Chapter 1735 Today's Breastfeeding of Loki (11)

"The aura I sensed was right after all. It really is you, Hayato Kobayashi!"

The one on the left of the three giants—Loki, the Supreme God—appears as a clown-like giant wearing an exaggerated hat and with a pointed nose. This image is more consistent with the traditional Norse mythology than the image of Lopt, the Shadow of Kings, which was previously created in the "Duel-Links" world.

Although Loki is a giant in mythology, he is the shortest of the three astral gods when they stand together.

"Is this the human you were talking about, Loki?"

The one on the right of the three pillar gods said in a deep voice, "Doesn't it look a little too small?"

Not to mention the lightning that constantly arises in the sky behind him and is absorbed into his armor simply because of his existence, the enormous hammer in his hand alone is enough for anyone with even the most basic knowledge of Norse mythology to guess the identity of this pillar god—Thor, whose fame is among the highest in the world thanks to certain superhero comics and their adaptations into movies and anime.

That is—【Emperor of the Ultimate Gods - Thor】.

"Don't underestimate him, Thor. Sensing him carefully, you see a terrifying power hidden within him that can destroy everything." The central giant, not only the largest in size but also the highest in status, with his long white beard, solemnly reminded the [Ultimate God Emperor - Thor] beside him.

"What did you see?" It was clear that [Emperor Thor] held this giant god in high esteem, and asked cautiously.

Without directly answering the question, the one-eyed giant glanced subtly at Loki, the Supreme God Emperor, beside him: "You're not lying, Loki. I truly see a future of destruction in this human—not just in humanity's own world, but also in our astral plane, brewing the end of Ragnarok."

"—But you didn't mention that you had already been in contact with him before today?"

A being whose status surpasses even the god of war, who controls thunder and agriculture, and the god of fire, who manipulates lies and pranks, is among the few in Norse mythology. However, when the image of this giant is enhanced with elements such as "cloaked," "one-eyed," and "wielding a spear," only one answer remains: the master of magic and poetry, the god of war and death, and the originator of the Hanged Man in Tarot. He has hundreds of titles and aliases, but the most well-known title for him is Odin, the supreme god of Norse mythology!
【Odin, the Supreme Holy Emperor】!
"But you can't deny that I only concealed some information and didn't deceive you, did I?" [Supreme God Emperor - Loki], brazenly said, despite the sharp gaze emanating from [Supreme God Emperor - Odin]'s single eye, "Although everyone says I'm the greatest 'Trickster,' that's clearly a compliment to my magical skills. Don't harbor any strange stereotypes or prejudices against me."

(trickster: has two meanings: "magician" and "liar")
"Hmph, you can take it seriously all you want, but we won't believe you." [Emperor Thor] glared at [Emperor Loki], gripping the hammer handle with both hands as if ready for battle. "However, since this human will bring disaster to our astral plane, let me just kill him right here!"

"Huh?" Hayato, who had been watching the show from the ground, smiled with interest upon hearing this. "Looks like they're up to no good."

"But instead of running away, they're approaching me, Kobayashi Hayato?"

Although it was immediately obvious that the "Three Pillars of the Astral Realm" had blocked his way out of the space tunnel, and that Loki, the Supreme God Emperor, was up to some trick, Hayato had no intention of avoiding the fight. After all, he had come to this world with the intention of exploring new worlds, satisfying his curiosity, and finding someone to play cards with, or rather, card spirits.

While it's not as severe as Kaiba's case, what card player doesn't have a bit of a card addiction? Especially after getting new cards, they can't wait to find someone on the street and start playing cards to test how the new cards will change their decks.

It must be admitted that Hayato's decision to deliberately let Yubel strike him, thus banishing him from the human world to the spirit world, was absolutely correct. Although the intensity of duels that the spirits here can bring is nowhere near as strong as those in the human world, especially since Hayato can always find top-tier powerhouses like Kaiba, Yugi, and Jonouchi to "fight."

However, the benefits of the Pokémon duels here were truly exhilarating for Hayato. There were card Pokémon everywhere that could be defeated and captured just like in Pokémon Omega, including some that had mastered Synchro Summoning long before humans due to the gradual changes in the world.

The most obvious and direct benefit to Hayato is that the progress of many achievements in the system has increased. Obviously, most of these achievements are related to Synchro Summoning, the summoning method that humans first tried but which the seahorse has not yet been able to complete.

However, in the Spirit World, Blackwing isn't the only one who has mastered the power of Synchro. While this was true in the Great Forest of Winged Beasts, Hayato clearly remembers another instance—the "Astral Triads" before him are also Synchro Monsters, and their presence here is the best proof that they too have mastered this new summoning method of Synchro!
The deck commanded by the "Three Celestial Gods" is called "Polar Star". Although it is an extremely humorous deck with a total of six names including "Polar Star", "Polar Star Heaven", "Polar Star Spirit", "Polar Star Beast", "Polar Star Treasure" and "Polar God", calling it an entertainment deck is an exaggeration. The three Synchro Monsters at the end of the deck have different adjustment requirements.

