Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

As You Yang's threatening warning fell, the drifting data light in the surrounding space seemed to hear its master's call and frantically converged towards his left arm.

In the blink of an eye, a high-tech duel disk gleaming with a cold metallic sheen was assembled on his forearm.

Faced with You Yang's fighting spirit, Lucien could only helplessly shrug.

"Can't you tell me?"

"Hehe, that makes sense, after all, everyone has their own secrets."

"However, I cannot let you go so easily."

The eyes beneath the mask gleamed with an eerie light.

"After all, I promised the writer that the only condition for him to give me more screen time in this grand drama was that I would use all my strength to stop you!"

"Then let me personally test the ultimate power in this virtual world!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the six enormous, polluted pillars of light in the center of the palace suddenly resonated intensely.

Immediately afterwards, six dazzling rays of light, representing the six basic attributes of earth, wind, water, fire, light, and darkness, were forcibly drawn out from the deepest part of the pillar of light by an invisible force!

Among them, the dark purple light, which exuded endlessness and profundity, seemed to have found its home and settled steadily in front of Lucien.

The remaining five dazzling rays of light dispersed like shooting stars, heading straight for other unknown areas.

"So, we still have to fight?"

Seeing that the other party was taking a fight to the death and was unwilling to give way easily, You Yang was not surprised at all. After all, duelists always fight their way out with cards.

However, just as he skillfully reached out to pull out the deck he always carried from his pocket, a sudden change occurred!

An extremely pure azure light suddenly shone on You Yang's duel disk without warning.

As the light pulsed, a thick deck of cards spontaneously materialized in his Duel Disk slot.

Lucien was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, and raised an eyebrow:

"Oh?"

"Having narrowly escaped before, do you really dare to show your face here now?"

You Yang ignored what the other person was saying.

Instead, he casually pulled out three cards from the top of the deck. After just one glance at the cards, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he immediately realized what kind of deck it was.

Although I was somewhat surprised by the automatic appearance of this deck,

But since the other party has chosen to trust me at this crucial moment and entrusted me with this task, then I shall personally use this powerful force to shatter the obstacles before me!

"Duel—begin!"

[Youyang: LP 8000]

Lucien: LP 8000

In this silent and eerie data palace, the crisp activation sounds of two life indicator lights rang out simultaneously.

"It seems that luck is completely on my side today."

Having gained the first turn, Lucien smiled and raised his hand, elegantly drawing five initial cards from the top of his deck.

"Then, I'll go first, it's my turn."

Lucien glanced around and quickly drew a card, placing it in the monster zone:

"I summon the [Spicy Fairy@Fire Spirit Star] in my hand!"

Om-!

The deep blue, high-dimensional data rapidly constructed in front of Lucien.

Accompanied by a scorching gust of air, a fiery red monster, small in size but radiating considerable energy, appeared nimbly on Lucien's field.

【Spicy Fairy @ Fire Spirit Star】【2 stars】

[Fire/Cyber ​​Race] [Attack: 800, Defense: 800]

"The show is about to begin the moment this monster appears."

Lucien waved his hand and loudly proclaimed:

"I activate the entrance effect of [Spicy Fairy @ Fire Spirit Star]".

"This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned."

"I can add one other Level 4 or lower '@FireSpirit' monster, besides 'Spicy Fairy@FireSpirit Celestial,' directly from my Deck to my hand."

As the Duel Disk emitted a crisp search sound, Lucien's gaze sharpened:

"I choose to add [Glimmer Fairy@Fire Spirit Star] to my hand from my deck!"

A dazzling red light shone brightly in the deck area of ​​the Duel Disk.

In the light, Lucien precisely drew a card from his deck and elegantly added it to his hand.

As Lucien gracefully added the newly acquired card to his hand, he abruptly extended his left arm outward, his left hand outstretched, and chanted in a dramatic tone:

"Appear! Circuit that guides darkness!"

In an instant, a dazzling light burst forth from the void, and an extremely large blue-white connection circuit composed of pure data suddenly appeared before Lucien, slowly rotating.

"The conditions for summoning this monster are—"

Lucien's voice came through the mask.

"One '@Fire Spirit Star' monster other than a Link Monster!"

