Chapter 387 Left Foot Stepping on Right Foot
Qi'er's new form has a kind of transcendental magnificence, but Yu Cang is more concerned about something else at this time.
Yu Cang said seriously: "Qi'er, can you exit this state now?"
“Yeah… sure!”
"Exit first."
The girl nodded and then gently closed her eyes.
The air fell silent, and no one spoke.
It can be seen that Qi'er is not yet proficient in this new ability he has just mastered. His little brows are furrowed, and he seems to be constantly trying something.
Seeing this, Yu Cang couldn't help but become nervous.
Mirage Dragon is a banned card, so using it will naturally be accompanied by many dangers.
And Qi'er's current condition is the most dangerous.
Cheng Mingye's notes mentioned that this type of banned card is a "possessed banned card", and its working method is often to become one with the user, thereby bringing intuitive and powerful power to the user.
But at the same time, the dangers are also obvious - first of all, allowing the banned card's consciousness to directly enter one's body, or even merge with one's own consciousness, this step alone is full of crises.
This is equivalent to directly and defenselessly coming into contact with a banned card at close range. Once an outburst occurs, the user will hardly be able to prevent the backlash of the banned card.
On the other hand, the process of taking effect of the possession-type ban card is often accompanied by direct changes to the user's body, and this step is also very dangerous.
Among all soul cards, those that can directly change the body are very rare. After all, when a soul card is killed, it will enter death cooling, and when a person is killed... he is really dead.
The body can be changed, but whether it can be restored after the change is not certain.
Therefore, this kind of soul card is very rare, and even if it exists, it starts at the legendary level.
Yu Cang's "Fusion of Different Veins" also belongs to this category. The conditions are very harsh and it must be used by hybrids with stronger endurance.
This type of normal soul card is already so dangerous, not to mention the banned card... Basically, as long as this banned card is used, it will definitely cause irreversible alienation to the body.
Although Cheng Mingye and I have ensured Qi'er's safety, but... in that guy's eyes, perhaps alienation is already considered safe.
However, Qi'er has only used it once, so I think there is still a chance to make up for it.
It depends on whether she can cancel the ban card normally...
Under Yu Cang's worried gaze, the crystals on Qi'er's forearm slowly disappeared until they were hidden under the skin, and the bag on her face gradually returned to its normal texture.
After a moment, Qi'er slowly opened his eyes, and the last bit of glass in his pupils disappeared.
"I canceled it!"
Yu Cang looked up at Cheng Mingye. Without looking up, he scanned the data on the computer and said, "No abnormality was detected. The usage was completely normal, as normal as using a normal Soul Card."
Dr. Ji also spoke at this time: "Actually, you don't need to worry. I'm very familiar with Qi'er's data, and there won't be any accidents. Yu Cang, since we're already here today, why not test Qi'er's new abilities right now?"
Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up and said, "Okay—that's perfect. I'll generate a lot of this kind of alien soul energy next."
"Oh?" Cheng Mingye raised his eyebrows, "You still have soul cards to test?"
"It's gone. It's still that desolate remnant of consciousness."
"This soul card isn't that complicated. The data just now is almost there. At most, we'll need a few more tests."
"No, no, no—who said it's almost done?" Yu Cang shook his head. "Cheng Mingye, do you have a Legendary Soul Card with you?"
"...Yes." Cheng Mingye frowned, "You're not going to tell me that you think your Desolate Remnant Consciousness can also be effective on the Legendary Soul Card?"
"Give it a try—I think it's possible."
As soon as Yu Cang said this, everyone present fell silent.
"...Interesting." Cheng Mingye stood up and smiled slightly, "Okay, let's continue the test."
He preset several parameters on the computer, then reached out and took out a soul card.
"I summon—the Ancestral Troll."
Bang!
The soul card shattered at Cheng Mingye's fingertips. As the soul card scattered, Yu Cang suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
The soul card fragments fell on the ground in the center of the venue, faintly forming a rectangular soul card shadow. Then, countless rays of light shot upward from the shadow. These rays of light were extremely solid, forming a beam of light connecting the ground and the ceiling directly in the center of the venue!
Boom!
Yu Cang only felt a sudden shock under his feet, and then another shock, and heavy footsteps sounded in front of him. When the light converged, a tall and strong troll appeared in front of him.
Its muscles were exaggeratedly strong, its skin was the same dark brown as the earth, and its head had already touched the ceiling. It had to bend its body to stand normally in this space!
Yu Cang's breathing quietly quickened - this ancient troll was the one that was passed down from generation to generation!
