Alice didn't immediately kill Diluo.

Because Shen Sui spoke up to stop her.

In matters like this, Alice was ruthlessly out of character with her cute appearance. She would directly kill someone planning to sacrifice an entire city.

Alice glanced at the church, which was already set ablaze. She had no intention of putting out the fire but stood by, watching Shen Sui approach the black shadow on the wall with great curiosity.

It was a man who seemed very young. His own strength was not very strong; without the mysterious power acting from within the shadow, whether he could approach Alice was unknown.

That sinister dagger?

Shen Sui glanced at the bright red dagger in Alice's hand, pondering.

As he walked up to the man, Shen Sui immediately determined his identity.

This kind of person, who could act as a gateway into other worlds, had an aura that couldn't be concealed. Shen Sui saw it at a glance.

So it seems, Diluo was indeed a Soul Card.

Shen Sui squatted down and laid his hand on the man's forehead.

Invasion from Another World was a very simple task for Shen Sui, especially when he didn't have to worry about the other person's life.

With just a gentle press, he had already occupied the opponent's body—the body in the real world.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw a room that seemed well-decorated.

The sound of waves crashing came from outside the window.

The floor and ceiling were swaying.

It seemed this person was on a cruise ship.

"How about it, Katoke?" Shen Sui turned toward the voice; the speaker was a bald, muscular man, "Your Soul Card should be fine, right?"

The muscular man noticed Shen Sui's gaze and frowned slightly.

Then, in the next instant, a gun appeared in his hand.

Boom!

With the sound of a gunshot, Shen Sui's vision went pitch black.

Shen Sui's consciousness returned to the Dawn Continent once more.

"How decisive," Shen Sui said, curling his lips in boredom.

Opening fire so decisively, just because of a wrong expression, to kill a member of the organization?

This Descent Association was not at all simple, it seemed.

Shen Sui hadn't even had time to channel his power over.

Thinking this, Shen Sui let go of his hand.

The individual in the real world was already dead, but this wouldn't affect the one on Dawn Continent. Similarly, if the operating character in the Soul Card World died, it wouldn't cost the Life Card Master their life, but losing the ability to contact the Soul Card World would almost mean the death of their career.

"How about it, Claude?" Alice tiptoed behind Shen Sui, poking her head over to glance at the man on the ground, and asked.

Shen Sui shook his head, "I'll leave the rest to you."

"But..." Alice pointed to Diluo nearby, and said softly, "On him, there seems to be a symbol you should be very familiar with."

A very familiar symbol?

Shen Sui felt puzzled, then leaned in to take a look.

Indeed, it was very familiar.

Because that was evidently the symbol of the Twilight Council.

This guy was a member of the Twilight Council?

No.

Shen Sui quickly arrived at a negative conclusion.

Soon, Alice found more evidence from Diluo.

Diluo indeed belonged to the Twilight Council, but not the original council. Instead, it was a very radical organization formed under the faith of the Twilight Saintess; they manically wanted to resurrect the imagined Twilight Saintess Vivian.

If Vivian knew that people were sacrificing innocent lives to resurrect her, she would likely be heartbroken.

"I understand," Shen Sui said, "There's no need to show mercy when meeting these people in the future."

Alice saw Shen Sui's attitude and understood what to do.

Shen Sui turned away, bidding farewell to Martina, and his consciousness quickly returned to the real world.

Martina knew Shen Sui was displeased, which is why he left in a hurry.

The Twilight Council was Vivian's ideal, a highly idealized organization jointly established by him and Vivian.

It might not be perfect, and there might be occasional infighting among members, but everyone in it initially had a lofty goal.

Their pursuit was to create a world without gods.

Not to create a new supreme god.

Shen Sui opened his eyes. Tan Song was discussing the follow-up review matters with Wang Ming.

He still didn't know what tasks the Exploration Bureau wanted to assign him.

Shen Sui took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and frustration in his heart.

He needed to dispel this negative emotion.

"Is it over?" Bu Pei noticed Shen Sui's actions and asked curiously.

Shen Sui nodded and said, "It's ready."

After speaking, he looked at Tan Song and said, "We can duel now."

Tan Song noticed the actions on Shen Sui's side and also saw the expression on his face.

He immediately stopped his conversation with Wang Ming and asked, "What's wrong? You look unhappy. Did something happen with the Soul Card?"

Shen Sui slowly shook his head and said, "The Soul Card is fine."

