Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"Chain with [Imitator], the effect of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] will be activated automatically." Although he was reluctant, Manjomu was still forced to say the effect of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness], "Activate when a monster effect, magic, or trap card is activated. This card's attack and defense power decrease by 1000 points, and that activation is negated!"

"Golden Breath!"

Because the reduction in attack power and defense power is not a cost for activating the effect of [Light and Darkness Dragon King] but a part of the effect, the attack power of [Light and Darkness Dragon King] remains unchanged at 3400 points for the time being, but with its threatening roar, it seems that it is about to turn part of its power into golden dragon breath with a negating effect and repel the [Imitator Fantasy] who is trying to offend it.

However, Xie Wan was waiting for this moment!

"This self-activation effect is the same as that of [Osiris's Sky Dragon]. No wonder Lord Hayato called it the 'traitor dragon'!" Xie Wan looked at the [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] with a satisfied smile, "But, this is the moment I've been waiting for!"

"Although you only used the effect of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] once in the previous turn, I have already seen that its effect can only be used once in a chain, right? In that case, as long as you use any effect to trick it out once, and then add the effect of Spell Speed ​​2, you can activate the effect!"

"C1 [Imitator Fantasy] C2 [Dragon King of Light and Darkness], and then C3! The effect of my [Millennium Eyes Sacrifice] is activated!"

Xie Wanyi waved his hand, "Once per turn, when the opponent activates a monster effect, you can activate it by targeting an effect monster on the opponent's field or in the graveyard - use that opponent's effect monster as an equipment card to equip [Millennium Eyes Narrative Demon]!"

"The monster I choose is naturally the [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] on your field! Monsters with the same name as the monster equipped by the effect of [Thousand-Year Eyes] will not be able to attack and their effects will be negated, which will negate the effect of your [Dragon King of Light and Darkness]!"

The countless golden eyes that were spread all over the [Millennium Eye Demon] suddenly opened their hands and shone brightly. The sky was instantly covered by its power. Looking closely, one could see that countless "Thousand Eyes" were floating in the air, overlooking the Ten Thousand Eyes and the [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] from high above.

"A hundred eyes, a thousand eyes, one with the light and dust!"

The golden dragon breath of the [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] was exhaled into the golden light spread by the [Thousand-Year Eye Demon] which was covered in golden light, but it failed to cause the slightest ripple. Instead, the golden light expanded further, intending to include the [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] and be swallowed by it!

"Damn it! How can I resist such a powerful force! [Millennium Eyes] is so powerful that it's really frustrating that I can't satisfy it-" Wanzhangmu showed a panicked expression, but he couldn't help complaining as he spoke, "No, I can't show the feeling of being truly desperate. Tsk, I still need to practice more in this area."

"Huh?" Xie Wan was stunned, looking at the [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] with some surprise, as he didn't worry about him at all.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard Manzhangmu say, "Strong men singing their praises as they embark on an invincible road of conquest seem to attract a lot of fans, but I have a certain degree of self-knowledge, and that kind of battle is not very suitable for me. In the duelist forum, an American named 'Dreaming of Becoming a Cartoonist' replied to me, saying that a more dramatic duel process is actually very popular, such as the protagonist encountering a strong enemy and winning after a difficult struggle."

"I was thinking about fighting you against my face and pretending to struggle, but I feel like Caesar is more experienced in this area. Should I go to him for advice? Tsk, absolutely not!"

Xie Wan still didn't quite understand what Wanzhangmu was saying, so he asked, "I still don't understand why you are so relaxed. It's obvious that your [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] is about to--"

"I'm about to be devoured by your [Millennium Eyes Sacrificial Demon]? Tsk tsk, you haven't reacted yet? You just imitated my handsome face but failed to learn my perfect personality." Wanzhangmu narcissistically lifted his bangs and pointed at Xie Wan, "Then let me explain the truth! The answer is actually - when did you have the illusion that I was really troubled by your [Millennium Eyes Sacrificial Demon]?"

"Huh? Could it be that isn't true?" Xie Wan was stunned. The Millennium Eye Demon, which clearly possessed the ability to sense emotions, had revealed to him that the other party had indeed experienced some difficult emotions for a moment. Could it be that it had sensed it wrongly?
"Of course it's not true, it's all my perfect acting!"

——This was a lie. Manjomu was actually panicked, but he immediately calmed down after seeing the perfect hand he drew with [Mirage of Nightmare] and continued his performance.

