Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 1702 Winter Triangle

Stars, Tianjin IV, resurrected!
Tianjin Si, who was knocked down in the previous round, quickly revived and returned to the field, once again demonstrating his abilities.

"The effect of Tianjin 4 is to add a second 'Star Ingenius River Drum II' from the deck to your hand."

Yu Xuan searched his deck again, shook the newly searched card, and added it to his hand.

"You've searched for River Drum II again. Are you preparing for extended battery life?" Zero frowned.

Astromancer Gadgetzan II: When successfully summoned, it can revive other Astromancers in the Graveyard. Obviously, if you revive Vega I in the Graveyard with Gadgetzan II next turn, and Vega I Special Summon other Astromancers from your hand, you can easily summon three more monsters with just this one card searched.

"A system that performs exceptionally well in both deployment and battery life," Zero thought to herself.

“Now we’ll get to the main point.” You Xuan smiled. “I’ll stack the Level 4 ‘Starman Gadgetzan II’ and ‘Starman Deneb IV’! The two monsters form a stacking network, and I’ll Xyz Summon them!”

Zero said seriously, "As expected, it's here, Xyz Summon."

"Show yourself, Star Knight - Dorome!"

Two satellite knights vanished into the superimposed network of light, and countless beams of light pierced the sky, plunging into the galaxy and forming a galactic storm within the sea of ​​stars. The constellation's pattern materialized as the arrival of knights from purgatory!

【Star Knight - Dorome, Attack Power 2600】

"A fourth-tier Xyz with an attack power of 2600, comparable to the attack power of the genius Mozart," Zero said. "Do you want to take him down with you?"

However, despite saying that, she was not flustered at all. On the surface, she didn't have a single face-down card in her back row, but in fact, she still had a countermeasure hidden in her hand.

She glanced at the cards she had retrieved from the graveyard to her hand in the previous turn.

The Phantom Musician, Silcoa. If the opponent dares to attack, dropping Silcoa from your hand will reduce their attack power to 0. This allows Mozart to counterattack the Xyz Monster, dealing a massive 2600 damage in one go, leaving the opponent utterly defeated.

However, You Xuan didn't even enter the battle phase. Instead, he continued, "Then activate the effect of 'Star Knight Dorome'!"

Remove one Xyz Material and discard one card from your hand to Xyz Summon a LIGHT 'Star Knight' Xyz Monster by placing it on Dorum!

Zero asked curiously, "Using an Xyz Monster for an Xyz Summon?"

"That's it."

You Xuan smiled and said, having already selected a card from his hand and placed it into the graveyard.

"Using 'Star Knight Dorome' as Xyz Material, perform a re-overlay! Xyz Summon—"

—Radiant Knight: Winter Triangle!

Dorome transformed into a beam of light and flew back into the Overlay Network. A new burst of light erupted, and amidst the dazzling, interwoven air currents, he transformed into a brand new knight.

Starlight forms a totem-like mark, and a shining knight is surrounded by starlight. He is dressed in white battle armor, his right hand is a photon blade made of energy, and his left hand is a triangular shield made of similar energy field. The shield is further nested with layers of energy rings.

【Radiant Knight - Winter Triangle, Attack Power 2100】

"His attack power is 2100, which is actually lower than Mozart's."

Zero felt something was off, but she didn't let her guard down at all. She was absolutely certain that if the opponent was willing to give up high attack power to summon this new Xyz, it must mean that this newly summoned Xyz had a value far greater than its attack power.

"Radiant Knight - Winter Triangle, effect activated!" Yu Xuan raised his right arm. "If this card is successfully Xyz Summoned, all cards on the field except this card are returned to their owners' hands!"

"What?!" Zero was now unable to remain calm.

It was a volleyball from the entire audience!
It doesn't target any specific monster, it has no limit on the number of monsters, and it doesn't even destroy the monsters but bounces them back into the hand. Although she had expected that the opponent's monsters, which had an excessive number of monsters, would definitely have extraordinary abilities, she didn't expect them to be so domineering.

Winter brandished the triangular lightsaber, and pale purple photon energy erupted from the sword and shield, crashing down like a tidal wave. The starlight swept across the entire arena indiscriminately, indiscriminately attacking friend and foe alike, even engulfing You Xuan's own territory.

Mozart on Zero's field immediately became ethereal and disappeared, flying back into Zero's hand.

Zero gritted her teeth.

Although she still holds the powerful Trap Skoya in her hand, Skoya can only be activated "when her own Phantom is battling an opponent's monster".

Now the entire area was spotless, and even if she held the handkerchief in her hand, it was completely useless.
However, that's not all.

“Then activate the second effect of ‘Radiant Knight Winter Triangle’,” Yu Xuan said. “Once per turn, remove one Xyz Material from this card and send one random card from your opponent’s hand to the Graveyard.”

Zero: "It even has the ability to cut off hands."

As everyone knows, the "hand-cutting" ability is a rather annoying ability in Yu-Gi-Oh! and many other card games. Since the earliest days of the Yu-Gi-Oh! system, any effect related to "hand-cutting" has always been a key target for scrutiny and evaluation.

And this Xyz ability called Winter Triangle is terrifying because it combines the powerful abilities of both flicking and slicing across the entire field.

Moreover, You Xuan's luck was quite good. The Winter Triangle Sword pointed again, and with the energy it reached, it struck one of Zero's remaining cards.

The card floated in mid-air and quickly disintegrated into stardust under the sword light. Before disappearing, it was vaguely visible that it was the same card, "Phantom Musician - Silkia".

Well, if there's no illusion on the field, this hand trap is useless anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

"Battle," You Xuan said. "Radiant Star Knight - Winter Triangle, direct attack."

Winter stepped forward, leaped into the air, and slashed with her sword, leaving a long trail of purple light that cut straight through Zero.

At this moment, Lingyi was weak. Although it was just a normal impact from a pure 3D image, it still made her take half a step back, and her face was pale and bloodless.

[Zero, LP4000 → LP1900]

“The round is over.” You Xuan chuckled. “What’s wrong? Is this all you’ve got? This level of skill isn’t enough to convince me to give way, and even if I let you go, it would probably be difficult for you to defeat Zack.”

Zero was a little out of breath, but upon hearing what he said, she immediately steadied her breathing, straightened up, and forced a smile.

"I haven't even exerted my full strength yet."

Yes, she still has things to do.

I've already promised my father, and I've made up my mind. How can I give up before I even set out?
"My turn, draw a card!"

Lingyi looked at the card she had drawn, gently closed her eyes, and seemed to be silently praying in her heart.

Father, if you can still see this from heaven...
Please grant me strength!
She held the card high.

"Activate this Spell Card 'Fusion' from your hand!"
