Wyatt, who possessed the Primordial Calamity Daughter Gems, also could not help but l.u.s.t for a Devil-rank Demon Clam Clampedo. The reason was simple: the Daughter Gems came with an ultimate restriction-those who used them would be bound to serve Wyatt eternally. He had no choice in the matter and couldn't share them with his loved ones, such as Susan or Anna.

More importantly, the more he read about the Clampedo, the more it reminded him of the blue stone Jaya used to awaken her Viltronian bloodline. The artificial demon core and Jaya's Viltronian core shared many similarities. He had always wondered if Jaya's parents had separated her Viltronian core in infancy to protect her from whatever had killed them. a.s.suming she was the only Viltronian alive in the Card Realm, it seemed their plan had worked.

Be that as it may, Wyatt eagerly studied the information on refining Clampedo's demonic pearl bombs into artificial demon cores. After all, the Viltronian cores he had been creating were also a type of demon core. He sensed a incredible fortune waiting to be made here.

Since the unnamed ancient devil first developed the initial artificial demon core refining technique, there had been significant advancements in the field. It was a lucrative business, and the Dark Races had made it so that anyone could domesticate a Clampedo to harvest its demonic pearl bombs. Futher more they had simplified the refining technique to the point where even those with basic refining knowledge could refine artificial demon cores using these demonic pearl bombs.

As such, even a common housewife in the Dark Realm could raise one or two Clampedos at home and refine enough artificial demon cores to earn a decent living. Despite the Dark Races' notorious reputation in the myriad realms, they too were a civilization, facing the same struggles with poverty that all civilizations encounter. Especially, since they followed the law of capitalist jungle. If you one were weak they were lucky to freely breath the same air as the rest and not be some else's possession let alone dream about having possessions.

Many within the Dark Races believed that the development of artificial demon cores had reached its peak. However, Wyatt knew better. The artificial Viltronian cores he created used the soul pathways of a Card Apprentice, making them that Card

apprentice's fated ingredient. He wondered if the same could be true for the artificial demon cores.

Wyatt meticulously examined all the available information on artificial demon cores but found no evidence of artificial demon cores being specifically tailored for individuals. The Dark races did not do any research in that direction because did not feel the need as these artificial demonic cores were being developed for slaves so they went with cheap solution and stuck with for several milleniums.

He now had an understanding why the artificial demon cores could never become a Card Apprentice's fated ingredient unlike his artificial viltronian core-except in rare, coincidental cases where the core happened to align with the apprentice's fate. The Dark race's have shared their artificial demon cores with their demon wors.h.i.+pers in the card world but none of them become their origin card, like Jaya's viltronian core and his artificially created viltronian cores did. Wyatt always wondered why but this mystery had been finally solved.

Wyatt saw immense potential in creating artificial demon cores tailored to an individual's soul pathways. He believed this would not only improve the compatibility between the core and the individual but could also unlock other advantages that he would only discover through experimentation.

In his efforts to help Corey, Wyatt unknowingly stumbled upon a diamond mine. However, he saved digging into it for later, refusing to let it distract him from his primary goal: understanding Corey Park's artificial demon core, which she had diligently nurtured into a t.i.tled demon core. This was crucial to increasing the success rate of bestowing the mental-type physique or trait he wanted to give her. Wyatt had multiple reasons for putting in so much effort to help Corey, but the most important one was simple-he enjoyed having her around. He didn't know why, but it was what it was. Secondly, he saw her as an investment. Corey still had at least five past lives to explore with each breakthrough. Even if four of them turned out to be duds and only one led her to become a ruler-cla.s.s existence, Wyatt would still earn a thousandfold return on his investment.

He also hadn't forgotten how Lil Beam had helped him gain an advantage against Belphegor's Worldhog incarnation by a.s.sisting him in dealing with the Undead Devil Agony and his true relics-the hourgla.s.s relic and the chain binding it to his back. Without Lil Beam's help, Wyatt would have had to fake his death to escape like always and would never have obtained the plague egg that Belphegor had cultivated using a fragment of a realm's will.

The only reason Lil Beam had helped him was because it recognized Corey's scent on him and because Corey often talked to it about Wyatt, venting her frustrations. Unknowingly, Corey had helped him a great deal and would likely continue to do so- so long as it didn't involve Susan. Though Wyatt had tricked her into promising to help him date Susan in exchange for the hourgla.s.s relic, he knew she would eventually regret it, allowing him to hold it over her head until she had something worth making him decide to cash in.

As Wyatt finished processing all the information on the Clampedo and the artificial demon cores created from their demonic pearl bombs, he gained a deeper understanding of the darkness troubling Corey's t.i.tled demon core. He realized this darkness was primarily responsible for the demonic form Corey had used against him during the Sky Blossom City high school tournament. Now, Corey dared not use that form, fearing it would strengthen the darkness's hold over her core.

Where Park and Corey saw a problem, Wyatt saw a solution-an opportunity to not only help her overcome her fears but also make her stronger.
