Chapter 781: Using It When You Shouldn't Makes It Meaningless
"I'm more curious, this guy actually admitted what he did so simply?" Malik looked at the Great Dark Priest with contempt, saying, "Too stupid. Doesn't this just give us another reason to finish him off?"
"If it were me, I'd definitely hide it a bit, and absolutely wouldn't tell the truth so easily."
"That's why you can only be a mid-story mini-boss, while he can be the final antagonist, Six-Year-Old (Nickname)." Hayato glanced at Malik, "Also, before you express your contempt for him, can you please come out from behind me?"
And while the few of them were talking, the Great Dark Priest walked down from the tablet he was standing on, standing at the same height as them, saying without a trace of emotion in his voice, "The reason I will answer your questions is, since you have already come before me, do you still think you can leave here?"
"If I were to kill you, using this tablet would be better." The Great Dark Priest said, as a tablet suddenly rose from the Ground in front of him, "Revive, Aggregate of Resentment!"
"Diabound!"
"What!?" Hearing the Great Dark Priest's words, the four people excluding Hayato were instantly startled. Only to see from the tablet that rose from the Underground, which was inlaid with a circle of human bones around its edge, a pair of strong arms extended, followed by a winged body and a snake-headed lower body. A monster that the few of them had seen many times crawled out from the tablet, it was **Diabound Kernel**!
Just as Hayato remembered, **Diabound Kernel** was the aggregate of the hatred and grudge spirit remaining after the villagers of Thief Village who died unjustly were refined into Millennium Items. As long as this malice was not dispelled and the tablet was not destroyed, even if **Diabound Kernel** was annihilated again and again, it could still regenerate infinitely.
However, that was all there was to it.
"The same move won't have any effect against **Diabound Kernel**, I can also use this classic Saint Seiya line." Hayato raised his Duel Arena and said, "Diabound, who has already been killed once, has degenerated to its most primitive state, right? In that case, no matter how many times it can revive, I'll kill it for you to see all the same!"
"Come forth, **The Winged Dragon of Ra**!"
Seeing Hayato call a god, Karim couldn't help but say to the Great Dark Priest somewhat proudly, "Heh heh, you're defeated. Mr. Hayato's **The Winged Dragon of Ra** is super powerful, and among the Egyptian God Cards protecting the Pharaoh, it is also a being at the very apex."
"To finish you off, not even a second is needed!"
Following Hayato's call, riding the firelight, came a cry. Karim was already ready to continue praising **The Winged Dragon of Ra** greatly after its appearance. However, after the firelight dispersed, the appearance of **The Winged Dragon of Ra** that appeared before the few of them was slightly off.
"Ying?"
**The Winged Dragon of Ra** also felt strange about the gaze the few people directed at it. It looked down and but saw that it had inexplicably shrunk, becoming not much larger than an average flying creature!
"Heh heh, I forgot to tell you, the tablet behind me is a tablet connected to the Underworld. Each Millennium Item embedded in it can release a portion of the power of the existence sealed within."
"The Millennium Key, which represents 'life', can correspondingly absorb life force. Those bones you saw on top were precisely defiled life force converted from this power." The Great Dark Priest said with composure, "And the Millennium Rod, which can call gods, has now granted me the ability to block your Egyptian God from projecting its power."
"The distance between here and the Royal City where the Egyptian God's true form tablet is placed is so vast that even the power of the strongest **The Winged Dragon of Ra** is reduced to less than one-tenth. This is your end!"
As soon as the Great Dark Priest finished speaking, **Diabound Kernel** took action, releasing its attack towards everyone.
Immediately, Isis summoned three Stone Tablet Monsters to try and resist **Diabound Kernel's** Spiral Wave. Although the current **Diabound Kernel** had degenerated to its initial state with much less power than before, at that time, **Diabound Kernel** in this state still soloed the former Priest Set. At this moment, Isis alone simply couldn't block **Diabound Kernel**. The three monsters were completely annihilated and destroyed as soon as they appeared.
Isis also stepped back a few steps because her Stone Tablet Monsters were defeated, and Malik quickly supported her: "Hey, are you okay, Isis? Hurry up and continue the battle, that monster is coming again!"
The second Spiral Wave was released. This time, the one who actively met it was the **Thunder Dragon** summoned by Karim. But after changing the target, the result was the same. The Spiral Wave broke through all three **Thunder Dragons**. Karim also followed in Isis's footsteps and fell, supported by Malik.
"Hey, Hayato Kobayashi, now is not the time to care about meaningless things like pride and honor." Looking at Kaiba beside him, who also didn't have the ability to summon monsters like himself, and seeing that Karim and Isis were not a match for **Diabound Kernel's** single attack, and Hayato's **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** power was also specifically restricted, Malik suggested, "We must escape immediately."
"To put it in a way you can accept, relocate to preserve our forces, and find a way to defeat this guy somewhere else!"
Hayato also didn't turn around, nodding his back to Malik: "That's right, we should indeed leave. So, Malik, Seto, you two take Karim and Isis and leave here."
"What are you saying? Without your god, how could you be a match for that monster!" Malik was also stunned by Hayato's words, and said anxiously, "I'm only warning you once. If you don't escape now, I won't wait for you. I value my life more than anyone!"
"Hey, you should also try persuading that fool!"
Malik turned his head to look at Kaiba, but saw Kaiba helping Karim up, and turned and said, "Fool, I know Hayato better than you. He wouldn't do something unless he was confident. Besides, if he only relied on the power of gods, he wouldn't be a True Duelist I could acknowledge."
"That's right, isn't it, Hayato?"
**Diabound Kernel** gathered energy to prepare for its third attack. The airflow generated by the gathered energy lifted Hayato's bangs. With his back to Kaiba, Hayato said with a smile, "Ah, yes. Although I was a bit reluctant to use it at first, a card has no meaning if it's not used when it should be used."
As he spoke, Hayato's palm clenched. On the Duel Arena, next to **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** slot, a new mark appeared.
Just as **Diabound Kernel's** attack was about to be unleashed, Hayato suddenly swung his fist upwards: "Now! Ogdoadic King Aron!"
The next moment, from below **Diabound Kernel**, a monster clad in gold armor gathered and formed out of thin air. Its clenched fist smashed **Diabound Kernel's** open mouth shut, and the energy of the Spiral Wave exploded inside **Diabound Kernel's** own mouth.
"Boom!"
I haven't played Scarlet/Violet for an hour because I've been typing. Nemona is crawling on me.
