Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1572 Quickly wipe them all out!

The second person's turn ends, and it's finally the short mask's turn.

"Oh? You can still maintain your composure in the face of such a formation; that's commendable," the short, masked man chuckled. "But no matter how much you pretend, it won't change the cruel fate that awaits you!"

My turn, draw a card! "

The first thing the short mask revealed was a magic spell.

"Activate the Continuous Magic 'Ancient Mechanical Fortress'!"

Magical images appeared behind the short man's mask, and at the same time, a huge steel fortress, a towering dark castle, rose up behind him with a rumble. The walls were equipped with heavy cannons and countless rotating gears, like a complex of a fortress and an armory.

“Then activate the Spell Card ‘Ancient Gear Catapult’!” the short masked man said. “If you don’t control any monsters, you can destroy any face-up card you control.”

I destroyed the 'Ancient Mechanical Fortress', a perpetual magic spell!

Yato was shocked: "Destroy your own card?"

There was actually a card whose effect was to destroy his own card; he had never heard of such a self-destructive behavior since he had learned about duels.

The short, masked man was quite pleased with his reaction and said, "Heh, so you really are a primitive man from ancient times, making a fuss over something like this. Open your eyes wide and watch how the elites of the future generation duel!"
After destroying a card on its field, 'Ancient Gear Catapult' can Special Summon an 'Ancient Gear' monster from its Deck, ignoring its Summoning conditions.

I Special Summon 'Ancient Gear Machine' from my Deck!

A round little gear flew out of the deck and onto the field. The gear extended short, slender arms and legs and jumped onto the field in a lifelike manner.

[Ancient mechanical gadget, attack power 500]

"Then, if the Continuous Spell 'Ancient Gear Fortress' is destroyed, you can also Special Summon an 'Ancient Gear' monster from your hand."

I hereby Special Summon 'Ancient Gear Dragon'!

Amidst the shattered and collapsed ruins of the fortress, countless parts and gears seemed to spontaneously begin to reassemble. These parts formed the body of a dragon, with steel wings, a long neck that creaked as it twisted, and crimson light flashing in its eyes.

[Ancient Mechanical Dragon, Attack Power 1800]

"Then, due to the effect of 'Ancient Gear Dragon,' if this card is successfully Normal or Special Summoned, you can add one 'Ancient Gear' monster from your Deck to your hand. I added 'Ancient Gear Thermonuclear Dragon' from my Deck to my hand!"

The short masked man laughed heartily, holding up the card he had just retrieved from his deck.

"Watch closely, this is the ultimate trump card of this deck, capable of annihilating any obstacle into dust, representing the supreme power of the academy's elite level!"

I unleash the 'Ancient Mechanical Gadget' and the 'Ancient Mechanical Dragon', Superior Summon! Descend, Level Eight—

—Ancient Mechanical Thermonuclear Dragon!!!

Two ancient machines vanished from the field as specks of light, leaving behind plumes of transparent steam rising from the shattered earth. Countless steel parts, as if drawn by an invisible force, formed a steel storm, like a violent whirlwind.

Huge wings unfurled amidst the metallic storm, the intense heat emanating from the thermonuclear core distorting the air. The dragon soared into the sky, resembling a floating fortress, towering above and unleashing its scorching pressure upon the entire arena.

[Ancient Mechanical Thermonuclear Dragon, Attack Power 3000]

Thermogen Dragon can only obtain its strongest form when it is summoned using a monster release method whose name contains the words "gadget" and "ancient machine".

When an Ancient Gear Monster is Tributed, this card gains the ability to penetrate the defense of a Defense Monster when attacking it.

If this card is Tributed using a Gadget Monster, it can attack twice during one Battle Phase.

Furthermore, when this card attacks, the opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap/Monster effects, and after attacking, it will destroy any Spell/Trap on the field.

In other words, this card, summoned using both "Ancient Gear" and "Ancient Gear Dragon" in a Tribute Summon, is in its strongest form, unleashing its full potential!
The tall masked man laughed heartily, "You're in good form today, summoning this guy right away." The short masked man replied, "Of course, we can't let our academy down."

He then drew one last card from his hand and placed it face down in the back row: "Face one card, turn over!"

After the three of them finished their turn, they all spoke in unison, as if they had been trained for a long time: "This is our perfect formation! If you can break through this formation, then give it a try!"

The old man and Yato behind him also clenched their fists, filled with despair.

In their minds, it was almost impossible to break through such a terrifying formation by fighting against three opponents alone; no one could possibly do it.

It's over, it's finished. What a pity for that young crab-headed guy, wasting his future on something completely unrelated.
Ancient Mechanical Giant, Ancient Mechanical Cerberus, Ancient Mechanical Thermonuclear Dragon.
But Yusei's gaze swept over the three powerful trump cards that were eyeing him menacingly, and he only showed a calm smile.

"Although I don't know what you mean by 'academy,' if this is the level of so-called elites, I don't think they're anything to worry about."

"What?!" The entire audience was shocked.

Yato and his grandfather were shocked that this person could still utter such arrogant words in the face of this situation, not to mention the shock of the three people opposite them.

Has this guy really grasped the situation?
Yusei: "I'll wipe out all three of you this round!"

The three students from the academy: "???"

This round? With this formation, will it cost us all three of us?
How many kilograms of liquor did you drink tonight to get this drunk?

Perhaps these words were so absurd that they even forgot to mock them.

Yusei: "My turn, draw a card!"

“Wait, the instant you prepare,” the tall man said, “activate Face Card! Continuous Trap ‘Fusion Trench’!”

The backcourt card flips over, and a transparent golden wave bursts out, forming a semi-transparent barrier on the field.

"Fusion Trench means that as long as this card is on the field, no monsters other than Fusion Monsters on either player's field can attack!"

Although only one of the three of them currently had a Fusion Monster on the field, it didn't matter. Fusion was the specialty of these duelists who came from the academy; they could simply summon Fusion Monsters to attack later.

However, this can block the opponent's attack to the greatest extent, especially when the opponent has just made a boastful statement.

"How about that?" the tall, masked man said smugly. "Now can you still arrogantly say you can take down the three of us in one round?"

"of course."

Yu Xing remained unfazed, as if the pale golden barrier before him did not exist at all.

The three students from the academy: "?"

With such a powerful lineup and attack seal, how can you possibly kill all three of us in one go?

Could this guy have really gone insane from too much pressure?

However, the next moment, You Xuan yawned and said lazily, "Alright, You Xing, just take care of these guys quickly and finish them off. Let's go to sleep."

The three students from the academy: "???"

Are those two on the other side completely insane? Can they even hear what they're saying?
