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

"Add 1 Spell/Trap Card with 'Stardust Dragon' in its name from your Deck to your hand."

You Yang waved his hand and said, "I choose to add the spell card [Stardust Illumination] to my hand from my deck!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pure starlight shot out from the Stardust Synchronizer, transforming into a faintly glowing card in mid-air, which landed steadily in You Yang's hand.

Yu Yang's gaze swept over the Synchroes poised to attack on the field, and he reached out again to draw a card from the Extra Deck.

boom--!

The moment he pulled out the card, the already dazzling red light on his body suddenly burst forth like a volcano, and a dragon's roar that pierced through higher dimensions suddenly rang out.

At this moment, the power within You Yang's body finally resonated completely with the red dragon hovering high above his head!

……

At the same moment, in the real world.

On the desolate battlefield, Vivian, who was fighting fiercely and struggling to hold off the surging tide of her monster kin, suddenly shuddered.

She looked down at the dragon mark on her arm that suddenly glowed with a dazzling red light, paused for a moment, and then immediately understood what it meant.

That was a call that transcended the virtual and the real.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, showing no reluctance whatsoever; instead, a carefree smile appeared on her lips.

"Would you like to use my power?"

"Then take it..."

A hint of determination and tenderness flashed in Vivian's eyes. She tilted her head back and murmured softly to the void.

"We must bring the little girl back!"

Om-!

A green power with an extremely rich and pure life force emanated wildly from the dragon seal on her arm without reservation, and was instantly swallowed up by the void vortex in mid-air!

……

In the virtual space, high in the air above the Hearts Hall.

Originally shrouded in crimson divine flames, You Yang's body was suddenly tinged with a dark green glow that was both vibrant and heavy!

Feeling the new power surging within him, You Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his voice resounding throughout the entire venue like a booming bell:

"Next, I'll use a level 5 [Scrap Speedster] and a level 2 [Assault Synchronizer] to adjust the star rating!"

"The sacred light of protection now merges with each other to become eternal life!"

"Synchro Summon! [Ancient Fairy Dragon]!"

Boom!

Above this dark red castle, filled with an atmosphere of death and oppression, an extremely pure and dazzling green light tore through the darkness like a sharp sword!

It was a beautiful dragon made entirely of crystal-clear green light, its body seemingly gently enveloped by the vitality and energy of the entire forest.

On the majestic dragon head, two bright golden eyes gleam with ancient wisdom, revealing a deep reverence for and protection of nature.

Its two horns, like the branches of an ancient tree, meander and stretch out, tightly wrapped with emerald vines and leaves, adding a touch of mystery and antiquity to its noble appearance.

In this desolate territory of the Queen of Hearts, the [Ancient Fairy Dragon], representing life and protection, has made a grand entrance!

[Ancient Fairy Dragon] [7-Star]

[Light/Synchro/Dragon] [Attack: 2100 / Defense: 3000]

"It's not over yet!"

With a fervent fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, You Yang drew another card from the extra deck with extremely smooth movements and announced it loudly.

"I'm using the [Ancient Fairy Dragon] and [Jet Synchron] that I just Synchro Summoned to perform Star Tuning!"

"May the converged starlight ignite new hope and transform into an endless path of speed!"

"Synchro Summon! [Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon]!"

boom--!

Accompanied by a dazzling red light tearing through the void, a giant mechanical dragon, its body as white as snow, sped out with a sonic boom!

Its long, streamlined armor was constantly emitting tiny, dazzling lights, like real stardust.

As it circled and flew faster and faster in the sky, a layer of extremely dazzling red light gradually ignited around its body, which resonated with the raging red dragon divine flames on You Yang's body!

[Accelerated Synchro Stardust Dragon] [8-Star]

[Wind/Synchronize/Dragon] [Attack: 2500 / Defense: 2000]

You Yang suddenly swung his arm, and a series of announcements rang out like a machine gun!

"I activate the entry effect of [Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon]!"

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

"Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower Tuner from your Graveyard".

You Yang pointed to his own grave.

"I choose to Special Summon [Jet Synchronizer] again!"

"Next, chaining this effect, I'll activate the effect of [Jet Synchronizer] which enters the graveyard!"

"This card can only be activated if it is sent to the Graveyard as Synchro Material."

