Chapter 1607 Satellite SKY must be kept for me!

[Okin Mizgaruzen: 1750LP → 0]

Seeing that Okin's basic points were reduced to zero and Hayato won the duel, Kaiba said impatiently: "Humph, you're too slow, Hayato Kobayashi. Are you finally getting weaker because you've been hanging out with weaklings all day?"

Having said that, Kaiba silently saved the video he had just recorded and would analyze it in detail later. After not seeing each other for a while, Hayato had quietly taken out a new card, and it was so compatible with [Half-Dragon Maid]. The combination of "Star Dragon Maid" can be said to have brought "resource operation" to its extreme. Kaiba also knew that Hayato had performed a lot of useless redundant operations in this duel and had not brought the power of this set of cards to its extreme.

But he could understand it, after all, Okin's strength was just like that. Although [Satellite Cannon] seemed to attack fiercely, it was only a backward card from so many years ago. In today's duel environment, it was not even third-rate. It was because Okin relied on external forces to obtain a strong card-drawing ability and relied on the advantage of the number of cards to exert the power of [Satellite Cannon] beyond its own limit. However, it was still at most second-rate.

If you have to use the power of "Star Dragon Maid" to the fullest against a duelist of this level, wouldn't that be too much of a bully? Besides, Hayato probably took the initiative to slow down his movements and tell stories for a longer time.

"This, this is impossible!" After his basic points were reset to zero, Okin had an expression of disbelief, "How could I lose? How could I lose like this? Why did I lose miserably to Hayato Kobayashi? Isn't fate on my side?"

"Your so-called 'fate' is to pin everything on illusory external things to seek spiritual comfort?" Hayato looked at Okin who was kneeling on the ground with a dejected look and said, "How ridiculous."

"What do you know!" Okin looked at Hayato angrily, "The Kingdom of Mizgaruzen is sandwiched between big countries and cannot resist oppression and plunder. In the past, even with the help of the Paradis Group, it could only guarantee survival but could not protect its citizens. For the sake of the country I love, of course I must use everything I can as much as possible. What's wrong with using the power given to me by 'fate'!"

"No matter how powerful the weapons deployed on the ground are, they cannot be guaranteed to be safe under the prying eyes of neighboring countries. That's why I can only rely on the deterrence of satellites hanging high in the sky that will never be captured to protect my country!"

"Your so-called protection of the country depends on the military deterrence of laser weapons?" Jonouchi said dissatisfiedly after hearing what Okin said. "Although it sounds like you have some unavoidable intention, your actions are completely different. You are clearly using force to oppress and seize power in the country, and you are also using laser satellites to stir up trouble and compete for interests internationally."

"Perhaps this is also due to the influence of the so-called 'Light of Destruction'?" Although she didn't quite understand what the "Light of Destruction" was, Kitamori Reiko still understood the general situation from what she had just heard from Hayato and the others.

Peacock Dance couldn't help but think of the "Doma" organization she encountered many years ago, and complained: "I feel that this kind of thing that helps people gain special powers, such as the 'Orichalcum Fragment' and the 'Light of Destruction', has a bit of brainwashing in it."

"If it's something like the 'Orichalcum Fragment', at least there are cases where people have voluntarily gotten rid of its influence, but as for this 'Light of Destruction', no one has completely escaped its influence so far." Hayato paused and suddenly looked into the forest. "Now that you've finished reading it, you should get out, right?"

"Huh? Teacher Hayato actually discovered us?!" Holding two branches next to his head, Judai poked his head out in surprise, "As expected of Teacher Hayato, he actually saw through my perfect disguise!"

"No, it's just that the [Winged Kurikoku] next to you exposed you." He pointed to the [Winged Kurikoku] next to Judai. Because it was a card Pokémon, it didn't hide in the bushes like Judai, but stood on Judai's head. Just now, Hayato saw her wings emerging from the bushes and found Judai there. "Kuroko, your chicken feet are exposed."

"If you have to say it, it should be chicken wings, right? Why chicken feet?" John, who was standing next to Judai, put down the branch he was holding and asked.

