Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

Right now, they are merely using the powerful force of the Dark Archmage within Chen Yuexi's body to forcibly suppress and force back the external anomalies.

Out of instinctive fear, it temporarily dared not approach the defensive barrier of the Celestial Arbitrator.

However, through the ever-increasing energy threshold on the screen, Kairos could clearly feel that the terrifying power outside was growing stronger and stronger as it was being devoured!

As a human, Chen Yuexi's power is not inexhaustible.

If a solution cannot be found soon, it's only a matter of time before the Tianxing Arbitrator Headquarters, this last safe haven, is completely swallowed up!

Everyone in the lab is currently searching for a solution, but no one has been able to find one.

Kairos suddenly turned his gaze to the phone beside him.

This is Lilith's phone. He took it after Lilith disappeared.

Because he assembled this phone himself for Lilith.

Now the little girl is nowhere to be found, and the experiment has yielded no results.

For the first time, Kelos felt so powerless!

……

The scene shifts, and Raleigh City has now become a hellish, apocalyptic place.

On the rooftop of a high-rise building in the city center, which has not yet been completely swallowed up, a howling wind whips up clouds of dust.

A man wearing a ferocious black horse mask, arms crossed, looked down at the things crumbling and disappearing below, and couldn't help but let out a morbidly fanatical sigh:

"Wow... what a spectacular scene."

"Is this what they call 'assimilation'?"

The man in the black horse mask had a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

"It truly lives up to its reputation as the deadliest virus in the virtual world. Having just broken free from its seal and revived, it already possesses such incredible power."

"She actually plans to devour an entire city in one go, turning it into her absolute domain!"

"Ah, a city?"

Just then, the woman standing next to him, wearing a pure white unicorn mask, suddenly let out a disdainful snort.

“Simonli, you underestimate that man’s ambition.”

The wind whipped her trench coat through the air, and the woman in the unicorn mask gazed at the collapsing horizon in the distance, a faint, undisguised fear lurking deep in her eyes.

"What she wants is far more than just a small city."

"It's estimated... that they intend to assimilate the entire world!"

"She wants to completely overturn our entire real world and turn it into a virtual world under her control!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"The whole world?"

"Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death!"

The man wearing the ferocious black horse mask couldn't help but exclaim.

Chapter 286 The Phantom Demon That Brings Despair—Uria the Divine Flame Emperor!

A fierce wind howled and raged across the desolate rooftop.

The woman wearing the pure white unicorn mask took a deep breath of the slightly scorching air, her full chest rising and falling slightly. After trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, she continued in her cool voice:

"After all, that guy is a terrifying being who can forcibly disperse and suppress the legendary 'Link 6' being, which is comparable to a god."

"Although they did use our help in this process, we probably didn't actually contribute much in this storm."

The woman's gaze, peering through her mask, fell upon the crumbling sky in the distance. "After all, the person we sent out to assist was merely a newly promoted rookie."

"It is to be expected that the other party has such ambitions to devour the world."

She slightly raised her head, her voice carrying a hint of self-mockery and coldness:

"after all……"

"Which of those so-called 'gods' who are high above us isn't scheming to completely strip us of our real world and transform it into their absolute divine kingdom?"

"Do they intend to win that supreme divine war?"

Upon hearing the woman's shocking remarks, the man beside her was momentarily stunned, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes beneath the mask.

“If that’s the case…” the man’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice a little dry, “then why would the leader cooperate with them?”

In the man's eyes, this kind of thing, which could lead to utter ruin with the slightest carelessness, was simply a irrational attempt to negotiate with a tiger for its skin!

"Ha, is that kind of high-level power struggle something we need to worry about?"

The woman let out a disdainful chuckle, then her eyes sharpened considerably:

"While everyone's attention is currently drawn to that rampaging virtual world..."

"We need to get ready to work too."

"The first altar of the gods is about to be opened."

"We can't afford to fall behind in this competition."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman took a step forward without hesitation. With her clothes fluttering, she flew down from the hundred-meter-high building like a white bird.

The man stood on the edge of the rooftop, looked down into the unfathomable abyss, and sighed deeply. Although he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to jump down and follow closely behind the woman.

The other party is right. These matters concerning the survival of the world are not something that a nobody like me should worry about.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. For these lower-level personnel, the most important thing is to complete the tasks assigned by the organization step by step.

The two figures plummeted rapidly in the howling wind, like two shooting stars, and soon landed at the very bottom of the tall building.

The ground was now completely unrecognizable.

As the virtual space devoured everything like a black hole, the building's original solid foundation and base were completely empty and erased.

The modern buildings that were originally used to conceal the prosperity of this place have long since disappeared, completely revealing its true form, which had been buried by time.

What comes into view is a vast and ancient underground abyss.

A huge, pale blue halo slowly swirled across the ground. Above the halo, countless mysterious and ancient golden alchemical symbols seemed to possess life, constantly moving and intertwining, radiating a chilling pressure.

With a deafening roar, a continuous stream of thick, scorching magma was gushing out from the deep underground fissure, greedily devouring everything in its path!

A terrifying heat instantly engulfed his entire body. The man struggled to raise his hand, wiping the sweat that trickled down his chin from the edge of his mask, his face filled with lingering fear and horror.

"Even though it has been sealed for countless years, the mere wisp of its aura that has leaked out is still so terrifying..."

"Just standing here, the terrifying pressure is almost unbearable for me."

The man's voice trembled slightly: "As expected of the legendary Phantom Demon that brings despair!"

"—Divine Flame Emperor Uriah!"

Gazing at the hellish lava lake before him, the man turned his head, his voice hoarse and trembling with a hint of fear of the unknown:

"Do we... really want to break this seal and release this phantom demon that destroys everything?"

The woman standing to the side did not answer immediately. Under the intense heat that could melt steel, she too was drenched in sweat, her tight-fitting clothes completely soaked through.

But her gaze was unusually firm, and she didn't utter a single unnecessary word.

She silently reached out and solemnly pulled out a card from her bosom that emitted an eerie red light.

The red light flowed across the card like molten lava. The woman took a deep breath, then slowly released her fingers, tossing it into the abyss below.

"laugh--!"

As the mysterious card emitting red light was instantly swallowed by the churning lava, this underground space seemed to have triggered some forbidden switch, and the temperature here began to rise irrationally and rapidly!

"go!"

The masked woman shouted sharply, her voice filled with extreme solemnity.

Without uttering a single wasted word, she suddenly turned around, becoming a blur, and immediately retreated into the distance.

The man beside him also dared not hesitate for a moment, and suddenly exerted force with his feet, frantically fleeing outwards.

Because they knew better than anyone else that the ancient demon that once wreaked havoc on the world and brought endless despair was about to reappear!

Deep underground, the ancient alchemical runes that were originally engraved on the earth began to dim and lose their luster at a visible rate.

The once indestructible blue sealing light barrier began to flicker and twist violently, its surface covered with hideous cracks resembling a spider web, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

"Roar--!!!"

With a terrifying roar that seemed to tear apart the soul, coming from the depths of the earth, the remaining blue light barrier could no longer withstand the earth-shattering pressure and shattered completely with a loud "boom"!

The moment the seal was broken, it was as if divine punishment had descended, and all the moisture in the space within a ten-mile radius was instantly drained!

The lush vegetation withered and turned to ash in an instant, and the rushing rivers dried up at a visible speed.

The once bustling and vibrant modern cityscape was transformed into a horrific hell on earth in the blink of an eye!

This is not a simple drought in nature at all, but rather every water molecule in the surrounding space is forcibly stripped away and evaporated in an instant by some extremely domineering and irrational law.

The air became extremely distorted and scorched under the extreme heat, and even the light was severely refracted.

Even the most basic breathing for an ordinary person feels like swallowing handfuls of scalding hot sand, causing excruciating pain and blood in the throat.

The once bustling commercial district, lined with skyscrapers and teeming with traffic, has now been reduced to a desolate, red wasteland.

Under the terrifying heat, the smooth asphalt road melted and flowed rapidly like cheap chocolate, eventually converging into thick, black rivers that emitted a pungent, burnt smell.

The towering glass curtain walls on both sides began to soften and stretch violently under the scorching heat, like molten, murky wax tears, twisting and hanging down onto the scalding ground, emitting a series of eerie sizzling sounds.

Rumble—!

The earth began to tremble violently and crack wildly, with huge, bottomless ravines crisscrossing the ground, and molten lava gushing out from the cracks and flowing wildly!

The next second, a terrifying heat, enough to completely burn through the Earth's atmosphere, shot into the sky like a reversed volcano!

That was not just a simple physical high temperature, but a law that transcended the comprehension of mortals and was above the present world!

Under the influence of this domineering law, all the remaining buildings that were still barely standing on the wasteland within a radius of several kilometers spontaneously combusted in an instant, without even needing to come into contact with any open flame, instantly turning into torches of death that shot straight into the sky.

Amidst the deadly sparks flying everywhere and the crimson heatwave twisted to its extreme, a colossal, suffocating, and terrifying entity that blots out the sky is slowly and irresistibly rising from the deepest part of the boiling lava lake.
