Deceitful Mage, summon!
Evil God said: "Right from the start, it's an Upper-Level Monster?"
"If this level is worthy of surprise, then I must look down on you three brothers even more." Yugen said, "The card I just discarded to the graveyard is the Speed Attack Magic 'Silent Magic Burst.'"
The card from Yugen's graveyard rose, displayed by him in hand.
"Banishing the Speed Attack Magic 'Silent Magic Burst' from the game allows me to add Silent Magician from the deck to my hand."
Yugen's deck automatically searches, and a card shining with golden light pops out, drawn by Yugen into his hand.
"I add 'True Silent Magician' from the deck to my hand."
Evil God also noticed that Yugen was summoning and searching with Mage Race cards.
"Mage." Evil God said, "Heh, these little magicians are just a race that seeks to show off with mere tricks.
You don't think of confronting a god with mere magicians, do you?"
"Mere magicians, huh?" Yugen smiled lightly. "Let's see if that's the case, why don't you feel it yourself, Evil God.
I normally summon 'Black Forest Witch' in Attack Position."
The witch in a black robe, with eyes gently closed, fingers entwined as if in a silent prayer.
[Black Forest Witch, Attack Power 1100]
"The 'True Silent Magician' in my hand cannot be normally summoned, only Special Summoned by sacrificing Mage Race monsters on the field.
I sacrifice 'Black Forest Witch' on the field!
Silent wings that carry hope, Light Magician, appear here—
—True Silent Magician, summon!"
The witch transforms into light points and dissipates, but a white light array appears under foot. The dazzling light condenses into a fluttering magic robe, silver strands of hair, the figure of a mage in a white robe lightly spinning, gently landing on the suspended array.
[True Silent Magician, Attack Power 1000]
"Elf, already making an appearance."
Evil God's eyes narrowed, looking at Silent, then at Yugen, sneering.
"Hey, you kid sure have a lot of elves. Eliminate you, your power, all these elves would become our nourishment."
"Is that so? Then good luck to you."
Yugen smiled indifferently and continued.
"Black Forest Witch, activate Monster Effect.
When the witch is sent to the graveyard, a monster with Defense Power below 1500 can be added to the hand from the deck."
Yugen's deck performs another search, and another Monster Card pops out. Yugen pinches the card between his fingers and gives it a little shake.
"From the deck, I add this card with Defense Power 1500, Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator to my hand."
With a follow-up, Yugen inserts a Magic Card into the back row slot.
"Magic Card 'Double Summon', allowing me to perform a second normal summon this turn.
Therefore, I sacrifice 'Deceitful Mage'!"
Immediately, Yugen took Deceitful Mage off the duel disc, replacing it with Artificial Human on the corresponding monster zone.
"Telekinesis King, Trap Breaker—
—Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, summon!"
Deceitful Mage's body disperses, transparent red electric sparks exploding. Dark red mechanical eyes light up, the alloy-bodied artificial human floats in mid-air, telekinesis waves enveloping the entire field.
[Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator, Attack Power 2400]
"No longer a mage, an Artificial Human..."
Evil God's eyes flashed with cold light.
This... is also an elf!
Evil God starts to get greedy.
This guy indeed has a lot of elves, winning this battle promises a huge bounty. Devouring this guy and all these elves might just give the three brothers a major boost.
"End of the turn."
Yugen ended the setup of the first round, gesturing "Please."
Evil God: "My turn, draw a card."
Evil God looked at the hand, then said faintly.
"Last time I was careless, the outside world also restricted the display of my power.
But now, no longer. Since you have the courage to come to the realm of the gods, prepare to face the god's wrath."
Evil God unveiled a card in hand.
"Activate Magic Card 'Soul Capturer'! Destroy a monster on the opponent's field. The opponent can restore 1000 life points!"
Evil God squinted, examined the two monsters on Yugen's field for a while.
The gaze then settled on Artificial Human.
Soga, originally with arms folded and calm, suddenly lost composure, lowered arms, feeling something amiss.
Bad, finally appearing once more, might it end in tragedy again immediately...
"Heh, I recall this guy seems to be a monster that nullifies all trap abilities, quite a troublesome case." Evil God said, "Then let's start with you.
Destroy 'Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator'!"
Soga had a face of grief.
I knew it, I truly knew it...
But...
"Kida!"
Yugen snapped his fingers. A bouquet of white light rises in the Evil God's back row like binding magic chains wrapped around that Magic Card. The card's surface immediately dimmed, as if drained of magic power, wilting like a withered flower, shattered.
"Nani?"
Evil God's expression shifted slightly, soon locked gaze on Yugen's Silent in the field.
Only to see the mage in a white robe with a magic staff pointing towards him, white light flickering on the staff, a hint of steadfastness on a cool face.
"So, that's the magician's ability, huh?"
"Indeed." Yugen said, "True Silent Magician is a Light Magician with Magic Restriction ability, once per turn nullifying the activation of a magic card.
I used Silent's power to nullify the activation of Soul Capturer!"
Soga couldn't help but cast a grateful look towards Silent.
Evil God sneered.
"Alright, troublesome mage, then the first thing in my agenda is to resolve you."
Evil God's eyes narrowed, scanned over the two monsters on Yugen's field.
"I see. True Silent Magician nullifies magic powers. While Artificial Human - Telekinesis Intimidator stands as a Telekinesis King with absolute trap restriction...
Demon and Trap Double Seal!
At this moment, Evil God completely saw that the opponent directly laid out this dual seal formation at the start, which greatly restricts the use of his magic traps, truly cunning.
But he is the strongest Evil God, if this level is deemed enough to block his actions, they are belittling him too much.
Evil God revealed another card in hand.
"Then activate the effect of hand card 'Fallen Angel Ishtar'! Send this card and another Fallen Angel in hand to the graveyard, draw two cards from the deck!"
Evil God discards two cards, then replaces them, drawing two more.
"Then activate the Magic Card 'Handwriting Erasure'.
Both sides discard all cards in hand, then draw the same number of cards from the deck."
Yugen and Evil God discard remaining hand cards together, then draw new cards from the deck.
"This level of sealing has no impact on a god's duel. Let this matter be understood now!"
Evil God shouted.
"Activate the Magic Card 'Fallen Angel's Altar'! Revive a Fallen Angel Monster from the graveyard onto the field!
I revive from the graveyard the card just discarded by 'Handwriting Erasure'—"
Evil God pulled the monster card out of the graveyard.
"'Fallen Angel Subbia', summon!"
