The first way is with a [[Spell Card]] like "[[Monster Reborn]]", a [[Trap Card]] like "[[Call of the Haunted]]", or an [[Effect Monster]] like "[[Magical Scientist]]". The second way is built in to the monster, and Special Summons it without activating an effect, such as "[[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]" or "[[Dark Necrofear]]". "[[Royal Oppression]]" can negate both of these types of [[Special Summon]]. In the first case, you chain the activation of "[[Royal Oppression]]"'s effect to the activation of the Spell, Trap, or Monster Card's effect, and negate the effect.
