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

The God Card...

Kurayami Black looked up at the god on the battlefield, his heart trembling.

He had already foreseen Hikari White's fate, and he didn't want to end up like him, but the consequences of disobeying the Third Emperor were extremely severe—worse than death itself!

Hikari White had already been carried off the stage; he was barely breathing.

The third duelist from Team Chaos said coldly, "It's your turn, Kurayami."

The man's tone was very cold, seemingly devoid of any emotion; he was simply urging them on.

Seeing that Yuqing was about to complete a lap and obtain the SPC, Kurayami had no choice but to bite the bullet, put on his helmet, and rush out of the maintenance station.

"Alright! Team Chaos' second duelist has entered the arena!!" the commentator exclaimed. "He's a duelist who primarily uses DARK monsters from the Chaos Monsters category!!"

"Compared to the previous Hikari White, his offensiveness and destructiveness are even more pronounced!!"

"But he is about to face the God Card piloted by You Qing—the Titan of Obelisk!!"

"I wonder if Kurayami Black can withstand the power of the God Cards?!"

"We see that Kurayami Black has already set off!!"

"The second round of battle has begun!!!"

“Duel!!!!!!!”

[Game Engine, LP: 2500]

【Kulayami Black, LP: 4000】

"My turn!" With her back against the wall, Kurayami, enduring the pressure from Obelisk the Colossus, shouted, "Draw a card!!"

“Beep beep————————————”

[Game Engine, SPC: 4→5]

[Kurayama Black, SPC: 4→5]

"The Colossus, is it... Even if we can't defeat you, we can at least drag you down with us!" Kurayami Black roared. "We have three duelists. As long as we can wear you down, victory will still be ours!"

"Activate High-Speed ​​Spell Card—SP Angel Scepter!!"

Draw two cards from your deck, then discard one!

"Next, discard one Level 5 or higher DARK monster from your hand to Special Summon Dark Warrior Grepha!!"

"Activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon: Messenger of the End from your hand!!"

"Special Summon this card by banishing 1 LIGHT and 1 DARK monster from your Graveyard!!!"

The sky was suddenly stained by a murky current of ink and crimson, the once flowing clouds solidified into twisted, corpse-like shapes, and tiny black ash particles floated in the air, each one sizzling and burning!

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

When the first dragon roar, shaking the very stars, tore through the dimensional barrier, the earth cracked like glass struck by a giant hammer, and what surged from the cracks was not magma, but a chaotic, purplish-black aura with a metallic sheen!
A spiral-shaped rift was forcibly torn open in space a hundred meters above the ground, its edges flowing with golden particles of light that seemed to have burned away time itself! A giant claw covered in obsidian scales reached out first, the shadow energy overflowing from the gaps in the scales distorting the light in its path. The moment the claw's tip struck the void, the entire battlefield suddenly fell into deathly silence!

With a second, ear-shattering roar, the colossal form of the Chaos Emperor Dragon's messenger of the end was fully revealed: its body, exceeding a hundred meters in length, was covered with alternating, shimmering dark gold and ghostly blue patterns. These patterns were actually solidified spatial rifts, through which fragmented images of stars occasionally flashed. Its outstretched wings were like a curtain woven from the polar night, each vein of its bony structure wreathed in flickering chaotic fire; wherever its wingtips swept, even space itself rippled like water!

【Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End】

【Eight Stars】

[Dark Attribute/Dragon]

[Attack/Defense: 3000/2500]

You Qing's eyes flickered.

Chaos Emperor Dragon?!
It's this monster?!
It seems this guy has decided to fight me to the death, and then place the hope of victory on the last duelist.

I guess he was afraid of the impact of the God Cards, so he wanted to make them work quickly and then leave the field.
"Activate the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon: Messenger of the End!!" Kurayami Black roared, "Pay 1000 LP to send all cards from both players' hands and fields to the Graveyard. After that, take damage equal to 300 times the number of cards sent to the opponent's Graveyard by this effect!!!"

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

The messenger of the Chaos Emperor Dragon's End raised his head, and the Reverse Horn Crown suddenly erupted with a blinding dark purple pulse. The instant that pulse touched the clouds, the holographic projections of all the cards in the world simultaneously lit up with a blood-red light—the monsters on the field began to disintegrate uncontrollably, the runes on spell cards scattered like crumpled pages, and even the face-down trap cards developed spiderweb-like cracks on their backs. The cards in both players' hands were becoming transparent at a visible speed, and black particles representing annihilation seeped from the edges of the cards about to be forcibly sent to the graveyard!
Just then, You Qing suddenly flipped up his face-down card, immediately blocking the activation: "Counter Trap Card activation - Divine Announcement!! Pay 1500 LP to negate and destroy the effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End!!"

“Beep beep beep————————”

[YouQing, LP: 2500→1000]

“Boom————————————————————”

A pillar of holy light descended from the heavens! As the pillar passed through the body of the Chaos Emperor Dragon, its obsidian scales shimmered with a melting light. The final roar, stuck in its throat, turned into a painful whimper. The funnel of dark energy rapidly evaporated in the holy light. When the last wisp of black smoke dissipated, all the cards on the battlefield had returned to their original positions, except for the card of Divine Proclamation, which still emitted a lingering glow, like a sacred seal branded into the void.

Kurayami Black's eyes widened, but he dared not give up so easily. He immediately added another monster to defend: "Defense Position Summon - Chaos Necromancer!"

"Put a card on the ground, and the turn ends!!"

Chaos Necromancer

【one star】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

Currently, Kurayami Black has two defensive monsters on the field, while Yu Qing only has one attack-positioned Obelisk the Tormentor.

Even though Obelisk the Tormentor is a God Card, it can only attack once per Battle Phase, and its effect of destroying all of the opponent's monsters requires two monsters as tributes.

You Qing stared coldly at his opponent.

Team Chaos must pay the price for what they did!

“Swish——————————————”

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

“Beep beep————————————”

[Game Engine, SPC: 5→6]

[Kurayama Black, SPC: 5→6]

"Attack Position Summon—Swiftman Bamboo Stilts!!" Yu Qing shouted. "When this card is successfully Summoned, you can Special Summon 1 Swiftman monster from your hand!!"

Special Summon from your hand - Speedster Red-Eyed Dice!!

"Summon the Level 1 Swift Robot - Red-Eyed Dice and the Level 4 Swift Robot - Bamboo Horse Stilts!!"

"A sword that surpasses the speed of light!!"

"Break through the night with the phantom of the long wind!!" "Synchronization Summon!!"

"Level 5!!"

"Move faster!!"

"High-Speed ​​Rider - Fencing Rider!!"

The two monsters on the field transformed into dazzling starlight, intertwining and rotating to form a massive energy vortex!
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling light shot into the sky from the vortex, and the high-speed, swift-moving robot sword rider slowly emerged from it!
Its entire body is composed of high-tech mechanical parts, with a main color scheme of blue and white. A huge thruster is mounted on its back, which is currently spewing out pale blue plasma flames, propelling it to hover steadily in the air!
The swordsman gripped a longsword gleaming with cold light, its blade crackling with wind-attribute energy patterns, seemingly ready to tear his enemy apart at any moment!
【High-Speed ​​Robot - Fencing Rider】

【Five stars】

[Wind Attribute/Mechanical Type]

[Attack/Defense: 2000/1000]

"Enter battle phase!!" You Qing shouted. "The High-Speed ​​Dash Robot - Sword Rider can attack twice during one battle phase!!"

"let's go!!"

"High-Speed ​​Rider - Fencing Rider!!"

"Smash those two monsters to pieces!!!"

The high-speed, swiftly moving robot, the sword rider's engine, emitted a high-frequency, buzzing vibration. Its silver-blue mechanical body left afterimages on the track, and the thrusters on its back spewed out five sharp-angled orange-red flames!

The energy swords it held in both hands suddenly split into two parallel light blades, their surfaces flowing with strobe patterns like fast-forwarded film—a sign that a "double attack" was about to be launched, the air itself being sliced ​​apart by the high-speed movement of the machine with a sharp whistling sound!
“Shuashua————————————————”

Kurayami Black's face darkened: "Tsk... Do you want to kill me with an attack from the God Card?"

