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

"4000 attack points... It seems no monster could withstand such an attack..."

"Kid, I definitely underestimated you!"

"Humph..."

After letting out a low, indifferent snort, the Card Hunter looked again at one of his monster cards on the field, and then revealed a relaxed smile once more:

"However, luckily I set a monster card on the field. That way... no matter how high your monster's attack power is, you can't defeat me directly!"

"And I am very confident that after a round of deduction, I will be able to collect the last piece of [Exodia] in my hand. At that time, all your efforts will be in vain!"

With the man's roar, the expression on his face, which had been trembling slightly due to the arrival of the [Electronic Terminator Dragon], returned to a fierce and unyielding one.

...

"Sorewadokana (Is that really true?)~"

Faced with the man's powerful raised fist, a slight smile flashed across You Feng's originally indifferent face:

"Then let me try throwing a punch!"

Soon after completing the Fusion Summon, Yufeng immediately entered the battle phase. His deep-setted finger pointed at a face-down monster card on the opponent's Card Hunter's field, commanding the powerful Level 10 Fusion Monster, Cyber ​​End Dragon, to attack.

"Now, let's move directly into the battle phase!"

"Sebastian Dorgagon!"

Amidst the soaring wind, the three-headed mechanical dragon immediately responded with an electronic roar: "Roar~"

Seeing the [Cyber ​​Ultimate Dragon] instantly enter battle mode at his command, Yufeng nodded with great satisfaction and exclaimed in admiration:

"Very good, very energetic!"

After praising the powerful monsters wielding three dragon heads in the arena, Youfeng officially launched his attack:

"Attack by targeting the opponent's face-down monster cards—"

"Explode them! [Eternal-Evolution-Burst (Light of Eternal Evolution)!!!]"

The next second, the [Electronic Ultimate Dragon] also brandished its three huge dragon heads, let out a roaring electronic howl, and then spat out beams of focused light like missiles from its mouth.

Ultimately, it coalesced into an unparalleled offensive force, instantly striking the monster cards in the Card Hunter's front row.

...

"useless!"

In the face of this sudden and incredibly powerful attack, the Card Hunter, as the target, calmly flipped his cards over from the field—

A miniature version of the Dark Mage, Exodia, immediately appeared before everyone:

[True Exodia]

[Star rating: 1]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Race: Magician]

[Attack power: 0]

[Defense: 0]

Upon seeing this cartoonish version of the monster card, almost a scaled-down version of [Exodia], the girl among the three spectators, Anzu Masaki, slowly nodded and frowned as she spoke to Yugi Muto:

"As expected... Jonouchi was right, they really did pirate your game [Exodia]..."

"..."

As Masaki Kyoko's serious voice rang out, "Yellow-haired boy" Joey Wheeler, who had already suffered a setback with his deck stolen by the Card Hunter using [Exzodia], couldn't hold back any longer and burst into profanity the moment he saw the monster appear:

"??? Oh my god..."

"This is totally a fake card, isn't it? It's one thing for you to use Exodia from a pirated game, but you even dare to print fake cards out of thin air?!"

"How shameless!"

"..."

After the outburst of profanity within the City of Youthful Spirits, You Feng, who was launching the attack, although somewhat surprised, still nodded slightly.

"This card does exist, but it's not an N-rank card; it's a very rare card..."

"In reality, no one would be willing to take out such a rare card as the [Red Shard] to play cards, right?"

After a slight doubt, and considering that the other party was the Gurus Group, which had no moral bottom line and engaged in large-scale pirated card printing, Youfeng did not say anything further.

...

But at this moment, seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, the Card Hunter immediately revealed a smug smile:

"That's right, your [Electronic Terminator Dragon] is very strong, even far beyond my imagination, but this time—even with my offense and defense both at 0, you still can't do anything to me at all... Hehehe..."

Soon, with his 0 ATK/DEF monster "resisting" the opponent's 4000 ATK "Cyber ​​Dragon: End Dragon", the card player from the Gurus Group instantly revealed a mocking smile.

But just as everyone clenched their fists in righteous indignation, some even felt indignant on behalf of Youfeng.

The onslaught of [Cyber ​​Ender Dragon] was swift and devastating, striking the cartoonish [Exodia]—[True Exodia]—once it was destroyed in battle and sent to the graveyard...

