"With the effect of Monster Reborn, I return ’The Wicked Dreadroot’ to my hand," the Wicked God said with a sinister grin.
"Now, I believe I don’t need to say what will happen next, President Seto Kaiba?"
Kaiba’s expression remained impassive as always. He simply replied, "Enough talk. If you’re coming, then come."
"Heh, so confident, aren’t you? Very well. Then let me shatter both your Blue-Eyes and your confidence into dust!"
The Wicked God played another card from his hand.
"First, I activate the Continuous Spell Precious Cards from Beyond. As long as this card remains on the field, whenever I perform a Tribute Summon using two or more monsters, I can draw two cards from my deck!"
Preparations complete, the shadowy Dreadroot of the Wicked God raised its arm, holding the key card between two fingers.
"I tribute the three ’Dimension Jars’ on my field! Once again, I gather the ultimate fear of this world and make it tremble before me—
—The Wicked Dreadroot, Summon!"
The three Dimension Jars were crushed to powder once more. An overwhelming darkness was summoned, pouring down from the sky like a black waterfall. With a flash, the giant shadow of the Wicked God descended again, roaring a challenge at the Ultimate Dragon that had previously defeated it.
[The Wicked Dreadroot, ATK 4000]
"At this moment, due to the effect of ’Precious Cards from Beyond,’ since I used more than two tributes for this summon, I draw two cards from my deck!"
The Wicked God drew two cards.
Kaiba stated, "It’s the same no matter how many times you try. The Wicked God’s power is useless against my Ultimate Dragon. As long as the Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is in the graveyard, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon can’t be targeted or affected by any of your card effects."
The Wicked God sneered, "A decent resistance, but if you think that makes you invincible, you’re naive, President Kaiba."
Kaiba frowned.
Unable to be targeted or affected by effects—while not absolute invincibility, it was close. Not even gods could affect the current Ultimate Dragon. Did his opponent already have a way to break through?
"A god’s power is limitless. Now, let me show you!"
The Wicked God slowly drew a card from his hand. For some reason, even before the card was played, Kaiba could sense something from it.
Power was pulsating, as if the card resonated with the Wicked God on the field, as if some demon was about to awaken.
"I activate the Spell Card—
—Divine Evolution!!!"
The moment the card was slotted into the duel disk, the world itself seemed to change.
The dark space trembled, the earth threatened to collapse. An earth-shaking force erupted from the Wicked God, as darkness as thick as ink blasted skyward.
Yet even more terrifying than the visuals was the Wicked God’s aura.
Kaiba could feel it. His Ultimate Dragon could feel it too, letting out a nervous roar.
The god’s aura was swelling!
Even Kaiba lost his composure for a moment, his expression shifting. "That card—does it elevate a god’s rank?"
The Wicked God laughed heartily.
