Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1456 Steel Flame
"The effect of the Vampire Heiress is that she can convert her life points into the attack power of undead monsters."

You Xuan said calmly.

"This effect can increase the maximum attack power by 3000 points."

"Attack power can be increased by three thousand!?"

[Chaos Xyz - Mech Demon - Engine General, Attack Power 2600]

Kagurazaka, LP 1600

Kagurazaka was shocked. If that's the case, as long as the opponent provides enough life points as fuel for the Undying Dragon, this battle will be instantly annihilated!

He had thought that the advancement of the Barian Power would mark the beginning of settling into his own rhythm, but unexpectedly, he had instantly reached a critical juncture of life and death. He dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly shouted, "Quick-attack spell 'Mysterious Chinese Pot'!"
Tribute your monsters to restore their ATK equal to their Life Points. I Tribute 'Chaos Xyz - Machine Gun: Engine General'!

[Kagurazaka, LP1600 → LP4200]

Chaos Xyz, who had just landed, was eliminated before he could even stand still. Kagurazaka could only loot the loot box with tears in his eyes, while glaring fiercely at the seemingly harmless young lady opposite him.

It turns out that the card automatically jumps out of your hand when you attack; it has more than just that effect. It even has such a cunning hidden trick. One careless move and you're dead.

The effect of Engine God is that when dealing combat damage to the opponent, removing one overload material will add 1000 damage.

But if it doesn't deal any damage at all, then the effect is meaningless.

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

"After all that fuss, I thought your power, the Barian, was something extraordinary, but it turns out it's just about releasing cards and that's it?" You Xuan said, feigning disappointment.

Kagurazaka remained silent with a dark expression.

"Then it's my turn, draw a card."

Kagurazaka: "At this moment, I activate the face-down card, the Trap Card 'Xyz Resurrection'!"
Revive an Xyz Monster from your Graveyard and place it on the field as Xyz Material under that monster.

"What I will resurrect from the graveyard is 'Mechanical Angel - Engine Soldier'!"

【Mechanical Angel - Engine Soldier, Attack Power 1800】

The trap it activated transformed into a glowing supermaterial, which circled the mech like a star ring.

In fact, choosing Engine Soldier instead of the Chaos Entity with higher attack power is the right decision. Having an extra 800 attack power during the opponent's turn doesn't make much difference; Engine Soldier's ability to completely destroy resistance throughout the entire turn is far superior.

Of course, that's the logic, but that doesn't stop You Xuan from mocking: "Oh? You didn't choose the Chaos Body, but the original Xyz Monster. It seems you're not so confident in your so-called Varia power?"

So you yourself have realized that your so-called chaotic power becomes less and less useful the more it evolves, and is actually less effective than it was originally, right?

Varian, standing behind Kagurazaka, remained silent with a dark expression, thinking to himself, "Why does this guy talk so much nonsense while playing cards? He's really messing with my mind."

“Well, your assessment isn’t wrong,” You Xuan said. “Your Chaos Evolution is pretty useless. I’ll activate the magic card ‘Beckoning to the Dead.’”

Discard a card from your hand and destroy a monster on the field. I destroy 'Machine Angel - Engine Soldier'.

You Xuan said as he sent a card into the graveyard.

Kagurazaka immediately responded: "Then activate the effect of 'Machine Angel - Engine Warrior'! Remove one Xyz Material, change Engine Warrior to Defense Position, and it cannot be destroyed by battle or effect this turn!"

The engine's heavenly soldier ability was activated again, giving itself an invincible buff.

Seeing the pale purple protective shield completely protecting the engine soldier, Kagurazaka breathed a slight sigh of relief, as if she had gained a sense of security from it.

His engine-wielding celestial soldiers lack offensive capabilities, but the Chaos Transformation enhances their offensive and finishing abilities. However, while this original form isn't particularly offensive, its survival skills are top-notch, and having passed the protection effect, it's highly likely safe this round.
Right?
"You're invincible again. You can't damage or destroy you. That's quite a headache." Yu Xuan smiled. "Well, but that was expected. I didn't really intend to destroy your monster when I activated 'Waving to the Dead'."

Kagurazaka: "What?"

“The card I just discarded was ‘Minotaur’,” Yu Xuan said. “When this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can Special Summon a Zombie monster from your hand by banishing other Zombie monsters from the Graveyard.”

I banish 'Singing Zombie' from the graveyard (which was in the graveyard the first turn) from my hand and Special Summon this card.

—Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon!

[Red-Eyes Immortal Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

Kagurazaka: "There are two Red-Eyes Immortal Dragons!?"

"Yes, so guess what will happen next between the two immortal dragons?"

Kagurazaka's pupils contracted: "You...you mean to?!"

The next moment, You Xuan raised his hand: "I'll stack two 'Red-Eyes Immortal Dragons' on the field! I'll use two monsters to build a stacking network!"

The black dragon, bringing endless possibilities, evolve into an endless steel flame that burns everything! Xyz Summon—

—Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon!!!

[Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon, Attack Power 2800]

"Steel Flame. Red-Eyes Hyperdimension!?"

The students immediately erupted in anger.

Red-Eyes Xyz form – this is huge news!

Although the Steel Flame Dragon has been developed for quite some time, it has not been made public yet and remains a secret.

Fubuki was the most shocked, her expression filled with longing as she looked at the domineering Xyz Dragon. This was the possibility of the Red-Eyes Demon in the Xyz Era.

Just when everyone was eagerly anticipating this new Red-Eyes to display its divine power and supernatural abilities...

Yu Xuan: "Activate the Spell Card 'Spy of Purple Flame' to give control of one of your monsters to your opponent."

I'm giving you 'Red-Eyes Steelix'.

Kagurazaka: "???"

All the students x Fubuki: "???"

One second everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the Super Red-Eyes, the next second they were confused by the scene of the light-speed reversal.

Such a grand and impressive setup, and then they just gave it away to the other side right away?

What do you mean?
Varia, who was behind Kagurazaka, also sensed something was wrong. However, as a relatively dark figure in the world of Xyz, he knew that anything given by the opponent in a duel was never a good thing, and he began to feel uneasy.

“I haven’t Normal Summoned this turn,” Yu Xuan said. “I Normal Summon the Tuner monster ‘Transformer Fighter - Illuminator’.”

[Transforming Fighter - Lighthouse, Attack Power 200]

"Adjusting the monster?" Fubuki guessed. "Could it be that we also need to synchronize them?"

However, it does not.

There's no need for any synchronization; the outcome is already decided at that moment.

"Field spell 'Valley of the Royal Slumber'!"

The realm of immortality collapsed instantly, replaced by a desolate valley, with only a sliver of the setting sun filtering through the cracks in the canyon in the cold space.

"Finally, the card you initially sent to the Graveyard after erasing it from your handbook, 'Screw Hedgehog's' effect is activated in the Graveyard," Yu Xuan said. "If you have a Tuner monster on your field, Screw Hedgehog can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard."

Therefore, I Special Summoned Screwback from the Graveyard.

Asuka and the others, who understood the purpose of this place, began to have doubts.

“Wait a minute,” Asuka said, “I remember that in the Valley of the Kings’ Sleep, the monsters in the graveyard can activate their effects, but they can’t revive themselves onto the field.”

“That’s right. In the Valley of the Kings’ Sleep, the effects of reviving monsters from the graveyard will be nullified.” Yu Xuan smiled. “But it’s only that the effects are nullified. The Screw Hedgehog can’t be revived from the graveyard, but the action of activating the monster’s effect still exists.”

The instant the monster's effect activated, the effect of the Red-Eyes Steelix I gave you also activated. Whenever a Spell, Trap, or Monster effect activates, inflict 500 damage to the opponent.

The Varian Daiki behind Kagurazaka.

You gave me this giant monster, and then used it to burn your own blood?

What kind of bizarre combination is this—cuckoldry and self-harm?

"But at this moment, the effect of Transformer: Lamplight activates," You Xuan said. "While Lamplight's attack indication is on the field, all effect damage I receive is taken by the opponent!"

Kagurazaka: "!"

In other words, if the monster you give me burns your health, it will bounce back to me?

Before he could even process what was happening, the Steel Flame Dragon opened its mouth. A fireball shot out from its mouth, but it struck the dragon's headlights directly. The incandescent bulbs acted like mirrors, reflecting the fireball back and hitting Kagurazaka himself.

[Kagurazaka, LP4200 → LP3700]

Five hundred points of damage were insignificant, but he knew perfectly well that the problem lay elsewhere.

Kagurazaka suddenly looked up, her eyes bloodshot as she stared intently at the floodlight across the street.

"You want it"

“Yes, I want to try again.” You Xuan smiled. “Because of the presence of ‘Valley of Royal Sleep,’ the resurrection of the Screw Hedgehog failed. So, I’ll try again. The Screw Hedgehog’s effect has no limit on the number of uses per turn.”

I have a Tuner monster on my field, so I'm reviving 'Screw Hedgehog' from the Graveyard again.

"Of course, the Valley of the King's Long Sleep still exists, so the resurrection will still fail. But the moment the Screw Hedgehog's monster effect activates, the effect of the Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon that I gave you also activates—and of course, the Steel Flame Dragon's effect isn't once per turn either."

Every time I activate a monster effect, Steel Flame Dragon has to burn 500 of my life points.

"But of course, the effect of the Transformer: Lighting Lamp will be reflected back to you."

Kagurazaka: "Ugh!"

[Kagurazaka, LP3700 → LP3200]

Kagurazaka was now covered in sweat.

This is
Infinite Loop!

The moment he completed the combination of Red-Eyes Steel Flame Dragon, Royal Valley of the Dead, Screw Hedgehog, and Transformer Fighter - Illuminator, he was trapped in this endless loop of hell, unable to escape.

"Ahhh-"

Kagurazaka, LP 0