A full 4000 points of damage instantly lit up on the Card Hunter's Duel Disk.

[Card Hunter: LP 4000 → 0!]

...

"Ah~"

As this immense force, imbued with rage, struck the Card Hunter's body, it instantly unleashed a surge of electric current.

The card hunter, knocked down by the massive impact, let out a painful scream, his entire body twisting in agony.

...

At that very moment, everyone, including Yugi Muto, Katsuya Jonouchi, and Kyoko Masaki... and even the other two card hunters clad in black robes, were stunned and completely dumbfounded.

"???"

"What happened?!"

"Why does he also deal damage to defensive monsters?!"

"..."

Amidst the astonished gasps of the crowd, only Katsuya Jonouchi immediately displayed a mysterious, exaggerated smile.

"Wow, you're cheating?! All I can say is, well done! You can't go easy on those guys!"

...

Seeing everyone's astonishment, You Feng smiled gently and explained:

"No, this isn't cheating. It's just that when [Cyber ​​Dragon] attacks a Defense Position monster, it inflicts battle damage on that monster by a value exceeding its Defense Points... This is what's commonly known as a 'defense penetration' effect!"

As the sound of wind rustling through the alley echoed, Yugi Muto took a deep breath and finally couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"Penetrating armor?! So that's how it is... Okay... Judging from this, this [Cyber ​​Terminator Dragon] is far stronger than Kaiba's [Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon] with its ordinary bones..."

6.10 stars, 4000 attack with armor penetration, is this some kind of electronic god?

Then, with a clean and decisive OTK, Youfeng ended the battle. At this moment, whether it was the three people watching the battle openly or the crowd watching from the shadows in the card shop, everyone was stunned.

In an instant, under the influence of the atmosphere of the scene, a long, drawn-out exclamation rang out:

"Oh~"

"A 10-star monster with 4000 attack and armor penetration—what a deluxe-level monster card this is..."

"Even with four Exodia pieces on the opponent's first turn, they still couldn't win?!"

"That's outrageous..."

"..."

Amidst the sighs of the crowd, the card hunter from the Gurus Group, who had been knocked down, struggled to his feet in a disheveled state, even managing to protect his card box with one hand in his haste.

Two other men, also dressed in black robes, quickly approached, relying on their years of experience plundering cards together, attempting to protect their companion as they fled.

But the next second... just as the Card Hunter was about to stand up, a leather boot immediately stepped on his chest.

"Good grief, you think you can just run away after losing? That won't do!"

Seeing that the three guys from the Gurus Group were all trying to run away, Youfeng said with a hint of disdain:

"I told you, I have no interest in any of your junk cards. Hand over that [Red-Eyes Black Dragon] card right now."

Accompanied by Youfeng's merciless mockery and contempt, Card Hunter's face instantly turned red, his expression filled with anger.

"Damn it... Do you know what you're doing?! If you provoke the Gurus Group, you'll be in endless trouble!"

Unfazed by the man's threatening voice, Youfeng intensified his downward stomp, causing the burly but clearly defeated Card Hunter to gasp in pain.

"Get the hell off your stinky feet!"

While roaring angrily, the Card Hunter also turned his displeased gaze to his two companions beside him:

"What are you two standing there for? If the honor of the Gurus Group is damaged, you two will also be severely punished, won't you?!"

Under the almost roaring command, the two men in black, clearly obeying the card hunter, nodded as if waking from a dream, immediately rolled up their sleeves, and raised their fists as if they wanted to deliver a heavy blow to the young man, Youfeng, in front of them:

"Boy, how dare you trample the Gurus Group under your feet? Are you tired of living?!"

But just as the fist was about to touch You Feng's cheek, the boy bent down and delivered a powerful counter-punch, hitting the man's liver directly in the abdomen.

Before transmigrating, You Feng was a part-time boxer. Although his body was not as strong as it was before the transmigration, his excellent fighting skills played a crucial role at this moment.

In an instant, the pain from the "burning liver" made him unable to stand up.

"Pfft, you guys are so weak..."

In the instant that another merciless mocking voice rang out, the other man in black, clearly enraged, also roared and charged towards Youfeng.

Just as Youfeng assumed a defensive fighting stance, a yellow object flew over from the sky not far away.
