Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1342 The Vanished Number

"No, it's impossible."

Gu Kou's eyes were bloodshot as he knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

It's impossible, it doesn't make sense.

He has mastered the power of "NO," and two "NOs" at that. This should be a power that transcends this entire dimension, possessing laws that transcend this dimension.

No. It should be indestructible, invincible. It clearly possesses such immense power.
wrong.

If I had to say something, it seems that his invincible "NO" didn't actually come down in the end; it was he who fell.

This is infuriating.

The "Shared Soul" card allows you to "Special Summon a monster on the field and add its ATK to the selected monster." While the card doesn't explicitly state whether the selected monster must be on your or your opponent's field, would a reasonable person typically think of selecting a monster on their opponent's field?
Give his Volcanic Dinosaur over 4,000 attack power, then let the Queen of Collision, Yubel, finish him off with a counter-attack, taking him down from full health. Taniguchi is certain that such a bizarre OTK combo is unheard of before, and the brain that came up with this combination must be somewhat reclusive.

Sure enough, the more I think about this bizarre way of dying, the angrier and more indignant I become.

Thinking of this, it was as if the anger brewing in my chest had swelled to its limit and then suddenly burst out.

He threw his head back and roared, the sound carrying out the moment he fell heavily backward like a puppet with its strings cut. Just as his body was about to hit the ground, a thick, inky dark aura suddenly erupted from his chest.

The black mist twisted and deformed in the air, gradually coalescing into the outline of a hideous human face. Its features were indistinct in the mist, its wide-open eyes burning with a blood-red light, and its gaping mouth revealing sharp fangs. The face emitted a deafening roar, a sound filled with anger, resentment, and hatred, as if it wanted to devour Judai.

"The power of Darkness?"

Jaden was already familiar with it, and without saying a word, he pulled out his beloved monster and slammed it onto the Duel Disk.

"New Universe Hero!"

Countless golden points of light coalesced, transforming into a streamlined form. The New Universe Knight's figure solidified completely in the dazzling light, his silver-white body shimmering like stars in the sunlight. Suddenly, the crystal on his forehead burst forth with blinding golden light, and a pure beam of energy pierced the sky like a sword of judgment.

The golden laser struck the distorted black face precisely, a piercing shriek erupting the instant light and darkness met. The face twisted and deformed violently within the beam, black smoke billowing out as if being scorched. It opened its mouth wide, emitting a silent wail, its features dissolving and reforming in agony, struggling to break free from the sacred beam's hold.

Xinyuxia increased its output. The black, human-shaped face continued to expand and contract, as if struggling to dissipate. It twisted into a pained expression at times, and transformed into a furious roar at others, finally exploding with a shrill scream, turning into countless black specks of light that scattered into the air.

Yubel floated behind him with his arms crossed: "In this way, the Darkness power in this guy's body will also be cleared away."

She paused, then looked at the valley entrance where the man had lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

"Whether this guy can wake up or not depends on fate."

Fubuki Tenjouin was controlled by Darkness's consciousness for so long, and she was only able to wake up from her bed thanks to her younger sister Asuka's care and calls. Moreover, what possessed Fubuki was only a small fragment of Darkness from within that mask.

This student named Taniguchi is different; he was completely consumed by Darkness before. Even though Jaden severed his connection with Darkness through a duel, it's uncertain whether he will wake up.

However, Yubel was wondering whether Darkness was caused by anger over the outcome of the duel, judging from his performance just now.

She stole a glance at Judai.

Thinking back to my own teenage years, what a sunny and cheerful kid I was back then. Who could have imagined that one day I would turn out like this?
Moreover, Judai thinks he's perfectly normal.

Yubel is his most important Pokémon, and now considered one of his trump cards. Yubel's inherent ability is to apply anti-tank armor, so isn't it normal to design various tactical combinations to maximize the effectiveness of this ability?

Giving the opponent a monster to boost their attack and then killing it with a single shot—isn't that a perfectly normal thought process? Jaden didn't think there was anything wrong with his thinking at all. Even if someone told him that in the original anime timeline, Jaden never used Yubel's cards after retrieving them, he probably wouldn't believe it.

Yes, Jaden Jaden almost never used Yubel after retrieving him in the anime. It's probably because, for Jaden Jaden at that time in the anime, the card Yubel was too sinister and didn't fit his style, so even after fusing into a single entity, he never summoned Yubel again.

But things are different now that the world line has changed. Now Yubel has truly become one of Jaden's favorite monsters. He now finds Yubel's invincibility and ability to reflect damage both powerful and interesting, especially when she kills the opponent in one hit, which always makes him think, "What an interesting duel."

After finishing his card game, Jaden first called the school doctor on Academy Island, asking them to quickly bring someone to take the unconscious Taniguchi to the infirmary.

Taniguchi has been a missing person in the academy for a long time, and his reappearance will probably cause quite a stir in the academy.

It would probably cause an even bigger uproar, especially when the classmates around them realize that they have been brainwashed and their cognition has been altered, mistakenly believing that Taniguchi has always been their classmate.

Then, thanks to the excellent teaching of the Yellow King, Judai stepped forward and bent down to examine the deck left behind by the other party.

Or more accurately, it's the card box clipped to the waist that holds the extra deck.

"Xyz Monsters and Synchro Monsters are similar to Fusion Monsters; they are not added to the Main Deck, but are usually in the Extra Deck."

Judai pulled out the card box from the other person's waist.

"That's what You Xuan seems to have said."

Yubel nodded with his arms crossed behind him: "That seems to be the case."

However, when Jaden opened the card box, he couldn't help but frown.

empty.

An empty card box, spotless, with nothing inside.

"strangeness."

The tenth generation tilts their head.

"Could he be carrying other card cases?"

However, Judai searched Taniguchi's body for a while but found nothing.

The opponent only had their main deck from their Duel Disk; they didn't have a single other card on them. The only other card box they carried was also empty.

In other words, there were no volcanic dinosaurs or frozen dinosaurs.

The two numbers seem to have vanished into thin air.

"It's already been recycled?" Judai asked in confusion.

“No, I can still feel that power called 'NO.',” Yubel said. “It’s probably hidden somewhere on this guy.”

Judai: "Where else could it be hidden? I've searched everywhere."

“This thing called NO. is unusual; it’s probably not a card that can be taken away by ordinary means,” Yubel said. “I suggest you ask ‘that man’ for his opinion; he might have a solution.”
