The Evil God finally realized it completely.
Yes, his backfield indeed had a Continuous Trap "Call of the Living Dead" used for reviving himself from the graveyard. Normally, it would only be used when the opponent launches an attack, because before entering the Battle Phase, the opponent has more actions available during the Main Phase. If he directly activates the Trap first, it might leave the opponent with more operational space.
As for the opponent directly using Trap destruction effects to clear the backfield, that's nothing to be afraid of either.
If Judai used "Great Storm" to destroy the backfield right at the start, the Evil God could chain it to activate "Call of the Living Dead."
Yes, Call of the Living Dead is a Continuous Trap. Normally, even if chained to the opponent's effect activation, the monster revived by Call of the Living Dead must be destroyed after it is destroyed; such an action is meaningless.
But that applies to reviving ordinary monsters. However, he was not aiming to revive an ordinary monster, but a God. As long as the Evil God successfully takes the field, it would no longer be affected by Trap effects. So, even if Call of the Living Dead is destroyed, it wouldn't lead to its self-destruction.
But the arrival of this Elemental HERO Cosmos Neos completely changed the situation. From the moment this Neos landed, the entire field was submerged into a Forbidden Field. His field seemed sealed, with no effects responding.
Complete silence!
And he immediately realized it was a noble player effect. "The opponent cannot activate any effects on the field," this phrase targets the player activating the effect, meaning the player can't issue effect-activating commands to their own cards. Even God, or a massive monster with Absolute Resistance, can't escape.
The Evil God gloomily said, "Indeed, a troublesome monster."
Judai said, "Then activate the Field Spell 'New Universe Space'!
Boost the attack power of Neos monsters on the field by 500!"
[Elemental HERO Cosmos Neos, Attack Power 3500→Attack Power 4000]
"Battle!" Judai said, "Elemental HERO Cosmos Neos, attack 'Supreme Sun'!"
A colorful ray converged into the hand that Neos raised above its head, with the swirl of radiant light spinning in its palm. The light condensed to its peak, and with a powerful palm strike from Neos, the dominating ray shattered the atmosphere, smashing into Supreme Sun head-on and shattering its body.
[Eraser, LP4000→LP3000]
"Turn finished." Judai said, "Since the Field Spell 'New Universe Space' is in play, 'Elemental HERO Cosmos Neos' does not need to return to the deck at the end of the turn."
"...My turn, draw."
The Evil God grumbled.
"During this turn's Standby Phase, the effect of 'Supreme Sun' in the graveyard activated... The sun is immortal!
Return to the field, Sun!"
The pitch-black flames burst through the ground, erupting skyward like a rising dark sun. That dark sun transformed once again into the form of a giant, whose entire armor seemed to be swallowing flames.
[Supreme Sun, Attack Power 3000]
"The sun is immortal," the Evil God gloomily said, "and so is this creature.
During my Standby Phase, when there are no Magic or Trap cards in my backfield, Special Summon this card from the graveyard back to the field.
Special Summon 'Yellow Springs Frog'!"
[Yellow Springs Frog, Defense Power 100]
"Activate the Magic Card 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll'. By removing three Magic Cards from the graveyard from play, I can draw two cards from my deck.
I banish the Magic Cards 'Sacrificial Burial Goods', 'Netherworld's Treasure Scroll', and 'Dark Sun' from the graveyard from play, and draw two cards!"
"Speed Attack Magic 'Continuous Magic'! Discard all cards in the hand to copy the effect of a recently activated Magic Card." The Evil God said, "Copy the effect of 'Burial Spell Treasure Scroll', so I can draw two more cards without paying the cost!"
The Evil God drew two more cards.
"You might think your counterattack was magnificent, that you outsmarted me?"
The Evil God said coldly.
"No, your struggle only infuriated me, and you will deeply regret angering me shortly!
Activate the Magic Card 'Resurrection of the Dead', discarding one card from hand, returning a Monster Card from the graveyard to hand.
Of course, I will be returning myself, Evil God Eraser!"
The Evil God discarded one card from his hand, retrieved himself from the graveyard.
"Then I'll give you this card—"
The Evil God drew out a card from his hand, shouting.
"Special Summon 'Torture Giant' to your field, in Defense Position!"
The silver, steel giant was summoned on Judai's field, resembling a Lava Demon God with a full set of armor, with a body covered in sharp claws and steel serrations.
[Torture Giant, Defense Power 300]
Judai felt his heart tighten. Yugen and Yubel both favored this monster, and Judai naturally couldn't fail to recognize it. He knew clearly it was a powerful giant monster with wide utility, though typically appearing on the opponent's field.
If it were a physical card, the Torture Giant would prevent normal summoning during the turn it was summoned. But the animation carried no such restriction, making the risk smaller and its utility stronger.
"By Special Summoning Torture Giant on the opponent's field, I can Special Summon two 'Torture Derivatives' in Attack Position on my field."
[Torture Derivative, Attack Power 0] x2
Judai: "Once more, a sufficient number of tributes and yet no Normal Summon has been used..."
"Correct!"
The Evil God laughed loudly.
"I sacrifice the two Torture Derivatives and Yellow Springs Frog, three monsters! Descend once again, engulf this world in complete Void-
——Evil God Eraser, Summon!!!"
Boundless darkness converged again, forming that ominous image. As if endless darkness and void constituted a Demon Body, darkness surged out like a tide, swallowing light and hope alike.
[Evil God Eraser, Attack Power?]
"Evil God Eraser's Attack Power becomes the number of cards on the opponent's field x1000 points," said the Evil God, "Now there are New Universe Space, Cosmos Neos, and Torture Giant on your field, making the Attack Power 3000!"
[Evil God Eraser, Attack Power?→Attack Power 3000]
Judai said, "The Attack Power is still less than Cosmos Neos..."
Yubel said, "But that god has the terrifying ability to annihilate everything. As soon as he launches a suicidal attack, everything on the field will be wiped clean. And the Supreme Sun will regenerate next turn..."
"Ha ha, no need for that hassle." The Evil God sneered, "I said it before, you will regret having angered me. Today, you'll witness the evolution beyond God!
Activate the Magic Card 'Divine Evolution'!
Promote the divine rank of 'Evil God Eraser'!"
Judai x Yubel: "Nani!?"
This was yet another blind spot in their knowledge.
What on earth? Can divine rank be promoted?
As though to engulf the entire universe into the abyss of a Black Hole, terrifying energies wrapped Evil God Eraser in the densest darkness. The Demon Body was seemingly scattered into countless luminous particles fluctuating in the dark, spinning like stars dancing upon the cosmic sea, and in rotating, reassembling into a terrifying cyclone!
The space was torn asunder, with dark glimmers piercing layer over layer of darkness, reassembling once more into the figure of the Evil God, enormous and majestic far beyond the previous. Sharp claws left dark scars in space, while the lengthy tail, swinging, shook the earth.
Evil God Eraser, evolve!