Add 1 "Junk" monster from your Deck to your hand.

The Duel Disk emitted a rapid search sound, and Youyang quickly drew a card: "I choose to add [Scrap Converter] to my hand from my deck!"

As You Yang steadily collected the retrieved cards, a familiar red light appeared on the duel arena at just the right moment.

"Revive, Jet Synchronizer!"

Amidst the roar of the engine, the miniature mechanical monster, its tail spewing out blazing flames, leaped back onto the field, radiating energy once more, bathed in red light.

As his advantage continued to grow, You Yang didn't stop. He slammed the card he had just been holding into the Spell & Trap Gauge of the Duel Disk, and shouted:

"Then I activate the spell card from my hand—[Stardust Illumination]!"

"Based on its effect, I must send one 'Stardust' monster from my deck to the graveyard."

"However, if you have 'Stardust Dragon' or a Synchro Monster with that card name on your field, you can Special Summon it directly without sending it to the Graveyard!"

You Yang draws a card from his deck and places it on the Duel Disk!

"I choose to Special Summon [Stardust Wyvern] from my deck!"

As a soft stardust glow fell, a small, juvenile, silver-white dragon gracefully landed on the field.

A crystal-clear purple gem sparkled on its chest. It looked around curiously, making a clear, melodious chirping sound.

[Stardust Dragon] [1 Star]

[Light/Dragon] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 0]

The formation was now fully in place. You Yang slowly raised his head, his eyes, burning with crimson-gold flames, fixed intently on the high and mighty Queen of Hearts, a cold smile curving his lips:

"Haven't you always been proud of the gods?"

"Then, I'll let you open your eyes wide and see what the true power of the Synchronization God is!"

boom--!

The extremely violent red light shone and surged more brightly on You Yang's body, while an extremely dazzling and sacred golden light began to converge madly into his right hand.

You Yang suddenly opened his eyes wide, his hand flashing out a sharp afterimage as he drew a card from the extra deck!

It was originally a blank Synchro card with only a white border and nothing in the center!

But the moment You Yang pulled it out, accompanied by his resounding declaration, ancient crimson patterns, as vibrant as life itself, began to spread and appear wildly on the blank card!

"Roar--!"

The majestic red dragon hovering above the shattered sky suddenly let out a resounding roar that shook the heavens and earth and shattered the soul!

Its enormous body instantly transformed into a crimson pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, and with the force of splitting the world, it crashed into the card in You Yang's hand that was undergoing a miraculous transformation!

"Let us become one at this moment!"

You Yang raised the card, which carried the power of the gods, high and roared at the top of his lungs:

"I'll use the [Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon] and [Stardust Synchro] on the field for the final Star Tuning!"

Om-!

Two monsters radiating stardust light instantly responded to the call, transforming into two extremely dazzling streams of light that soared into the sky.

The dazzling and holy white light, intertwined with golden divine radiance, showered upon everyone present like a warm meteor shower, instantly dispelling the suffocating, chilling deathly atmosphere within the Red Heart Castle.

Youyang's chanting seemed to resonate throughout the entire higher-dimensional universe:

"The power of antiquity awakens within me, and the concentrated starlight transforms into ancient prophecies!"

"The prophesied deity will appear in this world!"

"Summon Synchro Summon! Descend, [Red Dragon]!"

Snapped!

You Yang slammed the God Card, which had been completely transformed, heavily onto the absolute center of the Duel Disk!

Rumble—!

The entire virtual world trembled under the immense pressure of this immeasurable force.

Amidst the blinding crimson divine light, the legendary god, whose body was engulfed in undying divine flames and exuded an ancient and boundless aura, slowly lowered his proud head and, in an extremely awe-inspiring manner, truly descended upon You Yang's dueling arena!

[Red Dragon] [12 Stars]

[Light/Synchro/Dragon] [Attack: 0 / Defense: 0]

Faced with that immense power originating from antiquity and born of divinity, the Queen of Hearts' hand, which was tightly gripping her scepter, began to tremble uncontrollably.

Only at this moment did this self-proclaimed virtual god truly feel a chill run through his bones.

This is the true god.

Before this colossal dragon radiating undying divine flames, there was an insurmountable gap in their status!
