The Ingredients I was going to use for my Second origin card were all rare and some were even restricted ingredients. But the total cost was within $100 million as three of the key ingredients… Dungeon Calamity Seed, Gore Bat Ear Bone and Gore Bat Core were gifted to me by Elliott.
While C-rank Kaiju Heart and C-rank Hungry Soulpoles were also rare and restricted incidents, not many Card apprentices use these ingredients mostly because there are very few card recipes that require these ingredients and the available card recipes are complex and less in demand barely fetching them enough profits for the effort it took to create the cards.
C-rank Kaiju heart is what you call an advanced ingredient because most of the Card recipes it is used in are advanced card recipes. Kaiju heart is used by the card apprentice to create their very own version of Frankenstein’s monster cards or you can also call them Chimaera creature summon cards. With Kaiju heart as a key ingredient, you can create a whole lot of freaky more like abomination summon cards.
There are not a lot of Chimaera summon card recipes because the chimaera creature’s body created using various parts of different monsters is barely stable when converted to card their card durability will be very low. To master these chimaera card recipes a lot of time and resources is required but card apprentices are not willing to buy a hideous creature when they can buy a cute or heroic summon card at the same cost.
Due to its nightmare level mastery requirements and low market demand Card apprentices shun these recipes making a rare ingredient like Kaiju heart stock up over the period and be available in large quantities, due to this they are also cheaper.
Next comes Hungry Soulpoles they are small tadpoles like creatures hence the name Soulpoles, inexperienced eyes may even mistake them for tadpoles. What’s special about these Hungry Soulpoles is that they are so tiny that their core is their body. They feed by directly absorbing the soul energy in their surroundings and move by developing limbs or extensions made up of soul energy constructs. So basically their tail is a soul energy construct. And fend off the predators using pure attacks made up of solely soul energy untainted by elemental or spirit energy.
This dream of purely creating a body or body parts with soul energy constructs still haunts many top card creationists, A body or a body part purely made up of just soul energy no flesh no blood just soul energy similar to some spirits and elementals. I chose Hungry Soulpoles over the spirits and elementals because it is proven that Soul energy body extensions created by Hungry Soulpoles are much more solid, stronger, durable and close to flesh and blood in appearance compared to the soul energy bodies of Spirits and elementals.
Many card creationists have tried to create card recipes for Hungry Soulpoles abilities but failed disastrously because the cores of Hungry Soulpoles are of Tadpole size due to which their soul pathway arrangements is very congested and cramped making it difficult for the card creationists to decipher their soul pathway arrangement. But the government has gathered countless expert card creationists and poured in enormous resources to uncover the soul pathway arrangements of Hungry Soulpoles and create card recipes for the abilities of Hungry Soulpoles.
Even if the government is successful, the copyright of card recipes made using this research is going to cost a buttload. Until then even though Hungry Soulpoles are rare they can easily be procured at a cheaper price if you have the right connections.
Heathen Stone is mostly used to create mental strength proof walls for prisons and other secure places. Heathen Stone shavings are mixed in the concrete so that a card apprentice’s mental strength is unable to pass through the walls to eavesdrop or spy on the other side of the wall. Some use these heathen stones to create pure heathen stone prisons to imprison the minds and mental strength of the prisoner in a never-ending illusion. And some maniacs even try to enhance and strengthen their mental strength using these stones.
I lust for power but am not crazy enough to endure years of mental torture to enhance and strengthen my mental strength, that’s just inhuman and crosses the boundary of normal to fetishism. And there is no guarantee that after undergoing strengthening of mental strength through heathen stone one is human anymore. I was going to use the Heathen stone vault for defence.
Even though the Dungeon calamity seed’s Will/consciousness is asleep but when it comes in contact with a certain amount of soul energy or feels threatened it will awaken. And I was planning on using it as an ingredient so it is safe to say once I proceed with this plan I will awaken the consciousness of the calamity seed and face its retaliation, once that happens I plan on using the heathen stone vault to imprison consciousness of the calamity seed and by the time it breaks free I should transfer the soul pathways and soul pathway arrangements of calamity seed to origin core such that the calamity seed doesn’t have a body to return to. And without a body to return to the calamity seed’s consciousness will die.
I did not plan on using calamity seeds consciousness as many mysteries are surrounding it and it is also rumoured to be immortal, instead of using it I might be enslaved by it… so I plan to stay clear of it. What I was planning to do was very risky, I was not only endangering my life but the entire sky blossom city, because if Calamity seed enslaves me instead of me using it then the sky blossom city will be facing a disastrous calamity.
After checking all the ingredients I proceed with the plans to create my second origin card. The first step is to deal with the calamity seed’s consciousness. After this bomb is dealt with I can calm my nerves and peacefully proceed further with card creation.
I take the Heathen stone vault and place it horizontally and afterwards crush a soul jade into powder. Then mix one-third of soul jade powder with mud. Next, I fill the Heathen stone vault with a mixture of soul jade powder and mud. Sowing the calamity seed in the mud I hurriedly lock the vault.
The soul energy in the mud was enough to awaken the consciousness of the calamity seed but not enough to satisfy it, unable to get more soul energy the seed will try to check what happened by letting out its mental strength to probe. And during this probe, the mental strength of the calamity seed will come in contact with the heathen stone and then instantly the mental strength and consciousness of the seed will be stripped and imprisoned in the illusion of heathen stone.
And how will I know if the calamity seed’s mental strength and consciousness are stripped and imprisoned in the illusion of the heathen stone vault? When consciousness is trapped in the heathen stone its surface begins to glow. Using this property of heathen stone I will know if the calamity seed’s mental strength and consciousness are stripped and imprisoned in the illusion of the heathen stone vault.
3 minutes after locking the vault the heathen stone prison started to glow indicating the capture of the calamity seed’s mental strength and consciousness within it. I waited for 10 seconds just to be sure and hastily opened the vault and dug out the calamity seed.
After placing the calamity seed and origin core on the grimoire card creation page, I close my eyes and pour my mental strength into the grimoire to begin transferring soul pathways and soul pathway arrangements of the dungeon calamity seed into the origin core using all four of my consciousness the fastest speed possible. 15 min later I was finally done transferring soul pathways and soul pathway arrangements of the dungeon calamity seed into the origin core.
*sigh* letting out a sigh I glanced at the glowing heathen stone vault at the corner of the card room, the glow on it was slowly getting dimmer and dimmer until finally, the heathen stone stopped glowing completely.
After I completely transferred the soul pathways and the soul pathway arrangements of the dungeon calamity seed into the origin core, the consciousness of the calamity seed lost its connection with its seed body which kept it immortal. Losing connection with the calamity seed body the calamity seed consciousness was no longer immortal nor had the energy to sustain itself independently so it slowly dissipated into nothingness.
Now that threat of the calamity seed was taken care of I could relax and peacefully continue with the creation of my second origin card.
