Chapter 419

The strongest Blue-Eyes in history...

Connecting it to the fact that he is in the world of the anime and facing President Kaiba, he seems to have guessed what that refers to.

If it is 'that'... no, theoretically, that card should no longer exist.

But regardless, the answer was revealed soon.

"I activate the Spell Card 'Shuffle Reborn'," Kaiba said. "This card can only be activated when there are no monsters on my field. Choose one monster in the Graveyard and Special Summon it."

Azure data streams converged into a card, ejected from the Graveyard of his Duel Disk.

"My strongest servant, the ultimate dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, revive!"

The white light rushing into the sky, the earth-shaking momentum, the invincible three-headed White Dragon descended again with its divine power!

【Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, ATK 4500】

"Calling back the Ultimate Dragon so quickly, as expected of the President," Fujiki You Xuan smiled. "But the monster summoned by the effect of 'Shuffle Reborn' has its effects negated, and it needs to be banished from the game during the End Phase."

"Eh?" Mokuba was stunned. "But 'True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon' exists in the Graveyard, so brother's Ultimate Dragon is invincible now, unaffected by any card effects..."

"No, it's 'unaffected by opponent's card effects'."

Judai said with a smile, leaning against him.

"But 'Shuffle Reborn' is President Kaiba's own card, so the side effect cannot be avoided."

"Ah, is that so..."

"Having said that, with President Kaiba, he must already have his own considerations," Marufuji Ryo said.

He was right.

Kaiba had slowly pulled out a card from his hand.

"Finally," he said slowly. "Spent so many years, finally obtained this power again."

"Lend me this power once again, and descend in your strongest form—"

The President's pupils contracted, and when the card in his hand was raised, a beam of shining blue brilliance shot straight into the sky. The blue light rushing into the sky shot straight into the clouds, attracting endless churning azure thunder dragons.

Judai was stunned.

It seems like something incredible is about to come...

"Tribute 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'!"

Once this was said, everyone felt even more surprised.

The Ultimate Dragon, which had already become so powerful... actually going to sacrifice it? What kind of monster should come out with such conditions?

"A summon from above the ultimate monster, the Dragon of Light that erases everything, appear—"

"—Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!!!"

Appearing from the light, what appeared in front of everyone was that legendary ultimate monster. As if wearing armor woven from refined steel and stars, the cold and deep blue brilliance was as pure and intense as a newborn blue sun.

No, that is not a dragon, but more like a guardian god.

Worshipped as a god by the people of ancient Egypt, it first saw the light of day in the form of a card many years ago in the hands of Pegasus, the father of Duel Monsters, briefly becoming Kaiba's new trump card that surpassed the gods.

But it was also at the end of the 'Jin Zita of Light' movie, when Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon burned itself out during its final activation and disappearance, blowing up the enemy boss's root 'Jin Zita of Light', but as a price, this card also disappeared into light spots.

This was the ceiling of the White Dragon that Kaiba had touched so far, even after so many years, he hadn't been able to develop a stronger form. So naturally, he tried every possible way and used all resources to try to remake this card.

And now, after so many years, he finally succeeded.

Back then, Atem was the first and last opponent he faced after obtaining Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. And now, Fujiki You Xuan became the second.

【Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, ATK 3000】

"When Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon is affected by any card effect, the controller can choose whether to accept it or not." (Original effect)

Kaiba shouted.

"This is the final evolved form of the White Dragon, possessing ultimate resistance!"

"Choose whether to accept it or not!?" Marufuji Ryo's expression changed slightly.

Does such resistance exist in the world?

"As expected, it's the strongest resistance that surpasses the Ultimate Dragon from just now," Judai also said.

As expected of the legendary Kaiba Seto. The fully-resistant Ultimate Dragon from just now was already an epic-level rare strongest monster in their eyes, yet it was surpassed so easily...

"... I activate the Spell Card 'Dragon Shrine'," Kaiba said faintly. "Send one Dragon-Type monster from my Deck to the Graveyard. And if it is a Normal Monster, I can send an additional one to the Graveyard."

Two cards automatically popped out of his Deck.

"I send two 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' as Normal Monsters from my Deck to the Graveyard."

"The fusion of 'Ultimate Fusion' shuffles the fusion materials back into the Deck," Fujiki You Xuan understood. "To increase the power of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon?"

Kaiba snorted.

"Heh, you know quite a lot. Not bad, the ATK of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon increases based on the number of Dragon-Type monsters in my Graveyard," Kaiba shouted. "For every Dragon-Type in my Graveyard, the ATK of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon increases by 300 points!"

The images of the Dragon-Type monsters in his Graveyard emerged one by one.

From the Dragon-Type discarded as the cost for XYZ-Dragon Cannon's effect in the first turn, then the Tyrant Dragon discarded by 'Card of Demise', True Ultimate Dragon, the Ultimate Dragon just sacrificed, and then the two White Dragons sent to the Graveyard by 'Dragon Shrine'...

"Six Dragon-Types, total ATK increase of 1800 points!"

【Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, ATK 3000 -> ATK 4800】

"Even the ATK surpassed the Ultimate Dragon!" Judai couldn't help but say.

"Not only that, the more terrifying thing is that this ability has no upper limit," Marufuji Ryo said in a deep voice. "Even if Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon obtained total resistance, its ATK was only 4500."

"But for this Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, it can be foreseen that as there are more and more Dragon-Types in the Graveyard later, the ATK will only increase further..."

For this dragon, it wouldn't be strange no matter how high the ATK soared.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he almost couldn't believe that such a level of monster existed in the world...

He couldn't help but look at Fujiki You Xuan again.

With such a duelist, such a monster as an opponent... could he still continue to be as calm as ever?

"I really got to see it..."

Fujiki You Xuan looked up at the god-like shining body and muttered.

"The anime effect Shining Dragon."

And Judai and Marufuji Ryo didn't know yet that what Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon showed was still not its full power. It also had a hidden final effect, although it wouldn't be easily used as a trump card, it couldn't be underestimated either.

"The power of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon will allow me to firmly grasp the light of victory in my hand. But before entering battle..."

Kaiba waved his hand, and the face-down card in his backfield was activated.

"I activate the face-down card, the Spell Card 'Ancient Rules'. I can Special Summon a Normal Monster of Level 5 or higher from my hand."

"Appear, Bai Bai Linglong!"

In the white brilliance, the White Dragon in the form of a spirit flew and descended, and the transparent white whirlwind rolled straight toward Fujiki You Xuan's backfield.

"When Bai Bai Linglong is summoned, I can banish a Spell/Trap card on the field," Kaiba shouted. "Banish the face-down card in your backfield directly!"

Fujiki You Xuan's face-down card in the backfield was rolled up, the Trap Card 'Dimension Wall'.

A trap that can transfer battle damage to the opponent.

Judai understood.

"Oh! There's that move..."

"Hmm, even if Shining Dragon can freely choose whether to accept any effect, 'Dimension Wall' transfers battle damage and does not affect the monster," Marufuji Ryo also said.

Monsters might be invincible, but duelists are not.

If Kaiba was complacent about his invincible Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and relied on its strongest resistance to just punch over regardless, then Fujiki You Xuan's 'Dimension Wall' would counter-attack, and Kaiba would lose immediately.

To be killed in such a way, I'm afraid he would die with regrets...

At the same time, he couldn't help but take another deep look at Fujiki You Xuan.

Really insidious means emerge one after another...

"Hmph, 'Dimension Wall', huh, but it's useless in front of me."

Kaiba raised his volume and shouted.

"Now is the real end!"

His gaze was firm.

Compared to winning against Fujiki You Xuan, advancing to the finals, or winning the Duel King title, this match had a more special meaning to him.

This was his comeback match, and also a new step he was determined to take toward the future.

He wanted to open up this bright future together with his soul, his strongest servant.

"Attack of Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"

"Shining Nova!!!"
