The right to operate returned to Judai again.
He had only 700 LP left, and his field was empty. On the other side, there was also a "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon" with strong resistance and amazing destructive ability. All the details almost point to the same result, which was——
——The Winning Formula is complete!
"It's my turn, draw! Activate the Spell Card – Convert Contact!
This card can only be activated when there are no monsters on my field. Send 2 'Neo-Spacian' monsters, 1 from my hand and 1 from my Deck, to the GY, then draw 2 cards. "
Judai sent the two 'Neo-Spacian' cards to the GY. After drawing the cards, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Kaiba faintly realized something was wrong, and frowned.
This guy… Could it be that he has found a way to defeat the "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon" so quickly?
"Here we come, Mr. Kaiba! First, I activate the trap card 'NEXT' from my hand!"
Seeing the trap that appeared on Judai's field, Kaima couldn't help showing surprise.
"A trap card activated in the hand?"
"If I control no cards, I can activate this card directly from the hand!" Judai said, "I can Special Summon any number of monsters with different names from the hand and/or GY, in Defense Position, that are all "Neo-Spacian' monsters or 'Elemental HERO Neos', but negate their effects.
Resurrect from the GY! Elemental HERO Neos, Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab! "
The trap card rolled up a vortex on the ground, the Elemental HERO who received the mysterious fluctuations from the depths of the universe, and the mole and beetle heroes from Neo Space appeared one after another, blocking in front of Judai like an iron wall.
[Elemental HERO Neos, DEF 2000]
[Neo-Spacian Grand Mole, DEF 300]
[Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, DEF 500]
"Defensive monsters are useless in front of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon." Kaiba said lightly, "But I think you should already know this."
"Yeah, I know." Judai smiled, "Activate Spell Card – Space Gift. Draw 1 card for each different "Neo-Spacian" name on the monsters I control.
I have 2 'Neo-Spacian' monsters on the field, so I draw two cards from the deck. "
Drawing two cards and adding them to his hand, Judai clenched his fists: "Mr. Kaiba, I have seen the power of your dragon, now I'll let you see the true power of my Neos!"
Kaiba raised his eyebrows.
"I return the three monsters on the field, 'Elemental HERO Neos', 'Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab', 'Neo-Spacian Grand Mole' to the deck! Triple Contact Fusion!"
Neos: Flare Scarab, Grand Mole, lend me your strength!
"Contact Fusion!?" Kaiba was surprised.
The three monsters on Judai's field flew up together, flying high into the air, as if they broke through the atmosphere, flew out of the earth, turned into shooting stars that shuttled through the starry sky, and shot into the vast and endless universe, converging into that magnificent galaxy.
The starry sky responded.
In the galaxy where the three beams of light entered, a huge fireball rolled down! The red-hot burning sphere flew straight back, broke through the atmosphere, crashed down with a roar, and exploded on the ground with a soaring explosion!
The hero emerged from the bursting flames with a burly figure, and the thick armor seemed to be burnt red by lava. He landed heavily, and white smoke rose from the ground "hissing". The super high temperature seemed to refract the light, making the air around him seem to be distorted and drifting.
The Triple Contact Fusion summoned one of the most powerful forms of Neos!
[Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 3000]
"The attack power is the same as that of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon…" Kaiba said.
Of course, this was only the original attack power.
Kaiba, who faced this hero in person, could clearly feel that this hero's power is not limited to this!
This monster gave him an extremely tyrannical oppressive force. The power contained in it was not at the same level as ordinary monsters, and even his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" might be inferior.
Perhaps only the "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" could compare with it in terms of momentum!
"Magma Neos' effect is activated." Judai said, "This card gains 400 ATK for each card on the field!"
Now there were five cards on the field: Magma Neos, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Kaiba's two set cards, and the Continuous Spell Card "Frontline Base" activated in the first turn.
It meant a total of 2000 points of attack power increase!
[Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 3000 → ATK 5000]
"Attack power 5000…"
"It's not over yet." Judai smiled, and showed another card in his hand, "Activate Equip Spell Card – Favorite Hero!"
Kaiba: "!"
Of course, he was very familiar with this card.
After all, it was the card used by the damned Yuei ↑ Vu ↓!
"Equip it to Magma Neos!" Judai shouted, "Then I will directly enter the Battle Phase here, and the effect of Favorite Hero will be activated at the same time!
At the start of the Battle Phase: I can activate 1 Field Spell directly from my hand or Deck! I activate 'Neo Space'! "
The field card automatically popped up from the deck on the Duel Disk, and the moment it was activated, the duel field was instantly dominated by the world of light.
Colorful lights filled the entire space from the bottom of the feet to the ceiling as if the location of this battle was instantly transferred to the Kingdom of Light at the far end of the starry sky…
…For example, the legendary M78.
"Neo Space's effect – 'Elemental HERO Neos' and all Fusion Monsters that list 'Elemental HERO Neos' as a Fusion Material Monster gain 500 ATK. Then, because there are two more cards on the field, the attack power of Magma Neos increases by another 800 points!!"
[Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 5000 → ATK 6300]
"Next is the effect of 'Favorite Hero'!" Judai continued to shout, "If there is a card in my Field Zone, the equipped monster gains ATK equal to its original DEF, which is 2500 points!"
[Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 6300 → ATK 8800]
Even the Kaiba couldn't help but change his expression: "Attack power…8800!?"
Yusei also couldn't help talking to himself: "Is this… the strength of Judai-senpai? It's so strong…"
"By the way, the monster equipped by 'Favorite Hero' cannot be targeted by card effects." Judai smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Battle! Magma Neos, attack the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon! Super Heat Meteor!"
The hero's whole body burst into flames!
He raised his right hand high, and all the energy in his body was concentrated towards his palm. The light visible to the naked eye concentrated towards his palm as if turning into an air current, brewing into a huge burning energy sphere, which contained a light that could burn everything!
The majestic light was thrown out from Magma Neos' hands as if overwhelming the sky and devouring the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon. Even if a monster as strong as the chaotic white dragon could not resist under that supreme divine light, and could only scream helplessly…
Boom! ! !
The explosion that soared into the sky seemed to burn this new space. The scorching heat and light made people's retinas ache and they couldn't look directly at it.
"Did Judai-senpai… win?"
Yusei put down the arm protecting his face, barely opening his eyes against the strong light.
…No, that didn't seem to be happening.
After Magma Neos' fatal blow, the huge dragon spread its wings and scattered the smoke in space. The indicator lights on the armor showed blue light, and the chaotic white dragon raised its head and let out a high-pitched dragon chant!
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, ATK 8800]
Judai was surprised: "The attack power of the Chaos Dragon… also reached 8800?"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
Kaiba folded his arms and laughed.
"You are very strong, you are indeed very strong." He waved his hand, "But what you are facing is the most powerful duelist on Earth!
At that moment, all my two trap cards were activated!
Trap Card – Enhanced Counter! Negate any battle damage I would take, then make 1 monster I control gain ATK equal to that amount of damage that was negated, during this Battle Phase only! (animation card)
There is also a Trap Card – Time Machine! When a monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the GY: Special Summon that monster to the same field it was on, in the same battle position it was in when destroyed! "
As previously mentioned, in this era, the settlement of the "battle steps" hasn't been completely separated like later generations. The destruction of monsters and the damage calculation were carried out at the same time. Therefore, Kaiba could first use the "Time Machine" to resurrect the destroyed Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon back to the field, and then use "Enhanced Counter" to nullify the damage he has received and increase the Chaos Dragon's attack power by the way.
"As expected of President Kaiba." Yusei quickly saw the reversal of the situation, "Although the attack power was only increased in this turn, the attack of Judai-senpai in this turn is also over.
