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

"I'll just dump a Synchro monster card from my Extra Deck into the Graveyard—[Rainbow Declarer]!"

As Yufeng pointed his finger toward his silver-white Duel Disk, a small, shimmering Fairy-Type monster, rapidly traversing within the Synchro aura, was selected from his Extra Deck as a silver-white Synchro monster card and sent directly to the Graveyard.

Meanwhile, the star rating on the card "The Proclaimer's Witch" on the Windfield immediately started flashing, eventually reaching the final 6 stars after gaining 4 stars.

...

"Did Senior Yufeng suddenly want to use Synchro Summon halfway through the game? Why did he suddenly start adjusting the star rating of his characters on the field?!"

Along with the slightly puzzled voice of "yellow-haired" Katsuya Jonouchi watching from the sidelines, everyone looked at Yuuka with surprise at the same moment.

"Hmm~ Although I had expected that Senior Yuuka would include other resources in his deck, I didn't expect it to be [Synchro]..."

For a fleeting moment, as Tenjouin Asuka was slightly surprised, Yuuka smiled and pointed directly at his own grave, activating the effect of [Rainbow Proclaimer]:

"At this moment, I activate the effect of [Rainbow Announcer], which was just sent to the Graveyard by [Announcer's Witch]: You can activate this effect if this card is sent to the Graveyard. Add 1 Ritual Monster or 1 Ritual Spell Card from your Deck to your hand."

"So—now I'm going to get my hands on a Ritual Monster terminal from the [Announcer] series—[Announcer of Divine Light]!"

As Yuuki quickly opened his main deck and began acquiring cards, his opponent, Jaden Yuki, nodded slightly.

"Hmm... I see... A continuous card-gaining effect? ​​This card should be like the [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] that Yuuki-senpai has, with the ability to continuously gain cards or accumulate resources, right?"

"After all—senpai Yufeng's ultimate terminal must be [Ryuki Takumi's] own 12-star terminal, right?"

As the "jellyfish-headed" boy, Jaden Yuki, stroked his chin with a sigh, Asuka Tenjouin nodded slightly, seemingly recalling the moment when she defeated Yuuka with "Famous Five-Hit Combo" [Dragon's Gaze - Heavenly Dragon Meteor = DRA] in the [Ritual] deck mirror match with Yuuka. Her gaze was filled with certainty as she looked at Yuuka's classic 1-star, 2000-ATK classic Machine-Type monster card [Dragon's Gaze].

...

Faced with the unwavering confidence in his terminal from the crowd, Youfeng smiled slightly and nodded.

"I see? Because it's only 6-star, you didn't think it would be an important card at all?"

"But it's alright, next—"

After quickly reviewing his hand, Yufeng immediately played the second [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] card from his hand, along with the one he had previously retrieved using [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-].

"Next, just like the first [Special Summon] I just performed, I will Tribute [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] from my hand as material to Special Summon this [Dragon's Radiance - Kamisaburo ζ] in face-up Defense Position:"

Soon, in Yufeng's graveyard, the second [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] entered the graveyard, and immediately, that classic monster appeared in Yufeng's front-row monster zone. It was similar in style and form to [Dragon Shining Takumi - Right Pivot Alpha] which had already appeared on the field—a Machine-type Cosmic Dust that appeared in the form of a dragon.

It appears in space with an equally magnificent and beautiful outer shell, covered in crimson armor, but with a more aggressive style:

【Longhui Qiao - Shangbi ζ】

[Star rating: 1]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 2000]

[Defense: 0]

"And like the effect after being Special Summoned by [Dragon's Radiance - Right Pivot α], I can perform a card search again, except this time—"

The instant after completing the Normal Summon, Yufeng immediately reached for his silver-white Duel Disk again, searching for a deep blue Dragonlight Chobon Family [Ritual Spell] card.

Then, before activating [Dragon's Radiance - Right Pivot α], [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten -] was activated in a chain and entered the graveyard to retrieve an Angel/Light attribute effect.

Search for a Level 2 monster card that is the same as the [Announcer's Witch] on the field and add it to your hand.

...

This unexpected search action caused Asuka Tenjouin to frown slightly.

"...Didn't you search for the third [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-]? It seems highly likely that Yuuki has already obtained the third [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-]..."

"Although due to the self-destruction of the [Dragon Radiance Technician]'s lower-level monster search, this time a [Scrap Item] was retrieved."

"However, this way... you now have a perfect 4000 ATK monster on the field, plus a [Ritual Spell] card in your hand..."

"In that case, the appearance of that 12-star [Dragon Artificial - Heavenly Dragon Meteor = DRA] card might be inevitable..."

After a brief deduction, Asuka Tenjouin glanced at Jaden Yuki, the "jellyfish-headed" boy with a similarly serious expression, and sighed softly:

"...Although Jaden's [HERO] deck has incredibly powerful monster effects, boasting not only the formidable combination of [Zero + Acid], but also a devastating weapon like [Friend Hero]..."

"But that [Dragon's Cleverness - Heavenly Dragon Meteor = DRA], I remember it was a card that could prevent monsters from being targeted by the opponent's monster effects, and could explode multiple times during the opponent's turn..."

"In that case, even [HERO] would have a hard time making a difference against Senior Yuuka's [Ryuki Takumi], right?"

...

