Chapter 898 - 527: Shen Sui Makes a Move, the Opponent Concedes Half
Looking at the Life Card in his hand, Shen Sui was exceptionally excited now.An unprepared and totally unexpected duel actually suited Shen Sui’s taste quite well.
Of course, liking it is one thing, but if there’s a way to find out information about the opponent and you don’t bother to learn it before the duel, Shen Sui wouldn’t intentionally lower his intelligence level and create difficulties for himself.
"I’ll go first."
Shen Sui drew a card from his hand.
"Pay Soul Points to Normal Summon from my hand, [Pure White Holy Steed Golden Ship]."
Maybe it was because it hadn’t appeared on Shen Sui’s battlefield for so long that the Golden Ship couldn’t wait and appeared in Shen Sui’s starting hand. Shen Sui didn’t hesitate to start with the classic Golden Ship opening.
"Activate the effect of the Golden Ship, draw a card from my deck." Shen Sui drew a card and showed it. Since he drew a card that was not Alice, according to the effect, he Special Summoned [Magic Apprentice Alice] from his deck.
Immediately after, he paid 5 Soul Points to transform Alice on the field into the 5-star form [Ghost Cold Flame Alice].
Then, because Alice transformed, the effect of the Golden Ship activated, allowing Shen Sui to Special Summon a 5-star Follower from his deck.
Accompanied by the light of the summoning, [Cursed Puppet Natasha] was brought onto the stage.
This time, Shen Sui was using the Puppet Card Set for the duel.
After all, it was the Promotion Tournament to the eighth tier, so Shen Sui naturally had to use the most reliable card set.
Actually, both the Puppet Card Set and the Spiritual Ability Card Set could handle this task.
Shen Sui ultimately chose the Puppet Card Set.
Because all the Follower Cards in the Puppet Card Set are various beautiful cards of young girls.
Alice had certain obsessions. Even if it looked like a one-time consumable Self-destructive Puppet, she made it look like a little loli.
In her words, cute lolis can lower the enemy’s guard against the Self-destructive Puppet, causing significant casualties in every meaningful sense.
However, for some reason, Alice had some of the Self-destructive Puppets dressed and styled in a more neutral manner, with short hair parted in the middle, at first glance looking like a cute little boy. She called them "Special Self-destructive Puppets for Priests."
After completing the special summon of the Cursed Puppet, Shen Sui pointed to Alice on the field: "Activate [Ghost Cold Flame Alice]’s effect, once per turn, pay 2000 Life Points to activate, discard one card from the opponent’s hand. If the discarded Life Card is a Spell Card, both players discard one card."
As the effect of [Ghost Cold Flame Alice] activated, Shen Sui’s Life Value dropped from 6000 to 4000, and then he pointed to his opponent and discarded a card from their hand.
Spell Card: [Heaven’s Will Iaido].
Thus, the second half of Alice’s effect entered the execution stage.
Shen Sui directly discarded [Substitute Puppet Jamie] from his hand to the graveyard, then discarded another card from his opponent’s hand.
"Release the [Cursed Puppet Natasha] on my field." Shen Sui raised his hand to release Natasha on the field, then started to process the effects from the graveyard.
Shen Sui first activated the effect of [Substitute Puppet Jamie] in the graveyard, removing it from play to add [Mermaid Guardian God Martina] from the deck to the hand.
Because a card effect from the graveyard was activated, the effect of Alice’s form [Death Apostle Alice] was triggered, and Shen Sui transformed Alice on the field into [Death Apostle Alice].
With Alice’s transformation, the effect of the Golden Ship also activated, allowing Shen Sui to Special Summon a Follower from the deck with a star level equal to [Death Apostle Alice].
Shen Sui chose to Special Summon [Liquid Bomb Puppet Barbara] from the deck.
"Activate the effect of [Liquid Bomb Puppet Barbara], which can be used once per duel. I can reveal a [Puppet] Follower card from my deck, and until the end of the duel, Barbara gains the revealed Follower’s effects." As Shen Sui spoke, he flipped open his deck.
Reveal: [Armed Puppet Soya].
In this way, until the duel ends, Barbara will have the same effects as [Armed Puppet Soya].
"Activate the effect of [Death Apostle Alice] on my field, once per turn, selecting a graveyard to activate, returning up to three Life Cards from that graveyard to the deck, and then I regain Soul Points equal to the total star level of those Life Cards."
Shen Sui chose two cards from the opponent’s graveyard to return to their owner’s deck, then recovered 12 Soul Points.
With that, there were enough Soul Points to summon Martina.
"Pay 14 Soul Points." Shen Sui revealed Martina in his hand, "Special Summon [Mermaid Guardian God Martina] from my hand to the field."
Martina appeared on Shen Sui’s field, yawning and looking bleary-eyed.
The blue fish tail slapped the surface of the sea, creating a bubble that wouldn’t come into contact with the outside world.
Shen Sui knew that Martina didn’t like this kind of exposure, so he didn’t hesitate to activate Martina’s effect, releasing her and sending her to the graveyard.
In this way, Shen Sui could select a Spell Card from his deck to send to the graveyard, and then apply that Spell Card’s effect as if it were sent there.
Shen Sui opened his deck and selected a Spell Card: "I choose to send the Spell Card [Thousand Transformations] to the graveyard."
