Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 975

Chapter 975: Chapter 975: As a Duelist

A deep, earth-shaking roar echoed, as if some ancient beast was bellowing and shaking space itself. Darkness surged forth, like an eruption from the depths of hell, and jagged demonic armor slowly materialized. This was not armor forged by mortal hands, but a shell condensed from pure darkness and evil, its massive form looming like a mountain of pitch-black stone.

Evil HERO Malicious Bane, Summon!

[Evil HERO Malicious Bane, ATK 3000]

"Malicious Bane’s effect!" Jaden announced. "Once per turn, destroy all monsters your opponent controls with ATK equal to or less than this card’s ATK!

Malicious Destruction!"

Malicious Bane roared with a heavy fury, as boundless darkness surged forth again. Like a tsunami of shadow, it swept toward Yubel’s field, engulfing all in its wake. Under this hellish onslaught, even the high-level Zoa the Fiendish Beast was nothing but powerless fodder, unable to resist.

"So this is Malicious Bane... I see, this monster must be the embodiment of the Supreme King’s power," Yubel said.

The power that had once fought alongside her in a past life, sweeping through countless armies, was now standing in opposition.

"But even if the Supreme King wants me to give up, heh, it won’t be that easy."

Yubel’s tone suddenly rose as she activated another set card.

"Activate the face-down card—Continuous Trap: Limit Reverse! Revive a monster from the graveyard with 1000 or less ATK!"

Jaden’s eyes widened. "At this moment?"

It was natural for him to be surprised. After all, Malicious Bane’s field-wiping effect had just been activated, and Limit Reverse could only revive a monster with 1000 or less ATK. That meant whatever was revived would have less ATK than Malicious Bane.

Because Limit Reverse’s activation would be chained after Malicious Bane, it would resolve first. The revived monster would come onto the field, and then Malicious Bane’s effect would resolve—so no matter what was revived, it should still be destroyed.

"Could it be The Wicked Eraser?" Jaden said gravely.

If it was Eraser, maybe Malicious Bane’s destruction effect wouldn’t work against a god.

"No, Eraser’s ATK is ’?’," the Supreme King replied coolly. "It doesn’t satisfy Limit Reverse’s revival conditions."

Jaden realized, "Oh, I see!"

The language of the cards is vast and deep; the road to mastery is endless. But such theoretical knowledge wasn’t Jaden’s strong suit, so he often hesitated with details.

Of course, that never stopped him from dueling like a genius. Jaden was always more of an instinctual duelist than a thinker, and more often than not, his intuition proved more reliable than logic.

So if it wasn’t Eraser, then at this moment the only monster Yubel could revive was...

"No matter how many scars I bear, I’ll always return from the deepest depths of hell!

Revive from the grave—’Yubel’!"

A dark vortex opened beneath the ground, and from the swirling blackness, the form of a demon reconstituted. A double-sided body, with heterochromatic eyes seemingly stripped of emotion, vines covered in thorns snaking around her like living serpents.

[Yubel, ATK 0]

"Now, we resolve ’Evil HERO Malicious Bane’s’ effect, destroying all monsters I control," Yubel declared. "I have ’Zoa the Fiendish Beast’ and ’Yubel’ on the field.

Come, Supreme King. Use your absolute power to mercilessly trample me."

Malicious Bane’s attack surged forward like an avalanche. The two demons were consumed in an instant, eroded and dissolved by the darkness, erased as if they’d never existed.

Zoa the Fiendish Beast let out a scream and quickly vanished. Yubel too was swallowed by darkness, but instead of disappearing, her body rebounded with even greater force, rapidly growing into a mountainous dragon form, with two fierce dragon heads and a single blood-red eye in the center of her chest.

[Yubel - Terror Incarnate, ATK 0]

Yubel explained, "’Yubel’ was destroyed by a card effect, so I special summon the second form from my hand, deck, or graveyard...
