Chapter 176: When the God Cards Gained Life
After the hurricane of Selfless Sword Aura condensed by Obelisk hit Ais, Ais could vaguely perceive the life energy within her own body.
It was like in wuxia novels where a first-rate master infuses their internal energy into a junior's body, helping them open their Ren and Du meridians, allowing them to quickly master internal energy, and even broaden their meridians, mastering years of accumulated power.
Repeatedly recalling the feeling of releasing the Selfless Sword Aura, she discovered that this sword art possessed astonishing potential.
She returned to the Loki Familia's home base, only to find that there was no one in the Familia.
"What's going on?"
The young woman had a puzzled look on her face. Then she suddenly remembered that Loki and everyone else in the Familia had gone to participate in the Duel King competition.
"Dueling cards? Are they cards like Liam's Obelisk? If only I had that kind of power too."
She immediately left the Familia home base, inquiring about the location of Loki and the others' competition.
Ganesha Colosseum.
This was the venue for the preliminary matches. Four sets of duel fields were operating simultaneously. The one that received the most attention was the card duel between Bell and Loki.
Loki placed a barrel of wine by her feet with a grin, then placed her deck on the duel disk.
Bell simultaneously placed his deck on the field.
"Duel!"
"Duel!"
A projection of a coin immediately appeared on the duel field between the two. The coin spun and was tossed into the sky, finally landing on the duel field with the heads side up.
Loki's duel disk lit up. She squinted her eyes and drew five cards.
"My turn! I summon the Familia card, Lefiya! And I'll set one card in my back row."
"Lefiya, Type: Familia Card, Star Level: 3 stars
Attack Power: 1100, Defense Power: 1000
Effect: When the number of allied Familia cards is greater than or equal to two, attack power increases to 1800."
Lefiya, as a Lv3 adventurer, could release firepower comparable to a Lv5.
Therefore, Liam had also incorporated this effect into the Familia card he created.
"I offer Lefiya as a tribute to summon Bete Loga!"
"Bete Loga, Type: Familia Card, Star Level: 6 stars
Attack Power: 1900, Defense Power: 1400
Effect: Once per turn, attack power increases by 200."
They only saw in Loki's Familia card area, Lefiya's three-dimensional image first appeared on the duel field.
Then her image turned into light particles and dissipated. Bete Loga's figure appeared, and next to him, the relevant data was displayed.
A smug smile appeared on Loki's face, "I didn't expect my luck to be so good in the first turn, to summon Bete Loga directly!
You'd better be careful."
Bell looked at the five cards in his hand with a serious expression, then drew another card, and his eyes lit up.
"My turn! I summon Dungeon Magic Rabbit!"
"Dungeon Magic Rabbit, Type: Familia Card, Star Level: 1 star
Attack Power: 100, Defense Power: 50
Effect: Once per turn, you can special summon a card of the same name from your deck or hand!"
"Activate Dungeon Magic Rabbit's special effect! I special summon from the deck, Dungeon Asterius."
"Dungeon Asterius, Type: Familia Card, Star Level: 6 stars
Attack Power: 2200, Defense Power: 1800
Effect: Once per turn, attack power is temporarily increased by 200."
On Bell's side, a Magic Rabbit was first summoned onto the duel field.
Then a faint blue light emitted from the Magic Rabbit's body, and next to it, in the adjacent area, the black Minotaur appeared.
With its appearance, a golden light enveloped its entire body.
Loki's eyes widened! She looked at the card in Bell's hand in shock!
"How is that possible! It's actually a legendary card!"
This legendary card, Asterius, didn't have any particularly special effects, only simple and unadorned stats.
"Asterius, attack Bete Loga!"
Loki's face was clearly a bit flustered, "Activate Trap Card! Magic Cylinder!"
"Magic Cylinder, Type: Trap Card
Effect:
Can only be activated during the opponent's battle phase. Select 2 Magic/Trap cards from your deck. Those 2 cards are treated as Normal Monster cards (ATK/DEF 0), mixed with 1 monster on your side of the field (in a main monster zone), shuffled, and set in face-down defense position.
