Chapter 1087: Chapter 410: The Arrival of the Deity
However, this round turned out to be extremely embarrassing for Big Black Chicken.
The original version of the Sheep God was even more lethal, unleashing combo after combo without explanation, leaving him completely disoriented.
None of the tactics he had prepared came into use.
In the end, he faced a dismal defeat, just like the kid in the tank top.
Besides depleting 50% of the [Ugly Man’s] Health, he achieved nothing else.
Summoning cards are meant to counter [Resurrection], but you have to release them first.
If the Summoning cards are destroyed, what are you going to summon with?
[Ding Dong!]
[Balance representative, Henry Thompson wins!]
Following the system’s announcement, Ree Shil once again nearly obtained his second round victory unscathed.
His opponent left the stage downheartedly, while he, just like before, opened the screen to check on the fighting team’s situation.
He almost burst into laughter when he saw the result, which could be mistaken for the sound of a pig.
On Grace Spring’s side, she was still fighting the Headline Defense player from the other team.
Both card decks had very little damage.
The other party lost 3 cards, while Grace Spring lost 2 cards.
It didn’t seem much different from before.
"Man, it’s already been 50 rounds.
Both sides have a [Resurrection] card, who knows when this match will end.
For the audience, this is truly a torture."
[Ding Dong!]
[Breakthrough Zone representative Leo Berry enters the field.]
The name of this player is a bit odd.
The figure appearing opposite was clad in a form-fitting cloak that even covered their face.
Only two insect-like tentacles protruded from the cloak.
Combined with that ID name, Ree Shil couldn’t shake the feeling that the other party was possibly using their real name and true image.
[Henry Thompson, you are strong.
I’m now filled with anticipation for you.]
The voice of this person was androgynous, sounding like friction from some odd object.
It wasn’t exactly unpleasant, but very eerie.
Moreover, from the moment they spoke, they exuded a superior air.
Unlike his first two teammates who began with a low-profile attitude, this one was evidently different.
In fact, what Ree Shil, or other Major Districts didn’t know, was that hidden among the Breakthrough Zone representative team was a reincarnated Divine Deity.
It was none other than Leo Berry, who ranked only 29th in the team.
Clearly, this ranking was intentional.
Even in his own Regional Competition, he didn’t strive for a particularly good performance.
Advancing was sufficient.
All of this was to hide his true prowess.
Leo Berry was a Divine Deity who had regained his memories quite early after reincarnating.
He wanted to participate in the Major District face-off to meet some old friends.
Now, seeing the S-rank Card displayed by Ree Shil made him interested. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Well, if that’s the case, then he might as well bring out his main card deck for a good match with this young lad.
"Then let’s start."
Ree Shil didn’t intend to waste words.
He wanted to win as many rounds as possible before Grace Spring secured her first victory.
That way, he could enjoy mocking that guy to his heart’s content.
So both sides started to set up their cards, with Ree Shil having not much to arrange, mainly just observing the opponent.
Leo Berry didn’t take much time, clearly having a plan all along.
After setting up the cards, it was time for the Reveal Card round.
Ree Shil still had [False Saint] + [Weapon Master] + [Sweeping Monk].
But the cards revealed on the other side were a bit odd.
[Glurgle Glurgle...]x3
Three wriggling worm-like creatures emerged from the card faces.
By their looks, all three were equally disgusting.
[Shell Ant Larva]x3
Listening to the Wind, 0 Points, A
Attack 0, 50/50, 2/2
[Growth - 2 Point Energy]: Evolves into [Shell Ant]
[Shell Ant]x3
Balance, 30 points, A
Attack 10, 70+20/70+20
[Insect Tide - Passive]: For every 1 identical Reveal Card on the field, the Shell Ant’s Health upper limit + 10
[Regeneration Force - Passive]: The Shell Ant gains 10 points [Healing] each round.
[Spiked Carapace - Passive]: The Shell Ant’s Attack Power -20, after taking Damage, it deals 10 points [Fixed Damage] to the source.
(Note: Thanks to designer [jonathanL], this card has been balanced.)
"Oh?"
This form of Derivative Card is relatively rare, and it piqued Ree Shil’s interest.
He then took a look at the opponent’s Scene Card.
It was a stretch of land that looked dark and bloodied, covering half of the opponent’s card table.
[Insect Tribe Breeding Ground]
Scene
[Rejection - Fixed]: On your own half of the field, the opponent cannot perform Summons.
[Vanguard - Flexible]: In the first round, larvae placed in the Headline District can be Full Charged.
No wonder those 3 larva cards came out fully charged.
On the fully charged round, they directly evolved at T0.
Then during the action confirmation phase, the cards had already turned into [Shell Ants], ready for action selection.
Without a doubt, this [Shell Ant] was a Hedgehog Card.
The opponent took advantage of the fact that his first row cards did not have high Attack Power, and dispatched this line of Hedgehog Cards.
[False Saint] and [Weapon Master] with only 20 Attack Power, hitting on the opposite [Defense] would only cause 10 points of damage, and they would be hit with a 10 points [Fixed Damage] rebound.
Besides, others also had a self-contained 10 points [Healing], truly leaving your few first-row cards to merely scratch them.
So the first round, Ree Shil simply did not carry out any attacks.
Both sides just stared at each other, acting as if nothing had happened.
The next round, Ree Shil was somewhat unexpected.
He didn’t reveal Tricky Hand Snake to scoop up Sheep God but chose to reveal Three-eyed Spy.
"Hmm?"
Such behavior left Leo Berry slightly surprised.
He was equally wary of this strange question mark card.
However, it was also good, his own reveal card for this round was quite targeted at this type of situation.
[Gurgle Gurgle...]
It was another wiggling white fat larva, but this time the card face was different.
[Thorn Ant Larva]
Listening to the Wind, 0 points, A
Attack 0, 50/50, 0/2
[Growth - 2 Point Energy]: Evolve into [Thorn Ant]
[Thorn Ant]
Breakthrough, 30 points, A
Attack 30, 70/70, 0/3
[Insect Tide - Passive]: For every 1 identical Reveal Card on the field, the Shell Ant’s Health upper limit + 10
[Bone Spur - Passive]: Thorn Snake can attack across 1 row of blocking
[Acid Spray - 2 Point Energy]: Thorn Snake attacks 1 target, with an added 10 points [Armor Break] effect
"Hmm..."
This kind of card, Ree Shil found rather tricky.
Originally, all he needed to predict was whether the 3 Outer Cards were going on Defense.
Now faced with an across-the-board attack, he had to predict whether the 6 cards including the Outer Cards and those behind them were going on Defense.
Looking at the situation, the opponent obviously wouldn’t just have this one [Thorn Ant].
There had to be at least 2 or 3 of them, right?
Thankfully, [Armor Break] effects couldn’t stack, or they would be too overpowered.
However, just one [Thorn Ant] was not frightening.
Especially since the opponent was playing a slow-burn approach, the [Larvae] alone would need 2 rounds of charging just to think about evolving.
But just as he was thinking this, Leo Berry flipped over his Scene Card.
[Vanguard - Flexible]: In the first round, larvae placed in the Headline District can be Full Charged.
↓
[Inducement]: Every round designate 1 larva to gain 1 point of charge.
It seemed that the opponent was well-prepared.
