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

"The summoning condition for this card is—"

You Yang's voice grew increasingly louder, as if it were the eye of a storm.

"Two or more Effect Monsters!"

"I've set the [Splash Screen Mage] with a Link value of 2 and the [Connector Decoder] with a Link value of 1 on the field as Link markers!"

As You Yang's explosive voice rang out, the two monsters on the field instantly disintegrated, transforming into two extremely violent streams of data, one red and one blue, which charged directly into the huge connection circuit in front of You Yang with the force of splitting the heavens and earth.

You Yang clenched his fists and shouted:

"A combined loop!"

"Link Summon!"

"Show your true power! Link 3!"

"Descend, [Transcoded Speaker]!"

Boom!

Amidst a raging storm of data capable of devouring everything, a burly figure clad in oppressive yellow-white heavy armor emerged with an unstoppable force!

In its strong and powerful hand, a jet-black metal staff weapon was flashing with deadly high-dimensional data light!

[Transcoded Speaker] [link3 [↑][→][↓]]

[Earth/Connection/Cybernetic Race] [Attack Power: 2300]

Gazing at the imposing figure clad in heavy yellow and white armor, You Yang continued:

"At this very moment, I activate the effect of the [Connection Decoder] that was just sent to the graveyard as connection material!"

"This card can only be activated if it is sent to the Graveyard as a Link Material for a Cyberse Link Monster that originally had an ATK of 2300 or higher."

"This card will be Special Summoned directly onto the field."

"Of course, if this card, which is Special Summoned by this effect, leaves the field, it will be banished."

As You Yang finished speaking, dark purple data light flashed wildly on the field, and the [Connection Decoder] wielding the strange wrench-shaped longsword reappeared on the battlefield like a ghost!

[Connect the decoder] [link1 [↓]]

[Dark/Connection/Cybernetic] [Attack Power: 300]

"Next, I activate the effect of [Transcoder] on the field!"

"You can activate this effect by targeting 1 Cyberse Link Monster with 3 or fewer Link 3 monsters in your Graveyard, excluding 'Transcoder'."

"During the turn this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters that are not Cyberse monsters."

You Yang's finger suddenly pointed to the glowing connection arrow of [Transcoding Message]:

"Special Summon the selected monster to your field in the zone that this card is linked to."

"The Link-2 monster I'm going to summon is the one that was just sent to the graveyard!"

"Rise from the abyss! [Splash Screen Mage]!"

A burst of violent, azure light flashed, and the white-robed mage wielding the crystalline staff reappeared unharmed on Youyang's field.

Looking at the massive electronic army on his field, You Yang suddenly drew a card from his Extra Deck that radiated endless brilliance!

"The final moment has arrived, appear!"

"The absolute circuit that guides the future!"

As You Yang shouted through the clouds, a massive connection circuit, dozens of times larger than before and almost blotting out the sky, suddenly appeared behind him, illuminating the entire virtual space in a ghastly white light.

"I've added all three monsters on the field—the [Link Decoder], the [Machine Cutter], and the [Transcoder] from Link3—to the Link Markers!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three extremely thick streams of data, carrying a destructive aura, plunged headlong into the depths of that enormous circuit.

Upon seeing this, Lucien, who had been arrogant, finally became serious, and a look of disbelief and horror even flashed in his eyes behind his mask.

It's one thing for Youyang to be able to summon a Level 13 Xyz Monster that defies common sense, but now he can even summon a Link 5 Monster that represents the very pinnacle?!

"Circuit Union!"

As You Yang spoke loudly, the entire blue sky, which was originally filled with high-dimensional data, was suddenly stained with the deep colors of the starry sky by an irresistible law.

Amidst the shimmering, multicolored starlight, a single, pure light, like the origin of all things, suddenly shone from the very center of the universe.

Chapter 303 Appear in Despair! Link 5! Fireproof Dragon - Dark Fluid - New Electromagnetic Leakage Wind

You Yang raised his arm high, his voice resounding throughout the virtual space!

"The mysterious power that fills the universe!"

The pure light compressed rapidly in mid-air, eventually transforming into a crystal-clear water droplet that crashed down onto the desolate ground.

"Pouring our efforts into the Miracle Star!"

As the water droplets crashed heavily to the ground, an extremely vigorous life force, seemingly capable of reviving all things, surged forth and swept across the entire battlefield.

"Let us weave an infinite life!"

At the heart of that drop of life-giving water, a raging hurricane and a blazing fire erupted one after another, and the three extreme elemental forces of water, fire, and wind perfectly merged in the data network!

You Yang's expression was utterly cold. His hand, like a sharp sword, pointed towards the eye of the storm where wind and fire intertwined, and he proclaimed with all his might:

"Link Summon!"

"Show yourself in despair, Link 5!"

"【Fireproof Dragon·Dark Fluid - New Electromagnetic Leakage Vent】!"

Roar--!

Amidst the terrifying energy storm of gales and flames, seven-colored light flickered wildly.

An extremely large electromagnetic storm was forcibly enveloped and compressed, eventually forming the outline of a terrifying dragon.

Its indestructible scales are composed entirely of a dark purple, high-dimensional encrypted matrix, exuding a cold, mechanical feel.

A blue-white electromagnetic core, spinning at high speed, is prominently embedded in its broad back.

When those sky-covering wings suddenly unfolded, they released a magnificent feather-like effect composed of countless pure data fragments!

Finally, the cyber dragon, clad in heavy black armor, flapped its wings and flew out, its wings shimmering with a completely different and dazzling light, like a seven-colored sun descending to earth, dazzling beyond compare!

The dragon raised its ferocious head high and let out a soaring roar that shattered the void.

Its electromagnetic core on its back suddenly erupted with extremely bright high-energy rays, which, like a sharp sword that could destroy everything, ruthlessly tore apart all the remaining data chains in the surrounding space!

【Fireproof Dragon·Dark Fluid - New Electromagnetic Leakage Vent】【link5 [↑][←][→][][]】

[Dark/Connection/Cybernetic] [Attack Power: 3000]

Beneath the colossal demon suspended high in the air, Lucien's blood-stained face twitched slightly with jealousy and madness.

He looked directly at You Yang across from him and spoke coldly in a hoarse voice filled with bitterness:

"I never expected you to have achieved this. The chosen one of the Red Dragon, the one who broke the limit of the Xyz, the summoner of Rank Thirteen."

"Now, it's even possible to summon Link 5 monsters through Link Summoning."

A cold, extremely unwilling smile curled at the corner of his bleeding mouth as he gritted his teeth and spat out a few words:

"Those favored by the gods, those blessed by the divine, truly live up to their name, they are truly enviable!"

However, listening to Lucien's self-righteous words, You Yang, standing amidst the raging data storm, didn't even lift his eyelids. He simply asked in a flat tone, expressionless:

"To this extent?"

You Yang's eyes instantly turned icy, and he roared in a booming voice:

"Don't be so arrogant!"

"This is the real counterattack from the electronics industry, and this is just the beginning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, You Yang slowly closed his eyes on the extremely tense battlefield and placed his right hand on the deck of the Duel Disk with utmost reverence.

In fact, in his original plan, the moment he successfully summoned [Fireproof Dragon - Dark Fluid - New Electromagnetic Leakage Wind], he would have been able to kill his opponent directly.

But at this moment, You Yang felt a strong, completely different pulse in his palm from the cold deck!

It was a resonance belonging to the soul of the electronic world, and the extreme resentment and boiling anger emanating from all the elves in the entire deck!

Swish-!

As You Yang suddenly opened his eyes, an extremely pure and dazzling blue data light flashed wildly deep within his pupils, like burning cyber flames!

You Yang waved his hand back, revealing a magic card with the same name that Lucien had used before, and loudly proclaimed:

"I activate the magic card 'Network Mining' from my hand!"

"As a price, I send [Fire Defender] from my hand to the graveyard, and then precisely add [Microcoder] from my deck to my hand!"

You Yang's wrist traced a mechanically beautiful afterimage in mid-air, and as his wrist moved, the cards in his hand changed amidst the flow of light.

"Then I activate the effect of the [Splash Screen Mage] on the field!"

You Yang's slender fingers pointed directly at the shimmering, eerie graveyard:

"Target the [Fire Defender] that was just sent to the cemetery!"

"Special Summon it!"

"Rise from the abyss! [Fire Defender]!"

Upon receiving its master's command, the white-robed mage on the field immediately brandished the staff that shimmered with blue light. Extremely dense red data flowed out from it like a waterfall, rapidly recombining in mid-air to transform into an electronic dragon with a black and white body and a sharp aura.

It let out a clear hiss and appeared steadily on Youyang's field.

[Fire Defender] [4 stars]

[Dark/Cyber ​​Race] [Attack: 1200 / Defense: 1500]

With the successful appearance of this key monster, You Yang suddenly swung his hand forward, as if to cleave the thick virtual space. In front of him, an extremely large and dazzling white connection halo reappeared!

"Next, I'll transform the [Splash Screen Mage] with a link value of 2 and the [Fire Defender] with a link value of 1 into streams of light and set them to the link markers!"

You Yang raised his head, and his high-pitched chanting, full of futuristic technology, resounded throughout the surrounding area:
