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

When You Qing, Fudo Youxing, and others started using Burst Mode, the three emperors of Taiyi began to think about how to deal with it.

Burst Mode not only allows Synchro Monsters to evade the control effects of the Machine Emperor, but also allows Monsters to enter Burst Mode, which greatly increases their combat power.

Taiyi the Third Emperor's initial idea was to block the activation of Burst Mode and prevent the new 5Ds team's ace from entering Burst Mode.

But later, they found an easier way.

That is—to reconstruct the Machine Emperor Monster in an alien form.

The characteristics of the Machine Emperor Monster are that it is comprehensive and balanced. Since it is a combined monster composed of five different parts, different parts can be upgraded according to the battle situation. When the duel comes to the end, it will definitely become the ultimate and powerful perfect monster.

The problem is that a complete evolution of all five components is too idealistic, especially when facing a formidable opponent like the new 5Ds team.

Therefore, after some research, the three emperors of Taiyi decided to discard some of the structures of the Machine Emperor and strengthen a certain part, so that they could reach the level of fighting against the Burst Monster in the shortest time.

Placido's Machine Emperor Divine Awareness abandoned the cumbersome defense section and transformed into the ultimate offensive type Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Isomer in the form of a dual attack section and a dual carrying section.

And Luciano...

He chose to abandon the carrier section and add the top part of the Machine Emperor·God Sky to achieve a bizarre mechanical jellyfish isomer.

"Boom!"

The Machine King Bomb exploded, completely shattering Jack Atlas's trump card for defense!

As Luciano adds a monster to the field, Machine Emperor God Sky begins a rapid and complex mechanical transformation!
The energy clouds in the dueling arena suddenly surged violently, and the Machine Emperor God Sky, which had been hovering in mid-air, abruptly stopped—its chest armor unfolded layer by layer like flower petals, and accompanied by a piercing hydraulic exhaust sound, the floating base carrying the core module was forcibly ripped off, turning into a stream of light and disintegrating in the energy turbulence!
The fuselage, now devoid of its carrying unit, suddenly plummeted, only to erupt with a blinding blue light a split second before contact with the ground. The streamlined silver top module atop the fuselage abruptly unfolded, its six energy conduits folding outwards like mechanical petals; simultaneously, a new, dark purple top module—Type III—swooped out from the dimensional rift, its surface covered with spiraling energy grooves, precisely engaging with the original top module!
“Buzz——————————————”

The instant the core devices of the two top modules collided, thousands of miniature robotic arms shot out from within the modules, locking each other in place like a woven metal spiderweb. The originally slender body began to expand wildly: the energy conduits on the top connected with the spiral grooves of the Type III module, giving rise to an umbrella-shaped main body with a diameter exceeding fifty meters. Hundreds of tentacles made of liquid metal and energy cables hung from its edges, each tentacle ending in a diamond-shaped beam emitter; the core chamber at the center of the main body bulged outwards, revealing twelve sets of rotating cooling fan blades. As the blades rotated, they stirred the surrounding air, forming visible energy vortexes!
As the final, crisp click of mechanical meshing echoed, the once lithe and agile Machine Emperor, Shenkong, had undergone a complete transformation—it hovered in mid-air, its umbrella-shaped body obscuring half the arena from the light, hundreds of metal tentacles swaying slowly below, like a giant jellyfish lurking in the deep sea. But this was no docile marine creature; energy rings along the edges of its umbrella flickered with pulsed red light, and the emitters at the ends of its tentacles continuously charged, emitting a high-frequency buzzing sound similar to the flapping of bee wings!
"This is the new form of my ace!!"

"Machine Emperor - Divine Sky - Must Be Jellyfish Isomer!!"

Luciano's sinister laughter mingled with the whirring of machinery as the giant mechanical jellyfish suddenly shot upwards a hundred meters, its tentacles snapping straight like spears, and a bottomless cannon blast appearing in the center of its umbrella-shaped body—its former lightness was gone, and what now hovered in the sky was the source of a steel storm powerful enough to devour the entire battlefield.

“Beep beep beep————————”

【Machine Emperor - Divine Sky, Attack Power: 2200→2900】

"Accept this defeat!! Jack Atlas!!"

Luciano laughed as he announced, riding his Duel Skateboard like lightning past Jack Atlas, a massive shadow looming over him! Machine Emperor God Sky Jellyfish Isomer slammed down hundreds of metal tentacles in succession, each strike accompanied by the sound of shattering crystals. Amidst the deafening roar, Jack Atlas's LP counter emitted a piercing alarm!

“Boom boom boom boom————————————”

Jack Atlas's LP was reduced to 500 under this powerful offensive. Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the jellyfish in the sky suddenly emitted countless bubble-like ion balls!
Those ion spheres locked onto Jack Atlas's D-Wheel, relentlessly pursuing him no matter which direction he dodged!
"Let's abandon any wishful thinking, Jack~" Luciano chuckled. "The effect of Machine Emperor - Divine Sky - Top Three: When the opponent duelist suffers LP damage, inflict 500 points of effect damage on the opponent!"

"My calculations are always absolutely accurate!"

"Elimination—Jack Atlas!!!"

Luciano pointed mockingly to the sky, just as the commentator had done when announcing the duel's outcome!

"Sizzle s ...

Colorful ion spheres exploded on Jack Atlas's body, and terrifying ion currents spread throughout his entire body!

The powerful impact was unbearable, but Jack Atlas, who had just subdued the Crimson Demon, stubbornly withstood it and charged into the repair shop with a roar!
“Beep————————————”

Jack Atlas: LP: 500 → 0

When Jack Atlas returned to the maintenance depot, everyone gathered around.

But the arrogant Jack Atlas simply waved his hand. Before the crimson flames on his body had completely dissipated, he tore off the new 5Ds team sign from his arm and personally stuck it on Yusei Fudo's arm.

Two close friends could understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

Yusei Fudo put on his helmet, and his red and black D-wheels roared off the starting line as Luciano completed a lap and earned an extra SPC.

“Duel!!!!!”

[Yusei Fudo, SPC: 3→4; LP: 4000]

[Luciano, SPC: 4→5; LP: 4000]

"My turn!! Draw a card!!!" (End of Chapter)
