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

[Defense: 0]

"Then, I activate the effect of [Slash-Mount] in my Graveyard: If this card is sent to the Graveyard, you can target 1 of your Cyberse monsters in the Extra Monster Zone. That monster's ATK becomes double until the end of this turn."

In an instant, the moment the [Slasher - Riding] card, which had been sent to the graveyard as material for this [Synchro] summon, was revealed and lit up, Yuuka immediately chose the 12-star [Slasher] main character [Flame Slasher - Final Sigma] in the front row as the target for attack power boost.

"Since my [Flame Slash Machine - Final Sigma] attack power has already been increased to 4000 points, it will reach 8000 points on top of that!"

In an instant, accompanied by the sound of surging wind, the powerful [Slash] card, seemingly capable of slicing and burning everything, standing at the pinnacle of [Synchro], flashed, its attack power continuing to increase:

【Flame Slasher - Final Sigma】

[Attack power: 4000→8000]

[Defense: 0]

...

"Senior Youfeng... he really did it!"

As Asuka Tenjouin exclaimed in surprise, Katsuya Jonouchi, the blond-haired boy in the audience, quickly scratched his head.

"However, if the game's [Dragon Eggs] cannot be selected as attack targets... then there's simply no way to attack a game that only has [Dragon Eggs]..."

"In that case, no matter how high the attack power soars, it's completely meaningless!"

Along with Katsuya Jonouchi's questioning voice, Yugi Muto, who was on the field at that moment, also took a deep breath, then looked at the golden dragon egg in front of him with great reassurance, and said with a smile:

"If that's indeed the case, then, Yuuki..."

"In that case..."

"Before you, there exists a perfectly defended Wailing Wall!"

Amidst the soft voice of "Starfish Head," the onlookers nodded slightly at the same moment.

But the next second—

"Solvador Kana (that's not necessarily true)!"

As a confident smile appeared on his lips, Youfeng immediately entered his battle phase:

"Then let's cut the crap out of me. I'll just use my 8000-attack-power [Flame Slash - Final Sigma] to chop down your [Dragon Egg]!"

In that instant, as Yugi Muto's monster cards on the field were selected for their effects, a hint of surprise flashed across the face of the previously composed "starfish-headed" duelist:

"No...impossible! Youfeng...what did you do?!"

"Clearly—[Ra's Winged Divine Dragon - Spherical] cannot be selected as a target!"

As Yugi Muto exclaimed in surprise, Yuuki calmly shook his head:

"AIBO! It seems you still don't quite understand the true meaning of 'All-Resistant Big Brother'. Unaffected by other cards, it can break through the attack limit of your 'Dragon Egg'!"

"and--"

"My [Flame Slash Machine - Final Sigma] also has an extra monster zone. This card can double the battle damage dealt to your opponent when battling their monsters."

"That means this strike will deal a critical hit damage of 16,000!"

Amidst the startling and unsettling sounds of Yuuyuki's words, Yugi Muto's body trembled slightly.

...

"This is way too strong! It even managed to defeat Kamida..."

"For the game... we should play it safe and take a defensive stance!"

Along with a slightly regretful exclamation from "Blonde" Castle, Seto Kaiba shook his head in shock:

"It's useless. When an effect is completely beyond the duelist's comprehension, it's impossible to defend against it no matter what..."

"Even if I'm lucky enough to defend against it, this powerful 12-star all-resistance card... I still can't deal with it..."

"Failure seems inevitable..."

Accompanied by Seto Kaiba's rough, deep voice, everyone nodded in astonishment:

"So that's what it is..."

...

But at that very moment, Yugi Muto, who was on the dueling platform, also looked at Yuuki with admiration:

"I see..."

"You Feng, you're so strong! You're too strong..."

Upon hearing those familiar lines, You Feng's lips twitched instantly, and his face darkened slightly.

"AIBO...you didn't cover something weird last round, did you?"

Just as Yuuki's face was filled with suspicion, a smile reappeared on Muto Yugi's lips:

"Now, at this moment in the battle phase, I will activate the Normal Trap card—Spell Cylinder—that is face-down in the Magic Trap Zone in the back row!"

In an instant, a red, eerie card depicting a creature capable of absorbing everything and retaliating was immediately displayed before Youfeng.

Yugi Muto immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:

"However—luckily, I'm a cut above the rest!"

"This card's effect: You can activate this effect when your opponent declares an attack. Negate the attack of 1 opponent's monster and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that monster's ATK."

"So, Youfeng, even without 16,000 damage, 8000 points is enough for me to turn the tide and win!"

As Yugi Muto's innocent, toothy smile revealed his true nature, everyone shook their heads with a slight sigh.

"As expected... card duels are simply a battle where two people draw cards and play them, with Yugi Muto ultimately emerging victorious..."

"The underworld...it's truly the underworld..."

"I would call him the King of Heavy Pit!"

134. Night Star God of Machines: Ascend mechanically in the form of self-composed sacred music!

But just as everyone was somewhat shocked by Yugi Muto's sudden opening of a Magic Cylinder from the back,

Faced with this iconic scene that could make almost any duelist's brain bleed, at this decisive moment, accompanied by the blazing slash of [Flame Slash Machine - Final Sigma], whose attack power had soared to 8000 on the Wind Field, the attack power was considered to be 0, so at this moment, due to the special effect of [Flame Slash Machine - Final Sigma], the attack power was doubled.

To everyone's astonishment, it unexpectedly lit up on Yugi Muto's Duel Disk.

【Muto Game: 4000 → 0! 】

"Ah~"

With this sudden and devastating blow, Yugi Muto, whose damage was enough to sever four full health bars in one strike, was immediately thrown into pain by the shockwave and fell onto the Egyptian-style dueling platform in the open-air arena.

"Why...why?"

"What? My [Magic Cylinder] has stopped working too?"

"..."

Along with Yugi Muto's puzzled voice, Yuuka quickly smiled and shook his head slightly:

"AIBO...it seems you still don't fully understand the true significance of [All Resistance] in the current dueling environment..."

"The so-called 'unaffected by other cards' means that—not only are they not restricted by the effects of cards like [Radiant Dragon - Sphere], but also by effects like your [Magic Cylinder]: When an opponent's monster declares an attack, you can target 1 attacking monster. Negate that attacking monster's attack and inflict damage to your opponent equal to that attack power."

"Because I have full resistance, the effect of your first half of the attack being nullified cannot pass, so the damage dealt to the opponent by the subsequent counterattack cannot continue to be calculated."

"so--"

Accompanied by Yu Feng's soft voice, Jaden Yuki, nicknamed "Jellyfish Head," immediately analyzed as if he had grasped the meaning:

"In this case... while this [Magic Cylinder] can be the key to turning the tide of battle most of the time... it's practically useless in this situation..."

As Jaden Yuki sighed, everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their own sentiments.

"It seems Mr. Yugi Muto is really unlucky..."

"First, he summoned his absolute trump card, the Sky Dragon of Osiris, but it was immediately taken away by a bull..."

"Then, Mr. Yugi Muto miraculously drew the [Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere], which devoured the [Sky Dragon of Osiris] that had been taken by the bull..."

"However—this ironically became a crucial condition for Yuuka-senpai to defeat Mr. Muto Yugi..."

Amidst the continuous exclamations, the young girl, Asuka Tenjouin, seemed to suddenly realize something and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Hmm... There's a rumor circulating that Mr. Game's [Sky Dragon of Osiris] is a [Traitor Dragon], and it does seem to make some sense!"

...

As Asuka Tenjōin's slightly teasing voice rang out, at the same instant, in the front row, "Blonde" Katsuya Jonouchi, who had witnessed Yuuki's victory over his close friend Yugi Mutō once again and was feeling somewhat dejected, was also suddenly stunned:

"You mean, the traitor Long?!"

As Katsuya Jonouchi spoke in an exaggerated tone, Asuka Tenjouin, the girl being questioned, was suddenly taken aback.

"Ah, well, I've only heard about that..."

Seeing the girl's astonished expression, Mai, the sexy curly-haired woman next to Jonouchi, deftly tugged at Jonouchi's sleeve:

"...You idiot, you scared her!"

But the next second—

Even Katsuya Jonouchi's originally serious expression revealed a hint of "facial expression":

"Hahahaha~"

Amidst a burst of laughter, Katsuya Jonouchi glanced at Yugi Muto on the field again and remarked with great emotion:

"Thinking about it, it really is quite fitting!"

"Last time it was melted down by You Fengkou, this time it turned into a dragon egg and got slashed and critically hit..."

"With this dragon appearing, the game will definitely be lost to Youfeng!"

...

Amidst Jonouchi's loud laughter, Yuuka shook his head helplessly and stepped forward to help up "Starfish Head" Yugi Muto, who looked slightly dejected after losing this friendly match.

"Game, are you alright?"
