"My turn, draw!"
It was now Jaden Yuki's turn.
The moment he drew a card from his deck, Yubel didn't hesitate to keep the pressure on with their trap effect.
"I activate the effect of [Obliterate!!!] once more!" Yubel declared with a wave of their hand. The trap card beside them erupted in a blinding light. "By sending one [Left Leg of the Forbidden One] from the Deck to the Graveyard, I return one monster on the field to its owner's hand!"
As another piece of [The Forbidden One] hit the grave, Yubel pointed a slender finger at the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] on Kaibaman's field and smiled. "I'm sending your Blue-Eyes back to your hand again."
"Ugh..." Kaibaman's face twisted in frustration. He could only watch helplessly as his majestic dragon dissolved into a pillar of light and returned to his hand.
Now, Kaibaman's field was left with only [The King of D.], [Dragon Spirit of White], and [Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon].
"How's that? The pressure has eased up quite a bit, hasn't it?" Yubel looked toward Jaden and smiled.
Jaden glanced at Yubel, offering a faint smile but remaining silent.
Watching the two exchange looks from a distance, Ash Blossom couldn't help but feel moved.
"Even though these two have never dueled as a pair before, their coordination has reached a level of near-perfection..."
"So strong... they're far too strong."
"Is there anyone left in this world who can match their union?" Ash Blossom murmured in awe.
"My turn continues," Jaden said, scanning the cards remaining on his opponent's field.
Three monsters and one face-down card.
Since Kaibaman hadn't used that face-down to negate the effect of sending Blue-Eyes back to the hand, Jaden could conclude it wasn't a counter-effect card.
In that case...
Jaden looked at the cards in his hand. It seemed he could proceed with his play without worry.
"I activate the Spell card, [Fusion Recovery]!"
"I add one [Polymerization] and one Fusion Material monster used for a Fusion Summon from my Graveyard to my hand!"
Jaden revealed the card, and two cards immediately ejected from the Graveyard slot of his Duel Disk: [Polymerization] and [Liquid Soldier].
"Liquid Soldier was used as material for Sunrise earlier, so it can be recovered by [Fusion Recovery]," Ghost Ogre noted with a nod. Then, looking puzzled, she asked, "But thanks to Sunrise's effect, the Supreme King should already have [Miracle Fusion] in his hand, right?"
"Miracle Fusion allows you to fuse by banishing monsters from the grave. Why go through all the trouble of adding them back to the hand?"
"Dummy," Ash Blossom snapped, glaring at Ghost Ogre. "Liquid Soldier isn't just a monster to be used as Fusion Material!"
"Huh?" Ghost Ogre looked utterly confused.
Ash Blossom sighed, pressing a hand to her forehead as she looked at Ghost Ogre with disappointment. "Your dueling level is really something else..."
"When Liquid Soldier is Normal Summoned, it can target one Level 4 or lower HERO monster in the Graveyard and Special Summon it to the field."
Jaden held up his Liquid Soldier and shouted, "I choose to Special Summon [Vision HERO Vyon] from my Graveyard!"
A streak of azure light flashed across the field. A moment later, both Liquid Soldier and Vyon stood ready on Jaden's side.
"It's a shame that since he used Liquid Soldier's first effect, he won't be able to use the effect to draw cards after using it as Fusion Material this turn," Ash Blossom added with a hint of regret.
"Next, when [Vision HERO Vyon] is Normal or Special Summoned, I can send one HERO monster from my Deck to the Graveyard."
Jaden opened his deck slot and swiftly selected a card. "I send [Destiny HERO - Malicious] to the Graveyard!"
Jaden continued, "Furthermore, I activate Vyon's effect! By banishing [Vision HERO Increase] from my Graveyard, I add a second [Polymerization] from my Deck to my hand!"
Jaden drew the second copy of the fusion spell from his deck.
"Two copies of Polymerization... what is he trying to fuse now?" Ash Blossom swallowed hard, a thought suddenly occurring to her. "Wait, is it [Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer]?"
"Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer only needs one Destiny HERO and one Level 6 or higher HERO monster to be easily summoned."
However...
The only HERO monsters Jaden had on the field that were Level 6 or higher were [Masked HERO Dark Law] and [Elemental HERO Sunrise].
Surely Jaden didn't plan to use those two as Fusion Materials?
"Next, I activate my first [Polymerization]!"
Jaden revealed the card. "I fuse [Elemental HERO Blazeman] in my hand with [Vision HERO Vyon] and [Elemental HERO Liquid Soldier] on my field!"
"Triple Fusion!"
"Come forth! [Vision HERO Trinity]!"
Blazeman appeared between Liquid Soldier and Vyon. The three heroes leapt into the air, their bodies instantly merging within a massive swirling vortex.
As the vortex dissipated, a hero clad in brilliant crimson armor crashed onto Jaden's field.
[Vision HERO Trinity]
[Level 8]
[Warrior-Type]
[ATK: 2500 / DEF: 2000]
"Vision HERO Trinity requires three HERO monsters to be fused," Jaden announced loudly. "And during the turn he is Fusion Summoned, his Attack Points become double his original amount!"
"Double?!" Kaibaman's face went pale.
[Vision HERO Trinity]
[ATK: 2500 → 5000]
"Furthermore, Trinity can attack three times during the same Battle Phase!"
"Three attacks? That means..." Kaibaman looked at the monsters on his field.
[Dragon Spirit of White] (ATK: 2500)
[Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon] (ATK: 2500)
[The King of D.] (ATK: 1200)
If this one monster attacked them all, he would take eight thousand eight hundred points of damage!
He would be finished in a single turn!
At this rate, he wouldn't even last long enough for Exodia to be summoned. He was going to lose!
"You've got to be kidding me! How can such a ridiculous monster exist?!"
"Don't think you can crush me that easily!" Kaibaman roared. "I activate the effect of [Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon]!"
"When my opponent activates a spell, trap, or monster effect, I can return this card to my hand to Special Summon one Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Deck!"
"And [Dragon Spirit of White] can also activate its effect while my opponent controls a monster! By tributing this card, I Special Summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand!"
"Come forth! My pride! My soul!"
ROAR!!!
The two dragons vanished into light, only to be replaced by two magnificent, silver-white dragons!
Blue-Eyes White Dragon had returned once more!
"Attack Position?" Ash Blossom blinked in surprise at the way the two dragons were summoned.
Did Kaibaman's pride forbid him from putting his dragons in Defense Position? Even in such a dire disadvantage, he insisted on staying on the offensive...
"Truly a persistent ghost..." Yubel muttered, unable to resist a jab as the two dragons reappeared. "But even if you keep this up, the outcome remains the same, doesn't it?"
After all, Jaden didn't just have Trinity on the field. Sunrise and Dark Law were still there.
Unless that face-down card was hiding something tricky.
Yubel's eyes narrowed.
"Hahahaha! As long as Blue-Eyes White Dragon is on the field, I will not lose!" Kaibaman burst into boisterous laughter.
It was as if the mere presence of his dragons guaranteed him victory.
"I activate my face-down!" Kaibaman shouted with a flourish. "Trap card! [Destined Rivals]!"
"This card can be activated while I control a Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"
"Until the end of this turn, the effects of all face-up monsters currently on my opponent's field are negated!"
"Indomitable! Unbeatable! Invincible!"
Under Kaibaman's roar, the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons let out a world-shaking cry in unison.
"Crush! Card Destruction! Laughter!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
RUMBLE!
The deafening sound instantly washed over Jaden and Yubel's monsters.
Under the staggering pressure, the heroes on the fieldand even Yubelfelt a terrifying sense of oppression.
The HERO monsters and Yubel were forced back several steps, staring in shock at the continuously roaring white dragons.
"Our power... it's being completely suppressed?"
"How is this possible... do these two Blue-Eyes really possess such terrifying power?" Yubel's face turned pale as they watched the dragons roar in a trance.
In the corners of the field, all the duel spirits huddled together, trembling in fear.
Out of everyone present, only Jaden Yuki remained unfazed.
His dark golden eyes watched the dragons coldly as they unleashed their overwhelming might.
