Chapter 85 Drastic Changes

"[Earthbound God - Viracocha Lasca]?" Yugi sitting in the audience frowned, looking at the raptor that appeared on the duel field, "Hayato actually summoned this monster?"

"It's such a familiar monster. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?" Jonouchi couldn't remember where he had seen [Viracocha Lasca] for a while, but Honda had a good memory.

"Idiot, it's time for Duel City. Didn't we get stopped by Gurus' people before Shizuka had the operation?" Because that was the day when Shizuka had the operation, and it was also the day when Jonouchi got the duel plate from Manjo Meshoji. Honda was deeply impressed by the [Viracocha Lasca] that Hayato summoned that day.

Not only because the incident deepened his memory, but also because it was the most "frightening" monster Honda had ever seen since he came into contact with Duel Monsters.

The [Sacrifice Demon] used by Bekas only disgusted the onlookers at best. The first impression of the [Three Illusion Gods] on the onlookers was only that of power. Only duelists who face them can fully appreciate it. The fear brought by the other party.

But [Earthbound God] is different. It is a "sense of threat" that onlookers can clearly feel, as if the duel monster has escaped the restrictions of the card and can resist the duel rules at any time and cause substantial damage.

To describe it more specifically, it is probably the feeling of a rabbit being stared at by an eagle, the kind of fear that comes from the blood.

"That monster feels so scary." Rebecca swallowed nervously, looked at Rainn Wilson who was facing the [Earthbound God], and frowned, "Obviously it's just 1 Why does a miscellaneous fish monster with little attack power and defense power give people such a feeling?"

Even Malik put down his fries and looked at the [Earthbound God] appearing on the duel field, his fingers trembling slightly.

He is also one of the duelists who has faced the [Earthbound God] directly. Rather, it seems that he is the only duelist who has faced the [Earthbound God - Viracocha Lasca] so far. Because Hayato only used this card against Gurus' people in Duel City.

Unfortunately, at that time, almost all the members of Gurus except Lishid had part of their minds remotely controlled by Malik. This allowed Malik to remotely access their thoughts and insights, and at the same time, he also suffered Many times came the pressure from [Earthbound God].

Also, the night before Duel City officially opened, Malik, who had just arrived in Doshino City at that time, specifically approached Hayato for a duel. The result was a gorgeous defeat, although the final blow was caused by [La's Winged God] Dragon], but what impressed Malik the most was indeed——

"When there is a field magic card, [Earthbound God - Viracocha Lasca] can use its effect."

Hayato pointed his finger at Rainn Wilson: "One turn at a time, skip my combat phase to unleash the most powerful power of [Viracocha Lasca]."

"Change the opponent's duelist's base point directly to 1 point!"

"Polestar obeys!"

The giant vulture, which had not come out for air for a long time, opened its mouth. It had not felt the delicious soul for a long time. When it noticed the breath of countless spectators around it, it almost happily ate without hesitation. However, it remembered that there was still someone standing behind it. Looking at the guy who freed himself from the seal, [Viracocha Lasca] had no choice but to honestly release the power that had been suppressed to the minimum.

Before adding it to the deck, Hayato warned him in advance that although he would appear in the next duel, he must be more honest when doing so and must not directly destroy the opponent's soul like the people who dealt with Gurus in the past. When sucking, you need to be able to "run over the ants without hurting them".

In other words, knock Rainn Wilson unconscious.

In the player preparation room, Daitokuji told Hayato that during this period, he noticed that something had been arranged in the Kaiba Dome. Although Daitokuji's specialization was alchemy, by analogy, he also had an interest in the magic circle. I know a little bit about things like that, and I learned that things in the venue can be used to activate a magic circle with a certain function.

And it is somewhat different from the magic circle in the conventional sense. This spell is actually controlled by some kind of computer program. It is also for this reason that Daitokuji Temple is not able to know what this magic circle is used for. Yes, but it's definitely not a good thing.

However, Daitokuji used his own method to take out part of the decoration props for research without the decorator being aware of it, and Hayato also recognized the true form of the green stone that Daitokuji was holding - wasn't it? The Three Musketeers of Doma and the others are wearing fragments of Oriha Gang!

Combined with what Tapiliang said before, Hayato has every reason to suspect that the person who set up the magic circle is Doma's people, and since they are joining forces with the Schrader Group, the premise for activating the magic circle is likely to be Chigu Lloyd. The real fake card held by his younger brother - Rainn Wilson - [The Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain].

