Chapter 973: The Arrival of Erasure
Chapter 973: The Arrival of Erasure
"Just now, Chaos Neos' attack would have dealt me 3500 points of battle damage," Yu Bei Er explained.
"So, according to the effect of the Underworld Snapdragon Seed, 3000 points of that damage become nullified, and three 'Underworld Snapdragon Tokens' are Special Summoned to my field."
【Underworld Snapdragon Token, Defense Power 0】 x3
"Then, the final battle damage I took was reduced to 500 points."
【Yu Bei Er, LP 3000 → LP 2500】
Jou couldn't help but call out, "Yu Bei Er!"
"It's useless, Jou," Chaos Neos said, "She can't hear you anymore."
Jou clenched his fist, "So, you're saying we haven't fought deeply enough?"
Jou had received some training from You Xuan during their casual chats, gaining a good understanding of dark duel-related knowledge. He knew that Yu Bei Er's Life Points were like the evil consciousness that possessed her, and the lower her Life Points, the closer she would be to her true self.
"I Set a card, and my turn is over," Jou declared.
Just as Ultraman could only operate on Earth for three minutes, Chaos Neos was originally only able to remain on the field for one turn before automatically returning to the Deck. However, with the Field Spell Neo Space in play, it was like being in a spring of infinite energy for Neos, allowing him to remain on the field without triggering the effect that returns him to the Deck.
"My turn, I draw!" Yu Bei Er announced.
She played the card she drew: "I activate the Spell Card 'Underworld Scroll'.
Remove three Spell Cards from the Graveyard from play, and draw two cards from the Deck." (Original Card)
She revealed three Spell Cards from her Graveyard.
"I remove 'Jar of Greed', 'Angel's Favor', and 'Graveyard of the Dead Emperor' from play and draw two cards."
Yu Bei Er drew two cards. Her gaze swept over the cards, and her expression momentarily froze, as if the cards she drew had momentarily stunned her, but her eyes quickly regained their sharpness.
"I activate the Continuous Spell 'Underworld Scroll'," Yu Bei Er said, "When two or more monsters are Tributed for a Tribute Summon, you can draw two cards from your Deck."
Her movements were slow, almost solemn, as she drew two cards from her hand.
Even before she began her Summoning, dark clouds seemed to gather in the sky above the field, as if an infinite darkness was converging. Thunder rumbled with sharp cracks, as if something extremely evil was brewing within the thunderclouds.
"I Tribute three 'Underworld Snapdragon Tokens'!
Devouring heaven and earth, erasing all things, the god of destruction that reduces everything to nothingness—
—Demonic Deity · Eraser, descend!!!"
Jou's heart shuddered, and his pupils contracted, "A Demonic Deity?!"
The three Snapdragon Tokens vanished, as if devoured and chewed into fragments by darkness. A pillar of dark energy shot into the sky, piercing even the thunderclouds. A demon from the abyss slowly twisted its body, stretching its limbs, and releasing silver claws, with lightning flashing from its mouth.
Demonic Deity · Eraser, descended!
【Demonic Deity · Eraser, Attack Power?】
"Demonic Deity," Jou said, "Is this the true form of the evil thoughts within Yu Bei Er?"
"Chaos Neos also stepped forward, blocking the attack with his arm, and said, "Be careful, Jaden. This opponent is far from ordinary."
Jaden nodded, "I understand."
"Since I used three monsters as a Tribute for an Advanced Summon, the effect of Underworld Scroll is triggered. I draw two cards from my Deck."
After drawing two more cards, Yubel continued.
"The Demonic Deity Eraser's attack power is determined by the number of cards on your opponent's field. Its attack becomes one thousand times the number of cards present on your opponent's field."
"I currently have Chaos Neos, Neo Space, and a face-down card on my field, totaling three cards," Jaden said.
"Correct. Therefore, Eraser's attack power is three thousand points," Yubel confirmed.
[Demonic Deity Eraser, Attack Power? → Attack Power 3000]
Jaden's heart sank, but he quickly realized that no matter what abilities Eraser possessed, its attack power seemed inferior to that of Chaos Neos.
"Do you think this level of power is insufficient to defeat your Neos?"
As if reading Jaden's thoughts, Yubel scoffed.
"What if I add this card to the mix?
I activate a face-down card, a Trap Card, 'Disturbance Trio'!"
Jaden was shocked, "You Xuan's card?!"
The world line shifted, and at this moment, Jaden's first thought was not of his close friend, Manjimashi, but of You Xuan.
However, he immediately understood the value of this card's appearance at this critical juncture.
Disturbance Trio was a common card in budget decks, and the trio itself was frequently used without any entry barriers. This card could directly summon three useless Derivative Tokens on the opponent's field, occupying three of their Monster Zones. When combined with Eraser, this combo effectively locked down the opponent's zones while granting Eraser a base attack power of three thousand points.
"The effect of Disturbance Trio, Special Summon three Disturbance Derivatives in Defense Position on your opponent's field!"
Three Disturbance Derivatives in yellow, green, and black appeared in Jaden's empty Monster Zones, instantly occupying three of his Monster Zones.
[Disturbance Derivative, Defense Power 1000] x3
"Since the number of monsters on your field has increased by three, Eraser's attack power rises by another 3000!"
[Demonic Deity Eraser, Attack Power 3000 → Attack Power 6000]
Jaden's expression turned grave, "Attack power six thousand..."
"You are mine, and all that is mine is good enough!" Yubel declared, "Accept everything I have to offer, Jaden! We will become one again!
Demonic Deity Eraser, attack 'Elemental Hero Chaos Neos'!"
The Demonic Deity opened its mouth, spewing out the deepest darkness from the world's core. It seemed as if everything touched by this darkness would instantly be reduced to nothingness.
"Give up resistance, give up struggling, Jaden!" Yubel urged, "We will be whole again!"
"Not like this, not in this way," Jaden stubbornly insisted.
"I activate a face-down card, a Trap Card, 'Injury Slimming'!"
This was another card he had obtained from You Xuan, a new card designed just two months ago by one of You Xuan's Trap development departments.
"During the turn Injury Slimming is activated, all damage inflicted on yourself is halved!"
A wave of darkness, like a tsunami, engulfed Chaos Neos, and the impact of the burst swept Jaden into the storm as well, causing him to lose control and fall to the ground.
