Wait, why can't my Red-Eyes Fusion be activated?

"Isn't it normal for me to have Infinite Impermanence? I don't have a Deck, but that doesn't mean I don't have powerful single cards."

Youye countered, confused. He often encountered Infinite Impermanence in Master Duel. It was a card so many people owned, so why was it strange for him to have it?

Youye's question directly silenced Wuping. Logically, it was normal, but as far as she knew, if you weren't strong enough, or simply lacked Heaven-tier potential, the card's Spirit wouldn't even acknowledge you, completely ignoring you.

It wasn't just this card; the Effect Veiler Youye Normal Summoned earlier was also like that. Because it was a Normal Summon, she hadn't paid attention.

Now, with the shock of Infinite Impermanence, the dusty memories in her mind gradually became clear. But her recently awakened brain immediately crashed under the weight of Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence, giving up on thinking.

Sheng Ning was relatively less surprised. From how Youye had maxed out Divine Judgment and Bulb, it was clear Youye was a strong King Rank player. He could obtain Original Cards in Master Duel every year, and with a bit of luck, getting Infinite Impermanence and Effect Veiler was understandable.

Bai Yun'er watched the duel quietly, her gaze fixed on Youye, lost in thought.

Effect Resolution: C2 Infinite Impermanence's effect successfully activates, Thunder King Rai-Oh's effect is negated until the end of the turn;

C1 Thunder King Rai-Oh's activated effect is negated;

"The effect of the Quick-Play Spell in my hand, [Runick Dispelling]! This time I choose to Special Summon a monster from the Extra Deck. I'm summoning [Wings of Runick - Munin]!"

"Munin's effect when Special Summoned from the Extra Deck! I discard one card and add one Runick Continuous Spell from my Deck to my hand. I discard [Infinite Impermanence] from my hand and add the Continuous Spell [Runick Allure] to my hand!"

"The effect of the Field Spell [Runick Fountain]! I return Runick Dispelling and Runick Flashing Fire from my Graveyard to my Deck and draw two!"

"Your turn!"

After doing all this, his words made Wuping, who was listening to his explanation, lose her composure a bit. She remembered now; it was her Main Phase 2. Youye was making moves during her Main Phase 2, but the most difficult part was that she was supposed to make a move, yet it seemed she couldn't do anything except end her turn.

Announcing the end of her turn was also considered a move? For a moment, she really wanted to ask, Can I not make a move?

"I choose to end my turn." After staring at her hand for dozens of seconds, confirming there wasn't a single card she could play, Wuping chose to end her turn.

"During the End Phase of both players' turns, Munin's third effect activates! I recover 1000 LP!" (Youye's LP: 6600 → 7600)

As soon as Wuping finished speaking, Youye spoke. However, his words made the smile on Wuping's face even more bitter. She had finally seized an opportunity to lower Youye's LP a bit, but now it immediately recovered to 7600. By the time his turn ended, it would directly exceed 8000.

How was she supposed to win? For a moment, she started to feel a hint of regret. If she hadn't activated Red-Eyes Fusion and had just been defeated by Youye in three punches, perhaps it wouldn't feel this bad?

"My turn, draw!" Seeing the card he drew, Youye had a hint of helplessness on his face. He really didn't want to do this, but the cards he drew were too geared towards Unfair Play. Then he looked at Wuping, indicating whether she had any objections to him going straight to Main Phase 1.

Wuping shook her head, indicating she had none.

During Main Phase 1, Youye began milling her Deck.

"First, I'll use Baronne's effect to destroy Thunder King Rai-Oh on your field. Then I'll activate [Runick Golden Droplet] to make you draw one and Banish four cards, including one Continuous Spell. After that, [Runick Dispelling]'s effect will make you discard one and Banish two, including one Continuous Spell. Then, [Runick Slumber] will target Baronne, making you Banish three more, including one Continuous Spell. Finally, Runick Fountain will return three and draw three."

As Youye performed his actions, Wuping's Deck, which originally had less than twenty cards, was suddenly reduced to only five.

Seeing only five cards left, Sheng Ning, who was watching the duel, couldn't bear it anymore. Others might not know, but she had dueled against Munin before and understood how tormenting this time was.

The reason was the insufficient number of cards. Many of the Runick Quick-Play Spell cards couldn't use their Banish effects. Didn't that sound like a good thing? All of the Runick side's disruption was gone! Perhaps this could sound the charge for a counterattack and defeat the Runick duelist?

But in reality, if the cards in your Graveyard don't have Graveyard effects, and your hand is full of useless pieces you can't activate, you're just waiting to die in place with no hope in sight.

So she turned to Bai Yun'er beside her and advised her.

"Sister Bai, tell your servant to surrender. The rest of this duel will shatter her dueling spirit."

Hearing this, Bai Yun'er looked puzzled. It was just losing a duel; how could that shatter her dueling spirit?

She didn't understand, but she knew Sheng Ning wouldn't say something like that without reason, so she considered whether to agree or not. When she looked at Wuping, Wuping shook her head slightly, indicating refusal. So she slowly said,

"Sister Sheng, don't worry. Auntie Wu is a master of emotional management. Losing a duel won't have any impact."

"Alright then." Sheng Ning also chose to respect others' fate.

Seeing that her attempt to persuade surrender was unsuccessful, Youye recovered 1000 LP during the End Phase and chose to end his turn.

"My turn, draw!" Wuping drew a card, and her eyes filled with excitement.

She had drawn [Red-Eyes Fusion] again! In the remaining two turns, there was still a chance to end the duel before Youye drew [Runick Blazing Light]!

After Youye indicated he had no objections, she excitedly moved to Main Phase 1 and placed Red-Eyes Fusion on her Duel Disk.

"I activate Red-Eyes... Wait, why can't I activate it?"

She was stunned, standing rooted to the spot, momentarily unsure what was happening. Since she started dueling, something like this had never happened!

Was there a problem with the Duel Disk? That was impossible! Duel Disks were embedded with the Dueling Rules. Each Duel Disk company could only optimize performance and machinery; the rules themselves wouldn't change.

This meant that the rules wouldn't allow her to activate [Red-Eyes Fusion]!

"Check the Banish Zone and the monsters in your Monster Zones. If I'm not mistaken, it's because all your monsters have been Banished by me, causing [Red-Eyes Fusion] to have no suitable Fusion Materials to activate."

Seeing her stunned, Youye spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wuping began to seriously check what cards were in the Banish Zone and Graveyard. Ten seconds later, she looked at Youye with empty eyes.

Indeed, just as expected, all the monsters in her Deck were either in the Banish Zone or the Graveyard. In this situation, how could the rules allow her Red-Eyes Fusion to activate successfully?

That wasn't the worst part. By checking, she also discovered something else: the Dark Hole she brought for field clearing, the Mystical Space Typhoon for destroying Spell/Trap Cards, and the Pot of Avarice for recovering monsters had all been Banished.

In short: for the remaining four turns, she could play on her phone while waiting to die.

For a moment, her professional smile disappeared, replaced by bitterness, immense bitterness.

Youye and Sheng Ning earlier clearly knew this would happen, which was why they kept reminding her. As a result, she stubbornly went her own way, and now she could only Stall and wait for death.

Sheng Ning sighed lightly. She had encountered a similar situation when dueling against Munin, who was beside her looking as if nothing had happened.

That feeling of hope one second, then slowly descending into despair, was truly too crushing.
