Chapter 13 The Past
"No, don't misunderstand, I just want to give Arya a complete family." Just thinking about Arya makes him miserable. In the world of the Spirit Envoy, his familiar, Yihao, gradually degenerated, eventually becoming a giant lizard... the Demon Lizard Yihao.
In the DT universe, she became an orphan at a young age and was finally adopted, only to encounter a wicked woman named Noelia who turned this beautiful girl into a half-human, half-fish monster.
Let it change! Noelia wasn't very skilled; she turned Aria into such an ugly creature. Look how beautiful Aria became later; her name even changed to Sea Fairy.
She later died in battle and was imprisoned in the vacuum tube of the Hellfire Machine, becoming the Shado-daffodil priestess. Fortunately, the ending was good; she was resurrected and became the Shado-daffodil priestess. After experiencing countless trials, she returned still a young girl.
Although I'm still single and have to watch Avans and Emilia flaunt their relationship every day, being single is the best. But I guess there must be a connection between the two versions of Emilia, right?
It's said that scanning the Water Spirit Aria on the arcade machine in DT will give you a Ritual Weapon deck, which is clearly designed for the Evil Legacy Mind Ogre.
Di Xing nodded in agreement with his own thoughts as he pondered, but then realized that Li Fei Hua Yue's gaze was growing increasingly cold. Di Xing quickly continued to explain, "I just feel sorry for this little girl. I don't know if you know her story about Katu."
Unexpectedly, Li Fei Hua Yue nodded again, "She is quite pitiful." Noticing that Di Xing seemed a little surprised, she continued, "When I'm resting, I like to study the stories of Katu, and the Ice Barrier's Yi Wu—Ailiya'er—was really cute when she was little. I'm quite interested in her." Li Fei Hua Yue blushed slightly as she spoke.
This little girl is so honest, she answers everything I ask. But I like her! She's a confidante who likes Aria, Di Xing thought to himself, but he didn't dare say it out loud. So he changed the subject and asked, "In this world, card spirits can be materialized. Is there a world of card spirits?"
"Yes," Li Fei Hua Yue answered decisively. "Really?"
"To be precise, the Card Spirit World is not a single world, but a collection of worlds. Just like Aria, each stage of her life has a corresponding card, and these cards can also materialize into Card Spirits. Their true forms live in the sub-worlds that are happening at different points in time. There is no situation where Aria in Shadow Cloak has consciousness, while the previous ones do not."
Di Xing scratched his head. "It seems a bit complicated."
“It’s very complicated,” Li Fei Hua Yue affirmed again. “Even the experts in our world have studied it for a long time without arriving at a definitive answer, but there’s no doubt that almost all the cards in this world came from the Card Spirit World.”
"The boundary between our world and the world of Card Spirits seems to be very thin. Card Spirits can often travel to our world. In ancient times, people used stone slabs made of spirit-binding stones to restrain Card Spirits. After successfully restraining them, the image of the Card Spirit would appear on the stone slab. Later, they discovered that if they carved the image of the Card Spirit on the stone slab and offered certain sacrifices, it was possible to summon the Card Spirit from the Spirit World. This is also known as a spirit summoning ritual."
"After discovering these phenomena, people began to use captured Card Spirits to assist in their lives, battle wild Card Spirits, and communicate with them, which led to the rapid development of human civilization and technology. The originally huge Spirit-Binding Stone slabs were also improved into small cards mixed with Spirit-Binding Stone powder."
"However, the abuse of Card Monsters by humans has become increasingly serious. They are no longer satisfied with just catching monsters in their own world, but have tried to create a passage to the Card Monster world, invading it and beginning to capture Card Monsters indiscriminately."
"Ultimately, the human world was punished by the spirit world. Twenty degraded spirits appeared in the sky through a portal opened by humans, unleashing an eternal end upon the world. This event is known as the Great End. After the Great End, the world became a wasteland, and human society collapsed. In this wilderness, only the strong could survive. Later, these strong individuals established new settlements, and alliances were formed between these settlements, thus creating the current order."
Listening to this mythical story, Di Xing asked, "I've been wanting to ask this since the beginning: what does this divine intervention mean?"
"This is a classification of the degree of threat humans pose to wild elves, from low to high: Enemy Beast, Vanquishing a Stronghold, Destroying an Army, Annihilating a Nation, Collapsing a Realm, Astral Calamity, and Divine Descent. You should have noticed earlier that these wild elves are stronger than their card-based counterparts because when elves are card-based, they are subject to rules and lose a significant amount of power."
"This is the difference between anime cards and CG cards, right?"
"???"
"It's alright, please continue."
"Therefore, it is extremely difficult to subdue these wild Pokémon. Moreover, in duels, those effects that can destroy others require energy levels greater than those of the wild Pokémon in reality to be used. So, for those two world-destroying level wild Pokémon, it would generally take at least a hundred graphics card engineers to have a chance of victory."
"Wow, wouldn't the two of us be amazing?"
Upon hearing this, Li Feihuayue wore a dejected expression. "You're the one who's capable; I wasn't much of a help."
"You can't say that. Without you, I couldn't have defeated those two monsters."
"Don't try to comfort me. Although everyone calls me a genius demon-slaying girl, I know I'm still far from it. My sister was the same way back then. If I were strong enough, she wouldn't have..." Li Fei Hua Yue's voice choked with sobs, and she couldn't continue.
"Did your sister sacrifice herself?" Di Xing asked cautiously.
Li Fei Hua Yue nodded
"Was it done by that Death King? I noticed you were terrified when you saw it."
“That’s right. Although there’s more than one [Necromancer King’s Evil Eye], I’m absolutely certain that the one that killed my sister was the one just now,” Li Fei Hua Yue said, calming herself down and continuing under Di Xing’s encouraging gaze.
"That was an exorcism a year ago. The mission wasn't difficult; my sister and I completed it smoothly. But then the Undead King suddenly appeared, instantly turning the surrounding area into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. That was its barrier—the Undead World—which turned all our monsters into undead, nullifying all their skills, even [Hymn of the Holy Mother for the Exorcising Maidens]. We couldn't defeat it at all, we couldn't even escape. In the end, in the end..." Li Fei Hua Yue couldn't continue.
