Chapter 962: Chapter 935: The Sealed God
After the recent duel, the bishop was already terrified by Yugen. Now, seeing the nightmare demon closing in on his face, how could he dare to hide anything? He immediately said everything he knew without reservation.
What? The consequences of betraying Lord Evil God?
Didn’t you see that even Lord Evil God himself was hammered and ran away just now?
Though there might have been some reverence and loyalty towards Lord Evil God, it was all based on an awe for its power. However, seeing that Lord Evil God himself was defeated by this demon before him, it seemed this person’s rank might be above that of Lord Evil God. He, being a small fry, had no thoughts of resistance.
"Yes, there are three Evil Gods."
The bishop nodded repeatedly.
"They are the Evil Gods that correspond to the legendary Three Phantom Gods in the Dueling Realm, possessing even greater power than the Phantom Gods... supposedly."
The bishop added "supposedly" at the end to be cautious, indicating he was only reporting hearsay.
In truth, he originally had no doubt about the power of Lord Evil God. This was also the foundation of the followers’ loyalty to their deity. But after experiencing the impotence of Lord Evil God in the fight just now and sensing the terror of the person opposite him, the bishop’s faith in the invincibility of the Evil God as rumored began to waver.
If the divine power of Lord Evil God is truly as terrifying as the doctrine says, then what does that make this person?
Yugen now understood why even members of the Descent Sect internally referred to their god as the "Evil God." Their cards were just named that way, and the so-called Evil God was actually a name rather than a title.
"As for your Elf..."
The bishop hesitated, glancing at the large eye creature beside Yugen.
"I can’t say for sure. Lord Evil God only mentioned the need for this Elf, never clearly explained to us. But having been possessed by Lord Evil God a few times, I seem to know a bit vaguely..."
The bishop paused, lowered his voice, and said,
"This Elf likely hides the secret to unsealing Lord Evil Gods."
Yugen glanced at the eye, which appeared very surprised.
"Huh!? I have such an amazing secret on me?"
Hmm, true to nature, clueless about everything.
"I’m not sure about the details either," said the bishop, "but I know, like the Phantom Gods of the past, the cards of Lord Evil God were also born with the help of Father of Duel Monsters, Beckas.
Afterward, Beckas’s adoptive son, Pegasus Nightwalker, was chosen by Lord Evil God as the first host and engaged in a decisive battle with Muto Yuugi, who wielded the Phantom Gods at that time.
After that battle, for some reason, the Evil God was sealed. The key secret to unsealing is hidden in this Elf, which is why the Evil Gods continually commanded, regardless of the means and cost, to definitely seize this Elf."
"The key to unsealing." Yugen looked again at the eye, "No wonder the Evil Gods treat this guy with such seriousness."
The eye’s eyelids drooped: "I don’t feel honored at all."
Yugen mused that many years have passed since those events. As the Pharaoh of that time, Atom has returned to the Netherworld. Muto Yuugi is now elusive as a divine dragon, living a semi-reclusive life of a hermit.
Besides them, the most convenient people to contact for information would naturally be President Beckas of the International Fantasy Association, and Pegasus Nightwalker, who served as the possessed host at the time.
They might know the details of the sealing of the Evil God. If the sealing details are known, maybe it would be possible to infer what this eye really is and what specific role it serves from the unsealing method.
Once back, he plans to contact the International Fantasy Association and call Beckas and his son... No, it seems more reliable to visit them in person for such matters.
With his mind made up, Yugen set aside the plan for now and asked, "Does your Descent Sect also have Elf cadre?"
"Huh?"
The bishop was stunned, seemingly not understanding his question.
"Monster Spirit," said Yugen, "The followers of the Evil Gods shouldn’t all be human, right? There should also be some Elves who similarly worship the three, cooperating with you on many matters, right?"
Yugen had previously encountered the Charming Queen and even found fragments of the Evil God’s consciousness attached to her.
But that instance differed from this. Although the Charming Queen had also been enhanced, the level of darkness felt from her then was on a completely different scale than today’s.
To draw an analogy from the original animation, the enhancement the Charming Queen received from the Evil God felt akin to when Ed faced Yuki Judai for the first time and received the power of Light of Destruction from Saio, feeling like a sort of strengthening buff granted by the Evil God to its followers.
Whereas the bishop Yugen faced today was a direct projection of the Evil God, personally taking part in the fight, even having an avatar of the actual card here.
Yet the bishop still shook his head: "No, as far as I know, there are no Monster Spirits among the members of the church. However..."
The bishop hesitated and then said,
"In past church missions, assistance from Elves was received. There is also news that similar Descent Sects exist in the Elf World, serving the resurrection of the Evil Gods like ours.
We all operate independently based on divine instructions and have never communicated. So I’m not sure whether such Elf Sects exist...."
Yugen believed he wasn’t lying, and thus, most of the information needed had been extracted.
So he got up, jumped off the altar, and headed straight outside.
Below the altar surrounded a large crowd of worshippers. They seemed numerous, but as Yugen jumped down, they immediately parted to the sides, hastily clearing a path for him.
Yugen didn’t look back or even glance at them, as he walked away and pressed his earpiece to contact the Kaiba Group’s standby action team nearby.
"It’s done here; I’m ready to leave. Come to the scene and clean up."
The other side responded immediately.
Leaving the altar, Yugen walked towards the forest. But after a moment, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
The air had unknowingly become somewhat oppressive, with darkness gushing from the forest around him, gradually converging towards Yugen.
"Suddenly, there seems to be something off..." said the eye nervously.
"Indeed." Yugen smiled slightly.
Could it be that those Evil Gods are this eager and have already come for him?
No, although it is still a fluctuation of dark power, it feels different from the aura of the Evil God just now.
But by now, Yugen was skilled and daring, confident with cards in hand and nothing to fear.
He nonchalantly walked a few more steps, exiting the small forest, and the scenery before him suddenly broadened.
It seemed to be... a palace?
