Chapter 9 Not a Monster
【Blue Eyes White Dragon】【8☆/Light】
【Dragon/Normal】
【3000/2500】
After summoning the one-piece Blue Eyes, Kaiba's actions are not over yet: "Then, I activate the cover card in my backfield, the permanent trap [Orthodox Bloodline]! Targeting a normal monster in my graveyard, I will Its attack indicates a special summon!"
"Come back, [Blue Eyes White Dragon]!"
From the field, from the graveyard, and from the cards in his hand, Kaiba finally gathered all three sleeping [Blue Eyes White Dragon] in his deck this round, and summoned them all to his field. For a moment, even the ominous black fog shrouding the airship "Saint Annu" seemed to be dispelled, and only the dazzling holy light of the three white dragons remained in everyone's eyes!

"Crush! Jade Shatter! Big cheers!" Kaiba, who summoned his three wives - I mean three ace monsters, looked extremely excited.
"Okay, so strong!" Although he has always been very indifferent to Kaiba, Jonouchi watched the three [Blue Eyes White Dragon] appear together and couldn't help showing a shocked expression, "The attack power is higher than the [Red Eyes Black Dragon] If you pay 600 points, there are still three key points!"
"As expected of Kaiba, he easily accomplished what we couldn't do. It really makes people feel excited and admired!"
Hayato also sighed. However, Isis, who was standing next to him, had no confidence in Kaiba: "However, President Seto Kaiba is still walking on the original path. Even if he summons all three [Blue Eyes White Dragon], the three in the future will The fate of all the white dragons dissipating in his body has already surrounded him..."
"Enter my battle stage!" Kaiba ordered, "The third level, destroy Burst Stream!"
Seeing the three blue eyes opening their huge mouths at the same time, about to launch the dragon's breath that can destroy all obstacles, Tapirang interrupted: "You are so reckless to let all the monsters participate in the attack. Since you are so eager to die, I will It’s all right for you!”
"Due to the effect of [Dark Sanctuary], when a monster bent over by a wraith attacks, the attack will be invalid, and it will cause you damage equal to half of the attack power, which will restore my basic points."
"What!?" Kaiba looked at the three [Blue Eyes] on his field with some disbelief. One of them suddenly stopped attacking, and like the previous [Strike Pterosaur], it flew out of the body. A gray ball of light.
[Haima: 3900→2400LP]
[Tairiang: 1000→2500LP]
"How could the Wraith happen? Shouldn't it be on the [Strike Pterosaur]?"
Faced with Kaiba's doubts, Tapiroshi said proudly: "You don't think that sending [Strike Pterosaur] to the graveyard will free the resentful spirits, right, President Kaiba? As long as [Dark Sanctuary] is still on the field. As long as it exists, the resentful spirit will wander around forever."
"Every time before your battle phase starts, I can control the wraith to possess your monster. This effect doesn't even need to be activated, and you can't confirm that it was the monster that attacked."
"How can there be such a cheating card!" Even Jonouchi couldn't stand it anymore. "This kind of card that unilaterally occupies favorable conditions is no different from that bastard Becas!"
In a ward of a private hospital, Becas, who was enjoying a delicious dinner, suddenly sneezed while holding a comic book in his hand.
"Hmph, I just controlled one [Blue Eye]. I seem to be looked down upon by you?" Kaiba ordered with a cold face, "Don't forget, I have three [Blue Eyes] in total! The remaining ones are I want to see how you can block the two of them?"
"[Blue Eyes White Dragon], make a direct attack on Tapir!"
Two white beams of aurora struck one after another. Tapirang opened his Gaika quite calmly: "Open Gaika, [Wall of Partition]!"
"This card can only be activated when your monster declares an attack. It will reduce the attack power of all monsters on your field by the number of monsters on your field Unfortunately, that turned out to be your biggest stumbling block, President Kaiba?"
"Because you have three [Blue Eyes White Dragon] on the field, the attack of all monsters on your field is reduced by 3X800, which is 2400 points!"

The dragon's breath, which originally seemed to be capable of destroying heaven and earth, fell on Tapirang, but it failed to have the desired effect. Under the baptism of light and wind, it only blew Tapirang's hair, and the top of his head was like a Two bundles of hair like rabbit ears swayed in the wind: "Oh my, my, is this your anger, President Kaiba? It's like a breeze blowing on your face."
[Tairiang: 2500→1900LP]
【Tairiang：1900→1300LP】
"Damn it!" [Blue Eyes White Dragon]'s originally inevitable attack was actually weakened to this extent, making Kaiba feel furious. But all the monsters on the field have already attacked, and even he can't do anything for the time being.
"Cover two cards in hand, round, end." Unwilling to do so, Kaiba reluctantly ended his round.
At the same time, Tairiang also said: "Because President Kaiba, your turn is over, and the effect of [Ouija Board] is activated again."
Next to the two letters "D" and "E" in Tapirang's backcourt, the letter "A" emerges from the fog.
"In this case, you only have two rounds left~" Haima's reply was Kaiba's cold snort, "Humph!"

"It's my turn again, draw cards."
Tapirang glanced at the card in his hand and played it: "Summon [Collection of Resentments] in defense position, and then end my turn."
"Because of the effect of [Dark Sanctuary], I released [Group of Resentments] at the end of the stage."
[Tairiang: 1300LP, 0 cards in hand]
【Ouija Board】【E】【A】【Cover Card】
Venue: [Dark Sanctuary]
Compared to Kaiba, who was trying to get rid of Tapirang as quickly as possible because of the effect of [Ouija Board], the operations of each round were quite cumbersome, but Tapirang ended his turn so simply.
After all, for him, there is no pressure to "lose in a few rounds." That kind of thing is what Kaiba has to endure. He just needs to keep his basic points from falling to 0, and then wait two more rounds to win easily.
"My turn!" Kaiba drew a card, which was [Vase of Greed]. This card has the effect of recycling cards from the graveyard back to the deck and then drawing cards. However, because it is a trap card, even if it is drawn this round, Kaiba cannot use it, and it is conveniently blocked by Kaiba.
"Cover a card in my hand, and then I activate the magic card, [Magic Flowerpot]" Kaiba played a card in his hand, "I send the permanent trap card [Orthodox Bloodline] on my field to the graveyard, Add two more cards from the deck."
As [Orthodox Bloodline] entered the graveyard, the [Blue Eyes White Dragon] resurrected by this card also returned to the graveyard. After Kaiba drew two cards, he opened a card he had covered in the previous round. : "Then, I activate the effect of Gaika, [Cry of the Living Dead], and resurrect the [Blue Eyes White Dragon] in the cemetery!"
"Come back, [Blue Eyes]!"
[Blue Eyes White Dragon] (Cry of the Living Dead) [ATK3000]
Looking at the [Blue Eyes White Dragon] jumping repeatedly in the graveyard and on the field, Tapirang chuckled and said: "Oh, does this method remove the influence of the [Wall of Parting]? But, I can also use [Darkness] Sanctuary] bend the resentful spirit over that [blue eye]~"
The effect of [Wall of Parting] on reducing the monster's attack power is permanent. As long as Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] remains face-up on the field, it cannot escape its influence. However, as long as Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes] is used as he did just now, After leaving the field and then returning to the field, the effect of [Wall of Partition] will be removed and its attack power will be restored.
"Hmph, if you can do it, just try it." Kaiba snorted coldly, "Activate the magic card [Book of the Moon] to change the [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] on my field to the inner defense position, and then, I Then reverse summon [Blue Eyes White Dragon]!"
