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

"There are even rumors circulating that you're a gambling monster who can control the dice at will..."

Accompanied by Mai's merciless吐槽 (tu cao, a form of sarcastic commentary), Jonouchi was momentarily stunned, then burst into loud laughter:

"Hahaha~ Gambling Freak! I like this nickname!"

Instantly, Kong Que Wu covered her face with a helpless expression:

"Damn it, this guy isn't ashamed at all, he's actually proud of it..."

...

As Jonouchi laughed loudly, the tense atmosphere in the arena, which had been due to the appearance of the card with unparalleled and overwhelming power, eased slightly.

Then, Youfeng immediately pointed his finger at the [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man] in the arena, and as everyone expected, it activated its effect directly:

"Then, I will immediately activate the effect of [No. 86 Hero Champion - Destroy the Gun King]: Once per turn, you can destroy all cards on your opponent's field."

In an instant, as the [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man] wielding a "Golden Harpoon" and a "Red Shield" shone brightly on the field and activated its effect, Seto Kaiba's monsters on the field were instantly sent to the Graveyard.

Due to its strong resistance, the Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon in Seto Kaiba's field was able to survive and remain in the field.

With an attack power of 4000, it still stands like a god, becoming the ultimate force of the Blue-Eyes deck and dominating Seto Kaiba's main monster zone in the front row.

Then, Youfeng immediately entered the battle phase:

"Now, I will directly utilize the effect of [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal]'s own attack boost based on XYZ materials, as well as the effect granted by [No.86 Hero Champion-Kill Gun King]. At this moment, the attack power of my [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal] has reached 7500 points!"

"Now, I will immediately launch an attack on your Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon!"

In an instant, following Youfeng's attack command, [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man] raised his "Golden Harpoon" high:

"Earth Chariot Slash!"

With a sharp slash, Seto Kaiba's absolute pride on the field was instantly shattered and sent to the graveyard. The overflowing 2500 points of damage instantly reduced Seto Kaiba's health to a final 500 points.

[Seto Kaiba: LP4000→500! ]

Then, Youfeng also ended his turn:

"Then, my turn is over!"

...

Soon, with the declaration that Yuufu's turn was over, a disheveled Seto Kaiba took a deep breath with a resolute expression, and firmly extended his finger onto his silver Duel Disk to draw a card:

"Alright! My turn, draw a card!"

In that instant, amidst the president's furious roar as he drew cards, a card immediately lit up on Yufeng's duel disk.

"Humph~"

Upon seeing the smug smile on President Seto Kaiba's lips, the atmosphere at the scene immediately reached its peak.

After witnessing all of this, Youfeng immediately shook his head helplessly:

"Good heavens, so you're printing cards openly and honestly, huh?!"

...

After going through the [Draw Phase] and entering [Main Phase 1], Seto Kaiba couldn't wait to play the powerful card that held so much hope onto the field:

"Then, I will activate a Normal Spell Card from my hand: Heavenly Treasure Card. Depending on the card's effect, both players will draw cards until they have 6 cards in their hands (animation effect)!"

In an instant, accompanied by the scene depicting gold coins falling from the sky, both sides immediately reached their fingers to the duel disk to draw cards.

Meanwhile, Katsuya Jonouchi, watching from the sidelines, slightly pursed his lips, looking at the chestnut-haired boy in the white trench coat, Seto Kaiba, with a look of astonishment:

"Yufeng was right... That Kaiba kid is absolutely shameless..."

"There must be something fishy going on if this card is drawn at this time!"

"..."

Amidst Jonouchi's complaints, President Seto Kaiba, who had drawn several cards in a row, predictably followed his strategy during his turn, setting one monster card and three backrow cards face-down on his field:

"After setting a monster card... next, I will set three crucial backrow cards and end my turn!"

Amidst President Kaiba's smile, at the very moment the turn changed, the Chaos XYZ-Hope King-Crystal Man, who had been hoping to be given the effect of [No. 86 Hero Champion - Destroy Gun King] on the Yuuki field, was about to be forced to remove its materials.

The number of XYZ Materials under [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man] in the main monster area of ​​Yuufuku has not decreased as expected.

Instead, the effect of the copied [No. 86 Hero Champion - Destroyer of Guns] on the card art of [Chaos XYZ - Hopeful Emperor - Alien] disappeared, and the original card effect of [Chaos XYZ - Hopeful Emperor - Alien] was restored.

The attack power also dropped to 6000 points.

"??? How is this possible!"

Amidst the president's astonished and incredulous voice, Jonouchi, a staunch supporter of Yuuki but also watching from the sidelines, immediately turned his suspicious gaze towards Yuuki:

"Hey... Youfeng... what happened?"

...

Soon, amidst the unprecedented astonishment of everyone present, Yu Feng smiled and shook his head, then looked at the club president, whose face was filled with coldness, and said quietly:

"If I had the [No.86 Heroic Champion - Destroy the Gun King] with 6 materials on my field, I would indeed need to remove the materials according to the effect... but—"

"In the case of this [Gun King] being copied by [Chaos XYZ-Hope Emperor-Crystal Man], since the effect of the fake [Gun King] copying the opponent's card will expire at the end of the opponent's turn."

