Chapter 33: Choice
It may not be clear to both sides of the story, but here the tapir is really helpful for the game.
Although he got the God Card, the game didn't take it too seriously - as Malik had predicted, he couldn't modify all of his previous tactical builds for a certain card, which led to a layer of estrangement between him and God, and he couldn't even think of anything to rely on in a critical moment, but this time was different...... He had been cornered and had to rely on God...... No, it should be said that the power of God must be harnessed!
If I really am......
If we really ever had that relationship......
Then come back to me again and fight for me.
For the sake of my memory!
The clouds covered all the moonlight; Lightning and thunder lit up everyone's faces.
The crimson dragon poked down the huge dragon head from the clouds, and its thick, slender body was like a snake of the world, rolling in countless thunderbolts and dark clouds, swimming, and soon caught up with the dueling boat that was speeding in the night sky, and the dragon body with staggered scales slowly circled around the airship for half a circle, and finally came to the back of the game, spreading a pair of wide meat wings, and let out a long roar at the enemy standing opposite him!
There is a lot of controversy about whether this scene can be used as a turning point in the development of duels in later generations, but there is one thing that no one can erase.
That's ...... For the first time, people learned what the so-called ultimate monster should look like.
"Sky Dragon Arrives !!"
The huge body of the Sky Dragon surrounded the Duel Boat, and everyone could clearly see the details of the giant beast's body, but no one could make a sound, including Seahorse and Malik, who held the other two God Cards, and even Li Bai, who had been prepared for this...... This is not a sign of cowardice, but a fear of God.
The most basic reverence.
"It's the first time I've seen you in person, Osiris." Forcibly swallowing the suffocating sensation that hung in mid-air, the girl's eyes stared directly at the dragon, the bright crimson scale armor, the other mouth that overlapped the giant mouth, and the amethyst that grew in the middle of its head...... You can't go wrong, this is the Lord of Heaven and Hell, the god of the Nine Pillars and the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology, one of the three illusory gods in the present world, Osiris!
From this distance, it has a wingspan of nearly 200 meters, a proportional spread of at least 400 meters, and a tooth half as tall as herself...... The people on deck were like ants compared to them. The sheer size of its body is enough to overwhelm those approaching, not to mention the momentum it has exuded since its appearance, and it could not be more appropriate to describe it as unscrupulous...... Every few seconds, violent sparks of electricity erupted in the air, like human-thick thunder and lightning flowing around its body from time to time, and if a timid person admired the scene, he might even faint.
"Just kidding...... Did that rooster head defeat a deck built entirely around this monster? Skylight Flame was also so stunned that it asked the question of ignoring cause and effect, and it was clear that it could not have been more obvious that it would appear behind the game.
"That's a monster? That's a monster!? "Even if you have been greeted beforehand, you may see an 'unreasonable' scene, and the two media who were invited have not been able to maintain their composure in front of the Sky Dragon...... Or they have completely lost any composure; Considering that the mood of media people is usually proportional to the size of the news, their current crazy appearance may not be a kind of joy.
"The ...... of Osiris Sky Dragon. Becas shrunk softly in his chair, half-squinting, even through a screen, he could imagine what a heavy atmosphere the scene was.
He lied to Terros, the first time he lied: the operation of the broadcast rights certainly had an element to promote the game, but it was not the primary reason - his main purpose was to get rid of the shadow that the Three Illusions had brought to him in the first place. Bekas, the first human the Three Phantoms had seen since they had awakened from their long slumber, was the most shocking of all, and he had to force himself to overcome the shadows...... Bringing the figure of God to the screen is the first step.
"It's not just a card game...... he closed his eyes, "and live my fears." β
β¦β¦
"...... is that monster?" A certain brown-haired girl screamed and directly lifted the TV, staring at the sky dragon on the screen with an intoxicated face, muttering, "It's so beautiful......"
"Sister, what are you letting me see like this!?" The same brown-haired teenager on the side tried to regain control of the TV, "Put it down!" Saliva is pouring out! I said, why did you have so much energy when you didn't eat dinner! β
"The embodiment of the gods? Is the rumor I thought was a street gossip true? β
On the other side of the world, a teenage blonde girl stares intently at the big screen, her pupils smaller than usual indicate that she is not as calm as she seems.
"It's a shame not to be there for this historic moment, father."
"In terms of complicated feelings, no one should be able to surpass that guy." Li Bai turned his head to look at the white-haired young man standing not far from the game, with a little pity in his eyes, "The taste of being broken by force at the last moment must be very uncomfortable." β
"The offensive and defensive values of the Sky Dragon are determined by the number of cards in the hands of its controller." Seahorse let out a long breath in his heart, he finally didn't have to worry about being eliminated in the first game of the game, "The game now has four cards, and the Sky Dragon's attack power will be greater than the opponent's current LP value." β
"The one named Tapir Liang lost."
γSky Dragon of Osirisγ
ATKοΌ4000
DEFοΌ4000
Tapir Liang stared hatefully at the dragon's head, which was more and more obstructive the red on the opposite side, and even obvious bloodshot could be seen in his eyes.
4000 HP of Attack ...... His LP is 3500, and there are no monsters on the field that can take damage in his place, as long as the direct attack of the Sky Dragon is passed, he is finished.
He didn't expect the game to be able to call out this legendary dragon at such a juncture, and when he was winning, victory was only one step away from him!!
Wrong...... It's not over yet, I haven't lost yet, and Tapir suddenly remembered that he still had the two resentful spirits of Nicole Rofia and the evil spirit left on the field.
The game sacrificed all the three monsters before him in order to call out Osiris, so that the object that Nicole Rofia can possess will be 100% selected by the sky dragon, as long as the possession is successful, then even the gods will be subject to him!
"Can it be successful?" After secretly giving instructions to the two resentful spirits, Tapir Liang waited for the result with some nervousness.
"It's useless, tapir." Malik, who was hidden in his sea of consciousness, said calmly, "The possession effect of the resentful spirit below the 10-star level has no effect on the gods, and your last hope will not save you." β
He is a superficial personality named Malik Cun ZΓ i, after figuring out the ability of the wisdom wheel, he deliberately proposed to divide part of his soul, which was originally a means to prevent the game, but he didn't expect to be forced out so quickly, and it was only enough for him to stay alive, and now he only has two wisps of remnant souls, which are attached to apricots, and tapirs, but the latter's spiritual power is much stronger than the former, he can only convey consciousness, and don't think about manipulating anything.
Sure enough...... Soon two clouds of lightning burst out near the dragon's head of Osiris, and at the same time there were two terrible wails - the movements of the two resentful spirits trying to possess them and be crushed.
"Is that all you have to say?" After the last possibility disappeared, Tapir Liang simply saw it, anyway, this defeat could not have a fundamental impact on his plan, his ultimate goal was to use the king's memory tablet to gather seven artifacts, and call the dark evil god by releasing the sins absorbed when they were cast, and use the power of the dark evil god to rewrite the world order, so that it would become more suitable for people like him to "survive".
As for the others, I have to pray that they will be blessed with abundance.
"Of course not." Malik stared at the sky dragon opposite through the tapir's body, "My behavior should be regarded as a betrayal...... But who made our covenant come first, since there is a way, I have to say. His tone was a little hesitant, after all, he and the game were barely allies at the moment, "Maybe you can make the game give up the victory in hand and take the initiative to admit defeat, how, do you want to hear it?" β
"Really...... I don't see how there is a way to reverse it! Tapir Liang looked at the cards in his hand without giving up, and then, of course, he felt that the other party was teasing him, because these cards could not defeat the Sky Dragon with 4,000 attack power anyway.
Don't eat traps...... It hardly eats magic.,The monster effect below its LV is completely useless.,This desperate suppressive force.,That is.,God?
Just as he was about to taunt this unreliable partner with cold and hot feelings, he suddenly thought of a possibility that a normal person would never have considered.
Judging from this guy's previous style of acting like Yin people, could it be that he planned to ......
