Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1477 Why not summon Hope?
NO.96 Black Mist, resurrected!
“Next, activate the Spell Card ‘Xyz Treasure’!” the black mist said. “This card allows me to draw one card from my Deck for each Xyz Monster on the field.”

There are currently two Xyz cards on the field, 'Number 16: Color Dominator' and 'Number 96: Black Mist', so I'm drawing two cards from my deck!

Black Mist drew two cards.

"Then set two cards face down, and the turn ends." Black Mist sets a card in the back row.

While still under the control of the Ruler of Color, the Black Mist cannot activate its effects or attack. However, this control will disappear at the end of the turn.

The arcs of electricity churning around the field gradually disappeared, and the purple energy dissipated little by little. The dim mist on the black fog body also became thicker again, and even the supermaterial surrounding it seemed to have become more vibrant.

"My turn, draw a card." You Xuan drew a card.

He paused after drawing the card and squinted his eyes.

"Xyz Resurrection is a trap card. You could actually wait until my turn to activate it. Or if I try to blow it away with a card like 'Whirlwind,' you should have plenty of time to chain it."

But you chose to revive Black Mist during your own turn—even if you revive Black Mist, you shouldn't be able to attack this turn. Why?

The black mist remained silent.

Yuma was also taken aback: "Right, right, we can just revive Black Mist during Yugen's next turn. After all, trap cards can be used during the opponent's turn."

“Think about it, if he hadn’t revived Black Mist just now, but instead set two more cards to face down in the back row and ended his turn, then he would have ended up with no monsters on the field, only face-down cards,” Yu Xuan said.

Yuma was bewildered for a few seconds before suddenly realizing, "That's right! If there are only face-down cards and no monsters on the field, then Yugen will undoubtedly use the effect of 'Ruler of Color' to declare a trap card this turn."

Yuma's pupils contracted as he instantly realized, "He wants Yugen to declare the Monster Card again using Color Ruler!"

In other words, there must be a crucial move hidden in the trap set by the backcourt.

"So what cards are you hiding in your back row? Let me see," Yu Xuan said. "Activate the effect of 'Number 16, the Ruler of Color'!"

Once per turn, declare any type of card, making the declared card unusable until the end of the next turn.

This time, I'm declaring: Trap Cards!

The Color Ruler consumed the last Xyz Material, and purple light once again enveloped the entire field. Seemingly transparent purple chains shot out from beneath the opponent's field, binding their face-down cards in the backrow.

"Tch, not a bad idea. You guessed right, I do have a comeback move hidden in my back row!" Black Mist laughed. "But in fact, it doesn't matter whether you declare a monster or a trap, I just need you to activate the effect of Color Dominator!"

Activate the face-down card, the Trap Card 'Xyz Block'! You can activate this effect by removing one Xyz Material from your field, negating and destroying your opponent's monster effects!

You Xuan narrowed his eyes: "So that's why the black mist was revived ahead of schedule?"

This trap's activation conditions can only be met when there are Xyz Monsters and Xyz Materials on the field.

“Good, I’ve removed the excess material from 'NO.96 Black Mist'!” Black Mist said, “Negating and destroying the effect of the Color Ruler!”
Vanish, ruler of color!

The excess material surrounding the black mist was absorbed by the trap, transforming into a beam of golden javelins that hurtled towards the Ruler of Color. The Ruler of Color's expanding domain was instantly pierced through by the attack, shattering with a deafening boom.

The domain shattered, and the ruler of color was pierced through the chest. Cracks spread across the triangular structure at a visible speed until it shattered into pieces.

Yuma: "Ah, Yugen's Color Ruler has been..."

To be precise, it should be his color master. It's just that he never uses it himself, and the matching art style makes him, as the holder, instinctively feel that the monster's owner is Yuugen.

"Serves you right! Serves you right for playing the lockdown trick!" The black mist laughed heartily. "That's how the Lord of Lust disappeared!"

"It seems so." You Xuan calmly played another card.

"Then, I will normally summon 'I-I-I Magician' from my hand."

The silver-haired magician was summoned into the arena, wearing a mage's pointed hat, a flowing skirt, and the word "I" clearly written on her body. The chains binding the magician fluttered and clanged against each other.

[I am a magician, attack power 1500]

“Although you’ve dealt with the Ruler of Color, the Black Mist now lacks supermaterials and can no longer activate its effects, right?” Yu Xuan said. “So, in the battle phase…”

"I, I, I, the magician, attack 'NO.96 Black Mist'."

The magician's wand spun, his arm slashed down, and a ball of magical light hurtled towards the black mist.

Without the extra materials, the Black Mist is merely a monster with 100 attack, at best possessing the general resistance of "NO. Cannot be destroyed in battle." But even so, it can only withstand destruction; massive battle damage still applies.

Black Mist: "Activate the face-down card, Trap Card 'Ikutaya's Storm'!"

A bird flew out of the trap and into the air, flapping its wings. A transparent whirlwind rose up and blew towards Youxuan's half of the court. I, I, I, the magician immediately crouched down to defend, crossing his arms in front of him.

Black Mist: "Ikutaya's Storm can put all monsters on the opponent's field into Defense Position. Heh heh, too bad, did you think I didn't anticipate this level of attack?"

[I am a magician, Attack 1500 → Defense 1000]

Yuma said regretfully, "Damn it, I almost caused serious damage."

You Xuan, however, did not take it to heart: "Then, I will continue to activate the effect of 'I-I-I Magician'."

This card can be selected from level 1 to 8, and it can be freely transformed into any level of the selected card.

I want to choose level six, so that my magician can go from 4 stars to 6 stars.

【I am a magician, LV4→LV6】

Black Mist: "A Variable Star?"

You Xuan continued, "Then there's the monster effect of 'I, I, I, Boy' in my hand."

If this card has other GaGaGa monsters on your field, you can Special Summon it from your hand. I Special Summon 'GaGaGa Kid'.

[Me, me, me! Attack power 800]

Yu Gen: "The GaGaGa Kid Special Summoned with this effect can have its Level changed to the same as the Level of any other GaGaGa monster on the field."

At this point, my Magician level had reached 6 stars, therefore my Kid level also reached 6 stars.

【Me, me, me, kid, LV2→ LV6】

Black Mist: "!"

This expansion is... a sixth-order hypersurge?

Is this guy still not planning to summon Hope?
