Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain

Chapter 259 Conquer, the prototype of connection

 The inexplicable force suppressed Xu to the ground, making him unable to move.

Behind her, Kong, who was about to pounce, was also suppressed to the ground.

Xu struggled to look at Yu Cang, and Kong also looked at him anxiously, but the difference was that Kong's eyes were full of begging.

"...Okay, be quiet." Yu Cang rubbed his brows, "Don't think about useless things... Your name is Kong Yuxu, right?"

 Hong lowered his head: "Yes, respected scholar."

Although Xu's eyes were still filled with anger when she looked at Yu Cang, when Kong Kong spoke, she still lowered her head and did not disturb him.

"I..." Yu Cang wanted to explain, but felt that explaining such things was a bit boring, so he simply said directly, "Come to my place to work, how about you two working together?"

Hong Kong was stunned for a moment.

 He turned his head and glanced at the preface.

Then he looked at Yu Cang again and said in a serious tone: "Before that, may I ask... do you really want to watch us struggle in the ice city to select the bravest worm?"

"I'm not that boring." Yu Cang's face was calm, "But for you, the truth may be more cruel."

 In the past, his idea of ​​imprisoning insects was to breed them.

Now that the princess is here...these insects will all become the raw materials for spirit sons.

 From this point of view, it might as well be a gladiatorial arena.

"...I understand." Kong lowered his head, "We promise... Preface, we promise."

 “Thank you, Mr. Scholar.” Xu also buried his head.

 They seem to be safe?

 Forget it, it’s too troublesome to use your brain and so on. Anyway, Xie Ting Kong’s words.

 As soon as Yu Cang said these words, Kong knew what Yu Cang was thinking.

However, he was relieved.

Originally, he had no sense of identification with these beast-like fellow creatures. Although he won't have a good impression of Yu Cang breeding worms, he won't have any grudges about it either.

 He ​​and Xu wandered in the field of starry sky for a long time. It was already difficult enough to just eat the ownerless rhythm. If he still had compassion and kindness for his fellow humans, he might have died without knowing how.

Finding a scholar to provide them with shelter is what they dream of... When Yu Cang first appeared and asked them to duel, Kong's heart skipped a beat.

If Yu Cang really used this method to select the worms, then he would probably ask them to do some shady things, such as eating the memories of his enemies... That would violate the oath he swore in the first place.

And if Yu Cang just uses the consciousness insects as raw materials, that would be fine.

This shows that Yu Cang stepped forward to conquer them because he and Xu showed their special abilities and chose them, rather than because of their disgusting instinct to detect insects.

 So Kong agreed.

Two groups of rhythms flew out of Kong Yuxu's body. Yu Cang glanced at them and put them into the body of rhythm.

　　Just like conquering the world shadow, this is also a similar method of recognizing the master.

After recognizing the Lord, the constraints on Kong and Xu disappeared.

Kong climbed to Yu Cang’s feet and lowered his head: “Sir Scholar, what do you need us to do?”

 He was still a little nervous at this time.

 The scholar in front of him doesn't look like a good person... Sora is fine with himself, but if possible, he doesn't want Xu to work for such a scholar.

 But there is no way. The number of scholars in the field of star sight is so small for some reason. If they don't seek asylum from scholars, they won't be able to survive... unless they give up their oaths.

“Don’t be in a hurry.” Yu Cang waved his hand, and the world in front of the two worms suddenly changed rapidly.

Kong was stunned for a moment. He turned around and realized that the complete ice city was behind him, with a starry sky above his head and a giant whale swimming slowly not far away.

Out?

“Empty!” Xu said excitedly, “Look, we are finally out of that pile of ice!”

 “Hush!” Kong quickly covered Xu’s mouth, “Don’t be rude in front of the scholar...”

 “No problem.” Yu Cang waved his hand.

As soon as his mind moved, a certain being sitting in the starry sky responded immediately.

 Click!

Blazing red lightning came from far away across the stars, and a huge dark cyan figure slowly appeared in the thunder. A faint gaze cast from the rock.

 It is the will of the Star God.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Yu Cang.

“Star God, take these two consciousness insects to find something to eat nearby first.” Yu Cang said, “Don’t let them eat the important rhythm.”

 “I understand.” Star God Will nodded lightly.

On the side, facing this terrifying giant statue, Kong felt his body and mind trembling.

　　What kind of existence is this? Why does even Rhythm have to bow down in front of him?

This kind of momentum... It probably won't take much effort to destroy them.

As expected of a scholar, such terrifying beings are actually his servants...

Kong suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and when Star God Will looked over, he forced himself to be calm and said: "Excuse me... what should I call you..."

 “I am the Will of the Star God—come with me.” The Will of the Star God is very polite.

 Although Sora didn't feel this courtesy, he just felt that he might be killed at any time.

 Xu is not afraid of anything. After being panicked for a while when he first saw the will of the Star God, he became bolder.

Looking at her, if Kong hadn't stopped her, she would have wanted to climb to the top of Star God's Will to take in the scenery.

 Just like that, Star God Will left with Kong Hexu.

There are still a lot of edible rhythms near the ancient capital. There will be no problem even if you eat some stones and sandy rhythms.

Of course, these rhythms can only barely fill the stomach... which is commonly known as eating dirt.

"Yu Cang!" A stream of spirit seeds appeared beside him, "Is this the ice city where you imprisoned those worms?"

Yu Cang looked back and saw that it was Xingchen.

 “Yes, what’s the matter?”

 “…You are such a waste of resources!” Stardust’s face bulged.

 The attraction wave she released in Ruin No. 8 should be able to attract thousands of consciousness insects.

And looking at now, there are only about seven to eight hundred left in Ice City...these insects will kill each other if they don't have anything to eat. Although they can reproduce themselves, without any external rhythm injection into a system, the number will definitely increase. The less!

　　If some time passes, it is estimated that the insects in this ice city will be completely extinct.

“...I have no experience either.” Yu Cang coughed lightly.

Although he had the idea of ​​breeding worms before, he didn't know what worms could do at that time, so he wasn't that interested.

 Just create a place for them to toss around. He doesn't care whether they live or die.

 So many people died, and there was nothing he could do.

 “What should we do now?”

"Now..." the princess thought for a moment, "Industrial spirit seeds can be fed to the consciousness insects... but now I don't have the conditions to prepare them on a large scale. Otherwise, I'll kill all these consciousness insects."

　　 Yu Cang: “…”

 Good guy.

 You are worse than him.

"The worms are wild beasts. There is no need for mercy towards them. Letting them die painlessly is the most benevolent thing." The princess said, "However, the intelligent worms can stay."

 “Oh? Are they of any use?”

"You can use spirit seeds to make some fastening devices and let them work." The princess glanced at Yu Cang, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But... I have to explain in advance that using wisdom to detect insects will not be as efficient as using spirit seeds. …I only do this because the Empire respects their wisdom…Now that the Empire no longer exists, it’s up to you what to do.”

 “Then stay.” Yu Cang said immediately.

No matter how you describe it, the intelligent insect is an existence that can communicate with people.

 Using these worms as raw materials... He's also a little disgusted.

 He doesn’t want to do it unless it’s necessary.

 Those ordinary people are not so particular about it.

You should know that even the intelligent consciousness insects themselves may not regard the ordinary consciousness insects as their own kin, and they can eat them as they please without any regrets.

"Okay." The princess nodded, "Then I will start making spirit seeds... These consciousness insects should be able to produce a large number of spirit seeds, and then we can do something."

 “Well, let’s go.”

After receiving the permission, the princess turned around and flew towards the Ice City.

 …

 Looking at the princess going away, Yu Cang was thoughtful.

 At this time, Jie Ying had already approached.

