Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1512 Ultimate Beetle God

Insect nets are ineffective!

"The attack restrictions are now lifted!" Kiragu shouted. "Go! CNO.106 Lava Palm - Giant Hand Red Palm, attack 'Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly'!"

Having long disliked the damselfly, the giant hand spread its five fingers, and crimson lava in its palm exploded out in a spiral. At this moment, all the cards on the field were rendered ineffective, even the defensive insect-repelling net light dissolved and dissipated, leaving no obstacle.

The spiral impact pierced through the damselfly's chest, causing it to explode.

[Yu Xuan, LP2750 → LP1150]

You Xuan swayed slightly, but quickly regained his footing and smiled at Kiragu: "Your Lava Palm is impressive."

This wasn't just polite talk; that's what he genuinely thought. CNO.106 Lava Palm - Giant Hand Red Palm, there are actually differences between the anime and the actual card.

The physical card version of Lava Palm can only negate the effects of face-up cards on the field "until the end of the turn," which is only temporary. However, in the anime version, once Lava Palm's effect is activated, all cards on the field at the time of activation are permanently negated, making it much more practical.

Furthermore, it has an animation-exclusive effect that was removed from the physical card. As long as Lava Palm is on the field in face-up attack position, all effect damage received by the controller becomes 0, thus granting immunity to effect damage, which is quite a useful ability.

“Set one card, turn over,” Kira said. “Next turn, I’ll use the power of this Lava Palm to finish you off without a doubt!”

"The next round is really something to look forward to. My turn, draw a card."

Youxuan draws cards.

"Activate the Spell Card 'Pot of Greed' and draw two cards from your Deck."

You Xuan drew two cards.

Kira glanced at the remaining "Beetle Machine Ladybug" on the field and snorted, "Although that monster seems to have the same ability as Damselfly to equip monsters from the graveyard, unfortunately, its effect has been nullified by Lava Hand, so it's just a useless vanilla monster now."

“That seems to be the case,” You Xuan said. “Then I will Normal Summon ‘Beetle Machine Centipede’ from my hand.”

[Beetle-Mounted Centipede, Attack Power 1600]

"The effect of 'Beetle Assembly Centipede' activates, allowing you to equip 'Beetle Assembly Monster' from the Graveyard to Centipede," Yu Xuan said. "Equip 'Beetle Assembly Bumblebee' from the Graveyard once again!"

Kira gritted his teeth: "Here we go again, just like I expected."

Bumblebees, bumblebees, endless bumblebees.

Kira was certain that if they didn't finish this game today, he would be haunted by the Bumblebee's shadow for at least the next month.

"Then Bumblebee's effect sends the equipped Bumblebee to the graveyard and destroys one card on the field," You Xuan said. "Destroys 'CNO.106 Lava Palm - Giant Hand - Red Palm'!"

Bumblebee transformed into a cannonball and fired again.

Kira said grimly, "You'll summon new beetle machines and then trigger this chain reaction. Do you think I didn't think of that?"

Activate the face-down card, the Continuous Trap Card 'Wall of Numbers'!
This card can protect your 'Number' monsters from being destroyed by card effects!

The NO. resistance, which originally only had general combat destruction resistance, was upgraded to have effect destruction resistance. The trap released a burning golden "NO." and a huge barrier was created to block in front of Kiragu's giant hand.

Bumblebee's desperate charge crashed into the barrier, failing to achieve any effect.

"Heh heh, so even if you manage to summon new beetles and recycle Bumblebees for another round, the result will be the same," Kiragu said smugly.

You Xuan must first retrieve Bumblebee to destroy the perpetual trap, and then find a way to destroy it again. In total, he needs to destroy it twice more to successfully break through the Lava Palm.

Even for the Beetle, with its excellent endurance and scheduling capabilities, it wouldn't be easy to blow up two more times under the current circumstances.

but
"You seem to think that I only retrieved Bumblebee to disrupt your Lava Palm, and that I'm helpless once that's blocked."

You Xuan shrugged and smiled.

"Really, it seems I've been underestimated."

Kira: "What?"

“Although Bumblebee failed to destroy the card, it has indeed been sent to the graveyard as an equipment card,” Yu Xuan said. “At this moment, the effect of Beetle Mechanic Centipede activates.”

"Send the equipment cards from the centipede to the graveyard, and I can add a 'Beetle Machine' card from my deck to my hand." Yu Xuan shook the cards that popped out of his deck.

