**Chapter 802: A Great Man Living Between Heaven and Earth, How Can He Long Remain Beneath Others?**

"Seto? What are you doing!?"

Seeing Seto suddenly attack Hayato, Malik was the first to react, immediately wanting to rush forward and attack Seto.

He didn't know the reason Seto suddenly took action against Hayato. Having no great loyalty to the Pharaoh, he also didn't care if Seto would cause harm to Dark Yugi. But he knew this was the best opportunity to teach Seto, who had annoyed him, a lesson.

However, no matter how fast Malik moved, he couldn't be faster than **Duos**, which Seto had summoned earlier. The pitch-black swordsman holding a long sword swung his sword at the ground, leaving a gash.

If Malik hadn't been pulled back and stopped by Kaiba beside him, he might have lost his life at that moment.

"Seto, something's definitely wrong with you." Kaiba, who had felt something was slightly off with Seto since just now, looked coldly at Seto holding the **Millennium Necklace**. "Did something happen in that Thief Village?"

Because of their previous positioning, **Duos** was now blocking Seto and the injured Hayato from the others. Mana immediately used magic to bring Dark Yugi back. Dark Yugi, who hadn't anticipated this scene at all, saw Seto's pitch-black eyes when he turned around: "Seto, what exactly are you—"

"Is it the influence of the **Millennium Scale** and **Millennium Rod** from before?" Mana felt the aura on Seto's body. Although he didn't have a **Millennium Item** on him, it gave Mana a familiar feeling. She immediately connected it to the erosion Seto had suffered in the Thief Village when he couldn't let go of the two **Millennium Items** in time.

"That time?" Dark Yugi looked at the indifferent Seto, gritting his teeth in anger. "Is it you again, Bakura, playing tricks?!"

Besides Bakura taking the opportunity to control Seto then, and this attack on Hayato not being out of Seto's will but done by Bakura, Dark Yugi couldn't think of any other possibility. After all, Seto's performance before had always been loyal, and Bakura had a record of corrupting Aknadin.

However, the corner of Seto's mouth curled up. In Dark Yugi's surprised gaze, he spoke with contempt: "No, the reason I did that is because you are too weak, Pharaoh. You fundamentally lack the capacity to rule this Kingdom."

"You don't have the ability to protect this Kingdom. Since that's the case, I will. I don't think I'll do worse than you." As he spoke, Seto glanced at the **Millennium Necklace** in his hand. "Power, only power is the most important existence. I need power to bring peace to the Kingdom. So now, Hayato Kobayashi, who attempted to destroy the power of the **Millennium Necklace**, has been killed by me."

"A great man living between heaven and earth, how can he long remain beneath others?"

"And then, next is you, Pha—"

"Cough cough, I actually think I can still be saved."

Seto's words were halfway through but were interrupted. He turned his head with a surprised expression, looking at Hayato who was getting up from the ground behind him.

"You didn't die?" Seto looked at the wound he had just inflicted on Hayato. Although it was still bleeding just now, it looked like the wound had been forcibly pinched to stop the bleeding, and it also looked like it was shallower than Seto had expected.

Seto, who could see spirit existence, noticed the phantom overlapping with Hayato's body. "Did you escape death because **Psychic Ectoplasm** deflected the wound? Hmph, it would have been fine if you hadn't spoken up. Are you just eager for me to kill you again, Hayato Kobayashi?"

As Seto said, although Hayato didn't have time to react much just now, he managed to awaken **Psychic Ectoplasm**. He used its characteristic of not having a physical form to overlap with Hayato's body and timely gripped the sharp blade Seto had pierced into his body, avoiding being truly pierced through the heart.

However, even so, Hayato was still stabbed in the artery, causing blood to gush out. He had to continue letting **Psychic Ectoplasm** control the wound inside his body to stop the bleeding and suppress the injury from worsening. If he couldn't get healed in time, he would likely still be unable to save his life.

But looking at Seto, Hayato asked a question: "Before that, answer me a question, Seto. What kind of person do you think Kisara is?"

Upon hearing Kisara's name, for a moment, Hayato saw the black color in Seto's eyes fade slightly. He was stunned for an instant, but quickly the black color covered it back up, and Seto revealed a contemptuous expression: "Kisara, huh? You reminded me. That woman has powerful strength that can be used by me."

"Just a mere woman. As long as I can obtain stronger power, anyone is just a necessary sacrifice."

Hearing Seto's words, Hayato glanced at him and said, "So that's it. I think I understand."

Hayato had been a little strange for a long time. While it was known in the plot that Aknadin would become the Great Dark Priest, Hayato had always been unable to understand how Bakura managed to completely rewrite a person's thoughts so thoroughly.

Although somewhat jealous of his brother but held no resentment towards Dark Yugi, Aknadin was full of loyalty and passion for the country and was kind to people. He felt indebted for the absence of a father figure in Seto's childhood and believed that Seto, with such excellent ability, also had the qualification but could only stop at the status of a Priest because of himself. That's why Aknadin was utilized by Bakura and became the Great Dark Priest, who would stop at nothing to make Seto Pharaoh, completely abandoning his dignity and glory.

Seto, who was somewhat indifferent but still considered upright, and harbored special feelings for Kisara that he himself could hardly describe, became aware of his own powerlessness due to his previous experience. His desire for power to protect the country was amplified by Bakura, making him power-supreme like he is now, even saying things like Kisara could be sacrificed.

The common point they showed was that a certain kind of desire that originally existed within them was amplified to a degree that suppressed and distorted all other emotions. This is probably the essence of how Bakura could make them serve him through malice.

"Now, among everyone, only you, Hayato Kobayashi, can summon Stone Tablet Monsters on the Duel Arena. The others, even if they have awakened their spirit, are just powerless Small Fry. But, in your current state, what kind of spirit can you summon?" Seto looked at Hayato with contempt. "Are you going to defy me!"

"No, Seto, you are completely being controlled by Bakura right now."

Hayato sighed, but his tone changed. He pointed at Seto's hand, "Also, it's almost time. The power of the **Millennium Necklace** is about to reach its limit! I was waiting for **Limiter Removal's** power to reach its limit. What are you waiting for?"

Don't forget, Hayato had released "**Limiter Removal**" on the **Millennium Necklace**. That power allowed Hayato to successfully break through the darkness of the future, almost allowing him to glimpse the future, but unfortunately, he was interrupted by Seto. And after that power, the other power of "**Limiter Removal**" was also about to take effect.

But hearing Hayato's words, Seto gave a cold snort: "What am I waiting for? Of course, I'm waiting for this!"

Saying that, Seto pushed the glowing **Millennium Necklace** heavily in Hayato's direction. The powerful mystical power that was almost enough to burst and self-destruct the **Millennium Necklace** was suddenly released, slamming into Hayato's body!

"You guy!"

Seto took action against Hayato again, completely enraging everyone. At this moment, they could no longer care about the reason behind Seto's betrayal. They all took action in their own ways.

"Give me a hand, Mahad!" "Prince, I'll help too!"

**Dark Magician** and **Dark Magician Girl** appeared in front of Dark Yugi and Mana. Although the mystical power they had overdrawn before had not yet recovered, **Dark Magician**, with **Dark Magician Girl's** support, barely exerted his full power and charged towards **Duos**, who was blocking the way.

However, what was unexpected was that **Dark Magician**, whose power was equivalent to **Diabound**, attacked **Duos** but was no match for it, and was intercepted by Seto's Stone Tablet Monster.

An unusual dark aura emanated from **Duos's** body. Its body was completely unaffected by the magic released by **Dark Magician**. With a swing of its sword, even **Dark Magician**, who was good at melee, barely managed to block the opponent's attack with his staff.

Looking at **Duos's** crimson eyes and the imposing evil energy around its body, Dark Yugi bit his lip: "**Duos** has also been enhanced by Bakura's evil energy?"

Seeing the situation was bad, Malik, whose priority was self-preservation, had no plan to help. He took Isis and wanted to escape, but at this moment, he suddenly found that Kaiba had disappeared at some point.

And seeing **Duos** and **Dark Magician** engaged in battle, Seto said even more contemptuously: "I once regarded you as my opponent. Now it seems your power is nothing more than this, Mahad. No, now you are just a Stone Tablet Monster, **Dark Magician**."

"Power, this power is so fascinating. Let me see more!"

Saying that, Seto raised the Duel Arena in his hand. After **Duos**, he summoned another Stone Tablet Monster, **Minotaur**, planning to join the battle with **Dark Magician**. But as soon as this monster appeared, a white figure suddenly flashed past and smashed a punch into **Minotaur's** chin, blasting it away and sending it falling to the ground!

"Kaiba———Punch!"

Looking closely, it was **Kaibaman** who had appeared again!

"Heaven calls, earth calls, people call, calling me to defeat evil! I am an Ally of Justice———Kaiba-Man!"

However, **Minotaur**, who had been knocked down to the ground, got up in the blink of an eye. Similarly enhanced by dark power, its crimson eyes stared at **Kaibaman**. As if enraged, it charged out and engaged in a brawl with him, resulting in a stalemate.

Seto didn't recognize the suddenly appearing **Kaibaman**, but he frowned, annoyed: "Another troublemaker. What a trouble."

"The trouble is still to come!"

He thought two Stone Tablet Monsters were enough to deal with Dark Yugi and his group, but he didn't expect it wasn't enough. But just as Seto was planning to summon a third monster, an unexpected voice rang out behind him.

"Sound of crying!"

Accompanied by a slightly strange cry, a gale was suddenly stirred up in Hayato's location, which was surrounded by the smoke raised by the **Millennium Necklace's** attack just now. **The Winged Dragon of Ra**, still in a shrunken state, appeared in front of Hayato.

Seto took a look and subconsciously felt that Hayato had used **The Winged Dragon of Ra** to block the attack just now. He could even put up resistance in this state: "You really are struggling in your death throes, Hayato Kobayashi!"

"Heh, I can fight with you all day." Hayato's expression was as usual. "But you won't have that good luck."

"Seto, who looks the same as Kaiba!" "Take this!"

Accompanied by the roars of Joey Wheeler and Tristan , the two, nicknamed the "Campus Delinquent Fighting King," seized the opportunity and rushed behind Seto. They simultaneously swung their fists, about to give him a hard one!

"Friendship Face-Breaking Punch!"

However, although their aura was very strong, their habit of shouting and yelling while fighting allowed Seto, who had rich battle experience, to react in time and dodge their attack.

Pulling back, he glanced at **Duos**, who was entangled by the **Dark Magician** Master and Disciple, and **Minotaur**, who was fighting **Kaibaman** to a fifty-fifty. Plus, Hayato Kobayashi, who seemed safe and sound behind him, and the two aggressive guys in front of him, Seto gave a cold snort and summoned the last Stone Tablet Monster.

However, what appeared was not a monster with powerful combat power, but just a **King of Yamimakai**. And the moment it flew up, Seto grabbed its body and jumped onto it. Riding the dragon, he ascended into the air and said to Dark Yugi on the ground: "You got away with your life, Pharaoh."

"I'll let you off today, but I'll be taking the **Millennium Necklace** and this!"

Seeing the nameplate Seto took out, Dark Yugi's expression changed. He reached for his chest and found that the nameplate that had been hanging there was indeed gone.

It seems like when Seto pushed Dark Yugi away just now, he took the opportunity to take the nameplate engraved with his true name!

Watching Seto ascend and leave without hesitation, Dark Yugi's wrath had nowhere to vent. But all his combat power was blocked by the Stone Tablet Monsters Seto had left behind, so he could only watch helplessly as Seto went far away.

What's worse, the direction Seto left in was exactly the direction of the Thief Village they had just left. Could that guy be planning to—

Dark Yugi could only hope that his conjecture was wrong.

As Seto left a distance, the Stone Tablet Monsters he summoned also disappeared. Similarly, **Kaibaman**, who had appeared somehow and disappeared somehow, also disappeared. Not long after he disappeared, Kaiba ran out from somewhere again.

"That Seto guy, he actually stole the **Millennium Necklace**, and he also stole The Other Yugi's nameplate!" Joey Wheeler said with unwillingness, having failed to keep Seto. "Damn it, in that case, won't Yugi be unable to get back his memory!"

Honda was also furious: "What's worse, the **Millennium Necklace** is gone too. If Bakura gets the **Millennium Necklace** from him, Heaven knows what terrible matters will happen!"

"As bad as it gets, it shouldn't be to the point of dying." After Seto left, **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** figure became illusory and disappeared. Hayato finally couldn't help but say, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, "The one who was truly finished, was me..."

Saying that, Hayato lost even the strength to stand and suddenly fell onto the Sandy Ground. The injury on his chest also bled freely because it had lost control.
