Chapter 653 453: Let the Joyful Infinite Brawl Begin!
Shen Sui paid half of his Life Value, then allowed Ji Bubai to choose a Life Card from the graveyard and return it to his hand.
"Then I choose a Follower·Spell Card slot on your field and gain control of it." Shen Sui said, pointing to a spell card slot on Ji Bubai's field, "The control of the card slot gained this way will return to your field at the start of your main phase."
What's the use in that?
Ji Bubai thought instinctively.
Then you could hear Shen Sui continue, "Then, because [Land Reclamation] caused a Life Card to leave your graveyard, I activate the effect of [Goddess of Death Arianna], send a Follower Card from my deck to the graveyard, and once again execute the effect of [Land Reclamation]."
Shen Sui executed the effect again, allowing Ji Bubai to choose another Life Card from the graveyard and return it to his hand, and Shen Sui gained control of another card slot on Ji Bubai's field.
This time, Shen Sui did not need to pay half of his Life Value to execute the effect.
Because Arianna executed the effect again, Shen Sui didn't need to pay the cost.
Similarly, the premise for Arianna to trigger this effect is "when a card effect causes a Life Card to leave the graveyard," with the key being a card effect, so when [Cursed Puppet Natasha] excludes itself, it can't trigger Arianna's effect because excluding itself is considered a cost, not an effect.
Arianna's effect doesn't have a once-per-turn restriction.
Therefore, when the effect of [Land Reclamation] is activated once more, the effect of enabling Ji Bubai to retrieve a Life Card from the graveyard triggers the activation condition of [Goddess of Death Arianna] again, allowing Shen Sui to send another Follower Card from the deck to the graveyard and activate Arianna's effect again to trigger [Land Reclamation].
And so, Ji Bubai continues to retrieve Life Cards from the graveyard.
Due to the effect of [Mermaid Guardian God Martina], Shen Sui activated [Wilderness March] twice, leading to ten Life Cards in Ji Bubai's graveyard.
And then, everyone watched as Shen Sui paid the cost only once, yet activated [Land Reclamation] ten times.
As Ji Bubai retrieved the last Life Card from his graveyard, Shen Sui achieved an unprecedented, and likely never-to-be-repeated, accomplishment: he dominated all of his opponent's card slots.
Unfortunately, this will only last until the opponent's main phase begins, otherwise it would have been an instant victory.
But either way, the show was spectacularly delivered.
And it's not over yet.
Shen Sui immediately activated the effect of the [Miniature Eavesdropping Puppet] put into the graveyard by Arianna's effect, executing an effect once per turn, selecting two Spell Cards from the deck and sending them to the graveyard to activate, allowing Shen Sui to retrieve a Spell Card from both graveyards.
Shen Sui opened his deck and sent two Permanent Spell Cards to the graveyard.
One was [Neutral Agreement] given to him by Vivian, and the other was [Elemental Suffocation] created by Alice during the Roland City explosion incident.
Then, activating [Miniature Eavesdropping Puppet]'s effect, Shen Sui retrieved [Neutral Agreement] from the graveyard.
At the same time, because [Neutral Agreement] left Shen Sui's graveyard due to a card effect, Arianna's effect triggered again, sending another Follower Card from the deck to the graveyard to activate, and executing the effect of [Miniature Eavesdropping Puppet] again, Shen Sui retrieved another Permanent Spell Card, [Elemental Suffocation], from the graveyard.
Shen Sui directly activated these two Permanent Spell Cards, but the place where they were activated was in Ji Bubai's Magic Area.
"I end my turn." After activating the two Permanent Spell Cards, Shen Sui ended his turn without hesitation.
Arianna's Spirit Value is calculated as the number of Followers in both graveyards times 800.
Ji Bubai's Life Cards have already been moved to his hand due to the effect of Land Reclamation, meaning Arianna's Spirit Value entirely relied on Shen Sui's graveyard.
[Land Reclamation] generated nine Follower Cards for Arianna, and [Miniature Eavesdropping Puppet] added one more, together with the original Martina, along with three Puppets sent to the graveyard — Sacrificial Puppet and Cursed Puppet, leading to a total of fifteen Follower Cards, boosting Arianna's Spirit Value to a terrifying 12,000 points.
"Goddess of Death Arianna is unaffected by the effects of other cards." Shen Sui smiled as he spoke to Ji Bubai.
Ji Bubai laughed, "Full immunity, huh? But no worries, thanks for all those Life Cards you sent me. Even against a fully immune powerhouse, I have a way to solve it for you!"
Saying this, Ji Bubai announced the start of his turn.
He drew a card from his deck.
As Ji Bubai began his main phase, those card slots that Shen Sui had dominated smoothly returned to him, and simultaneously, the Permanent Spell Cards Shen Sui used on those slots also came under Ji Bubai's control.
"Haha! Not playing well, God of Age ended up losing out."
"Hold on, don't jump to conclusions! If these were beneficial Permanent Spell Cards, there's no way God of Age would place them on Ji Bubai's field. This must be God of Age's scheme!"
"How could anyone carry Permanent Spell Cards with negative effects? This must be God of Age mocking Ji Bubai."
"Not necessarily, doesn't God of Age know the duration of his own Spell Cards' effects?"
As the audience and netizens discussed, Ji Bubai began to examine the Permanent Spell Cards Shen Sui had left on his field.
