My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

[Starlight Elf God: Twin Nias].

"Tap the card face with the staff, and you can complete the transformation," Vivian introduced.

Alice imitated the action.

The moment the Star Staff touched the Twin Nias card face, Alice felt as if her realm had transformed.

With the starlight representing Gemini spreading transparent wings of light behind her, Alice’s realm suddenly jumped to the fourteenth level.

"The realm after transformation will be equivalent to the realm of the Starlight Elf Card. When you exit this form, your realm will fall back to your real realm," Vivian explained casually upon seeing Alice’s confusion, "This is also this world’s power system."

As long as you gain the recognition of a high-level Starlight Elf, you can transform into that level’s form.

This was something Vivian had ranted about when she first arrived in this world.

In this world, training held no meaning; your strength was closely tied to your luck and emotional intelligence.

The battlefield evolution changing the battle scenario was something that happened all the time in this world.

"Oh~! That’s how it is."

Alice nodded knowingly.

In fact, she didn’t understand at all.

"Alright, come with me now," Vivian said, pressing Alice’s shoulder.

"Go? Where to?"

"To defeat the Demon God who intends to destroy this world."

"What!!! Me?" Alice pointed at herself incredulously, "I just learned to transform?!"

Vivian nodded solemnly: "That’s enough."

In fact, she was enough by herself, but bringing Alice along could provide Shen Sui with more Life Cards. Since the opportunity was right there, naturally, Vivian wouldn’t miss it.

Alice pursed her lips, harboring a bit of hope: "This Demon God should be very weak, right?"

Vivian thought about it: "Not weak, capable of destroying this world with ease."

"Then I might die?"

"Unlikely... right." Vivian said uncertainly, though Alice could be resurrected, it was hard to say if she’d die.

Hearing Vivian’s uncertain "right," Alice knew things weren’t looking good.

However, she didn’t outright refuse.

If it really gets too tough, she’d just run away.

Alice had some confidence in her ability to slip away; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so predisposed to risk-taking.

The Demon God intending to destroy this world...

Alice tried to call upon Shen Sui in her mind.

After all, she came here on his suggestion.

He said he would arrange the next steps once she found her address, but now she was almost rushing into a battle with the Demon God, and he had yet to show up.

Claude should know what sort of character the Demon God is, right? His home in this world was located in the center of the Saint Realm! It was the origin of extraordinary power in this world.

Alice’s call seemed to have worked a bit.

She could clearly feel some movement.

Finally, Claude’s lazy voice reached Alice’s ears.

"What the—?!"

******

"What the—?!" Shen Sui opened the duel and was dumbfounded by the dense text.

Shen Sui and You Wenqi had already figured out Haral’s intent, which was to comprehend and assimilate the rules of the Life Card Duel.

However, they didn’t intend to stop him.

After all, if Haral truly decided to duel them to achieve his understanding and invasion of this world, it would be a good thing.

As long as it’s a duel, even if it gets intensely chaotic, the ultimate casualties would still be between just two people.

But if the enemy opted for a military invasion, even if Shen Sui was confident in defeating Haral, the secondary disasters from the invasion would affect many people.

Shen Sui initially thought of using this opportunity to study Haral’s powers. If the enemy flipped the table, he’d have a tactical advantage information-wise.

However, he hadn’t pondered for long before You Wenqi, looking puzzled, called out to him.

"Your Soul Card is called Alice, right?" You Wenqi asked Shen Sui.

"Yeah."

"Alice Hozerville?"

"Uh? Yeah." Shen Sui scratched his cheek, "Why?"

You Wenqi tugged on Shen Sui’s sleeve: "Be honest, can your Soul Card travel across worlds now?"

"Why are you getting so excited?" Shen Sui asked, puzzled.

You Wenqi’s mouth twitched, pointing at his Dueling Device, "A character named Alice burned down a city."

Initially, Shen Sui thought nothing of it.

But when he heard Alice’s name, a cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"Uh..." Shen Sui wiped his forehead and quickly denied, "That’s impossible, it definitely can’t be my Alice!"

You Wenqi narrowed his eyes.

Shen Sui tilted his head.

I’m not admitting it, and you have no proof.

After a moment of silence, You Wenqi patted his Dueling Device and drew out a card.

"So, this isn’t your Alice?"

Shen Sui looked at the card face.

This was an Event Card named [Shadow City Calamity].

The card’s theme featured a burning dark city.

And in the card’s corner, a blonde, blue-eyed girl was joyfully laughing, with several fireballs still in her hand.

This blonde, blue-eyed girl’s image was exactly like Alice’s.

Damn!

Forgot such major events would be imprinted on cards.

The Alice on this card was indisputable evidence.

Damn it! Why make such realistic card images? What if someone interprets the story behind it?

"Ahem," Shen Sui coughed twice, "There must be some misunderstanding..."

"You have to understand, my Alice did go to Starry’s world." Shen Sui counted on his fingers, "But time-wise, it’s been barely over three days..."

"Three days? That explains it!"

You Wenqi drew another card and displayed it to Shen Sui.

This was a Spell Card named [Commendation Ceremony], and one of the people being commended was none other than Alice.

And the guest handing a medal to Alice looked suspiciously like You Wenqi himself...

Of course, if it was a typical card image, that would be fine, but it happened to capture the moment Alice deliberately tripped You Wenqi.

Feeling You Wenqi’s gaze, Shen Sui awkwardly touched his chin.

"She was just recently commended as one of the heroes who resolved the Shadow City crisis," You Wenqi said, "Her manifest abilities far exceed an ordinary girl. Due to her significant meritorious service during this incident, she was directly promoted to an A-class hero."

Well then, Alice, your skills have really grown!

Shen Sui couldn’t help but marvel at You Wenqi’s account.

Being able to do so much in just three days?

However, questioning him was not You Wenqi’s main reason for finding Shen Sui. In truth, Alice’s destruction of Shadow City wasn’t bad at all; it was quite helpful.

Though astonished that Shen Sui’s Soul Card could travel across worlds, You Wenqi managed to curb his curiosity.

Seriously, he told Shen Sui: "If she really is your Soul Card, Alice, I suggest you check your Dueling Device. She tripped me on purpose during the Commendation Ceremony, stole the Enforcement Bureau’s seal from me, forged a pass with it, and now she’s entered the Saint Realm with her followers."

Pausing, You Wenqi added, "I suppose her destination is the center of the Saint Realm, the Land of Falling Stars. Based on the intelligence I received from the police department’s investigation, the address she provided leads to the Land of Falling Stars, and that villa is extremely dangerous."

Land of Falling Stars...

The home address Alice provided?

"Is it... dangerous there?"

You Wenqi looked deeply at Shen Sui. It seemed this was indeed Shen Sui’s Soul Card. Who knew what Shen Sui planned to do there?

"Of course it’s dangerous. Let’s put it this way," You Wenqi gestured to himself, "Even now, if I tried to enter, I’d be thrashed by a guard and thrown out."

Shen Sui wasn’t worried about Alice encountering danger there, but prompted by You Wenqi’s reminders, he felt he should indeed check on what Alice was up to, so he opened the Dueling Device.

And before his eyes appeared Alice and Vivian planning to go after the Demon God in the starry sky, leading to him saying "What the—" at the beginning.

How did Vivian meet up with Alice?
