Chapter 71 This Is a Substitute Attack!
At night, in a stone temple near the palace, Set met Akhnadi.
"Set, why are you here?" Standing on the altar in the center of the temple, Akhnadi turned his head to see who had broken into the temple that he had specially ordered the soldiers not to allow anyone to enter, but he found the sound of footsteps. After it was Seth who sent it, he relaxed a little and asked Seth cordially.
"I didn't find you in your dormitory. I thought I might be able to find you here in the Stone Slab Temple. When I saw soldiers guarding the entrance of the temple, I knew you must be here, Lord Akhnadi."
Seth walked up to the altar, looked at Akhnadi above, and said seriously, "Today, the pharaoh ordered me and Shada to be responsible for the security work in the royal city. Do you still remember it?"
Akhnadi put down what he was doing, turned around and faced Seth and said, "Of course I remember it. Seth, the Pharaoh's handling of this matter was not wrong. He had his own considerations. Don't judge him for this." Pharaoh is dissatisfied.”
Aknadi was very clear about Seth's temper, and was afraid that he would be angry with Pharaoh because Pharaoh did not support his idea today, so he went out of his way to persuade him.
After hearing this, Seth nodded calmly: "Please rest assured, Lord Akhnadi, I know what the Pharaoh means. It is just to ease the conflict between me and Kalim. I have stopped treating that guy a long time ago." Guy takes it to heart, what I have to say is another thing."
Looking at Aknadi, Seth took a deep breath and said what he had said to Shada during the day.
When he heard Seth say that with the power of the [Millennium Key], the hidden elven power can be discovered from the hearts of the people and used, Akhnadi's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Seth who looked calm. , asked hurriedly: "Sett, could you be taking advantage of your position to hunt elves on the people today?"
"That kind of thing is undoubtedly wrong!"
Thinking that Seth didn't discuss it with him, and after having such an idea and the convenience of his job that could put the idea into reality, he carried out the elf hunting first and then later. Aknadi looked very anxious.
"It's not fun if you stop now. If you arrest someone, let them go as soon as possible. The power of [Millennium Artifact] is the power of justice used to protect the people. It must not be used to harm innocent people. !" Akhnadi said bitterly, "Behaviors that make oneself feel guilty will leave omissions in the heart, and the fear arising from them will one day lure people into infinite hell and darkness..."
As he spoke, Akhnadi couldn't help but cover his chest.
Seeing Akhnadi's actions, Seth thought it was because he had not recovered from his own injuries. He also heard that Akhnadi did not agree with his previous thoughts. He exhaled and then said to Akhnadi Said: "No, you are worrying too much, Lord Anadi, I did not put this immature idea into action. In fact -"
To Akhnadi, Set told what happened during the day:
"In your opinion, do I just stay in a daze for about five or six seconds?"
He was obviously sure of victory and could defeat the guy who stood in his face and called himself "Pharaoh". He knew the identity of the opponent, but because he was woken up by Set, the duel was suddenly interrupted. Hayato was very unhappy.
He had felt this way twice before, the time when he was almost able to defeat everyone at the duel city with his magical power during the melee of the top four, but was interrupted by Kaiba Naia, and the earlier time in Duel Kingdom. The first duel between him and Kaiba was terminated because Keppei called for help when he was kidnapped.
Thinking about it this way, it was even more unpleasant to have the guy from Kaiba present three times. Looking at Seth in front of him, Hayato thought angrily.
Seth didn't know what Hayato was thinking just now, he just wanted to know what was going on with Hayato. This is not the first time he has seen Shada use the [Millennium Key], and it is not like he has never encountered sinners with particularly powerful monsters in their hearts before, but this is the first time he has seen Hayato in this situation.
The spirit in his heart that was supposed to be revealed with the release of the soul lock did not appear, but Hayato fell into a daze at the same time.
