Description
This card can't be Normal Summoned or Set. This card must be Special Summoned with "Divine Evolution". Unaffected by other card effects and you can only control 1 "Obelisk the Progenitor". You can‘t active Spell and Trap cards or Monster effects while this card is on the field. If this card is send to the GY: You can Special Summon 1 "Obelisk the Tormentor" from your GY, but its effect are negated until your opponents Standby Phase. You can Tribute 2 monsters on your field to active following effect: Your opponent can‘t active Monster effects in the Battle Phase.

If you don‘t know who is Obelisk The Progenitor:
There exists a spin-off manga named "Yu-Gi-Oh! R" whose story is focused on explaining the hierarchy of the Egyptian and Wicked Gods (their evil counterparts). Also there is a Spell Card named "Divine Evolution" which allows Low Hierarchy monsters gaining High Hierarchy. So with this Spell Card Obelisk The Tormentor becomes Obelisk The Progenitor (or in Japanese: True Obelisk) and gains the same Hierarchy like the Winged Dragon of Ra (and Wicked Avatar and Deadroot).

I just wanted an Obelisk for TCG which is good but also fair. He has his advantages and disadvantages.

I want to explain my choices for the effects:
"Unaffected by other Card effects“
-> Obelisk The Progenitor is the only God Card with protection. But his protection against Targeting is really weak and just adding „Not Destroyable“ wasn‘t enough for me. So I think he deserve the best protection you can get: Unaffected by all other card effects.

"You can‘t active Spell and Trap cards and Monster effects"
-> It is clear: Monsters with high ATK and best protection needs disadvantages. I also wanted that only Obelisk The Progenitor is the best card on your field.

"If this card is sent to the GY: Special Summon Obelisk The Tormentor from your GY.“
-> I didn‘t want to waste the normal Obelisk. Progenitor isn‘t protected against Tributing (Kaijus, Lava Golem, Sphere Mode Ra) and Battle Destroying (like I said, he needs advantages). You need to send normal Obelisk to summon Progenitor, but when Progenitor is send to the GY, you can summon as a comeback the normal Obelisk.

"Special Summoned Obelisk the Tormentors effects are negated"
-> If Tormentor is special summoned, in the End Phase you have to send him to the GY. But with this Negation, he stays.

"Tribute 2 Monsters to negate all opponents Monster effects on the field in BP"
-> Progenitors normal tributing effects are gaining infinity attack points, destroy all opponents monsters and the opponents gains 5000 damage. So it clear Infinity attack points are not real numbers, it won‘t work by ruling reasons. And 5.000 damage is too much and overpowered. So I think instead of destroying just negate all monster effects, he will do enough damage with his base 5.000 atk. He doesn‘t need infinity ATK points or 5.000 effect damage.
