Chapter 684: I Choose You!

Before, when dealing with Camus, Hayato had been concerned that using overly powerful Spirits would damage the airplane, so he had only used the relatively weaker power of the Shaddoll. But compared to the current situation, Hayato threw the concern about damaging the airplane to the back of his mind.

"I choose you!" Gripping the wall tightly with one hand to prevent himself from falling due to the sudden tilting of the ground beneath his feet, Hayato used his other hand to draw a card from his Card Box and fiercely threw it towards the nearby wall.

As the card left Hayato's hand, it instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot out. Marik, who was also holding onto a handrail to steady himself, sidestepped to avoid it. The bolt of lightning instantly traveled along the Aircraft Cabin's metal structure, reaching the outside without damaging the airplane.

Among all the Spirits Hayato possessed, although there were many powerful beings, not many possessed the ability to fly, let alone Spirits with the ability to lift the airplane while flying. The only ones qualified were the Three Egyptian Gods and the Sacred Beasts.

The Earth Spirit God and the Earthbound Immortals, although they indeed possessed great power, you could tell from the 'Earth' character at the very beginning of their names that high altitude was fundamentally not a suitable position for them to appear. Even Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca, whose prototype was a vulture, was actually shackled by the Earth and couldn't fly too high, and Grandsoil the Elemental Lord, like a certain Divine Beast that uses Sword of the Precipice, fundamentally couldn't fly at all.

Furthermore, although Raviel, Lord of Phantasms and Obelisk the Tormentor, who are human figures in appearance, seemed very suitable for holding the airplane due to having arms, if Hayato actually did that, the greater possibility would be that the airplane would be cut in half at the position where they held it.

Superman can pull off holding up an airplane because of his absurd super force field. Kaiba President said that this World of Dueling still needs to talk about science, although he's the only one who thinks so.

After comparing Uria, Lord of Searing Flames and The Winged Dragon of Ra, who would likely melt the airplane upon contact, and Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder, whose frame was so slender that Hayato suspected its claws might break upon grabbing the airplane, Hayato finally chose the most suitable Slifer the Sky Dragon.

Although Slifer the Sky Dragon had been continuously gaslighted by Hayato into thinking it was just a traitor, causing it to recently seem to doubt if it was really useless, this time, however, it did not fail Hayato's trust. At the instant the airplane was about to fall into the cloud layer below, lightning wrapped around the entire airplane, extending its body. The red long dragon, accompanied by lightning, wrapped around the entire airplane, slowing down the momentum of the fall!

"Slifer!" Inside the Front Cabin, after Yugi saw a part of the red long dragon's body wrapped around the airplane through the window, he recognized it as Slifer the Sky Dragon, one of the Three Egyptian Gods. The card for Dark Magician Girl, which he had originally planned to play to cooperate with Dark Magician's action, was also put away by him.

Just now, the violent trembling of the airplane and the sudden tilting of the ground beneath his feet also caught him off guard. Relying on not being on the ground but suspended in air, Dark Magician was fine, but Yugi and Téa both lost their footing and fell out together. Téa fortunately fell in Yugi's arms, but Yugi's head directly hit the wall, probably hurting enough to cause a bump.

However, his priority was still to ask about Téa's situation in his arms: "Are you okay, Téa?"

"Mm, I'm fine." It was also thanks to Yugi cushioning her underneath, Téa didn't suffer any injury except for being startled. "But Yugi, you hit your head just now, right? Let me see if you're injured."

"I'm fine, Téa, it was just the sound of the metal being hit that was a bit loud." Yugi, pretending to be fine, looked at the serious Téa, smiled gently, and said, "More importantly, you should get up first. You're pressing down on me a bit, and I can't breathe."

"Ah? Sorry, sorry." Hearing this, Téa quickly stood up, holding onto the handrail of the nearby seat, and also pulled Yugi up.

While pulling Yugi up, belatedly, Téa reacted: "Huh? Wait! Yugi, are you saying I'm fat?!"

"Ugh, I knew it! I ate too much high-calorie food in the American system a while ago, my weight has indeed increased again!"

Yugi felt a bit helpless upon hearing this. Should he say she's truly a young girl who cares about beauty? The airplane almost fell just now, yet now Téa was worrying about her weight just because of his comment about "can't breathe from being pressed down". Although Téa's dream is to be a Professional Dancer, so she values her stats greatly, wasn't she a bit too concerned?

But speaking of Professional Dancer, even Yugi couldn't help but look Téa's figure up and down. Although Téa said she gained weight again, places like her waist, legs, and face didn't seem to have grown any unnecessary flab. On the contrary, the two half-circles in the front and back that should have gained flesh...

'Cough cough'

Inside the Millennium Puzzle, Dark Yugi coughed, causing Yugi to withdraw his attention, feeling a bit blush, and defended himself to The Other Self: 'Uh, I was just checking if Téa was injured or anything, yeah, that's it.'

'Mm-hmm, I completely believe you, Partner.' Dark Yugi said this, but the smile in his voice was too obvious, clearly not believing Yugi's account.

What saved Yugi was the gate leading to the Rear Cabin that suddenly opened not far away. Hayato and Marik walked out from the slightly tilted Corridor. As they walked, Marik was shaking his hands, as if he had just finished washing them and was shaking off the moisture.

"Hayato, how's the situation back there? Are you guys okay?"

Hayato nodded at Yugi, glanced at a flight attendant in the corner, who was face down with their buttocks sticking up and eyes rolled back, and said, "Looks like you guys were also attacked by an assassin who infiltrated the crew?"

"Nothing happened in the Rear Cabin either. I've already dealt with that attacker, and confirmed that there's no further possibility of that guy attacking us. However, I don't know what happened to the airplane just now."

"Also?" Yugi noticed the detail Hayato mentioned. In an instant, he understood that Hayato and the others must have also been attacked by an assassin disguised as a Stewardess in the Rear Cabin. He even further associated that the suspected Vampire Clan attacker likely boarded the airplane under the identity of a Stewardess.

Hayato nodded, confirming Yugi's conjecture: "It's just as you thought. That Vampire Clan also boarded the airplane under the identity of the crew. I almost want to rant, is this airplane's crew something like S.H.I.E.L.D.? They're a bit too easy to infiltrate."

"Maybe even the Pilot was infiltrated."

Just then, Joey Wheeler also arrived here. He happened to hear Hayato's sentence, and said with a strange expression: "Uh, you actually hit the nail on the head, Hayato. That Co-pilot unaccountably attacked me and Tristan. He seemed to be an assassin too. He also killed the Pilot."

"Oh, the Pilot was killed." Hayato subconsciously nodded and repeated Joey Wheeler's words. The next moment, he suddenly raised his head. "Huh!? The Pilot was killed?"

Yugi also asked in unison with Hayato: "Then who is piloting the airplane now!?"

"Although I learned helicopter piloting in Hawaii, who the hell knows how to fly this kind of small passenger plane!" Inside the Cockpit, Tristan was sitting in the main Pilot's seat, gripping the control stick tightly with both hands. "Hurry up and find someone to help, Joey Wheeler!"

Among the numerous dashboard instruments, on the altimeter, one of the few instruments Tristan could understand after applying his helicopter piloting skill, the displayed numbers were continuously decreasing.

Although Slifer the Sky Dragon is a divine dragon with the ability of soaring through the sky, it can only maintain the airplane's balance and control the descent speed. Actually, the airplane is still continuously falling!
