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

In the dimly lit room, the overhead light flickered on and off.

Yego's family members were bound to the ground by a special rope that emitted light, their faces covered in tears of worry and fear.

That special light rope is future technology, an ultimate craftsmanship possessed by the Taiyi Three Emperors that far surpasses the current era!

As soon as Luciano had a thought, those beams of light would cut through tofu with cotton rope and swiftly kill Yego's family. Even You Qing, with his extremely fast reaction speed, couldn't stop them.

"roar-------------"

A clear, resonant dragon roar echoed from Yego's luxurious yet ravaged home. Dragon wings, radiating a clear, translucent glow, unfurled, and You Qing summoned his trump card—the Illusionary Wing Synchronous Dragon!

All Machine Emperors have the same effect: once per turn, they can equip one Synchro Monster on their opponent's field as an Equip Card to themselves.

Although Machine Emperor God is a Level 1 monster, and Clearwing Synchro Dragon cannot counter its effect, if Machine Emperor God targets Clearwing with its effect, Clearwing can activate another ability to counterattack!

In the absence of Burst Mode, the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon is the best countermeasure!
"Enter battle phase!!" You Qing shouted loudly, "Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!! Attack Machine Emperor - Divine Sky - Infinite!!"

"Roar!!!!!!!!!"

A clear, ethereal dragon roar resounded, and the magnificent, dazzling Illusionary Winged Synchronous Dragon spread its wings, unleashing a blinding dragon breath at the enemy!
The galaxy-like stream of stars locked onto the head of Machine Emperor Shenkong, the Machine Emperor monster's most vulnerable spot. Destroying it would destroy the entire Machine Emperor monster!
"Hehehe~" Luciano chuckled mischievously, "The effect of Machine Emperor - Sky Defense Division is that, once per turn, it can negate the attack of one of the opponent's monsters~"

"But this effect will definitely be countered by the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon~"

"Therefore, I choose to activate this card!!"

"Trap Card - Absorption Shield!!"

"When the opponent's monster declares an attack, I negate that attack and restore LP equal to that monster's ATK!!"

“Beep beep beep————————”

[Luciano, LP: 4000→6500]

The attack from the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon was blocked by a strange shield, and all its power was transformed into healing starlight!

Luciano opened his arms and laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying himself.

You Qing didn't rush; he set a trap card face down and ended his turn.

Luciano's lips curled into a sly smile, the ever-cunning man letting out a mocking laugh: "Hehehe~"

"You Qing, I know what you're thinking~"

"The Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon has a strong ability to counter Monster Effects~"

"However, I was prepared for this all along~"

"My turn! Draw a card!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Demotion Penalty!!"

Equip this card to the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon and lower its Level by two!

"Next up is the same spell card you used last turn—Level Tuner!!"

"Downgrade the level of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon by one more star!!"

You Qing's heart skipped a beat.

He already knew what Luciano was going to do!
"Hehehe!" Luciano laughed smugly, "The Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon can only negate and destroy monster effects of level 5 or higher, and monster effects activated against level 5 or higher monsters~"

"But now, your Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon has become a four-star, while my Machine Emperor - Divine Sky is only a one-star!!"

"Therefore, you are completely unable to activate the counter-ability of the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon!!"

"The effect of Engine Emperor - Divine Sky!!"

Equip this card with the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon as an Equip Card!!!

"Hahahahahaha!!!!" Amidst Luciano's shrill, ear-piercing laughter, the Phantom Wing Synchro Dragon dissipated into starlight and was absorbed into the core device on its chest by Machine Emperor God Sky!

The power of the Synchro Monsters was continuously broken down and became part of the power of the Machine Emperor Monsters.

Suddenly, the attack power of Machine Emperor Shenkong began to rise rapidly!

“Beep beep beep——————————”

【Machine Emperor - Divine Sky, Attack Power: 2200→4700】

"Hehehe!" Luciano laughed, "You Qing, you don't have any monsters on your field anymore~"

"Enter the battle phase!!"

"Machine Emperor - Divine Sky!! Direct Attack!!"

"Its attack power is over 4000, which is enough to be fatal!!!"

"Boom!"

The Machine Emperor - Divine Sky's mech body emitted a dazzling blue-white light, its core on its chest began to grow brighter and brighter, and an energy ball gathered from its attack section, ready to unleash a terrifying laser attack!

But at that very moment, You Qing's cover card was flipped open.

The Machine Emperor, Divine Sky, suddenly collapsed, exploding into a scene of utter devastation!

Luciano exclaimed in surprise: "What?! What happened?!"

You Qing revealed the face-down card he had just activated and shouted, "Trap Card - Great Buddha!!"

"Destroy all monsters on the field that are equipped with Equip Cards!!"

"Although this deck wasn't specifically designed to counter Mech King, it does include cards that counter Mech King!!"

"The Swift Machine deck will inevitably summon Synchro Monsters, and it's also difficult to prevent Synchro Monsters from being stolen by Machine Emperor!!"

"Therefore, I prepared this Great Buddha, specifically to crush the Machine Emperor Monster that stole the Synchro Monster!!!"

Luciano was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha!"

"Well done, You Qing~"

"That's what makes this game interesting!"

"However, that guy Yego once threatened the lives of your friends!!"

"Is it really worth it for you to go to so much trouble to save his family? Hehehe!"

"I'll set one card face down, and my turn is over!"

You Qing looked at Luciano's battlefield; he currently only had one face-down card on the field, and no monsters!
This is the perfect time to launch a fierce attack!

“Swish————————————”

As soon as the cards were drawn from the deck, Youqing launched a decisive attack:
"It's my turn! Draw a card!!"

"Activate the Spell Card - Speedy Robot Scratch Card!!"

"Send one Swift Golem monster from your hand to the Graveyard, and add one Swift Golem monster from your Deck to your hand!!"

"I choose to send Swift Robot Grand Duke to the graveyard and add Swift Robot Beyblade Assembled from my deck to my hand!!"

"Activate the effect of Speedy Robot Beyblade Assembled!!"

"If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand!!"

"When this card is Normal or Special Summoned, add one Swift Robot Monster monster other than 1 Swift Robot Beyblade Assembled from your Deck to your hand!!" (End of Chapter)
