Chapter 754: Invincibility is a Debuff
"Ha-ya-to Ko-ba-ya-shi!"
Bakura gnashed his teeth, looking hatefully at the troublesome Hayato. It wasn't just because of Hayato's body in this World, "Meriamun". How many times had this happened now? The opponent, again and again, always interfered whenever he was carrying out his plan!
Also, Mutou Yuugi, Tristan Taylor, Katsuya Jounouchi, and Téa Mazaki, how did these guys show up here too!?
Last time, being forced to reveal one of his cheat items by Mahad was already humiliating enough. This time, he had calculated everything perfectly, utilized all the circumstances, and even put another one of his cheat items on the line. He was just about to kill the Pharaoh, but this group of guys popped up and ruined everything!
The angry Bakura glared at Hayato, but saw that Hayato wasn't wearing the Duel Arena used for summoning Stone Tablet Monsters and boosting Spirit Power. Furthermore, after blocking *Diabound Kernel*'s Spiral Wave just now, The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode that Hayato had brought out didn't persist either, but disappeared.
Right, this guy doesn't have a Duel Arena. In that case, he fundamentally can't continuously summon Spirit Materializations like before. He *does* have an opportunity to win!
"Heh, originally I was thinking of defeating you and the Nameless Pharaoh separately. Are you in such a hurry to die, letting me settle the score between us, Hayato Kobayashi?"
Having figured this out, Bakura's expression also calmed down slightly. He looked at Hayato with disdain, "What is your reliance? Is it Drytron? Unfortunately, Hayato, the power of your spirits has already been completely adapted to by my *Diabound Kernel*. Everything that doesn't kill *Diabound Kernel* will only make *Diabound Kernel* stronger."
He paused, then Bakura glanced at Dark Yugi, who was shielded by Hayato, and continued, his voice full of contempt and pride, "Or perhaps, it's The Winged Dragon of Ra? As the most powerful existence among the Three Egyptian Gods, it indeed has the qualification to be given special trust and affection by you."
"However, thanks to the Nameless Pharaoh using The Winged Dragon of Ra to attack me just now, even the power of this strongest God has been intercepted by me. My *Diabound Kernel* is now invincible!"
"Do you dare defy me, who possesses *Diabound Kernel*!?"
But upon hearing Bakura's words, Hayato replied with an equally contemptuous sneer: "There's a limit to arrogance, Bakura. Did you get puffed up just because your power got stronger? You actually dare to give yourself an 'Invincible' Debuff."
"Then let me see if what you said is indeed true!"
With that, Hayato waved his hand forward. Without a Duel Arena, there wasn't even a need to chant Hieratic Text. The Winged Dragon of Ra came when called, reappeared before Hayato, and unleashed blazing flames towards *Diabound Kernel*.
"Hit it back, *Diabound Kernel*, Spiral Wave!"
Bakura didn't take The Winged Dragon of Ra's attack seriously. Without any fear, he ordered *Diabound Kernel* to counterattack.
What he didn't expect was that when the attacks unleashed by both sides collided, there was fundamentally no stalemate. The blazing flames unleashed by The Winged Dragon of Ra, summoned by Hayato, actually pierced directly through *Diabound Kernel*'s attack, and the flames burned on *Diabound Kernel*'s body!
"How is that possible!?"
"Heh, there are differences between one sun and another. Do you think you can withstand the midday sun's fire just by facing the evening sunshine, idiot!" Hayato said without batting an eye, "My power is above yours. This kind of thing is as natural as exhaling after inhaling!"
Bakura furrowed his brow: "Tsk, what are you being proud about? You've only gained a slight advantage. Don't forget what I said just now, your attack has been completely adapted to by my *Diabound Kernel*. It fundamentally won't inflict damage!"
As Bakura's voice fell, *Diabound Kernel*, which was enveloped by The Winged Dragon of Ra's flames, shook the wings on its back. The firelight wrapped around its body was violently dispelled, falling onto the surrounding rocks. The scorching sun's fire easily burned through the solid rocks, but *Diabound Kernel*, which had just been completely enveloped by flames, was completely unharmed.
If *Diabound Kernel*'s ability were recorded as a monster effect on a card, it would probably be: If this card is destroyed, special summon it back to the Field, and make the same effect permanently negated against it.
Unless it is completely killed in one go as Bakura said, just like Dark Yugi had The Winged Dragon of Ra do before Time Reversal, otherwise, *Diabound Kernel* is fundamentally an undying existence.
Even though The Winged Dragon of Ra, operated by Hayato at this moment, seems like it exerted more powerful strength than The Winged Dragon of Ra summoned by Dark Yugi, it still couldn't break through *Diabound Kernel*'s resistance defense!
"You've already attacked, haven't you? Then it's my turn now, Hayato!" Bakura said with an evil smile, pointing a hand at Hayato, "Get revenge on that transformation of the sun, *Diabound Kernel*. There's no need for defense, go all out Spiral Wave!"
*Diabound Kernel* received the order, gathered the power throughout its body, and was about to attack The Winged Dragon of Ra. Although it wasn't a Stone Tablet Monster summoned using the power of a Duel Arena, because it was a spirit directly called by Hayato from a card, if The Winged Dragon of Ra were injured, the impact on Hayato would only be greater than if he were wearing a Duel Arena.
And if The Winged Dragon of Ra were killed by *Diabound Kernel*, Hayato's situation would only be even worse than if the Duel Arena's "soul" went completely zero!
---Of course, everything was an if.
Just as Bakura gave the order for *Diabound Kernel* not to make any defense, in the very next instant, suddenly a phantom leaped out from the flames that The Winged Dragon of Ra had dispelled, charging straight towards Bakura. In just the blink of an eye, the attack closed in to within less than ten meters of Bakura!
That was Hayato's Psychic Armorhead. He had simultaneously called it forth at the same time he summoned The Winged Dragon of Ra, and had it hide within The Winged Dragon of Ra's flames to conceal its existence. Now, it charged directly at Bakura.
Although Bakura immediately had *Diabound Kernel* change the direction of its attack, the impact of "Spiral Wave" passed directly through Psychic Armorhead's body, completely unable to influence it. And at this moment, the distance between it and Bakura was already less than five meters!
"Tsk, is that the spirit you awakened from your inner thoughts, from that old man's memory? A spirit awakened using a card stolen from my hand, its ability's annoying level is perfectly matched with you." Seeing this, Bakura wasn't flustered at all. "However, I was prepared long ago. I already guessed how could a guy like you possibly be someone who fights fair and square head-on with others!"
"With the 'Transparency' Effect obtained from Mahad's Shadow Ghoul, boosted by the Millennium Ring, you likewise shouldn't even think about touching me!"
The Millennium Ring on his chest suddenly radiated light. The next instant, the ethereal state Psychic Armorhead touched Bakura's transparent body.
Then, under Bakura's shocked gaze, the Millennium Ring lost its radiance in an instant. His transparency was instantly dispelled just as it was completed. Psychic Armorhead, whose face was identical to Hayato's, revealed a mocking smile. It grabbed the Millennium Ring in one go, and then kicked Bakura right in the center of his chest!
