"Use the effect of 'Exogenous Thunderfire Boiling Engine' to add another 'Sword Cathode Thunderfire Boiling Engine' from your deck to your hand!"

"Use the Sword-Type Cathode Thunderfire Boiling Engine and the External Combustion Thunderfire Boiling Engine on the field to stack them!"

"Extreme Summon, 'Thunderfire Boiling Hybrid Engine'!"

Another mecha glowing golden light jumped out of the air and landed on the field with blue flames.

"Activate the effect of 'Thunderfire Boiling Hydraulic Dual Engine'—take 'Thunderfire Boiling Death Spin Detonator' from my graveyard as an Oxygen Material and stack it underneath it!"

"Next, activate this card's other effect! Remove two Xyz Materials from my field and add two "Thunderfire" cards from my deck to my hand!"

"[Thunderfire Boiling Engine Plug In]! [Thunderfire Boiling Hall Hole Thruster]!"

After checking a Spell and a Trap Card from his Deck, Paradox declared the start of the Battle Phase.

"It's the battle phase! Use the 'Thunderfire Boiling Hydraulic Dual Engine' to attack the 'Abyss Beast Druid Scale Insect'!"

"Because of its effect, the Attack of all monsters on your field is reduced by one hundred times the amount of this card's Xyz Material, and all monsters on my field are increased by that amount!"

"Well……"

Liva LP: 7400-7200

"Furthermore, after the battle, due to the effect of the Thunderfire Interchange Machine, the last ect material of the Thunderfire Hybrid Engine will be removed, thus negating the effect of your Abyssal Beast Druid Scale!"

"Two cards are hidden, and my turn ends just like that!"

"My turn—!"

It's Liva's turn.

The moment he finished drawing a card normally, Paradox immediately activated the quick-play spell he had just retrieved.

"At the start of your turn, the effect of 'Thunderfire Boiler Plug-in' activates!"

"Target 'Thunderfire Boiling Death Spin Blast Machine' and Special Summon that card!"

"Also, select a "Thunder and Fire" card from your deck as its Xyz material!"

It has ended.

Anyone can see that as long as the terrifying two-material Gyro monster "Thunderfire Boiling Death Spin Detonator" stands on the field again, Liva, who is blocked by the "Summon Limiter", will never be able to break through this situation.

"Is there no hope..."

Bruno quietly activated the emergency release device.

He had no chance against Paradox, who possessed such power.

The only way is to move the others away and abandon this world at the moment before the duel ends.

(Paradox's attempt to seize the power of this world might completely tear apart the future Fudo Yusei has achieved...)

Bruno must return to repair and stop Paradox's plan -

"She hasn't lost yet, why is she looking so pessimistic?"

Siren smiled and looked at Liva, who was holding the card in her hand with her hair hanging down.

"Perhaps once 'Thunderfire Boiling Death Spin Detonator' appears, everything will be irreversible—but, that's only if it appears."

"Maybe I'll get it this time—"

"—Then, chain your effect."

A smile appeared under the shadow of Liva's face.

"While there is a card on your field, this Normal Trap Card can be activated."

"In this duel after activation, I cannot activate the effects of Light, Earth, and Wind monsters!"

A red card was slapped out of her hand——

"Normal trap, the effect of 'Soul King's Wave' is activated!"

"When you activate an effect that includes Special Summoning a monster, this effect is negated!"

PS: The soldiers seem to be blocked...

PS2: I found the reason, special characters will be blocked.

Hyper-Convergence: Chapter 144: Maris's Sleepwalking Underworld

"So, is it time to return the time to me, Mr. Paradox?"

Now, for Liva, the only obstacle to Paradox is the "Thunderfire Boiling Hall Hole Thruster" covering the backcourt.

"..."

Paradox thought carefully.

Liva no longer has any hand cards.

On her field, there was only a "Malice Pawn Cheshire Cat" and a backfield card of unknown origin.

Paradox's own instincts dictated that he must not proceed to the main stage now.

Looking at Liva, he always had a premonition that "once entering the main stage, his trap will never be opened again."

His goal was to block Riva's actions this turn - that is, Paradox had to choose one of the two cards on Riva's field now and destroy it with the effect of "Thunderfire Boiling Hole Thruster".

"The effect of the Thunderfire Boiling Hole Thruster is activated!"

Paradox made a good decision and opened up the backfield.

"Target "Malice's Pawn Cheshire Cat" on your field and destroy that card!"

"After that, select a "Thunderfire" card from your Graveyard and use it as material for a Level 4 Xyz monster on my field!"

"Huh, huh, you still have a flaw."

Liva laughed and pointed to her backcourt.

A perfect opportunity was handed to her by the errant Paradox himself.

