"The ability to freely choose whether to accept the effect... I see."
The Evil God said in a deep voice.
"Is this the true 'Absolute Resistance'?"
"By accumulating Dragon Race in the graveyard, one can obtain absolute power, coupled with absolute resistance, it indeed possesses terrifying strength as a dragon."
Even as the Evil God, he had to admit that in terms of resistance, he was inferior even as a god.
At this moment, the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's mouth was already gathering blue light, that brilliance was condensing into a huge sphere of light, the shining radiance condensed into a coherent and undispersed sphere of light.
But the next moment, the Evil God suddenly laughed.
"But, the so-called invincible resistance only applies to that dragon itself, doesn't it?"
Kaiba frowned, "What?"
The Evil God said, "Activate the cover card, the Trap Card 'High-speed Chanting'!
At the cost of not being able to activate any Magic Card in the next turn, discard any Magic Card from your hand, this card can directly get the effect of that Magic!" (Original Card)
The Evil God sent a Magic Card from his hand to the graveyard.
"The Magic Card I want to discard from my hand is——
——Soul Liberation!"
Kaiba: "!"
He had used this card before and knew its effect well. This card is...
"Soul Liberation, choose up to five cards from your own or the opponent's graveyard." The Evil God said, "Remove five cards from the game!"
And at this critical moment, the cards the Evil God wanted to remove were naturally without question.
Five dragons flew out of Kaiba's graveyard, turning into five white lights, took shape in mid-air, and then quickly turned into flickering golden light and dissipated.
"Remove five cards from your graveyard, 'True Ultimate Blue-Eyes Dragon', three 'Blue-Eyes White Dragons', one 'Blue-Eyes Sub-White Dragon', from the game!
This reduces the number of dragons in your graveyard by five, decreasing the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's Attack Power by 1500!"
[Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, Attack Power 5400 → Attack Power 3900]
"The Blue-Eyes Light Dragon might not accept card effects, but your graveyard does not." The Evil God said, "Cutting off the source of power, no matter how strong the resistance is, it's useless!
Be destroyed under the power of the Evil God, Blue-Eyes Light Dragon!"
Seeing the Root of Fear about to counterattack, Kaiba gritted his teeth and yelled, "Blue-Eyes Light Dragon, activate the ultimate ability!"
The Evil God, "!"
Still have an ultimate ability?
"Blue-Eyes Light Dragon can use itself as a sacrifice to destroy any card on the field!" Kaiba shouted, "This effect is quick play, can be activated in the opponent's turn!
I use Blue-Eyes Light Dragon as a sacrifice, to destroy 'Evil God: Root of Fear'——
——Shining New Star!"
The Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's whole body shone with a dazzling brilliance, like a supernova explosion!
Theoretically speaking, it was already tried before; the Evil God cannot be destroyed by effects that destroy. But as someone who had also once wielded a god, Kaiba knew this resistance wasn't absolute.
For example, Phantom Gods also won't leave the field due to card effects, but back then, Atom's Sky Dragon was destroyed by Malik's Winged Divine Dragon, and Obelisk's field-clearing effect also worked on Sky Dragon.
Gods have different ranks. As long as the rank of the destruction effect is higher than that of the god, the effect becomes effective.
Although Blue-Eyes Light Dragon isn't a god, it possesses a high level of power. In the movie version, the Continuous Trap "Light Pyramid" specialized in sealing the Three Phantom Gods, ordinary destruction effects were ineffective, but in the end, the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon's Shining New Star successfully destroyed "Light Pyramid"—though the price was Blue-Eyes Light Dragon exhausting its power and the card itself being destroyed.
At this moment, even if Kaiba continues to attack, not only would the Light Dragon get destroyed, but he would also suffer battle damage. So he might as well make a desperate gamble.
The Shining New Star exploded, the Blue-Eyes Light Dragon used up its strength for one final bombarding. But unfortunately, when the light faded, darkness remained. The Evil God still stood on the field like a mountain, exuding that dangerous aura.
"That was close, Blue-Eyes has such a terrifying card, and even such a suicidal attack ability..."
The Evil God laughed.
"If it weren't for the rank upgrade from 'Divine Evolution', I might really have been taken out by that dragon."
Kaiba gritted his teeth.
As expected, it wasn't that easy.
But he was not exactly surprised, after all, it was just a try. At least, the Light Dragon's sacrifice escaped and avoided battle damage. Kaiba said, "Then, Normal Summon 'Creator's Substitute Venus' in Defense Position."
[Creator's Substitute Venus, Defense Power 0]
"Venus's effect, pay 500 Life Points, Special Summon a 'Divine Sphere' from the Card Deck."
[Kaiba, LP1250 → LP750]
[Divine Sphere, Defense Power 500]
Kaiba: "Set a card face-down, end the turn."
The Evil God laughed heartily: "In the end, you can only use this way to linger on? The power-worshiping Seto Kaiba, now even has to play such monsters that don't even qualify as walls to prolong life..."
Kaiba remained expressionless: "Your turn, draw."
"Heh, well then, as you wish... my turn, draw!"
The Evil God said.
"Well, because of the side effect of 'High-speed Chanting', I can't activate any Magic Cards this turn either.
Then it's battle time. Attack with Evil God: Root of Fear!"
Throughout this entire turn, Kaiba kept his eyes slightly closed, as if he was thinking, or sensing something.
Until the opponent declared "Battle", the moment the Evil God was about to make his move, he opened his eyes suddenly.
As if sensing something, or deciding on something.
"Activate the cover card, Trap Card——
——Desperate Measures!"
Kaiba shouted.
"This turn, all of the opponent's attacks... will all become direct attacks on themselves!"
The Evil God: "!?"
"What are you doing?" The Evil God said in a deep voice, "Seeking your own doom?!"
"Who knows." Kaiba sneered, "Well, do you have the guts to attack?"
The Evil God hesitated for a moment.
At this moment, the only cover card on the opponent's field had been activated, with only two lowly defense position monsters on the field, it didn't seem like there were any pitfalls.
If Kaiba did nothing, let the Evil God attack the defense monsters, he could at least survive one more turn. But if the direct attack goes through, he's finished.
But this looked like he had nothing to fear...
In the midst of hesitation, Kaiba said faintly, "Well, this so-called Evil God is just about this much, I knew long ago you didn't have the guts. Because..."
He sneered coldly.
"The truth is, you fear me."
"You studied me, studied my rivals, deliberately prepared special cards to deal with me, trying to disrupt my mind. The truth is, you fear me."
"Because you know very well, no matter how much you prepare, no matter how you evolve... you will never be my match."
The Evil God squinted his eyes.
"A taunt? Ha ha ha... interesting. However..."
The Evil God's eyes flashed with a cold light, sneering.
"No matter, I'll take the bait."
