The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The character representing "core".

　Its head takes up about half of its body, and the body extending from below the head is short.

　And detailed.

　The arms and legs are spring-like structures, with only the joints being solid.

　On the upper part of the body, there is a circular groove, which appears to be for inserting some kind of special component.

　It's already quite rare to see a one-star magical spirit among the starting summons.

　But for duelists who summon quickly enough, there's that confidence in a short enough time...

　The second magical spirit was summoned.

　Just over three seconds later, Kevin began summoning the second magical spirit.

　However, Dark did not take any further action.

　Immediately afterwards, Kevin's second magical spirit appeared beside the [Mechanical Component ● Core],

　However, it is a blocky-headed mechanical creature that is more than three times larger than the [Mechanical Component ● Core]!

　Almost identical in appearance to the [Mechanical Component ● Core], this large mechanical creature is named [Mechanical Component • Giant], with the character representing "giant" engraved on its forehead.

　"Assemble the mechanical components!"

　Kevin's command was amplified by the loudspeaker; it would have been better if it had been delivered in an impassioned tone, but his tone was very flat.

　So, in order to make up for this.

　Commentator Wilson excitedly exclaimed, "It's here! Elsie Kevin's signature magical sprite, the Mechanical Component! This freely assembleable Mechanical Component possesses an amazing charm. By stacking the components, it can even break through the upper limit of the ladder!"

　To the accompaniment of the background music, the [Mechanical Component Core], the size of a soccer ball, suddenly leaped onto the top of the [Mechanical Component Giant]'s head, its lower half directly inserting into the (Mechanical Component Core's) skull. Only half of its cylindrical body remained, forming its neck!

　Kevin's two mechanical components were then transformed into Samsung's [Mechanical Components ● Mega Core]

　!

　[Ultimate Skill: Perfect Assembly, Giant Core Impact]

　"I can't believe it's possible to do that!"

　Dark blinked instinctively; he was genuinely startled.

　Considering all the favors he owed in order to forge a [Fusion] spell, this senior Kewen's magic...

　It's so unfair that the guide spirit can be "fused" simply by being summoned!

　But the feeling of robots combining is really cool.

　Those spring legs, which haven't changed much, don't look like they're very mobile at all.

　So he only took precautions and wasn't in a rush.

　However, Kevin's command rang out immediately afterward, word by word: "Aim, Megacore Impact!"

　The body part of the [Mechanical Component ● Giant Core] suddenly rotated and caved inward, creating a...

　A cylindrical groove appeared, followed by a dazzling white light!

　The assembled mechanical components are clearly a cannon turret!

　"POOM!"

　The enormous roar shook the entire venue.

　A thick, long, dazzling beam of light blasted towards the red team's area from the front!

　The 100-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye.

　"Pot!"

　Shushu suddenly stood up on its four limbs, using its body to block the magic ball behind it.

　The beam of light struck its carapace belly instantly, leaving a scorch mark, and the pot's magic power...

　1.

　Wilson was about to say something in this atmosphere, but the words caught in his throat.

　Many people in the audience gasped in surprise.

　Kevin, the blue team's player on the platform, also had a serious look in his eyes.

　Although he had anticipated this outcome, witnessing it firsthand still filled him with dread about the "pot-pot worm."

　The terrorist defenses were shocked.

　"Don't get cocky, this was just a probing attack."

　Kevin gritted his teeth slightly and muttered something as if he were explaining something to someone.

　Then he drew another magic card and performed his third summon!

　"Magic Summoning, Eggshell Armor!"

　In an instant, a silver egg with a metallic sheen fell from the sky.

　Just as it was about to land, straight cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the silver egg.

　"Crack!"

　The eggshell armor was deployed instantly.

　It transformed into pieces of metal eggshells, spinning rapidly in the air.

　But it's different from what some people expected.

　The eggshell armor did not attach to the mechanical components, but instead went directly to the blue team's magic sphere.

　They've surrounded it!

　"call out--"

　A strange sound rang out.

　The fragments of the eggshell armor suddenly contracted, each piece of eggshell adhering to the life force of the blue magic orb.

　Above the barrier.

　A few seconds later, a silver egg tightly wrapped around the magic orb came into view.

　Without a doubt, it endowed the Magic Ball with a considerable degree of defense!

　"As everyone knows, the life barrier of the magic sphere is extremely fragile and has no defensive capabilities whatsoever. But E..."

　However, Elsie Kevin used a magical item card, making it no longer vulnerable. Dark Dimon must have been quite surprised at this point.

　Wilson regained his composure and continued his commentary.

　The red team player is on the platform.

　Dark was indeed somewhat surprised; he had originally thought the eggshell was like Emma's [Gold Coin Bug].

　It can be further integrated with the [Mechanical Components ● Giant Core], making it even cooler.

　But it seems that's not the case now.

　Then it's insignificant.

　While measures to protect the magic orb are necessary, they will not have a significant impact on the course of the battle.

　"Tick-tock!"

　The timeline has shifted to the second round.

　Dark quickly drew a card and unfolded it for a look.

　【Fantasy Beasts: Ditto】

　【Paradise I】

　"coming!"

　Dark's gaze fell on [Paradise 1I], and he made up his mind.

　The two mechanical components that Senior Kevin summoned in the first round were very unique, but in reality...

　This exposed the characteristics of his system.

　However, his initial five cards did not seem sufficient to fully develop his system.

　This second round of card draws could very well be a turning point in the game.

　If Dac does not have sufficient countermeasures, it may fall into a disadvantageous position.

　Fortunately, the appearance of [Paradise 1I] gave him a choice, and two choices at that.

　【Fantasy Beast: Eevee】

　【Fantasy Beasts: Ditto】

　Both of these magical beasts can be enhanced using [Bliss 1I]!

　The appearance of a four-star magical spirit is enough to deal with the situation.

　"It seems that Senior Kaiwen's magical Pokémon are mainly Steel-type, while Sylveon's Fairy-type is countered by Steel-type."

　"Let's choose Ditto!"

　A simple choice between two options.

　At the start of this second round, Dark summoned Ditto using a normal summoning spell!

　The card art for [Ditto] unfolds in the projection.
