Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

She inserted a card that emitted a dazzling light into the duel disk:

"Now that the stage is set up, let's restart the live stream!"

"I activate a Continuous Spell Card from my hand—[Live☆Twin Troublemakers]!"

"As part of the effect processing when this card is activated, I can add 1 'Live☆Twins' monster from my Deck to my hand."

The giant virtual screen lit up again, and a charismatic villainous virtual figure flashed across the screen.

"Resource replenishment! I've decided to add a second copy of [Live Stream Twin Lila - Sweet] to my hand from my deck!"

Just as Kissgill's fingers were about to touch the top of the deck, ready to add fuel to the fire of this frenzied live stream, a terrifying spacetime fluctuation suddenly erupted from Lucien's back row, which had been hidden in the shadows!

"Don't rush to the next act, this performance is a bit 'out of line'."

Lucien snapped his fingers gracefully, and the face-down card was suddenly flipped over, instantly revealing a huge, phantom mechanical clock that enveloped the entire arena:

"Chain the activation effect of your Perpetual Magic [Live Stream ☆ Twin Troublemakers]!"

"I open the face-down card and activate the counter trap card—[Time Stalker - Reverse]!"

"When you control a 'Time Stalker' Xyz Monster, negate the activation of a Spell/Trap Card and use it as Xyz Material!"

"Let the gears of time turn back—this moment does not exist!"

"I'm deactivating your [Live Stream ☆ Twin Troublemakers] effect!"

As Lucien pronounced his verdict, the virtual screen that had just lit up behind Kiskill instantly distorted.

The scene that was playing seemed to have been rewound, then turned into countless fragmented data streams, which were sucked into the giant gear behind the blonde girl on the field—[Time Stalker - Constant Motion Chain Operator].

"Furthermore, overlay it below [Time Stalker - Perpetual Motion Chain Member] as Xyz Material!"

"Click".

A crisp snapping sound rang out. The magic card representing the Twins' resources transformed into a shimmering stardust, becoming the fuel that powered the time machine.

"Tch! It's that annoying trick again!"

Watching helplessly as her key card was "confiscated," Kisskill clicked her tongue in annoyance. But the fighting spirit in her eyes did not fade; instead, it burned even brighter.

She suddenly pulled a card from her hand and held it high:

"Since you like playing control, then let's cool down this stage!"

"I activate the effect of [Live Stream ☆ Twin Kissgeller - Frost Spirit]!"

"If you control a 'Lira' monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand!"

"Falling Snow - Special Summon!"

"Snap—"

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out in the air. In the previously bustling neon-lit space, holographic snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky.

Amidst a chilling mist, a girl dressed in a fluffy white down jacket gracefully landed.

She has the same exquisite face as Kiskill, but compared to the original fiery one, this "Frost Fairy" exudes a chilling aura, like a winter elf.

【Live Stream☆ Twin Kissgeller Frost Spirit】【★2】

[Light/Aquatic/Effect] [Attack: 500 / Defense: 0]

With the two monsters gathered, Kiskill didn't hesitate and immediately waved her hand again, causing the surrounding data radiance to converge towards her frantically:

"Rira-chan, it's time to change! Come and perform the best climax with me!"

Although Lila beside him did not speak, the data in her eyes flashed faster instantly, a tacit confirmation.

"Ok!"

"Appear, circuit leading to the future!"

"Arrow confirmed!"

"The summoning condition is—two monsters, including the 'Rila' monster!"

"I will use the [Live Stream Twin Rila - Sweet] on the field and the [Live Stream Twin Kissgill - Frost Spirit] that just appeared as materials to perform a Link Summon!"

The figures of the two girls instantly disintegrated. The red light and the icy blue data intertwined and collided, eventually transforming into a deeper and more dangerous beam of light, which crashed heavily into the holes on the left and below of the connecting circuit, illuminating them in a bone-chilling blue.

"Circuit closed! Deep access - logical decision."

"Link Summon! Appear, you blue executioner of the night—[Evil★Twin Lila]!!"

"Sizzle sizzle—!"

The sound of the pixel blocks exploding was crisp, like ice cracking, and a girl exuding a silent killing intent slowly emerged from the deep blue light.

Her short, dark blue hair fluttered slightly in the electronic storm, and a precision tactical goggle flashing with purple code adorned her right eye as she continuously analyzed the enemy's weaknesses.

She wore a strikingly aggressive, deep blue, functional trench coat, from which eerie blue sparks constantly danced.

She didn't stand like an ordinary person, but floated upside down in mid-air, her hands hanging naturally at her sides. With the slight twitching of her fingertips, several plasma blades flashing with high-frequency blue light swirled around her like fish, emitting a dangerous buzzing sound.