Seeing John's appearance, Hayato was a little surprised: "Huh? John Anderson? Why are you here?"

"Oh, now I remember. You are here as a representative of the Northern Branch School to participate in the 'Second World Martial Arts Tournament' held by the headquarters, right?"

"Hey, although Principal Ichinose really wanted me to redeem the school and get a good ranking, unfortunately, I was eliminated not long after the competition started." John smiled awkwardly and glanced at Judai next to him, "However, I did enjoy a very interesting duel before I was eliminated."

"I also enjoy dueling with you, John."

Seeing Judai and John appear together, Hayato understood how John was eliminated: "That's a pity indeed, but did you try your best?"

John nodded. "Well, I tried my best. But I'm not planning to leave the headquarters so soon, because Principal Ichinose has entrusted me with a very important matter."

As he spoke, John turned his gaze towards Tachibana Ikkaku, who had just been one of the spectators standing with Jonouchi and the others. "No matter what the reason, stealing the sealed card of the Northern Branch is not a good thing, Takibara-san (Tachibana-senpai)."

"Well, I'm also reflecting deeply on this point. Because of a momentary thought, I didn't believe in my own deck and instead sought external forces." Tachibana Ikkaku naturally recognized John, the new legend in the school. Although he was a sophomore, he had a stronger dueling ability than that Edogawa Yuri. He did not compete for the title and dominance of the strongest in the school, but he was the undisputed strongest in the school, the "uncrowned king" of the Northern Branch, John Anderson.

"Eh? I thought you would refuse to hand over the card of the God of Death, Takibara-san. Hmm, I guessed it. I guess you also had a very interesting duel at the headquarters, Takibara-san?" John looked at Ikkaku Tachibana with some surprise, and after thinking for a while, he used his amazing intuition, the same as Judai, to guess the answer almost exactly, "Wow, it's a pity that I didn't get to see that duel."

"But it does save us some trouble. We don't know when the 'Death God' card appeared on campus. Because of its dangerousness, the school sealed it up to prevent anyone from getting hurt by it. I hope you can figure it out, Takibara-san. You should quickly take the card back to the North Branch and seal it up again."

However, looking at John's outstretched hand, Tachibana Ikkaku said awkwardly, "Ah, just now during the duel with Mr. Jonouchi, I accidentally got too excited and threw the 'Death' card out."

"Huh? It should have been thrown in the direction you walked out from. Isn't it over there?" After hearing what Ikkaku Tachibana said, Judai and John hurriedly searched on the grass, but they couldn't find the card that Ikkaku Tachibana mentioned. Judai said uncertainly, "It's not there at all. Is it really here? It couldn't have flown to some other place."

"We have to find it quickly, otherwise it will be bad if someone else picks up the dangerous card!" John seemed particularly anxious.

Judai suddenly realized something and looked at John strangely: "Why do I suddenly feel like, John, you don't seem to be particularly worried about the card being picked up by someone else, but you are eager to pick up the card for some other reason?"

"." After a moment of silence, John stuck out his tongue, "I can't hide it from you, Judai. In fact, Principal Ichinose said that if I successfully bring the card back, he can give me extra points."

"Although dueling monsters is fun, taking exams is a headache. If I can add in my regular scores, I won't have to worry too much about whether I can pass the final exam."

"To be honest, it's true. If only my regular grades could help to make up for the failing scores in the exam." Judai said this loudly, and kept glancing at Hayato who was nearby, with a hint of meaning.

"Give up on this idea, Judai. If you fail the exam, I won't help you ask Professor Chronos for mercy." Hayato put an end to Judai's delusion without hesitation.

"Mm Lucy~" Judai said somewhat sadly, still searching for the "Death God" card on the ground, "By the way, Mr. Hayato, did you see any cards dropped on the ground?"

Putting away the cards of the Star Dragons on the duel disk, Hayato said with a clear conscience: "Of course not, you must not have looked carefully enough. If you can't find the cards, think about your own reasons, okay?"

"If you're so short of people to look for cards, why don't you go find that charlatan over there?" Hayato pointed at Saioudō, who had appeared here with a crutch accompanied by Ed. "He walked here so energetically right after leaving the infirmary. I guess it wouldn't be a big deal to ask him to do some divination."

