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

[Defense: 2500]

"What the hell?!"

"I never imagined you fused [Red Daddy] with this thing!"

With You Feng's expression of utter disbelief, the onlookers were instantly thrown into an uproar.

"Hmm, is this the powerful [Red Daddy] that Senior Yufeng melted down [Sky Dragon of Osiris] in the Duel City finals?!"

"To think that Mr. Game would pull it out at this crucial moment..."

"It really is true that fortunes change!"

"..."

Meanwhile, watching from the sidelines, "Blonde" Joey Wheeler was also driven to a fever pitch by the arrival of this [Red Daddy] card, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he exclaimed:

"Well, is the game going to take revenge on the spot?!"

"What's that saying again? A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years!"

"The entertainment value is off the charts!"

...

Witnessing the appearance of this powerful [Red Daddy], Youfeng shook his head helplessly and muttered a slight complaint:

"Good grief, so this is tit for tat, huh?!"

"But it doesn't matter, I'll bring out the 12-star all-resistance powerhouse of the [Slash] deck—[Flame Slash - Final Sigma]!"

"Just chop your Red Daddy down!"

132. All resistances with 8,000 attack power [Flame Slash Machine - Final Sigma]!

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng's excited voice, he immediately played a [Spell] card from his hand that surprised everyone:

"Now, at this moment, I will activate a Normal Spell Card from my hand—Pot of Greed!"

In an instant, a gloomy green pot containing a powerful monster card with a greedy human face was also floated in front of Youfeng.

"Well?!"

"Senior Youfeng actually used [Pot of Greed] to draw cards? That's really rare..."

Witnessing this scene, the "jellyfish-headed" boy, Jaden Yuki, who was watching the battle, was also slightly surprised to see this powerful card with absolute card-gaining ability, which was also almost a must-have for every member of the GX group. He then made a slight comment:

"...Generally speaking, for cards of the same type, Senior Youfeng would probably use a card like [Ace Grail] to take a gamble, right?"

...

As Jaden Yuki's voice drifted into the background, Katsuya Jonouchi, the "blonde-haired" guy sitting not far from the audience, nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

"Whether it's flipping a coin or rolling dice... they're both incredibly satisfying ways to duel!"

"Hahahaha!"

Amidst Jonouchi Katsu's hearty laughter, the curly-haired, sexy woman beside him, Mai Kujaku, frowned and gave Jonouchi a slightly disdainful look.

"Hey Nokia... your pure gambling addiction has no substance, right?"

"...But if that's the case, you're quite extraordinary, and you deserve an award..."

"Las Vegas is giving you the Best Gambling Freak Award!"

"..."

At that moment, accompanied by Kong Quewu's teasing and disdainful voice, everyone burst into hearty laughter.

...

However, at this moment, Jaden Yuki frowned slightly and asked with a hint of hesitation:

"However, right after Mr. Yugi Muto summoned that powerful and destructive [Red-Eyes Dragon Knight], is it really a good idea to face his three-color Konkuk?!"

Soon, just as Jaden Yuki glanced at Yuuki on the field with a hint of worry, Yuuki...

Yugi Muto, who Special Summoned Red Daddy directly from the Extra Deck using the effect of "Teasing the Snake" during Yuuki's turn, smiled and nodded:

"Is such that!"

"If we let Youfeng draw two cards at once, who knows what terrifying cards he'll get..."

"Therefore—I will activate the effect of [Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] on the field: Once per turn, when a Spell/Trap/Monster effect is activated, you can discard 1 card from your hand to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it, and this card gains 1000 ATK."

"I forbid you from opening the kettle!"

Accompanied by Yugi Muto's exhilarating voice and the card that was thrown into the graveyard as cost, the "Red-Eyes Dragon Knight" in the very center of the Main Monster Zone on the field quickly activated its effect.

Correspondingly, the Pot of Greed, which Youfeng played in the Spell & Trap Zone in the back row, was immediately negated, turning its face into a colorless gray-white, and then "bang," it exploded directly into the Graveyard.

...

"This is bad..."

Jun Manjou, who was watching from the sidelines, immediately shook his head, and his expression gradually became serious.

