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

[Defense: 1600]

"Then, although you, Senior Yuuka, are very spirited and strong, ultimately all your terminals are still just the [Cyber ​​Dragon] family monsters of the Machine race..."

"so--"

Soon, as he looked at the three monsters on the field, an unparalleled confidence in victory immediately shone in Ryo Marufuji's gray eyes. Then, he took out his entire Extra Deck from the Duel Disk and made a gesture as if he was about to perform a Special Summon.

...

"He... Marufuji Ryo... he really has mastered the power of that card!"

Soon, upon seeing the blue-haired boy open his Extra Deck, Jun Manjoume, seated in the Great Hall, immediately took a deep breath, staring at the boy's actions with a look of astonishment.

"Hmm... that dragon that once created countless miracles in the hands of Senior Youfeng... the one known as the 'father' of the entire [Mechanical Race] family... the Tire Dragon—the [Chimera Fortress Dragon]!"

But just as Tenjouin Asuka was realizing that Marufuji Ryo-senpai actually possessed the power of this card, and her brow furrowed slightly...

The next second—Ryo Marufuji, who was opening his [Extra Deck], instantly turned pale:

"No... unable to Special Summon?! Not just [Chimera Fortress Dragon]... none of the cards can be Special Summoned successfully?!"

In that instant, seeing the grayed-out, unplayable cards on his Extra Deck monster cards—a clear indication that they were restricted—Ryo Marufuji's eyes flickered, and he shook his head in disbelief at the situation before him.

"how come..."

But the next second, this boy, who was extremely perceptive in duels, immediately turned his gaze to the backcourt where Yuu was being attacked...

"Could it be that [Dragon Destruction Sword]?!"

...

As Marufuji Ryo voiced his guess, Yuuka smiled and nodded:

"It seems you are indeed a promising student, Ryo Marufuji... That's right, although this card is only Level 1, it has the special effect: if this card is equipped, your opponent cannot Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck..."

Soon, accompanied by Yu Feng's soft voice, in an instant, Marufuji Ryo, who was originally full of absolute confidence, also had a gloomy expression on his face.

...

"So that's how it is... Is this why Mr. Yufeng preferred to give up transforming into the [Inner Electro Stream] and only remain as the [Electronic Dark Dragon]...?"

"Completely shutting down the Extra Deck means that Fusion Summoning is no longer possible..."

"And if the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck loses its [Fusion] power... it's doomed to defeat..."

Soon, amidst a commotion in the auditorium, Asuka Tenjouin glanced with slight surprise at the sword held behind Yuuki's [Electronic Dark Dragon], and shook her head helplessly:

"To come up with this kind of idea... Marufuji-senpai... he's no match for him at all..."

...

But at that very moment, after a slight nod, Marufuji Ryo, who seemed unaffected by the setback, took a deep breath, gathered up the extra deck he had opened, and re-protected it within the silver-white Duel Disk.

Then, his finger immediately slid from his hand, finally playing a magic card:

"In that case... your [Destruction Sword - Dragon Destruction Sword] is currently existing as an [Equipment Spell] card, right? Then I'll just activate a [Harpie's Feather Duster] from my hand and sweep away your [Dragon Destruction Sword]!"

Soon, he watched as Ryo Marufuji played this incredibly familiar, versatile magic card.

You Feng's lips twitched instantly: "???"

"Goodness, you even have this?"

"You went to collect [Harpy Girl] too?"

After a brief moment of complaining, Youfeng shook his head helplessly, opened the stack of cards on the field for [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite], and removed one Xyz Material directly into the graveyard:

"That's fine... I'll just use the three-color combo of [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] to chain your [Feather Duster]: Once per turn, when a card's effect is activated, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it."

But just as Yuuki was about to use the effect of [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] to counter [Feather Duster], another green magic card in Marufuji's hand was also flashing with time.

"..."

"It's not over yet... Senior Yufeng... I'll directly chain your [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite] and activate this [Quick-Play Spell Card] [Forbidden Grail]: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field. That monster gains 400 ATK until the end of the turn, and its effects are negated."

In an instant, seeing the card depicting a classically beautiful girl holding the Golden Grail appear, Youfeng, who had seemingly secured victory, suddenly turned pale:

"Oh no, this is bad, this is really going to be Caesar rolling on my tires..."

71. After the mutual rolling tires, I unleashed Future Fusion!

With a sigh of despair from Yufeng, facing his opponent's attempt to negate his Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinity with Forbidden Grail, and with Dragon Slayer in the back row having no chance of survival, Yufeng had no choice but to activate the effect of Cyber ​​Dark Dragon:

"Since my [Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] also has the same [Tricolor Con] effect: when your opponent activates the effect of a Spell, Trap, or Monster, you can send 1 Equip Card on your field to the Graveyard to activate this effect. Negate that activation and destroy it."

"Then I will chain your [Forbidden Holy Grail] to activate!"

Soon, along with Yufeng's [Cyber ​​Dark Dragon], [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite], and Marufuji Ryo's two consecutive magic cards—[Hawk Goddess's Feather Duster] and [Forbidden Grail]—a total of four cards lit up with circular chains representing the entry into a [Chain].

Everyone stared in amazement at the chain reaction of the virus.

