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

"Xingye, this is for you."

"Huh? What's this?"

Xing Yewu was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously reached out to take it. Then, the familiar and comforting feeling transmitted through her hand made her realize something.

Her expression shifted instantly to one of nostalgia, mixed with surprise.

"Alicia, why did you take this out?"

"After becoming a saintess, I gained considerable authority within the Church of Angels. Although I am not as powerful as His Holiness the Pope, I am comparable to the Cardinal and can make decisions on some matters."

Alicia smiled and explained, "So don't worry, Xingye, there are no hidden dangers. Even if you are no longer a saintess, you are still a follower of the Angel Church. This identity will never change. It's definitely better for you to use this deck rather than let it gather dust in your inventory."

"...Oh dear, Alicia, you've put it this far, it would seem pretentious if I didn't accept. Well then, I won't be polite."

do as promised.

Without any hesitation or refusal, the blonde girl immediately accepted the card box.

Having heard about Hoshino Mai's past before, Yuki guessed something: "Mai, that is..."

"That's right, it's the real deck I used when I was in the Church of Angels."

Xingye Wu smiled and shook the card box in her hand: "You don't know what this deck is yet, do you, Xiaoxi? I'll give you a big surprise when we get back."

surprise……

"OK OK."

The young sage suddenly clapped her hands, interrupting their conversation.

"You've said everything you needed to say, right? If you have anything else to say, please wait a moment. This isn't the place for your tea party."

"Too."

Hearing Wei'er's deliberate reminder to leave, You Xi and the others knew they couldn't stay any longer.

After bidding farewell to Vera, they returned to the first floor of the Tower of the Four Heavens via the teleportation array she had activated. Then, as previously agreed, Yuki and Alicia entered the Fusion and Pendulum Gates respectively, while Hoshino Mai was monitored by Izayoi Yuki as she entered the Xyz Gate. Finally, the white-haired girl chose the Synchro Gate—since she majored in Synchro, she naturally wouldn't act recklessly like Hoshino Mai did on a whim.

After Yu Xi and her group left, the young sage who had been entertaining them for so long couldn't wait to teleport back to her private room in the tower.

The room was already stocked with a whole cabinet of snacks, including candies, chocolates, egg tarts, and all sorts of other treats.

Wei'er lay back and nestled into the incredibly soft sofa, almost sinking into it, her eyes narrowed in a blissful expression.

"Ah, it's finally over. Now we can finally start playing. Let's see where we left off with 'Duel Detective' again."

With a gentle tap of the little hand, a 3D screen appeared out of thin air.

While enjoying the air conditioning and munching on potato chips, Wei'er was engrossed in watching a TV series when suddenly another screen popped up, blocking the television.

On the screen was a young man with pale white hair.

Chapter 298 Senior Aleister!

"Hi! Sandriyon..."

"I go!"

The young man with the white hair had a bright and cheerful smile. He had just raised his hand to greet someone on the screen when he was abruptly interrupted.

Vera leaned back on the sofa, her delicate face full of disdain and dissatisfaction: "Why did you suddenly appear out of nowhere? Don't you know we were watching the most exciting part of the TV show?!"

"How could I possibly know that?"

Faced with Vera's furious rebuke, the young man merely shrugged, his nonchalant attitude clearly showing that he didn't take the young sage's words to heart.

Moreover, they immediately launched a counterattack—

"Also, shouldn't you be in charge of the operation of the Four Heavens Tower right now? Judging by the time, everyone who came to participate in the Tower Trial should have arrived by now. You're actually slacking off here? Is that really okay?"

"Hmm...what does it matter!"

Caught red-handed slacking off, Vera's expression stiffened for a moment, then she said matter-of-factly, "Anyway, it doesn't make any difference whether we look or not. These humans are just doing the same things as before. Wasting time on this is truly meaningless. Besides, there's still the warning system, right? If anything unexpected happens, we can deal with it then."

"This doesn't sound like something a sage would say."

"Enough with the chit-chat! We're in charge of the Four Heavens Tower now, and what we do is none of your business!" Vera forcefully changed the subject. "Speaking of which, why did you suddenly show up? Don't you know that scaring people can be deadly, Aleister?"

"First of all, we are not ordinary humans, so the problems that humans have will not happen to us. Secondly, I didn't call you here just because I had nothing better to do."

"Then get to the point. Speak your mind."

"Fine, fine. Seriously, I've been your best friend for most of my life, and you won't even give me a kind look?"

"Heh, if it were Endymion here, it would be fine, but why should we give you a friendly look, you little brat?"

You look more like a little kid right now.

The young man called Aleister silently complained to himself, but then stopped while he was ahead and put on a rather serious expression.

"Alright—let's stop joking. You've probably already met that human, Sandriyon."

"Oh, you mean him? I have met him."

"How are you feeling? Are you alright?"

"My skills are barely up to par, but I'm still a bit green."

Seeing that Aleister was getting down to business, Vera stopped trying to maintain her usual flippant persona.

With a casual tap of her short, loli-like finger, another 3D image window opened next to Aleister.

The figure shown inside was the boy who had temporarily separated from Izayoi Yuki and the others.

It seems that Izumi Yuuki is currently facing a trial, battling an examiner spirit named "Horus". Once she passes the test, she will probably be able to recruit the "Horus" series to her team.

This was not a difficult task for You Xi.

After sending the video footage, along with the previous duel video of Yuxi and Alicia, to Aleister, Vera said, "We've seen that Millennium Puzzle. It's definitely not a counterfeit product; it's from the same lineage as the Millennium Scales. Besides that, the God Card power hidden within him, and other deeper things, are also very interesting, but for now, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"That child may need some time to fully realize his potential."

"Yeah."

Aleister quickly scanned through the information and test data that Vera had sent him, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How do you think he compares to those two people from before?"

"Didn't I say? Izumi Yuuki is still very green."

Vera hugged her little arms and frowned, saying, "Those two are already in their completed state, and one of them even has our parallel individual with him. How can Izumi Yuuki compare to them now?"

"Even if this Izumi Yuuki might actually possess three legendary cards at the same time?"

"It's not like it's the 'Creator God of Light,' just a mere illusionary god. We've dealt with beings of that level before."

Vera pouted, clearly showing her dislike for the so-called god.

Despite her appearance as a 1.3-meter-tall human girl, she has actually lived for thousands of years.

Over such a long period of time, I have witnessed countless landscapes and magnificent beings. Not to mention, beneath this tower lies something far more terrifying than any phantom god.

As seekers of knowledge in the realm of demonic cultivation, nothing can inspire awe in them except for the principles of heaven and true knowledge.

Aleister did not refute this.

Although the four sages may have pursued different ideals and paths, their pride in this regard was exactly the same.

So-called gods are indeed nothing to fear.

“Comparing Izumi Yuuki to those two freaks is like comparing her to the Kaibaman. At least there’s some comparison between them. Assuming the Kaibaman was a 100 in his prime, Izumi Yuuki is at least an 80 now,” Vera said.

"This is quite a good review."

Aleister laughed and said, "If this is the level in normal conditions, it's not impossible for him to rival the Seahorse in his extreme burst state."

"—Hey, Aleister."

Staring at Aleister's smiling face, Vera suddenly blurted out, "You're not planning to do something bad, are you?"

"No, I'm just happy about it. Why would you think that?"

"It's fine if you don't."

Wei'er snorted, "I thought you were going to have another episode, so I had to give you another personality correction and friendship-breaking punch."

"Ah—let's forget about that. That punch from a thousand years ago hurt enough; I have no interest in going through that again."

As if recalling some unpleasant past event, Aleister waved his hand with great reluctance.

"However, although I don't intend to do anything, it's undeniable that we don't have much time left, Sandriyon. The day of the prophecy is drawing ever closer, and if we don't make some preparations now, it will be too late."

"We know that's why the D Alliance is holding more and more competitions and building more and more dueling academies every year. If the Tower of the Four Heavens could open only once every five years, it would definitely be open every year."

Vera said, "Well, we've done all we can. The rest depends on Izumi Yuuki and the efforts of the duelists of this world."

"It seems this is the only way for now."

Aleister wasn't particularly concerned about this; if the final prophecy didn't affect him, he didn't really want to get involved. He was just personally quite interested in Izumi Yuuki, this otherworldly being.

But now that Wei'er is in charge, he doesn't intend to interfere.

"Well, that's all for me. Sandriyong, you can continue slacking off—"

Aleister was about to hang up when suddenly the screen went black, and the last "ba" was cut off at the other end of the screen.

So abrupt and awkward.

Vera, who was already impatient with her conversation with Aleister, paused for a moment, and then a bad feeling arose in her heart.

"Huh? What's going on? Could it be...!"

The next moment, the room was filled with a blinding red light, an alarm coming from inside the Tower of Four Heavens.

Someone has broken into the tower.

Chapter 299 Intruder - Kaiba Aoto

The towering tower of the four heavens, within the trial space.

"—Found it, is this it?"

Walking down the wide corridor, Amagi Naruto, who had just completed a trial, bent down, touched what appeared to be a spot on the ground, and then looked down at the watch on his wrist.

Besides displaying the time, watches can do many other things.
