The Godly and Sinister Card Maker: Myriad Ghosts Night Parade at the Start - Section 5

A pale purple-bordered card floated in front of Lin Chen—

Card Name: [Guardian Door Gods - Qin Qiong/Yuchi Gong]

Type: Deity/Guardian/Ancient Warrior

Quality: Epic · Pale Purple Border · Four-Star

Characteristics:

[Guardian Home Blessing] The Guardian characteristic can only be activated within a building where "Door Gods" are worshipped. It generates divine defense for the entire building, bestows blessings upon the beings within, and greatly increases Qin Qiong/Yuchi Gong's speed and strength within the building's range.

Enemies must break through the "door" of the blessed building to deal effective damage. Those who forcibly pass through walls will be teleported to the door and have the [Tang Law - Trespassing Forbidden Ground] mark applied.

[Tang Law - Trespassing Forbidden Ground] When an enemy enters or attacks a blessed building, Qin Qiong/Yuchi Gong will trigger an alarm and apply a mark to them. This mark suppresses marked enemies and deals divine critical damage.

[Loyal to Lord, Protect Master] Qin Qiong/Yuchi Gong recognize you as their lord and possess an instinct to protect you, serving you unto death.

[Divine Spirit Gathering] Qin Qiong/Yuchi Gong possess divinity and have extremely high resistance to debuffs. They also autonomously absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, reducing the card's spiritual power consumption.

Skills:

[Tang Palace Martial Arts - Throwing Mace] Qin Qiong's signature mace technique. He throws his mace with divine power, possessing the effect of dispelling evil.

[Tang Palace Martial Arts - Thunderous Roar] Yuchi Gong's roar is like thunder, terrifying enemies' minds and capable of knocking down enemy projectiles.

[Exorcise Evil Spirits] Qin Qiong/Yuchi Gong purify the building they guard with righteous energy and suppress surrounding malevolent spirits with their imposing presence. The blessed area gains the effects of [Sober Mind] and [Dispel Evil Aura], and ghost monsters are intimidated and weakened.

It actually worked! A deity card!

Looking at the card's effects, it's not an evil god, and there are no backlash effects. Instead, it's an extremely positive effect of exorcising evil and providing blessings!

They are benevolent gods, we're saved!

Despite the intense pain in his mind, Lin Chen was overjoyed.

Not only was the creation of the deity card successful, but he also verified several of his conjectures: benevolent gods exist in this world, and the myths and folklore from his previous life are recognized here!

There must be some underlying law at play, though Lin Chen doesn't know what it is yet.

But who cares, as long as it works!

With the first card, there will be more.

Creating all the gods and buddhas will start with the Door Gods!

Zhong Yueming was also stunned. Lin Chen had actually succeeded in summoning and crafting an unknown deity!

With such limited materials, he successfully deduced the formula for an unknown combination and had to visualize an unknown deity.

With so many slim chances and dangerous factors stacked against him, he actually succeeded in the end!

And it's a purple card!

Using a few green and white materials, he made a purple card??

Is this reasonable?

And it's a deity card! Possessing four-star spirituality directly?!

Zhong Yueming couldn't understand, but he was greatly shocked!

He gazed enraptured at the information on the Door Gods card.

Especially the characteristic [Guardian Home Blessing].

This is simply a conceptual characteristic!

Simply put, enemies must first attack the unit with taunt.

Within the building protected by the Door Gods, enemies must break through the door from the front; they can't just climb over the wall to sneak attack!

But at this moment, there's a problem: the ghost monsters have already broken through the door, so this characteristic doesn't seem to be able to activate.

No matter, the Door Gods will handle it.

"Halt!"

A shout came from the dark-faced Door God Yuchi Gong.

As a guardian deity who detests evil and is fiercely protective, with evil spirits threatening his lord's life nearby, He immediately prepared to act!

Yuchi Gong raised his steel whip and struck at the [Skeleton Monk]!

The scripture on the ghost monster's chest, emitting an evil aura, had no effect on the Door Gods, who possessed god-level resistance. In an instant, its skull and chest cavity were smashed to pieces.

The white-faced Qin Qiong remained calm, but his hands were not idle.

He activated [Exorcise Evil Spirits], unleashing his righteous energy, and began swinging his golden maces with the force of wind and thunder.

He smashed them onto the back of the [Ghost Yaksa] that was about to rise, causing it to immediately kneel, its back breaking, turning it into a second [Falling Ghost].

Both were instant kills! The damage [Exorcise Evil Spirits] dealt to ghost monsters was terrifyingly effective!

The long arm that the [Blood-Red Wedding Sedan Ghost] had extended instantly retracted.

The two Door Gods showed expressions that seemed to say, "You know better."

"Don't reach out, or you'll get hit!"

Lin Chen rubbed his forehead and walked over to Zhong Yueming, patting his shoulder. "Brother Zhong, thank you for your hard work."

"Next, let me... eradicate the myriad ghosts!"

On this day, the strange creatures finally remembered the terror of being dominated by spirits.

The gods have returned!

This is very important for the future recommendations of this book! Witness the future with this book!

Yuchi Gong: "If you have votes, hurry up and cast them!"

Qin Qiong: "You dark fellow, how can you be so rude! Aren't you afraid of ruining the master's important affairs!"

Chapter 6: Myriad Ghosts Night Parade? No, Myriad Ghosts Night Run!

The [Falling Ghost] was slow-moving and was utterly bisected by Yuchi Gong, leaving nothing more to fall.

The [Drowned Ghost], seeing that the Door Gods were invincible in direct confrontation, threw out its black umbrella, driving its ghostly power. The black umbrella rained down countless foul-smelling muddy waters, slowing Qin Qiong's advance.

Then it started to turn and run!

Yes, it ran.

Zhong Yueming's jaw dropped.

The Door Gods scared the ghost away!?

The Myriad Ghosts Night Parade had become the Myriad Ghosts Night Run!

He had never experienced this in his previous dungeon runs; he was always being chased by ghosts, fighting for survival!

Only the [Eyeless Ghost] present was fearless and went against the tide, actively attacking Lin Chen.

Qin Qiong immediately triggered his trait [Loyal to Lord, Protect Master] and quickly retreated to defend.

Unexpectedly, the [Eyeless Ghost] merely feinted, then grabbed Zhong Yueming instead, seizing his shoulder.

DS-R1, lying on the ground, was unable to provide aid.

Lin Chen quickly pointed, and Qin Qiong, with telepathic understanding, let go of his mace, which flew and smashed the [Eyeless Ghost]'s head to pieces.

Numerous eyeballs burst from the ghost's head, rolling onto the ground;

These eyeballs, as if alive, darted away in all directions.

The two Door Gods leaped forward, crushing these eyeballs one by one, leaving no trace behind.

But this delay allowed the [Drowned Ghost] to escape the temple and flee in a different direction from the [Blood-Red Wedding Sedan Ghost].

There was still a chance to pursue, and the two Door Gods could chase one ghost each.

However, Lin Chen prioritized stability. If both Door Gods left to chase ghosts, he and Zhong Yueming would be left without guards. If other ghosts were lurking nearby and seized the opportunity to attack, it would be disastrous.

So, Lin Chen sent Qin Qiong, who was stronger in martial prowess in historical romances, to pursue, leaving Yuchi Gong to guard.

The dark-faced god grunted a few times in dissatisfaction but still followed Lin Chen's orders.

As for who to chase, Lin Chen chose the more dangerous [Blood-Red Wedding Sedan Ghost]. If they were going to do it, they would go after the fierce one.

Qin Qiong sprinted at full speed, closing the distance, and once again used his killing move [Throwing Mace]. The golden mace, imbued with the power to dispel evil, flew out.

The golden mace whistled, unavoidable!

The [Blood-Red Wedding Sedan Ghost] hurriedly pushed out two paper effigies as substitutes. Taking the brunt of this fatal mace strike, the sedan ghost itself managed to escape.

A perfect "lizard sheds its tail"! A cunning and wicked ghost, so difficult to deal with!

Lin Chen and Zhong Yueming felt that before the [Blood-Red Wedding Sedan Ghost] left, it had marked them both with a resentful, blood-red aura. It seemed they had made an enemy.

With the sedan ghost's substitute taking the hit, there was no one to chase the [Drowned Ghost].

Lin Chen regretted that there would be no further gains.

Zhong Yueming reacted and suddenly ordered, "DS-R1, maximum power! Concentrate all energy for an electromagnetic pulse attack on the [Drowned Ghost]!"

DS-R1 sat on the ground, raising its forearm. The resonator emitted a blinding blue arc light, piercing the escaping [Drowned Ghost] at maximum range.

The arc blast completely blew apart the swollen ghostly corpse, spilling its foul fluids everywhere.

Having exhausted all its energy, DS-R1 also entered standby hibernation.

Unwilling to pay such a price, Zhong Yueming stated resolutely, "Monsters must be exterminated!"

Lin Chen looked at him, and they exchanged glances, sharing a smile of relief.

"DS-R1 is in standby, but its previous monitoring facilities are still active. There shouldn't be any more ghosts coming to attack."

Zhong Yueming began to arrange the aftermath. "Quickly get blank cards to package the materials dropped by those monsters after they died!"

The [Ghost Yaksa]'s corpse dropped [Yaksa Bones] (Green);

The [Falling Ghost] dropped [Shattered Corpse in Two Halves] (White);

The [Skeleton Monk]'s bones were pulverized, leaving only a [Forbidden Scripture] (Green) on the spot.
