to Judai's unsparing praise of the power and coolness of his Blue-Eyes.
Men, after all, are vain.
Although the President looked arrogant, judging from the architectural style of Kaiba Land filled with Blue-Eyes buildings, you can see the depth of his obsession with Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
The heartfelt praise of his bride made the President naturally happy.
Hmph, indeed chosen by Youyu!
Kaiba the President had already silently acknowledged Youyu's "disciple."
"Set two cards, end the turn." Kaiba said, curling his lips into a smile, "Don't just be happy. Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon cannot be targeted by effects, nor can it be destroyed by card effects.
And no defense monster is effective against it! Next turn you'll face defeat under the absolute power of Chaos Dragon."
Unable to be targeted by effects, nor destroyed by card effects, this resistance is already quite frightening.
Even the legendary physical card players shudder at "Super Magical Knight-Red-Eyes Knight," only has such resistance.
"That's not certain, President Kaiba." Judai smiled, "Until the last moment, no one knows what will happen... This is the charm of dueling, isn't it?"
Kaiba snickered, not denying: "If so, let me see then, your possibilities!"
