Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

"Just as we expected, starting from the Star Cup finals, after you summoned two Phantom Gods simultaneously in a duel, the third Phantom God—'The Winged Dragon of Ra'—entered its initial awakening stage. The subsequent Starlight Water and the current War of the Gods further stimulated it. Especially the latter; it seems 'The Winged Dragon of Ra' isn't very interested in Ragnarok."

At this point, Wang Yang couldn't help but chuckle softly.

The dignity of a god is inviolable. It's a miracle that the Winged Dragon of Ra didn't immediately appear and smash the opponent's head in the face when it was so provoked by a heretical god.

After that, the Winged Rathalos, having awakened from its slumber, was obviously unable to continue its nap for the time being.

"Now is the best opportunity to gain the approval of the Winged Rathalos."

"So what is the trial?"

When this matter was mentioned, You Xi's eyes became serious.

If possible, he also wants to collect all three Egyptian God cards.

"It's very simple."

Wang Yang didn't beat around the bush any further and said directly, "Just use force to subdue it in a direct battle."

"Frontline combat..."

Yu Xi looked at Wang Yang with a troubled expression: "Mr. Atum, am I going to challenge you to another duel?"

Then he can forget about getting the Winged Dragon.

You should know that he had played cards with Wang Yang quite a bit during this period, but he had never won once.

"of course not."

Wang Yang laughed and said, "I won't interfere in this duel. What you have to do is fight its true form and then defeat it."

"I see."

You Xi understood the content of this trial.

Unlike the previous two times.

The challenge of "Osiris the Sky Dragon" requires one to demonstrate matching strength in duels against powerful opponents.

"Obelisk the Tormentor" requires both fighting spirit and strength to defeat stronger opponents.

The "Winged Dragon of the Sun God" is pure and direct; one is one, and two is two.

—Defeat it, and Youxi will become its boss.

...Emmm, this does have that vibe of a dynamic group.

However, it's actually a good thing that it's so simple and easy to understand.

"I see."

You Xi nodded: "Then let's try it when we get home."

"Oh? Aren't you going to start the trial now?"

“Mr. Atum, please don’t joke around. For such an important duel, you definitely need to be in good shape before you go. I just finished playing cards with Mr. Sigurd, and I’ve had Uncle Xing’s business these past two days, so it’s impossible for me to be in perfect condition.”

"makes sense."

Wang Yang understood, saying, "Before undertaking great tasks, one needs to purify oneself with incense and a ritualistic purification. 'La' may not give you a second chance. It's indeed better to adjust your mind, body, and spirit to their peak before engaging in a decisive battle."

"That's right, and besides, I don't have the time for that right now."

You Xi said, "I've already told Wu that we're going to the Angel Church to play with the children today. As for starting the trial, we should probably wait a few more days."

Because she went straight to the hospital after returning home, and apart from going back to her own home to change her clothes and sleep, You Xi hasn't had time to go anywhere else.

How could I not share the good news and joy of winning the championship with the children?

With Izayoi Rose gone, Yuuki had no reason to stay in the café any longer. After sending a message to Hoshinobu and Izayoi Yuki, she put on a mask and a baseball cap, took a bus from a nearby station, and headed towards the Angel Church.

Upon arrival and opening the door to the inner plaza of the church, one can hear bursts of laughter and cheerful conversation.

It was immediately obvious that Xingye Wu was playing with a group of children and bragging.

The white-haired, red-eyed girl next to her was also surrounded by several children, looking helpless and somewhat at a loss.

"Hey, Xingye-neechan, tell me more, tell me more about your competition. Were your opponents very strong? And...were those bad guys on that island really scary?"

"Hehehe, do you want to know? If you do, give me an extra portion of your snacks tonight, and I'll tell you everything."

"Hey—you actually tried to steal a child's snacks, that's a disgrace to your role as an older sister."

"What are you saying? This is my fair share of compensation. You can't just take my labor for free and not give me any tips. At least readers of online novels know to feed the authors. Your behavior is really shameful."

"Hey--"

Xingye Wu, hands on her hips, lectured and reprimanded the young children who wanted to "eat and dash," trying to teach them to walk the right path. Unfortunately, the latter didn't appreciate it, only rolling their eyes and reluctantly agreeing.

Then, everyone eagerly anticipated Xingye Wu's eloquence, honed through writing certain articles, vividly recounting the various interesting events that occurred during the Star Cup.

Meanwhile, Izayoi Yuki, who was also being pestered by the little devil, was asked a whole bunch of questions.

However, the problems she encountered were somewhat different from those of Xing Yewu.

