My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

[You open your eyes in shock and look at your Dueling Device.]

[You watch your actions in the Dawn Continent....]

Shen Sui looked at the words jumping in the chat box and finally had some insight.

It seems that this text-based ability follows the main consciousness, and the Dueling Device just materializes it. Since other Life Card Masters do not have the ability to transfer their consciousness to the Soul Card World, no one has discovered this until now.

"So.... what on earth is this situation?"

When Shen Sui looked down to check his body, he found something rather speechless.

His appearance in the Dawn Continent was undeniably Shen Sui's original looks, but he had no physical form.

To be precise, there was no physical body in the biological sense.

He could indeed touch things, truly have sensations, but that was the result of magic power conversion, and his physical body did not exist.

In fact, even his soul did not exist in the Dawn Continent now; it was merely a sliver of consciousness that penetrated the world's barrier and descended to the Dawn Continent.

He was now more like a 3D projection; as long as the Dueling Device's output was turned off, this existence would disappear.

This is a very strange state.

But Shen Sui was certain of one thing: that his consciousness could not remain for long in this state; after a few hours, his consciousness would be forcibly disconnected and return to his original body.

Nevertheless, Shen Sui was quite satisfied. At least he had temporarily invaded the Dawn Continent, indicating that the real world's barrier wasn't as solid as imagined, so he might be able to invade other Soul Card Worlds through some means.

If Vivian and Qishala were also looking for him in other Soul Card Worlds, this would be very useful for Shen Sui.

"Yo, my dear master, you're awake again." Andori flew in front of Shen Sui with a wet appearance, greeting him in an unusually ingratiating manner.

Shen Sui looked at Andori and said, "You're not surprised."

Given Andori's strength, she could indeed see that the current Claude was different from before.

"Why be surprised?" Andori blinked her pretty little eyes.

However, she did not dare to get too close to Shen Sui, because once she approached too closely, Qishala on Shen Sui's neck would suddenly turn into a hunting beast and harshly expel her.

Qishala's soul was getting closer, and her body became more restless, unwilling to miss any opportunity to get close to Shen Sui because she knew that once her main body returned, she would be controlled by her consciousness, restraining her desires, unable to make any outrageous moves.

Damn it!

Why is the master existing in such a state?

If he truly descended, then perhaps, perhaps....

The little White Dragon on Shen Sui's neck instinctively thought.

These thoughts would be unreservedly transmitted to Qishala once her soul returned.

But she didn't mind; no matter how noble the soul, it should yield to instincts at times.

By then, if the soul yielded to the body's instincts, then I could....

The little White Dragon drove Andori away with her bare claws, her tail happily wagging.

Shen Sui was unaware that Qishala's body had thoughts of its own.

But it wasn't hard for him to understand such a state; sometimes the human body would override the brain's reason to do certain things, like when he saved images.

After a meticulous check, Shen Sui confirmed his status in the Dawn Continent once again.

Simply put, the Claude in the Dawn Continent was essentially a tool of the real-world Shen Sui, a response mechanism carrying abilities. When Shen Sui operated in the real world, all actions followed Shen Sui's input commands to the Dueling Device.

Once Shen Sui stopped operating the Dueling Device, this tool naturally went inactive without any actions.

This didn't even count as a clone because it had no self-action capability other than outputting power and Shen Sui's words.

Shen Sui initially thought there would be a conflict between two consciousnesses, but it turned out that Shen Sui alone was maneuvering this character from start to finish. This also explained why Claude ceased to exist once Shen Sui deleted his account, as Shen Sui no longer had the medium to enter the Dawn Continent.

Shen Sui could no longer intervene, but this power always existed.

When Shen Sui reengaged the Dawn Continent through the Dueling Device, he regained the power that belonged to him.

Shen Sui was very curious about his power, but unfortunately, this sliver of consciousness was too weak compared to his power.

Operating across the world barrier was fine as the backlash from power could not be transmitted to Shen Sui across worlds, but once consciousness descended, the backlash from this power constantly sought to consume Shen Sui's strand of consciousness.

Of course, if the power was loaded onto Shen Sui's main body, this problem wouldn't exist, except the real world might not withstand the Twilight Bishop's power.

Ah, what an interesting state, perhaps I could study it well in the future.

"Speaking of which, why are you wet?" Shen Sui asked Andori curiously.

"Aren't you punishing me to stay on the horse's tail for eight hours every day?" Andori blinked, "I just finished the punishment."

Ah, this....

Shen Sui didn't expect that Andori would execute his orders so honestly, even when his consciousness wasn't in the Dawn Continent. Given Andori's strength, she should be able to perceive Shen Sui's state, since she was one of the few locals aware of the invasion mechanism.

What loyalty this is.

Shen Sui was very touched and finally kindly withdrew the curse placed on Andori.

Andori breathed a sigh of relief, these past few days she had been on edge, afraid that Shen Sui might just discard her on a whim.

"So, why are you wet?" Shen Sui was puzzled; even under punishment, she shouldn't be this way.

"Alice thought she could catch better fish with me, so while I was bound to the horse's tail, she induced the Golden Ship to come to the water's edge." Andori huffed.

Shen Sui, full of question marks, turned to look at Alice in the distance.

He was now existing in a phantasmal state to avoid Alice realizing he was completely unharmed.

From a distance, Alice was wearing a refined magical robe of platinum interlaced with the insignia from Oshana, delightfully barbecuing large live fish one by one with Anna and Hali, evoking the feeling of a beautiful young girl camping during leisure.

Alice's face bore a bright and infectious smile.

This type of smile's charm can't truly be sensed across a screen.

Shen Sui finally understood, perhaps the charm of being redeemed by someone's smile in anime really does exist.

But the next moment, Alice seemed to remember something, her smile vanished, and she touched the ring on her hand with some sorrow, muttering something to herself.

Alice looked up, took a deep breath, and gathered the previously sad, lost, and guilty emotions, a determined and confident expression emerging on the girl's face.

"I will definitely cure Claude!"

Alice waved her fist, cheering herself on.
