As if transcending the shackles of time and space, the colossal white dragon's body loomed, its three dragon heads held high, seemingly piercing through the temporal barrier. The dragon wings flapped, unleashing a storm of light, a terrifying vortex sweeping everything in its path.
True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, summon!
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Attack Power 4500]
The Evil God said: "You actually summoned the Ultimate Dragon during my turn? I see, the Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon and Blue-Eyes White Dragon originally locked by Divine Beast King Barbaros were lost from the field as fusion material, rendering Barbaros' lock meaningless.
Using Fusion Summon to avoid Divine Beast King's attack, not bad."
Kaiba said: "Hmph, ten years and I've been reborn, while you so-called Evil Gods remain stagnant. With your limited imagination, this is as far as you could go, isn't it?"
Evil God: "What?"
Kaiba raised his voice: "Avoid the attack? No, the power of the Ultimate Dragon is far beyond that!
Speed Attack Magic 'Ultimate Fusion's other effect!
If the Blue-Eyes White Dragon or True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon used as fusion material is on the field, then based on the number of such materials, you can destroy the opponent's face-up cards on the field!"
The Evil God's expression changed slightly: "Does the Fusion Summon also carry a destructive capability?"
Kaiba smirked: "Moreover, this destructive effect is not target-selecting. Even entities that cannot be targeted by effects can be easily destroyed...
...though for an insignificant monster like you, it's unnecessary.
Disappear, Divine Beast King Barbaros."
After activating, 'Ultimate Fusion' released a dazzling white light without leaving the field. That light converged into the True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, its three dragon mouths simultaneously churning with incandescent energy, transforming into shooting white beams.
Divine Beast King Barbaros couldn't resist and was pierced through the chest, its majestic energy rapidly melting the Beast King, exploding with a roar.
The Ultimate Dragon faced the opponent's transformed ruins, its dragon heads held high, letting out a sky-shattering roar.
"Skip the unnecessary parts quickly." Seto Kaiba said coldly, "Such boring monsters are absolutely no match for my Blue-Eyes.
If you don't unleash your true power, even as an Evil God, you will be instantly defeated."
The Evil God said calmly: "It seems I underestimated you... very well. As you wish."
The Evil God slowly drew another card from his hand.
"Activate Magic Card 'Magnetic Summoning Circle LV2'." The Evil God said, "Special Summon a Mechanical Race monster of Level 2 or lower from the hand."
A surge of electricity erupted on the field, an electromagnetic summoning circle slowly materializing in the air. Mechanical components appeared within the circle, attracted to each other by electric currents, assembling into a small metal pot.
"Special Summon 'Dimension Pot'."
[Dimension Pot, Defense Power 200]
"Then activate the Magic Card 'Mechanical Duplication Technique'." The Evil God said, "Choose a Mechanical Race monster on the field with Attack Power 500 or less, and from the card deck special summon as many cards with the same name as possible.
The one I choose, of course, is 'Dimension Pot'."
His card deck auto-searched, dark fog swirling around it, as two cards swiftly popped out. The Evil God drew them into his hand, immediately revealing them.
"Special summon two more 'Dimension Pots'!"
[Dimension Pot, Defense Power 200]x2
"Hah, three monsters gathered at once, a tribute for the gods?" Kaiba sneered, "But you've already used your Normal Summon this turn.
Such weak sacrifices will be crushed by my Blue-Eyes' power next turn. Do you think they will last until the next turn?"
"There's no need for you to worry about that, Seto Kaiba."
The Evil God said.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll,' banish three Magic Cards from the graveyard from the game, and draw two cards from the card deck." (Original Card)
The Evil God drew three Magic Cards from the graveyard, tossing them into the air with a wave of his hand.
"Banish the Magic Cards 'Pot of Greed,' 'Mechanical Duplication Technique,' and 'Magnetic Summoning Circle LV2,' three cards from the game, and draw two cards."
The Evil God drew two cards.
"You think that since I already summoned Divine Beast King Barbaros this turn, you won't have to worry about facing divine pressure for a while? Heh.
A duel with gods defies logic, so remember this well from now on!
I activate the Speed Attack Magic 'Speed Summon'! This allows an additional Normal Summon of a monster from my hand this turn!" (Original Card)
"Hah, using Magic Effect to increase Normal Summon counts." Kaiba's lips curled upward, anticipating, "Is it coming?"
"Sacrifice all three 'Dimension Pots' on the field as a tribute!"
The shadowy arm operated by the Evil God raised high, his voice thunderous as he spoke.
"Embodiment of ultimate fear, shivering god—
——Evil God: Root of Fear!!!"
Boundless darkness consumed the three Dimension Pots, their small mechanical bodies quickly ground into dust.
Within the darkness that followed its call, a true ultimate gathering of all fears materialized, a symbol of endless darkness and despair. Merely observing that enormous entity gave a tremendous shock to the mind, and in front of this presence, even Duelists without strong willpower could barely stand firm.
A morbid white bone covered it like armor, not crafted by mundane hands, but formed from the skeletons of beings who died in fear, forged and merged with the Evil God's Magic Power over endless eons, both battle armor and a symbol of status. Atop the Evil God's head rested a devilish skeletal crown, gazing into those eyes seemed to echo with countless twisted struggles and screams of despair.
[Evil God: Root of Fear, Attack Power 4000]
Kaiba, when he first encountered such an existence, was similarly shaken, caught off guard by the mental impact and perhaps one reason for his initial defeat.
But now he was no longer comparable to his past self; his strength soared, his determination matured and solidified. With foreknowledge this was not his first encounter, his expression remained largely unperturbed, even smirking with mockery.
"Is this it?"
Evil God felt his authority challenged, a fire igniting within.
"Don't be so conceited, Seto Kaiba." The Evil God said coldly, "Your new Blue-Eyes may possess some power, but to act arrogant before a god with just that alone, you're sorely lacking.
Evil God: Root of Fear's effect!
When this card is on the field, all monsters' Attack Power and Defense Power, aside from this card, are halved!
Evil God's Intimidation!"
Boundless fear erupted centered on that demon, and even the mighty Ultimate Dragon was not spared.
[True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon, Attack Power 4500→Attack Power 2250]
"Disappear, Blue-Eyes." The Evil God said coldly, "Using myself, Root of Fear, attack the 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon'!"