On Kaiba's field, another [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] has returned to normal attack power. Now only the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] equipped with [Dragon Shield Armor] still has an attack power of 600 points. However, because [Dragon Shield Armor] itself has the effect of preventing the monster's attack from causing damage to both parties, and Kaiba has no intention of recovering its attack power.
"Then, enter my battle stage! You can command your resentful spirit." Kaiba sneered and said, "Choose, Tapir, which [Blue Eyes White Dragon] do you want to possess the resentful spirit on?"
"It's about to happen, [Blue Eyes White Dragon]!"
The two [Blue Eyes White Dragons], whose attack power had been restored to 3000 points, opened their mouths at the same time, and as expected by Kaiba, a gray ball of light appeared from one of the [Blue Eyes]!
[Haima: 2400→900LP]
[Tairiang: 1300→2800LP]
"Ahem, even if you blocked the attack of a [Blue Eyes White Dragon], so what?" Kaiba accepted the impact of the light ball without changing his expression, and just took a step back, but his poor expression made him People saw that he was actually holding on, "This blow has an attack power of 3000, can you handle it?"
"Destroy びの, Burst Stream!"
Because of the effect of [Dragon Shield Armor], one of Kaiba's [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] cannot be used for direct attacks; because of [Dark Sanctuary], the attack of one of Kaiba's [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] is invalidated. However, even if there is only one [Blue Eyes White Dragon], Kaiba is confident that it is enough to clear up the last of Tapirang's base points!
However, seeing that the torrent of light was about to spurt out, Tairiang opened his cover card again: "The moment your [Blue Eyes White Dragon] causes damage to me, I will activate this card, the trap card. [Stamina Enhancer-Super Z]!”
The attack of the invincible [Blue Eyes White Dragon] came on Tapirang. Compared with the weakened version of the previous [Wall of Partition], this attack of [Blue Eyes White Dragon] was full of firepower. However, the effect of [Blue Eyes White Dragon]'s attack this time was not even as high as the last time. It was clear that the attack actually hit, but the basic score of Tapiryo in front of Kaiba not only did not drop at all, but actually increased quite ridiculously. Already? !
[Tairiang: 3800LP]
"It's such a pity that I was just a little bit close to being killed by you, President Kaiba." Tapirang said proudly, "Because of the effect of [Physical Strength Enhancer - Super Z], when I was about to receive more than 2,000 points This card can be used in situations of combat damage. When calculating the damage, I will recover 4000 basic points."
[Tairiang: 2800→6800→3800LP]
"It's not that the attack is ineffective, it's just that compared to the increased base points, isn't [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]'s attack a bit lacking?" Jonouchi frowned, "Is that guy Kaiba about to lose?"
Peacock Dance sighed: "Even Seto Kaiba, who controls the three-body [Blue Eyes White Dragon], can't defeat that guy named Tapiro. He obviously looks like such a weak guy."
"Before you hand down the verdict to Kaiba," Hayato on the side glanced at Jonouchi and Mai, "Why don't you two consider letting go first? It's obvious that [Dark Sanctuary] has been activated for so long."
The two of them were stunned when they heard this, and then they noticed that since Kaiba destroyed [Dark Doll - Nicolofia] before, and then when Tapirang activated [Dark Sanctuary], Peacock Wu, who had slight trypophobia, subconsciously He threw himself into Jonouchi's arms and hugged him tightly. As a result, until now, the two of them are actually hugging each other.
Separating in a panic, Peacock Mai and Jonouchi blushed and argued with difficult words such as "accidentally", "can't help it", and "not on purpose".
Kaiba on the field didn't care about what happened in the audience. For him, playing cards was more important.
It was obviously a decisive blow, but it was dodged by Tapirang again. He was in a very irritable mood.
The last two cards left in his hand are [Enemy Controller] and [Defensive Seal], which are very suitable for the attack and suppression deck used by Kaiba. However, Tairiang's deck did not play according to the routine. These two cards were in Kaiba's hands but there was never any chance to activate them.
