Duels should be played with a smile.

[Light · 8★ · Phantom Dragon · Attack Power 2300]

As golden light shone down, the Fiend appeared in a dazzling display amidst the clouds and mist.

"Attack power of only 2300? Looks like it's a functional monster."

“You’re right!” Leyou replied. “However, it needs one more step before it can function.”

"The effect of Thea can be activated when this card is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, and you can send one 'Swordsman' card or a Phantom Dragon monster from your Deck to the Graveyard."

"If I send [Earth Dragon Star - Bi'an] from my deck to the Graveyard, will it create a chain?"

Leyou's plan was progressing step by step. When he saw that Jack was still shaking his head as usual, he felt that his plan could probably proceed smoothly.

"The effect of Star of Light can be activated once per turn by targeting 1 card on your field and 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your Graveyard. Destroy the cards on the field and Special Summon the monster from your Graveyard."

"If I destroy a Sword of Elephant token on the field and Special Summon a Bixie from the Graveyard, does it form a chain?"

"no!"

"Then...this is it!"

The Phantom Dragon Clan is not only mysterious and noble, but also includes many evil dragons that symbolize ferocity and calamity.

"The effect of [True Dragon Emperor Litos Azim: Catastrophe] in your hand can only be activated during the Main Phase: Destroy 2 EARTH monsters from your hand (excluding this card) and from your face-up monsters on the field; then Deliver this card from your hand!"

"What I destroyed was another True Dragon Emperor: Calamity in my hand and the Bixie on the field!"

"Descend, Dragon King of Calamity!"

The Bixi, which had just made its appearance, was instantly attacked by an immense force. Crushed by a body several times larger, the Bixi returned to the sky and transformed into the Dragon Star.

Instead, a calamity-ridden dragon king emerged, shattering the earth.

[Earth · 9★ · Phantom Dragon · Attack Power 2500]

Not content with his arrival, the Calamity Dragon Emperor absorbed the power of two earth-attribute monsters and began to covet other things that he could destroy and devour.

"The subsequent effect is that if two EARTH monsters are destroyed, you can check your opponent's extra monsters and banish up to three different monsters!"

"Come on, Jack Atlas!"

"Let me see your extras!"

The Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon is indeed powerful, but if its extra strength is directly depleted, it won't be able to unleash its full potential!

The previous Floating Cherry Blossom had already given Leyou a taste of success, and now, the True Dragon Emperor - Calamity is about to strike a second time!

Jack clenched his fists, his heart filled with rage. He could forgive the first time he used the Floating Cherry Blossom, but this person actually managed to do it twice!

But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get rid of the strange effect and could only watch helplessly as Leyou saw through his extra abilities once again.

Seeing his extra leisurely way of choosing things only made Leyou feel more annoyed than angry.

"Sigh... all your extra abilities are incredibly strong, making it hard to choose!"

"Alright, these three will do! [True Crimson Nova Dragon], [Savior Demon Dragon], and [Crimson Demon Dragon - Tyrant], come on, let's send them all to another dimension~"

The first step of preventing people from playing Yu-Gi-Oh! has been achieved; next...

Leyou looked at the True Dragon Emperor on his field, his lips curling up in a very arrogant smile.

Chapter 78 Your Tamashi? Now it's my Tamashi!

Hard! The fist is hard!

Jack Atlas is absolutely furious!

If sending Crimson Rising Dragon to another dimension only made his development less smooth and required him to do a lot of extra work, then the three monsters that were excluded this time are practically taking advantage of his kindness!

But suddenly, he became nonchalant again.

In a duel, mindset is also a very important factor. In many situations, a calm mind can better assess the situation and make decisions.

Jack undoubtedly knew this.

This is why he didn't get angry even after Leyou repeatedly provoked him, or even mocked him.

You're trying to provoke me, aren't you? Jack thought to himself.

In the past, he might have been too arrogant and reckless, but after experiencing many things, especially the Carly incident, he has learned to remain calm in the face of adversity.

No matter how much his opponent tries to talk his way out of it, he remains unmoved.

"Still no movement? Then I'll continue."

Seeing that Jack remained calm and collected, Leyou couldn't help but admire his good attitude.

However, Jack's positive attitude also perfectly suited his needs.

"The previous effect hasn't been resolved yet, so let's start a new chain. First, the effect of the destroyed EARTH True Dragon Emperor. This card can only be activated if it is destroyed by an effect. Special Summon 1 non-EARTH Phantom Dragon from your Graveyard. I Special Summon the DARK Spectral Evil Dragon Star from my Graveyard."

"And the effect of the recently destroyed Earth Dragon Star: When this card on the field is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, you can activate this effect, Special Summon a [Dragon Star] monster other than the same name from your Deck, and Special Summon [Dark Dragon Star - Juzu]."

"Not chained yet? I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. Right now I have the most monsters on the field, so it's the most advantageous time for you to activate your combo. If you activate it now, I'm going to lose in a bit."

As if afraid Jack wouldn't believe her, Leyou paused for a moment and then added two more words.

"real."

Whether it was her serious tone or her sincere demeanor, Leyou appeared to be completely concerned for Jack's sake.

His actions were naturally captured by the game's director and presented to the commentators and viewers.

Unsurprisingly, the commentators, the audience, and Jack himself all considered Leyou's behavior as one of the tactics to lure Jack into making a move.

While lamenting Leyou's poor acting and overly obvious intentions, viewers are also curious about Jack's response.