“I added ‘Beetle Machine - Jika Weevil’ to my hand from my deck.”

"Then, due to the effect of the Jika Weevil, this card can be equipped as an Equip Card from your hand to any monster on your field whose name includes 'Beetle Mechanic'. I equipped Jika Weevil to 'Beetle Mechanic Ladybug'."

The equipped monster's original DEF is now 2600!

[Beatle Assault - Ladybug, Defense 2600]

Kira frowned: "Strengthening the defense, huh? I see. It's comparable to the power of Lava Palm, so they're using this for temporary defense."

But he soon realized he had been too naive.

The other side never even considered defense.

“Activate the effect of ‘Beetle Mechanic: Giga Mole Cricket’ from the Graveyard,” Yu Xuan said. “Giga Mole Cricket can banish an Insect-Type monster from the Graveyard and equip this card from the Graveyard as an Equip Card to one monster on your field.”

I removed 'Beetle Machine Exa Saucer' from the game from the graveyard, and equipped 'Beetle Machine Ladybug' with 'Gigantic Mole Cricket' from the graveyard. The equipped monster's original ATK becomes 2000!

[Beetle Assembly - Ladybug, Attack Power 2000]

Kira: "?"

Stacking defense can be understood as trying to delay the Lava Palm attack on your side, but what's the point of stacking 2000 points of attack power?
But the next moment he realized that the key point was not the increase in this amount of data at all.

"Alright, that completes the preparations." You Xuan smiled. "Out of respect for the Seven Emperors of Balian, I'll show you this next."

My Beetle-themed deck, a true ace!

Kira: "?"

The real ace? So they haven't even appeared yet?
Kiragu instinctively held his breath and observed the situation on the field.

What will be the ace? Are there any other Xyzs?
However, the monsters on his opponent's field are of completely different levels, making an Xyz Summon impossible. He's also already used his Normal Summon this turn; what is he planning to do?
Yu Xuan: "I send the three cards used as equipment cards, 'Beetle Mechanism - Jika Mole Cricket' and 'Beetle Mechanism - Jika Weevil', and the Continuous Spell 'Insect Net', to the graveyard to summon the 'strongest' version of Beetle Mechanism!"

Kira: "???"

Is there a summoning condition that involves sacrificing an Equip Card and a Continuous Spell Card?
But the next moment, before You Xuan could swipe the card in his hand, Kiragu's heart was already on high alert, as if he had already sensed danger.

coming soon!
Something that surpasses all monsters and cards so far is about to arrive, right there in the opponent's raised hand!

Claimed to be the "strongest" card in the Beetle PC build, what exactly is that card?!
"The thunderbolt of lost joy obliterates all things in this world, manifest yourself—"

—Thunder Emperor Hamon!!!

As if riding on lightning, golden bones enveloped a giant-like figure, descending with a thunderous roar that shook the heavens!
[Thunder Emperor Hamon, Attack Power 4000]

The real-life Hamon card cannot be summoned this way, because the real-life Hamon card requires a "face-up Continuous Spell Card" to be sent to the Graveyard to be summoned. But the anime is not so strict; whether face-up or face-down, as long as three Spell Cards on your field are sent to the Graveyard, it can be summoned.

As is well known, monster cards used as Equip Cards are generally considered "Equip Spell Cards" unless otherwise specified, as long as they are in the Spell & Trap Zone.

Therefore, Hamon can use the equipped Beetle Machine Card as a sacrifice to descend.

However, it's worth mentioning that while the physical Hamon card cannot be equipped with external beetles, it is hailed as the "Ultimate Gem God Hamon." This is because Gem Beasts are used as continuous spells when they exist in the Spell & Trap Zone, making them a perfect match for Hamon.

As the legendary demon god descended, accompanied by towering thunder, his mere presence creating monstrous waves on the surrounding sea, Kira almost couldn't help but curse aloud—

—You call this a Beetle PC build?

What the hell is this? Is it the Ultimate Beetle God, Hamon?

"Thunder Emperor Hamon," You Xuan waved his hand, "Attack 'CNO.106 Lava Palm - Giant Hand Red Palm'!"
A devastating blow that will destroy your pleasure!

The endless lightning bolts fell straight down, instantly enveloping the giant lava hand and blasting it into a pile of black charcoal in a flash.
