"Yes, Master. I will," Redfall sincerely answered as Yin Widow's son, though it was the daughter gem that forced its host to speak the truth.

"Mm," Wyatt nodded as he opened the heathen stone prison, took out the primordial calamity daughter gem, and tossed it into the s.p.a.ce before him.

In mid-air, the daughter gem instantly grew layers of tissue that quickly formed a humanoid shape, eventually transforming into a handsome young man. He was tall and lean with pale skin and seductive eyes. His toned muscles, broad shoulders, and st.u.r.dy chest made his lean body appear as if it were a sculpture crafted by the almighty creator himself.

Upon gaining his flesh body, Redfall immediately covered himself in a red spandex suit created from blood rule power. Not wanting to further unsettle his master, he could feel his master's dissatisfaction with him, which made him feel as if he were standing on hot coals. As a daughter gem, he was naturally inclined to please his master by surrendering completely, but he could not let go of his desire to revive his mother.

He was conflicted; he wanted to make his master happy but also yearned to bring his mother back to life. However, the daughter gem, which prioritized his master's wishes above all else, was unable to erase his desire to revive his mother as it had done with his other desires. Fortunately, thanks to the daughter gem even though the desire was there he was unable to act on it.

Observing Redfall's appearance, Wyatt understood why Redfall was able to drive so many people, men and women alike, to madness for him. One had to see him in person to truly grasp his allure. However, Wyatt felt that Redfall's charm paled in comparison to the fragrance of his own primordial world calamity tree. In its current version, a single whiff of its scent would be enough to leave any being infatuated with him.

Finding himself comparing Redfall's allure to the fragrance of his physique, Wyatt realized something new about himself and pondered, 'Since when did I become so vain?"

'It must be because of Susan's rejection, he guessed. Shaking his head in dismay, Wyatt retrieved a diamond grimoire from his grimoire and handed it to Redfall, ordering, "Take it! Stay here and recover to your prime as soon as possible. Once you reestablish your divinity, we will go revive your mother. If you want to modify you divinity, then seek Lois. She will help you!

"Thank you, Master" Redfall replied gratefully as he accepted the diamond grimoire. However, Wyatt knew that this grat.i.tude stemmed from the daughter gem rather than from Redfall himself. If Redfall were truly grateful, he would have surrendered to Wyatt the moment he promised to help him revive his mother, just as Clown Mask had when she thanked Wyatt for being a good friend to her daughter. It might because of the difference in Redfall and Clown Mask's nature.

Ignoring Redfall, who was now contracting the diamond grimoire, Wyatt summoned another daughter gem and used his primordial soul pupils on it to understand how its enslavement ability truly worked. Although his control over the hosts of the daughter gems was absolute, and they would willingly lay down their lives for him, it seemed all of them were unable to let go of one attachment from their previous lives before being infected by the daughter gem.

Wyatt wanted to understand why this was the case. He felt that if he could figure out the reason

behind it, he would be able to help the daughter gems he valued ascend to bloodkin-tier daughter gems. Soon, Wyatt discovered why all the hosts of his daughter gems had one deep-seated attachment to their past lives, which the daughter gems seemed unable to erase.

It turned out that this was a fail-safe created by his origin card to ensure that each host of the daughter gems retained their individuality and did not become carbon copies of one another. If they did, they would lose the ability to wield their individual grimoires with unique origin cards. This safeguard wasn't just for Card Apprentices but extended to other races as well, as they would otherwise lose their innate abilities and gradually start to resemble the host of the soul gem-Wyatt himself.

Therefore, even if the hosts of the daughter gems did not have a deep-seated desire, the daughter gem would turn one of their desires into a deep attachment. This way, despite becoming part of the hive, they would continue to retain their individuality. Learning this, Wyatt realized that he had underestimated the complexity of the Card world's power system. The fail-safe created by his origin card for his daughter gems was crucial; without it, his daughter gems would become a flock of sheep. However, this also led him to ponder how his cursed bloodline allowed the bloodkin-tier daughter gems to maintain their individuality after they truly surrendered to him, letting go of the one deep-seated desire that anch.o.r.ed their individual ident.i.ties and prevented them from completely losing themselves to the hive.

After some thought, Wyatt deduced that the approach of the cursed primordial bloodline in controlling the hosts of bloodkin-tier daughter gems was entirely opposite to the method used by his origin card for regular-tier daughter gems.

The cursed primordial bloodline used the bloodline the bloodkin-tier daughter gems inherited from the host of the soul gem as an anchor to ensure that bloodkins remained absolutely loyal to the parent bloodline, even if they were allowed to have their own opinions and desires. This approach differed from that of the regular-tier daughter gems, whose opinions and desires-except for one- were erased to ensure absolute loyalty to soul gem.

Understanding this, Wyatt's desire for control over choosing which daughter gems could ascend to bloodkin-tier grew stronger. Although Wyatt had his doubts about his cursed primordial bloodline, he did not hesitate to use its abilities. He believed that if one desires to clean the filth, they shouldn't fear getting dirty in the process.

This was Wyatt's current approach toward his cursed primordial bloodline: only by using it would he be able to truly understand it. Because if he were to avoid dealing with his cursed primordial bloodline today by sweeping it under the rug, one day it might grow to a point where he could no longer ignore it. And unsurprisingly, he would find himself unprepared to deal with it.
