Chapter 804 - 483: Introducing Life Card Duels to the World

The four root powers on Dawn Continent are basically considered to be at a bug level of power.Placed in the game "Dawn Link," they highlight an aesthetic of numerical and mechanical prowess.

Take Vivian’s Twilight Power for example; even just Candlelight Illusion can be manipulated into various forms.

And now, the power she demonstrates to seize others’ bodies is also part of Twilight Power.

At the moment the sun sets and twilight arrives, it’s the time when light separates from shadows.

Those covered by Vivian’s candlelight, as long as Vivian doesn’t voluntarily touch and control them, their bodies will forever become Vivian’s puppets, manipulated at her whims.

However, compared to Candlelight Illusion, which is a power created from thin air, this power still has certain limitations, requiring the controlled individual’s strength to be far inferior to Vivian’s.

But this is already more than enough.

In the main storyline, Vivian uses this skill to control many high-ranking members of the Church, and while obtaining a wealth of information about the Gods, she can also give the Gods a surprise attack at a critical moment.

It’s said that if it weren’t for Vivian having a breakdown due to betrayal and doubting her own endeavors, before the Gods even began their recovery, these rebellious Church leaders would have been entirely under Vivian’s control.

With such eerie capabilities, if Vivian’s willpower wavers even slightly, she could become the world’s Great Demon King, the ultimate boss of this world.

Watching Vivian stand on the deck, her face filled with joy, Shen Sui’s thoughts involuntarily drift back to the game he once played.

He played through "Dawn Link" twice in total.

In the first playthrough, due to being inexperienced and reckless, although he completed the game, he failed to win over Vivian.

And what was the ending for Vivian in the first playthrough?

She died on that cold snowy night in Twilight City.

Without the player protagonist’s help, the Twilight Saintess, despite awakening her Candlelight Illusion power, still embraced her despair towards the world and chose death.

She didn’t want to destroy the world, but she also could never forgive it.

"What’s wrong?" By the time Shen Sui snapped back to reality, Vivian had returned and asked softly upon seeing Shen Sui lost in thought.

"Nothing, just some past memories," Shen Sui smiled. There was no need for him to share his memories with Vivian; the past in Twilight City was something Vivian would never want to revisit.

Vivian tilted her head but didn’t continue questioning, instead, she raised her hand and handed several cards to Shen Sui: "Hey, take these cards."

Shen Sui glanced at the cards Vivian handed over; they were cards she had taken from Fujimoto Kyosuke.

"Is it alright?"

"We killed him already; there’s a grudge anyway, so why not use the Life Cards?" Vivian smiled with lips pursed, "Besides, taking someone else’s cards will give them a reason to come and look for you."

"Uh... we’re bored, but not that bored just to find trouble."

"According to the current world rules," Vivian said with an amused look at Shen Sui, "even if they come looking for trouble, it’s likely they’ll do it through a duel."

Upon considering this, Shen Sui found it indeed true: "Then I’ll accept them."

In Japan, there are many duel experts; only by joining the world tournament might one encounter them all. Many Life Card Masters prefer playing in their own small territories and don’t get involved in world tournaments.

Thus, Dongye Youzai, the former world champion, seemed somewhat out of place there.

Shen Sui glanced at the cards in his hand and couldn’t help but comment, "Having such strong suppression cards and never using them even once, Fujimoto Kyosuke totally wasted the deck’s potential."

"Wow, decks have potential too," Vivian laughed upon hearing Shen Sui’s words.

"Their version is their potential," Shen Sui raised the cards in his hand and said, "Some strategies and setups might be advanced right now, but as versions change, they’ll gradually turn into outdated strategies. If you don’t use them now, are you waiting until everyone has countermeasures?"

What frustrated Shen Sui was, he’d already dueled with the Giant Spider deck twice, and still hadn’t encountered Dasixi, which left him a bit bothered.

"Say, since there’s Pure, Da San Yuan, and Dasixi, could there also be Thirteen Orphans?" Vivian blinked and said, "There should be many other card types, but I only found three in his deck."

"In Japanese Mahjong, it’s likely the Unrivaled National Hero," Shen Sui said, "It might not be there, or it’s buried in the deck and not drawn. After all, when I dueled with the Giant Spider deck last time, there wasn’t a single fake card that lets you start with ten cards."

Shen Sui took out the "Divine Gastrodia·Final Battle."

Although the suppressive effect of Dasixi is indeed powerful, its summoning requires four materials: "Full House Gastrodia·Xi Card·East Wind," "Full House Gastrodia·Xi Card·West Wind," "Full House Gastrodia·Xi Card·South Wind," and "Full House Gastrodia·Xi Card·North Wind," which he wouldn’t add just for one Dasixi. Without drawing Dasixi, those four Xi Cards are completely wasteful, making them unsuitable for my deck.

"However, this set of Dasixi suppression components is quite fitting for Freymia," Shen Sui said, struck by inspiration.
