Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1404 Gene Plunder
One strike to wipe out the entire enemy!
As the two cards bounced back into his hand, the half of his face outside the mask turned almost green.

WTF! ?
All monsters on the field return to your hand? One punch wipes them all out?
"Wait a minute. Then why is your monster unharmed?!" the throne asked. "And your monster's attack power is only 0, meaning it took no combat damage."

“No,” You Xuan said. “The Time Machine God Beast cannot be destroyed in battle, and the combat damage it receives is also 0.”

Yubel, in his intangible state, burst out laughing: "Heh, so it really is a monster of the same type as me."

“Yeah, that’s true.” Jaden seemed to find it amusing as well. “It can’t destroy or harm anything, and it blows away all the monsters on the opponent’s field with one punch. It seems even more powerful than you, Yubel!”

Sister You, who had been all smiles, immediately fell silent upon hearing this, and gave a stiff snort: "That's not necessarily true. No matter how strong it is, it's just a monster, but true strength is determined by much more than that."

“Indeed.” Jaden nodded, seemingly understanding. “The strength of a Spirit isn’t just about a single card; it’s about all the support Spell & Trap cards, the derived forms, the Series Monsters, and so on. All of these combined represent its true power.”

At this moment, You Xuanzheng continued, "It's not over yet. Time Machine God Metaion has other effects as well."

After this card bounces all monsters on the opponent's field back to their hand, this effect inflicts 300 damage to the controller for each card bounced back.

Two Herald Beasts just bounced back, so please accept this 600 points of damage.

【Alabaster Seat, LP4000→ LP3400】

The jade throne gave a soft snort, taking the hit: "This level."

Yugen: "Then activate the Trap Card 'Magician's Words' from your hand." (Anime Card)
The Jade Throne's expression changed again: "A trap from your hand!?"

This combination is also the same combo that ZONE used in the anime, and the reactions of the onlookers at the time were similar to those of the Emperor.

You Xuan felt like he was cosplaying ZONE God, and said calmly, "The Magician's Words can be activated from your hand during your turn."

During the turn this is activated, for each card on the field that is bounced back to its owner's hand, that owner must take 300 damage. Just now, your field had 'Emblem Beast Abelconway' and 'Emblem Beast Two-Headed Serpent' bounced back, therefore an additional 600 damage is dealt.

Another black bolt of lightning struck from the trap, hitting the jade throne directly. The small body of the throne staggered backward again, looking as if it would be blown away by a storm.

【Alabaster Seat, LP3400→ LP2800】

The emperor remained silent, his face dark with displeasure.

You Xuan: "Two cards are face down. The turn is over."

Jade Throne: "My turn, draw a card!"

"I activate the Spell Card 'Adversity'. If I control no monsters and my opponent controls a Special Summoned monster, I draw two cards from my Deck!" (Original Card)
Yu Zuo drew two cards, while giving Meta Ian on the field a rather serious look.

The Time Machine God is an impenetrable lump of iron that bounces back across the entire battlefield after a battle, making it a truly terrifying creature.

But his throne is no pushover either; his emblem deck has ways to counter it.

"The effect of 'Emblem Beast - Two-Headed Serpent,' which you just bounced back into your hand, is activated!" the throne said. "Two-Headed Serpent can be Special Summoned from your hand by discarding one other 'Emblem Beast' from your hand."

I discard 'Emblem Beast Abelconway,' which you also bounced back to my hand last turn, and Special Summon the Two-Headed Serpent once again! The serpentine body emerged onto the field, with a head protruding from the top and a head from the bottom, both flicking their tongues and emitting a chilling hiss.

【Heral Beast - Two-Headed Serpent, Attack Power 1700】

"Then, summon 'Heral Beast - Two-Headed Eagle'!"

Clearly, there are many two-headed animals in the Heraldry series. This time, a purple eagle appears, also with two heads. The eagle's eyes are sharp as knives, surveying the area like a hunter searching for prey.

【Heral Beast - Two-Headed Eagle, Attack Power 1700】

"Now we have two level four monsters. Are you ready?!"

The jade throne revealed a strange smile that was somewhere between an innocent child and a sinister old thief, and the tender white hands of the young boy waved under his sleeves.

Stack up the level 4 'Emblem Beast - Two-Headed Eagle' and 'Emblem Beast - Two-Headed Serpent'!
Two monsters form an overlapping network, Xyz Summon!

A massive golden heraldic array appeared on the ground before the throne, from which countless surging fragments of light poured forth, rearranging and merging in the void before finally coalescing into a burning "NO.8" number. This number branded the surrounding air like a hot iron, each stroke vibrating at a high frequency.

The throne: "Show yourself! No. 8 Emblem Beast - Genome Inheritor!!!"

A purple energy ring burst forth from the center of the mark, expanding outwards in a spiral. The plasma that exploded when the rings collided released energy in the twisted form of a DNA double helix. At the moment the final energy ring contracted, all the free-floating crystalline dust suddenly collapsed towards the center. A sound like iron hooves hitting the ground followed, and the Genome Inheritor leaped out of the energy vortex.

[NO.8 Emblem Beast - Genome Inheritor, Attack Power 2200]

"NO! And it looks like a really formidable opponent!" Jaden rubbed his hands together. "This guy's ace has arrived too."

"Whether he's an ace or not is still unknown."

Yubel paused for a moment, then said.

"Well, it does look like a bad guy, though."

Jade Throne laughed heartily: "Time Machine God? Cannot be destroyed? Useless before the inheritors of the genome!"

The No.8 Genome Inheritor has three effects; I will choose one to activate!

The effect of this card is: remove 1 Xyz Material, and until the end of this turn, negate the effects of 1 face-up Attack Position monster your opponent controls; this card also gains the original effect of that monster!

In the anime, the three effects of Genome Inheritor each require removing one Xyz Material to activate. They are: removing one material to reduce the ATK of the monster battling this card to 0 and giving yourself the opponent's original ATK; removing one material to negate and steal the opponent's monster effect; and removing one material to steal the opponent's card name when they declare an attack—gaining the opponent's card name and changing the opponent's monster card name to "Unknown".

This is clearly a monster whose primary function is "plundering," named "Genetic Inheritor," whose effect is essentially to plunder the genes of its opponents. It can steal their attack power, effects, and even their name.

After being released as a physical card, the three effects are combined into one. By simply removing one material, you can simultaneously steal the opponent's ATK, effect, and card name. At first glance, this seems like an enhancement, but unfortunately, the physical card version only works against Xyz Monsters. Once you encounter an opponent other than an Xyz Monster, it instantly becomes a vanilla monster and is useless.

"I'll accept the effect of the Time Machine God!" the throne laughed heartily. "And your effect is now nullified!"
