Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1485 Over 100 Number
Angel of Light - Heavenly Throne, summon!

First came holy light, a golden, shimmering radiance that enveloped the entire area, followed by countless golden particles materializing. It looked like...
A chair?
Yes, although it seems a bit out of place with the sacred entrance effects and lighting, what is summoned does look like a chair. If you had to compare it, the chair's frame probably looks like a face, the golden light at the ends of the armrests looks like a pair of eyes, and the chair body is covered with golden patterns.

However, even with top-notch special effects and a cool name like "Heavenly Throne," it can't change the fact that it's just a chair.

[Light Angel - Heavenly Throne, Defense 2000]

Yu Xuan clapped his hands: "The Time Machine not only saved the monster, but also triggered a search and a special summon through my attack, maximizing the resources."

Wasn't that a pretty good response?

Drubey frowned.

Is this nonchalant attitude an attempt to provoke me?

But Druby remained calm and continued to operate: "Furthermore, if the Celestial Throne is successfully Special Summoned by this effect, draw one card from your Deck."

Druby drew a card.

You Xuan: "Then I'll set one card face down, and the turn is over."

Of course, the number of cards in your hand decreases instantly when you face down, and the attack power of the True Silent Magician also decreases accordingly.

[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 3500 → Attack Power 3000]

Drube: "My turn, draw a card!"

Drube drew a card.

"Next, I'll Normal Summon this card that I searched last turn. Come on!"
Libra, the Angel of Light!

A burst of holy light appeared, and golden points of light coalesced into a golden scale, with a tray shimmering with golden light trembling gently up and down on both sides of the scale.

[Angel of Light - Libra, Attack Power 1500]

"Oh, we've already collected three Level 4 monsters," You Xuan said. "Is it coming?"

Drube: "I'll stack three Level 4 monsters: 'Radiant Angel Libra,' 'Radiant Angel Staff,' and 'Radiant Angel Throne'! I'll Xyz Summon them by creating a stacking network with these three monsters!"
NO.102! The Angel of Light - Radiant Halo!!!

The number 102 appeared in the air, as if surrounded by burning golden flames. Then the number was imprinted on the golden wings that emerged from the spring of light, followed by a gleaming steel body. The warrior drew his golden bow, the bowstring seemingly formed from pure light.

[NO.102 Angel of Light - Radiant Ring, Attack Power 2500]

Number 102!

Astral once said that the NO. series consisted of his scattered memories. But that wasn't the whole story. The fragments of Astral's memories, the NO. series that truly belonged to him, were actually only the hundred NO. series numbered within the top one hundred.

The numbers over 100 actually have an even more impressive background.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, Starlight fought a great battle with thousands of sovereigns. Although Starlight successfully sealed away the thousands of sovereigns, some of its own memories were also scattered, which were the original fifty "NO." cards.

In the modern era, thousands of years later, in the first episode of ZEXAL, Yuma Tsukumo uses the Imperial Key left by his father to open the "Imperial Gate," a door to his dreams, where he first encounters the Astral. However, the impact of the Imperial Gate opening simultaneously shatters the Astral's remaining memories, transforming them into the remaining 50 No. cards. This is the origin of the first 100 No. cards. The No. cards numbered after 100 are created by the Thousand Lords. The Thousand Lords chose seven originally righteous and noble warriors in the human world, cursing them and altering their memories, causing them to fall and become the Seven Varia Emperors. The seven No. cards numbered over 100 held by these seven are the physical manifestations of the curse from the Thousand Lords that these seven individuals bear.

The Radiant Angel before us is one of them, therefore this card directly contains the power of thousands of masters.

"The effect of 'Light Angel Staff,' which was used as an Xyz Material, is activated!" Drubey shouted. "When Light Angel Staff is successfully Xyz Summoned using Xyz Material, it grants that Xyz Monster an additional effect—"

—Destroy any card on the field other than your own!

Drub's gaze swept over the Silent Magician on the field and the backcourt card in the first place, and after only a moment's hesitation, he selected the backcourt card of You Xuan.

"What I'm going to destroy is your backcourt player, Gevoka!"

The phantom of the Light Angel Staff, now transformed into supermassive material, flashed by before converging into a surge of violent energy that flowed into the Radiant Ring's arrow. The Radiant Ring drew its bow and released the arrow, which transformed into a golden streak of light and pierced through the face-down card in Youxuan's back row.

"You didn't choose to break the silence first, but instead used my card?" You Xuan smiled slightly.

Well, this was an expected choice.

First, when True Silent Magician is destroyed, it can transform into LV8. Second, even if the opponent is unaware of this effect, they will most likely still prioritize destroying the back row – because the effect of Angel of Light: Radiant Ring is inherently designed to target monsters.

"And after destroying a card, I can draw another card from my deck." Drube draws another card.

"Impressive!" You Xuan said sincerely.

In just two rounds, the opponent summoned, searched, and destroyed cards in quick succession, launching an attack while simultaneously gaining card advantage, making excellent resource management. Even from a real-card competitive perspective, this was a remarkably impressive start for the Xyz era.

As expected of one of the Seven Emperors of the Balian, he certainly has the demeanor of a boss.

"NO.102, the effect of Angel of Light - Radiant Ring, is activated!" Drubey exclaimed. "Remove one Xyz Material from this card, and target one monster your opponent controls!"

The monster's effects were nullified, and its attack power was halved!

This is why we prioritize dealing with monsters in the back row over monsters in the front row, because the Ring of Light itself has a very good ability to deal with monsters in the front row.

Drube: "Nullify the effect of 'True Silent Magician' and halve its attack power!"

The Radiant Halo emitted a golden aura, and a transparent force field enveloped the Silent Magician. The flow of magic power around Silent was instantly severed, and his entire body dimmed slightly.

"The Silent Magician's attack power is amplified through monster effects; if the effect is ineffective, the base attack power is only 1000 points," Drubey said. "Furthermore, this portion of attack power will be halved by the effect of the Radiant Aura!"

[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 1000 → Attack Power 500]

"This will make the Radiant Ring's attack power even higher, and this strike will cause massive damage! I don't have time to waste with you, let's finish this quickly!"

"Dreub shouted."

"Go! Angel of Light - Radiant Halo, attack the 'True Silent Magician'!"

The bowstring in the Angel of Light's hand was already fully drawn, and the arrow, trailing a golden light, shot out like a shooting star toward the Silent Magician!
