Chapter 204: The Biggest Fireball Ever

Alpha, who ended his turn, looked at Zhang Ka and was silent for a long time.

Then suddenly asked: "You guy... having such a degree of strength, you should be a first-class duelist in the world today, right? Why..."

He paused and lowered his voice.

"... Why help that Kaiba Seto?"

Zhang Ka looked at him expressionlessly.

"You seem to have misunderstood something." Zhang Ka said calmly, "I didn't 'help' Kaiba Seto. Just like I told many people, I'm not very familiar with him.

But I don't seem to have any reason to have to join you, right?"

Alpha was silent for a while, then said: "Kaiba Seto is actually not what many of you think today."

"Oh? What kind is he?"

"A great duelist, a pioneer of the road... perhaps these are also correct, but he is not just that." Alpha said coldly, "Kaiba Seto is a criminal with blood on his hands, the most evil criminal in history.

He didn't even deserve the name 'Kaiba' originally, he was worthless originally.

He was fished out from the depths of hell, from a forgotten world. He was gifted a noble surname, identity, everything that ordinary people dream of.

But how did he repay the person who gifted him all this, taught him to read and write, and gave him all these resources? He took everything from that person, forced him to a dead end, died in despair and pain, and then occupied the nest and took the entire Kaiba Group as his own.

At the same time, in the process of climbing to the pinnacle of this power, he stepped on countless corpses..."

"Yes, I know." Zhang Ka nodded.

The second half of Alpha's unfinished words were suddenly choked back.

"You know?"

"Of course, shouldn't this be something everyone knows?" Zhang Ka shrugged.

A child from an orphanage climbed to today's status entirely on his own. To say that he didn't use any unseen means and didn't have any filth on his hands, no one would believe it.

How much intrigue and what kind of darkness Kaiba Seto experienced in the process of reaching the top, I am afraid only he himself can understand.

"You know?" Alpha said, "You know these, do you feel it doesn't matter?"

"Yes." Zhang Ka said calmly, "But what does it have to do with me? Or rather, at least Kaiba Seto has made this world better for me."

Originally, Kaiba Seto and Gozaburo had their own calculations when they first contacted, but in the end, Gozaburo lost, it's that simple. The President who does whatever it takes to reach the top may no longer be a purely good person, but at least he is better than Gozaburo.

"Kaiba Seto made a promise with his brother when he was in the orphanage that they would build a paradise that could bring happiness to everyone in the world.

Although he may be unscrupulous and has done many things that he himself may not be proud of. But at least seeing Kaiba Seto, who has become a superior today, I can see that he hasn't forgotten his starting point.

Even today, even after experiencing hell, that dream hasn't changed."

Zhang Ka said calmly.

"I only see a person trying to make the world better."

Alpha gritted his teeth: "You..."

"My turn, draw card." Zhang Ka interrupted him, "Set a card to the field.

Then activate the Spell Card 'Card of Sanctity'. Draw cards from the deck until my hand becomes five cards." (Original effect)

"Kaiba Seto's card." Alpha said coldly, "But this card has side effects."

Ah, right, there are side effects...

So Zhang Ka pretended to endure the pain: "However, after five turns, I must discard all my hand cards..."

He thought to himself, you didn't remind me, I almost forgot there was such a big risk.

Alpha looked at the back row he set down.

That Set Card should be 'Butterfly Dagger - Elma', the core of the Iron Blacksmith combination used by the other party.

But it doesn't matter, he also has countermeasures here.

Zhang Ka: "I Normal Summon 'Blazing Inpachi'."

【Blazing Inpachi, ATK 1500】

"Then activate the Continuous Spell 'Morale Boost'." Zhang Ka said, "As long as this card is on the field, every time an Equip Spell is equipped to a monster, the controller recovers 1000 Life Points.

In addition, whenever an Equip Spell leaves the field, the controller takes 1000 damage."

Alpha said: "As long as you activate an Equip Spell, you can... Ma Saka (Don't tell me)!?"

