Evil God Eraser, evolve!
"Divine Evolution can elevate the status of a god!" the Evil God roared, "The evolved god gains 1000 points in both Attack Power and Defense Power!"
[Evil God Eraser, Attack Power 3000→Attack Power 4000]
"Battle Phase!"
As the Evil God declared the battle phase, Yubel gravely said, "It's coming, Judai."
"Ah, I know." Judai prepared himself.
Evil God: "First, 'Supreme Sun' attacks 'Torture Giant'!"
Though Torture Giant's Attack Power is equal to Supreme Sun's, its attack and defense position was decided by the Evil God upon summoning. Currently, Torture Giant is in defense mode, with a Defense Power of merely 300. And even if it were in attack mode and clashed with Supreme Sun, the result wouldn't differ; Supreme Sun automatically resurrects in the next turn.
Supreme Sun's black flame blasted out, effortlessly piercing through Torture Giant's steel body, turning the latter into ashes.
"Then Evil God Eraser attacks 'Elemental HERO Cosmos Neos'!"
"Attack power is equal... is it going to trigger Eraser's ability?" Judai remarked.
But the Evil God laughed heartily.
"No, I've already achieved a further evolution now!
Evil God Eraser has obtained further abilities through 'Divine Evolution'!
When the evolved god declares an attack, the opponent must choose one of their monsters on the field to send to the graveyard!"
Judai & Yubel: "!"
Must choose a monster on their field... This is bad.
Currently, they only have Cosmos Neos left on the field.
"Indeed, you are thus forced to send 'Elemental HERO Cosmos Neos' to the graveyard!" said the Evil God, "Perish under the power of a god, Neos!"
A giant vortex of darkness opened up above Neos, as if an obsidian hand reached out, grabbing Neos's arms, and without hesitation, it pulled him into the darkness, as if swallowed by the Void.
Judai gritted his teeth, saying, "However, since Torture Giant and Neos have left the field, only 'New Universe Space' remains on my field.
The Attack Power of Evil God Eraser also decreases!"
[Evil God Eraser, Attack Power 4000→Attack Power 2000]
The Evil God's domineering attack surged forth, the wave of darkness swept over Judai. Judai staggered back two steps, biting his lip, smoke rising from his body.
[Judai, LP4000→ LP2000]
Yubel voiced his worry: "Judai!"
"I'm fine..."
Judai waved his hand, struggling to smile.
"No doubt about it, the touch of the Evil God is not to be taken lightly. But then..."
He straightened up, lightly chuckling.
"What I've been entrusted with is not easily defeated."
Yubel had a complex expression: "Judai..."
"It's my turn, draw a card."
Judai drew a card.
"Activate Magic Card 'Hero's Legacy'. When there are three or more Elemental HEROES of Four-Star or above in the graveyard, draw three cards from the deck!" (Original effect)
Judai drew three more cards.
Upon seeing the card he drew, he momentarily lost focus.
Staring at the card in his hand, he seemed to hear the voice of the recently departed comrade echoing in his ears.
"Advance towards the future, Yuki Judai."
"..."
After a moment, Judai smiled openly.
"So that's it... you're encouraging me again," Judai muttered to himself, "Don't worry, the promise we made, I'll never forget."
"Never."
Yubel: "Judai, you..."
Judai looked up, his eyes still a resolute golden color, carrying the aura of a ruler.
"Activate Magic Card 'E Emergency Assistance', adding any 'Elemental HERO' from the deck to my hand.
I'm adding 'Elemental HERO Neos' from the deck to my hand."
A card glowing with a golden light popped out of Judai's deck, which he pulled into his hand.
"Next, I activate Magic Card 'Fake Hero' from my hand," Judai said, "Fake Hero allows me to Special Summon any 'Elemental HERO' monster from my hand directly to the field.
But the monster summoned by this effect can't attack, and returns to the hand at the end of the turn.
Appear, my soul!
Elemental HERO Neos!"
