Chapter 109 I don't have the habit of using top-tier cards outside of duels (4K)

Was I set up?

Upon hearing Vera's words, Shen Yi's first thought was this.

However, he quickly remembered that the invitation in his hand was originally meant for Princess Kuju.

In other words—

If we're really talking about setting a trap, the target should have been Princess Kuju; instead, I ended up taking the blame for her.

While Pei Minghong was pretending to organize the lottery, countless thoughts raced through Shen Yi's mind.

Ji Shi Ji is certainly not worth the Pei family targeting her like this, after all, she is not a main duelist of the Ji family.

So, why would the other party choose Princess Kuju?

After much thought, Shen Yi felt that this matter was inextricably linked to the Lord of the Broken Sword.

Just then, the area where Shen Yi was located was illuminated.

"Well then! Let's welcome our lucky audience member today!"

Pei Minghong pointed to where Shen Yi was.

When he saw Shen Yi, a fleeting look of surprise crossed his face.

Clearly, the lottery result was not what he expected.

However, the moment the result was announced, Shen Yi's body began to fall uncontrollably.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the stage.

"This stage seems to be trying to brainwash you," Vera's voice echoed in Shen Yi's mind, "but I blocked it all."

Brainwashing?

Shen Yi narrowed his eyes.

Does that mean that if Kujira doesn't come to explain the situation today, and I don't get her invitation from her, I'll be all alone when I wake up tomorrow morning in the entire Qingyu Society?

Damn it, can't these guys just play a proper card game?

They insist on doing this kind of messy stuff.

"Ah~! Our lucky audience member today is a very handsome young man~!" Pei Minghong had already adjusted his expression.

It seems there must be some kind of rule in this Starlight Theater that forces Pei Minghong to act according to the predetermined script.

Seeing Pei Minghong continue to speak according to the script, Shen Yi had a sudden realization.

Compared to Pei Minghong's enthusiasm, Shen Yi's attitude was far less friendly.

He tried his best to remain calm.

He Kan's situation is still unclear, and I cannot act rashly.

Vera's power could only ensure her own safe exit, but it couldn't protect He Kan.

I've already marked the seats.

Vera seemed to have seen through Shen Yi's thoughts.

[Once we get out, the fireball will explode, and it'll definitely reveal some clues.]

Vera seemed very confident in the power of this fireball spell.

[Won't this scatter everyone here?]

[Probably not. Mother's fireball spell is very intelligent; it rarely attacks innocent people except for enemies and herself.]

What is an intelligent fireball spell? Can it attack itself?

As Shen Yi was still wondering, Pei Minghong's voice rang out again: "A wonderful duel naturally cannot be separated from a beautiful prize!"

Pei Minghong raised his hand and pointed to the center of the stage.

As the curtain slowly rose, the figure of a beautiful young woman appeared before everyone's eyes.

He Kan trembled slightly the moment he saw the other person.

Shen Yi also narrowed his eyes.

As expected—

Looking at the unconscious Qianxun, Shen Yi clenched his fist almost imperceptibly.

"Come on! Let's duel!"

"The winner of the duel will take this beautiful lady away!" Pei Minghong said excitedly.

"Then, please begin your duel." He spread his arms.

Shen Yi and He Kan's identity cards lit up at the same time.

Another forced duel.

It seems this is indeed how the Lord of the Stars regained his power.

Shen Yi pondered in his heart, his gaze falling on He Kan opposite him.

He Kan was also looking at him at this moment, but there was no light in his eyes.

Having gained the initiative, he mechanically drew his initial hand of cards.

His hand trembled as he drew the card.

His soul seemed to be constantly struggling within his stiff body.

However, even so, his development showed no signs of stopping.

One by one, idol follower cards appeared on his stage through his exchanges.

All the girls recognized Shen Yi.

They opened their mouths, but no sound came out.

They were crying, but Shen Yi couldn't hear any sobs.

Something blocked their voices and turned He Kan into a mere card-playing machine.

"Their potential is being stripped away." Vera's voice echoed in Shen Yi's mind once again.

"What do you mean?"

