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

Soon, everyone was slightly surprised to see that the person who appeared was not the 12-star [Long Huiqiao] who they had imagined.

More often, the comments were expressed by figures like Tenjouin Asuka, who was extremely familiar with the Ritual deck:

"Huh??!! If you use XYZ materials directly as Tribute materials for a Ritual Summon... this Xyz Rank 1 monster can be used as a total of 3 materials, and it even has a Graveyard-filling effect upon entering the field... it's practically maximizing card advantage..."

"Is this what they call the glory of the reforging ceremony?!"

...

With even Xiao Biao casting an interested glance his way, Youfeng immediately pointed to his graveyard and activated the effect of the Ritual Spell card that had just been summoned and entered the graveyard—Meteor Shower:

"At this moment, I will activate the effect of [Meteor Shower] from the Graveyard: If this card is in the Graveyard, you can target 1 [Dragon Shower] monster you control. That monster loses 1000 ATK until the end of your opponent's turn, and add this card to your hand."

"Then, at the cost of reducing the attack power of [Dragon's Glow Takumi - Heavenly Chef 1δ] to 1000, I will directly pull this [Meteor Glow Takumi] back from the graveyard into my hand!"

Soon, after a flash of light, Yufeng immediately retrieved the eerie blue [Ritual Spell] card from the graveyard back into his hand.

Then, as expected, Yufeng played it again. However, this time, instead of playing the highly anticipated Level 12 monster [Dragon's Radiance], he played a Level 6 Ritual Monster card, [Cyber ​​Angel].

"I'm sorry, I know you're all looking forward to the appearance of [DRA], but—the strongest card is already in the lineup!"

"Next, what I need to do is provide ammunition for the great Master Kong!"

"Using the effect of [Dragon's Glow - Support Basket Increase 2μβ'] to remove the last XYZ Material as a replacement, I Ritual Summon from the Graveyard—Summon! Level 6! [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-]"

In an instant, accompanied by a powerful Ritual Magic card that almost reconstructed the pattern of Ritual Summoning, depicting what seemed to be the final form of Dragon's Radiance, the monster spread its radiant wings, and the ultimate, dazzling planetary-level monster image rose before a massive constellation.

After being summoned from its graveyard three times as a card-gaining ability, [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-] has finally made its official appearance in Yuufu's front-row monster zone:

【Electronic Angel - Benten-】

[Race: Angel]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 6]

[Attack power: 1800]

[Defense: 1500]

"Now, I have two 6-star monsters! So this time, my great Master Kong will replenish my ammunition with a full 5 bullets! Giving you a little Dragon Radiance shock!"

"Xyz Summon—"

Soon, as Yufeng opened his Extra Deck, a crucial Rank 6 Fairy monster card was immediately drawn.

128.5mm bullet Master Kong: I can even make a divine bow! Come and be dominated by skill!

"Five bullets? Master Kong brand?!"

"What is Senior Youfeng saying? It seems rather abstract..."

"I don't understand at all..."

As Yuuki Jaden, who was already in the semifinals, looked on with a smug expression as Yuuki drew a bright black Xyz monster card from his Extra Deck, his opponent, Yuuki Jaden, scratched his jellyfish-like head and looked at Yuuki, who was performing the Xyz operation, with a slightly confused expression.

At that very moment, as Yufeng unleashed his attack on the deck formed by the 6-star [Announcer of Light] and the 6-star [Cyber ​​Angel - Benten-].

A golden Xyz radiance once again ignited in the monster zone of the front field, and a holy angel bathed in holy light and dressed in pink Saint Cloth descended into the roaring area of ​​Yuufu's front field with outstretched arms and an immaculate appearance:

【The Eternal Lady - Beatrice】

[Race: Angel]

[Attribute: light]

[Class: 6]

[Attack power: 2500]

[Defense: 2800]

...

"Another [overdose]?!"

"But this time, although it's the [Angel Race], it seems to have absolutely no connection to [Dragon Radiance], nor to the [Cyber ​​Angel] or the [Announcer]—this mysterious R6..."

"I'm absolutely certain that this thing absolutely cannot use [XYZ materials] to replace [ritual materials]..."

Watching from the sidelines, Katsuya Jonouchi, after hearing the voice, suddenly slapped his thigh and looked at the confident Yuuki on the field with a slightly suspicious gaze:

"Oh no, Youfeng's fallen into his old habit again, he's starting to get abstract again!"

...

Faced with the equally bewildered Judai Yuki's questioning voice at the same moment, Yuuki smiled and shook his head, pointing his finger at the powerful Rank 6 [Xyz] monster [Eternal Lady - Beatrice], activating its card effect once again:

"That's right, this card doesn't have an effect similar to [Dragon's Radiance - Basket Enhancement 2μβ'], but—"

"It still possesses a truly miraculous effect: precise grave stacking!"

Soon, with a soft chuckle, Youfeng's finger immediately reached into his silver-white Duel Disk, searching once more.

"This card has an effect that can be activated once per turn: detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and send 1 card from your Deck to the Graveyard. This effect can also be activated during your opponent's turn."

"so--"

Yufeng also acted swiftly and decisively, drawing a Level 1 Fairy-Type monster based on its effect and dropping it directly into the Graveyard:

Then, after activating this effect, the cards in the graveyard that shone with the image of a small alien wearing a crimson spacesuit and holding a pistol immediately became the core cards that Youfeng had just discarded into the graveyard.

