[TL;DR - This card was gifted to Anna by her mother when she was going to attend Morning Star university. At that time, Anna was of the Card Master realm and only had a golden grimoire. Therefore the card Mother's Love is of A-rank, the maximum limit of card rank a golden grimoire can hold.]
...
"Who are you calling an airhead bimbo, you old hag. Believe it or not, I will smash a fist-sized hole in your mouth with my Giga punch." Anna yelled in rage, hearing Yin Widow call her an airhead bimbo.
"How could a dumb bitch like you decipher the trap card responsible for the deaths of dozens of Ancient and modern demigods? You aren't an actual demigod, to begin with.
You yelled that embarrassing chant to activate a card, didn't you? I bet that card helped you decipher the trap. Considering the family full of demigods guardians backing you, this is not surprising. I guess I cannot take you in without some sacrifice." Yin Widow had underestimated Anna and believed that she was nothing but a spoiled brat with a rich and powerful family. But seeing how Anna could decipher her trap with outside help or not, Yin Widow realized not to underestimate the love and tolerance of the rich and powerful for their spoiled children. She, herself, was the best example of such parents. She would do anything for her son.
"Nooo… You couldn't be so wrong. I deciphered this trap by myself. All I had to do was ask myself, why are you only summoning five undead demigods when you have dozens of demigods?
Even if the narrow space of the stadium were constraining you, if I were you, I would still summon as many undead as possible. So the limited space cannot be why you did not raise the remaining undead.
Is it friendly fire? All your summons as undead. They neither fear pain nor losing a limb because they can put themselves back together as long as their core is intact. So the friendly fire also cannot be why you did not raise the remaining undead.
Eliminating the two apparent reasons, I was also puzzled by your choice of only summoning five undead demigods. Unable to understand the reason to be home, your reasoning behind the actions, I had no choice but to continue to escape.
While escaping, I noticed an interesting pattern in the five undead that kept chasing me. They would only use skills to attack me when I was near an unmarked, marked grave, but when I was near one of the five open marked graves, they would chase me. I found it odd at first but seeing how the pattern repeated itself. I knew there was something here you did not want to be caught in friendly fire.
At first, I could put my finger on it, but remember that high-ranking undead can hide their cores in a secure vessel. I knew why the five undead did not attack me when I neared one of the five open marked graves. I realized that the two obvious reasons I thought of earlier were indeed why you did not summon the rest of your undead army.
The reason why you did not make any big moves or summon other undead is that you were afraid that their graves would be caught in the crossfire. Constrained by the limited space of the stadium, the more undead you summoned, the more open marked graves you must watch out for.
But still, I was not sure about it as I did not understand why only avoid open marked graves and not the other marked graves? Maybe because the marked graves with the undead in them are invulnerable to damage, unlike the open marked graves. The conclusion I reached was far-fetched, so I decided to find an answer through action. And that's how I deciphered your trap." Anna, word by word, narrated what her mother's spirit clone explained to her. She did not seem to mind taking all the credit for finding the weakness of the Undead Graveyard trap card.. But still, Anna using the field card did limit Yin Widows trap card, so Anna did deserve some of the credit.
