I'm a poker player, not a Yu-Gi-Oh!

"Hmph~ Lion Hopeley. He is indeed a powerful monster. But yes, he is no match for the Emperor after being sealed by the effect. Shhhhhhhhh..." The Penguin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and couldn't help it. Laughed out loud. Thanks to the information that Bain sacrificed himself to find out, he is well aware of the tactics of the Boost Knight!

"That's hard to say. Magic card, flash card draw, activate! Target the lion Hopley whose card name in the rules is [Chaos No. 39 Hope Emperor Hopley]. Select the card name from the deck and extra deck Any number of different [Heat Concentric Weapons] monsters can be used as equipment cards to equip the target monster.”

"I added the [Heat Concentric Weapon-Heavy Armored Dragon King Halberd] from the extra deck, as well as the [Heat Concentric Weapon-Desolate Eagle Claw], [Heat Concentric Weapon-Unicorn Imperial Spear], [Energy Concentric Weapon-Tian Sheng Hui Lang Sword], a total of 4 cards are used as equipment cards, equip the lion Hopley! Come on, all the monsters with different heat!"

Warrior ZEXAL, right hand raised high. The glow of hope turns into a door of light, leading to the unknown. The weapons transformed by the four monsters came from the other side, bringing new power to the young lion!

"However, the alien heat concentric weapons can only increase the attack power of the equipped monster when they become equipment cards by their own effects. Even if you use magic cards to force the lion Hopley to equip them, they are just useless trash. It's just iron!" Penguin, who had investigated the intelligence of all members of the Justice League in advance, said quickly, as if to cheer himself up.

"Even if the attack power cannot be increased, the effect of the Heterothermal Concentric Weapon as an equipment card can still be activated normally. I will finish you off this round, Penguin!" ZEXAL waved his hand and gave the order, "Enter the battle stage! Beast! Pretending to be a fused lion, Hope, attacks Sui Feng Bird × Emperor!"

"Ah, it's cold."

"It's cold."

"I touched it. I didn't cover it in the backcourt. Do you know how to play cards? Haha."

The three traveling birds cursed and left early, leaving only the innocent emperor to face the attack of the Lionheart King who was carrying countless weapons and riding a dragon king on his crotch.

"The effect of the Alien Heat Concentric Weapon - Unicorn Imperial Spear. When the monster equipped with this card battles with an opponent's monster, the effect of that opponent's monster is negated only during the battle phase. The Imperial Enterprise's attack and defense effects are halved. , it can only be activated during the 'damage calculation', it is invalid earlier!"

ZEXAL waved his hand, and the lion Hopley threw the spear in his hand towards the emperor. The spear was firmly nailed to the ground in front of Di Qi, and the dazzling light shone, negating its effect. After that, Lionheart’s attack followed——

"Sword of Hope—Lion Heart Slash!"

Amidst the roaring explosion, the Penguin's short and fat body was knocked to the ground by the impact: "Ouch... Huh, but this level of counterattack cannot clear my LP! Next round, I will ask for it with the profits. Come back!”

【Penguin LP: 8000→5700】

"No, there is no next turn. The effect of the Heterothermal Concentric Weapon - Heavy Weapon Dragon King Halberd is activated! It can only be activated when the equipped monster destroys the monster in battle. Select any number of [Extrathermal Concentric Weapon] monster cards equipped to the equipped monster to be special. Summon. Special summon the three monsters: The Wild Eagle Claw, the Unicorn Royal Spear, and the Heavenly Holy Wolf Sword!"

ZEXAL made a fist with his right hand and said loudly.

Under the lion Hopley's crotch, the red dragon king let out a shocking roar. Under the command of the Dragon King, all three monsters carried by the lion Hopley changed from weapons to their original forms and landed in the monster area of ​​ZEXAL, ready to go.

Now is the combat stage, and they can also attack!

[Extrathermal Concentric Weapon-Desolate Eagle Stimulating Divine Claw] [Effect]

[Race: Birds and Beasts] [Lv5] [Attribute: Wind]

【ATK：2000】【DEF:1200】

[Extrathermal Concentric Weapon-Unicorn Royal Spear] [Effect]

[Race: Beast] [Lv4] [Attribute: Light]

【ATK：1900】【DEF:0】

[Weapons with different heat and concentricity-Tian Sheng Hui Lang Sword] [Effect]

[Race: Beast] [Lv4] [Attribute: Light]

【ATK：1800】【DEF:1100】

2000+1900+1800=5700! Exactly, it's the value of Penguin's remaining LP!

