Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1474 Black Mist
"duel?"

The black mist laughed loudly.

Why must we duel?

"The Astral Body is finished. You're nothing but an insignificant puppet. You and your No. are already mine, Yuma Tsukumo! Under these circumstances, why should I continue to duel with you?"

Yuma gritted his teeth: "Damn it."

He didn't want to lose, he didn't want to surrender like this.

But his arm wouldn't obey him, and he could only watch helplessly as his hand slowly reached towards the deck, preparing to surrender.

Is this really the end?

His meteoric rise, his connection with the starlight, everything.
The black mist revealed a sinister smile, as if its wicked scheme had succeeded.

Got it.

Finally, the Astral Body he had longed for, along with all the NOs he had collected so far, all belonged to his Uncle Black Mist.
However, just as Yuma's hand was about to touch the deck, he stopped.

Black Mist's pupils contracted. He suddenly noticed that someone had appeared behind Yuma without him noticing.

The handsome young man stood behind Yuma, gently placing one hand on Yuma's shoulder, as if this simple gesture had relieved Yuma of a heavy burden.

You Ma immediately felt as if his body had become much lighter, and he regained some control over his arms. He looked up in surprise, and upon seeing the face of the person beside him, exclaimed in astonishment, "Mr. You Xuan!"

Black Mist's expression also changed drastically: "You Xuan. The Duel King of this dimension? Why is he in a place like this?"

Yu Ma had the same question: "Mr. Yu Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

"I saw you stealing a boat and going out to sea in the middle of the night, so I followed you to see what was going on." You Xuan shrugged. "I thought it was just for fun and had nothing to do with me."

But I never expected this. Tsk tsk, not only are they resorting to underhanded tactics, but they're even trying to skip the sacred duel altogether.

As everyone knows, in Yu-Gi-Oh!, those who try to skip the card-playing phase and win directly usually don't end well. Yet, the villains who play the card-playing phase are all quite enthusiastic about it.

The black mist said grimly, "This is none of your business, you otherworldly being."

“That won’t do. As you know, people here call me the ‘Duel King.’ The term ‘Duel King’ means someone who is most obsessed with dueling, and I have a few bad habits that I can’t break.”

If you pass by and see cards you can play, you won't be able to walk past; if you see good cards you can pick up, you can't ignore them.

As he spoke, he casually pulled his deck from Yuma's Duel Disk, inserted it, and activated his own Duel Disk.

Black Mist's pupils contracted: "You want to take on this duel?"

Yu Ma was also surprised: "Mr. Yu Xuan, you..."

"This duel is not over according to the rules. Although you used some underhanded means to incapacitate the duelists here, it is still continuing according to the rules."

Yugen then took over the cards from Yuma, who was unable to move, and transferred all of Yuma's monster cards and face-down cards to his own Duel Disk.

"I completely inherit Yuma's deck, hand, field, and life points, etc., to continue the duel in his place since he can't act. Is that alright?"

In fact, the anime originally had this kind of substitution rule, and Yuugen's substitution was already considered quite card-oriented. In the ZEXAl anime, mid-game substitutions often involved replacing the entire deck, only inheriting the field and life points.

The fact that the characters in the anime switched decks halfway through the game shows that they don't like to use counter cards or strategy cards, otherwise this rule could be used in countless creative ways. In contrast, Yuugen's side only changed players; they didn't change their decks or the field of play.

Of course, at this time, the conditions for Youxuan's Dark Duel have not yet been met, and Heiwu still has the opportunity to escape unscathed and refuse to accept this card.

but
“Accept his terms,” said teammate Bekuta, who was connected remotely from the outside.

The black mist said coldly, "We are just cooperating. I do not accept your orders."

“As you probably know, this person is a huge threat from the dimensional fusion,” Vector said. “He’s willing to take over half of the duel and fight with a deck he’s not familiar with. Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime.”

"cut"

Kurogiri also knew some information about Fujiki Yugen and knew that Vector's words were true.

According to the limited information he possessed, this Fujiki Yugen was extremely powerful, and his deck was incredibly versatile; encountering him on a regular basis would be quite troublesome simply because of his deck. The fact that he was willing to use Yuma's deck in this encounter was indeed a rare opportunity.

“Okay, I accept.” Black Mist made up her mind.

As we all know, Yuma and Astral are the ultimate, most brutal Hope decks, with very few destruction effects that can directly knock out the opponent's monsters. This style shouldn't suit Fujiki Yugen at all.

This person will likely find themselves constrained when using this deck.

Yu Ma thought the same thing, and said with some concern, "Mr. Yu Xuan, there's no need. I can still..."

He tried to be strong, but his body was still somewhat immobile. He managed to take half a step forward, but tripped and fell to the ground.

The effects of the black fog on him have not completely disappeared.

"Don't worry, he's just a nobody," You Xuan said with a smile, trying to reassure him. "Even if you're using the same deck for the first time, you can easily handle an opponent of this caliber."

The black mist sneered, "Just because you have the title of 'King' doesn't mean you've lost your way! Don't get too arrogant!"

By this point in the duel, the three Devouring Monsters had summoned the true form of the Black Mist. The thick fog dissipated, revealing the Black Mist's grotesque form, its sharp fangs and claws exposed. Its twisted face was located on its chest and abdomen, its eyes burning like flames, and its abdominal cavity contained a mouth full of fangs, its interior seemingly connected to endless darkness.

[NO.96 Black Mist, Attack Power 100]

"Battle! No. 96 Black Mist, attack 'Rumble Ghost'!"

Yuma warned, "Be careful, Mr. Yugen! The effect of the black mist is..."

But before he could finish explaining, the black mist itself stole the opportunity: "My effect is! When battling a monster, remove 1 Xyz Material, that opponent's monster's ATK becomes half, and this card's ATK increases by that amount!"

A surrounding supermaterial was swallowed by the black mist, and the rumbling ghost opposite was immediately shrouded in a debuff by a surging dark mist. The rumbling ghost's momentum plummeted, and its energy seemed to be drawn away by the mist and flowed into the black mist.

[Rumbling Ghost, Attack Power 1900 → Attack Power 950]

[NO.96 Black Mist, Attack Power 100 → Attack Power 1050]

The power instantly reversed, and the black mist struck the waist with a claw, shattering the rumbling ghost armor. The ghost bound inside the armor also exploded instantly and vanished without a trace.

[Yu Xuan, LP4000→LP3900]

"I see." You Xuan dusted himself off. "Another invincible fighting effect, huh?"
