Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Jack Atlas gripped the handlebars tightly, the whistling wind rushing past his ears, just like the mockery and ridicule from those around him!

In his vision, Andrei's solid battlefield was like a black fog pushing him into an abyss. He couldn't see what was hidden in that fog, and if he rashly touched it, he would be seriously injured immediately!
The LP counter on the track was flashing a blinding red light—Jack Atlas, LP: 800.

On his field, there was only a lone card covered.

“Then, I'll end this round.” Andrei’s voice carried a cold elegance as he smiled confidently. “Your turn, Jack Atlas!”

“Beep beep————————————”

[Jack Atlas, SPC: 4→5]

[Andrei, SPC: 6→7]

"What a joke..." Jack Atlas's anger flared. "Are we going to lose the very first duel?!"

"This is my first match against Yusei and the others!!"

"Trying to take me down here? That's a joke!!"

"It's my turn!! Draw a card!!"

"Activate the High-Speed ​​Spell Card - SP Synchro Return!!"

"It can only be activated when SPC is greater than 5!!"

Special Summon a Synchro Monster banished from Duel from the field!

"The monster Special Summoned by this effect is banished from the Duel during the End Phase of the turn!!"

"Come back!! Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon!!!"

[True Red Dragon]

【Eight Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2000]

"Next, activate the Trap Card - Burst Mode!!" Jack Atlas roared, "I release Crimson Dragon to Special Summon its Released Form - Crimson Dragon Burst Mode in Attack Position!!"

In an instant, a dark red beam of light shot into the sky, illuminating the battlefield as if the end of the world had arrived!
From within the pillar of light came deafening roars, like furious cries from the depths of hell. With these roars, a gigantic demonic dragon slowly emerged!
Its body was much larger than that of an ordinary Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon, its entire body covered in scales that burned with raging flames, each scale radiating an aura of destruction. Its wingspan was tens of meters long, and the flames at the tips of its wings were like sharp blades, slicing through the air with a piercing whistle!

Its eyes flashed with a blood-red light, filled with boundless rage and killing intent; a single glance was enough to make one feel as if their soul were being devoured. The Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon, in its explosive form, slowly flapped its wings, hovering above the battlefield. Its appearance caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply, the ground to crack, and magma to seep from the fissures!

[Attack/Defense: 3500/2500]

The moment the Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon - Bursting Body appeared, its powerful oppressive aura immediately made Andrei frown.

Jack Atlas launched a fierce attack on Andre, and the attack of Crimson Dragon Burst triggered Andre's trap card in the back row. An explosion rang out, and both of their ace cards were shattered!

"However, when Crimson Dragon Burst is destroyed, Crimson Dragon can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard!!" Jack Atlas roared. "Your tactic is nothing more than banishing my cards!!"

"But thanks to the burst mode just now, I finally managed to send the Crimson Dragon back to the graveyard!!"

"Now, the departure of Crimson Dragon Burst Mode will be exchanged for the rebirth of Crimson Dragon!!"

"Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon!!" "Direct attack!!!"

Andrei's eyes trembled.

He never expected that the Crimson Lotus Demon Dragon - Explosive Body would possess such an ability!

Under the combined attack of the Crimson Dragon in two different forms, Andre's 2900 LP was instantly depleted, forcing Team Unicorn to switch out their next duelist.

This scene left You Qing, who was far away in the first division, somewhat taken aback.

In the original timeline, specifically the second timeline, Jack Atlas should have lost to Andre.

However, in this timeline, due to the introduction of Burst Mode, Jack Atlas's offensive frequency exceeded Andre's expectations, leading to the Unicorns' starting lineup being defeated first.

Team Unicorn's strategy was to have Andre defeat Jack Atlas and Crowe Hogan in succession, and then have the three members of Team Unicorn deliver the most desperate suppression to Yusei Fudo from multiple dimensions such as LP and deck resources.

But now, their tactics have gone awry. Andrei was defeated by Jack Atlas as soon as he appeared, so the rest of their plans are completely impossible to implement.

You Qing patiently watched the entire duel.

The rest of the match was completely one-sided.

The Unicorn Team's second player used a "Deck Destruction" deck, but Jack Atlas, an aggressive duelist, was not afraid of this tactic at all. Before his opponent could wear down many of his cards, the powerful Crimson Dragon eliminated another opponent.

By the time the third member of the Unicorn team enters the game, the outcome is already decided. Without the groundwork laid by the previous tactics, even if he temporarily changes his deck, he won't be able to make much of a difference.

Ultimately, the battle between Team 5Ds and Team Unicorns ended with Jack Atlas's amazing 1v3 victory.

As the white D-Wheel, carrying the Crimson Dragon, proudly drove across the track, Jack Atlas reveled in the long-awaited cheers and applause.

night.

You Qing and Yan Chenghai left the hospital after visiting Shirley Leblanc.

Just then, the match list for the second round of the group stage was announced, and the two opened the communication panel of D round to check the messages.

The two scanned the team names one by one as they pondered their next move.

They just consulted the doctor, and given Shirley LeBron's condition, the best option is to give up one round of matches and rest properly so she can continue playing in later matches.

As You Qing was pondering whether he should find someone to temporarily replace Shirley LeBron, the name of the FFC team caught his eye, next to which was their opponent in the next round—the Disaster team.

"It's... the Disaster Team?!"

You Qing's expression immediately turned serious.

He clearly remembered that the Disaster Team was composed entirely of underground duelists, and their only tactic was to use monster cards with strange magical powers to force their opponents to have accidents during high-speed duels.

Their participation in this competition was less about winning and more about taking revenge on the top professional esports teams.

"Tsk..."

"We were short-handed when we ran into this group of guys..."

You Qing stared at the scrolling subtitles on the screen, his face stiff and serious. This pressure was completely different from the pressure he felt when facing the electronic team.

"Disaster Team...Disaster Team!"

"We need to come up with a solution quickly." (End of Chapter)
