Shen Sui pretended to be a bystander, silently listening to the discussion on Fan Bukai's side.
They were speculating about the identity of the female giant.
So said she was an ancient God.
So claid she was a powerful outsider life form.
All these guesses, yet no one imagined the culprit behind it all was rely a seventh-level Mage.
"What happened?" Xinyuan Yingxue had also finished the duel over there and, sensing the odd atmosphere at the gathering, walked over with a hint of curiosity.
Shen Sui quickly briefed Xinyuan Yingxue on the gist of the situation.
Of course, he only shared what he had overheard.
"It seems like each Soul Card World has had a lot of happenings recently." Xinyuan Yingxue was also taken aback.
Indeed, it seed accurate upon reflection.
First, there were various mysterious catastrophes in World No. 1, then the White Dragon cruising incident in World No. 11, followed by rumors of the Suffering Bodhisattva going missing in World No. 8.
Then there was the sandbox event in World No. 5, followed imdiately by the Ghost Shipgirl incident in World No. 33 a few days ago.
Event after event, the Soul Card Worlds have not been peaceful lately, even the ones with ordinary worldviews, resulting in significant drops in stocks and the onset of economic decline.
Even the Soul Card World where Xinyuan Yingxue resided wasn't peaceful — though it was supposed to be an Apocalypse World to begin with.
"It feels like sothing major is going to happen." Xinyuan Yingxue murmured.
"What's going to happen?" Shen Sui didn't see anything significant. "I'm more concerned whether the duel will continue."
"There's probably no mood for a duel right now, right?" Xinyuan Yingxue noted, looking at the worried crowd.
They were all Life Card Masters from World No. 6.
As a relatively mainstream Soul Card World, World No. 6 has a considerable number of Life Card Masters, and this sudden event had so impact on the entire real world.
On Shen Sui's side, due to the principle of Soul Card interaction, the recent release of a new layer of Mirror Stele liberated so Life Cards of the Life Card Masters, rendering his Ti Regulator ineffective.
Fortunately, given the current chaos in World No. 6, everyone just assud that external separation triggered the Soul Card interaction chanism without thinking too much.
Alice was still striving to cast magic.
She felt that quite a few formidable entities seed to have leapt out of the Mirror Stele in front of her.
A myriad of strange lives appeared around Alice.
They cheered for the Savior God, praising the liberation by the Savior God.
Alice found she could understand what these creatures were saying.
She imdiately discerned that their language was similar to what Lingyi frequently spoke.
[You explained to Alice the origins of these spiritual energy life forms.]
["Eh? So, this is Lingyi's hotown?" Alice exclaid in surprise.]
[You nodded.]
["Ah! Haha!" Alice seed very delighted.]
It appeared that Alice quite liked the place.
[Alice giggled, "Then I can tell Lingyi that I burned her house down when I return."]
???
["I'm sure her expression will be interesting." Alice said with a wink, enthusiastically launching a fireball and slamming it onto the Mirror Stele.]
I don't know if her expression will be interesting, but I do know that between you and Lingyi, one of you will fall that day.
[So spiritual energy life forms decided to serve Alice, to repay her for saving the Spiritual Network.]
[Alice readily agreed.]
[Ding! You obtained a Follower Card: Spiritual Life·Data Worm]
[Ding! You obtained a Follower Card: Spiritual Life·Prankster Worm]
....
What followed was a string of Follower Card acquisition notifications.
Shen Sui was stunned as he watched his Dueling Device interface flooded with Life Card acquisition reminders.
And the most awkward part was, he forgot to disable the Life Card acquisition notifications.
So, the Dueling Device's notification sound echoed rhythmically throughout the venue.
Ordinarily, for a Life Card Master, acquiring Life Cards from the Soul Card World is a very routine matter; no one would pay much attention to such notification sounds.
However... this notification sound was relentless, seemingly endless.
Everyone couldn't help but look toward the direction of the sound.
Feeling the gazes upon him, Shen Sui smiled embarrassingly yet politely and said, "My Soul Cards have been rather diligent lately..."
"Oh, co on." Soone retorted, "No matter how diligent, you can't achieve such an efficient Life Card acquisition rate, it should be a glitch with the Dueling Device."
Shen Sui neither denied nor confird it.
Everyone imdiately understood.
If it's a glitch, then it makes sense.
Seeing that no one believed him, Shen Sui didn't argue and instead lowered his head to review Alice's gains.
The Life Cards themselves were secondary; Shen Sui hadn't planned to follow the Spiritual Ability Card Set route. Most of these Spiritual Followers, aside from a portion that might be universally useful, were essentially destined to be warehouse keepers. So non-charismatic followers might be considered by Shen Sui for exchange for so benefits later.
For Shen Sui, the biggest impact of the allegiance of these spiritual energy life forms was that Alice secured a huge batch of combat units.
Although the outermost Mirror Stele doesn't release much high-intensity spiritual life, it's enough for Alice.
