Yu-Gi-Oh!: Madoka, start!

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

"I summon a Destruction Driven Serpent from my hand."

Destruction Driven Orochi Attack 0

Come on! The circuit to the ultimate truth!

"I will set the connection mark for the Destruction Driven Serpent."

"Link Summon Fluid Wind Driven Serpent."

"Since the effect of awakening the Great Snake Emperor is two-way, the attack power of the Fluid Wind Drive Great Snake will become 0."

Fluid Wind Drive Orochi Attack 1000→0 Connection Mark:↓

"Destroy Driven Snake. This card can only be Special Summoned in Defense Position if there is a Driven Snake in the Graveyard. This card is Special Summoned by this effect when it leaves the field."

"Come back, Destruction Drive Snake."

Destruction Driven Orochi Attack 0

"Appear, the circuit to the ultimate truth!"

"I will set the connection mark for the Destruction Driven Serpent."

"Link Summon the Burning Flame Driven Serpent."

Burning Flame Driven Orochi Attack 1000→0 Connection Mark:↓

"Appear again! The circuit to the ultimate truth!"

"I will set the connection mark between the Burning Flame Driven Serpent and the Fluid Wind Driven Serpent."

"Link Summon, link2 Dual Sword Drive Snake Knight."

Dual Swords Driven Snake Knight Attack 1800→0

......

"That guy Bowman, it's obvious that no matter how many monsters he releases, the attack power will only be 0, so why bother wasting time?" Revolver said puzzled.

"I don't know." Playmaker shook his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Perhaps he is preparing for the fear that Blue Maiden will use that tactic again. This time, even if the awakened Serpent Emperor leaves the field, Bowman will still have a dual-sword driven Serpent Knight whose attack power is doubled under the Arrow of Judgment." Ai expressed his guess.

Mathmech first looked at Ai with approval, then shook his head and retorted: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be better for the Water Wave Argonaut, which is not affected by the opponent's effect, to directly attack the Dual Sword Driven Great Snake Knight whose attack power has become 0 at this time?"

......

Just when everyone was confused about what Bauman was up to, Bauman went straight into the battle stage.

"battle!"

"I use Awakening to drive the Great Snake Emperor to attack the Pacifier Anemone!"

Just as Bowman declared an attack, he once again checked his cover card - Drive Orochi Nightmare.

This card can be activated by targeting a Driven Snake Link Monster in your Graveyard when your Driven Snake Link Monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle. Tribute a monster on your field and Special Summon the targeted monster to your field.

Although this effect will invalidate the special summoned monster's effect and destroy it after the battle, there is only one monster on the Blue Maiden field at this time. Once this face-up card is activated to release the awakening drive Great Snake Emperor, the subsequent attack will be enough to be fatal.

Therefore, whether Blue Maiden can remain unscathed under the attack of the awakened Serpent Emperor or not will not affect Bowman's subsequent offensive.

Blue Maiden said almost immediately: "The moment you declared your attack, I opened the trap card and set the Crystal Girl Waterfall."

"Bai Jing Maiden Link Monsters on your field, any number of which you want to banish until your next Standby Phase, can activate this effect by targeting a face-up monster on the field. I activate this effect by targeting Paradox Drive Serpent Skyrim on your field."

"Paradox Driven Orochi's ATK increases by 300 points by the number of Link Markers on Link Monsters banished by this card until the end of this turn."

"But because of the effect of your Awakening-driven Great Snake Emperor, the attack power of your Paradox-driven Great Snake God is still 0."

"At the same time, since the equipped monster leaves the field, the Equip Card, Anemone, is sent to the Graveyard. I activate the effect of Anemone and add Seahorse from the Graveyard to my hand."

Although Blue Maiden's operation made Bowman's cover card temporarily useless, it also resulted in Blue Maiden no longer having any protection on the field.

Bowman then waved his hand and said, "Then I will use the awakening to drive the Great Snake Emperor to attack you directly!"

"When calculating damage, the attack power of the awakened Serpent Emperor will be doubled under the effect of the Arrow of Judgment!"

Awakening Drive Great Snake Emperor Attack 3000→6000

"That's the end of it."

As the violent explosion sounded, a smile appeared on Bauman's lips.

After the smoke cleared, Bowman looked towards where the blue maiden was.

"How could this happen!" Bauman stared at the unharmed blue maiden with eyes wide open, his eyes full of confusion.

Blue Maiden smiled confidently and said, "Effect of Crowntail Betta in the Graveyard. At the beginning of the Damage Step when your opponent's monster attacks, you can activate this card by banishing it from the Graveyard. This turn, you will not receive battle damage less than the total of the Link Markers x1000 from the Sea Crystal Maiden Link Monsters in your Graveyard."

"The total number of link markers for the Sea Crystal Maiden and the monsters in my graveyard is 12. Therefore, in this damage calculation, I am immune to battle damage below points."

Bauman sighed, feeling somewhat helpless about this unexpected development.

"This is the end of my turn."

......

"The attack power of the Altergeist Hestia increases by the attack power of the Dragmaw in the connected area."

Altergeist Hestia Attack 1500→3700

Altergeist Drag the Mountain Woman Attack 2200

Lightning LP 200

G Stoneman. Invalid Dolmen Attack 3400

G Stoneman. Crystal Heart Attack 600

earth LP 4000

"Battle!" Lightning went straight into the battle stage.

"I will use the Sixteen Witches Hestia to attack the invalid dolmen."

earth LP 4000→3700

"Then I used Drag the Mountain Woman to attack the Crystal Heart."

"No! The crystal heart that Aqua gave me!" Earth shouted sadly.

However, the Drag Mountain Woman, who had already declared an attack, would not stop attacking just because of Earth's cry. As Earth's eyes turned red with anger, the Crystal Heart was destroyed.

earth LP 3700→2100

"Activate the Trap Card Altergeist, Special Summon Cyberpuppet Master in Attack Position from the Graveyard and equip this card."

Altergeist Cyberpuppet Master Attack 1600

"When a Trap Card is activated, use the effect of Multi-Fraud in your hand to Special Summon this card."

Altergeist Multipurpose Trickster Attack 1200

"I'm using the Multi-Function Swindler and Cyber ​​Puppet Master to launch a direct attack on you!"

earth LP 0

"Aqua... I'm sorry... I couldn't protect the Crystal Heart..." As Earth's LP returned to zero, Earth gradually became motionless.

Lightning quickly retracted Earth's body, and then disappeared immediately under the cover of the momentary illusion created by the golden beads.

By the time Soulburner found out, Lightning had already disappeared without a trace.
