Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1545 Protect the Enemy's Deck
[Mr. Xincheng, LP0]

Mr. Xincheng's eyes rolled back, losing their luster, and his body, having suffered the final impact, seemed weightless as it hovered in mid-air.

They still lost.

This time, they should have stood on the right side; they should have chosen the victor's camp.

Yes, he believed that the thousands of sovereigns would win, and that mere humans were no match for such a powerful being. Just as he firmly believed that even if the world ended and humanity was destroyed, he would still survive, and even thrive, and would still be able to hold onto power in the new world and new order.

So why did it turn out this way?
In order to survive and for power, he abandoned his family and his own name, and eventually stood at the pinnacle of power in the Heart City.

Now, in order to survive a greater crisis and for more power, he has even abandoned his identity as a human being and his own race.

Even so, they still didn't survive to the end.
What he least expected was that at the end of his ridiculous life, in his final moments, his father's face would appear before his eyes.

The father who taught him to survive by any means necessary, but who was ultimately abandoned along with his family.

"It seems we made the wrong choice after all, Father."

However, the next moment, the image of his father that appeared like a revolving lantern suddenly began to distort in his eyes.

The human face vanished, twisting and contorting into a dark, chaotic shape. Its dark face, with demonic eyes burning like will-o'-the-wisps, grew wildly and limitlessly, instantly reaching the heavens and obscuring the entire world as seen by Mr. Xincheng.

That is... thousands of lords!

In an instant, even consciousness that had been nearly annihilated was awakened. Mr. Xincheng's pupils contracted in his consciousness space as he exclaimed, "Lord Qianqian! Wait, wait a moment!"

But the other party did not stop, and seemed not to have heard him at all. He simply slowly opened his five fingers and stretched out his huge palm towards him, as big as the Five Finger Mountain pressing down on Sun Wukong.

"You had your chance, but you missed it."

A cold voice echoed in Mr. Xincheng's mind.

"No more."

"Wait, please! Next time, and the time after that, give me another chance, I promise, I promise... Ahhh—"

The screams were extinguished by an immense force, crushing all of Mr. Xincheng's resentment and will to survive into dust.

"."

You Xuan looked at Mr. Xincheng, who was falling from mid-air and whose body was disintegrating into energy fragments.

"He actually died outright." You Xuan rested his chin on his hand. "Was it the will of the Thousand Lords?"

Although the main bodies of the thousands of masters are not here, the power erupting at this moment does indeed appear to be similar. It was probably buried within Mr. Heart City from the beginning, like a time bomb, set to detonate if he makes a mistake.

Seeing Mr. Xincheng's body disintegrate, and the energy continuing to devour and decompose everything that remained, You Xuan quickly made a hand gesture to indicate this.

In the same instant, a flash of white light appeared, and the Silent Magician leaped out of the transparent magic circle, his pure white staff, already prepared and ready to unleash its spell, pointed forward.

The white light surged forth like a fountain, instantly transforming into a semi-transparent protective shield that quickly closed in.
The deck left behind by Mr. Heart City is protected within it.

Yes, Mr. Kokoro was indeed killed, but his deck was protected by a white light just before it was corrupted. The pure white shield was surrounded by intricate white magic circles, and the corrosive darkness erupting from Mr. Kokoro's body continuously washed over the magic barrier, but it couldn't damage it in the slightest. The dark aura seemed to realize it couldn't harm the white barrier, so it retreated, coalescing into a half-humanoid shape before its remaining power dissipated.

The Lord of a Thousand: "."

To be honest, this is probably the first time I've ever seen a con artist like this in all my years of life; I've never encountered anyone like this before.

How could someone's first reaction after a duel end be to summon a spirit to protect the opponent's deck?

However, to be honest, there was no need for You Xuan to remind her; the Silent Magician was already prepared. Her staff had been gathering magical energy, ready to be unleashed, which is why she was able to appear so quickly the moment her master gave the order.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to act so quickly if we waited for orders to be given.

In other words, Silence had actually anticipated that its master would ask it to intervene and protect the opponent's deck.
"If you want it so badly, then you can have it," the remnant of the Thousand Lords said coldly.

Although Mr. Xincheng possessed "NO.1," it was ultimately crafted by thousands of masters, with only a slight increase in power infused into it, so it wasn't particularly precious. Its loss was no big deal; there was no real heartache involved.

The opponent actually forcibly took the destroyed deck from him and then snatched it away right in front of him. Such arrogant thievery... No, this can't even be called thievery; this is blatant robbery without any attempt to conceal it.

Such behavior alone can be considered a blatant disrespect for him as a god. How dare a mortal act in this way?
“I will remember you, human,” said the Thousand Lords. “We will meet again.”

After saying this, the last trace of something disappeared, turning into smoke.

"Yeah, probably."

You Xuan shrugged and said.

"But don't keep me waiting too long."

You Xuan took the deck of cards that floated over from Mo Chen's hand, unfolded it, and quickly scanned it.

Mr. Kokoro's original domain should belong to the "Infection" series, but this deck only had a few cards in the anime, and its presence was low and its popularity was not high, so it has not been made into a physical card yet.

The most noteworthy is undoubtedly the ace monster, the "NO.1" Infected Fly Lord Baalzeb. However, its summoning condition requires three Level 8 monsters, making its appearance rather difficult, and considering the summoning conditions, it's not very useful.

Of course, You Xuan would keep it for now. You can never have too many cards; even if you don't use them, it's always good to have them on hand.

If one day in the future I happen to acquire a very powerful and fast-spreading eight-star specialized deck, this card might come in handy then.

Conversely, if we don't prepare now, it would be a real shame if we suddenly found out that we didn't have a single usable terminal in our Extra Deck when we finally had a powerful eight-star deck.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, there are very few cards that are truly useless; they are more about cards with relatively few applicable scenarios. However, given specific environments and conditions, theoretically any card could have a chance to be useful.

This is why people often say that if Konami (the game's developer) is truly willing to strengthen a deck, they can carry even the worst deck to success. There are no decks that can't be carried, only decks that aren't strong enough.

At this moment, ZONE also increased its altitude and slowly flew in front of You Xuan, casting an interested glance from beneath its armor.

"Xyz Summon, huh?"
