"Chapter 867: I, XX, Love XX the Most
【Predaplant】!? I must Summon Anaconda immediately!
This was Hayato's first reaction upon seeing the new Deck unlocked by the System. However, considering there were many people around, he didn't just take the new Deck out.
But even without taking out the Deck, Hayato, who had calmed down slightly, knew that while this 【Predaplant】 Preconstructed Deck might contain most of the 【Predaplant】 cards, the "Anaconda" he was longing for—【Predaplant Verte Anaconda】—could not possibly be in this Deck.
The reason was simple—although 【Predaplant】 primarily focuses on Fusion Summoning, with a mix of Pendulum and Synchro, 【Predaplant Verte Anaconda】 is the only Link Monster, and it's impossible for the System to release it.
Although its presence isn't high, Hayato's 【SaiQ Duelist System】 is quite firm on its bottom line; it absolutely refuses to release other Summoning Methods that don't belong to the DM Era. The 【Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring】 and other Tuner Monsters Hayato had on hand were obtained from Paradox, who specifically came to be defeated after time travel and challenging four people at once back then. Furthermore, due to the Red Dragon's departure, they have remained in a state without the "Tuner" wording until now.
However, what bothered Hayato slightly was that while the 【Predaplant】 Deck had a certain strength, just like 【Infernoid】 and 【Shaddoll】, it looked like a Deck not typically used by a Protagonist. Even if he were to become an antagonist, he'd at least be a character like one of the Dark Four Heavenly Kings.
He, a dignified Duel King, usually sunny and cheerful, and kind-hearted and passionate when dueling, how did the decks he obtained end up looking like this? But never mind, 【Predaplant】 is still acceptable. At least it helped Hayato unlock 【Predaplant】's 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】, which can now move towards the next phase with the help of 【Predaplant】.
As one of the "Four Heavenly Dragons" appearing in famous fan works of 《Yu-Gi-Oh!》, the 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 from the Fusion Dimension, despite being a Level 8☆, out of place among its counterparts which are either Level 7 or Rank 7, still possesses the ability to evolve into other forms. And the next form of 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】, 【Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon】, requires 【Predaplant】.
Hayato didn't just learn this now, but the main reason he hadn't actively redeemed just any 【Predaplant】 to complete 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】's evolution before wasn't because he was stingy, but because compared to 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】's power to absorb other monsters' ATK and effects, the evolved form, 【Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon】, could only negate the opponent's effect, making it not worth evolving.
Not only that, compared to 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 on Hayato's hand, whose Fusion Material requirement is merely "DARK Attribute Monster X2", 【Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon】's Fusion Material requirement is "【Predaplant】 Monster + original Level 8☆ or higher DARK Attribute Monster". With an effect that isn't significantly improved and higher Fusion Material requirements, the cost-effectiveness still belongs to 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】.
But spending DP Points to buy cards is one thing, and the System giving him a Deck is another. I, Hayato, love getting things for free the most.
However, Hayato was also a bit curious about the details of obtaining this 【Predaplant】 achievement. Putting aside the name that clearly came from William Blake, Hayato truly didn't know that his 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 was quietly engaging in predatory behavior.
The 【幻魔之門】 it absorbed when he used 【Super Polymerization】 for card printing, Anubis who possessed Orichalcos power, the Red Dad symbolizing the bond between Yugi and Joey Wheeler when he dueled them, and the 【絶望神-安提霍普】 from just now—he didn't realize it until he counted, but Hayato found that his 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 had indeed absorbed quite a few formidable existences.
As he took out 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 from his Duel Disk, Hayato also saw the spirit of 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 stretching its body on the card.
Although its appearance was ferocious, Hayato found that the 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 on the card was quite well-behaved and had no intention of leaving the card at all. The idea Hayato felt from the 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 in the card was also like this, giving the impression that she was, perhaps, an Otaku?
'The outside World is so boring. Compared to those boring matters, I still prefer to stay inside the card. Please trouble Master to feed me more delicious things, but even if there aren't any, it doesn't matter, I will offer my power to you anytime~'
That was roughly what 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 meant, and Hayato looked at the card with a slight smile: "There's no way around you. Then you can work harder next time. But don't worry about feeding you, there will be plenty of characters for you to have a feast on in the future."
