Yu-Gi-Oh!: This is the real duel!

"This... how is this possible?!" Jonouchi exclaimed in shock through the blue, pyramidal light screen. "Even God Cards couldn't possibly be enhanced by Trap Cards!"

Having just finished setting everything up, Kaiba Keihei returned to the three of them, explaining with a serious expression, "My brother's Blue-Eyes Dragon has what is arguably the strongest resistance of all Duel Monsters..."

"Its ability is not to nullify all magical traps that would affect itself, but rather to selectively accept or destroy any effect!"

"In other words, the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon can not only ignore the opponent's traps, but also fully enjoy all the enhancements its own side has received!!"

"What?!" Anzu, who now had some understanding of duels, exclaimed incredulously, "How can a monster of this level exist?!"

Recalling the scenes that unfolded just yesterday, Kaiba Keihei clenched his fists and shook his head, saying, "I don't understand about the derivative cards either, but that's just how it is!"

"My brother has been engaged in over a hundred intense duels since last night until today!!"

"And in every single one of these duels, the opponent was using a Dragon deck!!"

"This Blue-Eyes Light Dragon appeared after defeating countless dragon monsters and absorbing their power!!"

The people inside the city were all utterly astonished.

Hundreds of duels in one night?!

How could Seto Kaiba's stamina be so terrifying?!

Could it be that the incredibly mysterious pyramid is behind all of this?!

At this point, Wang Yang, who had lost the battle, set up a face-down card to end the turn.

In order to defeat Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, Yugi and Yuuki overdrafted a large amount of LP to summon Dark Magician. If Yugi cannot destroy Blue-Eyes Light Dragon in the next turn, then Kaiba, who has a large number of hand cards, will launch a fatal counterattack!

Yuzuru drew a card from the Duel Disk, his face slightly sweaty as he quickly began to think.

Armed Dragon and Dark Magician, who are the main fighting forces, have been defeated, and the disruption, which mainly relies on special effects, cannot have any effect on Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!

Is it...

Is there absolutely no way to stop all of this?!

Suddenly, Youche turned his gaze to the trap card that sealed the god—Pyramid of Light!

If this card can be destroyed, then the sealed god will return from another dimension!

By relying on the rule-breaking power of the Winged Dragon of Ra, it would be easy to crush that terrifyingly powerful Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!

"My turn! Draw a card!!" Yu Che shouted, "Activate the Spell Card - Offering to the Dead, discard one card from my hand, and destroy Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!!"

"roar----------------"

Countless bandages shot out from the dark shadows, but the Blue-Eyed Light Dragon roared and shattered them all!

Seto Kaiba sneered, "Still resorting to such tricks? I've already said that this level of destruction is utterly meaningless to Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!!"

Before he could finish speaking, three Disruptors jumped out of the deck and burrowed into Yuche's hand. Yuche replied, "I know, so activating the Offering to the Dead is just to send the Disruptor Spell to the graveyard!!"

"By utilizing the effect of Disruption Spell, I can add one Disruption Yellow, one Disruption Green, and one Disruption Black from my deck to my hand!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Disrupt Riding!!"

"Send three Disruptor Monsters from your hand to the Graveyard!!"

"Special Summon from hand and Deck in Defense Position: Y. Dragon Head, Z. Metal Tracks, and W. Catapult Wings!!"

"Attack signal summons—X˙ Boss Cannon!!"

"Ban the three monsters from the Duel and Summon them from the Extra Deck!!"

"XYZ·Dragon Cannon!!!"

The three disruptive monsters leaped into the Alliance Machine and swiftly combined, golden electricity surging from their different colored metal armors. Finally, a muffled thud accompanied by a cloud of dust erupted, and the highly destructive combined monster—XYZ˙Dragon Cannon—arrived on the battlefield!

【XYZ˙Divine Dragon Cannon】

[Eight Stars]

[Light Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/2600]

"Heh~ You're really stubborn!" Seto Kaiba sneered. "I've already said, Blue-Eyes Dragon won't be affected by these tricks at all. Even if you throw all your cards away, you won't be able to hurt it in the slightest!!"

Despite this, Yuzuru resolutely activated the power of XYZ: Dragon Cannon. He threw a card into the graveyard and declared loudly, "No, Kaiba! What I'm going to destroy isn't Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, but that Trap Card—Pyramid of Light!!"

Wang Yu, standing to the side, seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "That's right! As long as the Pyramid of Light is destroyed, the God Cards will return to the battlefield! With the power of the three Egyptian God cards, Blue-Eyes Dragon will no longer be an invincible force!!"

"boom--------------"

The XYZ˙ Divine Dragon Cannon's muzzle contracted and expanded as it spun, blasting the fiery cannonball into the light screen above that enveloped the entire battlefield!

"Tsk!" Seto Kaiba's eyes turned cold. "Then I'll cast this last face-down card on your ridiculous monster!!"

"Counter Trap Card - Heavenly Punishment!!"

"Discard one card from your hand to negate and destroy the effect of XYZ˙Dragon Cannon!!"

"At the same time, since the card I discarded was a Dragon-type monster, Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's combat power will increase by another 300, reaching 6000!!"

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!"

Before the cannon fire could hit the Pyramid of Light, lightning from the sky shattered the XYZ˙ Divine Dragon Cannon into pieces!

Looking at the magic card in his hand that he originally intended to use to revive Ra Winged Dragon, Yuzuru could only grit his teeth and give it to the XYZ˙Dragon Cannon that had just been destroyed.

"Spell Card activated—Monster Resurrection!!"

"Resurrect XYZ˙Dragon Cannon from the graveyard, then discard one card from your hand to destroy the Pyramid of Light!!"

