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

"Hmm... In that case, Yuuka, what about you? Do you want to fight me, who possesses the complete [Three Egyptian Gods]?"

With a confident look from Yugi Muto, Yuuki immediately nodded:

"Hmm... As a qualified duelist, the strength of the enemy only makes me more excited! I accept this battle against the Three Egyptian Gods, YO↗KI↘!"

Soon, upon hearing Yuuki's confident voice, Yugi Muto nodded solemnly:

"Then it's settled, Yufeng!"

...

Just as the group seemed to have enthusiastically agreed on the future battle, they made a pact.

Mai Kujaku, whose expression had completely changed the moment Seto Kaiba handed Yugi Muto the "God's Power," stood beside them, hands on her hips, and finally shook her head in a gesture of resignation.

"so--"

"Yufeng, Yugi... have you two completely forgotten about me?!"

"I haven't even started the game yet!"

As the peacock dancer spoke with great anger, everyone's expressions instantly became somewhat awkward.

"Heh... While there is indeed a gap in strength between us, I am not to be underestimated, you know?!"

The hot woman immediately rolled her eyes at Yugi Muto and Yuuka.

...

"So—we need to defeat Mai first, which won't be easy, considering he's a professional player..."

Soon, after nodding slightly, it seemed that control of his body had returned to his soul. The starfish-headed boy, Yugi Muto, blinked his bright, purplish-red eyes and said in a serious tone.

"That's true..."

Sensing that something was amiss, Masaki Kyoko nodded instantly and echoed her sentiments.

The next second, as Mai's expression relaxed slightly, both Kyoko Masaki and Yugi Muto cast "hinting" glances at Yuuka.

Peacock Dance also glanced at You Feng instantly, seemingly trying to give him a way out.

But just seconds after the agreement was reached, You Feng blinked and patted Kong Que Wu on the shoulder:

"It's okay. Just being able to stand on the stage of the final four is already a success for Mai. After all, although Yugi Kaiba and I aren't exactly the same type of card player..."

"...Mai should be compared to Jonouchi, right?"

"..."

Hearing Yufeng's earnest "comforting" voice, Masaki Kyoko, who hadn't expected the usually emotionally intelligent Yufeng to say such a thing, shook her head helplessly for a moment.

"Ahem, Youfeng... you really don't know how to cherish a woman..."

As Anzu's吐槽 (tu cao, a form of sarcastic commentary) voice rang out, Youfeng's brows furrowed instantly:

"What? A woman?!"

"I'm destined to be king, women... they're just getting in the way!"

...

Amidst Youfeng's excited voice, which seemed to indicate he wasn't joking, a hint of surprise flashed through the crowd. However, given that they were currently in the midst of a duel, no one could really criticize Youfeng's pursuit of victory.

However, even the club president, Seto Kaiba, showed a slight change in expression after hearing Yuuki's declaration:

"This aura... Youfeng does indeed possess potential similar to mine..."

"I'm even more excited to see—how will you defeat a game that simultaneously possesses the [Three Egyptian God Cards]...?"

...

Soon, the moment Yuuki and Malik's match ended, the second match of the semifinals began: Yugi Muto versus Mai Kujaku.

Although Yugi Muto didn't include the "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "Winged Dragon of Ra" supported by Kaiba in his deck, he didn't even include the high-level version...

Under Yugi Muto's classic backcourt offensive, Mai Kongjaku quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and lost the match.

At that very moment, You Feng, who had returned early to his customized room at Haima Group under the pretext of needing to think about tactics, immediately received a notification from the system about a relationship reward:

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully used the Cyber ​​Dragon deck of the Machine race to send Malik the Machine to ascension. A special mystery reward has been unlocked for you:]

In an instant, accompanied by the system notification sound, a powerful card unexpectedly appeared in Youfeng's hand.

Looking at the mysterious card that had appeared in his hand, Youfeng raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

"It looks like the next match will be the final showdown in Duel City..."

"I feel even more confident about the match against Yugi Muto..."

"If it's this card..."

56. Games and Wind, Mechanical Ascension vs. Magical Salvation!

Afterwards, looking at the new mysterious card he had just acquired, Youfeng thoughtfully incorporated it into his deck.

"Hmm... Although we're facing Yugi Muto, who's unleashing the full power of the three Egyptian God cards, having this card might give them a pleasant surprise."

Soon after, quite satisfied with the newly acquired reward cards, they quickly arrived at the Devil's Island, at the facility beneath the Kaiba Corporation's Duel Tower, a structure symbolizing renewal and change.

