How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

【Blue Eyes White Dragon】

[Attack power: 3000→3400]

Yuuto specifically chose the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon as his equipment, not just for the 400 attack points it provided.

"I release the Blue-Eyes White Dragon equipped with Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" The White Dragon on the field, together with the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon inside its body, transformed into a ball of light, intertwined and swirling as it flew into the pool of water on the ceiling.

"Blue-Eyes! At this moment, gain new power, wield the wings of a tyrant that destroy everything, and sweep away all enemies before me!"

"Special summons!"

"Blue-Eyes Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Chapter 168 Ultimate Dragon Mage

"Wow! There's actually such a large area down there?"

Mordred, having utterly destroyed the floor, led the Servants from both the Red and Black factions into this empty underground space.

Boom!

Although the surrounding marble pillars mitigated some of the impact upon landing, Mordred's feet still created a sizable crater when they touched the ground. The violent impact and jolt even startled the Lion's Revenge, which she was carrying on her shoulder.

"Huh? Saber, where are we—ugh!"

Awakening from his coma, Shiki Jieli looked around the dimly lit space in a daze. Then, the aftereffects of the jolts he had just experienced rushed over him, causing him to quickly cover his mouth.

Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, he knew that if he vomited on Mordred's shoulder, he would be doomed.

"Ugh, Master, please don't throw up on my shoulder!"

Hearing the ominous sound, Mordred was so startled that he flung Lion Jie Li to the ground, then watched him run to a nearby stone pillar and vomit profusely.

Wu Yi [Qi@Dad Lingqi Liuyi] and the others also used their own methods to land steadily on the ground. Atalanta also woke up at about the same time as Shishi Jie Jie.

The Greater Grail was quite conspicuous here. Although the place where they landed was a little far away, the large sphere that seemed out of place in this underground space was still easily spotted.

Thanks to their superior mobility as Servants, it didn't take them long to get from their landing point to the vicinity of the Greater Grail. As the two people engaged in a duel came into view, Yuwatari's voice reached their ears.

Special Summon! [Blue-Eyes Tyrannosaurus Rex]!

The blue dragon's head is inlaid with a diamond-shaped gem, and its pair of exaggeratedly large wings on its back are completely covered by white light. Two sharp horns that curve inward around its mouth make it look even more ferocious.

Both sides in the duel noticed Mordred and his companions' arrival, but neither had any intention of engaging them in conversation at the moment.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada frowned, feeling that he couldn't quite understand what deck Yuwatari was using.

Ritual, integration, harmony, and connection...

Won't having four summoning methods coexisting cause chaos?

Unaware of what he was thinking, Yuuto picked out the card "Blue-Eyed Sage" from his hand.

"I activate the effect of [Blue-Eyed Sage] in my hand, discard this card from my hand, and send [White Maiden] from my field to the Graveyard to Special Summon [Blue-Eyed Dragon of the Abyss] from my Deck!"

"And at that very moment, the effect of [White Maiden] also activates! When this card is targeted by an effect, I can Special Summon 1 LIGHT Level 1 Tuner Monster or [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from my Graveyard!"

The two effects of the chain activation began to be reversed. Yuwatari first used the effect of [White Maiden] to retrieve the [Blue-Eyed Sage] that he had just discarded, and then summoned the [Blue-Eyed Dragon of the Abyss], which was particularly slender compared to the other white dragons, onto the field.

"Based on the effect of the Special Summoned [Blue-Eyes Dragon of the Abyss], I add 1 [Chaos Form] from my Deck to my hand!"

"Next, I will adjust the star level of the 1-star [Blue-Eyed Priest] and the 8-star [Abyssal Blue-Eyed Dragon] on the field!"

You Du raised his hand, and the man and the dragon on the field transformed into a ring and eight stars respectively, arranged neatly into a stream of light. The blue-eyed white dragon statue in the mourning hall also trembled slightly.

1+8=9

"The souls of the dragons gathered here will awaken the dragons guarding the shrine, and with their hazy forms, they will dance in the sky like elves!"

"See! This is another possibility for blue-eyed eyes!"

"Synchron Summon! Level 9! [Blue-Eyes Sprite Dragon]!"

The blue-eyed white dragon statue inside the mourning hall stopped trembling, and the beautiful white dragon's spirit was born from it. Its pure white, transparent body, carrying the unique hazy feeling of a spirit, landed lightly and silently on the parade ground.

Yuuto pointed to the Blue-Eyes Fairy Dragon that had just landed on the field: "The effect of Blue-Eyes Fairy Dragon is activated! Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 Dragon-Type LIGHT Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck in Defense Position!"

After his voice fell, the Blue-Eyes Dragon split into two more identical figures, and the three spirits intertwined and flew into the pool above.

"The Blue-Eyes' evolution will not stop. The dragon's soul, which has been slumbering here for so long, will open the door to a new evolution for it at this moment! Come and obtain this ultimate power!"

"Appear! Level 12! [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon]!"

The three-headed dragon soul flew out from beneath the water's surface, its body adorned with purple and gold patterns, yet it did not cause a ripple on the calm water.

The dragon's tail behind it is the most solid, with golden patterns coiled on it, making it appear layered like segments. The pair of wings that spread out behind it are like thin gauze, shaking off specks of light as they flutter, giving it a holy and beautiful aura.

"Then, I will activate the Spell Card 'Dragon's Temple' from my hand and send 1 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and 1 'Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon' from my Deck to the Graveyard!"

