Chapter 997 - 640: A New Story

Li Pu didn't understand how the conversation about those big things shifted onto the card table.

And I'm supposed to go easy?

This...

Knock knock.

Just then, a staff member knocked on the door.

The person glanced at them, and noticing they weren't playing cards, gave a slight bow.

"Mr. God of Justice, Mr. God of Inversion and Mr. One-Eyed God next door have already defeated their opponents in the first round."

Though a bit puzzled, he still reported as instructed earlier.

"Damn it, boing!"

"They indeed won, boing!"

Upon hearing this, the God of Justice immediately became anxious.

Once the staff closed the door and left, he quickly gave Li Pu a pleading look.

"You must have a reason, right?"

Li Pu simply shrugged.

"..."

The God of Justice looked sincerely at Li Pu, then sighed.

"Since that's the case, I'll tell you the truth, boing."

If it were someone else, he might not have been willing to reveal it.

"As mentioned before, the cube card metaverse is an exceptionally important world."

"How could we gods not participate in such a world?"

"But to prevent infiltration, the world rules of the cube card metaverse are quite special."

"Even gods must abandon something to truly integrate within."

"More precisely, for the level of gods we set a very high threshold."

"To become a member there, gods must undergo reincarnation."

"This reincarnation isn't like your summoned beast's reincarnation; you can think of it as rebirth."

"The reborn god will abandon their deck, abilities, seal memories, and go to that world as an ordinary person."

"Possibly, the only thing they can keep is a life card."

"Some gods have already joined."

"Boing."

Gods reincarnating?

Life card?

Li Pu listened and felt something was odd.

The little follower named Ji Jiao seemed to often mutter about a life card, thinking he couldn't hear.

"But the slots for gods participating are limited, boing."

The God of Justice continued.

"In order to compete for these slots, the gods have to internally hold a series of competitions."

"One of which is descending into various worlds to play cards with the world's masters."

"That's precisely what the three of us gods are doing on Blue Star now."

"Only the gods who sufficiently prove their card skills can earn that qualification."

"Even a god as noble as me must follow this rule."

"After all, I am the God of Justice."

"Boing."

The God of Justice finally explained his reasons.

All the chatting up to now was his attempt to stall for time.

He was hoping for some good luck, that the God of Inversion and One-Eyed God might lose in the first round, reducing his pressure.

In the end, it was just wishful thinking.

"But now you want me to go easy, doesn't that go against your principle of fairness?"

Li Pu questioned.

"No, no, no, boing."

"We're still having fair competition at the card table. Whether you go easy is your own decision, it has nothing to do with me, boing."

The slime-like big eyes of God of Justice seemed very innocent.

"And what's in it for me?"

Li Pu directly pointed out.

"Like, this face looks so familiar, boing."

The God of Justice, looking at the cripple before him, suddenly paused.

"What?"

"Nothing, boing."

30 minutes later, Li Pu was staring blankly at the card table.

This was a 9+1 card game.

God of Justice started with the reveal of his first line, immediately startling Li Pu.

Three high-quality S-level cards.

He soon realized he was surprised too soon since, including the trump card, all ten cards were S-level.

It was evident how strong the foundation of this god's deck was.

However, as of now, God of Justice only had two cards left, while Li Pu still had five.

"You are... really bad."

Li Pu couldn't help but recall Li Fan's information.

He felt if they kept selecting which god qualifies for rebirth to the cube card metaverse like this, God of Justice might have to wait centuries.

This slime's card deck was certainly explosively strong.

Especially that so-called life card, the S-level [Fairness Card], was incredibly powerful.

But there was no cooperation or synergy between any of the cards, some even had conflicting attributes.

For example, one card automatically heals, another sells a blood flow strategy.

As a result, the automatic heal always keeps healing the blood flow strategy, which never gets to sell blood.

Besides being awful at pairing cards, God of Justice's decision-making during action turns was ridiculous.

It seemed he was thoughtful and pondered long every turn, but his moves were absurdly playful, seemingly random.

No, even random moves might fare better.

"I have serious doubts that you truly want to reincarnate to the cube card metaverse to save the world."

He sighed.

"Who said I was going to save the world, boing."

The God of Justice was slightly stunned.

Such things, why not let others handle them?

He's going over there to play cards.

"Alright... you win."

Li Pu covered his face.
