Chapter 1363 The Beetle Kills in One Go
"Damn's effect: I equipped Damn with 'Beetle Assembly - Bumblebee' from the graveyard."

You Xuanliang brought out Bumblebee.

Although he wasn't summoned, the card he displayed projected the image of a warrior wearing a wasp-style exoskeleton armor. However, this warrior appeared in the Spell Trap Zone, instantly transforming from an armored humanoid into a handheld wasp weapon, which ended up in the hands of the damselfly.

Kaito frowned: "Turn monsters into Equip Cards?"

"That's right. It can be used as a warrior or transformed into a weapon. That's the soul of the Beetle Mech." You Xuan smiled.

Do you even understand the value of insects modifying humans?
"When used as an equipment card, 'Beetle Assembly - Bumblebee' can increase the level of the equipped monster by 3 stars and also increase Bumblebee's own ATK and DEF."

The Beetle's attack power is 500, therefore the Damselfly's attack power increases by 500 points.

[Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly, Attack Power 1000 → Attack Power 1500]

Jonouchi: "Damn it, even with the increased attack power, it's still no match for that No. 1?"

Kaito, however, was far from optimistic: "No, your goal isn't just a mere 500 points of attack power. This combination has other hidden abilities, right?"

"Really perceptive," You Xuan said. "The effect of Beetle Mechanic: Bumblebee. When equipped as an Equip Card, you can destroy any card on the field by sending this card to the Graveyard!"

Damselfly's mechanical wings vibrated rapidly, and the armored Bumblebee suit on her right arm unfolded layer by layer, revealing a honeycomb-structured launcher. With a piercing charging sound, Bumblebee transformed into a bee-shaped missile crackling with high-voltage electricity and roared out. Shiraishi attempted to block it with his sword, but it was utterly futile. Bumblebee struck the knight's breastplate, creating dazzling plasma sparks. The number NO.10 twisted and melted in the intense heat, and the warhorse, with a mournful cry, dissipated into particles of light.

“It uses Bumblebee’s effect, not battle destruction, so even a ‘NO.’ monster can be destroyed,” Yu Xuan laughed. “If you think that a ‘NO.’ monster wouldn’t be so easy to remove while it’s present, you might be disappointed.”

Kaito frowned and remained silent.

Indeed, he hadn't expected "NO." to fall so quickly. It seemed the opponent was already very familiar with and adept at dealing with NO.'s general resistance; they were not an opponent to be underestimated.

"It's not over yet. The card that just destroyed yours activated the effect of Bumblebee, which was equipped with it," Yu Xuan said. "At the same time, now that the equipped card is sent to the graveyard, Damselfly's effect has also been triggered."

"Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly: If any of your Equip Cards are sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon 1 monster with 'Beetle Mechanic' in its name from your Deck, except 'Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly'!"

Kaito: "!"

Bumblebee's effect can actively send cards to the graveyard to destroy them, while simultaneously triggering Damoe's effect to Special Summon cards from the Deck. Destroying your opponent's cards and destroying your own monsters—this simple combination can quickly create a resource advantage.

However, what Douzi didn't know was that what he saw was only half of the Beetle's basic combo.

Yu Xuan continued his actions: "Based on the effect of the Bean Maiden, Special Summon 'Beetle Machine Centipede' from the Deck!"

The golden light emanating from the deck landed on the ground, transforming into a new beetle-like mech warrior. Its entire body was covered in dark red, segmented armor, each plate edged with serrated barbs, emitting a sickening metallic scraping sound as it moved. Its massive centipede pincers were lined with spirally arranged cutting teeth, spewing out high-pressure steam when they opened and closed.

[Beetle-Mounted Centipede, Attack Power 1600]

Kaito frowned: "Another new beetle-themed machine."

“The centipede’s effect is activated.” You Xuan said, “Beetle Mechanic Centipede can equip itself with one ‘Beetle Mechanic’ monster from its hand or graveyard as an Equip Card once per turn during its Main Phase.”

I equipped the Centipede with the 'Beetle Assembly - Bumblebee' again from the cemetery.

Bumblebee, who had just committed a suicide attack and traded one life for one with NO.10 Enlightener, was pulled out of the graveyard again and transformed into equipment and put on the centipede's body.

"You got Bumblebee from the graveyard again?" Kaito's expression changed slightly. "What's the effect of that thing?" "Not bad."

You Xuan snapped his fingers.

"Bumblebee has been re-equipped and is back on the field, so as an equipped Bumblebee, it can once again be effective."

Destroy any card on the field by sending an equipped Bumblebee to the Graveyard.

The ammunition was reloaded, and Bumblebee fired again, once more from its comrade's hand. A golden afterimage trailed through the air as it hurtled towards one of Kaito's two face-down cards in the back row.

"You destroyed my NO., and now you're targeting Gaika. Are you trying to completely dismantle my defenses before launching a final assault?"

Kaito said in a deep voice.

"Then activate the face-down card, the trap card 'Pandora's Treasure'!"
When a card in your Spell & Trap Zone becomes the target of an opponent's card effect, transfer that target to this card, then draw two cards from your Deck! (Original card)
The bumblebee, mid-flight, suddenly changed direction and crashed headfirst into Pandora's magic card, shattering it to pieces. Kaito seized the opportunity to draw two cards.

"I see, so there are anti-bombing measures in place in the back." You Xuan nodded slightly. "Not bad."

Kaito: "."

You Xuan smiled and continued, "Then next is the effect of 'Beetle Assembly Centipede'."

If the equipment card on the centipede is sent to the graveyard, the centipede's effect is also triggered, and you can add one 'Beetle Assembly' card from your deck to your hand.

"The card I'm adding to my hand from the deck is 'Beetle Mech - Giga Mantis'."

You Xuan then revealed another card that he had retrieved.

Kaito gritted his teeth.

Here we go again. They blew up my card, and then they can still access my data.
In one turn, Bumblebee unleashed two consecutive bombs, triggering both a Special Summon and a card search in the deck. This smooth combo created a huge resource advantage in the very first turn.

“Following the effect of ‘Beetle Assembly - Giga Mantis’,” Yu Xuan said, “Giga Mantis can be equipped directly from the hand as an Equip Card to one ‘Beetle Assembly’ monster on the field.”

I equipped 'Gigantamax Mantis' as an equipment card to 'Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly'.

A giant green beetle-shaped mecha warrior appeared on the field, its form rapidly transforming into an armed form in mid-air before landing in the hands of the damsel.

"The monster equipped by Beetle Assembly - Jika Mantis has its attack power directly increased to the same 2400 points as Jika Mantis."

[Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly, Attack Power 1000 → Attack Power 2400]

Kaito: "!"

The damselfly's attack power becomes 2400, and the centipede's attack power is 1600, which together result in a total output of 4000.

This formation is...
The beetle was installed and killed in one go!
