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

[Eight Stars]

[Light Attribute/Dragon Race]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2500]

"Compared to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon is ultimately nothing more than a cowering cicada!" Seto Kaiba declared loudly, waving his arm. "Activate the Spell Card—Defense Seal!"

"Forcibly converting Red-Eyes Black Dragon into Attack Mode!!"

"Youcha..." Seto Kaiba's gaze turned icy cold. "Since you just used my monster to hurt me! Then next, I'll let you taste what it's like to be pierced through repeatedly by a monster!!"

"Spell Card Activated—Double Spell!!"

"Discard a Spell Card to copy a Double Attack from your Graveyard!!"

"Send Horus Black Flame Dragon Lv8 from your hand to the Graveyard. This turn, Blue-Eyes White Dragon can attack twice!!"

Seto Kaiba pointed sharply, causing the hem of his wide trench coat to bulge.

"The attack of revenge begins with my own monster!!"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Attack the Minotaur!!"

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

The shattering silver-white death light burned the minotaur to ashes!

"Beep beep beep beep——————"

Cruise control, LP: 2000→700

After defeating a monster, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon did not stop its attack. Instead, it turned its head slightly and swept the dragon breath bursting from its jaws toward the Red-Eyes Black Dragon!

"Continue attacking the Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Destruction Burst Gale Bullet!!"

Seto Kaiba's passionate shouts echoed throughout the hall!

But just as Red-Eyes Black Dragon was about to be attacked, Yuzuru revealed the face-down card he had been waiting for: "Trap Card - Metallize Magic Reflect Armor!"

"Evolve Red-Eyes Black Dragon into Red-Eyes Steel Dragon!!"

Faced with the incredibly powerful beam of light, Red-Eyes Black Dragon roared and, under the effect of the Trap Card, transformed into a mechanical dragon!

Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon

[Eight Stars]

[Dark Attribute/Mechanical Race]

[Attack/Defense: 2800/2400]

You Che said, "Under the effect of the Metallized Magic Reflective Armor, the attack power of the Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon will increase by half the attack power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon! That is, 1500!!"

"In the end, it will be your own monster that is destroyed, Seahorse!"

"Beep beep beep beep————————"

Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon, Attack Power: 2800 → 4300

"Tsk!!" Seto Kaiba's face darkened. His original intention in using Defense Lock was to damage Yuzuriha, but now it seemed to have backfired. "Then I'll activate the Spell Card again—Attack Lock! Turn Red-Eyes Steel Dragon back to Defense Position!!"

"boom!!!!!!!!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the Red-Eyes Black Steel Dragon's body disintegrated and finally shattered.

After two rounds of attacks, both sides' LP was reduced to less than half.

Seto Kaiba plays a face-down card and announces, "Face-down one card, end of turn."

It was Youche's turn again. Looking at the Blue-Eyes White Dragon with its considerable attack power, he felt a little troubled.

However, Seto Kaiba has no cards left in his hand. All he can rely on is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's superior fighting power and that face-down card.

You Che glanced at his hand.

If that combo can be achieved, then Blue-Eyes White Dragon's 3000 attack power will no longer be a problem.

Now, we're just one card away from that combo—Evil Spirit's Evil Suffering!

You Che closed his eyes and called out to the spirit he had saved in his heart. As a white light flashed in his inner world, the tadpole spirit responded to his call.

"Whoosh————————————"

With a flick of his wrist, You Che deftly slammed down the card he had drawn, along with the other two cards in his hand:

"Kaiba! Your Blue-Eyes White Dragon is not invincible!"

"On my turn, Normal Summon—Ice Knight!!"

"As long as this card is on the field, I can Normal Summon one more WATER monster each turn!"

"Come! Cease the evil spirits and suffering!"

"Finally, this card!"

"Magic Card - Multiplication!!!"

Chapter 74 Unlimited Attack Power! The Ice Knight and the Evil Soul Xie Kuzhi Join Forces!

According to the regular live broadcast schedule of the Duel Kingdom Tournament, it should be replaying at this moment.

