Chapter 165 - Chapter 164 : The Battle City Finale

"What… how is this possible? My Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon was neutralized that easily…" Yami Yugi murmured, stunned.

"Heh. With that, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is just a normal monster again. Its ATK returns to its original value," Kisaragi said coolly.

Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon (3000/2500)

"I activate the Spell Card Heavy Storm! It destroys all Spell and Trap Cards on the field!"

The moment her words fell, a violent cyclone tore across the arena. Every Spell and Trap on both sides was ripped away and obliterated.

"Tch… You removed The True Sun God, and you even wiped the set Trap I'd been holding," Yami Yugi muttered.

"Of course." Kisaragi smoothly continued. "I activate the Equip Spell Guidance of Light. If I have three or more 'Blue-Eyes' monsters in my Graveyard, I can target one of them: Special Summon it with its effects negated, then equip this card to it. If this card leaves the field, that monster is banished."

A pillar of white light descended from above.

From within it, Blue-Eyes White Dragon emerged and landed beside Kisaragi like a divine pillar.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500)

"Blue-Eyes…" Kaiba stared at the dragon on her field, momentarily lost.

"Yugi—when Blue-Eyes White Dragon is equipped with Guidance of Light, the number of attacks it can make in the Battle Phase depends on how many 'Blue-Eyes' monsters are in my Graveyard."

She met his eyes. "I have Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon in my Graveyard. So my Blue-Eyes White Dragon can attack twice this turn."

"But my Dragoon's ATK matches Blue-Eyes. If you attack, you'll both go down," Yami Yugi said, still trying to anchor himself.

"It won't." Kisaragi placed a new card down with absolute confidence. "I activate the Continuous Spell Chivalric Spirit. When my monster battles an opponent's monster with the same ATK, my monster isn't destroyed."

"What?!" Yami Yugi's eyes widened.

"Battle!" Kisaragi declared. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacks Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon—Burst Stream of Destruction!"

The white dragon roared. A torrent of light swallowed Dragoon whole and shattered it into fragments.

Her next words came sharp as steel.

"Ordinarily, the direct attack right after would end you. But the turn I activated Dark Ruler No More, all damage you take becomes 0."

She set a card. "End turn." (Hand: 1)

Down below, Joey exhaled hard. "Man… I thought Yugi was about to lose again."

"It makes sense," Duke replied. "Dark Ruler No More is that strong—there has to be a price."

"My turn. Draw."

Yami Yugi glanced at the card he drew, then looked up—smiling faintly.

"Kisaragi… last turn you couldn't finish me. Now the scale tips toward me."

He slammed the card down.

"I activate Monster Reborn! Rise—Obelisk the Tormentor!"

A blue titan surged from the Graveyard and erupted onto the field.

Obelisk the Tormentor (4000/4000)

"What?! He brought out a God again now?!" Kaiba snapped, genuinely rattled.

"Battle! Obelisk attacks Blue-Eyes White Dragon—God Hand Crash!"

Obelisk's fist came down like a meteor—

—and then stopped.

"What?!" Yami Yugi's eyes widened. "Why did it stop?!"

Kisaragi didn't flinch. "Yugi—if you'd revived Dragoon instead, I would've lost."

She pointed at her set card. "I activate Forced End. You know the effect: I send one card I control to the Graveyard to end your Battle Phase."

"But if you do that, you have no other cards—so you'd have to send Blue-Eyes!" Yami Yugi protested.

Kisaragi smiled. "Is that really true?"

"…What?!"

She revealed the card she had just sent.

"I sent Tough! Invincible! Strongest! to the Graveyard. While it's in the Graveyard, if I Special Summon a 'Blue-Eyes' monster, I can Set it again from the Graveyard."

Yami Yugi's breath caught.

Kisaragi's eyes were merciless.

"And because a revived God can only remain for one turn, Obelisk will disappear after this."

She tilted her head slightly. "You trusted a God Card too much—and ignored its weak point."

Yami Yugi let out a strained laugh. "…You're right. If I'd revived Dragoon, everything changes."

He lowered his gaze. "End turn."

"My turn. Draw."

"Battle!" Kisaragi's voice rang out clean and final."Blue-Eyes White Dragon, direct attack—Burst Stream of Destruction!"

A single beam of annihilating light hit dead center.

Yami Yugi's LP 400 → 0

Kisaragi Aoi wins.

"Duel over!" Isono announced. "I declare the new Duel King of Battle City—Kisaragi Aoi!"

For a heartbeat, the arena was silent.

Then Mokuba's voice burst through first.

"Yes!! Kisaragi-oneechan is the Duel King!"

Marik stared, shaken. "The Pharaoh… lost—even with two God Cards."

Joey and the others looked to Yugi with a painful mix of pride and regret. "Yugi…"

But Yami Yugi didn't collapse into despair. He walked straight up to Kisaragi and removed two cards from his Deck.

"Kisaragi—you defeated me. So these two God Cards are yours."

Kisaragi accepted them, but her expression remained steady—almost gentle.

"To be honest, I won by a hair. If you'd made a different call at the end… you might've taken Ra from me."

Yami Yugi shook his head. "A loss is a loss. I went all out. Take them."

Kisaragi nodded. "Yugi—those God Cards are connected to your memories. They're mine now by rule, but we're friends. If you ever need the three Gods… tell me. I'll lend them to you. We'll get your memories back."

Yami Yugi's eyes softened. "Thank you. And… next time, I'm not going to keep losing forever."

"I'll accept your challenge anytime."

Marik and Isis stepped forward.

"Pharaoh—and Miss Kisaragi," Isis said, voice solemn. "Since you've reached this understanding, the Tomb Keepers should contribute as well."

Marik pulled off his shirt, revealing scars and an ominous inscription across his back.

"That's… horrible," Téa whispered, covering her mouth.

"It looks like it hurts," Joey muttered.

"This is the key our clan protected through generations," Isis explained. "A map to where the Pharaoh's memories are sealed."

Yami Yugi stared, quiet. "So this pain… is how they safeguarded my memories…"

Isis continued. "These are the words of a Tomb Keeper seer who served the royal house three thousand years ago. The one who obtains the power of the three Gods—this becomes proof of the soul that houses the Pharaoh."

Yugi's mind flashed again with the stone tablet.

"So… my memories are inside that tablet?"

Isis nodded. "And now our duty is complete."

Marik raised the Millennium Rod. Isis removed the Millennium Necklace. Together, they handed both Millennium Items to Yami Yugi.

Kaiba stepped forward, composure restored.

"As the organizer of Battle City, I congratulate Kisaragi Aoi—Duel King."

Then he added, casually:

"And next, I'm going to blow up this island."

Everyone exploded at once.

"What?!""What the hell is he thinking?!""He's just salty—don't blow up a tower!"

Kaiba smirked. "Hmph. I was going to destroy the tower. But since Kisaragi won here… destroying it would erase proof of her achievement."

He looked at the ruins around them. "So instead, I'll clear the wreckage, rebuild the island into Kisaragi's private island, and place a Blue-Eyes White Dragon statue atop the tower—commemorating the monster that carried her to victory."

He glanced at Isono. Isono bowed immediately.

"Yes, Kaiba Corp will begin at once and complete it as fast as possible."

Joey groaned. "Ugh—there he goes again, flexing in front of Kisaragi…"

Kaiba ignored him. He simply took Kisaragi's hand and walked away.

"We're leaving. If you don't want to stay here, keep up."

"Kaiba—wait up, you jerk!!"
