Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1701 Stars

"The attack power of 'Phantom Melody Saint - Blooming Chief' increases due to its own effect!"

Furthermore, this Phantom Fusion not only has an attack boost, but also a powerful offensive effect that allows it to attack twice per battle phase.

With a guaranteed attack power of 2600 upon entering the game, plus continuous attacks, it is a fighter with excellent offensive capabilities.

Currently, Zero has Blooming Champion and Genius Mozart on the field, while Yuugen only has Tianjin Si with 1500 attack power. With Blooming Champion's two consecutive attacks plus Mozart's follow-up attack, they can immediately finish the game if they can get through this round!

“I’m sorry, the method might be a bit rough,” Zero said. “I appreciate your kindness, but this is the only thing I have to do myself, and I don’t have time to waste.”

"Really? That's a real shame. I'd love to have a proper chat with Miss Zero."

With a wave of his hand, You Xuan caused the backcourt card to flip over.

"Activate the face-down card, Trap Card 'Purgatory Trap Hole'. This card can be activated when your opponent Special Summons a monster with 2000 or more ATK. Negate the effect of that monster with 2000 or more ATK and destroy it."

You Xuan snapped his fingers.

"Although it may be a bit cruel for Miss Diva, please leave the stage immediately."

Immediately, a giant pit opened beneath the feet of the blooming queen, and she plunged into it before she could even stand. Her flower-like body instantly dimmed, her singing abruptly ceased, and she was disintegrated into specks of light in the hellish pit.

“Ah, Chief of Bloom.” Zero instinctively reached out, as if trying to hold on. But of course it was no use; her monster had already decomposed, drifting away like pollen in the wind.

You Xuan laughed and said, "Don't rush, the duel has only just begun. Can't we take our time?"

"."

Helpless, Lingyi had no choice but to raise her hand.

"Then, during the battle phase, use 'Phantom Musician - Genius Mozart' to attack 'Star Ingenius - Tenjin IV'."

Mozart opened her arms, her slender hand gently waving the baton. As the baton swept across the air, it was as if starlight had streaked through it. Her voice poured forth, a torrent of notes enveloping the satellite knight, who quickly dissipated into stardust.

[Yu Xuan, LP4000 → LP2900]

Zero glanced at her hand again.

"Set one card face down, and the turn is over," Zero said.

"Now it's my turn again. Draw a card." You Xuan drew a card. "Let me see, what should this deck do next?"

His fingers hovered over several cards in his hand, as if he were thinking.

Lingyi frowned.

Is this guy playing against himself with a deck that he doesn't even know well?
She suddenly felt a little slighted. After all, he was one of the top powerhouses in his dimension, and even with a good personality, he still had a bit of arrogance. But she didn't say anything, just patiently waited and observed his actions.

"Alright, it's your choice," You Xuan said. "Normal Summon 'Star Insect - Vega I'!"

Satellite Knight, whose name clearly indicates a female figure, has a slender figure shrouded in a knight's robe, her entire face is veiled, and her long skirt reaches all the way to her ankles.

【Star Initiator - Weaver Girl I, Attack Power 1200】

"Vega's effect: If this card is successfully Normal Summoned, Special Summon any 'Starman' monster other than yourself from your hand!" But seeing that her opponent had used up her Normal Summon opportunity for this turn, Zero pressed the button on her Duel Disk without hesitation: "Activate Set Card, Trap Card 'Trap Hole'!"

You Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You've also fallen into a trap?"

“Of course,” Ling Yi smiled. “Locking holes isn’t your exclusive right.”

That's true. Pitfalls are, after all, the most widely used summoning pits in the multiverse; there's almost no dimension without them.

At this moment, Zero was using the earliest and most classic Trap Hole skin without any prefixes: "The effect of Trap Hole is that when the opponent summons a monster with an attack power of 1000 or more, that monster is destroyed!"

As soon as the Weaver Girl appeared, a pit opened beneath her feet, and she fell straight into it without a trace, following in the footsteps of the previous round's champion.

Zero Yi could be said to have used their own methods against them, thus getting her revenge in a small way.

You Xuan didn't seem to care: "However, Trap Hole only destroys monsters; it can't negate a monster's summoning or its effects. The effect of the Weaver Girl was activated the moment it was successfully summoned, so it will still be processed."

You Xuan drew another card from his hand.

"Then I will Special Summon 'Starry Sky Drum II' from my hand."

A new constellation emerges against the cosmic backdrop, with a bright red star shining within it. Starlight falls to earth, transforming into a blue satellite knight. Behind the knight are falcon-like azure wings; he is masked, clad in white armor, and surrounded by what appears to be swirling red stardust.

【Star Ingenius - River Drum II, Attack Power 1700】

"Use the effect of Vega to Special Summon another Starman from your hand, and you'll have two Level 4 monsters on the field. Now you can Xyz Summon them, right?"

Ling Yi smiled slightly.

"What a pity, now that the pitfall trap has been used, the original overstretched formation has been destroyed."

"That seems to be the case. But it doesn't matter."

You Xuan revealed a bright and cheerful smile.

"The effect of Celestial River Drum II is activated. If this card is Normal Summoned, Special Summoned, or Flip Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Celestial other than River Drum II from your Graveyard back to the field in Defense Position."

Zero frowned: "Can we continue with a Special Summon?"

Then she suddenly seemed to realize something: "Wait a minute. If that's the case, if we revive 'Starman Vega I' from the graveyard, which was just destroyed by the Trap Hole, wouldn't Vega I be able to summon a new Starman from our hand again when it's summoned?"

One monster becomes two, two monsters become three, and so on – how can one card generate all things?
You Xuan laughed: "Although I would love to do that, it's a pity I can't. Because whether it's River Drum II or Weaver Girl I, the effects of these Star Guardians are 'the same card name effect can only be used once per turn'."

In other words, regardless of whether you send it to the graveyard and then bring it back to the field, or summon a second unit with the same name, as long as your name is "River Drum II" or "Vega I", its effect can only be used once per turn.

This avoids the excessive storytelling scenario where the same monster repeatedly jumps around the field and uses its effects in a loop.

"So the one I want to Special Summon from the Graveyard is 'Starman Tennis IV', which hasn't activated its effect this turn yet."

[Star Guardian - Tenjin IV, Attack Power 1500]

"Then Tianjin Si's effect activates," You Xuan said. "If Tianjin Si is successfully summoned, add another 'Starman' from the deck to your hand."
