Chapter 278 King (Anti-Shielding) Battle

"There's... not a drop left..." Loki said feebly, lying on his back and lying on the ground, as if it was completely burned out. His whole body had lost all color and was only left with white ashes.

Next to Loki, Alai lifted his pants and looked pleased.

Hayato glanced at him with disgust: "Didn't I just ask you to strip out the magic power of Loki? Why do you act like you just felt so good? You magicians are so disgusting."

"It's all because of a scumbag like you, Aleister, that Hayato-sama has so many misunderstandings about us!"

Behind Hayato, [Temple's Waterman] jumped out impatiently and clarified, "Mr. Hayato, you must be aware that we magicians are not perverts, only Aleister is like that!"

"Hmph, you talk so nicely, but when it comes to the Master, you're just an idiot, huh?"

"I'm not a machine, and I can't suppress the desire to get closer to the past after seeing such a brilliant mind." [The Waterman of the Temple] retorted, and then suddenly showed an expression of realization, "So? That's why you do the same Attracted by Hayato-sama?"

"Really? It turns out that what attracts me most about Master is his mind? I didn't realize this until now."

"Why is a magician like you so small-minded!"

"Kobayashi Hayato is the man who can become my Master. Do you have the right to say such things when you try to compete with me for him?"

"Master? Hayato-sama? Wow!"

He casually put the two of them into the card, and Hayato complained: "Two shameless guys, they all say things that only NT can understand."

"Maybe it's bound by gravity, right?" Mimir looked at [Summoner-Aleister] and [Temple's Waterman] who were locked in their respective cards, and asked, "You didn't surprise me too?" Take it back?"

"Why do you think I wanted to kick you out before?" Hayato rolled his eyes at him, "I don't need card elves who don't have the consciousness to dedicate their lives to me."

Some people may be overjoyed that Mimir sneaked into his own card and became a card spirit. However, Hayato is not cold to him at all, especially Mimir who even resists. He uses the ability to decide whether to appear or not.

To put it mildly, he may not always follow orders when he is needed to fight or provide answers. To put it more seriously, if he pretends to be dead and does not respond to him during the duel along with the cards in Hayato's deck, then the problem will be huge!

——Well, I’m not saying anything contrary. It’s true that playing cards is more important than fighting.

On the other hand, Hayato's other cards, although they often come out, are actually Hayato's deliberate indulgence. If Hayato wants to [Disturbing Yellow], the most they can do is complain in the card, and don't even think about showing up without permission, and They also all have the consciousness to dedicate everything to Hayato.

In short, loyalty is not absolute, that is, absolute disloyalty. In this case, Hayato was naturally full of resistance to Mimir's behavior of running into his deck. As soon as the duel was over, he immediately took back [The Monument of the Gods] before he could react. Quan]'s card, and did not take out the card again to give him a chance to get in again.

——And all of this has nothing to do with the fact that the [Fountain of Divine Monument] where Mimir lives is just a field magic card, not a monster card, and cannot be liberated by Hayato. Well, absolutely not.

However, Hayato's resistance was resistance, and Mimir, who was familiar with him, winked at Hayato playfully: "Don't resist so much, brother, don't tell me from afar, I helped you obtain the power of the 'Fragment of Gangnir', right?" You will need my help on your next journey."

"On this land." Mimir opened his arms and said confidently, "I know everything."

"Then tell me who Odin is?"

Hayato asked a question in an understatement, choking Mimir on what he wanted to say. He said angrily: "I have told you, I have never heard of such a name. Even someone like me who has gained astonishing wisdom like this Even wise men don’t know. I can guarantee that there is no existence on this earth that knows what ‘Odin’ you are talking about——”

"Ha, on the contrary, I know this name." At this moment, as if he was deliberately slapping Mimir in the face, Loki suddenly said, "That is the blood alliance brother who has made an oath with me. Of course I know Who is Odin?"

Although Loki, whose magic power had been drained, could not cast even a single spell at the moment, even just sitting up from the ground took a lot of energy from him. With his hands tied, he sat on the ground with a pale face and gasped: "But if you want to gain, you have to lose. How about using this answer as the trophy I owe you? Let us not owe each other."

Hayato didn't bother to negotiate terms with Loki. He was still very curious about what kind of background story the AI ​​could make up, so he asked, "Tell me about it?"

Seeing Hayato nodding, Loki immediately said without hesitation: "The world was originally in chaos until three gods killed the ancestor giant Ymir and formed the world. Among them, the heart of Ymir grew the world. The tree connects the nine worlds, and Odin is one of the three gods who created the world, representing 'wisdom', while the other two gods represent 'spirit' and 'will' respectively. "

"Then in order to bring wisdom back to the Gods, Odin stole the mead and drank it, and gained sharp eyes that could see all things. Then he exchanged his right eye for the fountain of wisdom, and learned the most profound and mysterious way to obtain it. In the world Hanging upside down in the tree, he dedicated himself to himself and found the existence of runes."

