Chapter 45 The "Truth" Of the Millennium Artifact

Seeing that Gaib's basic points were reduced to zero by his own [Nephthys: Blue Phoenix God], Hayato used the [Psychic Ectoplasm], [Giant Enlargement] and [Resurrection of the Dead] in his hand. 】Three cards are put back into the deck.

Obviously he could resurrect [Celestial Dragon Knight-Gaia] and then equip [Gigantization] to double his attack power, and then change the form of [Blue Phoenix God] to defeat Gebu with the ability of defensive penetration, but in the end Hayato still Gaib's own card was deliberately used. As expected, even Hayato himself felt that there was no duelist more caring than him.

Hayato didn't even use his soul card [Psychic Ectoplasm], he was simply the most gentle person on earth (I'm sure.

As for Gebu, whose base points had been cleared, he was knocked away by the blow from [Cang Phoenix God] just now and fell to the ground. Since he is not a living person without a body, he must not feel pain, huh. I, Hayato Kobayashi, have always done things in a measured way.

Looking at Gaibu who was lying on the ground with an aggrieved expression, he didn't know whether he cared about his loss or whether he cared about losing to Hayato. Hayato, who had won, jumped up in front of Gaibu with a super arrogant attitude. He looked at the expression on the other person's face from close range and mocked:

"I've been wanting to see it since the beginning, you have this expression on your face~" Hayato almost provoked Gebu, "This expression of jealousy on me, hahahaha~"

"Although there is a saying that 'the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy', as the winner of a duel, it is usually not too much to say a few harsh words." Looking at Gaib, who was holding back his anger, Malik wiped his head. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, "Brother-in-law, he has an attitude that he has no intention of establishing a good relationship with his father."

However, with the end of the duel, it means that Hayato, on behalf of the group, has successfully passed Gebu's so-called "test" and "trial" that may be essentially just making things difficult for no reason, and can enter the secret of the tomb guard clan. Let’s go indoors to see what the so-called [Millennium Magic Book] is.

However, Hayato waved his hand to Yugi and the others, telling them to go and see it first without waiting for him.

"Mr. Geb has been picking on me during the duel just now. In return, I want to take a good look at his embarrassing appearance like a defeated dog." Hayato turned over and sat on the ground, shaking his head at the game and others. He waved his hand and said, "I have no interest in that [Millennium Magic Book]. You can just go and read it."

After Yugi and several people in the city looked at each other, since Hayato said that he was not interested in the "Thousand-Year Magic Book", it was Hayato's own freedom not to read it. Naturally, they would not force Hayato to go with him. After Bu said hello, he walked into the secret room.

As Geb ended the duel, the golden duel disk that he had temporarily "borrowed" returned to the hands of the statue on the right side of the secret room, and the statue that had previously risen from the cabinet in the center The "[Millennium Magic Book]" is still placed in its original position, seemingly waiting for those who enter the secret room to read it.

"Is that the [Thousand-Year Magic Book]?" Just looking at it from a distance, Jonouchi could feel the strange power of the open book, "Malik, Miss Isis, and Mr. Geb. One of the treasures that the Tomb Keepers have been guarding for thousands of years?"

"Just standing here and reading that book, I feel like my brain is filled with inspiration from duel monster." Bekas looked at the [Millennium Magic Book] with eager eyes. He turned his head and asked Malik, "Malik boy , now we can read the book at will, right?"

Malik rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Why do you think I, a person who was expelled from the tomb-keeper clan at the age of ten, would know the answer to the question? I don't know, well, what on earth is that book about? Things, what is recorded, what are the materials, what needs to be paid attention to, and whether there are any hidden mechanisms, etc.”

"If you are brave enough, you can touch the book with your hands. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me whether you die or the book is broken."

Hearing Malik's words, not only Becas, who was curious about the "Thousand-Year Magic Book", but Jonouchi who was standing aside and wanted to touch the golden pages to see if they were real gold, also froze. He retracted his hand decisively and chose to distance himself from the ancient book.

Risking your life to bet on whether a book is made of gold. Anyway, even if you know that the "Thousand-Year Magic Book" is really made of gold, Jonouchi will not sell the book for money. In order to satisfy the indifferent There's really no need for curiosity or anything like that.

Because Geb was still outside and hadn't come in, Yugi and the others didn't feel comfortable touching it without knowing anything about the [Thousand-Year Magic Book]. After thinking twice, Yugi stepped forward and took control of his body. Once again transferred to the hands of Yami Yugi, the nameless Pharaoh's soul walked to the steps in front of the unfolded gold box, without reaching out, just looking down at the words on the ancient book.

