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

"Hmph! You want to burn my precious pet to death?"

"Was it with the owner's permission?"

"Snapped!"

She snapped her fingers suddenly, and the card behind her, which had been face down, instantly flipped open, bursting forth with a dazzling pink glow:

"Chain the effects of your [Divine Stele of Radiant Flame]!"

"I open the face-down card and activate the Continuous Trap Card—[Evil Twins for an Easy Clear]!"

"This is a sarcastic remark prepared specifically for you!"

"The effect of this card name ① can only be used once per turn."

"You can Tribute 1 'Giskiller' monster or 'Lila' monster you control, and choose one of the two effects to activate!"

"I choose the second effect—it can only be activated when the effect of a Spell/Trap/Monster that destroys a card on the field is activated. That effect—negate!!"

Kisskill pointed without hesitation to the blue-haired partner beside her:

"Sorry, Rila-chan, take this hit for me first!"

"no problem."

Without any hesitation, the [Evil Twin Lila] on the field leaped high into the air just as the divine fire was about to touch the griffin. Her body instantly disintegrated in mid-air, turning into countless dark blue data cubes, which quickly reassembled in front of the griffin.

"System Override - Deploy the defense matrix!"

"Bang—Zzzzz!!"

The divine flames of radiance crashed violently against the blue data barrier formed by Lira.

Ancient magic clashed violently with futuristic technology, producing a deafening noise. In the end, the seemingly invincible sacred flame, under the constant correction and offsetting of data, helplessly dissipated into the air.

"There are actually life-saving face cards like this...?"

Seeing his attack thwarted, Andre Anfo was not discouraged; instead, the cold glint in his eyes intensified. He turned to look at the stone tablet in the arena that was still spewing forth a spiritual spring:

"Since the attack has been thwarted, let's replenish our ammunition and prepare for the next round of bombing."

"Once the chain is closed, open another chain!"

"I activate the effect of the Field Spell Card—[Divine Stele Fountain]!"

"Once per turn, if you activate a 'Divine Monument' Quick-Play Spell Card, you can target up to 3 'Divine Monument' Quick-Play Spell Cards in your Graveyard."

"Let the spring water wash away those used spells, and give them new life!"

"Return those cards to the bottom of the deck in your preferred order. After that—draw the number of cards you want to return from the deck!"

Andre Anfo reached into the void vortex of the graveyard, and three cards emitting a faint glow appeared:

"I'm returning the three cards from my graveyard—[Spirit of the Divine Stele], [Spirit of the Divine Stele of Radiant Flame], and [Spirit of the Divine Stele of Wrathful Storm]—to the bottom of my deck!"

"The divine spring surges forth, and magical power flows back!"

"Then—draw three cards from the deck!!"

Seeing her opponent's hand instantly transform from empty to full, Kiskill couldn't help but gasp in amazement:

"Tsk! What a disgusting perpetual motion machine!"

But she quickly adjusted her mindset, because she had created an opening on the field to protect the griffin.

"Now that you've replenished your resources, I'm going to get my other half back!"

Kiskiller points to herself, the only one remaining on the field—[Evil★Twin Kiskiller]:

"Activate the effect of [Evil Twins Kissgeller] on the field!"

"During your Main Phase or your opponent's Phase, this effect can only be activated if you control no "Rila" monsters."

Special Summon 1 "Lira" monster from your Graveyard!

"No matter how many times we fall, we will get back up—that's the bond between Geminis!"

"Come back! [Evil★Twin Lila]!"

"Om-"

The red data stream surged again, as if weaving flesh.

"Lira, who had just disappeared to shield someone from a knife, reformed in a burst of crimson light, still with that cold and agile posture, and landed steadily beside Kissgeller."

【Evil★Twin Lila】

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

Watching this scene, Andre Anfo held the three newly drawn cards, his brows furrowing slightly beneath his mask.

These twins are like ghosts you can't shake off; as long as one of them is present, the other can be resurrected indefinitely.

