Chapter 993: No More Fear
Chapter 993: No More Fear
"Obelisk, Godhand Crush—Shockwave!"
A fierce gust of wind howled, and the domineering blue shockwave swept away the suffocating darkness in the entire area.
It was a devastating blow from the God of Destruction. In terms of sheer destructive power, even the Winged Dragon of Ra, the highest among the Celestial beings, would pale in comparison. The force of the punch was so immense that it nearly tore space apart, creating an unprecedented storm. The wind pressure surged like a tidal wave, reducing everything in its path to dust.
Even the formidable body of the Evil God was fragile in the face of this power. At the center of the storm, the force was visible to the naked eye, like a dragon emerging from the sea. The black humanoid figure created by the Evil God was caught in the vortex, emitting a heart-wrenching scream that was indistinguishable from a cry of anger or a roar.
"Ahhhhhh—"
The Evil God's voice trembled in the wind.
"Obelisk!"
"Damn you, Obelisk!"
"Why is it always you?"
"Why can't you Celestial beings just obediently accompany the Pharaoh to your deaths?"
At this moment, the Evil God truly felt fear. A fear that was absent even when they knew that Youxuan and the others were coming to their territory, and when they realized they were about to face a decisive battle.
This reminded them of their previous defeat, also at the hands of a Celestial being. Under the Pharaoh's control, they had been pummeled into a pitiful state.
People say that the Evil Gods possess an evil power that surpasses even the Celestial beings. But whether that is truly the case is difficult to say.
"Kaiba Seto, you despicable Kaiba Seto," the Evil God raged, "Is it you? Did you bring this card back to this world again?
Is this your so-called 'futurism'? Spending your days immersed in the past, chasing after things that have long since passed?"
Kaiba let out a cold laugh.
"An annoying fellow once told me that those who cannot face the past have no future. Although I disliked him, perhaps he was right.
Moreover..."
Kaiba proudly raised his arm, adorned with the Duel Disk. The Duel Disk seemed to respond to his words, suddenly emitting a blue divine glow. The light gathered behind him, transforming into the silhouette of a blue giant, standing tall with authority, its crimson eyes gazing down upon the dissipating shadow of the Evil God.
"It's not that I'm seeking them out," Kaiba declared loudly, "I was chosen! Regardless, Obelisk will ultimately return to my possession!"
Obelisk's Gigant, the Celestial being that Kaiba Seto first obtained in Duel City and the one most closely bound to him. This was why, during the battle with the Blue Guardian, when Kaiba slammed his hand on the ground to draw a card, instead of the Sky Dragon or the Winged Dragon of Ra, it was the Gigant that appeared.
Since then, Kaiba had realized that the card that returned to the Underworld with the Pharaoh was a God Card, and just a God Card at that. It was the same situation as the three Evil Gods now—the disappearance of the cards did not mean the power of the gods had ceased to exist.
Given Kaiba Seto's personality, it was inevitable that he would have ideas about resetting the Celestial beings.
However, this task was by no means easy, even for Kaiba, who possessed the world's top card engraving technology and the solid background of a reincarnated priest.
The first creation of the three Celestial beings' cards had an element of luck. At that time, it was Becass who personally crafted them, and he still possessed the power of the Millennium Eye. Moreover, according to Becass, he couldn't resist the temptation of the Celestial beings and completed the cards while under their mental influence.
In a sense, the birth of the Celestial beings' cards was their own doing.
Becass's own power and skills are important, but he is merely a medium for the Celestial Beings' manifestation in the mortal realm.
However, Kaiba's situation is different this time. The three Celestial Beings have returned to the Pharaoh's side, and while they still obey his summons, they are not as eager to be reincarnated into the mortal realm. The success of the reincarnation process relies heavily on the President's abilities, and without the Millennium Items, the task is significantly more challenging than when Becass first released them.
Fortunately, the President has always had sufficient determination and resilience in card engraving technology, and like Saiyans, the more they are challenged, the stronger they become. After years of effort, the President has finally completed the reincarnation of the Celestial cards.
Unfortunately, only Obelisk has been successfully reincarnated. Perhaps the President never possessed the other two Celestial cards, and without a strong connection, the technical difficulty was even higher.
However, Kaiba is quite satisfied with the current results. After all, he acknowledges that Obelisk is his true God, and it is the card he is most comfortable using. In the past, he went to great lengths, even organizing the Duel City, to collect all three Celestial cards, believing that possessing all three would rightfully place him at the pinnacle of Duelists. However, that ambition has since faded.
The reason he chose to recreate Obelisk is that he felt a strong connection with this card, considering it a part of his strength. As for the idea that possessing all three Celestial cards would make him invincible, that thought has long been put aside.
What difference do the three Celestial Beings make? Even the Pharaoh, with all three Celestial cards, was defeated by an ordinary boy.
The strength lies in the Duelist, not the cards. The most powerful cards are merely tools. If one can only reach the top by relying on the suppression of the Divine cards, what's the point?
At this moment, the humanoid image of the Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear has dissipated, and the cards he used have fallen to the ground.
Kaiba hesitated for a moment and then went to inspect the cards. But after searching for a while, he couldn't find the most crucial card.
Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear.
Kaiba frowned. Just then, a weak voice was heard from the air, similar to the voice of the Eternal God of Darkness Deity of Fear he had just faced.
"It's me. I lost. But it's not over, Kaiba Seto."
"You know nothing about the truth of the world. All the worlds in your world are on the brink of destruction, and the future belongs to us."
The latest, smallest, and most talked-about book is now available!
The shadow completely dissipated.
Kaiba stood up, frowning.
All the worlds...
What does that mean?
Dark Domain, the deepest part.
A dark light seemed to shoot from the edge of this domain and attach itself to the shadow in the middle, being absorbed into its body.
And in the middle, the shadow, the Divine Incarnate, slowly opened its eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be the first to falter."
The voice of the Root of Fear echoed, saying, "I was careless. That Kaiba Seto, I thought he was just one of our defeated opponents, but he has indeed become more difficult to deal with."
The Divine Incarnate said, "That shock, that aura... Was it our old friend?"
The Root of Fear said with hatred, "Not bad. It's Obelisk. That Kaiba Seto, he managed to summon the power of Obelisk once again."
The Divine Incarnate said in a low voice, "Since we have Obelisk, we must prepare for the worst. The other two may return at any time, and it wouldn't be surprising."
The Root of Fear expressed some concern, "If all three of them return..."
"No matter."
The Divine Incarnate hummed.
"The current me has nothing to fear."