The energy condensed within the body of a legendary summoned beast is truly terrifying. This ancestral troll is especially so, having forsaken all abilities and focusing solely on physical strength...
When standing in front of such a being at close range, even breathing would be suppressed by its own heavy aura, and you would have to use force, and this is when it is completely motionless.
He can directly summon legendary souls. Cheng Mingye is at least a level seven soul card master.
"Alright." Cheng Mingye said, "Let's try and see how much of an impact your desolate remnant consciousness can have on it."
Yu Cang didn't say anything, just nodded.
If he were to deal with this ancestral troll normally, it would indeed take a lot of effort.
After all, this ancestor troll is not like Liuyu Huanzhi, who is fragile in magic. This kind of summoned beast has thick skin and flesh, and extremely strong physical defense. Even if it eats Ye Lai's [Eight Days of Nirvana] and Chao Ci's single [Stars Like Rain] raw, it is estimated that it can still be alive and well.
A top-level physical body that was passed down from generation to generation was definitely not something he could handle at the moment.
But... the desolate remnant of consciousness is different.
Yu Cang stretched out his hand and lightly tapped it. The soul card of the desolate and remnant consciousness appeared and shattered at his fingertips.
The next moment, Cheng Mingye's expression changed quietly.
Exactly the same as before!
I didn't feel anything at all, nor did I see any soul cards take effect, but my ancestor troll... suddenly entered death cooldown!
This...how is it possible!
Seeing how confident Yu Cang was, he had already guessed that this soul card might produce a significant effect in a battle between opponents of higher levels... But he never expected that even if the level was one level higher, the effect would not be diminished at all?
In front of him, the body of the ancient troll stiffened in an instant, and no matter what orders Cheng Mingye gave, it no longer responded. The surface of its body quickly became fibrotic, and large areas of dark brown spread out. Finally, it collapsed with a loud bang, turning into a torrent of information that crashed into the suddenly appearing anchor ring.
Then, numerous tentacles emerged from the ground, passed through the anchor ring, and condensed into a familiar shape.
"Hmm?" Dr. Ji's expression changed slightly.
He looked at Cheng Mingye: "You didn't resist?"
"...I had no chance to resist at all." Cheng Mingye's mouth twitched.
If we don’t give him the opportunity, how can he counterattack?
"Strange." Dr. Ji took a breath. "There are soul cards that can fight against opponents of higher levels, but the effect is so absolute..."
Fortunately, even the Desolate Remnant Consciousness summoned using a legendary summoned beast is still a weakling. Not only does it have no combat power, it also breaks into pieces at the slightest touch.
"It's actually not difficult to understand." Yu Cang smiled as expected and said, "There's no distinction between high and low quality in connection soul cards. The power they can exert depends entirely on the strength of the anchor ring - not to mention, this is Huang, pure Huang.
"The fact that this Soul Card was able to be created means that it possesses absolute suppressive power over pure rhythmic products."
No matter how powerful a summoned beast is, in essence, it is just a combination of rhythmic entity and soul energy.
The desolate remnant consciousness is aimed at the rhythm itself, so as long as the target is within this range, there is no possibility of escape.
At this time, Dr. Jiang said, "So... not only ordinary heirlooms, but also high-level and even super-level heirlooms are vulnerable to the desolate remnant consciousness...?"
"That's the theory." Yu Cang nodded.
He didn't mention mythology.
The Myth level... is very special. Existing theories cannot fully explain it. Soul cards of the same level are more abnormal than each other. There is a high probability that the Desolate Remnant Consciousness will not take effect.
"This is truly..." Cheng Mingye showed a rare look of shock, "...subversive."
The appearance of this soul card gives low-level soul card masters a chance to counterattack high-level soul card masters.
However... high-level Soul Card Masters certainly won't have just one Terminal. Those schools that are used to using only one summoned beast to maintain the field, with countless spell cards supporting it, will probably be hit hard.
"However, it's a pity." Yu Cang looked at the tentacle in his hand and sighed, "This soul card... a deck can only fit one. Otherwise, it might affect the other soul cards."
"It's already strong enough, do you want to fill it up?"
If I could really fill it up... You know, Link Summon doesn't consume Essence, so it can be used even if the Essence Well is filled with a different type of Essence. If it's full, I only need to collect a summoned beast as soon as the opponent summons it, and I'll be invincible.
Dr. Ji couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the potential contained in the Link Soul Card...it's truly astonishing."
There is no soul energy consumption and no specific quality. When you think about it this way, there are so many things that can be explored in depth.
"Continue testing." Director Yu's voice came from the corner, "Wait a minute... I will summon a super-level legend, and you will test it."
His expression remained calm, but a hint of shock flashed deep in his eyes.
Yu Cang nodded: "Okay."
…
Next, several people continued to test.
The alien soul energy generated after the summoning was cancelled was taken away by Qi'er and used on A Shen.
Although banned cards have a death cooldown setting, but... for banned cards, as long as you pay a hundred million points, even the death cooldown can be surpassed.
Yu Cang naturally wouldn't let Qi'er pay such a price, but in the current test, it was also very simple to counter the death cooldown of Desolate Remnant Consciousness.
After several summons, Ah Shen was obviously seeing stars, but... as he became weaker, he seemed to be getting more and more excited, so Yu Cang didn't say anything.
In this case, the test results of these two soul cards came out quickly.
The Desolate Remnant Consciousness really lived up to everyone's expectations. Even the super-position legend that Director Yu had summoned with great effort was swallowed up in one gulp, without leaving any residue.
Even Director Yu, who is the guardian of the country...was also bewildered when his summoned beast was eaten, and was completely unable to resist.
Even though he had expected this, Dr. Ji was still shocked when he saw the result, and exclaimed that a new era of soul cards was coming.
At the same time, something new was discovered about the mechanism of this soul card.
[Finally] The definition of "killer" is... too broad.
Whether you wait for it to die naturally or cancel the summon, the killer's mark will be placed on the user. And if you use it as a sacrifice for a higher-level summon or a link summon... then the killer's mark will be placed on the new summon.
Anyway, as long as it leaves the field, someone will be found to kill it, and then it will be infected immediately after the death cooldown ends!
Disconnecting doesn't help!
Yu Cang had never seen such a vengeful soul card!
However, in this case, the use of this soul card will indeed be subject to many restrictions. Although it is a high-quality soul card for clearing the field, it can easily become a waste of money if used casually.
After testing this soul card, the data of A Shen next to it was almost collected.
Cheng Mingye summarized his abilities into a document and sent it to Yu Cang.
…
Soul Card Name: Mirage Dragon
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Taboo
Attribute: Light
Race: Dragon
ability:
[Dragon Transformation]: Changes the user's race to "Dragon/Humanoid." Also grants [Mirage Dragon Might] and [Illusion Ancestral Dragon Breath].
[Muyuan]: After activation, the user loses the ability to move, greatly expands the range of [Mirage Dragon Power], and condenses [Illusion Ancestral Dragon Breath] into a dragon-shaped incarnation that can move freely within the range of Dragon Power.
…
[Mirage Dragon Might]: Targets affected by Dragon Might enter a mirage. The more targets affected by Dragon Might, the more layers of mirage can be applied. The greater the number of mirage layers within the range, the stronger the Dragon Might becomes.
[Illusionary Ancestral Dragon's Breath]: When hitting, you can choose to force the person being hit into a deeper illusion; you can choose to penetrate an existing illusion and cause huge damage depending on the number of illusion layers penetrated.
…
The ability of the Mirage Dragon... is very strong.
In fact, even if Qi'er could bypass the soul energy well and directly project the illusion into his mind, it would not necessarily be that powerful.
After all, the illusion does not come out of thin air. In the final analysis, it is still up to Qi'er to weave it himself. However, Qi'er is too young and has limited knowledge, so the environment he weaves is unlikely to be authentic.
However, the ability of the Mirage Dragon allowed Qi'er to ignore this shortcoming - the Mirage Dragon's illusion was spread through the dragon's might. The more targets were affected by the dragon's might, the more layers of illusion there would be.
This ability is actually the Mirage Dragon extracting the spirit and memory of the target within the range of the illusion, and weaving the illusion based on these memories. In this way, it doesn't matter if Qi'er himself has no knowledge.
Furthermore... the more people affected by [Mirage Dragon Might], the stronger the illusion becomes, and the stronger the illusion, the stronger the Dragon Might becomes. So the stronger the Dragon Might, the stronger the Dragon Might becomes. This is truly a case of stepping on the right foot to reach the sky!
No wonder there are almost infinite layers of illusions in the Mirage Realm... So many Liuyu Huanzhi have been stepping on each other's feet in the Mirage Realm for countless years, isn't that infinite?
It is hard to imagine how powerful the Mirage Dragon would be if it had not been infected... I guess even if several national guardians joined forces, it would be difficult to defeat the Mirage Dragon in the Mirage Realm.