[Elemental HERO Neos, Attack Power 2500]
"The Neos that returned to the deck after fusion? It seems this is your most important monster," the Evil God sneered, "But at this point, what can such a monster achieve?
Especially since it's summoned and can't attack, needing to return to the hand at the end of the turn..."
Judai said calmly, "Of course, the goal is to end it in this turn."
Evil God: "What?"
Judai didn't explain further, but slowly and solemnly drew another card from his hand.
"I discard one card from my hand, and activate this card from my hand.
The ultimate fusion card entrusted to me by my best friend——
——Speed Attack Magic 'Super Fusion'!!!"
The moment that card was activated, the entire domain of the Evil God underwent violent tremors. It was as if the surrounding chaos itself was whipped into complete turmoil, an explosion of lightning and thunder bursting into the sky, a vast black hole seemingly intent on swallowing all things.
"What... is this power!?" the Evil God's abstract face contorted, "This card again, just what is this card....!?"
"This card is the future entrusted to me by a friend who sacrificed everything!"
Judai shouted.
"This bond is strong enough to transcend all, even gods are no exception!
Super Fusion can fuse any monsters on the field, whether they belong to me or my opponent.
I will fuse my 'Elemental HERO Neos' with your 'Evil God Eraser'!"
Evil God: "?!!?"
What is this?
Are you serious about... fusing me!?
I, the mighty Evil God, you dare to...!?
But this seemingly absurd act really happened. Under Super Fusion, all beings are equal, even gods cannot escape. The horrifying gravity captured the Evil God's true form, that colossal suction power pulling the Evil God fiercely toward the black hole in the sky.
The Evil God screamed sharply.
"You're kidding me!?"
"I'm a god! How can I be... how can I be..."
"What is this card all about!?!"
Indeed, not even gods can resist. Super Fusion is a fusion power that surpasses all, with no regard for friend or foe, and cannot be countered. Moreover, even evolved gods are subject to "must accept the effect of Magic Cards for one turn," not absolutely immune to magic.
Especially when it comes to Super Fusion, which is also a Divine Level magic.
The Fusion Materials are Elemental HERO Neos and Evil God Eraser.
Judai looked up, watching Neos and the Evil God simultaneously appear in that black hole-like vortex, watching the fusion monster conjured by the power of Super Fusion that originally didn't exist.
And within that erupted brilliance, he seemed to vaguely see...
Overlord?
The black majestic armor, the fiery red cape, the commanding presence of a king, and the look directed at him seemed to carry a hint of approval, a trace of relief...
No, it's not an illusion.
It truly was the overlord's signature black armor. However, as the brilliance faded and the outline became clear, it appeared as though Neos had donned that overlord armor, transforming into the overlord's stance.
[Evil Heart Hero: Neo Dominator, Attack Power 2500]
The fusion condition is, Elemental HERO Neos, plus any Effect Monster on the field.
Even an Evil God, under the rule determination, belongs to the "Effect Monster" category.
The Evil God on the opposite side was already stunned.
I... was fused?
So in the end, did I betray myself, or was I kidnapped by the opponent?
But there was no opportunity given to ponder this philosophical question.
Judai continued: "Evil Heart Hero: Neo Dominator's effect.
When this card is Special Summoned, you can select one monster on the opponent's field and take control of it!
I will take control of 'Supreme Sun'!"
Evil God: "???"
Took me, yet it's not enough, not even sparing the sun?
Then witness Neo Dominator spread its massive hand, a gargantuan darkness erupted from its palm.
Come to me!
Supreme Sun was enshrouded in darkness and was also brought over to Judai's field.
"You must be joking... You must be joking... You must be joking..."
The Evil God was on the verge of madness.
"How can this be happening!?"
Judai gave a significant look at the Neo Dominator on the field, that shadow resembling an old friend, and smiled lightly.
"Thanks, I owe you one."
Then opened his golden eyes wide, commanding.
"Supreme Sun, direct attack on the Evil God!"
[Eraser, LP3000→ LP0]
