Heroic Spirit Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Author: Heroic Spirit Deck in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chapter 513 - 513
"Why does a dragon even have such a good figure?! Has the world become this unfair already? Even its chest is bigger…"
Looking down at her own chest, which had shrunk against her will, Hoshino Alter seethed in helpless fury.
Hoshino muttered, "This dragon… don't tell me Kaiba designed it to his own tastes? All that talk about 'understanding the hearts of cards'—wasn't it just because, ever since he came back from Egypt, his obsession with Blue-Eyes White Dragon has gotten even more twisted?"
Kaiba, unfazed, pressed on with the duel:
"Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon's effect activates only if I already have a Blue-Eyes White Dragon on my field or in my Graveyard. When it is successfully Special Summoned, I can add 1 Ritual Spell Card from my Deck to my hand."
Her silver-scaled wings spread wide, releasing a clear, melodious cry that echoed like a hymn—an echo of the White Dragon's undying spirit lingering in the Graveyard.
"I add the Ritual Spell Card [Chaos Form] to my hand, and immediately activate it! By using the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in my hand as a Ritual Tribute, I Ritual Summon a 'Chaos' monster!"
Hoshino Alter's eyes widened. "Chaos Form?! I remember Yugi used that Ritual Spell too."
Two years ago, in the KC Grand Prix Finals, Yugi had also wielded Chaos Form. Its overwhelming effects had once driven Hoshino into a desperate struggle.
Light and darkness intertwined on Kaiba's field, forming chains of chaos. Infused with Blue-Eyes' radiance, the ritual summoned forth a dark dragon from beyond the worldline.
"—When the thunder of chaos roars, its form is carved into the storming heavens above! Bear witness to my ultimate chaos—Ritual Summon!! Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!!"
[Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon ★★★★★★★★ (Level 8)][DARK][Dragon/Ritual/Effect][ATK 3000/DEF 0]
[Must be Ritual Summoned with "Chaos Form." Cannot be Special Summoned by other ways.]
[①: Your opponent cannot target this card with card effects, also it cannot be destroyed by your opponent's card effects.]
Thunder tore open the chaotic void, and the dragon's figure soared skyward, releasing a pressure that rattled the heavens themselves. Unlike the duel Kaiba had fought earlier, this Ritual Monster was something entirely new—his Chaos Dragon, the embodiment of Kaiba's reborn strength.
Nobunaga rested her rifle lazily on her shoulder and sneered. "Tch, so flashy with its entrance. But with only 3000 attack, that's just the standard measuring stick for battle power~."
Hoshino Alter shot her a glare. "Nobu, do you realize you're also just a 3000-attack 'measuring stick' yourself?"
Okita giggled. "That settles it. From now on, Nobu will be our benchmark for monster strength instead of Blue-Eyes~."
Kaiba raised his voice, pointing toward the thunderous heavens. "My Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon's power is unmatched! Its invincibility isn't bound by mere stats!"
The corner of Hoshino Alter's mouth twitched. "Great, another one claiming to be 'unmatched.' I wonder how many 'invincibles' will actually survive this duel."
"Target Oda Nobunaga! Attack, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"
Without hesitation, Kaiba launched his assault. The Chaos Dragon dove from the storm, releasing a torrent of black-and-white energy.
Grinning madly, Nobunaga conjured three thousand rifles, all raised toward the descending beast.
"Omoshiroi. Want to die together, huh? Then let the 'Invincible Demon King of the Sixth Heaven' greet you head-on!"
Gunpowder detonations clashed against the storm of chaos. Invincible versus Invincible—yet one side had to fall.
"Heh-heh-heh!" Kaiba narrowed his eyes with a cold smile, absolute confidence radiating. "Bear witness to invincibility! At the moment of attack declaration, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon activates its effect—"
[When this card, Ritual Summoned using "Blue-Eyes White Dragon," declares an attack: Change all monsters your opponent controls to Defense Position. Their ATK and DEF become 0.]
"What?! My invincible power… sealed away?!"
All three thousand rifles jammed at once. Nobunaga collapsed, drained of strength by the chaotic field.
[Oda Nobunaga ATK → DEF 2500 → 0]
Hoshino winced. "Uh oh… looks like our so-called 'invincible' Nobunaga is about to get wrecked again…"
"Go, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon! Chaos Burst Gale!!"
The Chaos Dragon, merciless after stripping Nobunaga's strength, unleashed a devastating strike.
[Oda Nobunaga Destroyed]
Jonouchi, outraged, locked his arms around Bakura and shouted, "Just declaring an attack forces every monster into Defense and drops their stats to zero?! That's so busted—what kind of monster is this?!"
