"The effect of Double Vortex destroys both 'Extreme Divine Emperor Loki' on your field and my 'Machine Emperor Divine Wisdom ∞'!"
As Yugen's words fell, the trap was already activated. The surface erupted with a blinding golden light. Two golden lightning bolts shot out like the spears of judgment, one striking the energy core of Machine Emperor Divine Wisdom, and the other directly targeting Loki's heart.
The armor of the Machine Emperor melted into crimson molten iron upon contact with the lightning, and the internal circuit boards exploded in succession, with sparks spraying out from the joints. Finally, accompanied by an ear-splitting blast, the entire mech exploded into countless burning metal fragments. Loki attempted to release a barrier for defense, but the lightning suddenly split into countless tiny chains that entangled him. His emerald pupils contracted sharply, and his divine body convulsed violently under the electric currents, ultimately bursting open like a punctured balloon, scattering into a myriad of floating green light points.
"Sacrificing the Machine Emperor just to defend against Loki's attack?" Brever said.
But the opponent should know that trading one for one by blowing up Loki is definitely a loss. Because gods are immortal, Loki will revive at the end of the turn. Only the opponent's Machine Emperor is truly finished.
Doing this is essentially just sacrificing the Machine Emperor to block one attack from Loki, which is quite profitable for Brever...
Just at this moment, Brever's pupils contracted.
Because he saw it.
Through the gradually dispersing smoke from the destruction of Machine Emperor Divine Wisdom, he saw the mecha standing behind that smoke.
Under the vast skyline, the mecha, emitting a chilling blue glow all around, stood majestically. Its core torso resembled the head of a falcon poised to strike, and from the black void of its chest seemed to shoot out an exceptionally sharp gaze. The metallic frame extending backward formed a pair of wide and elegant mechanical wings as if ready to spread and soar through the sky. Directly beneath the torso stood a heavy cannon with an imposing presence, enveloped in a faint blue glow as energy gathered at the nozzle.
Brever stuttered: "This... this is..."
"As you see," Yugen softly smiled, "'Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞,' just like Divine Wisdom, this card also cannot be normally summoned.
It can only be special summoned when a monster on your field is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the graveyard."
[Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞, Attack Power 2200]
Brever's face was pale, looking extremely unpleasant.
Machine Emperor... was there more than one unit?
Outside the field, Dragan slammed the table in anger: "What a joke, Divine Wisdom wasn't his ace card!?"
The usually calm captain Harald's face also turned somber at the moment.
Machine Emperors, what terrifying things they are. Such monstrous cards don't just exist in one form, and since there's Divine Wisdom and Divine Sky, who knows if this Yugen also has other models hidden.
A truly frightening monster, and a terrifying opponent.
"I set one card face down, ending my turn. And during the end phase, my Extreme God revives from the graveyard."
Brever spoke ominously.
"Because just now, Divine Wisdom was destroyed, the 'Extreme Divine Emperor Thor' equipped to Divine Wisdom also returned to my graveyard.
Therefore, during the end phase, Thor and Loki revive. Return, two Extreme Gods!"
Lightning and thunder roared across the sky, breaking the firmament open. The sea parted, and Thor rose slowly from the center of the split seawater. The sky shattered, and Loki crawled back through the cracked seams.
[Extreme Divine Emperor Loki, Attack Power 3300]
[Extreme Divine Emperor Thor, Attack Power 3500]
"First is Thor's effect, Thor revives with his effect from the graveyard, inflicting 800 damage to the opponent!"
Brever waved his big hand, and Thor's divine hammer crashed down. The transparent lightning struck Yugen, seemingly containing the anger and humiliation of this Extreme God having just been bound and disgraced.
[Yugen, LP 5400→ LP 4600]
"Then the effect of Extreme Divine Emperor Loki, upon revival from the graveyard, a Trap Card is added to the hand." Brever stated, "I return the Trap Card 'Needle Insect's Nest' to my hand from the graveyard."
Brever showcased the retrieved Trap Card in his hand.
"Turn end."
Yugen said: "My turn, draw card."
"Activating the third Magic Card 'Double Gate,' banishing the same-named card from the graveyard out of the game, drawing two cards from the card deck."
Yugen drew two cards, then immediately revealed one of them.
"Magic Card 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll,' banishing three Magic Cards from the graveyard out of the game, drawing two cards from the card deck.
I banish 'Aurora Draw,' 'Double Gate,' and 'Strongman's Suffering' from the graveyard, drawing two cards."
Yugen added two more cards to his hand.
After drawing the cards, he smiled lightly and looked up.
"Then you probably have already guessed, Machine Emperor Divine Sky also has abilities similar to Divine Wisdom. The Machine Emperor was created to suppress Synchro Monsters, and even gods are no exception.
Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞, activating effect. Once per turn, it absorbs one Synchro Monster on the opponent's field as an Equipment Card.
Let me receive it once again, 'Extreme Divine Emperor Thor'!"
"Dream on!" Brever shouted, "Continuous Trap 'Polestar Treasure - Svalin' effect activates again, once per turn, when there's an Extreme God on my field, all opponent's card effects are negated!"
The divine power was once again released through the trap, attempting as before against Divine Wisdom to nullify Divine Sky.
"This move should also be reaching its limit." Yugen chuckled, flicking his fingertips, "Speed Attack Magic 'Tornado,' destroying a Magic or Trap Card on the opponent's field."
Brever's pupils contracted.
Not good!
Polestar Treasure - Svalin is a Continuous Trap, and if destroyed, its effect won't be processed. Moreover, it's also his strongest defense line against the Machine Emperor; losing this Trap would mean...
But the tornado blew in, the trap shattered, ultimately failing to block Divine Sky's ability.
The core of Divine Sky's chest shot out piercing blue light, countless chains formed of high-density energy surged like venomous snakes. Upon contact with Thor, they pierced into the divine body. The muscles of the Nordic Thunder God began to decompose into data, and the armor twisted and deformed like butter melting at high temperatures, exposing the thunderous energy inside. Thor's divine hammer raised high emitted a wail, with lightning bursting forth from the web-like cracks on the hammer's surface. Thor's body shattered like a glass sculpture, disintegrating into countless streams of charged particles, completely devoured by the voracious mechanical core.
The mechanical wings of Divine Sky spread abruptly to the limit, Thor's phantom flickering on its armored surface, especially the right mechanical arm fully enveloped by lightning, forming an energy hammer contour akin to Mjolnir. As it raised its newly born thunderous arm, the battlefield's sky instantly filled with clouds, as if countless lightning bolts in the clouds were responding to the birth of a new thunder master.
[Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞, Attack Power 2200→Attack Power 5700]
Extreme Divine Emperor Thor, absorbed again!
