Alice’s forms are just too many; even Vivian couldn’t factor in every single one. The Red Lotus Fire form, Shen Sui hadn’t formally activated her effect for a long ti. Even when appearing in a duel, it was more for the transition to trigger the Golden Ship’s effect.
When Shen Sui pulled out [Red Lotus Fire: Alice], Vivian knew that he was ready to kill; he was no longer satisfied with just dismantling the Chaos Body.
He absolutely wouldn’t allow himself to gain the first-move advantage again.
The suppression from the Spirit-Devouring Storm made Shen Sui very uncomfortable, and after it ended, Vivian could use the explosive potential and Liberation Fee of the [Fantasy Beast] deck to suppress Shen Sui again, possibly even achieving victory in the duel.
Vivian had actually used a similar tactic in tournants before, only that she hadn’t drawn upon the [Beast Taming Calamity: Spirit-Devouring Storm] at that ti.
And the addition of this Event Card made Vivian’s strategy even more aggressive, but encountering a deck like Shen Sui’s, which could unfold through effects to bypass the Soul Points restriction, she couldn’t achieve the complete suppression she intended.
She absolutely could not let Shen Sui succeed.
Once Vivian understood Shen Sui’s strategy, she promptly made her decision.
With Ma Liang’s Brush and War Frenzy discarding all hand cards to the graveyard, Vivian couldn’t finely prepare, resulting in having no counterasure in her graveyard for the Red Lotus Fire.
However, she could adequately protect the Chaos Body’s grave effect.
Besides! I’m absolutely not going to let you activate the Red Lotus Fire’s effect!
"At this mont!" Vivian decisively opened her graveyard, "Activate the effect of [Fantasy Beast: Recovery Wind] in the graveyard! Once per turn, I can banish it from the graveyard to let a Life Card Master recover 2000 Life Points!"
Vivian pointed at Shen Sui and said, "I won’t give you any opportunity to kill ! This effect isn’t only for ; I can choose you as the target for recovering Life Points!"
Giving Shen Sui 2000 Life Points seed like a losing trade.
But Vivian knew clearly that with her graveyard resources, after the Phantom Spirit Dragon Chaos Body went berserk next turn, a re 2000 Life Points would only take one strike.
Vivian’s current Life Value is 3800, while Shen Sui’s original is 600, eting the condition for activating Red Lotus Fire’s effect, but after Vivian added 2000 Life Points to Shen Sui, 2600 compared to 3800, it still left Shen Sui with a lower Life Value, yet it no longer t the activation condition.
"An Wei actually chose to restore Shen Sui’s Life Points? Why would she do that?" Jian Jia was greatly surprised.
Tan Song promptly added a description of [Red Lotus Fire: Alice]’s effect.
"I rember this card," Jian Jia imdiately said, showcasing her diligence, "Its first appearance seed to be during Shen Sui’s Ranking Tournant."
"So it had reached the kill threshold," Canglan covered for her colleague, as that shout just now was indeed due to her lack of understanding of Red Lotus Fire’s effect, "An Wei’s quick response is impressive, having clearly researched and analyzed Shen Sui thoroughly before the match; otherwise, she would have suffered here."
Seeing Vivian adding Life Points to him, Shen Sui smiled and said, "You’re quite nice."
Vivian blinked at Shen Sui and said, "Aren’t you going to thank ?"
"Thank you," Shen Sui showed the card he just drew, "But I am not one to owe people. Since you restored my Life Points, I’ll add so for you too!"
"I always repay double! So here, take these 7000 Life Points!" Shen Sui shouted, "Activate the effect of [Heart of the Holy Mother]! This card doesn’t require a cost to activate! It lets my opponent recover 7000 Life Points!"
A holy mother’s glow descended on Vivian’s head, instantly raising her Life Points from 3800 to 10800.
If Tan Song hadn’t told the audience about the effect of [Red Lotus Fire: Alice], everyone would think this was a couple showing PDA, as they restored each other’s Life Points—a situation sure to sadden the singles.
The key was, the looks in their eyes truly showed various interactions while activating these effects.
Quite a CP vibe, don’t you think?!
"Ignoring the follower effects, this is indeed a rather loving scene," Jian Jia quipped.
Tan Song’s eyelid twitched, while a chill on the nearby An Hai was almost becoming tangible.
Seeing his [Heart of the Holy Mother] effect pass without any timing point, Shen Sui was confident and smug, saying, "Look! Your Life Points are over ten thousand now; isn’t that delightful?!"
Vivian looked at Shen Sui’s smug face, feeling like she was about to grind her teeth to dust.
Indeed, even after a thousand years, this guy’s style of playing cards hadn’t changed.
He could only let himself enjoy it, never the opponent.
You think letting my Chaos Body go berserk matters!
Hmph!
And at this mont, Shen Sui was on cloud nine.
The biggest weakness of [Red Lotus Fire: Alice] is its lack of Resistance; otherwise, pairing with [Heart of the Holy Mother] could deliver a good combo, as long as the opponent doesn’t have any counter effects, the subsequent move would see Shen Sui take over.
