Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1405 Insulting Attack

The throne: "Genomics inheritor, accept the genes of the Time Machine God!"

Sure enough, the next moment, a double helix structure resembling DNA was torn from the Time Machine God's body, and Metaion's figure immediately dimmed, the flames on his shoulders extinguishing as well. Meanwhile, the Genome Inheritor's body seemed to be burning, and his aura instantly intensified significantly.

"False gods, get out of here immediately!" the throne declared. "Genetic inheritors, attack the Time Machine God Metaion whose teeth have been pulled!"

Without its effects, the Time Machine God is nothing more than a blank card with zero attack, utterly powerless against an opponent's charge.

Yu Xuan snapped his fingers: "Then activate the face-down card, the trap card 'Monster Swap'."

When your opponent declares an attack, return any monsters you control to your hand, then Special Summon one Level 4 monster from your hand.

The Jade Throne: "Trying to escape?"

"Escape is too harsh a term; this should be called a tactical substitution," You Xuan smiled. "Based on the effect of 'Monster Swap,' I return 'Time Machine God Metaion' to my hand, and then Special Summon this card (Level 4 or lower) from my hand."

He revealed the monster card in his hand.

"Special Summon Level 1 Chrono Angel!" (Original Card)
[Time-Machine Angel, Attack Power 0]

"A monster with 0 attack power in attack position?"

The emperor frowned, seemingly sensing a trap, and hesitated for a moment.

The number of monsters on the field changed during the battle, which should have indicated a battle rollback. At this point, he should have been able to recall his monsters and abandon the attack.

"What, scared now? Not planning to keep attacking?" You Xuan laughed.

The jade throne squinted its eyes.

"Bluster. In that case, I'll accept the challenge!" The throne waved its hand. "Go, genome inheritor! There's nothing to be afraid of, keep attacking!"

"Crush that 'Time-Machine Angel'!"

The genome inheritor, having absorbed the genes of the Time Machine God, was now unstoppable. His entire body seemed to be enveloped in dark red flames as he transformed into a red comet and charged forward at incredible speed. The Time Machine Angel, who had absolutely no combat ability, was instantly smashed to pieces, his frail body falling apart in an instant.

The emperor sneered, "Heh, just as I thought, a mere bluff. Such insignificant fodder."

But the next moment, a large number of blue light patterns suddenly burst forth from the point where the Time Angel's body exploded and disintegrated, swirling and rising like liquid aurora. Where this wave swept across, the mark "NO.8" flickered violently in the blue light, and the edges of the number began to disintegrate into pixels. The energy field around the Genome Inheritor contracted and distorted like an oil film upon contact with water, and its entire existence was gradually washed away by the blue light, becoming transparent.

As the fluctuations reached their peak, they suddenly condensed into countless blue crystal chains, which clattered and entangled the fading figure, pulling it back forcefully. The Genome Inheritor let out a low growl, transforming back into a card and flying back into the Jade Throne's hand. Within the exploding blue light, the afterimage of the Herald Beast's dissipation remained, like a swarm of blue fireflies scattered by the wind.

"What?!" The throne was shocked. "My genetic heir... why?"

"The effect of Time Angel is that when this card is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard while in Attack Position, all monsters on the field are returned to their owners' hands," Yu Xuan explained with a smile.

The jade throne curled its lip and scoffed.

The cards bounce back to your hand, it's always bouncing them back to your hand. Can't you do something else?
The jade throne's face darkened for a few seconds, then it said, "But in that case, combat damage still needs to be calculated!"

The throne declared, "Don't try to fool me. Don't think I can get away with this by making up stories just because I forgot. The attack from the Genome Inheritor will still deal a massive 2200 points of damage; even if the attacker is knocked back, it's enough to reduce the opponent's health to a sliver."
Yu Xuan: "Because I activated the face-down card, the trap card 'Guardian Barrier'."

Reduce the battle damage dealt to my side to 0, then draw one card from my deck.

Yu Xuan drew a card. "It knocked away my monster without even dealing any damage," the throne sneered. "Is this how a king fights? How ruthless."

Jaden, however, chuckled and said, "That's not right. What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. I think you have absolutely no idea how brutal the King's duels are."

You Xuan said helplessly, "What you're saying makes it sound like I'm some kind of evil demon king, and that fighting me is like accepting execution."

“Yes! That’s the feeling!” Judai said.

Amyrlin: "."

Are these two trying to scare me by singing in unison?
But his throne wasn't built on fear.

"The round is over," said the throne.

Jaden: "Huh? You're just going to end this without summoning any monsters or setting any cards? Is that really okay? You have an empty field."

The jade throne rolled its eyes at him.

Bullshit! My ace was just bounced away by that idiot mechanical angel. Are you blind? You think I like empty stadiums?
If I still have cards to play, why would I skip them?
However, he wasn't so careless as to let the opportunity pass by without any basis. After observing the situation, he seemed to have guessed the details of the opponent's mech deck.

This deck, themed around "Time Machines," seems to primarily consist of 0-attack monsters. While the fact that it can't be destroyed by battle and doesn't take damage is rather frustrating, and the ability to knock out the opponent's entire board with a single punch while also burning their health is a bit of a nightmare, it's clear that this isn't a deck designed for direct combat.

Yu Zuo thought that if he was right, most of the monsters in this deck would probably have 0 attack.

Last turn, although the opponent retrieved "Time Machine God Metaion" from their hand, Metaion can only deal damage if a monster is on the opponent's field and it blows away the monster. If the opponent's field is empty, Metaion's 0 ATK stats should pose no threat whatsoever.

"My turn, draw a card," You Xuan said. "Activate the spell card 'Pot of Greed' and draw two cards from my deck."

"Then activate the face card, the Continuous Trap 'Void Machine'!"
If you have no monsters on your field, you can Tribute Summon a Level 10 or higher monster directly from your hand without Tributing! However, as a trade-off, while this Continuous Trap is on the field, all monsters you control have their ATK reduced to 0! (Original effect)

A golden ring appeared in the night sky, within which churned a dark chaos as dark as the Milky Way.

You Xuan flicked out a monster card from his hand. The card flew through the Void Machine's ring, and the moment it passed through the ring, it quickly projected the image of a giant. The iron-cast body quickly unfolded, with three pairs of golden wings of different sizes behind it, and the solemn face of an angel in the red crystal on its chest.

[Time Machine God Michion, Attack Power 0]

The moment the Time Machine God landed, the Jade Throne's face lit up with pride.

He knew he was right.

Not only does this newly introduced Time Machine God have 0 attack power, but the Continuous Trap Card specifically used to summon Time Machine God also has the side effect of "all monsters on your field have 0 attack power".

In this way, as long as he has an empty field, the Time Machine God has nothing to fear.

But You Xuan casually waved his hand: "Time Machine God Mitchin, attack directly."

Amyrlin: "?"

Why are you still attacking when your attack power is clearly 0? What does that mean?
Is it an insulting attack?
