Chapter 1347: Just One Card

"Direct attack!"

Bakura announced a total attack.

However, it was a pity that whether it was Machina Fortress, Beast King Barbaros, or Revived King Ha Des, the triple bombardment all landed on an invisible transparent barrier in front of Dartz, failing to cause even the slightest ripple.

Bakura raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is it the last trap from just now?"

"Correct, just before your 'Beast King Barbaros' destroyed the entire field, I activated my last face-down card," Dartz said. "Trap Card 'Threatening Roar'."

Dartz showed the trap he had activated last, and at the same time, a pale, transparent barrier wrapped his entire body on the field.

"'Threatening Roar' makes all battle damage I receive this turn 0," Dartz said.

"Haha, not bad, not bad, although it's a small trick, it's effective," Bakura smiled. "Fine, then you've won yourself another turn, which is likely also the last turn."

"Seize this opportunity well, because this time it's really the last time, there won't be another."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and set a card: "Set one card, turn end."

"My turn..."

Dartz took a deep breath, as if this were the deepest breath he had taken in the ten thousand years since the destruction of Atlantis.

As if this were his last breath.

Then he looked up, his sinister eyes reflecting green light.

"The preparations are complete, the stage for the ritual has been set. This turn, this time... you will see the full picture of fate!"

The field zone on the side of Dartz's Duel Disk popped out again, and the field card of the second layer of the Barrier also decomposed into points of light and dissipated. In its place was a new card, the final field of Orichalcos.

"The third layer of the Orichalcos Barrier, Orichalcos - Tritos!!!"

The third hexagram magic circle opened, countless runes branded on the magic ring, slowly rotating, tightly locking onto the two existing barrier rings.

The final barrier of Orichalcos, Tritos!

"The third layer of the Orichalcos Barrier also inherits the effects of the previous two layers of the Barrier, and on this basis, all monsters on my field are unaffected by the opponent's Magic and Trap cards."

Dartz revealed another monster card in his hand: "Then there is 'Orichalcos Shunoros' in my hand, this card can be Special Summoned directly from the hand by paying 500 Life Points."

【Dartz, LP 12400 → LP 11900】

Www_ttkΛn_CO

"Special Summon 'Orichalcos Shunoros'!"

【Orichalcos Shunoros, ATK 500 → ATK 1000】

"Then activate the Quick-Play Magic 'Mystical Wok', offer a monster on my field as an Offering, and I can absorb Life Points equal to that monster's attack value."

"I offer 'Orichalcos Shunoros' as an Offering, and absorb its 1000 attack points as Life Points!"

【Dartz, LP 11900 → LP 12900】

"Then when Shunoros leaves the field, Special Summon 'Orichalcos Dexia' from the Deck!"

Shunoros disappeared, and a beam of green light flew out from Dartz's Deck, transforming into that tall green god-puppet, crashing onto the field like a god descending.

Dartz: "When Shunoros is on the field, it can absorb all battle damage I receive, and the attack power of the summoned Dexia becomes the value of the battle damage absorbed while Shunoros was on the field."

"Because Shunoros didn't absorb any damage while on the field, Orichalcos Dexia's attack power is now 0."

【Orichalcos Dexia, ATK 0】

"Then Dexia's other effect activates: when this card is face-up on the field and its attack power becomes 0, this card is destroyed directly!"

The green god-puppet that had just landed was immediately covered in cracks with a 'clatter', and then shattered into pieces with a crisp sound.

"And when Dexia is destroyed, pay all Life Points over ten thousand and discard all cards in my hand to Special Summon this card from the Deck. Descend, incarnation of God—"

"—Serpent Deity!"

In the dark vortex and endless storm, a giant python that seemed to devour the world appeared from the chaos, descending with a divine body that destroyed all things!

【Serpent Deity, ATK ∞】

Infinite attack power, as if accompanied by infinite divine might. Bakura faced the pressure, looking at the serpent body, but his face showed no fear, and he was still looking up and laughing loudly.

"Infinite, the level of a god! Good, good! This is finally somewhat decent, hahaha—"

He laughed happily, laughed maniacally, as if the one who summoned this infinite giant serpent was not the opponent but himself.

This made Dartz increasingly irritable.

"When Serpent Deity is on the field, although my Life Points become 0, I will not be defeated because of it!" Dartz said.

【Dartz, LP 0】

Dartz: "Now my victory or defeat, my life, are all bound to this Serpent Deity! The only way for me to be defeated is to have Serpent Deity leave the field!"

"And Serpent Deity's attack power is infinite, right?" Bakura smiled. "That's really impressive."

"However, every time Serpent Deity declares an attack, I must send ten cards from the top of my Deck to the Graveyard."

Dartz grabbed the top ten cards of his Deck and stuffed them all into the Graveyard.

"But it's enough, use the god's strike to make you disappear completely now! Serpent Deity, attack 'Revived King Ha Des'!"

Ten cards were sent to the Graveyard, as if swallowing all the energy contained in those ten cards, Serpent Deity opened its bloody mouth, spitting out an infinite strike.

That was an unstoppable torrent, that was a strike that annihilated all things, just like the roar of fate itself, all things in this absolute fate were tiny dust.

Bakura faced the strong wind, faced the serpent's roar, and shouted loudly: "Is this the posture of fate? Is this what you call the torrent of the era?"

"Correct!" Dartz also shouted. "This is the god of the new world! In that brand new world, neither you nor the nameless Pharaoh will have a place!"

"Disappear as dust in history!"

But Bakura was still laughing happily: "Is that so? Seeing that you were finally willing to call out the so-called god, I was quite happy, but it's a pity—"

Dartz: "What?"

"It's a pity that even your so-called god is just so weak, just like your fate! So weak that just one card, the most ordinary card, can make this fate collapse completely!"

Dartz's face changed drastically: "What are you talking about? In the face of this infinite power, what exactly do you want to..."

"Nothing, just as I said, just the most ordinary card!"

Bakura laughed.

"Activate face-down card, Trap Card..."

As if to cover up his panic, Dartz shouted before the opponent finished: "Any Magic/Trap is useless in the third layer of the Barrier!"

"Your god is unaffected by effects, I know, but there are countless ways to defeat power of this level!"

Bakura drowned him out with a louder voice.

"Trap Card 'Unification'! Choose one monster on the opponent's field, and make the attack power of all other monsters on the field become the same value as the target monster!"

Dartz: "!!!"

Nani? Attack power becomes the same...

"The one I choose is, of course, Serpent Deity!" Bakura shouted. "And what this trap affects is not Serpent Deity itself, but all monsters other than Serpent Deity!"

"Therefore, the attack power of other monsters also becomes infinite!"

【Revived King Ha Des, ATK 2400 → ATK ∞】

The power of the undead dragon also soared to infinity, on par with Serpent Deity!

With the same attack power, both sides will kill each other, and both will perish together. But both sides understood what this meant.

For Bakura, he would only lose one monster.

But for Dartz, his life, his victory or defeat, had all been bound together with Serpent Deity.

"How is this possible!?" Dartz's handsome face was ferocious. "Serpent Deity was really just defeated by one card..."

"I said, your fate is weak and unbearable, just like your vision is only as big as a damn puddle," Bakura laughed loudly. "Who did you say's era ended, old thing? You and that mud loach of yours go play in the mud in the Underworld!"

Boom—

Dartz: "Ahhh—"
