I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

"I will now activate the effect of this [E-HERO Sky Warrior]: When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can activate 1 of the following effects: 1. Destroy Spell/Trap Cards on the field up to the number of [HERO] monsters you control other than this card. 2. Add 1 [HERO] monster from your Deck to your hand!"

As the effect of this well-known classic card took effect, Edward smiled and looked at Youfeng's back row, slowly saying:

"While this Sky Warrior card does indeed possess the ability to eliminate your back row, — compared to using search to create powerful combos, that approach doesn't fit my dueling style!"

Soon, accompanied by Edward's deep voice, Youfeng immediately responded with a smile and a nod:

"Hmm... indeed, compared to a stable development point... the card-destroying effect of [Sky Hero] isn't used very often..."

At that moment, Youfeng seemed to agree in a low voice, and his finger immediately reached towards his back row, flipping over a card:

"And your choice at this moment is absolutely correct, because my back row face-down card also has the resistance to be destroyed by the opponent's effect once per turn - now I will open this [Continuous Trap] card [Void Machine]."

In an instant, a golden light burst forth, gradually shrinking into a radiant ring. In the very center of the ring, a faint, purplish-red power, seemingly capable of piercing through everything, appeared.

...

"At this moment, I will activate this effect based on the effect of this [Continuous Trap] card: You can discard 1 Level 10 monster from your hand. Draw 1 card from your Deck."

Soon, Yu Feng threw a corresponding monster card from his hand into the graveyard, and then drew a new card from his deck.

Edward's extremely serious expression softened slightly at this point...

In that instant, the crowd, realizing what had happened, exclaimed in astonishment:

"...Is the effect of this mysterious power that returns to the origins of everything simply as simple as drawing cards?"

Just as Jaden and the others frowned in slight confusion, Edward, still on guard, once again scanned the other cards hidden face down in the back of the field.

But soon, meeting Edward's questioning gaze, Yufeng, who possessed the Time Point, immediately nodded and revealed another card from his back row face-down deck:

"Then, based on the effect, I can send the [Void Mech] on the field to the graveyard, and activate another [Continuous Trap] card lurking in the back row—[Infinite Mech]!"

In an instant, a scene appeared, depicting two golden rings radiating a faint yellow power that seemed capable of distorting the surrounding spacetime. The two rings connected to each other, even forming a symbol "∞" that represents "infinity"!

...

"This is... an advanced form of that primordial power?!"

"This sense of power... I feel as if the surrounding spacetime itself is being distorted..."

As this truly awe-inspiring situation unfolded, everyone stared in disbelief at the twin circles rising on the shore beside the [Osiris-Red] dormitory. Under this eerie and boundless power, they momentarily glimpsed either their past or a fleeting glimpse of their still unclear future.

The most shocked of all was Ed Phoenix, who had come under orders from his friend Saiou Takuma. At this moment, even he, who almost firmly believed in Saiou Takuma's ability to foresee fate, saw his own despair in this sense of control over time, and shook his head with a pained expression.

"Impossible... You Feng, you actually possess the ability to interfere with fate..."

Amidst Edward's disbelief, Youfeng calmly shook his head. After opening the [Continuous Trap] card, he didn't rush to activate its effect. Instead, to everyone's astonishment, he reached for another face-down card in the back row and activated its effect as well.

"Then, because I have [Infinite Mech] on the field, displayed face-up..."

"Then, based on the same effect, I will immediately send it to the graveyard, and then activate the further form of the last face-down card in the back row—[Infinite Mech]: the [Continuous Trap] card [Infinite Light]!"

As Youfeng's nimble fingers once again opened the last card face-down on the field, a ring exactly the same as the one that had been formed by the double "∞" circle of [Infinite Machine] slowly rose up on the field. Under the intervention of the power, this golden ring, which was radiating a continuous stream of power, immediately interacted with the two existing rings and finally formed a new and more stable triangular structure.

The faint power at the very center of the ring instantly transformed into the three primary colors of light: red, green, and blue. In that instant, a dazzling array of colors shone brightly!

...

"This beam of light... seems to conceal some extremely powerful force, as if it's about to surge forth..."

Soon, amidst the shocked and awestruck expression of Manjoujun, Judai Yuki, with a serious face, also nodded quickly:

"Hmm... those three rings seem to be constantly increasing in power... climbing higher and higher... each one intricately linked to the next..."

After Yuki Jaden rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought, he immediately and quite "boldly" made a deduction about the direction of the power evolution that Yuuki had recorded:

"Next, the four rings... um?!"

After a moment's hesitation, Jaden Yuki gently shook his head:

"I can't connect it at all...but—"

As the "jellyfish-headed" boy's tone shifted, everyone present instantly turned their attention to Yuki Jaden.

At that moment, even Yuuki looked at Yuuki Jaden with great interest:

"Well..."

Seeing the sudden questioning gazes from everyone, Jaden Yuki nodded solemnly, then said seriously:

"If it's five rings... I guess... it's very likely that they contain the power of the Olympic gods—the Olympic rings!"

Asuka Tenjōin: Pfft...

