Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: The Flawed Era

"Malefic Cyber End Dragon, attack!"

The mechanical and metallic roar was accompanied by a jet-black thunderbolt spewing from the cyber dragon’s mouth. Plasmas surged with black flames, like an unstoppable flood, flipping the covered card and revealing its true form.

[Marshmallon, DEF 500]

"Jeez, such overpowered monsters right from the start?"

Moremarshmallon yelled.

"Who could possibly withstand this!?"

Of course, this wasn’t the "Moremarshmallon" Kira used against the Wicked Gods, the "Shining Sarcophagus" version, but the original Marshmallon that Yugi Muto used in Duel Monsters. Only now, the spirit inside the card was the same one as back then.

Just like Atem’s Dark Magician and Kaiba’s Blue-Eyes White Dragon, they’ve changed skins, upgraded, fused, and transformed into new forms, but no matter how many times they transform, they’re always the same spirit in different forms. Pile up all those versions, and you could make a whole deck, but it’s always the same spirit at heart.

Kira’s Marshmallon was the same. The original Marshmallon used by Yugi wasn’t rare by the GX era—many background characters in the anime used it. Since Kira now had the Marshmallon spirit, he just used the original version.

"Marshmallon can’t be destroyed by battle!"

Kira raised his arm, blocking the energy storm sweeping through Marshmallon’s tiny body.

"Hmph, but battle damage still counts," Paradox sneered, curling his lips in a dangerous smile.

"Malefic Cyber End Dragon retains Cyber End’s ability.

When attacking a defense position monster, if its attack exceeds the defense, the excess is dealt as piercing damage!"

Marshmallon only had 500 DEF, while Malefic Cyber End Dragon had a whopping 4000!

Even though Marshmallon is called an invincible shield, it only protects itself. Against piercing damage, the amount it can block is pitifully small. The terrifying energy strike pierced through Marshmallon and slammed into Kira.

Kira staggered back a few steps, his body almost toppled by the raging energy storm.

[Kira, LP 4000 → LP 500]

"Kira!"

In his earpiece, Mokuba couldn’t help but shout in concern.

A massive 3500-point hit in one blow. From the duel disk’s feedback, the damage seemed far beyond normal dueling levels—almost like the real damage of a Shadow Game!

Mokuba’s equipment quickly detected the anomaly. The source seemed to be the field spell "Malefic World," which was causing this extraordinary damage.

A field empowered by supernatural force!

And then there was Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

The moment Paradox summoned Malefic Blue-Eyes, Mokuba’s whole control room nearly exploded.

How could this guy possibly have a Blue-Eyes!?

Was it a fake card, like the ones Marik’s Rare Hunters used?

But they soon realized it wasn’t. Although Paradox was using "Malefic" versions of these monsters, the spirits summoned seemed to be real!

Even the Blue-Eyes spirit appeared genuine!

It was unbelievable.

Could it really be an alternate world—?

"I’m fine," Kira replied calmly.

He already knew Malefic World inflicted real damage on duelists, so he wasn’t surprised. This wasn’t quite like the traditional Shadow Games; Paradox was from the third series, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, which featured sci-fi villains instead of supernatural ones.
