To be honest, he wasn’t close to Bo Ma—he only knew Bo Ma had become a Dark Seal bearer out of resentment, believing that Godwin had sacrificed the people of his hometown, only to later discover it was the Earthbound Immortal, not Godwin, who had done it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, You Xuan brutally defeated the Lord of the Underworld, reviving several Dark Seal bearers who had died—including Bo Ma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jack only knew this much in general; he had no real connection with Bo Ma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan offered no further explanation. In truth, Jack’s evolutionary trigger wasn’t tied to Bo Ma himself, but to Bo Ma’s hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was from the W-RGP anime arc: the Earthbound Immortals weren’t limited to the few defeated by the Dark Seal bearers in that storyline. The true strongest Earthbound Immortal was known as the “Crimson Lotus Demon,” possessing terrifying power unmatched by any other Earthbound Immortal—yet it had never awakened during the earlier Dark Seal arc battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend said that ten thousand years ago, the strongest Earthbound Immortal ravaged the land. A Dragon Seal bearer of that era, wielding the power of the “Burning Soul,” defeated it and sealed the Crimson Lotus Demon beneath the earth. Since then, the legend of the Crimson Lotus Demon had endured for ten millennia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anime later revealed that modern-day Jack Atlas was the inheritor of that ancient Burning Soul hero. Jack awakened the Burning Soul, absorbed the power of the Crimson Lotus Earthbound Immortal, and integrated it into himself, evolving his Crimson Lotus Dragon into “Crimson Nova Dragon”—his strongest card in the anime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the very place where the Crimson Lotus Demon had been sealed ten thousand years ago happened to be Bo Ma’s homeland. That was why You Xuan had told Jack to pay it a visit when he had time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yusei’s most pivotal transformation in the anime was attaining the “Mirror Still Heart,” then Jack’s was the “Burning Soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the anime, the Crimson Lotus Demon never even got a chance to appear—it was absorbed outright by Jack, leaving audiences for years unaware of what the strongest Earthbound Immortal actually looked like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in 2024, after a certain K Corporation repeatedly reaped profits from nostalgia, it began frantically mining the classic old three generations of Yu-Gi-Oh! for new card-selling opportunities—and so, the legendary Crimson Lotus Demon finally received its own physical card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earthbound Immortal - Crimson Nova, 12 Stars, ATK 3500.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: During either player’s Main Phase, you can banish this card from your hand or graveyard; then, banish one Earthbound Immortal or Crimson Lotus Dragon from your hand or field, and special summon one “Earthbound” monster or one “Crimson Nova Dragon” from your deck or extra deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson Nova was the benefactor on Jack’s evolutionary path, the most crucial monster—he absolutely had to obtain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan said no more, notified his subordinates in the Public Order Bureau to clean up the scene, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was skeptical of what he’d been told, but after thinking it over, he decided to make time to visit Bo Ma. He felt You Xuan was mysterious, yet seemed to know a great deal—and he didn’t act without purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn’t possibly be that You Xuan was just bored and sending Jack on a wild goose chase for fun, could it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning, You Xuan immediately investigated at Taiyi and quickly confirmed two facts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, this fake Jack was also a Zone product—or more precisely, used Zone’s technology, identical to the replication technique used on the recently defeated Breau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, although the technology was the same, it wasn’t made by Zone—at least not by the Zone You Xuan knew. No records of any attempt to copy or replicate Jack existed within Taiyi’s internal systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this fake Jack likely came from the same faction as the previous fake Breau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the fact that it could defeat the real one meant its performance was certainly impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You Xuan went to Taiyi’s headquarters and took a look at the “Circuit” diagramming progress. The results were promising: since the start of W-RGP, half of it had already been completed, and they were still in the preliminary rounds—real intense battles hadn’t even begun yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things continued like this, Zone’s Arc Cradle should be summoned soon. The shadowy forces wouldn’t just let them summon such a powerful weapon without acting—so as long as W-RGP continued, they’d likely strike again. Speaking of intense battles, You Xuan checked his “Duel Must Be Fun” team’s next scheduled opponent and raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he’d finally faced an interesting opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Norse Triad Gods’ holders, a top-tier team from the 5D’s anime: the Ragnarok Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, the sun was refracted by holographic projectors hovering above the arena into a rainbow halo, and the circular stands, filled with tens of thousands of seats, had become a boiling sea of metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the W-RGP announcement blared, “Ragnarok Team entering!”, the entire dome suddenly projected a massive totem of the Norse World Tree, with three beams of light piercing through the smoke at its roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Ragnarok Team’s entrance: Harald, Brever, and Dragan—the three bearers of the Triad Gods’ power—each riding a D-wheel, bursting from the smoke amid roaring cheers and shouts, racing onto the track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And now we’ve reached the most anticipated duel of the entire W-RGP preliminary stage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiky-haired announcer shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the Nordic lands, the star combat team, the Duelists who command the ‘Gods’—Ragnarok Team!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Facing off against W-RGP’s lone-wolf team, Duel Must Be Fun, led by the Public Order Bureau’s own Commander Wang Tengmu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander Wang Tengmu has won every match so far, defeating every opponent single-handedly. Today, he faces an extraordinary adversary—can he continue his miracle, holding off three opponents at once?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The announcer was hyping the atmosphere, and the crowd was roaring—but the three members of Ragnarok Team weren’t pleased at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One against three? He thinks he can beat all three of us alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brever of Ragnarok Team, holder of the Triad God Loki, crossed his arms with a sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a joke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Harald said: “Don’t underestimate him. Anyone bold enough to compete alone—and who’s won every match so far—must be a formidable duelist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dragan added: “Wang Tengmu is undoubtedly a skilled duelist. But even so, to face gods—and expect to defeat all three?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think such a duelist simply doesn’t exist on Earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Captain Harald said nothing—his silence was agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always told his teammates not to underestimate opponents just because they had gods—but even he now felt that, no matter how cautious they were, three against one, all three wielding divine power—how could they possibly lose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were possible, wouldn’t the man across from them have to be a god himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1143,"2026-06-19T08:58:37.480Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","69f5dac33f5068b24ab9c4146923552443b3fbdd26e7ea9720e88a594517edd7","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-981","who-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-chapter-979",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwho-let-him-play-yu-gi-oh-cover.jpg"]