In a sense, Alice could even switch careers at this mont to beco a Beast Taming Master or a Summoning Mage, commanding her followers to attack others.
Moreover, as the Mirror Stele continues to release, the intensity of the spiritual life Alice can acquire will also rise accordingly.
This little one sure is lucky.
Shen Sui was even a bit jealous.
What is all this?
I haven't even given her any boosts, yet she's managed to boost herself.
Is there no regard for decency?
[Alice completed the liberation of the last layer of the Mirror Stele within her capabilities; she planned to head back ho.]
[Alice couldn't wait to take back the news that she burned down Lingyi's house.]
Do you really want to get beaten up that badly?
[Alice waved goodbye to the surrounding spiritual life.]
[She activated the Star Abyss White Dragon Scale.]
[Alice was teleported back to the Dawn Continent.]
Wait a minute...
If I rember correctly, Qishala's dragon scale teleportation can only occur between dragon scales.
And the dragon scale with Alice is, in fact, the one in Alice's hand.
Originally, Qishala gave Alice two dragon scales, but now, the other one is in Oshana's hands.
[Oshana, who was bathing, stared blankly at Alice who suddenly appeared in her bathroom.]
[Alice blinked, looking at the water-soaked Oshana.]
This is really awkward.
[Alice looked at Oshana and exclaid, "Wow! Oshana! You're so fair-skinned!"]
[Oshana hesitated for a long while, then cautiously said, "How about joining ?"]
["Sure!" Alice agreed without any hesitation.]
Shen Sui covered his forehead.
Does Alice have no sense of boundaries?
Just as Shen Sui was having a headache, Wang Ming walked over with a peculiar expression.
"Is your Soul Card still in World No. 1?" Wang Ming whispered.
"Yes."
"What's she doing?" Wang Ming cautiously further confird.
Shen Sui's mouth twitched slightly and said, "If I didn't see it wrong, she should be bathing with a girl."
For a mont, Wang Ming didn't know how to respond to Shen Sui's words.
Fortunately, Shen Sui kindly continued the topic with a rhetorical question: "What's wrong?"
Wang Ming took out his phone, and on it was a sketch of a woman surrounded by many small living beings, appearing to be dancing.
"This is an image our sketch artist created based on a lot of oral accounts from the Life Card Masters of the Soul Card World No. 6 about the perpetrator of this major event in World No. 6."
Shen Sui glanced at the picture: "Oh, and then?"
"Can't you see it?" Wang Ming pointed at the woman on the sketch and said, "She looks a lot like your Soul Card."
The Exploration Bureau's sketch artist was very professional, managing to recreate Alice's look at the ti through extensive verbal descriptions.
"Oh...." Shen Sui touched his chin and didn't plan to deny it, "Maybe it's my Alice."
Shen Sui didn't bother to hide anything; after all, once this spiritual form appeared, it was obvious enough.
"Forget it." Wang Ming rolled his eyes, put his phone away, and said, "Your Soul Card is only at the seventh stage at best, could it really have done this? Besides, this is a matter of World No. 6, it shouldn't be related to your Soul Card."
Seeing the other party's disbelief, Shen Sui played along and said, "Yeah! You've figured it all out, so why are you even bothering about it?"
Wang Ming said, "I'm just here to remind you, it would be best to pay more attention to the developnts in Soul Card World No. 6 in the future, if this ultimately proves to be a disaster, you should be aware that those Life Card Masters of Soul Card World No. 6 might extend their anger towards you."
This sounded just like an excuse for Wang Ming to engage in idle talk; he seed like he was just there to probe Shen Sui.
Shen Sui didn't expose this and happily agreed.
Over on the Soul Card World side, Alice and Oshana finished their bath together.
Through Alice's explanation, Oshana finally sowhat understood Alice's situation.
["Aren't you leaving yet?" Alice noticed that the Daylight Church's camp was still outside Elm City; surprisingly well-hidden, the Twilight Legion hadn't discovered it.]
[Oshana, without any concealnt, replied, "Isn't it all because of what you did? Lady Saintess thinks that the Divine Sword shouldn't be handed over to the Master of Thunder so easily and plans to teach the Thunder Church a lesson. If possible, reclaiming the Divine Sword isn't off the table."]
[For her role in Alice's church play, Oshana had even broken her beloved shield, so naturally, she didn't want Alice's plan to be ruined: "This should affect you, right? I've been trying my best to persuade her..."]
["Getting attacked naturally ans retaliation!" Alice, however, was fully supportive, "This aligns with the Daylight Church's nature, right? Being timid, how can one be a good Daylight Believer!"]
[Oshana squinted her eyes, questioning Alice's true intentions.]
[Alice elaborated on her plan.]
["Won't this cause a war between the two sides..." Oshana said with so concern.]
["Heh heh heh, no worries." Alice grinned, "The Master of Thunder surely doesn't want to face both Daylight and War God at the sa ti."]
