Chapter 1107 - 1080: The Death of Diwein
"What... kind of... joke is this..."
Diwein stared wide-eyed, his body weakly toppling backward.
The Sin Card Deck casually threw out all kinds of heaven-defying monsters as if it were a game. He was already convinced that this was absolutely a privileged deck, a mess that Godwin printed recklessly by abusing his authority.
Utterly shameless.
Yet even so, he had defended against all of them, every single one.
But this bastard immediately pulled out... Bouncing Turtle!
This wretched turtle seemed harmless, like a worthless fish, yet with just a wave of its hand, it gave him the darkest and most hopeless experience of his life.
The digits displayed for Life Points jumped to the 0 position, and Diwein’s skin gradually started losing color, becoming transparent from the fingertips, as if being devoured by an invisible force. His life force slipped away like fine sand through his fingers, and every breath came with excruciating pain.
He realized in despair that he was going to die.
Every cell in his body resisted his commands, all functions gradually stalling, and even the strength to shout was stripped away, leaving only the indifferent image of the officer in his pupils, watching him die without a ripple, like a white demon.
Yet... he wasn’t willing.
He still had unfinished ambitions, an incomplete enterprise. He had brainwashed so many Telekinesis Duelists, strong Duelists with extraordinary powers who could easily blast away an entire district. With just a few keywords, he could make everyone obey him.
But after so much planning, so many years of work, he didn’t even have the chance to use it.
He should have been the king of the new world, how could...
"Aaaah Godwin—"
Diwein’s expression twisted as he seemed to burn through the last of his body’s strength, gathering all the hatred into a punch aimed at Yugen’s face.
But Yugen didn’t dodge or evade, calmly standing there with a smile as the punch came.
Then it passed right through his face.
Yes, passed through, as if Diwein had become a Spirit Body, losing physicality, unable even to touch the opponent.
Diwein widened his eyes in horror, turning his head to see that somewhere along the way, his body had died, quietly kneeling on the ground behind. Unknowingly, he had rushed out of his shell, turning into a soul.
"No, don’t... I’ll do anything, please save me..."
"Thanks, but it’s not necessary," Yugen squinted, smiling softly, "But don’t worry, Diwein. Whether it’s Qiu, your Arcadia Movement, or all the secrets you collected over the years, I’ll inherit them for you.
Just rest assured and hit the road."
Diwein nearly spat blood upward—if he still had blood to spit as a Spirit Body.
"Godwin!" He grimaced like a demon, "You will die a terrible death!"
Then finally exhausted the last of his strength, even the soul faded away, disappearing without a trace.
Yugen calmly tidied his lapels, speaking quietly at the spot where Diwein disappeared, "Thanks for the blessing, but it’s not necessary. He’s already died a terrible death."
Hmm, come to think of it, these two actually had somewhat similar fates. Godwin and Diwein were both killed in their own turf, both dying unable to close their eyes. These two tragic comrades might meet up in the Yellow Springs, share some victim tips at a table.
As usual, Yugen picked up Diwein’s Card Deck, quickly skimmed through it.
"As expected, it’s all Telekinesis..."
The Telekinesis Race did release some good cards later, but in this era, they were indeed a little lackluster. That’s also why he actually held no expectations for Diwein before the duel. Taking the opponent’s Deck was purely routine, initially not thinking the opponent had anything good.
This Emergency Instant Movement card was already an unexpected find, indeed a valuable card. Its value will continue to rise as the environment changes.
Regarding Synchro monsters, Diwein only had two cards in hand. One used in the duel just now was "Spiritual Realm Demon," and the other was a Five-Star Synchro, the Magic Power Artificial Human with an Attack Power of 2400. At the end of each turn, it can restore Life Points equal to the number of Telekinesis Monsters on its field x 600 points.
The latter isn’t very rare, but Spiritual Realm Demon is considered relatively rare in this world. An Attack Power of 2700 is decent, and besides the effect used in the duel here, which absorbs the Attack Power of monsters it destroys as Life Points, it also has another nice ability.
When a Telekinesis Race Monster becomes the target of a Magic Trap Card activation, paying 1000 Life Points can negate and destroy the activation. It’s like putting a layer of target resistance against Magic Trap on all its Telekinesis Monsters.
Of course, although its name is Demon, it is itself a Telekinesis Race, having this level of resistance too.
The main deck doesn’t have anything that would make one’s eyes light up.
Yugen proceeded down the hallway, arriving at Diwein’s room.
The door was locked, but of course, it couldn’t stop him. After unlocking it, he pushed the door open and entered.
The lighting was dim, giving an overall impression of a somewhat messy room, looking as if the owner had just moved in and hadn’t had time to tidy up.
Around the walls were rows of bookshelves, with various sculptures placed on both sides. Paintings hung above the shelves, seemingly valuable. Diwein appeared to be an art enthusiast.
"There should be a hidden door here," Yugen remarked.
The Silent Magician silently appeared and indicated one of the bookshelves with the Magic Staff.
"Behind this one?"
Yugen walked to the bookshelf, scrutinized it from top to bottom, and guessed the mechanism to open it was likely one of the books on the shelf. But as the shelf was packed densely with various books, he had no interest in trying them slowly one by one.
And of course, it wasn’t necessary.
Silent Magician muttered an incantation, the Magic Staff released a faint white light. The entire bookshelf was enveloped in the glow, like an invisible hand pushing the bookshelf silently aside, revealing a hidden door behind.
"My Silent Magician is amazing."
Yugen smiled, patting her head full of silver hair. Silent Magician blushed, pouted, avoided his hand, and looked elsewhere.
Yugen entered the hidden door; the space behind was small, essentially supposed to store the various classified information Diwein had collected.
Information could also be used as a weapon; for example, within this, Yugen found evidence of Godwin being born in the Satellite District.
Moreover, the intelligence controlled by Arcadia Movement was more than Yugen initially thought. Unexpectedly, he even found Taiyi’s name within it.
Diwein’s intelligence mentioned that the Public Security Maintenance Bureau’s Godwin was allegedly just a pawn, actually receiving orders from an organization called "Taiyi."
But they were still investigating the organization at the time, and hadn’t gathered much intelligence. Diwein speculated that Taiyi’s current goal was to control Red Dragon’s power, its forces being extremely large, perhaps aiming to conquer the world.
Of course, with the original reference, Yugen naturally knew that this was purely Diwein’s wild speculation. Taiyi was actually the ZONE God’s salvation organization established to amend history and prevent future ruin, all the talk about controlling Red Dragon’s power, conquering the world was nonsense.
Though saying the Public Security Maintenance Bureau was Taiyi’s pawn, that part was quite true.
As Yugen continued reading, he inadvertently raised his eyebrows.
Not only the intelligence collected, but even many of Diwein’s shady activities were documented here, like killing someone and framing it on his organization members, forcing them to come to him, his mind control evidence, or his human experiments that killed quite a few internal members...
These stored items were simply Diwein’s confessions.
