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

Having cleared the biggest obstacle, Kisskill's wicked smile deepened. She slowly raised her head, looking at the sky shrouded in neon lights and black smoke:

"Now that the troublesome fellow has disappeared, let's use this grand sacrifice to welcome true despair!"

"It's not over yet! This is the final encore!"

Kiskill suddenly waved her hand, pointing to the empty graveyard:

"Next, I activate the follow-up effect of [Evil★Troublemaker Sunny] in the graveyard!"

"You can activate this effect by banishing this card from your Graveyard, then sending 1 'Evil Twins' monster from your hand, Deck, or field (face-up) to the Graveyard."

"This is the final cleanup—selective effect: Send 1 card on the field to the Graveyard!"

Goodbye, I'll miss you, Sunny!

A golden stream of data lit up Kissgill's fingertip, and the phantom of Sunny in the graveyard flashed by, vanishing in a streak of light. Immediately afterward, a card automatically popped from the deck:

"As a price, I'm sending [Evil Twins Kisgiler Lira] from my deck to the graveyard!"

As the price was paid, an invisible law of destruction instantly locked onto Lucien's only barrier on the field:

"Target Locked!"

"Activate the effect of [Evil★Twin Slayer Trouble Sunny] to send your [Time Stalker Crown Operator] directly to the Graveyard!!"

Lucien adjusted his glasses, watching the monster disappear from the field, but he didn't seem to care.

Knowing that your [Time Stalker - Clockwork Repairer] possesses the ability of a second-speed field, do you choose not to attack him?

Wise choice.

Kisskill suddenly drew a card from her hand, her red eyes flashing like flames.

Without the slightest hesitation, she pinched the card between her fingertips, raised it high, and her voice pierced through the oppressive aura emanating from the griffin:

"Next, I activate the equipment magic card in my hand—[Otherworldly Resurrection]!"

"This is a recall order that transcends dimensions!"

"You can activate this card by discarding 1 card from your hand and targeting 1 banished monster of yours."

"Special Summon that monster in Attack Position and equip this card. — When this card leaves the field, that monster is also destroyed."

Kiskill's lips curled into a confident smile, the kind of self-assurance a hunter displays when closing the net:

"I will sacrifice one of my cards to the graveyard!"

With a flick of her wrist, the Cost card in her hand transformed into a streak of light and plummeted into the abyss of the graveyard. Immediately afterward, she slammed [Dimensional Resurrection] into the Spell & Trap Zone of the Duel Disk.

"Target Lock - Exclusion Zone!"

"On this stage sealed by nightmares, only the queen who creates chaos can break the silence!"

"Come back! Let the world be engulfed in frenzy once more—[Evil★Troublemaker Sunny]!"

"Buzz—Click!"

Within the griffin's suffocating domain, the void suddenly shattered like a mirror.

A highly discordant, noisy, and glitch-art-like crack tore open across the field.

A dazzling array of neon lights burst forth from it, creating a striking visual contrast with the oppressive, dark gothic style of the surrounding area.

Amidst a piercing yet exhilarating electronic sound effect, the enormous neon throne, which had just vanished, crashed onto the battlefield once more, accompanied by a barrage of golden bullets and graffiti!

"Hello again~! Did you miss me, you idiots?!"

As the smoke cleared, the blonde girl—Sunny—sat atop the throne, arrogantly crossing her legs.

She deftly twirled the microphone in her hand, her wild eyes scanning the entire room, her face radiating an arrogant "I'm back" aura.

The equipment magic card [Dimensional Resurrection] has now transformed into several dimensional chains shimmering with a strange light, connecting Sunny's throne with Kissgill's duel disk. It is both a constraint and an anchor point that allows her to remain in the mortal world.

【Evil★Troublemaker Sunny】】【Attack Power: 3300

At this moment, everything is ready!

A flash of data light appeared in Kiskill's eyes, and she immediately said:

"Next, I will perform a Link Summon again!"

"Appear, circuit that connects to the future!"

"Arrow confirmed! The summoning condition is—two or more monsters with different card names!"

"I've assigned the Link-2 [Evil Twins Kissgeller] and the Link-2 [Grand Coffin of the Chroma] to the arrows!"

One red and one dark red, two massive energy streams shot into the sky.

Kiskill opened her arms wide, as if embracing some indescribable horror:

"Weaving fantasies of despair, tearing apart the veil of reality!"

"When the boundary between dreams and reality is broken, nightmares will become the only truth!"

"At this moment, let the world be shrouded in a golden nightmare!"

"Link Summon! Link-4 - [Phantom Collapse Griffin]!!"

"Buzz—!!!"

The previously noisy electronic music abruptly stopped, replaced by a deep, magnificent yet distorted orchestral sound, like a hymn to the end of the world.

In the void, a huge golden rift was ripped open by an invisible claw.

In that dazzling yet cold golden light, a massive, cyborg griffin, as large as a small mountain, flapped its wings and emerged.

It was not made of flesh and blood; its entire body was covered in heavy purple armor with a cold, metallic texture, and strange data runes flowed on each plate.

Those enormous wings were not feathers, but were made of countless sharp golden blades stacked together. With each flap, they would cut visible wind pressure and cracks in the earth.

Embedded in its chest is a huge, purple core that exudes a chaotic aura. Its deep light seems to be the source of all nightmares, and just looking at it makes one's soul tremble.

【Dreamlike Collapse - Griffin】

[Link-4] [Top/Left/Right/Bottom]

[Light/Demon/Link/Effect] [Attack Power: 2500]

It did not roar like a beast, but stood quietly in the center of the battlefield, coldly overlooking the entire battlefield with its electronic eyes that flashed with eerie green light.

However, the moment it arrived, an invisible yet suffocatingly heavy force field instantly spread out, enveloping the entire space.

All the monsters and all the effects seemed to be strangled by this power.

The moment that enormous cyborg descended, the air pressure in the entire cyberspace seemed to become heavy.

Kissgiler leaped lightly and landed steadily next to the huge metal head of [Dream Shattered Shadow - Griffin].

She wasn't afraid of the monster's terrifying aura. Instead, she gently patted its cold, heavily armored face as if petting her own docile pet.

"Good boy, well done."

Kisskill looked down at the person opposite her, the wicked smile on her lips becoming increasingly alluring and dangerous:

"Go ahead and give that 'elegant gentleman' across the way some peace and quiet."

【Dreamlike Collapse - Griffin】

【Link-4】【Up/Left/Right/Down】【Earth/Demonic/Link/Effect】【Attack Power: 2500】

"Since the shackles are already on you, then let me send you on your final journey!"

Chapter 245 Absolute Lockdown! One-Sided Skill Draw!

Originally, according to the optimal solution, Kissgill should have used [Day of the Demon's Tears] to revive [Evil★Troublesome Twins Saga] in the graveyard, saving it for Lucien's turn to interfere with resources.

But since Kiskill is the last move, there's no need for that!

She now has to both kill and disrupt!

"For this grand finale, even forbidden power, I will grasp it in my hands!"

Kissgil's eyes blazed red like a burning flame. She abruptly drew a card from her hand and, with a desperate, all-or-nothing air, plunged it into the Spell & Trap zone of the Duel Disk:

"Next, I activate the Equip Spell Card from my hand—[Premature Burial]!"

"This is a deal that comes at the cost of lives!"

"Pay 800 Life Points to target 1 monster in your Graveyard to activate this card."

"Special Summon that monster in Attack Position and equip it with this card. — When this card is destroyed, that monster will also be destroyed."

[Kissgilller LP: 8000 → 7200]

As her health points were deducted, Kiskill's face paled slightly for a moment, but the smile on her lips became even more insane.

On the ground, a scarlet cross suddenly lit up, as if it were a one-way street leading to hell.

"Return once more from the other side of the River Styx! Vessel that bears sins!"

"I hereby Special Summon the [Gravestone of the Demon] from the Graveyard!!"

"Boom—"

The earth trembled once more, and the blood-red holy coffin, bound by chains and curses, slowly rose from the crimson cross of light, accompanied by a teeth-grinding grinding sound.

Its surface, where magma flowed, was even dimmer than before, as if carrying resentment and bitterness from the underworld, as it crashed heavily onto the battlefield.

However, looking at the field full of powerful monsters, Kiskill's ambition was not satisfied.

She didn't glance at the sacred coffin again, but slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the arrogant Sunny beside her and the newly resurrected coffin. Her voice became ethereal and sacred:

"Not enough...not enough!"

"That alone is not enough to explain the dimensional bond between us!"

She suddenly opened her arms wide, as if to embrace the entire virtual world:

"I activate the effect of [Evil★Gemini Kisgiler Lira] that was previously sent to the graveyard!"

"This card cannot be Normal Summoned. It can only be Special Summoned from your hand or Graveyard by Tributing 2 Link Monsters on your field."

"I'm sending my Link-2 Link Monster 'Gravestone the Great Coffin' and Link-4 Link Monster 'Evil★Twin Slayer Sunny' to the Graveyard!!"

"what?!"