"...Huh, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead..." Penguin sighed, put down the duel plate, took out a cigar and lit it for himself. The hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"Really... if I build the Town of Dreams... Huh, forget it. As a super criminal now, I have no position to say such a thing. Come on, hero. Give me the final blow - -But our leader, Nidhogg, his ambition will definitely drag you into the abyss of despair——"

"My monsters, attack Penguin directly!"

As ZEXAL's final order was issued, the monsters with different heat and concentric weapons swarmed forward and submerged the Penguin's deformed body. The Penguin, who was being brutally beaten, not only did not scream in pain, but instead let out a wild and strange laugh.

“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

【Penguin LP: 5700→0】

[Winner: ZEXAL (Knight with extra strength)]

…

"Vector, are you okay?" After the Penguin was knocked down, Yuma and the Astral Body separated from the ZEXAL state into two different individuals. After tying up the unconscious Penguin. At this moment, Yuma is trying to remove the restraints on Vector, while asking about his situation with concern.

"Oh, oh... I'm fine..." Vector quickly turned his head to the side, his cheeks flushed. Close, too close!

Yuma was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, just thinking that it was a psychological shadow of homosexuality after suffering that kind of thing. So he just said: "Well, that's good." Then he lowered his head and silently helped Vector untie the rope.

The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Yuma had a lot of questions in his mind, such as Vector was originally a member of the Seven Emperors, and why the five people of the Seven Emperors were killed by the Penguin. But now doesn't seem to be a good time to ask these questions. After untying Vector, Yuma immediately tried to untie the chains on the other four emperors.

"Hey, no need to bother!" After regaining his freedom, Vector walked to the Penguin Man and stomped hard on his chest. There was a sound of mechanical breaking. Then, as if a switch was released, the four emperors who were bound burst out with powerful red energy, breaking all the chains.

"Huh, I finally got out of this damn bondage. I will remember this feeling of powerlessness in my heart." Arit moved his limbs and looked at the unconscious Penguin Man with a ferocious smile.

"Then next, let the self-righteous bastard pay a price."

Hearing this, Vector, Drube, Jiragu and Mizael also looked at the Penguin Man on the ground at the same time, with fierce light flashing in their eyes.

The proud Seven Emperors of Barian were actually wiped out by a mere human... This kind of great shame can't be treated as if nothing happened!

Vector, who was humiliated the most, took the brunt and took the first step. However, Yuma opened his arms and stood in front of Vector, his eyes clear: "You can't do this, Vector. Apart from the law, no one has the right to punish Penguin. If you lynch him, you are not worthy of being called a hero!"

——Who is this shitty hero? Everything is just part of the plan to collect No. cards. Use the power of Black Manta to defeat Nidhogg, and then provoke the conflict between Black Manta and Hoshimi Hitomi. When the two sides are in a stalemate, kill everyone in one pot. This is the clever plan of the evil military strategist Vector!

Drube, Jirag, Arit and Mizael watched coldly, ready to see Vector vent all his anger on the Knight of the Power who couldn't read the air.

"………………" Vector raised his head in silence, and there seemed to be a dark flame burning in his eyes. He stared at Yuma's eyes, just looking at him, without saying a word.

And Yuma was not afraid at all, his eyes were still clear, and he just stared at Vector.

For a long time.

"...Ah, that's right. A hero can't resort to lynching!" Vector said with a big smile.

"...Yeah, that's what I meant!" Yuma breathed a sigh of relief and smiled back.

So, Yuma hung the Penguin on the drone and sent him to the "prison" in the suburbs. His mission as a chess piece of Hoshimi Hitomi ended here. If nothing unexpected happens, he will spend the rest of his life in mental disorder until he dies of old age in a dark and damp mental hospital.

When Yuma contacted the Oracle for the next instruction, Drube quietly walked to Vector's side and whispered: "Why give in to that boy? You also suffered a lot under the hands of that deformed man, right?"

Vector snorted coldly and looked at Yuma's back, with unusual emotions brewing in his eyes: "Even if we defeat Nidhogg, we still have to stay in the Justice League for a while. One or two easy-to-use chess pieces are still necessary-especially this guy with strong limbs and simple minds. It's simply the best thugs."

"Go for it Knight and Astral Superman, right? Chess pieces with such high value are rare. Let me use them until I die."

"..." Drube was silent slightly. It was indeed a villain's speech with Vector's characteristics, but for some reason, Drube always felt that there was some deep meaning hidden in it. What is it? Pegasus's knights, I don't know yet.

