*VMMM* *VMASH* *VMMM* *VMM*
Sounds could be heard when the energy sabers burned through the air as I waved them, mimicking my childhood fantasy character. Greatly enthused I was looking forward to using the eight energy sabers in the war tonight.
“Stop waving around those energy sabers before you hurt yourself, you look like a child who has found a new toy,” Agatha complained from within my shadow.
“Shut up Agatha, don’t ruin this for me,” I yelled at Agatha before realizing that the moment was gone.
“…” Being yelled at, Agatha looked at the boy wondering if he was for real, she did not understand what could be attractive about a couple of energy swords. Shaking her head she thought, ‘All card creationists are quirky.’
Learning that the modifications made to energy saber handles were working fine with soul energy as fuel I then decided to switch the fuel to rule power, Blood rule power.
*PSHEW*
Soon after the neon blue blades of the eight saber handles retracted they were replaced by ominous neon red blades. These blades did not make sounds when they came in contact with air like the soul energy blades. Which dampened my excitement for the energy sabers a lot. I don’t know about others but the energy sabers without their awespringing sound effects were a deal breaker for me.
“Holy shit,” Agatha cussed seeing the eight blood rule powered saber blades, and continued to say, “How is that even possible? Wyatt, what the fuck did you do?”
The shock of rule-powered energy sabers unconsciously brought out Agatha’s street tongue back into play despite her years of eloquence training.
“What? Have you never seen rune items?” I answered Agatha with a question instead.
“Don’t be smug, of course, I know about rune items, I have been using them since before you were born. But how did you turn the energy swords into a rune item? You clearly don’t have the ingredients to pull that off, ” Agatha did not lie rune items were common for high-ranking card apprentices.
“I made do with what I had, don’t sweat the small details, we have work to do and places to be,” saying that I deactivated the energy saber card and the partial gigamite physique. Then sat back on the couch to create artificial ego gem cards for the Fine gold trio. So that they will be able to use the ego elemental cards that I was planning to give them. Following the steps that I used to create sterile calamity ego gems for the energy sword handles, in no time I created the required artificial ego gem cards and then chanted, “Summons Possession – Elusive Aerial Viltronian Puss.”
With the completion of the chant, my boy morphed, a feline tail grew at the end of my tail bone and white feline fur covered my arms, legs, back, and back of my neck. While my hair turned white and grew longer looking like a white lion’s mane. The black fur of the Elusive Aerial puss turned white after it evolved into the Elusive Aerial Viltronian Puss. I did not complain because I liked the new look more than the previous one.

[Author’s note: I did not want to waste word count listing all the additional abilities of the calamity daughter gem the elusive spirit gained after fusing with it, so I directly listed the calamity daughter gem as an additional effect.]
…
Soon following the location shared by Cindy I wind walked to the fine gold carrier floaters and landed on the deck of the carrier floater in the lead, where Cindy, Diana, Jaya, and Van were awaiting my arrival.
“Welcome, boss,” the trio greeted me in unison, in response I gave them a nod and watched as the air traffic police hovercars lead the carrier floaters as they flew over the sun blossom city airstrip without landing and headed to the northern part of the city where the Circle’s sun blossom city branch headquarters was located. I had Cheng to thank for this. Through his influence, he had the fine gold carrier floaters enter the city disguising the visit as merchant purpose, skipping the regular check at the air toll booths.
Seeing that the plan was going on smoothly and as planned I contacted my new calamity daughter gem, the circle’s in-house disciple of the yin-yang harmony sect, and informed him to be prepared to commence with the plan that we had previously discussed at my command.
I did this before arriving at the Circle’s headquarters because they must have been already notified of the suspicious carrier floater heading their way. So if the circle decides to act on this information, I had ordered my new calamity daughter gem to immediately execute the plan that we had previously agreed upon. This way the members of the circle will be trapped in the array by the time the floater carriers get to the headquarters. And hopefully, all of the members of the circle’s sun blossom branch will be present there. It would be great if I could end all of this tonight without having to search the entire city for the remnants of the Circle’s sun blossom city branch.
After relaying instructions to the Yin-Yang harmony sect disciple, I turned to look at the Fine Gold trio and Van. Then said, “I have made all the preparations to ensure that we get an easy and overwhelming win against the circle. Still, many variables are unaccounted for therefore I have prepared these cards that will be helpful for you guys during the upcoming war. And in return, all I ask of you guys is to ensure that the casualty is to the minimum.”
I did not ask them to win the upcoming war because I believed we would win the war but at what cost was the million-dollar question. Not being able to answer that question was what bothered me. Therefore I tried everything that would possibly help me keep the casualties to the minimum knowing that not waging the war was not an option.
Soon I handed Cindy, Diana, and Jaya an artificial ego gem card each along with an ego elemental card. The trio curiously took the cards that I handed to them and their expressions could not be more vivid as they went through the card info of the two cards I had just gifted them.
“Awesome,” Jaya yelled. As for Diana and Cindy, both tried hard to control their turbulent feelings, and then in unison, they thanked me, “Thank you, boss.”
“…” Shaking my head at their excitement, keeping a few ego elementals for myself I hand the remaining ego elemental cards to Van with instructions, “Keep one for yourself and distribute the rest to the other leaders.”
“Yes, boss,” Van placed the ego elemental cards that I handed to him in his card holder and flew to other carrier floaters to distribute the remaining cards among his fellow comrades, the calamity daughter gems.
“Sister, I got earth rule ego elemental which one did you get?” Jaya asked Diana in excitement. As this was her first rune card.
“I got a wind ego elemental,” Daina respond to her over-enthused younger sister. She could not blame her sister because she too was equally excited about the cards and her boss. Today for the first time she felt that she made the right choice. Back when the southern emperor visited her on behalf of her boss she was shocked but not as this enthusiastic because the southern emperor only cared for their boss not her, but now these cards showed that their boss who was valued by the southern emperor valued them.
