Just when Hayato was regretting that he had "killed" a life (and lost at least more than forty cards that Mao could have obtained), the sun in the sky was getting bigger and bigger.
If enjoying a moment of long-lost sunshine after being shrouded in clouds for a long time is a kind of enjoyment, then staying under the increasingly strong sunshine has become a kind of torture.
Because of the retreat of the undead, Maeda Hayato and Tenjoin Fubuki, who no longer had to stay at the Rainbow Bridge to continue consuming the enemy forces, were the first to return. Looking up at the blazing sun in the sky, Fubuki couldn't help but feel: "Isn't that true every time?
At the end of this adventure, there must be some sun-related phenomena? I remember it was the same in the [Valley of the King’s Sleep].”
"It's still a little different. At least the [Valley of the Royal Family's Rest] only uses three suns to represent whether the entrance and exit there are open. It's not as sunny as here."
Maeda had a deep impression of the "Valley of the Royal Family's Rest" that he and Judai had experienced together, not least because it was the first time he met his card spirit "Death Koala" and was saved by it.
, especially because in that adventure he was almost buried alive as a sacrifice by the elves of the [Tomb Guard] clan.
After a pause, Maeda suddenly reacted belatedly and looked at Tenjoin Fubuki next to him in surprise: "Wait a minute, Tenjoin senior, do you also know about the [Valley of the Royal Family's Rest]? Did you go there before?
Have you ever taken any risks?”
"[The elder guarding the tomb] said that someone also passed his test before, could it be you? The other half of the disk that Jida got later was also obtained from you?"
"This topic has long been over."
Hearing Maeda's words, Fubuki was a little embarrassed and helplessly wiped the sweat from his head, not only because he had been commanding the [Red-Eyed Black Dragon] to attack the undead before, but also because he was rendered speechless by Maeda. How much did he do?
He also understood how the characters in the tokusatsu film "Masked Cavalry Saber" that Judai had recommended to him felt when someone mentioned that "Oken is actually Kamijou Daichi".
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Hayato also frowned and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"
"Eh? Me?" [Summoner-Aleister] looked around and said strangely, "I can't even reach the end of the universe——"
"I've read enough of the same lines, so hurry up and get down. Besides, I'm not asking you, I'm asking her." Hayato interrupted [Summoner-Aleister] and pointed to his side.
, and [Aleister] looked in the direction Hayato pointed. He had just confirmed that there was no one else around, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly noticed a woman in black robe standing next to Hayato.
"Huh? Where did you come from, and you are so close to Hayato-sama!"
Seeing that the woman who suddenly appeared was so close to Hayato, almost touching Hayato's clothes, [Temple's Waterman] was also anxious, and with anger and jealousy, he was about to attack the woman angrily, or [
Aleister] quickly grabbed her staff to prevent her from swinging it out.
"Calm down, calm down!"
"How can I calm down! I've never been so close to Hayato-sama! Such disrespectful behavior is enviable...I mean, I'm so angry!"
"Hey, did you tell the truth just now?"
Hayato turned his head and looked at the woman in black who was looking at [Aleister] and [Waterman of the Temple] with great interest, and asked: "[Battle of the King of the Death Realm]?"
Although it was a question, his tone was quite certain.
"It's [Hell], it's [Hell], no matter what, call me 'Hela', there's no way you can call me [King of the Dead Realm]." With one hand on her hip, the woman in black - transferred from the underworld of Heim
The [Death Realm King Battle - Hel] who came here raised a finger and corrected, "And it's very boring to guess the answer right from the beginning."
"That's a pity. I'm not the kind of person who enjoys the process of cracking a maze. I prefer to demolish all the way to the destination." Turning around and looking at [Death Realm King Battle - Hel], Hayato shrugged, "
Just like now, I don't really care about the process of obtaining the changes in the sun in the sky, I just want to know the answer."
"As much as I want to tell you, in fact I am just a poor man who has just escaped from control. Even a minute ago, I was still in Helheim, or was I just transferred to Jotunheim?
You came here and I didn’t even have time to see what was going on with the sun in the sky before you discovered it.”
