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

"After Special Summoning Cyber ​​Dragon by effect, I will activate the effect of this card in my hand: Each player selects 1 monster on their field, and control of those monsters is exchanged. Those monsters cannot change their battle position this turn."

Soon, as Youfeng played this unique magic card, a scene appeared before him: a warrior in armor was selected by a circle composed of red, white, and blue arrows, signifying "transfer."

"And I will trade my [Cyber ​​Dragon] for your [Giant Warrior]!"

At that moment, as Yufeng activated the effect of this card, the powerful Machine monster [Ceba Drogon], which had just been summoned by Yufeng with high morale, seemed to have no idea that its master would use it in this way.

It immediately raised its metal head and turned to look at Youfeng with an extremely incredulous gaze.

...

Seeing this, the sharp-eyed Kyoko immediately noticed the change in the [Electronic Dragon] flashing with electric light on the wind field, and blinked in confusion:

"Hmm... Although this monster card is made entirely of mechanical structures, why do I seem to see an expression on its face..."

As Masaki Kyoko exclaimed in surprise, the blond-haired boy beside her, Jonouchi Katsuya, immediately turned his gaze to the mechanical dragon on the field and also let out a click of amazement:

"Hmm...yes...I saw it too...disbelief, melancholy, resentment, unwillingness..."

As Katsuya Jonouchi slowly "summarized," his face, beneath his blond hair, immediately and perfectly mimicked the changes in expression of [Sebadorgon] on the field.

Seeing Jonouchi's funny expression, the sexy woman next to him, Mai, couldn't help but burst out laughing. She then playfully punched Jonouchi on the shoulder, scolding him reproachfully:

"Pfft~ Jounouchi, Kyoko only showed you, she didn't ask you to imitate her. Be serious!"

...

But in that instant, the company president, Seto Kaiba, who was the chosen target of the effect, also seemed annoyed by the sudden situation. After a cold snort, he shook his head angrily and pointed his finger at Yuuki opposite him:

"Youfeng, stop making me laugh—"

“As I just said, this is ‘Kamida’, not a monster… My ‘Osiris the Tormentor’ is a ‘God Card’ and possesses extremely strong resistance… You cannot target it with your effect…”

"Therefore, your method is ineffective."

...

But before Seto Kaiba could finish his gruff protest, Yuuki, under everyone's watchful eyes, gently waved to the Cyber ​​Dragon in his own arena:

"Well... old friend—as a [Cyber ​​Flow] player who's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, sometimes the necessary sacrifices are worthwhile!"

"So! Charge! Bring me the [Giant Warrior]!"

In an instant, as Yuufu revealed his white teeth and gave a slight smile to his ace monster, Cyber ​​Dragon, the Normal Spell Card he played and activated on the field—Forced Transfer—also flashed and activated its effect.

The "resentful" Sebastian also instantly "teleported" with the "Obelisk the Tormentor" in Seto Kaiba's arena, changing the controller of both of them.

"Ah this?!"

"???"

"What happened?!"

After witnessing this astonishing situation unfold, everyone stared in shock at the changing circumstances.

The blond-haired boy, Katsuya Jonouchi, even rubbed his eyes twice before sighing in disbelief:

"Holy crap... Youfeng... how did he do that?! He actually ignored the resistance of [God]?!"

At that moment, amidst the crowd, Malik, the other duelist who actually controlled the [God Card] and knew just how powerful it was, also had a dark expression twisting in his face, seemingly even more dismayed than Kaiba himself, who had had [God Warrior] stolen.

"No, impossible! How could this be? This person actually lost focus?!"

"This must be some kind of illusion magic!"

...

Faced with this situation, seeing his [God Card] mercilessly destroyed by the Minotaur, Seto Kaiba felt a sudden surge of dizziness and his blood pressure spiked, yet he still roared and questioned Yuuki:

"Youfeng, explain to me how you bypassed the resistance of my [Colossus]!"

Meanwhile, amidst Seto Kaiba's angry shouts, even Katsuya Jonouchi momentarily suspected that Yuuki was "cheating" in the face of this absurd situation.

Everyone looked at You Feng with suspicion in their eyes.

...

At this moment, Youfeng, who had become the "target of public criticism," shook his head nonchalantly:

"It's simple... Although the Colossus has strong resistance to non-targeting, we can just use non-targeting effects to counter it."

"Moreover—my [Forced Transfer] even affects the player..."

"It's mandatory~"

Accompanied by the soft, melancholic sound of the wind, the company president, Seto Kaiba, clenched his teeth tightly at this moment.

"Why do I have this feeling that this is going to turn into 'Mortal Kombat'? Kaiba, don't be impulsive..."

"—After all, this is a [God Card] that got stolen!"

Along with Katsuya Jonouchi's seemingly insincere words of persuasion, which seemed to add fuel to the fire, Seto Kaiba, who was extremely angry, glared fiercely at the "yellow-haired boy."

The latter even innocently shrugged and said, "Seahorse, believe me, my sister has malicious intent."

...

