Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1122

Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Distorted Memories

"David, I’ll be borrowing your will for now."

Kira played a card from his hand—one once used by the original owner of The Big Saturn, David Rabb.

He completely ignored the fact that he and David were never even close. If David ever found out his will and deck had been inherited by this guy, he’d probably be so enraged he’d come back to life.

"I activate the Spell Card ’Forced Activation’ from my hand!

This card can force any set card on the field to activate." (Manga Card)

Kira pointed at one of Akiza’s set cards.

"Let’s go with the set card on your left—force it to activate for me."

Akiza was stunned.

"You’re forcing my set card to activate!?"

The card flipped open—sure enough, it was the Plant-Type exclusive Trap "Wall of Thorns".

A Plant-Type monster’s defense Trap: when a Plant is attacked, it destroys all Attack Position monsters the opponent controls—basically a Plant-type "Mirror Force".

"Huh? It just happened to be Wall of Thorns? Lucky." Kira chuckled.

His setup was a classic combo, specially designed by David Raber for The Big Saturn: "Forced Activation" forces a set card to activate, then chain it with the Quick-Play Spell "Backfire" (Manga card), which changes any Spell/Trap effect into "destroy an opponent’s monster."

With this combo, the opponent’s forced Trap would end up destroying Kira’s own The Big Saturn. When The Big Saturn is destroyed, both players take damage equal to its ATK.

If handled correctly, this combo often made quick work of opponents in one turn.

But today, luck was on his side: Akiza’s set card really could destroy The Big Saturn anyway, saving Kira an extra card.

"A card force-activated in this way ignores all activation conditions." Kira smiled. "So with ’Wall of Thorns’, all of my Attack Position monsters are destroyed."

Akiza: "!?"

Is this guy crazy?

He spent so many resources just to wipe his own field!?

"The Big Saturn’s effect," Kira continued, "If destroyed by an opponent’s card effect, both players take damage equal to The Big Saturn’s ATK!"

Akiza: "!!"

The Big Saturn’s ATK was now 3800—

3800 damage instantly!

To both sides, no less!

Akiza glanced in shock:

Kira had 2700 LP left, while Akiza himself still had 4000. If they both took the damage, wouldn’t Kira self-destruct first?

"At this moment, I discard ’Hanewata’ from my hand." Kira declared,

"When discarded, all effect damage to me this turn becomes 0. This works even during the opponent’s turn."

Akiza: "!"

So only she would take the damage now!

"Explode, The Big Saturn!"

Kira raised his arm high.

"DOUBLE IMPACT!!!"

Boom!

The core in The Big Saturn’s chest turned deep crimson. Its rings shrieked like metal in agony, as the core imploded into a micro black hole, then exploded outward in a supernova. Fragments of the star, wrapped in searing flame, swept the entire field as radiating rings, even tearing the air itself.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Akiza was thrown skyward, her body suddenly light as a rose petal, reeling under a shock both physical and mental.

The immense pain faded, replaced by numbness, then her consciousness started to sink into darkness.

Falling, falling.

A drop to an unknown end.

Was this...the end?

It wouldn’t be surprising. After a combo like that, even with 200 LP left, in a duel where damage is real, a duelist’s body often fails before their life points hit zero.

As a psychic duelist unable to control her own strength, Akiza had met such opponents before—most couldn’t withstand the pain and would collapse before the duel ended.
