"The Evil Heart summoned through the effect of Dark Fusion cannot be destroyed by effects this turn!"
If this were the physical card version of Dark Fusion, its resistance could not target effect objects. Although it's comparable to effect destruction resistance, if the current scenario were a physical card effect, Gaia might have been countered on the spot.
"Tch, it turns out to have such troublesome resistance." Yubel frowned, "Is this the power of the Overlord?"
The shield of Holy Defense was pierced with a single strike, and the domineering force continued, with energy fragments scattering everywhere. The fireball in Gaia's hand drove straight in, with darkness and evil being dispersed by the approaching flames, a strike straight through the chest of the Evil God.
[Yubel, LP2500 → LP1400]
The Eraser tilted its head and let out a long wail that sounded like a dying lament.
But Judai quickly realized something was off.
As the body of the Eraser crumbled, the body of the Evil God did not collapse but instead transformed into some kind of black liquid. The huge figure sprawled like a pool of sludge on the ground, rapidly expanding until it resembled a giant swamp.
Gaia sensed danger and hurriedly tried to withdraw. But by this time, the darkness had already wrapped around his feet, dragging him down with great force—where could he escape?
The entire New Universe Space, filled with auroras, was also slowly being eroded by this darkness, as if even light itself was being devoured.
After the darkness passed, the entire field was spotlessly clean, like earth washed by a rainstorm. It shone like a mirror, without a single remnant.
The Overlord said, "I see, that Evil God has the ability to erase all things, hence named 'Eraser'?"
"Precisely," Yubel replied, "Evil God Eraser, when sent to the graveyard, all cards on the field are sent to the graveyard!"
She paused, then gave a wicked smile.
"However, it's a pity. Your original 'Ojama Derivatives' on the field deal the controller 300 damage when destroyed. If all three derivatives are destroyed, they sum up to 900 damage, which considering your remaining Life Points, Judai, means you've lost...
But the Eraser's effect is a complete erasure, sending cards to the graveyard directly instead of destroying them. Without the destruction step, the derivative effects naturally can't be triggered. You've dodged a bullet, Judai."
Although the physical card version of the Eraser is all-around inferior to the original manga version, given the current circumstances, if the physical card Eraser's effect were used, "when destroyed and sent to the graveyard, all cards on the field are destroyed," though its field-clearing ability isn't as good as the manga's single beam, it would have already won by now.
Yubel laughed, "But with this, the number of opportunities for further mutual damage with Judai increases, which isn't bad."
Judai took a deep breath, "Seems like it, luck's not too bad."
The Overlord coldly said, "Fool, is it time to celebrate now? Your field is cleared, next turn's attack will be fatal."
"I know, I know."
Judai spoke while inserting another card into the slot.
"Setting one card, turn end."
Yubel said, "My turn, draw!"
She drew two cards from her hand, first revealing the front card: "Magic Card 'Ancient Rules,' allows special summoning of level 5 or higher ordinary monsters from the hand."
Then her second card revealed behind the front card was a high-star Mortal Bone.
"Special Summon 'Demon Zoya'!"
A blue Demon, covered in sharp black claws, ferociously crouched on the ground, its face showing no eyes, yet strangely giving off a piercing gaze.
[Demon Zoya, Attack Power 2600]
"Demon Zoya, direct attack on Judai!"
The blue demon cried out, leaping up, right claw front left claw behind, descending headlong, the fierce gust of the claw enveloping Judai despite being half a field away.
The Overlord shouted harshly, "Trap."
"I know, I know."
Judai muttered. Despite calling upon his teammates' help to wake him, having someone constantly giving commands during the game felt a bit awkward.
But he still followed the advice and activated the back row.
"Uncover the cover card, Counterattack Trap - Attack Powerlessness!
Negate the opponent's monster's attack and forcibly end the battle phase!"
A transparent tornado blew out from the trap, forming a spiral shield in front. Demon Zoya's claw struck the vortex's center, letting out a cry as it felt its body lifted, uncontrollably pushed back by a powerful counter, sitting down on the ground, rolling around in a flurry before retreating to its side.
Attack Powerlessness is an anime favorite for Judai, its status as a Counterattack Trap making it hard to counteract, and the ability to nullify attacks with the effect of forcibly ending the battle phase effectively halts further assaults.
"Persisted another turn," Yubel said, "as expected from my Judai.
Then I set a card, turn end."
Judai wiped his sweat, "Evil God's power is truly incredible, being pushed to this point in a flash... fortunately it was managed to be endured. Unless some way is thought out this turn, it might end badly."
"Impossible."
The Overlord was cold and confident.
Judai said, "Oh? That confident?"
The Overlord said, "Because I am the Overlord, that's the reason."
"Ahaha, yes indeed." Judai teased, "but even saying this, haven't you already lost to me?"
The Overlord's tone turned cold, speaking in a low voice, "Sounds like you want a rematch."
"Just joking, just joking... the rematch talk is for another time."
Judai laughed it off, knowing that continuing this topic too far might capsize the ship of friendship right then.
"My turn, draw!" Judai said, "Activate the Magic Card 'Hero's Legacy'!
When there are two or more 'Hero' monsters of level 4 or above in your graveyard, draw three cards from the Card Deck!" (Original effect)
Currently in the graveyard are Neo Fusion Monsters and Evil Heart Heroes, with more than two level 4 heroes. Judai drew three cards.
"Then activate the Magic Card 'Take Over5,' send the top five cards from the Card Deck to the graveyard!"
Judai drew five cards and sent them to the grave.
The Overlord in the back row sneaked a peek, noticing the cards Judai drew, humming with cold satisfaction.
"Evil God, not bad. But let's show him what true ultimate darkness, the symbol of power, really is!"
Judai didn't respond to his words, but understood his teammate's meaning. He raised the newly drawn spell card above his head, as before, a dark cyclone spun up in the field.
"Magic Card 'Dark Divine Call'!"
Judai said.
"Banish Fusion Material required by the Demon Race Fusion Monster from your hand and graveyard, perform a Fusion Summon for Fusion Monsters requiring 'Dark Fusion'!"
Judai displayed two cards from his graveyard.
"From the graveyard, 'Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Demon' and 'Evil Heart Hero: Dark Gaia,' banishing these two Evil Hearts, perform Fusion Summon!
Summon forth the ultimate darkness's demon of death—
—— Evil Heart Hero: Evil Blade Death Demon, summon!"