However, after receiving a reasonable explanation from Yuuki and confirming that this was indeed an effect that complied with the rules, Seto Kaiba nodded politely and did not say anything more.

After making a "please" gesture, he held the cards in one hand and put the other in his pocket, coldly waiting for the game to continue.

Faced with the opponent's "invitation," Youfeng didn't hesitate at all and directly played the powerful [Magic] card he had drawn this turn, which depicted an explosion:

"Then, at this very moment, I will directly activate a special [Fusion] type Spell Card - [Overload Fusion]: Banish the Fusion Material Monsters specified from a Machine/DARK Fusion Monster Card from your field/Graveyard, and Fusion Summon that Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck."

"In other words, this powerful monster card can be fused directly from the graveyard!"

"At this moment, I will directly use the powerful [Fusion] force to summon my elder brother, the one from the Inner Electron Stream."

"With the support of two high-ATK monsters in a row, your Cyber ​​Dragon is currently unable to change its battle position due to the effect of Forced Transfer..."

"Accept the divine punishment for your transgressions! KAI↗BA↘!"

"..."

[Electronic Dragon]: Please, Youfeng, have some decency... You're going to beat me up after abandoning me, huh?

46. ​​I fried and ate the Giant Warrior!

As Youfeng's voice rang out, the [Overload Fusion] he unleashed instantly triggered a series of explosive sounds.

Youfeng also took the opportunity to directly retrieve a thick stack of graveyard resources from his silver-white duel disk:

"Although at this moment, my [Cyber ​​Stream] deck still holds many powerful monster cards dormant, but—"

"At this moment, in this situation, I still have to bring out the only [Fusion] three-color counter from my [Unified Cyber ​​Flow] deck!"

In an instant, Youfeng also directly retrieved four dark-themed [Reverse Cyber ​​Stream] low-level monster cards from his graveyard:

"At this moment, I will use the following five Cyber ​​Dark Effect Monsters as materials for a Cyber ​​Dark Summon: Cyber ​​Dark Horn, Cyber ​​Dark Blade, Cyber ​​Dark Bone, Cyber ​​Dark Cannon, and Cyber ​​Dark Claw—"

Soon, as Youfeng banished five cards from his graveyard, he immediately returned them to his Duel Disk. Then, he reached for his Extra Deck, revealing it to the crowd. Amidst the flashing gazes of the onlookers, he unleashed the familiar crimson Fusion Monster card—a combination of Machine and Dragon powers—onto the field.

"Come out!"

"Descending with unparalleled DARK electronic power, my trump card—[Cyberdarkness-Dragon]!!!"

[Armored Prison Dragon-Electronic Dark Dragon]

[Star rating: 10]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 2000]

[Defense: 2000]

"roar~"

Accompanied by a powerful, crimson-purple figure, the five monster forms mentioned above were gathered together. The powerful machine-type monster behind it, with its dragon cannon brimming with scarlet power, also appeared on the field, surging with immense electronic and dark power.

"Hmm...that, that cannon dragon?!"

In an instant, upon seeing this powerful 10-star fusion monster appear, Jonouchi Katsuya, who had been attacked by "Painful Memories," also exclaimed with a twisted expression:

"If even this monster manages to make its appearance, even Kaiba would be instantly defeated, right?"

Amidst Katsuya Jonouchi's complex expression, Yugi Muto's expression flickered slightly for a moment:

"But... is it really appropriate to send the [Cyber ​​Dragon] family to the graveyard for the sake of victory, and now even exclude them...?"

But upon hearing his companion's words, Katsuya Jōnouchi fell silent for a moment before patting his friend on the shoulder:

"Yugi... Yuuki... you two... you really are two completely different types of duelists..."

"Don't even mention exceptions... Youfeng once said that 'machine races don't feel pain'..."

"A terrifying duelist who would even stab himself for the sake of victory!"

As Katsuya Jonouchi expressed his deep feelings, Mai and the others present nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a short, long-haired boy who had been silently watching in the arena immediately reminded his older brother, Seto Kaiba, with a serious expression:

"Brother... watch out, this is that wretched mechanical dragon that can take away the opponent's [Dragon] monster!"

...

Upon hearing Seto Kaiba, who had just had his [God Card] taken away by the cow and was nodding slightly in response to his reminder, Yuuki shrugged slightly and pointed his finger back towards his grave:

"Although you currently have a [Cyber ​​Dragon] with 2100 attack power on your field, if I attack it directly, I'll be just 100 damage short..."

"But next, I will use the effect of [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] to equip a [Cyber ​​Dragon] with the same ATK from my graveyard, and I can OTK you in one turn!"

"KAI↗BA↘!"

Just as Youfeng, who seemed to have victory completely in his grasp, smiled as he saw a finger pointing towards his graveyard, about to activate the effect of [Armored Dragon - Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] on the field again.

Seto Kaiba, on the other side, shook his head slightly:

"Wait, Yufeng..."

At that instant, the mysterious face-down card that Seto Kaiba had placed in the back row in the previous turn also flickered for a moment.
