Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1444 Purifying the Evil Dragon
The azure sky resembled shattered glass, its cracks seeping a molten orange-red. The pure white earth began to collapse, each falling fragment spontaneously combusting as it fell, transforming into fiery meteors that crashed into the deeper void, like countless crimson serpents gnawing at the world's boundaries. Wherever it passed, space curled and charred like parchment burned through, revealing the chaotic, dark void behind.

The collapse of the serene world began with a sharp crack. The azure sky suddenly shattered, fragments peeling off like icing sugar. The boundless earth, like a sandbox with its base removed, collapsed entirely, its pure white surface dissolving into a semi-transparent stream of data, ultimately vanishing in flames.

Looking at the collapsed Pure World, You Xuan shook his head again: "You're so determined to blow away your own Pure World. You really are not a firm believer at all. You've given up your faith at this level."

"I really don't understand how Darkness could have chosen such a terrible agent like you."

"Shut up!" Fujiwara Yusuke snapped. "Say whatever you want, but I represent the supreme will of Darkness. As long as I win, that's all that matters!"

"If I win, you'll become part of the invincible Darkness. Then let's see if your mouth is still as sharp as it is now."

With that, he waved his hand and produced another magic card.

"I then activate the Spell Card 'Magic Flowerpot,' sending the Continuous Spell 'Burning Earth' to the Graveyard, and draw two cards from my Deck." (Animation effect)

"Then activate the spell card 'Purification Sacrifice'!"
This card allows you to select one high-level monster from your hand with "Purity" in its name. Based on the number of Tributes required to Tribute Summon that monster, banish all monsters with "Purity" in their name from your Graveyard. Then, the selected monster can be Normal Summoned without Tributes! (Anime Card)
This is an anime-exclusive card from the Purity series, and it was never made into a physical card even in later generations.

"I banished the 'Pure Stone Giant' and the 'Pure Cube' that I just discarded from the graveyard from the game, as tributes for the Superior Summon!"

Fujiwara Yusuke held up the card with a devout, almost sacred expression.

"Summoned by the superior! Descend, ultimate and strongest purifying monster, dragon that will reduce all things to nothingness—"

—Summon the evil dragon!

The stone figure and the phantom both floated out in ghostly form and vanished instantly, dissipating into specks of light. Then, a new vortex appeared on his field, the air condensing into countless facets. A gigantic dodecagonal crystal materialized out of thin air, its surface refracting iridescent light like a diamond cage held aloft by an invisible hand. Inside the crystal, shadows writhed. It was a coiled dragon, its spine piercing its skin, its jagged bony wings folded into twisted crosses, each claw tip scraping against the crystal wall with a teeth-grinding creak.

The dragon's vertical pupils contracted into slits in the bright light.
[Purify the evil dragon, attack power 0]

This is the trump card of the Cleanse deck. It's level eight but has zero attack power, so it looks like it's not to be trifled with.

"Battle! Purify the evil dragon, attack the 'Dark Dive Bomber'!"

At this point, Fujiwara Yusuke's remaining health was not high, and the bomber was still his biggest threat. Even without summoning other monsters, the bomber itself was a level seven monster and could sacrifice itself; a single shot could deal 1400 damage, which should not be underestimated.

The lab director, as usual, exclaimed in surprise: "Attack with a monster with 0 attack power?"

Fujiwara Yusuke: "Hahaha, the effect of Purifying Dragon! When this card attacks, its ATK becomes twice the ATK of the monster that was battling!"

[Purify the evil dragon, attack power 0 → attack power 5200]

"Double the attack power!?" The person in charge exclaimed in shock. "Wouldn't that make them invincible forever?"

“Exactly! There is no monster that can face the Pure Dragon!” Fujiwara Yusuke said. “This monster is the embodiment of the supreme power given by Darkness, and it can defeat any opponent!” Yugen said, “Then activate the face-down card, Quick-Play Spell ‘Rush.’ This card increases the ATK of one face-up monster on the field by 700 points.”

Fujiwara Yusuke laughed out loud: "A mere 700 points of attack power? You think you can defeat my Pure Dragon with such an enhancement?"

"Who said this was for enhancement?" You Xuan asked.

"Nani?"

"What I want to enhance with the effect of dash is 'Purify the Evil Dragon'!"

Fujiwara Yusuke: "?"

Strengthen my monster? What does that mean?
[Purify the evil dragon, attack power 5200 → attack power 5900]

Ripples spread across the crystal surface like water. The dragon's head, like a condensed black mist, pierced through the polyhedral crystal wall without hindrance. As its entire head emerged, a chaotic gray light shone deep within its throat. That light collapsed into a vortex within a fraction of a second, then erupted as a shockwave over three meters in diameter. The air in its path was ionized into a purplish-black hue, and the titanium alloy armor of the Dark Dive Bomber was pierced through like fragile tin foil. The steel outer shell melted into a gel-like substance, then, along with its internal mechanical structure, was torn into sharp metal fragments.

Seeing the opposing mech blown to smithereens without any repercussions, Fujiwara Yusuke was even more confused. What did this mean? Was his awakened masochistic tendencies simply for the sake of getting beaten up more enjoyable?
However, when the smoke cleared, he discovered that three cracks had appeared on the ground where the Dark Dive Bomber had crashed.

Three clumps of translucent, mycelial material gushed forth from the crack. They twisted in the air into spindle-shaped cysts, their surfaces constantly bulging and collapsing, their interiors flowing with an orange-red substance somewhere between fluorescent liquid and lava. Each time these cysts pulsated, the surrounding shadows would suddenly lengthen, as if the light source had been sucked away.

Yu Xuan: "Trap Card 'Demon World Phoenix Seed' can only be activated when an Attack Position monster on your field is destroyed by battle."

For every 1000 points of combat damage I take in this battle, I can negate that portion of the damage. Furthermore, for every 1000 points of damage negated, I will specially summon one 'Demon World Impatiens Token' on the field.

I just took 3300 damage, so 3000 damage was negated, and I Special Summoned three 'Demon World Impatiens Tokens' to the field.

[Demon Realm Impatiens Flower Derivative, Defense 0] x3
[Yu Xuan, LP4000 → LP3700]

Fujiwara Yusuke frowned.

Did you deliberately increase your attack power just to summon these three derivatives?

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Then let's continue the battle. Pure Illusion, attack 'Demon Realm Impatiens Derivative'."

The Pure Illusion, which appeared in the very first round but had its cards blocked by its own field for the entire game, has finally launched its first attack and destroyed a Demon Realm Impatiens Flower, which is quite a triumph.

But You Xuan, looking at the destroyed balsam flower, remained expressionless and calm: "So, is it over now?"