If the power of the [Millennium Key] hadn't really activated around him just now, and even activated the power of his [Millennium Scepter], Set would have almost suspected that this guy Xia Da didn't know any restraint, and not only did his hair fall out Not even the [Millennium Key] works anymore.
"It's almost like that, and the [Millennium Key] also uncharacteristically does not reflect the appearance of the elf in your heart." Shada didn't know that his best friend Set next to him was complaining about his poor health, looking at the [Millennium Key] in his hand. Key] said, "And it's not the same situation as the previous thief Bakula."
"If the heart of the thief Bakura is completely dark and cannot be illuminated by any light, then in contrast, Hayato Kobayashi's heart itself has a dazzling light like the sun, even with the [Millennium Key] The light cannot shine brighter, so the result is that the elves cannot be awakened."
After a pause, Xia Da seemed to be amused by his own words, "But it is impossible to even think about that kind of thing. How can a mortal body accommodate the dazzling sun? You know, even if it is far above It is only in the world after death that we, the mortal pharaohs, can become equal to the gods."
After hearing Shada's conclusion, Set completely ignored the things he didn't care about, and only noticed that the attempts made by the few of them had no results: "Huh, that means it failed in the end, even with the use of possessions and gods. Hayato Kobayashi, a spirit with similar power, can't you awaken a spirit with the power we need..."
Although Seth was a bit stubborn and difficult to dissuade, because Hayato had already analyzed the feasibility and revenue efficiency of the plan, Seth was somewhat persuaded, but he wanted him to give up using the [Millennium Key] on the people. ] plan, there is still one thing missing.
That is, Hayato, the person who raised the different opinions, can really awaken the elves as he said, and the power of the elves does not need to be too strong, but at least it must be able to penetrate Seth's eyes.
Among the knowledge received by Seth, Shada and other priests over the years, the monsters in people's hearts are born from the convergence of resentment, despair and other malice. The more evil the heart, the more powerful monsters can be born. It can be deduced from this that the more powerful the monster is in his heart, the more evil his heart is, and he is more likely to commit crimes and evil than ordinary people.
Based on this theory, although the monsters in the hearts of ordinary people will not be very powerful, as long as the power of monsters is concentrated based on huge numbers and the evil in their hosts' hearts is amplified, the power of monsters will naturally grow. Becoming stronger is like raising a poison. This cruel act can eventually take back a monster that is so powerful that it almost surpasses the power of gods.
It's just that Hayato, who comes from modern times, has a different understanding of this. The core of his theory can be said to be completely different from the knowledge of Seth and others.
The essence of the so-called "monsters" is the later "elves". Hayato recognizes that malice can give birth to elves. Although he himself failed to do it, when he was in Doma before, whether it was Rafiru or Amelda They have all created cards representing the darkness in their hearts under the power of [Oliha Gang's Barrier], which can discover the darkness in people's hearts.
However, spirits are not only born in a malicious way. The best proof that Hayato, a duelist, has witnessed more than once, is the duelists who put their trust in their cards and devote all their enthusiasm. God draws seal cards.
Even Hayato himself has printed cards more than once, such as the new vests born one after another by [Gaia]. This is one of the few card sets that Hayato does not redeem from the system, but relies on the relationship between himself and [Gaia]. The bonds are awakened (seal) little by little.
Not to mention that when Hayato jumped to Doma and dueled with Yugi and Jonouchi, the red father was born from the combination of their two bonds. A monster born with malicious intent? Malice cannot give birth to elves as strong as Hong Dad, and even malice can kill or kill you in front of Hong Dad.
It is also for this reason that Hayabusa disapproves of Seth's approach of finding elven power from innocent people and then gathering them together to cultivate powerful monsters. The main reason is not because he thinks it is inhumane or anything, but because he feels that it is too inefficient and ultimately cultivates monsters. If the monsters produced are too strong to be controlled, it will be a waste of time.
As long as Hayato can prove that he can awaken even one spirit without being catalyzed by malicious intent, Set can be persuaded by him and change his mind.
