Chapter 1280: God's Evolution
"Continuous Trap – Skill Drain!"
The trap flipped, an invisible wave instantly enveloped the entire field, and all the monsters on the field seemed to dim a little.
"This is one of the most powerful killer moves created by our God's technology. Even with our power, we can only create one copy of this."
Paradox explained with a chuckle.
"This card requires 1,000 life points to activate. As long as ‘Skill Drain' exists on the field, all the effects of face-up monsters on the field will be negated!"
[Paradox, LP 3300 ? LP 2300]
When Yusei saw this trap, he had a bad feeling. Hearing Paradox's explanation, his face changed slightly.
What a terrible trap!
A continuous trap that could deprive any monster of its effects indiscriminately!
Yusei, who used the Synchron deck, understood better than anyone the importance of monster effects to a deck. With the development of Duel Monster cards to this point, the era of playing cards with Normies has long passed. Whether it was deployed or terminated, the current deck could not do without powerful monster effects.And this trap killed all possibilities in one breath.
Just as Paradox said, this card was a god-level trap that "kills even the opponent's will to resist"!
Yuei Vu's expression also became a little more solemn.
Although Paradox's confident look just now has made Yuei Vu a little concerned, he never thought that Paradox's so-called new power would actually be Skill Drain.
From this simple and rough effect description, it could be seen that this was another blessing for the nether players and the trump card of revenge against society.
As a nether trap from ancient times, it has been able to survive in one version after another with the changes of versions and times. Even in today's meta deck where "one card creates everything" was everywhere, it still had unparalleled dominance.
It could even be said that as monster effects occupy an increasingly important position in the environment, the suppression of Skill Drain had not only not decreased, but had become increasingly powerful. Often, if the player failed to find a way to solve the Skill Drain within a turn, the game would end directly.
Of course, even if it was such a powerful trap, its applicability was not that wide.
Because this thing was a double-edged sword, its effect was an indiscriminate weapon of mass destruction that did not distinguish between friend and foe.
While you used Skill Drain to make the opponent completely unable to operate, you would also be unable to operate smoothly because all effects were negated.
But Paradox's Malefic deck did not have such a problem!
The Malefic deck was originally full of big monsters with 4000 to 5000 ATK, and almost all of them could jump out directly without cost. Its biggest flaw was that all these high-attack monsters were Normies without any effect, and could be easily solved by the opponent.
But with the Skill Drain, all monsters have become Normie. However, Malefic monsters were Normies with a ceiling-level attack power!
With the effect of the Skill Drain, it was difficult for the opponent to summon even a decent monster. Facing big monsters with 4000 to 5000 ATK that could jump out for free, the suppression power was quite terrifying.
Not only that, but the Malefic Monster originally had side effects. The biggest weakness of Malefic monsters was "When there is no ‘Malefic World' on the field, this card will be destroyed."
But when the effect of "Skill Drain" was applied, even this side effect was negated!
In other words, now even if "Malefic World" left the field, the Malefic Monsters could continue to stay on the field because the self-destruction effect was no more.
Therefore, "Skill Drain" and the Malefic deck had a very good compatibility. Not only did it have a unilateral dominant suppression and interference ability on the opponent, but it also eliminated the side effects of the Malefic monsters.
"Z-ONE… This guy actually printed such a troublesome card for me." Yuei Vu muttered.
"I said that I am different this time." Paradox chuckled, "Can you break through this new trump card, Mr. Yuei Vu?"
He was telling the truth, he was really different from before.
Who can withstand Skill Drain? Facing this kind of anti-social ancient weapon, some top-tier meta decks may have to kneel down.
However…
Yuei Vu thought about it and swept his hand.
"Set three cards, I end my turn."
The effect of King's Knight was the key to the operation of the Three Musketeers deck. Under the interference of Skill Drain, this ability was negated, therefore the lineup could not be smoothly deployed.
"It seems that even Mr. Yuei Vu is temporarily powerless in the face of ‘Skill Drain'. Then I'm not polite here!
My turn, draw!"
Paradox raised his hand.
"Battle phase!
First, ‘Malefic-Paradigm Dragon', attack ‘Joker's Knight'!!!"
The three monsters on Paradox's field were all 4000 ATK monsters. Now that the Skill Drain was in effect, they wee basically invincible top-level combat power! As long as any one of them could successfully attack, it would be Paradox's victory immediately!
"Kuri Kuri!"
A small phantom appeared on the field, with snow-white hair, a blue hood and cape, and a cute little thing jumping around on Yuei Vu's field.
Kuribohrn!
"The effect of ‘Kuribohrn' in the graveyard!" Yuei Vu said, "When the opponent's monster declares an attack, banish this card from my Graveyard, and I can Special Summon any number of ‘Kuriboh' monsters in my graveyard!"
"The effect of monsters in the graveyard?" Paradox frowned.
"That's right, ‘Skill Drain' only negates the effects of monsters on the field, it doesn't apply to the effects in the graveyard." Yuei Vu said, "So I banish the ‘Kuribohrn' from my graveyard, and special summon ‘Winged Kuriboh'!"
"Kuriri!"
The fluffy ball with angelic wings jumped onto the field, flapping its wings to block in front of Yuei Vu.
[Winged Kuriboh, DEF 200]
"Winged Kuriboh, a monster that prevents you from taking battle damage in this turn after being destroyed." Paradox murmured, "It is indeed a very powerful defensive effect, and because it takes effect only after being destroyed and sent to the graveyard, ‘Skill Drain' cannot negate this effect.
But I don't need to attack it at all. As long as I defeat the ‘Joker's Knight' on your field, it will still be my victory…"
It could be seen that Brother Paradox's desire to survive has been maximized. As a villain, he did not mock Kuriboh…
"That's not necessarily true." Yuei Vu smiled.
"Hmm?"
"Who said I was going to use the effect of Winged Kuriboh to survive this turn?"
Paradox: "?"
"The reason why I used the effect of ‘Kuribohrn' was just because the tactics of the last turn were interrupted by ‘Skill Drain'.
But now, the conditions have been met."
Paradox's eyelids jumped.
"There are three monsters on the field. Could it be…"
The three knights of JQK were also known as the "Three Musketeers of Summoning God". Could it be that he can summon the Egyptian God in this situation?
No, it's impossible.
Now it's my turn. He can't…
"You are thinking that it's still your turn now, I can't summon God at all, right?" Yuei Vu said.
Paradox: "!"
"The Egyptian God is also constantly evolving." Yuei Vu said lightly, "Since you let me see the new power of ‘Malefic', then in exchange, I will also let you see the new power of the Egyptian God.
