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

This peace was not forcibly suppressed by some powerful external object, nor was it imprisoned by an ancient seal.

On the contrary, it's more like the underlying program of the entire virtual world has been deeply infected by some kind of advanced virus, thus obeying You Yang without reservation and being forcibly given the highest command of stillness by his invisible will!

You Yang suddenly swung his arm, his fingertips slicing through the air like sharp swords.

"I've added the [Final Dragon Chaos Emperor] and Link-3's [Triple Shot Dragon] to the link markers!"

boom!

With Youyang's supreme command, the [End Dragon Chaos Emperor] and [Triple Shot Dragon] on the field suddenly disintegrated in mid-air, transforming into four abnormally violent, intertwined data streams that shot straight into the gloomy sky.

The data stream representing the "Triple Shot Dragon" split into three, crashing into the massive blue connecting array that suddenly unfolded in mid-air with overwhelming force!

You Yang raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp, cold light, and loudly chanted the hymn that brought destruction:

"May the ultimate scramble that devours the world transform into a forbidden virus that obliterates all existence!"

"In the final act of destruction, reshape the underlying truth of this void!"

"Link Summon! Descend, Link-4—[Topology-Tampering Infected Dragon]!!"

boom----------!!!

A sharp, electronic shriek, loud enough to shatter the eardrums of everyone present, resounded throughout the venue.

A colossal mechanical dragon, brimming with a bizarre, electronic technological feel and seemingly crawling out of a cyber abyss, brutally tore through the shackles of dimensions and descended upon this scorched earth, accompanied by a shower of random code!

Its body is completely covered with heavy composite armor that is a deep indigo blue and dark black.

Its silver neck, with its distinct layers and interlocking segments like a metallic serpent, was raised high.

At the very center of its deep blue mechanical dragon head, a high-precision electronic eye, emitting a bluish-green light, is fixedly locked onto its prey without any emotion.

On the broad armored surface of its shoulders and back, highly aggressive cyan-green geometric light patterns flowed, and the constantly flashing upward-pointing luminous arrows were almost like materialized deadly virus code.

Its arms were thick and full of explosive mechanical hydraulic power. At the ends of its arms, several extremely sharp, huge silver claws extended out, gleaming with a cold, eerie light in the dim light.

Behind its massive body, several thick black steel spikes stand tall like sharp swords, sending chills down one's spine and making one shudder at just a glance.

[Topology-Tampering Infected Dragon] [LINK-4] [Dark/Link/Cybernetic] [Attack Power: 3000] [Link Marker: Up/Down/Left/Right]

Before the dragon's roar had faded, You Yang's movements continued as fluid as flowing water.

He swept his fingers across his hand and deftly drew three cards: "Next, I'll place three cards face down on the field!"

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Three cards exuding a dangerous aura were placed without hesitation on the devastated battlefield.

Upon seeing this scene, the people hiding in the rear positions looked at each other, and a thought involuntarily arose in their minds.

Is You Yang's dazzling series of developments finally signaling the end of the round?

Logically speaking, Youyang already has a terrifying Link-5 and two Link-4 monsters standing proudly on his field, which is already a decent lineup.

But for some reason, a feeling of indescribable discomfort welled up in everyone's hearts.

The feeling was like seeing a perfect work of art that was about to be completed, but was forcibly stopped at the most crucial last step.

what is this?

Is this a duel version of the Inch Stop Challenge?

Compared to the frustration in everyone's hearts, Gu Qingyuan, who was facing this oppressive feeling, still tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his pale face, but the hands hidden under his sleeves loosened slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh? Is this all there is to it?"

Gu Qingyuan curled his lips into a cold smile, feigning ease, and spoke sarcastically.

"After all that effort, your venue doesn't even look that great?"

Even so, a hint of apprehension still lingered in his eyes as he stared intently at You Yang.

He was afraid that You Yang, this unpredictable guy, would suddenly pull out some strange card that he had never heard of before, just like the unsolvable God of Light before.

The strong wind tousled the stray hairs on Youyang's forehead.

He stood quietly in place, gazing intently at the last card in his hand, and then sighed softly.

Is it over?

You Yang's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

He slowly raised his eyes, a dazzling light suddenly flashing in his golden pupils: "Is it possible..."

"My real turn is only just beginning!"

Swish!

You Yang suddenly flipped his wrist, revealing the card that had been hidden in the shadows amidst the raging storm!

"I activate the effect of my monster—[Morph Dragon Vortex Primordial God]!"

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned."

"You can only Special Summon a monster by sacrificing a total of 3 LIGHT and DARK monsters from your Graveyard as a cost!"

You Yang's large hand pointed directly at the shimmering, eerie graveyard, his voice booming like thunder:

"I hereby remove from the graveyard the three guardian dragons: [Guardian Dragon Elbi], [Guardian Dragon Visti], and [Guardian Dragon Agapein]!"

As You Yang issued his authoritative command, three blinding beams of pure black light suddenly erupted from the excluded area of ​​the Duel Disk.

