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

[Attribute: Dark]

[Race: Magician]

[Attack power: 2000]

[Defense: 1700]

...

Is this a cartoonish adaptation of the game "Dark Magician Girl"?

"I remember this card is with Youfeng right now, isn't it?"

Upon seeing that this card was summoned at the cost of releasing [Chimera Giant Dragon], Seto Kaiba glanced at Yuuki with slight surprise and astonishment.

"Um..."

You Feng nodded immediately and said helplessly:

"【Dark Magician Girl】was indeed given to me by the game as a symbol of friendship..."

"Rounding it up, it's like I was humiliated twice in person..."

...

As Youfeng sighed, a mysterious smile appeared on Pegasus's lips:

"Hmph... Youfeng boy, although your [Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End -] that will appear next round can undoubtedly blow me up!"

"But you don't have a next round!"

"At this moment, I will activate a [Normal Spell] card – [Toon Rewind]. This card can target 1 Toon monster you control. That monster can attack twice during the same Battle Phase this turn."

"Then, I will grant my [Cartoon Dark Magician Girl] the ability to launch a second attack, allowing her to make direct attacks on the field!"

Soon, as the magic card depicting a cartoon projector rewinding lit up in Pegasus's back row, Yufeng's face instantly darkened:

"Good grief, no wonder you wouldn't surrender even after I tried to persuade you to, were you planning to time your move and OTK me?!"

...

Then, accompanied by Youfeng's surprised voice, Pegasus indeed entered the battle phase.

But just as [Cartoon Dark Magician Girl] launched its attack, Yufeng also threw out a "useless" card from his hand – [Kite Robot]!

"Then, I'll just use my brother's card to tank this damage!"

"But then—it will be the moment of furious revenge for the [Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End -]!"

Soon, [Cartoon Dark Magician Girl] was able to bypass the monsters in the front field monster zone and attack.

Therefore, after being given a fierce two-hit combo by [Cartoon Rewind], its unique direct attack characteristic allowed Yuufu's [Kite Robot] to block the opponent's attack.

"Hmm... no wonder he's Yuuki-boy, who even Yugi and Kaiba can't defeat~"

After letting out a gasp of surprise, Pegasus, realizing that his three-pronged attack had failed and that he was almost completely unable to resist the Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End - under the Youfeng [Persuasion Dragon] system, shook his head slightly in reluctance and helplessly ended his turn.

"So now, I choose to end my turn..."

As the turn changed and it was his turn, Youfeng immediately played the effect of the God Card in his hand that had been modified and released from the Forbidden List—[Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End-]:

"Next, I will use the effect of this [Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End-]: It can only be Special Summoned by banishing 1 LIGHT monster and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard."

"Then I will perform a Special Summon in face-up Attack Position!"

"Come forth, Dragon Card, signifying absolute victory!"

Soon, as Yufeng waved his finger, a powerful Level 8 Dragon monster card that he had prepared in the previous turn, almost revealed to the player, was immediately thrown out from his hand.

A dazzling crimson-purple light quickly appeared in the main monster area of ​​the front field of Yufeng.

Then, a powerful four-legged dragon monster card, with a bright blue-green body inlaid with metal and hardened dragon bones, appeared, raising its head and roaring:

【Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End-】

[Race: Dragon]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Star rating: 8]

[Attack power: 3000]

[Defense: 2500]

The moment this card appeared on the field, Youfeng immediately activated its effect with great excitement:

"Based on this card's effect: During the turn this card's effect is activated, you cannot activate other effects."

"But it's alright—"

"This will be the only effect I activate, and also the last monster card I play:"

As a dazzling crimson-purple light filled the card face of this powerful dragon card that runs through Seto Kaiba's memories, a red light of LP payment immediately flashed above Yuuki's head under the projection of the [VR Duel Disk].

[Wind: LP4000→3000!]

"Once per turn, you can activate this effect by paying 1000 Life Points. Send all cards in both players' hands and on the field to the Graveyard. After that, inflict damage to your opponent equal to 300 for each card sent to their Graveyard by this effect."

"Although it requires a full 14 cards..."

