Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1452 Immortality
"Duel Champion!?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ma's gaze towards Yu Xuan immediately became solemn and respectful.

After all, Yuma's biggest dream is to become the Duel Champion, so if that's the case, then this person in front of him is like an idol to Yuma.

Of course, although Yuma still failed to win the Duel Championship title by the end of the anime, based on his experiences in the anime and the cards he won, he had probably already surpassed the level of a mere champion.

Although the ZEXAL story never explicitly states who the champion of this world is, it's likely that even the champion is inferior to the thousands of masters. After all, the card battles in the later parts of the anime have reached a world-ending level.

"I'll go first, draw a card," You Xuan said.

He knew that Kagurazaka was being manipulated, a situation similar to that in the ZEXAL anime. Originally just a background character, he was manipulated by the Varia and instantly transformed into a mini-boss. Not only that, but their original card decks might also change, especially the card symbolizing the Varia's power.

Ascension Magic - Varia Power: This ability allows Xyz Monsters to advance in rank and gain the chaotic power representing the Varia.

Therefore, it's only natural that the person being manipulated would be using an Xyz Deck. Thus, Yuugen knew that even though he appeared to be facing Kagurazaka, the real substitute was the Varia behind the scenes. And the deck the opponent was using was most likely not Kagurazaka's original deck either.

We cannot determine what tactics the other side will use for the time being, so let's observe for a while and gather some intelligence.

"Normal Summon 'Banshee of the Corpse' from your hand."

Yu Xuan slammed the monster card in his hand onto the Duel Disk, and a new Undead Monster was summoned as the Duel Disk's video system was activated.

Silver hair fluttered in the wind, and pale fingers emerged from the floating monster card. As Banshee floated out, transparent spirits coiled around her, and eerie blue phosphorescent flames burned coldly. She hovered barefoot in the air, her white robes almost transparent.

"Set one card face down, and the turn ends," You Xuan said.

"My turn, draw a card."

After drawing a card, Kagurazaka glanced at the card in her hand, added it to her hand, and then sneered at Yuugen.

"The incompetent humans who previously received the gifts from the Balian have been defeated one after another in this dimension. Let me see for myself what's so special about this world."

Activate the Spell Card 'Hand Elimination', discard all cards from both players' hands, then draw the same number of cards from your deck!

You Xuan glanced at the remaining cards in his hand, then discarded them into the graveyard with his opponent without saying a word.

“Then activate the Spell Card ‘Warrior’s Survival’,” Kagurazaka said. “It can return Warrior-Type monsters from the Graveyard to your hand.”

You Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Oh, you just discarded the Warrior race and now you want to reclaim them? You really are fickle."

Kagurazaka snorted and said, "I returned the Warrior-Type monster 'Captain Who Cuts into the Enemy's Faction' from the Graveyard to my hand."

You Xuan changed the subject and said with a smile, "Well, but will things go so smoothly?"

"what?"

“The moment your ‘Warrior’s Survival’ is activated, Banshee of the Dead’s effect is activated,” Yu Xuan said. “Banshee of the Dead is banished from your field or graveyard, and you can choose one Field Spell ‘Undead World’ from your hand or deck and activate it directly in the Field Zone.”

Furthermore, this effect can also be activated during the opponent's turn.

Kagurazaka: "Activate the field during my turn?"

"good."

At this moment, the female demon who brought bad news had already vanished from the field of wandering spirits.

Thick, viscous purple mist drifted onto the field, like the sighs of countless awakened spirits. The stark white finger bones multiplied wildly like bacteria after rain, instantly forming an undulating plain of bones. Purple giant trees rose from the ground, their trunks like corroded skin, their knots twisting into faces—some like demons, some like humans—frozen in time in moments of despair, like silent, piercing screams. "Ugh, what an eerie arena!"

Yuma hugged himself tightly, as if he had grown cold as the venue descended.

He looked at Misawa again: "Are you sure this person is a good person?"

Misawa chuckled and said, "I know he doesn't look like it, but he really is from our side."

"It doesn't seem like I'm superfluous, does it? I've said before that there's no duelist as compassionate as me."

Yu Xuan muttered something, then looked up at Kagurazaka.

"In the Undead World, all monsters on both sides' fields and in their graveyards become Undead."

"Become an undead?" Kagurazaka scoffed. "An undead is an undead, such behavior is utterly pointless."
What?!?

His pupils contracted a beat late, as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Yuma, whose reaction time was also somewhat slow, asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Astral explained from the side, "His spell card 'Warrior's Survival' can only retrieve Warrior-Type monsters from the Graveyard, but 'Undead World' can turn all monsters into Undead-Type monsters."

"I see!" Yuma exclaimed in realization. "So, that spell was wasted?"

"That's exactly what I mean, because the monsters being targeted have become undead."

The astral body nodded and said calmly.

"At first glance, it seems like a very ordinary field card that helps the Zombie race, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that it's a terrifying card. In this field, all cards that target a specific race on the field or in the graveyard become negated."

For certain decks, this single card could be devastating.

Yu Ma exclaimed in surprise, "So strong!"

"A cunning little trick," Kagurazaka said. "Then I'll summon the 'Undying Samurai'!"

A bald, tenacious warrior was summoned into the arena. He wielded two katana and wore ancient armor. He was tenacious because he appeared to be covered in wounds and arrows, yet he stood firm and unyielding.

[Undying Warrior, Attack Power 1200]

"A level 3 Warrior-type card. Oh right, the captain who cuts into the enemy ranks is also a level 3 Warrior-type card." You Xuan shook his head. "The captain's effect is that if the summon is successful, other Warrior-type cards can be Special Summoned from the hand."

So if the captain who just entered the enemy ranks is successfully summoned, the captain's effect can Special Summon a Level 3 Warrior from the hand, allowing for an Xyz Summon immediately, right?

You Xuan shook his head regretfully.

"What a pity, I almost Xyz Summoned right from the start. It seems like we won't be seeing your ace for a while."

Kagurazaka said coldly, "Stop being so arrogant. Although you did interrupt my Xyz, now your field is completely empty."

He then waved his hand and gave the attack command.

"Undying Warrior, attack directly!"