These rays of light shot into the sky like shooting stars flying in reverse, colliding and twisting violently in mid-air, eventually transforming into a deep, dark purple-black chaotic vortex that constantly emanated an ominous aura.

At the very center of the giant vortex, the void continued to collapse and compress, slowly condensing into a pure black chaotic sphere.

The surface of the sphere shimmered with an unusual luster, radiating an ancient, boundless energy and fluctuations that seemed to originate from the creation of the world.

You Yang raised his head, his eyes reflecting the churning chaos, and his resounding call echoed through the heavens:

"Intertwined light and darkness give birth to a vortex of destruction at the edge of the chaotic abyss!"

"Tear apart the boundary between life and death, and reveal the divine power of the progenitor to all things!"

Special Summon!

"Descend, Level 8—[Primordial God of the Chaotic Dragon Vortex]!"

roar--!!

With a furious dragon roar that could shatter the heavens and the clouds, an ancient dragon covered in pure silver and sharp scales rampaged through the void from the purplish-black chaotic vortex, descending fiercely upon Youyang's defenses with a wind pressure that could tear everything apart!

Its body is slender and sharp, without an ounce of excess fat, like a peerless divine sword that has just broken its shackles and drunk blood.

The edges of the silver-white armor covering the entire body gleamed with a cold and deadly metallic luster in the dim light.

On its majestic dragon head stands a single, incomparably sharp horn, and in its eyes, which are like two purplish-red demonic moons, emanates a divine pressure that is high above and disdainful of all living things in the world.

Its wide dragon wings, shaped like countless sharp blades pieced together, suddenly unfolded in the gale.

At the edges of its sturdy wing bones and the rough gaps in its chest armor, a chaotic, bluish-green light energy flowed and surged, almost too bright to look at directly.

The chaotic orb of black and white magic that had been there just moments before was now quietly hovering above its head, like a beating heart, continuously injecting terrifying power—power capable of destroying the world—into its massive body.

【Mixed Origin Dragon Vortex Progenitor God】【Level 8】【DARK/Special Summon/Dragon】【ATK: 3000 / DEF: 0】

"At the very moment it arrived!"

Youyang's offensive was like a storm, aimed directly at the newly appeared dragon. "[Primordial God of Chaos Dragon Vortex] effect activated!"

"This card can only be activated if it is successfully Special Summoned through its own means."

"Depending on the attribute of the monster that was banished for that Special Summon, the following specific effects will apply."

"However, as a trade-off, this card itself cannot declare an attack during this turn."

"● Light Only: Special Summon 1 monster from your Graveyard in Defense Position."

"● Only DARK: Randomly select 1 card from your opponent's hand and return it to the deck."

"● Light and Dark: Destroy up to 2 cards on the field."

You Yang's gaze was sharp as lightning, fixed on Gu Qingyuan opposite him.

"And the three guardian dragon monsters I summoned just now were all dark attribute monsters!"

"Therefore, it will trigger the second effect!"

It's actually targeting the destruction of your hand?!

Upon hearing this announcement, Gu Qingyuan, who was standing on the blood lotus, immediately turned grim, and the composure he had been barely maintaining was finally torn apart.

In such a life-or-death situation where every second counts, the importance of hand resources is self-evident, and what he fears most is You Yang making such a ruthless move.

However, You Yang's plan was clearly not limited to this. He had no intention of stopping. He suddenly drew his finger in mid-air and pointed directly at another steel dragon on his field that exuded a cyberpunk aura!

"This isn't over yet!"

"I'll continue with the chain!"

You Yang's voice boomed like a bell, "The effects of the chain [Mixed Origin Dragon Giant Vortex Progenitor God] and the effects of [Topology Alteration Infected Dragon] are forcibly activated!"

"As long as this card is in the Monster Zone, if any other monster is Special Summoned into the Link Zone pointed to by any Link Monster, this effect will be activated!"

"You must randomly discard any number of cards from your hand (maximum 2 cards)."

Swish!Swish!

Two blinding beams of data light shot out from the mechanical core of the [Topology Tampering Infected Dragon], precisely piercing through the two cards held tightly in You Yang's hand, shattering them into countless data light fragments in mid-air!

"He actually deliberately ruined his own hand?!"

Gu Qingyuan's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he muttered to himself with a furrowed brow, "Is all this trouble just to send some key card to the graveyard?"

Hearing Gu Qingyuan's suspicious whisper, You Yang, at the center of the storm, turned his head slightly.

He first nodded noncommittally, then a deeper, more unfathomable smile appeared on his lips as he gently shook his head.

Sending resources to the graveyard is certainly part of the tactic.

You Yang's eyes gleamed with a sharp glint, like a chess player in complete control. "But on the other hand..."

"Of course, it's because the [Topology-altering Infected Dragon] effect has a deadly follow-up effect!"

You Yang suddenly waved his large hand, pointing directly at the bewildered Gu Qingyuan, "After that, as punishment, the opposing player must also randomly discard an equal number of cards from our hand!"

"What did you say?!"