"...Judging from Senior Youfeng's previous performance, he probably hasn't had any cards that he can successfully combo with..."

"The only [Madoka] card seems to have been interrupted by Yugi's [Summon Limiter] when it was being deployed. This interruption looks crucial!"

Along with Asuka Tenjouin, who had also come to watch the match at this open-air duel arena, Hell Kaiser Ryo, the successor of Yuuki's [Electronic Style], stood at the back of the crowd, a similar trace of worry flashing across his face:

"teacher..."

...

Meanwhile, as his [Pot of Greed] was countered, Yufeng hesitated for a moment before playing another card with a similar sense of power, but with a pot formed by a green and purple tongue sticking out greedily. Also a [Normal Spell] card, [Pot of Greed and Greed] was played again:

"Muda muda (useless)!"

"I absolutely have to open this pot!"

"Even at the cost of my entire deck: I activate this [Pot of Greed and Gluttony] from my hand: I can activate it by banishing the top 10 cards of my deck face down. Draw 2 cards from my deck."

Along with a huge, eerie green aura rising from the open-air dueling arena by the sea, a pot composed of two-colored faces also rises once more.

Almost at the same instant, cards were ejected one by one from their main deck in their silver-white duel disk, and were all sucked into the pot by its power.

One by one, the cards were drawn into the jar by the immense magical power emanating from the top of the main deck. Then, two more cards popped out from the top of the main deck and were added to the player's hand.

...

"Good heavens, isn't this price far too high?!"

"Unless these two draws contain the key cards, but the probability... emmm..."

After a moment's thought, Jaden Yuki shook his head and muttered with a helpless expression:

"It seems that Senior Youfeng has completely offended the dealer today..."

Along with Jaden Yuki's soft sigh, Yuuki, who had just drawn two cards, immediately frowned, pointed at Jaden Yuki, and loudly rebuked him:

"Shut up, Judai!"

"The true duelist—everything is inevitable!"

Soon, accompanied by Youfeng's confident and excited voice, the two cards he had just drawn also emitted a golden glow.

...

"??? Really?! Yu Feng's sign is glowing!"

"No... it's that Senior Youfeng is completely glowing with gold!"

Asuka Tenjouin immediately let out a cry of surprise, while from a perspective unseen by the others, the [Sebadorgon] card spirit, who was floating in the air and forced to work, also cast a resentful glance at Yuuka.

At this very moment, Youfeng also played one of the non-[Slash Machine] Cyberse cards he had just drawn onto the field:

"Then, during my Main Phase 1, I will Normal Summon one Balanced Load King from my hand in face-up Normal Position!"

In an instant, accompanied by a blue, net-like light, a silver-white mechanical warrior wielding a sword and with a sluggish hand appeared in the main monster area in front of Yu Feng's field:

Load Balancing King

[Race: Cyberse]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 4]

[Attack power: 1700]

[Defense: 1200]

With the appearance of this Level 4 monster card, Yufeng immediately reached into his deck again, playing the second card he had drawn using "Pot of Greed." After pointing at "Balanced Load King" on the field and activating its effect, he immediately played the card in his hand:

“1回合1次，支付1000基本分才能发动。这个回合自己在通常召唤外加上只有1次，自己主要阶段可以把1只电子界族怪兽召唤！”

In an instant, a damage indicator of 1000 points lit up on Youfeng's Duel Disk:

[Wind: LP4000→3000!]

...

"Oh no... Youfeng's starting to hurt himself..."

"Things are starting to look a bit off..."

As Katsuya Jonouchi uttered his bewildered exclamation, Yugi Muto, the "starfish-headed" fighter currently battling Yuuki, immediately looked at Yuuki with anticipation:

"Then, Youfeng, come—show me your most powerful strength!"

With a smile playing on his lips and a gleam in his crimson eyes, Yu Feng immediately nodded. After paying LP as cost, he performed a second normal summon:

"Now, I will once again Normal Summon a powerful monster card from the [Slash] family in face-up Attack Position: [Slash-Nabra]!"

In an instant, a mechanical warrior dressed in dark purple with elegant gold accents appeared, wielding a European-style spear, as the second monster card of the game:

【Slash Machine - Nabra】

[Star rating: 4]
