The Blood Moon Three Heavenly Kings confidently set up their respective formations. Kaiba, with his arms crossed and a cold smirk on his face, watched their performance with calm indifference.
Finally, the corner of his mouth curled upward. "Is that all you've got?"
The trio flinched, startled.
Such arrogance, coupled with Kaiba's increasingly mythic reputation in the dueling world, made even their three-on-one advantage feel shaky.
"If this is the extent of your abilities, then you're not even worth considering a challenge. Allow me to show you how a true duelist fights."
"My turn, draw!"
Kaiba waved his hand, flipping over one of the set cards on his field.
"I activate the Trap Card—'No Entry!!' This changes all monsters on the field in Attack Position to Defense Position!"
[Captain Rush, ATK 1200 → DEF 400] x2
[Variable Gear Dragon Cannon, ATK 3800 → DEF 2000]
[Koala Otter Koala, ATK 2800 → DEF 200]
Inoue Kazumi: "He turned all our monsters to defense..."
Akaike Takuya: "Hmph, Koala Otter Koala only has 200 defense. Is he planning to target that weak point?"
Ryosuke: "Even in defense position, the attack lockdown effect of Captain Rush remains. As long as I have two copies of it on the field, he can't attack my side!"
But Kaiba completely ignored their comments.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed,' drawing two cards from my deck."
Kaiba drew two cards. He added one to his hand and revealed the other alongside a card he had just drawn.
"Continuous Spell—'White Eye's Illusion!'"
A spell card materialized in his Magic & Trap Zone, shimmering with golden light.
"The first effect of this card allows me to activate it by revealing Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand."
Kaiba revealed the second card in his hand—it was indeed Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
"When Blue-Eyes White Dragon is revealed, I can special summon a monster from my hand."
"Behold, the glorious descent of this creature—
Level 8, Spirit Ryu!"
A storm of white light erupted, and a radiant spirit dragon ascended into the air. Its skeletal wings spread wide, scattering sparkling motes of light across the field.
[Spirit Ryu, ATK 2500]
"The effect of Spirit Ryu: When this card is summoned or special summoned, I can banish one Spell or Trap Card on the opponent's field."
Kaiba pointed to Ryosuke's set card.
"I'll banish that card."
A swirling vortex of white light engulfed the card, briefly revealing it to be the Counter Trap Attack Nullification before it was exiled to the dimensional void.
[Attack Nullification, Counter Trap
Effect: When an opponent's monster declares an attack, negate that attack and end the battle phase.]
"Tch, he dismantled my second layer of defense," Ryosuke muttered through gritted teeth.
"The second effect of White Eye's Illusion," Kaiba declared coldly. "Once per turn, I can return one monster on my field to my hand. Afterward, I can special summon a Blue-Eyes monster from my hand!"
He pointed to the shining Spirit Ryu on his field.
"I return Spirit Ryu to my hand!"
The white spirit dragon dissolved into a streak of golden light and returned to his hand as a card.
"Then, from my hand... I'll summon Spirit Ryu once again! Return, Spirit Ryu!"
Not even half a second after returning to Kaiba's hand, the white spirit dragon reappeared in a burst of radiant light!
[Spirit Ryu, ATK 2500]
"Can you even do that?" Ryosuke exclaimed. "Re-summon a monster that just returned to your hand?!"
"Hold on, before that..." Kazumi interjected, spotting what she thought was a loophole. "Didn't you say the effect of White Eye's Illusion only allows you to special summon a Blue-Eyes monster from your hand?
But the monster you summoned is called Spirit Ryu..."
She thought Kaiba might be trying to pull a fast one.
Kaiba snorted arrogantly. "Although Spirit Ryu doesn't explicitly state it, it is treated as a Blue-Eyes monster!"
The trio: "..."
There's definitely some behind-the-scenes manipulation going on here! What kind of nonsense is this—'it doesn't say so, but it works like this'?!
You Xuan, who was spectating nearby, was momentarily speechless. Though he wasn't sure if this world's Spirit Ryu differed from the one in his previous life, based on the real-life card's effect, Kaiba hadn't actually lied—the card text explicitly stated, "Treated as a Blue-Eyes for game rules."