"Huh? Brother-in-law, did you say something just now?" As Hayato put away 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】, Marik, who had walked closer, happened to hear Hayato's voice and asked strangely. Because 【Starving Venom Fusion Dragon】 stayed inside the card and didn't come out, even Marik didn't notice the spirit's existence within the card.
"No, nothing." Hayato replied casually, glancing at Ryo Marufuji, who was being carried on Valon's back nearby. "How is Ryo Marufuji's condition?"
Marik shrugged: "A few of us took a quick look, he seems to be doing pretty well. Although he did fall unconscious because of the Dark Game, Brother-in-law, you interfered early and he wasn't too greatly affected, so he merely fainted from the pain. He'll be fine once he wakes up."
"However, this Kid here might not be so lucky."
As he spoke, Marik glanced at Sho Marufuji next to Hayato, a playful smile filling his expression.
Just now, when Sho Marufuji was proud of his advantage, that arrogant expression of his was quite looked down upon by Marik. He had merely obtained a card with "God" in its name and some special ability. Marik himself once held two genuine "God Card"s and wasn't that arrogant.
Uh, probably not that arrogant, Right? Marik selectively forgot his performance during the Battle City period. The Rare Hunters Leader Face Art Kid Dark Marik you found, what connection does he have with me, the pure and sunny big boy Marik?
"Brother-in-law, I saw your little movement just now. You swiped that 'God of Despair' card again, Right?" Marik nudged Hayato with his elbow, his expression full of curiosity. "Quick, take it out and let me take a look. You don't want others to know that the Duel King is swiping other people's cards again, Right?"
Hayato didn't bother to correct Marik's title for him anymore and took out the card for 【God of Despair - Antihope】, saying, "I was planning to find a less crowded place later to take a closer look. If you want to see it, go ahead."
But just as Hayato raised his hand to hand the card to Marik, Marik, who reached out to take the card, paused his movement and said to Hayato, "Brother-in-law, why is this card of yours glowing?"
"Glowing?"
Hearing this, Hayato lowered his head in confusion, finding that the 【God of Despair - Antihope】 card in his hand was indeed glowing. While glowing, it actually began to tremble, and a voice rang out from within: "I thought it was someone else who got this card, but it's you again, Hayato Kobayashi!"
"This voice, it sounds so familiar." Frowning, Hayato picked up the card and examined it carefully. "I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
Not just Hayato, Marik also nodded from the side: "I think I have some impression too. I've definitely heard this voice somewhere, as sure as peeing against the wind will definitely wet your shoes."
"You didn't even remember my name?! You, Hayato Kobayashi, ONORE!" Even though Marik hadn't remembered the voice either, the voice coming from the 【God of Despair - Antihope】 card only remembered to vent its dissatisfaction at Hayato. "Remember this, I am the darkness of night, I am revenge, I am Tenma Yexing!"
"Time and again, you have escaped from the people I sent out many times, but you are merely lingering. The fishing net I have woven for you is about to close. Soon, I will complete my plan and come with absolute invincible power to kill you, who is caught in the net!"
Hayato listened to the words from the card and also frowned: "What is this nonsense? Lingering? Let me think. That guy named Camus who caused trouble on the airplane when I was on my way to Egypt, was he sent by you?"
As he spoke, Hayato walked towards Pegasus without hesitation, holding the glowing card in his hand. Although he had asked once before, now that Tenma Yexing had actually appeared, he had to ask Pegasus again about how many adopted sons he actually had.
But just as Hayato took two steps towards Pegasus, Tenma Yexing's voice rang out from the card again: "Looking for Mr. Pegasus? Heh, suit yourself. It's impossible for you to obtain any information about me from anyone else's mouth, whether it's Mr. Pegasus or my Brother, Tenma Tsukihiro."
