Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 931

Chapter 931: Chapter 931: Wicked Eraser

[The Wicked Eraser, ATK ?]

One of the Three Wicked Gods. In Yu-Gi-Oh! R, it was once held by Yako Tenma, using the Wicked God’s power to challenge Yugi’s Egyptian Gods. During that period, even Seto Kaiba was defeated at Yako’s hands.

Although it looked like Kaiba lost to Yako, in truth Yako was basically already being controlled by the Three Wicked Gods. So the one Kaiba truly lost to was the Wicked God.

Of course, a natural doubt surfaced in Kira’s mind.

Didn’t Pegasus swear the Wicked Gods had already been destroyed?

After Yu-Gi-Oh! R ended, the Three Wicked Gods were generally considered completely eliminated. But if they truly rivaled the Egyptian Gods, how could they be so easily erased?

Especially since the manga’s final duel was mainly about Yugi awakening Yako’s true heart and helping him break free of the Wicked Gods’ control. As for what happened to the Wicked Gods afterward, it was glossed over.

For something at the Wicked Gods’ level, Kira believed Pegasus and Yako were telling the truth—the cards were destroyed. But he suspected only the cards were destroyed.

Cards were merely the medium by which a god descended into the world. Destroying the card only destroyed the channel. The Wicked God itself wouldn’t be that easy to erase.

"Wicked Eraser’s ATK is determined by the number of cards on my opponent’s field," Eraser said. "My ATK is the number of cards on your field × 1000!

You currently control three Sheep Tokens, Uria, Lord of Searing Flames, and the Field Spell Fallen Paradise—five cards total!

Therefore my ATK becomes 5000!"

[The Wicked Eraser, ATK ? → ATK 5000]

This effect also reflected how Wicked Gods corresponded to Egyptian Gods. Slifer’s ATK is the controller’s hand size × 1000; meanwhile, Eraser—Slifer’s counterpart—uses the opponent’s field count × 1000. It felt like an homage... though the strength depended on the opponent’s board, which indeed made it less convenient than Slifer.

Uria howled again, but with much less confidence. Its head drooped slightly as it stole a glance at its master, as if to say: Should we... maybe back off a little?

It couldn’t be blamed. Uria was basically a budget Slifer, and the opponent was an Wicked God on Slifer’s tier—plus the ATK difference was real.

"There are other monsters on my field, so I couldn’t attack this turn anyway," Kira said. "My turn ends."

Of course, he knew that even without attacking, Uria probably wouldn’t escape Eraser’s grasp.

As for why—

"Heh. Like the Egyptian Gods, a Wicked God Special Summoned to the field can remain only one turn," Eraser said. "Therefore, during this End Phase, I—Special Summoned by a card effect—must return to the Graveyard..."

In the real card game, the Wicked Gods were changed from Divine-Beast to Fiend, their divine attribute was changed to DARK, and they were given the restriction "cannot be Special Summoned." But in the original source, Wicked Gods and Egyptian Gods shared the same general rule: a god revived from the Graveyard can remain on the field for only one turn.

"Also, The Wicked Eraser’s final effect is—" Eraser laughed loudly. "When Eraser is sent to the Graveyard, all cards on the field are sent to the Graveyard!" (Anime effect)

The real card version became: "If Eraser is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, destroy all cards on the field." Only a few words changed, but the power dropped drastically. Destroying cards versus sending them directly to the Graveyard were completely different tiers of board wipe.

Meanwhile, the real card version of Eraser has an effect to self-destruct during the Main Phase; the original version did not—its annihilation effect only triggered when it was passively sent to the Graveyard.

"The end of all things!"

Bound for departure, Eraser erupted with endless darkness and chaos—like a black tsunami sweeping the world.

Everything touched by that darkness seemed dragged into the domain of annihilation. A darkness enough to extinguish stars devoured matter and energy alike, turning them into nothingness. No light. No hope. Only eternal darkness and disorder.

When the darkness finally passed, like a raging wind, nothing remained but ruin.

Total annihilation!