At this moment.

"Hmm, hum hum hum hum..." Nidhogg's iconic voice resounded throughout the Heart Garden City.

"Listen up, lower creatures. This is a matter of life and death for all of you. I won't repeat it a second time."

…

————————————————————————————————————————

A belated request for leave: I didn't take a break because it was a duel, but I still have to slack off for a day during the Mid-Autumn Festival. So I'll slack off tomorrow!

Chapter 175 48 Roll Up the Force (Sad)

Time returns to the present. The entire Xinyuan City, no, the entire world, has heard Nidhogg's declaration of annihilation.

At first, everyone's reaction was disbelief. Normally, when a madman says that he holds a super killer weapon that can destroy the world, the first reaction of normal people is definitely disbelief.

But then, as if the fear that even the bone marrow is about to freeze pressed their hearts. Nidhogg is indeed a madman, but... he is not an ordinary madman, but a peerless madman who has never been seen before and will never be seen again.

If this madman really has a weapon that can destroy the world, then...

For a moment, the phone in the lobby of the Justice League was bombarded by presidents and capital tycoons from various countries.

"Block." Hoshimi Hitomi said lightly.

"...Is this okay? They are our sponsors, right?" Li Xu hesitated.

"Not the sponsors, but the tools." Hoshimi Hitomi emphasized. He did not use the power of brainwashing to manipulate those dignitaries. At this point, these vulgar people with their heads full of debauchery are no longer worth his effort. If you don't like it, the super criminal will come to your house immediately.

"...Okay." Li Xu shrugged helplessly and tapped on the virtual screen. In an instant, all the communication requests that came one after another fell silent.

Hoshimi Hitomi crossed her arms and said, "Can you locate Nidhogg?"

Riho's fingers flew across the virtual screen like a dragonfly: "I'm doing it. Although I'm very reluctant, he has no intention of hiding it, so even a rookie like me can do this."

As she spoke, Riho's tone inevitably carried a hint of self-mockery and self-abandonment. For five years, she has always regarded Nidhogg as her nemesis, and she has always wanted to defeat him in hacking technology. But unfortunately, to this day, Nidhogg's technology is still bottomless in Riho's eyes. The gap between the two is like a natural moat.

"Don't belittle yourself, Riho." Hoshimi Hitomi comforted her softly, "Your technology is still beyond 99% of the people in this world."

It's just a little distance from the Fire Dragon (fingertip universe). This is also inevitable. The Fire Dragon is a resident of the computer world, and Riho is fighting against the Fire Dragon through a medium. The input speed and reaction speed of the two are completely on a different level. This is an extremely unfair battle.

"... Let's not talk about my business." Li Xu shook her head, as if to get rid of all the regrets and annoyances in her mind. She is not that fragile. If she is not good at hacking technology, she will start from physics and will definitely destroy Nidhogg completely!

"This is a very obvious provocation. Do you want to go?"

"Of course. Nidhogg is so proud that he disdains to lie. He said he wanted to destroy the world, so he must have that kind of huge power in his hands. I can't let that kind of power destroy everything we cherish." As she said, Xing Jiantong turned and walked out of the Hall of Justice, her black cloak fluttering.

"And... I am also tired of the endless cat and mouse game with Nidhogg. Take this opportunity to completely destroy Nidhogg and his evil ambitions!"

In front of the door of the Hall of Justice, Xing Jiantong's footsteps paused slightly. He turned his head, glanced at Li Xu who was still busy, and opened his mouth to say something.

But in the end, he couldn't say anything, just sighed softly.

"Li Xu."

"Hmm?"

"Let's have barbecue tonight!"

"...Hmm!"

...

The center of Xinyuan City is Xinyuan. And the center of Xinyuan is a duel hall where duel competitions are held on weekdays. At this moment, the ground shook slightly, and it became more and more intense as time went by.

In the end, it was as if the giant who had been sleeping underground since ancient times had awakened. The huge tower rose from the ground, pierced the ground, pierced the top of the duel hall, and rushed straight into the sky!

All the amusement facilities in Xinyuan collapsed under the impact. Standing on the ruins of the park is a dark tower that is as ominous as a demon king. At the top of the tower, the dark evil dragon and the demon king who wants to destroy the world look down on the world!

"Well, that's--" Yuma, the knight in the distance, stared at the tower rising from the ground in amazement, and said in surprise, "Is there something like that hidden under the ground of Xinyuan!?"
