I'm in Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I'm also in Machine Ascension.

"That's right, Yufeng... Your understanding of card duels has reached such a detailed level, it truly amazes me..."

In that instant, the [Continuous Spell] card exploded and was sent to the graveyard, accompanied by Lishid's deep voice.

"However... this ineffectiveness of your restraints will only last for a short time!"

As Lishid spoke, his thick finger pointed once again at "Malik" in the arena:

"Based on this card's effect: You can activate this effect during your Main Phase. During the End Phase of this turn, add 1 [Gravekeeper] monster or 1 [Valley of the Slumber] card from your Deck to your hand."

"Therefore, in the next turn, I can continue to restrict your Special Summoning, and..."

At this moment, Lishid also raised his head high, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in Shenmu's eyes:

"I don't believe you, Youfeng, can turn the tide in one turn..."

After confidently explaining the effects of his cards, Rishid immediately commanded his monsters into the battle phase, directly destroying a [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] that was facing away from Yuufu, and then ended his turn. As expected, he then drew a new [Temple of the Valley of Sleep].

...

"In that case, perhaps only one [Cyber ​​Ender Dragon] in Youfeng's deck can bypass the attack power of this powerful card..."

"Given the synergy between the game and the deck, I'm not surprised that I could draw [Fusion] and fuse three cards from my hand to create [Cyber ​​Ender Dragon]..."

"But with the opponent successively restricting Graveyard Effects and Special Summoning, even though the restriction on Special Summoning is temporarily lifted, there are still face-down cards in the back row... It's very likely they've already prepared a counter-attack against a powerful summon of [Cyber ​​Ender Dragon] by Yuufuku..."

Amidst Seto Kaiba's slightly thoughtful tone, Yugi Muto, who was deeply entangled with the "Grave Guardians," also sighed softly.

"That's true... Given the opponent's attack power, it's impossible they didn't anticipate preparing to deal with the [Electronic Terminator Dragon]..."

"This attack power is just right to disable the other [Electronic Style] terminal monsters in Yuufuji..."

...

Faced with Lishid's apparent determination to snowball and utterly extinguish any hope of victory, and his re-establishment of the Temple of the Valley of Sleep, Youfeng nodded with a slight sigh:

"This place you've set up is indeed a bit unsettling. The core of it is the [Valley of Mother's Eternal Rest], right?"

"But I remember your [Gravekeeper] ability should have an effect that protects both your monster and the [Field Spell] area as long as [Valley of the Kings' Sleep] is present, right?"

"This is like a series of nested dolls! Most people really couldn't handle this..."

After a brief complaint, Youfeng quickly perked up and entered his turn to draw cards, pointing his finger to the top of his main deck on his duel disk:

"If you search for [Hall of the Valley of Sleep] this turn and continue to pressure the game next turn... then next turn you'll probably search for cards like [King's Tomb of the Valley of Sleep], right? Another three-color counter, another [Counter Trap], if you really get that, I really won't have any chance at all..."

"But I'm going to take advantage of the fact that your [Temple of the Valley of Sleep] is off the field this turn, and I'll defeat you right now!"

"My turn, draw a card!"

"I'll just print out a [Fusion] card right now!"

Soon, a light flashed in Yu Feng's palm, and a low-level [Cyber ​​Dragon] monster stared at Yu Feng's hand. The small, unusual Cyber ​​Dragon on the card seemed to be showing Yu Feng a "demonstrative" smile.

"Good grief... you're just going to forcefully block my hand, huh?"

"I've been playing Cyber ​​Dragon for three rounds now, and my hand is almost entirely filled with Cyber ​​Dragons. Is this normal? It's not normal at all!"

"Old friend, is it any use in me to repent now? I promise I'll never launch you again, please stop messing with me..."

Soon, amidst Youfeng's helpless voice, Malik behind Lishid even revealed his teeth in a "merciless mockery":

"It's truly pathetic to be disliked by your own deck, Yuufu..."

After mocking Yugi, the deeply resentful Malik didn't forget to continue "ridiculing" and suppressing his nemesis, Yugi Muto:

"It seems your companions have also suffered misfortune because of you... Hmph, this is probably a true manifestation of the isolation of those who act unjustly..."

...

The next second, looking at his almost completely blocked hand, Yuuki, with a helpless expression, took another breath. Facing Malik's verbal sparring, a mischievous smile immediately appeared on his lips. His nimble fingers moved from the Cyber ​​Dragon monster to a high-level monster in his hand:

"Solevadocana (that's not necessarily true) --"

"Although my [Electronic Dragon] threw a little tantrum, I still called in outside help—"

"How about I just give you this high-star 'treasure' right now, Lishid?"

"Now, I'm going to perform a Special Summon, but not on my field, but on yours... Although your field is really tough for most people, it's incredibly strong!... But I'll just summon a Kaiju directly!"

30. You never thought you'd see this day, did you, sunny boy Malik!

"My...my precious baby?!"

In an instant, as if sensing the "full of malice" in Youfeng's voice, Malik's eyes widened sharply at those three words.

