"Victory decided!"
The airplane-head commentator was stunned for a long moment before finally speaking.
"The winner is the 'Duel Should Be Fun' Team's Fujiki Kira!"
"Director Kira continues to write his miracle of breaking through three opponents alone! Participating in the WRGP team competition as a single person and actually reaching this level! Could Director Kira really achieve the feat of winning the team championship single-handedly?
That would absolutely be a miracle recorded in history—unprecedented, and very likely never to be repeated. It will be forever remembered in the history of dueling…"
The airplane-head commentator was so excited that spit flew everywhere. He was clearly deeply shocked. If even the commentator was like this, the audience was even more so. The crowd had already exploded.
Yes, this wasn't the first time Kira had broken through three opponents. But compared to the teams he had faced before, the level of this opponent was completely different.
This was the Team Ragnarok!
The kings from the North, legendary holders of the Lord of the Aesir. The Three Lord of the Aesir of the Cosmic Realm were legendary monsters renowned throughout the entire dueling world. Many fans and even experts had predicted that these three from Nordic would be the champions of this WRGP.
In the end, not to mention the championship—they suffered such a huge setback at Kira's hands even during the preliminaries. All three gods were deployed. The three of them had gone all out, yet they couldn't even handle a single opponent.
Or rather, they could even be said to have been completely toyed with by this single opponent.
The audience exploded. The people involved were even more devastated.
Halldor's Duel Runner came to a forced stop. Sitting on it, he lowered his head and stared fixedly at his hand and deck, his gaze unfocused and his expression distorted, as if he found it hard to accept this reality.
"Im… impossible…"
He had lost. And he had lost to his most proud "Odin, Father of the Aesir."
Unlike his teammates Dragan and Broder. Although all three were chosen ones destined to obtain the power of gods, the other two had awakened their power during their growth.
Halldor was different. Odin, Father of the Aesir was a god passed down through his family for generations. Originally, Odin's eyes were closed on the card. It was said that only a duelist recognized by Odin could make the god open his eyes—that was the mark of acknowledgment.
From a young age, Halldor had set out on a journey to gain Odin's recognition. He awakened the "Rune Eye" and obtained great power. He became a colonel in the army, but his "Rune Eye" sensed that the world was about to face a massive crisis, and that dueling was the primary force to save the world. The army was just for fun. Realizing this, he chose to abandon his colonel rank, found the other two holders of god cards, and planned to save the world through dueling.
The family-inherited Odin, Father of the Aesir was his pride. After countless hardships, he had finally made Odin open his eyes. Up until now, he had always fought side by side with Odin, crushing all opponents with the power of the omniscient and omnipotent god.
He never imagined that one day he himself would be crushed by that very same omniscient and omnipotent divine power.
A monster I didn't even summon—you can still steal it? That's too much, isn't it?
What the hell kind of Meklord Emperor God Dragon is that?
Halldor felt extremely depressed. The other two members of Team Ragnarok naturally didn't feel any better. This match had been far too frustrating. The three of them had taken turns, yet they felt that the power of their gods hadn't even been able to display itself properly. They didn't even get a chance to exert their strength before they were taken down.
In the end, all three had extremely ugly expressions. Even during the post-match handshake, the three of them kept gloomy faces, said nothing, finished the procedure, and immediately turned to leave.
It was as if they didn't even want to look at that sly old fox on the other side for one extra second.
Kira watched the three quickly disappearing backs and shrugged innocently.
"Don't be so angry. It's just the preliminaries, not like you got eliminated. With such a bad mentality, how can you even duel…"
Broder, who had already walked away, almost stumbled. He turned back and glared at him fiercely.
Bad mentality?
Broder thought that managing to hold himself back from coming up for a real fight after this duel already showed great self-restraint.
He seemed to want to say something, but was held back by Halldor beside him. In the end, Broder stayed silent and simply turned to leave.
However, after today, the name "Meklord Emperor" had probably been firmly remembered by the Three Lord of the Aesir of the Cosmic Realm. In the long divine lives of these three gods, such humiliation was probably quite rare.
Of course, today's match was destined to attract widespread attention. Especially after this shocking result, it would only spread further and further. After today, the name "Meklord Emperor" would be noticed by the entire dueling world.
For the Iliaster Three Pure Nobles, who were also participating in the WRGP under the "New World Team" identity, this was probably not good news.
After all, unlike Kira, who could play with the Meklord Emperors today for fun and switch decks tomorrow, the Iliaster Three Pure Nobles mainly used the Meklord Emperor deck and basically wouldn't change it. After today's battle, everyone would know how terrifying the Meklord Emperors were. They would be somewhat prepared, adding a bit of difficulty for them as well.
But this small disadvantage didn't really matter to the strength of the Iliaster Three Pure Nobles.
Moreover, the Iliaster trio were actually even more shocked right now than the Team Ragnarok that had just been beaten.
"Wait… can someone tell me what the hell 'Meklord Astro Dragon Triskelion' is?"
Luciano was dumbfounded.
"Does our Meklord Emperor deck even have something like that?"
José remained silent. Placido was furious. But no one could answer his question.
Yeah, does the Meklord Emperor deck have something like that? Why didn't we know?
Of course they wouldn't know. Because in this dimension, this card had only just been released yesterday. It was a new result from one of the card research departments under Iliaster after Kira took over.
Kira discovered that Iliaster's research departments were on a completely different level. After all, they were teams brought by ZONE, far surpassing the current era's researchers.
Kira had simply indicated the existence of something called "Meklord Emperor God Dragon," and the relevant department quickly produced the card he wanted.
Meklord Astro Dragon Triskelion was a card that hadn't even been born yet during the 5DS anime period. It was a new form of reinforcement for the Meklord Emperor series in the future.
Its biggest feature, as shown just now, was that it could steal monsters directly from the opponent's Extra Deck.
And its most important improvement was that, unlike other Meklord Emperor series cards that could only steal Synchro Monsters, its effect only said "equip one monster from the opponent's Extra Deck." It never specified Synchro Monster.
In other words, Fusion, Synchro, and even all kinds of strange summoning methods in the future—as long as the monster was in the Extra Deck, it could all be stolen without exception.
This was exactly what Kira liked most about this Meklord Emperor God Dragon.
Especially in the anime, starting from the 5DS period onward, most characters' ace monsters were in the Extra Deck, and they were usually one-of-a-kind. Many characters also liked to build their entire deck around a specific ace monster, with the rest of the deck being support cards serving that particular monster.
So stealing the opponent's ace from the Extra Deck right at the start of the duel—just thinking about it was delightful.
This was what a duel should be like.
