Effect
When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack: Negate the attack, then Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Fiend/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). (This card is also still a Trap Card.) During your Standby Phase, while this card is treated as a monster: You can banish any number of "Utopia" monsters with different names from your GY; inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each of those banished monsters, and if you do, this card gains ATK equal to the damage they took.
The effect of "①" is the effect applied when this card is activated.
When resolving the effect of "①", you perform the process of negating the attack. After that, you perform the process of Special Summoning this card to the Monster Zone as an Effect Monster. (These processes do not occur simultaneously.)
The effect "②" is a Trigger Effect that can be activated while this card is treated as an Effect Monster. (When activating this effect, you banish any number of "Utopia" monsters from your Graveyard as the cost.)
The effect "inflict 500 damage to your opponent for each card banished" and the effect "this card gains ATK equal to that amount" are performed simultaneously.
