My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

According to the effect, You Wenqi retrieved Pisces and Aquarius from the graveyard, then sent Aries and Leo from the deck to the graveyard.

"Activating the effect of [Starry Zodiac God: Leo] sent to the graveyard," You Wenqi’s gaze instantly sharpened, "When it enters the graveyard, it can activate an [Event Card] from my deck."

"I choose to activate the Event Card [End of the Zodiac] from my deck."

An Event Card?

While Shen Sui was in a daze, the Starry Sky had already appeared in the duel field.

The star map representing the Zodiac began to change rapidly, twisting, deforming, even destroying.

What effect does this Event Card have...

Everything happened too fast, Shen Sui didn’t have time to see the effect.

If it blocks his right to use Spell Cards, then this duel will truly be doomed.

Fortunately, Shen Sui’s Spell Card passed without any obstruction.

Now You Wenqi’s backfield has been cleared, and there is no response from his hand traps. Next, it’s up to his calculations.

Shen Sui quickly calculated in his mind.

The result was an unexpected gain.

The conditions that were previously unattainable now perfectly aligned due to the effect of [Star Curse].

Shen Sui uncovered a set card, beginning to search for [Miracle Four-Color Flower] and its remaining petals according to the deck’s original strategy.

You Wenqi watched Shen Sui’s dazzling array of searches, occasionally interjecting.

It turned out, the effect of [End of the Zodiac] was not complicated, when one side retrieves a Life Card from the deck or graveyard, the other side can simultaneously retrieve a Life Card of the same type from their deck.

This fits the commonality of Event Cards, with effects that apply to both parties.

Although Shen Sui felt that if this was the only effect, it seemed to fall short of the Event Card’s imposing name, considering his deck didn’t contain any Event Cards to counter it. Moreover, since the nature of an Event Card means it cannot be targeted once activated, Shen Sui opted not to worry about it.

However, You Wenqi’s continuous retrieval of fifteen-star Follower Cards still made Shen Sui uneasy.

Damn it, what exactly is this guy trying to do?

Shen Sui muttered in his heart.

But at this point, he dared not stop.

After all, once this turn ends and it becomes You Wenqi’s turn, who knows what outrageous maneuvers You Wenqi, with a hand full of fifteen-star Follower Cards, might pull off.

Fortunately...

Shen Sui drew a Spell Card from his hand.

In this duel, he has the capability to end it in this turn!

With the activation of the previous Spell Card, Shen Sui’s Soul Points had already dropped to 0.

"In Main Phase, when my Soul Points are 0." Shen Sui played the card from his hand, "I can activate the effect of the Spell Card [Soliciting Bribes] from my hand."

Shen Sui’s target was directly pointed at You Wenqi: "Let the opponent choose three Life Cards from the graveyard or deck to add to their hand, release one Follower on the field, and let me recover Soul Points equal to the level of the released Follower."

The effect of [Soliciting Bribes] cannot be chained by other card effects. Regardless of how many cards You Wenqi retrieves from the deck using [End of the Zodiac], he can only watch as this card is activated.

However, the activation condition of Soliciting Bribes requiring the Soul Points to be zero is very testing on hand quality and Soul Point calculation, not to mention the cost of allowing an opponent to freely retrieve three Life Cards from the graveyard or deck is significant.

Activating this card means Shen Sui has no way out and must end this duel within this turn.

You Wenqi already has nearly ten cards in hand, and if he sees correctly, the majority are Starry Zodiac Gods.

This guy has indeed assembled the Zodiac.

You Wenqi has two Followers on the field in total.

No matter if he releases Gemini or Heaven-Devouring Dog, he won’t be able to stop me from retrieving [White Petal].

You Wenqi searched Leo and Aries from the graveyard to his hand, then fell into long contemplation.

It’s obvious, since Shen Sui activated [Soliciting Bribes], he naturally has corresponding means.

The opponent’s intention to end the duel this turn is too obvious.

You Wenqi, after much consideration, surprisingly released Gemini.

This implies that the [White Petal] stacked on Gemini also returned to Shen Sui’s graveyard due to Gemini’s departure.

It’s clear that Shen Sui already has the [Miracle Four-Color Flower] and the remaining three petals in his hand.

Now, as long as Shen Sui finds a way to retrieve the [White Petal] from the graveyard, it means his special victory condition has been achieved.

What is You Wenqi trying to do?

Shen Sui immediately started to imagine wildly.

Was it because he knew I already had a way to deal with Gemini and realized blocking was pointless, so he gave up?

No, perhaps others might, but You Wenqi surely isn’t of that disposition.

A true duelist will not give up hope, even at the last moment.

But at this point, Shen Sui also couldn’t turn back.

And at this time, You Wenqi activated the effect of a Follower Card from his hand.

According to the effect of [Zodiac Traveling Star: Lion], You Wenqi retrieved Gemini that had just entered the graveyard back to his hand.
