"Victory is ours!"
The commentator with the airplane haircut was stunned for a moment before he spoke.
"The winner is, the duelist of the Happy Team, Yugen Fujiki!"
"Commander Yugen continues to write his legend of defeating three opponents in a row. He participated in the WRGP team competition alone and managed to win to such an extent! Could it be that Commander Yugen is truly capable of achieving the feat of a single player winning the team championship?"
"That would definitely be a miracle recorded in history, unprecedented and likely without successors, forever remembered in the history of duels..."
The commentator with the airplane haircut was so excited that he was spitting, clearly shaken. Even the commentator was like this, not to mention the audience, who had already erupted.
Yes, this wasn't the first time that Yugen defeated three opponents in a row. But compared to the teams he faced before, this time, the opponents were on a completely different level.
This was the Twilight of the Gods Team!
Rulers from Northern Europe, the legendary holders of the Extreme Gods. The Star Realm Triumvirate is considered legendary monsters in the entire dueling realm, and many fans and even experts predicted that the three members of the Twilight of the Gods Team were the most likely champions of this WRGP.
Yet they didn't even become champions, suffering such a significant defeat in the hands of Yugen during the preliminaries. All three gods emerged, the trio gave their all, and they still couldn't handle this single opponent.
No, or it could even be said, they were completely toyed with by this single opponent.
The audience exploded, and the ones involved were even more shocked.
Harald's D-Wheel stopped forcefully, while he sat on it, staring intently at his hand and card deck, his eyes vacant, expression twisted, unable to accept the reality.
"No... no way..."
He lost, and not just lost, but lost with his most proud "Supreme Divine Emperor Odin".
Unlike his teammates, Dragan and Brever, although all three were chosen ones destined to receive the divine power, the other two awakened during their growth.
Harald was different. The Supreme Divine Emperor Odin was a god passed down through his family for generations, but originally, Odin's card had its eyes closed. It's said that only a duelist recognized by Odin can make the god open its eyes, which would be a sign of recognition for the duelist.
Young Harald set out on a journey to gain Odin's recognition, awakening the "Rune Eye" and obtaining immense power. He became a colonel in the army, but his "Rune Eye" perceived that the world was about to face a massive crisis, and that playing cards was the primary force to save the world, with the army being just for fun. Realizing this, he decided to forgo his rank and sought the other two holders of the Divine Cards, planning to save the world through dueling.
The family legacy of the Supreme Divine Emperor Odin was his pride, and he endured countless hardships just to finally make Odin open its eyes. Until now, he always fought alongside Odin, using the all-knowing and all-powerful divine power to crush all opponents.
He never imagined that one day he would be crushed by that all-knowing and all-powerful divine power himself.
Damn it, I didn't even summon a monster, and yet you could do that, that's too much!
What the hell is this Machine Emperor God Dragon?
Harald was frustrated, and the other two members of the Twilight of the Gods Team were no better off. The match was terribly suffocating for them; all three took turns, yet they felt that their gods' powers hadn't fully unleashed before they had to exit the stage.
In the end, all three wore grim expressions. Even during the post-match handshake, they went through the process with gloomy faces, saying nothing, and quickly left.
As if even one more look at this sly old fox across from them would be too much.
Yugen watched the three quickly disappearing figures and shrugged innocently.
"Don't be so angry, it's just a preliminary match, after all, you haven't been eliminated. With such a poor mindset, how are you going to play..."
Brever almost stumbled, turned back, and glared at him viciously.
Poor mindset?
Brever thought that after this duel, being able to restrain from charging up to fight physically was already quite commendable.
He seemed like he wanted to say something but was held back by Harald beside him. So Brever ended up saying nothing and just turned to walk away.
But after today, the name Machine Emperor would probably also be known to the Star Realm Triumvirate. Shame like this probably isn't common even in the long life of these gods.
Of course, today's match was destined to draw considerable attention. Especially after the startling match outcome, as time passes, the name Machine Emperor will increasingly become known throughout the dueling realm.
For the Taiyi Three Emperors, who also participated in the WRGP as the "New World Team", this perhaps was not good news.
After all, unlike Yugen, who was satisfied with enjoying playing around with the Machine Emperor today, they'd probably switch to a new card deck tomorrow. The Taiyi Three Emperors' main force was the Machine Emperor, and they basically wouldn't change decks. After today, everyone knew the terror of the Machine Emperor, more or less being wary, and it slightly raised the difficulty for them.
However, this disadvantage was negligible regarding the strength of the Taiyi Three Emperors.
And actually, the Taiyi trio was now more stunned than the recently beaten Twilight of the Gods Team.
"Wait... can someone tell me what exactly the 'Machine Emperor Dragon Triskelion' is?"
Luciano was dumbfounded.
"Do we have such a thing in our Machine Emperor card deck?"
Jose was silent, while Placido was agitated. But no one could answer his question.
Yes, do we have such a thing in our Machine Emperor card deck? Why don't we know?
Of course, they wouldn't know because, in this dimension, the card was only made public yesterday. This was the result of one of the card research departments under Taiyi after Yugen took over Taiyi.
Yugen found that the research department under Taiyi was of a different quality, after all, it was led by ZONE, much more advanced than the current era's researchers.
Yugen merely indicated the existence of the "Machine Emperor Dragon", and a relevant department quickly provided him with the card he wanted.
Machine Emperor Dragon Triskelion, this was a card that hadn't existed during the 5DS animation era, a new reinforcement for the Machine Emperor series in the future.
Its greatest feature, as just displayed, is the ability to snatch a monster from the opponent's extra card deck.
And its most important improvement is that this card, unlike other Machine Emperor series, isn't limited to just Synchro monsters. Its effect only states "appoint a monster from the opponent's extra card deck to be equipped", without specifying Synchro monsters.
In other words, whether they are Fusion or Synchro monsters, or even monsters from more peculiar future summoning methods, as long as they are in the extra card deck, they can be taken without error.
This is what Yugen loves most about this Machine Emperor Dragon.
Especially in the animation, from the 5DS period onward, most characters' ace monsters are in the extra card deck, and they are usually unique with only one copy. Many characters even like to build their card decks around specific ace monsters, where the entire deck's tactical mindset is to summon that particular ace, and the remaining cards in the deck are all support cards for that monster.
So at the start of the match, snatching the opponent's ace from their extra card deck is sheer joy to think about.
This is what a duel should look like.
