Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 990

Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Face-to-Face Provocation

"The ability to freely choose whether to accept effects... I see," the Wicked God said in a low voice.

"Is this the true ’absolute resistance’?"

"By amassing Dragons in the grave, it gains incredible power, plus absolute resistance. Indeed, a terrifying dragon."

Even as the Wicked God, he had to admit, in terms of resistance, he fell short.

By now, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon had gathered energy in its mouth, forming a huge glowing orb.

But at that moment, the Wicked God’s tone shifted to a sly smile.

"But, this so-called invincible resistance only applies to the dragon itself, right?"

Kaiba frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I activate my set card—Trap Card, High Speed Aria!

By giving up the ability to activate spells next turn and discarding a spell from my hand, this trap can gain the effect of that spell!" (Anime card)

The Wicked God discarded a spell.

"The spell I discard is—

—Soul Release!"

Kaiba’s eyes widened.

He knew this card well. Its effect was—

"’Soul Release’: Choose up to five cards from either graveyard. Remove them from play!" the Wicked God said.

At this point, the cards to be removed were obvious.

Five Dragons flew from Kaiba’s graveyard, turning into golden light and vanishing.

"I remove ’Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon,’ three ’Blue-Eyes White Dragons,’ and one ’Blue-Eyes Alternative’—five cards in total!

Now you have five fewer dragons in your graveyard, so Shining Dragon’s ATK drops by 1500!"

[ATK 5400 → 3900]

"Shining Dragon may ignore card effects, but your graveyard can’t," the Wicked God said. "Cut off its source, and no resistance can save it!

Perish before the Wicked God’s might, Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon!"

As Dreadroot prepared to counterattack, Kaiba shouted, "Shining Dragon, activate final ability!"

"What!? It has a final ability?"

"Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon can tribute itself to destroy any card on the field! This is a Quick Effect, and can even be activated on the opponent’s turn!

I tribute Shining Dragon to destroy ’The Wicked Dreadroot’—

—Radiant Nova!"

Shining Dragon erupted in a supernova-like flash!

In theory, the Wicked God couldn’t be destroyed by effects—but Kaiba, as a god wielder, knew this defense wasn’t absolute.

For example, Egyptian Gods can’t be forced off the field by effects, but Slifer was destroyed by Marik’s Ra, and Obelisk’s field-wipe also works on Slifer.

Gods have ranks. If the destruction effect outranks the god, it works.

Shining Dragon isn’t a god, but its power is extremely high. In the movie, it destroyed the otherwise impervious Pyramid of Light with its nova, even though the dragon itself was also destroyed.

So even if Kaiba continued attacking, not only would Shining Dragon be destroyed, he’d take battle damage. Better to gamble everything.

The nova exploded. When the light faded, darkness remained. The Wicked God still stood tall, exuding danger.

"That was close—Blue-Eyes really has such a terrifying card, and even a suicide attack.

Without Divine Evolution’s rank-up, I might have lost to that dragon."

"Because of High Speed Aria’s drawback, I can’t play any spells this turn. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