Combined with the griffin's sealing effect, it was practically an impenetrable fortress.

But looking at the new cards in his hand, his eyes hardened again.

"So what if it's an impregnable fortress?"

"Before the erosion of time and the curse of the divine monument, all things will eventually decay!"

As soon as Andre Anfo's eyes lit up with a glint of light after acquiring the three cards, Kisskill's cold pronouncement was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

"Don't think you can rest easy just because you've replenished your hand. The hunt has only just begun!"

Kisskill suddenly pointed to her partner in blue on the field:

"At this point, deal with the chain reaction!"

"The Special Summoning Effect of 【Evil★Twin Lila】 has activated!"

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

"Target Confirm!"

"Since that fountain is the source of your power, then smash it to pieces!"

"I activate this effect by targeting your Field Spell Card—[Divine Stele Fountain]!"

"Disappear!!"

On the field, [Evil★Twin Lila] was surrounded by a dazzling blue light, with a faint pink hue belonging to Kissgeller interwoven within the light, symbolizing the blessing of the twin bond.

The data blade in her hand instantly extended, transforming into a blue lightning bolt that shot straight towards the stone fountain exuding a sacred aura!

"Don't even think about succeeding!!"

Andre Anfo's expression under his mask changed drastically. That spring was the heart of his deck's operation, and he absolutely could not afford to lose it!

Almost instinctively, he pulled out a card from the deck he had just drawn and slammed it into the duel disk:

"Chain the effects of your [Evil Twin Lila]!"

"I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand—[Ice Curse Monument]!"

"At the cost of skipping the next phase of the battle, unleash a curse of extreme cold!"

"I choose its first effect!"

"You can activate this effect by targeting 1 Effect Monster your opponent controls."

"That monster's effect is negated until the end of the turn."

"After that, banish 3 cards from the top of your opponent's deck."

"Freeze! Negate the effect of [Evil Twin Lila] on your field!!"

"Click, click..."

A terrifying chill instantly spread from Andre Anfo's feet.

Countless sharp ice crystals, like wildly growing thorns, carrying ancient curse runes, rapidly crawled along the ground towards [Evil★Twin Lila], attempting to freeze this blue executioner in an eternal ice coffin.

Despite the oncoming cold wave, Kisskill showed no fear on her face, but instead revealed a mocking smile that seemed to say, "I've seen through everything."

"Oh dear, how impatient you are. But unfortunately, your struggle ends here!"

She turned gracefully and snapped her fingers at the gothic girl floating in the darkness:

"Then, I'll activate the effects of [Shadowless A-Bao-A-Ku] in a chain!"

"During your or your opponent's Main Phase, you can discard 1 card from your hand and choose 1 of 2 Destruction options to activate this effect!"

"I choose to destroy one card on the field!!"

Kiskill draws a card from her hand; it is a tribute filled with sweet aroma:

"Cost paid!"

"I threw the [Live Stream ☆ Twin Lila - Candy] into the graveyard!"

"Get to work, A. Bao. A. Ku! Tear down that eyesore of a bathhouse!"

"Target Redirection - Destroy your [Divine Fountain] on the field!!"

"Buzz—!!!"

Just as the ice crystal was about to touch Lila's ankle, the [Shadow of No Light A-Bao-A-Ku], which had been silently floating, suddenly opened its scarlet eyes.

The void behind her instantly twisted, and a giant scythe of death, formed from pure darkness and despair, suddenly opened.

The scythe was so enormous that it seemed capable of reaping the light of the entire world.

"cut."

With a barely audible groan, the giant scythe swung down.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a crisp sound like cloth being torn apart.

"Pfft—!"

When the sickle arrives, the spring is divided!

The indestructible, magically powerful Divine Stele Spring was neatly sliced ​​in two like tofu under this attack.

The gushing spring dried up instantly, and the rune-covered stones crumbled into dust that dissipated in the wind.
