Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

This level of precision in controlling the power of the spirits truly lives up to the name "Chosen One of the Gods".

But without the slightest hesitation or waste of words, Kelos suddenly stretched out his arm, and with a click of a mechanism from his cuff, a high-tech silver metal dueling disk popped out and unfolded into a sharp blade shape.

"To avoid damaging the surrounding environment, and also to be able to fully utilize my abilities..."

Kairos gently pressed a blue button on the side of the Duel Disk and said coldly:

"System activated—[Duel Dimension]!"

Swish-!

As the button was pressed, a pale blue data ripple instantly spread outwards from him.

The once idyllic courtyard scenery, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, was instantly "swallowed up" and decomposed upon contact with the ripples.

In the blink of an eye, the three found themselves in a strange space composed of data streams and barren rocks.

"This is the latest product of my research, [Duel Dimension]."

Seeing the slightly curious look in You Yang's eyes, Kairos explained calmly:

"This is a subspace technology we created by analyzing the structure of the Elf Realm. It can briefly generate an independent space similar to the Elf Realm."

“Here, we can unleash our power without fear of damaging buildings or being seen by ordinary people.”

This system is still in the experimental stage. Although it has become relatively stable, it has never been put into such a high-intensity real combat.

Kairos thought to himself: This is a good opportunity to test the limits of this thing and see if it can withstand the power impact of the legendary "Chosen One"!

[The duel begins!!]

[Youyang: LP 8000]

[Kailos: LP 8000]

The virtual coin flips in mid-air before finally falling.

Kairos glanced at the result and quickly drew five cards from his deck, his movements as precise as a machine.

"Looks like I've got the first strike!"

You Yang also drew five cards from his deck, looking relaxed.

"My turn!"

Kelos glanced at his hand, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he immediately drew a card and slammed it heavily onto the duel disk:

"I activate the Spell Card from my hand—[Tech Genus - Limiter Release]!"

Chapter 223 Our technology belongs to those with their own growth rate!

The dazzling light of data flowed around Kelos like the aurora borealis, and beneath his feet, the once barren rocky ground rippled with layers of azure blue, as if he were in the deep sea of ​​data.

Kelos's expression was solemn. His long fingers drew a card from his deck, and his eyes behind his glasses gleamed with a cold, computer-like precision.

He didn't rush to operate, but instead explained slowly in a tone as rigorous as an academic report:

"Normal Spell Card - [Tech Genus - Limiter Release]".

"This card has two effects, but you can only choose one to activate in the same turn."

"Firstly, as a trade, you can discard one card from your hand to add two 'Tech Genus' monsters from your deck to your hand."

"Secondly, you can banish this card from your Graveyard and reclaim one 'Tech Genus' monster from it. If there's a 'Tech Genus' Machine-Type monster on the field, you can even add it directly to your hand."

Kairos's voice echoed in the empty duel dimension, carrying an undeniable confidence:

"What I'm going to activate is naturally its first effect!"

"As a price, I will send the [Technology Attribute - Transparent Metal Frame] in my possession to the graveyard!"

As the card slid into the graveyard slot, a red data stream was instantly decomposed.

With a wave of his hand, Kairos sent two cards flying from his deck, which he precisely caught between his fingertips:

"Based on the effects, I choose to add [Tech Genus Rocket Fire Spirit] and [Tech Genus Gear Zombie] from my deck to my hand!"

Watching Kairos's smooth and efficient search operation, You Yang, who had been observing from the sidelines with his arms crossed, couldn't help but have a hint of interest flash in his eyes.

"Is it related to science and technology...?"

He was familiar with this deck; it symbolized future technology and the power of accelerated Synchro Summoning.

Looking at the several new cards that Kelos had never seen before in his hand, You Yang's lips curled up slightly.

"So this is the new strength of the Technology Genius. Is it a reinforcement?"

"I really haven't looked into it in depth..."

You Yang thought to himself,

"Then let me see for myself just how far the power of the Tech Attribute has evolved."