"Do you want me to threaten him with the host of this body?"
"You actually thought of it?" Malik's surprised tone was a little disapproving, "Yes, the original owner of your body is one of his good friends...... The attack of the gods is no longer just a mere projection that cannot be touched by the body, if you return control of the body at the moment when Osiris attacks, then the person who fully bears this power will become your host. β
"With the mortal body and spirit being hit head-on by the wrath of God, I don't need to say the result."
It is undeniable that the tapir is a little moved.
He believes that if he does threaten his personal life, the game will indeed be in a dilemma - he may lose his friend's life if he gives the order to attack, which is extremely difficult for anyone, and maybe can force him to give up the game.
However, in such a way ...... to win?
"Then I might as well go and die."
"What?"
"Even if my beliefs are contrary to all of you, I have the self-esteem of a duelist!" Tapir waved his hand fiercely, as if to drive the slightest hint of intent away from him, and he looked at his enemy, which was the game.
Uncle Ben is a man who can manipulate and play with even the darkness.
How can you be like a defeated dog in life, relying on hysteria to beg for a victory!
In that case, what qualifications do I have to try to subvert the world? What qualifications are there to go the way I am going to go!
"You ......" Malik was choked speechless, and Tapir's choice made him feel a gap in his heart, and he finally couldn't help but start to doubt his former values.
Isn't this guy's purpose to take the game's life? So the relationship between the two should be the enemy of life and death, why do they still care about the dignity of the duelist when facing the enemy of life and death?
Why, even people like him have such beliefs......
"You're in luck, game! But unfortunately, your victory this time will not change anything! With his trademark insolent smile again, Tapiri opened his arms as if he were the one who had the upper hand, "If you don't order Osiris to end this match, you must be worried about my lovely host, right?" β
"Tapir, you-" The game was naturally a little angry when the worry in his heart was broken, "Are you really going to use that despicable way to shame this game!?" β
He has been stalemate with the situation that has become clear, and he is really worried about this.
At this moment, no one felt the power of Osiris more deeply than him, and after hearing about the "divine punishment" incident that happened around the world a few years ago, how could he dare to give such a hasty attack order? Even if Tapir Liang didn't use his personality as a threat, he couldn't be completely at ease.
"Huh? What are you kidding. The white-haired boy smiled evilly, "Not only will I not do that, but I will also use my own spiritual power to protect him?" Don't rush to show that obvious disbelief on your face...... Naturally, I wouldn't be so kind to help your victory. β
"The host is very important to my future plans, so I can't risk his life to gamble with you on a game that doesn't matter to me, do you understand, Pharaoh?" The last three words were pronounced unusually light, so light that only the game and the few onlookers standing across from him could hear it, and he narrowed his eagle-like fierce eyes, unceremoniously meeting the game's fierce eyes.
Sure enough, he still made the same choice as he did at the beginning.
Li Bai was the only one who could fully hear their conversation, and the change after the atavism was not only to restore her strength, but also to a certain hidden improvement in her five senses, and after knowing that Tapir Liang decided to harden the frontal attack of the Sky Dragon, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Is it self-esteem, or is it pure disdain?
She didn't know.
But she has at least figured out one thing, and that is that any real duelist must be alone.
Maybe they show themselves in front of others to be ruthless, peaceful and even committed, but in a certain choice in their hearts, they will definitely have their own persistence.
"Hahahaha, attack! Game! Tapir laughed loudly, his slightly thin body motionless under the night wind, "Let me experience the power of the gods!" β
He is the enemy...... And more than once stood in my way.
However, there are also things to be praised.
"Remember what you said."
The game closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them violently.
"Osiris' attack!"
SuperconductiveWave !!
The crimson dragon opened the mouth at the bottom, barely having time to gather, and the moment the game shouted the order to attack, a pillar of thunder erupted at the same time, and it was a full second before the onlookers heard a loud crackling sound and an explosion in the smoke.
"If only this persistence could continue." Looking at the tapir Liang who was overwhelmed by the thick thunder light on the field, Li Bai couldn't help but rub his elbow against his lower back.