"Therefore, I do not need to remove 1 Xyz Material from [Chaos Xyz - Hopeful King - Alien] because of the effect of [No.86 Hero Champion - Destroy Gun King]!"

Soon, as the last glimmer of hope in President Seto Kaiba's eyes was completely extinguished, Yuuki immediately activated his card-bombing effect again during his [Main Phase 1]:

"This is me, my final version of the answer—a pseudo-[Gun King] with 7500 attack and 6 materials that will never drop materials!"

"—Next, I will use this card's effect to recreate [Gun King] again and destroy all the cards on your field!"

Soon, amidst Yufeng's excited shouts, with a sudden "bang," Seto Kaiba's front-row face-down monster, along with the healing card in his back-row, was blasted into the graveyard.

Upon realizing he was completely unable to counter the opponent's invincible gun king, Seto Kaiba looked at Yuuki with deep regret:

"Looks like... I lost to you again... Yuuka!"

With a mix of resentment and relief, Yu Feng clenched his fists and calmly turned his gaze towards Yu Feng. In that instant, Yu Feng immediately entered the battle phase, using direct attacks to completely deplete Seto Kaiba's last 500 HP.

With that punch, the club president even owed Yu Feng a life.

"Hmm~"

After a deep, painful groan, the club president, whose health had been reduced to 0, instantly lost the victory.

[Seto Kaiba: LP500→0! ]

...

"It seems that President Kaiba still doesn't possess the same invincibility ability as Yuuka-senpai..."

As the "jellyfish-headed" boy, Jaden Yuki, remarked with emotion, Yuuki immediately received another notification from the system:

[Congratulations, host, on successfully defeating your nemesis Seto Kaiba! You are now unlocking the Xyz Beasts Xyz Deck!]

121.CNo.1000 Dreamlike Illusory God - Primal Number Heavenly Spirit · Primal Number Heaven and Earth!

Soon, amidst cheers from the crowd, Seto Kaiba, the organizer of the competition, became the first contestant to be eliminated, losing his qualification for the competition.

"Heh... He made thorough preparations and was prepared to win his match, but he still died in the first round at the hands of his nemesis. I can only say it's tragic... It's just too tragic, Kaiba~"

Jonouchi immediately launched into a verbal attack.

Despite his extreme frustration and resentment, the president of the company, Kaiba Raito, immediately retorted with a chilling expression:

"Hmph... Even so, he's still a hundred times stronger than that mortal who has no right to be anyone's nemesis..."

"No... the dice will probably see you as their nemesis... heh..."

"..."

As the president, Seto Kaiba, delivered his merciless and sarcastic remark, Katsuya Jonouchi, who had been smugly smiling, instantly twitched his lips and glared angrily at the president.

"What did you say?! Seahorse, you bastard..."

"What? Did they guess my tail right? City Dog, why didn't you wear your efficient dog-themed cosplay outfit today?"

As the two bickered more and more intensely, the tension suddenly escalated to a terrifying level. Yugi Muto, with his "starfish head" hairstyle, and Mai Kujaku beside him, both held back Katsuya Jonouchi, who was eager to rush onto the dueling ring and have a real-life duel with Seto Kaiba.

Even the "jellyfish-headed" boy, Judai Yujo, sitting in the second row behind him, looked shocked and reassuringly pressed down on Katsuya Jonouchi's shoulder from behind.

"Aha, it's you, kid... Jellyfish Head!"

Just as he seemed to have found an outlet for his anger, Katsuya Jonouchi immediately grabbed Jaden Yuki by the arm:

"...It just so happens that the next match is between the two of us, Jellyfish Head. Let Jonouchi teach you a lesson, shall we?"

Judai Yuki: Huh?! What did I do to you, Jonouchi-senpai!

...

As the two men raised their voices, Jaden Yuki quickly put on a resolute expression that said, "Even so, I am not afraid of you," and together they stepped onto the dueling platform amidst the "amiable" and "entertaining" smiles of the crowd.

At that very moment, Seto Kaiba, the club president, his face pale and his expression cold, gritted his teeth and shook his head deeply. A chilling glint flashed in his eyes as he shouted at Yuuki, who had walked off the dueling platform with him, filled with resentment:

"Youfeng...this is not a match to end our feud..."

"...No matter how much time passes, I will lead my Blue-Eyes White Dragon to surpass you time and time again, until I utterly defeat you!"

Accompanied by the president Seto Kaiba's excited voice, Yuuka nodded in response.

For an excellent duelist, having a powerful rival with an unwavering fighting spirit is an incredibly exciting thing.

"but--"

Youfeng's tone also shifted slightly:

"The deck has some weird R8s stuffed in it, and it even has a D-Wheel... Who knows what might happen in the future..."

"We still don't know where your [White Dragon] will ultimately go... Accelerated Synchro Summoning isn't out of the question~"

With a gentle, languid tone, it was as if a certain thought had been struck – to further enhance the White Dragon deck's strength, it was essential to add more resources.

At this moment, a hint of conflict immediately appeared on President Seto Kaiba's face, and then he clenched his fist instantly:

"There's no need to think about that, Youfeng! You just need to wait for the lash that will bring you defeat!"

With the president's unwavering declaration, Yuuka nodded again, his face full of helplessness:
