"As for Dogmatika, let me think, it usually refers to Guiding Quem, the Virtuous and Ecclesia, the Virtuous of Dogmatika," Youye said slowly. He paused slightly after speaking, looking at Ye Lingling without continuing.

"As expected, you know about the existence of Cartesia, the Virtuous of Crimson!" Noticing Youye's use of 'usually' and his unfinished expression, Ye Lingling instantly understood that Youye was indeed an omniscient card master, just as Bai Yun'er had said.

"Is it possible that I know not only Cartesia, but also another alias of Ecclesia, though this alias isn't very related to Dogmatika?" Youye's lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a strange smile. His gaze shifted to Bai Yun'er, but she didn't seem to notice what he was saying.

"Ecclesia has other aliases that aren't related to Dogmatika?" Ye Lingling, who had just understood, was momentarily stunned, not immediately grasping what Youye was referring to.

She knows her own business. The Dogmatika Spirits might look like they have divine roles, but that's not actually the case.

The Dogmatika internal structure is quite chaotic, and their Spirits are very dominant. Would they allow Ecclesia, a Virtuous, to have another alias that isn't closely related to Dogmatika?

"Huh? Aren't you acquainted with Little Bai? You don't know?" He had actually been joking just now, thinking Ye Lingling was asking about four. Seeing her expression, Youye seemed to realize that she didn't know that the White Virtuous of Bai Yun'er's Swordsoul Archetype was actually the same Spirit as the Dogmatika Virtuous.

"Huh? What do the Dogmatika Archetype have to do with me?" Bai Yun'er was also confused. Her Swordsoul Archetype had recently been looking for the Tenyi Archetype; they weren't related to Dogmatika.

"Uh, is it possible that the White Virtuous and the Dogmatika Virtuous are the same Spirit? Just with different aliases?" Seeing the two girls' surprised expressions didn't seem fake, Youye's mouth twitched slightly as he replied.

"Impossible! Although they have the same name, both are Virtuous, their Attack, Defense, Attribute, and Type are the same, even their faces are the same... but they have absolutely no synergy! They can't be the same Spirit!" Ye Lingling was still arguing, but inwardly, she was starting to believe it. With so many similarities, it would be a bit strange if they weren't the same Spirit.

Bai Yun'er had a strange look on her face, but no other feelings. At the moment, her mind was solely focused on Tenyi Swordsoul. It wasn't like there was only one Spirit with multiple aliases; whether there were more or not didn't matter.

"Well, don't Dogmatika cards have synergy with Fallen of Albaz? The White Virtuous, on the other hand, has direct synergy... Actually, my suggestion is for you to ask the Spirits yourselves. We're not in a hurry to find Spirits right now anyway." Youye spread his hands. He could only offer advice on this matter.

Ye Lingling felt that made sense and began contacting Ecclesia. A moment later, she got her answer from Ecclesia.

Indeed, both the White Virtuous and the Dogmatika Virtuous were her. However, due to the Dogmatika Spirits, as long as she wasn't exposed, she wouldn't admit it, much less proactively say so.

"Senior, is there an Archetype called Fallen of Albaz?" After getting the result, and remembering Youye mentioning synergy with Fallen of Albaz, Ye Lingling asked curiously.

What kind of Archetype or card could connect her Dogmatika Archetype and Bai Yun'er's Swordsoul Archetype?

"Fallen of Albaz isn't an Archetype; he's a core Spirit character of the entire Branded World," Youye thought for a moment before speaking.

Why didn't he say the protagonist of the Branded World? He had previously asked Munin if she had fought against the Spirits of the King's Battle Archetype, and the answer was no. Although the King's Battle Spirits were in the same world as them, they wouldn't easily engage in Duels with their Runick system. Yes, it was Duels, not battles.

Because everything relied on Duels, the world of Spirits was very peaceful and generally wouldn't initiate Duel wars. Well, with the exception of a very few Archetypes like Kashtira, who liked to capture Slaves everywhere.

"What about the strength?" After hearing about the core, Ye Lingling became curious about the strength.

In a world where Dueling was everything, strength was always the top priority. If the cards related to Fallen of Albaz were weak, she wouldn't care about them afterward. After all, if they couldn't improve her, they were useless.

Bai Yun'er also looked at Youye curiously. When it came to strength, it was naturally the most attention-grabbing factor.

"Strength, huh..." Youye murmured, starting to ponder the difference between veteran Branded players and novice Branded players before his transmigration, and fell silent.

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, even with the same Deck, you would see some veteran Branded players with a hand full of resources, and you wouldn't know what their final board would be; some, with just two Extenders, could build a board full of various disruptions and resources. The difference was huge. Because of the help of veteran players, Branded often made it onto the tier list even in the FIRE Attribute year.

"Both the upper and lower limits are very high!" Finally, Youye came to this conclusion.

At Youye's conclusion, Bai Yun'er fell silent. She could sense from Youye's words that, in a sense, the upper limit of Branded was higher than her Tenyi Swordsoul.

Ye Lingling didn't sense this. She looked at Youye and asked seriously, "Compared to my Dogmatika Archetype?"

"Toys." Youye answered without any hesitation.

"Phew~" Ye Lingling breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Yesterday, she and Bai Yun'er had dueled in Master Duel, and she had lost four times and won only once. The only time she won was by banishing all of Bai Yun'er's important Extra Deck monsters, a narrow victory.

Now that new related cards were out, if they were stronger than her Dogmatika, she felt she might as well quit playing.

Just as she was thinking this...

Youye glanced at her, understanding what she was thinking, and slowly said with heartfelt words, "Is it possible that I meant Dogmatika are toys in front of a Branded Deck centered around Albaz?"

"Huh?" Ye Lingling's heart felt like it was on a rollercoaster. She had just been thinking about how to crush Branded players she encountered in the future. This reversal from Youye?

"What's there to 'huh' about? Dogmatika aren't strong. At best, they're the weakest Heaven-tier, and Earth Level is even difficult." Youye explained, "Whereas Branded, as long as you gather the cards and know the combos, based on the Heaven-tier Duel data that's leaked, you can easily crush opponents. If it's a veteran player, I think King-tier is also possible. Of course, I haven't seen a King-tier Duel, so I don't know the specifics."

"This..." Ye Lingling's heart was instantly pierced. Her Archetype was Heaven-tier at best, while others started at Heaven-tier. What kind of gap was this?

Bai Yun'er was also a bit surprised, but she didn't ask further. She hadn't even fully mastered the Tenyi Swordsoul she had; Bai Yun'er understood the principle of not biting off more than you can chew.

"I know Senior wouldn't joke and deceive me, but I want to prove that my Dogmatika Archetype isn't weak, not as weak as you say it is." After a while, Ye Lingling looked at Youye very seriously.

Then she took out a small Tablet from her pocket and slowly said, "Although this Card List doesn't have the cards you're looking for, I believe it has quite a few valuable cards. I'm willing to offer two Original Cards as compensation!"

"How long until you can reach Earth Level?" Youye didn't take the Card List or directly agree, instead asking about her Level.

"I'm currently undergoing Earth Level certification. If I can pass, within half a month," Ye Lingling replied after a brief thought.

"Alright, forget the Card List. After you reach Earth Level, just promise to let me communicate with a certain Dogmatika Archetype Spirit," Youye thought for a moment and replied.

"You want to communicate with a Spirit to get Dogmatika..." Ye Lingling furrowed her brow, not understanding why Youye said Dogmatika was a weak Archetype yet still wanted to communicate. But halfway through, she understood.

Youye's true intention wasn't in the Dogmatika; he wanted Branded!

Reaching Earth Level was different from before reaching Earth Level. Earth-level Duelists could summon Spirits, and if the summoned Spirit was willing, it could give its Archetype to others. They could even obtain other cards through the Spirit's network.

Please follow and collect, it's a bit tough, getting crushed by books from the same period. Recommendations and such will have to wait for next week to see if there's a chance~