"I would never accept such a thing!!"

"Trap Card activated - Eternal Chaos!!"

"Target one face-up monster your opponent controls, and send one LIGHT and one DARK monster from your Deck whose combined ATK is less than or equal to that monster's ATK to the Graveyard!!"

"After this effect is activated, you can only activate a monster's effect from the Graveyard once until the end of this turn!!!"

"Afterwards, remove the Necromancer from the graveyard, and inform the Swiftman Sword Rider that one of his attacks was nullified!!"

"BOOM!!!!!!!!"

The high-speed swift robot, Sword Rider, managed to deflect an attack, but Obelisk the Titan followed closely behind, smashing the remaining monster to pieces with a single punch!
"Then!! Obelisk the Colossus!!" You Qing shouted, "Destroy the remaining monster!!"

"High-Speed ​​Magic Card - SP Fuel Overload activated!!"

"You can only activate this effect when your SPC is greater than 4: banish two monsters from your Graveyard and draw one card from your Deck!"

"Put a card on it!!"

"The round is over!!!"

“Beep beep————————————”

[Game Engine, SPC: 6→7]

[Kurayama Black, SPC: 6→7]

"Heh heh heh..." Kurayami Black sneered, "You think you can stop me like this?!"

"My turn to draw cards!!"

"Defense Position Summon - Chaos Phantom!!"

"Activate its effect: banish Chaos Emperor Dragon - Messenger of the End from the Graveyard. This card gains that monster's original ATK and effects until the End Phase of this turn!!"

"Pay 1000 LP to send all cards on both players' fields and hands to the Graveyard, and inflict damage to your opponent equal to 300 damage for each card sent to the Graveyard by this effect!!"

【Chaotic Illusion】

【Four stars】

[Dark Attribute/Demon Clan]

[Attack/Defense: 0/0]

“Beep beep beep——————————”

[Kurayama Black, LP: 3000→2000]

The effect of Chaos Emperor Dragon: Messenger of the End in this era has not been weakened, and there is no restriction that other effects cannot be activated in the turn when this effect is not activated.

Therefore, this card can be comboed with many other cards!
While the effects of monsters on God Cards can only last for one turn, resistance is completely ineffective against abilities that send them directly to the Graveyard.

You Qing's gaze turned cold, and he was forced to reveal his face-down card to defend, blocking all the effect damage. However, all the cards in his hand and on the field were sent to the graveyard without exception.

"Counter Trap Card activated—Blackboard Eraser Trap!!" You Qing shouted, "Neglects the effect damage you receive, and your opponent discards one card from their hand!!"

"But all your cards are still gone!!" Kurayami Black's voice was almost frantic. "Including your God Card on the field—Obelisk the Tormentor!!"

“However,” You Qing said, “when High Speed ​​Mech - Sword Rider is sent to the Graveyard, an effect can be activated, which adds one of the banished High Speed ​​Mech cards to your hand!!”

"What?!" Kurayami Black's heart skipped a beat.

He only has 2000 LP left. You can defeat him by simply summoning two low-level monsters. With the combat power of the Speed ​​Golem deck, this is a piece of cake.

However, Kurayami Black's mood soon improved.

He'd rather be killed by a regular monster than by the impact of the God Cards; he didn't want to end up like Hikari White.

However, You Qing's plan was set from the beginning: he was determined to use the God Card to defeat the entire Chaos Team!

“Beep beep————————————”

[Game Engine, SPC: 7→8]

[Kurayama Black, SPC: 7→8]

"My turn! Draw!!" You Qing shouted, "Activate the effect of High Speed ​​World 2, remove 7 SPC, and draw one card from your deck!!"

"Activate the effect of Speedy Robot Beyblade Assembled from your hand!!"

"If you have no monsters on your field, Special Summon this card from your hand!!"

"Then add one Swift Robot monster other than Swift Robot Beyblade Assembled from your deck to your hand!!"

"When I control a WIND monster, I can Special Summon Swift Robot Bamboo Dragonfly Cyberman from my hand!!"

"If I Special Summon a monster to my field, I can Special Summon—Swiftman 56 Plane!!" (End of Chapter)