Those cold eyes were fixed on Lucien through the goggles, and a faint, emotionless smile curled at the corner of his lips.

【Evil★Twin Lila】

[Link-2] [Left/Bottom] [Dark/Demon/Link/Effect] [Attack Power: 1100]

"Target Locked".

Kiskill's voice overlapped with Lira's, carrying a sense of vengeful pleasure:

"I activate the entry effect of [Evil★Twin Lila]!"

"If this card is Special Summoned, if you control a 'Kissgill' monster, you can target 1 card on the field: Destroy that card!"

Kisskill suddenly pointed to Lucien's last unsettling backcourt card:

"Because I still have [Live☆Twin Lila·Sweet] on the field, the condition is met!"

"Get out of my way, you eyes!"

"I'm targeting that face-down card in your back row—destroy it!!"

As the command was given, a red light flashed on the goggles of the upside-down Lila, and several plasma blades beside her instantly transformed into blue meteors, tearing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for Lucien's Geka!

Upon hearing these words, Lucien immediately spoke up!

"Chain with the effect of your [Live ☆ Twin Rila Sweet], I activate the Trap Card - [Time Stalker Power Storage]!"

"His effect is that after this card is activated, it becomes a Normal Monster (Psychic-Type, DARK, Level 4, ATK 1900/DEF 2500) and is Special Summoned to the Monster Zone (also used as a Trap Card)."

"After that, you can Special Summon 1 Machine-Type 'Time Stalker' monster from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard."

"I choose to Special Summon it!"

Chapter 242 The Lonely Shadow Hovering Over the Tower of Victory! The Shadow Without Light, A-Bao-A-Ku!

"At the moment when time is rewritten, the past and the future will converge here!"

Lucien showed no panic in the face of the rapidly approaching blue light blade.

He elegantly flipped open the trap card, and countless intricate golden gears instantly appeared in the air behind him.

"Trap Card - [Time Stalker - Power Reserve] activated!"

"After this card is activated, it will be Special Summoned to the Monster Zone as a Normal Monster (Psycho-Type, DARK, Level 4, ATK 1900/DEF 2500)!"

But that's not all—

Lucien lightly tapped his finger in the air, as if turning the hands of fate:

"As an additional effect, I can Special Summon 1 Machine-Type/Psychic-Type 'Time Stalker' monster from my hand or Deck!"

"Reveal yourself, Interferer of Time!"

"I choose to Special Summon [Time Stalker Crown Operator] from my deck in Defense Position!"

"Click, click..."

With the sound of the clockwork being wound up, the trap card transformed into a sophisticated mechanical puppet shimmering with a ghostly blue light—[Time Stalker - Power Reserve], its heavy armor standing like a city wall in front of Lucien.

At the same time, the spacetime rift opened again, and a blue-haired man with a blue scarf around his neck and holding sophisticated instruments leaped out. His eyes were calm, and the tools in his hands spun rapidly, as if he were adjusting the flow of the entire battlefield.

[Time Stalker - Crown Operator] [★4]

[Dark/Psychic/Effect] [Attack: 1800 / Defense: 1300]

Seeing the monsters instantly covering the opposite side, Kiskill was not angry. Instead, a sly smile of triumph curled at the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, thank you for your cooperation, young master golden retriever~"

Kisskill pointed to the constantly scrolling red data stream beside her:

"Now, based on the effect of the [Evil Twins Kiskills: Trade] I activated earlier!"

"Every time my opponent activates an effect by chaining it to their own 'Kissgeller' or 'Lila' monster's effect, I have to pay a cost—I draw 1 card!"

"Resource Get!"

Kiskill elegantly drew a card from the top of the deck, then his eyes sharpened as he pointed forward:

"Even though you've called in reinforcements, the original verdict won't be overturned!"

"The destruction effect of [Evil★Twin Lila] must be resolved—your Trap Monster [Time Stalker Power Reserve] must be destroyed here!"

"Even turning into a monster won't change its broken fate! Shatter!"

"boom--!!"

The blue plasma blade sliced ​​through the mechanical golem's armor without any resistance. In a violent explosion, the newly appeared [Time Stalker - Power Reserve] instantly turned into a shower of scrap metal and data debris.

Despite the collapse of the defenses, Lucien maintained that infuriatingly elegant smile, as if everything was under control.

"Of course I know this kind of thing. Sacrificing a piece is to gain a more crucial future."

Lucien pushed up his glasses, a sharp, cold glint flashing across the lenses:

"The moment [Time Stalker - Crown Operator] appears, I will activate its effect!"

"If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can activate this effect. Add 1 'Time Stalker' card from your Deck to your hand, except for the card with the same name."

Lucien precisely draws a card from his deck and reveals it to his opponent:
