Chapter 999: Annihilator Evolution
Yeshen finally came to his senses.
Yes, he had the Continuous Trap "Call of the Undead" in his back row, which could resurrect him from the Graveyard. Normally, he would wait for the opponent to attack before activating it, as the opponent had more options during the Main Phase before the Battle Phase. If he activated the Trap first, it might leave more room for the opponent to maneuver.
As for the opponent using a Trap to clear his back row, that wasn't much of a concern.
If Jou activated "Great Storm" to destroy the back row, Yeshen could chain "Call of the Undead" to it.
Yes, "Call of the Undead" was a Continuous Trap. Normally, even if it was destroyed after chaining, the monster it resurrected would be destroyed as well, making it pointless.
But that was for ordinary monsters. The one he was about to resurrect was not an ordinary monster, but a deity. Once Yeshen successfully summoned it, it would no longer be affected by the Trap's effect. So even if "Call of the Undead" was destroyed, it wouldn't cause his self-destruction.
However, the arrival of this New Universe Neos changed everything. From the moment it landed, the entire field entered a restricted zone. His field was sealed, and no effects could be activated.
Complete silence!
He immediately realized that this was a noble effect targeting the player. "The opponent cannot activate any effects on the field" meant the player could not command their cards to activate effects. Even a deity or a monster with absolute resistance couldn't escape this.
Yeshen said grimly, "Indeed, a troublesome monster."
Jou declared, "Next, activate the Field Spell 'New Universe Space'!
Increase the Attack Power of my New Universe Neos by 500!"
[Elemental Hero New Universe Neos, Attack Power 3500 → 4000]
"Battle!" Jou said, "Elemental Hero New Universe Neos, attack 'Supreme Sun'!"
Rainbow light gathered in New Universe Neos' hand, held high above his head. The multicolored vortex swirled in his palm, coalescing into a powerful beam that shot through the air, shattering Supreme Sun's body.
[Annihilator, LP 4000 → LP 3000]
"End of my Turn", Jou said, "Because of the Field Spell 'New Universe Space,' Elemental Hero New Universe Neos doesn't return to the Deck during the End Phase."
"My Turn, Draw."
Yeshen said sullenly.
"In the Preparation Phase of this Turn, the effect of 'Supreme Sun' in the Graveyard activates. The sun is eternal!
Return to the field, Sun!"
Dark flames burst from the ground, soaring skyward like a black sun rising. The dark sun transformed into a giant, its armor seeming to devour the flames.
[Supreme Sun, Attack Power 3000]
"The sun is eternal", Yeshen said grimly, "And so is this one.
In my Preparation Phase, if there are no Magic or Trap Cards in my back row, I can Special Summon this card from the Graveyard.
Special Summon 'Frog of the Underworld'!"
[Frog of the Underworld, Defense 100]
"Activate the Magic Card 'Tome of Burial Spell.' By banishing three Magic Cards from the Graveyard, I can draw two cards from my Deck.
I banish the Magic Cards 'Sacrificial Offering,' 'Tome of the Netherworld,' and 'Black Sun' from the Graveyard, and draw two cards!"
"Quick-Play Spell 'Chain Spell'! By discarding all cards in my hand, I can replicate the effect of the recently activated Magic Card." Yeshen said, "I replicate the effect of 'Tome of Burial Spell,' so I can draw two more cards without paying the cost!"
Yeshen drew two more cards.
"You might think your counterattack was brilliant, that you had me cornered, didn't you?"
Yeshen's deep voice rumbled.
"No, your struggles have only infuriated me, and you will soon regret ever provoking me!
I activate the Magic Card 'Dead Rebirth.' I discard one card from my hand and return a monster card from my Graveyard to my hand.
Of course, I'm returning myself, Yeshen, the Annihilator!"
Yeshen discarded a card and returned himself from the Graveyard.
"Next, I'll give this card to you—"
Yeshen pulled a card from his hand and shouted,
"Special Summon 'Torture Giant' in Defense Position on your field!"
A silver steel giant appeared on Jou's field, resembling a lava demon clad in iron armor, with sharp claws and steel saw teeth.
[Torture Giant, Defense: 300]
Jou's heart tightened. Both Youxuan and You Bei favored this monster, so Jou couldn't possibly be unfamiliar with it. He knew it was a powerful and versatile card, though it usually appeared on the opponent's field.
In the real game, the turn a Torture Giant is summoned, the player cannot Normal Summon. However, in the anime, this restriction doesn't apply, making it less risky and more practical.
"By Special Summoning Torture Giant on your field, I can Special Summon two 'Torture Tokens' in Attack Position on my own field."
[Torture Token, Attack: 0] x2
Jou: "You've gathered the tribute count again, and you haven't used your Normal Summon yet."
"Excellent!"
Yeshen threw back his head and laughed.
"I tribute two Torture Tokens and the Frog of the Underworld, three monsters in total! Once again, I bring forth the complete annihilation of this world—
—Yeshen, the Annihilator, summon!!"
Endless darkness gathered, forming the evil image once more. The darkness and void seemed to compose the demon's body, surging like a tide, devouring light and hope.
[Yeshen, the Annihilator, Attack: ?]
"Yeshen, the Annihilator's Attack Power becomes the number of cards on your field times 1000", Yeshen said. "Currently, you have New Universe Space, Elemental Hero New Universe Neos, and Torture Giant, so his Attack Power becomes 3000!"
[Yeshen, the Annihilator, Attack: ? → Attack: 3000]
Jou: "His Attack Power is still lower than Elemental Hero New Universe Neos."
You Bei: "But that god has the terrifying ability to annihilate everything. If he launches a suicide attack, everything on the field will be cleared. And his Supreme Sun will regenerate on the next turn."
"Hehe, no need for such trouble", Yeshen sneered. "I told you, you will regret provoking me. Today, I'll show you something special, an evolution beyond the gods!
I activate the Magic Card 'God's Evolution'!
Elevate Yeshen, the Annihilator to a higher divine rank!"
Jou and You Bei: "What!?"
This was beyond their knowledge.
What was this? Could divine ranks be elevated?
A terrifying energy, capable of engulfing the entire universe into a black hole, enveloped Yeshen, the Annihilator. Yeshen's body broke apart into countless glowing particles, swirling and dancing in the darkness like stars in the cosmic sea, reassembling into a terrifying vortex!
Space was torn apart, and dark light pierced through the layers of darkness, reconstituting Yeshen in a form far more massive and imposing than before. His sharp claws left dark marks in the air, and his long tail's movement shook the ground.
Yeshen, the Annihilator, evolved!
