Alice in her Puppet Maker form serves as a beneficial addition to the Puppet axis.

Although it's not as exaggerated as Spiritual Embracer Alice's enhancement to the Spiritual Energy axis, it's still not weak.

Puppet followers have many hand traps and graveyard traps, so it's easy to enter the exile zone due to their effects, and Shen Sui indeed needs a way to recover Puppet cards from the exile zone.

Because the nature of a Life Card Duel allows for infinite liberation, the Puppet follower cards recovered to the hand don't necessarily need to be discarded by a Spell Card effect to be sent to the graveyard. Shen Sui can also normal summon them and then liberate them to send the Puppet follower cards to the graveyard.

For example, you can normally summon Cursed Puppet Natasha from your hand, then liberate the Cursed Puppet on the field to send it to the graveyard, recovering the normal summon cost, completing a no-cost send to the graveyard, and then activate the effect of the Cursed Puppet in the graveyard to activate a Spell Card effect and start drawing.

With this small enhancement, Shen Sui can operate the Puppet axis a little more smoothly.

However, whether it's the Spiritual Energy axis or the Puppet axis, they essentially serve Shen Sui's development, with the exception of the Bound Holy Artifact Puppet Naphitaya. There aren't any major players in these axes, with Shen Sui's powerful followers primarily led by Qishala.

In fact, Shen Sui had thought about building a Dragon Race deck centered around Qishala or an Elf deck centered around Freymia.

After Martina joined, Shen Sui also considered constructing a Sea Race deck inspired by Pearl Tears.

But these ideas were quickly shelved by Shen Sui for the time being.

Although Dragon Race, Elf, and Sea Race cards have a delightful charm that greatly tempts Shen Sui, honestly, the levels are really high for Qishala and the others, making it particularly hard to draw new forms for them, so even if a deck was made, it might not be as smooth as using Alice.

The combination of Alice and the Golden Ship, paired with certain cards that can cause Spiritual Energy Form Transformation, has given Shen Sui the confidence to face top Life Card Masters from different countries on the world stage.

Replacing Alice with Qishala, who only has four or five forms and a high star level, would be tough unless Shen Sui later acquires a Dragon Race version of the Golden Ship; otherwise, it's hard to replicate the current methods.

But although it isn't realistic for now, Shen Sui hasn't given up on this idea.

In fact, with the messages brought by Vivian, Shen Sui's interest in other Soul Card Worlds has grown, and he might acquire more systems like the Spiritual Energy axis from outside the Dawn Continent in the future.

Shen Sui is growing fonder of this world.

It truly is full of endless possibilities.

Even though he's already invincible, he never gets bored.

If the Dawn Continent doesn't have a suitable follower system for Qishala or Freymia, Shen Sui can check out other Soul Card Worlds.

But that assumes he can find an entry point.

It's not like they can have Lady Antipus knock on each door, right?

Occasional invasions by the Boundary-breaking Worm could scare the worlds.

As Shen Sui was thinking about this, Alice on the other end of the Dueling Device seemed to be stirring up trouble again.

Alice, while handling the expenses, once again encountered that peculiar-speaking old man.

She wasn't surprised by it.

In fact, these past few days, Alice has been approached by this old man's faction, revealing a significant interest in the Dragon Race and Qishala.

[They are undoubtedly the Dragon God Sect that Oshana mentioned.]

[Oshana said they most hated Qishala.]

[As the Star Abyss White Dragon originating from the same source as the Dragon God, Qishala not only didn't think about reviving the Dragon God but even stopped it several times from recovering.]

As Shen Sui read this, he turned to Qishala and asked, "Did you really do that?"

He no longer believes in the information coming from Alice's network.

For someone so dedicated, to become known as a notorious playboy in Alice's intel network? Such information is definitely unreliable.

Qishala nodded and replied, "I did stop Mitole's recovery several times. Because that's not the Mitole I know."

Or rather, the Dragon God Mitole isn't the Mitole in Qishala's heart.

Shen Sui could generally understand Qishala's sentiment.

"Hmm, don't worry." Shen Sui patted Qishala's shoulder, "I'll return the true Mitole to you."

Qishala, still a bit doubtful, said, "Mitole's been bound by the Dragon God's divinity...."

Shen Sui thought for a moment and said, "It's not hard, as long as the divinity is removed, isn't it?"

It wouldn't be his first time dealing directly with a divinity.

He had used divinity when summoning Qishala.

And if he really did it, he might end up with two follower cards.

One being the Dragon God and the other Mitole, wouldn't that be delightful?

Qishala looked at Shen Sui with gratitude.

The real master, truly gentle.

Twilight Bishop's ruthlessness is more of an indifference while playing manipulation games.

Qishala, experiencing real-world games, understood better her master's performance on the Dawn Continent.

