#517Chapter 517 Kaiba, you don't want Atum's clone to beAI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 517: Kaiba, you wouldn't want Atem's clone to be... [Detected that you cast "Hundred Demons' Night Parade" on the Stand World while in fusion state—]
[Judgment passed.]
[Your Stand World has been temporarily overwritten by a new template.]
[Your "Stand User/Dio Brando" template has been temporarily converted into a flawed protagonist template from the Devil May Cry 3 world blueprint—Devil Hunter/Dante.]
[Devil Hunter: Flawed protagonist template, template blueprint is "Dante," the protagonist of Devil May Cry 3. As the descendant of the legendary demon swordsman Sparda and the human woman Eva, the legendary Devil Hunter Dante possesses both human and demon blood, and is often referred to as the Son of Sparda by hostile demons.
Among Dante's many combat styles, the Quicksilver style is the only combat system related to time manipulation.
When you load the "Devil Hunter" template—
You will simultaneously gain the template-exclusive skills "Trickster," "Swordmaster," "Quicksilver," and "Gunslinger."
This temporary template will only last for 200 seconds.]
Unlike the world's time-stop system, Dante's Quicksilver style tends to slow down the surrounding time, and the consumption when using Quicksilver Time is significantly less than the world's Za Warudo, consuming only 50 MP per second.
This was more than enough for Cheng Tian, who had a maximum MP of 1500.
30 seconds! He didn't even know how to spend it!
At the same time, the casting pre-animation for Quicksilver Time was almost nonexistent; it could be activated with just a light snap of the fingers, and it didn't need to be constantly active, allowing for flexible control.
Moreover, because it wasn't a time stop, from the perspective of others, Cheng Tian essentially accelerated, with an acceleration factor of about 10.
For beings with high mental power, their thoughts might barely keep up, but their bodies were completely 10 beats slower.
So Seto Kaiba could only watch as Cheng Tian grabbed him by the collar, tossed him into the air, and then a scene very familiar to Devil May Cry players appeared.
The scene jokingly referred to as Royal Guard Air Combat.
Seto Kaiba never managed to land on the ground from beginning to end, and Cheng Tian's combo count also soared to a 3S level.
Although Cheng Tian's equipment slot was disabled, the derivative equipment of the Oni Gauntlet was still there.
Flame Serpent Sword, Thunder Halberd, and Gale Blade, these three weapons switched back and forth in Cheng Tian's hands, then struck Kaiba's body with great precision.
It must be said that Cheng Tian's fighting style was somewhat business-like; he didn't choose fatal spots, and moreover, they were all places protected by Soul Light.
The relationship between Kaiba and Blue-Eyes White Dragon seemed somewhat similar to Cheng Tian and the world, but the fundamental difference was quite large.
If the world took damage, Cheng Tian's main body would also suffer the same damage; in this respect, both sides were the same.
But the difference was that damage to Cheng Tian's main body would not manifest in the world, while damage to Kaiba's main body would be actively shared by Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
And this was the main reason why Cheng Tian dared to strike.
Although Kaiba had already emphasized not to hold back, he himself was not one of those strong and robust fighters. If he suffered the same kind of blows as Chizuru Kagura did before, Kaiba might not know how long he would have to lie in the ICU.
In addition, compared to a time stop, which completely baffled people and left them unaware of what Cheng Tian had done, the visual experience brought by Quicksilver Time was clearly much better.
Anyway, in their eyes, Cheng Tian's speed suddenly increased significantly, and he kept Kaiba in the air like juggling a ball, preventing him from landing.
And whenever Blue-Eyes White Dragon wanted to stop Cheng Tian's aerial combo-racking behavior, the colors of Quicksilver would once again fill the entire arena, making the CEO continue to take a beating elsewhere.
The current battle situation indeed greatly exceeded the understanding of all spectators, and at the same time, an inevitable feeling of disappointment emerged.
They had expected to see the God Slime's God Hand Crush once more, but they were likely to be disappointed.
And this, in fact, was purely a matter of ability counter-play.
Some viewers felt that Cheng Tian's actions were unfair, using super speed (in their eyes) to deal with a main summoner opponent was not in line with martial ethics.
But as soon as they complained a bit, someone from the other side chimed in.
"You think it's unfair for Aoko to use super speed against Kaiba, so can't I also think it's unfair for Kaiba to use the God Slime against Aoko?"
"...That's not the same!"
"Come on~ tell me how it's not the same."
Similar conversations appeared frequently in the audience stands. While the intensity and special effects of the match disappointed many of them, the discussion about this ability counter-play clearly became more heated.
There were even many people who clearly had no intention of convincing the other party, but were merely venting their emotions.
It can only be said that even if Cheng Tian wasn't sitting in the host's position, he could still cause trouble with his actions.
Was Kaiba frustrated? Naturally, he was extremely frustrated!
In fact, this frustration and humiliation were almost on par with being stood up by Atem.
Everyone had witnessed Kaiba's tenacity and persistence; if Atem stood him up, he would find a way to break into the Underworld to duel him.
If Cheng Tian kept him floating in the air, unable to land, would he accept it?
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not accept it; he would do whatever it took for the victory of the duel... But at this moment, the despicable and shameless Cheng whispered something directly into his ear, and Kaiba's body suddenly trembled—
"Do you still want Atem's clone?"
"You!"
Kaiba's eyes widened.
He had never revealed anything about this to anyone other than Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but who was Cheng? He was a walking box weapon!
He knew all too well Kaiba's obsession with the King.
So when he saw Kaiba's hesitant state during their conversation, he already knew what Kaiba was plotting.
It was nothing more than cloning a new body using Yugi's DNA, and then pulling Atem out of the Underworld to duel.
The match had progressed to this level, and Cheng Tian was also beginning to use unscrupulous means, or rather, returning to his original intentions; he used such seemingly despicable methods without any hesitation.
From another perspective, if Kaiba were a bit more clear-headed, he would know that with the advantage brought by Quicksilver Time, if Cheng Tian truly wanted to kill him, Kaiba wouldn't even have time to summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and God Slime to save him.
The counter-play between abilities was that cruel; if you couldn't beat them, you just couldn't. A person who could barely lift 100 kilograms simply couldn't lift 101 kilograms.
But it was best not to let Kaiba know about Cheng Tian's self-imposed N-ban on the match, otherwise, with his personality, he would definitely make a fuss.
Cheng Tian didn't want to receive the same treatment as Atem.
Under Cheng Tian's active restraint, President Kaiba finally landed on the ground again, feeling non-fatal pains all over his body. After raising his hand to stop the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which still wanted to attack, he took a deep breath and stared intently at Cheng Tian.
"You win!"
"Winner! Aoko!"
