Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1636 Demon King Hades

After Bakura displayed the monster in his hand, he quickly stuffed it into the graveyard. At the same time, a snake wrapped in lightning appeared above Bakura, its semi-transparent phantom flickering.

Bakura laughed and said, "Therefore, in addition to drawing cards under the effect of 'Handbook Annihilation,' I can also draw two more cards from my deck!"

After discarding all his existing cards, he suddenly drew six cards in quick succession.

After all, he's the human form of the great evil god Zorc, so his power of fate is formidable. Even a random, common hand gesture can easily get him into trouble.

But Yu Xuan didn't seem to care. He simply drew more cards and then played a monster card.

"Normal summoning of 'Infernal Flame Demon'."

A demon with two enormous hands descended from the vortex in mid-air onto the field, its body seemingly burning with cold flames, its pale face as indifferent as a dead man.

[Eternal Flame Demon, Attack Power 1800]

Infernal Demon, when Special Summoned, possesses a powerful ability to search for any Infernal card, making it a key component of Infernal decks.

However, just like the other demons in the deck, Infernal Demon only works when you have zero cards in your hand. As long as you still have cards in your hand, Infernal Demon is basically useless; even a powerful Infernal Demon is just a regular attacker with 1800 attack power.

You Xuan said, "Eternal Fire Demon, attack the monsters covering the inside."

A somber incantation seemed to float across the field, and a vortex of black clouds, churning with purple lightning, opened in mid-air. A massive, dark red demonic claw emerged from the black clouds, reaching out to grab the monster.

The monster flipped over, revealing itself to be a sinister-looking "zombie carrier," which was crushed to pieces by the demon's claws with a single blow.

[Zombie Carrier, Defense 200]

"Zombies carry the virus, and the immortals are synchronized?"

You Xuan spoke casually, then waved his hand and covered up a backstage area.

"Cover a card, and the turn ends."

He certainly knew about the Undead Synchro deck, after all, he was a veteran of competitive gaming, and the deck his opponent was using was a deck that had once led the era, making them a worthy opponent.

“Then it’s my turn, draw a card!” Bakura chuckled. “You seem to know a lot. Well, that’s actually one of the things that interests me about you. You seem to know a lot about everything.”

He squinted as he spoke.

You Xuan simply shook his head: "I've just been working hard to learn."

Am I knowledgeable? Perhaps, in the eyes of animation natives.

But was his knowledge sufficient? You Xuan had never thought so.

After all, in this world, playing cards is a matter of life and death. Just like how you can never have enough cards no matter how many you collect, and you're always afraid of version updates, you can never learn enough knowledge.

“Ha, for someone who has reached such a height, you’re quite modest.” Bakura paused, then lowered his voice, “However, this also makes you more dangerous.”

He pressed the button on the Duel Disk and activated a face-down card in the back row.

"Activate Faceless Manipulator, Continuous Spell 'Call of the Mummy'!" Bakura said. "This card's effect is once per turn: if you have no monsters on your field, you can Special Summon 1 Zombie-Type monster from your hand!"

As the card depicted the underworld, eerie cries emanated from it, like sinister echoes reverberating in a midnight graveyard.

Bakura: "I Special Summon 'Goblin Zombie' from my hand!"

A dark goblin, seemingly devoid of flesh, flew onto the field. Its emaciated body was covered with gaunt bones, and the cold glint of the blade in its hand contrasted sharply with its dark and decaying form.

【Goblin Zombie, ATK 1100】 "Then activate the effect of 'Zombie Carrier' in the Graveyard!" Bakura inserts a card from his hand back to the top of the deck. "While this card is in the Graveyard, you can Special Summon it from the Graveyard by returning a card from your hand to the top of the deck!"
I resurrected the 'zombie carrier' from the graveyard!

[Zombie Carrier, Defense 200]

"Then add the level 2 tuner monster 'Zombie Carrier' and the level 4 'Goblin Zombie', and adjust the star level!"

【2+4=6】

"O immortal lord of the underworld, fall into hell and serve me! Level Six—"

—Summon Hades, the resurrected Demon King!

Within the halo of the stars, the once-shining Star Avenue seemed to be tainted by a foul mist, turning from light to darkness, as if summoning a purplish-black thunderbolt from the depths of hell.

The demon was entirely purple, its body seemingly shrouded in a huge, misty purple robe. In the center was a skull-like demonic face, and its entire body exuded a chilling aura.

[Hades, the resurrected demon king, attack power 2450]

“Hades in Synchro Mode,” Yu Xuan nodded. “This thing is the nemesis of Last Word.”

This card is a Synchro variant of the classic monster "Hades, the Demon King of the Underworld," with essentially the same effect, just an upgraded version.

As long as Hades the Resurrected Demon Lord is present, all monster effects destroyed in battle by the Bakura Undead are nullified. Naturally, the monsters most affected by this effect are those with the ability to use their ultimate abilities.

“It’s not over yet, the effect of ‘Goblin Zombie’ activated at this moment!” Bakura said, “When Goblin Zombie is sent from the field to the graveyard, I can add a Zombie monster with 1200 or less DEF from my Deck to my hand.”

I'm going to add the 'Zombie Lord' with 0 defense from my deck to my hand!

Bakura draws the cards he retrieved from his deck.

Bakura: "Since I haven't performed a normal summon this turn, I'm going to summon 'Lord of Zombies'!"

A zombie sorcerer with a deathly pale face was summoned onto the field, letting out a maniacal laugh. His ten fingers danced wildly, and the purple electricity he released was like energy chains probing into the depths of hell.

[Lord of Zombies, Attack Power 1800]

You Xuan: "At this pace, they're going all out right from the start."

“Of course, you have proven yourself to be a worthy opponent,” Bakura said with a smile. “Naturally, I should give you a little respect.”

I activate the Zombie Lord's effect!

Bakura sent a card into the graveyard, and at the same time, the Zombie Lord's eyes flashed with a scarlet light, his smile became more and more manic, and his ten fingers twisted and turned, as if he wanted to pull the corpse out of the grave through the purple chains.

"The Zombie Lord can revive a Level 4 or lower Zombie monster from his or his opponent's Graveyard by discarding monster cards from his hand."

Bakura revealed an immortal monster that popped out of the graveyard.

"I Special Summon 'Corpse Dragon' from the Graveyard!"

Although it's an immortal monster, this one isn't as sinister as its companions. This time, it looks like a small, green dragon.

[Corpse Dragon Child, Attack Power 500]

Bakura: "Level 3, adjust the monster 'Corpse Dragon Child'! Level 4, 'Lord of Zombies', adjust the star level again!"
