A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 790

Chapter 790: Chapter 561 Trace of the Reaper_1 Chapter 790: Chapter 561 Trace of the Reaper_1 After evading the frantic hunt of the Foundation, Duanmu Huai opened the teleportation portal, slipped back to the warship, and began to carefully study this card.

“Hmm… Mechanical Descent, what kind of card is this?”

Looking at the Soul Card in front of him, Duanmu Huai felt somewhat apprehensive. He understood the meaning of Mechanical Descent. Simply put, it was like in many stories, where the protagonists were at a disadvantage against the final boss. When they were on the verge of a total wipeout, the protagonists' courage and love would touch the heavens or something, causing divine power to miraculously descend, reviving the entire protagonist group with boosted powers (BUFFs), weakening the boss, and then bringing about a turn of events.

In a nutshell, this act was called “Mechanical Descent”. It referred to the incomprehensible and illogical occurrence at the final moment, forcibly changing the ending of the story.

So when he first heard about Mechanical Descent, Duanmu Huai had always thought it might be some kind of mechanical device or relic.

But to his surprise…….

It turned out to be a Servant Card?

Yes, this was what Duanmu Huai was worried about. The act of Mechanical Descent wasn't that big a deal, but as a Servant Card, it meant she had self-consciousness, which could spell trouble.

Because, in this case, you would never know whom she would help!

If she were to help the protagonist, it would be a desperate attempt to survive and turn the tables under the boss's dominance.

If she were to help the boss, it would be the boss's “haha, this is my escape route” at the brink of destruction under the protagonist group's attack, followed by a turn of events.

As you can see, Mechanical Descent is a double-edged sword. It would have been fine if it were simply a relic or some kind of technology.

But being a servant…that's quite troublesome.

No wonder there is a word “sealed” underneath it. It seems that even the Foundation doesn't trust this self-conscious weapon to run around freely.

Should I release the seal?

Staring at the card in front of him, Duanmu Huai hesitated for a moment.

Release it. After all… I'm depending on her to stabilize reality!

[Seal Release]
With the turn of Duanmu Huai's thoughts, the Soul Card in his hand trembled instantly. The next moment, the originally black and white card was dyed in seven colors. At the same time, the card effect in Duanmu Huai's eyes changed again.

[Mechanical Descent (Legend)]
[Cost: 5]
[Attack: 4]
[Defense: 5]
[Effect: (Entrance theme) Grants your main battler the special effect of “Reduces Subspace Heat consumption by 10% every time you use a Creation Card”.]
[I am the god of machinery who rules causality. Whether you wish for a stable world or bring greater chaos, it's all up to you… So, what is it that you hope for?]
“Holy crap?!”

Seeing the effect of this card, Duanmu Huai was taken aback.

The card's effect seems straightforward, just one short sentence, but to Duanmu Huai, it's incredibly… overpowered!

Let me remind you that as a Soul Walker, there's a limit to Duanmu Huai's Subspace Heat. Most of his summoned creatures would consume heat. Thanks to the effect of [Subspace Armor], all of Duanmu Huai's summons have their Subspace Heat consumption halved, allowing him to maintain a large number of Soul Cards most of the time.

Presently, the cards Duanmu Huai has and continues to maintain on the field are [Ogis (6-3)], [Lorena (3-2)], [Ann (8-4)], [Greiya (8-4)], [Felin (3-2)], [Mia (2-1)], [Kukulu (3-2)] and [Audrey (6-3)]. As for the puppets that reside on the mothership, since they are within the range of the Subspace fragments, they don't count towards the consumption. These are the basics that constantly occupy about 40% of Duanmu Huai's Subspace Heat limit. The remaining 60% is mainly reserved by Duanmu Huai for special occasions to summon Soul Cards or cast magic.

After all, although [Sky City] + [Divine Relic] is indeed a Divine Artifact for clearing the field, the Subspace Heat it consumes is not small, so some must be reserved in advance.

However, with the effect of [Mechanical Descent], everything is different!

Duanmu Huai's Puppet Cards all have zero consumption, and according to the effect of [Mechanical Descent], every time Duanmu Huai plays a Creation Card, his Subspace Heat consumption will be reduced by 10%. This means that as long as Duanmu Huai plays a bunch of Creation Cards with zero consumption, he can reduce his Subspace Heat to zero!

This, in turn, means that he can summon a large number of high-consumption, high-damage cards!

No matter how many high-consumption Soul Cards he plays, as long as the effect of [Mechanical Descent] is in place, Duanmu Huai's Subspace Heat consumption is virtually always zero! This is equivalent to allowing a mage to continuously cast powerful spells without consuming MP, what an awesome ability — Damn, it's indeed worthy of being called Mechanical Descent. Any boss would be overturned once this move is played!

In the game, what troubled Soul Walker players the most was not having enough Soul Cards, but having difficulty playing all the high-consumption cards at once. The more powerful the card, the higher the consumption. The [Dimensional Transcendence] held by Duanmu Huai, for instance, could not be played at all without the special property of reducing consumption through Mana Amplification. And those powerful cards, each with high consumption, could easily reach double digits, which is a three-digit number in Subspace Heat conversion, making the player weigh before playing.
