Above the glittering stars, the spark of "civilization" shines brightly in this deep universe.

The universe is so vast that even until their demise, these civilizations could only glimpse a corner of this magnificent epic.

But the universe is very small, at least pitifully small for civilizations in the basic world.

The Chaos Dragon stood in the void, reaching out towards the vast starry river in the distance, but its fingertips touched an invisible wall.

Like pebbles falling into a pond, intricate blue runes spread outwards in concentric circles from the fingertip, then quickly disappeared, returning to calm.

The starry sky behind the transparent wall remained unchanged. It was still beautiful, almost unreal.

Behind her, several “corpses” floated silently, among which three huge “corpses” were particularly eye-catching.

【Thor, the Supreme God Emperor】

【Loki, the Supreme God Emperor】

【Odin, the Supreme Holy Emperor】

The "corpse" showed no sign of pain on its face, and floated slowly around the wall as if asleep.

"I thought it was another elite soldier sent by the gods, but I didn't expect it to be you."

In the center of the "horde of corpses," space twisted to form a "door," from which a person walked out.

Visas-Amridoro

"Long time no see, Lord [Chaos]."

The Chaos Dragon withdrew its gaze and turned to look at Vessas.

"Long time no see, it seems even more crowded here now."

After clearing a path through the "corpses," Vessas flew to the side of the Chaos Dragon.

"Since Lord [Balance] was sealed, the number of spies sent by the God Realm has increased, but under [Illusion], they are nothing more than additional nourishment for the Heavenly Prison."

These "corpses" are not dead, but rather hypnotized by [illusion], becoming "power banks" to maintain the transparent wall of the "heavenly prison".

The entire basic world is shrouded in the "Heavenly Prison" created by the King of Heavenly Prison. Vessas and [Illusion] are the jailers of this prison, guarding the only "door" leading to the outside world.

The others were all prisoners.

Xing Liang: I'm not going back tonight.

Xing Ya: Where to?

Xing Liang: If something's wrong, don't worry about it.

Xing Ya: Your indifference makes me feel like a stranger :(

Xing Liang: ( ̄(エ) ̄)

Xing Liang: [Transfer]

Xing Ya: Boss is so generous!

Their interactions were so simple and unpretentious.

Xing Ya happily accepted Xing Liang's transfer.

She was also worried about Xing Liang, but not much.

Hilarious! She's very clear about her own position. If there's anything Xing Liang can't handle, what can a nobody like her do to him? Give the enemy credit?

Sending someone's head from a thousand miles away, the gift is light but the sentiment is heavy (crossed out).

Putting her phone away, Xing Ya continued browsing through small accessories.

She now works in a jewelry store on the pedestrian street, where there are many young girls around her age.

The effect of engraving the card image onto items other than the card itself will vary depending on the material, but as long as the complete card image is available, it can be used normally at least once.

For example, if you completely engrave the image of "Lightning Strike" on a piece of paper, then injecting energy into the paper will activate a real "Lightning Strike" effect. However, the paper itself will not be able to withstand the energy and will burn up, so it can only be used once.

Carving the card image on a more solid object allows for more uses; the four stone tablets in the center of the royal city are a good example. Items with the card image carved on them are collectively called "magic artifacts".

The jewelry that Xing Ya is selecting uses micro-carving techniques to completely engrave different card images on gemstones and metals, making it easy to carry while allowing energy to be injected to activate its effects when necessary.

These ornaments are mostly engraved with offensive magic and trap cards. The effects of the micro-engraved card images are not strong, but they are more than enough for young women to carry for self-defense.

【Explosive Armor】

【Dimensional wall】

[Dimensional Confinement]

If a certain amount of elven power is stored in the gemstones of the jewelry beforehand, even ordinary people can use it. Therefore, although these jewelry pieces are not cheap, they are quite popular.

"If you are not satisfied with the result, you can hand over the magic card you want to be engraved to the shop and have it engraved on the spot."

Seeing Xing Ya frowning as she stared at the ornaments, Mai, realizing she didn't like their effect, reminded her.

Engraving a card design on jewelry is different from making a card. Because the goal is not to achieve a perfect effect, the engraved card design will not be very detailed and can be completed in about half an hour.

With that, Mai handed a magic card along with the chosen carving materials to the shopkeeper.

The Harpy's Feather Blizzard

"Alright, I'll have this one engraved!"

Pretending to rummage through her bag, Xing Ya secretly opened the system space, took out the magic card, and handed the card to be engraved to the staff.

【Dragon-like Fear-Energy Peptide - Shell】

A counter-trap that even the original DPS deck might not deploy. It can only be activated during the Battle Phase. Its effect is to Special Summon a 10-star Token with 3000 DEF and Taunt this turn.

"Is this magic card... also from the Fear-Energy series?"

Mai was curious when she saw the card; she had never seen this card before, even after dueling with Xing Liang so many times.

"It's a counter-trap from the Fear-Energizer series. My brother thought this card's effect was useless, so he didn't include it in his deck, but I quite like it."

It can only be activated during the opponent's combat phase, making it utterly useless.

"The dinosaur is like a dinosaur attacking its prey. If you only think about defense, the prey will find an opportunity to kill you."

These are Xing Liang's original words when he helped her modify the structure.

With a touch of rebelliousness, she disobeyed Xing Liang's advice and secretly slipped a card into the construction, just in case it came in handy.

Xing Ya picked out two flat rubies, each about the size of a little finger joint, for carving in the selection area. After painfully paying for them, she was dragged out of the jewelry store by Klaus and the others.

"Teacher Tekacia, what do you think of this?"

After agreeing with the shopkeeper to come back and pick it up in a while, Xing Ya and her companions entered another shop selling "semi-magical artifacts".

For ordinary people, decorative magical artifacts are still a bit of a luxury because they are consumables. Most people would choose to buy "semi-magical artifacts" that are printed with magical card images, which are more cost-effective. Although their lifespan is not as long as that of engraved artifacts, they are cheaper.

Many magic cards have unexpected uses outside of duels. For example, the "Inspection" card is printed in public places such as train stations to check for dangerous items in luggage, while the "Lightning Rod" card is painted on the top of buildings for lightning protection.

Those who successfully awaken but do not become Magic Card Masters are hired at high prices to infuse these "magical artifacts" and "semi-magical artifacts" with elven power. This is why people in this world value awakening rituals.

Even if you are useless and incompetent, as long as you successfully awaken, you will be set for life.

In this world, even ordinary people who fail to awaken their powers cannot live without the presence of the Magic Card in their daily lives.