Cards special summoned by this effect cannot exist outside the battle phase. They are destroyed at the end of the battle phase."
The image of the card set in the back row on the duel field immediately stood up, and then three hats covered the three areas of the Familia card respectively.
Bete Loga's figure also disappeared directly.
Bell carefully observed the other party's three hats.
"Asterius, activate effect, attack the middle hat."
Asterius immediately raised the giant axe on its back, and its attack power immediately increased from 2200 to 2400.
Then a dazzling ball of thunder was cleaved out by it, and then it smashed the hat.
And Bete Loga happened to be in the middle hat, and was then destroyed in defense position.
Although this attack did not cause damage, Loki clearly became more flustered.
"What do I do? What do I do? How is Bell's luck so good?"
But before it was Loki's turn, Bell once again took out a magic card.
"Activate Magic Card: Dungeon Combo Attack."
"Dungeon, Type: Magic Card
Effect:
Cards with the Dungeon prefix can attack twice during our turn."
Under Bell's operation, the Magic Rabbit attacked twice in a row, directly crushing the remaining two hats.
Immediately after, the black Minotaur once again drew its giant axe. It charged in front of Loki, and its huge axe fiercely chopped down in front of Loki's duel disk.
A violent air current impacted Loki's body, blowing her so that she slumped to the ground.
"It hurts!"
Two magnificent lines of text appeared in the sky above the entire duel field.
"Loser: Loki, Life Points: 2000 → 0", the color of the text turned red.
"Victory! Winner: Bell! Life Points: 2000 → 2000", the text was at the very top, and the font was the largest and brightest, and it was a high-profile golden color.
As a goddess, to be defeated by someone in one turn, Loki was very sad, and then fiercely drank a whole barrel of wine.
Upon seeing Ais walk over, her face was immediately filled with happiness.
"Ais, are you here to comfort me? Ais is really the best in the whole world. Come here quickly and let me hug you!"
Ais walked over and looked at Loki seriously. "Loki, I want to transfer to the Hestia Familia!"
"What? What did you say? I can't hear you."
A dazed expression clearly appeared on Loki's face. She hurriedly put the cards in her pocket and then ran away at high speed.
Ais tilted her head and looked at Loki's back. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
...
Goibniu Familia Home Base.
Liam was admiring the completed Sky Dragon and The Winged Dragon of Ra.
All three Divine Beasts had been forged. Everyone present was filled with a sense of accomplishment. "It's actually completed!"
Possessing three God Cards at the same time, Liam's heart was very complicated at this time.
The feeling of having this power made him extremely happy. After working so hard for so long, all his hard work had finally not been in vain.
"Liam! You get out here for me!"
Loki's voice came from outside the room.
Tsubaki and the others looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.
Liam carefully placed the two new God Cards in his pocket, then walked out.
As soon as he went out, he saw the furious Loki.
"Loki, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
Loki strode up to Liam and grabbed him by the collar.
"You bastard, how dare you steal my beloved Ais away. You're a big bastard!"
Liam understood, "So it's about this. So what's your opinion?"
"The key is that she actually told me that only by following you can she continue to grow? What kind of ridiculous reasoning is this?
And she also said you can create a card-type magic sword. So what if a magic sword is powerful?"
"So?"
Liam looked at Loki with some confusion, "The Familia member's transfer application, are you going to reject it or?"
"I want to see the card-type magic sword you made first! Although your growth potential is very astonishing, this doesn't mean you can also promote Ais's growth!"
Liam breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's it. Coincidentally, I just made a new God Card. Let me show you."
He came to the open space outside the room, and then held up the God Card in his hand—"THE GOD OF OSIRIS" Slifer the Sky Dragon.
The sky turned into a black vortex of dark clouds, with golden thunder constantly flashing within the dark clouds.
Loki was stunned, "Why did it suddenly get dark?"
A dazzling white pillar of light fell on the ground in front of Liam. A red and black, two-winged, four-legged, two-mouthed giant dragon appeared.
Its body was unbelievably massive and slender, roughly estimated to be several hundred meters long.
"What is this?"
"The God Card, Slifer the Sky Dragon!"