Looking at his empty palm, Hayato's heart moved as if he sensed something, and his expression became slightly weird.
"Um, Set, Sharda?" flexing his fingers, Hayato called out to the disappointed two people, attracted their attention and continued, "Although I do not seem to have the power of the [Millennium Key] I’ve been digging out elves, but I seem to have accidentally developed something incredible.”
Seth and Shada followed Hayato's movements and looked over, only to find that Hayato's fingers were indeed moving freely according to his will. However, while the five fingers and the palm were moving, the two of them could still see something. An illusory arm coincides with the position of Hayato's arm, and it repeats superposition and separation as Hayato moves.
No, it's not just the arms!
Seeing the illusory human form that stayed in place after Hayato took a step back, Set and Shada were dumbfounded and didn't know what they saw: "Is this your soul? Xiaolin Hayato, please leave your soul." Body?!"
"If the soul has left the body, who am I who is still in the body?" After complaining, Hayato's heart moved slightly, and a card was taken out from the system warehouse and fell into his hand.
The card depicts a soul floating away from the body. This card is said to be one of the several powerful cards that Hayato received from Tapira in the Duel Kingdom, and it helped Hayato several times afterwards. Well, a dozen times, dozens at most.
The name of the card is, [Psychic Ectoplasm].
Although it was just a subconscious feeling in his heart, Hayato's intuition told him that it seemed that after opening the lock of his soul through the power of the [Millennium Key], the card that awakened the spirit was the [Psychic Ectoplasm] in his hand. body】! ? !
This is so weird. Although it is true that "no matter how powerful or weak, all cards have souls and spirits living in them", but as far as Hayato knows, all the duelists who have awakened the card spirits , without exception, they are all spirits of awakened monster cards!
Even if it's that guy Ryuzaki's dinosaur egg, if nothing else goes wrong, it should be a monster card. How come when it's my turn, it's [Psychic Ectoplasm], a magic card with a sunlight effect, to awaken the spirit! ?
Subconsciously, Hayato completely forgot one thing——
Although in the eyes of most people who know, the card spirits that first appeared next to Hayato are the three brothers [Disruption Yellow], [Disruption Green] and [Disruption Black], but they know more games, Several people in the city remember very clearly that Hayato's first card to host an elf was actually a trap card [Disturbing the Trio].
"Isn't it a soul?"
After taking a look at the phantom that remained in place, which looked very similar to Hayato, Set reached out and found that he could not touch the other person at all. On the contrary, under Hayato's deliberate control, the phantom-like existence could touch him when he raised his hand. , this unilateral invincibility made Seth very excited.
"What is this?"
Hayato took back the [Psychic Ectoplasm] card, and with a serious expression on his face, he said matter-of-factly: "It seems that under the stimulation of external forces, my substitute finally awakened. Yes, this is mine. Substitute!"
Not paying attention to Hayato's nonsense at all, Shada nodded clearly: "So, is there such a form of elves? This kind of elves that cannot be touched even when attacking, is simply like saying that the host is pursuing only one goal. It’s the same double standard that allows you to kill and set fire but doesn’t allow others to disobey you.”
Hearing this, Hayato glared at Shada, but the latter didn't notice it at all and continued talking to himself: "But no matter what, such an elf is very powerful, and is better than what can be found in most ordinary people." The monster is too powerful!"
"Kobayashi Hayato's theory is correct. In this case, even if we don't use the power of the [Millennium Key] on the people, we can still gain the powerful power to protect the pharaoh and the country!"
People who have not practiced enough cannot even see the faces of elves. This is one of the important reasons why the previous pharaohs and their priests were able to drive the elves to protect the country. Therefore, although Hayato, Shada and Seth all I was amazed by Hayato's stand-in, I mean [psychic ectoplasm], but in fact, in the eyes of the soldiers and passers-by, the big man above was just crazy about the air.
However, in the market, a traveler accidentally saw the [Psychic Ectoplasm] that others could not see, and smiled with interest.