However, considering that the opposing team was originally supposed to be the agents of the human world in the future, forming the "Ragnarok Team" to fight against the protagonist group, and theoretically, it can be said that they are two self-defense mechanisms activated by the world to counter the changes in spacetime, and humorous products of attacking each other because they did not activate friendly fire, and they belong to three team members respectively, and are indeed three sets of cards with common fields, it is reasonable that there would be such chaotic fields.

Moreover, unlike the humorous strength in the physical card environment, the three gods in front of us are most likely to appear in the form of the anime in Hayato's memory. They are "god" attribute monsters that replaced the "starter three" after the "three Egyptian Gods" in the DM era and the "three Egyptian Gods" in the GX era.

Hayato even remembered that during the Paradox incident, Yusei Fudo, who traveled from the future to the past, was a "Dark Signer" who had just finished fighting the "Earthbound God" and was about to face the "Ragnarok Team" and the "New World Team," which was actually a "Taiichi" organization established by time-traveling robots from the future.

Before Yusei left, Hayato specially trained Yusei on how to deal with "gods" using the "Three Egyptian Gods" who were still in the human world at the time and had not been buried with Atem and returned to the underworld—although at the time Hayato was actually just using the [Sky Dragon of Osiris], which was particularly effective against "Ultraman," to bully weaker opponents.

Although it doesn't have the same resistance as the "Three Egyptian Gods" and "Three Egyptian Demons", the fact that the Synchro Summoning conditions have been removed from "[Polar Celestial] Tuner Monster", "[Polar Celestial Spirit] Tuner Monster", and "[Polar Celestial Beast] Tuner Monster" is already a significant enhancement to the "Three Egyptian Gods". After all, it no longer needs to be restricted to those Tuner Monsters with specific fields and outdated effects.

Meanwhile, the Special Summoning of the [Extreme Gods], which have a self-reviving effect, has had its activation cost removed, leaving only the pure revival and the effect triggered upon Special Summoning. The effects that can be activated while on the field have also changed. For example, the effect of [Extreme God Emperor Thor], which negates all face-up monsters on the opponent's field until the end of the turn, has become able to negate only one monster, but the duration has become permanent, and it can also steal all the effects of the negated monster after that.

The effect of 【Supreme Holy Emperor - Odin】 has been strengthened from the physical card's "After activation, you are unaffected by Spell & Trap effects for one turn" to the continuous card's "Negative to Spell & Trap effects on Divine Beast monsters while on the field".

Yes, in the anime version, the original "Triple Gods"—Angel, Beast Warrior, and Spellcaster—were not only unified in terms of their attributes but also their races, becoming the Divine Beast race. For cards like [Supreme God Emperor - Thor], whose effects have both weakened and strengthened, and [Supreme God Emperor - Odin], whose effects have been greatly enhanced, this change, while depriving them of the possibility of being strengthened by cards supporting specific races, is a trade-off, and it's normal to have gains and losses.

Only [Loki the Supreme God Emperor]! His effect has changed from the physical card's "Once during your Battle Phase, if your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, negate and destroy that activation" to "When you attack, negate and destroy the activation and effect of one card in your opponent's Spell/Trap Zone," which is essentially a [Whirlwind] with negation?
The phrase "Show us absolute power, laugh at the world" in its summoning incantation is incredibly ironic. Perhaps "Show us absolute power that the world will laugh at" would be more appropriate. The "Three Pillars of the Astral Realm" have changed from the OCG version to the animated version. The power of the other two pillars has increased and decreased, but only the effect of [Loki, the Supreme God Emperor] has been absolutely weakened.

Honestly, Hayato felt that Loki, the God of War, would have a better future if he continued playing the King's War mode. Besides, wasn't the image of Lopto, the Shadow of the King's War, much better than this ugly giant clown? Just as Hayato was trying to make jokes about Loki, like compiling a "Silver Chariot University Study," Thor, whose main identity was a warrior and therefore somewhat irritable, swung his hammer at Hayato, attempting to kill him directly before the duel ceremony.

Neither Loki nor Odin stopped him. The latter thought that what if Thor succeeded? The former felt that it didn't matter if that brute did nothing, since it was impossible for him to succeed anyway.

"clang--"

The heavy "Mjolnir" slammed down on the purple sleeve. The enormous puppet, God Shaddoll Nephilim, which serves as the terminal device connecting and controlling many Shaddolls, revealed its massive existence without restraint after arriving in this vast "Astral Plane," easily accepting the "Mjolnir," which was more famous than its wielder.

