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

"Really? The [Winged Dragon of the Sun]... an updated form of the [God Card]?!"

"I never thought there was such a way to use it. That's really exciting."

...

Soon, President Seto Kaiba, with great interest, looked at the giant "Golden Dragon Egg" in the field where Yuuki was playing.

But the next second, just as everyone was figuring out how to successfully resolve this crisis of "the descent of the gods," at this very moment after successfully hatching the dragon egg.

Still in control of his turn, Malik immediately grabbed his last card and pointed directly at the card he had set face-down in the back row during his "T-shaped deployment" in the first turn:

"Now, I'll directly open a [Continuous Spell] card—[God's Dwelling City - Valhalla]!"

"If I have no monsters on my field: Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can activate this effect. Special Summon 1 Fairy-Type monster from your hand."

"Therefore, I Special Summon this Level 4 Fairy-Type monster card from my hand—[Apostle of Ra]—to the field in face-up Attack Position!"

In an instant, the sky arena above the dueling stage on Devil's Island lit up with a light resembling a classical European-style temple.

Malik immediately summoned the angelic monster, clad in a golden cloak resembling the Winged Dragon of the Sun, with a dog-like head resembling Anubis from ancient Egyptian mythology, before Yuufu.

Apostle of the Sun God

[Race: Angels]

[Attribute: light]

[Star rating: 4]

[Attack power: 1100]

[Defense: 600]

"This is..."

In an instant, Yuuka, who had been somewhat prepared for Malik to summon [Lava Demon] and [Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere] on his field, also truly felt a sense of unease during this duel.

At the same time, Yugi Yoriichi, who also knew the effect of this card, frowned instantly:

"...I remember this card's effect...it could instantly satisfy the material requirements for [God Cards] consecutively, and it could only summon the [Three Egyptian God Cards]..."

"If the [Spherical Object] has already been summoned as a prelude to the [Winged Dragon of Ra's] appearance..."

"That [Apostle of the Sun God]... seems to..."

At that very moment, upon hearing the game's description of the card's effect, Seto Kaiba, dressed in a white trench coat, seemed to sense something and frowned slightly.

"Wait...YOKI...you said...Zixiao?!"

At the very moment of Seto Kaiba's slight hesitation, almost simultaneously, Yugi Yami also seemed to realize something, his expression shifting, his crimson eyes fixed intently on Malik:

"He actually... was able to do that?!"

...

With both of them staring in shock, Malik, wielding the Millennium Staff, immediately flipped over the last card that had been face-down in his back row:

"Youfeng... This [Apostle of the Sun God] is the fourth monster card I've played, Youfeng, I'm giving it to you again—"

"At this moment, I will open this [Normal Spell] card from the back row—[Death Magic Box]!"

In an instant, the moment the emerald green card, imbued with a powerful magical aura, was opened, six magic boxes, arranged neatly like magic props, appeared in the unparalleled sky.

Upon seeing this scene, You Feng sighed slightly, his face darkening once again.

At this moment, the dark-skinned Malik finally activated the card's effect:

"According to this card, 'Death Magic Box': You can target 1 monster each on your field and your opponent's field. Destroy that opponent's monster. After that, control of that monster you controlled is transferred to your opponent."

“Youfeng, although all of your Cyber ​​Dragons have been eaten by my Dragon Eggs, there is still one Swift Swipe that I put into your field in the first turn.”

"Therefore, I will directly destroy your monster as the starting point for sending you this [Apostle of the Sun God]!"

...

Soon, with the activation of this magic card, two monster cards from Yuufu and Malik's fields were sucked into the center of the two by the giant magic box.

After the red box marked with a question mark kept changing like a magic trick, the Swift Flying Squirrel was eventually destroyed and sent back to Malik's grave.

Then, this [Apostle of the Sun God] instantly entered Youfeng's field.

At this moment, seeing Malik's only monster card enter Yufeng's field again, the "yellow-haired boy" Jonouchi in the audience finally shook his head in disbelief:

"This is outrageous...absolutely outrageous..."

"There are only two cards on the field right now, and both of them were summoned by Malik..."

"Hey, just how obsessed are you with throwing cards onto the opponent's field, you piece of trash!"

...

Soon, amidst the sounds of resentment and condemnation within the city, Malik, who was engaged in this dark duel in the arena, immediately erupted into a maniacal laugh:

"Hahaha~"

"Wind, the moment this card is on the field, you will no longer be able to perform a [Special Summon]..."

