Chapter 412: Semi-finals

Insert the deck, put on the Duel Disk, You Xuan got up and left the room.

But before leaving, he suddenly felt a faint vibration in his inner jacket pocket.

You Xuan was stunned and took out the mini version of the Millennium Puzzle, the Sealing Artifact, from his inner pocket.

It seemed that this thing should have moved just now.

So far, it seems that it only reacts to powerful dark forces, and there is no movement at ordinary times. Is it because this battle will also involve whether he and Kaiba will go to directly confront the root of Orichalcos, so it has a reaction?

No, it may also be because of the connection between Kaiba and Atem themselves. They were originally destined opponents who loved and killed each other for three thousand years, so it is not strange that they react to Kaiba and the power of the White Dragon.

But now that he is holding it, it seems that there is no movement.

You Xuan thought about it, no matter what, he hung it up first.

He doesn't know if it's useful, but anyway, take it first. Not to mention the duel with Kaiba, if he really faces the Arbiter in the end, it will probably be helpful.

Walking out along the long corridor, when he stood on the duel field, Kaiba seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

"You've come, huh."

Kaiba slowly opened his closed eyes and looked at You Xuan.

"President, sorry to keep you waiting." You Xuan stood opposite.

Kaiba chuckled.

"Half a year, actually able to have such a big change," he said calmly. "Fujiki You Xuan, whether I misread you or not, let's witness it with this duel."

You Xuan didn't speak, just unfolded the Duel Disk.

There is no need for any politeness with President Kaiba, nor too much language. Dueling is the best way to communicate.

"Duel!" x2

【You Xuan, LP 4000】

【Kaiba, LP 4000】

You Xuan looked down at the Duel Disk, and the indicator light representing the first attack lit up.

He was not polite: "Then I'll

You Xuan drew a card, scanned it once, and quickly pulled out two, one in front and one behind.

"I set one monster in face-down Defense Position in the front row, and set one card in the back row. My turn ends."

"My turn, draw!"

Kaiba shouted, and as he drew, a whirlwind seemed to whip up on the field.

"Spell card 'Graceful Charity', draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from my hand."

Drawing three cards, Kaiba then discarded two cards from his hand.

"Next, I activate the spell card 'Trade-In', discarding the Level 8 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand to draw two cards from the deck."

After swapping his hand, Kaiba waved his hand and immediately played another card.

"Then I activate the Continuous Spell 'Dimension Hangar'!"

The spell card appeared, and its power transformed into a pitch-black vortex in mid-air.

Kaiba's Duel Disk flashed with a pale blue fluorescent light, rapidly executing a search on the data stream converging toward the deck, and soon locked onto three cards, which popped out one by one.

He pulled out those three cards and threw them into the air with force. The cards transformed into images of three mechanical mechs in mid-air, then quickly vanished into the vortex.

"'Dimension Hangar', select three Union monsters of Level 4 or lower from the deck and banish them from the game," Kaiba said. "I banish 'Y-Dragon Head', 'Z-Metal Tank', and 'W-Wing Catapult' from the deck!" (Original card)

You Xuan was, of course, no stranger to this. It was a card used by Manzaimu in the anime, and now it had reached his hands.

However, the XYZ series was a main force Kaiba used in DM, and even in GX, Manzaimu obtained these rare cards from the Kaiba Corporation. The President naturally had these reinforcement support cards himself.

"Next, I Normal Summon 'X-Head Cannon'!"

【X-Head Cannon, ATK 1800】

"'Hangar's' effect: when a monster mentioned on a banished Union monster card is summoned or Special Summoned, I can Special Summon those associated banished monsters."

Two beams of golden light shot down from the dimensional vortex in mid-air, landing on the left and right sides of his field, transforming into heavy tank treads and a mechanical dragon with spread wings, respectively.

"Appear, Y-Dragon Head! And Z-Metal Tank!"

【Y-Dragon Head, ATK 1500】

【Z-Metal Tank, ATK 1500】

"Then, 'X-Head Cannon', 'Y-Dragon Head', and 'Z-Metal Tank' transform and combine!" Kaiba waved his hand.

The three mechs began to transform, releasing tracks like electromagnetic traction between them. The parts rubbed and collided, assembling into the three-colored Dragon Cannon armor, and the heavy treads landed firmly on the ground.

【XYZ-Dragon Cannon, ATK 2800】

"He summoned a monster like Dragon Cannon right from the start!" Yugi couldn't help but say.

"This is the duel of the legendary Kaiba Seto," Marufuji Ryo also said. "Absolute suppressing power; from the very beginning, it's an all-out offensive."

But Kaiba only chuckled.

To him, this was at most just an appetizer.

"'XYZ-Dragon Cannon's' effect: discard one card from my hand to destroy any one card on the field."

He pulled out a card from his hand and sent it to the Graveyard.

"Destroy the set card in the back row."

The Dragon Cannon's barrels lowered, and firepower poured out. The card You Xuan had set was immediately swept into mid-air by the bombardment and turned into fragments under the fire.

Continuous Trap - Dragon-Sealing Jar.

"As expected," Kaiba sneered. "Dragon-Sealing, it was indeed once my weak point. But the me of now has long since surpassed the self of that time. If you think you can seal my attack with just such means, then that is truly disappointing."

You Xuan shrugged.

He knew that while the President's main force was mostly Dragon-type, it wasn't a "pure" Dragon-type deck, so he wasn't too surprised.

"It's not over yet," Kaiba continued. "Next, I activate the spell card 'Iron Call'. If there is a Machine-type monster on my field, I can Special Summon a Machine-type monster of Level 4 or lower from the Graveyard."

"A Machine-type in the Graveyard," You Xuan quickly realized. "One of the cards discarded by 'Graceful Charity'?"

Then that Machine-type monster was most likely

"Appear, 'V-Tiger Jet'!"

【V-Tiger Jet, ATK 1600】

"At this moment, 'Dimension Hangar's' effect activates again," Kaiba said. "When a monster mentioned on a banished Union monster card is summoned or Special Summoned, that banished Union monster can also be Special Summoned."

He raised his arm, and the last golden beam of the banished monster shot down from the black hole in mid-air.

"W-Wing Catapult, Special Summon!"

【W-Wing Catapult, ATK 1300】

"V-Tiger Jet and W-Wing Catapult combine, and then combine with the second stage of 'XYZ-Dragon Cannon'!" Kaiba shouted. "Combination Summon—

——VWXYZ-Dragon Catapult Cannon!"
