Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain Chapter 364

Chapter 364: Equivalence

He directly attacked Zhao Yang's handed down soul card, but the success rate was a little low, so Yu Cang asked for Wen Renge's sacred breath card.

Yu Cang now learns this kind of rare card very quickly, so he easily mastered the method of making this soul card and successfully implanted the [ritual].

 Before, because Zhao Yang had already worked out the prototype of the ceremony, Yu Cang didn't put much thought into it.

 No time is one thing. On the other hand, it is also because he does not want all the achievements of the era to come from his own hands.

 With his current achievements, there is no need for another ritual summons to prove anything.

However, after actually summoning consciousness yesterday, Yu Cang discovered that this summoning method is not that simple, and it is quite different from the ritual in his impression.

 The essence of ritual is exchange.

 At this time, Zhao Yang sighed.

He looked at the several soul cards in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "So... the real way this summoning method works is to rely on star level expansion... to consume the same star level to summon a stronger summoned beast. ?"

Yu Cang shook his head: "Yes, but it's not right either."

 “Huh?” Zhao Yang was stunned, “Why?”

"This is just a manifestation of ritual, and it is also the most universal usage. In fact... there are more 'rituals'." Yu Cang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Zhao Yang, there is something I don't know whether I should say. "

"…you say."

“Your 'Awakening Summon' may have been improved by others secretly...but the direction of improvement may not be good.”

Zhao Yang frowned: "What do you mean?"

Yu Cang sighed: "Others...may have used your idea on the 'banned card'."

 Zhao Yang's eyes suddenly shrank.

Beside, Hu Yanzhan also frowned, thoughts flashing in his eyes.

 “How specific?”

"There is no need to cite too far an example." Yu Cang said, "For example... this time in the Mirage Muyuan, the soul card used by the forbidden card master named Bain to summon the devil is actually a manifestation of the 'ritual'. "

Hearing this, Zhao Yang bit his lower lip gently and suddenly fell silent.

But Hu Yanzhan suddenly said: "This is not realistic, Yu Cang. As far as I know, the Public Security Bureau has been pursuing Bain's case for decades. If that soul card is really based on Xiaoyang's results, Prototype, then the time doesn't match up at all.”

　　There was also a bit of urgency in his tone.

 Don't say this nonsense.

Zhao Yang has just solved the problem of identifying insects. He is very lucky. He is still very young. It is the time when he can continue to develop his talents and continue to grow. If he is involved with banned cards at this time, his future will be completely ruined!

"Yes...Bain has been coming to Yan Country to look for his 'familiar' for decades." Yu Cang nodded.

Hearing this, Zhao Yang raised his eyes and his expression seemed to relax.

But Yu Cang immediately said: "But... I have seen that 'Devil's Altar'. Although I have not studied it in depth, its production took no more than three years."

He came into contact with this soul card before going to the Holy Capital. At that time, he thought about using the recorder to study it carefully after returning from the Holy Capital, but so many things happened later that he forgot about it.

Thinking about it now, if he had used a recorder at that time, he might not have had to do so many things now.

 Hu Yanzhan: “…”

As soon as Yu Cang said these words, he was immediately silenced.

Similarly silent is Zhao Yang.

They all know that the forbidden card that summons demons belongs to Wang Chu from the ancient capital fighting club. As a member of the same club, it is normal for Yu Cang to have seen this soul card. Based on Yu Cang's knowledge, it is absolutely impossible to misjudge the production time of a soul card.

That... Put it this way, the truth of Bain's case is... Bain wanted to summon the familiar, but he has been unable to do so. However, because of Zhao Yang's achievements, the official method of summoning the familiar was accidentally solved. Was it born in the Yan Kingdom, a country with the strictest ban on cards...

There should be many details that are still unclear, but now it seems that at least how this banned card was born is almost certain.

"But..." Zhao Yang stared at Yu Cang, his eyes unblinking, "There is obviously no connection between the demon altar and my soul card. How did you come to this conclusion?"

“Actually, the essence is the same—the essence of ritual is exchange.” Yu Cang said slowly, “The principle of ritual summoning is to use unequal transactions disguised as equivalents.”

Yu Cang picked up the "Critical Fierce Angel" and explained: "Just like this card, the materials and terminals are placed at both ends of the scale called ritual. What is 'equivalent' is the star level, and what is unequal is It's everything else. But as long as the equivalent part exists, then this unequal calling can be fulfilled.

“The same goes for your Dragon's True Yang Awakening. Although it's not perfect yet, equalizing mental pressure is the key to completing the ritual.”

Zhao Yang's eyes kept thinking, and he seemed to realize something: "Then...that altar is..."

"That's right." Yu Cang said, "The equivalent is the life at both ends of the ceremony."

 Use damage to destroy the soul energy well to gain energy, curse and defile the body to gain consciousness, and crush the spirit to gain abilities.

 Among them, soul energy is equivalent to ability, body is equivalent to energy, and spirit is equivalent to consciousness. The three abilities are misaligned, so only when the three abilities are activated at the same time, the three equivalents will take effect, ultimately completing the ritual.

 This card is not considered a banned card for this reason when the specific ability is vague. Whichever one of these three abilities is listed is actually a normal ability that costs a lot of money.

Zhao Yang's tone was already a little bitter at this time: "So, in the past five years..."

 He looked at Yu Cang, as if he wanted to get some answer from Yu Cang, but this time Yu Cang didn't speak, he just looked at Zhao Yang without saying a word.

 This is actually not the first "ritual" that Yu Cang discovered.

The entry [Ritual] was something he got on the Ancestral Dragon Snow Mountain. Perhaps the method used by the forbidden card masters to summon the evil dragon that day was something similar.

In the past five years, where Yu Cang could not see, there must have been more banned card masters who have been affected by this new summoning system and created many related banned cards.

It's just that the ritual summoning that Zhao Yang came up with is just a prototype, so don't expect the rituals created by the card banners to be perfect.

Of course, among the banned cards, the solution to the imperfect system is quite simple—just make the price more cruel.

Zhao Yang's bitter tone at this time meant that he had realized this.

At the same time, he has also realized that perhaps countless lives have been lost in the past five years... all because of him, or in other words, inseparable from him!

His body began to tremble non-stop, and he was momentarily unsteady. He held on to the table next to him and his breathing became rapid.

"Xiao Yang." Hu Yanzhan quickly supported Zhao Yang, "How are you?"

"...Teacher." Zhao Yang's lips turned white, "Should...should be investigated by the admissions bureau soon, right?"

Hu Yanzhan didn't know what to say and could only sigh.

"It's hard to say." Yu Cang said, "It stands to reason that the Card Forbidden Master can detect the potential of the ritual summons, and the treatment bureau should have noticed it long ago. If they wanted to arrest you, you would have been arrested long ago."

Since Zhao Yang can still stand here, it means that there should be nothing wrong.

 Speaking of which...Zhao Yang's paper on the Awakening of the Dragon's True Yang is indeed given a high priority.

Yu Cang didn't even see this paper at first, and those ordinary scholars probably only heard that Zhao Yang created the prototype of the system, but they were still confused about what it was.

Zhao Yang clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles had turned white. He held back a sentence for a long time: "...I am guilty."

"Don't think so, knowledge is always guiltless." Yu Cang said, "Even without you, someone would have discovered this method of summoning sooner or later. At least now he was born under the watchful eye of the association, rather than being banned by someone. The card master made it in a dark corner.

"Even if you are at fault, it is just that you did not perfect it in time, which resulted in this semi-finished product with many loopholes being exploited. But it is not your fault, after all, you are knowledgeable." Zhao Yang was silent.

 What Yu Cang said makes sense.

 But... even if I had not been possessed by the worm five years ago, given my character at that time... I am afraid it would be difficult to perfect it now... The worm or something, in the final analysis, is just an excuse.

Seeing that Zhao Yang was still silent, Yu Cang reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Zhao Yang, actually you don't need to blame yourself so much." Yu Cang said, "All powers are barbaric at the beginning of their birth, that's why we need card makers. High-level summons are often used on people at the beginning of their birth. For the sacrifice, the initial totem making was also full of blood.

“Even now, in the fusions and synchronizations I create, there is a risk of losing control.”

 The fusion materials are actually not limited to soul cards; once dark synchronization is abused, the consequences will be very terrifying.

 Even though the seemingly safe connection and overload...the reason why they are safe is because Jie Ying and Ye Lai are trustworthy existences...and they have all given their true names to themselves.

"...Thank you, Yu Cang." Zhao Yang wiped his face, "Not to mention...Yu Cang, there are still many things I don't understand about ritual summoning. Can you continue to explain?"

 According to what Yu Cang said, the essence of consciousness is to use equivalence to cover up unequal exchange... Then there is actually no need to use "star order" as the carrier of equivalence.

 There are too many things that can achieve equivalence, such as race, attributes... and even borrowing from the "Devil's Altar", the body structure and even appearance are also acceptable!

These are easier to achieve than star level, and they are more powerful.

 “…Hmm.” Yu Cang nodded.

Indeed, from the current perspective, this ritual summoning relies on spell cards like fusion, and requires the addition of star levels like synchronization. It looks like a blend of the two.

 But in fact, there are essential differences.

“First of all, the most important point is that during the ritual summoning process, there is no need to pay additional soul energy for the materials that are sent to the death cooldown from the deck.”

"What?" Zhao Yang's eyes widened slightly, "Isn't this... too strong?"

 Although this one is very simple, there is a very scary message hidden behind it.

The first thing you need to know is that during fusion summoning, if the fusion spell card selects the soul cards in the deck as materials, then the user needs to pay soul energy for these materials.

This is equivalent to omitting the summoning process in the middle, but you have to provide the soul energy required for the summoning.

 But the summoned beasts on the field and in the death cooldown are not needed as materials - they all consume soul energy and have been in the game regularly, and they can be used in any way before the death cooldown ends.

If you have the ability, you can let him jump repeatedly in the graveyard and on the field to earn resources.

 And if the ritual summons can be sent directly to the death cooldown without consuming soul energy...

"Doesn't that mean that the death effects activated by those soul cards that were sent to the death cooldown did not consume soul energy?" Zhao Yang felt something was wrong, "Is this possible..."

You should know that many summoned beasts can activate some abilities even when they are on death cooldown.

This is no problem. After all, the entire process from the beginning of the summoning to the end of the death cooldown or reconnection is counted as a summons. Regardless of the summoning card or the spell card, as long as the ability is used during this period, it is generally not needed. Pay extra soul energy.

Like Yan He's Suppressing Ancient Demon's Corpse deck, those "Suppressing Talisman" can activate their abilities once after being disconnected due to the effect of Ancient Demon's Corpse. At this time, because they have not experienced regular appearances, they need to pay a little. Soul energy.

However, the Talisman Soul Cards are all specially made, so when you directly disconnect to activate the ability, the soul energy you need to pay is much less than normal use, so you can use a large number of Talisman in a short period of time, and it looks like there is no consumption. look.

"Don't be surprised, this is the characteristic of ritual summoning." Yu Cang said, "This property can indeed be matched with some summoned beasts that have the ability to die, but it also has restrictions, so it is not particularly strong."

"Is that so..." Zhao Yang thought for a while, "Then, in the subsequent battles, wouldn't it be possible to directly use the Holy Ascension Ritual to summon Critical Fierce Angel without any operations? Isn't the strength of this deck too high?"

He has seen the capabilities of Critical Fierce Angel. Although it is at the eighth level, its combat power is definitely far beyond.

 That ritual soul card can be given [Fierce Breath] once when summoned, which can trigger [Chanyeol], with almost no negative effects. At this time, using a Holy Breath on it and attaching a second layer of [Fierce Breath] can directly prevent the opponent from using spell cards, and all this is done just after the silent round has just ended.

Isn't this fierce?

"Of course it's not that simple." Yu Cang shook his head, "In ritual summoning, the soul card itself is used as the material, not the soul energy you pay for the soul card, so it can be sent directly from the deck to the grave. And in the entire During the summoning process, the only soul energy that must be paid is the ritual spell card, but the soul energy consumption of this soul card itself is not fixed."

Zhao Yang frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"You can understand it as a real ritual—a ritual that requires preparation in advance and meets many conditions." Yu Cang explained, "The more 'equivalent' conditions are met, the less soul energy is required for the ritual itself. .

“Back to your question. If you want to use a ritual spell card to summon Critical Fierce Angel at the beginning, then the soul energy you need to pay for this ritual may far exceed your upper limit of soul energy.

"But if you summon all the eight-star summoned beasts required for the ceremony to the field, and the condition of being on the field before and after the ceremony is also 'equivalent', then the soul energy consumed by the ceremony will be reduced accordingly. Cut. If the materials are all light attributes, then the soul energy consumption will be reduced again.

“And if you use the eighth-level 'Fire Angel' on the field as the material, there are more equivalent factors, then even the soul energy consumed by this ritual magic can be ignored!”

  Angel of Fire is the deck to which the Soul Card Holy Breath originally belonged.

This deck has only a few soul cards in total, or it can't even be called a deck, it can only be called a small axis.

 The way it works is: use "Holy Fierce Breath" on "Pious Practitioners". The characteristic of a "devout cultivator" is that whenever he is attacked by a fierce breath attack, he can accumulate "divine nature". When the divine nature accumulates to a certain amount, he can directly use this summoned beast as a sacrifice to summon an eighth-level fierce angel.

Then it disappeared. The strongest terminal of this set of small scrolls is only an eighth level, so it is not too strong. It is occasionally used as a plug-in by some light attribute decks. After all, the card Holy Breath has strength.

 Now that there is a ritual, after summoning the Fierce Angel, you can directly start the ceremony and make the same eighth-level but more powerful critical Fierce Angel! There will even be a second ceremony later to climb to a higher ceiling.

Zhao Yang seemed to understand: "This... so it still needs to be operated. I understand, the reason why star rank is used as the universal 'equivalence' condition is also because of this."

"That's right." Yu Cang nodded, "Theoretically, I can make a ritual spell card, which can directly convert ordinary quality true dragon cubs into A powerful dragon clan of the twelfth level.

“But in that case, there are too many unequal things, and the soul energy consumption and final quality of this ritual spell card may be very high. In that case, it may be better to just play it regularly.”

ˆ There is also a gap in effectiveness between different “equivalent conditions”. Even if there is no similarity between the material and the terminal, it can be said that "they are both physical existences"... The effectiveness of this equivalent condition can be said to be almost zero, and the soul energy required for the corresponding ritual will undoubtedly be quite exaggerated.

 Among all the equivalent conditions that can be achieved, star level is the easiest, most flexible and most effective one!

 It is precisely because of the existence of Star Level that this system can come to life! It can be said that the star level directly raises the lower limit of the ceremony to a very high level.

Of course, outside of the star level, the upper limit of ritual summoning is also exaggeratedly high. After all, you only need to meet the equivalent requirements to ignore other cumbersome summoning conditions. There is a lot of work to be done.

"I see, this is...a ritual." Zhao Yang's brows slowly relaxed.

 The air became quiet.

  Long time.

Zhao Yang suddenly sighed, raised his head and looked at Hu Yanzhan: "Teacher... I want to ask you something."

Hu Yanzhan couldn't help but frown.

It was the first time...that he saw Zhao Yang's tone. For a moment, an ominous premonition filled my heart.

"you say."

 “I want to go to the admission bureau to study.”

"What? You...do you know that once you enter the treatment bureau, you will have to remain anonymous, and if nothing else happens, you will never be seen in the light?"

"I know, but I have already decided." Zhao Yang wiped his face, "It is my fault that I did not complete the ceremony in time. I will use the rest of my life to make up for it."

 He raised his head and showed a clean smile to Yu Cang.

 “Thank you, Yu Cang.”