"I think I understand how the Lord of the Stars controls them now."

Vera didn't sit idle while Shen Yi took the stage; instead, she began to analyze the essence of this Starlight Theater.

"It has written a script for everyone, leaving them only a predetermined path to death, and all the possibilities that originally belonged to them have been taken away by it and turned into nourishment for the Lord of the Stars."

Since the script has already been written, the "actors'" every move is clearly defined, and their performance is as if they have been controlled and brainwashed.

So————

What kind of script did this theater assign to Hime Kuju?

Just as Shen Yi was wondering what was going on, He Kan's speech suddenly stopped.

He Kan did not continue to play any cards or activate any card effects; he simply stood there quietly.

What happened?

"He seems to be—" Vera said with some surprise.

Before Vera could finish speaking, Shen Yi saw He Kan raise his hand tremblingly and draw a card from his deck.

The next second, all the idol minions on the field were released.

An adorable chibi version of Chihiro appeared on Shen Yi's field.

This derivative inherits the Spirit value of all the freed idol followers, totaling 8210 Spirit value.

Shen Yi actually knew about this card.

This is arguably He Kan's most signature tactic.

When the opponent attacks, merge all your minions on the field into one and use extremely high spirit points to resist the opponent's attack.

However, generally speaking, this derivative should be summoned onto He Kan's own field.

Because he also has an instant spell card in his hand that releases tokens and then summons cards whose total spirit value is no greater than the token's spirit value.

Shen Yi also had a deep memory of this set, because it was very similar to fusion and fusion release.

"His mind briefly broke free from the theater's control!" Vera said to Shen Yi in surprise.

You must know, this is the lord of all stars.

Although they were far inferior to her sisters in Vera's eyes, they were an existence that ordinary people like He Kan could neither look at directly nor fight against.

Having done all that, He Kan ended the round directly.

Then he stood there dejectedly, as if he had simply hung up the game.

Shen Yi looked at the derivative character on his field that looked just like Chihiro.

This derivative product was reportedly designed by He Kan and Qian Xun together.

The derivative is wearing a cute white dress, which looks like a wedding dress.

The idol duelists who entered the theater, along with their idols, all disappeared from the world without exception.

"Do you want me to take Chihiro out of here?"

Shen Yi muttered to himself.

He understood what He Kan meant.

"I see."

"My turn! Draw a card!"

Outside the dueling area, Pei Minghong seemed to realize that something was wrong with He Kan.

Why did this duelist suddenly show signs of losing control?

However, before he could react, Shen Yi within the domain had already begun his turn.

Shen Yi glanced at his hand.

He Kan's intentions are already quite clear.

He already knew his fate, so he wanted to take Chihiro out of the theater.

He Kan's desire was so strong that it even briefly freed him from the control of the theater.

Since that was the case, Shen Yi no longer hesitated.

No one knows how the theater will respond next.

When Shen Yi appeared on stage, the Starlight Theater must have already noticed something was wrong.

Vera then started shouting in Shen Yi's ear, "This theater has come to life!"

"The stars in the sky have started to move!"

But the closer it got to this point, the calmer Shen Yi became.

He did not recklessly enter the battle phase and launch a direct attack.

At this point, He Kan had regained control of the theater.

So, Shen Yi flipped over the minion card at the top of the minion deck.

Leia cheered as she entered Shen Yi's arena.

"Huh? The atmosphere here is a bit strange—" The little elf looked around in confusion.

Shen Yi didn't have time to explain anything to Leia, and flipped over the minion deck again.

Nangong Ai appeared on the stage.

She glanced at the chibi version of Chihiro on her field and was slightly taken aback. Then, when she looked up, she saw He Kan on the opposite side.

Ah Yi is having a duel with Chihiro's boyfriend?

Is it a competition?

Xiao Ai quickly realized something was wrong, because she immediately spotted Chihiro outside the duel area.

"Senior?! How could this be—" Xiao Ai stared wide-eyed in surprise, covering her mouth and unable to speak.

"The Love Pill is complicated," Shen Yi said to Xiao Ai. "After we win this duel, I'll explain it to you when we get back."