"Slifer the Sky Dragon, Type: God Card, Star Level: 10 stars
Attack Power: X000, Defense Power: X000
This card's Normal Summon requires 3 Tributes.
①: This card is unaffected by Trap Cards. This card cannot be destroyed by the effects of monsters or spells other than DIVINE attribute. The effects of monster or spell cards that target this card, other than destruction, only apply for 1 turn.
②: This card's original ATK and DEF become the number of cards in the controller's hand x 1000.
③: When an opponent's monster is Normal or Special Summoned, this effect activates. Decrease that monster's ATK or DEF by 2000 points depending on its battle position. If this effect reduces the ATK or DEF to 0, destroy that monster.
④: This card's control cannot be changed.
⑤: While this card is in defense position, if an opponent's monster activates an effect that targets a monster on your side of the field, you can have this card be the target of the effect instead."
With half his stamina depleted again, Liam's breathing became rapid, and his face also turned a little pale.
Every time he used a God Card, there was such a large consumption. It seemed that making a suitable duel disk had to be put on the agenda.
Loki came over curiously, her face full of excitement.
"I see why Ais wants to join your Familia. So you have this kind of potential.
So cool!
Let me see your God Card quickly, please. For the sake of me agreeing to Ais's transfer application."
Liam nodded, "Then you look at this one. The Winged Dragon of Ra. Slifer the Sky Dragon has been summoned by me now."
Loki nodded hurriedly, taking The Winged Dragon of Ra with both hands in ecstatic joy.
However, after Liam let go of the card, the God Card in Loki's hand immediately erupted with thunder.
Loki, who was in the direct line of fire, was naturally hit by the thunder and was completely blackened.
She also threw the card out in pain, lying on the ground with white smoke coming from her body.
"Liam, what's going on? I feel like I'm really miserable today."
And The Winged Dragon of Ra, as if it had a life of its own, flew directly into Liam's hand.
Tsubaki, Hephaestus, and Goibniu all looked at this scene in shock.
"How could this happen?"
Tsubaki came over, "Liam, let me try."
Liam nodded and handed The Winged Dragon of Ra to Tsubaki.
"Eh? Although I wasn't electrocuted, I can't summon it at all."
Apart from Tsubaki, Hephaestus and Goibniu all tried it once.
Hephaestus frowned and looked at the three God Cards in Liam's hand.
At this time, the Sky Dragon had already returned to the inside of the card.
"It seems that these three God Cards all have their own consciousness. They will choose a suitable master themselves.
Currently, it seems that only Liam can become their master. Even us three assistants are only not attacked."
Well, I didn't expect to get a soul-bound card-type magic sword again.
However, these three God Cards, compared to his indestructible armaments, still had the possibility of being used by others in the future.
Relying on the wisdom characteristic in the cards, Liam guessed that only those who could defeat him head-on in a card duel could use his God Cards.
Of course, these were all theoretical guesses.
And with his character, he would not casually lose to others and hand over the God Cards.
Liam carefully placed the three God Cards into a special card box and turned to look at Loki.
"Loki, don't be too sad. Although we are two Familias, you and your Familia members can often come to our place to play."
"Eh? Really? That's great. You must have enough wine and water. I want to come over to freeload often!"
He didn't expect Loki to be handled so easily. He thought she was also very concerned about Ais's future.
Liam didn't say anything about guaranteeing Ais's growth to a certain height, just that he would do his best to supervise her growth.
With Ais's talent and bloodline, growing to Lv6 or even a higher level was completely a matter of time.
And Liam, on his side, only planned to show up in the top eight.
"This period of rest can basically come to an end. Next, I'll prepare to continue the Familia expedition."
Of course, before the Familia expedition, he had to go see Hestia first and update his ability scores.
"I remember, Hestia seems to have a duel competition today too!"
Saying goodbye to Tsubaki and the others, Liam arrived at the Ganesha Familia's Colosseum.
At this time, Hestia was coincidentally competing on the same stage with Freya.
"What a coincidence? It's actually a duel between the two of them?
Because his main experience was in making God Cards, he wasn't too familiar with Hestia's and Freya's decks.
However, he decided to have a good look at the duel between the two goddesses.
