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

Soon, with the approval of the two legendary duelists who were almost known as the original "Duel Duo", everyone nodded without any objection.

Meanwhile, the boy with the "jellyfish head" hairstyle, Yuki Jaden, laughed and said:

"Supporting such high-end technology for card battles is something that no one but the Kaima Group should be able to do... Especially since I heard that many years ago there were some card hunters who did pirate cards, but later, thanks to the anti-counterfeiting technology introduced by the Kaima Group, all fake cards became impossible to produce."

"And effects outside the rules can no longer be activated."

As Jaden Yuki specifically mentioned this point, it seemed as if a long-forgotten, unresolved memory had been touched upon, and Yugi Muto's expression instantly became somewhat unnatural.

"..."

Noticing his companion's unusual behavior, Jonouchi Katsuya immediately patted Muto Yugi on the shoulder:

"So—that means the game's [Sky Dragon of Osiris] will no longer be mistakenly identified as a [Dragon-type Effect] monster and melted down..."

Muto Games:...

Peacock Dance: ...Your emotional intelligence is...

...

At that very moment, facing the Xyz Monster that Yuufu suddenly appeared, Marufuji Ryo nodded with a gloomy expression, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes:

"It turns out that everything was part of Teacher Youfeng's plan..."

"Without realizing it, I've completely fallen into the trap..."

"..."

Soon, amidst the blue-haired boy's almost mournful expression, Yufeng immediately ended his turn after performing this [Xyz] Summon.

...

Since he wasn't sure how powerful the effect of this Rank 13 monster card would be, even though he had safely made it to his turn, Ryo Marufuji's expression was slightly unnatural. However, his fingers still unconsciously reached for his silver-white Duel Disk, performing the card-drawing action:

"So, it's my turn, draw a card—"

With a low-level monster card unique to Cyber ​​Dragon added to Ryo Marufuji's hand, the blue-haired boy immediately used Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite to absorb Cyber ​​Dragon Next Star from his field to replenish the counter-monster effect of Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite.

Then, the battle began immediately.

But at that very moment, the attack power of the level 13 [CNo.1000 Dreamlike Void God Primal Celestial Spirit] in the Windwalk arena was fluctuating continuously:

【CNo.1000 Dreamlike Illusory God Original Number Celestial Spirit】

[Attack power:? →100000]

[Defense:? →100000]

"What?! There really are monster cards with 100,000 attack power?!"

"Senior Youfeng, he really did it?!"

Amidst the utter astonishment and disbelief of the crowd, Youfeng smiled and nodded.

"When my [CNo.1000 Dreamy Primal Celestial] is Special Summoned by the effect of [Chaos Number 1000 Dreamy Primal Celestial], this card gains 100000 ATK/DEF only during your opponent's turn."

At that very moment, Marufuji Ryo, Yuufu's opponent, was also taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook his head, as if he had thought of something:

"But if that's the case... 10 attack power is strong, but if it can't be used actively at all... it's meaningless..."

"I could have easily avoided it—"

But just as a glimmer of hope seemed to rekindle in Marufuji Ryo's tone, Yuuka immediately and mercilessly interrupted his "beloved student," pointing once again at the Rank 13 monster card that had surpassed the limit of [Xyz].

"It's useless. This card also has a guaranteed victory effect: any opponent's monster that can attack must attack this card!"

"If you have no monsters on your field that can attack, you win the Duel at the end of your opponent's turn if this card has not been in combat."

...

As the wind whistled softly, the crowd below the stage was momentarily stunned.

Jonouchi: Good heavens, isn't this just a forced victory?

Asuka Tenjouin: Forcing the opponent to end their victory with their own hands is... just too cruel...

Jaden Yuki: ...As expected, Yuuki-senpai's decks always manage to produce unique effects...

Little cousin: Amazing, incredibly amazing!

125. The dominance of the full-fledged [Longhui Qiao]: Master Kong is on the move!

In that instant, faced with this sudden situation, Ryo Marufuji's expression became extremely complicated.

"even--"

Soon, after glancing at the powerful Rank 13 monster card [CNo. 1000 Dreamy Primal Spirit], which boasted a combined 10 defense and attack power and was positioned horizontally in defense position, Ryo Marufuji instantly lamented:

"Since it is in face-up defense position, it is completely impossible for my [Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite] to absorb it as material."

At this moment, despite embracing the absolute victory of the Dark Faith, Marufuji Ryo shook his head with a face full of pain.

"In this situation... it's unclear whether the [Kite Winged Person] can withstand two instances of combat damage, and it's not a light threat, but even if it could..."

"At this moment, I have more monsters on the field that can attack than I can defend against... It looks like—"

"This time, my defeat is inevitable!"

