Chapter 997

"Speaking of which, it seems we haven't heard the will of the gods for a long time..."

Luciano said suddenly.

The other two were silent.

This is a fact.

In the past, they were the Three Emperors of Iliaster, the people who led the Iliaster organization. And Iliaster was the most important unit under Zone, and most of the work was dispatched and arranged by them, so they had always been the absolute core.

But thinking about it now, how long has it been since they received an oracle?

It seems, apparently, it probably started from the appearance of a certain punchable new emperor?

The space fell into a strange silence, and the atmosphere became a bit stiff.

No one took the lead to say it, but at this moment, such doubts began to emerge in the hearts of the three.

Have they been abandoned?

Thinking about it, it seems that it is indeed not unreasonable.

They failed in their work, and in terms of strength, they were completely crushed by this new emperor. It is normal for the gods to hand over more work to capable people.

The best evidence is that the gods clearly developed the new power of the Meklord series, but they didn't hand it over to these original Meklord holders, but chose this new Emperor of Iliaster.

What is more powerful evidence than this?

Just in this strange silence, cracks appeared in the space, and someone who had just finished disciplining the Three Northern Gods walked into this space with leisurely steps.

"What are you three doing standing there in a daze instead of working?"

The three: "..."

You Xuan walked into it and looked down.

I saw that just under their feet, above this void space like a cosmic curtain, tens of thousands of light veins grew out of the void, like nerve veins drawn by invisible hands. These light paths are sometimes straight as swords, sometimes winding like snakes, and intertwined into a breathing three-dimensional network in absolute darkness. Each light path is composed of flowing stardust, and rainbow-colored data sparks constantly erupt at the intersection nodes, illuminating the entire space like a broken mirror maze.

Three spiral main roads are entwining with each other, splitting into countless fractal branches along the way, and each branch derives more subtle secondary circuits. The entire system seems to be expanding like a living thing, occasionally a certain area will suddenly go dark, and then be relit in a brand new geometric form, just like a universe is repeatedly calculating an ultimate formula with a light pen.

Circuit.

This is the circuit that Zone is drawing for the descent of the "Ark Cradle." The WRGP is held for this purpose, and the energy released by all the dueling duelists who fought with all their strength has become the nourishment for the circuit.

"Oh oh, so many have emerged in one breath today." You Xuan smiled. "Is it because of the duel just now?"

Meklord Emperor vs. Three Polar Gods, it is indeed a duel of sufficient weight, and there are probably not many duels of this level in the entire WRGP. The circuit that emerged from this match is more than the total number of circuits in the entire competition so far.

"Yes." He Sai said in a deep voice. "Your move was very effective, and the progress of the circuit has been greatly accelerated. In this way, the 'City of God' should be able to descend soon."

The City of God is what these lower-level personnel call the Ark Cradle.

Luciano hugged his arms and curled his lips: "Well, in this way, we are even less needed."

You Xuan looked at him strangely: "Don't need you? Who said that?"

The three looked at each other.

Then Luciano pouted and said: "Otherwise? Meklord Astro Dragon - Triskelion, there is actually such a thing... I haven't even heard of it."

Placido, who had been silent, also hummed in a low voice and said: "I'm afraid the gods also feel that your meager strength is not enough to control such a monster. Meklord Astro Dragon is clearly a higher existence that transcends our respective Meklord Emperors."

You Xuan seemed to understand something and laughed: "Oh? Do you think that your gods abandoned you, so they handed over the new power of the Meklord Emperor to me?"

The three were silent. "Then you really wronged him." You Xuan smiled. "I think, seeing Meklord Astro Dragon in today's match, your god is probably no less surprised than you are."

"Eh?"

The three looked up together, a little surprised.

He Sai said: "Meklord Astro Dragon... isn't it a card given to you by the gods?"

"Of course not, this card was just finished yesterday. I supervised it myself." You Xuan said casually. "My own research and development, or at least the idea I proposed."

"The development of this monster, even Zone probably doesn't know about it."

The expressions of the three instantly became wonderful.

The happy part is that they may not have been abandoned by the gods. Because Meklord Astro Dragon was not given by the gods at all, but was tinkered with by this guy in front of them.

However, at the same time, this also warned them of one thing. This person is not only better at playing cards than them, but even capable of his own scientific research and development, and he has created something like Meklord Astro Dragon not long after taking office in Iliaster.

Doesn't it mean that the gap between the three of them and this person has become even wider?

"The plan hasn't changed, the three of you will continue to form 'Team New World,' participate in the WRGP, and defeat Yusei Fudo and his Team 5D's."

You Xuan said sternly.

"You have your tasks, and I have mine. The gods have their own considerations, you have always believed this, haven't you?

I believe that for him, you are by no means just tools to achieve goals, not that you can be abandoned just because you can be abandoned.

You are his irreplaceable companions, or at least the continuation of his companions. If I have to say it, I am the tool with the greatest utility value at the current stage, and if I lose my utility value, I can be replaced at any time.

In the end, I am just a collaborator with consistent interests. And you are his companions."

The trio's expressions were complex, looking at each other.

They really didn't expect that this Fujiki You Xuan, this new emperor who replaced their position and had been so annoying since taking office, would say such things to them.

Looking at it this way, maybe... just maybe...

This person is not as annoying as he looks?

"Oh right, speaking of which..."

You Xuan tilted his head and thought.

"You should also have a little sense of urgency."

He Sai: "What?"

"Yusei Fudo, it seems he has received some inspiration recently and is studying the secret of 'Accel Synchro'."

You Xuan smiled.

"Jack Atlas too. He went to find the ruins of the legendary Earthbound Immortal Red Nova two days ago, and now he probably has some discoveries."

"The Signers all have their own evolution, so be careful when you meet them in the WRGP."

"Hmph, let them evolve as much as they want, and then bring it on."

Placido regained his usual pride.

"Then these stupid bugs will be crushed into pieces by the power of my Wisel!"
