Location- Sky Blossom City, Healing Ray Hospital, Patient Ward no.16
“Connie, why don’t you rest, we will stay and look after uncle and aunts.” Connie looked pale and haggard. It looked like she did not sleep for days and may even be suffering from slight insomnia. If not for her high active soul control she would have been bedridden by now. I wanted her to get some rest so I can get to my work here.
But my words came off suspicious to Connie, who had just met me, alerted she asked, “who are you guys?”
Ah! my hastiness had ruined the only chance I had to treat the Kane trio peacefully. Though Connie looked like a damsel in distress she was at the card soldier realm. So it was going to take me a little more force to knock her out, which was nothing thanks to my Viltronian physique. Before Connie could react any further I got behind her at the fastest speed and rendered her unconscious then slowly laid her on the empty bed.
Corey and Susan gasped seeing my actions. I thought they would understand because this was not the first time I rendered a helpless girl unconscious to do what I want, Jackie was my first victim.
“Wyatt, what are you doing?” Asked Corey and the look in Susan’s eyes seemed to be asking the same thing.
“I’m going to cure these three, Susan you stand by the door as a lookout and Corey you… look after Connie.” I did not have much time since there are many variables in the hospital. Nurse, Doctor, healer, cleaning staff or Connie’s elder brother anyone of them could walk in any second. So first I walked to Chris’s bed and pulled the cubicle curtain to isolate us from the rest of the patient ward and give me some privacy as what I was going to do could be considered taboo by some people.
I created a Calamity daughter core, but I had optimized this core in such a way that it could solve the parasite energy festering on Chris’s soul pathway.
Soulpoles’s soul energy manipulation when used to its maximum extent can convert any advanced form of energy into its basic form I.e soul energy.
The black parasitic energy within Kane trio’s body was also an advanced form of soul energy able to sustain its form by leeching on others soul energy.
But the current problem was Chris was in comatose condition he could neither equip the calamity daughter core card in his grimoire origin card slot nor directly swallow the core. So I could only use crude methods, forcing open Chris’ mouth. I stuff the calamity daughter core into his mouth and shove it deep inside enough for the calamity daughter core to do its job.
The daughter core directly sowed itself into Chris’s soul pathway arrangements following my instruction through Hive AI. After that, I did not let it absorb soul energy from Chris but instead let it use the soul energy manipulation skill I bestowed to it to absorb the black energy festering in Chris’s soul pathway. The fight between the black energy and daughter core was time-consuming but the more black energy was absorbed by the daughter core the stronger it got and faster the process proceeded.
There was a faster way, that was to let the calamity daughter core directly swallow Chris soul then destructure his current body and restructure a new body. This way the black parasitic energy would be discarded with the old body. But the problem with this method was that I did not have enough soul jades for the restructuring of Chris’s body once it was destructured, not to mention Amanda and Maya that followed next.
Though the current method of slowly swallowing black parasitic energy was time-consuming it was the cheapest method. Assigning one of my slave consciousness to monitor the progress in Chris I repeated the same process with Amanda and Maya and assigned my remaining two slave consciousness to remotely monitor each of them through Hive AI.
Though the daughter cores would save Chris, Amanda and Maya it would cost them their freedom. If Chris, Amanda and Maya are not guilty of any crime against papa and mama Wyatt I can give them the freedom level of a right/left arm. This level will not make them mindless dolls or soul bound slaves but their priority will be my interest and well being. They will still have their previous priorities like family, career, greed, lust etc but all of it will be second to me, my interest and well being. They will have desires and the freedom to pursue them but if these desires come in the way of my interest and well being they will abandon them without a second thought. Yes! This was high-level brainwashing using Hive AI.
This was the reason my morality was against using calamity daughter core to help them. I could come up with another way to treat the Kane trio but it would take me months or years researching the black parasitic energy and ways to counter it. By then either the trio would have succumbed to the black parasitic energy or my enemies hiding in shadow would have gotten to me.
Time was the thing I was running short on, so I had to make a decision right now. Finally, I chose the path through which I stood to gain the most. By using the calamity daughter cores not only was I able to cure the Kane trio and gain all the Info I was missing about papa and mama Wyatt’s past and find the enemies hidden in the shadow. I would also gain three powerful and absolutely loyal Card grandmaster realm subordinates. Though their strength was diminished by silver grimoire, I think that calamity daughter core origin card should be enough to fill the gap until I find three golden grimoire or required ingredients for them to upgrade their grimoire.
It took 45 minutes but Chris was the first one to awaken, before he did anything stupid to arise suspicion in Corey and Susan I instructed him to continue and pretend to be unconscious using my Hive AI. While I was deciding on where to start my interrogation Amanda and Maya also awakened one by one and I instructed them the same as Chris. I also noticed that due to prolonged infestation of black parasitic energy in their body the trio’s bodies had accumulated a lot of damage which even the Viltronian physical enhancement was unable to completely get rid of. It seems each of them will have to undergo body restructuring.
Now that all three had woken up I decided to begin my Interrogation through the Hive AI network with the most obvious question,’ How did Papa and Mama Wyatt die? ‘
