Ride the bike, play the cards—after all, in the 5D’s manga, riding duels were still conducted under traditional rules without any issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two remaining Emperor Taiyi exchanged another glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The introduction of the newly developed field magic High-Speed World 2 into WRGP had long been a fixed plan; the first global riding duel tournament to feature High-Speed World 2 was itself one of the event’s selling points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the newly appointed leader had simply waved his hand and scrapped it entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever, no choice—after all, he’s the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jose and Lu Qian had already accepted the situation in silence, saying nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, at that very moment, ripples spread through the space. The void split open like a door, and a figure in white robes appeared behind the transparent portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last Emperor Taiyi, Plaxido, who had supposedly gone out on business, now stormed through that door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of situation is this? The new Emperor of Taiyi?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stepped in, he saw Jose and Lu Qian with expressions of helplessness, and You Xuan—who had clearly become the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—you’re that guy?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His questioning gaze turned to his two veteran colleagues; they met his eyes and nodded helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jose, Plaxido, and Lu Qian were essentially one being; before being replicated into these three robots, they had been a single man in life—one of Zone’s closest friends, named Apollia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three correspond to Apollia’s different ages and life stages, embodying the three deepest forms of despair he experienced at those times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a boy, Apollia witnessed his parents die before his eyes, giving birth to Lu Qian—the despair of “losing everyone who loved him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a young man, Apollia lost his beloved in a rebellion, giving birth to Plaxido—the despair of “losing the one he loved.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an old man, Apollia endured the apocalypse, watching his family, lover, and comrades die one after another, feeling utterly abandoned, alone, and no longer needing love—this despair gave rise to Jose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of these three despairs, Plaxido, representing Apollia’s youth, had the fiercest temper. As Jose put it, men of that age valued their dignity above all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To suddenly have a new boss imposed upon him—how could he possibly tolerate it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The gods appointed this guy as the new Emperor of Taiyi?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido sized up You Xuan and snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t see any talent in this guy at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jose snapped: “Plaxido—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could finish, You Xuan waved his hand to interrupt, then smiled: “Capable officers naturally have more ideas. I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve just sparred with your two colleagues—their decks are still warm from the battle. Perfect—let’s try again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido sneered: “I’d be delighted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jose opened his mouth as if to stop him, but after a moment’s hesitation, he closed it again, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qian also made no move to stop him; instead, he wore an expectant expression and let out a strange “hehehe” laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their strange reactions puzzled Plaxido, but he didn’t dwell on it—he quickly barked: “Come on! Let me show you the power of Emperor Machine·Divine Mind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment he uttered the name of his proud Divine Mind, Lu Qian laughed even harder, as if already eager to witness something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: “I won’t take advantage—I’ll let you go first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido sneered: “Heh, don’t regret it when my turn comes—draw!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I summon ‘Core of Wisdom’ in attack position!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Core of Wisdom, ATK 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Activate the spell card ‘Chaos Bloom’!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I have no cards with the same name in my graveyard, destroy all monsters on the field with 1000 or less ATK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I destroy my own ‘Core of Wisdom’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the moment ‘Core of Wisdom’ is destroyed, its effect activates!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special summon ‘Divine Mind Head’, ‘Divine Mind Attack’, ‘Divine Mind Defense’, ‘Divine Mind Carrier’, and ‘Emperor Machine·Divine Mind ∞’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuse together—‘Emperor Machine·Divine Mind ∞’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five white mechanical parts merged into one, their heads and limbs all attaching to the infinite core. Black sections on the head glowed with red patterns; infinite rings spun within the machine’s core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Emperor Machine·Divine Mind ∞, ATK 2500】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido was proud to have summoned his Wangpai  Divine Mind in the first turn, but as he glanced at his colleagues, he saw Lu Qian grinning even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually composed Jose’s eyes held a hint of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido was bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are they laughing? Is my invincible Divine Mind that funny?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summoning Emperor Machine again in one turn—impressive, impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now my turn—draw.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since my opponent has monsters on the field and I have none, I special summon ‘Cyber Dragon’ from my hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Cyber Dragon, ATK 2100】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido glanced at Cyber Dragon, then sneered: “A high-level monster that can be summoned directly? It’s a strong monster, but do you really think this thing can defeat my Emperor Machine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan: “I use ‘Cyber Dragon’, ‘Emperor Machine·Divine Mind ∞’, ‘Divine Mind Head’, ‘Divine Mind Carrier’, ‘Divine Mind Attack’, and ‘Divine Mind Defense’—a total of five monsters as fusion materials—to fusion summon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Composite Fortress Dragon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plaxido: “!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1078,"2026-06-19T08:58:37.480Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","47c2b6988d1cb6d0aa25a10083fb9d9233d9b0f48dd6e4e462ecb3b59152cc51","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-951","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-949",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
