While the crowd was celebrating the feat achieved by Chris, I went through the card info of the Coiling Rope item card created by Chris.
Honestly, I was disappointed by the Coilin Rope item card. What disappointed me more was the fact that Chris did not add extra abilities to the item card so that he could increase the grade of the item card. Due to the time constraints of the challenges he had chosen to focus on the grade of the card he was creating instead of its applications and uses.
It seems I had indeed overestimated Chris\'s mastery of card creation because of his peculiar origin card, Ancestral Inheritance.
Don\'t get me wrong, the Coiling Rope item card was a sound card and I would have respected its creator had it been created by a regular card creationist but it was not. I was excepting more from some with ancient knowledge of card creation at his disposal. I guess the Mental Erosion side effect of Chris\'s \'Ancestral Inheritance\' origin card was limiting him from showcasing its full potential.
I had a solution to the side effect of Chris\'s origin card, My calamity daughter gem. I wonder if he would be open to it.
Yes, I was planning to add Chris to my calamity daughter gem collection. His origin card was too good to pass on as it held all the Ancient knowledge and history of the card world from the point when the first card apprentice was born in Chris\'s maternal family.
What appealed to me most about Chris\'s origin card was its additional effect Ancestral Ego Gem, which allowed him to inherit and use the broken runes of his ancestors without any side effects asides from the mental erosion of course.
Hacking into Chris\'s grimoire I had already gone through all the cards equipped in it and none of them had time-related abilities or teleportation-related abilities, yet Chris had displayed both kinds of abilities, this could only mean that he gained these abilities through the broken runes of his ancestors that he inherited from his ancestral ego gem.
Asides from Cortney, my calamity daughter gem, and me, Chris was the third person I know with a mutated ego gem. I created my mutated ego gem using the dungeon calamity seed and Viltronian core, as for Cortney, Bloodette\'s involvement while forging her ego gem had led to the mutation in it as for Chris he had gained it through his origin card.
This discovery made me realize that there may be more mutated ego gems out there and maybe I wasn\'t the first to create a mutate ego gem.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Back to the topic, since Chirs\'s origin card had mutated his ego gem into the ancestral ego gem then could it mutate his divinity when he forges one during the card semi-demigod realm? I had little knowledge about divinity so I refrained from making bold guesses but I believe anything was possible and it was best to keep an open mind.
With Chris\'s card grandmaster realm and golden grimoire, he would be helpless against my calamity daughter gem but the question was how do I implant my calamity daughter gem into Chris without looking suspicious. Since the auction was filled with high-realm card apprentices, I decided not to act until Chris was taken into custody by the Southern Capital authorities.
Maybe later, I can use Myriad Devil transformation to disguise into a pebble or something and visit him in the prison to implant the calamity daughter gem in him. Calamity daughter gem was my biggest secret, so I chose to be very careful and not take any unnecessary risks when using it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to disappoint you but I did no miracle, the reason I was able to create an E-rank card using G-rank ingredients because one of the random ingredients provided to use was actually E-rank but had degraded to G-rank due to its damaged soul pathways," after the crowd finally calmed down Chris came clean and cleared the misunderstanding knowing that it will come sooner or later. Therefore, decided to come clean, act humble and gain a reputation as an honest person. Which was quite easy thanks to his opponent\'s reputation of being a fraud.
Even a bunch of thugs and conmen who stand up against the Devil will be considered heroes, so Chris who was up against a fraudster had easily gained the reputation of being an honest person.
With the sudden revelation made by Chris the audience and the viewers were confused as they could hear what Chris was saying but not understand what he was implying. Seeing the perplexed look of the audience, Chris briefly explained how the Nyon rope provide them was created using the brak fibers of an E-rank monster but its grade degrade as the creator was lousy and had damaged the soul pathways of the Nyon rope causing its grade to decrease from Common grade to Mortal grade.
With Chris\'s explanation most of the audience and viewers finally understood what he meant. Though the crowd was disappointed that their previous assumption was wrong soon the card creationists among the audience and viewers began to explain how hard and tedious it was to repair damaged soul pathways. They commenced and praised Chris for repairing the soul pathways of the Nyon rope and creating an E-rank card with it.
Once the audience and viewers finally understood what Chris had achieved in a limited time their earlier disappointment vanished and replaced with admiration. The influencer began to use it as a reason to defend Chris for creating his card five minutes slower than the silver milk fraudster.
