Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1430 An Immortal Heart
You Xuan: "My turn, draw a card."

You Xuan paused slightly, glanced at the hard and smelly lump of Heart-Earth Heart, and said, "You seem to think that as long as Heart-Earth Heart acts as an absolute defensive shield, I can't do anything about it for the time being, right?"

Fika: "."

"If that's the case, then the world of dueling is vast, and you still have a lot to learn, old man."

You Xuan slowly pulled out the card from his hand and smiled softly.

"I'll need your help again, old friend."

"I release 'Number 53, Pseudo-Mortal God Heart' and 'Hardcore Dragon' from your field and give you this powerful monster!"
Awakening from the lava of the abyss, the power of destruction and rebirth—

—Level Eight, Lava Demon!

Fika: "?"

What did he just say?
What was this person just saying? It sounded like something about liberation?

What were we liberating again?

It's probably his Magical Girl or a tri-color gadget; using his lower-level monster for a higher-level summon isn't anything strange.

How ridiculous! Just a moment ago, I thought I heard him say that he wanted to liberate my heart and mind, and that he was summoning my superior on my field. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. How could that be possible? Such a thing.

Either the other person misspoke or there was something wrong with my ears; it's impossible.
boom!
The earth cracked open with spiderweb-like crimson fissures, and the armor of No. 53, the Pseudo-Bonecrusher God, and the metallic scales of the Hardened Dragon simultaneously emitted deathly wails. Boiling magma coiled around their bodies like living things, melting both machinery and skeletons into molten iron. Just as the two remains sank into the abyss of magma, the entire battlefield suddenly resounded with a low-frequency rumble, like the roar of an impending volcanic eruption. A hand made of flowing lava burst forth from the ground, its five fingers gripping and creating waves of fire tens of meters high. The earth's crust cracked under the immense weight as the giant rose, each piece of crumbling rock transforming into a flowing cloak of flames on its surface.

The burning giant stood up, and the iron cage, flowing with molten iron, completely enveloped Fica, hissing white smoke rising from it.

[Lava Demon, Attack Power 3000]

Fika stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding quietly on the field.

After a long pause, he managed to squeeze out a single word from deep in his throat.

"what?"

What is that? What's going on? Why am I being so strange?

Where is my Heart of the Earth? Where is my Heart of the Earth, which has full resistance, battle penetration resistance, and is invincible?

The only response he received was a sizzling, hearty burp emanating from the burning iron-willed man on the field, clutching his stomach: "Burp~"

After letting out a long, hot burp, Tie Hanhan rubbed his stomach, squinted his eyes, and gave a "feeling good" look.

Because today's food is of exceptionally high quality, with NO., all-around resistance, and seven benefits, it feels like the first time in my life I've ever eaten such a refined food. How could I not feel comfortable?
Fika: "Aaaaah—"

He was stunned, truly stunned.

Throughout the entire ZEXAL animation, there has never been anything with the art style of the Lava Demon. After all, this is a dimension where 90% of players are engaged in heated and passionate battles, so this kind of thing that "eats the opponent's monsters and pulls them onto the opponent's field" is truly rare.

What? Unaffected by effects? And can't be destroyed?

It doesn't matter, the Lava Demon will take action.

Anyway, it didn't say that liberation was impossible.

A joyful atmosphere immediately filled the crowd of Seahorse crew members watching, each face beaming with smiles as they pointed and gestured at Fika, as if the joy of a duel could not be greater. But the more they acted this way, the more Fika felt that people's feelings were completely incompatible.

Brothers, my heart has been eaten, this isn't funny.
The Golden Vault has been unlocked, and You Xuan's Golden Vault system is temporarily shut down, but that doesn't matter. Tie Hanhan has already solved the main problem; once the final assault is completed, it's over.

"Silent Magician Zero," You Xuan said, "Attack the 'Lava Demon God'!"

The Silent Magician's long, silvery-white hair moved without wind, and the crystal embedded at the tip of his staff suddenly burst forth with a blazing light like that of a star. Countless light particles were drawn from every corner of the battlefield, spiraling together like iron filings attracted by a magnet, and compressed into a constantly pulsating sphere of light at the tip of the staff, with a transparent vortex swirling around it.

boom!
The moment the magic orb touched the Lava Demon's chest, its body, which resembled the Earth's core, suddenly solidified into a dark red glassy state. Countless glowing cracks radiated outwards from the point of impact, spewing out pure white sparks. The entire shell collapsed with a roar, like a lump of charcoal being crushed by an invisible hand. The remaining lava turned into sulfurous, grayish-white smoke before it even hit the ground, ultimately leaving only a boiling pool of magma.

[Fica, LP1850 → LP1350]

"Cough cough."

Fica coughed violently from the choking, and waved his hand to disperse the white smoke in front of him. But at least the cage that bound him had disintegrated, although the impact of the explosion was accompanied by considerable pain.

This left his field completely empty.

“The battle continues. If we don’t have a backup plan, this might be the final blow,” Yu Xuan said. “Next, use ‘Dark Magician’s Apprentice – Dark Magician Girl’.”

"It's not over yet!"

You Xuan was interrupted by Fika before he could finish speaking.

Fika yelled, his body radiating a fiery Balian energy.

"Of course it's not just that! The trap was activated the instant the battle began!"

Trap card 'Damage Gate'!

You Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Using the Gate of Damage at this point?"

"Damage Gate is a trap that can be activated when you take battle damage. You can use this card to Special Summon monsters from your Graveyard whose ATK is less than or equal to the damage you took!"

You Xuan immediately understood: "Xin Di Xin's attack power is only 100 points."

"Exactly!"

Fika laughed.

"The Lava Demon was just defeated, and I took 500 combat damage! Therefore, I will be resurrected from the graveyard once again—"

—NO.53 The Pseudo-God, Heart to Heart!!!

Suddenly, a purplish-black mist billowed from the cemetery, and the skeletal fragments, once scorched by lava, began to swirl in reverse. A viscous, dark red liquid seeped from the soil, weaving a bizarre resurrection pattern across the surface like countless veins. With a heart-pounding vibration emanating from underground, all the scattered mechanical debris suddenly floated into the air, reassembling like puppets manipulated by invisible threads, transforming once more into the phantom of Xin Di Xin.

[NO.53 Pseudo-God - Heart of the Earth, Attack Power 100]

"Hahaha, how about that? What a pity! It's a shame you actually came up with a way to break free and devour Heart Heart, but Heart Heart is immortal!" Fika laughed heartily.

This is precisely another terrifying aspect of his Heart of the Earth, besides its high resistance and invincibility: it has no summoning restrictions and can be resurrected easily once it enters the battlefield. Furthermore, because its attack power is only 100, its resurrection methods are relatively diverse.

Fika smiled broadly, his expression clearly saying—

—Can you really eat my heart again?
