"My turn, draw."

You Xuan waved his hand.
"I flip the monster that's face-down on my field. The monster I have covered is this one—Dragon Rider, reverse summon!"
[Dragon Rider, ATK 700]

"The effect of Dragon Rider upon flipping," You Xuan explained, "allows me to gain control of one face-up Dragon-type monster on your field until the end of the turn. Therefore, I take control of your 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'!"
AI Kaiba: "!?"
What the heck? Why does he even have a card like this?

This thing makes no sense!
Following this, the red-cloaked knight leaped gracefully and landed skillfully atop the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. In the blink of an eye, the mighty dragon was now under You Xuan’s command, shifting over to his side of the field.
The audience erupted in murmurs of disbelief.

"Wow, he actually took control of the legendary Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Hahaha, guys, I'm so pumped right now!"
"As expected from Boss You Xuan. He effortlessly did what we could only dream of..."
AI Kaiba: "You bastard..."

Of course, the spectators were thoroughly entertained. They seemed to forget they were locked in the venue by the /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ system, watching with rapt attention. Even random passersby began cheering for You Xuan...
It seems no matter which world you're in, people love drama, and this duel was nothing short of entertaining.
After continuously dueling and studying the environment since arriving in this world, You Xuan quickly realized that duelists here had an inexplicable obsession with Dragon-type monsters. This wasn’t surprising; after all, Konami K-Club had always been obsessed with dragons, and Seto Kaiba, the leader of duelists in this world, shared the same fixation. Dragons were both stylish and powerful, making them naturally popular.

With this in mind, You Xuan stuffed his side deck with anti-dragon tools. Since there was no limit to the number of cards in a side deck, he figured it wouldn’t hurt to add some obscure, low-value cards just in case.
As the saying goes, better safe than sorry—and today, his preparation paid off.
Take the next card, for example.
"Although I gained control of the Blue-Eyes, because of the 'Dragon Seal Jar' still on the field, no Dragon-type monsters can attack. That includes my own."

You Xuan drew another card from his hand.
"I’ll use 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' as a tribute to perform an advanced summon!"
Whether it was his imagination or not, at that moment, he thought he heard AI Kaiba grinding his teeth.

"You son of a—"
If there was anything more infuriating to President Kaiba than having his precious Blue-Eyes stolen, it was having it sacrificed afterward.
And if there was anything worse than sacrificing the Blue-Eyes, it was using its sacrifice to summon something blatantly designed to counter him...

"Advanced Summon, Level 6, Dragon Slayer!"
[Dragon Slayer, ATK 2000]
"When 'Dragon Slayer' is successfully summoned, it destroys all face-up Dragon-type monsters." You Xuan pointed to Kaiba's field. "Destroy 'Crystal Dragon'!"

A blue-green demon glared menacingly at the Crystal Dragon, roaring as if declaring, I’m coming for you, Dragon!
With a thunderous crash, the Crystal Dragon shattered into icy fragments, reduced to glittering dust.
In truth, You Xuan didn’t consider this card particularly impressive. It required a tribute summon just to destroy Dragon-types, and its attack was only 2000. Compared to cards like "Thunder Emperor Zaborg," which boasted 2400 attack and could destroy any monster regardless of type or attribute, this card paled in comparison.

Of course, perhaps the Emperor series hadn’t appeared yet due to rarity. Overall, he rated this card as decent against early-game Dragon decks but not particularly strong.
However, if there was one advantage it had, it was the sheer provocation written all over its name—"Dragon Slayer"—and its effect screaming, “I’m targeting you specifically.”
In other words, combined with other anti-Dragon cards, it had a higher chance of breaking the opponent’s mental state before depleting their Life Points.

The AI fell silent, seemingly stunned. It might have been thinking, Maybe I’m not human, but you’re truly despicable.
Seriously, are these even things a normal human would carry?
"Direct attack with 'Dragon Slayer.'" You Xuan ordered.

But the AI still had a countermeasure: "Activate trap card, 'Counter Gate'! When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, negate the attack and draw one card from my deck!"
A transparent defensive barrier materialized before the AI. The full force of Dragon Slayer’s attack slammed into the barrier, dissipating harmlessly as golden light infused back into the AI’s deck.
"The attack is negated, and I draw a card!"

"Then I’ll directly attack with 'Dragon Rider.'" You Xuan commanded.
Without its mount, the Dragon Rider’s combat power plummeted, but it still charged forward, sword raised, delivering a swift slash across the AI’s holographic projection, causing it to momentarily blur and distort.

[AI Kaiba, LP 4000 → LP 3300]

"I’ll set three more cards face-down. Turn end."
Three ominous face-down cards emerged with a flashy golden glow, drawing sharp gasps from the crowd.
This guy was already pulling such oppressive moves by the second turn, and now he’d set three more back-row traps...

Even before activating the cards, the audience could feel a chilling aura emanating from them, as though the temperature in the arena had dropped several degrees.
"Who is this young man? How can he suppress Kaiba’s deck like this...?"
One passerby in the arena muttered.

"Wait, I think I’ve seen him somewhere... Isn’t he the champion of this year’s Yuehua Cup tournament?"
"What? The rookie who crushed Legendary Duelist Dinosaur Ryuzaki in the finals?"
"Doesn’t that mean we’re witnessing a true god-tier player? He’s insanely strong..."

"...”
On AI Kaiba’s turn: "Draw!"
The AI looked visibly enraged, too furious to spout any of its usual lines like "Full speed ahead" or "Third-rate duelist."

"I activate the spell card 'Dragon Awakening Melody' from my hand!" AI Kaiba declared. "By discarding one card, I can search my deck for up to two Dragon-type monsters with 3000+ attack and 2500- defense, adding them to my hand!"
The card sounded tailor-made for the Blue-Eyes’ stats.
"I’ll add these two cards to my hand..."

AI Kaiba retrieved two cards from his deck, gesturing dramatically once again.
"I’ll add another 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' and a 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon' to my hand!"
You Xuan frowned slightly.

So he already has the Alternative White Dragon.
"Effect of 'Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon'! By revealing a 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon' from my hand, I can special summon this card."
The AI placed the revealed card onto his virtual duel disk. At that moment, an overwhelming surge of azure light erupted from the device.

"With that light illuminating the void and shaking heaven and earth, appear now—
—Level 8, Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!!!"
Blinding blue radiance poured forth as if emerging from the heavens themselves. A resounding roar echoed through the arena, ancient and authoritative, piercing through time and space.

The majestic form of the Alternative White Dragon broke free from the light, its massive wings unfurling like vast azure curtains blotting out the sky. Its cry reverberated through millennia.
Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, summoned!