Wan Zhangmu: ?! You bad student... Can't you be a little more serious in a situation like this?

Ed Phoenix: ...

...

Then, Youfeng finally nodded helplessly:

"Jūdai's imagination is undeniably abundant..."

In that brief moment of slight relaxation, Edward shook his head, turning his gaze back to Youfeng. He stared intently at the remaining three-ring [Continuous Trap] card in Youfeng's back row after its consecutive activations. He immediately clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and looked intently at Youfeng:

"Senior Yuuki... three consecutive [Continuous Trap] cards with continuously improving forms..."

"Do these things during my turn..."

"What exactly are your plans?!"

"..."

At that moment, as Edward's questioning voice suddenly rang out, Youfeng immediately nodded and said with a smile:

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, Edward!"

As the wind whispered softly, his fingers once again reached for his silver-white duel disk, taking out his deck and graveyard resources:

"At this moment, I have completed all the preliminary preparations for mechanical ascension. So write this down, and I will officially accelerate during your turn!"

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng's powerful voice, he pointed directly at the "Three Rings" card in the arena and activated its effect:

"Once per turn, if you control no monsters, you can Special Summon up to 1 different Time Machine God monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard, ignoring its Summoning conditions."

"So—I can now perform three consecutive 'deus ex machina's'!"

As the wind whispered, the three rings representing all the brilliance of the world immediately lit up and activated their effect. The wind then immediately played the [Time Machine God] monster from its graveyard, which had been sent to the graveyard by its own activation, along with another [Time Machine God] monster from its hand, into its main monster zone in the front row. After opening its deck and searching, it selected another [Time Machine God] that met the requirements and played it into its main monster zone as well.

"Then, I will Special Summon 1 Time Machine God [Sandaien] from my hand, which is fused with the power of the Kingdom on the Kabbalah Tree of Life and represents the Earth!"

In an instant, as the Level 10 Machine-Type monster that Yuufu played from his hand resounded across the field with a powerful rhythm, a beam of time immediately distorted the empty duel arena in front of Yuufu. Then, a golden mechanical body, with a faint yellow power forming a cross at its center, revealed an angry human face, which immediately descended in the form of a time-machine voice.

【Time Machine God - Sandaien】

[Attribute: light]

【Level: 10】

[Race: Angel]

[Attack power: 4000]

[Defense: 4000]

"And even those in the graveyard that are not subject to the [Resurrection Restriction] due to the inability to be Special Summoned were Special Summoned by my [Three Rings], ignoring the Summoning conditions—"

"Appear! Archangel at the center of the Tree of Life—[Time Machine God-Mitchin]!"

In an instant, as the card that returned from the graveyard to the field flashed, a time machine monster, similar in form to the first one to appear on the field, [Time Machine God - Sandaion], appeared with an excited human face on its chest within red armor, and also in a mysterious form with three pairs of golden wings on its body:

【Time Machine God - Michon】

[Attribute: Fire]

【Level: 10】

[Race: Angel]

[Attack power: 0]

[Defense: 0]

"Write it down. It's the ultimate form of [Time Machine God] retrieved from the deck—the supreme divine creation form: [Ultimate Time Machine God - Sephiron]!"

In an instant, accompanied by the resounding mechanical voice and the powerful sense of time distortion, the pale purple body representing the ultimate secret of the [Time Machine God] series, with a green human face embedded in its mechanical form, and its back adorned with golden, mysterious symbols resembling eerie symbols, unfurled with radiant divine power, made its third appearance as the effect of Yuufu's [Infinite Light]:

[Congratulations, host, on successfully obtaining the 10-star Light Attribute Time Machine God Ultimate Monster—Ultimate Time Machine God - Sephiron!]

Ultimate Time Machine God - Sephiron

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 10]

[Race: Angel]

[Attack power: 4000]

[Defense: 4000]

...

"Three [Time Machine God] cards appear in a row in one turn, or even during the opponent's turn?!"

And soon, amidst the incredulous gazes of everyone, Jaden Yuki, the "Jellyfish Head" boy who was most sensitive to the power of cards, quickly took a deep breath upon seeing the three [Time Machine God] cards that shared a consistent form and sense of power:

"Um..."

"10 stars, 4000 attack power, god-tier attributes..."

"...Senior Yuuka's deck this time reminds me of the power of Kamida..."

Soon, under the deep voice of Judai Yuki, everyone nodded, their eyes flashing with awe at this unknown divine power.

...

At that moment, witnessing the continuous summoning following the activation of the [Continuous Trap] card effects in the back row by Youfeng, Ed Phoenix murmured to himself:

"...The God of Time and Machinery? That certainly aligns with your path of [Mechanical Ascension], Senior Youfeng..."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Edward slowly organized his hand, seemingly refining his combo strategy. A moment later, he drew a faint green magic card and played it onto the field.

"Then, given the [Time Machine] power that Senior Yuuka has demonstrated in intervening in fate... I cannot help but respond—"

"I will immediately activate a Normal Spell Card from my hand—[Fusion Fate]!"
