Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1039: Source of All Evil

Archlord Kristya—destroyed!

At this stage, Kristya finally exited the field. Seeing that troublesome card disappear, Paradox felt a weight lift from his heart.

[Kira, LP 13700 → 12500]

When Malefic Truth Dragon destroys a monster by battle, it can then destroy all other monsters the opponent controls, dealing 800 damage for each. A powerful field-wipe effect, though currently negated by Skill Drain and thus unusable.

Skill Drain is a double-edged sword—it restricts both players. But for a deck like Malefic, which focuses on overwhelming attack power, the advantages far outweigh the drawbacks.

Malefic Truth Dragon’s base ATK is 5000, on par with the Five-Headed Dragon—the upper limit for attack power in Yu-Gi-Oh! To exceed 5000 ATK requires card effects.

Under Skill Drain’s restriction, surpassing this base power is incredibly difficult.

"My turn is over. In the End Phase, Stardust Dragon, which was tributed by its own effect, returns to the field.

This time, in Defense Position."

[Stardust Dragon, DEF 2000]

Paradox said in a low voice, "I won’t lose. Not here, and especially not to someone like you!"

Kira raised his eyebrow. "What’s wrong with someone like me?"

"It’s because of people like you... that Duel Monsters, that this world’s future—"

Paradox cut himself off, realizing his emotions were getting out of control. He shook his head and huffed.

"Never mind. You don’t need to know. But for the world to become better, duelists like you are not needed!"

"Is that really so?"

Kira smiled.

"You just said that in the future you know, I don’t exist—yet the world was still destroyed, wasn’t it?"

Paradox paused, frowning.

"That is a doubt I’ll have to investigate. But duelists like you are definitely a cancer to the world."

"Is that right?" Kira replied calmly. "In my era, there are also duelists like Jaden Yuki. He always maintains his passion for dueling and the future.

If you claim my existence would destroy the future, why didn’t his influence lead humanity down the right path?

After all, as far as I know, your history doesn’t record me, but Jaden Yuki has always been active, right?"

Paradox was momentarily at a loss for words.

"The truth is, you’re just trying to escape the issue—blaming everything on us predecessors."

Kira shook his head.

"But maybe you don’t know—over ten thousand years ago, a shameless snake already prophesied it. As long as greed, jealousy, hatred, and all forms of darkness exist in the human heart, someday the world will be consumed by that darkness.

Even without the perpetual motion machine, something else would do it. So pinning the blame on us old-timers changes nothing; the future will always be doomed."

Paradox was shocked by his words.

Not because he agreed with Kira, nor that such simple words could change his mind, but because he realized just how much this man knew about the future. Far beyond what was normal.

How could a relic from the past know so much? Who is he?

But Paradox also knew that in a duel, one must never lose their momentum. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to calm down. "Enough talk. You’ll have to beat me in a duel first."

Kira smiled.

"That won’t be difficult."

Paradox: "!"

He’s already summoned Truth Dragon, and Skill Drain’s on the field. Does he really think he can OTK me?

"My turn. Draw."

Kira glanced at his hand, then spoke leisurely.

"Well, I hadn’t planned to use these guys’ power so soon—they’re still unstable.

But since you’re the bravest villain in history, you deserve to witness this. Consider it a special treat."

Paradox gritted his teeth.

What’s he talking about now? Why can’t I understand a word he’s saying?

"I activate the Spell Card ’Monster Reborn’! I’ll revive the card I discarded to the graveyard with ’Graceful Charity’ earlier."

Kira smiled.

"The god of destruction that devours everything, annihilates all, returning all to the void—

—The Wicked Eraser, descend!"

Paradox: "!!!"

The... the Wicked God!?

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, a jet-black lightning bolt landed, and a twisted form took shape in the arena, as if emerging from the abyss of hell!

[The Wicked Eraser, ATK ?]

Upon arrival, the Eraser lazily stretched, narrowing its eyes at Kira.

"You sure have guts, brat," it said coldly. "To dare command a god so casually."

"Some exercise is good for you old-timers, too," Kira replied with a smile.

"If you want to corrupt me, you’re welcome to try anytime. But before you succeed, get to work."
