Free Web NovelChapter 1072: Chapter 400: The Destiny Card That Struck Fear into Hearts
In front of Ree Shil appeared an unremarkable green Slime Creature.
Based on the god they represented, these Slime Creatures would usually exhibit some unique traits.
Even the Slime of the Cunning God had a sleazy and sly appearance.
But the one before him seemed to have no distinguishing characteristics.
Oh, wait, on closer inspection.
He noticed that atop its head was a single "heart" character.
He had no idea what it specifically signified.
In any case, it was quite a surprise that someone, no, that a Divine Deity was squatting on his territory.
He expressed considerable astonishment.
Thinking about it, according to the Time Ratio, it had been several months since he last left the Buffer Zone.
Could it be that the other party had been lurking nearby all this time?
"You’re not some god of boredom, are you?"
With that thought, he asked.
"How did you know my nickname, boing?"
Unexpectedly, that was how the other party responded.
"..."
Ree Shil felt both curious and like he wanted to retort.
What kind of god would be tagged as the god of boredom?
"Enough talk, take this!"
The opponent directly jumped into the Card Grid where he was.
Whoom!
A column of light descended, and the Card table instantly unfolded.
This situation left Ree Shil feeling somewhat passive.
Because he had just arrived and had not yet occupied a Card Grid.
So, he was stuck in the current white square.
Since he belonged to the Left Heart faction, fighting in a white square would grant the other party an extra 10 points of home-field advantage.
For a deity-level being, a 10-point lead might spawn some changes.
But times had changed, and if it had been last time, he might have been somewhat worried.
This time?
"Hmph."
He snorted coldly. The deities here might not even have as many S-rank cards as he did.
Thus, he quickly arranged his card deck.
The new version of the Scene Card also affected the Buffer Zone, with the Scene Card mode here being completely consistent with the new version.
After some thought, Ree Shil still decided to go with his most practiced Kung Fu Deck.
Or rather, it should be said that he played his tried-and-true trio of first row Kung Fu cards as starters.
False Saint + Weapon Master + Sweeping Monk.
The False Saint is actually the Martial Monkey.
It’s just that its name changed after it was diamond-edged; its card face remained the same.
He had two reasons for choosing this setup.
First, the frontline Injury Cards needed Healing.
The Kung Fu cards could be paired with Martial Woods, allowing Martial Woods to enter the fray.
Second, when he had battled with deities in the Buffer Zone before, he hadn’t really feared them in terms of card deck strength.
But with the Scene Cards, he still had an obvious shortcoming.
Even with the new version, this concern remained.
After all, the depth of a deity’s resources was incomparable to that of an ordinary card player.
The Fair Duel of Martial Woods could easily solve this problem.
If it came to it, he would just nullify both sides’ Scene Cards.
"Hehe, those three A Level Cards of yours are pretty good, boing."
The Slime Creature across the table commented with a laugh as it looked at the cards.
As it spoke, it used its willpower to Reveal its Scene Card.
Clang!
The sound of a huge gong resounded, and the vast shadows of two giant characters emerged.
Wisdom
"Hm?"
This scene gave Ree Shil a sense of déjà vu.
Wasn’t it the Scene Card he had obtained after clearing the Seven Series Dao?
It seemed that this deity was quite something, to actually possess the Card of Wisdom.
Having challenged the Breakthrough Envoy, he knew too well how abnormal a being of that level could be.
Card of Wisdom
Scene
Leader - Flexible: For every Wisdom Card the ally summons, Recover 1 point of energy
Wisdom Gift - Flexible: The ally’s entire Wisdom Reveal Cards recover 1 point of energy every 3 rounds
"Bet you’ve never seen this kind of card before, right? This is a double Flexible Scene Card with no fixed descriptors, boing."
The opponent seemed slightly smug.
The Wisdom Card set valued an initial burst of Skill deployment.
Among the energies of various card sets, its energy cost-effectiveness was on par with the Wind listening card.
If the explosive Wisdom Card set were to gain a charging mechanism, making the burst more enduring or even perpetual, then that would be quite a frightening prospect.
Ree Shil truly hadn’t expected that the Seven-System Scene Card would have such special advantages under the new version.
All he could say was, it was a good thing he played Martial Woods.
He would change a descriptor next turn and wipe out this Wisdom Card.
However, this Wisdom Card was just the beginning.
The truly surprising thing was yet to come.
Ree Shil could guarantee he had never encountered such a strategy before.
Under the willpower of the deity, its three front row cards were simultaneously revealed.
And these three front row cards turned out to be empty cards!
Meaning, there were no cards!
He didn’t know what to call this tactic, whether it was surrendering or a handicap.
It didn’t seem like it, so it made him even more vigilant.
Indeed, at this point, the Unveiling Stage was not yet over.
The Slime Creature then sent out another wave of mental power, and a regular card hidden in the corner of the Last Row on the card table was revealed.
Radiant colors glimmered.
This was an S-rank Card. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Ree Shil knew things weren’t that simple.
As the card face was revealed, a wave of water-like sleeve edges swept by.
And card after card danced in the air like falling leaves.
Then he heard a voice.
"I hope to keep dancing continuously."
If the word ’I’ had been replaced with ’a humble maiden’, he would have thought the Sword Dancing Lady had gone over to the other side. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Mists gathered upon the card face, and through the haze, a figure could be seen dancing gracefully.
Her face was covered with a light veil, and with the cover of the mist, only her elegant dance could be discerned.
