Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1356 Unite
"Nani?"

Drouet frowned.

This guy, with his confidence and arrogance... Could it be that I've unknowingly fallen into some kind of trap?

But the opponent only has one "restrained civilian" left on the field, a completely blank monster. How can something like that pose a threat?
“You’re thinking right now,” You Xuan said, “that they’re just a few mortal bones, what kind of threat could they pose? Is that right?”

Druva: "."

"So, you future people who have been spoiled by things like overload and synchronization are very likely to forget this point," You Xuan smiled. "Sometimes, 'old' doesn't necessarily mean 'outdated'."

Don't underestimate the power of classics.

Druid was still clueless, but he didn't continue explaining: "My turn, draw a card!"

Preparations are complete, and all components have been gathered.

Now it's time to settle things.

"I summon this card from my hand, which has already been revealed in the previous turn."

Displaced, starving people!

Hunched figures emerged from the vortex of summoning. They were wrapped in faded, white coarse linen, the fabric stained with mud from their long journeys. Some leaned on withered branches as canes, their eyes unfocused in their sunken sockets; an old woman clutched an empty pottery jar, her knuckles protruding from hunger; a blonde woman knelt on the ground, coughing violently, her ribs clearly visible beneath her thin clothing.

Compared to the various demons, dragons, or valiant warriors that usually appear in the dueling arena, this monster stands out as an "old, weak, sick, and disabled" creature, constantly groaning weakly, as if simply standing up had exhausted all its strength, showing absolutely no fighting power.

[Displaced starving people, attack power 600]

“Next, activate the face-down card, the Continuous Trap ‘Blood Compensation’,” Yu Xuan said. “Pay 500 Life Points to Normal Summon an additional monster from your hand.”

[Yu Xuan, LP1100 → LP600]

"I'm going to summon 'United Resistance', which I just retrieved last round!"

Several warriors emerged heavily from the summoning vortex, clad in patched, coarse linen cloaks, beneath which glints of rusty armor. The lead warrior abruptly ripped off his hood, revealing a scarred face; beneath his tattered helmet, his eyes burned with an indomitable flame. The warrior on the left shook the dust from his cloak, revealing a breastplate barely secured by leather straps. The boy on the right, though his armor was the most tattered, gripped his rusty spear ramrod straight.

[A united resistance force, attack power 1000]

Although they still looked like a ragtag army, at least they looked like soldiers.

Druva frowned: "No matter how many come, they're just ordinary monsters with no offensive power or effect. What exactly are these things?"

"Of course we can win," You Xuan said with a smile.

Drova: "What?"

"I've said it before, never underestimate the power of the people. These people, who seem pale, thin, and frail, might just be capable if they unite."

You Xuan paused for a moment.

"...has the power to overthrow a regime."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

"And now this is that power; let's see what the wrath of a common man is."

Activate the face-down card, the trap card—Revolution!

As the card flipped over, it seemed as if the same flame had suddenly ignited in the eyes of those frail, elderly, sick, and disabled players on the field.

"A great revolution can only be launched when, in its main phase, there are simultaneously 'displaced starving people,' 'oppressed masses,' and 'united resistance forces' on its own field."

Send all of your opponent's cards to the graveyard, and destroy all cards controlled by your opponent on the field!

Druva: "!!!"

What did you say?!
The entire field is destroyed, and even all the cards in the hand are wiped out in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to instantly clearing out all of the opponent's resources and all the operations so far in the duel except for the graveyard resources.

It was as if a kingdom had been overthrown!
The "Great Revolution" ignited a raging fire in the demon-infested region, the phantom of the guillotine appearing in the flames. Displaced, starving people threw away their broken begging bowls, oppressed masses broke their chains, united resistance fighters raised their rusty weapons, and the figures of all the oppressed merged into a surging tide of people in the firelight.

Druid's hand spontaneously combusted as the rebels swept through, the cards turning to ash and scattering. The Photon Butterfly Assassin tried to escape, but the old woman smashed her wings with a clay pot, the boy pierced her ankle with a spear, and she was ultimately torn apart by the bare hands of the wounded warriors. The moment the Assassin turned into golden particles of light, the hoarse shouts of the crowd echoed throughout the arena, and those once hunched figures now appeared incredibly tall in the firelight.

Druid was astonished.

what is this?
Overthrow the ruler? Overthrow dictatorship and resist tyranny?

Have I become a dictator?

The rebels swept through like a hurricane, clearing Drew's hands and the field clean in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

Before leaving, the last rebel soldier even mockingly planted a flag in her empty field, as if to assert his sovereignty.

Druva: "."

"That's why I said, never underestimate the anger of a common man."

You Xuan smiled, then waved a card in his hand.

"Activate the equipment magic 'Demon Blade of the Soul Eater' and equip it to the 'United Resistance'."

The rebel leader raised his arm, and a blade gleaming with a dark, sinister aura fell into his hand.

"The Demon Blade of the Soul Eater can only be equipped on Normal Monsters of Level 3 or lower," Yu Xuan said. "When this card is activated, you can Tribute all Normal Monsters on your field except the equipped monster."

For every Normal Monster sacrificed through this effect, the equipped Monster's ATK increases by 1000!

The rebel leader raised his demonic sword high, its blade crackling with crimson arcs of electricity. He seemed to shout something like "For the new world!" His voice echoed across the battlefield. The ragged, starving people suddenly stopped fleeing. The oppressed masses gathered around, and the emaciated, sallow-faced starving people wiped away their tears. One by one, they knelt on the ground, willingly sacrificing themselves, transforming into golden particles of light.

These particles of light, like a reversed galaxy, surged wildly into the demonic blade. The general's armor shattered in the energy impact, revealing his back covered in whip marks. The demonic blade absorbed countless souls, its blade gradually becoming transparent, revealing countless pained yet resolute faces within. When the last old woman turned into a particle of light, the demonic blade erupted with a blinding crimson light, the general's roar mingling with the shouts of millions.

[United Resistance Army, Attack Power 1000 → Attack Power 3000]

Drouet was stunned.

In that instant, she truly felt as if she had become the villain, a tyrant who had oppressed the people for years and was utterly wicked. At that moment, the people rose up in rebellion, even sacrificing their own lives to put an end to her tyranny.
What is this? ?
The rebel general's eyes flashed with bloodlust, and the soul patterns on his demonic blade lit up. He gripped the blade with both hands and slashed forward fiercely, creating black cracks in the space where the blade cut through. Dark demonic flames surged out like a tsunami, and countless voices roared within the flames.

[Drova, LP2900 → LP0]
