Youye, who was in the middle of the duel, did not notice their reactions and spoke directly.
"Trishula's effect activates. When this card is Synchro Summoned, I can banish one card each from your field, Graveyard, and hand without targeting. I choose to banish Snake-Eye Sinful Spoils in your Graveyard, Obelisk the Tormentor on your field, and one random card from your hand!"
"Go, Trishula! Become the holy spears of the God of Destruction and banish them!"
Roar!!!
Trishula's three dragon heads let out thunderous roars, then transformed into three gleaming white spears that shot out, striking the three cards in the Graveyard, field, and hand respectively and banishing them.
God Card:
Looking at the gleaming white spear through his chest, Obelisk the Tormentor gave Youye a meaningful look before vanishing.
"Uh..." Sheng Ning looked at Youye with a complicated expression, but said nothing. Neither a god nor Youye was someone she could afford to offend.
Compared to her many reactions, Ouyang Yanyan simply stood there with her mouth open, staring at Trishula on Youye's field in disbelief.
That was a ruthless move. With Trishula, he had banished three of her cards at once—Snake-Eye Sinful Spoils, the key resource for her next turn; Snake-Eye Ash, randomly banished from her hand; and Obelisk the Tormentor, the strongest boss monster on her field.
Yet that only made her more excited. The stronger Youye was, the more she would grow after becoming his servant, and the stronger she would become.
"I'll activate Runick Fountain first, then Continuous Deceit. Next, I activate Runick Flashing Fire, targeting the Great Flame Demon on your field. Destroy it, then banish the top two cards of your Deck!"
"Continuous Deceit's effect activates, banishing the top card of your Deck. Then, Chain Link 2, Runick Fountain's effect activates, targeting Runick Flashing Fire, Rage Storm, and Runick Golden Droplet in my Graveyard."
At that, Youye looked at Ouyang Yanyan, signaling for her to respond if she had anything to chain. Ouyang Yanyan glanced at the Field Spell in her hand and shook her head slightly, indicating that she had nothing.
"Then we resolve the chain. Chain Link 2, Fountain's effect returns the three Runick Quick-Play Spells to the bottom of my Deck, and I draw three cards. Chain Link 1, Continuous Deceit's effect banishes the top card of your Deck."
"Finally, I set two cards, skip the Battle Phase, and end my turn."
After a series of plays, Youye declared the end of his turn.
"Youye, aren't you taking this too seriously? You're not giving her any chance at all," Munin asked from the side, confusion in her eyes.
Ouyang Yanyan had only one card left. What kind of comeback could she possibly make? Was it really worth Youye setting two cards? And at least one of them was Naturia's Spring Breeze.
"I'm not giving her a chance, but you're thinking of Snake-Eye too simply." Youye revealed a mysterious smile. After giving Ouyang Yanyan a glance, he continued.
"Snake-Eye is a one-card starter archetype. Ouyang Yanyan just doesn't know how to use it yet or understand the correct lines. Otherwise, without being disrupted, Snake-Eye can OTK off a single card. And under this kind of endboard, many cards can pull off an OTK by themselves. That's just how strong the deck is."
"A one-card OTK? And with multiple cards?" Munin looked at Ouyang Yanyan, her eyes full of astonishment. She had not seen any sign that Snake-Eye possessed the strength to OTK off one card.
After all, even her Runick archetype needed two cards to get started. One card alone could not do anything. In a sense, Snake-Eye was stronger than Runick as a one-card starter. How could that not surprise her?
Sheng Ning: ?.?
Sheng Ning's face, eyes, and mind were all filled with question marks. A one-card OTK... She thought about it. How many cards did her Ancient Gear archetype need to OTK? After some thought, on a completely empty field, using the Wyvern combo Youye had given her and assuming she was not interrupted, she still needed at least two cards with Limiter Removal to achieve an OTK.
Compared to Snake-Eye, which needed multiple possible cards with no fixed requirement and such visibly low conditions, the difference directly highlighted the psychological shadow she could not even calculate.
