Now you’d better be ready for the consequences!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go! ‘Mech Emperor·Shen Kong ∞’, direct attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yu Xuan’s only monster on the field had already been banished by his own trap—his field was now completely empty. With no obstacle left before the Mech Emperor Shen Kong, light particles spiraled and coalesced into a blue orb, transforming into a plasma cannon that shot straight toward Yu Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this very moment, the additional effect of the continuous trap ‘Dimensional Gate’ activates,” Yu Xuan said. “When your monster declares an attack, I can send this card to the graveyard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan was stunned: “You’re sending your own card to the graveyard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Sai said: “No, this guy’s real intention is probably—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Yu Xuan continued: “The follow-up effect of Dimensional Gate! When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, monsters banished by this card’s effect are special summoned back to the field.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trap vanished into golden specks of light; from the dimensional rift in the sky, another white beam descended. Electricity crackled, energy scattered, and the steel body of the Electronic Dragon reappeared once more within the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was in defense position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hybrid Rampage Dragon, DEF 1600】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Hybrid Rampage Dragon had already left the field once, its equipped card “Blazing Piercer” had automatically been destroyed due to losing its target. Hybrid Rampage Dragon’s ATK reverted to its original 2100—now clearly no match for Shen Kong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think a defense-position monster can block damage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The humiliation I suffered last turn won’t be forgotten so easily!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The effect of the upgrade I just gave ‘Mech Emperor·Shen Kong ∞’—Shen Kong Attack Unit 5! It allows your own ‘Mech Emperor·Shen Kong ∞’ to directly attack the opponent player!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan: “Oh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Mech Emperor’s ATK, direct attacks in a 4000 LP environment would indeed be powerful. But compared to the troublesome summoning conditions of Shen Kong Attack Unit 5, it was negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yu Xuan still had one back-row card: the trap he had searched last turn, “Artificial Brain Overflow.” This trap could banish an Electronic Dragon from the graveyard to destroy an equal number of cards on the opponent’s field—a potent disruption trap. Theoretically, he could activate it now to destroy Shen Kong and block the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yu Xuan did not activate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had already obtained the full set of Mech Emperor components from Zone, he knew precisely why He Sai had revived “Shen Lu Zai Bu”—to provide an extra layer of protection for Lu Qiyan’s Shen Kong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Shen Lu Zai Bu remained on the field, once per turn, it could negate the destruction of any monster on its controller’s field. So even if Yu Xuan activated Artificial Brain Overflow, it would simply be negated by Zai Bu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Kong’s cannon blast tore straight through the front row, ignoring Hybrid Rampage Dragon, and struck the back row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Yu Xuan, LP 8000 → LP 4700】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s that!” Lu Qiyan gloated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan brushed dust off his clothes: “You gave up the chance to destroy ‘Hybrid Rampage Dragon’ just to deal damage? You really hate me that much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up,” Lu Qiyan grunted. “I’ll set one more card. End turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Hybrid Rampage Dragon’s ATK had reverted to its original value—it was no match for Shen Kong. Even if it could attack multiple times, he didn’t think it mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My turn, draw.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan glanced at the drawn card and played it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spell Card—‘Burial Rite of the Sacred Scrolls.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Banish three spell cards from the graveyard—‘Fusion,’ ‘Sealing Arrow,’ and ‘Blazing Piercer’—then draw two cards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan calmly drew two cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I activate my set card—Trap Card ‘Artificial Brain Overflow!’” Yu Xuan said. “Banish any number of different-level ‘Electronic Dragon’ cards from your hand or graveyard, then destroy an equal number of cards on your field.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan revealed one Electronic Dragon in his graveyard and pointed at Lu Qiyan’s set card—the same one He Sai had originally set, which had survived Hybrid Rampage Dragon’s destruction and later been sealed by Sealing Arrow, that ill-fated set card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Banish an ‘Electronic Dragon’ from the graveyard, and destroy your set card!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan: “No way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activate my set card—Trap Card ‘Infinite Wall!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During the turn this card is activated, all destruction caused by card effects becomes invalid!” (Original card)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infinite series were all original traps used by the three Mech Emperor users. An energy barrier formed around Lu Qiyan’s field, blocking the blast from Artificial Brain Overflow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe, how unfortunate—you seemed so wary of He Sai’s traps,” Lu Qiyan laughed. “But in the end, you still had to step right into it yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not being able to destroy it is a bit troublesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But destruction isn’t the only way to clear traps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan: “What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan: “Activate Spell Card ‘Doll of Deception!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Force the activation of one set trap on the field. If that trap is activated at an incorrect timing, its effect is negated and it is destroyed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan and He Sai: “What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t destroy it? Then force it to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is that even allowed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So—the trap you’ve protected since the very beginning…” Yu Xuan gestured with a finger, smiling. “Come on, let me see what it really is.