Second Effect

【Regarding the ② effect】

This is a Trigger Effect that can be activated in the Monster Zone by this card that was Special Summoned by the ① effect.

It is treated as a monster effect.

At the time of resolution, you perform the "this card is treated as the declared Attribute" process, and if that process is successful, the effect "if you Tribute Summon a monster with the same Attribute as this card, this card can be treated as 2 Tributes" is applied.

You can also activate this effect by declaring the same Attribute as this card or the DIVINE Attribute. (Even in that case, it is treated as having successfully performed the "this card is treated as the declared Attribute" process.)

When using this card as 2 Tributes for a Tribute Summon, you can also perform the Tribute Summon in face-down Defense Position.

If this card's monster effects are negated after this effect has been applied, the application of "this card is treated as the declared Attribute" is lost, but the application of the effect "if you Tribute Summon a monster with the same Attribute as this card, this card can be treated as 2 Tributes" is not lost.
