Millennium World|35|ref}}</ref> He assured Atem, who was distraught over learning of the [[Kul Elna massacre]] , that the massacre took place without [[Akhenamkhanen (manga)|Akhenamkhanen]]'s knowledge. He confessed to bringing the news of the massacre to Akhenamkhanen, resulting in his sickness and death.<ref name="mw d 36" />

Mahado used his "Afterworld Warp" ability creating portals to absorb and redirect an attack from Diabound. Atem reminded him of Diabound's evasiveness, so Mahado directed the attack at a pillar, causing it to fall towards the [[Millennium Stone|Tablet of the Pharaoh's Memories]]. Bakura needed the tablet and coped their tactic, so he had Diabound to catch the pillar. With Diabound unable to use its wall-phasing ability without dropping the pillar, Mahado took the opportunity to hit it in the eye with a "Magic Blast" attack.<ref name="mw d 36" /> Mahado attempted to strike again, but Diabound broke the pillar and used its fragments as a shield.<ref name="mw d 37">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World|37|ref}}</ref> When Diabound used its "Shadow Camouflage" ability to make itself invisible, Mahado used his "Thousand Magic Blasts" attack to pierce the ceiling, causing light from outside to expose Diabound's location. He then hit Diabound with a "Thousand Black Magic Blasts" attack.<ref name="mw d 37" />