But with just one glance, Yugi's pupils shrank: "Is this!?"

Yugi, who had always been calm and composed, had such an obvious expression of surprise on his face, which attracted the attention of others at that time. Driven by curiosity, Kyoko, Honda, and Jonouchi also leaned over, just like Yugi. I chose to stop at the location one step away from the [Millennium Magic Book] to read the words on the book.

However, several people were a little confused when they looked at the writing in the book which was completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Since the [Millennium Magic Book] also has the title of "Millennium", as expected from the game, the text on it is also a unique ancient Egyptian priest's text. As a long-lost text, Liu who walks into the secret room at this moment Only Malik and Yu Yu could understand what was written on it.

Because the steps were quite wide, Malik and Bekas also walked to a position side by side with a few people and looked at the [Thousand-Year Magic Book]. Malik, who could also read the ancient Egyptian priest's writings, was the first to see clearly the content on it. Time, like the game, were both in a state of shock, with the same expression on their faces.

However, everyone did not wait too long. The game that exposed them to the shocking knowledge earlier was when Malik regained consciousness while interpreting the contents of the book. With a heavy and serious expression on his face, he lowered his head and looked towards The [Millennium Building Block] hung on his chest, and he murmured: "The [Millennium Artifact] could actually be like this..."

Yugi and Malik understood what was recorded in the "Thousand-Year Magic Book", but Kyoko, Honda, Jonouchi, and Bekas were all waiting for Yugi and Malik to translate for them. Curious Jonouchi, whose heart had been aroused for a long time, couldn't help but ask Yugi: "[Millennium Artifact]? Yugi, could the things recorded in this book be related to [Millennium Artifact]?"

Kyoko and Honda, who were also curious about the answer to this question, stood aside and nodded sharply, indicating that they were also curious.

"This book does contain knowledge related to the [Thousand-Year Artifact], but the knowledge above..." The game suddenly stopped at this point and did not continue, as if he was hesitating whether to tell him. The truth from the book.

"What's wrong with the knowledge above? Is it possible that the knowledge above about [Millennium Artifact] is too superficial and meaningless?" Becas couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and looked at the game with the same eagerness, asking road. Although he has lost his relationship with his [Millennium Artifact], this does not prevent Becas from being a game designer from eager to draw inspiration from the information that is close at hand.

Yugi didn't speak, but Malik recovered from the shock. When he heard Bekas's question, he replied: "No, the knowledge related to the [Millennium Artifact] in this book is not superficial at all. I expected it to go deeper, but it went a little too deep into the root.”

As he spoke, Malik turned around and looked at the two statues in the secret room, looking from the neck of the female statue where the [Millennium Jewelry] had been placed, to the empty neck of the male statue that once held the [Millennium Scepter]. Passing it in the palm of his hand, Malik couldn't help but sigh: "I understand to some extent why this book is only guarded by the patriarchs of the past generations."

“Obviously we have the mission of guarding the [Millennium Artifact], but it would be really disturbing if the tribesmen who thought they were shouldering a lofty mission knew that the [Millennium Artifact] they were guarding turned out to be such a bad object in nature. "

Yugi and Malik, who already knew the contents of the book, spoke riddles that only the two of them could understand, which left the four people around them confused.

"So, what exactly is recorded in the book, Malik, the game? At least tell us what it is first." Honda asked.

Hearing this, the game sighed and said: "The page of the [Millennium Magic Book] records the respective abilities of the [Millennium Artifact], the development directions that can be expanded, and the many things that can be brought into play when they are gathered together. Great power, and even the manufacturing method of the [Millennium Artifact]."

"Huh?! The way to make [Millennium Artifact]!?" Jonouchi was also shocked. After he figured out the meaning of it in a moment, he couldn't help but gasped and contributed to global warming, "Doesn't that mean Well, as long as you can understand the text above, haven't you and Malik mastered a lot of methods to make [Millennium Artifact]?"

Hearing Jonouchi's words, Becas's eyes lit up and he looked at Yugi with one bright eye. To be honest, who wouldn’t want a [Millennium Artifact] that can give people powerful power? Becas is not greedy either, he just wants another [Millennium Eye].

When Malik heard this, he smiled coldly: "Ah, to put it simply, let's not mention other materials required for manufacturing that only require a huge amount of money to prepare. You have to go on a massacre to get the [Millennium Artifact]. Determined?"

"Massacre? Why, I don't want to kill anyone." Jonouchi said with a frown. The next moment, his face froze and he looked at Yugi and said, "Is it, is it difficult?"

With a serious expression on his face, Yugi nodded and confirmed Jonouchi's guess: "Ah, it's just what you thought, Jonouchi."

"The manufacture of [Millennium Artifact] requires killing people in exchange, and it is not an amount of one or two. In order to make seven [Millennium Artifact], a massacre occurred three thousand years ago!"

Looking at Yami Yugi outside, Omo Yugi inside the [Millennium Building Block] murmured: 'The other me...'

And outside the secret room at this moment, Hayato looked away from Yugi and the others, Hayato turned his head and glanced at Gaib behind him, and said: "So, Mr. Gaib, how long do you have?"

Gaib, who was lying on the ground without getting up, heard Hayato's words. The angry expression on his face turned into helpless, and he said: "Tsk, when did you find out?"

"Duel rituals have important meanings as early as ancient Egypt or even earlier. It not only allows the minds of the two parties to resonate and understand each other, but it is also normal to know each other's status through this resonance." Hayato turned around and said, Looking at Geb, "Also, your body is much thinner now than when I first saw you in the house."

"If this dissipation method is normal, it would be hard for me to believe that you have been back in this world for a year, but if it is taken as a sign that you are about to leave, it becomes reasonable."

Hearing this, Geb also had a rare wry smile on his face: "That's about it. Your observation is really keen. Could it be that Isis got close to her in this way?"

"Although I don't think it's accurate, I estimate that today is the limit. Maybe I won't even have the energy to bring you back to the ground."

Geb admitted Hayato's guess that he really didn't have much time, and in fact this didn't exceed Hayato's expectations at all.

As far as he knew, Geb was not a person with superpowers, a user of the Millennium Artifact, or a new type during his lifetime. It was quite rare to be able to return to the world in such a ghostly form after death. What about gaining immortality? It's not realistic. There will eventually be a time limit for returning to the human world. It looks like it's today.

Also noticing this, Hayabusa deliberately stayed and stayed by Geb's side without leaving.

"Mr. Gaib, you have never given Malik a good look since you met him. I think it is necessary to tell you about this now," Hayato looked at the golden mist spreading around Gaib and said, " It was Malik who killed you back then..."

"The dark personality promoted by the dark power of [Thousand-Year Scepter], right?"

Gebu said it casually. Seeing that Hayato was a little surprised, he said with a smile: "I have known about this for a long time, but even if I am the clan leader, it is difficult for me to resist the clan rules on my own. I can only suffer Malik. Since childhood, I have to accept the torture of cruel clan rules, but I can't change it."

"When Malik killed me that day, I actually already knew what he was doing behind my back. After all, the shadow on the wall can't fool anyone, but maybe I have no sense of responsibility and chose to fill it in that way. I feel guilty for Malik, but that child Isis is also very smart, and used my death to connect the efforts I left during my lifetime, and took charge of everything in the clan again."

Geb looked at the back of Malik walking in the direction of the [Millennium Magic Book] in the secret room, and said with a smile: "An indifferent father who has not forgiven himself is better than a father who has forgiven himself. The former gives Malik that It’s better to feel uncomfortable than the latter.”

Standing up from the ground, Geb patted the non-existent dust on his body, but it only dispersed more golden smoke. Looking at Hayato who also stood up, he had a regretful expression on his face: "It's a pity. You guys came a little late, so I couldn't carefully observe what kind of person you are, so I can only use a duel as a test."

"Well, I've seen this a long time ago. Your tone of voice is not strict at all, Mr. Gebu." Looking at Gebu, who was becoming more and more transparent and thin in front of him, Hayato smiled and said, "Then ,How does it feel?"

"It's terrible. You were so depressed the whole time, why don't you let me have a good time? You bastard, especially when you hit me with my card at the end, it was excessive and annoying." Gabe glared at Hayato, He said angrily, but then paused, "Also, it's so obvious, you kid didn't try your best at all."

"But that's okay. That kid Isis has a much kinder personality than Malik. I'm worried that she will be bullied in the future. If it's you..." Looking at Hayato, Geb said solemnly, "Okay. Protect her, Hayato Kobayashi."

"Well, don't worry, Mr. Gaib." Hayato stretched out his fist and lightly touched Gaib's almost outlineless hand. Gabu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can't you change your name?"

"That's not possible. Isis and I are not even close to each other." Hayato looked at the completely dispersed golden mist and waved his hand, "Good night, Mr. Geb."
