Chapter 1022 - 582: You Should Use New Cards for a Duel! (Part 2)
Otherwise, if Shen Sui possessed such power, to ensure his own safety and strength, he would definitely keep the power switch on at all times.
Of course, there’s also the possibility that this reversal requires a switch, and the most common reverse switch is death.
Interesting.
Shen Sui’s lips slightly curved upwards.
Such power usually appears on the protagonist. Shen Sui’s perspective often follows the protagonist’s as they continuously reverse time to remedy regrets. Standing on the opposite side of someone with this ability, this experience is a first for him.
But from the results, Shen Sui didn’t feel anything.
Of course, to say he felt nothing at all wouldn’t be accurate. With Vivian’s reminder, Shen Sui noticed Haral seemed never to direct his gaze towards him, as if one look would cause an explosion.
Interesting, interesting.
I wonder what it would be like to duel against such an opponent.
However, what Shen Sui is certain about is that with Haral’s continuous accumulation of reversals, real time has objectively progressed and gradually reached the finals of this competition.
After the finals, Shen Sui would have to take action against Haral.
Shen Sui seemed to already feel the change in the flow of time around him.
He looked up, joyfully gazing at the eye on the dome.
Haral, your time is up.
You Wenqi noticed Shen Sui’s expression and couldn’t help but be puzzled.
Did this guy figure something out?
But what’s with this expression?
Muttering in his heart.
But for now, he didn’t have time to focus on these matters.
Although the Boundary Breaker had been completely killed by Alice, its remains, having fallen from the starry sky, caused quite a bit of trouble in the Starry World temporarily.
When Shen Sui came to his senses and looked at You Wenqi, he was already dealing with matters on the ground of the Starry World.
If the information Alice brought was correct, You Wenqi’s position in the Starry World seemed to be that of the Director of the Executive Bureau, the world’s strongest hero.
He activated the Dueling Device and opened the card library.
Shen Sui looked at the twenty-four Starlight Elf Gods lying in the card library.
If he constructed a deck with these Follower Cards to duel with You Wenqi, he wondered what would happen?
The Starlight Elf Gods Shen Sui held now were actually in a weakened state after a thousand years, with the most essential power core parts having escaped, becoming the sealed Starry God series by You Wenqi.
The Starlight Elf Gods in his hand had lost their divinity, though they possessed complete souls and memories, they lost their main power, dropping to twelve tiers from fifteen.
But this thought was quickly dismissed from Shen Sui’s mind.
It wasn’t to spare You Wenqi’s feelings.
It was simply because the risk was too high.
You Wenqi isn’t any ordinary opponent. Using an untested deck to duel with him might create unexpected effects, but if he lost, Shen Sui would be grief-stricken. There might even be a feeling of being embarrassed for showing off.
...
...
But I want to show off!
Alright, actually, that’s secondary. The main reason is that after gaining new cards, and a whole set at that, not using them in an exciting duel immediately would be too tempting for Shen Sui to resist.
Fortunately, there was a duel with You Wenqi right in front of him.
Shen Sui hesitated, but ultimately couldn’t resist the urge in his heart to "try the new deck."
Of course, Shen Sui didn’t switch decks randomly. As long as there was a guaranteed combo engine in the newly constructed deck to safeguard victory for the duel.
Everyone knows switching decks mid-duel is the most common operation for a duelist.
Moreover, the finals are best two out of three, losing one game means he can switch to a different deck anyway.
Shen Sui started constructing a new deck, while You Wenqi was busy dealing with matters, leaving the whole venue in long silence.
El Lado gradually felt the atmosphere wasn’t right.
He keenly sensed Haral’s emotions seemed to be heading towards loss of control.
Though he had no intention to speculate on the mood of an Upper God, Haral’s emotions had already reached an unrestrained point, making it impossible for him to ignore.
Fury, confusion...
El Lado found it hard to describe the emotions Haral was displaying.
At this moment, this deity from an Exotic Realm, once high above, became a mere mortal, faced with a destiny that couldn’t be overcome in a lifetime.
This discovery caused El Lado’s worldview to collapse somewhat.
What on earth did Lord Haral encounter to have such a vast psychological upheaval?
But soon, he no longer had questions.
Feeling someone spying on him, Haral opened his eyes, and that supreme gaze almost instantly killed El Lado’s spirit.
And while El Lado suffered for just taking a look, Shen Sui was joyfully constructing his deck.
It must be said, getting new cards to construct a deck was one of his happiest moments.
As for the most joyful moment, it would be executing the combos and strategies he envisioned in a duel. Never mind how clunky this combo might be, when it came together in an actual duel, Shen Sui could relish it for a whole day! Even if he lost the duel, it didn’t matter.
Because of the star descent, the twenty-four Starlight Elf Gods in Shen Sui’s hand were more broadly applicable than You Wenqi’s Starry Gods.
You Wenqi couldn’t cram all the Starry Gods into his deck as that would cause massive clunkiness, as fifteen-star cards aren’t just casually summoned.
But the Starlight Elf Gods are different. They weren’t forcibly sealed by Shen Sui; they inherently belonged to him, so after becoming cards, their effects fit closely with Shen Sui’s positioning for them. Plus, with his ability to subtly modify effects, Shen Sui could incorporate all the Starlight Elf Gods into one deck.
However, after placing the twenty-four Starlight Elf Gods in the deck, choosing the remaining Life Cards was a matter of trade-offs.
Luckily for Shen Sui, making such trade-offs wasn’t difficult.
In deck construction, the biggest taboo is wanting everything. Doing so might result in a hodgepodge trash deck, so Shen Sui quickly constructed an entire deck with the Starlight Elf God at its core.
You Wenqi soon finished handling matters in the Soul Card World and, seeing Shen Sui already constructing a tournament deck, naturally kept pace.
Even though by now, results and honor were secondary, how to defeat Haral and protect the whole world was what the two most needed to focus on.
But this did not mean they should both give up the championship right before their eyes.
The opportunity to duel Haral might come only once, and it should be carried out by the stronger one in this pressure-laden duel.
Even if he lost in the end, he wanted to see Shen Sui’s ability to defeat Haral.
Looking at the two people on the ground, Haral’s spirit had already descended into a form of madness.
times.
This number was the number of times he’d reversed time.
Initially, he thought it was due to the Life Card Duel.
Later, he understood it was the gap between them.
So he chose to actively interfere in the duel between the two, wanting the man named You Wenqi to duel him—and then he died.
The young man named Shen Sui, like swatting a fly, snuffed out his eye.
In the subsequent dozens of reversals, he constantly tried, even breaking the rules to kill them through real combat.
But he desperately found that after using Extraordinary Power, he lost faster and more bitterly.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
How could a human possess such immense power!
Even if it was just the power of one eye, it should be a height that no human could reach even after a lifetime!
In the final few reversals, Haral was even driven to a point of reckless desperation.
I need to descend completely! To crush him like an ant!
And then...he died.
In those futures, he didn’t even see the opponent make a move. The despicable bug took the opportunity of him being momentarily bound by this world to swallow him whole from behind.
Antipus!
So you were nearby all along!