"I just feel like playing cards."

Something is definitely up!

Everyone present immediately had the same thought.

People who love dueling will duel whenever they are happy or unhappy.

Shen Sui is undoubtedly such a person.

He is in such a hurry to duel.

He is either extremely happy.

Or very unhappy.

Tan Song grinned and didn't refuse, revealing his dueling device: "Alright, I've been wanting to try your deck for a long time!"

His Soul Card was always causing problems in the beginning, and Tan Song was anxious and often frustrated during that time. Thus, he frequently relied on dueling to vent his frustrations. Much of his dueling experience was accumulated back then.

Having gone through it, Tan Song could very much understand Shen Sui's feelings.

As a senior professional Life Card Master, Tan Song also felt he should help Shen Sui.

A real duel between Life Card Masters doesn't require lengthy dialogue, just a glance is enough to start the duel.

"Great!" Bu Pei, seeing that the duel he'd been anticipating for so long was finally about to begin, immediately jumped off his bench and went over to the equipment to quickly activate the projection device.

Actually, this kind of professional dueling projection equipment is maintained by professional personnel, and there are dedicated staff to start up the equipment. But Bu Pei refused these services because he wanted to be involved in every aspect of the duel.

As the dueling equipment started, subtle changes occurred across the rooftop under the projection.

The white lines on the original helicopter landing pad disappeared, replaced by a meadow resembling an immortal realm.

"This is...." Shen Sui watched the projection suddenly appear and slightly twitched his mouth, "Did you customize a field skin?"

Such large dueling projection equipment supports private customization, after all, you have to pay attention to the client's dueling experience.

However, some official competitions use the most standard fields to avoid excuses like "This field skin affects my mood."

In this world, there are quite a few Life Card Masters who can't afford to lose. After losing a duel, they look for all kinds of excuses besides blaming themselves—there are especially many of these types in the world championships.

When they return home, they claim that the reason for losing is that they couldn't adapt to the competition venue, and then their fans would bombard the event organizers.

As a result, influential tournaments later on adopted default fields uniformly.

But those competitions originally held for advertising purposes would often use fields with skins.

A set of customized field skins doesn't come cheap.

"Ah, since we're using the equipment, we should have it all," Bu Pei scratched his head and said, "If you don't like it, should I switch the field skin for you?"

Does this guy have more than one skin?

Bu Pei, who usually doesn't seem to use the equipment much, can only be indulgent because the rich man has money.

In the time it took to talk, Bu Pei had already switched to a dueling field unfurled on the wing of an airplane for Shen Sui.

Shen Sui, upon seeing this field, couldn't hold back: "What mindset do you have to come up with such a skin? Is there really anyone in the world who would duel on the wing of a plane?"

Bu Pei chuckled awkwardly and quickly explained, "Isn't it just to make it seem more thrilling? Like in movies where the protagonist and antagonist have their final showdown on a plane."

While talking, Bu Pei changed the field background again.

Shen Sui listened to the roaring train sounds around him and glanced at the black smoke coming out from the engine at the front, and now it was a skin on top of a train.

Looking at the truly lifelike train image seemingly rolling forward, it really felt like a berserker's soul was present.

"Switch it back to the default!" Shen Sui was already starting to regret letting Bu Pei arrange the dueling field.

Tan Song's contacts with the Exploration Bureau were confidential, not suitable for dueling in public, so Shen Sui asked Bu Pei to find a more private dueling venue, which led them to Bu Pei's villa. But little did he know, Bu Pei had prepared a flashy setup.

Bu Pei was a bit reluctant; he spent so much money on field skins with the hope of one day using them. But being told not to use them during a long-awaited duel was worse than killing him.

Tan Song looked helplessly at the two arguing over field skins.

Ultimately, under Shen Sui's insistence, Bu Pei reluctantly returned it to the original skin.

Shen Sui took a deep breath at the familiar site.

This feels right.

"Alright." Shen Sui looked at Tan Song and said, "We can start now."

Tan Song immediately got into the right mindset.

Although this isn't a competition, Tan Song would never go easy.

Shen Sui is not just any ordinary fifth-tier Life Card Master, and although An Hai never admitted it, Tan Song suspected that An Hai might have lost to Shen Sui.

After all, An Hai had defeated him not long ago.

Let me see, just how much potential you have, Shen Sui!

As the white light appeared, the duel officially began.

The first move belongs to Shen Sui.
