Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1399 Flames Within the Infinite Castle

Jonouchi instantly understood why the opponent chose to attack first and then use the effect.

First, fight and absorb Jonouchi's Red-Eyes. This will give the Chaos Dyson Sphere two materials, increasing its effect damage to 1000 points, which is just enough to finish it off.

"You've got a good plan, but I, Jonouchi, won't fall so easily!" Jonouchi said. "Activate the face-down card, the trap card 'Energy Absorber'!"

This card allows you to convert damage dealt to yourself into health regeneration!

A massive absorption plate appeared at the last second, converting all the energy from the Dyson Sphere's attack into energy that was absorbed into Jonouchi's body, narrowly saving his life.

【Within the city, LP800 → LP1800】

Jonouchi wiped the sweat from his brow: "Phew, that was close! I almost got killed."

V said, "If you think that's all there is to it, then you're underestimating the Chaos Dyson Sphere."

"What?!" Jonouchi's expression changed again.

"The other effect of Chaos Dyson Sphere activates!" V shouted, "By removing all of this card's Xyz Materials, inflict 800 damage to your opponent for each Xyz Material!"

Jonouchi: "!"

Again? More blood burning?

"Remove both Xyz Materials from the Dyson Sphere, take this!" V shouted. "1600 damage!"

The two pieces of Xyz Material were both sucked into the core of the Dyson Sphere, seemingly transformed into energy to fill it. A barrage of fire erupted, red beams raining down like a dense drizzle upon the city, creating a series of deafening explosions across his field.

【Within the city, LP1800 → LP200】

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The entire city was blown into the air, then crashed to the ground with a thud, wincing in pain.

"Damn it, you really dared to do that!"

Jōnei was rubbing his buttocks.

Before the upgrade, it was an attack blockade plus a direct face-to-face assault; after the upgrade, it's a bull monster plus blood-burning. Why is the style of this thing so different from most of the other NOs he's heard of?

Oh, and by the way, the Dyson Sphere is also really big and cool, quite stylish.

Handsome yet withdrawn. A strange thought suddenly came to Jonouchi's mind as he thought of this, and the handsome face of a certain sunny dueling king appeared in his mind.

Suddenly I feel like that guy might really like this No. 1.
"Of course, I haven't forgotten that you also have the 'Time Magician' on your court," V said casually.

Although the Time Magician is theoretically a matter of luck, and a 50/50 chance of it not working could be disastrous for the operator, V instinctively felt that he couldn't trust that 50/50 probability at this moment.

Facing this person, we must consider the Time Magician's effect as "destroying all monsters on the opponent's field once per turn," which poses a significant threat and must be dealt with.

"Activate the spell card 'Ground Shatter'!"

V plays a spell card from his hand.

"Destroy the opponent's monster with the highest Defense!"

It was said to be the monster with the highest defense, but there was only one monster on the field in Jonouchi at the moment. Therefore, needless to say, the Time Magician was instantly blown to pieces.

"The round is over."

Having reached this point, V was quite confident.

"Your life points are already at their limit. No matter what monster you summon, it will be absorbed by the Dyson Sphere," V said calmly. "Once it absorbs an Xyz Material, the Dyson Sphere will activate its effect again next turn to deal damage, and that will be the end of it."

I won!

V felt victory was already in hand.

“Indeed, it seems like this is the last round no matter what.” Jonouchi shook his head, stood up, and laughed. “But it’s quite a pity for you.”

V was taken aback: "What?"

“You were so close, you would have won in your next turn,” Jonouchi said with a smile, rubbing his nose. “It’s a shame, there are no more turns for you.”

V: "???"

Is this guy serious?
In this situation, how could someone actually declare victory by instantly killing themselves in this round?

"My turn, draw a card!" Jonouchi smiled. "That Yugen guy always has some ingenious ideas, so let me test it out."

You lent me your power, You Xuan.

If you have no monsters on your field, you can Special Summon this card from your hand.

I hereby Special Summon 'Unknown Synchron'!

[Unknown Synchron, Attack Power 0]

“Then I activate the face-down card, the Trap Card ‘Red-Eyes Soul,’ which can revive Red-Eyes from the Graveyard!” Jonouchi said. “I Special Summon ‘Red-Eyes Black Dragon’ from the Graveyard!”

Last turn, it was first used as an Xyz Material by the Bull, and then it was sent to the Graveyard as an Xyz Material again. Now, Red-Eyes Black Dragon has been resurrected on the field of Joey Wheeler.

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

"Then, Normal Summon 'Legendary Blackstone' which was returned to your hand last turn!"

[The legendary Black Stone, attack power 0]

"Black Stone's effect activates again. Tribute Black Stone to Special Summon a Level 7 or lower Red-Eyes from the Deck," Jonouchi said. "Special Summon a Level 7 'Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon' from the Deck!"

[Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

"Two monsters, Rank 7, namely 'Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon' and 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon', are stacked on top of each other!"

"Stacked!?"

V was completely dumbfounded. What happened to this supposedly fusion dimension? What happened to being a primitive being a generation behind us?
Why would he exceed the limit?!
"Two monsters have formed an overlapping network, Xyz Summon! Appear—"

—Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon!!!

[Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon, Attack Power 2800]

“Red-Eyed Steel Flame Dragon.” V said solemnly.

They had never even seen the Xyz form evolved from the legendary monster "Red-Eyes" in their Xyz Dimension.

Does such an overpowered monster actually exist in this dimension?
"Steel Flame Dragon's effect activated! Remove 1 Xyz Material and Special Summon a 'Red-Eyes' Normal Monster from your Graveyard."

I'll remove one of the materials from the Steel Flame Dragon and revive it from the graveyard once more!

A true red-eyed black dragon!

A black material surrounding the graveyard was swallowed whole by the Steel Flame Dragon. Then, the Steel Flame Dragon roared, and transparent black flames erupted from the graveyard, transforming once again into the form of the hardworking Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

[Red-Eyes Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

"Then there's the Level 1 Tuner monster 'Unknown Synchron'!"
"Level 7 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon,' adjust its star level!"

【1+7=8】

"The dark king who plunges the world into darkness and subdues demons—"

—Level 8, Demon Lord Dragon Lord of Flies, Synchro Summon!!!

[Demon King Dragon - Fly King, Attack Power 3000]

Synchro Summon!?

V was utterly astonished.

What's going on? It's not just an overdose, but also something called homology?

What happened to our generation being lagging behind? What happened to still being stuck in the ancient version that "integration is the most advanced method"?
Why would they possess a power that doesn't even exist in their Hyperdimensional Dimension?
Demon King Dragon - Fly King, of course, was also brought back by Yu Xuan from the Synchro Dimension. After all, he was once the head of the Public Security Bureau and even served as Emperor Taiyi for a while, so his card pool was quite rich.

Of course, this was only a temporary loan to Jonouchi. One reason was that Yugen wanted Jonouchi to test the newly printed "Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon," and designed this interesting combination for that purpose. The second reason was also to test the energy data reactions of various aspects when native duelists in the Fusion Dimension used "Synchro Summoning," excluding himself.

"Use Synchro and Xyz simultaneously in one turn."

At this moment, V's heart was in turmoil, but he was still able to barely maintain his composure.

Calm down. Right now, whether it's Xyz or Synchro, neither of these monsters seems to be a match for the Dyson Sphere. The fact that its life points are dwindling remains unchanged.
“By activating the Spell Card ‘Spy of the Purple Flame,’ you can transfer control of one of your monsters to your opponent,” Jonouchi said. “I’m giving you control of my ‘Demon King Dragon Lord of Flies’!”

V: "???"

You're giving me this super powerful Synchro Ace?
This is no weakling that can be exploited. Demon King Dragon Fly King, with an attack power of 3,000 from eight-star Synchro Synchro, is equivalent to the combat power of Blue-Eyes White Dragon. It also has a kingly and domineering appearance, and is stronger than the "Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon" that is still on the field in Jonouchi.

Such a powerful monster was given to me for free?

V began to feel bewildered, and even the shock of "seeing Synchro and Xyz simultaneously in one turn" was somewhat overshadowed.

What is this going to do?
"Now the preparations are complete, and this is the last card to complete this set!"

Jonouchi played the "forbidden card" he used when he turned to the dark side, a key card from a famous scene that has been abused by countless parodies and edited videos over the years.

"Spell Card 'Fireball'!"

Simple, straightforward, and direct: "Deal 500 damage to the opponent." There are no upfront costs or follow-up effects; one card for 500 health points—that's how capricious it is.

[V, LP1800 → LP1300]

V continued to frown.

So you lost 500 HP, and then what? What's the point?

“At this moment, the effect of the Demon King Dragon Fly King that I gave you has activated,” Jonouchi laughed. “When your opponent—from your perspective, which is the effect of the card I activated—takes damage, the Fly King’s ATK increases by the amount of that damage.”

[Demon King Dragon - Fly King, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 3500]

V was even more confused.

Not content with just giving me monsters, do you have to keep giving me attack power too?

What kind of philanthropist is this? Is this how you play cards?

"But at that moment, my 'Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon' effect also activated!" Jonouchi said. "Steel Flame Dragon deals 500 damage to the opponent every time they activate a spell, trap, or monster effect!"

V. Pupil constriction.

He's a smart man, and in fact, the strongest duelist among the three brothers. Even the legendary second male lead, Kaito Amagi, was a disciple he personally trained.

But it is precisely because he is intelligent that he can immediately understand the situation at hand.

The Steel Flame Dragon's effect is activated, dealing him 500 damage.

When he is injured, Demon Dragon Fly King can absorb the attack power of that damage, increasing his attack power by 500 points.

Then, because the Fly King activated its effect, Steelix dealt another 500 damage.

Then, because it suffered damage again, the Fly King's attack power increased by another 500 points.
These two dragons, working together from the inside and outside, one on the opposite side and the other on this side, combined their strength to achieve a perpetual motion machine-like loop, similar to "left foot stepping on right foot".

The end result is that, in this endless cycle, the Demon Dragon Fly King can eventually reach infinite attack power, but it's all for naught, because it's obvious that V will no longer have the opportunity to command this infinitely attacking dragon to launch an attack.

Because before that, he would first suffer immense damage from the Steel Flame Dragon.
"That's right, after countless cycles, Red-Eyes Steelix will inflict infinite damage on you!"

Jonouchi raised his hand excitedly.

"Only the combination of harmony and excess can achieve such a perfect combination. Eat up an infinite number of combinations and then shut yourself off!"
Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon, Flames Within the Infinite Castle—

[V, LP1300 → LP0]
