[Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon!"
The crowd was once again excited.
"The new evolution of Blue-Eyes developed by the top research team at Kaiba Group!"
"Is this AI too powerful?"
Many people turned their attention to Yugen on the opposite side of the field.
In their view, if someone could win against such an AI... what kind of monster would it take?
"However, even the Sub-White Dragon is still a Dragon-type, and will be affected by the 'Dragon Race Sealing Pot' effect," Yugen said calmly. "As long as the Sealing Pot is on the field, all face-up Dragon-types must switch to defense.
Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon also changes to Defense Position."
[Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon, Attack Power 3000 → Defense Power 2500]
"It doesn't matter. Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon has a way to attack without needing to battle. Now watch, the true power of the White Dragon!"
AI Sea Horse shouted.
"Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon, activate effect! Once per turn, it can destroy one monster on the opponent's field directly.
I will destroy your 'Dragon Slayer' on the field!"
The Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon in Defense Position opened its mouth, and the white light inside turned into a swirling vortex, ready to rush out at any moment!
"Then I'll flip the cover card," Yugen waved his hand, "Continuous Trap - Inhaling Flashing Magic Mirror!"
A gigantic mirror surface emerged on the field, resembling a crystal eye. A powerful magic vortex burst from it, instantly dispersing the energy gathered in the mouth of the Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon, absorbing it completely into the magic mirror.
"Inhaling Flashing Magic Mirror, as long as it exists on the field, the effects of Light Attribute monsters activated on both the field and in the graveyard are all negated!"
The crowd: "!!"
Even the dojo trainees who were already familiar with Yugen's tactics for enjoying the psychological games couldn't help but gasp at this moment.
It felt as if a chilling aura had descended on the field, leaving even those outside feeling a bone-chilling cold...
The AI was speechless, but it looked as though it was overheating to the point where a system crash wouldn't be surprising.
Look at those two backline cards on the other side, both Continuous Traps. One of the cards was labeled "Dragon Buster," while the other read "Light Attribute Must Die"...
Heh, you're too kind. Why not just write Seto Kaiba's ID number in the trap effect?
If you're so awesome, why don't you go pressure the real one? I'm just an innocent AI...
Below, Sato Koji couldn't help but swallow nervously, sneaking a glance at Yugen.
He was wondering if Brother Yugen would become the first duelist in history to crash an AI system...
"It's not over yet." The AI continued to struggle, "Then I'll activate the Magic Card 'Price Reduction Shopping' from my hand! Discard a Level eight monster from my hand, and draw two cards from the deck.
I'll discard the 'Dragon Awakening Melody' searched 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and draw two cards!"
The AI Sea Horse drew cards and immediately showed another card.
"Normal Summon 'Wise Centaur Chiron'!"
[Wise Centaur Chiron, Attack Power 1800]
"Wise Centaur Chiron's effect allows me to discard a Magic Card from my hand to destroy a Magic or Trap Card on the field. Since Chiron is an Earth Attribute monster, it won't be affected by the magic mirror.
Therefore, I'll discard a card from my hand to destroy 'Inhaling Flashing Magic Mirror'!"
Chiron raised its magic staff, a red light shot out, and the magic mirror shattered into fragments.
Yugen wasn't surprised. As expected, just as he initially thought, the powerful end game cards in Kaiba's deck were often Dragon-type or Light Attribute, but the small miscellaneous monsters were hard to target.
Perhaps this is the advantage of a card pile.
"Next, I discard the Magic Card 'Card of Compensation,' which allows me to draw two cards from the deck when it's discarded from the hand." AI Sea Horse continued, "Then I activate the Magic Card 'Dragon Spirit Temple' from my hand!
Send a Dragon-type monster from the deck to the graveyard. If the card sent to the graveyard is a Dragon-type ordinary monster, I can then send another Dragon-type from the deck to the graveyard."
The AI quickly searched for two cards from the deck.
"Therefore, I will send the third 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in the deck, which is an ordinary monster, and 'White Spirit Dragon' from the deck to the graveyard!"
AI Sea Horse displayed another card from its hand.
"Magic Card 'Gospel of Resurrection'! This card can revive a Level seven or eight Dragon-type monster in my graveyard.
The one I choose is this card —
—— Level eight, White Spirit Dragon, revive!"
A vortex opened in the graveyard, this time exploding with a more dazzling light than before. The pure white dragon spread its wings, creating a white light whirlwind on the field!
[White Spirit Dragon, Defense Power 2000]
"White Spirit Dragon, activate effect!" AI Sea Horse said, "When this card is summoned, Special Summoned successfully, banish one Magic or Trap Card on your opponent's field from the game.
Therefore, I will banish your Continuous Trap 'Dragon Race Sealing Pot' from the game!"
The white light hurricane swept in, and the Sealing Pot shattered, being absorbed into the vortex and disappearing.
