My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Chapter 796 - 479: Only the Decks of the Dead Lack Soul Cards

Alice didn’t want to bring trouble to her friends and family.Seeing Alice’s heartfelt intentions, Shen Sui was very gratified.

No matter how Alice behaved, at least she had the right mindset.

"You sure are easy to satisfy." Vivian said with a laugh, covering her mouth.

"If I weren’t easy to satisfy, I could introduce you to hundreds of wives in no time." Shen Sui retorted.

Vivian glared at Shen Sui, "Hmph! If it weren’t for you not having money to buy rings, that might have already happened by now."

Shen Sui was momentarily speechless.

"Speaking of which, are you planning to turn the War God Church into Arianna’s Death Poets Society?" Vivian suddenly asked.

After traveling through various worlds, Vivian’s thoughts were no longer as extreme.

Although her ultimate goal was to eliminate the Gods on the Dawn Continent, working with some Gods willing to accept her ideals wasn’t completely unacceptable.

Arianna was a good example.

After being tormented by Shen Sui and Vivian in succession, the Goddess of Death, Arianna, had come to terms with the situation and fully became Shen Sui’s divine agent on the Dawn Continent.

"The major churches have probably already divided up the Death God’s followers." Vivian blinked and said, "Getting the War God’s followers to convert to the Goddess of Death is not going to be an easy task."

"It’s actually rather simple." Shen Sui said with a smile, "As long as they all die, won’t they naturally start believing in the Goddess of Death?"

Vivian was silent.

To be fair, there is some truth to that.

The War God Church was notoriously aggressive, never ceasing its conquests of surrounding churches.

And war naturally brings death. People’s fear of death is innate. If at that moment someone could resurrect you, and all you had to do in exchange was convert to the Goddess of Death, many would accept.

Besides, Arianna is currently wearing the guise of the War God, which gives many of the War God’s followers who wish to be resurrected an excuse.

Although in reality it was Arianna who usurped the War God’s position, in consideration of the followers’ sentiments, it could nominally be said that the War God usurped the position from the Goddess of Death.

"I don’t know whether to be happy or sad." Vivian laughed bitterly, "Although such a thing requires heavy casualties to achieve, I actually feel like it could easily be realized on the Dawn Continent."

"Alright, let’s leave the matters of the Dawn Continent to Alice for now." Shen Sui wrapped an arm around Vivian’s waist and said, "I’m confident Alice will bring us good news."

"Are you sure connecting with Alice will bring good news?" Vivian questioned skeptically.

Shen Sui’s hand froze slightly, but he quickly continued with determination, "At the very least, the outcome will definitely be good."

"The Descent Association is very likely to take action during the finals tomorrow." Vivian indeed had to temporarily ignore the matters of the Dawn Continent, "Who knows what amusing response they will have when they realize the magic array has been tampered with by me."

"More than that, I’m concerned about tomorrow’s duel."

With Vivian’s remark, Shen Sui remembered the main task at hand. He retrieved his deck from the dueling device and began planning the deck he would use for the finals tomorrow.

Although Louise would sometimes let her nerves get the better of her during a duel, the strength of her deck could not be underestimated. In fact, her follower cards were overall superior to Shen Sui’s, except for the Soul Cards.

Of course, if the Soul Cards were included, Alice alone could easily crush her.

Seeing Shen Sui seriously constructing his deck, Vivian smiled sweetly and said, "You, the Dawn Continent is at war with the Gods and you act as if it doesn’t concern you, but a duel is something you take so seriously."

"Of course." Shen Sui replied, "I can settle the Gods’ war in a single turn, but I can’t finish tomorrow’s duel in one turn."

Vivian was taken aback and didn’t know how to respond to Shen Sui’s words.

From a factual perspective, there seemed to be truth in what was said.

For Shen Sui, the duration of combat was really not necessarily longer than a duel.

The duration of movement relates to the longevity of pleasure.

A battle concluded in a second is evidently not as enjoyable as an engagement lasting several rounds.

This was also true for Shen Sui.

Vivian chuckled helplessly.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons Shen Sui liked this world.

At the very least, dueling still brought him a lot of joy.

While Shen Sui was happily preparing for the duel, the Huaxia Exploration Bureau was dealing with an entirely different situation.

This time, the agents of the Huaxia Exploration Bureau in World No. 1 finally played their roles, even uncovering the crucial intelligence that Harms was the leader of the Pseudo-Dusk Council.

Previously, the Huaxia Exploration Bureau had already largely confirmed the connection between the Descent Association and the Pseudo-Dusk Council.

Combining this with intelligence from agents within the War God Church, Zhang Fang instantly sensed something unusual.

They were likely planning something.

So, Zhang Fang immediately ordered the arrest of all monitored individuals.

It was under these circumstances that You Wenqi was summoned to the Exploration Bureau in Jing City, where Zhang Fang personally received him.

"You guys sure stirred up a commotion tonight." You Wenqi remarked, looking at the steaming teacup, "Some even say you want to seize full control under the guise of the Extraordinary Invasion."

"Rumors like that haven’t stopped since I became the Director General of the Exploration Bureau." Zhang Fang, standing by the window, chuckled, "But, in the past, those spreading such rumors were insiders of the Extraordinary Invasion, and now the crowd has merely expanded. Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

"Does it have to do with the arrested Life Card Masters?" You Wenqi pondered briefly, "I’ve had a few duels with them."

"They are all members of the Descent Association."

"What?" You Wenqi exclaimed in surprise, "How could that be?"

"To be precise, they are no longer the people you knew. After participating in the Pacific Cruise Championship, the real them died, and the ones who returned from the ship were the Descent Association’s Disguisers." Zhang Fang explained, "We initially held a glimmer of hope that some of them might be innocent, but unfortunately, after interrogation, without exception, all had been replaced by the Descent Association at sea."

"Most of those who were replaced were children of domestic affluent families. After disembarking from the Saint Yimiti, they seemed like different people, actively engaging in their family’s business. Many have, within just a few years, come to control their family’s resources." Zhang Fang noted, "Of course, such individuals are also not uncommon in dueling families."

"Is it truly such a flawless disguise?"

"That’s the nature of Extraordinary power." Zhang Fang sighed, "There will be many more precautions that can’t be easily defended against in the future, and we probably need to get used to it."

"Oh, that reminds me," Zhang Fang seemed to recall something and smiled at You Wenqi, "Do you know the most significant trait of these Disguisers?"

You Wenqi looked up, meeting Zhang Fang’s gaze.

Zhang Fang paced slowly as he said, "They inherit the deck of the deceased’s original owner, but since they are not the original owner, they can’t wield the original owner’s Soul Card, so they never engage in any Soul Card operations during duels. Only the decks of the dead lack Soul Cards."

With that, Zhang Fang fixed his gaze on You Wenqi.

You Wenqi furrowed his brows.

"I’m curious, why don’t you use Soul Cards in your duels?" Zhang Fang asked, watching You Wenqi intently, speaking each word deliberately.

You Wenqi’s expression swiftly turned cold. "Are you suspecting that I’m a Disguiser from the Descent Association?"

Zhang Fang sat back in his chair casually, soothing You Wenqi’s emotions gently. "I certainly trust you. But, you know, individuals with similar circumstances need to be ruled out, don’t they?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Not long ago, there was a stellar rift in World No. 3, which is highly likely to affect our world. We need the assistance of the Extraordinary from World No. 3."

You Wenqi just happened to be a Life Card Master from World No. 3.
