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

"You can activate this effect by sending both the equipped monster and this card from your field to the Graveyard at the cost of sending them."

"Draw two cards directly from your deck."

"I send the Magic Wand and the Right Arm of the Sealed One to the Graveyard, and draw two more cards from my Deck!"

With a forceful wave of his hand, You Yang's emerald wand immediately shone with dazzling brilliance, transforming into emerald light that coalesced in his hand along with his right arm.

This pure power made him draw two cards from his deck without hesitation.

"At this moment, my graveyard once again contains magic cards!"

You Yang's eyes were as cold as a machine's. "Therefore, the effect of [Treasure-Hunting Panda] is activated again!"

"I will completely banish the Magic Wand from the graveyard!"

Special Summon [The Left Foot of the Sealed One] from the Deck!

A left foot, tightly bound and restrained by heavy golden chains, suddenly appeared on You Yang's field.

[The Sealed One's Left Foot] [★1] [Dark/Mage Race] [Attack: 200 / Defense: 300]

"Unlimited filtration?"

Seeing the dismembered limbs appearing one after another on the field, Gu Qingyuan's lifeless eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you trying to gather all the Dark Mages for a special victory?"

Although Gu Qingyuan himself was not very proficient in duels, he was aware of the special effects of the Dark Archmage.

Over the long years, after acquiring this set of cards, he studied it carefully and discovered that these five ancient cards actually contained a rather strong sense of self.

It's almost impossible to collect all the cards unless you completely drain the entire deck, unless you're dealing with someone it truly recognizes.

Since he couldn't easily control it, he simply made a copy and gave it to his subordinates to study slowly.

He never expected to see this set of cards here again.

Moreover, You Yang, who is on the other side, is a fellow countryman from another dimension, just like himself, and would certainly not gain the approval of the Dark Archmage.

Or was You Yang simply trying his luck with his eyes closed in despair?

Even after his plan was recognized at a glance, You Yang's expression remained as cold as an iceberg.

In any case, he never intended to deliberately hide this straightforward tactic from the beginning!

A pure and dazzling white starlight suddenly blazed up at Youyang's fingertips without warning.

He suddenly grabbed the two cards from the duel disk, his high-pitched announcement piercing the oppressive wind around him:

"I will adjust the star rating of the level 1 [Left Foot of the Sealed One] and the level 1 [Infernal Guardian Dragon] on the field!"

"May our gathered prayers lead to a horizon of new speed, and become a path of shining light!"

"Summoning of Synchro, the power of hope!"

"Synchronizer, Formula Synchronizer!"

boom--!

As the synchro aura penetrated, amidst the pure, flawless white light, a monster resembling a miniature Formula One race car with an incredibly sleek and fast-moving design made a dramatic entrance with a deafening engine roar!

Its body gleamed with a cold metallic luster on the dim battlefield, its tires screeching through the air, ready to speed away at any moment.

[Formula Synchronizer] [2 Stars]

[Light/Adjustment/Mechanical Race] [Attack: 200 / Defense: 1500]

"Next, I immediately activated the [Formula Synchron] entry effect!"

"This effect can only be triggered when this card is successfully Synchro Summoned, allowing you to draw 1 card directly from your Deck."

As You Yang announced this, the engines of the Formula Synchronizer parked on the field roared, and its streamlined body suddenly lit up with a dazzling white streak.

This synchronized energy transformed into a stream of light, precisely flowing into Youyang's Duel Disk deck slot.

You Yang's gaze turned cold, and he quickly drew a card from the top of the deck and added it to his hand.

He merely glanced coldly at the card out of the corner of his eye, then flipped his wrist and, without hesitation, forcefully shoved it into the magic activation slot of the Duel Disk.

"I activate the magic card directly from my hand—[Purgatory of Nothingness]!"

You Yang shouted, "This card can only be activated if you have 3 or more cards in your hand."

"I can draw one more card from my deck, but in return, I must discard all the cards in my hand to the graveyard during the end phase of this turn!"

A dark, deep light quietly enveloped the illusory card in You Yang's hand. Despite the cost of this destructive aura, You Yang drew another card from his deck.

"The gears are still turning, and then I activate the monster effect of [Treasure Panda] again!"

You Yang's fingers flew across the Graveyard area as he quickly tapped, "I will banish the Spell Card [Purgatory of Nothingness] that I just sent to the Graveyard as a price!"

Special Summon the last [Infernal Guardian Dragon] from your Deck!

The raging flames soared into the sky for the third time in the dueling arena. In the rolling sea of ​​fire, the [Infernal Guardian Dragon], with its steel dragon body covered in heavy blue armor, once again made a deafening roar and made a fierce appearance!

【Infernal Guardian Dragon】【★1】【Fire/Adjustment/Dragon】【Attack: 100 / Defense: 2000】

The moment the monster landed, You Yang didn't hesitate and immediately revealed another card from his hand!

"It's not over yet! Next, I'll activate the Quick-Play Spell Card—[Load]!"

