Shooting Sonic!
A beam of starlit energy poured out like a stardust road from Stardust Dragon's mouth. Powered by Hyper Synchro, Stardust Dragon's attack strength surpassed the Blue-Eyes template. The stardust shock pierced through the body of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, causing the latter to let out a mournful cry and turn to ashes.
Yusei swept his right hand.
"Set one card face-down, turn ended."
"Hmph, it's insignificant." Kaiba calmly withstood the shock and then suddenly raised his tone, "My turn!"
He drew a card and immediately played it with a reverse hand motion.
"Activate Magic Card 'Pot of Greed' from the hand, draw two cards from the deck!"
With two new cards in hand, at that same moment, Yusei also made a quick, sweeping motion.
"Then Flip Cover Card! Trap Card 'Card of Reversal'!" Yusei announced, "When the opponent adds cards to their hand outside of the Draw Phase, draw cards from the deck until my hand equals the opponent's!" (Anime card)
Yusei's number of cards in hand suddenly caught up, but Kaiba seemed indifferent, only giving a low sneer.
"No matter, I will finish you this turn!" He raised his volume, lifting a card from his hand high, "Ritual Magic 'Chaos Form'!
Until the level matches the Monster to be Ritual Summoned, use Monsters from hand and field as sacrifices to conduct a Ritual Summon on a 'Chaos' Ritual Monster!"
A giant chaos vortex emerged behind him, like a gateway to an endless abyss!
Simultaneously, a card from Kaiba's Duel Disk Grave Zone was ejected.
"When the Monster used as material is 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon', it can be replaced by banishing 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the graveyard.
Therefore, I banished the level-eight 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the graveyard to conduct a Ritual Summon!
Receive the baptism from the chaos since the beginning of heaven and earth, traverse space-time and descend in the newest form!"
The dragon's roar transmitted from the other side of the pitch-black abyss, a dragon clad in blue armor spread its wings and rushed out, its entire armor emitted a LED-like blue glow!
"Show your form here—
——Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon!!!"
[Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Attack Power 4000]
The blue dragon descended, its fluorescent high-tech body sparkling, the instant the massive body arrived, it stirred up a blue storm!
Amidst the raging wind, Yusei gritted his teeth, "This dragon... such strong power..."
As a duelist, Yusei had witnessed many grand scenes and encountered many strong opponents. In his memory, only those rare, top-tier spirits or Monsters revered as 'Gods' could exert such oppression!
A strong, scorching stinging sensation followed.
It felt like his arm was being burned by flames, while countless scorching needles seemed to pierce his skin.
This feeling wasn't unfamiliar to him. He raised his arm, seeing through clothing the red light path beneath his skin vividly connecting into a dragon's mark.
That was the Dragon Seal, a representation of the power of the ancient god-level spirit "Red Dragon."
Yusei revealed an astonished expression.
"The power of the Red Dragon? But you already..."
Yusei looked a bit surprised at the imposing blue Chaos Dragon in front of him.
"Is it this dragon's appearance that awakened the Red Dragon's power?"
Kaiba continued, "Activate Quick Magic 'Silver's Cry' from the hand! Special Summon the Dragon-Type Normal Monster from my graveyard."
A card shot from the grave zone of his Duel Disk.
"I revive the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from the graveyard!"
The black vortex opened, Silver's cry pierced the sky. The White Dragon spread its wings, charging out from the Netherworld, its transparent storm shaking the space.
[Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"Next, activate Magic Card 'Fusion' from the hand! Fusion the 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' on the field and another 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in the hand!
The Dragon King transcends time and space, once again merging into one——
——Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, Summon!!!"
Another fusion, the two White Dragons flew along a straight beam into the sky, merging once more into the Twin-headed Giant Dragon!
Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, number two!
[Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, Attack Power 3000]
"In just one turn, to achieve such a position from an empty field..." Yusei muttered.
"Battle!" Kaiba swung his arm, "First, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon attacks Stardust Dragon!!!"
The Chaos Dragon raised its head, its armor seemed to be pushing energy into its mouth overloaded!
The chaotic cannon spiral shot out, its energy pulsated through space, carving a deep trench onto the ground, hitting Stardust Dragon's slender frame hard.
Stardust Dragon let out a painful scream!
[Yusei, LP 3300 →LP 2600]
Yet, despite this, it stubbornly hung on!
"What?" Kaiba frowned.
"Hyper Synchro's other effect!" Yusei shouted, "The Monster summoned using it as Synchro material isn't destroyed by battle.
However, as a cost, during its own second Standby Phase after being summoned, the Monster must be banished from the game."
"Hmph, a way to barely survive." Kaiba said, "Then Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon attacks!"
Yusei's eyelid twitched a bit, "Attacking with a Monster with lower attack power?"
Something strange must be happening here, for sure! He had no other choice either: "Stardust Dragon, fight back! Shooting Sonic!"
Stardust Dragon swung its long neck, silver energy beam laden with starlight shot out, predictably smashing through and obliterating Twin Burst Dragon's beam, fiercely hitting the double-headed dragon's body!
Kaiba's face remained unchanged, allowing the impact aftermath to sweep over him as he calmly said, "Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon isn't destroyed by battle."
"But the battle damage still counts." Yusei said.
[Kaiba, LP 4000 →LP 3700]
Yusei frowned slightly.
Just because it can't be destroyed, what's the point of such an attack?
"Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, another effect." Kaiba said, "The Monster it attacks but isn't destroyed by battle... banish directly from the game!"
"What!?" Yusei's pupils contracted.
Kaiba raised a finger pointing at the Stardust Dragon hanging mid-air.
"Banish 'Stardust Dragon' from the game!"
Twin Burst Dragon roared, both mouths opened wide. An eerie and distinct beam struck Stardust Dragon's body, simultaneously opening a dark micro black hole behind it.
A strong shock forced Stardust Dragon into the vortex, it let out a quiet whimper, and soon vanished within it.
"Stardust..."
Yusei clenched his fist.
Blue-Eyes Twin Burst, attacking Monsters with lower attack power directly erases them, and those with higher are banished from the game. This effect doesn't target and isn't destruction, almost capable of eliminating any Monster standing before it.
Not only that, it also has multiple attack effects.
"A truly terrifying Monster." Yusei thought in his heart.
"Set one card face-down, end turn!"