Hayato frowned, and when Loki stopped there, he said, "I've heard what you said countless times in myths, is that all?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. The next thing is the most important thing. I'm only going to tell you one person." Loki raised his tied hands and waved to Hayato to tell him to come over. Although Mimir was very curious about what they were going to whisper, he did not lean over to eavesdrop. He just looked around unhappily.

In Hayato's ear, Loki lowered his voice and said: "Actually, you are not from this world, but this world was born because of you. Don't you think the myth I just mentioned sounds familiar? Wisdom, spirit Three 'gods' with will attack a target."

"Why can you easily understand the meaning of rune words?"

"Why are you attracted to the fragments of 'Gangnir' made from the branches of the world?"

"Why can you easily control the 'Fragments of Gangnir' you just acquired?"

"There is only one answer, the human who calls himself 'Tan Lidou'!" Looking at the game ID displayed on Hayato's head, Loki's voice couldn't help but grow louder, "You are the real creator of this world. ——Ymir!”

"The Odin you are looking for? He impaled himself with 'Gangnir' and hung himself upside down on the World Tree. He dedicated himself to himself and brought rune characters to the world, but at the same time, he also removed himself from the world. Disappeared and became an existence somewhere outside the world, overlooking the entire world! And the smashing of 'Gangnir' into pieces is the best proof!"

In the real world——

"Chi——"

The game cabin was opened, and Kaiba sat up from the game cabin. He easily adapted to the gravity exerted on him by the earth again after returning to reality, but he still moved his arms somewhat impatiently: "Compared to 'Duel-Links' 'Damn the gravity!"

"Huh? Has Hayato entered the game too?" Kaiba asked, looking at the activated game cabin next to him.

The one who answered him was Keppei who turned around in his swivel chair: "About ten minutes after running, and at the same time that the students who were experiencing the game and helping us with the test set off, Hayato-nii went in, and It’s been almost ten minutes since I entered. Brother, haven’t you met Hayato-san in the game?”

sᴛᴏ𝟻𝟻.ᴄᴏᴍ

"Beyond the shackles of the body and acting only with pure thoughts and spirits, the human mind can accelerate at least ten times within a safe range. This is the deepest secret hidden in the world of 'Duel-Links', that is, the relationship between the virtual world and The difference in time flow between the real world is as high as ten times. Even if the difference is just one second, ten seconds have passed in that world.”

Kaiba walked out of the game cabin and glanced at the big screen in front of Keppei, "So even everything in the 'Duel-Links' world that can be monitored here is not real-time. At most, it can only be considered real-time." It’s just a recording of what happened.”

"Calculate the actions of Hayato Kobayashi in the past ten minutes, no, one hundred minutes, and divide them into segments every ten minutes."

As Kaiba finished speaking, and without seeing Keipei press anything, he saw that the big screen had begun to automatically shrink the other images previously displayed and put them in one corner, leaving a large space to display Hayato's images of the past hundred minutes. Action was released.

With the technology of the Kaiba Group, there is already a quite mature voice control system. Otherwise, how could the images of the dueling monsters be commanded by the duelists? The intelligent monitoring system used to monitor the "Duel-Links" world is also equipped with voice control.

And because the person who contributed the most to editing the system this time was not Kaiba but Keppei. Naturally, Keppei wrested the naming rights from Kaiba, a guy with only "Blue Eyes" in his mind, and named it after the Hall of Silver in Norse mythology. It is named after the supreme throne of God King Odin - "Hilideskelaf" who can monitor everything in the nine realms.

——Then Hayato complained that the name was too long and no one would remember it, so he might as well just call it Supreme Throne.

And as if he felt something, Hayato frowned and glanced at the empty space, complaining: "Are you monitoring the entire world Kaiba? Wait a minute, if Odin, who represents 'wisdom', is Kaiba, the game represents spirit, Then Jounouchi represents will?”

"What a refreshing article. After that guy Kaiba lost to me in a card game, he just asked the AI ​​to make up a world where I was defeated by the three of them, right?" Hayato looked at Loki again, "But how do you know so much? ?”

"Everyone has their own intelligence network, right? You don't need to know how I know it. You just need to know what I know. That's enough." Loki muttered a riddle vaguely, "Maybe you are just out of curiosity. They asked me about Odin, but one thing you will definitely be interested in is that since Odin has dedicated himself to himself, his position - the position of God King has been vacated! "

"We are now in the vacancy period of the Heavenly Throne. As long as anyone in the Nine Realms can defeat other competitors, he can justifiably ascend the supreme throne and become the King of the Nine Realms. And with your power, you can completely Do this and defeat the other nine world kings!"

