As Hieratic destroyed Geri in battle, Youye laughed and spoke.

"Geri's effect after being destroyed in battle activates, targeting your Hieratic on the field and destroying it!"

As Youye finished speaking, the Geri in the Graveyard transformed into a malevolent spirit, pulling Hieratic into the Banish Zone.

Looking at the single Field Spell on her field, Chang Xingge fell silent. She had expected a big gap, but not this big. For a moment, from start to finish, she felt that only the initial Lightning Storm hadn't followed Youye's pace.

Everything else had followed his pace. Whatever she wanted to do, Youye had calculated and anticipated perfectly, leaving her no chance at all.

"I end my turn." Chang Xingge looked deeply at Youye before choosing to declare the End Phase.

Youye didn't try to persuade her this time. His previous duel with Wuping had made him realize that trying to convince duelists in this world to surrender was useless; even garbage time had to be played out.

However, since she was his client, he wouldn't let her Stall and be completely depleted.

"During your End Phase, Saya's effect resolves. She and Leo return to the field." Youye spoke, then entered his turn.

Chang Xingge had used up all her resources, so naturally nothing happened during her Draw and Standby Phases. Youye Normal Summoned Effect Veiler, then Special Summoned Munin with Spellbook. Fountain returned one card and drew one. Then he Synchro Summoned Baronne, used Baronne's effect to destroy Leo, and finally activated its Self-Restriction, skipping the Battle Phase.

With Baronne out and Leo destroyed, Chang Xingge, with no hope left, chose to Normal Summon Magic Mirror and crash it into Baronne on her turn, giving herself a final act of defiance.

When it was Youye's turn again, this time Youye summoned Munin during the Battle Phase. Under the direct attacks of Baronne + Munin + Saya, Chang Xingge lost the duel.

"You won, Senior."

By the end, Youye hadn't chosen to slowly torture her by depleting her Deck, but rather finished her off. Chang Xingge naturally understood this point.

"You did well too." Youye smiled slightly.

"This is the reward I promised. Please accept it." Chang Xingge handed a golden card to Youye.

"Herald of Orange Light?" Youye took it and looked at the card, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Without the two soldiers, Herald felt somewhat useless to him, but it was better than nothing. He could keep it as a side deck option; after all, he got it easily.

"Is this card not good?"

As the Vice Minister of the Duel Association's Hangcheng branch, Chang Xingge was naturally good at reading people. She saw the disappointment in Youye's eyes and became a little nervous. What if Youye didn't want to help her build her Drytron Deck because this card was the worst one on the list she gave him? That would make her feel even worse.

"It's alright. If it's convenient, could you tell me about the next two cards?" Youye asked.

Hearing Youye's question, Chang Xingge's expression became a little awkward. In her heart, Youye's first card was already considered quite good. The next two were even more awkward.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Chang Xingge didn't answer, Youye was a bit confused. From what she said before, it didn't seem like she was lying, but what did this current expression mean?

"Senior Youye, may I say something?" Just then, Luo Hao walked over and bowed slightly, asking.

Youye glanced at the silent Chang Xingge, then focused on Luo Hao, signaling that he could speak.

Luo Hao nodded slightly to Chang Xingge, then immediately spoke: "The cards in Xingge's hand are likely one unusable card, [Mudora the Sword Oracle], and one [Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World] that she obtained from resolving a Dark Duel last time. Although these two cards are on your list, in a sense, they are even more useless than the Herald you just received."

Was what he said wrong? No. No one could use Mudora, and with Grapha's summoning conditions, who could possibly summon it?

However...

"Holy crap? A God!!!" Youye was instantly shocked when he heard that. His initially slightly puzzled heart suddenly became excited. Grapha aside, if he got Mudora, Wheelchair Tearlaments would have one more card, bringing him closer to using it.

"Uh, it's Mudora, a Level 4 EARTH Attribute Fairy-Type monster with 1500 Attack and 1800 Defense, an Ishizu Archetype monster whose effect is unknown, not a God." Seeing Youye's strong reaction, Luo Hao naturally assumed it was because Mudora had "Sword Oracle" in its name, making him think it was a God Card. Afraid Youye might misunderstand, he immediately corrected him.

"I know. The God I'm talking about is him!" With Luo Hao providing that information, Youye nodded in confirmation. Even without mentioning the name, a monster that fit those four conditions... could only be Mudora.

"???"

Luo Hao's mind was filled with question marks. What the heck? A card that even their Duel Association Heaven-tier duelists couldn't use was a God?!

Chang Xingge, who had been feeling a bit down, was completely bewildered. Although she didn't know Mudora's effect, its attributes and stats were completely unremarkable. Even the "Oracle" in its name was just part of the name.

"Senior, is its effect incredibly powerful? Comparable to a God Card?" After a while, Wang Cheng on the side asked.

As soon as he spoke, everyone, including Munin, looked at Youye, full of curiosity, waiting for his answer.

"For truly mainstream Decks, or rather, mainstream Archetypes, most wouldn't include it. However, for a Deck I plan to build in the future, it's practically a God Card!" Youye didn't reveal the specific effect, only mentioning it briefly. He naturally wouldn't reveal his hand like that.

"I see." Wang Cheng nodded silently. Youye didn't ask further, and neither did he. The others were the same; they all knew what was appropriate to ask and what wasn't.

"Then, Senior, about the Deck Build?" Chang Xingge asked timidly, her eyes full of anticipation. This was an opportunity, a chance to improve herself!

"No problem. We'll go to Master Duel now so you can see the build, and then I'll demonstrate the playstyle for you," Youye said with a smile. He paused slightly after speaking: "However, you'll have to solve the card issue yourself. I can't help with that."

"Okay, I understand that." Chang Xingge replied with an excited smile.

"Senior, after you're done with Chang Xingge's matter, I wonder if you could give me a chance to duel you? I'd like to see the gap between me and you. Of course, we can just do it in Master Duel like with Xingge," Luo Hao said, looking at Youye with anticipation. As he spoke, he handed Youye a golden card.

Youye curiously took the card and was surprised to see it was [El Shaddoll Midrash], also known as Midrash—one of the Extra Deck cards he needed!

Immediately, a smile appeared on his face, and he suggested, "No problem. How about this? I'll just duel you with Drytron later, so you can see just how big the gap between us is."

"No problem. But is the Drytron Archetype very strong? As a new Archetype, and a new Ritual Archetype at that, it seems impossible to develop? Could it be like Swordsoul, a Deck that requires multiple Archetypes to work together?" Luo Hao's face was full of curiosity.

As Vice Minister, he naturally knew about her Archetype and had even tried to help Chang Xingge develop a suitable build, although the outcome wasn't ideal.

"Yes, it's a multi-Archetype Fusion. As for the strength of Drytron... let me think." Youye fell into thought. The main thing was that telling them about its past as a top-tier Deck wouldn't be useful; he needed to find a suitable analogy.

"Simply put, a true Drytron Deck, going first and not encountering extremely powerful board breakers, as long as it successfully starts its combo, the opponent going second can basically just wait to be defeated. It can make the opponent lose the right to play Yu-Gi-Oh... no, lose the right to duel," Youye concluded after a while.

???

Upon hearing this, the three people and one Spirit were stunned, even though they were somewhat prepared.

What kind of end board could make the opponent going second lose the right to duel without specific counter cards?