After all, in the original plot, Chigo Lloyd used that card to activate the Trojan horse program placed in the Kaiba Group, and almost succeeded in destroying all the Kaiba Group's internal data.

As for whether the key to activating the magic circle is the [Golden Palace of Mount Rapids], Hayato has no definite evidence and is not absolutely sure. Moreover, Daitokuji said that although he could find the magic circle, he could not take out part of the layout. The item was actually his limit, and wanting to lift that formation was beyond his limit.

In that case, although it would be unfair to Rainn Wilson, Hayato had only one choice. Quickly kill Rainn Wilson in one turn, preventing him from using the [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain].

And as an eagle's cry came to his ears, Rainn Wilson felt a buzzing in his head, as if something was resonating with his trembling soul.

Ren, who was holding back, stretched out his finger and pressed the activation card button on the duel disk: "Before, before that, because the effect of the effect monster is activated, I will activate my card activation!"

"[Heavenly Punishment]! Discard a card from my hand to invalidate and destroy the effect of [Earthbound God Viracocha Lasca]!"

[Heavenly Punishment] was successfully activated. As Rainn Wilson sent a card into the cemetery, a flash of lightning flashed above the sky, and a thick thunderbolt crashed down, directly hitting the giant The body of [Earthbound God]!

However, before Ren's face showed a happy expression, he discovered that the [Earthbound God] hit by lightning was not affected at all, as if the thunder pillar just now was just a simple illusion.

"How, how is it possible?!" Renn looked at the [Heavenly Punishment] that was successfully activated on his field without being destroyed, and Hayato's backcourt where no other cards appeared at all. The opponent clearly didn't activate any countermeasures, but why did the card he activated become ineffective? "Your monster should be destroyed by [Heavenly Punishment], right?"

"Idiot, this is not a monster, but a Camida!"

"When there are magic cards on the field, [Earthbound God-Varacocha Lasca] will not be affected by the effects of the opponent's magic and trap cards!"

"Submit to this divine talent!"

The stripes on the giant vulture lit up with Hayato's voice. After a brief dizziness, Rainn Wilson's base score plummeted!

[Rayne: 4000→1LP]

A change of 3999 basic points is enough to put a certain burden on a person's body even in an ordinary duel, not to mention that what Ren is enduring at this moment is the strongest ability from the evil god-like [Earthbound God] , that kind of environment that almost tore the soul out of his body made Renn just a little bit close to passing out.

"Huh?" Hayato frowned as he looked at Rainn Wilson, who was standing on the field with his back bent and swaying, although he was barely able to fall down.

Although he used the [Earthbound God] that he originally planned to keep sealed and would not use unless he was dealing with dark duelists, Hayato had no intention of hurting anyone and asked [Viracocha Lasca] to keep his hand. I was specifically warned that it would be better to withdraw more force and fail to achieve the desired effect, or to cause substantial harm to the opponent.

After all, it was embarrassing enough for him to go to a child in order to solve the conspiracy that targeted the Kaiba Group.

But now it seems that it has indeed failed to achieve the expected purpose.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Breathing heavily, Ren's short pink-purple hair was wetted by the large amount of sweat he secreted at the moment, and fell down in front of his forehead, covering half of him. face.

The fear that only existed for a moment, but seemed to have been engraved in his memory and was always present, lingered in Ren's heart. Raising his head under the shadow of the [Earthbound God] in the sky, Ren Wei Although Ersen's voice was trembling, he still said firmly: "I will not lose like this!"

Hayato looked at Ren and glanced at his hand: "Didn't you just faint? It's amazing willpower, but it would be better if you just fainted."

Although [Earthbound God - Viracocha Lasca] only has 1 attack power, Rainn Wilson only has one basic point now, but because of the cost of activating the effect of [Earthbound God], Hayato at least There is no way to attack Rainn Wilson in this round.

However, if you want to reduce the opponent's basic points and win, fighting is not the only way.

"Activate the sustainable magic card [Psychic Ectoplast]." After activating the card in his hand, Hayato covered the last card in his hand and announced, "Cover the last card in my hand. Then my turn ends.”

"However, at the end of my turn, I can use the effect of [Psychic Ectoplasm] on my field."

[Earthbound God - Viracocha Lasca], ​​who has been out for a long time, although it can't hurt other people's souls because of Hayato's instructions, even just smelling it is quite enjoyable for it, like an old smoker. [Viracocha Lasca] was sucking in the aroma of souls emanating from countless people in the Seahorse Dome, but it was somewhat surprised to find that its own body began to dissipate.

