Sorting through my upgraded origin card and updated physique and traits stat I then turned my attention to the Cloud emperor’s severed head and my new Calamity daughter card Cloud Lord.

The new ability of Calamity daughter core to switch from the core form to the card form was thanks to one of the perks Calamity Soul Gem picked up from Ego Gem. Now I understood what Anna meant by using runes to make cards. But this also left many unanswered questions in my mind, why not directly use the comprehended rules instead of extracting runes from them and forging them into cards.

I was yet to comprehend a single rule so I could not experiment as to why I cannot use the rules directly rather than going through all the hassle of forming runes and then turning them into cards. What was the reason behind this? And why were the rune spirits amazed that I could see their runes? I guess I will be contacting Anna very soon again. So much for hoping to not meet that minx again. There’s still so much Anna has not taught me about the Ego Gems purposefully.

Shaking my mind, I brought my focus to the matter at hand, Calamity Daughter Card – Cloud Lord.

[Card Name: Cloud Lord ‘Claude’

Card Type: Named Calamity Daughter Gem

Card Rank: A-rank(upgradable), Unique Grade

Card Rating: -/-

Card Durability: -/-

Card Effect: The broken Rune ‘Cloud’ has fused with Calamity Daughter Gem and revived in the form of its deceased owner Card emperor Claude using the false spirit created by the broken rune from the memories of its owner.

Additional effect: Rule ‘cloud’, Hive AI, Viltronian Physique, Immortal Core, Body Restructure, Transformation.

Note: Due to its broken state the runes realm has decreased to card lord realm. The rune can be upgraded by providing nourishment from Calamity Soul Gem]

The Broken rune ‘cloud’ which had manifested as its creator’s spirit using its memories has fused with Calamity daughter Gem, giving it a body made up of clouds and properties of Viltronian physique. Basically, the rune has turned into a replica of young Claude with a cloud elemental body and viltronian physique. Due to the influence of the viltronian physique, the cloud element body of Claude looks young. After all, a Millennium is nothing in terms of a viltronian’s life span.

The Cloud lord also inherited the core additional abilities of the Calamity Daughter Gem such as Hive AI, Immortal Core, Body Restructure and Transformation. Making it a Named Daughter Gem. What’s eye-catching is that the card info shows that it has a unique grade, an upgradable rank with no card ratings and durability. Not to mention its ability the Rule ‘Cloud’.

The most incredible thing is that I can control this Cloud Lord with Hive AI. Meaning I did not have to worry about the repercussions of using a Broken Rune as it was a slave to my Hive AI. I never had to worry about the broken rune trying to possess my body. Not that it’s possible since it was reduced to being my slave trying to possess me in the first place. The juiciest part is that thanks to Anna’s gift, the severed head I could create five more of such slave cards.

Without any delay, I entered the dying Ego Gem to find the other five broken runes.

“Guys, I am back” I yelled entering the dying Ego Gem.

“…” The 5 broken Runes which had manifested into spirit form in the shape of their owners from their memories looked at me speechlessly.

“Wait! Aren’t you supposed to be erased? Where is Old black?” The old green broken rune asked the obvious questions that came to all 5 broken runes’ minds.

“Who cares, He is mine.” Old purple having learnt his lesson from last time he did not hesitate this time and rushed towards me before his compatriot could react.

[Alert: Calamity Soul Gem detected an imminent threat to the host consciousness]

[Calamity Soul Gem activating]

[Calamity Soul Gem active]

[Host Soul Recalled to Calamity Soul Gem]

[Calamity Soul Core engaging the threat]

[Calamity Soul Core eliminated remnant spirit, Brontes]

[Threat neutralised]

[Calamity Soul core swallowed a broken Rune ‘Lightning’]

[Broken Rune ‘Lightning’ now available in Calamity Soul Gem]

[Calamity Soul Gem seeking hosts permission to sacrifice broken Rune ‘Lightning’, will you allow it?]

[Allow/Decline]

“Now that was easy” I went fishing in the dying Ego gem and caught a Broken Rune without much effort. I thought they would be more cautious seeing me alive and their buddy Claude dead. I guess the Brontes fellow is not good at using his brain.

“Well, time to go fishing again” And I dove into the dying Ego Gem. Let’s see if I can catch a broken rune faster than the last time.

“Fellow’s your ride is back again, which one of you wants to go next,” I said to the remaining 4 broken gems.

“How are you doing that? Where are the old black and purple? What happened to them?” Old Green no longer dared to look down on me because of my age and low realm.

“You mean Claude and Brontis, they are recuperating in my Ego Gem. I asked them to come and help me invite you guys to my Ego Gem but they rejected me saying it will become crowded and they do not want to share an Ego Gem again with you guys.

I get what they are saying but I have a card duel soon and the opponent is too strong and I need to win no matter what. so I need all the help I need therefore I came to make an offer to you folks, help me and you can stay in my Ego Gem.” I can see that all the remaining broken runes are cautious towards me and did not dare to underestimate me as I took down the second strongest of them without effort. There I cooked up a cockamamie story to lure them into a trap my calamity Soul Gem.

“Fine, I will move to your Ego Gem. But know this I will only help when the situation is dire.” Old Green was the first to fall for my trap.

“Old green, what are you doing? It may be a trap.” Old yellow warned Old Green.

“So what? We are going to die if we stay in this Ego Gem anyway. I do not know about you guys but I want to achieve my creator’s wishes for that I have to live. So, I will take my chances with the kid.” Old Green was practical about his current situation. As expected, these broken runes are slaves to the feelings, desires that their card apprentice had while creating them.

“… I am coming too. I have to reach the demigod realm as my creator hoped.” Old Blue followed Old Green. Seeing Old Blue and Green, Old Yellow followed them adding, “I too am yet to achieve my master’s desire. I will not rest till I do”

Old Red did not say anything; he just followed the other three. As all of them had no choice but to take the risk or die with the dying Ego Gem.
