Chapter 958: Chapter 931: The God of Obliteration
[Evil God Eraser, Attack Power?]
One of the Three Evil Gods, it was once held by Pegasus Nightwalker in Yu-Gi-Oh! R, challenging the Phantom Gods with the Power of Evil God. During this period, even Seto Kaiba was defeated by Nightwalker.
Although it seemed to be Nightwalker who defeated Kaiba, in reality, at that time, Pegasus Nightwalker was almost entirely controlled by the Three Evil Gods. So Seto Kaiba should have truly been defeated by the Evil God.
Of course, a certain natural doubt also arose in Yugen’s mind.
Didn’t Beckas confidently claim that the Evil God had already been destroyed?
After Yu-Gi-Oh! R concluded, the Three Evil Gods were seemingly acknowledged as completely annihilated. But come to think of it, since they are said to rival the Phantom Gods, how could they be that easily eliminated?
Especially considering the manga’s final battle, where the game merely awakened Pegasus Nightwalker’s true heart during the duel, helping him break free from the Evil God’s control. Subsequently, the whereabouts of the Evil Gods were glossed over with little explanation.
While Yugen believes that what Beckas and Nightwalker said was true and that the Evil God was indeed destroyed, he tends to think that only the cards were destroyed.
The cards are merely a medium for the gods to descend into the mortal world. Destroying the cards only means disrupting the Evil God’s pathway to this world. But the Evil God itself is not so easily eliminated.
"The Eraser’s Attack Power is determined by the number of cards on the opponent’s field," Eraser said. "My Attack Power is the opponent’s number of cards on the field x 1000 points!"
You now have three scapegoats, Divine Flame Emperor Uriah, and the Field Spell Lost Paradise, a total of five cards!
Therefore, my Attack Power becomes five thousand!"
[Evil God Eraser, Attack Power? → Attack Power 5000]
This effect also demonstrates the corresponding relationship between Evil Gods and Phantom Gods. The Attack Power of Osiris is the controller’s hand count x 1000, while Eraser, which corresponds to Celestial Pit Dragon, is the number of cards on the opponent’s field x 1000 points. It feels somewhat like a tribute, except the high or low Attack Power depends on the opponent, clearly less useful than Celestial Pit Dragon.
Divine Flame Emperor let out another roar, but its momentum was clearly lacking compared to before. It lowered its head slightly, sneaking a glance at its master, possibly indicating that perhaps we should just back down for now...
Can’t blame it for being timid. But its Divine Flame Emperor was originally a low-deck Divine Dragon, whereas the opponent is an Evil God of the same rank as the Sky Dragon, not to mention the current field’s Attack Power is also higher than its own.
"There are other Monsters on the field, so I can’t attack this turn," Yugen said. "The turn is over."
Well, of course, he knew that the Divine Flame Emperor would likely still not escape the clutches of the Eraser.
If you ask why...
"Heh, like Evil Gods and Phantom Gods, an Evil God Special Summoned cannot remain on the field for more than one turn," Eraser said. "Therefore, at this turn’s End Phase, this card, Special Summoned by effect, must return to the graveyard..."
The physical Evil God from the noble Divine Race was turned into the Demon Race, its Divine Attribute changed to Dark Attribute, and added a "cannot be Special Summoned" restriction. But in the original works, Evil Gods and Phantom Gods share the same general effect, where gods resurrected from the graveyard can only remain on the field for one turn.
"Additionally, Evil God Eraser’s final effect is," Eraser laughed, "when Eraser is sent to the graveyard, all cards on the field are sent to the graveyard!" (Original effect)
The physical card changes to "whenever the Eraser is destroyed and sent to the graveyard, all cards on the field are destroyed." Just a few words were changed, but the power greatly reduced. Destroying cards on the field is on a completely different level of removing issues compared to sending them directly to the graveyard.
However, the physical card version of Eraser on the field has an effect that allows it to self-destruct during the Main Phase. This is not present in the original work, where the erasure effect can only be activated when Eraser is passively sent to the graveyard.
"Apocalypse imminent!"
The soon-to-depart Eraser suddenly erupted with endless darkness and chaos, like a black tsunami flattening the entire world.
Everything touched by the darkness seemed to be dragged into Eraser’s domain, where the darkness was powerful enough to extinguish stars, as if all matter and energy were to be devoured into a void. No light, no hope, only eternal darkness and chaos.
Until darkness swept past, like a storm, leaving nothing amid annihilation, only the devastation and ruins that remained.
The entire field was annihilated!
"Hahaha, this is the power of Eraser, absolute destruction, the absolute darkness that can even extinguish gods! Only the void of nothingness, only eternal darkness, is the absolute thing in this world!"
Eraser declared.
"Now it’s my turn, draw!"
Activating the Magic Card ’Pot of Greed’, drawing two cards from the deck."
Eraser played the Monster card in his hand.
"Next, I Normal Summon ’Moza’ again!"
[Moza, Attack Power 100]
"Then, sacrifice Moza, revive the King of Furred Beasts from the graveyard!" said Eraser, "Revive once again onto the field, King of Furred Beasts!"
[King of Furred Beasts, Attack Power 2500]
"Take this!" Eraser said, "Direct attack of King of Furred Beasts!"
The body of the King of Furred Beasts expanded a bit, its dark fur once again transforming into countless flying feathers darting towards their target!
At this time, Yugen’s field had been cleared by Eraser to a complete blank slate, with nothing in the foreground or background, seemingly devoid of any defenses.
But Yugen calmly drew another card from his hand.
"Discard ’Arcana Force XIV - Temperance’ from hand," Yugen said, "Discarding Temperance from the hand turns any battle damage to zero."
"Senior Saio, lend me your power!"
The exclusive arcana Chestnut Ball, Temperance’s illusion appeared on the field, serving as a shield, taking the full brunt of the King of Furred Beasts’ attack.
"Ha, small tricks indeed. But how long can you hold on like this?"
Eraser chuckled dismissively.
"Set two cards, end turn."
Yugen: "My turn, draw."
He revealed the Magic Card in his hand.
"Magic Card ’Angel’s Charity’. Draw three cards from the deck, then discard two cards from the hand."
Yugen drew cards, then immediately sent one to the graveyard.
"With the effect of ’Divine Flame Emperor Uriah’ in the graveyard, discard a Trap Card from the hand to revive Divine Flame Emperor from the graveyard!
Return to the field once again—
—Divine Flame Emperor Uriah!"
Flames soared, the fiery light reformed into the spiraling red Divine Dragon, its body seemingly covered in scorching magma.
Divine Flame Emperor, revived once again!
"Certainly, with more Traps in the graveyard," Yugen said, "Divine Flame Emperor Uriah’s Attack Power increases by 1000!"
[Divine Flame Emperor Uriah, Attack Power 5000]
Attack Power five thousand!
