Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1395 Giant Monster
"Show yourself, NO.9 Heavenly Canopy Star - Dyson Sphere!!!"

The two monsters vanished in the Xyz vortex, and V's line resonated powerfully. At that moment, Jonouchi felt the windows of his office tremble, as if the entire building beneath his feet was shaking.

But when he looked around and saw that the opposite field was still empty, he was at a loss.

"Are you being weird?"

The people within the city were puzzled.

Did the summoning fail? Why did the two monsters that were used as materials on the opponent's field disappear without anything happening?

But the next moment, his pupils contracted slightly, as if he had realized something.

Slowly and stiffly, the man turned his head to look out the window.

Then he saw the monster that V had summoned.

Or if that thing can still be called a "monster".

The night sky, which should have been dotted with stars, was now completely covered by a gigantic golden disc. It resembled countless golden wings pieced together, each wing flowing with luminous veins that pulsed rhythmically like blood vessels. These paths of light intertwined to form intricate geometric patterns, sometimes flashing like lightning, sometimes flickering like breath. Most breathtaking was its sheer size; looking out from the window on the thirty-eighth floor, the edge of this golden disc was invisible; it seemed to have suddenly replaced the entire sky.

At the very center of the circular disc, a jet-black sphere floats. All the golden beams converge towards it, forming a spiderweb-like web of chains on the sphere's surface. Occasionally, when a particularly bright beam of light flashes by, the entire building's electrical circuits groan, and computer screens collectively display garbled text, as if all the city's electronic devices were surrendering to it.

The city felt a bit suffocating.

"This thing is... your monster?"

This is fucking huge!

To be honest, Jonouchi considered himself to have seen a lot, having even seen the three Egyptian Gods. But in terms of sheer size, even gods couldn't compare to this thing. Even if all three gods were stacked together, they wouldn't be as big as this thing.

It was absolutely enormous; it was the largest monster he had ever seen.

Not only within the city, but the appearance of such a massive object outside the Haima Group building also attracted the attention of other citizens. Many gasped in amazement, some trembling as they raised their phones to film, only to find that the golden wheel in the lens was constantly changing shape, as if refusing to be bound by two-dimensional images. The video quickly went viral online, and citizens began to speculate whether Haima Group was testing some incredible new technology.

Jonouchi swallowed hard.

Calm down. Big doesn't necessarily mean good. This thing may be big, but it's probably not as powerful as a god.

I should stay calm and just stick to my duel.

"My turn, draw a card!" Jonouchi declared. "I summon 'Legendary Black Stone'!"

A mass of lava rose on his field, bubbling and gurgling with white smoke. A small, round, dark stone emerged from within it.

[The legendary Black Stone, attack power 0]

"The legendary Black Stone effect allows you to Special Summon a 'Red-Eyes' card of level 7 or lower from your Deck by Tributing this card!"
I unleash the 'legendary black stone,' reveal your soul!
A true red-eyed black dragon!!!

The black stone's surface rapidly became riddled with honeycomb-like holes, like a piece of coal forgotten in a corner of a battlefield. Suddenly, tiny sparks burst from the holes, and the stone's surface quickly became covered with spiderweb-like cracks. With a crisp "crack," as the first fragment peeled off, a golden-red light pierced out like a sharp sword. The entire stone shell exploded in the next second. A pillar of fire, like magma, shot into the sky, scorching and distorting the surrounding air. The pillar of fire twisted and expanded in mid-air, gradually outlining a ferocious silhouette. First, its unfolded black wings burned through the night, then its powerful tail swept out a trail of fire. As the flames dissipated like the receding tide, its jet-black scales reflected the moonlight, each scale's edge gleaming with a dark red, lava-like hue. The Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon slowly lowered its head, its scarlet vertical pupils blazing with an inextinguishable rage. When it opened its massive, gaping maw, a scorching dragon roar erupted, and a storm of heat, carrying the smell of sulfur, swept through the enclosed space.

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

"A true red-eyed black dragon." V frowned slightly. "So it's a legendary monster."

"Oh? Is Red-Eyes a legendary monster in your dimension?"

Some within the city were quite pleased with themselves.

"However, my Red-Eyes evolution has never stopped! I then release 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon,' and this monster in my hand can be Special Summoned. Appear—"

—Red-Eyed Black Dragon!!!

As if tempered by high temperatures and lava, the pressure of life and death allowed the black dragon to evolve rapidly. Its body seemed to become even blacker, its long tail seemed to have barbs, and the black flames in its mouth transformed into a black pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky!
[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

"Battle!" Jonouchi shouted. "Red-Eyes Black Dragon, attack 'NO.9 Sky Cover Star - Dyson Sphere'!"

The black dragon roared, and the roar was like a surging wave of black flames that burst out in the direction of V.

"Why attack when your attack power is clearly insufficient?" V frowned slightly, seemingly realizing that something was amiss.

No, before this, the opponent sacrificed the "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" to summon this sub-black dragon, but the attack power of the two dragons is clearly the same. This alone is enough to determine that there is definitely something wrong with this dragon.

Jonouchi chuckled and said, "I'll be merciful and tell you. The effect of Red-Eyes Black Dragon is that when this card is destroyed by battle or by an opponent's card effect, you can revive one Red-Eyes from your Graveyard onto the field."

If this effect revives a 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon', then the Red-Eyes Black Dragon's original attack power will double!

"I see," V said, suddenly understanding.

If the Red-Eyes Black Dragon were to crash into the Dyson Sphere and die, Jonouchi would only lose a negligible 400 HP. However, in exchange, he would gain a super-enhanced version of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon with an attack power of 4,800, capable of taking down the Dyson Sphere in one hit and dealing massive damage to V.

After seeing through the tactics, V was no longer flustered and just smiled lightly.

"Then, Dyson ball, let's hit it back."

The golden light, like a dense rain, pushed back the Red-Eyes Black Flame. The Red-Eyes Black Dragon was engulfed by the golden light and instantly pierced into fragments within the sea of ​​light.

【Within the city, LP4000 → LP3600】

"At this moment, the effect of Red-Eyes Black Dragon activates, resurrecting 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon' from the graveyard!"

There was a lot of shouting in the city.

"Come back, my soul, red-eyed!"
Furthermore, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon's attack power has doubled!
