Yu-Gi-Oh!: Madoka, start!

"My turn, draw a card!" Bauman immediately started his turn.

"In the main phase, I activate the effect of Paradox Drive Serpent Sky God."

"God! Roll the dice of your judgment!"

"Here it comes..." Blue Maiden looked solemnly at the spinning golden dice, praying in her heart that the dice would only roll one point.

As the dice slowly stopped, the result of four points facing up appeared again.

"How could it be!" Blue Maiden looked at the dice suspiciously, doubting the result that was most favorable to Bauman.

At this point, Blue Maiden could no longer fail to see that the dice had been tampered with.

"Great!" Bauman pumped his fist excitedly, his face showing uncontrollable excitement.

"According to the effect of Paradox Driven Great Snake, I can Special Summon a Link4 Driven Great Snake monster from the Extra Deck to the Link Zone of Paradox Driven Great Snake."

"I Special Summon Link4's Awakening Driven Great Snake Emperor."

Awakening Drive Great Snake Emperor Attack 3000 Connection Mark: ←↑↓→

"As long as Awakening Drive Great Snake Emperor exists in the Monster Zone, the attributes of this card are treated as Water, Fire, and Wind. Both players cannot Summon or Special Summon monsters with the same attributes as this card unless they are in Attack Position. The attack power of other monsters with the same attributes as this card on the field becomes 0, and the effect is negated."

"You can only activate this card if you successfully Special Summon it from the Extra Deck. Put four Driven Snake Counters on this card."

Awakening Drive Great Snake Emperor (4) Attack 0

"Bowman was unaware of the situation. There was nothing false about his surprise and excitement just now." Aqua stated her conclusion.

Blue Maiden was well aware of Aqua's ability to discern lies. After hearing what Aqua said, Blue Maiden naturally placed her suspicion on Lightning.

"He is indeed a despicable villain." Blue Maiden cursed softly.

......

"Damn it!" Ai punched the lightsaber angrily, but the motionless lightsaber seemed to be mocking Ai's helplessness at the moment.

"So he really relied on cheating to win the duel? It seems that Blood Shepherd lost to Bowman using similar means to Ignis of Light." Revolver murmured.

Mathmech stood there, recalling Blue Maiden's deck, wondering if there were any cards that could deal with this situation.

"Aqua...bluemaiden..." Ai retracted his fist, his face no longer showing the usual joking expression, only worry.

"They are blessed by fate, and I believe in their ability." Playmaker said, not only to comfort Ai, but also to comfort Mathmech.

Mathmech checked the progress of the system cracking. The progress bar was more than halfway through, which made Mathmech feel relieved.

......

"Battle!" Bauman went straight into the battle phase.

"I use Awakening to drive the Great Snake Emperor to attack the Mizuhaku Argonauta."

"When calculating damage, the attack power of the awakened Serpent Emperor is doubled under the effect of the Arrow of Judgment."

Awakening Drive Great Snake Emperor Attack 3000→6000

The smoke dissipated, revealing the blue maiden half-kneeling on the ground.

blue maiden LP 4000→2000

"Fortunately, with the help of the venue, we were able to avoid having our LP directly reset to zero." Aqua said, patting her chest in fear.

Blue Maiden slowly stood up and said, "Effect of Pacifier Anemone. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, activate this by targeting a Sea Crystal Maiden card in the Graveyard. Return that card to your hand."

"I add Sea Crystal Maiden's Encounter to my hand."

"I put down a card and the turn ends." Bauman was unmoved and ended his turn calmly.

"It's my turn, draw a card!" Blue Maiden started her turn.

"I activate Sea Crystal Maiden's Lurking Encounter from my hand and Special Summon Sea Crystal Maiden Blue Upside Down from my Deck."

Sea Crystal Girl Blue Hanging Attack 1500→0

"I use the Blue Hanging to set the connection mark and connect to summon the Sea Crystal Girl and the Sea Angel."

Sea Crystal Maiden Sea Angel Attack 1000→0

"Blue Hanger's effect. This card can only be activated when it is sent to the Graveyard as a Link Material for a Prisma Maiden Link Monster. Turn over the top three cards of your deck, and choose one of the Prisma Maiden cards and add it to your hand."

"Chain activate the effect of Sea Crystal Girl's Battle Sea. Select a Sea Crystal Girl from the Graveyard and link a monster to it and equip it to Sea Angel."

"Chain reverse processing."

"The effect of the Sea Crystal Girl's Dou Hai, I will equip the Pacifier Anemone to the Sea Angel."

"Then the effect of Blue Upside Down comes on, and I add the flipped Sea Crystal Maiden Waterfall to my hand."

"Is there any point in still resisting?" Bowman crossed his arms and said, "Even if you increase your attack power through the field, as long as you don't have the Crystal Heart as a connecting material, your attack power will eventually be reduced to 0 due to the effect of awakening the Great Snake Emperor."

(Here is why it is still 0 attack. Because the effect of Awakening Drive Great Snake Emperor is a permanent effect that changes the attack power of monsters with the same attributes to "0". Therefore, no matter how much the field's attack power is increased, it will eventually become 0 again due to this effect.)

"I don't know what it means to fight to the death. I will only keep fighting until my LP reaches 0. Now that I have become a duelist, I will believe in my deck and keep fighting no matter what opponent I meet." Blue Maiden said with determination.

Bowman was silenced by Blue Maiden's resounding answer. Yes, he had fought against difficulties many times, just as Blue Maiden said, wasn't he?

"She has grown again." Mathmech said with satisfaction as he looked at the girl's unyielding figure.

"I summon the Purple Basseye from my hand."

Sea Crystal Girl Purple Anthias Attack 1200→0

"Shine! The circuit of love and bond!"

"I set a connection mark between the sea angel and the purple anthias."

"Link Summon, link2 Sea Crystal Girl, Pacifier Anemone."

Sea Crystal Girl Pacifier Anemone Attack 2000→0

"Activate the effect of another Sea Anemone that was sent to the graveyard as a Sea Angel Equipment Card. Add Sea Crystal Maiden's Encounter from the graveyard to your hand."

"Chain activates the field effect, equipping the Anemone in the graveyard to the Anemone on the field."

"I set two cards and the round ends."
