Duels should be played with a smile.

As long as the Geminis don't jump out, the probability of winning this round increases significantly!

"And chain with another Shaddoll in the Graveyard! C3, if this card is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect: Draw 1 card!"

After the three simultaneous chain reactions were completed, priority finally shifted to Tarin, who quickly played her magic cards.

"Because I have the Fountain of the Divine Monument on my field, I can activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Frozen Curse of the Divine Monument]! Target the Kunkun on your field and negate its effect until the end of the turn! After that, banish the top 3 cards from your Deck!"

The freezing curse erupted instantly on Kun Kun's body. Before he could drain the water from the Divine Stele Spring, Kun Kun himself was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Having saved her Divine Stele Spring, Tarin breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw the card that had been banished from Shangmo's thick deck, a series of question marks immediately popped into her mind.

[Small World Phenomenon], [Machine Monster Insect - Cellular Insect], and [Tearful Elegy Clan - Siren Mermaid].

A universal search engine, a gyroscope, and... well, it's kind of like a gyroscope.

Isn't this kid using a Shaddoll deck? What's with all these weird stuff?

Thinking about the various incomprehensible things he might face next, Tarlin pondered for a moment and then immediately made a new decision.

Shaddoll is unlikely to deplete her 7000 LP in one turn, but it's hard to say if you add some weird stuff, so you have to take advantage of the moment to discover some new possibilities for yourself!

Seeing that Shangmo had drawn four cards due to the effect of Shaddoll, Tarin didn't wait for Shangmo to regain his priority and used up both of his cards in one go.

"Quick-Play Spell Card [Monument of Destruction]! Special Summon Hoogi from your Extra Deck in Defense Position!"

The Divine Monument has 3 extra monsters, but due to deck compatibility issues, Tarin only included 2 Level 2 Hoogi.

"Then comes [Sleeping Divine Stele]. Target my card 'Welcome' on the field and activate it. This turn, it can only be immune to battle and effect destruction once, and cannot attack. After that, banish 3 of your cards!"

Considering that Huki's defense is 0 and there is a possibility that it could be attacked multiple times and its defense could be penetrated, Tarlin chose to give this protection to Laiying.

Even a Destruction God that cannot be destroyed still has some value.

At the same time, it can be considered as using Huji as bait. As long as Huji is destroyed, the Destroyer God will have something to say.

However, when the three excluded cards were revealed, Tarlin's eyes twitched again.

Both the rampaging magic circle and the teaching saintess have appeared. Just how diverse is this kid's deck?

Although her own deck also features a 3-axis mix, it still can't compare to the opponent's N-axis mix.

"Because I activated the Divine Stele Quick-Play Spell Card, I then activate the effect of Divine Stele Fountain to return 3 Divine Stele Quick-Play Spell Cards from my Graveyard to my Deck and draw 3 cards!"

By using up all his cards in one go and then drawing back three, Tarlin made full use of the shameless effect of the Divine Stele Spring. While earning the admiration of most viewers, he also lowered people's expectations for Shangmo, who had just seemed to have turned the tide.

If a Kun Kun whose effect has been nullified wants to do something, the only thing it can do is probably to build a pseudo-canon and wait for the next round, right?

Because Laiying has a destruction resistance, Shangmo can only use Tiantong to kick Laiying once, consuming 3000 LP. If it were to fight other monsters, Tiantong wouldn't even be able to protect itself.

This sudden resurgence of tension made many viewers who were initially drawn to Shang Mo's youthful appearance hold their breath in worry.

However, even though Shado-no-Mae has been given a fake trophy, its value is still much greater than Sky Striker Princess turning into a Water Blade and waiting to die.

Tarin's thoughts were similar to most of the audience. She gripped her three cards tightly and said calmly, "I don't have any cards left to interfere with you right now, but that also means I have plenty of resources to defeat you next turn... How was my duel? Not bad, right?"

"Very strong." Shang Mo nodded honestly, and just as Talin was happy, Shang Mo immediately spoke again.

"Your duel is strong, but my deck answered my call, and I will answer them in return!"

"My duels still have many flaws, but in a duel, a little bit of luck can make up for these flaws."

"The moment you said you couldn't interfere with me, the outcome of this duel was already decided."

"And the equation for victory..."

Despite his not-so-tall stature, Shang Mo exuded an extraordinary aura, and for a moment, Tarin even felt as if he were facing legendary duelists.

"I will write the equation for victory!"

"The effect of [Slicing Machine Sigma] in my hand! Send [Slicing Machine Sigma] from my Deck to the Graveyard to activate this effect; summon this card from my hand! After this effect is activated, I can only attack with 1 monster until the end of this turn!"

[Light - 4★ - Electronic World - Attack Power 1500]

"There's also a card that can cut off machines?!" Tarin exclaimed. At this moment, she really felt that what Shangmo had just said about the deck responding to the call was not a lie.

"How deep must your bond with your deck be to avoid getting stuck with a bad hand?!"

Shang Mo scratched his head and chuckled, his slightly sly demeanor completely concealing the aura of a legendary duelist he once possessed.

"Sigma's effect in the Graveyard: This effect can be activated if this card is in your hand or Graveyard and you have no monsters in the Extra Monster Zone. Special Summon this card. After this effect is activated, you can only Special Summon Cyberse Extra Monsters until the end of this turn."

[Light 4★ Electronic World Adjustment Attack Power 1000]

"Tuner and non-Tuner monsters... also have the self-restraint that allows them to attack only once. I know you want to summon that monster, but don't forget that Synchro Summoning requires a certain level."

Talin glanced over and saw two 4-stars, one 1-star, and one 6-star, while the adjustment only had one 4-star. As things stand, it doesn't seem easy for Shangmo to collect exactly 12 stars.

"Of course I know! I told you, my duel has flaws, but my luck has made up for them. I'll show you how I'm going to defeat you soon, but before that, there's one more thing to do."

"Yuanwu's effect: If this card is already in the Monster Zone and you have two other [Slash] monsters on your field, you can activate this effect to search for 1 [Slash] Spell/Trap Card from your Deck."

"I'm adding the [Slashing Blade Nayuta] to my hand!"

If we were to search for "[Slaying Machine Super Factorial]", we could say that we'll leave it for next time. But the moment Shang Mo gets his hands on the Slaying Machine Blade, we can say that his killing intent is already set.

With the knife in hand, Shang Mo's youthful smile became somewhat inexplicable.

"Now everything is ready, except for the final push. You can see what I'm lacking on the field, right?"

"You have a 4-star adjustment, and you still need to get an 8-star, but your choices are basically 7-star, 4-star, and... wait?!"

As he counted, Tallinn suddenly realized something.

"Looks like you've figured it out!" Shang Mo said with a malicious smile, slapping out the card he had been waiting for.

“I have another option: to use Kunkun’s 6-star monster plus a 2-star monster to make 8 stars. I don’t actually have any monsters in my hand or on the field that meet the requirements.”

"But...I don't have it, but you do!"

"Spell Card [Triple Champion]! Because you activated a monster effect during my Main Phase, I can choose one of your monsters and gain control of it until the end of this turn!"

"Thank you in advance! Can I borrow your Husky for a moment?"

The greedy and fickle Banbing instantly unleashed the effect of mind change, capturing the Level 2 monster Hoogi and bringing it to Shangmo's field. Forced to change its mind, Hoogi could only watch longingly as it gazed at its former master, wondering what kind of torment it would have to endure before it could return.

Will I... be subjected to some unspeakable punishment?

Fortunately, Shangmo is still a minor, so there won't be any special CGs like the rhinoceros dinosaur hunting the divine bow.

"Next, it's time to secure the victory!"

"I will use the Level 4 Tuner Monster Sigma, the Level 2 Hoogie, and the Level 6 Kunkun as materials for a Synchro Summon!"

Before the adorable Huggies could experience any wonderful adventures, he was ruthlessly used as material by the card dealer and sent back to his original graveyard.