Soon, with a look of near despair on his face as he faced the 13th-rank Great [Source God] who seemed to possess the power of his brother's Source Country, Ryo Marufuji immediately entered the battle phase, using his ace monster—[Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinity]—to launch a dignified attack in the most respectable way!

"what!"

Amidst the overwhelming damage, Marufuji Ryo's LP was instantly reduced to zero, and he collapsed onto the dueling arena, his gaze unfocused.

...

"Marufuji-senpai, in the end, you still couldn't overcome the wall of sighs that is Yuuka-senpai..."

Soon, as the girl Asuka Tenjouin spoke with pessimism and helplessness, the boy with the "jellyfish head" hairstyle beside her, Jaden Yuki, revealed a relatively relieved expression:

"But—to have a senior figure constantly inspiring me on my dueling journey, to always have a goal and direction for my duels..."

"Isn't this a lucky thing?"

As Jaden Yuki laughed, his "defeated opponent," Katsuya Jonouchi, sitting in the front row, immediately nodded with a surprised expression.

"I didn't expect you to be so enlightened!"

"Hey hey hey~"

When faced with Katsuya Jonouchi's rare "praise," Jaden Yuki chuckled and scratched his "jellyfish head":

"Hmm~ Even a legendary duelist like Mr. Jonouchi, who can't defeat me in combat, is someone I respectfully learn from at all times—emmm... learn from your optimistic attitude!"

Katsuya Jonouchi: "You son of a bitch..."

...

Soon, amidst the laughter of the crowd, Yuuka, who was being declared the winner of the duel by Professor Chronos in the center of the dueling platform, also had a slight glint in his eyes as he stared at Marufuji Ryo, who seemed to have prepared for a long time but was now somewhat dejected and unable to face his defeat. His expression immediately turned serious:

"...Caesar Ryo, you need to pull yourself together and hone your skills like a poor man—you must not slacken until the day you defeat me!"

Accompanied by Yu Feng's reprimanding voice, Marufuji Ryo's spirits instantly lifted. After glancing blankly at Yu Feng, his expression immediately hardened.

"Hmm... Teacher Youfeng... I will never stop pursuing my goals!"

At that moment, as the two duelists representing the "electronic style" interacted on the field, the gazes of the crowd below also revealed a subtle tension.

"They really are lovers, I'm so envious, Ryo Marufuji-senpai..."

As Jaden Yuki's voice was filled with envy, Asuka Tenjouin's eyes flashed with surprise:

"...It's rare to see...Senior Yuuka being so strict!"

As the girl exclaimed in admiration, the sexy woman sitting directly in front of her, in front of the first row of dueling seats—Peacock Dance—blinked and turned to the girl with a smile:

"That's precisely the unique charm of Yufeng—don't you think he's incredibly manly!"

Accompanied by the excited voice of the Peacock Dance, the Peacock Dancer immediately stood up and waved to You Feng on the stage.

"Well then, it's my turn to compete!"

As the Peacock Dancer's exhilarating voice rang out, and the two brushed past each other on the dueling platform, Yufeng smiled and gave his old friend a high-five!

"come on!"

At that moment, a strange glint also flashed in the eyes of Asuka Tenjouin, who was watching everything intently from the sidelines.

...

Soon after bidding farewell to everyone, Youfeng left the dueling arena directly. Unlike other duelists who stayed to watch the match after it ended, he went straight back to his dormitory.

"...Um..."

After letting out a soft sigh, Seto Kaiba nodded, his eyes flickering.

"So many years have passed, but Youfeng's personality hasn't changed at all..."

After expressing his feelings, Seto Kaiba shook his head slightly and left the competition venue with a bored expression, since his nemesis's match had ended.

...

Back in his "seaside villa," You Feng immediately opened his system page and received a mysterious card related to the system's creation:

[Congratulations, host, on successfully defeating Ryo Marufuji using the Source Card deck. The system will issue you a reward.]

In an instant, a special card pack, light blue in color and symbolizing the summoning of the [Ritual], was immediately displayed in front of Youfeng.

This immediately surprised Soul Wind:

"Hmm?! What kind of [Ritual] deck would it be at this time of year?"

With a slightly surprised expression, Youfeng immediately opened the card pack, which also had a card pack cover resembling a mecha skin, using a gear-shaped mechanical switch.

The first thing that caught Yu Feng's eye were two [Xyz] and [Synchro] monster cards that, although not high in star level/rank, were both [Fairy-Type].

[Congratulations, host, on successfully obtaining the Dragon Radiance Skill - Ritual Support Deck!]

Congratulations! You have obtained a Level 4 Support Fairy Synchro Monster card!
