My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

The power of the Starry Night?

Haral suddenly recalled the force that had sealed his left eye and hand.

Brilliant starlight had unknowingly surrounded him.

The starlight joined together, forming an array perfectly covering his body.

Haral sensed danger, but no matter how he exerted his power, it was as if it vanished into thin air before the array.

Gradually, Haral even lost the ability to move.

Shen Sui slowly walked up to Haral, scanning the eye with a playful gaze: "You know, this eye of yours will become one of my Life Cards, and who knows, it might fight for me in the future~!"

Haral widened his eye, staring hard at Shen Sui.

He knew very well that he was about to lose his last eye, and he had to remember the face of the person before him.

In the years to come, he must kill this person!

"Ah, you look quite angry." Shen Sui raised a hand and touched Haral’s gigantic eyeball, "No need to be so upset; you’ll become my card sooner or later."

Excitement and joy were evident on his face.

As if he already regarded Haral as his possession.

"Tsk, this pose isn’t flattering; let’s change it." Shen Sui waved a hand, and Haral felt his eye spin wildly.

What is this?

Not only defiling the young lady but also manipulating her body at will?

Shen Sui acted like a bully, toying freely with the beautiful girl he had captured.

In fact, it was indeed so; whether a card looks good is key to its collectible value.

If it weren’t for imprinting Haral’s eye onto a card, Shen Sui wouldn’t have wasted so much time simulating the power of the Starry Night, giving Haral so much time to talk nonsense.

Haral, in his complete form, might warrant attention.

But just an eye was a mere trifle.

Killing a person is far easier than sealing them away.

"I will kill you! I definitely will!" Haral said furiously.

Upon hearing this, Shen Sui shook his head and said, "How can you speak like that? Talking like that lacks sophistication."

Saying this, Shen Sui pointed at the giant eye in front of him: "Remember to take some cultural courses afterward to elevate your own taste; this way, my card set will seem more valuable."

The next second, the power of the Starry Night surged, and the aura of the Star Night Seal reappeared.

Haral lost his view of the world, and his eye was thoroughly taken away.

With the operation of the Star Night Seal, a card descended from the sky, landing steadily in Shen Sui’s hand.

However, although Shen Sui had promptly stopped Haral’s power from being released, the residual storm of power still blew off the entire venue’s roof.

Seeing the clear, cloudless sky, Shen Sui couldn’t help but squint.

"It’s settled?" You Wenqi’s voice came from behind Shen Sui.

Shen Sui turned to see You Wenqi standing there with arms crossed.

"I thought you had transformed," Shen Sui quipped, seeing You Wenqi, "When I was dueling inside, I distinctly heard that embarrassing transformation sound effect."

You Wenqi’s mouth twitched, unwilling to dignify Shen Sui’s comment with a response.

"Anyway, it’s settled." Shen Sui shook the Life Card in his hand, "Though it was a bit frustrating to be hit, the outcome is good in the end."

I must admit, dueling against someone with future sight is indeed a headache; all my strategies were known to the opponent, making the duel feel too constrained.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pitch-black cards drifted down from the sky.

These were the Life Cards from Haral’s deck.

But unfortunately, when Shen Sui tried to catch them with his hand, he found these Life Cards had already turned into black smoke and disappeared in the air during their descent.

Evidently, the consciousness of the world didn’t permit the existence of these Life Cards.

It’s understandable; though the deck was specifically imprinted by Haral to target Shen Sui, many of the cards’ strength was indeed ridiculously high.

Since they weren’t true Life Cards, their complete dissipation wasn’t really an issue.

Shen Sui felt a slight regret; transforming the deck might have made for a pretty good entertainment deck.

Looking around the venue, Shen Sui asked, "What about these people?"

"All handled," You Wenqi spread his hands, saying, "Not sure why they always think card players can’t fight."

Just then, Zhang Fang entered with others.

The members of the Exploration Bureau expertly cuffed the people knocked unconscious by You Wenqi, and it’s likely there would be a lengthy interrogation afterward.

The Valhalla organization is a long-standing mysterious organization worldwide, connected with noble families in various countries, clearly requiring investigation into their ties with the Broken Boundary Creatures.

"Congratulations," Zhang Fang approached Shen Sui, smiling, "newly crowned world champion."

"Come on, this world champion, aside from those present, how many even know about it?" Shen Sui spread his arms, saying.

"Rest assured, post-event publicity won’t be lacking," Zhang Fang assured him, "You will become the most meaningful world champion in history."

Zhang Fang said this, looking up at the clear blue sky, "After all, you killed a world-destroying monster in a duel with your own hands. The publicity value alone is invaluable."

"So... will there be a prize?"

Zhang Fang paused at Shen Sui’s question and asked, puzzled, "You’re still short on money?"

"Not at all," Shen Sui shrugged, "But if there’s no payment, wouldn’t it just be volunteer work?"

"..."

"Can’t set such a bad precedent," Shen Sui chided.

If saving the world doesn’t warrant fitting recognition, it will dishearten the Life Card Masters.

Some rewards, I can choose not to want based on my conscience, but you absolutely can’t leave them out.

Zhang Fang nodded, "That’s true. Heroes can’t be undervalued; I’ll apply for it on your behalf and ensure you receive a satisfactory reward."

"It’s a pity, though, that your duel wasn’t recorded due to interference from the extraordinary power," Zhang Fang sighed.

Shen Sui awkwardly looked aside.

Recorded?

Let everyone see me imprinting cards on the spot?

Alice indeed provided me a new form, but conjuring a previously non-existent form during a duel and defeating the opponent with it is truly outrageous.

Come to think of it, similar things have likely happened many times with Alice.

After all, discovering new forms unlocked on the dueling device after a duel with Alice has occurred quite a few times.

Due to the sheer number of Alice’s forms, Shen Sui seldom noticed during form transformations, missing the underlying mechanism.

If not for Haral disabling all of Alice’s forms, Shen Sui might not have realized Alice had introduced a new form.

Speaking of which...

What has that little girl Alice done now? How did a new form appear out of nowhere?

With the dissipation of Haral’s domain, the Life Card Masters waiting outside came in.

Everyone was utterly astonished upon seeing the conditions inside the venue.

This place, like it had been ravaged by countless storms, left them wondering how Shen Sui and You Wenqi even managed to duel here.

While those people marveled, Shen Sui waved goodbye to Zhang Fang and turned to leave.

He needed to return to his temporary residence to inquire about Vivian and what was happening with Alice.

However, before Shen Sui could make it back, he checked his dueling device:

[Ding! Your Soul Card has acquired a new form: Fairy Tale Queen Alice]

"..."

Alice, your efficiency...
