Machine Emperor's Divine Wisdom, Attack Power 6000!
"Impossible!" Dragan's face turned pale.
The god actually... got absorbed?
His invincible god, wielding Thunder Power, scornfully obliterating everything, the Extreme Divine Emperor Thor, was actually defeated!
This was the greatest insult to him as a Divine Master, tantamount to a disdain for his character!
How could such an absurd thing happen?
However, the fact had already occurred, and the arrival of the Machine Emperor instantly rewrote the situation between the two sides. Dragan fell into a state of furious impotence, watching helplessly.
"It was a very enjoyable duel, the power of your god, the bond between you and your god I have certainly witnessed and accepted," Yugen smiled, "but it's about time for you to bow out here. I'm eager to see the divine power of your other two companions.
But don't worry, I've inherited your god. I'll carry on this will, so feel free to leave."
Dragan: "@!#%&"
These words sounded passionate and great, but is it appropriate for you to say such things from the opponent's standpoint?
Why can someone who defeated my Thor say such shameless things like "I've inherited your will"?
"Machine Emperor Divine Wisdom ∞, direct attack!"
The mechanical eyes of the Machine Emperor's Divine Wisdom suddenly lit up with a crimson glow, and the energy core in its chest began to spin rapidly, emitting a piercing mechanical hum. Just as it swung its right arm with a white metal blade, the core suddenly burst out with blinding golden light—a Thor imprisoned in energy form erupted out, transforming into a burning thunder phantom wrapped around the blade.
Outside the field, Harald shouted simultaneously, "Get ready, Brever!"
Brever, also in a state of shock from Thor being defeated, came to his senses, quickly standing up, "Yes... yes!"
He hurriedly dashed to the starting line, preparing for the relay with his teammates.
At the moment the blade was thrust forth, the entire battlefield was swallowed by dazzling lightning. Thor's phantom roared upon the blade edge, cobalt blue thunder perfectly fused with mechanical energy, forming a destructive Light Blade intertwined with data streams. Countless arcs burst in the air, the track seemed to shatter layer by layer under the Shock Wave, even the space distorted and deformed before this power.
Boom—
[Dragan, LP3300 → LP0]
The D-Wheel began to sway uncontrollably from side to side, cooling liquid seeping from cracks in the front fairing, evaporating into wisps of white smoke on the high-temperature road surface. The dashboard indicators simultaneously flashed crazily, the main display screen popped a red warning box, only to darken in the next moment due to power shortage. The rear wheel bearings sent out the last sparks, dragging two charred snake-like tracks on the asphalt road. The entire D-Wheel staggered sideways like a drunk, moving several meters. Steam spewed, the exhaust pipe's sputtering sound akin to mocking laughter.
With exaggerated explosive effects, Dragan let out a pained moan. His D-Wheel's speed drastically dropped. The rider's D-Wheel, uniform, and helmet also showed multiple damages, looking quite battered.
But Dragan managed to stabilize, moving at a slow pace, avoiding the fate of a rollover.
His D-Wheel's speed slowed, and Yugen didn't surpass excessively; instead, he reduced his speed to come alongside, maintaining a similar speed and driving in tandem.
Yugen: "Your Extreme God, truly impressive."
Dragan: "..."
Yugen: "As a man inheriting divine power, I also felt your strength and determination to fight. Let's have a fair contest again next time when given the chance."
Dragan: "......"
Dragan seemed unwilling to respond to him, forgoing even the post-battle pleasantries, and silently drove the D-Wheel into the repair station.
The second relay Brever took over from him. But before Brever advanced on the D-Wheel, Dragan grabbed him by the arm.
"Be careful." Dragan said solemnly, "This guy is peculiar. His Machine Emperor, took my god... my god..."
Brever patted his teammate's shoulder, reassuringly, "It's okay Dragan, you've already probed the opponent's trump card for us, which is enough.
I'll reclaim your god, and I'll defeat the man who dares to seize our god."
Dragan nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."
Upon completing the relay, Brever also started the D-Wheel, charging onto the track with the roar of the engine.
Airplane Head Commentator: "Alright, now the second relay of the Twilight of the Gods Team, Brever, is entering the field! Can he carry on his teammate's will and seize victory for the team under such an adverse situation?"
Brever: "My turn, draw card!"
Yugen defeated Dragan, and the moment the opponent's Life Points fell to zero, the turn naturally came to an end. Thus, even without his end declaration, it automatically transitioned to Brever's turn.
After Brever drew a card, he first surveyed the field opposite. He looked at Yugen's field with that massive white mecha, and the god raging trapped inside the mecha, occasionally releasing flashes of thunder bursting from Divine Wisdom's chest.
Brever thought calmly. Although Dragan's Thor was a Monster Card, it was placed in the Magic Trap Area after being absorbed. By logic, this type of "used as Equipment Card" monster is generally treated as a Magic Card.
If that's the case, he has a countermeasure!
"Activate the Magic Card 'Magic Removal' from my hand!" Brever declared, "This card can destroy one Magic Card existing on the field!"
Dragan, who just stepped off, brightened his eyes: "That move is brilliant! The absorbed Thor is considered a Magic Card in the Magic Trap Area..."
Harald also smiled and nodded in approval: "Using Magic Removal can destroy Thor, and when the turn ends this way, Thor in the graveyard will automatically revive, thus reclaiming control of Thor.
Truly a master of wisdom from our Twilight of the Gods."
Brever said: "Destroy 'Extreme Divine Emperor Thor'!"
A beam of golden light shot like a spear towards Thor in Yugen's backfield, seemingly about to seize this equipped god from Divine Wisdom's hand.
Just at that moment, the red lines on Divine Wisdom's faceplate suddenly glowed, then the white mecha's arm raised. Its left arm's Energy Barrier abruptly unfolded, like a massive shield guarding the front. The golden light spear of Magic Removal struck directly on the barrier, yet couldn't budge it a bit; the golden energy smashed into fragments.
Brever's expression changed drastically: "Why?"
"Ah, sorry I forgot to mention." Yugen smiled, "Machine Emperor Divine Wisdom ∞ can absorb Synchro Monsters, and it also has another effect.
Once per turn, it can negate and destroy the activation of a Magic Card."
"It has that ability too!?"
Brever gritted his teeth, clenched his fist.
Dammit, just a bit more and I could have reclaimed the Extreme God. It can absorb Synchro Monsters and possesses an additional magic negation ability...
The Machine Emperor, truly terrifying.
His thoughts raced, a glint of resolve flickered in Brever's eyes.
If I can't reclaim it, I'll just pin my hopes for victory on my own god then.
Second Pole God, Trickster God Loki!
