Chapter 114: Chapter 113: A Call Across Worlds
Shen Sui now really wants to knock on Alice’s head.
What’s with this eagerness to find me a partner?
Don’t just think any mature pretty lady is my girlfriend, okay!
Unfortunately, Shen Sui is currently in a state of apparent coma and can’t punish Alice.
After severing the connection with the Sinful Chalice—though not severing it probably wouldn’t have done any harm—Alice bid farewell to Oshana and moved towards the Forest of Nature.
Alice, unaware that Shen Sui is playing dead, is quite anxious to find the legendary Freymia.
It is a long way from here to the Elf Forest, giving Shen Sui finally enough time to deal with some things.
The first being the matter of the War God’s divine format.
Making the War God puppet punch him was a temporary theatrical measure at the time. But now, a very real problem lay before Shen Sui.
How should he deal with the War God’s death issue?
As one of the Main Gods of the Dawn Continent, though being beaten to death by himself in three punches does lower its esteem a bit, the influence of the War God is undeniable.
However, Shen Sui doesn’t care about the War God’s death’s impact on the Dawn Continent; he’s just weighing the pros and cons of maintaining a virtual War God presence or completely ignoring it.
Of course, in any case, Shen Sui must take away half of the War God’s divine format.
He needs it as a medium to summon the soul of Qishala from the Otherworld.
Hmm...
Suddenly, Shen Sui had a thought; perhaps maintaining the War God’s virtual presence might have some benefits for him.
Though the Gods all revived after Vivian’s death, their believers were key in driving Vivian’s demise. Even a millennium later, most of the believers from back then are long gone, but they might have left behind some information.
Perhaps through this puppet War God, one might find the truth about past events, which would be much faster than Alice bustling around.
Only, he needs to find a way for the War God to respond normally to the believers’ prayers.
Shen Sui immediately thought of Arianna.
Our loli Death God is different from the other gods; even before recovering, she had half of her divine format cut off by Vivian. Fearing her weakened self would become food for other gods, the Death God wisely fled, not even telling her followers, leading them to believe she has completely died, with no chance of revival.
[You raise your hand, calling Arianna.]
[Arianna quickly appears at your side.]
So fast?
[Arianna noticed the War God’s divine format in your hand. She glanced at Qishala on your neck and immediately understood your purpose.]
[Arianna felt joyous, delighting in misfortune.]
[Hehe, at least I’m still alive.]
[It seems kneeling slides have their benefits.]
Hey, quite proud, aren’t you?
[Arianna agreed to your appointment, and she will impersonate the War God for activities.]
[You granted half of the War God’s divine format to Arianna.]
[Arianna absorbed the divine format, restoring her strength.]
[She saw the chasm between you and her.]
[She reasonably submitted to you.]
[After Arianna left, you handed half of the divine format to Qishala.]
Great, it’s time to recall Qishala.
Shen Sui rubbed his hands together.
This kind of recall takes effect instantly.
Shen Sui was quite sure that as long as Qishala sensed his call, she would return immediately.
In the game, this specific summoning is completed instantly, as the setting was originally designed for newbies to call powerful helpers to cheat with.
And now it’s happening in reality, and Shen Sui thinks it won’t be very slow either, but you still have to account for the time it takes the other to traverse the world barrier back. Plus, Shen Sui also doesn’t want Qishala to sacrifice too much just to rush back to see him.
[Qishala felt some resistance.]
Ah? Resistance?
Shen Sui was a bit puzzled.
[If her soul returned, Qishala wouldn’t be able to unrestrainedly cuddle with the Master like this.]
[Qishala cuddled affectionately with you.]
Shen Sui recalled Qishala’s eternally cold demeanor in the game.
Ah, well...
If Qishala’s soul returned, reflecting on her body’s actions these days, who knows how shy she would become.
Thinking of this, Shen Sui became even more expectant.
The moment the iceberg melts into shyness is one of a man’s greatest feelings of accomplishment!
[You performed an Otherworld call on Qishala.]
[The power of the half divine format was instantly drained.]
[The silent call, using it as power, pierced through the world’s barriers and tracked the faint connection between soul and body towards Qishala’s soul.]
[Qishala sensed your call.]
[Qishala decided to return.]
[Qishala is on her way.]
A series of messages popped up, proving that Shen Sui’s call was successful.
[Feeling her soul’s return, Qishala became even more coy, constantly wanting to cuddle, as if this opportunity would never return again.]
Ah....
Is her tsundere body and soul coming in reverse?
Shen Sui snarked while imagining Qishala’s picture of snuggling up to him.
It’s unclear which world Qishala is in now.
Shen Sui stretched, letting Andori continue to look after Alice, and opened the computer beside him, beginning his usual internet surfing routine.
Suddenly, a trending search popped up, grabbing attention in no time.
No matter which forum Shen Sui went to, he could see the enthusiastic discussions of the netizens.
What happened?
Shen Sui was a little curious.
[Whoa! Something big seems to have happened in World No. 11!]
[World No. 11? The one full of Magical Girls?]
[Yeah, yeah! It’s World No. 11.]
[Isn’t something big always happening there? It’s either witch invasions or tentacle escapades.]
[Right, I remember last time it was the mysterious card incident? The time before, it seemed like it was the Seed of the Holy Stone incident.]
[Not to mention the Dark Book incident.]
[Really envious, with these incidents, Soul Cards must grow quickly.]
[No way, in some places Magical Girls are really dangerous, one misstep and they become tentacle playthings.]
[Are you serious about being a plaything?]
On the forum, netizens were discussing energetically. Shen Sui watched for a long time without getting the gist, and finally couldn’t hold back anymore and typed an inquiry.
[Oh, I heard a White Dragon appeared in World No. 11, and the entire world’s people saw the White Dragon flying towards the starry sky under the guidance of starlight. Due to this peculiar sight, World No. 11 has birthed another batch of Magical Girls with starlight as their power source.]
[I estimate there’ll also be Magical Girls transforming into Dragon Ladies.]
So....was Qishala in World No. 11?
This surely can’t be a coincidence.
But why would Qishala run to the Soul Card World of Magical Girls...
Just then, a phone call came in.
Shen Sui looked down and saw it was a call from Xinyuan Tanchun.
"Hello?" He glanced at the time and realized he seemed to have stayed up all night. Unnoticed, it was already noon the next day, but he wasn’t very tired, as Claude’s power hadn’t fully returned yet.
But once he realized he had pulled an all-nighter, fatigue crept in.
"There’s big news!"
"Oh, you mean the dragon in World No. 11? What’s that got to do with me," Shen Sui muttered drowsily, speaking without logic.
"What? I was talking about your Ranking Tournament." Xinyuan Tanchun grumbled puzzledly, "World No. 11? What’s happening there? My impression, only a bothersome giraffe comes to mind."