[Death King Battle - Hel] showed his hands helplessly. Compared with [Death King Battle - Hel] as a duel monster, the hands of [Death King Battle - Hel] in front of Hayato are actually not skeleton arms.
, but the flesh, flesh and skin are growing normally, and the skin even looks pretty good. Maybe it’s because the underworld of Helm, also known as the Land of Fog, doesn’t get any sunlight?
However, although he didn't know the answer Hayato wanted, [Death King Battle - Hel] pointed to someone lying on the ground not far away, and said with a smile, "I don't know, it doesn't really matter.
?After all, you see, some people should know~"
[Loput] was woken up by Hayato's kick. As soon as he woke up, he saw Hayato's face that frightened him appeared in front of him, and he was so scared that his whole body trembled.
"Are you not dead yet? If not, get up quickly."
"Oh." Hearing Hayato's words, [King of War Shadow-] Lopt nodded subconsciously and prepared to stand up. Suddenly he remembered that he seemed to have been knocked unconscious by Hayato's blow. It was so bad that he had to stare at it with his eyes! Look at it.
Hayato, although he is the opponent's defeated general, does not prevent [Loput] from still maintaining a dragging attitude, "Huh, you are just a human, why should I listen to you?"
"If you like to sit on the floor and talk so much, do whatever you want."
"Hmph, I hate it when people look down at me with such a condescending attitude!" Hayato asked [Lopt] to get up, but he just sat on the ground and couldn't get up, but if Hayato said that he planned to continue to look down like an ant,
Looking at him talking in a certain way, [Loput] quit again and immediately got up from the ground.
However, when he looked up and saw the blazing sun, he was a little surprised, and then he laughed triumphantly: "Although you defeated me, you still can't change the ending of destruction that this world is about to usher in, Hayato Kobayashi." Gods
Although the actors of "Dusk" are not all here, the tragic drama that has begun must continue until it is finished."
Hayato raised his eyebrows and glanced at [King Zhan Zhi Shadow-Loput], who was as miserable as a beggar gang because of being beaten before: "Do you really know what is going on?"
"Of course! Because this itself is one of the back-ends of my plan! Do you think I deliberately cast 'Lewantin' before just to transform into [King of Shadow Realm - Lewondine]?" [King of Shadows of War]
-Loput] proudly said, "I intervened in the 'Finbul Winter' and tried to expand the scope of its influence, but this power does not come from me, but is borrowed from this world."
'Come, strengthen the technique by issuing a loan in advance."
"The counterpart to cold winter is naturally intense heat. The price of the loan is the continuous high temperature after the end of the 'Finbul Winter'. But because you defeated me, the high temperature should have been paid back slowly over tens of thousands of years."
It has become a debt that needs to be paid off at once. This world will be burned to ashes in the fire, and it is all caused by you, Hayato Kobayashi!"
Hearing [Loput] throw the blame on himself, Hayato sneered without any psychological burden at all: "It seems that I am right if I don't knock you down. If this virtual world is destroyed, it will be destroyed. What does it have to do with me? It's better than that.
It's better to let you run into the real world and cause trouble."
"That's easy to say, but do you think the destruction of this world has nothing to do with it? I'll tell you the same thing, what do you think this world is made of? Pure data and networks? No, it's you humans.
The consciousness, the collective consciousness of all humans who enter this game!”
Although [Loput], who has a mythical and magical background, talks about data and the Internet, it sounds strange, but it does not prevent Hayato from instantly understanding what he means, and [Loput] continues to talk.
Go on: "You said before that I am not qualified to intervene in this so-called 'Duel-Links' network? Okay! Great, then your destruction will have nothing to do with me, and those who will be hurt by the destruction of the world will
It’s just you humans.”
"Depending on the strength of the will and the stability of the spirit, there may be humans who can still have consciousness after the destruction of the world. You don't have to thank me for helping you select outstanding 'new humans', but what is certain is that those who enter this game will
The vast majority of human beings will be directly brain-dead and become living corpses, and then spread the 'plague'!"
"Of course it's not a real virus, it's just a distortion of reality that occurs when the spirit of death goes berserk and blurs the boundaries between reality and spirit. I even helped you think of a name for that time, 'Chaotic Openness'
, not bad, right?”