"Only once during the end phase of each duelist's turn, both duelists can sacrifice a face-up monster on their side of the field, and inflict half the amount of damage to the sacrificed monster of the other duelist."

As Hayato spoke, he pointed at Ren's basic point of only 1 point: "In Duel Monsters, half of 1 point of attack power causes 1 point of damage. If your KC Cup ends here, it will be a loss to everything." There are benefits.”

"Dedicate yourself to the cause of justice!"

[Earthbound God - Viracocha Lasca] is like a piece of music that was discarded after draining its value. It has resistance that will not be affected by the effects of the opponent's magic and trap cards, but it is destroyed by its own magic. Ka was plotted and was sent to the cemetery with a look of reluctance.

On Hayato's field, the final utilization value of [Viracocha Lasca] was squeezed out, and a transparent giant eagle transformed by [Psychic Ectoplasm] flew toward Ryan Wilson. go.

As long as this blow hits, his base points will be completely cleared.

Facing the flying giant eagle, at this moment, Rainn Wilson would think of his goal in the duel so far.

Unlike his brother Chigo Lloyd, who only wanted to defeat Seto Kaiba, make Schreeder Group bigger and stronger, and regarded Duel Monsters as useful tools, Rainn Wilson has always regarded Duel Monsters as useful tools. They regard them as their partners. While they love Duel Monsters, they also believe that there may be real Duel Monsters living in a certain world.

And his love was reciprocated by Becas. Because of his love, the father of Duel Monsters designed a set of [Fairy Tale] decks for Rainn Wilson specifically for him, and those who longed for Duel Monsters From that moment on, Rainn Wilson had a small "ambition" in his heart - he wanted to take his partners to meet more duel monsters and see the scenery at the top.

And after watching the Duel City video and witnessing the scene where Kobayashi Hayato became the Duel King, Renn confirmed how to reach the top - he didn't need to defeat Kobayashi Hayato, as long as he fought against him, he would definitely be able to reach the top. harvested.

To reach this cemetery, he must become the KC Cup champion to qualify for a duel with Kobayashi Hayato. This is also in line with his brother's wish, and Rainn Wilson feels that he must do that.

The only basic points he had, after deducting the effect damage this time, were completely reduced to zero. For that kind of thing, Rainn Wilson’s answer was a firm refusal!

"boom!"

The phantom vulture collided with Renn Wilson. The impact that should have been full of destructive power seemed to be blocked by something when it hit Renn.

In front of Rainn Wilson, a cartoon-style tomato wearing a football helmet appeared at some point, and the phantom facing [Viracocha Lasca] also had a similar face. Perseverance, fully bearing the damage it caused to Rainn Wilson.

As the power carried by the phantom of [Earthbound God - Viracocha Lasca] disappeared, the armor on the cartoon tomato also shattered and turned into ashes. Wilson's field disappeared.

"You saved my life, buddy." After catching a card that popped out of the cemetery, Rainn Wilson showed a soft smile on his face and put the card into his trouser pocket. , he regained his perseverance, and seemed to have regained his fighting spirit due to the encouragement from the monster just now.

"The effect of [Hindering Tomato] can only be activated during the opponent's turn."

"Remove this card from my graveyard. During this round, the effect damage I receive becomes 0."

It was clear that just now his limbs were trembling due to the pressure of [Earthbound God-Viraccha Lasca], ​​but in the desperate situation, Rainn Wilson discovered his potential with a firm gaze. He looked towards Hayato.

"Although I'm not a tough person, my knowledge of Duel Monsters means I will never give up easily."

"Even if I only have one basic point left, I will fight until the end. Do you hear me, Tan Li Dou!"

[Tan Li Dou: 2000LP, 0 cards in hand]

【Gaika】【Psychic Ectoplasm】

Venue: [Heart Eye Sacrifice Hall]

Listening to Rainn Wilson's words, Hayato's expression was a little strange.

I know that the monster I just summoned is a standard villain boss template, and it does not look like a good person in terms of temperament, but I should be a positive character, right?

Why does this guy sound like I have become the villain standing opposite to the protagonist? And he is also the kind of villain in a hot-blooded series who beats the protagonist to the point of death and provides the opponent with an opportunity to cheat, and is finally killed by the protagonist with a knife?

The complaints in Hayato's heart did not come out of his mouth, and since his turn was over, he could not do anything else because it was Rainn Wilson's turn now.

The two cover cards on the field are [Dimensional Confinement] and [Explosive Armor] used to defend against attacks. If you just summon monsters and fight them, it can be regarded as double insurance. However, your basic points are only the last one. 1 point, it is simply broken porcelain that will break at the touch of a touch, and cannot bear even a little damage.

