"What am I missing?" Wyatt mused aloud as he finished sifting through the series of notifications in his grimoire. Although surprised by Clown Mask's authority as his daughter gem advancing to the coveted bloodkin-tier, Wyatt's immediate reaction was to wonder what had changed in the past few seconds for his cursed primordial bloodline to deem Clown Mask worthy of inheriting it.

He pondered deeply, yet nothing notable came to mind. Even after having the Hive Spirit replay his memories multiple times, he found nothing within his memories that would suddenly prompt his cursed primordial bloodline to recognize Clown Mask as worthy. All they had done was discuss her incomplete physique and her relations.h.i.+p with Cortney. Neither seemed significant enough to elicit such a response from his cursed primordial bloodline.

Oblivious to his surroundings, Wyatt continued straining his mind, trying to deduce the criteria behind his cursed primordial bloodline's choice of inheritors. But then Clown Mask's voice broke his contemplation, "Master, I seem to have advanced to bloodkin-tier and gained the bloodline ability 'Blood Fate Memory"

"I received the notification as well," Wyatt replied, s.h.i.+fting his thoughts to the bloodline ability. 'Blood Fate Memory appeared to be a derivative of his Blood Fate Plunder meaning of the blood rule. While he wasn't surprised that his bloodline shared a derivative of his first blood rule rune with his daughter gem, he was intrigued that it provided Clown Mask with an ability that complemented her physique well enough to form a combo. It showed how informed it was about Wyatt and his daughter gems.

From selecting its inheritors among his daughter gems to bestowing suitable abilities upon the chosen ones, the cursed primordial bloodline executed all of these decisions autonomously, without Wyatt's permission. This concerned him greatly, as he had little knowledge of the cursed primordial bloodline beyond its origin, that he had gained it while comprehending the blood rule.

What was there for Wyatt to be concerned over his cursed primordial bloodline being autonomous? Weren't all bloodline's like that? Why couldn't Wyatt simply accept his gains and feel at ease?

Wyatt's synchronization rate was at 200%; he had complete control over both his bodies, all his forms, and his prowess-except the cursed primordial bloodline. For a regular card apprentice, this might not be an issue, but it was different for him as a young celestial. Ilis control over his mortal body and its prowess should have been unparalleled and unchallenged, yet his cursed primordial bloodline remained beyond his grasp, disregarding his celestial will.

Having encountered someone like DemiG.o.d Redfall, who used the bloodline memory meaning of the blood rule to escape death and reincarnate within a descendant carrying his purest bloodline, Wyatt. had good reason to worry.

Then, he had met Adriene and observed her trait, 'Inner G.o.ddess'-an ent.i.ty equal to or stronger than a ruler-cla.s.s being that had attached itself to a promising soul as a leech, aiming to escape the reincarnation cycle by being reborn through it. How could Wyatt still be unconcerned?

Wyatt's dilemma with his cursed primordial bloodline felt like a blend of Sarah and Adriene's experiences. When Sarah first began to comprehend the blood rule, the initial meaning she grasped was bloodline memory. She had no idea why she chose it, nor why it came so easily. Sarah instead of questioning it accepted it unsuspectingly, only to later discover that Redfall's bloodline within her body had been subtly manipulating her.

It was forging a bridge between her mutated ego gem and the river of souls through bloodline memory meaning, allowing Redfall's soul to avoid erasure of his individuality from breath of erosion by entering Sarah's mutated ego gem to leave spiritual plane and effectively use her body to be reborn in the physical plane. If not for Wyatt and Bloodette, Redfall would have succeeded in his body heist from the afterlife.

Then there was Adriene's trait, 'Inner G.o.ddess, which had been leeching her soul energy-the very energy that would have made her the youngest demiG.o.d in the Card World, surpa.s.sing even DemiG.o.d Baylor's record. Instead, she became a target for the World Leaders, nearly bringing her family to ruin if not for the magnanimity of the Southern Ruler.

What's more, the ent.i.ty even had the gall to act as her benefactor, lending her temporary demiG.o.d-level strength and a divine barrier. Unsurprisingly, unsuspecting Adriene regarded the leech as a benefactor, feeling immense grat.i.tude toward it.

Cautious by nature, Wyatt couldn't ignore the similarity between his situation and their situation. Knowing all this, how could he still not be troubled by the existence of an unknown bloodline functioning autonomously within him? Though it acted in his favor now, there was no guarantee it would continue to do so in the future when he were at his weakest, or that it was not part of some hidden conspiracy.

Various possibilities regarding his cursed primordial bloodline crossed Wyatt's mind, but only two seemed plausible, as he had seen them happen to others he knew:

i) The bloodline might belong to a powerful figure in young Wyatt's ancestry.

ii) The bloodline was an unknown ent.i.ty leeching off his otherworldly soul.

Both scenarios spelled trouble for Wyatt. He feared that, whether this was an ancestral bloodline or a parasitic ent.i.ty, it had little reason to aid him but ample motivation to strike at his weakest moments. Since it could act independently of his will, he a.s.sumed it was likely stronger than his current self. However, Wyatt reminded himself that this was all conjecture, and he kept his mind open to other possibilities while preparing for these potential possibilities.

If it were someone from young Wyatt's ancestry, it could be from either his mother's or father's side. While young Wyatt's mother hailed from a n.o.ble family in the central capital, his father had been an orphan. Given the circ.u.mstances, it was obvious which side was more likely, but Wyatt did not entirely dismiss his father's lineage, as little was known about him.

How could a poor orphan like young Wyatt's father have managed to win the heart of a n.o.ble's daughter from the central capital? What was he doing in the central capital when Wyatt himself wasn't able to get permission to travel there? These questions alone convinced Wyatt that he needed to conduct a thorough background investigation into young Wyatt's father's origins, suspecting there might be a hidden, potentially dangerous past awaiting discovery.