At that moment, Jaden Yuki, sitting in the front row of the audience, also looked at this unusual situation with a surprised expression:

"This back-and-forth battle... it seems Marufuji Ryo-senpai is indeed powerful... his opponent was Yuuka-senpai... although he was still managed to defend himself... but since he used the [Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] Equip Spell Card... overall, Marufuji Ryo-senpai's graveyard was still cleared..."

"Although I used two cards, I'm afraid what will happen next..."

...

And then, with a look of surprise on his face, the young Yuki Jaden, sporting his "jellyfish head" hairstyle, made a prediction about the upcoming situation.

When no new cards are added to the chain, the effects of these four consecutive cards are calculated according to the rule of "last card, first card".

When the card 【Destruction Sword - Dragon Destruction Sword】 was sent back to the graveyard as the cost of the three-color combo 【Cyber ​​Dark Dragon】, the subsequent chain became completely meaningless.

...

"Is this your kind of perseverance, Senior Yufeng... Even knowing that there is absolutely no way to turn the tide... you still insist on activating this technique?"

Soon, upon seeing Yuufu's clean and efficient maneuver, the blue-haired boy, Marufuji Ryo, immediately shook his head. Looking at his Cyber ​​Dragon on the field, he once again reached for his silver-white Duel Disk and took out his entire Extra Deck:

"Now, since I have one [Cyber ​​Dragon] on my field, plus [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite], [Cyber ​​Dragon - Next Generation], and [Cyber ​​Dark Dragon] on your field, that makes a total of 4 monster cards..."

"All of them meet the material requirements of the Machine Race—then, descend!"

"With overwhelming pressure, sweep away all obstacles and transform them into your own power!"

"Level 8 - [Chimera Fortress Dragon]!"

In an instant, a huge, dazzling white current swept across Ryo Marufuji's field. In an instant, the three Cyber ​​Dragon series monsters on the field were also affected by this power, and their bodies swayed as if their "electronic brains were overflowing".

Ultimately, they were drawn into a massive vortex of fusion, and then, under a burst of shimmering orange-yellow light...

The crimson-purple Chimera [Chimera Fortress Dragon], with its tire-like fortress-like body, instantly rose behind Marufuji Ryo, along with the crimson-purple exclusive [Fusion] monster card he played:

[Chimeric Fortress Dragon]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: Dark]

【Level: 8】

[Attack power: 0→4000]

[Defense: 0]

...

"Good heavens, so... so Mr. Youfeng is going to get OTK?"

"That punch with 4000 attack power would instantly kill even a person at full health, right?"

"...In a Cyber ​​Dragon mirror match, going second is such a huge disadvantage...Mr. Yufeng clearly made an almost perfect opening move..."

Upon seeing their revered legendary duelist, Yuuki Jaden, the man who had once defeated the Pharaoh, seemingly about to fall at the hands of their senior, the gazes of Yuuki Jaden and Manjoume Jun in the audience instantly became complex:

"If the tire dragon exists, there's really nothing we can do about it..."

...

Meanwhile, as one of the founders of the Duel Academy, he was in his office at the Kaiba Group, watching the momentous "electronic style" apprenticeship battle unfold through the on-site monitor. Seeing Yu Feng get rolled around like a tire by the young duelist opposite him, he slammed his fist on the table with great satisfaction.

"Hmph hmph hmph~ You've finally met your match, Youfeng!"

"Well done, Ryo Marufuji..."

At that moment, the aloof president of the Kaiba Group gave Marufuji Ryo a rare look of appreciation.

...

At that very moment, in the duel within the auditorium, Marufuji Ryo, who had almost completely achieved all his tactical objectives, immediately entered the battle phase with a smile:

"I wonder if Mr. Youfeng is satisfied with my answer sheet—I'll accept this victory for now."

"I'll go straight into the battle phase!"

"Since there are no monsters in Mr. Yufeng's field, I can immediately launch a direct attack—Chimera Fortress Dragon! chyokketsu-kougeki (Direct Attack)—Evolution-Result-Artillery (Evolution End Light)!!!"

Soon, faced with this extremely familiar situation, one that he had used to defeat one opponent after another, Youfeng watched as a powerful white beam of light was brewing in the huge mouth of the opponent's [Chimera Fortress Dragon] and shot towards him. He shook his head helplessly.

He immediately pulled out a [Kite Machine] card from his hand and threw it into the graveyard!

"It's useless!"

"I'll use one of my brother's cards to negate the damage from your attack!"

Soon, along with the rapidly flashing image of a kite-like robot above Yufeng's head, it also appeared immediately, only to be shattered by Marufuji Ryo's [Chimera Fortress Dragon] with a "bang".

Marufuji Ryo: ???

...

"Where did you get those cards, senior...?"

Soon, just like when Ryo Marufuji pulled out a [Feather Duster], Yuuki's expression changed. Ryo, who had been celebrating his successful kill, suddenly looked annoyed, shook his head slightly, and muttered:

"But since that's the case, I guess I'll have to end this round..."

"But—you've already used up a lot of resources in your deck to set up the field during the first turn, so you must be completely out of resources, right, Senior Yufeng?"

"It looks like victory is completely in my hands."
