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

Soon after, at this moment, Youfeng, who was attacking first, also drew five cards from the top of each player's main deck as their initial hand...

After reviewing my deck resources, I immediately drew a card:

"So, as part of the internal battle between me and Ryo Marufuji in the form of [Electronic Dragon], this time I will fight in the form of [Surface Electron]!"

"My turn!"

Soon after stating his "stance," Youfeng immediately played a magic card depicting a grid-like scene that seemed to belong to another dimension:

"If you could become a ghost, you'd be able to see different horizons..."

"Next, I will activate this [Normal Spell] card directly from my hand—[Cyber ​​Horizon]!"

In an instant, accompanied by Youfeng's deep voice, a grid-like extradimensional scene appeared beneath his feet, and a faintly visible monster of inner electron flow rose from the horizon deep within.

...

As a result of this action, everyone was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Youfeng's actions.

"Good grief, he said he was going to use [Surface Electron Flow], and then immediately played a [Reverse Electron Flow] core magic card..."

"Is this the grandmaster of [Cyber ​​Dragon], Mr. Yufeng?!"

"We admire you [Cyber ​​Dragon] players..."

69. Dragon Destruction Sword Electric Dragon: Don't even think about rolling over my tires!

Soon, with Yu Feng's seemingly carefree and casual action, the instant the magic card lit up, Yu Feng immediately took out a monster card from his main deck from his Duel Disk, and threw it into the Graveyard along with a monster card from his hand as cost:

"The effect of this [Cyber ​​Horizon]: You can send 1 Dragon-Type or 1 Machine-Type [Cyber] monster from your hand and Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect. You can also add 1 Dragon-Type or Machine-Type [Cyber] monster from your Deck to your hand and send 1 Machine-Type [Cyber] Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck to the Graveyard."

"Therefore, I will send one of my [Cyber ​​Dragon - Next Generation] cards from my hand and one [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera] card from my deck to the graveyard to search for one [Cyber ​​Dragon Core]!"

Then, as the card's precise graveyard-filling effect was being executed, both cards were added to the deck. Yu Feng immediately drew a classic low-level monster from his deck—Cyber ​​Dragon Core.

"I can't believe we can use this method to get started with the [Electronic Dragon Core]? That's completely beyond my expectations..."

"Use [Inner Electron Flow] cards to help your Outer Electron Flow unfold?"

"This line of thinking is definitely worth learning from."

Witnessing that Yufeng actually used this method to summon an [Electronic Dragon Core], although, due to the influence of Yufeng's previous performance in the Duel City Tournament, Principal Samejima - Ryo Marufuji's [Electronic School] did not continue to seal the power of the inner electron, they were still quite surprised and slightly amazed to see that Yufeng was able to fuse the power of the [Inner Electron Flow] and the [Outer Electron Flow] so harmoniously.

At that instant, Yufeng immediately used the effect of [Cyber ​​Horizon] to retrieve his Extra Deck from his silver Duel Disk and threw a Level 10 Special [Fusion] Monster card that had appeared before everyone into his Graveyard:

"Based on the effect of [Cyber ​​Horizon], I will graveyard a Fusion Monster [Cyber ​​Infinite Dragon], and then—normally summon this [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] in face-up Attack Position."

In that instant, accompanied by a flash of light, the small mechanical monster crackling with crimson electricity reappeared before Youfeng:

【Electronic Dragon Core】

[Star rating: 2]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 400]

[Defense: 1500]

The moment this card was summoned, it immediately flashed with light and activated its effect:

"As part of the effect of this [Cyber ​​Dragon Core], I can search for one [Cyber] Spell/Trap Card—so, I can directly search for and add one [Cyber ​​Dark World] to my hand!"

Soon, as Youfeng's [Cyber ​​Dragon Core] activated, after a quick search of his main deck, Youfeng swiftly and efficiently added a core spell card from [Reverse Cyber ​​Flow] to his hand.

...

"???"

"If the [Electronic Horizon] was used to retrieve [Electronic Dragon Cores] to facilitate the development of the [Electronic School], I wouldn't have anything to say. But tell me, what is this thing doing?!"

"From any perspective, Mr. Youfeng is developing the [Inner Electron Flow], isn't he?"

But then, amidst a slight murmur of discussion from the crowd, Yuki Judai in the audience seemed to instantly sense something was amiss, and shook his head slightly:

"But... in that case, to create the big brother of the [Reverse Cyber ​​Flow] deck, shouldn't Yuuki just dump that [Cyber ​​End Dragon] into the graveyard? [Cyber ​​Infinite Dragon]... is yet another completely new [Cyber ​​Dragon] monster card that I've never seen before..."

As Yuki Judai, known for his "jellyfish head" hairstyle, analyzed the situation, Marufuji Ryo on the field and Samejima Principal, who was watching from the sidelines, both nodded in agreement.

"Indeed... in that case, without the [Electronic Terminator Dragon], there's absolutely no way to create that legendary ultimate all-resistance beast from the [Inner Electron Flow]..."

"Youfeng, what kind of operation is this...?"

...

At that very moment, even as the inheritor of the "Cyber ​​School" was somewhat bewildered, Yu Feng smiled slightly and played another "Machine Copy" from his hand. To everyone's slight surprise, he used the fact that "Cyber ​​Dragon Core" was considered a "Cyber ​​Dragon" on the field, but its attack power was less than 500 points, to pull out two "Cyber ​​Dragons" from the deck.

"Next, Mr. Yufeng will probably stack Nova to reach Infinity, and then summon [Cyber ​​Dragon] to achieve an attack power capable of instantly killing the opponent..."

