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

"...Does this mean they don't care about resources at all?"

"..."

Soon, even Mai, a longtime friend, looked at Yuuki with some confusion. On the other hand, Yugi Muto, who, despite having entered the new era of Synchro, was considered by many to belong to the outdated world of Fusion, shook his head slightly, thanks to his strong understanding of cards:

"That's not it... I feel like what Yuuka wants is, I think, the quantity of XYZ materials..."

"Something extraordinary is about to make its appearance!"

...

As Xiao Biao's surprised and emotional voice rang out, the president and Yuki Jaden, who were present, almost simultaneously grasped Yufeng's thoughts, and their expressions instantly turned serious.

At this moment, Youfeng finally played the card he had drawn from the Extra Deck:

"So here we go! Reconstruct the XYZ network!"

"Feel the surging power of the Seven Emperors, the absolute defensive power within the supermassive—"

"【Chaos No. 102 Fallen Angel of Light - Noble Demon】!"

In an instant, a golden light, reconstructing the Xyz Network, illuminated the field, and the Hope series monsters on the Windfield were immediately replaced by a dark-colored monster, wielding a spear, resembling a fallen angel shrouded in darkness, accompanied by swirling vortexes of evil power.

【Chaos No. 102 Fallen Angel of Light - Noble Demon】

[Class: 5]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Angels]

[Attack power: 2900]

[Defense: 2400]

...

"In this way, the only monster card in Yuuki's field now has a full 5 XYZ materials..."

Amidst the sighs and exclamations of the crowd, Jonouchi, momentarily bewildered by the scene before him, remarked with a touch of melancholy:

"Is this guy, Youfeng, going to completely empty his Extra Deck?"

"Given this kid's personality... it seems entirely possible for him to do something so abstract..."

As Jonouchi Katsuya muttered his speculations, Yuuki immediately reached for the Duel Disk again and took out his Extra Deck once more.

In that instant, everyone who had been intently watching You Feng's duel was also momentarily stunned.

Even the president of the club, Yufeng's rival, frowned instantly:

"Again?!"

"...Synchronized storytelling is one thing...but Overload, you're going to do storytelling too?"

"Wind... no matter how you stack it, you can't get past my final act with the power of the White Dragon!"

...

Soon, amidst the president's almost defiant voice, Yufeng immediately smiled and shook his head:

"Then, I will perform one last Xyz Spell, and once this powerful monster card is summoned, you will have no chance of winning anymore—though you never would have."

Amidst Yu Feng's soft voice, the club president clenched his fists, but at this moment, facing a duelist of Yu Feng's caliber, he let out a cold snort and looked at Yu Feng without saying a word.

Meeting the scrutinizing gaze of the other party, Yufeng immediately drew the bright black exclusive [Xyz] monster card from his hand:

"Next, I will unleash the full power of the Seven Emperors. The cards I will perform in the Xyz Summon will be placed on top of any of the [CNo.] monsters from [CNo. 101] to [CNo. 107] on my field to perform an Xyz Summon."

"Therefore, I can directly stack it on top of [Chaos No. 102 Fallen Angel of Light - Noble Demon]—"

"Don't blink! This will be the last monster you see—"

"Reconstruct the hyperscalar network!"

"O War God who manifests chaos! Summon the wishes of those of us who have perished! Gather! The power of the Seven Emperors!"

"Tier 7! [Chaos XYZ - Hope Emperor - Alien]!"

In an instant, a surge of power swept over, seemingly from different supermassive forces, and simultaneously erupted upon the [Chaos No. 102 Fallen Angel of Light - Noble Demon] on the Wind Field.

Then, in the instant that this powerful card shone brightly and landed on top of the already thick deck of cards—

A being clad in red and blue armor, wielding a golden fork in its left hand and a red shield in its right, with black, serpentine tails extending from its head, instantly descended upon Yuufuji's main monster area, its attack power surging dramatically in that instant.

【Chaos XYZ - Hopeful Emperor - Alien Crystal Man】

[Race: Warrior]

[Attribute: light]

[Class: 7]

[Attack power: 0→6000]

[Defense: 0]

...

Upon seeing this card's attack power instantly surge to surpass all his ace monsters, President Seto Kaiba took a deep breath, his expression turning serious once more.

You Feng smiled slightly and pointed to the powerful 7th-tier monster that had just been summoned on the field, the [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man], which seemed to possess mysterious power:

"Based on this card's effect: This card's attack power increases by the number of XYZ materials this card contains × 1000."

"Furthermore, this card's owner can activate this effect by targeting 1 monster in their Graveyard with 'Number' in its name. Until your opponent's next End Phase, this card is treated as a card with the same name as the targeted monster, gaining the same powerful effect!"

"And in my graveyard, there happens to be a [No. 86 Hero Champion - Gun King Elimination] that was sent there as a cost!"

