Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1542 Picked Up by Skill

“Face three cards, turn is over,” Mr. Heart City said.

"Wow, three cards in one go, that really puts a lot of pressure on people."

You Xuan rubbed his hands together.

"Alright, so now let's see what I should do."

He then began his card-drawing phase. You Xuan drew a card, his eyes scanning it out of the corner of his eye the instant it was drawn, before his tone rose in a relaxed manner.

"Alright, then I'll have to ask you for help next. Come on! Fly Hell Temptress!"

The new insect-bewitching girl bounced lively onto the field, playfully sticking out her tongue.

[Fly Prison Insect Bewitching Demon, Attack Power 1700]

"When you successfully summon Trappet Fly, you can Special Summon 1 Trappet Monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position." Yuugen raised his Duel Disk. "Special Summon 'Trappet Fly' from the Graveyard."

The Xyz Material from the previous turn, which was used to activate the effect of the Giant Flower, was removed and sent to the Graveyard. A burst of green light gathered on the field, and the Trappet of the Light Fungi flew back to the field at the call of its ally. At the same time, it stretched out its fair little hand and gave a crisp high five to the Fly Hell Trappet Loli.

"Set another card face down in the back row."

Yu Xuan inserted the face-down card into the back slot of the Duel Disk, but immediately removed it as soon as he inserted it. The speed of insertion and removal was so fast that the image of the face-down card did not even have time to be projected onto the field.

“By sending a face-down Trap Card from the back row to the Graveyard, this card in my hand can be Special Summoned,” Yu Xuan said. “I Special Summon ‘Bungee Trap’.”

The green vegetation bloomed on the field, as if opening its mouth to swallow the card that Yu Xuan had placed in the back row.

As if she had absorbed the trap card as nourishment, the insect-bewitching girl, dressed in green with a skirt made of green leaves, lay prone on the field, her bare feet and legs dangling in the air, her hands supporting her chin with a sly smile on her face.

【Bewildering Insect Demon, Attack Power 1400】

Mr. Xincheng: "Even if more of these weak monsters come, it won't matter."

He paused, then his expression changed drastically: "Wait, there are three level four monsters now, are you going to...!?"

Mr. Xincheng suddenly realized that the summoning condition was three four-star monsters.
Although the most threatening monster in the opponent's Extra Deck, "Herald of the Shield," has been dealt with, there should still be monsters in the opponent's Extra Deck that can fulfill this Summoning condition.
"I'm stacking three level four monsters on top of each other: 'Temptor of the Raccoon Algae', 'Temptor of the Fly Hell', and 'Temptor of the Glowing Mushroom'!"

You Xuanlang said in a clear voice.

"Build a superimposed network using three monsters, and Xyz Summon!"

The three bewitching girls, who had been sitting or lying down, suddenly rose in unison and transformed into beams of light that shot into the sky. The three beams intersected, opening up the overlapping light network and unleashing a chaotic and violent energy completely different from that of the bewitching demons during their previous overload.

The number 102 burst forth from the light curtain and was imprinted on the armor, which resembled a golden structure. The golden holy warrior raised his hand, and thousands of swirling light particles converged in his hand to form a bow. The bowstring radiated golden light, as if echoing the gleaming armor on his chest.

"NO.102 Angel of Light - Radiant Halo!"

That's right, it is the soul of Drube. The former soul, the symbol of the seven kings of the Valiant, number 102 of the hundred, the Radiant Angel.

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

At this moment, Drube recalled that in his past life he was irreconcilably opposed to the Thousand Lords, and this radiant halo was a curse placed upon him by the Thousand Lords, naturally rendering it useless. Since he no longer wanted it, the radiant halo naturally became ownerless. Being ownerless, You Xuan readily picked it up.
I found it by my own skill.

"You bastard, you actually dared to give out numbers over a hundred!?" Mr. Xincheng shouted.

He was indeed somewhat shocked.

Yes, he already knew from his review of the Extra Deck that the opponent had over a hundred cards in their Extra Deck. Although he was somewhat surprised at the time, he didn't think this person would necessarily have the guts to use them.

Ordinary numbered cards can create a certain burden for the holder, and ordinary people without special abilities are easily distracted and lose themselves, so caution is needed when using them.

The hundreds of numbers, exclusive to the Seven Varia Emperors, are far more powerful than ordinary numbers. Furthermore, these numbers represent the concrete manifestation of the curses cast upon the Seven Varia Emperors by thousands of masters; misuse of them could directly offend these thousands of masters.

Is this person completely unafraid?
Mr. Xincheng was shocked, but You Xuan remained calm.

Of course he wasn't afraid. The numbered cards were said to be a considerable burden on the user, but he already had an entire army of elves to help him share the load, including many god-level monsters. In addition, after becoming a Dark Duelist, he had experienced countless battles and had already cultivated to a considerable level, so even without the elves sharing the burden, he could withstand it with his own soul.

As for the curse of the thousands of lords?
Anyway, since the Lord of a Thousand is still low on health, it's better for him to show himself, saving You Xuan the trouble of searching for him. Luckily, God ZONE is here too. If he were to be so foolish as to show himself now, You Xuan and God ZONE would immediately work together to suppress his remaining soul, completely extinguishing any hope of his resurrection.

Unfortunately, it seems that none of the thousands of old artifacts have appeared to give them away for free, which is a bit of a shame.

"The effect of NO.102, Angel of Light - Radiant Ring," Yu Xuan said, "Remove one Xyz Material, negate the effects of one monster your opponent controls, and reduce its ATK to half!"
I've halved the attack power of 'Number One Infected Fly Lord Baalzebub', and nullified its effect!

The abundant surrounding materials transformed into golden light and were absorbed into the chest of the Radiant Ring. The entire armor of the Radiant Ring began to shine brightly, and the bow in its hand, along with the bowstring, also glowed with golden light.

Pure energy condensed into an arrow, its arrowhead a spiraling vortex of light. Huihuan released his right hand abruptly, the fully drawn bowstring snapped open, and the arrow shot through the air with the speed of light.

Mr. Heart City knew that if the effects and attack power were taken away, the infected Fly King would become a tiger with its teeth pulled, powerless to resist.

That won't work!

"Activate face down card, Continuous Trap 'Chain of Demons'!"

Mr. Xincheng shouted, activating a powerful binding trap. The eerie green demonic chains bound Huihuan from head to toe, instantly dimming the golden light flowing around his body.

"Hey, I was quite surprised that you could actually control over a hundred of the seven Balian emperors' numbers," Mr. Heart City said. "But it seems I'm still a cut above the rest!"
Monsters bound by the Demon Chains cannot attack, cannot change their battle position, and their effects are nullified! In that case, your hundred or so monsters are nothing more than pretty decorations!

"That seems to be the case."

You Xuan nodded, but remained neither surprised nor anxious, as if this minor setback was within his expectations.

"Then I'll borrow the power of this card again."

You Xuan calmly showed another card in his hand.

This card also nearly made Mr. Xincheng's jaw drop once again.

"Advancement Magic—"

—The power of the Balian!