"However, if it's the first strike... I'll probably use the three colors of [Infinite] as the key to interrupting the opponent's combo, right?"

"Speaking of which, this card actually has very strong tactical significance..."

"This card truly makes the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck more versatile, moving beyond just focusing on high attack power..."

Soon, with the calm analysis of Jaden Yuki, who had already suffered at the hands of [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinite], everyone nodded in agreement.

Asuka Tenjōin, sitting above Judai Yuki's seat, glanced at her junior, who was wearing a red uniform jacket and living in the lowest-ranking dormitory in the entire academy, with considerable surprise, and sighed slightly:

"As expected of a freshman recognized by Senior Yufeng... He only fought against Mr. Yufeng once and saw this card, yet he can understand it to this extent. It's truly remarkable!"

...

At that very moment, as the onlookers analyzed the changing situation from different angles, Youfeng immediately commanded the two Cyber ​​Dragons on the field to stack up and made Cyber ​​Dragon Nova first.

Then the card's effect was successfully activated:

"Now, based on the effect of this Cyber ​​Dragon Nova, I will remove an Xyz Material and Special Summon a Cyber ​​Dragon from my Graveyard... However, this time, I will not Special Summon Cyber ​​Dragon, but instead Special Summon the Cyber ​​Dragon Next Star from my Graveyard!"

In an instant, the Cyber ​​Dragon, which had been stacked at the bottom of the Cyber ​​Dragon Nova deck as an XYZ Material, was removed along with the wind, and another monster card was pulled out of the graveyard.

Appearing as a brand new model of the Electronic Dragon alongside the [Electronic Dragon-Infinite] and [Electronic Dragon Core]:

【Electronic Dragon - Next Generation Star】

[Star rating: 1]

[Attribute: light]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 200]

[Defense: 200]

"Then, based on the special effect of this card: If this card is Normal/Special Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Machine-Type monster from your Graveyard with 2100 ATK or DEF. After this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon non-Machine-Type monsters until the end of this turn."

Soon, accompanied by this flashing light, the new model of the small electronic dragon with a pair of horns on its head activated its effects.

The initial confusion on everyone's faces instantly gave way to a look of sudden realization:

"Is that so? First, pull [Next Generation Star], then use its effect to pull [Cyber ​​Dragon] back from the graveyard. This way, the optimized combo can gain an extra [Next Generation Star] on the field..."

"It seems that even for a legendary duelist like Mr. Youfeng, the technique is constantly being optimized and iterated!"

"..."

Soon, everyone's attention turned to the Cyber ​​Dragon in the Wind Graveyard, which had just been activated as an effect and sent to the graveyard by Cyber ​​Dragon - Nova.

...

But at that very moment, Youfeng, who had opened his graveyard, did not pull out the [Cyber ​​Dragon] as everyone expected. Instead, he pulled out the other card below [Cyber ​​Dragon], [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera], which had been pushed into the graveyard at the beginning of the turn by the effect of [Cyber ​​Horizon] and even activated its effect to push a [Cyber ​​Dark] card into the graveyard at the moment of its entry into the graveyard. This card was shrouded in a crimson aura and was played directly onto the field.

"Next, I will not revive the [Cyber ​​Dragon], but the [Cyber ​​Dark Chimera]!"

In an instant, accompanied by a crimson aura, on the fifth square of the main monster zone in the game, appeared a strange, dark-style cyber dragon whose back resembled a pair of steel-blade-like "wings," embodying several different lower-level monsters and possessing the power of [Cyber ​​Darkness].

【Electronic Dark Chimera】

[Star rating: 4]

[Attribute: Dark]

[Race: Mechanical]

[Attack power: 800]

[Defense: 2100]

"Um???!!!"

"Since the defense is 2100 points, it can also be pulled out of the graveyard, right?"

"But Mr. Youfeng, why did you make that move?"

Soon, amidst an unexpected exclamation from the crowd, even Principal Samejima, the head of the [Electronic School] dojo with a very strong understanding of the [Electronic School], blinked his eyes in utter confusion:

"I can understand Cyber ​​Dragon enhancing its attack, but this [Cyber ​​Dark] card, if we're not building a [Reverse Cyber] deck... this card... wait?!"

"Mr. Youfeng, he..."

Soon, amidst Principal Samejima's surprised voice, Jun Banjou, who was watching from the sidelines, also instantly and keenly noticed Yuuki's actions and immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"That's right, he'll probably be releasing the [Inner Electron Flow] around this time!"

...

In that instant, Marufuji Ryo, Yuufu's opponent, also immediately frowned and his expression darkened.

"But... if that's the case, then... the resources for hand cards will be extremely scarce, right?!"

"To act as the big brother on both sides in one round is a bit too greedy, isn't it?"

Amidst Marufuji Ryo's doubtful voice... Yuuka immediately smiled and shook his head:

"This card has great strategic significance: Next, I'll stack a [CNo.101 Shooting Cyber ​​Dragon (Cyber ​​Dragon Infinite)] on top of [Cyber ​​Dragon - Nova]!"

"Come forth, in your ultimate evolved form, Super Light, Tier 6! [Cyber ​​Dragon - Infinity]!"

Soon, accompanied by the clanging sound of wind, a card was immediately drawn from the Extra Deck and placed face-down on the Rank 5 [Cyber ​​Dragon - Nova] on the field.

In an instant, a dazzling arc of light illuminated the [Cyber ​​Dragon - Nova] in the Wind Rises arena, and the powerful monster composed of three colors underwent another, even more powerful and familiar evolution before everyone's eyes:
