"So your true purpose in hacking the main computer was this," Kaiba said to Zigfried.
"What are you talking about? I merely gave that card to Leon after obtaining it. Still, isn't this interesting? A card Pegasus and I created together is now driving you into crisis. What an ironic coincidence of fate," Zigfried said with a laugh.
"Hmph. Is this supposed to be revenge? How boring. It's only a prototype. Even if you try to play clever tricks, it's a waste of effort."
"You were the one who allowed this duel to continue. But ending it here would also be acceptable," Zigfried said.
"When I say something, I mean it. The duel continues!"
"I wonder how long you can keep acting so composed. No matter what, you cannot escape the trap I have set," Zigfried thought.
"This is a forbidden card? How could that be? My brother gave this card to me," Leon said.
"You don't need to worry about that, Leon. The card has appeared on the field, which means it has been accepted as an official card. Now then, let everyone witness this card's power!" Zigfried said.
"Zigfried, do you really think this card will work on me?" Kisaragi asked.
"What?!"
"Come on, Leon. Continue the duel!" Kisaragi said.
"Leon, in order to win, you must use any means necessary. Victory is always the most important thing, no matter when! This is for the Schroeder family too. Mother will surely be pleased!" Zigfried said.
"But, Brother… do you actually not believe in me? Is that why you used this method?"
"I only wanted to make your victory more certain. You have already answered my expectations splendidly. Now continue the duel, Leon!" Zigfried said.
"For my brother's sake, I'm willing to do anything. But I don't want to use something like this!"
"I have to find a way to destroy Golden Castle of Stromberg!"
"I end my turn!"
Cards in hand: 4
"Leon, you want to destroy Golden Castle of Stromberg? Unfortunately, you can only obey me. Golden Castle of Stromberg cannot be destroyed by any Spell, Trap, or monster effect!" Zigfried said.
"How is that possible? The text on that card should be…" Grandpa Solomon said.
"Did he even alter the card text?" Professor Hopkins said.
"You bastard!"
"Hmph. Kaiba, the true revenge drama begins now."
After Zigfried spoke, Golden Castle of Stromberg emitted a glow. But after flashing once, nothing happened.
"What is going on? Leon used that card, so the card should have triggered the—" Zigfried said.
"You mean the virus?" Kaiba said.
"You knew?"
"Hmph. I investigated all of your petty tricks."
As Kaiba spoke, three people appeared behind them.
"Are those Doma's Three Swordsmen?" Yugi said.
"Raphael? Valon?" Joey said in surprise.
"It's been a while, nameless Pharaoh," Raphael said.
"Joey, why haven't you gone back to keep Mai company yet? Careful, or I might steal her from you," Valon said.
"So these are the people who investigated my identity?" Zigfried said.
"Exactly. We were all looking for the source of the virus, but we had no leads. So I simply opened a separate new duel system for your duel and your brother's duel. That way, even if you used the virus to attack KaibaCorp, the only thing I would lose would be this newly built system. A trivial loss, not even worth mentioning," Kaiba said with a laugh.
"Kaiba, you bastard. But as long as Leon defeats Aoi Kisaragi, KaibaCorp will still be affected. When that happens, heh heh heh…"
"You want him to defeat me? Then let's see whether he can actually do it!" Kisaragi said.
"My turn. Draw!"
"At this moment, Golden Castle of Stromberg's effect activates!"
As Zigfried spoke, Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon on Kisaragi's field began moving on their own, launching attacks at Leon's monsters.
"Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon moved by themselves!"
But the attacks were reflected back, destroying both Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon.
Kisaragi LP: 4000 → 1250
"Kisaragi's monsters were wiped out, and her Life Points dropped massively too," Joey said.
"How could this…" Leon said.
"When Golden Castle of Stromberg is on the field, battle is forced during both players' turns. And when the opponent's monster attacks, half of that monster's ATK becomes damage to the opponent, and that monster is destroyed!" Zigfried said.
"How can it have an effect like that?!"
"Then it should have an equally heavy risk set on it!" Grandpa Solomon said.
"Heh heh heh!"
Kisaragi laughed.
"What's wrong with Kisaragi?" Everyone watching from above was confused.
"You were given the chance to alter a card, and you still botched it. You actually left me such a huge loophole, Zigfried," Kisaragi said.
"What do you mean?"
"Now watch how I break your modified Golden Castle of Stromberg," Kisaragi said.
"Golden Castle of Stromberg can't be destroyed by Spell, Trap, or monster effects. How is Kisaragi going to break it?" Joey said.
"Actually, I have two ways to deal with this card. The first is to use a new Field Spell Card to push Golden Castle of Stromberg off the field!" Kisaragi said.
"Of course. Because of the rules, using that method would naturally send Golden Castle of Stromberg to the Graveyard," Yugi said.
"Unfortunately, I don't have a Field Spell Card in my hand right now. Therefore…"
Kisaragi took out a card and inserted it into her Duel Disk.
"I activate the Spell Card Monster Reborn from my hand. I Special Summon Arkbrave Dragon from my Graveyard!"
Arkbrave Dragon
ATK 2400 / DEF 2000
"I activate Arkbrave Dragon's effect. When this card is Special Summoned from the Graveyard, I can banish all face-up Spell and Trap Cards my opponent controls. This card gains 200 ATK and DEF for each card banished by this effect."
"But Golden Castle of Stromberg cannot be targeted by effects, and it cannot be destroyed by effects!" Zigfried objected.
"I'm banishing this card, not destroying it. And Arkbrave Dragon's banishing effect does not target. Therefore, Golden Castle of Stromberg will be banished by Arkbrave Dragon's effect!"
"That's right. Banishing and destruction are two different concepts. That method works!" Yugi said.
"What?!"
Zigfried could only watch as his golden castle gradually vanished.
"If I were you, I would have changed this card's effect to 'This card cannot leave the field by any effect, and when it is activated, neither player can use another Field Spell Card.' Do you understand now?" Kisaragi said.
"Heh heh heh. So you already knew the virus card was this one. That's why you sent Arkbrave Dragon to the Graveyard ahead of time, Kisaragi," Kaiba said.
"That was amazing, Big Sis Kisaragi!" Leon said.
