After hearing Yuye's comment, Mo Wang frowned tightly.
From what Yuye said, everything Mo Yun did earlier was fine—
But starting from the second Ukiyo-e Punk Amazing Dragon, everything went wrong.
But as an Earth Rank Duelist himself, he couldn't see what the problem was at all.
Mo Yun also lowered her head, replaying Yuye's words carefully.
As a former competitive-standard archetype, P.U.N.K. wasn't easy to pilot.
The fact that she obtained the full set at Mystic Rank meant she was naturally smart.
So she understood what Yuye meant:
Summoning a second Amazing Dragon was pointless.
Because that second Amazing Dragon was nothing but a Blue-Eyes White Dragon with no effects.
Aside from a 3000 ATK body, it contributed absolutely nothing.
But she didn't understand—
Isn't high ATK good enough?!
It's a 3000 ATK monster! As strong as Blue-Eyes!
How is that not good?!
Of course, she didn't dare question Yuye's judgement.
Her father had told her personally that Yuye, back when he was still Yellow Rank, had crushed two Earth Rank Duelists.
Even he, Mo Wang, admitted he probably couldn't beat Yuye anymore.
And that was when Yuye was Yellow Rank.
Now he was already a Mystic Rank.
According to the rules, when you reach Mystic Rank, if your archetype lacks central cards, the system will automatically grant them.
Yuye's Tearlament and Labrynth decks definitely had missing core cards—
So logically, he should've received the upgrades, meaning his strength had risen again.
It was even possible that Yuye could already fight their clan's Heaven Rank ancestor.
Someone like that…
She had no reason to doubt.
So she held back her confusion and finished the turn.
"I activate Noh-P.U.N.K. Deer Note from my hand—
I reveal Noh-P.U.N.K. Ogre Dance, send Deer Note to the Graveyard, and Special Summon Ogre Dance in Attack Position."
With that, Mo Yun ended her turn and silently looked at Ouyang Yanyan.
Noticing her gaze, Ouyang Yanyan's lips curled upward.
Her heart was pounding with excitement.
If she had faced this field before receiving Yuye's deck and combo formulas—
She would've immediately surrendered.
Without Obelisk the Tormentor, she had zero chance of breaking this field.
But now?
With the Snake-Eye deck, Yuye personally refined for her—
She felt no pressure at all.
Her turn began. She drew, and Main Phase 1 kicked off.
"I activate the Field Spell Snake-Eye Shrine.
When it's activated, I place a Snake-Eye monster from my deck into my Spell & Trap Zone as a Continuous Spell."
"I chain!
GEM-P.U.N.K. Wild Pickaxe Slash!!
Targeting your Snake-Eye Shrine—destroy it!"
Mo Yun cut her off immediately.
She knew if Snake-Eye Shrine resolved, Ouyang Yanyan would place Big Flame Demon, then easily Special Summon it, gain resources, and eventually crash into Amazing Dragon for value.
She wasn't going to allow that.
But Yanyan just smiled wider.
And began her combo.
Normal Summon Snake-Eye Blue →
Blue searches Ash, the Ember →
Ash Special Summons itself →
Ash searches Spell: Original Sin Artifact – Snake-Eye →
Ash Link Summons Linkuriboh →
Ash's send-to-GY effect places itself into the S/T Zone as a Continuous Spell.
Mo Yun: "Linkuriboh…?"
She tilted her head, confused.
Wasn't this supposed to be Snake-Eye?
Why is an Electronic-type monster showing up?
What's the point?
Mo Wang, too, made a guess:
"Senior Yuye… when you say 'main engine,' do you mean only the main deck?"
"You got half of it.
Keep watching."
Yuye nodded.
So they continued watching—
And the combo escalated.
Blue + Ash = Snake-Eye Green
Green revives Blue
Green + Linkuriboh = Snake-Eye Ember Dragon
GY Linkuriboh tributes Blue → revives itself
Linkuriboh + Ember Dragon = Dark the Dark Charmer
Ember Dragon's effect revives both Blue + Green
Dark charmer steals Mo Yun's Ogre Dance
Dark + Ogre Dance = Diabellstar the Black Witch
Diabellstar revives Ember Dragon
Ember Dragon + Diabellstar = Salamangreat Phoenix
Phoenix Link = Worldsea Dragon Zealantis
Yanyan stopped here proudly.
Mo Wang and Mo Yun: "???"
One Level 1, one Level 8, and a totally useless Link-4 Zealantis.
Yes—utterly useless Zealantis.
They had just given one away earlier, so they knew how mediocre it was.