In the next turn, Magma Neos will be affected by the effect of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, and his attack power and defense power will all be reduced to 0. As long as he takes that blow, Judai-senpai will lose…"
Also, because Kaiba used up the two set cards in his back row, there were two fewer cards on the field, and the attack power of Magma Neos also dropped.
[Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 8800 → ATK 8000]
Obviously, even if he could attack again, he was no longer the opponent of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon.
"Hmph, you can be proud of being able to make up this far." Kaiba said, "But now I'm stronger than ever! If you want to beat me, your strength is far from enough! "
"…That's not necessarily true, Mr. Kaiba." Judai smiled.
"What?" Kaiba's eyelids twitched.
It's almost a bodily instinct. The president immediately felt bad when he heard this sentence…
"My attack is not over yet."
With a wave of his hand, Judai pulled out the Equip Spell from the Duel Disk and sent it to the GY.
"Activate the effect of Favorite Hero! When the equipped monster attacks and destroys an opponent's monster by battle: I can send this card to the GY; the attacking monster can make a second attack in a row!"
With the disappearance of the Equip Spell Card, Magma Neos gained the ability to attack again during this Battle Phase. It's just that correspondingly, he also lost the enhanced attack power, which was 2500 points. Then because there was one less card on the field, another 400 must be reduced.
[Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 8000 → ATK 5100]
Kaiba was surprised: "Do you still want to attack after the attack power has dropped to this point!?"
Although he realized that something was wrong, he had no way to stop it, so he could only grit his teeth and shout: "Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, counterattack! Burst of Chaos!!!"
Even before he ordered, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon had already opened her mouth. At this time, the strength of the two sides has reversed, and a chaotic gust of wind was brewing in the mouth of the dragon. A single blow with an attack power of over 8000 was enough to determine victory or defeat!
However, at this moment, Judai revealed his last card, which was also the card that would determine the outcome!
"Quick-Play Spell – Battle Fusion!" Judai shouted, "When an attack is declared involving a Fusion Monster I control and an opponent's monster: That monster I control gains ATK equal to the ATK of the opponent's monster!"
"What!!??" The president was startled.
Battle… Fusion!?
He couldn't help recalling in an instant the last duel with Yuei Vu. What he was facing at that time was also an Elemental HERO deck, and it was also a fierce exchange of offense and defense between the two sides. In the end, the duel was settled by the "Battle Fusion" drawn by each other at the same time.
This time, in the hands of Yuei ↑ Vu ↓'s apprentice, am I going to repeat the same mistakes I made last time!?
In a daze, the president felt that the image of this guy in front of him seemed to overlap with Yuei Vu in a blur…
It felt as if I had another fierce battle with Yuei ↑ Vu ↓!
[Elemental HERO Magma Neos, ATK 5100 → ATK 13900]
Kaiba was stunned to see that Magma Neos' whole body seemed to be bursting with light. Brilliant golden light wrapped the hero's whole body in the middle, and the lava that shot out from his palm easily tore apart the impact of the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, penetrated the armor, and shattered the body of the dragon of light.
[Kaiba, LP 1300 → LP 0]
Kaiba staggered back half a step, and the black smoke projected by the stereo image slowly dissipated.
He couldn't recover for a while.
…I lost.
And it isn't even Yuei Vu himself who defeat me this time, but his apprentice.
…
…Yuei ↑ Vu ↓, how strong are you now!?
Of course, Kaiba has already passed the stage of "depressed after losing a game" when he first dueled with Yugi.
Or rather, it was because he learned to accept his defeat that he was able to overcome that hurdle and reach the height he was today.
If he couldn't accept even one failure, he would have been unable to move forward long ago.
…Anyway, this was not the first time.
Losing to Yugi, losing to Yuei Vu, and then losing to Yugi again…
If you lost over and over, you would get used to losing.
When he raised his head, he found that a certain unicorn contestant had come in front of him…
"Gotcha!" Judai raised his hand heartily, "That was a fun Duel, Mr. President."
Kaiba: "…"
