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

At this moment, the focus of everyone's attention, Seto Kaiba, who had already foreshadowed the direction of the upcoming match, let out a soft snort.

At this moment, Youfeng's face also revealed a strong aura as he pointed his finger at the two monsters in the arena:

"That's right, there are two Machine-type monsters on the field now. I don't need the [Fusion] spell anymore, I can fuse them directly!"

"Rolling a tire!"

31. Tire Dragon: Eating you and then rolling your tire, how satisfying!

Soon before this Fusion Summon, Yuu had already Special Summoned Cyber ​​Dragon 4 from his hand to the field using the Cyber ​​Dragon effect, which allows it to jump out of the hand. Then, he consciously looked towards the Trap Zone in the backrow, outside of the Field Spell "Mother's Valley" that the bald, long-braided, burly man relied on...

After a moment's hesitation, he then chose to play a [Spell] card from his hand:

"Well then, before we start rolling the tires, let me clear out your area first."

"Look closely, this is the only [Spell] card in my hand that I'm currently playing—a [Feather Duster] plucked from the tail of the [Harpie] from the Peacock Dance!"

Soon, accompanied by a flash of green light, a long, clearly green [Eagle Girl] feather appeared before Youfeng, and then immediately appeared before everyone:

"Based on the effect of this [Normal Spell] card: Destroy all Spell & Trap cards on your opponent's field!"

"That includes... of course, your [Field Magic] area, [Valley of the King's Sleep]... Your [Field Magic] is completely unprotected this time, isn't it, Lishid..."

Just as Youfeng activated the effect with a smile, waving the giant feather fiercely towards Lishid's back row, Lishid, as his opponent, helplessly shook his head, responding with silence:

"..."

The next second, with a loud "bang", the back row spell traps in the field were destroyed and sent to the graveyard by the "feather swivel".

Soon, amidst the crimson hue, Youfeng also gazed at the ravaged red crater of Lishid. Although he was somewhat prepared, he still couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment:

"Good heavens, both cards are red pits... That's terrifying..."

"So, as long as you use [Mother's Valley], no matter how normal the duelist is, the deck will start to look like something out of a nightmare...?"

"Moreover, he's Malik's subordinate..."

Soon, amidst You Feng's lingering fear and sarcastic remarks, Malik's arm holding the golden scepter even trembled slightly with anger for a moment:

"What a troublesome kid!"

...

Meanwhile, Seto Kaiba, seeing that among the backrow cards that Rishid had just had swept away by "Harpie's Feather Duster" was indeed a Trap Card that forcibly changed to "Defense Position" the instant Yuu summoned a monster, nodded with a slight flicker in his eyes:

"As expected... he intends to use this method to deal with Yufeng's [Cyber ​​Dragon]... I must say... this duelist certainly has a certain understanding of Yufeng's [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck..."

But at this moment, as everyone expressed their slight感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions or reflections) about the scene, only the "yellow-haired boy," Jonouchi Katsuya, seemed to sense something was amiss:

"Wait... Yufeng, where did you get this [Feather Broom] from?!"

"Did I hear that right? You went and clung to the Harpie's tail?! And Mai is actually letting it go?"

"..."

...

Faced with this situation, Yugi Muto looked at the two differently shaped [Cebatoragon] shimmering in the Wind Arena and the enormous mechanical behemoth in the opponent's arena, and nodded firmly:

"However, with this, there are now a total of three [Machine-type] monsters on the field, right?"

"If we can boost our attack power to 3000 points, although we won't achieve an OTK (One-Turn Kill) kill, victory is practically guaranteed..."

Seto Kaiba and Katsuya Jonouchi, unusually sharing the same attitude, both showed a hint of regret in their eyes.

"Hmph... Do I have to fight another round if I don't get enough points?"

...

But at that moment, Youfeng, who was controlling this round, chuckled and shook his head with a look of "unconvinced":

"??? Why would you think that?"

"If I can't OTK (One-K Kill), what's the point of playing Cyber ​​Dragon?!"

"For us Cyber ​​Dragon players, spending 4000 is just the basics, okay!"

After clearing away all obstacles, Yufeng drew another "Primal Cyber ​​Dragon" from his hand this turn and played it directly:

"You seem to have forgotten that I haven't performed a valuable [Normal] Summon this turn!"

"Although I'm stuck with a lot of monsters, at this moment, for Roller, monster resources have become a greater advantage—Cyber ​​Dragon isn't rejecting me, it's just accompanying me in a more loving way!"

"Now, I will immediately summon this [Primal Cyber ​​Dragon] in face-up attack position!"

In an instant, accompanied by a renewed surge of electricity, a black, primitive, ancient-looking mechanical electronic dragon appeared before everyone in a very retro manner:

【Original Cyber ​​Dragon】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: light]

【Level: 3】

[Attack power: 1100]

[Defense: 600]

"Now, there are 4 Machine-Type monsters on the field. I'll use them all as materials and perform a Fusion without using a Fusion Spell Card—"

"Come out, old friend!"

