Chapter 1080 - The Bothersome Deity Warden (1/2)

[Cassidy Viviani (Contrast Deity Warden) Offense 20 Defense 20: Unique Deity Warden. Unfuseable. Dominator of Contrast. Realm Reversal. Absolute Domination. Master of Order’s rules. Skills—Force of Reversal (All things in the world perish and are born relative to each other)

Realm of Contrast (All things shall be reversed)

Deity Warden Authority (Release skills with absolute suppression properties)

Reflecting Mirror (All attacks targeting the holder will be reflected)

Fusion of Order (Chaos and Order will always be at the opposite end of balance)]

Cassidy’s abilities weren’t considered weak. Even though she seemed to possess only a few abilities, this actually proved that she didn’t need any complicated supporting skills to display her true strength. Cassidy dominated with only one move and only a few people in this continent would be able to stop her. In fact, didn’t Rhode also fall into her trap? This went to show that Cassidy’s abilities were indeed terrifying and no wonder Marlene and Alice thought that she was only second to Christie among the six Deity Wardens.

Cassidy’s abilities weren’t hard to understand. They were simply the reversal of realms. She could transform anything into its respective presence in contrast, be it physical, magical, or conceptual. Everything was within the range of her transformation. Besides, she could also deflect all attacks and Rhode didn’t manage to witness this ability during their battle. It seemed like this ability was only available for Cassidy in her ‘perfect’ form now. Fortunately, she wasn’t able to use the ability in her soul fragment back then. If not, Rhode would have had a much harder time defeating her. Furthermore, what caught his attention was the final line of information. Although he did mention that Order and Chaos were relative, it was apparent that it had a deeper meaning as this spirit card specially mentioned it… Perhaps the relationship between Order and Chaos wasn’t as simple as he thought.

But now, Rhode gazed at the card with a rather complicated emotion because just a few moments ago, his younger sister told him the reason why they ‘switched places’ due to the power of contrast. It was, in fact, due to the resonance caused by his younger sister’s soul fragment. And now, after Cassidy was awakened by Rhode’s spiritual power, she could no longer use the ‘Realm of Contrast’ to make him switch places with his younger sister. The reason was because her power had fused with Rhode and as her master, he would naturally be immune to her abilities.

In fact, Cassidy didn’t leave a good first impression on Rhode. Moreover, he had also ridiculously fallen into her trap. Even though he didn’t mention anything now, it was apparent from the fact that he didn’t seal her up as one of the Ten Strongest Spirit Decks that he was discontent with her. No matter what, it was impossible for Rhode to have a nice impression of her after being tricked by her unconscious self.

But now, since she returned, Rhode had no reason to imprison her anymore. It was about time to release her. At this thought, he extended his hand and along with his movement, the black and white card with a mirror imprinted on it spun quickly. Then, a familiar system prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Detected Core Card. Confirm to join the Ten Strongest Spirit Decks?]

Yes.

Sweeping a glance at the system prompt, Rhode answered firmly. All of a sudden, a large, magical ritual consisting of three circles appeared with him in the middle. He tapped it gently with his right finger and the card of black and white flew toward the center of one of the circles engraved with strange symbols.

[Appointed Core Card. Base Position. Begin fusion]

Shortly after, the card of black and white emanated a dazzling brilliance and a petite figure could be seen appearing from within. Then, Cassidy emerged before him. But unlike what she looked like before, her rather revealing white, leather armor had transformed into a pure, white dress with long sleeves. She looked just like a girl from a wealthy family, which was a world of difference from her previous look of a wild warrior. But the same enormous sword that could be used for teppanyaki was still hanging on her back. Could this also be the result of the power of contrast?

“Ah… I-I… Greetings… Your Majesty…”

Cassidy seemed to have returned to normal… or perhaps not as she winced and addressed Rhode cautiously like a young lady being robbed by a hooligan in an empty alley. Her clearly disturbed gaze left Rhode completely speechless.

Do I really look like a bad person?

“Don’t stand on ceremony, Cassidy.”

Rhode responded and waved his hand airily. But to his surprise, Cassidy curled up at the sight of his moving hand and took several steps back instinctively. Judging from her reactions, Rhode seemed like a savage who whipped his slaves whenever he was in a bad mood, while Cassidy was the good-for-nothing slave whom he took his anger out on.
