Level-three ‘Silent Psychic Priest’! Tuning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【2+3=5】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magical circuit restructures the equation of life—a crystallization of science and magic! Synchro Summon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level five, Mana Construct!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Synchro halo, a gear-shaped magical array appeared; mechanical conduits spread like veins from empty space. Amid crackling arcs of electricity, a metallic humanoid encrusted with crystals slowly descended from the luminous screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mana Construct, ATK 2400】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina’s teammate Victor, watching from outside the field, praised: “Excellent! Lina completed her Synchro Summon first. If she keeps this up—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he finished, You Xuan spoke: “At this very moment, I activate the counter trap ‘Black Horn of Ascension’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When your opponent special summons a monster, you can activate this: negate that special summon and destroy that monster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black horn floated into the air. Its sides flapped with demonic wings as it slowly rose, blowing a forbidden blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mana Construct, barely landed and still unsteady, trembled violently. Electricity sparked and crackled across its body, then under the forbidden sound, it exploded into a fireball, shards burning as they scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina: “Nani!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airplane-haired commentator couldn’t help but exclaim: “Oh oh! Who would’ve thought Lina’s Synchro monster was destroyed before it even touched the ground? Clearly, You Xuan entered this solo match fully prepared!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan continued: “And at this very moment, the effect of my ‘Althea of Abundance’ also activates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While ‘Althea’ is on the field, each time either player activates a counter trap, draw one card.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan drew a card, then smiled: “What a pity—your Synchro Summon didn’t succeed after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina gritted her teeth: “It’s just one trap. Don’t get too cocky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just one trap?” You Xuan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You clearly don’t understand at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t understand the terror of the Counter Angel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Lina used two monsters as materials to summon ‘Mana Construct.’ You Xuan destroyed it with a single counter trap—already a 1-for-2 exchange. Then, activating the trap triggered Althea’s effect, letting You Xuan draw another card, widening the card advantage further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single trap granted You Xuan massive advantage. This is why Althea is one of the core Counter Angels—each time a counter trap activates, she gains cards, and with that resource flow, the opponent quickly falls behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lina kept playing: “Send ‘Silent Psychic Priest’ from the field to the graveyard, and special summon the monster previously banished by this card’s effect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, ‘Mind Girl’ is special summoned!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young girl with golden hair, resembling a psychic child, returned to Lina’s field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mind Girl, ATK 500】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mind Girl’s effect: when this card is special summoned after being banished from the game, place the top card of your deck face-down in the banished zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina drew the top card from her deck and shoved it directly into one side of her D-Ride’s card box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, activate my face-down card!” Lina said. “Continuous trap ‘Enhanced Revival’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Select one monster of level four or lower from your graveyard, special summon it, and increase its level by one, and its ATK and DEF by 100 each!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Revive, ‘Silent Psychic Priest’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priest, just sent to the graveyard, returned to the field—now wrapped in trap energy, its body blazing like fire, its level rising from three to four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level two, Tuner monster ‘Mind Girl’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level four, ‘Silent Psychic Priest’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tuning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【2+4=6】“Born from the chaotic storm of thought, a mad incarnation feasting on twisted psychic energy—tear apart reality! Synchro Summon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level six, Psychic Demon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Synchro halo, a twisted transparent vortex formed. The spinning psychic ring shattered amid the psychic storm. Purple-black neural fibers erupted from empty space, weaving around the Synchro column to form the demon’s silhouette. Massive bony wings crackled with psychic lightning; floating vertebrae released arcs of electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Psychic Demon, ATK 2400】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The airplane-haired commentator excitedly cried: “Oh oh! Who could’ve imagined that after Lina’s first Synchro Summon was shattered, she immediately performed a second one in the same turn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Double Synchro!” Victor, outside the field, also affirmed: “This girl’s got some guts!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina, feeling she’d performed brilliantly, beamed with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think you’re so good at trapping? Try trapping this one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this moment, ‘Mind Girl’s’ follow-up effect activates,” Lina said. “When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, the card previously banished face-down by its effect is added to your hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina added the card banished by Mind Girl to her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind Girl banishes a card from the top of the deck when summoned, then returns it to hand when leaving the field—effectively drawing a card through this Synchro Summon sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, Psychic Demon’s effect activates!” Lina said. “Once per turn, you can randomly select one card from your opponent’s hand and guess whether it’s a monster, spell, or trap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you guess correctly, that card’s ATK increases by 1000 until the end of your opponent’s next turn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guess correctly and gain 1000 ATK. Guess wrong and suffer no penalty—so even a wrong guess lets you see one random card from your opponent’s hand for free. Either way, you gain. It’s essentially an effect that activates every turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But at this very moment, you’ve triggered another trap,” You Xuan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina: “Nani!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Counter trap ‘Divine Punishment’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan raised his hand. The D-Ride’s side trap flipped over. Thunder rolled across the sky, as if shaking the heavens. Dark storm clouds churned above the Psychic Demon—clearly, they meant business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When a monster effect activates, ‘Divine Punishment’ forces you to discard one card from your hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan sent one card from his hand into the D-Ride’s graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Negate that effect and destroy that monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning struck. The Psychic Demon exploded under the blast, screaming in agony—before it could move, it was reduced to fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And naturally, since a counter trap was activated, ‘Althea of Abundance’s’ effect triggers again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan slowly drew another card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When a counter trap activates, I draw one card from my deck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, another card in You Xuan’s hand was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, the effect of my hand card, ‘Dragon of the Underworld, Judge of Sin,’ activates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When a counter trap under my control negates an opponent’s card, I can directly special summon this card from my hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come forth, Dragon of the Underworld, Judge of Sin!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-06-19T08:58:37.480Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","40daf19057fe2ccd8e434fbcb5b0fd7ef4efcd66f0f928526101d9f7a2620238","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-962","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-960",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
