My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Who knows why this guy has over fifty different forms!

Haral crashed more than twenty times on Alice before he finally figured out the exact number of her forms.

What on earth is going on with this guy?

Haral took a deep breath, shaking off the depression and distress from deep in his memory.

No matter what, the victory of this duel is ultimately mine!

Shen Sui had no idea that Haral was so upset because of Alice; in any case, he was really upset now.

Alice’s most crucial and powerful forms were all disabled by Haral, although this disable will be lifted at the end of the turn, what use will lifting it be by then? If he doesn’t find a way to deal with the Black Emperor this turn, Haral will be able to make a series of moves next turn using the change in Soul Points.

No matter what, [Cursed Puppet Natasha] was ultimately saved.

Shen Sui quickly calmed his mind, activated the effect of the cursed puppet in the graveyard, removed her from play, and sent three [Puppet] followers from the deck to the graveyard, and activated a Spell Card from the deck.

He was going to activate [Shining Debut]!

"Discard a card from the hand and special summon a follower with 5 stars or less from my deck."

Shen Sui opened the deck: "Special summon, [Sacrificial Puppet Ada]."

The moment the Sacrificial Puppet appeared, her effect activated, filling Shen Sui’s field with Sacrificial Puppet derivatives.

If someone was either Shen Sui’s earliest fan or opponent, seeing him summon the Sacrificial Puppet, they would probably guess what Shen Sui intended to do.

Though in the later stages, Shen Sui rarely allowed Qishala to make a regular appearance, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do it.

Haral’s deck is really too shameless; the longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for me. I must act swiftly.

Shen Sui activated the effect of [Puppet Angel: Listening Angel] sent to the graveyard by the cursed puppet, copying the effect of [Substitute Puppet Jamie] from the banished zone, removed it from the graveyard, and added a multi-form follower to his hand from the deck.

"At this moment, reveal the face-down card." However, at that moment, Haral revealed the face-down card.

Shen Sui’s expression froze, at this time...

Then he quickly realized, Haral intentionally let him summon Alice.

Because only when Alice is on the field can he disable Alice’s form.

Haral activated the face-down card [Dynasty Ban], attempting to prevent this search.

Shen Sui decisively activated the effect of [Unbindable Alice], disabling one of Alice’s forms, negating the opponent’s effect.

The effect of [Unbindable Alice] has no once-per-turn restriction; as long as there are enough forms of Alice, Shen Sui can negate until the opponent questions their existence.

Naturally, Haral was aware of this card’s effect; that was his intention all along.

The fewer forms Alice has, the less threat she poses to him.

Moreover, to counter this form’s effect, Haral added a description to his key effects saying they don’t allow the opponent to chain and activate effects.

Haral looked at Shen Sui gleefully.

He resembled a hunter, quietly watching the prey struggle before destiny’s death.

He had long seen all the struggles of Shen Sui and reveled in it.

—Next, you’re going to summon [Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala]!

Shen Sui lit up the Qishala in his hand and pointed to the five followers on the field: "Release the five followers on the field, summon normally! [Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala]!"

—And then, it’s [Celestial Deceiver Alice]!

Shen Sui would never let Alice be released like this, even if she lost seven forms, Alice still has infinite possibilities.

"When Alice is released, activate the effect of [Celestial Deceiver Alice], transform Alice to this form, and treat this release as successful."

With a loud explosion, the proud figure of Qishala descended upon Shen Sui’s field.

—And then the cleansing of the field by the Celestial Deceiver!

"Activate the effect of [Celestial Deceiver Alice], once per turn during either player’s turn, ignoring activation timings, copy one of Alice’s forms’ effects to activate."

What Shen Sui intended to activate was naturally the field-cleansing effect of the Destroyer of the Earth.

No matter if it’s clearing the forwarded area or not, the rear area must be cleared.

With the explosion of the card, Haral’s rear field was cleared.

"What a pity." Haral showed a smug smile, "because of the Black Emperor’s presence, your effects are ineffective against the Black Emperor’s followers!"

Shen Sui stared into Haral’s eyes.

Without a doubt, Haral definitely knew the infinite combo effect of Qishala.

But the situation has reached this point, and I have to proceed!

Shen Sui’s gaze fell on the Undead Soldiers on Haral’s field.

Undead Soldiers won’t be destroyed by battle!

Shen Sui paid the remaining Soul Points, covered a Spell Card on his field, then ended the main phase...

"When your main phase ends, activate the effect of [The Black Emperor’s Queen]." At this moment, Haral spoke again, "Allow one of the multi-form followers on your field to undergo a form transformation."

"Activate the effect of [Elemental Life: Lava Fairy] in my hand, negating your activated effect." Shen Sui decisively activated his hand trap, [Black Emperor’s Taboo] had already been destroyed by Alice, and the hand trap showed signs of life again.

Though the Black Emperor makes all [Black Emperor] followers unaffected by card effects, the effect of the Lava Fairy targets the activated effect rather than these followers.
