"Can't you let go of your obsession with the True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Seto?"
Gozaburo said flatly, then his tone suddenly rose as he shouted.
"But! Even the Ultimate Dragon cannot break free from the shackles of the Dragon Race! The effect of the Dragon Destruction Sword means the Ultimate Dragon must remain in Defense Position!"
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Defense Power 3800]
"You've summoned your strongest monster. It seems this is your limit, Seto," Gozaburo said, "Ultimately, you're still unable to break through..."
"Activate the Magic Card 'Upper-Level Draw,' offering a monster of eight stars or above as a sacrifice to draw two cards from the deck.
What I'm going to sacrifice is..."
He pointed at his field.
"True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon!"
Gozaburo: "?"
Summoning the Ultimate Dragon with such effort only to sacrifice it, what does that mean?
But the three-headed White Dragon was already dissipating in the light, and Kaiba drew two more cards.
Gozaburo frowned.
What are you thinking, Seto?
"You're wondering what I'm thinking, aren't you, Seto?" Kaiba said.
Gozaburo showed a shocked expression.
"Are you troubled, confused?" Kaiba crossed his arms, smirking proudly, "That's why I said, you merely thought you had evolved, but that's not the case at all, Gozaburo.
You've never been able to understand my strategies, and that's unchanged now.
This duel has long fallen into my rhythm and is just one step from your defeat. It's only your obliviousness that keeps you from realizing it."
"What?"
Gozaburo finally couldn't hide the astonishment on his face.
"I've neutralized all your tactics, and I have the unbeatable Ultimate Swordsman on my field.
Even though the 'Abyssal White Dragon' from your graveyard is equipped on my field, and adding the 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' you just summoned, there are still seven dragon-type monsters in your graveyard. The attack power of the Dragon Destruction Sword remains at 9800.
In such a situation, how do you plan to..."
"If you want to know, then watch, Gozaburo, just like when I defeated you at your proudest game of chess and gradually dismantled your influence, taking Kaiba Group from your hands.
You're forever a poor chess player, Gozaburo, while I've always been three steps ahead!"
Kaiba played another card from his hand.
"Magic Card 'Pot of Greed'! Shuffle five Monster Cards in the graveyard back into the deck, then draw two cards!"
Gozaburo quickly reacted: "Pot of Greed... I see, using this method to reduce the number of dragons in the graveyard?"
"Returning 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon' from the graveyard, 'White Spirit Dragon' discarded by the Handwriting Destruction, Blue-Eyes Double Burst Dragon, Rogue Mercenary Corps, and 'Justice Partner Haima Hero,' five cards are shuffled back into the deck, then draw two cards!"
The five cards turned into golden light flying back into the deck as Kaiba drew cards.
"Three dragon-type monsters are reduced from the graveyard, decreasing the Dragon Destruction Knight's attack power by 3000!"
[Dragon Destruction Knight - Destruction Knight, Attack Power 9800→Attack Power 6800]
"Ugh..." Gozaburo frowned, "But even so, the attack power is still 6800..."
But before finishing the sentence, he quickly realized something was off.
By choosing to shuffle back five dragon-types, it could have decreased the attack power of the Dragon Destruction Sword by 5000. Why only shuffle back three...
"Magic Card 'Dragon's Mirror'!" Kaiba shouted, "By removing the fusion materials in my graveyard from play, perform a Fusion Summon on the Dragon-type monster!"
A burst of white light bloomed from his graveyard, with three cards drawn and held in Kaiba's hand.
"I remove three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the graveyard out of play for another fusion!"
Gozaburo was shocked: "But your True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon is already in the graveyard..."
Kaiba ignored him and continued, "The strongest and most ultimate dragon in history, surpassing the boundaries of time and space, now descends here—
—Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, summon!!!"
The three White Dragons appeared on the field again, their bodies merging in radiant light, bursting with dazzling brilliance. The dragon's roar was deafening as if it could shake heaven and earth, the clouds almost blown away.
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Attack Power 4500]
Gozaburo frowned, "Even the newly evolved type of Ultimate Dragon has been abandoned, yet you still summon this outdated form of the Ultimate Dragon at this point?
Moreover, as long as it's a Dragon Race, when the Dragon Destruction Sword is on the field it must turn to Defense Position and cannot activate monster effects..."
"Really?" Kaiba folded his arms with a cold smile.
"What?" Gozaburo frowned.
"The effect of 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' in the graveyard," Kaiba said indifferently, "While this card is in the graveyard, the 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' on your field cannot be targeted by your opponent's magic, trap, or monster effects, nor is it affected by any of the opponent's card effects." (Original effect)
Gozaburo: "!!!"
Such a hidden ability...
"Impossible!" Gozaburo's eyes widened, staring at the ultimate White Dragon in disbelief.
Cannot be targeted by effects and is unaffected by any effects...
"Has Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon surpassed even the divine?!" Gozaburo's face turned grim, "But even though three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' were excluded from the graveyard, reducing the attack power of the Dragon Destruction Sword by 3000, you now have 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' on the field.
You still have 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' in the graveyard, so the Dragon Destruction Sword's attack power will still increase by 2000!"
[Dragon Destruction Knight - Destruction Knight, Attack Power 4800]
"Even if the Ultimate Dragon isn't suppressed by the effect of the Destruction Sword, the attack power is still insufficient..."
"Activate the last Cover Card on the field."
Kaiba interrupted without mercy, activating the last card already set on the field.
"Equipment Magic - Gigantification! When your Life Points are less than your opponent's, the equipped monster's attack power becomes twice its original attack power!"
Kaiba pointed to the strongest White Dragon on his field.
"The effect of 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon' in the graveyard lets the Ultimate Dragon not be targeted by the opponent's effects and not be affected by them, but it can accept effects controlled by its owner.
Thus, equipping 'Gigantification' to 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon,' doubling its attack power!"
[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Attack Power 4500→Attack Power 9000]
"Attack power... nine thousand?!" Gozaburo's face turned ugly.
With nine thousand attack power, and immune to effects...
How can I even fight this?
"I've long since surpassed the past, Gozaburo, and I will continue to move toward the future!" Kaiba declared, "Trying to defeat me using absolute suppression against the Dragon Race? Then my White Dragon will use ten, a hundred times more power to break through!
Let your ghost lie in the coffin, with your obsessions and absurd ambitions!"
Kaiba waved his hand, giving the final attack order.
"Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, attack 'Dragon Destruction Knight - Destruction Knight'! Ultimate Bursting Gale Bullet!!!"
The three heads of the White Dragon simultaneously unleashed the ultimate breath, converging into a storm of light!
The Ultimate Dragon Slayer Knight ultimately couldn't withstand the strongest of the Dragon Race; the torrent of light swept over him, disintegrating the Dragon Destruction Sword and armor in the process. The light flow continued unabated, swallowing Gozaburo as well.
"Seto aaahhh!!!!" Gozaburo roared, unwilling to accept his defeat.
[Gozaburo, LP 4000→LP 0]