One-card combo reaching this point was impressive, sure—
But compared to Mo Yun's double 3000-ATK Synchros?
Laughable.
Father and daughter stared at each other.
Mo Wang: "Did she mess up the combo?"
Mo Yun: "Probably… I mean, who downgrades a Link-4 boss into a weaker Link-4?"
Before they finished silently arguing—
Yuye spoke:
"If the OTK line is done, end it already.
There's a customer upstairs."
Father/daughter: "???"
How the hell do you OTK with 800 + 2500 + 3000 ATK pieces?
Even with boosts, the math didn't add up—
Unless Zealantis pulled something insane.
And then—
"Yes, my lord!"
Ouyang Yanyan activated:
"I activate Worldsea Dragon Zealantis!
I banish all monsters on the field—
Then Special Summon them back in any positions I choose!"
"I return your two Amazing Dragons and Ogre Dance in face-down Defense Position!
And I return my Ember Dragon and Ash in Attack Position!"
"Now the effect of Demon of the Cursed Flame – Jōki in my GY!
Once per turn—
When your monsters are Special Summoned, I target 1 of your monsters and 1 FIRE monster I control—
Destroy them both and Special Summon Jōki!"
"I target my Snake-Eye Blue and your set Amazing Dragon!"
Mo Wang & Mo Yun: "???!!"
And it didn't stop.
"The effect of Salamangreat Phoenix in my GY!
When a FIRE monster I control is destroyed—
I target one of them and Special Summon Phoenix!
Then Phoenix gains ATK equal to the destroyed monster's ATK!"
Blue is 3000.
So Phoenix becomes 3800 ATK!"
At this point, father and daughter were pale.
They finally understood.
Battle Phase:
Zealantis can blow up 3.
Mo Yun only has 5000 LP.
The ATK numbers?
2700 + 2500 + 3800 + 3000 = 12,000+ damage.
She was dead ten times over.
"Senior… what EX Deck cards do I still need?"
Mo Yun asked nervously after losing.
If Snake-Eye could OTK her without Obelisk—
The transformation was insane.
"You're missing quite a lot.
If you want pure P.U.N.K., first get the Level 11 Synchro:
Psychic End Punisher.
Once you get it out, except for rare cases,
almost no Mystic Rank Duelist can break it.
Even most Earth Rank Duelists will fail."
Mo Yun: "Senior… what's its effect?
One card can make me reach Earth Rank?"
Yuye answered:
"3500 ATK.
Same summoning requirement as Amazing Dragon.
Effect 1: If your LP is lower, it becomes immune to activated effects—pseudo-immunity.
Effect 2: Pay 1000 LP to banish 1 of your monsters and 1 opponent card.
Effect 3: During battle, it gains ATK equal to the LP difference."
Mo Yun: "Senior—
Are you sure it's not 'P.U.N.K. Psychic End Punisher,' just 'Psychic End Punisher'?"
Mo Wang, too, was stunned.
How could such a perfect card not be part of the P.U.N.K. archetype?
3500 ATK.
Self-protection.
LP-difference ATK explosion.
Fits P.U.N.K.'s LP-paying playstyle perfectly.
Yet it wasn't a P.U.N.K.?!
"Of course not.
Did you really think your daughter could be Mystic Rank otherwise?"
Yuye rolled his eyes.
"Yun'er… you…
You're the hope of our Mo family!"
Mo Wang trembled with excitement.
Mo Yun's pale hands tightened.
She couldn't hide her joy.
Heaven Rank…
She could actually reach it!
"…Don't celebrate yet.
End Punisher is just part of it.
When I say the main engine, I don't mean only the Extra Deck."
Yuye stopped their excitement.
"Senior… what do you mean?"
"Come look.
This is the complete version."
He logged into Master Duel on his alt and showed them the list.
18 hand traps + tech cards.
22-engine core.
Mo Yun's excitement vanished.
Mo Wang went white.
Almost all P.U.N.K. spells/traps were removed—
Except for the field spell and one essential card.
Then they checked the EX Deck—
"Senior, why is Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star, in my daughter's Extra Deck?"
Mo Wang was stunned.
He had just given away his original copy.
Why did his daughter's deck need it?!
"A question for you:
What level are Foxy Tune and Ogre Dance?
Do P.U.N.K.s have restrictions on Xyz Summoning?
And how strong is Dingirsu?"
"Level 8…
No restrictions…
And Dingirsu is insanely strong—
…wait…
WAIT—"
Mo Wang froze.
He had personally given away the perfect endboard card for his daughter.
And now it was gone forever.His regret reached astronomical levels.