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, He Sai’s set card was forcibly flipped face-up, revealing its true identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trap Card—Explosive Armor. When the opponent declares an attack, destroy the attacking monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that buildup—counter-protection, destruction immunity—and it turns out to be... Explosive Armor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seriously?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, Yu Xuan cleared his throat: “Explosive Armor can only be activated during an attack declaration—its timing is incorrect, so its effect is negated and it is destroyed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, due to ‘Infinite Wall,’ cards on your field can’t be destroyed this turn. But even if it can’t be destroyed, Explosive Armor has already been forcibly activated—its effect is negated, and it is sent to the graveyard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Sai: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even under the absolute protection of ‘Infinite Wall,’ which prevented all card destruction this turn, Explosive Armor still couldn’t be saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo now faintly sensed the curse entwined around this trap—affected by the will of the cosmos, forever unable to activate properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Explosive Armor, their defense remained solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Shen Kong’s ATK was still higher than Yu Xuan’s Hybrid Rampage Dragon. And even if Yu Xuan tried to target other Mech Emperor components, the now-unarmed Rampage Dragon had lost its piercing ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other Mech Emperor components on their field were in defense position—attacking them would deal no damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, among Shen Kong’s components, Shen Kong Defense Unit had the effect “once per turn, negate an opponent’s attack,” and the hybrid Shen Lu Zai Bu could negate monster destruction once per turn. Shen Kong was now an impenetrable wall—not easily toppled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan: “Quick-Play Spell—‘Fusion Release.’ Release the ‘Hybrid Rampage Dragon’ on the field, reverting it to its pre-fusion state.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Original Electronic Dragon, ATK 1100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Electronic Dragon Core, DEF 1500】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan and He Sai: “?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You released such a powerful Rampage Dragon... into these two trash cards?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan glanced at the two and smiled. “The Mech Emperor, the Synchro Killer, excels at stealing the opponent’s Synchro monsters to instantly kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing an opponent who doesn’t use Synchro—unable to steal their monsters—must feel frustrating, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan continued calmly: “And you probably never imagined that the Mech Emperor, always the hunter, would one day become the prey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duo: “?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prey? What prey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan offered no further explanation—only waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why did I choose the Electronic Dragon as your opponent? Let me show you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I banish from our fields—‘Original Electronic Dragon,’ ‘Electronic Dragon Core,’ ‘Mech Emperor·Shen Kong ∞,’ Shen Kong’s top unit, Zai Bu, Attack Unit, Defense Unit, plus the support component ‘Shen Lu Zai Bu’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eight monsters total are sent to the graveyard for the Ultimate Electronic Fusion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Sai: “??????”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiyan: “??????”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man and the boy, two different faces, identical expressions of shock and bewilderment—as if a long string of question marks rolled across their foreheads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you dare make this up—can you even fuse like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you seriously fuse your opponent’s monsters into your own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fusion condition: One Electronic Dragon plus one or more Machine-Type monsters! Fusion Summon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan grinned wickedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The ultimate technique of the Electronic Stream—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“—Hybrid Fortress Dragon!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hybrid Fortress Dragon, ATK 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Mech Emperor emperors stared in stunned silence as their invincible Mech Emperor—the legendary Synchro Killer that had dominated the Synchro dimension and crushed countless great monsters—was now, body and all, swallowed whole by the opponent’s Electronic Dragon, dissolving into a storm of metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the storm subsided, every component fused perfectly, forming the colossal Fortress Dragon before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were utterly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is this!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry about that,\" You Xuan smiled. \"If you call yourselves Synchro Killers, then my Electronic Dragon should probably be called 'Mechanical Killer.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is far stronger than the so-called 'Synchro Killer' of the Machine Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Machine Emperor is hard to summon; it can only absorb one monster per turn, and even then, it requires activating an effect, targeting an opponent’s monster—it can be chained, dodged, or negated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But our Electronic Dragon is different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electronic Dragon has many disguises, is easy to summon, just slap it down and it’s ready to use. And when Electronic Dragon devours an opponent’s monster, it treats the opponent as fusion material—no effect activation, no chain, cannot be rebound, cannot be dodged or negated, and there’s no limit of one per turn—so long as there are enough Machine-type monsters on the field, it can swallow ten or eight at once without effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the Attack Power of Fusion Fortress Dragon becomes the number of fusion materials multiplied by 1000,\" You Xuan said. \"Fortress Dragon just devoured eight fusion materials, so its Attack Power is now 8000!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Fusion Fortress Dragon, ATK 8000】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qiayano x He Sai: \".\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, Fusion Fortress Dragon,\" You Xuan said. \"Directly attack He Sai and Lu Qiayano.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Lu Qiayano x He Sai, LP 1200→LP 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1743,"2026-06-19T08:58:37.480Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2b15ec754617e5387db03a7e748fc99455e9f5129d98011f40c7cc8de54f1abe","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-949","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-947",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
