Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1540 Lord of the Flies
Double it, double it, and double it again!
[Infected Fly, LV1→ LV2→ LV4→ LV8] x3
The three consecutive doubling attacks instantly transformed all the originally one-star weaklings into eight-star monsters.

"Next, I'll stack the three 'Infected Flies' that have become eight stars! The three monsters form a stacking network, Xyz Summon!"

Mr. Xincheng opened his arms as if to embrace someone and laughed heartily.

"It's here! I can feel it! The power bestowed upon me by Lord Qianzun! Lord Qianzun's aura is surging through my veins!"

A deep, dark melody echoes through the fantasy, the incredible King of Flies! Appear—

—NO.1 Infected Fly Lord Baalzeb!!!

A pair of compound eyes shone with a terrifying red light deep within the purplish-black clouds, as if a giant fly had acquired a human form and descended like a giant, with three purplish-black materials swirling around it.

[NO.1 Infected Fly King Baalzebub, Attack Power 3000]

NO.1, just from the number one, you can tell that it is definitely extraordinary. Even if it is a counterfeit version, this number can still represent its strength and status in the numbering series.

Not to mention the demanding summoning requirement of three eight-star monsters, which further proves that it is a worthy ace.

“Wow, the Lord of the Thousand has given you number one, this is interesting,” You Xuan said.

"Your leisurely pace should end here!" Mr. Heart City shouted. "If this card is successfully Xyz Summoned, you can examine your opponent's Extra Deck and send one card from it to the Graveyard!"

"Can it target the effects of the Extra Deck?" ZONE nodded inside the device. "That's a rare ability."

"Come on, let me see your extra deck."

Mr. Kokoro narrowed his eyes, and the monsters from his Extra Deck were projected onto his face.

"Wow, your Extra Deck looks like it has a pretty powerful monster. Looks like we need to eliminate that threat first."

Mr. Xincheng pointed to one of the cards and shouted.

"Send 'NO.69 Herald God - Shield' to the graveyard."

The infected Fly King flapped its wings faster, and a transparent vortex of energy burst forth around its body. A beam of purple light shot into the sky from Yu Xuan's Extra Deck, circled twice in mid-air, and then plunged into the vortex in the graveyard.

This time, the Herald God's Shield didn't get a chance to appear before going to the graveyard ahead of time.

Xyz Monsters have a revival restriction; they cannot be revive if they are sent directly to the Graveyard without a proper summoning. Furthermore, even if some extraordinary method were used to revive them by circumventing the revival restriction, Xyz Monsters revive from the Graveyard do not have Xyz Materials, so there is no point in reviving them.

So this move is basically equivalent to banning the shield emblem. Unless you can retrieve it from the graveyard to the Extra Deck and then perform a regular summon, but that would be too cumbersome.

"Well, my turn ends here." Mr. Kokoro chuckled sinisterly. "The effects of infecting the Fly King go far beyond this. You'll experience it for yourself, just by being aware of how terrifying the initial number, No. 1, truly is!"

“You talk like this is the real No. 1,” You Xuan said. “My turn, draw a card.”

You Xuan lightly ran his fingertips along the edge of the six cards in his hand, and then quickly selected one of them.

"Then let's summon this card first."

The orchid-like insect demon is displaying an aggressive stance.

The bewitching maiden was summoned to the scene, and enormous orchid petals unfurled, resembling a throne. The petite girl sat within the flower's heart, her bare feet dangling in the air, swaying back and forth.

【Orchid Trap Monster, ATK 1500】 "When Orchid Trap Monster is successfully summoned, add 1 'Trap Monster' monster from your Deck to your hand."

A card popped out of You Xuan's deck, and he pinched it between two fingers and pulled it out.

“Add ‘Trap Crypt of the Light’ from your deck to your hand.” Yu Xuan showed the Trap Crypt of the Light in his hand. “Using the monster effect of ‘Trap Crypt of the Light’, this card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand if you control ‘Trap Crypt’.”

I Special Summon 'Trapika of the Light Mushroom' from my hand.

Yu Xuan slammed the monster card from his hand onto the Duel Disk. A surge of green light appeared on the field, and the green-haired insect-spirited girl entered the field with a yandere-like giggle.

[Light-Infused Mushroom Bewitching Demon, Attack Power 1300]

"I Xyz Summon 'Orchid Trap' and 'Light Mushroom Trap' at level 4, creating a superimposed network with these two monsters—"

—The Bewitching Insect of the Rafflesia!

Two girls transformed into two-colored beams of light, spiraling upwards before crashing to the ground in an intertwined fashion. The spiraling network of overlapping light erupted with tidal waves of energy, and colorful, pure, and adorable insect-bewitching girls emerged, instantly filling the air with a sweet and cloying fragrance.

[Rafflesia's Insect Temptation, Defense 2500]

"Oh, so an Xyz Summon was performed immediately," Mr. Kokoro said. "But it's a rare Xyz Summon that's a Defense Monster, still just reinforcing its defenses. Heh heh, though he doesn't say it, he's clearly afraid of the power bestowed upon me by Lord Senzo, huh? Hahaha—"

"Yes, yes, I'm terrified, so you'll have to go easy on me."

You Xuan smiled and then drew two more cards from his hand, inserting them into the back of the game.

"Then I'll set two more cards face down, and the turn is over."

Two face-down cards appeared in his backcourt trap zone.

Mr. Xincheng said smugly, "Don't worry, I'll finish this quickly. My turn, draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card 'Book in a Pot', and both players draw three cards from their decks."

He drew a card, and before he could even add it to his hand, he impatiently raised his hand and commanded: "NO.1 Infected Fly Lord Baalzeb, activate effect!"
Once per turn, you can select one monster with 'NO.' in its name from your opponent's Graveyard, place that monster underneath this card, and absorb it as Xyz Material! (Original effect)

The actual card significantly enhanced this effect. In the anime, it could only absorb Number 1 cards as material, making it a joke if the opponent wasn't a Number 1 user. However, the actual card can freely absorb any card from the opponent's Graveyard each turn.

Although You Xuan did not summon NO., the graveyard already contained "NO.69 Emblem God - Shield" that Mr. Xincheng had sent to the graveyard in the previous round.

But then the Infected Fly King flapped its wings again, and purplish-black energy, like tentacles of uncertain form, pierced straight into You Xuan's graveyard. Half a second later, the Emblem God's Shield was bound by those tentacles, forcibly dragged out of the graveyard's vortex, and pulled back to Mr. Heart City's field, turning into Xyz Material that swirled around the Infected Fly King.

"Hahaha, now you can't even bring the shield back from the graveyard to the Extra Deck to Xyz Summon it!" Mr. Heart City laughed loudly. "Only NO. can defeat it, but against the Infected Fly King, you can't even summon NO!"

You Xuan read in a flat, emotionless voice: "Oh dear, that's really scary."

However, he never intended to retrieve the emblem from the graveyard. In fact, his deck didn't even contain cards with that effect today. So he didn't care if his opponent absorbed it.

"The horror of the infected Fly King is only just beginning!" Mr. Heart City said with a sinister smile. "NO.1 Infected Fly King Baalzeb, activate another effect!"
Once per turn, remove one Xyz Material and choose to destroy any card on your opponent's field!

Furthermore, if this effect is used to select a monster card, it can also inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK! (Original effect)