"Not bad, I activate the Equip Spell 'Butterfly Dagger - Elma', equip to 'Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu'. At this moment, because of the effect of 'Morale Boost', I recover 1000 Life Points."

【Zhang Ka, LP2800 -> LP3800】

"Then at this moment, the effect of 'Blazing Inpachi' activates." Zhang Ka said, "Every time I recover Life Points while Blazing Inpachi is on the field, inflict 500 damage to the opponent."

The girl waved her staff, and a blazing fireball blasted out, pasting it on Alpha's face.

"Ugh..."

【Alpha, LP5000 -> LP4500】

"Then because the Butterfly Dagger equipped to Iron Blacksmith is destroyed." Zhang Ka said, "Because the equipment is destroyed, the effect of 'Morale Boost', I take 1000 damage."

【Zhang Ka, LP3800 -> LP2800】

"But 'Butterfly Dagger - Elma' will return to the hand when destroyed." Zhang Ka calmly took out this card again, "Then Butterfly Dagger activates again."

"Another infinite loop..." Alpha gritted his teeth.

Sure enough, he knew it.

Every time Butterfly Dagger activates, the effect of Morale Boost makes Zhang Ka recover LP, triggering Blazing Inpachi's effect to cause 500 damage to Alpha. Then Butterfly Dagger self-salvages and recovers...

This time it's an infinite burn loop!

It made Alpha feel even more like he was inhaling gloomy air. What kind of self-closing combination is this, if it keeps looping like this, even if his 'Absorb Shield' from the last turn passes, the infinite Life Points will also be burned to death by this move.

However...

"Stop this infinite combination right here!" Alpha shouted, "Activate Set Card, Quick-Play Spell 'Cosmic Cyclone'!

Pay 1000 Life Points, banish a Spell or Trap card on the field from the game!"

【Alpha, LP4500 -> LP3500】

He pointed to the Butterfly Dagger on Zhang Ka's field.

"Chain your activation of 'Butterfly Dagger - Elma', banish this card from the game!"

Butterfly Dagger can only self-salvage when it is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, and it can do nothing if it is banished.

Alpha had already seen it by playing to this point, Iron Blacksmith and Butterfly Dagger's combination, these two cards are the absolute core of that deck.

Infinite-ATK Magical Beast, infinite-ATK Magical Marionette, and then the infinite burn...

All the foundations of the infinite LOOP are built on this disgusting Equip Spell. If this thing is not eliminated, God knows what strange things the other party will pull out to use this loop combination next.

Then as long as this most critical card is removed, the loop cannot continue, and any combination cannot be deployed.

Zhang Ka shrugged indifferently: "However, although you banished Butterfly Dagger, Butterfly Dagger has already activated once. According to the effect of Morale Boost, I first recover 1000 Life Points, and then I take 1000 damage when the equipment leaves the field.

My Life Points remain unchanged, but in this process, because of the effect of 'Blazing Inpachi', you need to take another 500 damage."

【Alpha LP3500 -> LP3000】

Only 500 points of damage, Alpha took it and didn't care.

Watching the Butterfly Dagger card fly into the pitch-black vortex along with the cyclone, Alpha's hanging heart finally settled a bit, and then sneered and said.

"Your combination has been cracked. It was indeed a powerful COMBO that startled me, but it ends here."

After a pause, he said with some mockery.

"You spoke very powerfully, saying that I am just a third- or fourth-rate imitator. How do you feel now?"

Zhang Ka ignored it, just pulled out another hand card: "Then, activate the Spell Card 'Forced Transfer'.

Both sides select a monster on their field, and the control of those monsters is transferred."

Alpha: "?"

Forced Transfer? What is the point of activating this kind of thing at this time...

"So that's it, the LOOP was cracked, so you turned your eyes to the powerful power suppression of my dragons? Hmph."

Alpha thought about it.