"I've set the [Spicy Fairy @ Fire Spirit Star] on the field as the link marker!"

With his command, the fiery red [Spicy Demon @ Fire Spirit Star] on the field immediately transformed into a blazing stream of light, accurately injecting itself into the arrow at the bottom of the circuit.

"Use chaotic code as a medium to awaken the electronic cores slumbering in the abyss!"

Lucien raised his right arm high, as if conducting a grand symphony.

"Link Summon! Link 1!"

"Descend, [Dark Child@Fire Spirit Celestial Star]!"

Amidst the dazzling light erupting from the connecting circuit, a purple figure exuding an eerie aura slowly emerged.

Chapter 298 The Link Value Soars Infinitely! A Powerful Arena! Fire Spirit Heavenly Star "Ai" Heart Paradise Island

It has a humanoid mechanical torso covered with a layer of cold, dark purple prism armor that reflects an unsettling hue under the light.

Inlaid at its mechanical joints are dark red energy crystals that seem to breathe.

Most chillingly, the monocular sensor on its head was emitting a ghostly blue scanning beam, coldly scanning You Yang across from it like an emotionless killer.

【Dark Child @ Fire Spirit Star】【Link 1 [←]】

[Dark/Link/Cybernetic] [Attack Power: 1500]

"At this moment, the special effect of [Dark Child @ Fire Spirit Star] activates!"

Lucien snapped his fingers.

"This card can only be activated if it is successfully Link Summoned."

"I can add 1 copy of 'Fire Spirit Celestial "Ai" Heart Paradise Island' from my deck to my hand."

As Lucien spoke, he smoothly drew another card from the top of the deck.

Without any hesitation, he immediately revealed the card he had just acquired and loudly proclaimed:

"I activate the Field Spell Card in my hand—[Fire Spirit Celestial Star "Ai" Heart Paradise Island]!"

boom--!

As the Field Spell Card was activated, the massive amount of blue data in the surrounding space began to surge wildly.

This domineering data stream seemed to have a life of its own, and began to forcibly plunder and cover all the simulated scene data belonging to East China University.

In just a few seconds, the originally oppressive data palace was completely rewritten, and a colorful paradise full of fairy tales quickly formed under the feet of You Yang and Lucien.

Above this somewhat eerie amusement park, bursts of dazzling fireworks occasionally erupted, illuminating the virtual sky with vibrant colors.

Standing in the center of the park, Lucien spread his arms wide, as if he were the master of this park:

"I activate the special effect of the Field Spell Card [Fire Spirit Celestial Star "Ai" Heart Paradise Island]!"

"This effect can only be activated if there are no monsters in your Main Monster Zone."

"I can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower '@Fire Spirit Celestial' monster from my hand."

Lucien added the rules and constraints at a leisurely pace.

"Of course, as a trade-off, this turn I cannot Special Summon a monster with the same attribute as the original using the effect of 'Fire Spirit Celestial Star "Ai" Heart Paradise Island', and I cannot Special Summon monsters that are not Cyberse-Type monsters."

He flicked his fingertips, deftly placing a card from his hand onto the duel disk:

"Appear in this carnival paradise! [Shining Fairy@Fire Spirit Star]!"

Accompanied by a burst of dazzling colorful light, a lively figure wearing a comical wizard's hat and radiating a bright orange-yellow color appeared joyfully in the light!

【Shining Fairy@Fire Spirit Star】【4 stars】

[Light/Electronic Race] [Attack: 1200 / Defense: 600]

"At that very moment, the entrance effect of [Shining Fairy@Fire Spirit Star] activated!"

Lucien's chain is like a precise mechanical gear, fitting together perfectly.

"This effect can only be activated if this card is Normal or Special Summoned!"

"I can add one Spell or Trap Card with the 'Ai' tag from my Deck to my hand."

"I choose to add the spell card [Unexpected Encounter - Deflect Ai -] to my hand from my deck!"

As the command was given, a bright yellow light shone from the small body of [Shining Fairy@Fire Spirit Star].

At the same time, with a soft "ding," a brand new card was accurately delivered into Lucien's hand.

You Yang watched the performance from the other side quietly. It was obvious what the other side wanted to summon with their series of actions.

Lucien's offensive continued unabated.
