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

...

As Katsuya Jonouchi's gentle reminder rang out, Yuuka nodded and said with a smile:

"That Judai kid, I've never considered him a weakling!"

Soon, amidst Youfeng's rather sentimental voice, a "jellyfish-headed" boy who had just woken up appeared in the [Osiris-Red] restaurant, carrying his breakfast.

He immediately noticed the group of people discussing him, and his expression instantly changed:

"Ah~ I'm really happy to be valued by so many senior duelists!"

"Senior Yufeng—it's been a while since we dueled. This time, I'll definitely share more about my understanding of [HERO] with you!"

Soon, along with Judai's excited voice, Yuuka also frowned slightly, looking at the "jellyfish-headed" boy in front of him with some suspicion:

"Judai... is this [HERO] deck you're talking about serious?"

"Is it possible that you've printed some weird or strange thing out of your deck again?"

"Rainbow Dad? That shouldn't be the case. Even if he has [Friend Hero], this timing..."

Soon, accompanied by Yuuki's suspicious gaze, Yuuki Jaden also revealed a mysterious smile on his lips.

...

Soon, the relatively calm period before the match passed.

Yuuka will also immediately head to the new dueling arena on the night of the match. It is the largest building on the entire island, the Kaiba Arena, which was rebuilt by the Kaiba Group during the time when the Osiris-Red dormitory burned down.

The day's schedule also featured Yugi Muto vs. Ed Phoenix as the first semi-final match.

Edward used his own "Destiny-Hero" deck and added the amazing new "Phantom-Hero" deck, and successfully summoned the powerful Fusion Monster card known as the Phoenix Chick - the Level 8 "D-HERO Destroyer Phoenix".

But the next second, just as he destroyed Yugi Muto's front line, Yugi Muto actually activated a Quick-Play Spell card—Called by the Graveyard—which banished Ed Phoenix's Phoenix.

After being unable to jump back into the field, Xiao Biao once again made Edward's face darken with a series of pitfalls in the backcourt.

While striving to create a powerful terminal monster, Little Watch once again exclaimed in his classic style, "Strong, too strong." But the next second, he immediately opened the back row and flipped out a [Magic Cylinder].

Ed Phoenix also lost the match instantly due to the effect damage.

...

"Now it's our turn, Senior Yuuka!"

While being shocked by Xiao Biao's actions, "Jellyfish Head" Yuki Jaden immediately adjusted his deck and, at the signal of Professor Chronos, the referee of the tournament, smiled and looked at Yufeng.

The two immediately appeared one after the other in the huge dueling arena, on the dueling platform in the very center.

Both players immediately put on their duel disks, carefully shuffled their decks, and simultaneously declared their duel:

"DUEL!!!"

"DUEL!!!"

Professor Chronos, acting as the referee, immediately took out a special silver coin bearing the "KC" logo, representing the competition, and tossed it high into the air.

After the coin toss, Youfeng got the right to choose whether to go first or second in this duel, and almost without thinking, he chose to go first.

Then, both players reached for their main decks on their duel disks and drew five cards each as their initial hand resources.

"Then I won't hold back, Judai!"

Soon after glancing at his hand, Youfeng immediately played his signature green magic card:

"Next, I will immediately activate a Normal Spell Card from my hand—Cyber ​​Emergency Call: Add 1 Cyber ​​Dragon monster or a Machine/LIGHT monster that cannot be Normal Summoned from your Deck to your hand."

A scene depicting a plane being shot down and rapidly crashing while being chased by an enemy, sending out a distress signal, immediately lit up as this classic Cyber ​​Dragon Spell Card was played.

...

"Is Senior Yufeng... making a comeback with the classic [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck?"

Soon, amidst a surprised exclamation from Jaden Yuki, he looked at the card with great amazement and nostalgia.

Upon entering the university, Jaden Yuki, as a freshman, had already experienced a crushing defeat at the hands of Yuuki's [Cyber ​​Dragon], so at this moment, his eyes were gleaming with excitement:

"Well, this match looks like it's going to be my revenge match, Yuuka-senpai!"

With a confident smile on his face, Yuuki Jaden immediately retrieved his entire [Main Deck] from his silver Duel Disk based on the card effects, and then began searching for it.

Unexpectedly, a Level 1 [Machine-Type] monster card was immediately drawn from the deck and added to the hand by Youfeng:

"I'll start with a [Dragon Radiance Clever - Right Pivot α]!"

...

"This is?! The long-awaited [Dragon's Radiance] Ritual Deck?!"

Soon, accompanied by the astonished voice of Asuka Tenjouin, a girl who still adhered to her understanding of ritual power in this increasingly complex environment and whose main deck was "Cyber ​​Angel," everyone simultaneously cast surprised glances at Yuuki.

"Hmm... that [Dragon Radiance]'s older brother... can perform a fatal five-hit combo, right? I remember... it attacks based on the number of monsters it Special Summons on the opponent's field, and its ATK reaches a whopping 4000 points..."

"Indeed, their strength is extraordinary."

As Yuuki Jaden, the "jellyfish-headed" boy who was Yuuki's rival, uttered a slight sigh, he looked at Yuuki with a hint of surprise the next second:

"However, no matter how strong this card is individually, it can't compare to the [Gun King] or [Flash Heat Synchro] in Senior Yufeng's hands, or even the [Synchro] [Shooting Quasar Dragon], right?"