"In other words, I will soon have a [Gun King] with 6 materials, 7500 attack power, and no materials required as cost!"

Accompanied by Youfeng's powerful voice, he immediately pointed to the [No.86 Hero Champion - Destroy the Gun King] in his own graveyard.

The 120.6 material fake gun king [Chaos XYZ Hope Emperor Alien] is invincible!

Soon, everyone was stunned by Youfeng's confident voice. They looked at the [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man] on the field, whose information had changed due to the activation of its effect, and then looked at Youfeng with great confusion.

"What just happened..."

"Copy...copy the effect of cards in the graveyard?!"

Amidst the gasps of surprise from the crowd, even Yugi Muto, the first Yu-Gi-Oh!, widely regarded as a dueling genius, frowned in bewilderment at that moment:

"While this kind of card effect that copies the graveyard effect is extremely rare, it's still within the realm of possibility, but—"

"I didn't understand what Youfeng said about the effects afterward... but it seems like something terrible has happened!"

Accompanied by the same doubts expressed by Xiao Biao.

At this very moment, Youfeng, who was completing his operation on the dueling platform, quickly provided further details about the situation in the arena:

"Because the Gunner in my graveyard possesses the ability to be granted different effects based on the different material requirements—the number of Xyz materials this card holds grants it the following effect:"

“1个以上：这张卡不会被战斗破坏。2个以上：这张卡的攻击力·守备力上升1500。3个以上：这张卡不受这张卡以外的效果影响。4个以上：对方不能把怪兽召唤/特殊召唤。5个以上：1回合1次，可以把对方场上的卡全部破坏。”

As the wind whispered its ominous voice, a look of horror immediately spread across everyone's faces:

"If that's the case, if the materials reach level 4 or higher, then Senior Yufeng's [No. 86 Hero Champion - Annihilation Gun King] has a mode with all resistances and the ability to block summons... wouldn't it be able to perfectly defeat any opponent in any situation?"

Amidst the stunned shouts of the spectators, the "Jellyfish Head" boy, Jaden Yuki, seemed to immediately grasp the true power of the powerful card, [Gun King].

...

Upon seeing Jaden Yuki's enlightenment, Yuuka quickly smiled and nodded at the "jellyfish-headed" boy:

"Hmm, as expected of you, Judai..."

"Indeed, theoretically, as long as you have 4 materials, the [Gun King] can be invincible. However, while this card is powerful, it also has a forced effect that removes 1 Xyz Material from this card every time the opponent's End Phase is activated. The Gun King, with 3000 ATK but no finishing ability, will soon lose its most crucial ability to block Summon/Special Summon."

"Therefore, to achieve a completely certain victory in a match, you need 6 materials, which is not easy..."

As Yuuki's voice drifted in, his opponent, Club President Seto Kaiba, quickly focused his gaze on the powerful [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man] card in Yuuki's arena, which possessed an effect similar to [No. 86 Hero Champion - Destroyer Gun King].

"Hmm... 6 XYZ materials?"

After a near-desperate sigh, and while repeatedly assessing the situation on his field, club president Kaiba Raito quickly decided on his tactics in a split second:

"Hmph... Even so... my [Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon] will still take the fatal blow for me..."

"While your [Gun King] has sealed the summoning, it hasn't blocked the face-down defense position card-setting... As long as I can find a way to drag it out with backrow cards... once you drop down to 4 or fewer materials, I can seek the power to revive the mighty White Dragon in the graveyard!"

Soon, accompanied by the president's very firm voice, everyone was immediately impressed by this indomitable fighting spirit, and they all looked at the president with hopeful eyes, who remained confident in this almost desperate situation.

"This guy..."

Katsuya Jonouchi also let out a gasp, but the "jellyfish-headed" boy in the audience scratched his head with a troubled expression and couldn't help but complain:

"While you're absolutely right, president, you don't have any cards left at all!"

...

Seeing the president's face darken, Yu Feng smiled and shook his head.

"No, when playing cards with a duelist like the club president, you have to constantly be prepared for him to pull out all sorts of weird cards during the draw phase..."

"Forget about suddenly getting a [Heavenly Treasure Card], I could even accept being suddenly given an [XYZ Overlay Delay]..."

Soon, accompanied by Yuuki's slightly sarcastic voice, smiles instantly spread across the faces of the audience. However, Katsuya Jonouchi, the "blonde-haired" guy in the front row, immediately turned his gaze to Yugi Muto, who sported a "starfish head" hairstyle, beside him:

"While it's accurate, I feel like this statement is even more fitting for games!"

"After all... there are rumors circulating that Mr. Yugi Muto can print any cards he wants at will and without any restrictions..."

Just as Jonouchi Katsuya's gaze turned to Muto Yugi, the sexy blonde woman with curly hair, Mai Kujaku, on the other side also immediately looked at Jonouchi with disdain:

"You better be reliable..."
