The phantom’s vortex began to tremble uneasily; black gelatinous matter started transforming into solid form, rapidly growing taller—before even fully taking shape, it already unleashed boundless pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cro: “Is the last Phantom about to appear!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Yuxing stepped forward and interrupted the activation: “I activate my face-down card, trap card ‘Forgetfulness!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When an opponent’s face-up attack-position monster activates an effect, I can negate that effect, then force that monster into defense position!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his finger at the phantom on the opponent’s field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Negate the effect of ‘Chaos Phantom,’ and change it to defense position!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black sludge forming into a Phantom froze abruptly. Its massive form shrank rapidly; the structure nearly solidified collapsed back into a puddle of black sludge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chaos Phantom, ATK 0 → DEF 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuxing, nice!” Cro praised. “Chaos Phantom’s effect can only be used once per turn. If it’s negated, it can’t transform into a Phantom this turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This combo is broken!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No surprise—you’ve already prepared a counter to Chaos Phantom, Yuxing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, I activate the spell card ‘Soul Return.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Discard one card from hand, then add one monster card from the graveyard to hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan shoved a card from his hand into the graveyard, and as if in exchange, a monster card emerged from the graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I add ‘Phantom King Rabiel’ from the graveyard to my hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Phantom he had retrieved, everyone tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combo of sending the Phantom to the graveyard and copying it with Chaos Phantom had been broken by Yuxing. Now, by actively retrieving the Phantom from the graveyard, Gothwin seemed to have abandoned that strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he about to summon the Phantom again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: “I normal summon ‘Phantom Gunner.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Phantom Gunner, ATK 1100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When ‘Phantom Gunner’ is successfully summoned, I can special summon up to as many ‘Gunner Tokens’ as the number of monsters on my field.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I currently have ‘Phantom Gunner’ and ‘Chaos Phantom’ on my field—two monsters total. So I special summon two ‘Gunner Tokens.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Gunner Token, ATK 500】x2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuxing sensed something and warned his teammates solemnly: “Watch out! It’s coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, You Xuan then said: “I tribute these three monsters: two ‘Gunner Tokens’ and one ‘Phantom Gunner!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan raised his right arm. At that moment, as if crimson lightning had torn the sky, the entire altar began to vibrate intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Phantom cannot be normal summoned. It can only be special summoned by tributing three monsters on the field!” (Original effect)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the real card game, Phantom King Rabiel was changed to require three Demon-type monsters, making the summoning condition far stricter, and its power was weakened compared to the anime version, making it relatively weak in real play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the anime version didn’t restrict the monster type and allowed any three monsters to be tributed, the Phantom Gunner and Gunner Tokens You Xuan used were both Demon-type monsters—so in terms of summoning conditions, there was no difference between real cards and the anime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The triple altar’s flames burn away illusion—final Phantom descending from the end!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“—Phantom King Rabiel, descend!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple mist gushed from a tear in space; three pairs of bony claws shattered the fabric of reality. The instant the Phantom burst forth, a Category 12 hurricane swept across the entire field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A towering demonic body, its cobalt-blue exoskeleton riddled with cracks glowing like flowing lava, faintly pulsing with violet energy resembling swirling nebulae beneath. Its skeletal wings, extending from the spine, spread wide enough to blot out the sky. The monstrous form resembled the ultimate masterpiece of a nightmare’s creator, instilling trembling dread into the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Phantom King Rabiel, ATK 4000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phantom King’s arrival—every soul trembled!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Ya gasped: “What kind of monster is this… wait, can this even be called a monster!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack couldn’t help but be moved: “What is this force that shakes the soul?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuxing gritted his teeth, cold sweat beading on his temple—he too felt immense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Effect of the field spell ‘Paradise Lost,’” You Xuan said. “Since I have a Phantom on my field, I can activate it. Once per turn, draw two cards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan drew two more cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan said: “Phantom King Rabiel, attack ‘Scrap Warrior.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Phantom King’s bony right arm suddenly erupted with veins of molten rock; the entire limb swelled under the surge of energy. Its spinal bone wings retracted like a siege hammer, gathering power. The arc of its punch tore through space, shattering it—reality twisted and melted like wax pressed by a hot iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the punch was about to land and reduce the Scrap Warrior to fragments, Yuxing’s eyes flashed with determination—he shouted: “I’ve been waiting for this moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: “Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuxing swiftly played a card from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I send ‘Rush Warrior’ from my hand to the graveyard to activate its effect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When a Tuner monster with ‘Warrior’ in its name on my field battles an opponent’s monster, I can send this card from my hand to the graveyard—only during damage calculation, double the attacking monster’s ATK!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old saying holds true: no matter how well you defend, you can’t guard against a hand trap. In the 5D’s meta, hand traps were rapidly evolving, and Yuxing, as a representative figure, was a master of them. Many of the most popular hand traps—even some still used today—originated from his anime plays, and some hand traps he used in the anime have never been officially released as real cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cro cheered: “Brilliant, Yuxing! You already prepared your next counter the moment you summoned Scrap Warrior to attack, didn’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yuxing remained silent, his face showing no triumph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrap Warrior, empowered by Rush Warrior’s effect, doubled its ATK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Scrap Warrior, ATK 2300 → ATK 4600】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be enough to defeat the Phantom?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1082,"2026-06-19T08:58:37.480Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0f0a06a2144acc3d876a95c5da02f68e90b6f640595a42ab92e3453e857b2139","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-926","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-924",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
