My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

The tall man appeared humbly by the Black Emperor’s side.

"Because I paid 8 Soul Points, the effect of Haralz activates, allowing me to randomly obtain an 8-star Life Card from my deck."

As Haral’s words fell, a Life Card had already appeared in his hand.

"Then! Activate the effect of ’The Black Emperor’s Auditor.’" Haral said, "Once per turn, I can reveal a card from my hand to gain Soul Points equal to its star level."

Haral revealed his hand card, an 8-star Follower Card.

"My Soul Points are recovered by 8 points! The effect of Haralz activates again." Haral randomly searched another 8-star Life Card from his deck.

Is there no limit to the number of times Haralz’s effect can be used?

Shen Sui suddenly felt uneasy.

However, when he attempted to see the specific effects of the Life Cards on Haral’s field, he found that they were all shrouded in black mist, rendering the text unreadable.

"Are you trying to see the effects?" Haral sneered coldly, "Being able to see such distant text, you truly are no ordinary person, Shen Sui."

"It’s truly an honor." Shen Sui remained unflustered, "The great Broken Realm Emperor actually remembers my name."

Haral snorted coldly: "Your name, I’ll never forget. It’s your honor."

He could never forget the disgraceful memories of being unable to defeat Shen Sui no matter what.

And such memories must be washed away by a humiliating duel!

Haral raised his hand to liberate the ’Black Emperor’s Auditor’ on the field.

The change in Soul Points from liberation was also a variation in the number of Soul Points, and at that moment, Haralz’s effect activated accordingly, allowing Haral to randomly search for a Life Card from his deck.

Paying Soul Points usually summons a random Life Card of the same star level.

Liberating a Follower gains Soul Points and also retrieves a random Life Card of the same star level.

If the searched Life Cards are Follower Cards of the same star level, Haral can use continuous summoning and liberation to exhaust all 8-star Followers in the deck.

Although visually, it might not be considered particularly striking, the true terror lies in such effects.

The simplicity of card drawing is also a simple strength.

Moreover, during his turn, when Shen Sui uses Soul Points to play a Life Card, he is also helping Haral draw cards from his deck.

This ’Black Emperor Haralz’ must be removed, otherwise, no one knows what Haral might accomplish with such card drawing.

Haral kept drawing Life Cards from his deck through Haralz’s effect, while continuously updating the Followers on his field.

He activated the Followers’ effects, specially summoned new Followers from the deck, and then liberated them to convert to Soul Points, thereby obtaining more Life Cards.

Theoretically, he could exhaust his deck in one turn.

In fact, even without exhausting the deck, just seeing the scene with ten cards in Haral’s hand was already terrifying.

Haral looked at the dwindling deck of Life Cards and then at the overflowing graveyard, ceasing the continuous liberation and searching.

’Black Emperor Haralz’, ’Black Emperor’s Guardians’, ’Marshal of the Black Emperor’, ’Queen of the Black Emperor’.

Reaching this point was enough.

In a future he once experienced, it was precisely because he was too greedy for deck benefits that he allowed Shen Sui to seize the opportunity to drain his deck, thus suffering a duel defeat due to the rules.

Of course, for this reason, I added this card to my deck!

Haral drew a Spell Card from his hand: "Pay 8 Soul Points, and activate the Spell Card ’Black Emperor’s Undead Legion’ from my hand!"

"Return all Follower Cards from the graveyard to the deck." Haral waved open the graveyard, and one by one, Follower Cards flew out and returned to the deck, "If so, summon a ’Black Emperor’s Undead Soldier’ in each empty Follower slot on both fields."

’Black Emperor’s Undead Soldier’, star level 1, Spirit Value 0.

Effect...

Since Haral couldn’t screen Shen Sui’s Life Cards on his field, Shen Sui saw the effect of this card clearly.

This card can’t be destroyed by battle, and its battles cause no battle damage.

But you can only exile a Follower from your graveyard to liberate this Follower.

Seeing this effect, Shen Sui wanted to curse directly.

He didn’t have any Followers in his graveyard, so how could he exile?

Due to the activation of the Spell Card, Haral randomly gained another 8-star Life Card from his deck.

This time, he truly stopped the cycle, instead using Soul Points to cover four Spell Cards on the field.

Due to the presence of special summons, Haral managed to reverse the electricity meter; with the field filled with Life Cards, he even had Soul Points left over.

"My turn ends." Haral finally ended his turn, discarding excess Life Cards from his hand into the graveyard during the end phase.

Shen Sui looked at the foggy field on the other side, his mood heavy.

Clearly, Haral was fully prepared to counter all of his attacks.

Shen Sui glanced at his hand cards.

He quickly switched his deck before the duel, changing from the Starlight Elf God to the Puppet Card Set.

However, it was unknown whether Haral, who had returned from countless future retrospects, had already found a way to defeat the Puppet Card Set.

"My turn! Draw!"

Shen Sui drew a card from his deck, formally announcing the start of his turn.

Haral saw Shen Sui fall into contemplation and laughed heartily: "Come on! Struggle! Let me see how you try to please me."

Shen Sui snorted coldly: "Do you feel you’ve already won?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Haral shook his head, sighed, and said, "It seems you still don’t understand, indeed a mortal. Your future was already destined the moment you stepped into this venue."

Haral raised his hand, a black mist condensed in his palm, and then extinguished in his clenched fist: "This is destiny; your defeat is already fated."

"Oh?" Shen Sui tilted his head in response, "Did you really see the moment of your victory?"

This sentence left Haral momentarily stunned.

In fact, he didn’t see it, as time ran out.

When reality time catches up with his shortest retrospective time point, he inevitably returns to the present and cannot start Time Acceleration again to glimpse the future.

He was infinitely close to victory; however, he had not seen the moment of victory.

"It seems..." Shen Sui keenly grasped Haral’s reaction, "Even if you can see the future, you haven’t seen the scene where you defeat me."

Haral coldly laughed but didn’t respond.

Shen Sui leisurely drew a card from his hand.

"Saying so, I do have a question." Shen Sui’s voice was clear, full of teasing and sardonic undertones, "In that endless cycle of futures, how many times have you actually defeated me?"

Haral’s eyelid twitched.

"It seems you can’t even imagine what it’s like to have defeated me."

"Is that so?" Haral chuckled angrily, "It seems you won’t give up until you see real despair."

With that, he spread his arms: "Then struggle as much as you want; enjoy your future of torment."

"I look forward to it." After saying this, Shen Sui’s expression turned solemn.

He paid Soul Points, activating a card effect from his hand.

"Activate the effect of the Spell Card ’Puppet Creation.’

According to the effect of ’Puppet Creation,’ when Shen Sui uses this card during his turn, he needs to discard a card from his hand to activate it, then search for a ’Puppet’ Follower Card from his deck to add to his hand.

Shen Sui directly discarded ’Magic Apprentice Alice’ from his hand into the graveyard, then searched for the Follower Card ’Substitute Puppet Jamie’ from his deck.

Exiling Alice from the graveyard, Shen Sui liberated an Undead Soldier on the field, using the freed Follower slot to normally summon the Substitute Puppet.

Liberating the Substitute Puppet, sending it to the graveyard, then activating the effect of the Substitute Puppet in the graveyard, exiling it to search Alice from the banished zone back to his hand.

As Shen Sui illuminated Alice in his hand, her countless forms suddenly emerged.