"If you launch the Thunderfire Boiling Hole Thruster at my backfield, I'll probably be in trouble for a long time—"

"Targeting the "Malice Pawn Cheshire Cat" on my field, I cast the quick-attack spell "Computer Network Backdoor"!"

"Ban that card until the next Standby Phase. I add a Cyberse-Type monster from my deck with an attack power lower than that monster's original power to my hand!"

"What……!"

Paradox, who had always relied on intuition to fight against "Mallis", revealed a flaw this time - giving Liva the opportunity to break through the blockade.

"Then, my effect will be processed! You will be excluded from the "Malice Soldier Cheshire Cat" that is targeted!"

"This way, the subsequent effects of the 'Thunderfire Boiling Hall Hole Thruster' won't be dealt with!"

As the red and black electronic channel wrapped around "Malice Pawn Cheshire Cat", a "Malice Pawn White Rabbit" flew out of the deck and landed in Liva's hands.

"I activate the effect of Maris's Pawn Cheshire Cat!"

"When this card is banished, pay 300 Life Points to activate this card and Special Summon it!"

Liva LP: 7200-6900

"And—I activate the other effect of [Maris's Pawn Cheshire Cat]!"

"I banish a "Maris" card from my hand, then I can draw two cards!"

Once it's the next turn, Paradox will definitely Special Summon "Sword Cathode Thunderfire Boiling Engine" to retrieve "Internal Combustion Thunderfire Boiling Engine".

Then, she sends the "Summon Limiter" on the field to the Graveyard as a price to proceed to the next step of the stacking process—that is, Liva must do something this turn to stop Paradox.

"Come on! Trust your right hand!"

The Siren yelled.

(Will a miracle...happen?)

Bruno couldn't help but look at Liva's right hand on top of the deck.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but in the realm of "sin" filled with nothingness, a little starlight seemed to leak out from between her fingers.

“Draw a card——!”

After pulling out the two cards, Liva's mouth corners curled up.

(Win.)

"I won't activate the banished "Maris White Rabbit"'s effect!"

"But, I draw a card from my hand—and, by banishing "Maris Cheshire Cat," I immediately activate this Trap Card, "Maris Code TB-11!"

"I Special Summon a "Maris" monster from my Deck—and if you have three or more cards on the field, I can Special Summon a "Maris" Link Monster from my Extra Deck instead!"

"Queen Maris's Heart Encryption!"

The Queen of Hearts of the electronic world, wearing a crown and scepter, emerged from the fluctuations of data.

"Monsters Special Summoned by this effect cannot attack or activate their effects during this turn only."

"And I—just like that, I set a card and ended the turn!"

"You didn't even attack? Then don't blame me for completely defeating you in this round—"

Originally, looking at Liva's smile, Paradox thought that something explosive would happen in this round.

But... she didn't do anything, not even the slightest reduction in basic points.

"This proves that you're done—my turn!"

Draw a card from the deck.

Paradox took a quick glance—and it happened to be the "Segmental Anode Thunderfire Boiler Engine" that could also send the "Summon Limiter" to the graveyard.

"So, I'll get to the main stage—"

"Hehe, don't be so anxious."

Liva laughed again.

This time, it was a smile of true confidence.

"Don't think you're the only one wearing stickers—"

"I activate the Continuous Trap Card, Macrocosm!"

"As long as this card is on the field, all cards sent to the Graveyard will be banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard!"

"What……!?"

According to the effect of "Macro Cosmos", all cards sent to the Graveyard are banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard.

The special summoning condition of "Internal Combustion Thunderfire Boiling Engine" and the activation condition of the effect of "Segmental Anode Thunderfire Boiling Engine" are... Send a card in your hand or on the field to the Graveyard.

Paradox cannot meet this condition - accordingly, it cannot pay the price and cannot perform the operation.

That is to say...

"Let "Summon Limiter" be the final card that crushes you."

In any case, due to the interference of "Macro Cosmo", Paradox cannot Special Summon a large number of monsters within two actions.

"...activating the effect of 'Thunderfire Interchange Machine' allows me to return the two 'Thunderfire' cards from the Graveyard to the bottom of my deck and draw a card!"

Liva shrugged.

Regarding the Thunder and Fire deck, she doesn’t think Harpy’s Feather Broom will appear in it—the same goes for Great Tempest and S:P Sayo.

Paradox was able to break through the combined blockade of the "Macrocosm" and the "Summoning Limiter"... In Liva's opinion, it was already impossible.

"..."

Moreover, looking at Paradox's expression, Liva didn't think he had drawn anything.

("Proliferating G"...)

Clearly excellent hand cards - under Liva's "big universe", they all became waste paper.

"...I Normal Summon 'Internal Combustion Thunder and Fire Boiling Engine'!"

"And, activating this card's effect allows me to Special Summon a 'Thunderfire' monster from my deck!"

"External combustion thunder and fire boiling engine!"