The [Psychic Ectoplasm] on the opponent's field means that as long as the opponent can summon any monster with an attack power of 0 or above in the next turn, it can clear its base points. In that case, you have to kill the opponent in this round.

Rainn Wilson's thoughts were extremely clear at this moment. He glanced at the magic card [Living Water] in his hand. This card has the special ability to attack a monster in the graveyard when there is no monster on his field. The summoning effect can be used to resurrect the [Iron Knight] you summoned in the previous round and use it to attack the opponent's duelist.

However, due to the effect of [Heart Eye Sacrifice Hall], no matter how powerful a monster you summon, the combat damage you can only cause is 1,000 points. In other words, even with the appearance of [Iron Knight], you still need to have Only by assisting another monster in attacking can the goal of ending the duel be achieved in this round.

As for the [Psychic Ectoplasm] whose effect both sides can use? That card that was never on Rainn Wilson's radar from the start, allowing him to free his own monsters for victory? Don't even think about it.

Renn took a deep breath, held his breath and tried to calm his rapid heartbeat slightly, and tried his best to concentrate.

Whether you can win this duel depends on how you draw cards in this round. As long as you can draw enough cards to change the situation of the battle, you can advance to the next round of duels, and then step by step get in front of the duel king. .

‘It is said that duel monsters have minds, I believe this very much. ’

‘Cards with hearts can respond to the duelist’s call and create the future. ’

‘Although to this day I still cannot hear the voice of the card, nor can I feel the soul in the card. ’

‘But please respond to me, my deck! ’

"My turn, draw a card!"

He moved his two fingers horizontally on the deck and pulled out the card at the top of the deck. At the same time, Rainn Wilson also heard a special voice: "Oh, these fools, idiots and idiots are like moths swarming in such a dangerous place."

"It's unlucky, it's really unlucky, the smell here is really unpleasant, but the idiot Ren can't hear me yet."

"Hey wait a minute, what are you looking at, idiot Rayne?"

In Ren's surprised eyes, on the card he had just pulled out, a strange bird with beautiful reddish-brown feathers was sitting on the card like a human being, looking around the Seahorse Dome with a look of disdain. environment, while still complaining about something.

However, when he noticed Ren looking at him, the strange bird Graver, who was dubbed the "omniscient" in "The Strange Bird", looked at Ren in surprise: "Thank you damn Damn god, stupid Wren, did you see me?"

"The card, are you talking?" Rainn Wilson looked at the phantom-like [Strange Bird Graver] on the card with a blank look on his face.

"Hey fool Ren, congratulate you for not being an annoying Christian, then surrender and run for your life," the card [Strange Bird Graver] in Ren's hand kept saying, "This is the advice given to you by Lord Graver. !”

Listening to the hallucinatory voice coming from the card, Ren was silent for a moment.

Is what I saw real?

Or was it just too much stimulation that caused him to hallucinate?

Although I had fantasized about seeing the souls in the cards of Duel Monsters countless times, I didn’t expect to see the [Monster Bird Grave]. It was like a dream.

but...

"But, I refuse!"

Raising his head and looking at Tan Li Dou across from him, Rainn Wilson did not listen to [Strange Bird Grave]'s words at all, but directly showed the card: "Ask me to surrender or something, tell me if you can do it." You just can’t do it, even if you kill me!”

"I will definitely win, use my card!"

[Strange Bird Grave] looked at Ren with a stunned look on his face, who had clearly heard him speak, but sent his card to the graveyard on his own: "You, you idiot, don't you want to !!”

"I activate the effect of [Strange Bird Grave] in my hand, discard it from my hand, and add [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain] from my deck to my hand."

"Then I activate the field magic card, [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain]!"

Rainn Wilson has thought it through quite well - as long as he activates the effect of [Strange Bird Grave] to retrieve and activate [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain] from the deck, the field magic card will become a target for him. Advantageous, the damage that monsters can cause will no longer be affected by [House of the Heart's Eye].

Moreover, [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain] also has the ability to directly special summon a monster from the deck to the field in attack position once per turn during the main phase. Just use the effect of [Living Water] to revive [Iron Knight] and then Then use [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain] to summon any other monster, and you will have a combination of monsters on your field that can defeat your opponent!

The idea was so beautiful, but at the moment when Rainn Wilson retrieved the [Golden Palace of Rapids Mountain] from the deck, he placed it in the field area of ​​the duel plate.

In the Kaiba Dome, there was a sudden power outage.