Gravity Behemoth has the ability to send a Continuous Spell on his field to the Graveyard and destroy a monster on the opponent's field. If Gravity Behemoth is given to the other party, and the other party happens to have a Continuous Spell on the field now, the situation is very unfavorable...

"I choose 'Darkblaze Dragon'." Alpha said.

"Then, I choose 'Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu'."

Iron Blacksmith leaped to the other party's field, while Darkblaze Dragon flapped its wings and came to Zhang Ka's side.

"Gave up Iron Blacksmith." Alpha sneered, "So that's it, knowing that the LOOP has been disintegrated, you simply gave up the other key component?"

"Is that really the case?" Zhang Ka smiled.

Alpha felt a tremor in his heart.

This demonic smile made him have an ominous premonition again...

"Activate Equip Spell 'Calamity Equipment'."

Zhang Ka revealed another hand card.

"The ATK of the monster equipped with this card will decrease by 600 points for each monster on your field."

Alpha: "!"

So that's it.

If this card is equipped to the 'Gravity Behemoth' on his field, then Gravity Behemoth's ATK will decrease by 1200. Darkblaze Dragon destroying Gravity Behemoth will cause 1200 battle damage in one breath.

Then Darkblaze Dragon's effect, inflict damage equal to the original ATK of the destroyed monster, plus Gravity Behemoth's original ATK, which is 2400 points, this hit will cause 3600 damage, and he will lose directly.

What a sinister kid!

However...

Alpha glanced at the remaining Set Cards in the back row, and sneered in his heart.

His last Set Card is 'Threatening Roar', the battle damage he takes this turn is 0, and the monster will not be destroyed by battle. It can be called absolute defense.

Although this move of the other party is very clever, it is a pity that it is still going to fail...

"I equip 'Calamity Equipment' to the 'Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu' on your field."

Alpha: "???"

What's the situation? Equip the Iron Blacksmith transferred by Forced Transfer?

But Iron Blacksmith's effect is...

"That's right, Iron Blacksmith's effect, any Equip Spell equipped to him will be destroyed." Zhang Ka smiled, "However, before that, because another Equip Spell was activated, the effect of the Continuous Spell 'Morale Boost' was also activated again.

The controller of the Equip Spell—which is me, recovers 1000 Life Points.

At this moment, the effect of 'Blazing Inpachi', you take 500 damage."

【Alpha LP3000 -> LP2500】

"Then Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu's effect, the 'Calamity Equipment' equipped to him is destroyed. Of course, because of the effect of 'Morale Boost', I take another 1000 damage." Zhang Ka waved his hand, "But 'Calamity Equipment' has another effect.

When this card is sent to the Graveyard from the field, you can select a monster on the opponent's field and equip this card to it."

Alpha widened his eyes: "Nani da to (What did you say)!?"

Can equip to a monster on the opponent's field when sent to the Graveyard?

The monster on the opponent's field, wouldn't it be...

He looked at his field in astonishment, only to see Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu looking at him, holding his head high and akimbo, actually looking like an 'I am an inside agent' with calmness.

"You... you bastard..."

"'Calamity Equipment', according to its own effect, equip to Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu again.

Then the effect of 'Morale Boost', I recover 1000 Life Points. Blazing Inpachi's effect, you take 500 damage..."

Alpha's face was extremely ugly.

Another infinite loop?

Even blowing up Butterfly Dagger couldn't stop this LOOP?

He raised his head and looked at Zhang Ka with difficulty, only feeling that the boy's figure became more and more hazy in the moonlight.

This guy...

What kind of person is he?

"... Infinite LOOP judgment passed. After infinite LOOPs, the damage dealt to you is infinite. Therefore, take the effect of Blazing Inpachi... the damage of the infinite fireball." Zhang Ka said.

Blazing Inpachi raised her staff, and the rolling flames condensed, gathering into the biggest and most exaggerated burning ball she had ever made.

Alpha: "Ughhhhhhh!!!!"

【Alpha, LP2500 -> LP0】
