Chapter 717

"With the effect of Monster Reborn, I return 'The Wicked Dreadroot' to my hand."

The Wicked God laughed gloomily.

"Now, I believe I don't need to say what happens next, President Seto Kaiba?"

Kaiba's expression remained as expressionless as before, only saying coldly: "Cut the talk, bring it on if you're going to."

"Heh, so confident. Good, very good. Then let me smash you, along with your Blue-Eyes and that confidence of yours, into pieces!"

The Wicked God played another card from his hand.

"First, the Continuous Spell 'Card of Sanctity from the Underworld'.

As long as this card is on the field, every time two or more monsters are used as Offerings for a Tribute Summon, I can draw two cards from my deck!"

With all preparations complete, the Wicked God's phantom arm raised high, two fingers pinching that key card.

"Tributing the three 'Dimension Pots' on the field, I once again gather the ultimate fear of the world, making this world tremble for me—

—The Wicked Dreadroot, summon!"

The three Dimension Pots were ground into powder once more, and a massive darkness was summoned, descending from the sky like a pitch-black waterfall. Following this, the dark radiance was dispersed, and the Wicked God's giant shadow descended from the sky for the second time, letting out a provocative roar toward the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon that had defeated him before.

【The Wicked Dreadroot, ATK 4000】

"At this moment, the effect of 'Card of Sanctity from the Underworld' activates; because I used two or more monsters as Offerings for a Tribute Summon, I draw two cards from my deck!"

The Wicked God drew two cards.

Kaiba said: "It's the same no matter how many times you try; the Wicked God's power doesn't work on my Ultimate Dragon.

While True Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is in the Graveyard, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon cannot be targeted by the opponent's card effects, nor is it affected by any of the opponent's card effects."

The Wicked God hummed: "Certainly, that's good resistance. But if you think such resistance means you're invincible, then you are far too naive, President Seto Kaiba."

Kaiba frowned.

Cannot be targeted by card effects, and cannot be affected by effects. Calling such resistance invincible is indeed too absolute, but it is already close. Even a God's effect would not work on the current Ultimate Dragon.

Could it be that the opponent already has a way to break through so quickly?

"The power of God is boundless; now I will make you realize that!"

The Wicked God slowly drew a card from his hand.

For some reason, even before that card was played, Kaiba felt as if he had sensed something from it.

A pulsing of power, as if that card were echoing with the Wicked God on the field, as if that demon were stirring.

"Activate Spell Card—

—God's Evolution!!!"

The moment the card was inserted into the Duel Disk, the heavens and earth changed color.

The dark space began to tremble, and the earth seemed ready to shatter. A force that shook the world erupted from within the Wicked God, and darkness like ink was released toward the sky.

And compared to the visual impact, what was even more terrifying was the Wicked God's aura.

Kaiba could feel it, his Ultimate Dragon could feel it, and even let out an uneasy dragon roar.

The God's aura was expanding!

Even Kaiba couldn't help but lose his composure, his expression changing slightly as he said: "You... is that a card that can raise a God's rank?" The Wicked God laughed loudly.

"Not bad! After all, you were once a man who commanded the Egyptian Gods; that is exactly right, Seto Kaiba." The Wicked God laughed, "God's Evolution is a specialized Spell that only a God is qualified to use!

The activation of this card cannot be negated, its effects cannot be negated, and it ignores the restriction that 'Gods only accept the effects of Spells for one turn'. It is a Godly Spell capable of raising one's rank!"

Most duelists in the outside world don't know this, only knowing that Gods are the pinnacle of the Duel Realm, but Kaiba, who was once a God-user himself, knew very well that even among the Egyptian Gods, there were differences in rank.

Obelisk's rank is higher than Osiris, but generally speaking, the two are similar. And the Winged Dragon of Ra's abilities are higher than both, being the pinnacle among the Egyptian Gods.

And God's Evolution was actually a card that could change one's rank.

In fact, this card appeared years ago, designed by Pegasus, and was later handed to Atem. Pegasus begged Atem to use the power of this card to defeat the Wicked God and restore his controlled brother to normal.

Atem did indeed succeed. He used "God's Evolution" to transform Obelisk into "True Ancestor Obelisk," gaining the same rank as the Winged Dragon of Ra and the Wicked Avatar, and thereby defeated the strongest Wicked God, the Wicked Avatar.

But now, the same card had actually appeared in the hands of the Wicked God.

"I said, the world is larger than you mortals can imagine. Now, my God's Evolution is even more powerful than the one the Pharaoh once possessed!"

The Wicked God shouted.

No errors in the content, check it out!

"The evolved 'The Wicked Dreadroot' has its rank raised, and its ATK and DEF both increase by 1000 points!"

【The Wicked Dreadroot, ATK 4000 -> ATK 5000】

"Battle!" The Wicked God shouted, "Dreadroot, attack 'Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon'!"

Endless darkness gathered in the Wicked God's hand, and the power of destruction swept over like a deluge.

At this moment, the opponent's ATK had surpassed the Ultimate Dragon, but the Ultimate Dragon showed no fear, still gathering all its strength, with dazzling light of destruction converging in its mouths. The three balls of light merged into one, turning into a destructive impact of light, ready to be fired at any moment.

But before the two sides could collide head-on, a dark quagmire suddenly opened beneath the Ultimate Dragon, like an abyss formed from the ultimate darkness of the world, and a massive suction force was dragging it into it.

Kaiba was also shocked.

What is this? A destruction-type effect?

But whether it came from a Spell or a monster effect, the current Ultimate Dragon should be absolutely immune...

"Hahahaha—"

The Wicked God laughed.

"Did you think the power of the evolved Wicked God was only at this level?

The further ability that 'The Wicked Dreadroot' gained through 'God's Evolution' is 'Absolute Annihilation'!

When the evolved Wicked God declares an attack, the opponent must choose one monster on their field to send to the Graveyard!"

Kaiba: "!"

After all, as the world's number one card-printing master, President Kaiba himself had been immersed in K-language for many years and was quite experienced with various flashy rule descriptions. He immediately understood the terrifying nature of this effect, and why the Ultimate Dragon's absolute resistance was ineffective against it.

The opponent must choose one monster on their field to send to the Graveyard; it is a very clear description. The target of this effect is the "opponent".

This is an effect that takes effect on the opposing duelist, not the opposing monster. Having to choose a monster to send to the Graveyard is the duelist's own action, just like voluntarily sacrificing monsters on the field to perform a Tribute Summon.

Even if the Ultimate Dragon ignores any card effects, it cannot go against its master's will.

Therefore, no matter what kind of resistance, no matter how invincible the monster, it could not withstand this evolved Godly strike.

"You only have Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on your field now; you have no choice."

The Wicked God said hideously.

"Disappear, Ultimate Dragon!"
