Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 418

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Dragon of Light (Bonus)

The strongest Blue-Eyes in history.

Given that this was the anime world, and facing Kaiba, Kira had an idea of what it might be.

If it was "that"... well, in theory, that card shouldn’t exist anymore.

But in any case, the answer was about to be revealed.

"I activate the spell card ’Shuffle Reborn’," Kaiba declared. "This card can only be activated when I have no monsters on the field. I select one monster from my graveyard to Special Summon."

Azure data streams coalesced into a card, exiting his graveyard slot.

"My strongest servant, the Ultimate Dragon—Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, revive!"

A blinding white light and earth-shaking presence—the invincible three-headed White Dragon returned in all its glory!

[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, ATK 4500]

"So fast, he brought back Ultimate Dragon already—not bad, President," Kira smiled. "But monsters summoned by Shuffle Reborn have their effects negated, and are banished at the end of the turn."

"Huh?" Mokuba blinked. "But with ’Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon’ in the graveyard, big brother’s Ultimate Dragon is invincible—it’s immune to all card effects!"

"No, it’s ’immune to opponent’s card effects’," Jaden grinned.

"But Shuffle Reborn is Kaiba’s own card, so its side effect can’t be avoided."

"I see..."

"Still, knowing Kaiba, he must have a plan," Zane said.

He was right.

Kaiba slowly drew out a card from his hand.

"At last," he said quietly. "After so many years, I’ve finally regained this power.

Grant me this power once more—descend in your ultimate form—"

Kaiba’s pupils narrowed as he raised the card, a beam of brilliant blue shooting into the sky. Lightning dragons roared amidst the clouds.

Jaden stared in shock.

Something big was about to appear...

"I tribute ’Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon’!"

The crowd was stunned.

A monster that strong—he’s sacrificing it? What kind of monster could require such a condition?

"Summoned from beyond the ultimate beast, a dragon of light that erases everything—appear now—

—Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!!!"

From the light emerged the legendary ultimate monster. Armored in refined steel and stardust, its deep blue radiance was pure and intense as a newborn blue sun.

No, it wasn’t just a dragon—it was more like a guardian deity.

Worshipped as a god by ancient Egyptians, it first appeared in card form in Pegasus’s hands, briefly becoming Kaiba’s trump card that surpassed even the gods.

But at the end of the Pyramid of Light movie, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon burned itself out to destroy the final boss’s "Pyramid of Light," vanishing as a result.

This was the peak of White Dragon evolution Kaiba had reached. Even after all these years, he hadn’t developed a stronger form. So of course, he used every resource to try and recreate this card.

Now, after so many years, he had finally succeeded.

Back then, Atem was the first and only opponent Kaiba faced with Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon. Now, Kira became the second.

[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, ATK 3000]

"Whenever Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon would be affected by a card effect, its controller can choose whether to accept or ignore it." (Anime effect)

Kaiba declared,

"This is the ultimate evolution of White Dragon, with absolute resistance!"

"Choose whether to accept any effect!?" Zane’s face changed.

Does such resistance even exist!?

"That really does surpass even the Ultimate Dragon’s resistance," Jaden agreed.

It’s Kaiba Seto, after all. The previous Ultimate Dragon with full resistance was already a legendary monster in their eyes—yet now, Kaiba had immediately surpassed even that.

"...I activate the spell card ’Dragon Shrine’," Kaiba said calmly. "I send one Dragon-type monster from my deck to the graveyard. If it’s a Normal Monster, I can send another."

His deck automatically ejected two cards.