"Sister Xue, when you were possessed by that evil god, did you still feel anything? If so, what did it feel like?"

"People say that after a hero saves a damsel in distress, the girl will either be his slave in her next life or repay him with her body. Which one are you, Sister Xue?"

"And another thing, between you and Sister Xingye, who is the elder and who is the younger?"

"These questions you're asking are really strange."

The children's questions came one after another, each one more tricky and difficult to answer than the last. Izayoi Yuki was left speechless, unable to find a suitable response.

No... She had been here before at Xingye Wu's invitation, so why didn't she notice how precocious these children were back then?

She's much more mature than she was back then.

"Elisa, it's you stirring up trouble again, isn't it?"

Fortunately, when Izayoi Yuki was caught in a dilemma, and Hoshino Mai ignored her pleading gaze and just watched the show with a smirk, someone came to her rescue.

"You Xi?"

"Xiao Xi, you're here."

"Big brother!" xN

The girls' joyful voices rang out, followed by cheers from a group of children.

Hoshinobu and Izayoi Yukibei were instantly abandoned and disfavored, and both men and women surrounded the newly arrived boy.

"Wow, Xiaoxi is really popular."

Seeing this, Xing Yewu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "I was here first, so I should be the most popular one with the kids. Now I'm starting to feel a little jealous."

"This is normal."

A calm yet aged voice rang in the girl's ears: "After all, Youxi stole the show at the Star Cup. People of their age have no resistance to heroes. Since Youxi is here, it is only natural that he will become the protagonist."

"Wow!"

Xingye Wu nearly jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on: "Father Anderson, when did you appear? You walk without making a sound!"

"It's because you didn't pay attention."

Father Anderson said, "I had just finished my work in my study and came out to find this place too noisy, so I stopped by to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you."

"Hehehe, unexpected, right? Surprised? Did you think we wouldn't be back for a few more days?"

Whether you come back or not has nothing to do with me.

Father Anderson's expression remained unchanged. Xingye Wu, who couldn't see anything she wanted to see on his face, was slightly disappointed. Then she heard the old man say, "However, to win the Star Cup, I must say you did a good job. No, it should be said that you did an excellent job. Xingye, it seems that your decision to leave the Angel Church was not a bad one."

"Hehe, of course."

Xing Yewu patted her little arms and laughed, "I've always been very confident in my abilities, Father Anderson. In this world, as long as you have strength, you can live well no matter where you are."

“That’s right. But you can’t neglect your training in the character of a duelist, otherwise the stronger you are, the greater the harm you will cause—you should understand this deeply after your childhood experiences and this incident.”

"I understand, I understand, but don't worry. Neither Xiaoxi nor I would ever go astray."

“I’m not worried about the two of you, but I’m worried about someone else.”

Father Anderson's gaze fell on Izayoi Yuki, who was talking to Yuki about topics related to Izayoi Rose.

He then shook his head: "But with the two of you here, this girl should be fine, right? Anyway, Xingye, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

"Since you have won the Star Cup, that means all three of you can enter the Tower of the Four Heavens for training, right?"

Father Anderson said, "I just received news that the selection of the saintess has ended. Alicia has been chosen as the current saintess."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will meet at the Tower of the Four Heavens."

Chapter 286 The Saintess Selection and Xingyewu's True Card Deck

Western Conference Finals, Valhalla.

As the city where the Church of Angels is located, Valhalla is filled with churches, and the squares are adorned with angel statues of various sizes, creating a truly religious atmosphere.

In the very heart of the city stands the most important church.

That was the heart of the Church of Angels, so magnificent and grand that it could be called a palace. Apart from the first floor, which was used for worship by the most devout believers, the rest of the space was dedicated to offices.

As the young girl walked through the main entrance corridor, the faculty and nuns she encountered all bowed respectfully.

The girl named Alicia was very polite. Normally, she would have returned the greetings to each of them, but not today.

At this moment, she was wearing a flawless white dress. The pure white attire, rather than highlighting her beauty, accentuated her holiness and purity. Even so, it only enhanced her radiance against her stunning appearance.

This dress was not worn casually; it held great significance.

A group of guards, who were on her side, protected her, keeping the girl away from the countless believers along the way.

Without looking to the side, bathed in the colorful rain of flowers, she arrived at the chapel, guided by the person in front of her.

As soon as she entered, the young girl felt many eyes on her.

Many of them are important figures who are rarely seen in public, but some are not even in the public eye.

Instead, it is more lofty, carrying a sense of exploration.

She didn't react much to this; the girl was already used to this kind of gaze.
