"Gasp!!"
Below the stage, Jaden abruptly leaned forward, his eyes wide.
"I-is that really Cyber Dragon?! Yūki actually has the exact same card as Kaiser?!"
Across the Dueling Arena, the instant Syrus Truesdale saw the silver-white dragon land, his expression darkened completely, and he clenched both fists.
That cold metallic texture, that familiar low dragon growl, even the mechanical pressure radiating from the projection-all of it was identical to what his brother Zane Truesdale summoned!
"Impossible... How could there be a second set of rare cards like these in the world...?"
Syrus forced the whisper through gritted teeth, his expression frighteningly sinister.
Yūki had no intention of giving him time to recover.
"Next, I Normal Summon-[Cyber Dragon Core]!"
With a faint mechanical hum, a silver-white metal sphere appeared beside Cyber Dragon, floating in midair.
A pure azure core crystal was embedded in the sphere's center, surrounded by several elegant, curved metal vanes, like the eye of a mechanical dragon yet to take shape.
[Cyber Dragon Core] [Level 2 / LIGHT / Machine] [ATK: 400 / DEF: 1500]
"The moment its summon succeeds, Cyber Dragon Core's effect activates!"
Yūki declared clearly, "I add one Spell or Trap Card with 'Cyber' or 'Cybernetic' in its name from my Deck to my hand!"
A card popped out of his Deck.
Yūki pulled it out with a flick of his hand and displayed it above his Duel Disk's projection.
"I add the Normal Spell Card-[Cyber Emergency] to my hand!"
"Then I activate it immediately!"
Yūki slotted the Spell Card he had just obtained into his Spell & Trap Zone.
"I add one 'Cyber Dragon' monster, or one LIGHT Machine monster that cannot be Normal Summoned, from my Deck to my hand!"
Another card popped out of his Deck.
Yūki smoothly drew it