"This is your so-called invincible power, Kaiba?" Hoshino Alter said grimly. "The ability to crush nearly every monster the moment it attacks… this Chaos Dragon really is strong."
Kaiba smirked. "That's not all, Hoshino! When my Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon attacks a Defense Position monster, it deals piercing battle damage equal to the difference in ATK and DEF! —Explode, Chaos Light!!"
The Chaos Dragon roared, silver-gray wings spreading wide as it fired a penetrating blast straight at Hakusei.
"Gyaaahhh!!"
[Chiyuki Hoshino LP 3800 → 800]
The Duel Link's synchronization made the shockwave feel frighteningly real, slamming Hoshino Alter to the ground as though struck by a fatal blow. If not for the Mage Association uniform she'd changed into earlier, she might have been completely exposed.
"Sensei!" "Hoshino-nee!" Akasha and Jaden cried in alarm.
With the duel running on 8000 LP rules, being crushed to just 800 was the toughest battle Hoshino Alter had ever endured.
Yugi, who understood better than most, sighed softly and shook his head. "As expected… without swapping bodies, there's no way another Hoshino could beat Kaiba as he is now…"
Having destroyed Nobunaga, Kaiba wasted no time going for the kill against Hoshino Alter's empty field.
"This duel is over, Hoshino! Take this final strike from Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon—Abyssal Radiance!!"
But just before the attack landed, Hoshino Alter staggered to her feet and flipped a set card.
"You're strong, Kaiba, I'll admit that. But compared to your bond with cards, the bond between me and my Heroic Spirits will never lose to your White Dragons! Trap Card, activate—"
The AR Duel Disk flared with azure light at maximum output. Blocking Abyss Dragon's fatal blow, several Heroic Spirits materialized, throwing their bodies in front of their Master—just as Kaiba's Ultimate Dragon had once shielded him.
"—Holy Maiden Leading Chaldea!!"
[Trap Card Effect: Can only be activated when you take 2000 or more damage. Special Summon as many Level 4 or lower "Heroic Spirit" monsters from your Graveyard as possible. Monsters Special Summoned by this effect are sent to the Graveyard during your next End Phase.]
A Trap that had once been nearly impossible to trigger under the old 4000 LP rule had become practical under the 8000 LP system. That was why Hoshino Alter had chosen to include it in her Deck.
"The brilliance of Heroic Spirits that shine across human history—guide me toward victory! I Special Summon—Mash Kyrielight Formal Dress, Saber Lily, Leonidas I, and Saint George!!"
[Formal Dress Mash Kyrielight DEF 800]
"Are you alright, Senpai? We're here to help you!"
[Saber Lily DEF 800]
"Even without wielding the holy sword's true will, Master, you can still gather many Heroic Spirits at your side!"
[Leonidas I DEF 1900]
"Years of relentless training have forged these muscles—to become the shield that protects my Master!"
[Saint George DEF 1600]
"All these speeches don't matter. In the end, it's always me who has to take the hits!"
Gathering her forces anew, Hoshino Alter spread her arms wide as her Heroic Spirits stood beside her, their radiance forming a protective wall.
"How's that, Kaiba? Let's see your invincible White Dragons break through this light of protection! And since Saber Lily was Special Summoned, I can also add one Heroic Spirit monster from my Deck to my hand!"
Kaiba's eyes narrowed. "Hmph. So my Chaos Dragon's overwhelming battle damage only ended up triggering an annoying Trap. But Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon's attack isn't over yet! Even if it's just a small crack—I'll shatter your Heroic wall!"
The dazzling dragon, cloaked in starlight, unleashed the terrible power hidden beneath her beauty. Targeting the taunting Saint George, Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon struck with destructive force, annihilating him the moment he appeared.
[Heroic Spirit – Saint George Destroyed]
Mash gasped. "Sir George… he's gone again…"
Leonidas clenched his fist. "Is this the Golden Spirit of Jojo-dono? I am humbled!"
Saber Lily whispered, "Golden Spirit… Golden Sword… I still have a long way to go before I can embody gold myself."
Hoshino chuckled wryly. "To manage sacrificing poor George twice in the same duel—Kaiba, that's impressive in its own way."
But Hoshino Alter raised her hand in defiance. "No, I won't let Sir George's sacrifice be in vain. I'll inherit Jojo's will!"
Pointing at the card glowing beneath her feet, she shouted, "Continuous Trap—Wish Come True, activate! Once per turn, when a Heroic Spirit monster is destroyed by battle, both players draw 1 card from their Deck. This is George's final ripple!"
Kaiba also drew. His lips curled into a sharp grin. "Heh. Hoshino, that ripple of yours may well become the very misstep that costs you this duel. I set one card, and end my turn!"
With that draw, Kaiba's hand was now empty.
"And at the end of my turn," Kaiba declared, "Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon's effect activates!"
[Effect: During your End Phase, add 1 Level 8 or higher Dragon-Type monster from your Deck to your hand.]
"The monster I choose—Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"
[Kaiba's Hand: 0 | Set Cards: 2]
Hoshino narrowed her eyes. "So your plan is to finish this with Shining Dragon… My other self, you know as well as I do how troublesome that monster's resistance can be."
Hoshino Alter nodded firmly. "But no matter. Even if Shining Dragon blocks the way, it won't stop us from becoming Academy Director!"
She drew for her turn. At that moment, the long-burning Oda Nobunaga's Honnōji finally collapsed, its crumbling flames swallowing the duel arena whole.
"Field Spell—Final Honnōji! On the second Standby Phase after its activation, destroy this card, then destroy all monsters on the field!"
"All monsters destroyed, is it? Hahahahaha!!" Kaiba's laughter rang out as he flipped the Trap he had drawn earlier.
"Then I'll chain your destruction, and wipe out your monsters along with you! Trap Card—Ring of Destruction!!"
[Ring of Destruction Effect: Destroy 1 face-up monster. Both players take damage equal to that monster's ATK.]
"I choose to destroy Heroic Spirit – Artoria Pendragon Lily! Both players take 1200 damage!"
The crimson ring tightened around Saber Lily's pale throat, glowing with deadly light.
[Seto Kaiba LP: 3500]
[Chiyuki Hoshino LP: 800]
Jaden cried out, "This is bad! Sensei doesn't have enough LP to survive the shared damage!"
Yugi's gaze hardened. "Kaiba's exploiting the advantage of his higher LP to turn simultaneous damage into a killing blow. That Ring of Destruction Hoshino helped him draw earlier… may truly prove fatal."
The collapsing flames of Honnōji and the blast from Ring of Destruction merged into a towering pillar of fire, engulfing the battlefield like the end of the world.
Kaiba's voice rang out from within the inferno. "Didn't expect this, did you, Hoshino?! In the end, you're defeated by the very card you helped me draw!"
But Hoshino Alter raised her arm defiantly. "No… if you hadn't activated that card, that's when I'd be in trouble. Your Ring of Destruction… is what gives me a new path forward! Chain—Counter Trap, activate! Reclaim Our History!!"
[Reclaim Our History – Counter Trap: Can only be activated if your LP are lower than your opponent's, when they activate a card effect that would destroy your own card(s). Negate all such effects in that Chain. Then, Special Summon 1 "Heroic Spirit – Mash Kyrielight" from your Deck or GY.]
"Come forth, Mash!!"
"True Name, revealed! Stand at the Seat of Calamity! Heal every wound, soothe every grudge of our homeland… Manifest now—Our Distant Utopia! Camelot!!"
With a mighty roar, the gates of Camelot erupted from the ground, shielding Hoshino Alter behind their towering walls. The apocalyptic firestorm was sealed outside. Once again, the small but unyielding Mash stood before her Master.
Kaiba's eyes widened. "Impossible?! Mash… again?!"
But the impregnable walls of Camelot were more than shields—they were blades severing Kaiba's path to victory.
"Because of Reclaim Our History, both Honnōji and Ring of Destruction's effects are negated!"
When the flames cleared, Hoshino Alter stood tall, surrounded by her Heroic Spirits. Bathed in Camelot's radiance, she looked almost divine.
"Now my field has three LIGHT-Attribute Heroic Spirit monsters! It's time to end this, Kaiba!"
Saber Lily (LIGHT), Mash Kyrielight Formal Dress (LIGHT), Mash Kyrielight (LIGHT)
The triple radiance pierced through Camelot's ramparts and the chaotic thunderclouds surrounding Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon. Their combined light condensed into a great sun that turned night into day.
"Fusion Summon, using three LIGHT Heroic Spirits—Heroic Spirit – Ozymandias! With this battle between ancestors and descendants, let's bring this duel to its climax!!"
Looking down at her own chest, which had shrunk against her will, Hoshino Alter seethed in helpless fury.
Hoshino muttered, "This dragon… don't tell me Kaiba designed it to his own tastes? All that talk about 'understanding the hearts of cards'—wasn't it just because, ever since he came back from Egypt, his obsession with Blue-Eyes White Dragon has gotten even more twisted?"
