Magic Card - Divine Evolution!
As soon as this card appears, the atmosphere on the field changes once more. A transparent black tornado roars across the field, dark lightning constantly striking down, an invisible storm of darkness enveloping the Evil God at the center, accompanied by roars.
Judai and Seto Kaiba both have a slight change in their expressions.
They have both faced the Evil God before and already know of the existence of this card, so it is naturally not unfamiliar.
An Upper Magic with the ability to elevate the Divine Tier!
Although it is unknown where these Evil Gods obtained such an item, the power it brings is genuine. The Eraser might originally be considered inferior among the divine in the battle between the Phantom Gods and Evil Gods, but if it receives an upgrade from Divine Evolution, it should qualify to battle the Winged Divine Dragon.
Just like how Atom once used Divine Evolution to raise the tier of a lower Phantom God, enabling it to wound the highest-tiered Evil God: Divine Incarnation.
"Use Divine Evolution to elevate the tier of the Eraser!"
The powerful dark tornado enveloped the Eraser, and its aura soared several levels. The Eraser's eyes flashed with red light, as it roared fiercely with its head thrown back. Its sharp claws shattered the earth, and with the enhanced aura, its height seemed to grow taller.
Originally, it dared not raise its head before the Winged Divine Dragon, seeming a lot shorter in comparison. But now it felt capable, standing tall and unafraid to meet its opponent's gaze.
[Evil God Eraser, Attack Power 2000→Attack Power 3000]
"The Evil Gods that have evolved have both their Attack Power and Defense Power increased by 1000 points," the Evil God said, "Engage in battle, use Evil God Eraser to attack the 'Winged Divine Dragon of Ra'!"
Even though its power has been enhanced, the Eraser's attack power still cannot match the Winged Divine Dragon. Yet no one on the field questions this attack command.
Because the evolved god possesses absolute power that cannot be countered or resisted!
"Divine Evolution has granted the Eraser a new ability!" the Evil God declared, "When the Evil God Eraser declares an attack, the opponent must choose one of their monsters on the field to send to the graveyard!"
Let alone that the Eraser's divine tier might be enough to injure the Winged Divine Dragon, this effect is unrelated to divine tier or resistance. Even Seto's All-Resistant Ultimate Dragon couldn't withstand it.
Yugen currently only has one Winged Divine Dragon on the field, obviously leaving him no choice but to send the Phantom God to the graveyard.
But...
"At this moment, I discard 'Anka Chestnut Ball' from my hand, and activate its effect!"
The other two Evil Gods weren't too concerned, only Root of Fear's eyelid twitched at this moment.
Chestnut Ball!?
He had just been screwed over by Seto Kaiba pulling out a Chestnut Ball as a last resort, and now there seemed to be a slight PTSD...
But the Chestnut Ball family is valiant and this one wasn't the same as the one he had just encountered.
Yugen said, "Anka Chestnut Ball can only be activated when the opponent declares an attack. Choose any one monster from the graveyard to Special Summon onto the field, but no matter which monster is summoned, it must be sent to the graveyard at the end phase."
Ordinarily, this is a card used to block attacks and save one's life. It temporarily summons a monster from the graveyard to block an attack when the opponent declares an attack, but regardless of what is summoned, at the end of the turn it will return to the graveyard, allowing the resurrected monster no long-term presence.
But now the situation is obviously different.
"I revive the 'Black Forest Witch' from the graveyard onto the field." Yugen smiled.
The black-robed witch closed her eyes gently, stepping out slowly from the vortex of the graveyard, standing quietly on the field once again.
[Black Forest Witch, Attack Power 1100]
The Evil God's expression changed slightly: "You intend to use such a minion to replace the Winged Divine Dragon..."
"Following the effect activation order, 'Anka Chestnut Ball's' effect is processed first, so I Special Summon the Black Forest Witch from the graveyard.
Afterwards, the new effect of the Eraser that was just activated follows; I must choose a monster on the field to send to the graveyard."
Yugen chuckled softly and said,
"The Player Effect is indeed irresistible. Since it affects me as a Duelist, none of my monsters, divine or possessing absolute resistance, can fend it off.
However, the downside is that the choice of which monster to send to the graveyard is also in the hands of the opponent's player."
Yugen pointed at the witch who had just returned to the field.
"I send the 'Black Forest Witch' to the graveyard."
The Evil God gritted its teeth, but as Yugen said, it couldn't interfere with the effect processing's target. If Yugen only had the Winged Divine Dragon, they could guarantee its destruction, but in this crucial moment, he brought out a minion to take the hit, leaving them helpless.
But that's not all. As the Black Forest Witch got dragged back into the graveyard by the Evil God's darkness, a magical spell burst in midair, transforming into energy that shot into Yugen's Card Deck.
"At this instant, the Black Forest Witch's Monster Effect also activates," Yugen said, "When the witch is sent to the graveyard, add a monster with 1500 defense points or less to the hand from the deck... This effect was already used in this duel, surely the Evil Gods haven't forgotten it already?"
The Evil God's face looked grim.
Yugen drew the card automatically retrieved from his deck, saying, "I add 'Silent Mage Zero' with 1000 defense points to my hand from the deck."
Judai praised, "Not only did he avoid sending the Winged Divine Dragon to the graveyard, but he also utilized the opponent's effect to gain another deck search opportunity...
Excellent work, Yugen!"
Without turning his head, Yugen casually waved in Judai's direction, as if to say, "Stay calm, stay calm, basic operation."
A simple gesture, yet it vividly deepened his disdainful attitude towards the Evil Gods, exuding a calmness as if dealing with these three is merely a matter of lifting a finger.
It was no surprise that the Evil Gods grew even more furious.
"Your monster count on the field has changed, combat is nullified."
The Evil God suppressed its anger and said,
"I will not attack."
The Eraser grew agitated: "Boss, I think I can take it down!"
Now, the Eraser felt invincible. With its evolution, it felt inflated, capable of a suicide attack to let the Winged Divine Dragon eliminate it, believing that its dying effects would be sufficient to take the Winged Divine Dragon down with it.
Going one-on-one with the highest-tier Phantom God!
Yet, the other two Evil Gods merely glanced at it mockingly, as if looking at an idiot.
Fool.
We're left with just a thousand life points, and if you, useless one, rush up and die, what chance of a one-for-one would be left?
We'd all be taken down solo by the Winged Divine Dragon.
The Divine Incarnation ignored it, silently drawing another card from its hand.
"Speed Attack Magic 'Mysterious Chinese Pot.' Sacrifice a monster on the field to recover its attack or defense points as Life Points."
The Divine Incarnation expressionlessly pointed towards the Eraser on the field.
"Cook up this fool and gain its attack power as Life Points."
The Eraser: "???"
