Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1560 Puppet Gods and Demons

Jack: "Great, the attack power is even!"

But Kro immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "But even if the attack power is the same, the opponent is 'NO.'. Besides, the monster called Soul Puppet Master's 'NO.' equipment status is indestructible."

"Of course I know about this!" Jack said proudly, arms crossed. "Hmph, but since it's that You Xuan, he must already have a plan."

Yu Xuan's actions continued as expected: "I then equipped the 'Beetle Machine - Locust' that I had retrieved in the previous round to the Bean Girl."

The beetle warrior in green armor was summoned, and its form changed in mid-air, transforming into a green blade that fell into the hands of the damselfly.

At this moment, the Bean Girl had acquired various equipment, making her fully armed to the teeth. Her size had increased several times compared to her initial petite figure, and her strength had also soared significantly.

[Beetle-Mounted Damselfly, Attack Power 4800]

"They've equipped themselves with new weaponry again," the Thousand-Emperor clone pondered. "But their attack power remains unchanged. In other words, is it equipment that can grant the Bean Maiden new abilities?"

"You guessed right, but sorry, there's no prize."

You Xuan waved his hand.

"I activate the effect of 'Beetle Mechanized Locust'. By sending the Locust, which is used as an Equip Card, to the Graveyard, the monster equipped to this card can attack directly this turn!"

A thousand clones: "!"

Attack power of 4800 direct attack!

This statement greatly surprised not only the swindler but also the members of 5DS, who were his teammates.

"So that's how it is! There's another trick to it!" Crocodile exclaimed happily.

“Yes, no matter how invincible that No. is, as long as we get past this barrier and go straight for the main body, we can definitely kill it in one blow!” Jack said. “Moreover, with an attack power of 4,800, if we get through this attack, even the ‘Seat of the Thousand Lords’ will be useless. Let’s take it down in one fell swoop with this momentum, Yu Xuan!”

You Xuan's arm slashed down like a drawn blade: "Beetle Mechanism - Damselfly, direct attack!"

The locust-shaped blade was enveloped in a pale golden light, and in a moment it disintegrated into countless points of light. The damselfly leaped into the air, its mantis-shaped weapon slashing out from a distance, the crescent-shaped transparent blade energy carving a long crack in the ground.

"Activate the face-down card!" said the Thousand-Supreme Clone. "Trap Card 'Earthbound Spirit's Temptation'!"
When your opponent declares an attack, you can designate your target. Applying this effect, I will change your attack target to 'Number 43 Soul Puppet Ghost - Soul Puppet Master' on my field!

A sinister earthbound spirit flew out of the trap card image. The transparent ghost circled the Bean Maiden halfway around. The Bean Maiden's blade trembled, and the blade energy she unleashed immediately changed direction, heading towards the sinister puppeteer in front of the swindler.

The puppeteer immediately retaliated, flicking his fingers to wield his silken threads. The giant spider puppet he controlled instantly charged towards the blade of energy.

"Damn it, it's been neutralized!" Kro exclaimed. "If we have to attack the Soul Puppet Master now, both sides will have the same attack power, but the opponent can't be destroyed. Only You Xuan's Bean Maiden will be affected."

With just one trap, the situation reversed once again.

But Yu Xuan remained calm and only played one more card from his hand: "Then I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell 'Duel Fusion' from my hand!"
When monsters from both sides are battling, this card increases the ATK of your monsters by the same amount as the ATK of your opponent's monsters! (Animation effect)

The instant the quick-attack spell appeared on the field, dark energy was instantly drawn from the opposing Soul Puppet Master and the Great Sin Spider (who was also a puppet), flowing into the damselfly's body. The damselfly, already several times larger than usual, surged even more powerfully, becoming even stronger after absorbing her opponent's power.

[Beetle Mechanic - Damselfly, Attack Power 4800 → Attack Power 9600]

"Attack power of 9,600!" Jack, who was just watching from the sidelines, seemed to feel his blood boiling.

Kro also said, "Too strong! You Xuan is indeed ridiculously strong. Even if his sure-kill move is neutralized, he still has a sure-kill counterattack!"

This strike dealt 4,800 damage, yet it still ignored the "Thousand Lords' Jade Throne" effect and instantly killed the target!

But at this moment, the thousand clones' eyes blazed with red light, their five fingers spread wide, and they shouted sharply, "Then at this very moment, the final effect of the Jade Throne of the Thousand Sovereigns will be activated!"

As if in response to his words, as his voice fell, a pair of demonic eyes suddenly widened on the throne at the end of the steps, and a dark storm instantly engulfed the soul puppeteers on the field.

"The final effect?" Yusei was also secretly surprised. "Besides the ability to regenerate health infinitely, does this throne hide other secrets?"

Thousand Clone: ​​"This can only be activated when an Xyz Monster on your field is targeted by an opponent's monster and the attacking monster's ATK is higher than your Life Points!"
Send 'The Throne of a Thousand Lords' to the Graveyard to negate the attack of that opponent's monster, then force the end of this turn! (Animation effect)

The enormous throne sank into the ground, unleashing an astonishing dark storm. The darkness formed a vortex on the field of the thousand avatars, like a defensive barrier. The powerful dark waves forced the damselfly to shrink back and stop its attack.

At the same time, the words "End Phase" appeared on the display screen of the Duel Disk.

"An invalid attack that can force the opponent's turn to end?" Kro exclaimed in surprise. "How can a single card have so many powerful effects?"

"God possesses power that transcends the realm of you mortals."

"It is cold and indifferent," said the thousand clones.

"And that's not all. By forcing your opponent into their End Phase, you can then use the Xyz Monster on your field that was attacked as material to perform a Rank-Up Xyz Summon on an Xyz Monster with 'Chaos' in its name!"

Yusei: "Upgrade?"

Although Yusei and the others had already come into contact with the concept of excess, this was the first time they had witnessed the existence of an ascending entity.

"Excellent! Therefore, I will use 'NO.43 Soul Puppet Demon - Soul Puppet Master' as material, and then construct a superimposed network, Chaos Xyz Transformation! Appear—"

—CNO.43 Soul Puppet Demon God · Chaos Puppet Master!!!

The enormous throne vanished, but the darkness it released grew ever more intense, surging forth like a tsunami dominated by darkness.

The dark tide swallowed the soul puppeteer on the field. When the puppeteer reappeared from the darkness, his body had turned blood-red, like some kind of giant insect. Each of his legs was wrapped with dark red puppet threads, and the conspicuous "CNO.43" on his main body was shrouded in an ominous purple light, as if he had been demonized.
