Outer Entity Azathot!
Looking at the twisted mass of flesh in front of him, Tenjo Hikari felt waves of dizziness.
He shook his head, trying hard to support his forehead with his hand, but then saw that beside him, Black Flame had already collapsed and returned to Tenjo Hikari's deck.
Although the three knights were among the strongest ordinary Spirits under Tenjo Hikari, compared to Flame Sword and Crystal, it was slightly inferior.
Tierra frowned deeply, also somewhat shocked.
The "Monster" in front of him... no... the "Divine Incarnation" in front of him was already terrifyingly powerful.
That "Ecole de Zone"... "Azathot" itself, what a mighty God it must be?
"I can't stand it." Tenjo Hikari rubbed his forehead, looked at the opposing Monster Card, and took a deep breath.
Outer Entity Azathot, Rank 5, Dark Attribute, Fiend-Type, ATK 2400, Xyz Material 3.
"Oh ho... In the face of our supreme and invincible power, you can still stand upright?" Diabolos looked at Tenjo Hikari in shock, "Human, you are not an ordinary Warrior..."
It gathered countless limbs and muttered, "In the past, those who dared to covet my treasures either surrendered immediately when facing it or fainted on the spot... you are the first human to duel normally."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Tierra heard its words and was somewhat unconcerned.
Certainly, this Azathot possesses unbelievably immense power, but it is merely mental pollution. As long as the level of the soul reaches a certain point, it won't be affected. She is a typical example of a "Planet God."
Moreover, according to her judgment, even without her level, a simple Natural God of a single Planet would be enough to directly confront Azathot.
"Ha ha ha ha, soon you will know its power—"
Diabolos laughed maniacally, "This invincible card's Divine power—during the turn it is Xyz summoned, the opponent cannot activate Monster Effects!"
So powerful?
Tierra, upon hearing this, could understand Diabolos's obsession with this card.
"A small problem, right, Tenjo Hikari, you can deal with it using that card, right?" Tierra pointed at the card in Tenjo Hikari's hand, Tenjo Hikari glanced at it, then shook his head.
"It's useless."
"?" Tierra was puzzled, "Why."
"It's not the same as those cards we encountered in previous duels with darkness, it's not a Monster that can be 'dealt with' and that's the end of it." Tenjo Hikari frowned and continued, "It is an extremely special 'applicable effect'. As long as it is successfully summoned, it doesn't matter if it is negated by cards like Infinite Impermanence, or any other card's negation or destruction, it won't work—as soon as it appears, for the entire opponent's turn, they cannot activate Monster Effects!"
"So... even if you deal with it, it doesn't mean anything."
"Unbelievable..." Tierra was shocked.
At this point, Flame Sword and Crystal couldn't hold on either. They started to fade in color just like Black Flame, turning gray-white. Moreover, they themselves became like folded paper, appearing as if from a three-dimensional projection turned into a paper sheet.
"Come back." Tenjo Hikari raised his left hand, letting the two return to the cards as well. Crystal struggled for a moment before turning into a flowing light, but the Flame Swordsman, even under such circumstances, gritted its teeth and persisted.
"I... want to protect... my lord." Flame Swordsman insisted.
Tierra glanced at it.
Although it was the dumbest among Tenjo Hikari's high-level Spirits, it was also the most persistent.
Tierra shook her head, gently raised her hand, and a massive Archfiend appeared, igniting blue flames that consumed its "paper" body. It then returned to the card.
She acknowledged Flame Swordsman's loyalty, but there was no need to insist in such a situation.
"No hurry, these should be Monster Card's special powers. Adapt a little before coming back out... with me here, no one will be able to harm Tenjo Hikari." Tierra said offhandedly.
On the other side, Tenjo Hikari also observed the Spirits across from him.
Apart from Diabolos, other Spirits also showed varying degrees of frenzy after Azathot appeared, with many Spirits' bodies twisting or even producing extra limbs.
More surprisingly, Tenjo Hikari watched as a regular Spirit twisted into a Tindangle Intruder.
So... that's how those Tindangle Monsters appear.
Tenjo Hikari couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that the body part recycling of "Ecole de Zone" really can't be delayed.
Now Tenjo Hikari recalled what Zone told him back then and mostly understood. "Cthulhu Mythos" Gods indeed do not exist in the Human World, so it's normal for those Cthulhu Mythos Gods' cards to have multiple copies.
But—
There is a root to everything.
The real "God" is actually hidden in countless Spirit Dimensions.
No wonder "Ecole de Zone" could survive being pierced through by red light head-on, turns out it's "Azathot."
Tenjo Hikari rubbed his forehead, "Cthulhu Mythos," the source and creator of all, the true creator of the cosmos, the blind and foolish God!
Tenjo Hikari shook his head.
No,
Why still think about lore backgrounds at this time.
Tenjo Hikari looked at the opponent's field.
Although there's only one Monster, just this one Monster is enough to shut down ninety-nine percent of decks.
Outer Entity Azathot, the strongest card in the "Cthulhu Mythos Series Cards," and one of the two Forbidden Cards in this series, designed by a Korean designer as a Korea-exclusive card.