"Unleashing an unyielding and powerful force within an endless cycle! Analyzing all things in the world with mathematical formulas! The ultimate mech warrior wielding the Crimson Blade! Annihilate your enemies with your flame-wreathed blade!"

"Summon Synchro Summon! Descend! LV12! [Flame Slash Machine: Final Sigma]!"

As if the world were created anew, through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, the equations exposed the weaknesses of everything, and the ensuing blazing sword light cleaved through all obstacles.

Born from countless formulas, the Crimson Swordsman descended upon this place after absorbing the power of the Divine Stele and the Divine Shadow.

[Fire - 12 Stars - Cyberse - Attack 3000 - Defense 0]

From the moment he descended upon the extra zone, he became the ultimate warrior!

"I'll equip the machine gun blade from my hand to Sigma! Then I'll enter battle!"

Originally, there were several effects that could have been activated since Kun Kun entered the graveyard, but at this point, all other actions are unnecessary.

"I never expected this... The luck you mentioned, is it actually referring to my greed?" Tarin stared at the ultimate machine-slaying warrior, speechless.

Both the End Sigma and the Destroyer God have 3000 attack power, but Shangmo even brought the Machine Slash Blade, so he must have also packed in a lot of other strange things.

His deck already contained a lot of strange things that he had seen in Tarlin.

"Combat Power! Final Sigma, Attack Destroyer Twin Gods!"

"Final Formula: Crimson Lotus Secret Technique: Ultimate Slash!"

The swordsman wielding the machine-slaying sword, accompanied by endless crimson flames, launched a final charge towards the God of Destruction.

Evenly matched.

But the next second, the Crimson Lotus Flame erupted even more fiercely from the Zanpakuto in the hands of the Final Sigma.

"The effect of the Slashing Blade: When the equipped monster battles an opponent's monster, send one [Slashing] monster from your Deck to the Graveyard. The equipped monster gains the ATK of the sent monster until the end of this turn!"

"I will send [Slaying Machine and Riding the Martial Arts] to the grave!"

The golden blade flashed across the blade, and Sigma the End, having gained the power of his comrades, had already overtaken the Destroyer God.

"If the monster is sent to the Graveyard, activate this effect: Target 1 of your Cybernetic monsters in the Extra Monster Zone, and its ATK is doubled until the end of this turn!"

Attack Power: 3000→3500→7000

"This is the ultimate truth of the end times!"

Flames erupted once more, and with a single slash of his blade, Sigmar the End, wielding the ultimate weapon, turned the arrogant Destroyer God to ashes.

"The effect of End Sigma: Battle damage inflicted on your opponent by battle with a monster from this card in the Extra Monster Zone is doubled!"

The flames shattered the demon god, and the flames swept through, engulfing the bitterly smiling Tarin.

Tallinn LP: 7000 → 0

"This is...a knife that penetrates the soul!"

Chapter 61 If you can't set up a puzzle, don't try to solve it.

"Hey! Judai, if I'm not mistaken, by the time you see this message, the world has probably changed a lot, right? And if you're still the same as before, even though your strength has long exceeded my expectations, your journey probably won't be very smooth."

"If this news comes a little late for you, don't worry about it. After what you've been through, you'll understand that no matter how strong a person is, they can't be perfect in every way, and even the wisest person can make a mistake."

"I don't know what your current situation is like, but my personal advice to you in advance is that if you feel that your life is pretty good right now, then continue on your own path. The path you choose always has its own meaning."

"But if you feel that your life right now is not good, that you are tired, and that it doesn't make you happy, then I hope you can take a good look back at every memorable thing you've experienced along the way..."

"Then, try to forget them—or put them out of your mind."

“A person carrying a heavy burden will not only not go far, but may also go down a different path.”

"Perhaps you already know how difficult it is to make choices, and therefore you are resistant to the act of making choices. But this time, I hope you can understand again that not knowing how to make choices is also a sign of immaturity."

"Only by learning from one's past immaturity can one truly grow."
