Dark had already sent a maid to investigate Stilwell Matt. Meanwhile, Ai Luli and Clarissa had risen to prepare.
In the upcoming third duel, she would face Cole Toynbee, the "Court Magician."
Nearby, Professor Harvey was explaining the "Isaac Sacrifice" to Professor Jones.
Elsewhere, the Holy Church contestants all wore grave expressions.
In the hidden private box, the Pope and the others each had different looks on their faces.
Abagon Moliere had indeed won, but he had violated a church taboo. No one knew how he would be dealt with afterward.
On the host's platform.
After loudly announcing the advancement of Abagon Moliere, the "Archbishop of the Holy Church," Marilyn began drawing the matchups for the fifth match. Dark had just looked up when he suddenly felt a stir in the Soul Bond. Immediately afterward, an incomparably immense psychic force surged in through the bond's connection.
His expression froze, and surprise appeared on his face.
He knew that the Cosmic Brain Monster had been active all along.
In Duel City, where countless Magic Spirits had gathered, "fat sheep" could be found everywhere.
The Cosmic Brain Monster's worry-relief shop offered good goods at fair prices and treated everyone honestly. It had already built quite a reputation.
It was precisely because of this that Dark's psychic power had skyrocketed to its current level over the past few days.
However, none of the previous increases compared to that last surge. "Who did it make a deal with?"
Dark could no longer hide his surprise.
He had never bothered to manage the Cosmic Brain Monster, because his psychic power was already sufficient for the time being.
Simply increasing its amount would not allow him to break through the various bottlenecks. Moreover, as Bliss V demonstrated, ultimate evolution had already touched the domain of gods.