"My turn is over." In desperation, Kaiba ended the turn. At the same time, Kaiba saw the letter "T" appearing on the backcourt of Tapirang without the need for him to remind him again.
This was the fourth round after Kaiba activated [Life-Destroying Treasure Card], and also the penultimate round before Tapiryo used the effect of [Ouija Board] to win.
At the beginning of the next round, Kaiba must discard all the cards in his hand, and if he fails to clear out all of Tapiryo's basic points before the end phase, he will collect all the [Death Message] cards due to [Ouija Board]. And failed.

【Gaika】
"Then, it's my turn." Tapirang picked up the drawn card and put it in front of his eyes to examine it, with an extremely artificial and exaggerated smile on his face, as if he was surprised by the card he drew, "My luck is really good. Ah, President Kaiba."
"Activate the magic card, [Pot of Desire], and draw two cards from my deck."
"Then, I overwrite a card, summon [Lurker in the Painting] in defense position, and the turn ends."
After a simple operation, the [lurker in the painting] that just appeared on the tapir field became a sacrifice to [Dark Sanctuary] like its predecessors, leaving only one that was sacrificed due to the effect of [Dark Sanctuary]. The cover card is placed in the front field, and the four letters "D", "E", "A" and "T" are placed in the back field.
"My turn, draw a card." Kaiba drew a card. It was the magic card [Dalan]. This card has the effect of destroying all magic and trap cards on the field. Originally, it should be a pretty good card, especially This is when Tapirang's deck is mainly traps.
But......
"Because of the effect of [Life-cutting Treasure Card], this round is the preparation phase for the fifth round after I activate it." Kaiba's face did not change, and he added the [Dalan] that had just been added to his hand, and the one that had been in his hand before. The [Defense Seal] and [Enemy Controller] in my hand were sent to the graveyard together, "I will send all the cards in my hand to the graveyard."
"Oh, oh, oh, what a pity, I seem to have seen [Dalan]." Tairyo looked at the cards Kaiba sent to the graveyard. The top one was the [Dalan] he had just drawn, "If If you draw it one turn early, the [Death Message] card, [Ouija Board] and [Dark Sanctuary] that I collected with great difficulty will all be destroyed. In that case, I will lose. deal."
"But now it seems that you are missing a move after all, President Kaiba."
Confidently believing that Kaiba and there was nothing he could do, Tapiryo proudly pulled out the cover card on the duel plate and showed it to Kaiba: "I can reveal to you that the cover card in my backfield is [Ripple Protective Cover - Wave Power - 】Oh, if you attack me directly, all the monsters in attack position on your field will be returned to your deck."
"Besides, my base points are 3800 points, and you can only use one [Blue Eyes White Dragon] to attack me, so there is no possibility of clearing up my base points!"
"In other words, at this moment, you have no possibility of victory. I will definitely win!"
At this moment, Kaiba's hand is empty, and the three [Blue Eyes White Dragon] on the field have not broken through the power of [Dark Sanctuary] and [Ripple Shield]. "Blue Eyes White Dragon" will also increase Tapirang's base points. All he can use is the [Vase of Greed].
Faced with Tapirang's clamor and the seemingly inevitable defeat, Kaiba suddenly calmed down, and the sound of wind that surrounded his ears because of the airship's flight seemed to have calmed down a bit.
"Isis." Looking at the silent Kaiba, Hayato suddenly called Isis beside him, "How about you try looking at the future now?"
Isis put her fingers on the [Millennium Jewelry]: "I tried it, Hayato-kun. 'All three blue-eyed white dragons disappeared from Kaiba Seto's field.' Apparently, he launched an attack on Tairō, and The three [Blue Eyes White Dragon] were reflected back into the deck by the effect of [Ripple Shield - Wave Power -]. In the future, there will still be no change."
"The future, to be honest, wouldn't it be nice to take a look at that kind of thing?" Hayato smiled and shouted to the seahorse on the field, "Hey Seth, did you hear Isis' prediction for you?"
"I can't hear that kind of boring stuff!" Kaiba replied coldly, but this response proved that he actually heard everything.
"I activate the effect of [Bottle of Greed] that I set in the last round, collect five cards from my graveyard into the deck, and then draw a card." On Kaiba's field, a An ugly big pot appeared, sucked five cards into it from Kaiba's graveyard, and started shaking.
"Put your hopes on this card? It's useless!" Tapirang sneered. Just as he was about to say something, Kaiba interrupted him with a cold face, "You're so noisy, you This bastard fish."
"What did you say?"
"I said, you little bastard, please be quiet. You've been noisy since the beginning of the duel." Kaiba said, closing his eyes and placing his fingers on the card deck of the duel disk. "My future is not going to be the same." It will be decided by boring things like 'prophecy' and 'divination'. The only one who can choose my path ahead is myself!"
Kaiba said, pulling out the top card of the deck. Almost at the same time, a crack suddenly appeared in the [Dark Sanctuary] that enveloped the "Sky Duel Arena" and began to spread.
Feeling the feeling coming from the crack, Tapirang was also surprised: "This, this feeling is!"
"I will sacrifice all three [Blue Eyes White Dragons] on the field!" The card in his hand was raised high, and the [Vase of Greed] in front of Kaiba cracked, revealing a card with a blue border, "If When it comes to the world, scorching hot winds sweep across the earth, turning all creatures into corpses!"
"Come, [Obelisk's Titan Soldier]!"
The moment Kaiba placed the card on the duel plate, accompanied by the passionate symphony, the [Dark Sanctuary] that had shrouded this place for a long time was instantly torn apart by a majestic figure, and the [Giant Soldier] whose body seemed to be able to lift the sky was in Three [Blue-Eyed White Dragons] were sacrificed and revealed their true form in the light spots when they were liberated, declaring to the world what "gods" really are!
【Obelisk's Titan Weapon】【10☆/God】
[Phantom Beast Tribe/Effect]
【4000/4000】
"Just showing up makes me feel like I'm suffocating." Jonouchi looked up at the tall god, "Is that the 'God's Card'?"
"That is, [Obelisk]!" Yugi's face was also full of shock. After he learned about the existence of the "Three Illusion Gods" from Isis, it was also the first time he saw a real god coming, "Compared to [ With an existence like the Divine Flame Emperor Uriah, this is indeed a 'god'!"
"[Obelisk], attack Tapirang!" Kaiba waved his hand and ordered, "This is a divine strike."
"God's Fist Crushing Blow!"
"Damn, damn, it's actually a god card!" Tapirang also didn't expect that Kaiba could actually draw out the god card at such a critical moment, "I activate the cover card, [Ripple Shield - Wave Power-], all your attacks All monsters indicated will be bounced back into the deck!"
"There is also the effect of [Dark Sanctuary], the attacks of monsters possessed by vengeful spirits are invalid!"
Regarding Tapirang's double insurance, Kaiba sneered and said, "You seem to have made a mistake, you idiot? Are you using these effects on [Obelisk]?"
"This is not a monster, this is a god!"
The resentful spirit of [Dark Sanctuary] and the power-reflecting [Ripple Shield] face all obstacles in front of them, [Obelisk] responds with his invincible iron fist!
The terrifying shock wave destroyed everything in an instant, and Tapirang couldn't help but scream:
"Uh huh! Uhhhhhhh!!!"
[Tairiang: 3800LP→0]
After the divine power passed, it was confirmed that Tapiryo's basic score had completely returned to zero. While everyone in the audience was still immersed in the power of the god, Isono, who had a huge heart, said calmly: "The winner has been decided, and Tapiryo has won the contestant's points." The basic points are reset to zero, so the winner of this duel is——"
"Seto Kaiba!"
