Chapter 464: Wouldn't It Have Been Better to Use the Red Form from the Start?
Although it sounded like it was heading in the direction of "This is a secret between us" or "I miss you so much," the sound Zigfried, who looked incredibly pretentious, made when he cried out, "Hmph hmph uh ah ah ah," stank like marsh gas.
But Hayato was actually just having Joey Wheeler hold Zigfried down and tickle him.
While Zigfried was left lying on the ground by Joey Wheeler, looking completely broken, Hayato and Yugi also received the full information.
"A Trojan program implanted within KaibaCorp, the card that activates the Trojan program, and 【Uria, Lord of Searing Flames】which causes the anomaly. These are the three necessary conditions for this anomaly to occur," Yugi said with a serious expression. "Furthermore, connecting the three is a certain device located underground at the Kaiba Dome Venue."
"To stop or interrupt the anomaly, eliminating the first three is a necessary condition, but the most important and final step is to go to where that device is located and destroy the running device."
"Is it like in an RPG game, where the heroes collect keys to open the gate leading to the demon king's castle?" Joey Wheeler tried to summarize in his own way. "But speaking of which, I didn't see Tristan and the others when we came back."
Hayato replied, "As for Tristan and the others, they went ahead of us to find that 'device' underground. Marik helped lead the way. If it really is an RPG game script, Tristan is more like the hero who saves the world than us tool persons who helped break the sealing barrier."
"Huh?! I was planning to brag to Tristan about how Joey Wheeler the Great saved the world again after resolving the anomaly, but that guy stole a march and hogged the spotlight?!"
Hayato was just joking, but Joey Wheeler spoke seriously, seemingly genuinely wanting to seize this opportunity to show off. He said somewhat anxiously, "No way, Tristan has already taken a step ahead. Hayato, Yugi, let's hurry over too!"
Although it looked like he was anxious about Tristan stealing the spotlight, both Hayato and Yugi could see that Joey Wheeler was actually saying one thing but meaning another. He was rushing because he was worried about Tristan and Téa.
While speaking, Joey Wheeler naturally didn't forget Kaiba.
"Although compared to Tristan, we seem to be a step late, looking at it from another perspective, at least we're faster than a certain someone." He didn't name names, but Joey Wheeler's eye never left Hayato's mobile phone. "Hmphahaha, we'll be going ahead now, Kaiba."
"Hmph, boring. As expected of you, mediocre person."
Kaiba didn't take Joey Wheeler's provocation seriously at all. "Compared to that, the mediocre person did say one thing correctly, and that is Hayato and Yugi, you'd better hurry up and end this farce sooner."
"All sorts of messy things are piling up. Even I feel a bit of a headache, no wonder Keipei thinks I should experience how tired he usually is."
At the KC Cup hosted by KaibaCorp, there was an incident where a large number of audience members fell. Even though public accountability and 911 rescue haven't arrived yet, Kaiba could imagine how troublesome the public relations and disaster recovery situation would be later.
More importantly, Kaiba hadn't forgotten that Keipei was still inside the venue and hadn't left. He might not care about others, but he had always cared about his younger brother.
However, Kaiba's personality had never had anything to do with being "frank." And even if he did say he was worried about Keipei, it wouldn't be to Hayato and Yugi. He didn't want to show his emotional side to duelists he acknowledged.
Kaiba Seto only needed to be a duelist without feelings.
Underground at the Kaiba Dome Venue, Bakura pulled back the hood on his head and looked at a blank card before him with interest.
"How wonderful. It can revive with just pure duelist's will and ordinary human life energy. Even I am somewhat envious."
"Huh? It still requires a key? Tsk, it's not as simple as I imagined after all, it's even a bit more troublesome."
"Heh heh, you can rest assured. I have no interest in humans, and since I said I would help you, I will definitely keep my word. Since we have no profit conflicts, it's not an exaggeration to say we're a best match."
Although there was no other sound in this place besides Bakura, Bakura talked to himself as if someone was communicating with him, looking at the blank card with a smile.
Just then, the keenly perceptive Bakura suddenly frowned. As if sensing something, he turned his head and looked at the door behind him.
On the other side of the door, Kujaku Mai and Rebecca were supporting Téa and Keipei respectively, while Tristan and Ryuji Otogi were both pushing against the door with all their might, trying to open it. But no matter how hard they pushed, veins bulging on their foreheads, the door remained motionless.
"I say, can you two grown men actually do it?"
"Don't question me!" Otogi replied reflexively. "Whether a man can do it and a woman's age are forbidden questions!"
Saying that, he exerted force again, and Tristan also burst forth with him, but the motionless door seemed to be mocking their effort, which was all for nothing.
"Honestly, why are you men all so concerned about saving face?" Kujaku Mai pouted, leaning Téa against Rebecca beside her. "Help me hold her for a moment, little girl."
"That's why I'm not a little girl, you old woman!"
Rebecca's protest was completely ignored by Kujaku Mai. With her hands free, Kujaku Mai raised the duel disk she was wearing. "Duel monster materialization or whatever, I don't understand the specific principle, but I'm a pragmatist!"
"Come out, My Ladies, 【Harpie Lady Sisters】!"
Just like a certain ace pilot who, after learning from a colleague that "the red form can defeat opponents," particularly favored the red form, Kujaku Mai completely gave up thinking after learning that Duel Monsters could actually materialize, and happily played the Harpie Lady Sisters card again.
Compared to Otogi and Tristan, who struggled for a long time without being able to shake the door, the Harpie Ladies simply kicked it and pushed the door open with extreme ease.
Honda and Otogi, unprepared, also stumbled forward. Otogi was fine and managed to stop himself in time, but Tristan couldn't stop his momentum at all and lunged into the doorway.
Because he sensed that the arrivals behind the door had used duel spirit power to open the door, Bakura calmly set up a dark magic defense field against card spirits beforehand. He struck a cool pose behind the door, ready to greet everyone.
He could lose other things, but not his aura.
Bakura, who had a strong sense of being a villain boss, was about to say something when he saw an opening kicked into the door.
Then, in the next second, as if the convergence of timelines, Tristan's fist struck the Rabbit-Eared Great Demon King's nose bridge.
