My Stubborn Soul Card Follower

Powerful cards always carry risks.

If he hadn't been prepared, Shen Sui wouldn't have casually activated [Chaos].

Although he didn't expect the opponent to blow up his follower during his own turn, he roughly knew that Alice's direct attack wouldn't work.

As his words fell, Shi Ruoyi suddenly felt a moment of disorientation.

She sensed something being extracted from her body.

Instinctively, she raised her head, only to find a duplicate of herself floating above.

What is this?

A projection from the dueling device?

Or the effect of a card.

"She is your soul." Shen Sui smiled slightly, and behind him, there was also a shadow, "A dark duel is fair; of course, it's also cruel."

"Every participant in a dark duel must risk everything to pursue ultimate victory."

"And the loser will lose their life."

Shen Sui's voice gradually turned cold.

"Wha... what? What on earth are you talking about?!" Shi Ruoyi shouted in disbelief.

Her voice trembled.

Everything in front of her had exceeded her imagination.

She certainly knew of the existence of extraordinary power; otherwise, she wouldn't possess the power to inflict suffering.

However, directly extracting her soul, what kind of power is this!

Her soul had been blessed by the Suffering Bodhisattva!

"When you torment your opponent, you should also accept such torment. It's no fun to unilaterally impose suffering, is it?" Shen Sui looked at Shi Ruoyi and said with a smile, "Well then, my turn continues."

Shen Sui watched with interest as Shi Ruoyi's emotions changed.

He actually quite liked this world.

He could thoroughly enjoy a duel without needing to worry about survival issues.

Although this world had many injustices, there were also many who wanted to make it better.

Shen Sui had no intention of saving any world.

But if someone disturbed his life and left him with no cards to play, he would be very troubled.

He did not understand the purpose behind the Suffering Bodhisattva, but at least this value of imposing suffering on others without any cost to the perpetrator, Shen Sui could not agree with.

To forge my ecstasy with the suffering of others.

A truly selfish belief.

Shen Sui drew a card from his hand: "My turn, paying 2 Soul Points, activate from my hand, Spell Card [Return]!

[Return] is a level 4 card, but due to [Chaos]'s effect, Shen Sui only needed to pay 2 Soul Points to use it.

"From my deck, graveyard, or banished zone, select a multi-form follower card," Shen Sui said unhurriedly, "choose a form different from its current state to special summon to the field."

The so-called existing form refers to the state a Soul Card takes when it enters the graveyard or is banished, while Soul Cards in the deck or hand appear in their default initial form.

When Alice entered the graveyard, her form was [Arson Master Alice]; therefore, the form summoned by [Return] cannot be this.

Shen Sui had to choose [Red Lotus Fire Alice]!

"Then, I pay 1 Soul Point, activate the Spell Card [Winning Over People's Hearts]."

Shen Sui activated his last remaining card other than [Arson]: "Once per turn, you choose a follower of 10 stars or more from your deck for special summoning, then I can choose two cards from my deck."

Of course, the cards Shen Sui could choose were restricted; the total star level of the two cards couldn't exceed the opponent's special summoned follower's.

"What~!" Shi Ruoyi, seeing that Shen Sui had emptied his hand, also sighed in relief, "Is it only this much? I thought our God of Age would be more impressive."

Shi Ruoyi spread out her deck.

The follower she intended to summon was [Sound of Suffering: Adele].

"As long as the Sound of Suffering Adele is on the field," Shi Ruoyi couldn't resist boasting, "you can't declare an attack…"

"It doesn't matter."

"What?!"

"It doesn't matter what card you have. To me, they're all the same." Shen Sui said slowly, having already selected two cards from his deck, "Activate the effect of the Follower Card in my hand, [Fish King Paiyiga]! Release two followers on your field…"

"Have you lost your mind? The Messenger of Suffering is unaffected by other card effects…"

But before Shi Ruoyi could finish speaking, with the sound of flowing water, the Messengers of Suffering on her field were eaten by the fish.

Her voice instantly got stuck in her throat.

"Then, pay 5 Soul Points, activate Equipment Spell Card [Eye of the Evil God]."

Shen Sui pointed to [Fish King Paiyiga] on Shi Ruoyi's field, "Equip it to [Fish King Paiyiga], and then I gain control of this follower."

Paiyiga returned to Shen Sui's field.

[Red Lotus Fire Alice], face spirit value 1500.

[Fish King Paiyiga], face spirit value 2000.

Under the effect of [Chaos], their spirit values doubled.

7000 points of damage were sufficient to take down Shi Ruoyi, whose life value was only 6000.

Shen Sui entered the battle phase.

He looked at Shi Ruoyi and revealed a devilish smile.

Seeing Shen Sui's smile, Shi Ruoyi felt a chill in her heart.

"Next, it might hurt a bit." Shen Sui declared the attack, "Paiyiga, direct attack!"

Wha...

Shi Ruoyi hadn't even reacted when a fish tail smacked her across the face.

She had just been thinking, isn't it just a direct attack? How painful could it be?

But the next moment, an excruciating pain erupted from deep within her soul.

A pain from the core, yet unreachable no matter what she did.

Her face instantly turned pale, and when she looked up, she realized that her soul had nearly been shattered at that moment.

She would die!

This was really her soul!

At that moment, Shi Ruoyi finally believed Shen Sui's words.

She really would die!

Fear and pain, spirit and flesh.

Shi Ruoyi felt the world spinning; she desperately wanted to faint at that moment.

However, a force seemed to forcibly keep her conscious.

"This is the suffering that the Suffering Bodhisattva inflicts."

Shen Sui chuckled.

"What do you think? Do you like it?"

This was torture!

This was murder!

This was not a duel at all!

Shi Ruoyi screamed internally.

Her lips were pale, her body trembling, her expression distorted by extreme terror, yet she lost the ability to speak.

"Yes, yes! I love seeing that expression on your face." Shen Sui exclaimed excitedly, "That performance art has that flavor, but you're missing something."

Shi Ruoyi opened her mouth but could only produce the sound of air and minor clicks of her vocal cords catching.

Watching the other's painful yet forcibly conscious state due to his power, Shen Sui shook his head and sighed; he was just too kind-hearted.

He couldn't bear to see others suffer.

"Alice, direct attack." Shen Sui declared the final attack.

The power of flames pierced through Shi Ruoyi's soul at that moment.

Shi Ruoyi's eyes rolled back, and she fainted directly, her body falling stiffly and unmoving.

"Tsk. Don't you enjoy suffering? How come you couldn't handle even two hits?"

Shen Sui said disinterestedly.

He was slightly regretful in his heart; if he had enough resources, he would have searched for [Heart of the Holy Mother] to boost her life value by 7000, stacking more cards into the graveyard, and then activated Red Lotus Fire Alice's effect to banish the followers from the graveyard for extra attacks, letting this person who tortured others through duels truly feel what real torment was like.

What if she was truly tortured to death?

Don't I have [Recovery]?

"Ah... damn, I forgot." Shen Sui muttered, tapping his forehead in annoyance, looking at the fainted Shi Ruoyi on the ground, "How will I find out the purpose behind them stealing the Soul Card now?"
