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

"Youfeng..."

After witnessing such a shocking double defeat, "Yellow-haired boy" Katsuya Jonouchi also opened his mouth in disbelief at the shocking scene.

Jonouchi also muttered a slight complaint:

"You Feng... he really doesn't know how to cherish women..."

As Jonouchi jokingly teased, Seto Kaiba, who was not far away, immediately frowned, stared at Jonouchi beside him, and let out a disdainful laugh:

"Are you kidding me? In the middle of a duel... you're talking to me about showing mercy to women?!"

"A fool is a fool indeed, and a mortal is a mortal indeed..."

"It's beyond cure..."

Accompanied by Seto Kaiba's extremely disgusted gaze, Katsuya Jonouchi's face instantly darkened: "Kaiba, what did you say?!"

22. Youfeng, why do you have [Catapult Turtle] in your deck?!

The next second, upon seeing the appearance of Yuufu's powerful [Cyber ​​Twin Dragons], Seto Kaiba was almost certain that the duel would be a foregone conclusion. Without even leaving the castle, he shook his head and left on his own.

...

"Hmm... As expected of a powerful duelist who can help Kaiba specify the rules... Is he really able to understand the judgment of effects to this extent?"

Faced with Yuufu's powerful Fusion counterattack, which ignored the blocking effect of her backrow Trap Cards, Mai Kongque shook her head in fear as she looked at the massive monster with a whopping 2800 attack points on its panel, which resembled two powerful Cyber ​​Dragons fused together.

"With 2800 ATK, there's indeed no monster in my deck right now that can get past your powerful [Cyber ​​Twin Dragon], but—"

Soon, after glancing briefly at her current hand of cards, Mai Kongque revealed a desperate, almost desperate, smile:

"Wind, I still have a monster card in my deck that can turn the tide of battle—"

"My turn, draw a card!"

The moment a new monster card entered the girl's hand, Mai quickly displayed it to Yuuki:

"Look, Yufeng, I've already drawn the only monster card that can defeat you—[Hawk Lady's Pet Dragon]!"

A distinct dragon aura instantly filled the open space.

"Huh?! Dragons?"

To the slight surprise of Jonouchi, the monster card in Mai's hand immediately revealed a red dragon with an emerald on its head and a collar around its neck that conveyed a sense of subjugation. A golden chain was being held by a cute girl dressed in black with long orange hair and white wings, known as the "Hawk Girl," representing a Level 7 monster.

"This powerful 7-star monster has the power to increase ATK/DEF by 300 for each [Divine Eagle] on the field."

"So, all I need to do now is wait for the right opportunity, draw out enough [Divine Eagle Monster] cards, and then summon them to surpass you in attack power!"

"But before that—"

"I choose to switch the [Three Sisters of the Eagle] on the field to defense and place a monster card face down in defense position in the front row!"

"If your [Cyber ​​Twin Dragons] only has two chances to attack in a row... you have absolutely no chance to remove me in one turn!"

After making what could be considered the "best defense" at that moment, Mai took a deep breath and focused her gaze on the 7-star Dragon monster in her hand:

"This way, I'll have enough time to create a suitable opportunity for [the Eagle Lady's Pet Dragon] to make its appearance!"

Soon, after making a final effort, the peacock dance also chose to end the current round:

"Now, end my turn."

...

Seeing the final effort that Kongquewu made after careful consideration, Youfeng nodded slightly:

"If you're going for a beat-the-beater strategy... and your deck doesn't have monster cards with higher damage output than your opponent's... then it can be quite tough..."

"Peacock Dance, I really feel sorry for you."

"However, that [Pet Dragon] card, I remember even Yugi Muto almost lost to it, it's definitely a very powerful monster card..."

"..."

At this moment, after a slight sigh, You Feng reached for the Duel Disk and immediately began his card-drawing phase:

"My turn, draw a card!"

The moment a magic card with a faint blue hue entered his hand, Youfeng smiled slightly and chose to play it:

"First up is a [Heavenly Treasure Card]. Let's each draw six cards from our hands. Sorry, I drew a full six!"

Soon, with his finger slightly extended over the main deck of the Duel Disk, Yufeng drew six new cards in succession.

"I refuse to believe it! I'm a [Cyber ​​Dragon] Soul Card player, and I can't even get [Cyber ​​Dragon] after drawing six times in a row! Let me see... Damn, it really won't let me get [Cyber ​​Dragon]!"