For a moment, she wondered how much the higher-ups in the bureau would regret letting a dueling genius like Ouyang Yanyan go after Youye helped her complete her deck and gather the cards. If they had known Snake-Eye was this strong, they probably would have poured every available resource into nurturing her and made her a pillar of the Inspector Bureau.
But it was already too late. Judging by Ouyang Yanyan's current appearance, she would definitely sign a Duel Contract under the Dueling Rules with Youye later. Once she signed it, Ouyang Yanyan would become Youye's most loyal servant and completely cut ties with everyone except him.
What? A traitor? Sorry, under the restrictions of the Dueling Rules, no act of betrayal could be carried out.
"My archetype is that strong?"
Being watched by Munin and Sheng Ning, Ouyang Yanyan could no longer hide her excitement. She had thought her archetype was strong, but she had never expected it to possess such power. It was simply too exciting. For the first time, she even had the urge to surrender—surrender and beg Youye to complete the Duel Contract so she could start collecting her cards and refining her deck.
"It's strong only if you know how to use it. If you ever make another brain-dead play like Summoning Obelisk the Tormentor again, I'll whip you!" Youye could not help shooting her a fierce glare.
"What will you use to whip me? I've never been whipped before." Ouyang Yanyan instinctively replied, then looked toward Youye's lower body.
Youye: つ﹏
Munin: (ˉ▽ˉ;)
Sheng Ning: ><
"Hurry up and continue!" Youye gave a low snort.
Hearing that something was off in Youye's voice, she realized she had made the wrong dirty joke and immediately answered, "Okay!"
"My turn, draw!" After drawing, before she could even ask, Youye told her there was nothing before the Main Phase. Without another word, she moved straight to the Main Phase.
"I activate my second Field Spell, Snake-Eye Temple. Through its activation effect, I place Great Flame Demon in the Spell and Trap Zone. Great Flame Demon's effect activates, targeting Snake-Eye Ash in my Graveyard!"
"I chain Great Flame Demon's effect with the set Quick-Play Spell, Naturia's Spring Breeze. I Special Summon a Naturia monster from my Deck or Graveyard!"
Youye spoke up and added to the chain.
Ouyang Yanyan looked at Youye's play in confusion. Youye definitely knew Snake-Eye Temple's effect, so why was he Summoning a monster to trigger it? Confused as she was, she naturally did not believe Youye had made a mistake.
Munin had just said that Youye's set cards were meant to give her no chance. In other words, Youye was dueling seriously. With that in mind, she stopped thinking about what Youye was doing and focused on doing her own part well—making Youye satisfied with her and having him sign a Duel Contract with her.
But she did not notice that, at this moment, both Youye and Munin's smiles had begun to turn strange.
The effects resolved in reverse order. Chain Link 2, Youye's Naturia's Spring Breeze Special Summoned Camellia from the Graveyard. Chain Link 1, Ouyang Yanyan Special Summoned Great Flame Demon.
After the effects resolved, Youye spoke again. "I activated a Quick-Play Spell, so Continuous Deceit's effect is triggered!"
Seeing Youye activate Continuous Deceit's effect, Ouyang Yanyan immediately chained. "Since Senior Summoned a monster, Chain Link 2, Snake-Eye Temple's effect is triggered. I can Special Summon the monster in my Spell and Trap Zone."
After saying that, just as she thought the effects were about to resolve and prepared to choose which monster to Summon, Youye's voice came again.
"I chain Camellia's first effect as Chain Link 3 to send a card to the Graveyard. Chain Link 4, Camellia's third effect: when you Normal or Special Summon, it can Special Summon a Naturia monster from the Graveyard. Then Chain Link 5, Runick Flashing Fire's effect activates, targeting the Great Flame Demon on your field!"
Ouyang Yanyan: .?
She had only added one chain link. How had three more suddenly been piled on afterward? And why was Camellia so absurd? Being able to precisely send one card to the Graveyard was one thing, but it could also Special Summon an in-archetype monster from the Graveyard without targeting? That was only its first and third effects, which meant it had a second effect too?
Were Naturia's low-level monsters really this strong? Hadn't she heard that the Naturia archetype was only slightly better than the weakest archetypes, good only at suppressing certain decks and practically close to trash?
