Chapter 908 - 532: As Expected, Next Time I’ll Just Fill My Hand with Traps
Yang Liguang had originally been watching Shen Sui’s every move there with great anticipation.This man known as the God of Age had already become a legend on the lips of Huaxia’s Life Card Masters; it was also he who played the Soul Card’s Form Transformation to such extremes in Duels that the prices of Life Cards with Form Transformation effects shot through the roof.
As for how exactly the God of Age managed to grind out so many Life Cards from the Soul Card World, this question had always been a mystery within the circle of Life Card Masters.
Yang Liguang had thought she might get to witness the God of Age grinding cards in action today, but much to her disappointment, the grand sight of Shen Sui waving his hands and commanding like she had imagined never appeared. Shen Sui merely held his Dueling Device, sliding his finger across the screen, looking for all the world like he was just reading a novel.
He didn’t even bother to leave any comments or snarky remarks, let alone guide Soul Cards to farm Life Cards.
He moved! He moved!
Suddenly, Yang Liguang saw Shen Sui raise his hand and tap the screen, then start typing something, as if issuing some kind of command.
But even after a long time, his Dueling Device still didn’t show any reaction.
Of course, she had no idea that Shen Sui had long since switched his Dueling Device to silent mode. Never mind obtaining Life Cards— even if the Soul Card World were to be destroyed on the spot, his Dueling Device wouldn’t make a peep.
As for Shen Sui, the command he gave Alice was to stand by where she was and wait for further orders before heading to the Shipgirl World.
Alice’s initiative was simply too high; if he let her go to the Shipgirl World while he wasn’t paying attention, who knew what she might end up doing over there.
Moreover, thanks to Alice’s repeated back-and-forth scalpings of Divinity, Baris’s condition had already dropped below the warning line. As long as she didn’t continue absorbing the Divinity of other Gods, there would be no problem in the short term, and there was still a bit of leeway to wait.
After issuing the wait command to Alice, Shen Sui closed Alice’s interface and casually opened Qishala’s point of view.
Not long after Shen Sui got up and left, Qishala had already taken Mitole to World No. 20 of the Soul Card Worlds where the Parasite Beasts resided, accompanied by Antipus, who had been granted leave by Shen Sui.
Our Little Insect Lady had really been the ultimate workhorse lately— not only did she have to repel some overly powerful invaders, she also had to construct the buffer zone around the outer perimeter of the real world.
At this point, Antipus had already completed nearly ninety percent of the work. The remaining portion required coordination with real-world Life Card Masters to be perfected, so she could temporarily pull herself away and go have some fun on vacation.
When Shen Sui switched over to Qishala’s viewpoint, a string of Life Card acquisition notifications popped up instantly.
So it turned out that the Apocalypse World No. 20’s final war had already begun. The Saint’s Favored organization was using tens of thousands of Parasite Beasts to launch assaults on the last few remaining major human cities.
The place where Qishala’s group descended was a human city that had just fallen. The very first sight she took in upon arriving in this world was the Saint’s Favored letting their Parasite Beasts loose to carry out brutal, inhuman slaughter against the unarmed residents of the city.
This scene enraged the usually gentle Qishala; she abandoned her original intention of restraining Mitole and Antipus and released all restraints.
With no restraints at all, Mitole perfectly demonstrated the ultimate level of destruction that a Star Abyss White Dragon raised with zero discipline could unleash.
Qishala and Antipus practically didn’t even need to lift a finger— Mitole alone was enough to turn this Apocalypse World into a grass-cutting game.
However, along the way, what they ran into were basically all small fry— well, at least in Qishala’s eyes they were small fry...
Shen Sui’s Parasite Beasts had yet to be encountered, for the moment. However, Qishala had already dug up intel on one of the Parasite Beasts and was currently heading in the direction indicated by the intel.
Once he confirmed that everything was within his control and there were no hidden dangers, Shen Sui was finally able to relax.
This time he had gone out of his way to take precautions and prepare before the Duel. It shouldn’t be that some inexplicable mess popped up again while he was just trying to play a few cards, right?
Shen Sui let out a breath of relief, then looked up at Wang Ming and Yang Liguang and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting."
With that, he stood up and walked to one corner of the Duel arena. "Let’s begin, then."
Wang Ming glanced over at Yang Liguang, and after confirming that neither side had any issues, announced the start of the Duel.
The turn card began to flip, and Yang Liguang watched the ownership of the turn card with some nervousness.
If it had been before, she wouldn’t have cared about who got first turn at all. She might even have preferred going second, since that would allow her deck’s strength to be brought out to the fullest.
But times had changed. Shen Sui’s track record was right there for all to see; no matter how unwilling she was deep down, she still had to admit how terrifying Shen Sui was when he went first.
Since his debut, Shen Sui had maintained an unbroken record of victories. There wasn’t a single Duel in the public footage where he’d been defeated.
Yet even within an unbroken record, there were still differences.
There was also a certain disparity between Shen Sui’s performance when going first versus going second. Judging by how quickly matches ended, Shen Sui tended to finish things even faster in Duels where he went second; there were quite a few matches where he scored a kill in just a single turn.
By comparison, his average number of turns when going first was a bit higher than when he went second.
But only those who truly understood Duels would know just how utterly despair-inducing Shen Sui’s first-turn games really were.
