Chapter 824: The Darkness That Cannot Be Destroyed

"I am immortal!"

Seeing Zorc, who had clearly been annihilated, still revive, Hayato frowned. It wasn't that this scene was unexpected for him; Zorc had actually revived in the original plot, so Hayato had already prepared himself mentally.

But thinking about it was one thing; seeing Zorc revive was another. It meant that even though Hayato had put in so much effort, he still couldn't change the direction of the plot.

What was worse, the final plan, the "Name of the King," which could defeat Zorc, was fundamentally unworkable. Even after seeing his lost name, Dark Yugi couldn't call it out, and thus couldn't Summon **The Creator God of Light**, which could firmly suppress Great Evil God Zorc.

This was terrible.

Even so, Hayato still didn't choose to give up. He commanded, "Attack that hand, **Ra**!"

**The Winged Dragon of Ra**, transformed into its Phoenix Form, swooped towards the claw Zorc extended from the Ground, drawing everyone else's gaze to that entirely black claw.

"We still couldn't defeat that guy? He's too troublesome!" Joey Wheeler said, widening his eyes. Aknadin's expression beside him was also very bad. "It didn't really surprise me, after all, he's the Incarnation of Darkness," he added. "But if we don't defeat it before it absorbs the sun..."

"So Light and Darkness are fighting over the World, I think I understand now." Dark Yugi said, waving his hand. "Let's go too, **Slifer the Sky Dragon**, **Obelisk the Tormentor**!"

The Immortal Phoenix landed on the Earth, creating a sea of fire that once again burned Zorc's hand to ashes. But in an instant, the flames on the Ground were suddenly sucked into the rift Zorc had opened, absorbed as if caught by a Black Hole.

**The Winged Dragon of Ra** also took off urgently to avoid being affected. But Zorc took the opportunity to extend his hand again, grabbing **The Winged Dragon of Ra's** claw. Using her power to leave the Ground and ascend, getting closer and closer to the sun, everyone felt that the speed at which Darkness was covering the Earth seemed to have accelerated!

Zorc, having lost shape and being merely a mass of black, allowed **Slifer the Sky Dragon's** lightning to pass through his body, yet remained completely unharmed. At the same time, even if **Obelisk the Tormentor** grabbed his foot and ascended with him, he ignored the latter, laughing loudly. "Closer, even closer! I can feel the right position approaching me!"

"The position most suitable for me, to transform the World into Darkness!"

Reaching out towards the sun in the sky, Zorc repeatedly adjusted his position as if trying to grasp it tightly. His movement stimulated Hayato and Dark Yugi to command the Three Egyptian Gods to attack with increasing intensity.

However, flames, lightning, and giant fists clashed. Even though Zorc's body was destroyed again and again, it would always complete its self-healing the next moment. Just as he claimed, as long as humanity's Darkness wasn't destroyed, he was immortal.

Even if **The Winged Dragon of Ra** had broken free from Zorc, the pair of wings on his back weren't just for show; he was still flying towards the sky. Finally, he seemed to have found the perfect angle, raising a hand to a position that, from the perspective of the people on the Ground, looked like he could just grasp the sun.

"Those who surround me as I absorb the World with Darkness are you human Gods!" Zorc laughed loudly. His palm made a grasping motion; only to see the sun quickly covered by black spots. In just a few seconds, a solar eclipse was rapidly completed, and the entire sun was covered by Darkness. "It's the end, everything! All of you, go die!"

In the instant that Darkness covered the sun, both Hayato and Dark Yugi simultaneously felt the aura emanating from the Gods weaken!

"**Slifer the Sky Dragon**!" "**Ra**!" "**Obelisk**!"

"Oh no, in Egyptian Mythology, and even in most mythology, the sun holds a very important status," Tristan said with a panicked expression. "And the Evil God of Darkness is often an existence corresponding to the sun. Zorc absorbing the sun with Darkness means he's going to usurp the sun's position in mythology and replace it with Darkness. Everything based on the sun will be destroyed by him!"

"Darkness belongs to my hand!" As if confirming Tristan 's words, looking at the Three Egyptian Gods, who were still attacking him, but whose attack strength was much weaker than before, Zorc actually went straight at them without any defense, puffing out his chest and directly accepting the combined attack of the Three Egyptian Gods, as if saying, "Dark Power, Kid."

Not only that, the Mystical Power Zorc released when he raised his hand was also increasingly powerful. It spread out in an arc, sweeping towards the Three Egyptian Gods. "Dark Slash!"

**Obelisk the Tormentor** and **The Winged Dragon of Ra** reacted quickly, avoiding the attack immediately. But **Slifer the Sky Dragon** didn't have that luck. It was directly struck in the neck by the spreading dark magic power. What seemed like an ordinary attack actually decapitated it directly!

**Slifer the Sky Dragon** died again, how inhumane!

However, if it was just **Slifer the Sky Dragon** dying, that wouldn't be a big deal. What was fatal was that when she was decapitated, she happened to be spitting out an attack. The lightning pillar, accompanying the rolling head that had been cut off, randomly swept around. It not only carved a long gash in the distant Royal City, but also hit the completely undefended **Ra** and **Obelisk**!

Zorc was almost amused, not missing the opportunity to land another hit on the other two Gods. As Hayato and Dark Yugi were tormented by the pain that synchronized with them, the Three Egyptian Gods were completely wiped out in an instant, transformed into stone statues that crashed into the Desert.

Before, the Royal City had always been protected and hadn't suffered an attack. But the first attack it suffered was from its own side, and even the other Egyptian Gods were affected. Today, the Traitor Dragon's state was still stable.

However, in the present situation, no one had the mind to complain about this anymore. Joey Wheeler and Yugi and the others quickly took Dark Yugi, who had temporarily fallen into a state of powerlessness, and left the spot. The next moment they left, Zorc landed back on the Earth and stepped on **Slifer the Sky Dragon's** dragon head.

"See, human, your human Gods cannot be my opponent," Zorc declared. "Just like this, I can defeat them just by lifting my foot." With a heavy stomp, he crushed the dragon head. Zorc spread his arms, as if admiring his result.

Seeing Dark Yugi on the Sand Dune, carried on Yugi's back, tormented by pain because **Slifer the Sky Dragon** was completely dead, Zorc raised his hand. "No one can protect you anymore. This is the best opportunity to kill you."

"Die, Nameless Pharaoh!"

A mass of Mystical Power quickly formed in Zorc's hand and was thrown towards the undefended Dark Yugi.

At the key moment, a fierce storm suddenly swept up from the calm Sand Dune all the way to the heavens. A colossal giant reappeared in an instant, blocking Zorc's attack.

Swinging a punch to block the Mystical Power blast, the giant fist burning with flames smashed towards Zorc, leaving him astonished. Because what appeared before Zorc's eyes was none other than **Exodia**!?

Before, Zorc and **Exodia** had reached a stalemate because Zorc wasn't serious. Simon, who was controlling **Exodia**, his body state would only get worse over time, and the attack launched in haste wouldn't have much power. Under the influence of this series of factors, **Exodia's** attack should have been like a tickle to Zorc.

However, the result was that Zorc, who had just now exterminated the Three Egyptian Gods, was actually knocked back several steps by **Exodia's** wrathful punch. His strength-boosted arms were actually crushed simultaneously by this punch!

"How could this be!?" Zorc steadied his body. His arms quickly healed, and feeling like he had been slapped in the face again, he looked at **Exodia**, about to get angry. "You guy---"

However, maintaining the punching movement, **Exodia** himself stopped, freezing in place as his massive body began to scatter into flying sand everywhere.

And City Outskirts of the Royal City, Isis looked at the little old man who stood up, holding his breath, and shouted, "Lord Shimon!"

"What kind of expression is that, Isis? Protecting the Pharaoh, isn't that our duty as Priests?" Simon said with a bitter smile. He glanced at Zorc in the distance; **Exodia's** punch just now had hit him square in the chest. "Well, I guess my punch was pretty accurate..."

"Bang!"

As if venting his anger, **Exodia**, who would have disappeared on his own even if left alone, was hit in the head by Zorc's punch, causing Simon to fall.

"Lord Shimon!"

"Just a human, already at his limit of three minutes. Yet he had to burn his life force just to shine for one more second? Hmph, a boring action!" Zorc stepped over the scattering **Exodia**, pursuing Dark Yugi. "You only delayed me for one second, nothing can change the result!"

Téa glanced behind her at Zorc, who was just now lifting his foot to catch up to their party. Téa gritted her teeth and looked at Aknadin beside her. "Quickly give me a Millennium Item. You guys quickly take Yugi and leave!"

"Are you crazy, Téa! I won't abandon my friend!" Joey Wheeler said, supporting Dark Yugi to lighten Yugi's weight. He fundamentally didn't consider Téa's opinion and rejected it without hesitation. "Besides, Millennium Items aren't something just anyone can touch."

"But now The Other Yugi is our sole hope, there's no other way!" Seeing that she couldn't convince Joey Wheeler, Téa didn't say anything more. Her initiative was no worse than the other boys, and she immediately reached into the bag Aknadin was carrying and pulled out a Millennium Item. "Girls also have times when they'll fight desperately for the person they love!"

Although it sounded a bit greedy, even until now, Téa actually couldn't say whether she liked Yugi more or The Other Yugi more. But she was sure that her love was genuine. If it weren't for the repeated pressure from Rebecca, her love rival, she probably wouldn't have been able to recognize this point.

Sorry, Yugi. In Hayato's words, maybe this is sacrificing oneself for the Great Cause. Téa looked at the two Yugis who had turned around with astonished expressions, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more. She just tightly gripped the Millennium Item in her hand and raised it above her head...

Téa's finger moved, her fingernail scratching her palm, but she grasped at empty air.

"Ah, huh?"

Téa turned her head, but saw that at some unknown time, a guy who was covered in dirt and seemed to have suffered a lot of setbacks, but still had an arrogant expression, had come up beside her. As he brushed past her, he casually and forcefully pulled the Millennium Item she had grabbed out of her hand.

"Hmph, Téa Mazaki, right? This power is too wasted on a woman like you."

"Kaiba?" Because the Millennium Item in her hand was suddenly snatched away, Téa rubbed her hands, feeling somewhat helpless. Hearing what Kaiba, who was walking forward on his own, said, she got a bit angry. "Are you looking down on women? How can a man like you be so narrow-minded!"

It was also Tristan who pulled Téa back in time, preventing her from rushing up to fight Kaiba. And after Kaiba finished speaking, he didn't look at Téa and the others. He glanced at the Millennium Item he had taken from her hand. He hadn't paid attention to what Téa was holding in her hand just now, and only now did he realize: "Karim's Millennium Scale? Although it's not the Millennium Rod, I don't care."

He suddenly raised the Millennium Scale in his hand. Golden Radiance burst forth from Kaiba's hand. And Behind him, **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** suddenly ascended, spitting out a dragon breath that canceled out the attack released by the pursuing Zorc.

"Boom!"

The airflow from the explosion blew up the hem of Kaiba's trench coat. Looking at Kaiba's back, Dark Yugi, who was on Yugi's back, opened his mouth to say something. "Kaiba..."

"I don't have the mind to listen to nonsense, Yugi." With his back to Yugi, Kaiba didn't turn his head either, saying coldly, "Hayato Kobayashi said you carry the last hope. I don't have the habit of placing hope on others, but that guy Hayato Kobayashi really believes in you, so don't let him down."

"As for this guy, although I'm not interested in saving the World, I hate this guy in front even more, so it's my opponent. If you don't want to be affected by me, run far away."

"Kaiba..." Listening to Kaiba's tsundere remark, Dark Yugi was somewhat moved. "Thank you."

"Pharaoh!"

After Kaiba, Shada also arrived nearby, signaling Dark Yugi and the others to quickly retreat. During that time, Zorc had already pursued them to the vicinity, but Kaiba, relying on the power of the Millennium Scale, provided a boost to **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** and fought him off until Dark Yugi and the others retreated.

As Yugi and the others got further away, as **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** spread its wings and blocked another attack, Kaiba finally couldn't hold back either; a trace of crimson spilled from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but stumble, almost fell to the ground.

But just then, someone behind him actually reached out and supported him.

Turning around, Kaiba saw an unexpected person.

After a moment of silence, Kaiba spoke. "Was it you who gave Simon the power?"

"Hmph, you guessed it. That's right, because that old man was too troublesome, so I lent him power, wanting to kill him like that," Seto said to himself, holding a Millennium Rod in his hand. He glanced at Kaiba, asking contemptuously, "So what about you? Do you have the courage to use this dark power?"

"Heh, who do you think I am? As long as it's power, I don't care where it comes from." Kaiba gave a cold smile and looked at Zorc along with Seto. "Power, we need more power!"

"So, respond to us, **Blue-Eyes** / Kisara!"

Beside Kaiba and Seto, a phantom of **Blue-Eyes White Dragon** flew out from each of them. And between the two of them, Kisara's phantom vaguely manifested, also transformed into a White Spirit Dragon and ascended into the sky.

Radiance radiated from the Millennium Scale. The triple Light of Fusion radiated before the Great Evil God!
