Chapter 775: It's Come to This, Self-Destruct!
Kaiba was somewhat distracted.
Just before Hayato used Drytron Meteonis Draconids to block in front of him, for a fleeting instant, he seemed to see a phantom about to appear before him, but it quickly disappeared again.
Perhaps it was just an illusion?
"Did the Fusion Monster increase its power and survive the destruction of 'Thunder Force'?" Bakura noticed that Karim had only one Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon in front of him. This monster could be Fusion Summoned with just two Thunder Dragons, meaning the other Thunder Dragon had already been destroyed. This could also be seen from Karim's slightly pale expression. "But what does that matter!"
Exerting fierce strength, Bakura controlled Diabound, pushing the stalemated The Winged Dragon of Ra back a certain distance before raising its fist. At the position of its right hand, the destructive power originating from Obelisk the Tormentor was already charged and ready to be unleashed.
Divine Fist Smash Attack was about to come!
"Don't blink, this is the last image you'll ever see! I'll use this power to finish you all off, hehe hahahahaha!" Bakura said arrogantly, "I am the approaching storm!"
The instant Diabound threw its fist, Hayato reacted. He held the cards of two monsters from beyond the Starry Sky in his hand: Drytron Meteonis Draconids and Drytron Meteonis Dracodes. With his other hand, he grabbed the Millennium Ring on his chest: "Lend me your power, DRA-san, QUA-san!"
"It's come to this, self-destruct!"
Passing the cards through the ring of the Millennium Ring, the cards housing the two monsters in Hayato's hand immediately dispersed, and the Drytron symbol on the two occupied zones on the Duel Arena also disappeared.
However, this did not mean the power of Drytron had faded. On the contrary, because of Hayato's actions, the aura around the two Drytron that had been weakened by defending against the "Thunder Force" released by Diabound became stronger and stronger.
Then, the two monsters were engulfed by The Winged Dragon of Ra's flames, and the voice left by the Drytron as they disappeared echoed in Hayato's ears:
"Overload 1000%, power exhausted, here, contract complete..."
"In the name of starlight, I wish you always move forward, fellow with a brilliant soul..."
Although Drytron were the so-called "secret card" that Hayato obtained through the test of the Cyber Style in the Real World, it was regrettable that the Card Spirits of the Drytron that Hayato knew had not awakened in this Memory World. The Drytron that appeared in his hand from beginning to end were actually just the power he borrowed from the Starry Sky beyond in this Memory World.
On the night Bakura attacked the Royal Palace, Hayato had good luck. Under a faint call in his inner thoughts, he successfully established a link with the Cyber Dragon Constellation in the Starry Sky, causing the Light of the Cyber Dragon Constellation from Three Thousand Years Ago to descend in the stance familiar to Hayato as Drytron. However, this power was power lent to Hayato by the Drytron out of friendliness, and it had finally reached its limit. Now was the time to return it to the sky.
Of course, the naturally frugal Hayato naturally did not waste this last radiance. When the power of the Drytron bloomed to its maximum, he utilized The Winged Dragon of Ra to fully accept it, increasing its power as much as possible.
After accepting the Light of the Cyber Dragon Constellation, which was also power from a star, The Winged Dragon of Ra, which was originally a transformation of sun power, immediately converted into its Phoenix Form to adapt to the expanding power, meeting the punching Diabound.
"Boom!"
Even though Bakura had previously calculated and obtained Diabound's adaptability to the power of the Three Egyptian Gods, and even though the power of Obelisk the Tormentor used this time had been charged for a long time to fully exert itself, in front of The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix, which gathered Hayato's full power, Diabound was almost blasted away, only barely managing to hold on by using both hands in time.
But even so, the Immortal Phoenix, completely packaged in sun's fire, still pushed Diabound back rapidly without stopping!
"Persist, Diabound, show some backbone!" As a Pokémon Trainer... I mean, a Duel Spirit User, Bakura, standing on Diabound's body, shouted desperately. Seeing that Diabound couldn't even hold on using both fists and was retreating quickly, he quickly said, "The same move shouldn't have any use!"
"Are you still using your skill level from a few days ago as the standard for measurement, idiot?" Answering Bakura was Hayato, who extended his finger towards the sky, his fingertips precisely pointing at the sun visible above the Valley. "My evolution is faster than the speed of light; no one in the entire Space can match the speed of my evolution."
Watching Diabound about to collapse, Bakura bit his teeth in anger: "Stop joking!"
"If the power of Obelisk the Tormentor isn't enough, then use the power of The Winged Dragon of Ra as well! Use your 'sun' power to deal with the sun!"
"If that's still not enough, the power of Slifer the Sky Dragon too! Use it all, let me see the strength of your resentment, Diabound!"
Receiving Bakura's order, Diabound immediately drove the other two streams of power stolen from the Three Egyptian Gods within its body. Besides the headdress appearance identical to its True Ancestor, Obelisk the Tormentor, Diabound's wings behind it changed into Flame Wings similar to The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix, and its lower snake head also became a Thunder Ruler with two mouths.
In addition to the shockwave from its fists, its wings fanned up a flame storm, and its mouths spat out lightning, all joining the energy mass confronting The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix, forming an extremely luxurious version of "Spiral Wave".
"Interfering again and again, this time things absolutely won't go your way, Hayato Kobayashi!" Looking at Hayato, Bakura roared, "My obsession with the Pharaoh, the surging resentment in my heart needs to be vented! For this, I absolutely must kill you here, assemble the Millennium Items, and bring about world destruction!"
Hearing Bakura's words, Hayato also realized that the one speaking to him at this instant seemed not to be Bakura Ryo, the participant of the Dark Game, but Thief Bakura, who existed Three Thousand Years Ago.
Hayato, who had seen the other party's experience within the Millennium Ring, knew the source of his resentment. And as Bakura's emotion soared, Diabound's stance underwent a new change in addition to using the power of the Three Egyptian Gods; Markings like burns spread across Diabound's entire body.
Even after using the full power of the Three Egyptian Gods, Diabound still couldn't withstand The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix and was still retreating. After receiving Bakura's power support, it finally successfully gained the power to stalemate with The Winged Dragon of Ra - Immortal Phoenix, stopping its retreat just a few meters from the Cliff at the edge of the Valley, and even starting to push back towards Hayato!?
"Can emotion and malice bring growth to a spirit?" Hayato looked at Diabound, his furrowed brow relaxing. "It seems the outcome is decided. However, the one who wins will only be me!"
"There is only one reason for your failure, Bakura, a very simple reason—"
