Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 341 Infinite Loop

"What?" Du Shuqiang's expression changed drastically upon seeing the card. "Is it a monster that destroys the deck?"

"That's right." Because of the recent card draw, Du Shuqiang's deck has been significantly compressed, and it's very likely that it will be completely wiped out by the Undead deck—the Bone deck—which boasts a huge number of Special Summon opportunities.

Then Di Xing showed Du Shuqiang the spell card in his hand, "Dark World's Lure," saying, "If you activate this card after your deck is destroyed, you will lose the duel."

"Then let's begin. I'll set up the link marker with the Bone Princess and the Bone Knight of the Next Night. The summoning condition is 2 Undead monsters. Confirm with the arrow, Link Summon, Link 2, Vampire Eater!" (First Special Summon)

"Then the effect of the Bone Tower that absorbs essence is triggered. If a Zombie monster is successfully Special Summoned on the field, the top two cards of your opponent's Deck are sent to the Graveyard!"

"Then I activate the effect of Vampire Eater, Special Summoning the [Cube Man] from your Graveyard to your field as an Undead."

"At this moment, the effect of the Bone Tower that absorbs essence is triggered again, sending two cards from the top of your deck to the graveyard." (2nd Special Summon)

"What?! You can summon undead monsters on my field?!"

"It's not over yet. I'll send the Bone Lord from my hand to the graveyard, and from my deck, I'll send the same number of Bone cards from my graveyard to the graveyard. I have 13 Bone cards in my graveyard, so I'll send all 13 cards to the graveyard."

"I will resurrect the skeletons of the graveyard, except the skeletons of the graveyard." (3rd time)

"Set the link marker with the skeleton and the vampire eater. The summoning condition is two or more undead monsters. Confirm with the arrow, link summon, link 3, vampire charmer" (4th time).

"Activate the effect of Vampire Enchantress to Special Summon [Bone-Slaying Dice Ghoul Gang] from your Graveyard to my field!" (5th time)

"It's not over yet! I activate the effect of the Bone Prince in the graveyard, banishing him and a pair of bone couples from the graveyard, and Special Summon the Bone King from the Deck!" (6th time)

The White Bone King, the attacking force, descended onto the battlefield. Normally, it could kill two Du Shuqiangs with a single punch, but the truce order hovering in the center of the arena prevented it from unleashing its full power.

So, "I set up the link marker with the Bone King and the Ghoul Gang with the Bone Dice, confirm with the arrow, the summoning condition is 2 Undead monsters, link summon, link 2, Wandering Ghost Ship" (Water/Undead LINK2 ATK 0/DEF - ←→) (7th time)

The Bone Tower's effect of absorbing essence was repeatedly triggered, and 14 cards were sent to the graveyard like an avalanche. However, Du Shuqiang's deck was far from empty.

"Hahaha, isn't that strange? Why do I still have quite a few cards left in my deck? You think I didn't anticipate your move? I specifically adjusted my deck to 50 cards!"

"Did you deliberately thicken the deck? But wouldn't that make it harder for you to filter the draws?" Di Xing said calmly.

"As long as all the cards added are from the filter draw, it won't have much of an impact. Why are you so calm? I did this just to see your despairing expression. Do you still think there's any hope?"

"You've run out of ways to Special Summon Undead Monsters now, haven't you? You could summon two more Skeleton Kings from the last two Skeleton Princes in the Graveyard, but after that, you'd be stuck, right? Haha, admit it! You're finished!"

"Is that so? I activate the Spell Card [Monster Resurrection] to revive [Rescue Ferret] in my Graveyard." (EARTH/Beast Level 4 ATK 300/DEF 100)

"Then I return the Rescue Ferret to my Deck, and Special Summon monsters with a combined Level of 6 from my Deck to my Link Zones. The effects of the monsters Special Summoned by this effect are negated, and they are destroyed during the End Phase."

"I Special Summon a 3-star [Singing Zombie], a 2-star [Magic Cat], and a 1-star [Synthesizer]" (8th time)

"Heh, so what? It's just another undead monster summoned."

"Really? You're about to witness an amazing chain reaction," Di Xing turned to look at the girl with the side ponytail behind him. "You'd better watch out."

“我用3星的齐唱僵尸、2星的魔法猫和1星的调合支援士调星，3+2+1=6，同调召唤等级六，彼岸的诗人 维吉尔”（光属性/魔法师族 6星 攻2500/守1000）

"It's not an undead monster, why are you summoning it?"

Di Xing didn't answer, but continued, "When a Magic Cat is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material for a Spellcaster-Type Monster, you can return one Spell Card from the Graveyard to the top of your Deck. I placed the Spell Card 'Synchro Deactivate' from the Graveyard at the top of my Deck."

"Then when Synchro Supporter is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material, I can draw a card from my Deck, so I can draw the [Synchro Deactivate] card that I just put back."

"What!?"

"Then I activate Synchro Deactivation, returning Vergil to the Extra Deck, and then Special Summon all of its Synchro Materials from the Graveyard!"

Zombies, magic cats, and harmony supporters all revive simultaneously.

"Because Singing Zombie was Special Summoned, the effect of Bone Tower Absorbing Essence was triggered again, sending two cards from your Deck to the Graveyard. Then I Synchro Summoned Virgil the Poet of the Other Shore with Singing Zombie, Magical Cat, and Synchro Supporter!"

"Because it was sent to the graveyard as Synchro Material, the effects of Magical Cat and Synchro Supporter were triggered again. I put the Synchro Deactivation card from the graveyard back to the top of the deck, and then drew a card from my hand!"

"Wait, this! This!" Du Shuqiang panicked.

"Doesn't this create an infinite loop?" Opal exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn it! Infinite loops are not allowed in Yu-Gi-Oh!"

"No, if this cycle is benign, meaning it can be terminated by the player themselves, then this cycle is allowed to exist!" Then Di Xing turned to the girl with the side ponytail behind him, "This is called an infinite loop. Remember that."

"Mmm!" The girl nodded happily.

"No matter how many cards you have in your deck, it's useless now," Di Xing pointed at Du Shuqiang. "You're finished!"

The four characters—Zombie, Magic Cat, Synthesis Supporter, and Poet from the Other Shore—stand at the four corners of the field, with Synthesis Release positioned in the center. Together, they form a Möbius strip symbolizing infinity.

Du Shuqiang's cards began to cascade into the graveyard like a waterfall. "Damn it!!!" he roared angrily. However, with the arrival of a card in the graveyard, the endless loop came to an abrupt end.

The card flashed briefly in the graveyard before disappearing into another dimension; it was none other than—[Jackpot 7]!

"What?! You actually put that card in your deck?!" Di Xing exclaimed in shock.

When a 7 of Pot is sent to the Graveyard by an opponent's effect, it is banished from the game. If a player collects three 7s of Pot banished by this effect, their opponent wins the battle.

"Hahahaha!" Du Shuqiang covered his face and laughed wildly, then removed his hand, revealing a classic Malik facial expression.

"You think I wouldn't take precautions? I've staked a whole gold coin on this!"
