Chapter 926: Heavenly Crushing Fist

Trash Warrior, ATK 4600!

Facing the strongest demon devil, You Xuan unveiled his signature hand trap—counterattack!

You Xuan held his breath.

Can he defeat the demon devil?

“Hahahaha! No wonder you’re You Xuan—your hand trap technique is flawless.”

But he immediately changed tone.

“But it’s not just your ‘Warrior’ that knows the power of hand traps.”

You Xuan’s heart tightened, a bad feeling rising: “What?”

“The Demon Devil King—Rabiel! Let me show you the true power of the strongest demon devil!”

You Xuan played another card from his hand; the moment the card rose, boundless sacred blue light erupted from its artwork, unleashing earth-shattering energy.

That card was resonating with the Demon Devil King!

“Release the true power of the Demon Devil King!” You Xuan cried. “Discard ‘Demon Devil King Rabiel—Heavenly Crushing Fist’ from my hand—activate its effect!”

You Xuan gasped: “Also an effect activated from the hand?”

It was the exact same type of ability as his own—and it was the Demon Devil King’s exclusive card, sharing the same name as the Demon Devil King’s skill!

“The effect of Heavenly Crushing Fist: by discarding this card from hand, the Demon Devil King Rabiel on my field gains double ATK this turn only,” You Xuan said. “And this effect can be activated during your opponent’s turn too.”

The 5Ds trio: “Nani!?”

Also double the ATK!

It was truly the same type of hand trap as You Xuan’s.

【Demon Devil King·Rabiel, ATK 4000 → ATK 8000】

It was as if a fist had shattered heaven itself—the demon devil’s knuckles hardened into endless deep-blue flashes, the punch’s tip swirling with countless rotating vortexes of dark blue. The tyrannical energy surged like a tidal wave, bursting forth as if rupturing a rift between worlds. But this was no true water—it was the roaring manifestation of immeasurable power, the entire field twisting with the crushing pressure of a deep-sea vision.

BOOM—

Even the boosted Trash Warrior stood no chance. The instant his steel giant fist met the Demon Devil King’s twin fists, it shattered into countless fragments, spraying everywhere.

You Xuan: “Ughhh!”

【Crow/Jack/You Xuan, LP 11000 → LP 7600】

The three shared life points and bore the damage collectively. The massive 3000+ damage, coupled with the raw shockwave, nearly knocked all three off their feet. If this were a Duel Runner battle, 99% of Duelists would have been thrown clear off their bikes.

Crow gripped his ribs, gritting his teeth: “What kind of guy is this? You Xuan set up such a perfect field, and he still instantly countered with higher ATK!”

Jack also growled in frustration: “Does this guy’s power really exceed the sum of all of ours!?”

“Not over yet—the strongest demon devil isn’t done yet.”

You Xuan added with a smile.

“The Demon Devil King Rabiel—Heavenly Crushing Fist has an even stronger effect!”

“Having unleashed its power, the Demon Devil King can attack each of your monsters once this turn!”

The trio’s faces paled again.

Nani!?

ATK 8000—and multiple attacks?

“This is insane!” Crow was stunned.

You Xuan said: “This is the power of Gothmog, the demon devil.”

You Xuan shrugged: “Sit down, sit down—basic move. I know a guy who, when he loses, just summons an Overload Dragon with 20,000 ATK and attacks ten times in one turn. Compared to that, this is just a warm-up.”

This was nothing.

You Xuan waved: “Demon Devil King Rabiel—attack Jack’s ‘Crimson Dragon of the Flame’!”

Second punch!

A punch that shattered space—like a cannon blast piercing heaven and earth. Jack’s pride, his Tamashii Crimson Dragon, was now nothing more than a tiny fly—helpless against this blow.

“Aaaah—!”

【Crow/Jack/You Xuan, LP 7600 → LP 2600】

The shockwave swept the entire field; the Crimson Dragon was effortlessly erased in flames, and all three were blasted backward again.

Outside the field, Long Ya was frozen in awe.

“This is… too strong…”

For the first time, he felt that even if You Xuan and the others teamed up, they were still vastly inferior to the being standing high above on the altar.

Long Ke sighed: “We can’t win. This enemy…”

Seeing his sister’s despair, Long Ya snapped back to himself and cheered her on: “What are you saying? You Xuan and the others—Dragon Markers don’t lose!”

But even as he spoke those words, his heart was uneasy.

Can someone like this really win?

“Well, the Demon Devil King could keep attacking…”

You Xuan’s gaze swept over the three opponents’ fields, landing on Crow’s “Blackwing—Armored Wing.”

“But Armored Wing can’t be destroyed by battle, and battle damage against it is zero. Attacking it would be pointless. I’ll skip my attack.”

You Xuan shrugged.

The trio’s tense hearts eased slightly.

Thank goodness Crow still had Armored Wing—if it had been any other monster, the third punch from the Demon Devil King would have ended them outright.

You Xuan: “End Phase: the Demon Devil King Rabiel’s ATK returns to its original value.”

【Demon Devil King·Rabiel, ATK 8000 → ATK 4000】

Crow: “Then it’s my turn again!”

But Crow’s spirit was far weaker than before. Gothmog’s overwhelming display and the demon devil’s appearance had shifted the entire duel’s momentum to the other side. He was now the only one on the field without any supernatural power—though still a top-tier Duelist, he was still human, and facing the demon devil filled him with crushing pressure.

Crow shook his head.

No matter what, he absolutely couldn’t hold You Xuan and Jack back.

“I special summon ‘Blackwing—Blast of the Black Spear’!”

A black bird-warrior appeared amid swirling black feathers, his spiral spear piercing out a transparent vortex.

【Blackwing—Blast of the Black Spear, ATK 1700】

You Xuan said: “At this moment, the effect of the Demon Devil King Rabiel activates.”

“When your opponent summons, special summons, or flips summons a monster, I special summon the same number of ‘Demon Devil Tokens’ on my field.” (Original card effect)

The real card was changed to trigger only when the opponent normal summons; the anime version activates regardless of summoning method.

【Demon Devil Token, DEF 1000】

“By the way,” You Xuan smiled, “the effect of the Demon Devil King Rabiel allows me to release two monsters on my field to absorb their ATK until the end of this turn.”

You Xuan: “So if we summon monsters, the Demon Devil King summons matching Tokens—and those Tokens become part of the Demon Devil King’s power?”

Crow shouted: “Even if I’m not a Dragon Marker, my fighting spirit as Crow is no less than You Xuan’s or Jack’s!”

You Xuan was moved: “Crow…”

Crow roared: “Battle! Blackwing—Armored Wing, attack ‘Demon Devil King Rabiel’!”
