"Although it's rare to summon a Phantom God, after all, I gave it to you, my field is still blank... sigh, there's no help for it, I am generous and kind after all."
Yugen shook his head helplessly.
Three Evil Gods: "..."
"Anyway, if I'm attacked in the next turn, it'll be dangerous." Yugen said, "So to be safe, I'll activate this facedown card.
Magic Card 'Temporary Truce'. Both sides draw one card from their card deck, but until the end of the next opponent's turn, all damage we both receive becomes 0."
As both sides drew cards from their card deck, a truce agreement appeared suspended in the air on the field. A faint golden glow slowly descended to shield both fields.
The Divine Incarnation looked cold.
Even the next turn's attack is sealed off...
"Turn ends." Yugen said.
The Evil God said gloomily, "My turn, draw card."
He glanced over his hand cards.
At this time, his hand wasn't rich, and there wasn't much room to maneuver. Moreover, this turn was under the cover of Temporary Truce, unable to inflict any battle damage.
It seemed that prioritizing defense was the only option.
However...
The Evil God looked up, glancing at the bare egg floating high in his field, then at the other side, appearing composed as if in total control, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
No way, he couldn't stand it. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became.
Thus, the Evil God's eyes widened in anger, "Battle! Winged Divine Dragon of Ra direct attack! Attack for me!!!"
Clearly, this attack had no meaning. The egg's Attack Power was 0, and even if it wasn't 0, under Temporary Truce, no battle damage could be dealt.
Thus, this attack might simply be for venting.
In his arena, there's a big shiny egg, at least he should use this chance to let out some steam against this darn Winged Divine Dragon.
However, it was of no use.
The spherical Winged Divine Dragon seemed as if its hearing was impaired, floating calmly in the sky without any response.
"Why!?" The Evil God roared, "Could a Phantom God openly defy the rules!?"
Of course, he knew this was impossible; any existence on the dueling field must obey the rules.
"Lord Evil God, calm down." Yugen smiled, "But the spherical form of the Winged Divine Dragon doesn't possess offensive capabilities, demanding it to attack is beyond its capabilities.
The Winged Divine Dragon's spherical form cannot declare an attack, nor can it become the target of an opponent's attack or card effect."
This means that even though the egg exists on the Evil God's field, Yugen cannot attack it either.
The Evil God let out a frustrated grunt.
"Set one card, ending the turn."
However, just as he declared the end of his turn.
The sacred golden sphere in the air slowly moved, brazenly flying back to the opponent's field to float there quietly on Yugen's side.
The Evil God: "!"
What on earth was happening now?
"Oh, the spherical form of the Winged Divine Dragon will return to the original owner's field at the end stage of the turn after it is summoned." Yugen said.
The Evil God: "..."
"Then it's my turn, draw card." Yugen raised his hand, "This turn, I'll unleash the god's true form!
The ever-changing fire of heaven and earth transform into eternal light illuminating the earth—
—Winged Divine Dragon spherical form, transform!"
In fact, Yugen was just trying.
The effect of the Winged Divine Dragon spherical form is to use this card as a sacrifice to directly Special Summon the Winged Divine Dragon itself from the card deck... However, Yugen's deck originally didn't have a Winged Divine Dragon card.
Back when facing the Overlord, Yugen tried to activate this effect, but the Winged Divine Dragon paid him no heed, so nothing happened.
But Yugen didn't mind at all, thinking it's worth a try with no loss. If it comes, that's great; if not, he'll think of a new plan.
However, this time, he felt the opportunity was quite promising. After all, the opponent was Three Evil Gods, and the Winged Divine Dragon's appearance was by using the trio of Evil Gods as sacrifices; there's no reason it wouldn't appear.
Sure enough, the golden sphere in mid-air began to stir. Those once perfectly smooth spherical surfaces appeared with cracks, each one bursting with divine rays like the sun.
At the same time, the mini Millennium Puzzle shape appeared out of nowhere on Yugen's chest. A golden light flew from the Divine Artifact, suspended above him like a phantom image of a majestic king, eyes shut tight, arms crossed over the chest, seemingly reciting a spell softly.
This was the program written inside the Sealing Artifact, calling down the god. What it recites is the Ancient Priestly Texts needed for the descent of the Winged Divine Dragon.
Even Kaiba outside the field couldn't help but be moved.
This guy is actually about to summon a god again...
"Supreme Illusion God, Winged Divine Dragon of Ra, descend!"
The golden sphere opened entirely, and its former spherical golden shell mostly transformed into resplendent wings. The Winged Divine Dragon unfolded its sun-like radiance, seeming to have illuminated the earth since ancient times.
[Winged Divine Dragon of Ra, Attack Power?]
"The effect of the spherical form, through sacrificing the Winged Divine Dragon spherical form to summon the Winged Divine Dragon of Ra," Yugen said, "the Attack Power becomes four thousand points!"
[Winged Divine Dragon of Ra, Attack Power 4000]
The three Evil God brothers also started to stir.
Eraser: "It's really here! Big brother, it's truly that Phantom God! It hasn't disappeared completely..."
The Divine Incarnation coldly said, "I see, I'm not blind."
Root of Fear said gravely, "Not only Obelisk, but even Ra is still here..."
The situation had entirely diverged from their previous expectations.
Now among the Three Phantom Gods, only Osiris hadn't resurfaced in the world.
Of course, it was also possible that the other two brothers despised the traitor Celestial Pit Dragon and didn't include him in their play...
"Winged Divine Dragon of Ra, direct attack." Yugen declared, "Divine Breath Flame Cannon!"
Golden streams of light converged behind the Winged Divine Dragon, forming a burning sphere, like a miniature sun. The surging current of energy filled the Winged Divine Dragon's open mouth, with light and heat gathered to the extreme, finally transforming into a Flame Cannon that pierced through the void and blasted out!
This rendered the Evil God's field empty, about to face the direct hit of the Phantom God.
Eraser fretted, "Big brother!"
"Shut up!" The Divine Incarnation said, "Activate the cover card!
Trap Card 'Holy Spear'!
When the opponent's monster declares an attack, restore Life Points equal to that monster's Attack Power!"
[Evil God, LP2000→ LP6000]
The next moment, the fiery blast from the Winged Divine Dragon almost scattered the trio's dueling projections. Evil God's shadow shrieked as it was engulfed in the golden vortex, nearly torn to pieces.
[Evil God, LP6000→ LP2000]
The impact of the Supreme Illusion God's cannon wasn't child's play, with four thousand points of damage output. Even the Evil God brothers were blasted to where their duel shadow almost vanished.
But at least in terms of the duel, they endured it, Life Points remained unchanged.
"The trap couldn't affect the god, so they countered the attack through Life Point recovery. Not bad."
Yugen smiled.
"Then I'll set a card facedown, ending the turn."