"Playing a [Ritual Deck] at this time is certainly nostalgic, but its strength has decreased, hasn't it?"

"..."

As Jaden Yuki voiced his doubts, Katsuya Jonouchi, who was watching from the sidelines, and Asuka Tenjouin, a girl who had faith in the Ritual Deck, all nodded slightly at the same moment, indicating their agreement with Jaden Yuki's point of view.

But the next second—

Faced with the doubts of the crowd, You Feng smiled slightly and shook his head:

"It seems, Jaden, you still haven't realized how truly powerful this deck is—"

"The Dragon Radiance Deck is capable of unparalleled strength!"

Accompanied by Youfeng's exhilarating voice, he drew two cards from his hand in quick succession:

"Next, I will directly activate the effect of [Cyber ​​Emergency Call] to search for [Dragonfire Takumi - Right Pivot α] in my hand: You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 [Dragonfire Takumi] monster or Ritual Monster other than this card from your hand/field. Special Summon this card from your hand/Graveyard in Defense Position. After that, you can add 1 Ritual Monster from your Deck to your hand. During the turn this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than those that cannot be Normal Summoned."

"Then, I will directly release one of my ritual monsters from the Cyber ​​Angel—Cyber ​​Angel-Benten-—from my hand and Special Summon this card, Dragonlight Takumi-Rocco α, in face-up Attack Position."

In an instant, the Angel-type sister cards belonging to Tenjouin Asuka's classic deck were directly released from her hand as the release targets.

Yu Feng immediately played the Level 1 [Machine-Type] monster card he had obtained through a search from his hand. A brilliant cosmic scene immediately appeared in his front-row monster zone, and a Machine-Type monster, made entirely of metal mechanical structure and resembling a dragon-shaped machine, instantly flew in from space:

【Long Huiqiao - Right Pivot α】

[Star rating: 1]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 2000]

[Defense: 0]

At that very moment, Yuuka immediately pointed his finger at the [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] in the graveyard, which had just been freed from his hand to Special Summon [Dragon's Radiance - Right Pivot α], and activated its effect:

"At this moment, I will activate the effect of [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] in my Graveyard: This effect can only be activated if this card is Tributed. Add 1 Fairy-Type LIGHT monster from your Deck to your hand."

"Because of the effect of [Dragon's Glow - Right Pivot α], even if it's a Tribute from my hand, I can still trigger this effect, so I will search for two monster cards in a row and bring them into my hand!"

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng's powerful declaration, he once again took out his main deck from his silver-white duel disk. After searching, he drew two monster cards in succession, corresponding to the effects activated twice.

"So, the two cards I have in my hand are the second one, [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-], and one [Declarator's Sorcerer]!"

...

As Yuuka followed the classic sequence of unlocking [Cyber ​​Angel - Benzen -] and then searching for [Cyber ​​Angel - Benzen -], Tenjouin Asuka immediately nodded slightly.

"...Senior Yuuki's [Dragon's Radiance] deck...no, this stage should be called [Ritual Mode] more accurately...has it already incorporated the power of [Cyber ​​Angel]?"

"In this way... our already smooth resource management capabilities will be further enhanced, allowing us to earn even more cards..."

"Will Senior Yuuka unleash the full power of the Ritual deck on this duel stage this time?!"

"..."

Soon, as Yu Feng executed his smooth maneuvers, everyone's eyes flickered as they watched the lower-level monster on Yu Feng's field—a monster from the "Dragon's Radiance" deck that seemed to have been completely rebuilt with a new "Ritual" system.

At the same time, Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba, who also included the [Ritual] card in their main decks, narrowed their gazes and focused on Yuuki.

"Hmm...while it's true that Yuuki is ahead of us in the areas of Xyz and Synchro...but as for Ritual..."

Just as the president, Seto Kaiba, was deep in thought with a gruff voice, Yuuki immediately played the low-level [Angel-Type] monster he had just retrieved from his hand:

"At this moment, I will summon this [Declarator's Sorcerer] from my hand in face-up Attack Position!"

"This will open a new direction for [Dragon Radiance] - the [Announcer] series."

"Let us recreate the glory of this ceremony!"

127.5 bullets in a Master Kong instant noodle? Here's a little surprise from Longhui Qiao!

Soon, Yufeng unexpectedly played a lower-level monster card from the "Announcer" series that did not belong to "Dragon Radiance".

The arena was immediately filled with a sense of holy radiance, and a 2-star angel monster, clad in a blue robe and with a pair of extremely beautiful white wings spread behind it, appeared in the arena:

The Proclaimer's Shaman

[Race: Angel]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 2]

[Attack power: 500]

[Defense: 300]

Then, just as this monster appeared on Youfeng's field, seemingly completely deviating from the main theme of [Machine-Type] and causing everyone to frown in confusion, Youfeng immediately pointed at the monster card and activated its effect:

"If this card is Normal/Special Summoned, you can activate this effect. Send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your Deck or Extra Deck to the Graveyard. This card's Level increases by that monster's Level until the end of this turn."
