"Marik Ishtar!" Watching Malik flee, Karim cursed, "Do you have any of the Tomb Keepers' glory left in you? Deserting like that is truly shameful!"
Bakura had only just appeared, not even having landed from the air yet, and one person on their side had already fled. This infuriated Karim.
But he didn't have time to bother with the fleeing Malik, because Bakura had now arrived before them, riding on **Diabound the Serpent God**.
Standing on its snake head and looking down at everyone, Bakura said arrogantly, "Heh heh, it seems the message I heard was indeed true. The **Millennium Scale** and the **Millennium Necklace**, these two **Millennium Items**, are here waiting for me to come and take them."
"Bakura Ryo?" Kaiba frowned, looking at the person who had appeared before him. Speaking of which, unlike the others who already knew of Bakura's existence, this was actually the first time Kaiba had met Bakura, who was always keen on causing trouble. "I remember you being a classmate, weren't you? You're not attending class, but appearing here instead?"
"Huh? Do you, a guy who dropped out after only one day of class, have the qualification to say that?" Although he was an ancient Egyptian from three thousand years ago, Bakura, who was essentially a game piece controlled by Bakura Ryo, could see Kaiba's existence even after Kaiba left the previous barrier. "But I'm not the Bakura Ryo you know."
"My name is Bakura, the Avenger corresponding to Yugi, the Pharaoh. Thief King Bakura!"
"Also, isn't that Hayato? I set off as soon as I got the information, I didn't expect your movements to be even faster than mine in arriving here." Looking at Hayato, Bakura's gaze focused on the **Millennium Ring**, and he said coldly, "However, the same move won't work on me. This time, don't even think about using that invisible monster to approach me again, and I won't fall for your trick again."
"Since you personally brought the **Millennium Ring** to my doorstep as well, then the **Millennium Scale**, the **Millennium Necklace**, and the **Millennium Ring**, I'll gladly accept all three of these **Millennium Items**!"
"Go, **Diabound the Serpent God**!"
After finishing his arrogant threats, Bakura completely disregarded any sense of fair play, not waiting for Hayato and the others to respond with their own threats, and commanded **Diabound the Serpent God** to attack.
A spiral blast of air struck towards everyone, but just as it was about to arrive before them, it was torn apart and shredded by a claw from the summoned **The Winged Dragon of Ra**.
"That won't do, Bakura. I'm the only one who takes things from others; don't even think about taking the **Millennium Ring** from me." Hayato stepped forward, looking at Bakura and saying, "I came here specifically to stop you. Go, **The Winged Dragon of Ra**."
With the support of the Duel Arena and the **Millennium Ring**, Hayato's burden when using **The Winged Dragon of Ra** was much smaller. Compared to before, he could unleash more of **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** power. The Sun God Bird opened its mouth, and as a return for **Diabound the Serpent God's** attack just now, a Breath of Flames was sent back by **The Winged Dragon of Ra**.
Bakura wasn't flustered at all, saying confidently, "Are you out of your mind, Hayato? I just now said that the same move doesn't work against me. You should have been clear about that before."
"Then, to deal with you, it's better to use the same move."
Bakura raised his hand with a cold smile, and **Diabound the Serpent God** also raised its arm following his movement. The forearm area lit up with the same golden mechanical patterns as on **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** body. A nearly identical column of fire flew out from **Diabound the Serpent God's** hand and collided with **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** attack.
"God Blaze Cannon!" X2
Compared to the previous battle, this time Hayato had the added boost from the **Millennium Ring** and the Duel Arena, allowing him to unleash 1000% of his original power. Yet, even so, in the beam struggle against **Diabound the Serpent God**, which had previously stolen **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** power, they merely fought to a draw.
And that was with **Diabound the Serpent God** only using one hand to attack.
"Weak, Weak, Weak! **Diabound the Serpent God** is the incarnation of resentment. After obtaining the power of all **Three Egyptian Gods**, it is the strongest monster in the world! Even without using immortality, the combat power it can unleash is above your **The Winged Dragon of Ra**!"
Hearing Bakura's words, Hayato said calmly, "It seems to be a Spirit of the same type as my **The Winged Dragon of Ra**. Although it doesn't excel in speed, it possesses extremely immense power."
"However, we're not the only ones fighting here!"
Behind Hayato, Karim and Isis had not fled. Instead, they had used the time Hayato bought to summon their Stone Tablet Monsters. Three identical monsters appeared before Karim. Bright yellow lightning coiled around their spread wings, their emerald green bodies were slender and long, and their dragon heads were filled with dignity and nobility.
The Stone Tablet Monster Karim used was none other than **Thunder Dragon**, one of the rare monsters with Hand effects from the early days of Duel Monsters!
And the three monsters that appeared on Isis's side were even more invincible: **Mudora the Priestess of the Underworld**, **Keldo the Possessed Statue**, and **Agido the Ancient Sentinel**. If the Duel Arena Isis was wearing didn't only have three slots, Hayato wouldn't have doubted that she might pull out a Kelbek as well, forming the EARTH Angel Ji Tou Si Combination that struck terror into countless Duelists.
However, compared to the EARTH Angels who colluded with Mermaids to dominate the meta, the appearance of the Stone Tablet Monsters Isis summoned were merely in their state before taking on their alternate forms. Perhaps they would need to grow and accumulate power over a thousand years before they would become the EARTH Angels that would later appear in Ishizu's hand.
And now was not the time to recall how powerful and terrifying Exchange of the Spirit Tearlaments were. Before them, there was still Bakura and his **Diabound the Serpent God** waiting to be defeated.
"Hoho, were you just stalling for time for these monsters to appear, Hayato? Muda Muda!" Bakura said arrogantly, "No matter how many ants gather, they can't kill a giant dragon. To take down these weak monsters, I don't even need a second!"
"After **The Winged Dragon of Ra**, I will use this power of destruction, the power of **Obelisk the Tormentor**!"
**Diabound the Serpent God** raised its arms after receiving Bakura's instruction. It seemed to be serious and going all out. Patterns identical to the "True Ancestor Type" **Obelisk the Tormentor** from the Memory World appeared on its body. Energy gathered in its tightly clenched fists, forming two spheres!
"Is that... Divine Fist Smash Attack?!"
How could Kaiba, who had once used the power of **Obelisk the Tormentor**, not recognize the source of the move **Diabound the Serpent God** was using before him?