Having done all this, Yudo drew a card from his hand, held it up, and shouted loudly.

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Ultimate Fusion] activated! I return [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] and [Blue-Eyes Chaos Ultimate Dragon] from my Graveyard as Fusion Materials to my Deck!"

"The fusion requirements are Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon + Chaos Ritual Monster!"

The figures of two dragons flew out from the graveyard of the Yudu Duel Disk and were swept into the huge blue-white vortex behind him.

The vortex of fusion was then tainted by a chaotic power, which affected the ultimate power, causing it to erupt with white lightning that shattered the surrounding ground.

"Ultimate power and chaotic power converge at this moment, and these two supreme forces will open up new possibilities for the future! Let us give a thunderous cheer for its birth! Fusion Summon!"

"Level 12! [Ultimate Dragon Mage]!"

The ever-accelerating vortex gradually dissipated after reaching its limit, revealing the enormous figure of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. A mage holding a staff, dressed in a straitjacket-like outfit, and wearing a helmet with horns resembling those of a demon, stood on its back.

Chapter 169 Girls Fighting Demons

Two 12-star monsters!

Apart from Leticia, this was the first time anyone else had ever seen a 12-star monster, which is the highest level in Yu-Gi-Oh!, and it was a feeling completely different from the information they had received in their minds before.

The two dragons, one real and one illusory, occupied half the height of this vast underground space. Even with their wings folded, their enormous bodies almost filled the field of vision of everyone present.

Yuto had no intention of ending his turn yet. He took out one of his remaining three cards: "Activate the Spell Card [Dragon Revival Rhapsody]!"

"This card can only be activated if you control a Spellcaster monster. You can Special Summon up to 2 Dragon monsters, including Dragon Normal Monsters, from your Graveyard!"

"I Special Summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon from my Graveyard!"

【Blue Eyes White Dragon】

[Attack power: 3000]

Abyssal Blue-Eyes Dragon

[Defense: 2500]

Although this card has the cost of reducing the damage received by the opponent to 0 until the end of the turn, it has no impact on Yuwatari since this is the first turn.

Two dragons resurrected from the graveyard occupied the remaining two monster zones on his field, and a total of five giant dragons of different appearances stood there, giving off an indescribable sense of awe.

Even Siegfried, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but tighten his grip on Balmonk.

Ending the turn like this wouldn't be bad, but since monsters summoned using [Blue-Eyes Dragon] have the cost of being destroyed at the end of the turn, Yuwatari needs to take an extra layer of insurance.

"I'm adjusting the star levels of my 1-star Blue-Eyes Sage and 8-star Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

1+8=9

The only Normal Monster on the field, along with the only Humanoid Monster, flew into the sky, transforming into a halo that merged with the stars.

"The silvery-white radiance will transform into armor of protection. O Azure-Eyed Dragon, let out a roar that shakes the heavens and earth! Synchro Summon!"

"Level 9! [Azure-Eyed Silver Dragon]!"

Its pure white scales and head were covered by silver plates that resembled armor. Its azure eyes shone brightly, and golden spikes pierced from its shoulders and knees. Even its originally silvery-white wings were stained with a dark gray.

The Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon flew out amidst a shower of silver light that fell across the entire monster area, taking the place of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field.

"Activate the monster effect of [Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon]!" Bathed in the silver light emanating from the Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon, Yuuto spoke:

"If this card is Special Summoned, all Dragon monsters on my field cannot be destroyed by card effects or targeted by card effects until the End Phase of the next turn!"

"Finally, I'll set one card face down, and the turn ends!"

Yuuto, having set one of his remaining two cards to the field, preemptively declared before Amakusa Shiro Tokisada could speak: "At this very moment, the effect of [Blue-Eyes Dragon of the Abyss] activates on the field!"

"During the End Phase, I can add one Level 8 or higher Dragon monster from my Deck to my hand! I add [Abyssal White Dragon] to my hand!"

With the last layer of insurance in hand, Yuuto finally felt relieved and spread his hands, indicating to Amakusa Shiro Tokisada that he could begin his turn.

"…It's my turn, draw a card."

Interrupted once by Yutari, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada slowly drew a card from the top of his deck, his expression grave as he scanned back and forth between his hand and the dragons on Yutari's field.

He wasn't naive enough to think that Yudo summoned so many dragons just for show; surely some of the dragons, as well as the face-down card in the back row, must have effects that could hinder him.

After all, even his deck has cards with this effect, so he believes that Yuto's deck must also have a lot of these kinds of cards.

Therefore, it would be best to try using some cards to consume those effects first...

Looking at his hand, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada made his decision: "I will Normal Summon [Salvation Girl Stella] from my hand!"

A young woman in a brownish-red dress calmly walked out from the shadows onto the field, carrying a box full of bottles and jars in one hand and two army green boxes of different sizes in the other.

Stella the Salvation Girl

【4 stars】

[Mage/Light]

[Attack power: 300]

Holy crap, it's a rescue for a girl!

Yudu's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but only for a moment.

After all, relying on the effects of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon and Blue-Eyes Silver Dragon on his field, he doesn't have to worry about his monsters in the graveyard or on the field being banished.

Even if Amakusa Shiro Tokisada chooses to exclude his back row's "True Light" or face down, it doesn't matter. Although it's a bit of a pity, he can activate it directly after face down.
