Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1455 Engine Heavenly General
You Xuan: "My turn, draw a card."

Qianjin joked, "Is that what they call an Xyz Monster? It seems like a rather interesting opponent. What's their goal this time?"

"Destroy the world? Conquer dimensions? They're pretty much the same, aren't they?" Yu Xuan shrugged. "Activate the spell card 'Grimoire in a Pot.' Both players draw three cards from their decks."

After drawing a card, Youxuan played another magic card from his hand.

"Spell Card 'Book of the Living - Forbidden Spell': Target a Zombie monster in your Graveyard and a monster in your opponent's Graveyard, banish the monster from your opponent's Graveyard, and Special Summon the Zombie monster from your Graveyard!"

The Resurrection Spell costs the opponent one monster to banish from their Graveyard. This card was once an essential artifact in various Zombie decks.

"Discard 'Captain Who Cuts into Enemy Lines' from your Graveyard." Yu Xuan held a monster card between two fingers and waved it. "Special Summon 'Red-Eyes Undying Dragon' from my Graveyard once again!"

A giant book with a green cover was opened on the field, and purple mist spewed out from the cracks in the spine. The faces of wailing vengeful spirits emerged from the mist, and the graveyard turned into a boiling black vortex.

Dragon claws emerged from the depths of the vortex, and the bones of the Red-Eyes Undead Dragon crackled and popped, as flesh and blood climbed and regenerated along the skeleton like lava, transforming it back into the form of a black dragon.

[Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

Kagurazaka scoffed. "I just defeated it, and it's back so quickly. This Red-Eyed NTR Dragon is just annoying to look at."

"Red-Eyes Undying Dragon, attack 'Machine Angel Engine Warrior'."

Death energy surged again from the Undying Dragon's throat, like will-o'-the-wisps clinging to the spiraling black flames, and an Undying Black Flame Bullet exploded with the shrieks of the undead.

"An attack as expected!" Kagurazaka snorted. "Activate the effect of 'Machine Angel - Engine Heavenly Soldier'!"

Remove one Xyz Material to change one Attack Position monster on the field to Defense Position, and it cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects this turn!
I removed one material, changed the Engine Soldier's own defense, and gave it destruction resistance!

The Undying Black Flame Bullet hurtled in, trailing thick smoke and a scorching contrail, the burning sphere tracing a charred path through the air. The Mecha Angel hovered in place, its mechanical wings trembling slightly, and a semi-transparent purple light screen unfurled from its shoulder armor. The barrier, like flowing crystal, transformed into a solid shield.

【Mechanical Angel - Engine Soldier, Attack 1800 → Defense 1000】

Flames collided with the barrier, black flames exploding and scattering like waves. Scorching tongues of fire frantically licked the protective shield, yet could not penetrate it even slightly. A faint purple light rippled, silently dissolving and melting the raging flames, ultimately turning them into wisps of drifting gray smoke. The mecha angel remained motionless.

"The effect of converting defense to damage resistance, huh?" You Xuan nodded.

This thing is an early Xyz Monster, not a particularly famous card, and Yugen doesn't really remember what its effect is.

From today's perspective, a mere destruction resistance is obviously insignificant; there are countless ways to deal with it. However, in the Xyz Era, while there were ways to deal with monsters that couldn't fight or destroy effects, they certainly weren't nearly as convenient as they are today.

Therefore, this engine-powered celestial soldier is quite practical. It can actively switch to defense when blocking damage, avoiding further harm. Whether used to survive and stall for time or to protect your main character, it's a good strategy.

Of course, this is not its final form yet.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Kagurazaka draws a card. The moment the card is drawn, the atmosphere on the field seems to change, and a transparent wave of energy is generated.

The projection of the Balian behind Kagurazaka suddenly looked up and burst into laughter.

"It's here! It's finally here! Look closely, this is the world ahead of the Xyz, the answer to evolution! I activate my Ascension Magic - Varia Power!!!"

Yuma was the first to change color: "The power of the Valiant has indeed arrived!"

Astral also said: "A terrifying card that can grant any Xyz Monster the ability to instantly break through its limits, filled with chaotic energy."

At this moment, the chaos of the ascending magic had enveloped the mecha angel, and the enormous steel angel sank into the supermassive vortex that had reopened on the ground, evolving under the raging chaotic energy.

"Born of chaos, the power of the Varia, deliver your judgment upon this filthy world! Chaos Xyz Transformation—"

—Chaos Xyz - Mech Demon Engine General!!!

A new chaotic vortex opened, like a passage to the Varia world. The Mecha Angel Engine Soldier sank into the dark vortex, seemingly swallowed by the chaos. Only moments after its steel body disappeared into the vortex, it erupted with a burst of energy.

The steel body seemed to have been reassembled, its engines roaring incessantly. It was roughly disassembled and reassembled in the chaotic energy, transforming into an even larger form, resembling some kind of purple aircraft.

【Chaos Xyz - Mech Demon Engine General, Attack Power 2600】

"It really has leveled up! It's a Chaos Xyz Monster!" Yuma gritted his teeth. "Damn it, this duel should probably still be ours."

The astral body replied, "No, this is fine."

Yuma: "Huh?"

"Varia's Power is the card with the greatest destructive power against Xyz Monsters," Astral analyzed. "When Varia's Power is activated, the Chaos Xyz Monster it summons can steal Xyz Materials from Xyz Monsters on the opponent's field, and the opponent's monsters' ATK decreases by 300 points for each Xyz Material stolen." (Animation effect)

“That’s right!”

Yuma then remembered that they had suffered from the power of the Varia before when they fought against the Varia. Hope not only had all its materials drained, turning it into a blank slate, but its attack power had also decreased.

Thinking about it this way, if the opponent doesn't use the Overcharge at all, the Varian Power won't be able to unleash its full potential.

"Chaos Xyz - Machine Majin Engine General, attack 'Red-Eyes Undying Dragon'!"
Devastating air strikes!

The engine-wielding general's armor opened, revealing two jet-black cannon barrels. Dark purple flames gathered at the muzzles, and two beams of light shot out simultaneously from the left and right. Then, the two energies attracted and merged in mid-air like magnets, combining into a surging purple flame.

Qianjin winked at You Xuan: "You want me to make a move?"

"That will be troublesome." You Xuan smiled.

As he spoke, You Xuan looked up and said.

"The effect of Vampire Princess is that when your Zombie monsters battle with your opponent, you only have one chance to pay Life Points in multiples of 100 during damage calculation. Your monsters' ATK and DEF will only increase by the amount paid during that damage calculation!"

Kagurazaka's expression changed drastically: "What!?"
