Time- 20:45
Location- Central Region, Central Capital, Baylor Mansion
Just as Sansa was mulling over just how strong Karl and his forces were, her grimoire notified her of an incoming call, it was Karl's Incarnation.
"So, what next?" Karl's incarnation asked as soon as Sansa answered her phone.
"I have gained access to your consciousness, you can place the card I gave you back where you found it so that others of your kind can use it if they need to," Ordered Sansa. This way she was not only hiding the physical evidence but also keeping the options open for other incarnations of Karl.
"Heading there now," Karl's incarnation stealthily returned Sansa's card to its original hiding spot and then asked, "What do I do now?"
"All the preparations are done, now we wait for Karl to start refining you into his origin card, seeing the right moment I will transfer your consciousness into a new body free of the shackles binding you to Karl. Or if you want I can transfer your consciousness to a new body now but you will have to attempt suicide to cover our tracks. However going through your memories I can see that you are a survivor and not someone who would choose suicide, so chosing the latter has the risk of Karl growing suspicious of the circ.u.mstances surrounding your suicide. So my advice is you face Karl but I am fine with whatever you choose," Sansa advised Karl's incarnation to the best of her knowledge.
"You're right, I will confront Karl. That is the only option with the least risk. But are you sure this conscious transfer will not raise any suspicion as after refining me Karl will not only gain my origin card but also my entire memory? If my consciousness is transferred to a new body at the last moment of the refining, then won't he be missing my memories?" Karl's incarnation made a sound point.
"No need to worry, I will not only just be transferring your incarnation but swapping it with a duplicate one. This way he will get the new set of memories of yours that I have carefully crafted erasing any sign of contact and the arrangement between the two of us. Relax, when it comes to manipulating memories I am a pro, you have nothing to worry about, you are in good hands," Sansa a.s.sured Karl's incarnation.
"I never imagined that I will be trusting life in your hands, funny how things turn out, huh," Karl's incarnation made small talk to distract himself from the rampaging thoughts in his head.
"Buddy, if you want to make small takes I am not your girl, find someone else. And, I will be monitoring your memories, so don't get any funny ideas. When the time is right I will deliver on my promise," warning Karl's incarnation from having second thoughts Sansa hung up on him.
Sansa's origin card could work wonders however it had its drawbacks it could not affect card apprentices in a higher realm than her. So she should not be able to monitor or manipulate Karl's semi-demiG.o.d realm incarnation's memories. But when Karl's incarnation willingly equipped her card he gave her origin card a backdoor into his memories. Giving her permission to do whatever she wanted to his memories.
Giving full access to his memories to Sansa, Karl's incarnation had lost almost all of his worth in Sansa's eyes. If not for Sansa wanting to use this particular Karl's incarnation as the poster boy for her offer to the rest of the incarnation of Karl, she really did not have any more reason left to make do with her promise to him. What was Karl's incarnation thinking? Well, Karl had not left him much choice in this matter. Since Karl had no qualms about refining him into an origin card despite salving for him for centuries, he too did not have any qualms about selling information on Karl for a shot at true freedom.
Hanging up on Karl's incarnation she monitored his memories and every thought he had such that she could turn him into a brain-dead moron before he did irreversible damage to the only counter she came up against Karl. Now that she knew what Karl was really capable of, Sansa needed this to work to continue the balance in her alliance with Karl or to reach the balance she thought was there.
Consciousness transfer was one of the new abilities of Sansa's origin card, it awakened this ability after it underwent baptism when Sansa ascended to the card emperor realm. This ability allowed Sansa to transfer the consciousness of her victims into her origin card or a new body, herself included.
When Sansa's origin card awakened this ability Sansa did not think much of it but when she consulted one of her brilliant card creationist minions about this he opened a new path of possibilities for her origin card to her, Immortality. Immortality by transferring consciousness into a new body. Her origin card alone could not achieve this, but thanks to a sequence of high-end cards created by her overachieving card creationist minion she could achieve near immortality without large drawbacks.
Sansa did not choose to hide her ability to achieve something similar to immortality from her minions, instead, she used it to increase their loyalty toward her and the organization. She promised that those of her minions with a lot of merits will be resurrected using this ability of hers in case they die in action. And the members of the paw clan who were nearing the limit of their age were also promised a new, young and improved body in exchange for merits.
This ability also gave birth to a new form of punishment in the paw clan for the repeat offenders, transferring the consciousness of those that sinned into the body of an opposite gender or the body of a monster or imprisoning their consciousness in their origin card, etc.
This new carrot and the stick created by using her origin card's new awakened additional ability worked like a charm, her minions were never more enthused since the introduction of the consciousness transfer based reward and punishment system.
