Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1364 Galaxy Kuriboh

The total output is exactly four thousand!

Kaito's face darkened; he had now realized the terrifying nature of this deck called "Beetle Machine".

Damselfly equips Bumblebee, Bumblebee destroys cards, Damselfly Special Summons Centipede, Centipede equips Bumblebee again, Bumblebee destroys cards again, Centipede searches for Jaguar Mantis, and Mantis equips Damselfly.

This basic combo can achieve two consecutive bombs and continuous searching, and the final attack will exactly four thousand points, which can be used to kill in the blink of an eye.

"I heard you are the strongest duelist in Heart City."

You Xuan laughed.

"If it ends that easily, I'll be disappointed."

Kaito: "."

"Battle!" You Xuan said. "Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly, attack directly!"

At this moment, the power of the damselfly, having obtained the Mantis equipment, was also dramatically upgraded. As she pounced forward, the blade in her hand drew a transparent curve, and thousands of raindrops suspended in the sky were cut by the blade, forming an arc-shaped water line that rushed straight toward Kaito.

Kaito, as expected, had a countermeasure: "Then at this moment, discard 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from your hand, and its effect will activate!"

A burst of starlight, seemingly from the Milky Way, appeared on Kaito's arena, gathering and coalescing into the shape of a loyal Kuriboh, which blew "Kuriri" twice and bounced around in front of Kaito.

Yes, there's a Kuriboh with a galactic field. Kaito, the second male lead in Z4's legendary series, even has his own personal Kuriboh. The protagonist's treatment is undeniably good.

"When your opponent declares an attack, you can discard a card from your hand to activate its effect. Special Summon one 'Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon' from your hand or Deck!"

As he spoke, the tiny "Galaxy Kuriboh" that had appeared on the field had already disintegrated into specks of light. These scattered particles of light rapidly recombine in the air, condensing into a giant cross-shaped dart. Kaito leaped up to catch the dart, then threw this domineering weapon into the sky.

Kaito: "O galaxy that shines in the darkness, become the light of hope within me! The embodiment of light descends here—"

"Show yourself, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"

The dart spun, tracing a spiral trajectory, before exploding into billions of diamond-like stars at its highest point. These light particles multiplied wildly, first constructing a dragon skeleton formed from pure energy, its bones seemingly flowing with nebula patterns. Then, a torrent of blue-white photons began to weave muscles, and when the translucent dragon wings were fully extended, the projection of the entire Milky Way galaxy appeared on the wing membranes.

Its crystal-like eyelids opened, and tiny black holes swirled in the dragon's eyes, which seemed to reflect an entire galaxy.

[Galaxy-Eye Photon Dragon, Attack Power 3000]

"Galaxy-Eye?" Jonouchi said solemnly. "It feels incredibly powerful. Is this monster also a spirit with extraordinary abilities?"

Kaito's Galaxy Eyes isn't "NO.", but as the story progresses, it becomes clearer that this dragon is indeed an extraordinary Pokémon. Especially when it confronts the other Galaxy Eyes, "Galaxy Eyes Time Dragon," held by one of the Varia Seven Emperors, the resonance between the two dragons demonstrates that both possess abilities far exceeding those of ordinary Pokémon.

“Galactic Kuriboh has another effect,” Kaito said. “After summoning Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon with Galactic Kuriboh, the opponent’s monsters have to switch their attacks to Galaxy-Eyes!”

You Xuan said, "I see. It means that my attack cannot stop either."

Kaito: "Feel the wrath of the Galaxy Eye, and then burn to ashes!"

"Go! Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's Counterattack! Annihilation Photon Stream!"

The Galaxy-Eyed Photon Dragon raised its head, and blinding blue light burst forth from between the gaps in its scales. This light surged toward its mouth like a living thing, coalescing into a spinning stellar core between its fangs. The sphere of light spun faster and faster, its interior constantly collapsing and expanding, its surface pulsating with lightning-like turbulent energy currents.

As the energy reached its critical point, a roar like the dawn of the universe resounded from the depths of the dragon's throat. The sphere that had devoured all light suddenly stretched, transforming into a vast, azure torrent that pierced the heavens and the earth.

Annihilation Photon Stream!

The balance of power instantly reversed again. This time, it was Bean Girl who was suddenly attacked by Galaxy Eye, and she was about to be annihilated along with her equipment.

But You Xuan also had another move: "Then at this moment, activate the quick-attack spell 'Duel Fusion' from your hand!"
This card activates during battle, allowing the monsters you control to gain an ATK equal to the opponent's monsters' ATK, only during the battle! (Original effect)

The physical card release added a restriction that only Fusion Monsters could be used, but the original anime version featured in GX did not have this restriction. The Duel Fusion in the anime is like a quick-play version of Ernest without attribute restrictions.

Kaito's expression changed again: "What?!"

This guy actually had a backup plan.
[Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly, Attack Power 2400 → Attack Power 5400]

The devastating photon stream crashed down, only to be completely absorbed by the Damselfly. The Damselfly brandished her Mantis Armor and launched a counterattack, the domineering energy instantly pushing back and engulfing the Galaxy Eye's own photon stream, engulfing the Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon within it.

Kaito gritted his teeth: "Then let's activate the other effect of 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from the graveyard!"
If a 'Galaxy' or 'Photon' monster on your field is destroyed by battle or effect, you can banish 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from your Graveyard in lieu of destruction!

The Kuriboh card in his graveyard was removed. Kaito revealed the card, and the tiny Kuriboh reappeared steadily on the field, coming to Galaxy Eyes to share the impact damage.

"I've removed 'Galaxy Kuriboh' from the graveyard, nullifying the destruction of 'Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon'!"

With the help of Kuriboh, Galaxy Eye barely managed to withstand the bombardment. However, the shockwave that swept over it continued its relentless advance, knocking Kaito to the ground.

"You defended well," You Xuan said with a smile, "but you still have to accept the damage from combat."

【Kaito, LP4000 → LP1600】

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Jonouchi silently commented to himself.

This was the first time You Xuan had seen this deck today, but in just one encounter, he couldn't help but deeply admire its fierce offensive power.

However, the fact that he was able to defend against such relentless attacks and successfully keep his trump card on the field shows that this otherworldly youth is indeed not to be underestimated.

In a single round, it seemed as if the offense and defense of an ordinary duel had been exchanged throughout, as if a single moment of carelessness in such a duel would result in instant annihilation.

"I still have 'Beetle Assembly Centipede' left to attack, but since Galaxy Eye hasn't been destroyed, Centipede is no match for Galaxy Eye. I'm done fighting, battle phase over."

You Xuan said casually.

"Set one card face down, and the turn ends."
