Chapter 991: Provocation
Chapter 991: Provocation
"The ability to freely choose whether to accept the effect. I see."
The Evil God spoke in a deep voice.
"So, this is the true 'Absolute Resistance'?"
"By accumulating Dragon-type monsters in the graveyard, one can gain absolute power, and with the addition of absolute resistance, it is indeed a fearsome dragon with formidable power."
Even as an Evil God, he couldn't help but admit that in terms of resistance, even he, as a god, fell short in comparison.
At this moment, a blue light gathered in the mouth of the Light Dragon, and the brilliance condensed into a massive sphere of light, forming a shining orb that remained suspended without dispersing.
But the next moment, the Evil God's tone suddenly changed, and he laughed.
"However, this so-called invincible resistance only applies to that dragon itself, right?"
Kaiba frowned, "What?"
The Evil God said, "I activate a Trap Card, 'High-Speed Incantation'!
As a cost, discard any Spell Card from your hand during your next turn, and this card can directly gain the effect of that Spell!" (Original Card)
The Evil God sent a Spell Card from his hand to the graveyard.
"The Spell Card I will discard from my hand is—
—Soul Liberation!"
Kaiba: "!"
He had used this card before, so he was naturally aware of its effect. This card is...
"Soul Liberation, remove up to five cards in total from your own and your opponent's graveyards." The Evil God continued, "Five cards are removed from play!"
At this critical juncture, the cards the Evil God wanted to remove were naturally without question.
Five dragons separated from Kaiba's graveyard, transforming into five beams of white light that took form in mid-air and quickly dissipated into flickering golden light.
"From your graveyard, I remove the Ultimate Dragon, three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, and one Blue-Eyes Cyber Dragon!
With these five cards removed from play, the number of Dragon-type monsters in your graveyard decreases by five, and the Light Dragon's attack power decreases by 1500!"
[Light Dragon, Attack Power 5400 → Attack Power 3900]
"The Light Dragon may not be affected by card effects, but your graveyard certainly is." The Evil God continued, "By cutting off the source of its power, even the strongest resistance is useless!
Perish under the power of the Evil God, Light Dragon!"
Seeing that the Root of Fear was about to strike back, Kaiba gritted his teeth and shouted, "Light Dragon, activate your final ability!"
The Evil God: "!"
There's still a final ability?
"The Light Dragon can sacrifice itself to destroy any card on the field!" Kaiba declared, "This effect is a Quick Effect, and it can be activated during your opponent's turn!
I sacrifice the Light Dragon to destroy 'Evil God of Fear - Root of Fear'—
—Shining Nova!"
The Light Dragon burst forth with a dazzling brilliance, like the self-destruction of a super-nova!
In theory, they had already tested this, and the Evil God couldn't be destroyed by destruction-type effects. But Kaiba, who had once been a god's rider, knew that this resistance wasn't absolute.
For example, the Godlike Deity wouldn't be forced to leave the field due to card effects, but in the past, Atlum's Sky Dragon had been destroyed by Malik's Winged Dragon, and the field-nuking effect of the Orichalcos was also effective against it.
Although the Light Dragon wasn't a god, its power level was also very high. In the movie, the continuous Trap Card 'Pyramid of Light,' designed to seal the three Godlike Deities, was ineffective against regular destruction effects. However, in the end, the Light Dragon's Shining Nova successfully destroyed the Pyramid of Light—even though the cost was the exhaustion of the Light Dragon's power and the destruction of the card itself.
At this moment, even if Kaiba continued to attack, not only would the Light Dragon be destroyed, but he would also have to endure battle damage.
In a desperate move, Shining Nova erupted, and the Light Dragon sacrificed itself to unleash its final barrage. However, to their dismay, when the light faded, darkness remained. The Yeshen still stood tall like a mountain on the field, exuding a dangerous aura.
"It's truly dangerous; the Blue-Eyes has such a terrifying card and the ability to launch a suicidal attack," the Yeshen chuckled.
"If it weren't for the rank-up effect of 'God's Evolution,' I might have been finished off by that dragon," Kaiba gritted his teeth.
It was indeed not that easy.
But he wasn't entirely surprised, as it was just an attempt. At least, by sacrificing the Light Dragon, he avoided combat damage and escaped. Kaiba declared, "Then, I Normal Summon 'Creation Delegate · Venus' in Defense Position."
[Creation Delegate · Venus, Defense 0]
"Venus's effect, pay 500 Life Points, Special Summon a 'Sacred Orb' from the Deck."
[Kaiba, LP 1250 → LP 750]
[Sacred Orb, Defense 500]
Kaiba: "I Set a card and end my turn."
The Yeshen burst into laughter, "Is this how you desperately cling to life? Kaiba Seto, who worships strength, now has to summon such a weak monster that can't even be considered a wall?"
Kaiba remained expressionless, "Your turn, draw a card."
"Hehe, then I'll do as you wish. My turn, draw!" the Yeshen said.
"Well, this turn, due to the side effect of 'High-Speed Incantation,' I can't activate any Spell Cards either," the Yeshen continued.
"So, to battle. Attack of the Yeshen of Fear!"
The entire turn, Kaiba kept his eyes closed, as if deep in thought or sensing something.
It wasn't until the opponent declared "Battle" and the Yeshen was about to make its move that Kaiba suddenly opened his eyes.
As if sensing something, or perhaps making a decision.
"I activate my Set card, a Trap Card—
—Ultimate End!" Kaiba shouted.
"This turn, all attacks from the opponent will become direct attacks against themselves!"
Yeshen: "!??"
"What are you doing?" the Yeshen asked in a low voice, "Are you seeking self-destruction?"
"Who knows?" Kaiba smirked, "Well, do you have the guts to attack?"
The Yeshen hesitated for a moment.
The opponent's only Set card had been activated, and the field now only had two weak Defense Position monsters, which didn't seem like a trap at all.
If Kaiba did nothing and allowed the Yeshen to attack the Defense Position monsters, he should have been able to survive for at least one more turn. But if the direct attack went through, it would be the end for him.
However, Kaiba's expression seemed to exude confidence.
During the hesitation, Kaiba spoke in a calm tone, "Well, so-called Yeshen is nothing more than this. I've known all along that you don't have the courage. Because..."
He smirked.
"The truth is, you fear me."
"You study me, study my opponents, deliberately prepare special cards to deal with me, trying to disrupt my mind. The truth is, you fear me."
"Because you clearly know that no matter how much you prepare, no matter how you evolve, you will never be my match."
The Yeshen narrowed his eyes.
"Provocation? Hehehe, interesting. But..."
A cold light flashed in the Yeshen's eyes, and he chuckled.
"It doesn't matter, I'll take the bait."
