Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1541 This time there really are no plot holes.
Removing materials and exploding cards is the main offensive effect of the Infected Fly King.

If it destroys a monster, it can inflict damage to the opponent equal to that monster's ATK. However, in the physical card version, this damage has been reduced to half its ATK. Furthermore, its ability to attack again this turn after using its card-destroying effect makes it more versatile.

"What I'm going to destroy, of course, is the 'Great Rafflesia Insect Temptation'!" Mr. Kokoro's arm slashed down like a blade. "Get out of here!"

One of the surrounding supermaterials was absorbed by Baalzeb, as if all the energy in his body had been mobilized and filled into the infected Fly King's arm, resulting in an explosive impact like purple-black lightning.

“Then activate the face-down card,” You Xuan said. “The Trap Card ‘Fantasy Curse’!”
This card can select one monster on the field, reducing that monster's ATK by 500 until the end of this turn, and negating its effects. (Original card)
A six-pointed star-shaped curse appeared behind the infected Fly King, instantly binding him. The Fly King's body crackled with electricity, and the pent-up purple-black lightning immediately subsided, his entire aura seemingly wilting.

[NO.1 Infected Fly King Baalzebub, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 2500]

"Tch, it didn't work on infecting the Fly King," Mr. Heart City said. "But don't think that this is enough to leave me helpless. Don't underestimate me!"

I normally summon 'Tiger' from my hand!

Next to be summoned was a plain and unadorned striped tiger, but it was also wearing armor and protective gear, including a helmet, gauntlets, and armor on its torso, making it look like a fierce tiger general.

[Tiger, Attack Power 1700]

"Tiger's Monster Effect: While this card is on the field, reduce the ATK of all monsters on the field by 500!"

This effect is indiscriminate. The tiger raised its head and roared, the king of beasts howling through the forest, as if transparent sound waves erupted from its mouth, sweeping across the entire area. Both You Xuan's Rafflesia and Mr. Xincheng's own infected Fly King were affected.

[NO.1 Infected Fly King Baalzebub, Attack Power 2500 → Attack Power 2000]

Mr. Xincheng eagerly continued, "Furthermore, Tiger can destroy all monsters on the field with an attack power lower than its own once per turn! This will make your Trap Hollow..."

"Ahem, sorry to disturb you while you were engrossed in your own world." You Xuan coughed. "The Tiger is indeed a pretty good and powerful lower-level monster. My Great Flower Insect Temptation only has an attack power of 300, so it is indeed countered by this monster, provided that your monster's effect can be activated."

Mr. Xincheng: "What?"

Only then did he come to his senses and notice the face-down card that had been flipped over in the opponent's backcourt at some point.

To fall into a pit.

This can be activated when the opponent summons a monster with an attack power of 1000 or higher, and that monster will be destroyed immediately.

The deep pit immediately opened up at the tiger's feet. The king of beasts was still busy raising his head and roaring, but halfway through his roar, he suddenly fell into the pit. His domineering roar turned into a long series of screams, and he disappeared without a trace after falling into the pit.

"Tch, another trap?"

Mr. Xincheng was slightly annoyed.

Sure enough, he knew this guy wouldn't just give in so easily. He wouldn't succeed easily without overcoming numerous obstacles and falling into a few traps.

But it doesn't matter!

"Activate the Spell Card 'Monster Resurrection'!" Mr. Kokoro immediately played Monster Resurrection. "This card can revive monsters from the Graveyard onto the field."

I will resurrect the 'Tiger' you just destroyed from the graveyard!

The mark of resurrection appeared in the air, then dispersed into points of light a few seconds later. The light particles coalesced and reformed into the form of a fierce tiger. The king of beasts descended for the second time, letting out another roar, its power undiminished, as if proclaiming the return of its king to all beasts!
[Tiger, Attack Power 1700] "You think I didn't expect you to use traps to hinder this?" Mr. Xincheng laughed heartily. "In this way, all the traps in your back row have been used up!"
Now I'm going to activate the effect of 'Tiger' again and destroy all monsters with an attack power lower than Tiger! Give me your Great Flower Trapinch.

"What an impatient old man, he won't listen to anyone at all."

You Xuan interrupted the spellcasting again, shaking his head.

"While I've indeed eliminated my traps on the field, who says I'm free of pitfalls?"

Mr. Heart City: "What?!"

"The effect of the Giant Flower Trap Card removes one Xyz Material and sends one 'Hole' or 'Trap Hole' Trap Card from your Deck to the Graveyard that meets the activation conditions. This effect becomes the same as when that Trap Card was activated."

Furthermore, the effect of the Giant Flower's Trap Hole can be activated during the opponent's turn.

A card popped out of Yu Xuan's deck.

"I sent 'Bore's Trap Hole' from my deck to the graveyard, and activated its effect using 'Trap Hole's Grand Flower'—"

—When your opponent summons a monster with an ATK of 1500 or higher, destroy that monster and remove it from the game!

The bewitching girls immediately got to work, absorbing one of the two surrounding super-materials. Naraku's trap card appeared out of thin air, circled twice in mid-air, and then quickly dissipated, its overflowing energy being absorbed by the girls without leaving a drop.

A bottomless abyss leading to another dimension opened up beneath the tiger's feet. Just as the king of beasts was about to roar, he fell into the abyss again and vanished without a trace.

Mr. Xincheng's forehead involuntarily formed a "well" shape.

"asshole."

Even after using up all the traps on the field, you can still activate them from your deck?
As expected, the duelists of beasts are monsters that can fight beasts.

ZONE, standing to the side, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow inside his levitation device.

ZONE can actually be considered a trap enthusiast, and he's done specialized research in this area. In the anime, when ZONE first played, he unleashed several traps from his hand in quick succession, leaving the 5DS protagonists astonished. They wondered if he was a VIP player, as all his traps could be triggered from his hand.
However, even for the well-informed ZONE, a trap activated directly from the deck was still a rare sight. He couldn't help but glance at Youxuan, thinking that this person seemed to have gone even further down the path of creating traps since he last saw him.

The younger generation is truly formidable.

"Alright, no more traps this time, really no more." You Xuan spread his hands, confidently stating, "Go ahead and do it, I guarantee there really won't be any more traps this time."

Mr. Xincheng: "."

Why should I move? What a load of rubbish!

Baalzib's attack power has been reduced to 2500, which is only equivalent to the defense power of the Giant Flower Trap, so there is no point in attacking it.

Mr. Xincheng waved his hand again with a cold face and said, "Three cards are placed face down on the field. The turn is over."