"Because Mr. Ayukawa from the health room suggested that Saiou should move more to help his recovery." Ed explained, "He is here only because the virtual images of the duel here are too noisy."

"Yeah, there were rockets launching into the sky, lasers dropping from space, and giant dragons in the universe that seemed to be about to destroy the entire Earth." Kitamori Reiko thought about the duel just now. Even though Okin's level was not very good, at least the special effects scene was quite grand, so it was normal that it would attract people here.

Seeing Saiou honestly helping Judai and his friends find the "Death God" card that was impossible to find on the ground with Ed, Hayato didn't realize that it was his fault that Judai and his friends couldn't find the card. He looked at Okin and said, "The stage of not being able to accept the fact should be over, right? Now, honestly hand over the control device of the laser satellite in the sky without a laser."

Hearing Hayato's words, Okin came back to his senses. With a complicated look, he looked up at the satellite "SKY" that was in orbit outside the earth and blocked part of the sun. He suddenly made a decision and gritted his teeth: "I want to protect Mizgaruzen and my kingdom. For this, I am even willing to give up my power and wealth. Even - my dignity!"

"I regret it, Hayato Kobayashi! Even if you beat me, I will never hand over the satellite 'SKY'! It must stay for me!"

Okin, who refused to accept the facts, chose to default on his debt and refused to hand over the satellite "SKY". He even lost his face!

"Huh? Are you still a human being?" Jonouchi looked at Okin and said angrily, "You won't be punished for losing a duel. Is this justice? This is more than just an asshole. I must give him a heavy punch!"

As he said this, he was going to use force to directly seize Okin's Duel Disk. Of course, he knew that even if he got the Duel Disk, he would not be able to use it, and he could not snatch control of the satellite from Okin, but at least he could let Kaiba and Hayato get the Duel Disk to study it, right? He was aware that his brain was not developed enough, but it didn't matter, Hayato and Kaiba could act as his temporary external brain.

However, Hayato was not in a hurry at all, and even stopped Jonouchi who was about to use force: "Hey~ Don't be anxious, Jonouchi, I expected this guy to do this, otherwise why would I keep delaying time to create opportunities for Set and Keipi?"

"Kaiba? Keipi?" Looking at Kaiba who had been here all the time and Keipi who had never been here, Jonouchi asked in confusion, "Did they do anything?"

"Of course, for example, a task that was scheduled to be performed next week was carried out a few days earlier." Hayato turned his head and glanced at Kaiba and the AR headset on Kaiba's ears. "Now, I think it's almost done?"

"It's already been done, Hayato-nii. We were just waiting for this guy to reject it!" Keipi's voice came from Hayato's Duel Disk. As the modifier of Hayato's custom Duel Disk, Keipi could of course communicate with Hayato through Hayato's Duel Disk. "After all, there was a plan to launch a rocket to send brother's 'Tree Diagram Designer' into space. Domino City is already ready."

"Whether it's because Kaiba Group's Duel Disks were interfered with on a large scale or because he was deceived into launching a satellite into space for him, this Okin of the Mizgaruzen Kingdom is doing things that will make Kaiba Group lose money. It's too abominable. The moment he refused to hand over the satellite, I had already launched the rocket. Although there is a sea between us, you guys should be able to see the rocket take off, right, Hayato-kun?"

As Keipi's voice fell, Hayato and Kaiba had already noticed a "red meteor" rising in the distant sky. That was the weather satellite "Dendrite Designer" that Kaiba Group planned to launch into space next week for global climate forecasting. Although the computing power provided by the hardware on board is far more than just a weather satellite, at least that is the name that Kaiba Group has made public.

Originally, when a satellite is launched into space orbit, it is necessary to calculate the trajectory to avoid collision with other satellites and space debris in outer space. However, the amount of calculation required for this launch is relatively much smaller, because the purpose of this rocket is to make the satellite it carries collide directly with the satellite "SKY" in space and shoot it down!

Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, so I will take a day off.