"You, or the humans who came to Jotunheim with you, may be outstanding 'new humans' who can survive, but what about the larger number of people? For example, those who were invited by the makers of this world are like those who sat before.
The human named 'Becas' next to you, or the less important, but numerous, students of yours?"
"Repent for being my enemy, Hayato Kobayashi! Even if you survive, you will only be transferred from the purgatory of death to another purgatory full of suffocating pressure. This is the punishment I will impose on you! No one can defeat me.
, even if I fail, you can't be the winner!"
"You bastard!" A fist hit [Loput] in the face, but he laughed and was knocked to the ground. However, he suddenly discovered that Hayato was not provoked by him and made him angry. Just now
It wasn't Hayato who was incompetent and furious, it was a boy with a jellyfish head who took action.
"Where did you come from here?!"
"Just a passing hero, remember it for me!"
I went to the Heim Underworld with Banjomu, and tried to defeat [Death Realm King Battle - Hel] but was brought back to [Todo Kai] by her. Although Judai did not appear next to Hayato like [Hel].
It was in a location but not far away. Not long after arriving here, he saw Hayato waking up the unconscious [Loput], and then he could clearly hear everything that [Loput] said without saying a word.
"What a nasty bastard, you can actually do such a despicable thing!" Banzhangmu, who was traveling with Judai, also looked at [Loput] on the ground with disdain, "What does this have to do with threatening others to lose to you by jumping off a cliff?
Both!"
"Kaiba is probably sneezing, but when I found out that Becas was actually invited into this world by Kaiba, I kind of guessed that something was going to happen. It's unforgivable, Becas!" Hayato said,
Glancing at [Loput], "I already know the specific situation, so you are of no use. Youcheng, Wanzhangmu, I will leave this guy to you."
As he spoke, Hayato walked towards Caesar, who was still an ice sculpture, completely ignoring the fact that [Loput] behind him was being beaten up by Judai, Banjomu, and other people who came one after another as a sandbag to vent their dissatisfaction - after all
They almost died because of this bastard, but beating [Loput] who now has no ability to cast spells can even be considered gentle.
In front of Caesar's ice sculpture, Hayato kept looking at it, and while [Temple's Waterman] stopped [Death Realm King Battle-Hell] from getting close to Hayato, [Aleister] took the opportunity to stand in front of Hayato.
On the side, he said curiously: "Master, have you just thought of a solution to the problem? How did you discover the invisible woman just now?"
"Although [Loput] is just a clown, his 'Run Eyes' is still a very useful ability. Not only can he see through illusions, ignore invisibility, but he can also find hidden spells."
As if he had found something, Hayato stretched out his finger to touch the ice sculpture, "Just like... like this!"
It seemed that he didn't use much force, but when Hayato touched the ice sculpture, the place where it was was suddenly exploded. As broken ice flew, Caesar flew out from there and fell on his back.
"Am I recovering?" Although he was frozen by magic just now, Caesar still has his own consciousness and knows what happened. But what puzzles him is, "I fell to the ground, why didn't I feel any pain?
?Are the nerves frozen to death?"
"Because Ryo, you sat on me!" Fubuki, who had just returned to the square, was caught off guard by Caesar who hit him. He was lying on the ground and slapped the ground repeatedly, "Get up quickly, hey, my waist is covered
I'm going to be killed by you!"
On Hayato's side, he clicked on the ice sculpture to unblock Caesar, but he held his hand, pinched the caught piece of ice tightly, and watched it slowly transform into a green mistletoe arrow.
"...You have no objection? That's fine."
Hearing Hayato talking to himself, [Aleister] tilted his head: "Master, are you talking to me?"
"Of course not, I'm asking [Long Huiqiao] and them."
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. Even though the scorching sun was so high that it was almost impossible for ordinary people to open their eyes, Hayato, with runes flashing in his eyes, could still clearly see the blue sky and the starry sky higher up - since "
The world of "Duel-Links" is created based on collective consciousness. Even if its basic framework has been set to be the mythical "Nine Realms", how can a large group of modern people who enter the game not be able to imagine the starry sky?
What about the existence of?
"I asked them if they would mind having an extra star by their side." On the sky, the light of the constellation Draco shone brightly.