Xiao Ai didn't ask any more questions and nodded firmly.

Shen Yi then released Leia and Xiao Ai, initiating a second summons.

With the Chihiro derivative, Shen Yi's kill count is already sufficient.

What he needs to guard against is He Kan's cover and grave pit.

Fortunately, both of these issues were easy for Shen Yi to resolve.

Accompanied by the light of the summons, the sage puppet Sona answered Shen Yi's call and came onto the field.

Shen Yi didn't hesitate. He activated the spell card he had in his hand, banishing Nangong Ai and Special Summoning Ilovena as well.

Activating Ilovena's effect pushes the missing Emilia from the deck into the graveyard, while adjusting the card order to allow Sona's effect to be fully utilized.

At this moment, Vera's urgent voice rang in Shen Yi's ears.

"Shi Kong has noticed us, Ah Yi, hurry up."

Shen Yi's expression hardened, and he quickened his pace.

He decisively activated Sona's effect, successfully declaring the card name and sending all the cards he needed in his spell zone to the graveyard, which had been regained control of his opponent, He Kan.

Then, activate the effect of the card owed to Emil in the graveyard, return her to the deck, and then have both players exchange the cards owed in the graveyard and banished zone.

After completing this task, Shen Yi decisively entered the combat phase.

He ordered Qianxun's derivatives to attack He Kan directly.

He Kan stiffly raised his hand, seemingly wanting to retaliate.

However, without a pit, he no longer had enough resources to mobilize.

"I will get you out of here," Shen Yi said to He Kan, who was slowly falling down.

"I don't have the habit of using high-level cards outside of duels."

"You should keep Chihiro for yourself."

As his health points reached zero, the duel arena shattered.

The moment he left the dueling area, Shen Yi felt his feet sink, as if a thousand tons of pressure were instantly applied to him.

Looking up, the once dazzling Oath Sky had become dark, and a huge, terrifying figure stood above it, looking down over the entire Oath Light Theater.

Chihiro on the stage transformed into a card and entered Shen Yi's hand.

Just as Pei Minghong was about to say something, he saw Shen Yi suddenly turn around and give him a deep look: "We'll be using the padding soon."

Shen Yi said this.

Although the man showed no signs of panic, Pei Minghong felt a sudden sense of impending crisis in that instant.

"The show isn't over yet—"

He said this almost unconsciously.

The man in front of her waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't have time to play with you guys anymore. You'll have to wait."

What does "See you later" mean?

Pei Minghong was taken aback.

However, he quickly realized that this man was probably in cahoots with Kai Shiji and He Kan.

Want to find the version of yourself that reality is failing you?

Ha ha!

Wherever the light of oath shines, I am protected by the Lord of Oath.

Do you want to find me using ordinary or even extraordinary means?

A fool's dream.

The next second, Shen Yi turned into a ray of light and disappeared before Pei Minghong's eyes.

As the protagonist leaves the stage in the next scene, the entire Starlight Theater begins to disintegrate, and Pei Minghong, in a daze, also loses consciousness.

When Shen Yi opened his eyes again, he and Vera were already back on the beacon tower.

After a brief moment of disorientation, he looked at Vera beside him and asked, "What kind of love pills are inside now?"

Because of the appearance of the Lord of Oaths, Vera immediately forcibly pulled Shen Yi out of the Starlight Theater.

"Your departure caused the theater to collapse," Vera sensed for a moment, then replied. "After the theater collapsed, all the audience members were also sent out, and they must have been affected as well—"

However, Vera could not clarify this impact.

She didn't come here specifically to do this kind of work.

If all else fails, try asking Lulu.

Seeing so many people potentially infected by the gods, Vera had already made a decision.

As they spoke, a beam of light shone across the earth.

The bright light seemed to sweep away all the darkness from this wounded city.

The warmth briefly calmed Shen Yi's anxious heart.

He squinted at the enormous sun in the distance.

"Has a whole night already passed like this?"

Shen Yi murmured.

The sun was rising right after I left the theater.

As he spoke, he glanced down at his ID card.
