Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

However, since no new chain can be inserted during the "forced termination" effect processing, this effect is blocked, forcing Mashiro Kaiba to manually return the card.

And there is only one purpose to doing this.

"Activate 'Changing Clothes' again, Fusion Summoning 'Azure River Dragon Girl' and 'Distillery Dragon Girl' on the field, then Fusion Summon 'Radiant Dragon Girl' again. Set 2 cards, and during the End Phase, activate the effect of 'Ancient White Stone' sent to the Graveyard, Special Summoning 1 'Blue-Eyes' monster from your Deck. Appear, 'Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon'!"

"Blue-Eyes Bomber, Level 8/Light/Dragon" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 0"

A roar like an airplane engine filled the air as the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," made of mechanical parts, flew onto the battlefield.

"As long as this card is on the field, none of my other cards will be destroyed by my opponent's effects. My turn is over."

"They even summoned a trump card that guarantees the field won't be wiped out by a lightning strike. That's really troublesome. My turn, draw!"

Having lost "Sin World", Truth can no longer use its effect to search for "Sin" monsters, and even if he did, he doesn't intend to use it.

As he drew cards from his deck, increasing his hand to five, Mashiro Kaiba said, "You'll face more than just this. During your Standby Phase, activate the effect of 'Radiant Dragon Girl'!"

[You can activate this effect during either player's Standby Phase. Special Summon 1 Level 9 or lower "Half-Dragon Maid" monster from your hand or Graveyard.]

Special Summon "Half-Dragon Maid - Bedchamber Dragon Girl" from the Graveyard in Defense Position.

A dragon maid in a black maid outfit appears, responsible for cleaning the master's bedroom, followed by a girl with fiery red hair.

"The effect of 'Dormitory Dragon Girl' searches for Spell/Trap cards, then the effect of 'Dragon Girl Butler' targets 'Dormitory Dragon Girl' and Special Summons 'Distillery Dragon Girl' in Defense Position, which has a lower Level than 'Dormitory Dragon Girl'. Then add 'Skywind Dragon Girl' from your Deck to your hand and discard it."

“During the next turn after ‘Arclight Valiant Dragon’ is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 other Level 7 or 8 Dragon-Type monster from your Graveyard.”

"Rise, 'Half-Dragon Maid - Heavenly Wind Dragon Girl'!"

"Half-Dragon Maid - Heavenly Wind Dragon Girl, Level 8/Wind/Dragon" "ATK: 2700/DEF: 1700"

A gentle breeze stirred, creating a tornado. A verdant female dragon emerged from the wind, stretching her body.

At this point, the last square in Kaiba Mashiro's main monster area was occupied, and the completed formation was even more impressive than the one he had just made not long ago.

This might seem disgusting to the opponents, but nothing is more reassuring to the teammates.

"Half-Dragon Maid" has excellent sustain, making it a great deck for burst damage and mid-game play. If Kaiba Mashiro successfully snowballs his lead, his chances of winning will only increase.

In other words, time is on our side... probably.

As Yu Xi thought this, it seemed that Zhen Shi had already considered how to act.

"Except for 'Dark Dragon Collapse Star Serpent' in the Graveyard, Special Summon 'Radiant White Dragon Tyrannosaurus' from your hand, then Normal Summon 'Bullet Caliber Dragon'."

"Shotgun Caliber Dragon, Level 4/Dark/Dragon/Tuner" "ATK: 1700/DEF: 100"

The card was photographed, and a mechanical dragon, its body made up of individual batteries, emerged from the card.

"The 4-star adjustments, and the 4-star non-adjustments..."

Upon seeing the two monsters that had been summoned to the field, Yuki suddenly realized something: "Wait, could it be...!"

"It's that question mark, Yuki. In this situation, this card would be more appropriate."

As Shiki raised his arm, the "Spherical Dragon" transformed into four star rings that passed through the body of the "Radiant White Dragon," guiding in dazzling starlight.

"A 4-star 'Shooting Dragon' is being upgraded against a 4-star 'Radiant White Dragon'."

4 stars + 4 stars = 8 stars!

"Behold those wings guided by the great winds! Synchro Summon, Level 8, 'Stardust Dragon'!"

"Stardust Dragon, Level 8/Wind/Dragon/Synchro" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000"

Amidst the blazing light of harmony, specks of stardust fall, and a silvery-white star dragon descends upon this place.

Chapter 213 Attack on Titan

"Stardust Dragon...!"

This was Izayoi Hoshi's ace, a former top-tier dueling guard in Dawn City. He was defeated by Makoto in an encounter five years ago and his weapon was taken away, and he has not been able to retrieve it since.

To say whether You Xi was mentally prepared for this scene would be yes. Even so, seeing it with her own eyes still left her feeling shocked.

The reason for this shock is not the actual use of this card, but "Stardust Dragon" itself.

It's gentle and comfortable, like being surrounded by a soft breeze, yet you can feel the powerful energy hidden within. Even when controlled by the villain, its true nature remains undeniable.

If I had to put it into words, Yuki's feelings at this moment were probably similar to those of Jaden when he first encountered "Stardust Dragon".

And there is a special kind of emotion.

However, now is not the time to be happy about seeing the real "Stardust Dragon".

"Damn it! It's that guy again!"

Upon seeing "Stardust Dragon," Mashiro Kaiba's expression changed. She had already suffered at the hands of this monster in their previous duel.

Although it looked different back then.

"It's my turn now. The effect of 'Ultra-Chaotic Dark Magician' has ended, so I can activate my monster effects. 'Stardust Dragon' has the same effect as 'Sinful Stardust Dragon,' meaning that unless you have a 'Breakthrough Skill' or 'Divine Announcement' Trap Card in your Set, 'Radiant Dragoness's' power is essentially sealed away."

The author states, "The effect of 'Radiant White Dragon: Wrath of the Primal Wyvern' adds 'Dark Dragon Collapse Star Serpent' from your Deck to your hand. You should have 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' in your Graveyard, right? Banish that monster card and Special Summon 'Abyssal Beast Sarondra' from your hand."

"Saron the Abyss Beast, Level 6/Dark/Dragon" "ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000"

"Ah! My blue eye!"

Ignoring the loli's cries of despair, it devoured the Dragon Soul of Light, and a new "Abyssal Beast" slowly appeared.

Then, in the next moment, it shattered and became food of a higher level.

"Release 'Sarondra' and revive 'Abyssal Dragon: Crimson Dragon' in the Graveyard in Attack Position. If 'Sarondra' is sent from the field to the Graveyard, send 'Abyssal Beast' monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard. Then activate the effect of 'Crimson Dragon' to place the second 'Rebrand' from your Deck face-up to the back row, banish 'Radiant White Dragon' from the Graveyard, and Special Summon 'Dark Dragon' in Defense Position."

Seeing that Shiro Kaiba didn't react at all, Makoto immediately understood what was going on and became less hesitant in his actions.

"The effect of 'Re-brand' returns 'Radiant White Dragon' to the Deck, and you draw 1 card. Looks like your face-down cards weren't all that great after all. Now, let's activate the Spell Card: 'Beginning of the End'."

【Beginning of the End (Normal Spell): If you have 7 or more DARK monsters in your Graveyard, you can banish 5 of them to activate this effect. Draw 3 cards from your Deck.】

"I currently have 5 DARK 'Abyssal Beasts', 3 'Sin' monsters, and 'Dragon's Lament of the Underworld' in my Graveyard, for a total of 8 DARK monsters. Banish 5 of them and draw 3 cards."

The strongest draw card for the DARK attribute was played, followed by another card that greatly enhanced its power.

"Chain-Activated Quick-Play Spell: 'Continuous Spell'! Discard all cards in your hand. This card's effect becomes the same as 'Beginning of the End,' allowing you to draw 3 more cards, for a total of 6 cards."

"Next, cast a field spell: Earthbinding Prison."

As the real sound fades, the environment abruptly changes.

A ghost emerged from the ground and hovered around the group. At the same time, a giant bone claw burst from the ground and seized the "Dragon Girl Butler".

"This is!"

When “Earthbound Prison” is activated, you can target 1 monster on your opponent’s field. As long as this card is on the field, that monster’s effects are negated.