Everyone was filled with anticipation for this final duel.

finally--

After a day of rest, Seto Kaiba, the president of the event organizers, immediately arranged for the final match of the Normal Duel City to be held during this refreshing afternoon.

Yuuki vs. Yugi Muto.

"So... Yuuki, Yugi, are you two ready? Although we're friends usually, this is a formal competition, you know~"

Accompanied by the expectant voice of Masaki Kyoko, whose short hair and large, watery eyes blinked.

Yugi Muto (the other person in the picture) immediately looked at the handsome young man Yuuka in front of him and smiled slightly:

"Hmm... Yufeng, I won't hold back... In the finals, as a true duelist, I will definitely defeat you."

You Feng looked at the boy with the "starfish head" hairstyle in front of him and nodded with a smile:

"Yes, the game! Don't worry, even if a god were before me, I would defeat him until he could no longer stand in my way."

...

At this moment, everyone watched the two's reaction as expected, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Yellow-haired boy" Katsuya Jonouchi immediately raised his fist with great interest:

"Hmm~ That's more like it! Seeing how intense the atmosphere was during your duel, I'm getting excited too, and I can't wait to have a proper, exhilarating duel!"

But immediately afterward, amidst Jonouchi's exclamation, his younger sister Shizuka, standing beside him, also grabbed Jonouchi's shoulder with a worried expression:

"Brother, are you really okay? Although you seem to be recovering well, you haven't been awake for very long..."

But before Jonouchi could cheerfully declare that he was fine, Mai, the fiery woman beside him, though still showing a hint of disappointment, quickly composed herself and shook her head, looking helplessly at the "blonde-haired boy" before her.

"Xingzi, you don't need to worry about him at all. This guy is incredibly lively. You could give him a couple more punches and he probably wouldn't be in any trouble~"

As she spoke, Kongque Wu immediately stretched out her fist and punched Jonouchi twice in the chest.

"Cough cough cough... It hurts... Mai, you don't have to take your anger out on me just because you lost the match, right? Wasn't there supposed to be a third-place match?"

Amidst the "yellow-haired boy's" protesting expression, Yu Feng quickly nodded:

"Hmm... I've heard about that too, but since Malik is absent, the person who will duel with Mai will probably be chosen from Kaiba and Jonouchi, right?"

Upon receiving this news, Jonouchi immediately clenched his fist in excitement:

"Haha, although being called third place sounds awful, when I think about how the champion and runner-up are Youfeng and Youxi... there's nothing shameful about me being third..."

"Next, all I need to do is defeat Seto Kaiba—I've wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time."

But just as Jonouchi seemed to be looking at Seto Kaiba in the distance, brandishing his fist with a hint of resentment, the company president, with his hands in his pockets, shook his head:

"Hmph, you're just a mortal; you're not even qualified to fight me..."

...

Soon, amidst the enthusiastic chatter of the crowd, and considering that it was around the same time, everyone, led by President Seto Kaiba, once again ascended to the aerial dueling arena at the top of the Duel Tower.

And a familiar figure immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"Isis?"

Amidst the slightly surprised expressions of the crowd, the girl dressed in Egyptian style, exuding an exotic charm, smiled at everyone.

"Hmm... As a duelist myself, I'm also incredibly curious about the final outcome of this duel city~"

But soon, amidst the surprised gazes of everyone, a slight blush appeared on Isis's dark cheeks as she gracefully walked towards Youfeng:

“Yu...Feng...um...I've heard about the Three Phantom Gods...While I have complete faith in your dueling skills, Yu...but—”

Soon, Iris's tone also turned somewhat serious:

"I still want to remind you that, as a Pharaoh, he can draw any card he wants in card duels!"

Upon hearing the other party's very serious voice, Youfeng nodded slightly.

"Hmm, I do have some experience with this kind of thing—imagining game cards without any explanation..."

After making a slight comment, Youfeng glanced at the slightly flushed Egyptian girl in front of him with a hint of surprise:

"Hmm...Is that so...did you come all this way just to tell me something like this?"

...

Soon after, as Yugi Muto and Yuuki entered the duel position at the top of the Sky Duel Arena, they immediately put on their Duel Disks and handed out their decks for shuffling.

Upon seeing Yugi Muto's rather thick stack of cards, Yufeng immediately frowned slightly:

"Good heavens, did you push the number of cards to the limit within the rules? Are you sure this won't clog your hand? That's outrageous..."

In response to Yuuki Muto's complaints, he simply smiled and shook his head.
