Crow, banish my Neo-Sparks Emperor for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cro’s monster card swiftly slid into the graveyard; a tiny crow spread its wings, as if bursting through a spatial barrier. Soon, the crow reappeared, its beak clutching the card of Neo-Sparks Emperor Uria, then flew upward into the dimensional void, vanishing from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You actually stole my Neo-Sparks Emperor? That’s just cruel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan sighed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cro said: \"Neo-Sparks Emperor was barely defeated by Jack—how could you just revive it so easily? Don’t underestimate our combined power!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yusei added: \"Exactly! Gothwin, maybe you’re truly strong—maybe stronger than any of us. But we have bonds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When companions support and help each other, they can surpass their limits!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: \".\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, Guoranyoushiyiqunhanzheyouqingjibanjiuchongshanglaidejiahuo 。\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan cleared his throat: \"Fine, then I’ll just keep using this guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal summon 'Chaos Phantom'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The summoned entity, rather than resembling a monster, looked more like a pile of sludge—floating before him on the field with no solid form whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chaos Phantom, ATK 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cro: \"Another monster with 0 ATK?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yusei warned: \"Don’t underestimate it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gothwin, this guy’s duels are full of oddities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan said: \"Chaos Phantom’s effect: once per turn, I can select any effect monster in my graveyard. Until the end of this turn, this card becomes a copy of that monster, gaining its original ATK and effects!\" (Original effect)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real card effect is nearly identical, except it requires banishing the targeted monster from the game instead—raising the cost significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three opponents’ expressions changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can transform into a monster from the graveyard?\" Jack said, \"If that’s the case, then his graveyard—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: \"I use 'Chaos Phantom' to copy 'Thunder Emperor Hamon' from my graveyard, gaining Hamon’s name, original ATK, and monster effect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pitch-black sludge suddenly boiled with sulfur bubbles; Chaos Phantom’s gelatinous body convulsed violently in the storm of lightning. Dozens of golden bolts pierced its core, and the viscous dark substance was carved as if by invisible chisels. First came a bony chestplate, then demonic wing-bones tore through the filthy surface. The sludge churned furiously under the holy lightning, each bolt tearing away another layer to reveal the demon’s true form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder Emperor Hamon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chaos Phantom (Thunder Emperor Hamon), ATK 4000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the Second Phantom Demon,\" Cro gritted his teeth. \"What the hell—how can even a phantom carry this kind of pressure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan smiled: \"Due to the effect of the field spell 'Paradise Lost,' since I currently have Chaos Phantom treated as 'Thunder Emperor Hamon' on my field, I technically have a Phantom Demon on the field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The effect of Paradise Lost: once per turn, when a Phantom Demon is on the field, draw two cards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan drew two cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Battle!\" You Xuan declared. \"Thunder Emperor Hamon, attack 'Crimson Lotus Dragon'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phantom’s bony wings shattered the black sludge it had been part of; the spine-extended wings vibrated with thunder, as if tearing through space. Ten thousand bolts of heavenly lightning descended from beyond the heavens, striking the Crimson Lotus Dragon without mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack roared: \"Activate a trap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: \"Traps have no effect on Phantom Demons. Phantom Demons are immune to all trap effects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others were shaken again. It doesn’t respond to traps like a Earthbound Immortal—and it’s this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack snorted: \"My trap wasn’t meant to affect the Phantom Demon anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I activate the trap card 'Crimson Crystal'! Monsters with 'Crimson' in their name cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects until the end of this turn!\" (Original card)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames hardened into crystal, encasing the Crimson Lotus Dragon. Hamon’s lightning struck the crystal—and was entirely deflected, leaving not a single scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Zhuanshu  trap for Crimson Lotus Dragon? Interesting,\" You Xuan said. \"But battle damage still counts... Normally, I’d say that. Too bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shrugged helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The monster copied by Chaos Phantom is still just a phantom. It can destroy the opponent’s monster in battle, but inflicts zero battle damage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three opponents exhaled slightly in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good—this thing isn’t that insane. Even if it can casually copy and transform into a Phantom Demon from the graveyard, if it could also deal damage, it’d be way too overpowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: \"I set one card face-down. End of turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chaos Phantom’s effect ends at the end phase—it reverts to its original ATK.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The majestic golden demon phantom vanished. Thunder Emperor Hamon gradually dissolved into a wisp. The massive pile of black gelatinous sludge collapsed back onto the field, becoming just a puddle again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chaos Phantom, ATK 4000 → ATK 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 5D’s team’s morale surged after successfully defending against the Phantom Demon’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect! Now Chaos Phantom with 0 ATK remains on the field—this is our chance!\" Cro turned to Yusei. \"This is our chance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was Yusei’s turn—and his morale was soaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My turn, draw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes quickly scanned the drawn card, then he announced loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The hope entrusted to me by my comrades—I won’t waste this opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I activate the spell card 'Tuning'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spell card projection appeared before Yusei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tuning allows me to add one 'Tuner' monster with 'Tuner' in its name from my deck to my hand,\" Yusei said. \"I add 'Quick Tuner' from my deck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yusei drew the Tuner from his deck and showed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, I must send from the top of my deck a number of cards equal to the Level of the Tuner I searched!\" (Original effect)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan muttered: \"Anime Tuning—so brutally strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real card was changed: no matter which Level Tuner you search, you only send one card from the top of your deck to the graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew sending cards from the top of the deck to the graveyard counts as a graveyard setup—sending five cards is vastly stronger than sending one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick Tuner is Level 5, so I send five cards from the top of my deck to the graveyard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yusei sent five cards cascading into the graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, Quick Tuner’s effect: I can discard one monster from my hand to special summon it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I discard one card from my hand to special summon 'Quick Tuner'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Quick Tuner, ATK 700】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the monster I just sent to the graveyard is 'Level Steal Worm'! Its effect activates too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While this card is in the graveyard, I can reduce the Level of one Level-5 monster on my field by one, then special summon this card from the graveyard!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan raised an eyebrow again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Yusei—laughing and chatting, he casually plays a banned card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1101,"2026-06-19T08:58:37.480Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","66a834b1d7923e923c46b552433d319b411d2512ada6e2819a1ce8bd34158318","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-924","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-922",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
