The card player needs to win easily

Finally, he stood condescendingly in front of the unconscious Galatea and closed her eyes with two fingers.

"...Of course, it will be fine."

"But, it's about me."

--------------------------------

"The program is completely shut down."

Looking at the "99.99% Stopped" displayed on the screen, Siren nodded with satisfaction.

"Why do we have to get stuck at this point..."

Liva was a little speechless.

She watched Siren count to two decimal places, and her heart almost jumped out - fortunately, she stopped in time.

"99.99%—that's what it says. If I can't get it to two decimal places, isn't that going to drive me, with my obsessive-compulsive disorder, to death?"

“…Don’t scare me.”

Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Liva stood up.

Now that the Orcust Babel has come to a halt—that means everything is over.

"Wait, it's not over yet."

The Siren also stood up and shook her finger.

"This tower absorbs too much energy. If it's not released, sooner or later the urbanization rate and vegetation coverage of this area will both drop to 0% - you definitely don't want that to happen, so we have to go down there and deal with it."

“…Am I going too?”

Before Liva could reply, the Siren had already opened a crack and ran away.

This is running a bit too fast.

"call……"

After opening the large glass window that led to the outside world—no, the door leading from a high-rise building to the outside of the building shouldn't be a door no matter how you think about it—Liva put on her hood and mask again and stuck her head out.

The wind hit her face, causing ripples on the surface of the hood.

Sure enough, the chaos below was gradually subsiding—she even saw Oram and Imduk lying exhausted on the ground.

"...Then, it should be over."

Liva was thinking about what to say to Oram next when she suddenly noticed something she had just forgotten.

"...Wait, where's Ningirsu?"

Just as she realized the problem, Liva saw Oram on the ground in the distance suddenly struggle to get up, reaching out his hand and shouting something in her direction.

At this distance, no sound could be heard at all - but Liva also knew what Oram wanted to convey through her intuitive alarm.

"...!"

Liva instantly leaned back—a flash of purple light split the air, tearing off the top corner of her hood.

“…You bastard!!!”

Ningirsu rushed up from the bottom of the tower with a voice full of anger.

"How dare you, how dare you...!!!"

"……Well!"

Liva rolled over a little awkwardly and avoided Ningirsu's heavy shot.

(…I almost got stabbed!?)

Looking at the completely torn cloth on her right arm with some fear, Liva took a shaky breath - before she could fully exhale, another gunshot rushed towards her... this time towards the head.

“I’m going to kill you…!!!”

Several fragments flew out and splashed on the ground.

Ningirsu's shot pierced Liva, who had barely dodged it, leaving a deep crack on the mask.

——Liva quickly pressed down the thing that was about to break into two pieces.

"Stop hitting me! Stop, stop, stop—"

"Shut up!!!"

Even though the voice of the flustered girl in front of him seemed very familiar in his memory, Ningirsu, burning with anger, threw the spear in his hand with force, and the afterimage turned into a purple beam of light.

"boom!!!"

"...!!!"

Liva collapsed on the ground with a look of horror on her face.

The entire wall of the operating room was melted open, revealing a huge, burning hole.

(Luckily I dodged quickly...!)

"...?"

The Siren, who had just emerged from the crack, looked up and saw a purple beam of light coming out of the control room.

"Wait, isn't she coming...!"

She couldn't help but stop what she was doing... Then, without hesitation, she opened the space rift again.

"Cough...cough cough cough!"

Oram stumbled and nearly fell—but Imduk nudged him with his wing, regaining his footing.

"Ningirsu, you can't—"

(Run! Gotta run!)

Who knew how this blood-soaked Ningirsu could unleash all his strength to chase him down?!

Liva jumped over a lump of iron that looked relatively hard, and tried to draw his sword to stop Ningirsu - then, the lump of iron was shattered like a piece of paper.

(This person is simply not a human!?)

No, it all depends on Liva's ingenuity. She probably can't think of how to stop the man in front of her with red eyes and blood-stained hair.

I should have been mentally prepared earlier - I should have run away with Siren as soon as possible!

Liva flipped out a few cards and jumped to the side—and the spot where she was was immediately pierced by a spear.

(Using the "Alternate Dimensional Teleportation Device"... the pre-roll is a bit too long!)

(No… I can jump out from there and unfold in the air—)

Liva immediately decided on an escape route, covered her mask, dodged another shot, and quickly retreated towards the molten cave.

Ningirsu immediately discovered this intention - so he raised his spear and pointed it at Liva.

"Don't even think about running away...!!!"

Liva turned her back to the ground and jumped up, holding the glowing card.

She looked at the sun directly above her head and felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

(Throwing a spear... If it is at this angle, just immediately

If we enter another dimension, we can completely avoid it——)

(Then, I should immediately go find Siren and Oram, and together we can suppress the rampaging Ningirsu. This should be resolved...!?)

"Pfft."

The feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared.

The glowing card seemed to have suddenly lost its energy source, flickering and slipping from the fingertips, shattering into points of light.

"...?"

Liva wanted to say something - but the air flow was blocked before it reached her mouth and could not come out.

…She tried to breathe out forcefully.

“Puh, cough, cough, cough!?”

Blood-colored droplets spewed out of his mouth and scattered in the air.

Liva suddenly realized why the feeling of weightlessness suddenly disappeared.

A curved blade with blue lines pierced through his chest and appeared before his eyes, covered in blood and silver.

With difficulty, she turned her head and looked down at herself—the purple-haired mechanical doll, with a bloody smile that was completely impossible to appear on her face, stabbed itself with a sickle.

Purple hair fell down as the hood slipped off.

Liva turned her head back toward the interior of the tower and struggled to move her body—even though her hands covering her mask dropped.

but……

"……boom!!!"

The purple javelin pierced through Liva's body like a beam of light, scattering purple hair and blood in the air.

Her delicate face, exposed in the air, was frozen in confusion.

"Shh-"

The sickle is drawn.

Having lost her support, Liva fell straight down from a high altitude, and fell towards the ground with her purple hair mixed with blood foam.

...Then, with a cloud of dust, it disappeared into the earth and rocks.

PS: I finally used this card name.