You Yang spoke very quickly, “Put all the cards in your hand back into the deck and shuffle them.”

"After that, I will draw a completely new hand containing the exact same number of cards as those I put back into the deck!"

You Yang gathered the remaining cards in his hand and pushed them back into the deck slot.

The Duel Disk immediately emitted a crisp and high-speed automatic cutting sound, as if the wheel of fate was spinning rapidly.

As soon as the notification sound for the end of the shuffle rang, You Yang spread his five fingers and drew six cards from the top of the deck in one go, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves!

The strong wind made Youyang's clothes flutter loudly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze quickly sweeping over the six brand-new cards in his hand.

However, instead of immediately activating the new cards in his hand, he raised his arm once more and pointed directly at the hardworking treasure-hunting beast in front of him.

"I'm activating the [Treasure Hunting Panda] effect on the field once again!"

You Yang's voice echoed across the empty battlefield, "Remove the Quick-Play Spell Card [Load] from the Graveyard!"

Special Summon [The Left Arm of the Sealed One] from your Deck!

The void tore open, and a withered left hand, tightly bound by heavy black chains, appeared out of thin air, silently hovering in mid-air with an ancient pressure!

[The Sealed One's Left Arm] [★1] [Dark/Mage Race] [Attack: 200 / Defense: 300]

"Next, I activate the spell card from my hand—[Pot of Greed]!"

You Yang slapped out a card that exuded an aura of greed, "Draw two more cards from the deck!"

After carefully placing the two newly drawn cards into his palm, a piercing glint flashed in You Yang's eyes. He chose to mechanically and emotionlessly trigger the panda's effect again.

"I will exclude the Pot of Greed from the graveyard!"

Special Summon [The Right Foot of the Sealed One] from the Deck!

With another flash of ancient light, the right foot, which was tightly bound by heavy chains, suddenly appeared on Youyang's position!

[The Sealed One's Right Foot] [★1] [Dark/Mage Race] [Attack: 200 / Defense: 300]

As more and more sealed cards gathered on the field, the suffocating sense of oppression grew stronger.

At this moment, You Yang suddenly changed his tactical rhythm: "Next, I will adjust the star level of the level 2 [Formula Synchron] and the level 1 [Right Foot of the Sealed] on the field!"

Synchro Summon!

"Break free from the shackles of the deep sea and transform into a streak of light soaring through the sky!"

"Level 3! [Dragon Son]!"

Surrounded by dazzling, harmonious starlight, a young dragon, its body entirely brown and brimming with life and agility, let out a tender dragon roar, flapped its short wings, and flew away from the light, landing lightly on Youyang's field.

[Dragon Child] [3-Star] [Water/Adjustment/Phantom Dragon Race] [Attack: 1700 / Defense: 500]

"It's not over yet. I'll activate the [Golden Goblin] spell again!"

The light on Youyang's duel disk flashed again, "Draw another card from your deck!"

Seeing You Yang's insane filtration speed, everyone watching from behind held their breath.

Just when everyone naturally assumed that Youyang would continue to activate the effect of [Treasure Panda] to Special Summon monsters to fill the field,

In the midst of the raging wind, only You Yang himself knew perfectly well that he no longer had any monsters left to special summon.

Because of this extraction system, all the normal monsters he had built in his deck this time had been completely summoned in that series of summons.

And the final core component of the "Dark Archmage," capable of bringing absolute victory...

Its true form is not a regular monster, but a genuine "effect monster"!

Since we've run out of Normal Monsters in our deck, that's the only option we have left!

You Yang's gaze sharpened, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes. He suddenly raised his arm and revealed a card to Gu Qingyuan opposite him.

At the same time, the Synchro Dragon [Dragon Child] circling around his field seemed to sense its master's will, flapping its wings and emitting a series of clear and cheerful dragon roars!

"At this moment, the special effect of [Dragon Son] activates!"

You Yang's voice echoed across the empty battlefield.

"When this card is used as Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon, 1 monster in my hand can also be used as Synchro Material!"

"I'll adjust the Level 3 Dragon Child on the field and the Level 4 Effect Monster Summoner Monk in my hand!"

You Yang raised his hands high, and a dazzling halo of synchronized light instantly unfolded in mid-air, completely enveloping the two figures, one large and one small:

"May the sacred light of protection now merge with each other in the chaos, transforming into eternal life that illuminates the shattered shadows of destruction!"

"Summon Synchro Summon! Descend, [Ancient Fairy Dragon]!"

boom!

Within that holy, harmonious radiance, a vibrant emerald light shot into the sky like a sword breaking the dawn!

Accompanied by a clear and melodious dragon's roar, the [Ancient Fairy Dragon], representing absolute vitality and flawless protection, flapped its magnificent, crystalline wings, just like an elf's, and made a grand entrance into this deathly silent dueling arena!

[Ancient Fairy Dragon] [7-Star] [Light/Synchro/Dragon] [Attack: 2100 / Defense: 3000]