"The effect of Spirit Ryu activates again. When it's special summoned, I can banish one Spell or Trap Card on the field. This time, I'll banish your backrow!"
Kaiba pointed to the set card on Akaike's field.
A gust of white wind lifted the card, exiling it to the dimensional void—it was Exploder Armor...
You Xuan sighed inwardly. He noticed that among common traps in real-life Yu-Gi-Oh!, anime characters seemed to have a particular fondness for Exploder Armor. It appeared frequently across generations of the franchise, though its success rate remained perpetually at zero.
"Next, I activate the Spell Card Advanced Draw. By tributing a Level 8 or higher monster on my field, I can draw two cards from my deck."
"I tribute Spirit Ryu and draw two cards!"
Having completed its mission, the spirit dragon dissolved into specks of light, while golden energy filled Kaiba's deck. He smoothly drew two cards.
"Then, from my hand, I activate the Ritual Spell—Chaos Form!"
"By tributing Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand as the ritual material, I evolve the Blue-Eyes into its chaotic form!"
The ritual animation unfolded behind him, resembling a portal to some abyssal dimension. The body of the Light Dragon was consumed within, crackling with azure lightning. A roaring, armor-clad dragon emerged—a chaotic fusion of technology and ancient power!
"Descending once more from the abyss, the Chaos Dragon now manifests!
Ritual Summon—
Level 8, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, ATK 3000]
Another new iteration of the Blue-Eyes, hailed as the strongest spiritual dragon, radiated an overwhelming aura that struck fear into the hearts of the trio, shaking their very souls.
"Another new Blue-Eyes..." Kazumi gulped.
Ryosuke's face darkened. "How many bizarre Blue-Eyes variants does this guy have...?"
"From my hand, I activate the Spell Card Dragon Shrine!" Kaiba declared coldly. "Send one Dragon-Type monster from my deck to the graveyard. If the sent monster is a Normal Monster, I can additionally send another Dragon-Type monster to the graveyard."
In one swift motion, he retrieved two cards from his deck.
"Therefore, I send two copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my deck to the graveyard."
The trio immediately felt a sense of dread. "Three Blue-Eyes in the graveyard already..."
"From my hand, I activate the Spell Card Dragon's Mirror!"
Sure enough, Kaiba raised the Spell Card triumphantly.
"Banish Fusion Material Monsters from the graveyard to Fusion Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion Monster! Therefore!"
Three cards shot out of the graveyard in rapid succession.
"I banish three copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon from the graveyard to Fusion Summon! The strongest, ultimate dragon, transcending time and space, descends now—
True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Summon!!!"
Three white dragons vanished into the Fusion vortex. Amidst thunder and lightning, a pillar of light descended from the heavens. The skeletal wings of the dragon spread wide, and the ultimate three-headed white dragon manifested like a deity!
[True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, ATK 4500]
You Xuan observed from the front row, chin resting on his hand. He mused that Kaiba must have brought Dragon's Mirror along because he only had one copy of Ultimate Combine... or perhaps because Dragon's Mirror wasn't limited to Blue-Eyes and could Fusion Summon other Dragon-Type monsters, given that Blue-Eyes was only part of Kaiba's deck.
Across the field, the trio was utterly stunned.
"All at once... two such powerful dragons..."
"And he dismantled all our defenses in the backrow..." Akaike muttered through clenched teeth. "It looks like at least one of us will fall this turn."
"Don't worry," Ryosuke tried to calm everyone down. "Even Kaiba Seto can't take out all three of us in one turn. Whoever survives will wait until the next turn..."
"Are you misunderstanding something?" Kaiba sneered.
The trio: "?!"
"You three won't have a next turn!"
The trio: "!?"
What did he mean?
Was this guy seriously thinking about pulling off a one-turn triple kill? Impossible!
For duelists of this era, achieving an OTK (One-Turn Kill) in a one-on-one duel was already considered a feat worthy of admiration. A one-turn triple kill? They couldn't even imagine such a thing in their wildest dreams.
This had to be nonsense.
"Battle Phase."
Kaiba raised his hand.
"First, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon attacks Koala Otter Koala!"
The armored Blue-Eyes opened its mouth, crackling with blue light. Energy surged through its armor and into its jaws, surrounded by roaring bolts of lightning.
"At this moment, the effect of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon activates!" Kaiba declared. "When a Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon summoned via Blue-Eyes White Dragon as a tribute declares an attack, change the battle positions of all monsters on the opponent's field! Furthermore, all monsters affected by this effect have their ATK and DEF reduced to 0!"
This declaration struck like a bolt of lightning, leaving the trio momentarily stunned.
"N-Nani?!?!"
[Captain Rush, DEF 400 → ATK 0] x2
[Variable Gear Dragon Cannon, DEF 2000 → ATK 0]
[Koala Otter Koala, DEF 200 → ATK 0]
An overwhelming pressure dominated the field. The ordinary monsters were powerless against the dragon's supreme authority, forced to stand upright and line up obediently to be destroyed.
It was only now that the trio realized the true purpose of Kaiba's earlier Trap Card, No Entry!!. By switching all their monsters to defense position, the effect of Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon would switch them all back to attack position, reducing their ATK and DEF to zero and turning them into sitting ducks!
Realizing this, Ryosuke's face twisted in terror. "He calculated everything to this extent...?"
A devastating blast tore through the chest of Koala Otter Koala, obliterating the massive beast in an instant.
"Ugh!" Akaike screamed as he took the impact.
[Akaike, LP 4000 → LP 1000]
"Next, direct attack with True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" Kaiba roared. "Under the absolute brilliance of the strongest dragon, perish, insects!
Ultimate Burst Gale!"
The ultimate dragon unleashed a torrent of white light, blasting Akaike far across the room. He crashed into the wall behind him, forming a human-shaped crater as if performing some bizarre piece of performance art.
[Akaike, LP 1000 → LP 0]
The remaining two spectators trembled in fear, their hearts pounding wildly. They dared not breathe, as if hiding under a bed in a horror game, praying not to be discovered by the final boss.
But hiding proved futile.
"Your turn is next." Kaiba's cold gaze shifted to the beautiful bartender.
Inoue Kazumi shivered violently and hastily backed away. "W-Wait! Calm down! Both of your monsters have already attacked—they can't attack again!"
"True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, when Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon exists in your Fusion Deck, this card can attack up to three times in one turn during a duel!" (Anime-exclusive effect)
Kaiba bellowed.
The remaining two opponents turned pale as ghosts.
Unbelievable! Attacking three times in one turn?
Why didn't you just print a card called Light of Creation Ultimate Dragon with the effect "Win the game upon summon"?
However, You Xuan recalled that in the anime, while the True Ultimate Dragon could attack three times in one turn, it would self-destruct at the end of the battle phase after using this effect.
Of course, these three probably wouldn't survive that long anyway.
"Ultimate Burst Gale, second strike!" Kaiba shouted. "Attack Variable Gear Dragon Cannon!"
With 4500 ATK, the attack pierced through effortlessly. The Cannon, whose ATK had been reduced to zero, offered no resistance as both monster and master were blasted far away, accompanied by a woman's shrill, prolonged scream.
[Kazumi, LP 4000 → LP 0]
Kaiba crossed his arms, his gaze slowly shifting to the last remaining opponent, Yamaguchi Ryosuke.
As Kaiba's gaze fell upon him, Ryosuke felt as though Death itself had locked onto him. Trembling uncontrollably, he stepped back hurriedly. "Y-You calm down! Even though my Captain Rush's ATK has been reduced to 0, its effect is still active!
As long as two copies of Captain Rush remain on the field, forming an attack lockdown, you still can't..."
"Boring." Kaiba calmly flipped over the last card he had set on his field.
"Trap Card—Breakthrough Skill." Kaiba stated coldly. "Negate the effect of one Effect Monster on the opponent's field. Therefore, I choose to negate one of your Captain Rush cards."
"N-NANI!?"
Ryosuke's face turned ashen.
"Therefore, the attack restriction is lifted. On your field, only one Captain Rush with taunt remains. It's simple—start by attacking this one."
Kaiba raised his hand.
"Ultimate Burst Gale, third strike! Attack Captain Rush!"
The ultimate white dragon opened its mouth once more, unleashing an endless torrent of white light. The poor captain, whose ATK had been reduced to zero, was instantly annihilated into particles, vanishing without a trace.
"Uwaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
[Ryosuke, LP 4000 → LP 0]