In an instant, looking at the unique, colorful "abstract" scene in his hand, Youfeng's face darkened, and he almost wanted to shout "The perfect handbook!"

...

Seeing Yufeng's extremely embarrassed expression, Jonouchi couldn't help but burst out laughing... But out of consideration for Yufeng's "face," the "blonde-haired boy" Jonouchi coughed twice and said with a hint of "regret":

"Pfft... I've almost emptied my main deck and still haven't drawn [Cyber ​​Dragon]?!"

"It seems like this will prevent me from regaining my soul..."

"That means we won't get to see the powerful electronic dragon... What a pity..."

"..."

Just as Youfeng could even detect a hint of teasing in Orange Juice's tone, a 5-star "Turtle" flashed in Youfeng's hand among the 6 cards he had drawn.

Yu Feng: "It's okay. Although I didn't get Cyber ​​Dragon, I did get the precious Turtle!"

In that instant, accompanied by the soft, melodious sound of the wind, both Jonouchi and Mai, the two duelists dressed in blond hair, were momentarily stunned:

"What did you say? Turtle... huh? Turtle?!"

"That thing is in the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck?!"

...

In an instant, Jonouchi and Mai exchanged a glance, and immediately fell into a strange association with the turtle that Yuuki had mentioned.

"Hmm, it's very likely a nickname for some kind of [fusion] monster... It's ridiculous that he called the [Chimera Fortress Dragon] a tire dragon..."

But amidst Jonouchi's deep complaints, unexpectedly, Mai Kujaku beside him widened her eyes, crossed her arms, and looked at Jonouchi with great dissatisfaction:

"??? Don't you think the name 'Tire Dragon' is very fitting? The key is, it's super cool, okay?!"

...

Meanwhile, in the midst of this bizarre scene of a man and a woman walking side by side, Youfeng, who was in the middle of his turn, nodded and quickly played a 1-star Machine-type miniature monster card:

"Now I'll discard a monster from my hand to activate its effect, and Special Summon 'Cyber ​​Dragon Next Star' in face-up Attack Position!"

In an instant, a brand new card representing the [Cyber ​​Dragon] series appeared on the field:

【Electronic Dragon - Next Generation Star】

[Star rating: 1]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 200]

[Defense: 200]

Just as Jonouchi and Mai Kujaku simultaneously fixed their gazes on this small yet promising Cyber ​​Dragon monster card, Yuuki smiled and pulled out another monster card:

"Then, I'm going to play this crucial card—I'll sacrifice [Cyber ​​Dragon - Next Planet] and summon [Squirtle]!"

In an instant, a 5-star turtle monster carrying an airplane catapult runway on its back appeared in Youfeng's arena:

【Eject Turtle】

[Star rating: 5]

[Attribute: Water]

[Race: Water]

[Attack power: 1000]

[Defense: 2000]

The monster that suddenly appeared was a sight to behold. Both Jonouchi, who was watching the battle, and Mai, who was Yuuka's opponent, were stunned and stood frozen in place.

This time, it was Jonouchi who reacted first, frowning and asking with a look of "something is very wrong":

"Youfeng...what exactly do you want?!"

"Don't scare me!"

"..."

23. Pain? The mechanical race feels no pain! Fire!

Meanwhile, "Blonde Hair" Jonouchi Katsuya's face was filled with disbelief.

You Feng nodded slightly, glancing at the two [Divine Eagle Maidens] who were in a defensive stance in the Peacock Dance arena, and nodded slightly as well:

"Indeed, Mai, I admit you are very strong."

"Right now, I really can't get past your situation in a short time..."

"But have you ever considered that I could completely ignore your field of influence..."

At this point in his speech, a meaningful smile instantly appeared on Youfeng's lips, who had one hand in his pocket:

"I firmly believe that when it comes to duels, it's more efficient to eliminate the duelists themselves than to resolve the situation on the field!"

...

In that instant, Katsuya Jonouchi, finally understanding what Yuuka was about to do, quickly walked from Mai's side to Yuuka's side, extended his hands, and cautiously said:

"Don't be like this, Youfeng...we can talk things out..."

"If you do that, your monster will cry!"

Even a Sebastián can shed tears, right?!