Seeing that You Yang didn't throw out that troublesome "trap" to interrupt his search, Kairos's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was absolutely confident in his dueling skills, he had heard rumors about this "chosen one" and was wary of him.

After all, it was someone who had defeated a god, according to Tiandao Lian.

But that doesn't mean he's convinced of it.

On the contrary, seeing You Yang's calm and composed demeanor, the resentment in Kelos's heart grew wildly like weeds.

He refused to accept that the results of his years of hard work, the dueling system he was so proud of, and even the future of the entire Arbitrators would be inexplicably handed over to an outsider.

This absurd thing is illogical and his self-esteem cannot accept it!

"I'll make you back down...right here!"

Kairos's eyes narrowed, and he slammed the card he had just drawn onto the Duel Disk:

"Normal Summon! — [Tech Genus: Rocket Flame]!!"

boom--!

A burst of crimson flames exploded out of thin air, the intense heat instantly distorting the surrounding data stream.

Amidst the blazing flames, a crimson, grotesque mechanical lizard crawled out.

It has a pair of winding argali horns on its head, its arms have been transformed into two huge blue jet thrusters, and its tail is like a rocket nozzle, spewing out dazzling tail flames!

【Technology Genus - Rocket Fire Sprite】

【★1】【Fire/Fire Clan/Effect】【Attack: 600 / Defense: 600】

"It's not over yet!"

Kylos moved extremely quickly, swiftly revealing another card in his hand:

"I activate the effect of my [Tech Genus - Gear Zombie]!"

"You can target 1 'Tech' monster you control; this effect can be activated."

"Special Summon this card from your hand."

"After that, the attack power of the targeted monster will decrease by 1000 points!"

He pointed to the fiery lizards on the field:

"I'm activating [Tech Genus: Rocket Fire Spirit]!"

"Because of the energy extraction, although its attack power will be reduced to zero, new combat power will be born from it!"

Special Summon! — [Tech Genus: Gear Zombie]!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

The rocket fire sprite emitted a low mechanical hum, and the flames from its twin thrusters instantly dimmed, its attack power panel returning to zero.

At the same time, a sickeningly loud grinding sound of gears rang out in the arena.

A zombie monster, draped in a tattered red scarf and made entirely of rusty metal and rotting flesh, slowly emerged.

It has no joints; instead, it consists of rapidly spinning precision gears that exude a strange mechanical beauty in their clattering rotation.

[Tech Genre: Gear Zombie]

【★1】【Dark/Undead/Effect】【Attack: 600 / Defense: 0】

"Next, I'll activate the effect of the [Tech Genus: Rocket Flame] on the field!"

Kelos's voice suddenly rose, filled with destructive pleasure:

You can activate this effect by Tributing 1 "Tech Genus" monster you control!

Special Summon 1 "Tech Genus" monster from your Deck whose original name is different from the monster it was Tributed!

"I'm releasing the [Tech Genus - Gear Zombie] on the field!"

"Crush it! And then new life will be born!"

On the field, Rocket Fire Sprite suddenly raised its dim arms and then slammed them down on the ground with tremendous force!

boom! !

A massive crack spread across the virtual ground, instantly engulfing the gear zombie.

As the zombie shattered and vanished, a series of rapid sounds of earth breaking apart followed.

"squeak--!"

A mechanical larva, its body a deep blue and shaped like a miniature tank, emerged from the shattered data crack. Its tracks turned, and its cannon muzzle rose slightly, gleaming with a cold light.

Special Summon - [Tech Genus: Tank Larva]!!

【Genus Technologiae - Tank Larvae】

【★1】【Ground/Insect/Adjustment/Effect】【Attack: 0 / Defense: 0】

"Synchro Summoning is about to begin!"

The starlight in Kelos's eyes suddenly shone brightly behind his glasses; it was a signal that the calculations were complete.

He swung his arm sharply, grabbing both cards from the duel disk simultaneously, and announced loudly:
