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

Even with this limitation, it was still more than enough for Lucien to summon the pinnacle that represented the electronic world and the connection!

At this moment, Lucien pointed sharply at the white-robed mage wielding a crystalline staff on the field and shouted:

"I activate the special effect of the [Splash Screen Mage] on the field!"

"You can only activate this by targeting 1 Cyberse monster in your Graveyard."

"That monster was Special Summoned in Defense Position."

"Of course, as a trade-off, the effects of monsters Special Summoned by this effect will be negated, and after this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters other than Cybernetic monsters until the end of the turn."

Lucien's eyes sharpened:

"I hereby Special Summon [YuYuYao@Fire Spirit Star] from the Graveyard!"

"Revive! [YuYu Yao@Fire Spirit Star]!"

Upon receiving the command, the white-robed mage immediately waved his staff, and aquamarine ripples spread out. A purple monster covered in eerie graffiti reappeared from the ripples, assuming a defensive stance!

【YuYuYao@FireSpiritStar】【4 stars】

[Dark/Cyber ​​Race] [Attack: 400 / Defense: 1600]

"Now, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived!"

Lucien raised his right hand high.

"Next, I used the level 4 [Yuyu Fairy@Fire Spirit Star] and the level 3 [Shimmering Fairy@Fire Spirit Star] to adjust the star level!"

The two monsters on the field instantly turned into pure data points and disappeared. Then, above Youyang and Lucien's heads, green and purple synchronized halos representing their levels suddenly appeared and began to slowly expand along with the resonance of the laws.

Despite the dazzling synchronized effects, You Yang remained remarkably calm.

He was quite familiar with the opening strategies of the Fire Spirit Star deck. His sharp eyes were fixed on the air, and he knew that his opponent would make this move!

As Lucien forcefully swung his raised hand down, the green halo in mid-air suddenly pressed down, merging perfectly with the purple halo.

The two intertwined wildly, instantly transforming into a wider, more dazzling blue halo of data.

Within the ever-shimmering blue data halo, seven dazzling beams of light suddenly appeared in the high-dimensional space at the very center of the duel, and Lucien's divine voice resounded throughout the entire arena:

"O chaos, wandering in the darkness!"

"May the winds that soar beyond the heavens pave a new path!"

Synchro Summon!

"Show yourself! Level 7!"

"【Flying Horse@Fire Spirit Star】!"

Herod!

A crisp and resounding hoofbeat echoed in their ears, and extremely violent green flames bloomed wildly amidst the dazzling data light.

Suddenly, a sacred steed clad in silver-white armor and engulfed in blazing green flames unfurled a pair of enormous green wings and flew in with the force of a tearing gale!

【Flying Horse @ Fire Spirit Star】【7 stars】

[Wind/Synchro/Cybernetic] [Attack: 2300 Defense: 1500]

Lucien's voice pierced through the noise of the virtual amusement park, carrying an undeniable sense of control:

"At this very moment, the hidden effect of [Shaking Fairy@Fire Spirit Star], which was just used as a Synchro Material, has been activated!"

"If this card is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material for a Cyberse Synchro Monster, you can target 1 monster in your Graveyard that was used as Synchro Material for that Synchro Summon, except 'Tremble Fairy@Fire Spirit Star'."

His slender fingers gracefully pointed to the cemetery area, and a beam of data light immediately illuminated!

"That monster will be reawakened and Special Summoned."

"I hereby Special Summon [YuYuYao@FireSpiritStar]!"

Lucien shouted,

"Rise from the abyss! [YuYu Yao @ Fire Spirit Star]!"

As he called out, a burst of violent green flames suddenly erupted in the center of the arena.

Amidst the leaping flames, a purple figure covered in comical graffiti broke through the flames once more, appearing vividly!

【YuYuYao@FireSpiritStar】【4 stars】

[Dark/Cyber ​​Race] [Attack: 400 / Defense: 1600]

With the successful summoning of [Yuyu Fairy] once again, Lucien did not hesitate at all. He suddenly raised his arms, and the door symbolizing the connection to the network opened again with a bang!

"Reappear once more! Circuit that guides endless darkness!"

"The summoning conditions for this brand-new monster are—"

Lucien's eyes, hidden beneath his mask, gleamed with a fanatical light.

"Three monsters with different card names!"

"I've set the three monsters on the field—[Frosty Fairy@Fire Spirit Star], [Wind Pegasus@Fire Spirit Star], and [Splash Screen Wizard]—to their Link Markers!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the three monsters on the field instantly disintegrated, transforming into three extremely oppressive black streams of light that shot into the sky, like three sharp swords precisely piercing into the dazzling connecting light above.

Lucien suddenly raised his right hand high and chanted loudly in a voice that was both pious and violent!

"Shadows have been forged here!"

"The profound wisdom scattered throughout the darkness of the world!"

"Leap through the abyss! Dance in despair!"

"Transform into a raging torrent, gather it all into my hand!"

"Become the power that I have fully awakened, the supreme and domineering power!"

"Break through the limits of all data!"

"Link Summon!"

"Show yourself here, Link 3!"

"【Dark Knight@Fire Spirit Star】!"

boom--!

Accompanied by deafening thunder, the originally pure white connection halo above was forcibly torn open by an extremely violent force, creating a huge dark purple data rift!

A dark knight wielding a sharp greatsword, like a demon god returned from hell, burst violently out of the rift.

He was covered in extremely thick, dark purple mechanical armor with a cold, high-tech feel, and his blood-red electronic eyes were fixed on You Yang below.

He suddenly swung the high-frequency particle longsword in his hand, even cutting the surrounding virtual air and causing it to distort and ripple!

【Dark Knight@Fire Spirit Star】【Link 3 [][↓][]】

[Dark/Connection/Cybernetic] [Attack Power: 2300]

"After this summoning that consumed a lot of materials, my main monster zone is now empty again!"

Lucien's smug smile grew even more unrestrained.

"Therefore, the field magic is working again!"

"I specially summoned [Spicy Fairy@Fire Spirit Star] that returned to my hand before!"

boom! boom! boom!

In the sky, the colorful data fireworks belonging to "Ai" Heart Paradise Island exploded once again in an extremely dazzling way, and that small but fiery red figure, exuding a scorching aura, once again joyfully appeared in the sky full of fireworks!

【Spicy Fairy @ Fire Spirit Star】【2 stars】

[Fire/Cyber ​​Race] [Attack: 800 / Defense: 800]

"Don't blink, the gorgeous combo continues!"

"Next, I'll connect all the [Spicy Fairy@Fire Spirit Star] units on the field!"

"Link Summon! Link 1!"

"Return to the battlefield, [Dark Child@Fire Spirit Star]!"

A deep stream of data light flashed by, and that small, eerie purple figure reappeared in this endless cyber carnival!

【Dark Child @ Fire Spirit Star】【Link 1 [←]】

[Dark/Connection/Cybernetic] [Attack Power: 1500]

This time, the location where [Dark Child@Fire Spirit Star] descended was precisely where the connecting arrow of [Dark Knight@Fire Spirit Star] above was pointing!

The moment the two established a high-dimensional link, an extremely violent, tidal wave of purple light suddenly erupted from the heavy mechanical armor of [Dark Knight@Fire Spirit Star]!

"At this pivotal moment of destiny, the powerful effect of [Dark Knight @ Fire Spirit Star], capable of turning the tide of battle, has officially activated!"

Lucien swung his arm violently.

"This effect can only be activated if a monster is Special Summoned to the zone linked to this card!"

"I can Special Summon as many Level 4 or lower '@Fire Spirit Celestial' monsters as possible from my Graveyard to my field in the zones linked to this card, negating their effects."

"But my calculations don't stop there!"

"At this moment, I also need to chain its effects and activate another effect of the newly appeared [Dark Child@Fire Spirit Star]!"

Lucien's voice came like a storm, giving You Yang no time to react.

"This effect can only be activated when a Cyberse monster with an original attack power of exactly 2300 activates its effect."

"This card's position will automatically move to your Main Monster Zone, which is the zone this card is attached to."

"After that, you can change the card's attribute to any attribute until the end of the turn!"

"Based on the effect of [Dark Child@Fire Spirit Star], I moved it one space to the left and changed its attribute to God..."

However, before Lucien could finish speaking his presumptuous words, a sudden change occurred!

The entire extremely stable virtual world seemed to have angered some being, and suddenly began to shake violently!

Rumble—!

One after another, violent bolts of lightning carrying a destructive aura exploded without warning at the edges of the surrounding space. The terrifying pressure pressed down as if it were a physical force, and Lucien's body was clearly subjected to an extremely strong impact of the laws, causing him to stagger.

Crimson blood slowly flowed from his ears and nose through the gaps in his hellish serpent mask, dripping onto the colorful virtual amusement park floor, a shocking sight.