"Then, as long as 'Earthbound Prison' is on the field, except for one Normal Summon, I can Summon an 'Earthbound' monster. I will Tribute 'Dark Dragon' and 'Cruel Dragon' to Tribute Summon 'Earthbound God Kapak Apoo'!!"

"Earthbound God Kapak Apoo, Level 10/Dark/Demon" "ATK: 3000/DEF: 2500"

No longer limiting its own power, the moment the card was struck on the Duel Disk, the image of a giant descended from the sky onto the earth.

Yuki, Mashiro Kaiba, and Makoto were trapped in the center of the geoglyph. An ominous and terrifying feeling erupted violently from Makoto, stirring up a powerful storm.

In the midst of the storm, a black giant with azure patterns etched on its body emerged from the earth.

Standing tens of meters tall, it surpasses most of the buildings on the island. Seeing such a terrifying monster at such close range would undoubtedly send an indescribable chill and terror through one's very soul.

Fortunately, neither Yuuki nor Mashiro Kaiba had encountered "Earthbound Gods" before, and they had dealt with many monsters even stronger than them, so they were not so easily overwhelmed.

What's even more noteworthy than that is the real person.

From the moment the "Earthbound God" is summoned, the sense of danger emanating from him becomes even stronger.

"You've all seen the 'Earthbound Gods' before, so I probably don't need to repeat their resistances and shared effects. Discard 1 card from your hand as Cost to activate the Equip Spell: 'Twin Blades of Light - Thunderstrike.' Equip it to 'Kappa Apoo,' reducing its ATK by 500. In exchange, you can attack twice per turn—you only have 1500 Life Points left, Yuuki. Let's start with you. Let's begin the Battle Phase."

"Don't even think about laying a hand on Yuki in front of me!"

The real target is Yuki, who has nothing left on the field except "Gandora X", and they want to "eliminate" him first.

But Mashiro Kaiba wouldn't allow that to happen.

"At the start of your Battle Phase, activate the effect of 'Dormitory Dragon Girl'! Return it to your hand, and Special Summon 'Half-Dragon Maid - Azure River Dragon Girl' from your Graveyard in Defense Position."

Without her own dragon form, the "Dormitory Dragon Girl" skillfully transforms, and Little Blue, in her giant dragon form, leaps out in response.

Upon seeing this, the head maid of the "half-dragon maids" couldn't help but adjust her glasses.

"At that moment, because the other Dragon-Type monsters on my field returned to my hand, the effect of 'Dragon Butler' activated! Destroy 1 monster on your opponent's field. The one I'm destroying is 'Earthbound God Kapak Apoo'!"

"Even if it's activated, it won't make a difference."

Truth said, "Have you forgotten? My 'Earthbound Prison' on the field is designed to activate the effect of 'Dragon Girl Butler,' and its effect has been negated."

"I think you're the naive one! Do you think such petty tricks will work on me? Trap Card activated: 'Subspace Matter Transfer Device'!"

When Masashi Kaiba pressed the button, the backboard card immediately stood up.

A futuristic machine emerged from within.

"Based on this card's effect, banish 'Dragon Girl Butler' from the game until the end of this turn!"

The machine emitted rainbow-colored light, enveloping the "Dragon Girl Butler" who was bound by bone claws, and temporarily teleported her to another dimension.

Seeing this, Shiro exclaimed in realization, "So that's your strategy! 'Earthbound Prison' works similarly to 'Skill Drain'—the effect activates as soon as the monster leaves the field. A good idea, but I've thought of something a step deeper. Chain-activate the Quick-Play Spell: 'Armed Regeneration'! Equip 'Equip Earthbound God' with the 'Dark Dragon Claw' from the Graveyard!"

As the card was inserted into the Duel Disk, "Earthbound God" was immediately covered with a dark dragon claw glove on its huge hand, and its aura rose once again.

"This card can only be equipped to DARK monsters. The equipped monster gains 600 ATK and cannot be destroyed by the opponent's card effects."

Truth said, "Therefore, your 'Dragon Girl Butler' effect is useless against 'Capak Apoo'."

"Gah! You even guessed that?"
