"Motherf.u.c.ker, he was right there," Gray fur yelled and ordered Flower thief, "Rookie, go back to the sewer immediately."

Hearing Gray Fur yell the Flower Thief did not need the context he immediately knew what Gray Fur meant, he rushed his familiar to the sewer where they previously stayed. Reaching the sewers he heard Gray fur add, "Immediately detonate the poison."

Flower thief was not done tweaking the poison canister to increase its range to cover the entire city but considering that the boy was within their close vicinity the current range would do the job.

Just as Flower thief was about to release the poison in the sewer, the team noticed that the entire sewer was filled with slime monsters. This was surprising considering that a minute ago that was not the case. This immediately made them more confident that they were right, the boy was hiding right under their nose all this time. So without any further delay Flower Thief released the Dragonviper poison in the sewer by detonating the canister which helped the poison spread and reach the deepest tunnels of the sewer. As the poison spread throughout the sewer tunnels the slimes in the surrounding started to pop one after another like popcorn.

Hearing the conversation among the card apprentice in the empty beast I had already learned that my guess about the empty beast containing a minimum of five card apprentices in it with the minimum realm of a card emperor was not that far off. But I never guessed that I would get to listen to Matron, herself, even though it was through a grimoire call. Despite the Hive AI trying its best to paint a picture of what these cold b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were speaking by interpreting the soul pathway vibrations, in the end, it still needed a lot of work but it was enough to get the gist of what these inhumane motherf.u.c.kers were planning. And they were up to no good.

They seemed to not mind stooping to a new low just to get what they wanted. Considering what they wanted was me dead. My dissatisfaction with these callous a.s.sholes had turned into hatred.

As for the idiots who got mixed with these monsters out of greed, I did not feel sorry for them. Though they tried to make things right when it mattered, in face of Matron's prowess it made no difference. Well, they dug their graves when they made the deal with Matron. If they were under the impression that Matron would not come for their soul, then they were wrong. Matron always collects her dues. Having seen the paw clan of the alternate future in Clown Mask's memories, I knew none of the members of the Paw clan or the circle deserved my sympathy, Clown Mask included.

But the fact that Matron just forced a being of card emperor or higher realm into a coma was what caught my attention the most. From Clone mask's memories, I knew she was capable of that but hearing her do it in real-time painted a more vivid and dreadful picture. This firmed my decision to stay away from Matron until I am at a realm higher than her but that seemed less likely as according to Clone Mask's vision within a decade or so Sansa would climb the ranks of demiG.o.ds and come out as Matron to the world in preparation to wage war against the Southern and Northern royal families.

I was confident about my talent but becoming a demiG.o.d within a decade seemed a bit far-fetched even for me. That's beside the point, these f.u.c.ker were planning to gas the entire sewer system with SS-rank Dragonviper poison. As a pebble should I be worried about poison? Yes, I should be, considering that Dragonviper's poison does prove deadly to an SS-rank stone elemental, a pebble with a gigamite physique such as myself was not an exception.

Therefore, I decided to intervene before these guys set their inhumane plan into motion. For that, I would need help. And fortunately, my supposed bodyguards were able to negotiate a deal to save all three of my clones. But the condition they agreed to was impossible since what the enemy semi-demiG.o.ds demanded was no longer possible. So I decided to get creative with my new ability and find a way around it.

So I instructed one of the clones to stall for time and the other to use this time to stealthily use its copy grimoire to use a slime fairy card and morph it into Mike's corpse using Myriad devil's hex. Then place it in the corpse wood coffin equipped with Mike's broken ego gem and the corpse wood stake stuck in its chest.

I was confident that these would be enough to fool the circle's demiG.o.ds because Mike's origin card was unmatched when it came to disguising and also because of his original broken ego gem added authenticity to the slime fairy morphed Mike's corpse.

As expected, the Circle's semi-demiG.o.d did not find anything wrong with Mike's corpse that I handed to them. With the circle's semi-demiG.o.ds off my back for now, I could get to rats in the sewer.

As I expected the semi-demiG.o.d's mental sweep of the city's drainage system spooked the card apprentice in the empty beast forcing them to leave the sewer and update about the current circ.u.mstance on the surface. Giving me the opening I need to escape. But still, I chose to be conscious and summoned, "Transcendent Blood Slime Demon"

Soon a blood-red slime appeared, then split into numerous clones that spread throughout the sewer tunnels. As for the original, it swallowed my pebble body and rushed toward the exit of the sewer.

But s.h.i.+t hit the fan when I decided to orchestrate a situation where the paw clan's members would come to believe that one of my three clones was the original body. As this was a mistake, my web of deception began to unwind here as I ended up making a mistake underestimating the members of the paw clan.
