Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1513 Playing Cards Until You're Invulnerable to All Poisons
Kiragu staggered backward, his eyes gradually losing their luster.

"Thunderbolt. Emperor."

He could never have imagined that the opponent's deck, which consisted entirely of low-level insects, would suddenly produce something like this at the end of the game.

Unlike legendary cards like Dark Magician Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which were part of the original series, there doesn't seem to be a legend of the Three Egyptian God Cards in ZEXAL's dimensional history. So, neither Kiraco nor Heart City are seeing them for the first time today.

Even though it was their first meeting, it didn't diminish his sense of awe and reverence for the monster's power. No, it might not even be called a "monster" anymore.

The Thunder Emperor Hamon—such imposing presence, such a chilling aura, undoubtedly transcends the conventional concept of a "monster." In the world of Duel Monsters, regardless of parallel universe or dimension, he is either called a god or a demon.

Kiragu never expected that these mere humans, whom the noble Balian people considered to be an inferior race, could actually control such terrifying monsters.

It's unbelievable that something like this could be mixed in with a bunch of insects.
"It was my carelessness."

The Balian lost consciousness. At the same time, his veil disappeared, and his body disintegrated, as if he had been stripped of all strength and transformed into a human form.

It's strange, actually. Theoretically speaking, the human form is just a disguise for the Balians to infiltrate the human world; their true appearance should be that of Balians.

However, when a Varia loses a duel, or even just when they suffer significant damage in a duel, they will deactivate their transformation and revert to their human form. This is how it is depicted in the anime.

This seems illogical at first glance. Human form should be an illusion they create; the Balians are their true selves. How could their true selves revert to an illusion after a defeat?

It felt as if the Balian's appearance was merely their fighting form, while their human form was their true nature.

In a way, this detail might be foreshadowing—the souls of the Seven Balian Emperors were originally human. Their belief that they were born superior Balians was merely a construct instilled in them by thousands of lords.

They were originally human beings, and should have been the wisest among humankind, possessing both the finest abilities and the noblest sentiments.

Yes, even the Seven Emperors, the fat otaku comedian who came to the human world and did nothing but stay in his little house all day watching anime, buying figurines and cheering for his idols, is no exception.

Kiragu fell into a complete coma.

His human form is actually quite comical, just like his character design. He has thick, sausage-like lips, and despite being a burly man, he has a pair of disproportionately small angel wings on his back. He has rock-like muscles, and the tuft of green hair on his bald head looks like a fish fin.

Anyone who sees Kira's face would probably believe that the saying "the face reflects the heart" is not entirely without merit, because this person's appearance is just as comical as his personality.

When You Xuan finished his duel, he looked up and saw that the spot where Mr. Xincheng had been was now empty.

It seems that Mr. Xincheng, seeing the great Seven Emperors of the Balian suffer a setback and realizing the situation was dire, quickly fled before the Thunder Emperor could instantly kill Kiragu. He had already made his escape.

Mr. Kokoro was the strongest of the four; with him gone, the rest posed no threat. Yuugen glanced around and felt that Yuuma and Kaito were more than capable of handling the current situation.

Then he can take the opportunity to achieve his original and most important purpose in coming to this dimension.

You Xuan looked up at the blood-red crack in the sky, the vortex that led to the world of Balian.

He was going to go to the other side of the vortex to talk to Vector in person.

The Silent Magician was summoned to her side, and with a flick of her wrist, she released a pale white magical halo. The white halo enveloped her and her master, and they both rose from the ground and flew towards the vortex in the sky.

Yuma, who was still dueling nearby, was taken aback: "Yugen? You want to?"

Kaito, standing to the side, also saw through Yuugen's intentions and was greatly surprised.

This guy actually wants to rush straight into the Barian dimension!

Kaito considered himself incredibly reckless, but he never expected that someone would be even braver than him. Keep in mind, that was outside the human world, a completely unknown dimension to them.

Even setting aside the fact that it was the enemy's stronghold, the situation and environment of the other world were a mystery to them, and it was hard to say whether they could survive there.

How dare this person raid a base without knowing any of this information?
What they didn't know was that they were the only ones completely ignorant about the situation in the Varia dimension. Although You Xuan wouldn't dare say he was particularly knowledgeable, he still had a general idea of ​​the situation in that dimension.

Those who have read the script have confidence.

Seemingly noticing their gaze, Yu Xuanfei, still in mid-air, turned and smiled at Yuma and Kaito. It was as if to say, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

I'll be right back.

A minute later, he had transformed into a pure white energy arrow, shot into the vortex in the air, and disappeared without a trace.

“You Xuan.” You Ma couldn’t help but worry.

Astral said, "Don't worry, Yuma, focus on our duel. Yu Xuan is very strong, much stronger than he has shown so far, and much stronger than we thought. He'll be fine."

“That makes sense.” Yuma nodded. “Alright! Then we need to take care of the enemy quickly.”

Kaito's duel is also nearing its end.

In fact, Kaito was in a tough spot in this duel. His opponent was "Mosquito Ninja" from the Kokoro quartet, and his ace was "NO.2 Mosquito Ninja - Shadow Mosquito," a fake numbered card created by the master of thousands.

[NO.2 Mosquito Ninja - Shadow Mosquito, Attack Power 0]

It wasn't that the opponent was particularly strong, putting Kaito in a difficult position; rather, the opponent resorted to underhanded tactics, biting Kaito with a high-tech mosquito carrying a virus, injecting it with toxins. This toxin would penetrate the duelist's body more rapidly as the game progressed, ultimately allowing the Mosquito Ninja to win without a fight.

But it doesn't matter.

Noticing he was poisoned, Kaito didn't give up. With a roar, he unleashed the Super Galaxy Eye. As the Super Galaxy Eye landed, his entire body turned crimson, and his rage seemed to materialize into flames, engulfing his entire body.

In that instant, the flames of the Super Galaxy Eye burned away all the toxins in his body.

It's on fire! (Physics)

The mosquito ninja was shocked: "Impossible! Why? How could my poison have lost its effectiveness?"

Kaito raised his fist, righteously declaring, "Because my duelist spirit will not allow me to fall before such dirty tricks! My duelist instincts activated my immune system, causing my blood to boil and my body temperature to rise sharply, instantly burning away all the toxins in my body!"

Well, there's almost no explanation that's scientifically related.

It's not scientific, but it's very Yu-Gi-Oh!

The mosquito ninja went berserk: "Is this even possible!?"

What the hell? Burning blood and rising body temperature? That's practically a superpower, isn't it?

Can you believe that playing cards can make you immune to all poisons?
"Are you ready to repent?!" Kaito shouted. "Super Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon, attack 'Number 2 Mosquito Ninja - Shadow Mosquito'!"

[Super Galaxy Eye Photon Dragon, Attack Power 4500]

[NO.2 Mosquito Ninja - Shadow Mosquito, Attack Power 0]

"Wait a minute!" the Mosquito Ninja quickly said, "Shadow Mosquitoes take 0 damage from combat and cannot be destroyed by combat! Furthermore, when an opponent attacks, you can remove excess materials to place an 'Illusion Counter' on the opponent!"

Monsters with Illusion Counters placed on them will have their effects negated. Furthermore, if Shadow Mosquito battles a monster with an Illusion Counter placed on it, the opponent will take the battle damage instead. (Animation effect)

The mosquito ninja's lips curled up, revealing a sneer of triumph.

If you place a marker on the Super Galaxy Eye, and the two sides engage in combat again, it will reflect 4500 combat damage in one go.
Won!

Kaito said expressionlessly, "When the Super Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon is summoned, all face-up cards on the field, except for the Super Galaxy Eyes—including your 'Mosquito Ninja Shadow Mosquito'—have their effects negated!"

The mosquito ninja's smile froze instantly.

After a few seconds, his expression gradually became exaggerated.

"Nanani!?"