"Amazing..." someone in the crowd exclaimed.
"Indeed. To find a way out of such a situation... to handle this deck so perfectly really makes it seem like the legendary duelist. There's no chance of winning against this kind of AI..."
"Now the real battle begins!"
AI Sea Horse shouted.
"The absolute power of the strongest Dragon Race, now watch carefully!"
Another Magic Card appeared in front of him, accompanied by special effects of golden light.
A classic old Magic Card—everyone gasped when they saw the illustration on the card—
—— Dragon's Mirror!
"Magic Card - Dragon's Mirror, activate!" Kaiba shouted, "Banish the Fusion Material required for a Dragon-type Fusion Monster from the field and graveyard to Fusion Summon the Fusion Monster!
I will banish the three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the graveyard to perform the ultimate fusion!"
Three Blue-Eyes White Dragons appeared on the field, and the vortex of fusion blossomed with thunder and lightning, swallowing all three White Dragons in a flash of white light.
"After a millennium, evolved to achieve the ultimate form, now come forth—
—Level twelve! True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, summon!!!"
The ultimate power of the three-body fusion, an immense and majestic figure towering between heaven and earth, each dragon scale glowing brilliantly, the three dragon heads raised high and let out howls piercing the heavens and earth.
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Attack Power 4500]
"Ultimate Dragon, it really is the True Ultimate Dragon!"
The audience erupted.
They never imagined they'd witness the legendary-level monster usually seen only in video footage. Today's encounter with the arena incident turned out to be an unexpectedly delightful surprise.
"Hahahaha!"
The AI that summoned the Ultimate Dragon finally smiled again, resuming its Kaiba cosplay, crossing its arms to start laughing in three stages.
"Hahaha... Tough! Invincible! The strongest!"
"This is the final form of the White Dragon, the strongest... hm?"
He stopped halfway, sounding as if he had accidentally bitten his tongue.
He noticed that Yugen's backfield had another Trap Card set up at some point.
That card is...
...Hellish Aggregation?
What the hell?
"Trap Card - Hellish Aggregation's effect," Yugen said calmly, "can be activated when the opponent's Fusion Monster successfully Fusion Summons.
Sacrifice one monster on your field to gain control of that opponent's Fusion Monster."
AI Kaiba: !!!!!
It showed an incredibly realistic expression of Kaiba-style shock.
Mixed with bewilderment and anger, as if saying—
—How could he know I was going to summon the True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon!
The whole world knows the president is going to summon the True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon.JPG.
And...
...what the freaking ultimate underworld NTR trap is this!?
"'Dragon's Mirror' is treated as a Fusion Summon, so Hellish Aggregation can indeed be activated on the summon by Dragon's Mirror."
Yugen sent the Monster Card on his Duel Disc to the graveyard and pointed at the opposing three-headed dragon.
"Therefore, I sacrifice the 'Dragon Rider' on my field to gain control of the 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon'!"
The effect, like hellfire, engulfed the Ultimate Dragon, and then appeared on Yugen's side of the field the next moment.
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Attack Power 4500]
The spectators: "..."
What more could they say?
Words could no longer express the deep shock in their hearts.
All they could say was...
...this master is invincible!
Even the epic-level big monster like the True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon has been turned over.
This success must feel amazing for a day... no, it could probably feel amazing for half a year?
"My turn, draw a card!" Yugen played another Magic Card, "activate the Magic Card 'Flash Absorption' from my hand!
This card allows me to choose a Light Attribute monster on your field, and all face-up monsters on my field gain attack points equal to the selected monster's attack points until the end of the turn."
AI Kaiba: "..."
Select the opponent's Light Attribute, brutally increasing attack power.
Yet another card with the word "counter" stamped on it.
The AI-projected Kaiba hologram froze at this point, with its holographic figure flickering constantly, switching back and forth between several facial art expressions, repeating words robotically like a system malfunction.
"Bastard... ziz... scum... ziz... dog currency... ziz..."
The spectators looked at one another.
What kind of situation is this?
Did it really crash the system?
Sato Koji's gaze towards Yugen on the field had almost turned into adoration at this moment.
Brother Yugen is amazing...
"I choose your 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon' on the field and gain its attack power. Therefore, the attack power of the True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon becomes..."
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Attack Power 4500→Attack Power 7500]
"Attack power of seven thousand five! More than even legends..."
One spectator instinctively blurted out, but then realized there seemed to be no legendary measuring unit to weigh such an overwhelming battle power.
So they had to change their words.
"...invincible! Big cheers!"
"True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, attack 'Wise Centaur Chiron'!"
[Wise Centaur Chiron, Attack Power 1800]
The three heads of the White Dragon simultaneously opened their mouths, unleashing a terrifying wave of light. The tide-like white light swept everything on the opposite half, leaving the AI in chaos amidst the light...
