Chapter 1360: Father-Son Duel

"Duel!" x2

【Kaiba, LP4000】

【Akhenaden, LP4000】

There was nothing to say; Akhenaden's mission was to intercept Kaiba and prevent him from entering Dartz's throne room. Furthermore, Akhenaden had been resurrected into the living world only caring about the reincarnation of his son, Seto.

Defeat Kaiba in a duel, drag him into his own camp, use Zorc's power to defeat the Pharaoh, and become the new king... This was the old father's current line of thinking.

As for Kaiba, there was no need to mention it. The heartbeat of the President's life could be summed up in one word: "Go." No matter who stood in his way, they would only face death—that was all.

Never mind that Kaiba didn't know at this moment that the person opposite him was his father from a past life; even if he did, it wouldn't have any impact on him. He only knew this was an opponent blocking his path who had to be defeated, and that was enough.

"Then I'll take the first move. Draw."

A card appeared in the palm of Akhenaden's open hand.

The era when Akhenaden played cards was completely different from the current one; ancient Egypt three thousand years ago was still stuck in the nostalgic version of monster brawling.

The spirits Akhenaden used back then had long since been phased out by now, and he didn't have any decent deck to speak of.

Fortunately, this small trouble had long been thought of in advance by the thoughtful Lord Zorc, who had given him a brand-new deck—a deck that was even quite difficult for the ancient relic Akhenaden to understand.

Of course, being the Dark High Priest of the past, once he grasped the basic rules, his aptitude for card games was still quite high.

And the more he understood the power of the deck bestowed by Zorc, the more secretly shocked Akhenaden became, and the more amazed he was at the astonishing potential of this deck.

Precisely because of this, he had absolute confidence in taking down Seto's reincarnation, and his determination to win this game was even firmer.

Because only by winning this game could he persuade Seto to rejoin him, and only then could Lord Zorc bestow this incredibly powerful strength upon Seto as well.

No, he would give Seto even greater power than he himself had received!

Only then could Seto completely overwhelm the current Pharaoh and achieve the status of the strongest king, invincible in the world!

Thinking of this, Akhenaden's fighting spirit grew even stronger, and a sharp, expectant light shot from his single eye.

"I will definitely win; this is also for your future, Seto!" Akhenaden said. "I start by setting one monster in face-down Defense Position."

A stream of golden light converged in his front row into a face-down card.

Akhenaden: "Next, I set two cards in the back row. My turn ends."

"My turn, draw!"

Kaiba said coldly.

"Although I don't know where you popped out from, you neurotic old man, I don't have time to waste on you. So let me finish this quickly!"

As he spoke, he slammed down a monster card.

"Normal Summon 'Lord of D. - Lord of Dragons'!"

Clad in armor resembling dragon bones, the Lord of Dragons appeared on the field, wearing a black cloak, arms crossed, with a cold expression.

【Lord of D. - Lord of Dragons, ATK 1200】

Kaiba: "Next, I activate the Spell Card 'The Flute of Summoning Dragon'! This card can only be activated when 'Lord of D.' is on my field; I can Special Summon up to two Dragon-type monsters from my hand!"

A long flute, seemingly crafted from dragon bone, appeared in the Lord of Dragons' hand and was blown loudly.

The melodious flute sound echoed across the field, and two beams of light flew from Kaiba's hand to the field, one on the left and one on the right.

One golden beam transformed into a golden dragon, its entire body covered in holy light like flames, sweeping out with a whirlwind of golden brilliance.

Another blue pillar of light shot into the sky, transforming into the form of a silver-white flying dragon, its eyes flashing with cyan light, its pure white wings unfolding as if releasing endless white radiance.

Kaiser Glider and Blue-Eyes White Dragon, double summon!

【Kaiser Glider, ATK 2400】

【Blue-Eyes White Dragon, ATK 3000】

"Summoning such two great monsters in the very first turn..." Akhenaden's eyes showed approval. "As expected of my son, Seto. Even limited to such an era, you can still exert the power of the peak of the entire era."

But he followed by shaking his head, changing the subject: "If you are willing to join me and accept Lord Zorc's gift, you will definitely be able to surpass me a hundredfold in an instant. Only then will you understand what true strength is."

Kaiba frowned slightly.

"You keep saying inexplicable things," Kaiba said coldly. "But as I said, I don't have time to waste with you. Battle! Kaiser Glider, attack the face-down monster!"

Kaiser Glider flapped its wings, the shining whirlwind seemingly transforming into energy that filled its mouth from its wings, erupting as a glorious vortex of light.

The face-down monster flipped over, revealing itself to be a blacksmith with a completely red body. The blacksmith was annihilated the moment it touched the stream of light, turning into particles and dissipating.

"Although 'Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu' was destroyed, its Flip effect activates when attacked by you," Akhenaden said. "When 'Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu' is flipped, I can add one Equip Spell Card from my deck to my hand. I will search for this card from my deck..."

Akhenaden drew a card that popped out of his deck.

"I add the Equip Spell 'Vylon Fragment' from my deck to my hand."

"'Vylon'?" Kaiba was suspicious in his heart.

As an authority in the field of card printing, Kaiba considered himself to have an impression of most cards existing in the current world. The cards used by Xin Xin Duoma recently were all ones he didn't recognize, but that was because Xin Xin Duoma had their own card-printing factory.

Yet, this neurotic old man who popped out in front of him actually possessed cards he had never heard of.

Kaiba continued: "Then next is Blue-Eyes White Dragon, direct attack! Burst Stream of Destruction!"

Blue-Eyes opened its mouth, and a spiral stream of light erupted from it.

But his trump card strike did not succeed; Akhenaden calmly activated one of his back-row cards: "Activate face-down card, Counter Trap 'Negate Attack'. It negates the opponent's monster's attack and forcibly ends the Battle Phase."

Blue-Eyes' beam of light crashed into a transparent vortex and was completely neutralized, and Blue-Eyes itself was blown back as if by a storm.

"... Then I set one card. My turn ends."

Kaiba kept his guard up. The opponent clearly could have activated 'Negate Attack' at the very beginning to completely block his attack this turn, but they didn't do so.

This meant that the previous attack was one the opponent had intentionally let through because they wanted to trigger the search effect...

It seemed that the Equip Spell just searched to the hand was the key.

"My turn, draw."

Akhenaden flipped his palm again, and another card appeared in his palm.

He glanced at the card he had drawn, looked up, and said in a calm yet invisibly majestic tone:

"Then Seto, next... it is my turn to let you see what true power is." ===== CHAPTER 1361 =====

Akhenaden flipped his palm again, and another card emerged from his palm.

He glanced at the card he had drawn, looked up, and said in a calm tone that carried an invisible majesty.

"Then Seto, next... it is my turn to let you witness what true power is."
