My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

When Shen Sui activated the effect to draw nine cards, You Wenqi knew that the control of this game had gone too far.

After all, when you pin all your hopes on your opponent having bad luck and not drawing any key cards from nine cards, it means you have no way to handle the current situation yourself.

These are nine cards, almost a quarter of the deck drawn at once; if Shen Sui cannot draw a key card from this, it can only mean there’s a major problem in Shen Sui’s deck build.

You Wenqi did not believe Shen Sui would make such a big mistake in his deck build.

"Activate the effect of [Starlight Elf God: Dream Serpent God]." Shen Sui chose to activate the Snake God’s effect, "Once per turn, select a Follower from my graveyard and Special Summon it to the field. Followers Special Summoned this way lose all effects."

Saying this, Shen Sui opened the graveyard and took out Alice.

Since it is a Special Summon without specifying a form or explaining the form, it defaults to appearing in its original form.

Thus, the original Alice appeared under the effect of the Dream Serpent God.

However, the limit on form transformations of the Soul Card does not reset upon release and revival; the number of form transformations through rules for Alice has already been used this turn.

Shen Sui could not possibly summon Alice out for no reason.

Although the rules’ form transformation has been exhausted, Shen Sui has other card effects for reinforcement.

Unfortunately, among the nine cards this time, Shen Sui did not draw cards like [Disguised Infiltration] or [Thousand Transformations], but he drew Martina.

"Release [Starlight Elf God: Dream Serpent God]." Shen Sui released the Snake God that had used its effect, converting it into Soul Points.

Then he spent Soul Points to Normal Summon Martina.

Subsequently, Martina’s effect was activated. By releasing herself and sending her to the graveyard, Shen Sui could choose a Spell Card from the deck and send it to the graveyard, treating it as activating the effect of that card.

"I choose to send [Illusion Disguise] from the deck to the graveyard." Shen Sui pointed at Alice on his field, "This allows one of my field’s multi-form Followers to undergo a Form Transformation. The selected Follower will be destroyed at the end of the turn."

Alice’s form expanded once again.

Shen Sui already had a target in mind and quickly selected the form to transform into.

"Come forth!" At Shen Sui’s call, Alice made a Shining Debut in her new form.

[Tomb Raider Alice].

This form was achieved by Alice at the ninth rank, appearing alongside [Destroyer of the Earth Alice].

Although this form’s opportunity arose from Alice digging up the graves of Shen Sui and Vivian, one has to admit these two forms are both table-flipping levels.

When [Destroyer of the Earth Alice] appears via Form Transformation, all cards on the opponent’s field are destroyed.

While [Tomb Raider Alice] returns all cards in both graveyards to the deck upon appearing via Form Transformation.

The former flips your field, the latter flips your graveyard, completing a full-cycle service.

What? You say the Dream Serpent God negated Alice’s effects?

She negated the effects of Magic Apprentice Alice, what does that have to do with my Tomb Raider Alice?

You Wenqi might not know what effect this newly appeared form of Alice has, but just hearing the name, he knew it was definitely targeting his graveyard.

Although he didn’t know the specific effect, if the Dream Snake was really driven out of the graveyard by Alice, he would die under Qishala’s infinite combo.

He decisively chose to open the graveyard before Shen Sui could activate Alice’s effect.

"When you activate a card effect, activate the effect of [Zodiac Traveling Star - Aquarius] in the graveyard."

Like many of Shen Sui’s trap cards, You Wenqi’s Aquarius also has an effect for the graveyard besides its trap effect.

However, although You Wenqi’s Life Cards were many, without the ability like Shen Sui’s to fine-tune effects, the effects sometimes weren’t ideal.

The grave effect of Aquarius was just like that.

"According to the effect of [Zodiac Traveling Star - Aquarius], I can pay half my Life Value to Special Summon a Follower from my graveyard to the field." You Wenqi naturally chose the [Starry Zodiac God: Dream Snake] in his graveyard to Special Summon.

Accompanied by the mist of dreams, the snow-white snake body appeared in the fog.

Born from the Dream Serpent God, the Dream Snake appeared in the mist of Special Summon.

You Wenqi took a deep breath and told Shen Sui about the negative effect of this special summon with Aquarius.

If it weren’t for the subsequent negative impacts, You Wenqi would have willingly used the grave effect of [Zodiac Traveling Star - Aquarius].

"If the star level of the Follower I Special Summon this way is higher than 10, I skip my next three draw phases. If the star level of the Follower I Special Summon this way is higher than 14, I skip my next three battle phases."

These two negative effects can stack.

This means that for the next three turns, You Wenqi needs to rely on the Dream Snake for a series of developments.

And he also has to gamble that Shen Sui doesn’t have a means to eliminate the Dream Snake.

Seeing You Wenqi forcibly summon Dream Snake from the graveyard, Shen Sui could only sigh. With this, even if Alice flips through both graveyards, he wouldn’t be able to end this duel before dealing with Dream Snake.