"At this moment, I will activate the effect of [Extraterrestrial Life] which I just sent to the Graveyard: If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can banish up to 2 other Fairy-Type LIGHT monsters from your field or Graveyard to activate this effect. Add 1 Level 2 or lower Fairy-Type LIGHT monster (excluding [Extraterrestrial Life]) from your Deck to your hand."

"And I choose—"

At that moment, as one of the XYZ Materials of [Eternal Lady - Beatrice] was sent to the Graveyard as the cost of Yuufu's effect, Yuufu immediately retrieved resources from his Graveyard area from his Duel Disk, and immediately banished two [Fairy + LIGHT] monster cards, including [Rainbow Declarator], from the game.

Then, he opened his main deck and successfully drew two 1-star Angel-type monster cards through precise retrieval.

After placing a [Dragon's Radiance] Trap Card face-down in his backrow, Yufeng immediately ended his turn:

"My turn is over!"

...

Just as Yuuki chose to end his turn, a bewildered Jaden Yuuki stared again at the two Xyz Monsters and one Level 6 Ritual Monster on Yuuki's field, and frowned slightly:

"Huh?! After all that buildup, is this all there is to it?"

"Its attack power is over 2000 at its highest, and its only [Ritual] card is a Level 6 monster..."

"All I have left are level 1 [Angel-Type] monster cards. Senior Yufeng, you're basically playing your cards face-up against me~"

"Then—I won't be polite!"

After stating that it was a formal competition and that he had to go all out even though his opponent was his senior and teacher, Jaden Yuki smiled confidently and reached for the Duel Disk to draw a card.

"My turn - draw a card!"

With a classic low-level monster from the [HERO] deck in hand, Jaden Yuki's lips curled into a slight smile, and he nodded excitedly.

"Well~ looks like I'm having a good run of cards, Yuuka-senpai!"

...

At that very instant, Asuka Tenjouin, who was watching from the sidelines, also felt a slight darkening in her eyes:

"I suddenly have a bad feeling—"

"Although I don't know what kind of powerful strength Senior Yufeng will possess in this final battle..."

"But generally speaking, when faced with Senior Yufeng's claim of good luck with cards, one usually ends up suffering a terrible defeat..."

"It's entirely possible that you won't be able to play a single card at all..."

With a slightly worried look in the girl's eyes, at this very moment, Marufuji Ryo, who lost the match yesterday in the quarterfinals against Yufeng's 100,000 ATK [Source God] due to being forced to attack, has also arrived at the duel arena. At this moment, from the perspective of a spectator, he is staring intently at the 6-star [Ritual Monster] - [Divine Light Proclaimer] that is particularly eye-catching on Yufeng's field.

After completing the [Draw Phase] and entering his [Main Phase 1], Jaden Yuki immediately summoned the key card from his newly acquired [HERO] deck—[E-HERO Sky Warrior]—to the field in face-up attack position:

"First, as my trump card combo—I'll summon one [E-HERO Sky Warrior] from my hand in face-up attack position!"

That card, which is of paramount importance in both Edward's and Jaden's decks, is a crucial resource for acquiring cards. It also appears in the familiar pose of a powerful warrior riding the wind and swinging his fist downwards:

【E-HERO Skyman】

[Star rating: 4]

[Attribute: Wind]

[Race: Warrior]

[Attack power: 1800]

[Defense: 300]

Then, under everyone's gaze, Jaden Yuki, who was almost completely familiar with the [E-HERO] deck, immediately pointed to the [E-HERO Sky Warrior] card on the field and activated its effect:

"At this moment, I will directly use the power of [E-HERO Skyman]: When this card is successfully Normal or Special Summoned, you can add 1 [HERO] monster from your Deck to your hand."

Soon, as this powerful WIND [HERO] monster shone as if about to activate its effect, Yuuki smiled and pointed directly at the [Divine Announcer], which was in face-up Defense Position in the Front Row's Main Monster Zone, and immediately activated its effect:

"Wait, Judai!"

"At this moment, I will chain the effect of your [E-HERO Sky Warrior] to activate the effect of my [Divine Light Proclaimer]: When your opponent activates a monster effect, Spell Card, or Trap Card, you can send 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it."

In an instant, Yu Feng sent a Level 1 Fairy-Type monster card from his hand directly to the Graveyard.

The next second, Jaden Yuki's incredibly valiant warrior on the field was also instantly targeted. Just as it was about to be negated and destroyed, Jaden Yuki let out a soft sigh:

...

"Good heavens, it's Mitsuyasu, isn't it?! No wonder they released a 6-star ritual instead of the 12-star [Dragon Radiance Technician]..."

"I admit, sometimes the importance of the Three-Colored Yasushi is indeed far greater than killing my eldest brother..."

Accompanied by Jaden Yuki's soft sigh, seeing that one of his key cards was about to be directly countered, he helplessly opened his hand again, drawing a Quick-Play Spell card depicting a powerful [M-HERO] Masked Hero running under the rising sun, symbolizing the new power of the deck—[M-HERO]. He played the card:

"If you're going to blow it up, I'd rather just melt down my [E-HERO]!"

"I activate a Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand – Mask Change: You can target 1 HERO monster you control; send that monster to the Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 M-HERO monster with the same Attribute as that monster from your Extra Deck."

"So—I just melted down my [E-HERO Sky Knight] and replaced it with an [M-HERO Storm]. In the end, I didn't lose anything!"