In an instant, accompanied by a huge electronic howl that reverberated throughout the entire arena, the pervasive electric current surged forth, centered on the [Electronic Dragon] in the Wind Field, and spread towards the [Bad Star Beast Giziel] in the Rishid Field.

Soon, the [Kaiju], which had been Special Summoned from Yuufuku's hand to the field and was seemingly wreaking havoc, also seemed to malfunction under the interference of this electric current. It fell into a state of chaos, and its huge body was greatly disturbed.

Then, under this distorted power, it was instantly drawn in by the [Electronic Dragon] in the Wind Field, and finally, under the intense rotation of the fusion vortex.

The powerful fusion monster of the Machine race, the Chimera Fortress Dragon, which possesses the ability to sweep away everything, also made its appearance instantly, showing off in an extremely cool pose.

[Chimeric Fortress Dragon]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attribute: Dark]

【Level: 8】

[Attack power: 0→4000]

[Defense: 0]

"It's...it's out...the Tire Dragon, the Machine Race's big daddy..."

Soon, amidst the gasps of amazement from the "yellow-haired" boy in the city, Seto Kaiba, the tallest and most imposing boy in the white trench coat, who was watching the battle, crossed his arms and nodded with great satisfaction.

"4000 points?!"

"Hmph, not bad... Just like my Blue-Eyes White Dragon is the king of all dragons... Yufeng's Cyber ​​Dragon is also the king of machines... This kind of opponent is truly exciting!"

Accompanied by Seto Kaiba's slightly excited and agitated voice, Yugi Muto, who had stood up, quickly nodded in agreement:

"That's right, that's exactly it... Although the opponent's [Gravekeeper] is protected by [Valley of the King's Sleep] and its effect won't be destroyed, being released as a condition for a [Kaibun] Special Summon doesn't count as an effect destruction at all..."

"Using [Kaibaku] to devour the opponent, and then rolling a tire around, that's quite a powerful move!"

Soon, even though Yami Yugi was dominating the perspective, Yugi Muto nodded with considerable emotion and affirmation after feeling the overwhelming momentum in Yuuki's duel.

...

At that very moment, Youfeng directly commanded the [Chimera Fortress Dragon] with 4000 attack power to launch a final attack against the now completely empty field of Lishid:

"Let's advance to Battle Tier now—Cyber ​​Dragon, ikuze (Let's go!)!"

32. Seahorse: Trying to run? I summon my right fist with a side attack!

Just as Youfeng entered the battle with great momentum, Lishid, whose face was marked with ancient characters, also showed a hint of unwillingness amidst his uncertain expression.

"Since there are no monsters in your area, this attack will be a direct attack!"

"Chimera Fortress Dragon! chyokketsu-kougeki (Direct Attack) — Evolution-Result-Artillery (Evolutionary End Light)!!!"

Soon, following Youfeng's command, the structure in the arena, whose entire body was made of crimson purple tire-like fortresses, immediately opened four fortresses, from which the bright silver metal [Sebadorgon] dragon head was sharply extended!

At the same instant, the four enormous dragon heads opened their massive metal mouths.

"Roar!"

With a roar that echoed throughout the arena, an extremely turbulent current immediately gathered in the wide-open mouth of the [Electronic Dragon].

But in that instant, Malik, standing behind Rishid, the target of Youfeng's attack, quickly revealed a distorted, exaggerated facial expression and growled:

"Hmph... He actually got defeated by this kid? What a disgrace... But it's not that simple..."

The next second, Malik directly faced the crowd and raised the golden Millennium Staff in his hand, pointing it at Yufeng:

"Now, under my command, change your target, Yuuki—your [Chimera Fortress Dragon]'s target is now Yugi Muto!"

Soon, under Malik's sharp voice, the "Eye of Horus" at the top of his Millennium Staff flashed with an eerie light, and an invisible force shot towards Youfeng.

"Be careful, Youfeng—the opponent seems to possess the ability to intimidate and control mental energy..."

After witnessing this scene, Jonouchi Katsuya, who had been intimidated by Malik's use of the Millennium Staff during his appearance, quickly raised his voice and shouted a serious warning to Yuuka.

"It's too late! No one can escape the power of the Millennium Staff! Now taste the pain of being defeated by your own comrades!"

Soon, under Malik's evil and even somewhat twisted expression of pain, Rishid, as the actual opponent, also showed a momentary unnaturalness, but at this moment he did not express any objection to his master and friend Malik.

"Damn it... This is far too despicable!"

Witnessing this unfold, both "blonde-haired boy" Katsuya Jonouchi and Kyoko Masaki clenched their fists in displeasure.

As the target of Malik's constant attacks, Yugi Muto frowned slightly and looked at Malik with a very serious expression.

But at that very moment, just as everyone was tense and preparing to deal with Malik's sudden attack, Yufeng, who was wearing a black glove called "Demon Hand" on his left hand, slightly raised this glove, which was entirely black with yellow patterns and had the "Eye of Horus" pattern on its palm. It immediately emitted a black light.
