The next day...
Maximillion Pegasus rushed over first thing in the morning. The moment he saw the Dimension Cube, he couldn't tear his eyes away.
Only after Tobirama reminded him did he look away and introduce himself to Diva.
Over the next few days, Maximillion Pegasus became utterly engrossed, immersing himself in his research every waking moment.
Only when Tetsuhiro reminded him did he remember that the rules still needed to be drawn up. But he had no interest in that now.
He immediately contacted Kaiba and gave him full authority to design the rules, while he reluctantly returned to Beautiful Country to accelerate work on the Shinobi World cards, Light Dragon, and the Sacred Beasts cards.
With Maximillion Pegasus working flat out and Yotsuki and Xingyue lending their combined efforts, the Sacred Beasts were created.
Fate really did love playing tricks. Because Maximillion Pegasus was so obsessed with the Dimension Cube, Yotsuki still ended up under the evil gods' control.
This time, he wanted to kill Xingyue. Fortunately, Maximillion Pegasus happened to catch him in the act, and the two began trading blasts of energy.
Although Maximillion Pegasus was at full strength, he couldn't withstand the power of all three evil gods. If Tetsuhiro hadn't sensed his life force weakening and rushed over to help, he would have died at his own adopted son's hands.
What a slippery twist of fate...
This also served as a wake-up call for Maximillion Pegasus: becoming so obsessed with something that he neglected everything else could lead to disaster.
While he was coming to his senses, Madara, who had come along, had already entered Yotsuki's Mindscape.
"Consciousness entities?" A rare smile appeared on Madara's face.
"Finally, someone worth fighting. Hashirama, stay right there. I'm taking on these three so-called evil gods myself!"