"Although I've used up all my card resources, as long as I wait until the next turn... that [Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere] will immediately transform into that invincible [Winged Dragon of Ra] in my next turn!"

"You will be stripped of your last hope of victory, Youfeng..."

"If you want to summon a high-attack cyber dragon to slay a god, there's absolutely no way I'll let you do it like that idiot did..."

Soon, Malik glanced disdainfully at Seto Kaiba, the host of this duel city and holder of the God Card, who was watching from the sidelines.

The latter was also instantly enraged:

"What did you say... Malik..."

The chestnut-haired man in the white trench coat seemed to have his inviolable sore spot touched, and he glared fiercely at the "sunshine boy" Malik in the dueling arena.

...

Malik, wielding the Millennium Staff, immediately revealed a mysterious smile and said teasingly:

"What? Kaiba, you're not convinced? Then how about we raise the stakes in this [Dark Duel]?!"

"I will utterly defeat and annihilate this duelist named Youfeng..."

"Using this as a wager, the loser will have to give their [God Card] to the opponent."

As Malik's voice faded, Seto Kaiba fell into a brief silence, but the next second, Malik shook his head with a playful smile:

"Hmph... Seto Kaiba, it seems you don't dare..."

The next second, Seto Kaiba also instantly interrupted the other person's intention to continue speaking:

"No, you're wrong. I'll take the bet... I'll accept this [Winged Dragon of Ra] without hesitation..."

While responding in a slightly hoarse voice, Seto Kaiba immediately revealed an absolutely confident smile.

"Humph~"

...

Seto Kaiba and Malik's last-minute increase in bets immediately drew surprised glances from everyone.

"elder brother!"

"Kaiba-kun..."

Amidst the indignant and bewildered murmurs of the crowd, Kaiba Keihei immediately and cautiously began to persuade his older brother:

"...Even if it's the trustworthy Yuuko... wouldn't it be a bit reckless to just focus on protecting your [God Card] under these circumstances?!"

Amidst Kaiba Keihei's tense persuasion, a resolute glint quickly flashed in the eyes of the determined man in the white trench coat:

"Hmm... Trojan Horse... Although the reason is different from that of the mortal... I also have a lot of reasons to trust Yufeng regarding the outcome of this duel."

...

"cut..."

Soon after, amidst Seto Kaiba's unwavering voice, Malik also let out a cold snort of considerable displeasure.

The next second, because there were no more action points available, the current round ended abruptly.

"Well then, enjoy your last round, and then suffer a miserable defeat, Yuuki..."

Soon, amidst Malik's smug and confident voice, Yufeng also let out a soft sigh.

Seeing Yufeng's sighs, the blond-haired boy, Jonouchi, frowned instantly.

"Eh...it seems...Yufeng is also out of options? This situation of having his cards continuously consumed and Special Summoning blocked...it's really troublesome..."

"..."

But the next second, before Jonouchi could finish speaking, Yuuka, who had just sighed, suddenly burst into laughter:

"Ha ha ha ha..."

"Malik, do you really think you have another turn to summon the Winged Dragon of Ra?"

"My turn, draw (Doro)!"

In an instant, a special [Continuous Spell] card entered his hand, and Yu Feng immediately nodded and played it:

"Don't blink—I'm about to summon the last monster you can see!"

"First, I will immediately activate this [Continuous Spell] card - [Mechanical Driven Night]."

As the eerie green magic card flickered and activated its effect, a town scene immediately appeared on one side of the dueling arena where Youfeng was located. Under the moonlight, it seemed to be driven by huge metal gears, with chimneys emitting thick black smoke.

"The first effect of this [Continuous Spell] card is that all face-up monsters on the field are changed to Machine-Type!"

In an instant, as the card activated its effect with a flash, the [Winged Dragon of the Sun God - Sphere] and [Apostle of the Sun God] in the Windbound Field were transformed into the [Machine] race.

Then, Youfeng revealed another card that had been hidden face-down in his back row and remained unopened:

"Then, I activated a Quick-Play Spell card from the back row of the classic deck [Star Relics], which features Machine-Type monsters as its main force: Battle Around Star Relics."

"Based on this card's cost, banish the [Apostle of the Sun] from my field."