"Odin is already a withered bone in the grave, and he can take his place!"

"Perhaps Judai and the others will be interested in such an epic adventure? But to be honest, I'm not very interested. You have found the wrong person to fool you." Hayato has no interest in what Loki said about ascending the throne. Compared with playing games, He still wants to find out the dangers that Darkness spoke harshly about first.

What exactly are the enemies attracted to this world? Hayato, who was thinking this way, glanced at Loki, or at least Loki who was still under the vest of [Shadow of King War - Loput].

"!"

"Judai? What's the name of the child? But listening to what you said, wouldn't it be more appropriate for me to choose him?" In Loki's view, Hayato, who he regarded as the "reincarnation of Ymir", was obviously related to the creator of the Nine Realms. Odin and other gods had a grudge against him, but he didn't expect that he had no interest in replacing Odin. He couldn't defeat him and couldn't take away the fragments of "Gangnir". It seemed that he could only find another way out to find other crusade. The candidate for the King of Nine Realms has been chosen.

But when he was thinking about how to escape and find the kid named Judai, and what he should use to replace the fragments of "Gangnir", Hayato suddenly said: "By the way, Loki, you What did you say just now?"

"Um, would it be more appropriate for me to go find Judai?"

Hayato shook his head: "That's not the case. Move forward."

"Judai, what's the child's name?"

"It's okay. Judai's name is not Camus. Please move on."

Loki glanced at Hayato suspiciously and said tentatively: "Odin is just a withered bone in a tomb, can he replace it?"

"Okay, you're right. His Kaiba's [Blue Eyes], I mean Odin's 'Gangnir' is invincible, but my sword is not at a disadvantage!" Hayato patted the fragments of "Gangnir" , and summoned back the "Novice Long Sword" that he had thrown away to who knows where, "The time has come, raise your troops today!"

"What kind of guys are the kings of the nine realms? Tell me quickly!"

Although Hayato suddenly said something strange in semi-literary Chinese that Loki couldn't understand, let alone why he suddenly changed his mind, wasn't this good? In order to save him from having to worry about the change of plan, he happily introduced it to Hayato, and even picked up a branch and drew auxiliary explanations on the ground.

"These nine realms are currently being ruled by nine beings who have claimed to be kings since Odin disappeared. They are Frey, the god of sunlight who guards the fairyland of Alfheim, but now he has changed his name to Fro Virtue;"

"The ruler of Jotunheim is Utgard Loki - I need to remind you that it has nothing to do with me, it's just the same name. It also took the initiative to remove the name 'Loki' and changed its name. For Utgard;"

"The ice-covered Niflheim is now occupied by the guy who crawled out from under the roots of the World Tree. Yes, you guessed it right, the poisonous dragon Nidhogg, even he became the king of one of the nine realms. ;"

"Muspelheim, the country of fire opposite Niflheim, was strategically placed by the fire giant Frim. That idiot became the queen and arrogantly wanted to invade Niflheim to expand its territory. She often had conflicts with Ned. Hogg fought together and even renamed himself after the underworld ship 'Najirfa' that has not yet been completed;"

"And in the middle courtyard, which is Midgard, the worldly python Jörmungandr surrounds this place where the wealth of the nine worlds gathers, and stores them in his cave;"

"Frey went to the Kingdom of Elves, and his sister Freya naturally returned to Vanaheim where the Warner Protoss is located to become the king, and also changed her name to 'Queen Mador', and the underworld Helhai at the bottom of the World Tree The king of Mu is named Hela, but now she has changed her name to 'Hell';"

"The dwarves of Svartalfheim, the dwarf country, are the most special. They successfully repelled the invasion of other countries by relying on the huge machine they forged together. That machine is the king of their world - [United King of the Dwarves] 】.

"And the last one is Asgard, where the Asa Protoss is located at the highest point in the Nine Realms. Unfortunately, because if you want to get there, you have to pass through Alfheim, which is guarded by Frey. Even I can't I don’t know who the king of Asgard was after Odin disappeared.”

Throwing away the branches, Loki looked at the picture of the World Tree on the ground and concluded, "The gods who control the power of creation, and the king who brings destruction to other countries and even his own world at will, these two contradictory sides exist at the same time. On the nine kings of the world.”

"Some people think that these nine kings should be called 'Generaider Bosses', that is, 'creator kings', but I think these nine kings are just participants in the war to compete for the position of king of the nine realms."

"The participants in this King's War, I call them [King's War]!" [Shadow of King's War - Loput] said. (End of chapter)
