The fierce wind swept across the entire venue in an instant, making even the surrounding passersby feel something unusual.

Yuan Youxin felt something was wrong the moment Shen Sui activated the [Rebellion].

He wanted to activate the pit effect from his hand cards.

However, once the Event Card is activated, it doesn't exist on the field at all.

Yuan Youxin's card effect couldn't designate a target.

This is the characteristic of an Event Card.

Once activated, unless replaced by a new Event Card or its duration ends, no card can remove it.

Something's off.

Where is the problem?

After [Rebellion] was activated, the card disappeared, leaving only a simple mark in the center of both fields.

This is the mark of the Event Card, the numbers on it indicate the duration of the Event Card.

Yuan Youxin originally thought he had victory in his grasp.

After all, after activating [Enchanting Speech], Shen Sui had emptied his hand, and the cards in his graveyard couldn't stop Yuan Youxin from activating [Return] to summon back his follower.

But now, what is happening?

Luckily, unlike other cards, because Event Cards are akin to a state, Yuan Youxin can check its effects.

At first glance, Yuan Youxin almost thought Shen Sui was committing some kind of suicidal act.

After all, [Rebellion] seems like a card that makes the Life Card Master backstabbed by their own followers.

Then, after carefully considering, Yuan Youxin immediately sensed something subtle within the text.

The cards on the field of the turn owner are indeed controlled by the owner of the turn.

But what they control does not mean who owns them.

In all card games, the owner implies the true owner of the card itself.

Just like the Spell Card [Return] that Yuan Youxin took, he is the current controller who can pay the cost to use this Spell Card from his hand. But its owner is still Shen Sui, and after Yuan Youxin uses it, this [Return] goes into Shen Sui's graveyard.

So, who owns the four followers on Shen Sui's field?

.....

It's me....

Yuan Youxin was stunned.

TM, it turned out to be a chain trap!

Yuan Youxin twitched his mouth.

Meanwhile, Shen Sui had already ended the main phase.

Due to the effect of [Rebellion], he can't declare an attack.

Yet, everything was already over.

The moment the battle phase ended, Yuan Youxin felt an eerie atmosphere on the field.

All the [Cyan Seal] followers on the field looked at him with strange eyes.

"The supreme being does not define the value of the humble."

"The supreme words are not the standards of the humble."

"A supreme person is not born a master."

Shen Sui murmured, as if chanting some kind of incantation.

With his words, Yuan Youxin felt the followers he once faintly had a connection with completely broke free of his control.

They seemed to possess their own thoughts.

They seemed to want to kill the person controlling their fate from the shadows.

Such murderous intent gradually solidified, and a mysterious magic array slowly appeared behind Yuan Youxin.

He was locked on!

Locked as a target by his own followers.

Shen Sui looked at Yuan Youxin and slowly said, "The supreme can also defy."

"Kill your controllers, and become your own masters."

As his voice fell, the Cyan Seal followers on Shen Sui's field revealed their weapons.

At the moment when the sharp sword pierced the chest, Yuan Youxin felt a sense of panic.

He seemed to see the hatred toward himself in the eyes of his followers.

Am I that detestable?

Yuan Youxin doubted himself.

One strike.

Two strikes.

Three strikes....

When Su Tianyang's fist pierced through Yuan Youxin's heart, everything ended.

The value representing Yuan Youxin's Life Value instantly dropped to zero.

The marker indicating the outcome of the Life Card Duel appeared, signifying Shen Sui's victory in this duel.

However, Yuan Youxin seemed yet to shake off the fear from just now.

When the followers in front of him dissipated, his entire being lost its support, sinking weakly to the ground.

The judge looked at the pale-faced Yuan Youxin in surprise. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine." Yuan Youxin clutched his chest.

Though the attack just now wasn't real, he still felt uncomfortable.

"Are you alright?" Shen Sui walked to Yuan Youxin and extended his hand towards him.

Yuan Youxin looked at Shen Sui, took a deep breath, finally steadied his mind, and with a smile, scolded Shen Sui, "The cards you use are terrifying."

Shen Sui rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, this is a normal effect, okay? Did you do something guilty in the Soul Card World? You seem to look strange."

Yuan Youxin fell into silence.

Shen Sui exclaimed, "Did you really do something wrong?"

He noticed something was off with Yuan Youxin.

Yuan Youxin stayed silent for a long time, finally shook his head steadily, and said firmly, "I don't believe I did anything wrong. In such a world, such a choice is the only way to let everyone survive."

This was Yuan Youxin's secret, the secret that allowed him to obtain so many powerful Life Cards in such a short time.

World No. 5, in the eyes of outsiders, has always been a Martial World. Whether it's the natives of World No. 5 or the Life Card Masters in reality, they all believed so.

But only Yuan Youxin, or should I say Yuan Butong, knew, behind this surface of a martial arts world, lies a group of Immortals watching their sandbox figures perform.

The known World No. 5 is just the tip of the iceberg of that Soul Card World.

All the roles walking the martial world were but puppets manipulated by these bigshots.

They arbitrarily determined characters' destinies; a hero revered by all in one second could become a beggar begging on the streets the next because of an enemy's plot.

Those high-up Immortals wagered on the choices and growth of these puppets, freely shaping their lives according to their whims.

That day, when Yuan Butong climbed out from the grave, he saw it.

He saw those eyes in the sky, bigger than the sun and moon.

That was the gaze of the Immortal surprised he survived, curiously observing Yuan Butong, and then, like crushing an ant, intending to crush this pawn straying from the plan.

Yuan Youxin activated the Time Regulator, barely allowing Yuan Butong to fake death and escape with that slight time gap.

After that, Yuan Youxin knew part of the truth of the world. He didn't know how to explain the known World No. 5 being just a small box. To the Life Card Masters in reality, it probably sounded like a wild tale.

Thus, Shen Sui's [Rebellion] disrupted Yuan Youxin's mind.

Can even the supreme be defied?

Then what about us?

Are we, the Life Card Masters, considered supreme beings in the eyes of the Soul Cards?