"Such a simple trap, surely no one will fall for it?" a spectator muttered quietly.

"I can't say for sure, but those mobile games are obviously trying to rip you off, and you still obediently spend money on them, don't you?" His friend next to him replied dismissively, and then saw the audience member's face turn red instantly.

"How can these be the same?! This is...this is..."

After stammering for a while without being able to come up with a suitable reason, the audience member found himself in an extremely awkward situation. Fortunately, Jack responded to Leyou in time, bringing the audience's attention back to the table and preventing the audience member from feeling utterly ashamed.

"My Supernova Dragon not only has complete resistance, but also has an attack power of up to 6000. Trading such a powerful monster for a field wipe is a decision whose gains and losses are still unclear. I won't be lured into action by you!"

Actually, Jack himself was somewhat tempted. Leyou only had two cards in his hand, and banishing all of these monsters on the field would usually cause serious damage.

However, it was precisely because of Leyou's acting skills, which he considered extremely poor, that he temporarily abandoned his original idea.

Without Kaiju, there's no need for the invincible Supernova Dragon to act rashly. If the opponent wants to deal with your two monsters with all resistances, they will definitely have to enter battle. Wait until then to activate the effect and deal with them all at once for a greater benefit!

"Oh...it seems my acting skills are indeed lacking." Le You showed a disappointed look and shook his head slightly.

His acting was indeed subpar; it was almost obvious.

"But now... if you're sure you don't want to produce results, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

The sudden rise in his tone drew everyone's attention again. His flamboyant demeanor, so different from before, made everyone wonder whether Leyou was bluffing or if his plan had actually succeeded.

"If you can't perform well when I give you a chance, then don't use it anymore!"

"Witness it! This is the ultimate secret technique of Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Two dim stars flew into the sky, emitting an eerie light. Though they were stars, their light seemed to want to devour everything.

"I used a level 2 Jiao Tu to adjust the star level of a level 7 Ya Zi!"

"Twin stars converge! The phantom dragon descends! It wards off evil and danger, standing tall against the wind! Drawing upon the radiance of the Dragon Star, it secures eternal peace!"

"Summon Synchro Summon! Descend! LV9! [Phantom Dragon Star - Chaoswind]!"

[Light · 8★ · Phantom Dragon · Attack Power 2800]

A wind arose from the flat ground, and beneath the dim convergence of the two stars, the illusory dragon that suppressed calamity descended upon this place.

The moment He manifested from the Dragon Star, the entire space seemed to be shrouded in a hazy glow.

This is the radiance that dispels all darkness and suppresses all calamities.

The Chaofeng, descended by the power of darkness, possesses the great power to illuminate the world.

This immense power enveloped Jack and the dragon beside him, and even the dragon, which possessed complete resistance, became somewhat restrained after being bathed in this radiance.

"What is this?!" Jack immediately asked, sensing something was wrong. He looked up and carefully observed the glow on himself and the two dragons, but he couldn't figure out the mystery.

"Well... you'll find out soon enough," Leyou replied mysteriously.

It's annoying when others riddle you, but it's really satisfying when you riddle others!

But as much as he enjoyed it, even with Chaofeng in charge, Leyou's heart wasn't truly at ease. He remembered clearly that Jack was still holding a bad beast in his hand.

The thought of facing an opponent with an open-ended Kaiju made his own Taunt less appealing.

Moreover, with two high-attack, high-resistance opponents in between, he thought about it carefully and realized that it really seemed impossible to defeat Jack.

The Phantom Dragon race possesses a variety of powerful effects; two of them alone prevent the opponent from playing Yu-Gi-Oh!, but...

It's a very embarrassing situation; the Phantom Dragon Clan's offensive capabilities are practically nonexistent.

Even if you bring out Cheng Ying, it's difficult to kill someone with 6000 attack power and full resistance against a fully resistant opponent. As for the Dragon Demon God...

If we give Dragon Oni a bit more attack, and pair it with the Soul Collision card from the Joyful deck, it seems like we could pay LP to one-punch a 4000 attack monster, then let Dragon Oni activate its effect to gain 4000 attack, and then send Supernova away with one punch—but this is just wishful thinking, and it can't actually happen.

When an All-Resistant monster is destroyed by battle, its All-Resistance is gone. This is precisely the time for the effects of colliding Souls to resolve. When the effects are resolved, monsters that are not All-Resistant will be sent to the Graveyard by their effects. When the effects of Dragon and Oni are later determined to be destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, the effect will no longer apply.

Regarding this delicate situation, Leyou can only say... K language is truly amazing.

However, there is never just one solution in a duel. After changing his approach, Leyou had another...dark idea.

"The duel has gone on for so long... I'm running out of cards, so I'd better replenish them."

"Of course, this is just my addition."

Leyou deliberately said a couple more things to provoke Jack, and started calling out his own deck.

A mixed deck contains everything, so when you need it, you have to summon those cards and let them come to you intuitively!

"The Spell Card [Ancient Leaf] can only be activated if you have 9000 or more LP. Pay 2000 LP to activate it and draw 2 cards."

With two new cards in hand, Leyou happily hummed a little tune.

True duelists get whatever they want!

"The magic card [Pot of Greed] recycles 5 monsters from the graveyard and draws 2. I recycle Mizuki, Hundred-Headed Dragon, Dragon's Blessing, Orion, and Dragon Maiden."
