Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: Breaking Limits!

"The effect of Shining Sarcophagus — I add the Quick-Play Spell ’Future Silence’ from my deck to my hand!"

The sacred golden chest slowly opened a slit at the top, a beam of golden light shooting out and landing in Kira’s hand.

"Next, I normal summon ’Silent Magician Zero!’ "

This was the monster card previously searched with the effect of "Witch of the Black Forest" last turn.

The golden chest once again shone, and the light formed a magic circle on the ground. Dressed in new attire, Silent Magician spun lightly out of the circle. Compared to her previous form, she was much smaller, shorter, and not as curvy, but she still wore a serious expression with her cheeks puffed out.

[Silent Magician Zero, ATK 1000]

"Battle," said Kira. "Silent Magician Zero, direct attack!"

Silent Magician raised her staff, white light gathering at its tip and forming a surging orb, ready to fire.

Wicked God: "A mere 1000 attack-point weakling..."

But before he could finish, Kira interrupted: "At this moment, I activate the Quick-Play Spell ’Future Silence!’ "

The spell appeared in the back row, its power resonating with the charging Silent Magician. The card art depicted Silent Magician Zero transforming into her mature form.

"This card lets me add another ’Shining Sarcophagus’ monster from my deck to my hand.

Furthermore, if both the Shining Sarcophagus and a related monster are on the field, both players draw until they each have six cards in hand!"

Precision search + Pot of Greed!

Of course, it only works while Silent Magician Zero is on the field.

Both players instantly refilled their hands to six cards. Kira continued: "At this moment, Silent Magician Zero’s effect activates!

Every time the opponent draws a card, Silent Magician gains one level!

Since you just drew six cards, Silent Magician’s level increases by six!"

[Silent Magician Zero, LV4 → LV10]

She advanced in one go to a level on par with the gods, and her body also rapidly matured, growing visibly taller, the empty ground rising up, turning into towering mountains.

"Silent Magician Zero’s attack increases by 500 for every level gained," said Kira. "Six levels up, so her attack increases by 3000!"

[Silent Magician Zero, ATK 1000 → ATK 4000]

Jaden: "Awesome! Her attack just shot up to 4000!"

If this attack goes through, it’s just enough to wipe out the Wicked God’s remaining life points!

"In your dreams." The Wicked God sneered, "But at the very moment you activated a Quick-Play Spell, my trap card was also chained!

Trap card ’Back to the Front’ — revive a monster in Defense from the graveyard! Of course, I’ll revive this one—

—The Wicked Eraser, come back!"

The other two Wicked Gods temporarily shuffled back into the deck, so only Eraser could be revived from the grave. Even if all three were there, he’d still choose Eraser — the other two might block attacks for one turn, but would return to the grave at the end of the turn, making them pointless.

Only Eraser, upon going to the grave, wipes out all other cards on the field — he’s both defense and offense.

[The Wicked Eraser, DEF 2000]

Of course, this time, Eraser had lost the Divine Evolution boost. Kira currently had two cards on the field, so Eraser’s defense was 2000. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Go on, try to defeat Eraser!"

The Wicked God laughed arrogantly.

At that moment, he intended to see Silent Magician and that annoying golden chest perish!

"...Then I’ll rewind the battle and hold off on attacking."

Kira revealed another card in his hand.

"Main Phase 2: I activate the spell card ’Double Summon’ to gain an extra normal summon this turn.

From my hand, I summon in Defense the card I just searched with ’Future Silence’ — ’Gadget Trio!’ "

This is, of course, the classic trio of Red, Green, and Yellow Gadgets, a monster series Yugi himself used. Here, the three gear brothers became one card, all summoned to the same monster zone.

[Gadget Trio, DEF 1100]

"When Gadget Trio is successfully summoned, I can add a Spell or Trap card with ’Shining Sarcophagus’ in its name from my deck to my hand."

The golden chest slowly opened again, a beam of golden light flying out and transforming into a card in Kira’s hand.

"I add the Quick-Play Spell ’Turn Silence’ to my hand."

The Wicked God roared, "It doesn’t matter what you do! No matter how many you summon, how much you set up, in front of Eraser, all will be annihilated!"

Eraser also roared, as if to declare his overwhelming power.

"Is that so?" Kira smiled. "If you can do it, then try.

I end my turn."

The Wicked God frowned.

"I don’t know what you’re up to, but...

Eraser!"

Eraser grinned: "Gladly!"

The Wicked God’s ability activated again. His body began to dissolve, turning into immense darkness spreading out, trying to drag Silent Magician and the golden chest into the abyss.

But right then, Silent Magician raised her staff high, and a shield of sacred white light, etched with complex runes, materialized, stubbornly resisting the encroaching darkness!

Kira said, "Silent Magician Zero has already evolved power enough to resist the gods."

"Nonsense!" the Wicked God snarled, "No matter the power, a mere magician’s effect is useless against gods!"

"It’s not a monster effect — it’s a magic."

Kira smiled, twirling the card between his fingers.

"This card I just searched — Quick-Play Spell ’Turn Silence.’ This card’s true power only unlocks when both the Shining Sarcophagus and a related monster are present on the field.

When chained to an opponent’s monster effect, it negates that monster’s effect on the same chain!"

The Wicked God’s pupils shrank.

Magic cards do affect gods for one turn...

"Therefore, the ’The Wicked Eraser’ effect activated on this chain is negated!"

said Kira.

"And, Turn Silence also lets me raise the level of my targeted monster by three!

I increase ’Silent Magician Zero’ by three more levels!"

[Silent Magician Zero, LV10 → LV13]

Silent Magician, Level 13!