It was the location where the aquarium had been attacked, and although it had super regenerative powers, the pain of piercing the heart could not be avoided, so much so that she still had the illusion of pain when she touched it.
"Contestant No. 7 tapir has LP to zero, and contestant No. 5 Muto Game has advanced!" The master of ceremonies wiped the sweat from his forehead and announced the result of the game loudly, and then he quickly called a few white coats at the signal of the seahorse, and carried the already unconscious tapir Liang onto the cart, obviously to send it down to stabilize the situation.
The game removes the god card from the dueling board and gently rubs the smooth card surface with his thumb, still having a little fear in his heart.
"If it weren't for you, I would have really lost the game."
Because he has never had the experience of a card duel with Tapir, the game is completely ignorant of the opponent's deck construction and tactics, plus a little bit of underestimation of the enemy's psychology, it is not surprising that he is falling deeper and deeper into the multiple traps woven by Tapir, and he can win, he really has to thank fate for his favor and trust in this card at the last moment.
After taking the Sky Dragon back into the deck, he came to the cart like everyone else, intending to find out about Tapir's current physical condition, and the secret Tapir Liang's assurances that he could not be trusted, it was better to ask the doctor for peace of mind.
"There should be no problem, just a slight concussion, some lack of water and lack of sleep, and it will be fine after two days of rest." The white coat patiently explained to the others that the situation was not critical, otherwise they would not want to go anywhere if they blocked them.
While explaining, he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart: Aren't the dueling monsters and their attack effects all virtual images, why was this white-haired boy swept so far away by that pillar of light? Because if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have even had a minor concussion, which is incredible. The doctor pondered for a long time, but in the end he could only attribute it to the subconscious psychological hints given by the patient in the face of virtual images, so that he took the initiative to "cooperate" and be "washed away".
"Congratulations, game." When the other party passed by, the girl sent her congratulations, "Good start." β
"It's just luck." The game doesn't look very happy, too, he really didn't expect the first game to be so hard, and he must strengthen his sense of crisis, "Is your body okay, maybe the next game will be your game." β
The duelist who can get here, every one of them can't be weak, and the game's words are a subtle reminder to her not to make the same mistakes as herself.
"My sister won't be able to teach you yet!" Seahorse was angry that his old enemy actually ignored him, and unceremoniously began to mock, "The first game was fought so hard...... You've let me down! β
"Do you care about me, Seahorse?" The counterattack is also sharp.
"I'm just worried that Osiris will be taken away by a nameless miscellaneous fish and tainted with vulgarity!"
"......" Li Bai felt that he was used to his brother's reaction to the game, and if these two people met one day safely, it would be the end of the world.
"White!" Tianguangyan looked like he had no heart and lungs as usual, and he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, anyway, only Li Bai could hear it.
"I'm curious." She floated to the other side of the girl's body, staring curiously at the game that was getting farther and farther away.
"You say, what if that tapir really chose to threaten him with a host."
"Will he be forced to give up?"
ββββββββββββββββββ
It's 2 o'clock, and half of the thirty-four chapters are progressed, although I also want to stay up late to finish it...... But after all, tomorrow is not a good day to die.
A few weeks before leaving, my mentality changed, there was an outline and a plot, I just didn't want to write, I always felt that there were too many things that had not been done, I always felt that there were still a lot of things to say, and I was full of emotions until I was about to come out, but I was awkwardly stuck in my throat, and I was like a robot every day, and I always subconsciously ignored what I wanted to do, as if I would have an extra day to do what I should have done...... It wasn't until yesterday, when I opened all the games and programs one by one and watched the interface freeze for a few seconds and then close them all, that I told myself: I don't have time, let's write something quickly.
The 11 o'clock flight in the morning, not for tourism but for the purpose of integration is the first time to stay abroad, I thought it would not be too nervous...... I didn't expect to be nervous like this.
This time it's really a one-man journey~
In a word...... After settling down, I will use the update to report my safety, please rest assured that the party and the people will be reassured.
GoodLuckγ
