In the ancient and fortified hall, the flickering firelight casts distorted images on the walls.
The sharp and shrill screams echoed in the hall, and dripping blood flowed down the steps. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and the powerless despair of the dying life.
A series of souls mixed in the darkness were forcibly stripped from their bodies, including men, women, children, and old people.
Those souls were devoured by a huge demon phantom and finally fell into the body of the white-haired boy who was sending the phantom.
After the ceremony, the phantom of the demon disappeared. The bodies that had lost their souls were like puppets that had lost their strings, falling powerlessly to the ground.
Minions on both sides soon came up to deal with these empty shells. The white-haired boy absorbed the nourishment, turned around and didn't look at the empty shells anymore, and just licked his lips with insatiable desire.
"Hey, although that old guy named Dartz is useless, he did leave behind a lot of good things." He chuckled softly, "The darkness bred in human hearts… really tastes good."
With the accumulation of 10,000 years, Dartz has left quite a lot of precious wealth. Even after the collapse of Doma, these things were not discovered by outsiders, but now they were fallen into Bakura's hands.
Now many people have gradually begun to realize the extraordinaryness of the card game "Duel Monsters". They have discovered that Duel Monsters contained power beyond human comprehension and could subvert many common senses and cognitions. But only a few understood its true meaning.
Duel Monsters was more than just a game. Its origins are very ancient, even older than the ancient Egyptians discovered and used this power as a ritual of battle.
If we must continue to trace back, this kind of existence even involved the origin of the world. The magic that was now sealed in cards and used in card games was actually the epitome of the corresponding world laws.
For example, after all, the common "Monster Reborn" was a forbidden magic that could bring death back to life. Although it was just a card in modern games, the spell corresponding to this card was really a forbidden spell that could reverse life and death.
During the ten thousand years, Dartz has more or less mastered some of the secret arts and obtained the abilities such as controlling the weather, teleportation, and physical possession that he showed before.
When he summoned the storm and tsunami that devoured the ship that Rafael's family was on, what he used was the spell corresponding to the powerful magic card "Heavy Storm" in the duel today.
The more powerful the card, the more difficult it was to master the magic corresponding to it. Some magics were no longer comprehensible to ordinary humans. Even Dartz, who received the oracle of Orichalcos and has a long history of 10,000 years, actually has very limited learning.
After Dartz's death, no one could understand the precious incantation records and ancient books he left behind.
…until Bakura shows up.
Being the incarnation of the great evil god Zorc, he was no ordinary person. Although only a little fragment of Zorc's soul was sealed in the Millennium Ring, and his all-powerful ability was sealed along with the memory of Pharaoh three thousand years ago, it was still no problem to learn some simple spells according to the books.
The technique that Bakura used to devour the soul just now was one of the magics he just learned from the records left by Dartz. In the contemporary duel monster card, it was the Trap Card "Altar for Tribute", which had the effect of sacrificing a monster and restoring life force equal to its original attack power value.
If someone could grasp all the power contained in all duel cards and use them for himself, then the laws of the entire world were already under his control, and both reality and time and space could be distorted at will by his ideas. This person has grasped absolute power enough to control the world in his hands, and he was almost the same as a true god.
…Of course, it was needless to say how difficult it was to achieve that step.
Dartz studied for ten thousand years, but in the end, he couldn't get a glimpse of any superior spells. But even so, with his level, it was more than enough to pretend to be a saint in front of others.
"…My lord! Amir has been defeated!" Someone came in to report.
"Hmph." Bakura heard it in his ears, but he didn't respond at all, as if he wasn't surprised at all.
"I expect nothing more from that trash." His tone of voice seemed to be referring to a piece of garbage that was discarded casually. "That idiot must have leaked all my information, right?"
The minion next to him couldn't help being stunned: "Ah? Isn't that…"
"Just as I calculated." Bakura twitched his lips and sneered, "Yuei Vu, huh? If that guy gets the information, he should immediately take the initiative to launch an attack, right?
Hey, that way he'll fall right into my trap! "
What he prepared for Yuei Vu was a relatively simple but very practical trap called "Trap Hole". In the game, it was a powerful trap that could instantly destroy a monster with an attack power of 1000 or more.
If Yuei Vu raided Doma's headquarters according to the information he obtained from Amir, he would find that there was nothing there, only a deadly trap waiting for him.
As long as he was taken by surprise, even the Duel King could be killed in one fell swoop!
"Hmph, the so-called Duel King is just a mere mortal." Bakura snorted coldly.
Unlike other BOSSes until now, he did have the capital to ridicule.
Because he was the darkness itself, the great evil god who mastered the ultimate power in the world!
…It's just that he was temporarily in a weakened state, and his strength has to be discounted by a hundred million.
But that didn't stop him from despising other people!
Bakura was indeed ready to make trouble, but before that, he had to rule out unstable factors.
Take Yuei Vu out of the picture, for example.
For him, Yuei Vu and Kaiba were a little different. Seto Kaiba was the reincarnation of a priest, and Bakura knew everything about his past life. Kaiba was obviously not interested in any supernatural things and didn't care much about the memory of the game's previous life.
The original Bakura didn't feel that Kaiba was a threat, and he even took the initiative to give Kaiba the "Millennium Eye" and invited him to join him in the century duel between himself and the Pharaoh.
But until now, Bakura still hasn't figured out what kind of background Yuei Vu had. Since Yuei Vu could control the Three Egyptian Gods, he felt that Yuei Vu must have a strong background, but he couldn't find any information about Yuei Vu in his memory or literature records.
It felt as if the Duel King had just popped out of nowhere.
There was a saying that "Nothing is scarier than the unknown". As the Great Evil God Zorc, Bakura was not afraid of the Pharaoh or priests, but now that the decisive battle was imminent and there was such a guy of unknown origin, he always felt uneasy.
He must be eliminated first! Along with his association, the Nightcrawler World!
Although Bakura didn't think that other people except Yuei Vu would be a threat, it was better to take this opportunity to settle it in one go.
Thinking of this, Bakura couldn't help showing a cruel smile.
That Yuei Vu didn't realize it at all, he had completely fallen into his own trap.
Bakura laughed loudly, raised his right hand, and clenched his five fingers into a fist.
"Yuei Vu! No matter where you came from, after today, you will be buried in darkness forever!"
Boom! ! !
With a heavy explosion, the huge door panel of the hall was blown to the ground by a huge force from the outside.
Bakura's laughter stopped abruptly. He maintained the rigid movement of raising his right fist, looked down, and saw Yuei Vu standing at the door, with the majestic Masked HERO Blast in front of him.
Yuei Vu just stood at the door, his windbreaker tumbling with the airflow caused by the gust of wind: "Did I hear someone calling my name just now?"
