Chapter 818: Chapter 489: I Summon Myself_2
Keynes lost.
Lost unsurprisingly.
He was never good at dueling; starting this death game was simply to cooperate with Harms in completing the Twilight Saintess’s recovery. The so-called winner challenging him was just giving these people some hope, never truly intending to duel the last person.
However, at this moment, the pain of defeat, even the pain of death, was insignificant to him. He truly wanted to know just one thing.
His eyes stared intensely at Vivian.
"Who exactly are you?" At that moment, his chest was pierced through, his Life Value emptied, and there was clearly no chance of survival.
Nonetheless, although Keynes wasn’t strong in dueling, his will was exceptionally firm.
Growing up in the South American slums, he managed to reach his current position not only with the support of Harms’ Extraordinary power but also with the aid of his own willpower.
Clearly, he wasn’t going to survive, yet he still managed to utter the question he desperately wanted answered.
Meanwhile, his inner self was frantically calling out for Harms.
If the girl in front truly had a connection with the Twilight Saintess, then who exactly was the Twilight Saintess that Harms revived?
A chill of dread washed over him.
Keynes was very clever and knew not to put all his eggs in one basket.
Thus, although he withdrew from the U.S. entirely, he didn’t place all members of the Descent Association on the Saint Yimiti; a few elite members were placed on another ship.
Even if the Saint Yimiti was destroyed, the Descent Association wouldn’t be completely obliterated.
But if the Twilight Saintess summoned by Harms was fake, the entire foundation of the organization would be utterly destroyed!
Harms still hadn’t responded to him.
Vivian also hadn’t answered him.
Keynes felt his life slowly slipping away.
He raised his head, a look of pleading in his eyes, pleading for Vivian to give him a definitive answer.
Keynes died.
At the moment of his death, the shadow enveloping the Saint Yimiti instantly dissipated.
Simultaneously, Keynes’ soul was captured by the array at the bottom of the ship, becoming the final sacrifice to activate the alchemy array at the bottom of the ship.
The alchemy array, triggered once the sacrifices were in place, began with a holy light shooting skyward from the center of the Saint Yimiti.
Thus, following the Twilight anomaly, the world experienced yet another bizarre celestial phenomenon.
"What did you do to the alchemy array?" Shen Sui asked, looking at Vivian curiously.
Vivian gestured: "Just made a small adjustment; from now on, people’s constitutions in this world will improve a bit, and they can withstand various kinds of Extraordinary power."
"Why don’t I feel anything?" Shen Sui said instinctively.
Vivian rolled her eyes: "That’s your problem."
Alright, Shen Sui’s Fool passive resistance not only guards against negative skills and effects, but any positive enhancements he doesn’t understand are also ineffective on him.
On the other side, as Vivian withdrew her power, all members of the Descent Association aboard the ship fell into a coma. For safety reasons, the survivors began searching for tools to tie them up.
Vivian showed no sign of response throughout.
The name of the Descent Association was excellent for stirring trouble and promoting Life Card Duels in the real world, but Vivian had no desire to utilize these people.
A group trying to introduce the super-powerful beings of the Otherworld into the real world to destroy world order was not to her liking.
To this extent, it was difficult for outsiders not to notice the anomaly of the Saint Yimiti. The Exploration Bureaus of various countries began using their satellites to discover the anomaly of the Saint Yimiti.
Before long, rescue ships from various countries arrived.
At that moment, Shen Sui finally realized just how much high-tech various countries had acquired from the Soul Card World of science fiction over the past few years.
To prevent other countries from gaining the upper hand, each country unleashed its hidden technological products, shortening the original several-day journey to just a day to reach the sea area where the Saint Yimiti was located.
"Visit us when you have the chance." Before leaving, Louise invited Shen Sui, sneakily glancing at Vivian and emphasizing, "Cezar is eager for another feeling duel with you."
Shen Sui smiled: "There will be opportunities."
As long as nothing unexpected happens, he’ll likely advance to Eighth Level Life Card Master after returning, and then he’ll inevitably travel to other countries for world competitions.
"No issues, right?" Over here, Wang Ming was in charge of the team.
However, Wang Ming wouldn’t accompany Shen Sui back; he had to remain on the Saint Yimiti for negotiations with representatives from various countries.
Because the final holy light emitted from the Saint Yimiti, this cruise ship became a target for contention by various countries. Being the first worldwide anomaly since the extraordinary invasion began, the source of the anomaly undoubtedly required a thorough investigation.
Though Shen Sui could instantly return home using skills, the unique experience of taking such transportation was refreshing.
However, once the novelty wore off, Shen Sui found the journey somewhat tedious and dull.
After all, this was military equipment, not considering passenger entertainment at all.
"We’ll arrive at Modu Airport soon." Fortunately, noticing Shen Sui’s boredom, a nearby Exploration Bureau staff member remarked with a smile, "How about having dinner first?"
"Whatever..." Actually, if Shen Sui had a choice, he’d prefer waiting to return home for Qishala to make him a late-night snack.
"You can freely choose what to eat." The staff showed him a menu, explaining, "Although compromised for combat, there’s still a dedicated kitchen here, capable of cooking dishes."
"Why would a warship have a kitchen?" Shen Sui couldn’t help but complain, "And can cook..."
"Because food is also part of combat strength if conditions permit." The staff member explained with a smile.
But just as he prepared to introduce dishes to Shen Sui, Shen Sui’s Dueling Device started ringing.
Shen Sui was surprised, feeling puzzled.
Calculating the time, Alice shouldn’t have reached Sun City yet, right?
Why was there a sound indicating an acquisition of a Life Card from the Dueling Device at this moment?
Originally, Shen Sui intended to ignore it. Given Alice’s current stage, acquiring one or two Life Cards indicates nothing significant, requiring no special attention from Shen Sui; he could simply collect the Life Cards online later.
But to Shen Sui’s surprise, the sound indicating the acquisition of Life Cards didn’t stop; it showed no signs of ceasing.
Shen Sui’s first reaction was that something major had happened.
Vivian, who was dozing off nearby, was also awakened by the noise from Shen Sui’s Dueling Device, raising her head from Shen Sui’s shoulder and drowsily looking at him.
The staff, also a Life Card Master, naturally understood the significance of the sound, sensibly departing.
Shen Sui felt a bit anxious.
After all, considering Alice’s level, to acquire Life Cards in such quantity, she must be directly battling gods.
Although Alice would likely survive, Shen Sui couldn’t help but feel worried.
Upon opening the Dueling Device and checking, Shen Sui couldn’t quite maintain his composure.
Goodness, looking at the densely packed text on the Dueling Device, not only Shen Sui but even Alice felt overwhelmed.
Shen Sui completely wrongly accused Alice; she really didn’t stir anything up this time.
She merely had a dream, went online briefly in the Dream World, and then...
[Ding! Your Soul Card acquired a new form: Leonis Lord · Finist]
[Ding! Your Soul Card acquired a new form: Leonis King · Finist]
...
While Alice was offline, Life Card Masters worldwide, with their Soul Cards, directly helped Alice unify the Leonis family, incidentally establishing a kingdom.
You’re playing the Soul Card World as a conquest game?