"I don't know what this kid is up to... but giving someone such a precious gift... why does this sound so familiar..."

"Is it...or is it possible?"

Soon, amidst Malik's hesitant and surprised voice, the next second...

Lishid, who was in front of him and was officially dueling with Youfeng, showed a fleeting look of surprise, but quickly regained his composure:

"What does this mean?! Even if it's a special summon, it's not like I can't rush it."

As Yufeng seemed to be planning a Special Summon, Lishid, somewhat expecting this, placed his finger in his back row area, seemingly ready to reveal his back row cards at any moment to launch a counterattack.

but...

The next second, as everyone's gaze focused on the open space between the two, which served as the dueling arena, a uniquely designed evil monster, resembling a hybrid of Iris from Gamera and Gegan from Godzilla, appeared between Yufeng and Rishid with a red body clad in black armor, as Yufeng played this monster card.

【Bad Star Beast Gizuchiel】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 10]

[Attack power: 3300]

[Defense: 2600]

However, just as Lishid was about to activate the face-down cards hidden in his back row to counter the special summon of Youfeng, he immediately discovered a surprising fact—

"Yufeng...Yufeng actually summoned a monster to the opponent's field? What kind of move is that?!"

Soon, accompanied by a puzzled voice from Jonouchi Katsuya, and the appearance of this 10-star mechanical monster, amidst the somewhat bewildered gazes of the crowd.

It was also suddenly discovered that "Malik" - [Gravekeeper], which originally had a ATK of 3700 in Lishid's field, was also sent to the graveyard as a sacrifice after the appearance of this giant Machine-Type monster.

Faced with the extremely astonished looks of the crowd, You Feng smiled and explained:

"The Special Summoning condition for this card, 【Bad Star Beast - Gizzile】, is: You can Tribute 1 monster your opponent controls to Special Summon it from your hand in Attack Position to your opponent's field."

"So, I freed your 'Malik' (the Gravekeeper) and directly placed a Kaiju card on your field..."

"Didn't expect that, did you, sunny boy Malik, would have a day like this..."

After giving a slightly mocking look to Malik, who was somewhat humiliated by the loss of his powerful monster, Yufeng turned his gaze to the burly duelist Rishid, who was fighting him:

"From 7 stars to 10 stars, you've made a profit, Lishid."

...

As the gentle breeze swayed in the breeze, everyone was instantly filled with a sense of wonder at this unique summoning method:

"What operation is this?"

"Use the opponent's monster as a tribute to Special Summon a monster for them..."

"This operation sounds a bit strange..."

Amidst Katsuya's questioning expression, Malik also watched the boy with a tense demeanor. The dark-skinned boy even seemed to tighten his grip on his card box, seemingly in response to this approach that was somewhat similar to his own.

One of the mysterious high-star cards is a precious treasure that Malik has carefully laid in wait, ready to surprise everyone in the upcoming Duel City tournament...

"Damn it, this kid actually revealed such a powerful tactic beforehand?"

...

But faced with Malik's tense voice, Youfeng shook his head at the white-haired boy with a hint of disdain:

"Don't worry, Malik... this thing isn't as sinister as your [Lava Demon - Love's Dummy] card. It doesn't have any negative effects like burning incense..."

Soon, along with Yufeng's explanation, it was actually Jonouchi Katsuya, who had initially been puzzled by the logic behind Yufeng's "miraculous" actions, who quickly crossed his arms and examined the uniquely designed monster card that seemed to be destroying the city—a monster of catastrophic magnitude.

"However, although the Special Summon did break the mutual protection between the Gravekeeper monster on the opponent's field and the King's Slumber Valley monster in the Field Spell Zone..."

"But this monster also has a whopping 3300 attack power. Even a mediocre Fusion monster from the Wind deck wouldn't be able to get past it easily, right?"

While Jonouchi wore a thoughtful expression, Yugi Muto also observed the scene and shook his head slightly.

"Jonnouchi... at this point, talking about attack power is meaningless. What Yuuka sent over was a [Machine Race] monster!"

Soon, as Yugi Muto looked on with a brief expression of surprise, as if to say, "So that's how you win," Jonouchi scratched his blond hair and exclaimed with delight, as if waking from a dream:

"Oh right...so next..."

...

Before Jonouchi Katsuya could even voice his astonished speculation, Yuuka immediately unleashed a vintage metallic dragon—a creature with a "simple and unadorned" appearance and a predominantly black body—onto the field.

"Next, after I Special Summon [Bad Planet Kaiju - Gizzier] to your field, the situation remains the same: you are the only one with a monster on your field..."

"Then I can directly Special Summon this alternate art version of Cyber ​​Dragon - Sebadorgon from my hand in face-up Attack Position!"

In an instant, a dazzling light crackling with electricity appeared in the arena, and then, a classic mechanical dragon made entirely of metal appeared before everyone:

【Electronic Dragon】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 5]

[Attack power: 2100]

[Defense: 1600]

The moment this monster appeared, Rishid, Yufeng's opponent, was instantly shaken, and a hint of gloom flashed across his face marked with ancient symbols.

"Hmph... Next up is the classic part..."
