Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yugen said, "The attack power of Power Executor Mars is determined by the difference in our Life Points. Our Life Points have changed during this turn, so Mars’s attack power has also changed accordingly."

[Yugen, LP 14900]

[Paradox, LP 1500]

[Power Executor Mars, Attack Power 13400]

Paradox looked grim. This level of change in attack power almost had no effect on the situation; as long as he gets hit by it, he’s finished.

"The battle continues," Yugen said, "Power Executor Mars, direct attack!"

Mars once again raised the giant hammer in his hand, and it came crashing down with a force that seemed to shake the heavens and earth.

Yugen smiled and said, "As a future person possessing the strongest Elf Power from all dimensions, you shouldn’t disappoint me so easily, right?"

Hearing the mockery in his words, Paradox’s lip twitched, and he snorted with a cold laugh.

"Your arrogance ends here, mistaken King.

Activate Cover Card, Continuous Trap—

—Skill Extraction!!!"

He activated the cover card from his back row, and immediately an endless vortex erupted from the trap. The entire field was instantly covered by the vortex, an indescribable pressure suppressing all things, making the entire world pale in comparison to this card.

Even Yugen’s face couldn’t help but change slightly.

Skill Extraction!

This guy actually has the legendary must-have for socially withdrawn players, a large-scale weapon of mass destruction active on the front lines for retribution against society from the moment of its birth; even to this day, it still holds devastating power against many mainstream card decks, Skill Extraction!

Any Yu-Gi-Oh! player who is socially withdrawn... no, it should be said that any card enthusiast would not fail to recognize this card. Because this card holds an extremely significant position in the Underworld Realm.

Furthermore, as the history of development and environment evolves, the effects of Effect Monsters in the Yu-Gi-Oh! system are becoming increasingly important in the environment. Resource search and deployment, card deck expansion to build the field, resolving field capabilities, the ability to interrupt the opponent’s actions outside the turn...

To this day, Monster Effects are tenfold or even hundredfold more important than they were at the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh! In the early environment, card decks mostly relied on Magic Cards for card advantage and field resolution, on Trap Cards for setting traps and interruptions, but today, these functions have almost entirely been replaced by more stable and efficient Monster Effects, with powerful Effect Monsters overall superseding Magic and Traps.

In modern Yu-Gi-Oh!, when a mature card enthusiast evaluates the value of a new card, the ability to "negate the activation of opposing monster effects" is absolutely more valuable than "negate Magic Traps."

And because of this, the ability to indiscriminately turn all monsters on the field into blank cards with "Skill Extraction," as time progresses and versions advance, this old card has not only not lost its value but has instead increased like a fine wine, gradually becoming a formidable ruler of the Underworld Realm.

"Skill Extraction makes all monster effects on the field invalid!"

Paradox’s gloomy face cleared, and he laughed heartily.

"The terrifying attack power of your ’Power Executor Mars’ was entirely gained through Monster Effects! If his effect is invalidated, his original attack power... is zero!"

[Power Executor Mars, Attack Power 13400 → Attack Power 0]

Keihei’s expression also changed slightly.

"This is bad; all monster effects are invalid... If that’s the case, Cotton Candy’s destruction resistance, Great Angels’ summoning lock, Power Executor’s extreme attack suppression, all resolved by just one card..."

Keihei couldn’t help but take a serious look at Paradox.

"To think there would be such a terrifying card... who exactly is this guy?"

Paradox sneered, "It’s not just you who can use lockdown tactics."

Isn’t it just being socially withdrawn? Who wouldn’t?

Yugen said, "Then I’ll set one card face-down and end the turn."

"My turn, draw."

Paradox declared.

"Activate the Magic Card ’Adversity’s Treasure Scroll.’ If there’s a Special Summoned Monster on the opponent’s field and no monsters on my field, I can draw two cards from my deck." (Original Card)

Paradox drew two more cards.

Counting the previous Transformation Pot, he had already drawn a large number of cards into his hand. As he glanced over the hand that had been refilled, his lips slightly curved, as if he finally saw the key card among the large number drawn.

"Activate the second Field Spell—

—Sin World!!!"

The illusory world of the Sin Dominator, the domain wielding the most powerful Elves across dimensions. The Celestial Sanctuary instantly shattered, the holy white clouds replaced by the Dark Domain, the snow-white palace seemed to fall from the clouds, shattering into pieces on the earth.

"The world of Sin descends once again; now I can dominate the Sin Monsters anew."

Paradox said with a triumphant smile.

"Therefore, I send ’Ultimate Gemstone God - Rainbow Dragon’ from the deck to the graveyard, appear—

—Sin: Rainbow Dragon!"

The seven-colored gemstones soared into the sky, swirling and dancing mid-air, as if bridging a rainbow bridge. The giant dragon under the illumination of the rainbow light followed the seven-colored bridge, diving down with a buzzing roar and landing on the ground.

[Sin: Rainbow Dragon, Attack Power 4000]

Keihei exclaimed, "Even the Ultimate Gemstone God is here..."

"Hahaha! This is the power of Sin, wielding the power of the strongest Elves across time and space! And this..."

Paradox drew two cards that automatically slid out of his deck and sent them to the graveyard.

"From my deck, I send an ’Blue-Eyes White Dragon’ and a ’True Red-Eyed Black Dragon’ each to the graveyard.

Arise!

Sin: Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

Sin: True Red-Eyed Black Dragon!"

One black and one white, the legendary dragons active in the early DM era, known as the White Dragon that brings victory and the Black Dragon that brings possibilities, both descended on the field.

[Sin: Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Attack Power 3000]

[Sin: True Red-Eyed Black Dragon, Attack Power 2400]

In an instant, three powerful Dragon Races descended once more!

The researchers in the research lab were dumbfounded: "Summoning high-level monsters all at once like this... what kind of absurd card deck is this!?"

The traits of the Sin Card Deck almost went beyond the consistent understanding of dueling that these people had. Such powerful high-level monsters popping out without hesitation was simply a transcendence of logic for a card deck.

Yugen raised an arm to shield against the hurricane of monster summoning and looked up at the three giant dragons, saying, "Skill Extraction indiscriminately seals all monster effects on the field, and then relies on the high attack advantage of Sin Monsters to suppress?"

This was indeed a powerful strategy.

The characteristic of Sin Monsters is to easily summon high-attack monsters, and they mainly have detrimental side effects from their monster effects. The anime at least had some strength; if it were a physical card, without the Field, it would self-destruct, and if more than one appeared on the Field, it would self-destruct, with many restrictions.

But under Skill Extraction, it locks down the opponent’s actions while nullifying the Sin Monster’s own side effects, achieving two goals at once, easily pressing the opponent to a standstill.

Turning all the opponent’s monsters into blank cards, and then relying on rich Axe King chopping experience to defeat the opponent.

"Hahaha, even if you understand it, it’s already too late!"

Paradox shouted.

"Sin: Rainbow Dragon! Attack ’Power Executor Mars’!"
