"Everything is impermanent?"
Obviously, Miss Elf also knew about the Impermanence Card. In the time she lived, the rumors about this set of cards were wider than those in the Eighteenth Century.
"But is this really okay?"
She understood Jenkins' idea, but she couldn't speak because she still couldn't move. But Jenkins shook his head as if he had guessed what she was thinking at the moment:
"I think any card-type special item can probably play a role in the game. Of course this is cheating, but the extent of our cheating is obviously stronger than the opponent who directly prints the card."
The living statue didn't make a sound, but stared blankly at the [Great Wisdom] card absorbing power in the light. This is the 40th round. Once [Great Wisdom] is really conceived, Jenkins and the elves don't even have a chance to make a decision in the next round, so Jenkins immediately throws out the card in his hand.
The Vientiane Impermanence card fell into the center of the table, and immediately emitted a little bit of gleam. Although Jenkins didn't know how this card could play a specific role, its appearance did suppress the light that fused many cards.
Even without the effect of "fusion release", [World] does have a restraining effect on [Great Wisdom].
"It's not a card in the game."
The statue finally spoke.
"Yes, it is not, but this is also a card. If the game does not allow it, you can tell me."
"... This card can only be used once."
But apparently it was accepted as one of the rules, and Jenkins took a sigh of relief. He was sure that doing so was useful, but in fact, he found that the opponent was manipulating the game arbitrarily, so he judged that the restrictions on his own side in the game should not be strong. But because it is just a guess, it can only be thrown again in the last round, otherwise if it is useless, it will make the other party alert, and it will be even more difficult to find loopholes in the rules.
The Vientiane Impermanence card also rose to the sky above the table in that little bit of light, reaching the same height as the fusion light that was about to [Great Wisdom]. Both are emitting light, although the brightness of the light is different, but both contain extremely powerful power.
The three people on both sides of the card table remained silent and waited for the result. The light shone on their faces, as well as on the faces of many wax figures around them. They are all waiting, so no one intends to speak until the results are out.
Miss Elf was particularly nervous. The reason she didn't speak was because she really couldn't speak. She was thinking about how to persuade Jenkins to sacrifice the Platinum Influence Card once the Impermanence Card was useless, but fortunately, at least for now, her worries were unnecessary.
The light of the Vientiane Impermanence card finally suppressed the fusion light. The cards that were absorbed and fused to form [Great Wisdom] were affected by the power of impermanence at the last moment. As hundreds of cards related to [Steam] fell from the table to the table like snowflakes, the fusion light Completely disappeared, and these cards related to [Steam] also lost their power.
Even at the last moment, a black phantom appeared on the fusion light that almost stopped the hearts of the two living people present, but in the face of impermanent fate, the final fusion was not successful.
All things are impermanent - the world doesn't fully exert its power, but just being stimulated by the fate deflection saves Jenkins once.
The many [Steam] cards scattered on the table meant the failure of the fusion. It lasted for forty rounds, and the continuous manipulation of the card game caused [Steam] accidents to occur frequently. The attempt of the living statue was finally shattered.
The Impermanence card flew back into Jenkins' hands, and Jenkins put it away again. He looked at the living statue. After part of the power of the difference engine in the statue flowed into the vanished light due to Yinka, the living statue seemed to have lost its energy, and its activity was not as good as before.
"Forty rounds, is it over?"
Jenkins asked.
"No, it's not over yet. In the fortieth round, you still need to go through another event."
[Human Pus Explosion] Cards also flew from the deck to the table, and the jet-black light instantly dyed the used cards piled up on the table black.
Black dust floated from the middle table, forming ink lines and flying towards the wax figures in the wax museum. Jenkins sorted out the cards in his hand, put the [Wind of Freedom of the Elf] [Heart of the Wild Elf Tree] aside, and then took a total of thirty cards of [Maintain Stability] in his hand. Some of these [maintaining stability] were obtained by Miss Elf through dreams, and some were obtained through the effect of the [marriage] card.
"Human pus explodes, and the kingdom is destroyed."
The living statue announced that the voice was not as emotional as it was just now, and it sounded very much like the way the difference engine spoke at the moment.
"No, the kingdom hasn't been destroyed yet, I still have a way."
Jenkins threw all the [Maintain Stability] cards to the center of the table.
[Maintain Stability], which was originally just a normal effect card, after entering the center of the card table, overlapped together, like a big net, and pressed against the [Human Pus] emitting black light.
"I use thirty [Maintain Stability] cards."
"It's useless, once [Human Pus] breaks out, there is no way to recover."
"But right now it's just an outbreak, it doesn't mean it's actually an outbreak. I'm a male king, I'm exerting [stabilization] influence across the country to keep people at home, to keep calm and optimistic, and to have representatives go out to the streets to give speeches , to promote truth, goodness, beauty and chivalry."
"It's useless, human pus is a beast of disaster."
repeated the living statue.
"No, [Human Pus] is just a card."
Jenkins' eyes seemed to be glowing, and he held the table with one hand and looked towards the center of the card table. Golden light flowed from his hands, [Human Pus Explosion] also wanted to blacken the thirty sheets of [Maintain Stability], but it couldn't be done at all. Similarly, [Maintain Stability] also wanted to suppress [Human Pust Explosion], but they couldn't even stop the power of this card from venting to the wax museum outside the card table.
"You underestimate me. You have the final right to interpret this game, so I can't even influence the direction of the duel by explaining the power of the cards."
Jenkins said, watching the power of the cards on both sides confront each other. Judging from the current situation, it is true that the 30 cards [Maintain Stability] have the upper hand:
"But in fact, there is one thing you don't want me to realize. That is, no matter what happens, the game is not reality after all, so it must be played according to the rules of the game. Therefore, even in reality [Human Pus] cannot be destroyed by human beings. Thoughts are suppressed, but in a game that is more ideal than reality, as long as it is reasonable, everything can be achieved. Whether it is reasonable or not does not seem to be solely up to you to judge."
He took a deep breath:
"The rule of a country cannot be restored with a game of cards, but I have really experienced that even a disease that spreads to the whole world will always be suppressed by reasonable governance; even a disaster that is rare in a thousand years will always be suppressed. A group of people rushed out... I have said too much, but you have to understand, don't underestimate people's hearts, and don't underestimate the history I know. I won this round."
