Shen Sui finally understood why the Soul Card Association dared to set such an outrageous price for the Time Regulator.
The Time Regulator was a necessity for Soul Card Masters.
For the real world, time in the Soul Card World passed far too quickly! By the time you paused to think for a moment, half a day might already have passed in the Soul Card World.
Normally, half a day was nothing, but once a major event was underway, half a day was enough for many things to happen.
Like now.
While Shen Sui was lost in thought, Alice finally obtained reliable information about Anna.
It turned out that when the Pajia Gang had stirred up chaos within the City of Sin, the small gang that had abducted Anna, hoping to survive the turmoil, had abandoned its plan to sacrifice beautiful women to the God of Sin. Instead, it had offered all its "sacrifices" to the upper ranks of the God of Sin Church as playthings in exchange for the church's protection.
Alice had come to save Anna in the first place. How could she possibly tolerate this after seeing that information?
She climbed Modena City's tallest structure, the Modena Clock Tower, and delivered a speech to the Pajia Gang's members.
Sin should shroud the entire world!
This was the supreme ideal of the great Drodell! This was the pursuit of our entire lives!
And now, we! The followers of the God of Sin could only cling to one corner, cowering within this tiny Modena City! Why was that? What was preventing sin from spreading?
It was the church! Those vermin from the God of Sin Church! They had accepted bribes from other gods! They had deceived the great Drodell! They had cut off the God of Sin's Divine Decree!
This was not the City of Sin, gentlemen!
This was a prison built by the gods for Drodell! The church's vermin were the guards of this prison!
It was them! They had forced us to cower in this cramped little city!
It was them! They had made us slaughter one another just to compete for the city's meager resources!
It was them! They had turned great sin into a laughingstock! They had turned us into a laughingstock!
Gentlemen, let us wage war.
Let us wage war against the church that had betrayed the God of Sin!
Let us shatter the gods' prison! Let the gods feel the terror of sin!
Sweep away the church! Save our god!
Then spread sin! Punish the gods!
The great Drodell would guide us to victory!
Alice raised the flag of the God of Sin.
Gentlemen, charge with me!
Alice's speech won the criminals' approval.
The other gangs of the City of Sin had long grown tired of the church's oppression as well, and they joined the war.
Ding! You obtained Spell Card: Venerate God and Punish Traitors
Shen Sui rubbed his temples, his fingers trembling slightly.
No, how had this turned out like this?
I hadn't deliberately led Alice astray either.
Could she be a natural-born troublemaker?
What followed was a string of revival notifications. The God of Sin Church was probably trying to kill Alice, the leader of the rebellion.
As Shen Sui looked at those notifications, the corner of his mouth twitched. It seemed he needed to seriously consider whether to take back the cheat he had given Alice.
Giving infinite revival to someone like Alice, who loved stirring things up, was simply too destructive.
The sight of Alice being struck by divine magic yet remaining completely unharmed stunned the criminals behind her.
They became even more convinced that Alice's actions followed Drodell's Divine Decree.
After a day of bitter fighting, the criminals stormed into the church and began clearing out the remaining resistance.
Alice found Anna.
She was already dead.
Shen Sui abruptly sat up. After all, the reason sixteen-year-old Alice had persevered after being abandoned by her aunt was her belief that she could save Anna.
There should still be a corpse. As long as the corpse remained, revival could be used.
Unwilling to be humiliated, Anna had slammed herself to death against the Sin Grail.
Her blood stained the grail and miraculously fused with the Sin Grail.
Anna revived amid the evil of this world and became the Saintess of Sin.
Her once-vibrant red hair had turned jet-black, the ends of her long hair reaching into boundless evil. Anna sat atop the grail like a doll, her skin pale, her eyes blackened by sin seemingly devoid of any life.
Anna!
Alice's call seemed to awaken the girl's mind.
She raised her head and looked at Alice.
Run!
Anna cried out in despair.
Endless sin, as though it had found the most delicious food in the world, poured from the grail and rushed toward Alice.
All the sins of the world unfolded before Alice.
Bloodlust, mania, malice, jealousy.
Countless negative emotions flooded Alice's heart, while the once-normal scene before her had already become a bloody slaughterhouse.
The hooks were covered with the corpses of her, disemboweled.
Countless emerald-green eyeballs bounced across the bloody, foul-smelling ground, while her heads with their eyes gouged out murmured meaningless, seductive whispers.
Alice was contaminated by the evil of this world and lost her vitality.
The Star Super Magic Array activated and used revival on Alice. Alice regained her vitality.
The Sin Grail detected the existence of revival and prohibited it. From then on, Alice's deaths could no longer be answered by revival.
The next moment, the Duel Instrument emitted a piercing alarm. This was an alarm warning that a soul card had fallen into a life-threatening crisis.
This time, Shen Sui had been watching the whole time. He immediately opened the Time Regulator, then opened the dialogue box to enter a command.
Don't think that just because you banned one revival card, I have no other methods.
The Sin Grail? This boss was much easier to deal with than the God of Sin.
However, before Shen Sui could send the command, more information appeared on the screen:
Vivian's Matchbox sensed Alice's conviction.
It decided to protect Alice.
Alice equipped the matchbox. She would no longer be consumed by the Sin Grail.
A faint flame illuminated the road ahead of Alice.
Endless sin was held back by the light.
Alice arrived before Anna.
Go away! Go away! Don't look at me!
Anna wept.
I came to save you, Anna!
Alice hugged Anna and soothed her emotions.
Stay away from me, Alice. I'm already broken. Anna could not understand her own condition, and she felt despair.
Alice would not abandon any friend.
Alice said that repairs were what she was best at.
Alice sent Anna an invitation to join her team.