At that very moment, accompanied by the girl's soft sigh, Youfeng immediately pointed his finger at the two monster cards currently on the field:

"I now have two Level 1 monsters on my field—you know what I mean?!"

"I directly put these two 1-star Dragon Glory cards into the Oppa category!"

"Come forth! My strongest Xyz support power—Rank 1! [Dragon Radiance Technique - Support Basket Increase Two μβ']!"

In an instant, accompanied by Yufeng's deep voice, the two Level 1 Dragonlight Takumi monsters on his field immediately lit up with a golden light representing the power of [Xyz]. Then, a Level 1 shiny black [Xyz] exclusive monster card was immediately drawn from his Extra Deck and placed face down on the two [Dragonlight Takumi] monster cards that were stacked together.

A bright silver mechanical dragon monster, resembling a space battleship, was immediately Special Summoned to the field in face-up Attack Position:

【Longhui Qiao - Supporting the Basket Increases Two μβ'】

[Class: 1]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 2000]

[Defense: 0]

...

In that instant, as everyone was astonished that this Rank 1 Xyz Monster card, with its unremarkable stats, was created using two Xyz Materials, Yuuki pointed at the newly Special Summoned Xyz Monster and activated its effect:

"Then, based on this card's effect: If this card is successfully Xyz Summoned, you can activate this effect. Send 1 [Dragon's Radiance] card from your Deck to the Graveyard."

In an instant, as the shiny black card lit up, Yufeng immediately opened his main deck and, almost without thinking, selected a Level 1 [Dragon's Radiance] low-level monster card, directly filling the graveyard.

"Then, since [Dragon's Radiance]'s Level 1 low-level monster cards can also be summoned from the Graveyard, I will release the third [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] from my hand to Special Summon this [Dragon's Radiance - Tenchu-δ] to the field in face-up Defense Position!"

This time, a Level 1 Machine-Type monster, similar in form to the recently introduced [Dragonlight Technic] series monster, resembling a galloping Pegasus, immediately appeared in the main monster zone of the front field. This Level 1 [Xyz] monster, [Strategy], made its official debut with outstretched wings.

【Long Hui Qiao - Heavenly Chef 1δ】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 1]

[Attack power: 2000]

[Defense: 0]

"Furthermore, like the previous two cards, this card also has the effect of gaining card advantage. You can show your opponent one Ritual Monster or one Ritual Spell Card from your hand so that you can draw one card from your deck."

After briefly explaining the effect of his monster, Yufeng directly displayed the [Dragon Shining Takumi]'s own [Ritual Spell] card, and immediately reached for the Duel Disk to draw a card based on its effect. A new card was instantly drawn into his hand.

Then, as the [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] in the graveyard lit up for the third time this turn, Yuuki immediately used the graveyard effect to search for and draw a Level 1 [Angel] monster card.

...

"You Feng?!"

"While I understand the desire to maximize card usage, acquiring so many useless items at this point..."

"If the next round of the game doesn't go well, it will affect the overall development, right?"

Seeing that Yuuki didn't seem to have any intention of searching for "favorable" moving points or the ritual monster cards of the [Cyber ​​Angel] family, "Blonde" Joeyune Katsu, sitting in the front row of the audience, blinked at Yuuki with a slightly questioning look.

Not wanting to miss the rare opportunity to watch the game in person, Seto Kaiba crossed his arms and let out a sharp, cold snort:

"Hmph... Mortal... Youfeng's [Ritual] deck has clearly completely changed, and even transcended, the original [Ritual] system..."

"...If it's worthwhile to use search points to find a 1-star Angel-type monster card!"

"However, such professional dueling knowledge is indeed too much for someone like you with only mortal bones!"

"..."

As Seto Kaiba's voice faded, Orange Juice's brow twitched rapidly, just as she was about to retort.

At that moment, Mai Kongque nudged his shoulder slightly, and Yuuki on the field immediately played the Dragon Radiance Chobon Family [Ritual Spell] card from his hand—

"Now, it's time to witness my strongest terminal performance of the game!"

"I activate a Ritual Spell card from my hand - Meteor Shower".

"Based on the effect: Tribute Machine-Type monsters from your hand or field until their total ATK exceeds the ATK of the monster that was Ritual Summoned. Ritual Summon 1 Ritual Monster from your hand or Graveyard."

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng's powerful voice, just as everyone thought he was about to summon the Level 12 main monster, Youfeng immediately played the Level 6 [Announcer] series Ritual Monster card he had searched for in his hand again:

"At this moment, when I activate the effect of the Xyz Monster on the field, [Dragon's Glorious Trickster - Fukubaku' μβ': If a Ritual Summon is performed, I can also remove the Xyz Materials of those Tributed Monsters from this card."

"Then I'll remove one material and proceed with this ritual summoning—"

"Come forth! The power of divine light destroys everything! An incomparably powerful blocking force—Level 6! [Divine Light Proclaimer]!"

In an instant, a glimmer of light flashed across Yu Feng's field. A powerful Level 6 LIGHT Angel-Type monster card, with beautiful, multicolored wings but a body that resembled a spherical ball, descended upon Yu Feng's main monster zone with a burst of holy power.

[The Proclaimer of Divine Light]

[Race: Angel]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 6]

[Attack power: 1800]

[Defense: 2800]

...

"Huh?! It made a proper entrance, but without any special effects... Senior Youfeng's card should be a support card?"