"Sir Scholar, shall we continue?" Jie Ying's tone became more anxious.

 There are two more worms!

And he doesn’t look like someone who is easy to mess with... The pressure of competition on his part has suddenly increased!

He really can't wait any longer. He wants to fight now and open the book!

 “Oh…Okay, let’s continue.” Yu Cang raised his head.

 …

 Later.

Yu Cang returned to the laboratory.

After some picking and choosing, he successfully found a part of the rhythm in Jie Ying's body that was suitable for summoning.

Yu Cang took the writing pen and spent a little time organizing these rhymes onto a blank soul card.

However, it is not available for the time being.

These rhythms are just copied and pasted from Jie Ying's body. They do not comply with the rules of the soul card at all, so naturally they cannot be used.

 Yu Cang thought briefly.

 This is also one of the difficulties in summoning the world shadow.

Jie Ying's body is made up of rhythm - in the field of starry sky, it can only be like this.

 But such a body is obviously impossible to come to this world.

 In this world, no matter what, you must have a material foundation.

 However, with the gradual improvement of the Jieying campus and the discovery of the spirit stream... Yu Cang already has a solution.

first-

Yu Cang took out another blank soul card.

 If you want to summon things in the starry sky, the soul card related to it must be added to the spirit child!

  Spiritual Sons can travel back and forth between the real world and the starry sky, so they can be used as a carrier to guide the coming of the world shadow.

 But if this is the only way, it is far from enough.

If you simply use a spirit son to create a body, what is the difference between that and an ordinary summoning?

 It completely fails to reflect the characteristics and advantages of this summoning method.

Yu Cang opened his palms, and little dots of light emerged in them.

Hmm...his spirit son is of no use anyway, so just add it directly to the soul card.

 …

the next day.

Yu Cang stood at the experimental site, looking at the soul card in his hand, unable to conceal his excitement. The face of this soul card is blue, which is different from the color of any previous soul card—it has this color naturally because of the spirit child.

The color of the spirit son is already bluish, but now that it is solidified in the soul card, this color has been amplified.

 After this card is made, everything is basically ready for the summoning of World Shadow.

This will be a brand new summoning method, and its principle is even very different from the normal use of soul cards. It is even more heretical than fusion and synchronization.

 But...he finally summed it up.

Connection Summon!

However, this method of summoning is still a bit unstable, and using it rashly may cause some problems. He originally had time to slowly solve this problem, but now that the summit is approaching - he chose to try his luck using entry implantation.

Seeing that the cooldown was over, Yu Cang once again chose to implant the entry.

With a flash of light, the soul card in his hand already had an additional effect.

Yu Cang frowned slightly, then shook his head and threw the soul card into the trash can.

  Not what he wanted.

continue.

“Senior?” Lin Yunqing walked into the test site, “What happened?”

"Nothing." Yu Cang was still looking at the soul card in his hand, "I just found a new way to summon, but there is still something missing."

 "Oh...huh?...Hmm..." Lin Yunqing's expression changed quietly.

 The "Oh" at the beginning was because she didn't react. When she heard that Yu Cang's words were "new summoning method", she subconsciously showed surprise and doubts, but when she thought that it was Yu Cang in front of her... well, it was really nothing.

 So, she showed curiosity: "Let me see, what is it this time?"

Getting closer, when she saw the soul card in Yu Cang's hand clearly, she was stunned: "This... this soul card, can it really be used?"

"certainly."

“…It seems completely inconsistent with the normal principles of soul card science.”

 “Yeah...so it’s still a little bit short.” Yu Cangming thought hard.

Lin Yunqing sighed.

 She stood up and asked, "Do you need me to do a test?"

 “No need, it’s not the time yet.”

“…So your way to solve the problem is to just think about it?”

 “Isn’t it possible?” Yu Cang wondered.

“…As expected of a senior.” Lin Yunqing smiled.

 At this point, shouldn't the normal process be to do a lot of repeated experiments and find the rules?

 As a result, you...forget it.

Lin Yunqing thought of the ice city in the starry sky again.

After all, the senior is a being who can directly deduce even the legendary rhythm in his mind, so this does not seem to be surprising.

 Sighed, Lin Yunqing left: "Call me if you need anything, senior."

"I will."

 Seeing that the cooldown was over, Yu Cang implanted it again.

 The result was that it was still crooked as expected.

 “Tsk.” Yu Cang shook his head.

 At this moment, the door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open.

 “Boss!” Gu Jieshuang stuck his head out, “I’m here to find you.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Cang's brows relaxed slightly.

 Forget it, we won’t be able to produce results for a while, so let’s take a rest first.

"Boss?" Gu Jieshuang stepped forward, "Have you encountered any troubles?"

"Nothing." Yu Cang put away the soul card and shook his head, "How is the 'dust-sealed holy sword' used?"

Hearing this, Gu Jieshuang smiled and seemed a little embarrassed.

 “Well, boss...I came to you just for this matter.”

 “Hmm? Have you encountered a problem?”

"Yes." Gu Jieshuang nodded, "I have successfully synchronized several times with [Unblocked through Battles]... but [Unblocked through Battles] can only synchronize equipment cards, and they all seem to be new cards. The solution can be found in the world, so I wanted to ask my boss for help in making those new cards."

Gu Jieshuang clasped her palms together, placed them in front of her nose, and looked at Yu Cang with pleading eyes: "Please, boss~"

Yu Cang smiled: "I thought it was something... easy to explain."

 Providing after-sales service to customers is of course the right thing to do.

"Okay! Thank you, boss!" Gu Jieshuang chuckled, then took a few steps back and distanced himself, "Then boss, do I want to summon you?"

Yu Cang walked aside, started up all the instruments on the field, and then found a suitable position to sit down, with a hint of starlight rising in his eyes.

 He nodded: "Let's get started."

"Um!"

 Gu Jieshuang took a deep breath and her eyes became serious.

 “I summon: Dust-sealed Holy Sword!”

 Click!

The phantom of the soul card opened and shattered beside him, and a long sword jumped into Gu Jieshuang's palm.

This is an ordinary-looking sword with no special decoration from beginning to end. The sword body is made of unknown metal. It is gray and has no metallic texture at all.

The moment the dusty holy sword appeared, a faint brilliance bounced off the gray sword, condensing into what looked like a soul card in hand.

 Whether you look at it from the front or the back, this soul card only looks like the back of the card - this is the cover.

“I activate: [Leave Traces to the Holy Spirit], and release: Sword Intent·Tianyuan Star Shift!”

The Sword Intention Soul Card takes effect immediately as soon as it is placed. Suddenly, a bit of starlight surrounds the dust-sealed holy sword, and it is still moving around the sword body.

 The most important thing is here.

After recovering enough soul energy, Gu Jieshuang's eyes narrowed and he activated several spell cards in the dark. Immediately, the ice layer spread upwards, and countless cold winds hit the body of the dust-sealed holy sword, constantly weakening its sturdiness.

There is nothing we can do about it.

The Holy Sword itself has no special combat ability, but the sword body is surprisingly hard... [Remove the Seal through Battles] can only be activated when it is destroyed. It will take some effort for Gu Jieshuang to destroy this sword by himself.

finally.

Cracks were all over the blade of the Dust-sealed Holy Sword. Gu Jieshuang shook violently, and the Dust-sealed Holy Sword suddenly turned into pieces.

It's now!

 “I activate: [Remove the feudal wars]!”

The Tianyuan Star Shift behind him was affected by the invisible force and turned into five green halos surrounding the broken sword. Then, the broken fragments stopped in the air and continued to flow back. At the moment when the green halo tightened , the broken sword has also returned to its original state!

　　It’s just that the restored broken sword is already very different from before.

All the gray texture was washed away, and a cold light like starlight circulated endlessly on the sword. Outside the originally relatively narrow sword body, the magnificent light like diamond condensed into a translucent energy entity, extending The edge of this long sword!

Yu Cang’s eyes lit up.

 This is already a new sword.

 This situation is actually expected.

Synchro Summoning is the process of amplifying the ability of the soul card that acts as a coordinator.

In the process of this summoning, the coordinator is the Sword Intent Soul Card, and this summoning process is affected by the ability of the "Dusted Holy Sword"...

 So, what is finally summoned will be an epic long sword with sword power!

Fifth level plus fifth level, tenth level epic, the pinnacle of power below the virtual level!

 “Use the ability.” Yu Cang said, “I will record it.”

 “Okay!” Gu Jieshuang nodded, and then slowly raised the long sword in his hand.

 …

 In this world, every soul card actually has a corresponding background setting.

Like the dragon of the last dawn, Night Comes, the last ray of light between heaven and earth at the end. As for Xing Su's Great Lich of Shepherd Soul, the setting is a powerful undead soul that killed six human kings.

　　It’s just that...this background setting has little impact on the battle, so only those middle school boys will care.

 The Dusty Holy Sword naturally has its own background setting.

 It...is a sword that has gone through countless battles and passed into the hands of countless people.

Maybe it’s because of good luck, or maybe it’s because the person who forged the sword is really skilled. After countless battles, the dust-covered holy sword is still intact.

　　It has been given countless names by countless swordsmen, but now, it is just an ordinary, dusty sword.

 Because many "Sword Masters" have fought with it, the name has the word "Saint" in it.

Today, this sword is placed in an ordinary blacksmith shop, inconspicuous, and no one will choose this sword again. However, the battles in the past have left traces on this sword. .

This is [Leave a Trace of the Holy Spirit] - too many sword intentions have flowed through it, and it remembers them all.

Until one day, the owner of the blacksmith shop gave this sword to a young swordsman. When the swordsman took this sword and embarked on a journey again, after experiencing countless battles again -

Finally, in a life-and-death crisis, the swordsman glimpsed the power called "Sword Intent", and this long-lost sword also revealed a corner of its past power - [Remove the Seal through Battles].

 …

Yu Cang stopped writing.

 He picked up the soul card in his hand, looked at it for a moment, and handed it to Gu Jieshuang.

 “No, it’s done.”

 Soul card name: Breaking the Seal·Star Shift

 Category: Equipment Card

 Star level: tenth level

 Quality: homogeneous

 Attribute: land

ability:

 Sword Intent·Tianyuan Star Shift+equipment cards other than coordination

　　【Casting Stars as Edge】: This soul card will inherit the [Star] layer on top of the synchronized material. The [Star] layer obtained in this way will always exist and will not disappear. The number of [Star] layers will bring corresponding additional weight to Breaking the Seal and Star Shifting. The additional weight does not apply to the bearer himself.

 【Star Chase】: Breaking the seal and star movement will gain a certain number of 【Star】layers as the movement speed increases. When Seal Break and Star Shift come into contact with an equipment card, a certain number of [Star] layers can be consumed to destroy the equipment card.

 【Star Shift】: You can convert the [Star] layers into sword energy to play. The sword energy has a higher extra weight bonus based on the [Star] layers.

 Gu Jieshuang took it and his eyes lit up.

 “That’s great...Thank you, boss!”

"It's okay." Yu Cang looked at Gu Jieshuang, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "By the way... I just thought about it, this dust-sealed holy sword... seems to be able to synchronize the summoning of Hantian's sword?"

 Han Tian Ji Zhan is one of the two masterpieces that Yu Cang made when he was at Zulong Snow Mountain!

 “Eh?” Gu Jieshuang was stunned.

 It seems...is it really possible?

 Sword Intent·Hantian Snow Waterfall can be used as the coordination of Hantian’s Ultimate Slash!

But...even if she could be summoned, it would have to be after she was level six.
