"Infinite ATK, infinite monster destruction..."
If he wasn’t a robot, Alpha might have started sweating bullets.
The calm, yellow-clad student before him grew more and more terrifying and abstract in his eyes. Under the hazy moonlight, together with the infinitely strong, sinister marionette on the field, he truly looked like a ghost.
Is this guy just a student? The thought flashed through Alpha’s mind.
Can I beat an opponent like this?
No—before that...
Did Father, the one who gave me this mission, secretly have doubts about me?
"I set a card and end my turn," Kira said.
Alpha snapped back to himself.
No, that’s not it!
Father believes in me! He’s studied all of Kaiba’s duels, all his strategies. The reason he sent me is because he trusts my abilities!
And I won’t let him down!
"My turn, draw!"
Alpha’s gaze became resolute.
So what if it’s infinite? I’ll crush it!
"Standby Phase, activate the set card: Quick-Play Spell ’Emergency Provisions.’ Send ’Nightmare Mirage’ to the graveyard; I recover 1000 LP."
[Alpha, LP 4000 → LP 5000]
Kira watched calmly.
Wow, Emergency Provisions? Never would have guessed...
"Then, in my graveyard, ’Arkbrave Dragon’s effect!" Alpha said. "On the Standby Phase, after it’s sent to the graveyard, I can Special Summon another Level 7 or 8 Dragon from my graveyard.
I revive this card—"
He raised his arm.
"Rise again in black flames! Level 7, Darkblaze Dragon!"
Black flames exploded as a dragon wreathed in fire soared from the underworld.
[Darkblaze Dragon, ATK 1200]
"Darkblaze Dragon’s effect: When Special Summoned from the graveyard, its ATK is doubled!"
[Darkblaze Dragon, ATK 1200 → 2400]
"Of course, against your infinite ATK Magical Marionette, it’s nothing...that’s what you’re thinking, right?
But my dragons’ power doesn’t end there!"
He activated another Spell.
"Spell Card ’Fiend’s Sanctuary.’ Special Summon a ’Metal Fiend Token’!"
[Metal Fiend Token, ATK 0]
"Then Tribute the Metal Fiend Token to Tribute Summon!
Level 6, Gravity Dragon!"
[Gravi-Crush Dragon, ATK 2400]
"Gravi-Crush Dragon’s effect! Send a face-up Continuous Spell you control to the graveyard to destroy an opponent’s monster!"
Alpha pulled the card from his duel disk.
"I send ’Ruins of the Divine Dragon Lords’ to the grave to destroy ’Magical Marionette!’"
The ancient dragon statue shattered, sending out a wave of gravity. Even the infinitely strong Puppet was crushed and destroyed.
"Ha ha ha! See that? That’s my power surpassing infinity!"
Alpha laughed.
"Father believes in me, and no matter what, I will live up to that trust! The power Kaiba has, I have too!"
Kira shook his head.
"So you studied all his duels, all his tactics, and this is all you learned? Just brute force?"
"What?" Alpha frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