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the reassembled XYZ Dragon Cannon. Seto Kaiba had used up all his face cards. Even if Obelisk the Tormentor couldn't destroy Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, he could still defeat Seto Kaiba by increasing its attack power to infinity.

In other words, when the Pyramid of Light is destroyed and the God Cards return, this duel will be completely over!

At this moment, even Seto Kaiba, who had just been confident of victory, suddenly changed his expression. He seemed to be able to foresee the defeat he was about to face.

But just as the heavy artillery, billowing with smoke, bombarded the trap card, a scene that astonished everyone unfolded!

"Bang!"

After being destroyed, the card did not disappear immediately, but instead suddenly lit up with an incredibly bright light and transformed into a new form!

Originally a trap card, it transformed into a magic card in the blinding light, and the blue pyramids that enveloped the entire Domino City and the battlefield suddenly lit up, changing from an eerie crystal blue to an extremely bright white that was impossible to look at directly!

This sudden scene caused everyone in Domino City to instinctively close their eyes in an attempt to avoid the overwhelming blindness; some even experienced temporary blindness!

Under that terrifying light, every shadow in the vast city was swept away, and after this shocking white light lasted for more than ten seconds, the Pyramid of Light above Domino City and the Duel Arena completely changed from a bright blue to a magnificent but eerie golden-white!

"What on earth happened?!"

"Ah! I almost went blind..."

The members of the group, including Jonouchi, gasped in shock as they came to their senses. But when they opened their eyes, they were met with a scene that sent chills down their spines.

The mummy that had mysteriously disappeared from the museum reappeared beside Seto Kaiba, wearing the equally missing Pyramid of Light pendant. One by one, the bandages snapped, and countless swirling black wisps transformed it from a shriveled corpse into a terrifying, monstrous jackal-headed demon!

"Hush...huh..."

The jackal head, which was three meters tall, was breathing heavily, like a giant dragon that had been frozen for thousands of years and had just awakened. It opened its eyes, which shone with an eerie light, and looked around. Everyone who was looked at by it felt a chill run down their spine and their hair stood on end.

"Pharaoh, we've finally met..."

"I have been asleep for countless years, waiting for the prophecy to be fulfilled..."

Every word was delivered in a strange, stiff tone; the lifeless tone was as cold and gloomy as a rotting corpse.

prophecy?!

How exactly did this prophecy come true?!

Everyone present was completely bewildered.

Seeing the situation unfolding so drastically differently from the plot, You Che's expression turned extremely grave.

At this moment, the Pyramid of Light, which should have been a trap card, remained on the battlefield as a spell card, constantly emitting a bright golden-white light. The effect of XYZ's Dragon Cannon had not released the God Card; instead, all the cards on the field, including Seto Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, were sent to the graveyard.

"At some point in the future, the Pyramid of Light will reappear in the world. At that time, taking advantage of the opportunity of God's seclusion, the King of Destruction will awaken from chaos and sweep away the entire world with the light that purifies everything..."

Is the prophecy not as simple as it seems on the surface?

The light that purifies everything may refer not only to disasters that harm the world, but also to purifying everything in a duel.

If trap cards are darkness and spell cards are light, then the process of transforming a trap card into a spell card is what is called "chaos".

The overwhelming pressure made Youche feel suffocated, even though he had gained the power of Gudu. He had no time to guess the meaning of the prophecy, but he was certain that it was the destruction just now that induced the appearance of this jackal-headed death god named "Anubis"!

Countless wisps of black energy emanated from Seto Kaiba's body and gradually converged towards Anubis. After fully regaining consciousness, Seto Kaiba stared in horror at the terrifying monster beside him: "What, what is this?!"

Anubis glanced coldly to the side, then suddenly swung his arm, sending Seto Kaiba flying.

The nearly two-meter-tall Seto Kaiba was as light as a toy in front of this monster. His back slammed hard against the golden-white pyramid barrier of light, and after spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, he completely fainted.

"Brother!!" Kaiba Keihei shouted anxiously, and Jonouchi and Honda quickly grabbed him and held him tightly by their sides.

"Seahorse!!" Wang Yang stared angrily at the jackal-headed creature. "You're the one who orchestrated all of this, aren't you?!"

"The strange phenomena in Domino City, and Seto Kaiba's odd behavior these past few days, are all orchestrated by you behind the scenes!!"

"What exactly is your purpose?!"

Anubis's tone remained frighteningly somber as he spoke slowly, almost in a whisper:

"Of course, I will bury you completely, and make the whole world pay for it, Pharaoh..."

"The suffering you have brought has haunted us for thousands of years..."

"Today is the day of thorough reckoning and trial..."

As soon as the words were spoken, two ancient monsters, one with a human face and the other with a beast face and the other with a human face, emerged from the light emanating from the Pyramid of Light and were summoned to the battlefield.

At the same time, screams and cries of terror echoed from the streets of Domino City below the high-rise building. Kaiba Keihei and the others looked up and saw terrifying monsters awakening from the earth and beginning their rampage of attack and destruction!

Chapter 212 The King's Darkness! The Shattered Pyramid of Light!

"roar--------------"

A series of shrill and furious roars echoed through the streets of Domino City as ferocious undead monsters burst from the ground and began to wreak havoc and destroy the entire city!

At first, many people thought the monsters were just simple virtual projections, but when the zombies and mummies rushed in front of them, they realized that these were actually semi-physical monsters!

"Oh no! Someone's already under attack! Quick, think of something, Keihei!!" Jonouchi shouted anxiously. His younger sister, Shizuka, hadn't returned to their parents since the Duel City Tournament, and now that Domino City was in crisis, he was extremely worried about Shizuka's safety.