"But this card can be used as a source of damage over a very wide range. If we take into account the cards in both of our hands, it can just right to send you straight into the abyss!"

In an instant, the power of this powerful dragon monster filled the entire field, and all the cards on the field, including the card itself, were sent to the graveyard.

Both parties were forced to discard all their cards.

Then, a massive wave of damage immediately surged towards Pegasus.

"what--"

After a scream, Pegasus, with his full head of silver hair, immediately fell to the ground in agony.

...

"President Kaiba, did you also add some strange function to your [VR Duel Disk] that can increase the damage taken by duelists?"

"Why do I feel like I've been electrocuted?"

The instant that Seto Kaiba frowned at him with a pained expression, as if questioning him, Seto Kaiba, dressed in a classic white trench coat, immediately snorted coldly and shook his head slightly:

"I didn't do anything so pointless..."

"But as for the strange harm you felt, I can explain it!"

Then, Seto Kaiba quickly turned his gaze to the area in the arena that should have been the location of Yuuki's grave.

At this moment, a silver [electronic dragon] was being outlined by the holographic image in this special laboratory, its golden eyes flashing with resentment as it glared angrily at Pegasus, who had been knocked down.

Its silvery-white metallic body still retained traces of electric current.

...

"...Hmm, so it's revenge from the card spirits?"

After Pegasus stood up from the ground with a slight sense of helplessness, Seto Kaiba immediately shut down the holographic system in the special laboratory as the match ended, and the figure of Cyber ​​Dragon suddenly disappeared.

"How about it... this system... it should be of great significance for the development of card spirits."

Accompanied by Seto Kaiba's proud voice, Yuuki, the International Illusion Society, and Pegasus, known as the "Father of Duel," all nodded seriously.

"It seems the era of LINK summoning will arrive very quickly..."

As Yu Feng let out a subconscious sigh, Pegasus, who had been studying the [VR Duel Disk], immediately tensed up and stared at Yu Feng in astonishment.

"What... Yufeng, you figured out how to effectively utilize the new summoning mode of the [Extra Monster Zone] so quickly?"

Seemingly inspired in that instant, Bex, who was stroking his chin, also suddenly brightened up, his eyes widening as if struck by a revelation, and then he murmured to himself:

"Hmm...link...that is, connection...I think I've got an idea..."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Pegasus once again fixed his gaze intently on You Feng's handsome face:

"You Feng, you really are a genius!"

...

Soon after having a preliminary idea, Pegasus immediately said goodbye, grabbed his notebook, and excitedly returned to his International Illusion Society.

Seto Kaiba glanced at Yuuki with great surprise, and sighed in equal astonishment:

"Wandering Wind..."

"Your genius-level ideas and mastery of card battles even made me feel at one point... that you were a being descended from beyond this era, born solely for dueling..."

"Although I hate to admit it, you've always given me a strong sense of destiny, and even the game itself feels this way..."

"Although you disappeared for a long time, we never gave up on defeating you."

"so--"

After letting out his signature cold snort with great emotion, this man who never admits defeat—Seto Kaiba—immediately gave Yuuki a meaningful look:

"...Don't even think about running away! The next time I see you, I'll definitely defeat you soundly! Youfeng!"

...

With Kaiba's deep voice accompanying him, Yuuka nodded immediately after a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Seto Kaiba also dispatched a private plane to send Yuuki back to the Duel Academy located on the island.

After returning to his "seaside dormitory" and resting briefly, You Feng immediately heard a system notification:

[Congratulations, host, on successfully defeating Pegasus. Furthermore, thanks to your intervention, the LINK progress in this timeline has been significantly accelerated.]

[A special reward will be unlocked for the host next—]

Soon, a deep blue card pack containing a brand-new power that had never appeared before was immediately displayed in front of Youfeng.

"...Hmm...as for a special reward..."

"This card pack isn't Xyz or Fusion; judging by the color alone, the blue is more like a Ritual deck... but the color is a deeper blue than that of Dragonfire Takumi..."

After a moment of slight surprise, Youfeng instantly realized what was happening:
