.Chapter 201: The 5000 ATK Behemoth
Jumping down from **Red-Eyes Black Dragon**, Hayato scanned his surroundings vigilantly.
If they had followed the layout of **Castle of Dark Illusions** and entered through the proper entrance, Hayato and the others would have had to climb the tower floor by floor, breaking through obstacles, to reach the Altar where Kaiba was trapped.
However, because the Giant Bird Aircraft crashed midway and they switched to **Red-Eyes Black Dragon** to crash into the Castle by taking an unconventional route, they arrived directly at a spacious Hall on the top floor of the Castle.
In stark contrast to the elaborate defenses outside the Castle, the Hall was remarkably quiet and empty, not at all resembling the location of the Final Boss.
Joey Wheeler waited until Yugi Mutou was the last to jump down from **Red-Eyes Black Dragon**, then also put away his Card and looked behind them. There, the large hole they had crashed through to break into **Castle of Dark Illusions** was slowly closing, as if the Castle itself were alive.
The Monster Army that had been pursuing them lingered outside the hole but dared not enter, as if there was something within the Castle Hall where Joey Wheeler and the others were that they greatly feared.
And just as the hole closed, a dark, gaping hole suddenly appeared above Yugi Mutou and the others.
"What is that?!" Joey Wheeler immediately pulled out the **Red-Eyes Black Dragon** Card he had just put away, ready to summon it and attack if anything seemed wrong.
Fortunately, he waited a moment, because what emerged from the hole above them were the two brothers, Mokuba and Kaiba.
"Kaiba, Mokuba!" Yugi Mutou looked at the two who appeared in the hole with some surprise. "Are you alright?"
Jumping down from the hole gracefully while holding Mokuba, Kaiba crouched slightly to absorb the impact. After letting Mokuba stand on his own, he straightened up and looked at Yugi Mutou and the others. "Yugi Mutou?! You actually came to this world too?"
"Thanks to Yugi Mutou, I was able to come to you, big brother." Mokuba stood beside Kaiba, smiling as he looked at Yugi Mutou and the others. Beside his brother, Mokuba finally dropped the facade of a tough little adult he had put on, likely because he once again had someone he could rely on.
Though he had secretly acknowledged the help from Yugi Mutou and the others in his heart, Kaiba was his usual tsundere self. He let out a cold snort, not willing to concede anything verbally. "Hmph, just a waste of effort. I could have cleared this game by myself without you."
"Kaiba, you really are as annoying as ever," Joey Wheeler said, annoyed. "We went through a lot just to get here to save you."
"You, a mere mortal, trying to save me? Hmph hmph, you can't even save yourself. You probably got saved by Yugi Mutou and Hayato multiple times along the way." Kaiba looked at Joey Wheeler coldly, not taking his presence seriously.
Just then, several eerie laughs echoed from the depths of the Hall behind them.
"Hmph hmph hmph hmph..."
"Heh heh heh..."
"Gah gah..."
Mai Valentine frowned. "Who's playing tricks over there!"
"Hmph, those voices, it's The Big Five!" Kaiba looked coldly at the darkness in the depths of the Hall. "How regrettable. Although you used all sorts of schemes and tricks, I still got my Deck. Your plan to use me as a Tribute has completely failed!"
"Tch, indeed. Without a Tribute, the Final Boss of this game, the Legendary Monster—**Five-Headed Dragon**—cannot be revived," one voice said.
But another voice immediately followed, "Did you think we would say that? Kaiba boy!"
"The game is far from over. You, who thought you escaped our control, have merely stepped onto another stage!"
"This boring game ends here, Seto Kaiba. Let this Monster shatter your arrogance and make you pay the price for your contempt towards us!"
"The strongest Dragon-Type Monster, **Five-Headed Dragon**!"
The darkness covering the Hall suddenly dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the place. Both the ceiling and the floor were covered in patterns resembling circuits on a circuit board. Countless golden lights surged towards the depths of the darkness, from which several gigantic dragon heads emerged, approaching the group.
"This is!" Yugi Mutou's eyes widened involuntarily. "**Five-Headed Dragon**!"
Upon its mountain-like body, five dragon heads of different forms gazed at the six people present: Wind, Fire, Water, EARTH Attribute, and Dark. The five-in-one demonic dragon, **Five-Headed Dragon**!
**Five-Headed Dragon** ATK5000
"Impossible, **Five-Headed Dragon** shouldn't have enough Tributes!" Kaiba's face also showed a serious expression. Even his strongest fusion of three **Blue-Eyes White Dragon**s, the summoned **Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon**, only had an ATK of 4500. **Five-Headed Dragon**'s ATK was a terrifying 5000 points.
At this moment, under the astonished gaze of the group, **Five-Headed Dragon**'s Wind Attribute head actually spoke. "No, no, no, Kaiba boy. Who told you that **Five-Headed Dragon** had no Tributes?"
"That voice, it's you! Shuzo Otaki?!" Kaiba recognized it. That condescending voice definitely belonged to KaibaCorp's personnel manager—Shuzo Otaki!
"Using you as a Tribute for **Five-Headed Dragon** was part of the plan, but we had already prepared a backup plan before the plan was implemented," came the voice of KaibaCorp's lawyer—Chikuzen Ohoka—from the EARTH Attribute head.
The other dragon heads also spoke one by one:
"Using us as Tributes, the strongest Monster that cannot be destroyed by battle—**Five-Headed Dragon**—has been revived!"
"If you cannot defeat him, you cannot leave this world, Seto Kaiba!"
"KaibaCorp is ours!"
Yugi Mutou smiled disdainfully. "Although it's powerful, **Five-Headed Dragon** is by no means an invincible Duel Monster."
Yugi Mutou said, "Come forth, **Dark Magician**, followed by **Thousand Knives**!"
The figure of **Dark Magician** appeared before Yugi Mutou. He swung the Staff in his hand forward, and countless small knives appeared out of thin air, rushing towards **Five-Headed Dragon**. But to Yugi Mutou's surprise, when **Thousand Knives** struck **Five-Headed Dragon**, it suddenly shattered into thin air!?
Even the **Dark Magician** Yugi Mutou had summoned suddenly knelt on the ground in pain, unable to move.
"What's going on?!" Joey Wheeler was somewhat surprised. **Five-Headed Dragon** didn't do anything, so why did **Dark Magician** collapse on its own?
"Look at the ground! **Ruler of Dragons** is drawn on the floor!" Hayato reminded them. "There's a Barrier here too!"
"As expected of the King of Games, your observation skills are truly sharp," **Five-Headed Dragon** said. "Within this Barrier that cannot be left or negated, Dragon-Type Monsters are unaffected by the effects of other Cards, and only Dragon-Type Monsters can be summoned!"
"In other words, the strongest Dragon-Type Monster—**Five-Headed Dragon**—is the absolute god in this world! It cannot be defeated!"
Yugi Mutou returned **Dark Magician** to his hand, his gaze firm as he looked at **Five-Headed Dragon**. "Among Duel Monsters, there is absolutely no Monster that cannot be defeated! Even if it's a god, we will defeat it and show you!"
Yugi Mutou, Hayato, Kaiba, Mai Valentine, and Joey Wheeler said in unison, "Duel!"
**Blue-Eyes White Dragon**
**Red-Eyes Black Dragon**
**Harpie's Pet Dragon**
**Armed Dragon LV10**
**Curse of Dragon**
Five Dragon-Type Monsters stood on the field, confronting the **Five-Headed Dragon** opposite them!