To the surprise of countless dueling enthusiasts, just as they were watching a recording of a duel between a duelist named Yugi Muto and the national Duel Monster Tournament champion, Haegi Insect, the live stream suddenly switched to a duel between Yugi and Seto Kaiba.

Some viewers even cursed out loud.

"What's going on with the International Illusion Society? I was just reading it and suddenly it was changed?"

"What do you mean? Even if you're a competitor of KC Company, there's no need to dig up that video and play it here again, is there?"

But soon, they discovered some more clues.

Although the duelists in the scene are still Seto Kaiba and Yuzuriha, the duel is no longer taking place at KC Corporation, but at the castle of Duel Kingdom!

This is clearly not the video that countless duelists have been talking about!

Judging from the word "Live" in the upper left corner of the screen, this is actually a duel that is in progress!

At the bottom of the screen, explanatory text scrolls continuously.

The duelists were overjoyed and began to watch the unexpected duel with great interest.

"I see! Seto Kaiba and Yuzuru are fighting for the last spot in the semifinals in this final battle!"

"Wait a minute? There are no hidden rules for the castle arena? I haven't seen enough yet!"

"If you haven't had enough, go back and watch the replay! In Duel Monsters, playing cards is the only true way to play!"

"..."

"What?! Only a few rounds and their base scores are already this low?"

"Blue-Eyes White Dragon truly lives up to its reputation as the strongest monster card. Judging from the current situation, Yuzuriha seems to be at a disadvantage."

"..."

At the competition, through the bond with the card spirit, Youche successfully drew the evil tadpole card - "Evil Soul Evil Suffering Stop"!

Three cards were played in quick succession!

First came the ice knight, its body shimmering with a diamond-like brilliance, followed by a dark red tadpole that, under the effect of the magic card "Proliferation," began to wag its tail and continuously replicate itself...

Ice Knight

【Four stars】

[Water Attribute/Aquarium]

[Attack/Defense: 1300/1200]

[Stop the suffering of evil spirits]

One star

[Water Attribute/Aquarium]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

In just a few seconds, the evil spirit Xie Kuzhi, whose attack and defense were both zero, split into thousands upon thousands of others!

During the Duel Kingdom era, Multiply was not a spell card exclusive to Kuriboh. Its effect was: select one monster on your field with 500 or less ATK and summon countless identical tokens.

In this era, derivatives do not occupy monster slots and cannot be used to launch an all-out attack.

So for most people, this is simply a mysterious magic card.

"What are you doing, Yuzuriha?" Seto Kaiba scoffed. "Even if you summoned a hundred million of these trash, you still couldn't stop the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's onslaught!!"

You Che simply smiled faintly: "Is that so? Take a good look at the field again, Seahorse."

Seto Kaiba raised an eyebrow, looking disdainfully back at the monster area. But when he saw the Ice Knight's attack power, an unprecedented shock made him involuntarily take a half step back!

Ice Knight, Attack Power: ∞

"What?! What?!" Seto Kaiba exclaimed in shock, "Attack power... is infinite?!"

At this moment, even the previously leisurely Pegasus couldn't help but sit up straight!

As the father of Duel Monsters, he was certainly not shocked by Yuzuriha's tactics. When designing the "Multiply" card, he had considered that such a scenario might occur.

He was very surprised because he discovered that in addition to the Armed Dragon, Youche had a new group of card spirits!

Through the Millennium Eye, Pegasus discovered that in the inner world of Youche, there were thousands of dark red tadpoles and a demonic frog!

"You've really given me a lot of surprises, Youche Boy..." Pegasus's eyes gradually revealed fervor. "It seems that I can't let you leave this tournament no matter what. So many Pokémon allow me to conduct countless experiments!"

"If I can control your mind, I can control those card spirits!"

"It seems..."

"I'll be able to see Cynthia again soon!"

Seto Kaiba's eyes widened; the scene before him was clearly beyond his expectations!

Yu Che explained loudly, "The Ice Knight's effect is that this card's attack power increases by 400 times the number of Aqua monsters on my field, and under the effect of multiplication, there are countless Evil Spirits on my field!"

"Therefore, the Ice Knight's attack power will reach infinity!!"
