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

Soon, as everyone's expressions, like Yugi Muto's at that moment beneath his "starfish head" hair, became extremely complex and even somewhat surprised, Jonouchi's previously muttered voice also became full of hesitation. After a moment, he finally let out a gasp as if he had discovered something.

This prompted Seto Kaiba, the trench coat-wearing boy not far away, to let out a cold snort:

"Hmph...you figured it out faster this time..."

"So even mortals can improve..."

...

Amidst Seto Kaiba's soft, teasing voice, at that very moment, Yuuki immediately drew a green magic card from his hand and played it onto the field:

"Now I'll activate one 'Electronic Emergency Call' card from my hand~"

"Then--"

Soon, a magic card flashed before everyone's eyes, depicting a plane that seemed to have been shot down in battle and was rapidly flying, seemingly sending out an emergency distress signal.

In that instant, Youfeng didn't even bother searching for the card's effect. Instead, he pointed directly to the newly summoned card in his front row, known as "Red Daddy"—"Red-Eyes Dragon Knight"—and activated its effect:

"Right now, at this very moment when my own spell card is activated, since my [Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] doesn't have any requirements regarding the activation target, I'm fucking directly negating myself!"

In that instant, Yufeng immediately discarded the Cyber ​​Dragon monster he had just shown to everyone as the cost of activating the three-color combo of Red-Eyes Dragon Knight from his hand.

...

"My God, Youfeng...you're a true genius!"

With a stunned exclamation from Jonouchi, and then, realizing what Yuuka was doing, his expression immediately sharpened, and he shook his head, muttering a slight complaint:

"But... what kind of ultimate card disadvantage is this? Using Cyber ​​Dragon as cost like this, even a Machine-type Cyber ​​Dragon would cry..."

Just as Jonouchi's "serious" voice was giving advice, a stern voice immediately rang in his ears:

"Jounouchi, shut up!"

...

Soon, seeing that everyone seemed to be reciting the line along with Yu Feng, Masaki Kyoko and Kujaku Mai exchanged a smile, and the atmosphere in the air became a bit more lively.

"what the hell..."

After a brief complaint, Jonouchi Katsuya immediately scratched his blond hair and pouted with a depressed expression.

[Cyber ​​Dragon]: Jonouchi, shut up!

...

Just as everyone relaxed slightly, the card that had been on the field was instantly destroyed as the [Super Magical Dragon Knight - Red-Eyes Dragon Knight] activated its effect.

At the same time, after negating its own card's effect, the black-armored mage, resembling a dragon in disguise, immediately flashed with a red light, and its attack power rapidly increased.

[Super Magical Dragon Knight-True Red-Eyed Dragon Knight]

Attack Power: 3000 →

4000]

...

Seeing Yuu's unconventional and seemingly "crazy" actions, Muto (Dark) Yugi felt a sense of helplessness and shook his head slightly.

Although he, as the Pharaoh, possessed the ability to guarantee a draw, it seemed... Yufeng didn't even give him a chance to print a card.

Meanwhile, seeing that the upgraded health had reached 4000 points, enough to "one punch take out one health bar," everyone nodded with deep feeling.

Seto Kaiba: "I knew it... This kid is a complete lunatic... He even figured out how to see his own card effect..."

"They're absolutely ruthless in their pursuit of victory..."

At that moment, a scene flashed through President Seto Kaiba's mind: the young king controlling the Chimera Terminator Dragon, unleashing a five-hit combo at the cost of his life.

In the end, he smiled and nodded:

"However, this actually suits his personality... Yufeng..."

...

At the same time, in that instant, Youfeng also immediately entered the battle phase of this round!

61. Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite: Ushering in the Xyz Era!

After entering the final stage of this battle to slay the gods, Youfeng immediately used the powerful [Red Daddy] to declare his battle:

"Then, I'm going to go~YU↗KI↘!"

"【Red-Eyes Dragon Knight】, directly attack the opponent Yugi Muto!"

Soon, with a fierce and swift attack, the powerful [Mage] monster in the Wind Field immediately waved its staff, and a fiery attack from the [Red-Eyes Black Dragon], along with the magical power of black magic, instantly assaulted its opponent, Yugi Muto.

Instantly, the boy with the "starfish head" was also engulfed in this unprecedented blaze.

"Woooooo~"

With a series of painful groans, Yugi Muto's LP value instantly dropped to 0.

【Yugi Muto: LP4000→0! 】

At the same time, a "WIN" sign, indicating victory, quickly lit up on Youfeng's duel disk.

In the final moments of the Duel City finals, Yufeng, as if ascending to the top of the Duel Tower, won the ultimate championship.

"You, you won... Youfeng..."

Although he had a thousand feelings at this moment, in that instant, the Pharaoh King Yugi, who was immersed in the game of Muto, quickly and frankly accepted the result.

