Thus, different Types are divided into different tiers.
The Commander of the Reptilians and the Commander of the Dragons. Just from hearing those titles, one would already know that they're not at the same level of combat power.
In ancient times, the
However, with the development of civilization comes the popularization of mechanical technology and modern concepts.
The
As long as civilization continues to advance and evolution doesn't stop...
The Commander of the Machines will only become stronger and stronger.
Until one day...
They became strong enough to threaten the status of the Divine.
Eventually, the Gods became afraid.
Time was detonated, and civilization was restarted.
However, no matter how many disasters civilization faced...
No matter how many times the world has been restarted, nor how many Samsaras it will be...

"Chimeratech Fortress Dragon..." Melonica whispered as she gazed at the monster ahead.
Her eyes trembled, and she silently bit her lower lip.
"Is this your evolution...?"
Her six monsters on the field suddenly disappeared. Unable to recover her composure, her body trembled slightly, her eyes reflecting helplessness, despair, and resignation. Her hands hung limply at her sides, letting go of the tightly clenched fists.
The field was clear, and her hand was empty.
"The fusion materials for Chimeratech Fortress Dragon are
"It can be Special Summoned from the Extra Deck by sending the above materials from either side of the field to the graveyard, not requiring the use of a Fusion Spell."
"Chimeratech Fortress Dragon's original ATK becomes 1000 x the number of Fusion Material Monsters used for its Special Summon. Since seven monsters were used, its ATK is———— 7000."
Chimeratech Fortress Dragon Atk: 0 -> 7000.
"Hehe... Turning other people's monsters into machines and having them as your Fusion Material, that's really like your style." Melonica said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Luo Bai shot back, "Didn't you pull my
Both
A dream that held a touch of madness from both sides.
"Then what are you pitying now!?" Melonica shouted softly.
After Luo Bai summoned
In his heart, he hoped she would surrender.
Seeing that memory had made him feel a bit uncomfortable and hesitant to go through with this attack.
"Battle Phase!"
Stimulated, Luo Bai's pupils narrowed, his eyes showing determination and resolve.
"
Chimeratech Fortress Dragon raised its mechanical dragon head, producing a heavy and creaky sound. Intense electrical light gathered and vibrated in its mouth, emitting a harsh buzzing noise.
"Boom!"
Destructive energy blasted out. Melonica slightly lifted her eyes, smiled with relief, and was engulfed in the white light.
"As expected, he really is the Candidate of the Machines..."
A complicated smile was on the Vampire's lips as she gazed upon the incoming burst of light.
She held longing, but was afraid of being burned. She wants to touch him, but feels afraid to reach out her hand, for fear that her love will end up unrequited.
LP: 2600 -> 0
[DUEL ENDS]
As the automated referee's voice echoed, Melonica immediately left the duel arena without a trace of reluctance.
Shortly after, an announcement rang out to the 1.6 billion duelists.
[CONGRATULATIONS TO DUELIST
In less than three hours, while many players had only managed 20-30 matches, the first 38-game win streak announcement suddenly appeared.
Moreover, it was a famous duelist's ID.
The announcement was so explosive that the 1.6 billion duelists were momentarily at a loss for words, expressing their astonishment with simple exclamations.
"The heck?"
"D*mn!"
"Wow."
"Oh sh*t..."
...................
"Fuuu..."
Luo Bai also removed his helmet, leaning back in his chair and gazing at the ceiling in a complicated mood.
The images in his mind wouldn't go away.
The memories that weren't his own that appeared in his mind last time, when he sank into the deep sea and saw the pilot of the Phoenix who looked exactly like him. He could comfort himself by saying that was just a coincidence.
But now it has happened again...
He didn't believe in coincidences happening twice.
Last time, he piloted a Gundam; this time, it's even more outrageous. He almost turned himself into a Gundam, a half-human, half-machine monster.
He can't be quite human, but one can't exactly say he's a monster either.
If he weren't so handsome, he might not have recognized himself.
"What the heck am I?" Luo Bai muttered to himself, habitually reaching for his chest.
Whenever he was frustrated, he would try to grab his chest, feeling for something to relieve his anxiety.
But he came up empty again, and the half-empty card with the "Bai" imprint was still missing.
"Grumble~~"
His stomach growled, demanding food.
Playing KC was really exhausting, both physically and mentally.
Strangely enough though, after finishing the previous 37 matches, his Ba Points hadn't increased, but after the match with Melonica, his Ba Points rose from 2000 to 2400.
He guessed it was due to the collision of Epic Cards.
"Meh, overthinking is useless, time to eat!"
Luo Bai stood up, glanced at the time, and saw it was exactly noon———– just in time for lunch at the card shop.
He slowly opened the door.
To his surprise, Melonica was standing in front of it, her hand raised, her body rigid, as if hesitating about whether to knock.
Seeing Luo Bai suddenly open the door, she became flustered and stammered, "Um, it's m- mealtime…"
Her timid appearance was a stark contrast to her commanding presence during the latter part of the duel, like she had transformed from a Queen back into a young lady.
"Hmm, let's eat together." Luo Bai responded casually.
Having a meal together with her wasn't a big deal.
"Umm..." Melonica's face became extremely awkward, "I- I don't have any money..."
The card shop's lunch service was designed for regular people and wouldn't provide meals for vampires.
"Wow———- You've fallen to the point of not being able to afford a meal?"
Luo Bai sighed inwardly, a look of pity appearing on his face.
Given her pale, weakened appearance, it seemed she hadn't had a proper meal for some time, and she was still playing KC in this state...
"Alright, it's my treat." Luo Bai said with a sigh.
Treating a staff member to a meal was well within his means.
"I- I'll pay you back tomorrow!" Melonica said, her voice slightly faltering but her expression very serious.
She was even more sensitive about debts than he had imagined.
"It's just a meal; there's no need to worry about it." Luo Bai sighed again, feeling helpless.
He valued keeping personal and professional matters separate and maintaining clear records of debts.
However, what he didn't expect... was that treating a friend to a meal would require calculating the exact cost.
Soon, they arrived at the restaurant. Luo Bai asked the AI maid 4275 how much a blood pack would cost.
4275 smiled slightly and replied:
[A pack of pure blood costs 10,000 gold points each.]
"Ah?"
"10000 each!?" Luo Bai was stunned, unable to believe what he was just hearing.
He only paid 5,000 for three days of full board and lodging, and a single blood pack costs 10,000?
Is it too late to get rich by reselling blood?
Luo Bai turned sharply to look at the freeloader Melonica, who quickly turned her head away, too embarrassed to meet his gaze.
However, acting nonchalantly, she added:
"I want a high-purity blood pack."
[Understood, a high-purity blood pack costs 50,000 gold points each.]
"Huh?"
"????"
"50,000 for one?"
Luo Bai's brows furrowed, his voice trembling slightly.
"You said you'd treat me to a meal." Melonica said, shrinking her head and looking harmless. As she continued, her voice grew quieter.
"Good people should... should be honest with their words..."
"If you can't afford it, just say so."
The last part was laced with sarcasm.
