Extreme Divine Emperor Thor, absorb again!
"Aaaaaah, damn it——"
Outside the field, Dragan was even more furious than Brever, who was being tormented.
His god, his Tamashi, was absorbed again!
Thor, who was absorbed, probably shared the same sentiment as Dragan at this point, feeling utterly dejected. He was Thor, son of Odin, the strongest Thunder God in Northern Europe—when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Brever gritted his teeth but forced himself to stay calm.
Stay calm, don't panic...
Even though it can absorb Synchro Monsters like Shinji, the Machine Emperor Divine Sky can probably only absorb one per turn. Since it already absorbed Thor, it can't take Loki this turn.
But in his back row, he still had the Trap "Polestar Treasure Meijingjiuod" that Loki retrieved last turn. This card can double the attack power of an Extreme God on the field for a turn, making Loki's attack power 6600 instantly if doubled.
Even if Thor is absorbed, if the Divine Sky recklessly attacks, using this Trap for a counterattack can lead to an instant victory.
Even if the opponent doesn't attack, using this Trap to strengthen Loki for an attack on the Divine Sky next turn will have the same effect.
Brever squinted his eyes.
This was his true all-out attack, entrusted with victory.
"Come on, Machine Emperor!" Brever said, "No matter how many models you have, I'll defeat them all with the power of the gods!"
"Oh, that's the spirit a top Duelist should have." Yugen smiled, "Since you're so serious, I'll show a little of Divine Sky's power too..."
Brever's face subtly changed.
Right, besides absorbing Machine Emperors, Shinji can also negate the activation of Magic Cards. What abilities does this Divine Sky have?
"First, I haven't used my Normal Summon this turn."
Yugen slowly set a card from his hand face-down on the field.
"I summon a monster in face-down Defense Position. Then..."
Yugen raised his right arm high.
"Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞, activate effect!" Yugen announced, "Divine Sky can send any equipped monster to the graveyard to directly attack the opponent's player this turn!"
Brever's pupils shook, and even his whole body seemed to involuntarily shudder while driving the D-Wheel.
Directly... direct attack!?
This thing's ability is...
"Goodbye, strategist of the Twilight of the Gods Team."
Yugen waved with a smile, as if bidding farewell to a friend.
"Machine Emperor Divine Sky ∞, direct attack!"
The heavy cannon under Divine Sky suddenly shone with a blinding blue light, and the swirling energy vortex in its barrel emitted a high-frequency hum. With the sound of hydraulic mechanisms, the barrel slightly lowered to lock onto its target, as the entire gun body glowed with a dangerous orange-red due to overload.
A three-meter diameter plasma stream tore through the air, forming a ring-shaped shock wave with the backfire of the cannon. The stones along the trajectory instantly vaporized, and the ground was plowed into lava-like furrows.
Ignoring Loki, ignoring the back row. With no defensive options, Brever was directly hit by the cannon. Amidst the metallic screeches of distortion, the heat vents on both sides of the D-Wheel suddenly exploded, spewing scalding steam like a gasping wounded beast, enveloping half the track.
The Life Points display in the cockpit emitted a harsh alarm as the numbers quickly flickered to zero. The emergency brake system activated, and the hydraulic brake clamps bit down on the wheels, dragging four spark-throwing black streaks on the track. The front wheels trembled violently under the sudden stop, and the vehicle swayed left and right like a drunken man, coughing up more oil-contaminated steam with each jolt from the exhaust pipe.
[Brever, LP1300→ LP0]
"Vic... Victor... Victory!" The commentator with the flat-top was shocked, "Unbelievable, Officer Yugen's unstoppable momentum has taken the second round against the Twilight of the Gods Team!
Even the two great Extreme Gods were no match for Officer Yugen. Could it be that the officer is truly unstoppable!?"
Brever, whose Life Points had dropped to zero, looked grim. He controlled the decelerated D-Wheel, a complex expression on his face as he looked at Yugen.
"Machine Emperor... what is this origin? Why does it possess such terrifying power?"
Yugen thought for a moment and replied, "You can understand it as... when Synchro Monsters and this society based on Synchros develop to a certain stage, a force inevitably emerges to suppress Synchros.
Their purpose is to remind those accustomed to the convenience of Synchro and the Perpetual Motion Machine to maintain a correct and positive mindset."
Brever gave Yugen a strange look, wanting to speak but stopping.
He wanted to say no, is this thing's purpose to remind people to maintain a correct and positive mindset?
But having just dueled you, I feel so depressed and not positive at all...
But after thinking, he ultimately remained silent.
Forget it, forget it, a defeated general has nothing to say.
You won, your fist is bigger, whatever you say is right.
"I lost, but the duel is not over," Brever said coldly, "Although I lost, the gods are immortal.
My Life Points are at zero, ending the turn automatically. But during the End Phase, the gods will be resurrected again!"
He raised his arm.
"Come back!
Extreme Divine Emperor Thor!"
To enable this turn's direct attack, Divine Sky had sent the absorbed Thor to the graveyard. So at the end of the turn, Thor naturally revived automatically.
And once again, the Celestial Thunder rumbled, the sea parted, and the giant Thor reappeared under the thunderclouds. However, Thor's expression this time seemed even gloomier, with a look saying "Don't mess with me," as if infuriated.
Brever: "And with Thor's resurrection, deal 800 points of damage once more!"
[Yugen, LP4600→ LP3800]
Even Dragan, who was Thor's holder outside the field, pondered for a moment and said, "It's my first time seeing a god so angry..."
"Me too."
The captain Harald had already mounted the D-Wheel, commenting coldly.
"Fujiki Yugen has successfully stirred the wrath of the gods. Since that's the case, I won't hold back any longer."
As Brever returned for the exchange, Harald's D-Wheel started, roaring out with the engine's roar as he charged forward for the final battle.
Back at the pit stop, Brever watched the captain's receding figure and couldn't help saying, "Even Harald is taking this seriously..."
"Indicating that the opponent is indeed worthy of such attention... and perhaps it truly has angered him," Dragan said, "This person values the honor of the gods more than any of us."
Brever nodded, "Indeed, it's unexpected that even Harald is down. But as long as Harald takes action, victory is basically assured."
Normally, that's how it would go.
But having just faced the opponent in a duel, the two couldn't help but glance at each other.
After a silent pause, Dragan added, "...Maybe, hopefully... I hope so."