Now he planned to attribute all the real and fake things to acting, and forcefully muddle through, and change the subject: "Last time on my turn, you tested out the flaws in the effects of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness], but I also tested out the flaws in your arrangement last time on my turn!"

"Right! That is - although [Magician's Left Hand] and [Magician's Right Hand] can protect you from being affected by Spell and Trap Cards respectively, and [Thousand-Year Eyes] can effectively restrain monster effects, the problem is that their effects can only be used once each!"

"Just like you used two consecutive effects to dodge the first effect of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness], I only need to use magic, traps and monster effects twice to dodge your seal!" Pulling out a card from his hand, Manjomu said arrogantly, "Isn't this card more suitable for you, the founder of Duel Monsters, the Pegasus deck?"

"I can activate this by releasing a Dragon-type Fusion monster on my field - Special Summon this monster from my hand!"

"The card of Mr. Hayato who defeated Pegasus——【Dark Knight-Gaia Warrior】!"

Under Xie Wan's surprised eyes, the [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] on Wanzhangmu's field, before being absorbed by the power of [Millennium Eye Sacrifice Demon], had already transformed his own weapons, the power of light and darkness into armor, and flew towards Wanzhangmu's hand!
As Manjomu placed a card on the duel disk, a warrior holding a gun appeared on the stage!

[Dark Knight-Gaia Warrior] [8☆/Dark]

【Warrior/Effect】

[2600/2100]

Pure Dragon, Light and Dark? The Wanzhang Purpose deck is not as simple as others think, but has been specially adjusted during the past holidays. Among them, there is a special card [Dark Knight-Gaia Warrior] specially prepared considering that the newly acquired [Light and Dark Dragon King] is easy to be deceived and then removed at a second speed.

Although because the [Gaia] deck was a common deck used by the Duel King Hayato Kobayashi in his early days, the prices of the [Gaia] series cards - especially the single cards like [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] which are quite powerful when taken alone - have risen sharply in the market with the increasing popularity of Duel Monsters and the spread of the reputation of the Duel King, but Manjomu got this card six years ago, when the Duel City was not yet completed.

At that time, because Hayato saved their brothers, after giving the [Dragon of Light and Dark] that he had always disliked to Hayato, Manjome got this card from the card shop under the name of the Manjome Foundation to fill the gap in his deck of only 39 cards. It doesn't matter even if he can't summon it. A real duelist can still win the duel with useless pieces.

——Then, the next day, Manjomu discovered that there was inexplicably an extra [Dragon of Light and Darkness] in the deck beside his bed. He had clearly given away the cards, it was as if there was a haunting.

With tears in his eyes, he put [Dragon of Light and Darkness] back into the deck, and then he simply put [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] into a card holder and sealed it in a card brick, and placed it on the bedside as a collection. It was not until this holiday that he reactivated this card that became more and more valuable as he collected it, just like "daughter's red wine". Don't think that Manjome is just imagining things, his idea of ​​adding [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] is very good - this has been proven by countless duels between him and the duel robots of Kaiba Paradise.

"Master Gaia!" Xie Wan's eyes widened. He could not have expected that Manjomu, who was playing a pure dragon just now, would suddenly pull out a Dark Knight - Gaia vest. Although he quickly realized that the Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior in front of him was just an ordinary Duel Monster and not the Gaia next to Hayato, Xie Wan showed an angry expression for the first time, "You actually used that master's card to fool me!"

"Why do you have such a meaningless card in your deck?!"

"Hehe, as we all know, the most famous card in the [Gaia] series is its [Dragon Knight] form. So why is it so surprising that this [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] appears in my 'Pure Dragon' deck?" Manjomu crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Not only is it level 8☆, it is also a dark attribute. It's really suitable! The power of [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] is really suitable for me!"

"Now, continue with your chain, you naturally evil [Mimic Illusionist]."

The special summon of [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] is linked to the effect of [Millennium Eyes]. So after [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] is special summoned by Manabu, it is naturally the turn of the effect of [Millennium Eyes].

However, although the effect of [Thousand-Year Eyes] can target monsters on the opponent's field or in the Graveyard, when [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] released [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] and sent it to the Graveyard, the effect of [Thousand-Year Eyes] was lost. After it gathered the golden light back into its body, it subconsciously clenched its claws, but it clearly caught nothing, empty.

The chain continues to be processed, and this time it is the turn of the effect of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness], but the effect of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness] that left the field can no longer be processed. Fortunately, it left the field, causing the effect target of [Imitator] to be lost, making it seem like the effect of [Imitator] was blocked, and the attack power and defense power remained unchanged.

【Imitation Fantasy】【DEF0】

Although the attack indication of a monster with 0 attack power looks very dangerous, Xie Wan is not worried at all that Manzhangmu will use it as a breakthrough point, because in addition to [Thousand-Year-Eyed Najima], his other monster - [Thousand-Eyed Najima] is also not a decoration.

"Even if I transform the [Light and Dark Dragon King] into the [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior], what can I do? As long as [Thousand Eyes Narrator] is on my field, all your monsters cannot attack and cannot change their positions."

Hearing Xie Wan's words, Wanzhangmu said nonchalantly: "But your monster will also be subject to this restriction, right? This effect is effective on both sides' monsters at the same time."

Xie Wan couldn't refute, so he could only snort coldly and look at the monsters on his field.

[Xie Wan: 2000 LP, hand 1 → 0]

【Imitation Fantasy】【DEF0】

[Thousand Eyes Najūma] (Mixed Dragon - Giant Whirlpool Ancestor God) [ATK 3000]

[Millennium Eyes] (Dragon of Darkness and Destruction) [ATK2600]

[Magician's Left Hand] [Magician's Right Hand]

Because of the effect of [Thousand Eyes Nazar], even if Xie Wan has two monsters with high attack power on the field, he cannot use them freely to attack. Among all the monsters on the field, only [Thousand Eyes Nazar] can attack. But it doesn't matter, at most he can wear it down little by little and still break through the opponent's defense.

[Extremely accurate: 4000LP, hand 4 → 3]

[Dark Knight-Gaia Warrior] [ATK2600]

[Dragon of Light and Sublimation] [DEF2100]

[Mirage of Nightmare] [Ruins of the Giant Dragon] [Cover] X3
Although Manjomu has three face-up cards on the backfield, even if there is a face-up card that can be activated by an attack declaration, such as [Explosive Armor], it will be useless because he has [Magician's Left Hand] on the backfield, which can forcibly invalidate the first Trap Card activated by the opponent in a round. The same is true for [Magician's Right Hand] which can be used to invalidate Magic Cards.

Although both of his cards have forced activation effects, some of them are traitors and cannot be accurately invalidated, but in Xie Wan's opinion, it is better than the opponent. In addition to the [Light and Dark Dragon King] that has been retired, the [Giant Dragon Ruins] in the back field of Wanzhangmu is also a "traitor", because -

"If I have 7☆/8☆ Dragon-Type monsters on my field and a monster is Special Summoned from outside the Graveyard, I forcefully activate the effect of [Giant Dragon's Ruins] and negate the effect of [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] on my field until the end of the turn."

Because of the existence of [Dragon King of Light and Darkness], Manjomu is actually somewhat accustomed to this subtle feeling of fighting himself. He sees that his newly appeared [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] is temporarily petrified and turned into a blank board with no effect - perhaps, this can also be regarded as a tribute to the most famous fusion monster of [Gaia], the blank fusion monster [Dragon Knight - Gaia] with the same attack power of 2600 points?

"Oh, what a great conspiracy drama! Let me show you something exciting - use this [Thousand-Eyed Najma]!" Xie Wan waved his hand, "Let's enter my battle phase! The attack power of [Thousand-Eyed Najma] equipped with [Mixed Source Dragon - Giant Whirlpool Ancestor God] is as high as 3000 points, which is equivalent to the legendary [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] - use it to crush the fake [Dark Knight - Gaia Warrior] on your field!"

"Fantasy: Origin Storm!"

By adding the prefix "Fantasy" before the name of the attack move of [Hybrid Dragon - Giant Whirlpool Ancestor God] "Origin Storm" and treating it as the name of the attack move of his own monster, Xie Wan actually restored Bekas's habit in this regard.

However, its monsters are just OCG versions that Hayato got from Pegasus, and he himself does not have the truly powerful mind-reading ability that Pegasus possesses.

Therefore, when [Magic Dragon - Giant Whirlpool Ancestor God] emerged from the open wings of [Thousand Eyes Najūma] and was forced to attack Manjomu, Manjomu also waved his hands proudly and said: "Then I will also activate the effect of the card by chaining the opponent's monster's attack declaration!"
