Chapter 786 - 475: The Alice Equation Holds True! (Ten-Thousand-Word - )
[Therefore, before overthrowing all the Gods and the Church, Catherine doesn’t mind helping Alice.][Alice recounted to Catherine about Charles VII and the Abyss.]
["The Abyss... Father actually..." Catherine’s eyes widened in shock, but she quickly seemed to understand something, "Is that so? It’s like negotiating with a tiger."]
["I will keep an eye on the Abyss’s information," Catherine said with a headache, "I don’t know if this time will surpass the Abyss invasion from two thousand years ago. If it does, the entire Dawn Continent will likely face a catastrophic disaster."]
[The millennium Abyss invasion didn’t appear a thousand years ago, so people even thought the Abyss invasion no longer existed. Catherine, who suddenly heard clues of the Abyss, couldn’t quite believe it even after seeing off Alice.]
After completing the stabilization work in Roland City and consolidating her pope position in the Church of the Master of Thunder, Alice took just half a day to rest before heading out again.
This time, she was heading to the War God Temple.
Harms had more than once officially urged the Pope of the Master of Thunder to visit the War God Temple for the ceremony.
Shen Sui calculated the time, and Alice would reach the War God Temple almost the day after tomorrow, right during the finals of the Pacific Cruise Championship.
It must be said, Harms’s timing was spot-on, intending to cause trouble on both sides simultaneously.
Early the next morning, Shen Sui got up.
After enjoying breakfast, he walked towards the hall.
The second round of the competition was also held in the cruise’s dining hall.
To be honest, Shen Sui didn’t feel quite right about the golden hall venue, as he had strongly suggested the organizers move the duel to the top deck.
Of course, in the second round, Shen Sui didn’t have much say, so he could only passively accept it.
When Shen Sui arrived at the hall, most of the contestants were already there.
Many of the "passengers" on the cruise also appeared in the hall as spectators.
Fujimoto Kyosuke saw Shen Sui’s figure and immediately showed an excited expression.
The time to redeem the honor of the Gastrodia deck had come!
The first match of the second round was the duel between Shen Sui and Fujimoto Kyosuke.
"I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!" Fujimoto Kyosuke said excitedly as he looked at Shen Sui.
"Uh... just a few months, right?" Shen Sui puzzled, "Has it been that long?"
Fujimoto Kyosuke’s expression froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and said firmly and arrogantly, "I will use this duel to reclaim the glory that belongs to the Gastrodia deck!"
"Does a deck with only a few championships really have so-called glory?" Shen Sui couldn’t help but retort.
Fujimoto Kyosuke’s mouth twitched.
"Oh, I heard that the deck that Dongye Youzai got banned was bought by a Huaxia collector? If your deck counts as having glory, then wouldn’t Japan’s duel heritage be in Huaxia?"
Pre-fight taunting was part of the psychological tactics, inevitable to savor.
This statement from Shen Sui indeed struck a nerve with Fujimoto Kyosuke.
After the onset of the Extraordinary Invasion, the importance of Life Cards became increasingly apparent.
Then, Japanese citizens discovered that the championship deck of Dongye Youzai was actually bought by a Huaxia buyer? In this era, isn’t this an outright loss of national security resources?!
Originally, the person who sold these cards, Dongye Youzai, was likely to face backlash, but then a long article came out, detailing the persecution Dongye Youzai suffered at the hands of Japan’s Life Card Association and Club Alliance over the years.
If the deck hadn’t been banned, requiring a lot of funds to buy Life Cards to build a new deck, Dongye Youzai wouldn’t have sold his Forbidden Cards.
The ones who should truly apologize are those who led the banning of Dongye Youzai’s deck back then!
Who was in the forefront?
The Fujimoto Clan.
"Bastard! There’s no point in talking! Let’s duel!" Fujimoto Kyosuke decided to speak with a duel.
"Then let’s begin." Shen Sui naturally did not back down.
The Dueling Device lit up, and the duel officially commenced.
"I’ll go first!"
Fujimoto Kyosuke shouted out, then drew five cards from his deck.
At the instant he saw his starting hand, his pupils contracted slightly, his mouth curled into an excited smile, "Shen Sui! Your defeat is already sealed! Today, I will let you see the true power of the Gastrodia deck!"
"As my turn starts." Fujimoto Kyosuke revealed a Life Card from his hand, "I activate from my hand, Permanent Spell Card [Divine Gastrodia·Final Battle]! Increase my hand limit to thirteen, and refill my hand to ten cards! After that, I activate the Event Card [Kangshang Hua]!"