"Enjoy the last of your life, but it will be in fear, hahaha—"
Tenma Yexing's laughter stopped abruptly. Only to see Hayato pull out the 【Millennium Rod】 and directly pierce the 【God of Despair - Antihope】 card. The radiance on the card was instantly dispelled, and the 【絶望神-安提霍普】 card itself rapidly became transparent, turning into a blank card with a rift in front of Hayato and Marik, clearly scrapped.
"Tsk, he escaped quite fast. I was thinking of intercepting a part of it to try and track him." Hayato said with some regret as he pulled out the 【Millennium Rod】, looking at Marik beside him. "I was originally planning to go back to Domino City and slowly settle accounts with the guy who's been causing us trouble recently, but he actually jumped out himself."
"Then this guy is really unlucky to be targeted by Brother-in-law. No, rather, he's seeking his own demise by actively looking for trouble with you." Marik also smiled and asked with some curiosity, "Speaking of 'Tenma Yexing', that's a person name, Right? Does he have any relationship with Pegasus? Also, isn't Tenma Tsukihiro Pegasus's adopted son? Is he too?"
"Me's adopted son? Me only adopted Tsukihiro boy as one child?" Marik's voice attracted Pegasus's attention. Walking closer, he happened to hear Marik mention his adopted son Tenma Tsukihiro, as well as another unfamiliar person name, "Tenma Yexing". "The other name, Hayato boy seemed to have asked me before, but just like my answering at that time, me still don't remember such a person."
Hayato nodded, still somewhat puzzled about how Tenma Yexing managed it. According to the information Kaiba collected from very old pictures rather than text data, when Pegasus adopted Tenma Tsukihiro back then, he did adopt Tenma Yexing as his adopted son as well. And at that time, Tenma Tsukihiro also showed a certain duelist talent.
But besides that, there was no information about Tenma Yexing on the network at all. Even Pegasus and Tenma Tsukihiro themselves didn't remember that such a person as Tenma Yexing existed. If Hayato didn't believe in Kaiba's ability, he would have suspected that the news report he found was fake.
Furthermore, Marik's saying also made Hayato feel a bit strange: "Tenma Yexing, this name, although the surname is indeed very strange, it sounds like a person name at first listen, what's so strange about it?"
"No, it's not about the name itself. It's that I think I remembered where I heard that voice before. I think Valon over there should also have an impression." Marik said, "During the KC Cup when things went wrong, when I was stalling Valon and the others, I heard the voice of that 'person', it was in the Underground Space of the Stage they broke into."
"However, it wasn't a person speaking, but a card, a glowing card just like the one just now."
—
"Hayato Kobayashi, and Mutou Yuugi, are they in Luxor now?"
In front of a lit screen, a Green-haired Man whose appearance was somewhat similar to Tenma Tsukihiro moved his line of sight away from the data stream on the screen and looked at the map displayed on another screen. On the map, at the Luxor location in Egypt, a red spot that was just flickering disappeared.
"Tsk, a fragment was destroyed? Although it was picked up for free, wasting it like this, even I would be annoyed."
He said casually, but several sharp phantoms, like the claws of some kind of creature, suddenly extended from the Green-haired Man's body, grabbing at the surroundings as if struggling to leave his body. The Green-haired Man couldn't help but reveal a troubled expression.
"You still haven't given up, 【Tragoedia】? You tempted me to eliminate Hayato Kobayashi for your revenge, but when you tried to absorb me, you were held back by 【絶望神-安提霍普】, who was attracted by my despair. Haven't you realized that your power is already a part of me?"
"Give up. I will fulfill your wish and eliminate the reincarnation of the Pharaohs who sealed you before, whether it's Mutou Yuugi, Kaiba Seto, or Hayato Kobayashi." The phantom-like claws on his body gradually retracted. The Green-haired Man turned around and looked at a device placed behind him, revealing a ferocious smile.
Around the device were placed several cards, connected to the device via cables, seemingly providing some kind of energy. On the card placed inside the device was written the name 【Tragoedia】 that the Green-haired Man had just mentioned, but the card art of a ferocious, lobster-like spirit on the card was constantly changing, occasionally even changing into the Green-haired Man's appearance.
"After I clear the path for humans to become spirits, to become 'Gods'."