"However, Yufeng... I will not be afraid of you in the next duel, even if you possess cards capable of defeating the [God Card]!"

With a firm and unwavering gaze from Wang Yang, Yu Feng smiled and nodded.

"It seems that, besides Kaiba, we now have another nemesis with a deep-seated obsession!"

...

Judging from the way the two were talking, the onlookers were clearly surprised by this outcome.

"Surprisingly, the ultimate winner wasn't any of the three duelists who possessed the [God Card]..."

"This kid... I have to say, he's ridiculously strong!"

Amidst a sigh that was half helpless and half wistful, everyone immediately turned their attention to the duelist wielding the [Red-Eyes Dragon Knight], a duelist with a ruthless fighting style, and their emotions were in a state of extreme complexity.

"Defeating that person is simply impossible now, isn't it?"

"You could say he completely ignores the synergy between himself and the deck, but his gameplay is truly 'Soul-like'..."

"But if you're talking about the form of 'soul,' it seems like they don't care about the cards' feelings at all, doing whatever they want..."

"It's a contradiction, Yuuki..."

Soon, with Katsuya Jonouchi's final "concluding remarks," the faces of Mai Kujaku and even Seto Kaiba instantly contorted as if wearing a "pain mask."

Then, Kaiba, the president of Kaiba Corporation, wearing a handsome white cape and with short chestnut hair, swayed slightly as he glanced with considerable apprehension at Yuuki, the powerful duelist who had consecutively defeated him with [Giant God Soldier], Malik's [Winged Dragon of Ra], and Yugi Muto's [Sky Dragon].

"I still stand by my assessment of this person—he's a complete madman..."

...

Soon, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Masaki Kyoko stepped forward with a worried expression to help up the dejected Yugi Muto. After a brief moment of dazedness, she was quickly greeted by a biting wind from the top of the towering duel tower.

Yugi Muto's eyes immediately shifted from a serious and murderous look back to that innocent crimson-purple.

"Hmm...it seems he lost to Yuuka..."

As Yugi Muto stared intently at Yuuki across from him, not far away, the company president Seto Kaiba, clad in a white trench coat, also glanced at the uniform scene and nodded slightly with a smile.

"Hmph... Now there's one more opponent I have to defeat..."

"To be able to defeat Yugi Muto, just like me, that's certainly a force to be reckoned with..."

...

But soon, amidst the seemingly arrogant expression on the face of the company president, Seto Kaiba...

Katsuya Jonouchi, eager to stand up for his companion, immediately gave the man before him a disdainful look and said in a low voice:

"Heh~ If you'd commit suicide if I didn't let you win, then even I, the great one, will let you win a game, Kaiba~"

"Besides—if you and the game lost to the same person, there's nothing to be proud of, is there?!"

In that instant, faced with this blatant embarrassment, Seto Kaiba coughed violently twice, staring at the blond-haired man in utter disbelief, and clenched his fists tightly.

"...Even so, if Youfeng fought to the death at the cost of burning his life force, then I, who cornered Youfeng against the same opponent, am clearly superior..."

But quickly, after a subconscious explanation, President Seto Kaiba also reacted swiftly, crossing his arms and loudly rebuking him:

"Something like this is something you, a mere mortal, wouldn't be able to perceive. I can no longer tolerate you barking like a stray dog... Come on, although I have no interest in third place, I'm going to completely defeat you now, you mortal!"

...

As Seto Kaiba roared in fury, Katsuya Jonouchi's face instantly contorted in anger, his expression one of defiance as he declared, "Bring it on!"

Immediately afterward, the two of them set off at the Sky Duel Arena atop the Duel Tower. At the very moment that Yuuki and Yugi Muto had finished their duel, they began an official match to determine who would compete for third place against Mai Kujaku.

Although Jonouchi gave it his all this time, he ultimately suffered a regrettable defeat due to the gap in dueling skills and deck strength.

In the ensuing official third-place match, although Mai Kujaku looked like she was ready to "take revenge for Jonouchi-kun," the president effortlessly pulled out the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon in the first round, leaving Mai Kujaku embarrassed to discover that her entire deck couldn't get past him.

Finally, the duel in the city came to an end.

...

At Kaiba's invitation, Yugi Muto and Yuuki stood together, and the three of them took a group photo with Yuuki in the center, under the guidance of KC Kaiba Group's exclusive photographer.

Although Yuuki has never been one to bet on such things, Yugi Muto's expression became somewhat strange after just losing to Yuuki.

However, given Seto Kaiba's suggestion to spin the cards to amplify their impact, the two couldn't easily refuse, and thus successfully completed the photo shoot.

Then, one after another, everyone boarded the huge airship they had been on and embarked on their return journey to Tongye City.

...

As night fell and everything was completed,
