Duelist Duel 197
"Slifer" attacked "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", and Kaiba activated his face-down, "[[Interdimensional Matter Transporter (manga)|Interdimensional Matter Transporter]]", causing "XYZ" to disappear from the attack destination, causing "Slifer" to miss, and promptly reappear.<ref name="d d 196" />
Dark Yugi Set a card<ref name="d d 196" /> "[[Pot of Greed (manga)|Pot of Greed]]", <ref name="d d 197">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|197|ref}}</ref> which surprised Kaiba, since it lowered the number of cards in his hand, and therefore the ATK of "Slifer" ("Slifer": 3000 → 2000 ATK, 3000 → 2000 [[DEF]]).<ref name="d d 196" />
'''Turn 10: Kaiba'''
The effect of "Lightforce Sword" ended and "Obelisk" returned to Kaiba's hand. "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", having a composition of three magnet monsters, could be used as three Sacrifices, so Kaiba offered it to Summon "[[The God of the Obelisk]]". Dark Yugi could sense immense power inside of "Obelisk" and found himself shaking in fear, like he never felt before. Kaiba announced that the clash of the titans had come, that all of the God cards were to become his and he would become the King of Duelists.<ref name="d d 196" />
In the [[Kaiba Craft 3|Battle Ship]], parked outside the Duel Tower, [[Ishizu Ishtar (manga)|Ishizu]] observed that the battle of the Gods had finally begun. In the ship's infirmary, [[Hiroto Honda (manga)|Honda]] alerted [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu]], [[Shizuka Kawai (manga)|Shizuka]] and [[Ryuji Otogi (manga)|Ryuji]] when he saw "Obelisk" and "Slifer" Summoned on top of the Duel Tower. He made a plea for [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Jonouchi]], who was still unconscious from his Duel with Dark Marik, to wake up and cheer for Dark Yugi. Against the doctor's orders, he lifted Jonouchi out of the bed and brought him over to the window. The doctor then noted a slight improvement on Jonouchi's heart rate monitor.<ref name="d d 197" />
Since Kaiba Summoned a monster, the "Summon Thunder Bullet" effect of "Slifer" was activated, reducing the ATK of "Obelisk" by 2000 ("Obelisk": 4000 → 2000 ATK). Kaiba noted that the God cards now had the same ATK, but on the next turn "Obelisk" would return to 4000, while "Slifer" would rise to 3000. He thought that the outcome of the Duel would depend on the next turn and Set "Life Shaver".<ref name="d d 197" />
'''Turn 11: Dark Yugi'''
Dark Yugi drew a card, raising the number of cards in his hand to three. ("Slifer": 2000 → 3000 ATK, 2000 → 3000 DEF). The stat-reduction effect wore off of "Obelisk" ("Obelisk": 2000 → 4000 ATK).<ref name="d d 197" />
Dark Yugi was conscious about playing more cards, since it would lower the ATK of "Slifer", so he ended his turn.<ref name="d d 197" />
'''Turn 12: Kaiba'''
"Obelisk" attacked "Slifer", but Dark Yugi activated "[[Pot of Greed (manga)|Pot of Greed]]", drawing two cards ("Slifer": 3000 → 5000 ATK, 3000 → 5000 DEF). Kaiba responded with "[[Life Shaver (manga)|Life Shaver]]", causing Dark Yugi to discard one card ("Slifer": 5000 → 4000 ATK), leaving the two God cards with the same ATK.<ref name="d d 197" />
