Who asked him to play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chapter 889 Holy Land Boundary
"Hold the shield in your right hand and the sword in your left hand, and exchange the attack power of all monsters on the field!"

[Maze wall, attack power 0 → attack power 3000]

[Lightning Emperor Zabolg, attack power 2400 → attack power 1000]

As we all know, the common weakness of the Emperor family is low defense. The Emperors all have 2400 attack power and 1000 defense power. If the attack and defense are switched, they will instantly fall from the level of Red-Eyes Black Dragon to the level of Wingman.
But Jim's maze wall was just the opposite. After exchanging offense and defense, he became a Blue-Eyes White Dragon-level big brother in one breath.

At this time, You Xuan's remaining health points are 1800, and passing this battle will directly lay the foundation for Jim's victory!

"Labyrinth wall, attack the Dark Emperor Zabolg!"

Jim shouted the order, holding his breath.

It seems to be a great opportunity, and there is hope that it will be a fatal strike.

But is there really a chance that it can be won so easily?
Of course Jim himself might have guessed the answer to some extent, and the answer is, of course not.

boom!
The moving maze roared and shattered the white emperor on You Xuan's field. The lightning burst out from the emperor's body and continued to blast towards You Xuan, but it all hit a transparent barrier, isolating the shock wave.

Jim was helpless: "Sure enough, it's not that easy."

"During the damage calculation step, I discarded this card from my hand and activated its effect."

You Xuan showed a card in his hand.

"Kuri Ball. Discarding it from your hand can reduce the damage of a battle to 0."

You Xuan pointed to a trap that was disappearing in the backfield next to him.

"And I activated this card the moment I declared the attack.

Trap Card 'Sacrificial Treasure Card'. When the total attack power of the monsters on your field is lower than the lowest attack power of the monster on your opponent's field, draw two cards from your deck.

But as a price, I cannot summon monsters in any form this turn." (Original effect)

Jim understood: "When the trap is activated, due to the effect of attack and defense exchange, I only have the maze wall on the field, with an attack power of 3,000. And you only have the Thunder Emperor with an attack power of 1,000."

Jim picked out another card.

"Give up a card, the turn is over."

"My turn, draw a card."

You Xuan waved his hand.

"Activate the cover card, the trap card 'Ritual of Advent'.

Select a 'Gravekeeper' monster in your Graveyard, and Special Summon it to your field.

"Wait a minute"

Jim raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you say that in this valley where the king rests forever, any act of desecrating the dead is taboo?"

Wasn't it agreed that all effects affecting the cemetery would be invalidated?

"Oh, this." You Xuan smiled, "That's for outsiders. Only outsiders who dare to offend the eternal resting place will be punished.

But the grave keepers are the guardians chosen by the royal family, and they are endowed with sacred power. They have privileges and are not bound by the rules of the place of eternal rest."

Jim: “.”

This is a shady deal. It’s a pure shady deal.

So if I dig up graves, it's an offense and blasphemy, and if you pretend to be dead, it's a righteous privilege, right?
But You Xuan is not talking nonsense, this is written on the card. The effect of the Ritual of Advent, the activation of this card will not be invalidated by "The Valley of the Royal Family's Long Sleep".

"Resurrect the 'Gravekeeper Commander' from the cemetery."

[Gravekeeper Commander, Attack Power 1600] "Then sacrifice the Gravekeeper Commander and summon him."

You Xuan raised his hand. The commander was already wrapped in the whirlwind of sacrifice, and as the whirlwind turned into darkness, a pair of dark red eyes lit up in the darkness.

"The Emperor of Darkness and Evil awakens from the depths of Hell—

——Evil Emperor Gaius, summon!"

A dark storm swept across the scene, and the dark cloak fluttered. The evil emperor in the abyss slowly rose up, carrying with him an evil aura that soared into the sky.

The Evil Emperor spread his arms, and a dark aura rushed straight into the sky, as if laughing silently -

——Finally it’s my turn to appear on stage!
[Evil Emperor Gaius, attack power 2400]

When the Evil Emperor is successfully summoned, any card on the field is removed from the game. The dark storm swept across, and the cyclone gathered towards Jim's field, concentrating on his backfield, rolling up the Gefu card.

Trap Card - Exploding Armor!

You Xuan: “.”

Well, he seems to have remembered that Jim also used this card in the animation when he fought against Overlord. At that time, Jim tried to use Explosive Armor to counterattack Overlord's evil hero, but the evil heart had resistance to destruction, so Explosive Armor continued its tragic fate throughout the history of Yu-Gi-Oh.
Jim gritted his teeth: "My explosive armor."

"The Explosive Armor is a powerful trap that can destroy the attacking monster when it attacks. What a pity."

You Xuan smiled and waved.

"Then, next up is the attack of 'Evil Emperor Gaius' on the 'Labyrinth Wall'."

It was a rare opportunity to play, so the Evil Emperor held his head high and chest puffed out his strength, as if he was determined that no matter what he said this time, he would not let Soga underestimate him.

His power gathered in his palm, and a tumbling energy ball appeared. As the energy gathered, the light ball grew larger and larger until it turned into a dark energy bomb. The walls of the maze were easily pierced and shattered. The moment Jim was hit by the darkness, he felt like he had fallen into hell. It should have been just a three-dimensional image, but he felt his hands and feet were cold.

【Jim, LP4000 → LP1600】

Jim staggered back two steps, wiped his mouth, and smiled awkwardly.

"It really doesn't give people any room to breathe."

The attack and defense swap effect of holding a shield in the right hand and a sword in the left hand can only last for one round, and at the end of the round, the attack power of the maze wall will return to its original 0 points.

Jim originally planned to switch between the maze wall attack and defense to deal a wave of damage, and then reduce the attack power to 0 to create a flaw, so as to lure the opponent to step on his explosive armor trap. The idea was good, but he ignored the curse imposed by the will of the universe on the explosive armor. If he had changed it to a holy defense, it might have worked.
"Two cards are covered, and the turn is over."

Jim took a deep breath.

Fossil Fusion was sealed, and this one card, Valley of Eternal Sleep, sealed most of the power of his deck. He hadn't even used one-tenth or one-twentieth of the usual effect in this duel.

He really didn't expect that he and the Duel King had no grudges against each other, but this person would use this kind of thing against him.
Jim looked at his deck.

I have to think of a way to draw cards in this round, otherwise this will probably be my last turn.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Jim had an idea and inserted the drawn card directly into the duel disk.

"Magic Card 'Magic Book in the Pot'! Both players draw three cards from their decks!"

After drawing another card from the deck, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank You, my deck!"

Jim muttered with a smile, then waved his hand and played the key card he drew for resurrection.

"Field magic——

——The protective barrier of the holy land!!!"
