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

This time, his gaze did not linger on You Yang, but instead cast a meaningful glance at Vivian, who was silently watching from the side.

"Heh...how interesting."

“At the beginning, those old-fashioned guys within the Arbitrators all said that only the Stardust Dragon had the potential for infinite evolution.”

"They regarded it as a miracle, calling it the monster that was 'most likely to be close to God'."

"So over the years, apart from those vanished gods, the Celestial Arbiters have wasted most of their energy searching for the traces of the Stardust Dragon."

At this point, Keros suddenly waved his hand, his voice rising a few decibels, carrying a defiant arrogance:

"But I've never thought that way!"

"I don't believe in so-called 'divine choice,' nor am I superstitious about so-called 'bloodline'!"

"I firmly believe that through scientific calculations and proper interaction, any card spirit has the potential for infinite evolution!"

"So-called miracles are nothing more than a probability inevitability!"

"The so-called legends are nothing more than data that has not yet been analyzed!"

Kairos grabbed two cards from the Duel Disk, his eyes flashing wildly with data, and the Synchro Aura behind him erupted once more, brighter than ever before:

"Let me show you for yourself! This is my answer!"

"The power of a perfect fusion of meteors and technology—!!"

"I'm using the Level 5 Synchro Tuner monster [Tech Genus: Star Guardian] and the Level 5 Synchro Monster [Tech Genus: Hyper Drive Dragon Knight] to perform a Star Tuning!"

"Level 5 + Level 5 = Level 10!"

Speed ​​limiter removed, Level 10!

"Activate the regulator! Full thrusters!"

"GO! Synchro Summon!!"

"Transcending the boundaries of light, reshaping a shattered legend within a mechanical body!"

"—COME ON! [Meteor Dragon - Tech Expansion]!!"

Rumble—!

In the void, a gigantic mechanical dragon claw suddenly tore through the spatial dimensions.

With a deafening roar of engines, the ultimate mechanical dragon descended!

It perfectly inherited the slender and elegant figure of the Meteor Dragon, but its original flesh and blood body has been completely transformed.

Every inch of the dragon scales has been replaced with a streamlined titanium alloy shell that reflects a cold, icy light in the data space.

Its wings are no longer pure starlight, but are composed of countless high-frequency vibrating technological blades. The edges of the blades are leaping with cyan electric arcs symbolizing future technology, and each flap brings up bursts of data storms.

Its head is covered with sophisticated sensor armor, and its eyes flash with a red light that seems to calculate everything, as if it has locked onto every corner of the battlefield.

"Roar--!!"

With its roar, gusts of wind mixed with electricity swept towards Youyang, making his clothes flutter loudly.

The dragon stood silently before Kairos, its long, gleaming metallic tail sweeping across the ground and leaving a deep, charred mark on the virtual rock.

[Meteor Dragon - Tech Expansion]

【★10】【Wind/Dragon/Synchro/Effect】【ATK: 3300 / DEF: 2500】

You Yang faced the angry roar head-on, without flinching or dodging.

But their gaze shifted from a casual, post-meal moment to a serious one.

Since the other party came to him with this belief, then let him respond to that belief!

Looking at this colossal dragon, a marvel of technological violence, even the usually composed Vivian showed a hint of emotion.

"Is this... the Meteor Dragon after being technologically modified?"

However, Kelos's performance had only just begun.

"At this very moment!"

"Summoning successful! Thanks to the effect of [Tech Genus - Super Librarian], I've drawn another card from my deck!"

With his hand replenished once again, Kelos showed no reluctance towards the imposing dragon that had just appeared, instead pointing his finger at the inconspicuous mechanical dragonfly on the field.

Chapter 225 Accelerated Synchronization! I'm going to mess around for a bit during your turn!

"Next, I activate the effect of the [Tech Genus: Swap Dragonfly] on the field!"

"Once per turn, you can target 1 other 'Tech' Synchro Monster you control."

"Send that monster to the graveyard."

"After that, if all the monsters in the group that served as Synchro Material for the monster sent to the Graveyard are Synchro Monsters and are gathered in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon that group!"

"Decompose it!"

"I'm sending [Meteor Dragon - Tech Expansion] to the graveyard!"

"The [Tech Genus: Star Guardian] and [Tech Genus: Hyperdrive Dragon Knight] used as materials will be Special Summoned again!!"

Om-!

The mechanical meteor dragon, which had just appeared and hadn't even had a chance to warm up, let out a low hum, and its massive body instantly turned into countless cyan data fragments and dissipated.

Amidst the rain of fragmented light, two familiar figures surged upstream, returning to the battlefield.

【Science and Technology - Star Guardian】

【Technology Genre: Super Drive Dragon Knight】

Despite seeing Kelos' seemingly "meaningless" and even somewhat "card-wasting" move, You Yang did not show any disdain.

Instead, his gaze became even more serious.

"Disassembling the terminal that was so hard to summon... Is this adjusting its level in preparation for 'Triangle Acceleration Synchronization'?"

"Or is it that he doesn't know the special conditions for summoning some monster?"

You Yang thought to himself, a playful smile curving his lips.

Indeed, don't treat others like idiots.

Those who like to treat their opponents as idiots are often the real idiots in the end.

Kylos's arm swept across the dueling disk with a sudden, sweeping motion, as if he were conducting a grand symphony.

In an instant, three massive data streams of different colors surged out from the monsters on his field. They intertwined and swirled wildly in the air before finally converging together.

"Appear! The circuit to the future!"

As Kelos shouted, a huge, neon-colored connecting loop appeared in the void.

Three green connecting arrows lit up simultaneously at the bottom, lower left, and lower right corners of the loop, emitting a dazzling light.

This time, what surges forth is no longer synchronized starlight, but a torrent of data representing connection!

"Limiter removed, highest level!"

"The gate to evolution is fully open!"

"Open the logical loop leading to infinite evolution, and lock the scattered modules to the tactical origin!"

"Summoning conditions confirmed: 2 or more Effect Monsters, including those with the 'Tech' Attribute Tuner!"

"I'm setting the three monsters on the field—[Tech Genus Swap Dragonfly], [Tech Genus Hyperdrive Dragoon], and [Tech Genus Powerful Assault Trooper]—to their Link Markers!"

The three monsters instantly transformed into three streams of red energy, precisely injecting them into the three lit arrows. The circuits were instantly activated, and the burst of light illuminated the entire desolate data space.

"The combined iron will of the three powers will be transformed into a lance of punishment that will pierce through to the end!"

"Link Summon! Link-3!"

"Descend, commander of the battlefield—[Technology Attribute Trident Thrower]!!"

boom--!

With a heavy mechanical roar, a mechanical warrior clad in silver heavy armor slowly descended from the circuit.

Behind him was a massive Trident missile launcher, each launch port flashing a dangerous red light, with the three gun barrels pointing in different directions on the field, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

[Tech Genus - Trident Thrower] [link3↓]

[Earth/Link/Effect/Mechanical Race] [Attack Power: 2200]

Gazing at the [Technology Attribute - Trident Thrower] hovering in the air, a confident smile curved Kelos's lips, a composure born of complete control over the situation.

"At that very moment! The data valve was completely opened!"

"[Tech Genus - Trident Thrower]'s entry effect activated!"

"This card can only be activated if it is Link Summoned."

"Special Summon 1 'Tech Genus' monster from your hand, Deck, and Graveyard to your field in Defense Position, located in the zones linked to this card!!"

"This is the deployment capability of the Science and Technology Attribute—a three-in-one resource allocation!"

Kairos's finger slid rapidly across the virtual screen, locking onto three targets:

"Although I cannot Special Summon monsters other than 'Tech' monsters until the end of this turn after this effect is activated, that's enough!"

"I choose to summon from my deck—[Tech Genus: Transparent Metal Skeleton]!"

Deploy from your hand—[Tech Genus: Rocket Fire Sprite]!

"Rebooting from the graveyard—[Technology Attribute: Powerful Assault Soldier]!"

"Come forth, my legion!"

hum!hum!hum!

With three sharp energy hums, the three launch ports behind the [Technology Trident Thrower] simultaneously emitted dazzling beams of light, which struck the three connected areas on the field.

The most dazzling of them all was the monster whose entire body was transparent, leaving only a metal skeleton.

[Technology Attribute - Transparent Metal Skeleton] [★2] [Undead/Dark] [Attack: 1100/Defense: 0]

[Tech Genus - Rocket Fire Spirit] [★1] [Fire/Pyro/Effect] [Attack: 600 / Defense: 600]
