Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

"I activate this effect by targeting the [Kusha's Wrathful Clan's Shangri-La Cocoon] on the field!"

Without hesitation, You Yang issued the self-destruct order.

"Destroy it!"

"Then, in this very moment!"

You Yang's finger blurred across the duel disk, and a series of notification sounds rang out frantically!

"I activate the effect of [Kusha's Wrathful Clan's Shangri-La Cocoon]!"

"If this card on the field is destroyed by battle or card effect, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead."

You Yang shouted loudly,

"I will remove the excess material [the intimidating minions type, the wrathful race] to replace this destruction!"

boom--!

With a deafening roar like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, an incredibly thick, blood-red rainbow beam of light, imbued with an aura of destruction, crashed down.

The starlight on [the Shangri-La Cocoon of the Kusha Nuwei Clan] immediately dissipated, transforming into a blood-red barrier that withstood the impact.

A violent surge of energy swept across the entire area, making it impossible for Old Chen to open his eyes.

"Sigh~"

Lena, who was watching from a corner, gasped, her mechanical cat ears on her head taut with shock.

"What's the boss doing?"

Her bright, large eyes were filled with deep confusion.

Why would you extract an excessive amount of material from yourself?

Lena couldn't quite understand Youyang's actions.

Even as a virtual spirit, she was somewhat confused about the purpose of You Yang's actions.

Not only Lena, but also Gray Youyang, who had been observing coldly from the side, frowned slightly. He was not quite sure what Youyang was planning.

For the first time, a look of extremely serious contemplation flashed in his otherwise calm gray eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the red cocoon that had just undergone an energy baptism.

Chapter 294 (Except for the previous one)! Three-material Red Gundam! Say goodbye to your Little Mermaid!

After finishing that seemingly meaningless maneuver, You Yang's eyes sharpened even more, and he swung his arm violently once more.

With his decisive action, a card phantom, completely stained with extremely violent blood-red light, suddenly appeared in mid-air with a terrifying high-dimensional pressure!

He pointed to the red cocoon above his head, which emanated a dangerous aura, and a haughty smirk curled at the corner of his mouth:

"According to the rules, this card will have a very special effect during the turn 'The Cocoon of Shangri-La' is activated!"

"That means you can Xyz Summon by directly stacking your own 'Kusa' monster on top of it."

"Now, I'm going to stack it on top of the level 7 [Kusha Nuwei Clan - Reishart]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the arrogant red-armored warrior on the field suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening battle roar.

His body instantly disintegrated, transforming into a towering pillar of scorching flame that violently surged into the even deeper and more violent crimson supercharge network that had once again unfolded above the card shop!

You Yang clenched his fist tightly, his voice filled with a chilling intent!

"Born from the heart, Asura is dominated by anger, transforming into a celestial demon who roars in the red lotus pavilion!"

"Xyz Summon! Rank 7! Spread your wrath!"

"Descend! [Kusha's Wrathful Clan, Aleshardt]!"

boom--!

The center of the crimson vortex instantly burst forth with blinding red light, tearing apart the dimly lit ceiling projection of the card shop.

【Aleshat of the Kusha Wrathful Clan】is like a true peerless war god, shattering the void as he descends upon the world!

Its massive metal body was gleaming with crimson armor, radiating a suffocating heat.

The steel wings on his back unfolded majestically in the raging wind, their sharp metal edges cutting through the air, each pair of wings deeply engraved with endless fighting spirit and ruthlessness.

That imposing figure, like a war god descending to earth, with wings spread wide behind him, exuded a terrifying and oppressive aura that seemed to possess tangible gravity, causing the hearts of all the enemies present to tremble violently.

[Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Aleshardt] [Rank 7]

[Dark/Mechanical Race] [Attack: 3000 / Defense: 3000]

This ultimate weapon, revered by countless players and known as the Red Gundam, has officially made its debut!

Old Chen across from him tilted his head back slightly, staring intently at the blood-red figure that blotted out the sky.

The playful smile that had been on his face, like that of old friends reuniting, slowly faded away, replaced by a solemn expression as if facing a formidable enemy.

Unfortunately, the effect of [Kusha's Wrathful Ronin - Alethhardt] is a devastating blow to decks like [Tears of the Goddess] that rely heavily on graveyard resources.

But this doesn't mean that Old Chen is powerless to fight back. Although he appears serious, he is secretly tightening his grip on the playing card.

It's not a big problem, because at this moment he happens to be holding a card that can turn the tide of the battle!

As a seasoned player with extensive experience, he knew all too well the fatal flaws of the Kusha deck.

While the Kusha deck boasts immense front-row pressure and exceptional board control, it shares a fatal flaw with the hero decks of the neighboring region: extreme weakness to spells and traps!

And coincidentally, he had a card to counter him in his hand!

Just as Lao Chen was secretly making plans, You Yang's offensive continued unabated.

He deftly revealed another card, though somewhat reluctantly.

But after all, that's the rule, there's no way around it. The characteristic of the Abhidharma is that you have to show your cards to the opponent before you can use them for a special summon.

You Yang's eyes flashed, and he announced:

"Then, I activated the effect of the [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: The Wrathful Clan] in my hand."

"It can only be launched during one's own or the opponent's main phase."

"This card can be Special Summoned directly from your hand. In return, you must banish 1 'Kusan' or 'Tearful Song' card from your hand or Graveyard."

You Yang's finger decisively slid across the cemetery area:

"I choose to banish the [Intimidating Minion Type - Kushari-kun] that I just sent to my Graveyard, and Special Summon this card from my hand!"

Glug glug—!

As You Yang finished speaking, the once clear blue waters of Pearl Tears on the flat ground of the card shop were completely polluted, and the extremely viscous, pungent, blood-red seawater surged violently as if boiling.

Amidst the nauseating crimson waves, a red mermaid, clad in heavy inorganic metal armor, with a head of chilling white hair and gripping a ferocious giant axe tightly in her hand, appeared before everyone, accompanied by extremely violent water vapor!

[Tears of Elegy, Clan Type: Utter Wrathful Might Clan] [7 Stars]

[Water/Psychic Race] [Attack: 2300 / Defense: 1200]

So that's what you were after!

The moment the [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: The Wrathful Might Clan] appeared, carrying a violent, blood-red mist, a glint of sudden realization flashed in Old Chen's eyes, and he immediately understood the key to it.

He stared at You Yang's place, his mind racing as he reviewed You Yang's actions just now.

Yu Yang's hand and graveyard resources were clearly insufficient at this point, while the Kusha-type monsters wanted to be Special Summoned onto the field.

Besides requiring an empty field on your side, the other condition is that you need to banish your own monsters as a trade-off.

You Yang's setup just now was flawless, so perfect that he only had one card left in his hand. However, excessive perfection is a flaw.

You Yang's actions just now left the graveyard spotless, without any trace of the cards that had been used to inflict Fury.

Only one lone [Seven-Star Treasure Sword] remains.

Therefore, the reason why You Yang performed that seemingly inexplicable self-harming act was actually to forcibly send a Jushe Nuwei Clan monster to the tomb.

All of this preparation was to meet the conditions so that this [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: Kusha's Wrath Clan] could be successfully recruited through special recruitment!

Despite Old Chen's all-knowing gaze and his scheme being exposed, You Yang's expression remained unchanged, maintaining his calm and stern demeanor.

For him, as long as the tactics have been successfully implemented, what does it matter if they have been exposed?

The most urgent task now is to continue the operation. So, his eyes sharpened, and he immediately waved his hand, his voice as cold as ice echoing throughout the card shop!

"In that instant, because a card was banished, I chained the effect of [Tears of Elegy Type - Absolute Wrath Type].

"Activate the effect of [Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Aleshardt]!"

You Yang's finger pointed directly at the red Gundam that exuded a terrifying aura:

"Activated each time a card is banished."

Choose 1 card from the banished list as this card's Xyz Material.

He issued the order without hesitation:

"I target the banished spell card [Sixth Generation Destroyer Paranirmitavasavartin] and use it as Xyz Material for [Abhidharma-raja Aleshardt]!"

As You Yang's voice faded, the terrifying demon god [Kusha Nuwei Clan - Aleshardt], which was suspended in mid-air, slightly extended its cold metal arm.

In an instant, an extremely dazzling crimson starlight suddenly tore through the distorted space, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn apart, and flew precisely into its hand, transforming into an energy ball that revolved around it!

Without pausing for a moment, You Yang's voice rang out again!

"Next, I'll activate the entry effect of [Tears of Elegy Clan Type: Wrathful Might Clan]!"

A faint light flashed on the duel disk, and You Yang coldly announced:

"This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned."

"Send 3 cards directly from your or your opponent's deck to the graveyard."

A dangerous smile curled at the corner of his lips:

"I choose to mercilessly send the top three cards of your deck to the graveyard!"

Before Old Chen could even unleash a single card from his deck, You Yang raised his voice again:

"At this moment, the Absolute Domination effect of [Kusha's Wrathful Clan - Aleshardt] will be triggered!"

The red Gundam behind him seemed to let out a soul-shaking roar.

"A card that is sent to the graveyard is banished directly without going to the graveyard."
