Chapter 727: Eraser Evolution

The Wicked God finally reacted completely.

Yes, the Continuous Trap "Call of the Haunted" in his back row was indeed used to revive himself from the Graveyard. Normally, he would naturally wait until the opponent launched an attack before using it, because before entering the Battle Phase, the opponent had more operations in the Main Phase. If he activated the Trap directly first, he might leave more room for the opponent to operate.

As for the opponent directly using destruction-type effects to clear the back row, this was nothing to fear.

If Jaden had directly activated "Heavy Storm" to destroy the back row, then the Wicked God could have chained the activation of "Call of the Haunted" to Heavy Storm.

Yes, Call of the Haunted is a Continuous Trap. Normally, even if it is activated in a chain to the opponent's effect, after Call of the Haunted is destroyed, the monster revived by its effect must also be destroyed, so doing this is meaningless.

But that's the case for reviving ordinary monsters. And now what he wants to revive is not an ordinary monster, but a god. As long as the Wicked God is successfully summoned to the field, he is no longer affected by Trap effects. So even if Call of the Haunted is destroyed, it won't cause his self-destruction.

But the arrival of this Cosmo Neos made the situation completely different. From the moment this Neos landed, the entire field entered the realm of prohibition. His field seemed to be sealed, and no effects had any response.

Completely silent!

And he immediately realized that this was also a noble player-targeted effect. "The opponent cannot activate any effects activated on the field", this sentence targets the player who activates the effect, meaning the player cannot give instructions to their own cards to activate effects. Even gods, or big monsters with absolute resistance, cannot be spared.

The Wicked God said gloomily: "As expected, it's a tricky monster."

Jaden said: "Then activate Field Spell 'Neo Space'!"

"Let the ATK of Neo-Spacian monsters on my field increase by another 500!"

【Elemental HERO Cosmo Neos, ATK 3500 → ATK 4000】

"Battle!" Jaden said, "Elemental HERO Cosmo Neos, attack 'The Supremacy Sun'!"

Seven-colored light gathered in the hands of Neos held high above his head, and the colorful light vortex swirled in his palm. The light condensed to the extreme, and as Neos blasted out a palm, the overbearing light beam torrent blasted through the air, shattering the body of The Supremacy Sun head-on.

【Eraser, LP 4000 → LP 3000】

"Turn end." Jaden said, "Because Field Spell 'Neo Space' is on the field, 'Elemental HERO Cosmo Neos' does not need to return to the Deck in the End Phase."

"... My turn, draw."

The Wicked God said gloomily.

"In the Standby Phase of this turn, the effect of 'The Supremacy Sun' in the Graveyard activated... The sun is immortal!"

"Return to the field, sun!"

Pitch-black flames broke through the ground and erupted into the sky, turning into a black sun again. The dark sun turned into the posture of a giant again, and the armor all over his body seemed to be spitting out flames.

【The Supremacy Sun, ATK 3000】

"The sun is immortal." The Wicked God said gloomily, "And this guy too."

"In my Standby Phase, if there are no Spell or Trap cards in my back row, Special Summon this card from the Graveyard again."

"Special Summon 'Swap Frog'!"

【Swap Frog, DEF 100】

"Activate Spell Card 'Card of Sanctity of Buried Spells'. Banish three Spell Cards from the Graveyard from the game, and draw two cards from the Deck."

"I banish Spell Cards 'Sacrificial Burial', 'Card of Sanctity of the Huang Quan', 'Pitch-Black Sun' from the Graveyard from the game, and draw two cards!"

"Quick-Play Spell 'Serial Spell'! Discard all cards in my hand, and I can copy the effect of a Spell Card just activated." The Wicked God said, "Copy the effect of 'Card of Sanctity of Buried Spells', so I can draw two more cards without paying the cost!"

The Wicked God drew two more cards.

"You might think your counterattack just now was beautiful, you think you put me in check?"

The Wicked God said in a deep voice. "No, your struggle just angered me, and you will deeply regret angering me next!"

"Activate Spell Card 'Monster Reincarnation', discard one card from my hand, and return a monster card from the Graveyard to my hand."

"The one I want to return is naturally myself, Wicked God - Eraser!"

The Wicked God discarded a card from his hand and returned himself from the Graveyard.

"Then I will give this card to you—"

The Wicked God drew a card from his hand and shouted.

"Special Summon 'Tormentor Torturer' on your field, in Defense Position!"

The silver steel giant was summoned on Jaden's field, the giant looked like Lava Golem wearing a suit of steel armor, full of sharp claws and steel saw teeth.

【Tormentor Torturer, DEF 300】

Jaden's heart tightened. You Xuan and Yubel both liked this monster, so Jaden couldn't possibly not recognize it. Therefore, he knew clearly that this was a powerful big monster with a wide range of uses, but it usually appeared on the opponent's field.

If it were a real card, one could not Normal Summon in the turn Tormentor Torturer was summoned. But the anime didn't have this restriction, making its risk smaller and its practicality stronger.

!

"By Special Summoning Tormentor Torturer on the opponent's field, I can Special Summon two 'Torturer Tokens' on my field in Attack Position."

【Torturer Token, ATK 0】 x2

Jaden: "Collected the number of Tributes again, and didn't use the Normal Summon..."

"Not bad!"

The Wicked God looked up and laughed.

"I offer two Torturer Tokens and Swap Frog, three monsters as Tributes! Descend again, turn this world into complete nothingness—"

"—Wicked God - Eraser, summon!!!"

Boundless darkness gathered, turning into that evil image again. It seemed that endless darkness and void constituted the demon's body, darkness surged out like a tide, devouring light and hope.

【Wicked God - Eraser, ATK?】

"Wicked God - Eraser's ATK becomes the number of cards on the opponent's field x 1000." The Wicked God said, "Now you have Neo Space, Cosmo Neos, and Tormentor Torturer on your field, so the ATK becomes 3000!"

【Wicked God - Eraser, ATK? → ATK 3000】

Jaden said: "The ATK is temporarily not as good as Cosmo Neos..."

Yubel said: "But that god has the terrifying ability to annihilate all things. As long as he launches a suicide attack, everything on the field will be cleared. And his Supremacy Sun will regenerate in the next turn..."

"Hehe, it doesn't need to be so troublesome." The Wicked God sneered, "I said, you will regret angering me. Today, I will let you see something special, the evolution that surpasses gods!"

"Activate Spell Card 'God Evolution'!"

"Let 'Wicked God - Eraser' rank up!"

Jaden x Yubel: "Nani!?"

This involved their blind spot of knowledge again.

What the hell? Can the god rank also be upgraded?

Terrifying energy that seemed to roll the entire universe into the abyss of a black hole, Wicked God - Eraser was wrapped in the extremely thick darkness. The Wicked God's body seemed to be scattered into countless particles with flickering ghost light, surging and rotating in the darkness, like stars dancing in the sea of the universe, and reorganized during the rotation, turning into a terrifying air vortex!

Space was torn into pieces, dark light penetrated through layers of darkness, and reorganized into the Wicked God's posture again, but it was far more huge and majestic than before. Sharp claws left dark claw marks in space, and the long tail shook the earth when it swung.

Wicked God - Eraser, evolution!
