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

"Good heavens... I can understand synergizing with a White Dragon... but what on earth is wrong with your R8?! Don't tell me it's a Dragon Slayer..."

After a slight, helpless complaint, Youfeng immediately drew a pre-prepared deck from the card box at his waist and shuffled it into his silver-white duel disk:

"Then I'll just use the powerful Hope—I'll soar into the sky!"

...

In that instant, Seto Kaiba casually pulled a coin bearing the KC Kaiba Corporation logo from his pocket, tossed it high into the air, and the two simultaneously declared their duel commencement:

"DUEL!!!"

"DUEL!!!"

After each of them drew five initial cards, President Seto Kaiba almost burst out laughing when he saw the images of his hand:

"Hmph... Youfeng, now I will unleash the whip of absolute defeat upon you!"

117, One-Sword Bro, Chaos Extreme Dragon + Blue-Eyes Elf Dragon + Mysterious R8, are you cheating, Boss?

Soon, at the commanding voice of Kaiba Corporation president, everyone was slightly startled:

"In that case... it seems that President Kaiba has made ample preparations and is determined to achieve an absolute victory over Yuuka-senpai!"

Along with Jaden Yuki's amazing reputation, everyone nodded in agreement.

Even though Katsuya Jonouchi had just been criticized by Kaiba's president, he still nodded helplessly at this moment:

"Hmph... Although I hate to admit it, Kaiba has indeed improved tremendously since that tournament..."

"...The power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon reached its peak in his hands."

Soon, accompanied by Katsuya Jonouchi's soft voice, Yugi Muto beside him quickly expressed his agreement:

"Hmm... that's right... Kaiba-kun, he's surpassed himself time and time again... and now I hear he's even introducing more special summoning powers into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck."

"It's been a long time since I last played cards with Kaiba-kun, and his current strength is truly something to look forward to!"

Amidst the conversation between "Blonde Hair" Cheng Nei and "Starfish Head" Muto Yugi, the sexy woman, Peacock Mai, who seemed to have been separated from the group for quite some time, nodded thoughtfully.

"Hmm...Is that so...? Although we haven't been very active on the dueling stage lately...everyone, including Yuuka, has improved a lot..."

...

Soon, amidst the excited and expectant gazes of everyone, and based on the results of the head-to-head competition, President Kaiba immediately chose to begin the duel with himself going first:

"Then I will show no mercy, Youfeng!"

"This duel... I've been preparing for it for a long time!"

Accompanied by the president's deep voice, Yue immediately selected a [Normal Effect] card from his hand and played it directly onto the dueling platform in the very center of the dueling arena that belonged exclusively to [Obelisk-Blue].

In an instant, a silver-armored warrior who seemed to possess the blood of a mage was playing the dragon-headed guitar of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon version, and at that moment, a loud and exciting musical sound suddenly rang out in the arena.

The president, Seto Kaiba, who initiated the move, immediately selected a mysterious Level 1 monster card from his remaining hand as cost and sent it to the graveyard:

"Based on the effect of this card: I can discard 1 card from my hand and add up to 2 Dragon monsters with 3000 or more ATK and 2500 or less DEF from my Deck to my hand."

"Therefore—at this very moment, I will retrieve two of my most loyal servants from my deck!"

Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, Seto Kaiba, dressed in a stylish white trench coat, reached for his Duel Disk and drew out his main deck, performing a search.

Those two 8-star cards, representing the loyal servants of the president's soul and even his spirit—the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and its subspecies Blue-Eyes Subspecies White Dragon—were also added directly to the president's hand after being shown to everyone.

...

This opening move instantly stirred up all the emotions of the spectators present:

"Hmm... to start with two core level 8 monster cards, [White Dragon]... President, isn't that a bit too much of a stunt?"

"I suddenly felt a surge of excitement!"

"It seems this duel is inevitably going to escalate to its most intense phase!"

Soon, amidst the excited and enthusiastic exclamations of the crowd, only the "jellyfish-headed" boy, Jaden Yuki, sitting in the spectator stands behind Katsuya Jonouchi, glanced suspiciously at the monster card in the president's graveyard at the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to the president's search action:

"Wait... what card did the club president just throw into the graveyard?!"

...

At the same time, accompanied by Jaden Yuki's surprised voice, and the moment Yuuki, who was fighting Seto Kaiba on the field, frowned slightly, a beam of light, signifying the time, lit up in Seto Kaiba's graveyard.

"Humph~"

The arrogant club president immediately let out a cold snort:

"Since the effect of the [Dragon Egg] I just sent to the Graveyard—[Legendary White Stone]—has no restrictions, it can still activate even if it's sent to the Graveyard by cost: If this card is sent to the Graveyard, activate this effect. Add 1 [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] from your Deck to your hand!"

Soon, accompanied by the president's powerful and rugged voice, he immediately pointed to his graveyard. In an instant, as the aura of the dragon filled the field and the light shone brightly, he immediately opened his main deck and drew another Level 8 Blue-Eyes White Dragon, adding it to his hand.

This is accompanied by the addition of three [Blue-Eyes White Dragon/Alien White Dragon] cards to the hand in a single turn through effect search.

Then, the president opened another card from his hand, the Pot of Greed, which is the most beloved card of the main characters in both the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX and Yu-Gi-Oh! DM timelines, and drew two mysterious cards in a row.

You Feng's face also darkened instantly:

"Wow, I'm making cards like crazy..."

"President, aren't you going a bit too far with your 'soul'?!"

As Yuuki Kaze's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) echoed, Joeyū Katsuya, sitting in the front row of the audience, immediately raised his fist in protest:

"Where's the referee? I'm reporting this guy! He definitely didn't shuffle the cards, absolutely not!"

Amidst Katsuya Jonouchi's excited voice, Yugi Muto, who was relatively calm beside him, smiled and placed a hand on Jonouchi's shoulder, who looked "eager to try."

"Calm down, Orange Juice-kun. If Kaiba-kun really didn't shuffle the deck, it's highly likely that there are three [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] cards stuck together with [Fusion]..."

"It doesn't have to be this complicated..."

...

As the voice of the first Duel King accompanied this, Seto Kaiba, who had been standing with his arms crossed, coldly watching Jonouchi, suddenly frowned, raised his head arrogantly, and spoke with a hint of disdain:

"Hmph, this is the bond between me and my powerful deck. Someone as mortal as you can't possibly comprehend this kind of power!"

As soon as the president's deep voice rang out, Jonouchi seemed to have been struck on a sore spot, and instantly clenched his fists in anger.

At this moment, Youfeng would shake his head helplessly:

"If the president is going to follow his personality, he'll probably start with manual fusion, right? But—at this moment, it should be the ultimate dragon that has evolved again, the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, right?"

"..."

But in that very instant, just as You Feng was slightly stroking his chin with a touch of emotion, the club president opposite him also shook his head and smiled:

"Humph..."

"Wandering Wind! Although the True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is indeed my trump card, at this moment, I will do what you did before, giving the Blue-Eyes White Dragon deck new power, thus ushering in a new era!"

"So first of all—"

Seto Kaiba also directly played a Level 1, 1-star monster card:

"I will directly use a surface attack to represent the loyal guardian of this white dragon that is usually summoned—[Blue-Eyes Protector]!"

Soon, a beam of light flashed across the silver-white metal dueling arena, and one after another, strong guardians wielding swords appeared, immediately assuming a defensive stance.

【Green Eyes Protector】

[Race: Magician]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 1]

[Attack power: 800]

[Defense: 1300]

"Then, based on the card's effect upon appearance—"

After unexpectedly playing this non-Dragon monster card, the president drew another Level 1 monster card from his hand:

"When this card is successfully summoned, you can activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Level 1 LIGHT Tuner from your hand. Then, I Special Summon 1 of my Blue-Eyes White Dragon's spirit form—Blue-Eyes Girl—in face-up Attack Position!"

As the president once again selected and threw this card from his hand into the main monster zone in the front row, a bluish-white light instantly flashed beside the Blue-Eyes Guardian on the field. Ah, a very special monster card immediately flashed.

A beautiful girl with long, waist-length hair and heterochromatic eyes also descended instantly, bringing a wondrous elven power to the entire arena:

【Blue Eyed Girl】

[Race: Magician]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 1]

[Attack power: 0]

[Defense: 0]

...

At that moment, seeing the president play two Level 1 LIGHT Spellcaster-Type [Tuner] monster cards from his hand almost consecutively, Yufeng's brow furrowed slightly:

"...I seem to have a bad feeling about this..."

Then, just as Yuuki was slightly taken aback, the club president, Seto Kaiba, with a smug smile, immediately pointed to the first [Blue-Eyes Guardian] to appear on the field and activated its effect:

"Then, I activate the second effect of this Blue-Eyes Protector: You can target 1 Effect Monster you control. Send that monster to the Graveyard and Special Summon 1 Blue-Eyes Monster from your hand."

"I choose the Blue-Eyes Girl on the field as the target of the effect."

In an instant, as the president's Blue-Eyes Protector on the field lit up and activated its effect, almost simultaneously, the Blue-Eyes Girl, the target of the attack, also lit up and activated its effect.

In that split second, the president pointed his finger at the [White Dragon] series monster card in its girl form again, and unexpectedly activated its effect:

"In that instant, I can chain-activate the effect of my Blue-Eyes Maiden: When this face-up card on the field becomes the target of an effect, you can activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Blue-Eyes White Dragon from your hand/Deck/Graveyard."

"Therefore, I can summon two Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my hand and two in my deck at the same time!"

"If that is endless darkness, then let it be all darkness!"

"Come with me!"

"Brueyes White Dragon!!!"