"How is this possible!?" Looking at the giant puppet in front of him, [Supreme God Emperor - Thor] was astonished and could not believe that there was a card spirit so large that it could rival their "Three Extreme Gods of the Astral Realm" and was being driven by this tiny human.
However, [Shadowdome Nephilim] could only be considered the vanguard. After the [Shadowdoves] connected to it exerted their power together, the torrential lightning that accompanied the fall of the giant hammer was completely swallowed up in the shadows. Among them, a magic bullet secretly released by [Loki] was suddenly bitten to pieces by a bird's beak.

The Earthbound God, Viracocha Rasca, who also bears the title of "god," tears the earth apart and soars through the astral realm with its wings spread. One of its prototypes is the Inca mythological creator god, Viracocha. Aside from the card's prototype, it was also the strongest Earthbound God who fought against the "Star Dragons" under the command of the Red Dragon five thousand years ago. Even the "Evil God" Loki, who is known as the "Evil God," appears somewhat benevolent in its presence.

"See, I told you this human was dangerous." Even now, [Loki, the Supreme God Emperor] didn't forget to incite the other two pillar gods against Hayato. "Aren't you going to take care of this inherently evil human?"

The target of his provocation—[Supreme Holy Emperor - Odin]—held a spear in one hand, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, he was ready to throw the divine spear Gungnir, which was sure to hit, at any moment.

"If I don't believe a word you say, I'll fall for your trick. But if I believe more than a tenth of it, then you've successfully fooled me." Without even glancing at [Loki, the Supreme God Emperor], [Odin, the Supreme God Emperor] paused and continued, "However, do you think I have no equal before me?"

In the direction his javelin was vaguely aimed, the burning giant divine bird resembled the sun falling on the earth. Hayato stood steadily on the head of the Winged Dragon of Ra, looking at the Supreme Holy Emperor Odin, and sneered: "Although in a tokusatsu film, a life-sized character suddenly starting to grow to giant size basically means that he is about to die and go offline, I don't think my side will lose."

"Want to test the destructive power of a gigantic battle? I don't care what happens to your 'Astral Plane'."

Looking at Hayato, [Supreme Holy Emperor - Odin] sighed: "[Loki] said that the dangerous calamity would be signaled by your entry into this world and brought to the 'Astral Plane,' and I did indeed sense the approaching aura of 'Ragnarok' from you."

The god of war and death, without even attempting a real battle, slowly lowered his spear as if he had given up resistance. "The power of this world—the 'Astral Plane'—is prepared to deal with greater calamities and destruction. I will not allow you to destroy this place. However, I cannot ignore the fact that you have entered this world."

In the air before [Supreme Holy Emperor - Odin], starlight gathered and transformed into an old man wearing a cloak and hood. Several runes floated up on his raised left hand, forming the shape of a duel disk: "—So, let us end this conflict with you using the ritual of dueling!"

"Duel!"

[Odin Paulsen: 4000LP, 5 in hand]

At the same time, with a wave of his hand, two bolts of lightning fell from the sky, one connecting to a humanoid clone seemingly created by Odin, and the other to [Thor, the Supreme God Emperor], who appeared to be very close but was actually tens of kilometers away.

Without any struggle, [Thor] allowed the lightning to absorb something from his body. As the lightning disappeared into the sky, Odin had a white-bordered card in his hand, which he then put away.

Then, Odin looked at the other side, at the [Ultimate God Emperor - Loki], and behind him, in sync with the human clone's movements, was the towering [Ultimate God Emperor - Odin] himself.

"I understand, there's no need to attack me!" Loki quickly spoke up, snapping his fingers. As he did so, a gigantic card appeared in his hand as if by magic, and was then flung towards Odin's human clone, gradually shrinking in mid-air.

By the time Odin caught it, the card had grown to the size of a regular Duel Monster card and was then put away.

"Looks like I'm going to beat all three 'God Triads' in one go." Hayato also took out his deck. "Wouldn't that make me like the King of Unexpected Strike, Crow, and Crab King? Hmph, if my opponent has a Synchro 'God Triad', I'll just use this new Synchro deck I just got."

"This deck, a Synchro deck whose entire field was taken over by a single card!"

"Duel!"

[Hayato Kobayashi: 4000LP, 5 card in hand]

Just as the game "Pseudo-Box O" and "Invisible Hand" were about to be released, TCG released an anti-NTR card, "Zombie Shepherd."

It can even be used on monsters, it's just a bit of a shame it's a normal spell card.
—Effect: You can target 1 face-up or face-down Defense Position monster on your opponent's field that originally owned by you. If that monster is not on the field or was originally owned by you, the following effect applies (face-down monsters are revealed).

● Deals 200 damage to the opponent.

●Gain control of all monsters on your opponent's field, except for that monster.
