Is this the poker world?Ada thief!

"Huh~huh~"

"Just as I expected." Hayato rubbed his chin with a smile on his face. "The power of [Divine Monument] is very suitable. It fits perfectly into my deck. Parawa has become stronger than before."

"It fits, it fits perfectly! Haha, hahahahaha, hahahahaha!"

Hayato laughed arrogantly, but he was a little surprised when he saw that Loput was still standing in front of him. "Huh? You lost the duel, but why didn't you die?"

"Wow, this idea is so dark. What a cruel world you live in?" Mimir complained, "Why do you have to die if you lose?"

After hearing what Mimir said, Hayato suddenly remembered that this world didn't seem to be the real world, but just a virtual world made up of data. Not to mention the distant past, the students of the Duel Academy were still in this world. It seemed that there was indeed no data such as "death". Losing a duel was just a simple loss, just like in reality, with no other impact.

"First I got the [Divine Monument] for free and then I was attacked. I almost thought I was playing a dark game." Shrugging, Hayato looked at the silent Lopt, "But I remember Mimir said, 'The victor gets the spoils', there must be such a rule. So what can you offer me, 'Lopt'?"

Hearing Hayato's words, Lopt suddenly raised his hand and lifted his hood to reveal his golden hair. He bowed solemnly and took off the mask on his face. He said to Hayato respectfully: "Through the battle just now, I clearly understand one thing, that is, you are definitely the king of destiny that I have been waiting for!"

"Whether you can unlock the seal or use its power flexibly, there is no doubt that this is proof that you are the king of destiny, but I am stupid and I didn't see this until now." With his head lowered, Lopt said humbly, "I hope you can forgive my sins and allow me to keep this body and contribute a little to your conquest of the nine realms."

  (Our own little black silk boy from Yu-Gi-Oh (sure)

“No, if I lose I just break my horn, but you’re selling yourself out?” Mimir complained, “Is it necessary to be so arrogant?”

"This is just my basic duty as the shadow beside the king." Lupte, who revealed his true form - [Shadow of the King's Battle - Lupte] said so.

But in his heart, he sneered.

"Although I was wrong at first, it turned out that such an ordinary-looking human picked up that thing, but it doesn't matter, this is also part of my plan."

'That's right. No one can resist their desire for control and the pleasure of being superior to others. Therefore, no one can resist others' humble loyalty. If you accept my loyalty, as a loyal subject, I will naturally tell the object of my loyalty how to gain more powerful power by defeating other kings in this world.'

"But when the person who holds that thing defeats the other kings one by one, my plan will also be carried out. When it reaches its final point, I will be able to reveal the end to the world!"

"And the so-called 'king' I am loyal to is nothing but a piece of crystal that looks bright but is actually empty and transparent, which I am playing with in my palm!"

Just as Lopt lowered his head and imagined that he would push the plan to the final stage, reveal the "shocking truth" to the world, and enjoy the world in his hands and deceive everything, Hayato nodded and said, "I see, I see, you found that you can't beat me, so you plan to stay by my side in a submissive manner and lead me down the path of being used by you?"

"What?!" Lopt was stunned for a moment and subconsciously raised his head. He never thought why Hayato would come up with such an idea. How did he know his thoughts? He quickly lowered his head for fear that Hayato would see through his true thoughts through his eyes. He pretended to be panicked and said, "That's not the case, my king. How could I have the idea of ​​using you?"

"There is no future in this world. Only the king of destiny can break the shackles of this world. I love this world deeply, and naturally I am full of respect and loyalty to you, the king who can save this world and become a hero." After adjusting his facial expression, Loput raised his head with a serious and solemn face, raised a palm and swore, "I, Loput, can swear on my personality and dignity."

"There is no two suns in the sky, and you are the only sun in my heart!"

"Anyway, the one who swore the oath was [Shadow of the King of War - Lopt], ​​and my real name is not Lopt."

Just as Loput was feeling proud of his acting skills, Hayato pointed at Loput and said to Mimir beside him: "Look, you are still pretending, and you are pretending very well, as if you really changed your name to 'Loput'."

"Knock-knock," Hayato looked at Loput with a playful look while imitating the action of knocking on the door. "Hello, is this Mr. Loki, the child of Mr. Farbuti and Ms. Laufey?"

  Oh my god, what?

Loput was really panicked now. Why was there someone who opened the box? Who was this person?

"The giant Farbuti, who represents lightning, and the giantess Laufey, who represents trees, combined to ignite the trees and create fire, and thus their son, Loki, was born." Mimir complained, "Originally, I was just a little suspicious. After all, you disguised yourself quite well and it was impossible to tell. I just felt that something was not right. But when that [Big Charcoal 18] came out, I almost couldn't hold it back."

"It's disguised, but not completely disguised."

Tossing the "gem fragment", Hayato said: "After all, I am a friend of the monument, and I have heard enough about the background story of the [Monument of God]. The [Monument of God's Deception] with your image on the card has made it clear that you are a liar. When it comes to the liar in Norse mythology, who else can it be except Loki?"

"As for this [Spike of the Divine Monument], isn't it the tip of the divine spear Gungnir?"

Mimir was a little surprised. "You know this too? I was thinking of telling you this later. How do you know so much?"

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network."

"Whose intelligence network knows so much? Oh no, I do know so much."

Seeing Hayato and Mimir chatting so calmly, not taking him seriously at all, Loki's eyes turned and a brilliant idea came to his mind. "I wanted to show up as an ordinary person, but since you have seen through me, I won't act anymore." Smoothing his bangs and combing the pink hair to the side, the obedience and humility on Loki's face just now disappeared without a trace, and he returned to his unruly arrogance. "That's right, Lopto is my alias. I am the great god of mischief, fire, and wisdom - Loki!"

In Norse mythology, there are different opinions about whether Loki is the god of fire. He is described as a god of fire, who can bring blessings or cause trouble, but he has never exerted any abilities related to fire. There is a lot of evidence to prove that his connection with flames is more likely because the fire giant Loki was mistakenly confused with him in the original opera "The Ring of the Nibelung".

But it doesn't matter what the myth is like specifically. What matters is that in the general public's perception, Loki, the son of the giant Fabti, who represents thunder and lightning, and the giantess Laufey, who represents trees, is the god of fire. There is also "evidence" in the poetic story "Loki's Quarrel" that Loki threatened the gods that all their property would burn, and this is enough for AI to make the judgment that "Loki is the god of fire."

Looking at the fragment of Gungnir in Hayato's hand, Loki said gloomily, "Human, you are a variable that I did not plan for. I was originally planning to find a stupid fool to take the fragment and use it for my own benefit, but you messed up everything."

"But there is still a chance to make amends. Give me the fragment of Gungnir, and I will forgive you for your offense against me as a god."

"Ah? Don't you understand the situation? Isn't it time for you, the loser, to be collected as a spoils of war by me?" Looking at Loki who had turned against Tian Gang, Hayato raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of the exit.

Loki crossed his arms over his chest and said arrogantly: "Your victory is only due to my indulgence, but even so I will still give you the spoils, which is the forgiveness from God."

"Time is running out. God's patience is limited. Don't let me lose my temper again, human!"

"So what if you get angry? At most you'll just get defeated again. If you're a powerful being, you'll have a special aura or sense of oppression when you're angry. But you just threatened him verbally? You're such a weak god." Mimir complained casually, and then he looked at Loki who was just standing there motionless. He suddenly frowned, "Huh? Something seems...not right?"

Although Hayato had taken back the [Fountain of the Divine Monument] and other cards after the duel, Mimir still stayed outside and remained materialized. Curious, he casually broke off a piece of gravel from the rock wall and threw it at Loki.

  However, Loki didn't dodge at all and just let the stone hit him. Then it went straight through as if there was nothing where Loki was?

Mimir now understood where the strange feeling came from, and quickly said to Hayato: "Oh no, this guy's illusion magic even fooled my eyes. The Loki here is just an illusion, and the real him has run away!"

"Go after it quickly and don't let your booty get away!"

Seeing that Mimir had seen through his trick, Loki's illusion laughed triumphantly: "Foolish Mimir, the fountain of wisdom you guarded is not that good, and in the end it only gave you that kind of poor eyesight? It's too late! I have flying shoes that can travel a thousand miles a day and cross mountains and rivers as if walking on flat ground. I have been outrunning for such a long time, there is no possibility for you to catch up with me!"

“Tiny human, remember this day, because you were just one step away from capturing the great Loki. But if you want to take the spoils from me? You’re still 20,000 years away. Hahahaha, hiccup, eh—?!”

While laughing, without Hayato or Mimir making any moves, Loki's illusion fell to the ground in a mess as if kicked by someone. He lay on the ground, holding his stomach and twitching. He had an expression of disbelief on his face, and he seemed to be talking to something and said, "What is this? Guwu——!"

Then, Loki's illusion suddenly shattered and disappeared?

"What's going on?" Mimir looked at Hayato in confusion, "Did you do this?"

"Actually, before I found this place, I had a feeling that someone was following me on the road. When Loki jumped out, it seemed that I realized what I felt at that time. It turned out to be correct." Hayato nodded, and walked with Mimir in the direction they came from. "If you think about it this way, the coordinates I located before were not wrong. It did teleport me to the vicinity of the NPC, but it was not you, Mimir, but Loki's side."

"Perhaps he immediately hid himself after noticing my sudden appearance."

Mimir nodded: "But what about Loki's vision just now?"

"Because I think my intuition can't be wrong, so I left a little surprise on the road. Anyway, I will take this road back later, so I can collect it while I am at it without worrying about leaving it behind. And Loki, it seems that he thought I didn't notice him when I was talking to you, so he quietly turned invisible and left an illusion to cover his escape."

Hayato had a sympathetic look on his face, "Then, he probably stepped on the little surprise I left behind."

"You call this a 'little' surprise?" Loki, who was hanging upside down, heard Hayato's words and said angrily. He glared at someone and said, "How dare you use such means to offend God? This is disrespectful!"

Around Loki, knights holding lightning swords, demons with goat horns, blue-silver evil dragons, masked puppets burning with underworld fire, and spearmen riding chariots all stood still without moving. Only a giant made of earth and stone, which was still extremely tall even though it had shrunk a lot compared to its complete form, was holding Loki up, and its arm was swinging as Alai, who was sitting on its arm, swung his staff, making Loki sway.

"Hey, Master, look what I caught! A unique material that has never been seen before!" Alai waved excitedly at Hayato, "Is this a credit to me?"

Hearing that Alai ignored him, Loki was a little angry, but when he heard that the wizard who ambushed him actually called Hayato "Master", his face changed. He looked at Hayato while hanging upside down and forced a smile: "Hey! Can we reconcile?"

"At this moment? Are you kidding?" Hayato waved his hand, "Go ahead, Alai. I allow you to use him as material for your summoning magic experiment."

"Hehe, I will never let you down, Master!" Alai wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth at Loki's frightened expression, "Hehe, I want to eat magic power~"

"Quack! Don't come over here!" (End of this chapter)
