Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1557 Soul Puppet Master
"A direct attack from 'Beetle-Mounted Centipede'!"

You Xuan gave the order, and the centipede leaped forward, its giant pincers slashing down with a silver arc of light.

The thousand clones neither dodged nor evaded, but simply stood still and took the blow. The impact of the centipede caused his body to slide back slightly due to inertia, but he immediately regained his balance, seemingly unconcerned about such an impact and pain.

[Thousand clones, LP4000 → LP2400]

"Alright! Attack passed!" Jack said. "Youxuan's side still has 'Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly' with its attack power now at 2400 that hasn't attacked yet. As long as Damselfly's next attack also passes..."

"One kill!" Kro exclaimed. "That's too strong!"

“You Xuan.” Qiu Chang looked at him with admiration.

At this moment, she could only think that this man's strength was truly limitless; even if the opponent was a god, he could still kill him so easily.

"Beetle-mounted machine - Damselfly, direct attack," You Xuan said again.

At the same time, he also revealed a playful yet expectant expression.

Could the thousands of avatars of the Lord be dealt with so easily?
Or.
"Activate face-down card." Sure enough, the Thousand Clone's backrow reacted, "Continuous Trap 'Damage Pot'! It can be activated when battle damage occurs, reducing all battle damage to both players from that battle to 0!" (Anime Card)
A huge pot-shaped object squeezed out of the trap card of the thousand clones, and the top of the pot popped open, revealing a gap.

At this moment, Damselfly gained mantis-themed weapons on her arms, transitioning from ranged to melee combat. She leaped forward and swung her sword. But as her sword fell, the blade seemed to strike a transparent golden barrier, the impact being completely absorbed and transformed into streams of light that were drawn into the damage pot.

The gaps on the lid of the pot disappeared, absorbing and sealing all the damage into the giant pot.

"Ha, as expected, it won't be that easy to take down Lord Qianzun." You Xuan smiled, not in a hurry, and inserted three more cards into the Duel Disk slots in turn. "Then, I'll put three more face-down cards in the back row."

Three black face-down cards appeared in the back row with a swipe, leaving only one area in You Xuan's back row in an instant. He quickly revealed another spell card, occupying the last spell/trap zone as well.

“Continuous Spell 'Nightmare Mirage'. This card allows you to draw cards from your deck during your opponent's Standby Phase until you have four cards in your deck.” Yu Xuan’s back row Continuous Spell appeared, its pale golden light refracting the air and distorting space. “However, during my next Standby Phase, I need to randomly discard the corresponding number of cards from my hand based on the number drawn through this card’s effect.”

"The round is over."

The moment he uttered the word "end," the Thousand Venerable clone shouted, "Activate the face-down card the instant you finish your phase!"
Trap Card 'Corpse Star'! (Anime Card)
A new trap was activated, and "NO.70 Great Sin Spider," which had been defeated this turn, reappeared on the field of the Thousand Lords' clones. However, this time the Great Sin Spider appeared transparent, like a ghost.

"Only during the End Phase of the turn a 'Number' monster on your field is destroyed can you Xyz Summon one Rank 4 or lower Fiend-Type DARK Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck!"

"Xyz!?" Aki looked surprised. "But doesn't Xyz Summoning require monsters of the same level as materials? He doesn't have a single material on his field right now?"

“Exactly,” the Thousand-Supreme Clone said coldly. “When using the effect of ‘Corpse Star’ for an Xyz Summon, you can Special Summon the required number of DARK monsters from the Graveyard to the field to serve as Xyz Materials.”

Furthermore, regardless of the original star level of the material monsters selected from the graveyard, their levels will now be converted to the required material level for the targeted Xyz Monster!

The thousand clones raised their arms, and the vortex of the graveyard seemed to open with this movement. Two beams of dark light intertwined and flew out from within, the darkness transforming into the shapes of two monsters.

"Special Summon two DARK monsters from the graveyard: 'Summoner Monk' and 'Intercept Fiend'!"

The two summoned materials used in the first round—the black-robed, red-eyed monk and the six-armed, ferocious demon—have both returned to the Thousand-Summoned Doppelganger field. [Summoned Monk, ATK 800]

[Intercept Demon, Attack Power 1400]

"I'll upgrade both the Summoning Monk and the Intercepting Demon to 2 stars!" said the Thousand-Star clone. "Then, based on the effect of 'Corpse Star Fusion,' I'll use these two 2-star monsters to Xyz Summon!"
Come on! NO.43 Soul Puppet Demon - Soul Puppet Master!

Just from its name, you can tell it's a monster that has nothing to do with the mortal world, and indeed, the one that appeared in the super-strong storm was such a monster.

Its body was pitch black, the main part of which seemed to have no solid form at all, but rather to be composed of a dark and deep mist. Several slender and twisted arms extended from the misty main body, each hand with sharp five fingers. The golden number "NO.43" was imprinted on the misty body, standing out conspicuously against the dark torso.

[NO.43 Soul Puppet Demon - Soul Puppet Master, Attack Power 0]

Yusei: "Number 0 attack power!"

His tone revealed that he wasn't dismissive of the 0-attack Xyz Scaling, but rather, based on his extensive experience, he immediately sensed that the newcomer was up to no good.

"Soul Puppet Master's effect! When this card is successfully Xyz Summoned, you can select one monster in your Graveyard with 'NO.' in its name as an Equip Card and equip it to Soul Puppet Master."

The Thousand Venerable Avatars.

"I equipped the Soul Puppet Master with 'Number 70 Great Sin Spider' from the graveyard!"

Since he was called a puppeteer, he naturally needed to have corresponding puppets. His long, withered arms moved in unison, and his sharp fingertips shot out countless almost invisible threads.

The silk threads sank into the ground like countless fishing lines sinking into the water, accompanied by a violent ripple, and quickly pulled the Great Sin Spider in the graveyard back to the surface, where it was manipulated at will as its puppet.

"Furthermore, at the end of this round, the effect of the Continuous Spell 'Throne of a Thousand Sovereigns' has also activated!" the Thousand Sovereign clone said. "At the end of each round, I can restore my health as a percentage of the total damage I received this round!" (Animation effect)

As he spoke, an undercurrent surged, and energy poured from the enormous throne into the bodies of the thousand avatars like a vast ocean.

[Thousand clones, LP2400 → LP4000]

"What?" Yusei and the others were all surprised when they heard this effect.

"Hey, what kind of effect is this? This is way too unfair!" Kro exclaimed. "It can recover no matter how much damage it takes, isn't that practically immortality?!"

Jack crossed his arms and said, "So, you mean it can only be a one-hit kill within one round?"

But the combo attacks of the Thousand Clone continued: "And, the moment my health was restored, the Soul Puppet Master's effect was activated."

When the Soul Puppet Master's health is restored, their attack power increases by that amount, and they then deal damage equal to that amount of health to the opponent! (Animation effect)