She pressed her hands against her chest, feeling the fervent beating of her heart.

What to do...she couldn't hold it...

Such a gentle master...I adore him!

Shen Sui noticed Qishala's warmth and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Qishala?"

Qishala's cheeks were slightly red, her lips trembling as she tried hard to suppress something.

Shen Sui blinked at Qishala's state.

Ah...our Dragon Maid seems to be struggling against bodily desires.

Shen Sui immediately understood.

No.

Such struggles are tough.

Shen Sui quietly set down the Dueling Device.

He decided to help Qishala.

******

In the evening, Shen Sui was woken up by Freymia.

"Did neither of you set an alarm for your nap?" Freymia looked at Qishala, yawning and tired. "How did Qishala oversleep as well; where's our dinner?"

Unflustered, Qishala showed her professionalism as a maid: "I'll prepare it right away."

Looking strangely at Qishala's back, Martina happily took a few cards out of the bubble and handed them to Shen Sui: "Look! We found these in the sea."

Shen Sui glanced at the cards Martina handed over.

They were all Life Cards.

They looked quite aged, the surfaces of the Life Cards had turned somewhat white.

It's fortunate that the materials used to make Life Cards are incredibly corrosion-resistant, otherwise Martina wouldn't have had the chance to pick them up.

"Why would there be Life Cards at the bottom of the sea?" Shen Sui wondered.

"I don't know." Martina replied truthfully, "However, it's not just Life Cards, I also found some human remains. They seemed like Life Card Masters, I saw Dueling Devices."

Shen Sui asked Martina for the location.

Martina had a unique advantage when it came to locating in the ocean and she directly stated a coordinate.

There, it was the depths of the ocean.

Why would the bodies of Life Card Masters appear there? There aren't any islands around.

Were they brought there by ocean currents? Or taken by a ship?

Shen Sui squinted, flipping through the Life Cards in his hand.

The Life Cards weren't very strong, but they could be used with some effort.

"There were many remains." Freymia added, "I saw over ten bodies myself, and who knows how many were devoured clean by sea creatures. I felt some traces of Extraordinary Power from these remains."

Ah....

Extraordinary Power again?

Shen Sui was no longer surprised.

He wondered what kind of reward the Exploration Bureau would give for such information?

Shen Sui had no doubt about the Exploration Bureau's generosity.

He looked down and checked the Dueling Device.

After "discussing" it with Qishala, Shen Sui clearly told Alice what she needed to do.

["Huh? Revive the Dragon God?" Alice looked at you in surprise, "Weren't you the one who killed Him?"]

["Ah, there's no choice, it was work back then." you explained, "If it's just Mitole, Qishala actually cares about it a lot too, I killed the Dragon God, not Mitole. The one you're reviving is Mitole, there's no need for the Dragon God to exist in this world."]

["I don't understand." Alice expressed her confusion.]

[Could it be that Claude is interested in the Dragon God?]

[That's possible, after all, according to legend, Claude doesn't discriminate by race.]

He was used to it.

Shen Sui clenched his fist.

He had already gotten used to Alice's accusatory inner voice.

["Anyway, you should first get in touch with the Dragon God Sect." you told Alice, "Additionally, you can also use this relationship to gain more power within the Master of Thunder Church, thus better protecting the Twilight Legion."]

It also allows for better exploitation of the Master of Thunder Church.

Shen Sui silently thought to himself.

[Alice patted her meager chest and assured: "Don't worry, this isn't difficult! I'm the most loyal follower of the Dragon God!"]

You're a follower of the Dragon God now?

Seeing Alice's words, Shen Sui couldn't help but laugh.

Is her faith really that flexible?

[Ding! You have obtained a Spell Card: Chameleon]

Chameleon?

Ah... in a sense, it's quite fitting.

Shen Sui glanced at the card that appeared.

This was a simple and straightforward card.

But simple and straightforward doesn't mean weak.

******

Card Name: [Chameleon]

Category: Spell Card

Star Level: 3 Stars

Effect: Once per turn during your turn, sacrifice half of your Life Value, allow one of your multi-form Followers on the field to undergo a Form Transformation.

******

Great job! Alice!

Shen Sui was filled with joy.

What he lacked most in his deck were cards that allowed Alice to undergo Form Transformation, and now here it is!

More of such cards, please!

Shen Sui was now less and less bothered by Alice wearing disguises.

The more disguises she wore, the higher the chance for Shen Sui to obtain cards with Form Transformation effects.

Just as Shen Sui was about to praise Alice, a message from Zhang Fang arrived.

Another day of Exploration Bureau missions.

They had discovered another Life Card Master of the All-Knowing.

This time, the opponent was not simple.

Shen Sui examined the opponent's information.

Duel Ghost.
