The card player needs to win easily

"And, through its effect, add "Sword Cathode Thunder Fire Boiling Engine" to your hand!"

(There's also "Thunderfire Boiling Hole Thruster" in the Graveyard... and a chance to Xyz Summon it during her turn!)

(There’s still a chance—)

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm sorry."

Liva raised her hand and activated the effect of "Queen Maris's Heart Encryption".

"Activate the effect of Queen Maris's Heart Encryption!"

"Target my banished "Malice's Pawn Dormouse" and return it to the Deck!"

"After that, choose one card on the field except!"

"I choose - "Internal Combustion Thunder Fire Boiling Engine"!"

A red heart made of data flickered on the scepter of "Queen Maris's Encrypted Hearts".

The rioting black and white diamonds surrounded the "Internal Combustion Thunder and Fire Boiling Engine", tearing it apart and exiling it.

"..."

Paradox looked at the only usable card in his hand.

"...I face down a card, and that's the end of the turn."

"My turn!"

Pull out the card.

Liva immediately took out the card.

"I Normal Summon Maris's Pawn Dormouse!"

"Then, activate the effect of 'Maris Queen Heart Encryption'—return the banished 'Maris Pawn White Rabbit' to the deck, and banish a card from the field!"

"Activate the effect of the Trap Card, 'Infinite Bubbles'!"

"The effect of your [Queen Maris's Heart Encryption] is negated until the end of the turn!"

Paradox hesitated, but still started the backcourt.

As long as you keep "Thunderfire Hybrid" and "Summon Limiter" on the field, you have a chance to use "Thunderfire Hole Thruster" in the Graveyard to perform an Xyz Summon during the opponent's turn - and then bring "Typhon, Star of Disaster" to the field.

This way, at least I can use its effects to get through this round——

"Tsk tsk tsk, information gap."

The Siren outside the realm of "Sin" spread her hands.

"It's true."

Liva also spread her hands.

It was really a good thing for her to encounter Paradox's "Thunderfire Boiling Stone".

As someone who had never played against "Malise" before, Paradox had done a good job - unfortunately, the information gap made him make the wrong decision again.

"What's wrong……"

Even at the moment of activating "Infinite Bubbles", Paradox felt a bad premonition for a moment.

But, he had no idea what that was.

"I used the effect of Infinite Bubbles."

"Then, the effects processing."

Faced with the overwhelming lightning, Queen Maris's Heart Encryption simply waved her scepter and cleared the surrounding energy.

"According to the effect text of "Queen Maris's Heart Encryption", as long as there is a monster at the end of this card's connection, the activation and effect resolution of its ① effect will not be negated!"

"This effect!?"

"Next, through the effect of 'Queen Maris's Heart Encryption', banish the 'Summon Limiter' on your field!"

After blocking both teams for two rounds, the "Summon Limiter" finally completed its glorious mission and was (forced) to retire.

"Next, activate the effect of "Malice's Pawn Dormouse" and banish a "Malice" monster from my deck! At the end of this turn, increase the ATK of "Malice" monsters on my field by 600 points!"

"Pay 300 Life Points, activate the effect of the banished "Maris Pawn White Rabbit", and Special Summon this card!"

Liva LP: 6900-6600

"I activate the effect of 'Maris' Pawn White Rabbit'. I select a 'Maris' Trap Card from my Deck that is not in my Graveyard, and I place that card face down on my field!"

"[Maris Code TB-11]!"

Next, it is Liva's turn to act alone.

That is to say - this duel, the final round.

"By banishing Maris's Pawn Dormouse, I activate the effect of Maris's Code TB-11 and Special Summon Maris's Pawn Cheshire Cat from my Deck!"

"Pay 300 Life Points and activate the effect of the banished "Maris's Pawn Dormouse"! Special Summon this card!"

Liva LP: 6600-6300

"Next, I'm going to Link Summon [Maris Pawn Dormouse], [Maris Pawn White Rabbit], and [Maris Pawn Cheshire Cat] to [Maris Queen Red Blackmail]!"

"Chain 300, using the effect of [Maris Pawn Cheshire Cat], pay Life Points to Special Summon this card!"

Liva LP: 6300-6000

"Chain two, activate the effect of 'Malice Queen Red Blackmail'! Select a 'Malice' Spell Card from my deck and add it to your hand!"

"Site magic, 'Maris's Sleepwalking Underworld'!"

Liva raised her hand and declared the connection summon once again.

"I set "Maris Queen Red Blackmail" and "Maris Pawn Cheshire Cat" to the connection mark!"

"Link Summon, "S:P Sayo"!"

The ninja girl entered the arena—only this time, Riva wouldn't choose to activate her effect.

"Since [Maris Queen Red Blackmail] is banished, I pay 900 Life Points and activate its effect!"

Liva LP: 6000-5100

"Special Summon this card, then I can select a Cyberse monster from my deck and banish it!"

"I choose 'Dot-Shaped Jumper'! And, since this card is banished, it can be Special Summoned!"

"Using 'Dot Matrix Jumper' to link-summon 'Chain Goblin'... well, it seems like it's useless now."

The connecting arrow shot into the air again.

"Next—I'll Link Summon [S:P Sayo] and [Maris Queen Red Chess Blackmail]!"

""Maris Queen White Chess Bind"!"

"Activate the effect of 'Maris Queen White Bind'—select a total of three cards in both players' graveyards and banish them!"

"I choose the 'Sword-type Cathode Thunderfire Boiling Engine', the 'Thunderfire Boiling Dead-spin Detonation Engine', and the 'Internal Combustion Thunderfire Boiling Engine'!"

[Queen Maris White Bind] swung the dagger in his hand lightly, and several cards in the graveyard were exiled along with the blue data stream.

"Then, activate the second effect of [Queen Maris's White Flag Binding]!"

"Only during your Main Phase can I activate this effect. Ambush the "Maris" Trap Card from your Deck!"

"[Maris Code GWC-06]!"

Placing the third "Maris" trap on the field, Liva activated the effect of this card without hesitation.

"By banishing 'Maris Queen White Bind', I activate the effect of 'Maris Code GWC-06'!"

"Target the banished "Queen Maris Red Chess Blackmail" and Special Summon that card!"

"Also, since there's a "Maris" Link Monster on the field, I can restore its original attack power value to 2300 basic points!"

Liva LP: 5100-7400

"Pay 900 Life Points to activate the effect of [Maris Queen White Bind]!"

"Special Summon this card, and then I can draw a card from my deck!"

Draw the card from the deck - but it is no longer useful.

"Activate 'Maris' Sleepwalking Underworld', and as a reaction to its effect, banish a 'Maris' card from your deck—"

“I choose the MTP-07 code.”

Place the last trap in the exclusion zone.

Liva looked at her scene and declared the end of the main stage.

"I declare an attack using 'Maris Queen Red Blackmail'!"

Seeing that Liva had already filled the field with monsters, Paradox had to activate the effect.

(As I recall, the effect of "Maris's Pawn Dormouse" increases the attack power of all "Maris" monsters during the entire turn by 600 points.)

(And the original attack power of "Malice Queen Red Blackmail" is 2300 - which means that "Ty-Fon, Star of Disaster" can just stop it.)

"... Banish "Thunderfire Boiling Hole Thruster" from your Graveyard and activate this card's effect!"

"I Xyz Summon monsters on my side of the field, including a "Thunderfire" monster!"

"Since you've already Special Summoned this monster from the Extra Deck twice, I can Xyz Summon it from the Extra Deck using the materials of the "Thunderfire Boiling Hydraulic Dual Engine" with the highest ATK on the field—"

"Ti Fon, the Star of Disaster!"

Purple-black demon armor descended into Paradox's territory.

Facing the unabated Red Chess Floater, "Star of Disaster Ti Feng" took a corresponding defensive stance.

(Wait, it's still coming?)

Paradox quickly turned his attention to the "Queen Maris Red Blackmail".

Queen Maris's Red Flag Blackmail

Attack: 5300

"Five thousand three hundred attack points!?"

"Ah."

Liva nodded.

"Since "Maris's Sleepwalker" is a card effect that is dealt with when activated, I banished "Maris's Code MTP-07" from the deck."

"This way, I've collected three different types of "Maris" Trap Cards: "Maris Code GWC-06," "Maris Code TB-11," and "Maris Code MTP-07" while in the Banished state."

"Therefore, by the effect of the Field Spell, 'Maris' Sleepwalker,' all 'Maris' Link Monsters on my field gain 3000 ATK!"

"I really triggered you..."

Siren smiled and shook her head.

She had hardly ever seen this effect in a few duels.

"Break through 'Star of Disaster Ti Fon', 'Queen Maris Red Blackmail'!"

"boom!!!"

Several laser beams tore the demon mecha into pieces, and smoke and dust drifted throughout the entire "sin" area.

"Next, it's 'Maris White Chess Binding'! Declaration of attack on 'External Combustion Thunder and Fire Boiling Engine'!"

"Shh-"

White hair fluttered, and two daggers danced gracefully, completely splitting the mechanical structure.

"at last--"

The Queen of Hearts raised her scepter.
