“Well, hold on. Ego Gem is not a new concept to us and the Ego you describe and the one we know are the same things. The Ego gem we know has the ability to connect with the world but it can also provide the host with a strong physique but then it will be called a Divine Ego Gem.

And I am not an Ego Fire but a Demon Fire. From your words, it seems this world does not know about Divine Ego Gems, Demon Core and t.i.tled Demon core or anything related to demons for that matter.” I thought I was doing a favor by telling the Ego F… Demon Fire about Ego Gems but it seems they know a whole lot more than me.

Turns out Ego Gem has two stages to it. The first stage is the Ego Gem which helps the host connect to the world. And the second stage is known as Divine Ego Gem which gives its user a physique something known as Divine physique. Similar to Ego Gems, Demon Cores have two stages. The first one is the demon core which gives the host a demonic physique and the second is t.i.tled demon Core which gives the host ability to connect with the world.

“…” Ego Gems and Demon Cores are quite the same. They achieve the same results in two different approaches.

“I thought you knew about demon cores as until before lunch I felt a similar presence in you, that kid Pax, your friend Elliott and a few of your other friends. But now, I do not know how you achieved it but your Demonic core has evolved to the second stage t.i.tle demon core… no it seems to have taken another evolutionary route, it seems to have mutated somehow.

Now that I think of it, only that girl Jaya seemed to have an authentic demon core. She also has the bloodline of a Demon race. If I can get a drop of her blood I can tell which Demon race she belongs to.” Hearing the Demon Fire, I finally started to connect the dots.

The Viltronian core from which I derived my Calamity soul core turned out to be a demon core. Like all demon cores, it provided the viltronian with their demonic physique. So the source of the superhuman abilities of the viltronian was the demonic physique given to them by their demon core.

So the Calamity Soul Core I built is a variation of a Demon Core. And also the Osmodite Core and Mecha Core seem to be variations of demon cores. Except for Jaya, the rest of us all have a variant form of the demonic core. No wonder Corey’s Demon Fire felt an authentic demon core in Jaya while a similar presence in the rest of us.

According to the demon fire, my variant demon core seems to have entered the second stage but it seems to have a huge mutation. I guess the mutation maybe because I fused a variant Demon Core with an authentic Ego Gem. And here I thought I had attained something unique. Whereas there is nothing unique about my Calamity Soul Gem. It is just a chimera formed using the insight of Demon Cores, Calamity Seed, Ego Gem, and finally the mutated Souls.

Thinking of this, I grew curious about soul pupils which allowed me to successfully create my so-called Calamity Soul Gem. I bet many capable and great figures of their period might have tried to decipher or enhance any one of these four Demon Cores or Calamity Seeds or Ego Gems or Mutated Souls but have failed devastatingly. But I was able to accomplish it thanks to the false relic Soul Pupil left to young Wyatt by Mama Wyatt. This makes me wonder who is the real owner of Soul Pupils and how powerful are they?

If I can achieve all this with Soul pupils then the one who owned the Soul pupils, the original owner, might have already reached the peak of this Card universe. But this also raises a concern in me, now that I am the current owner of soul pupils then that means the original owner of the soul pupils must have fallen. What kind of power exists out there to kill such an ent.i.ty?

Thinking of this, a s.h.i.+ver ran down my spine. I shook my head and did not concern myself with that question because it was too big for my current self to digest. For my own sanity, I had to leave these questions at that and continue with the things that are within my strength. Currently, with my strength, I was having a hard time just defeating Corey who has a normal t.i.tled Demon Core.

Now the question remains if Anna knows about Divine Ego Gem, Demon Cores, and t.i.tled Demon Cores. But seeing how she did not recognize the cores in Elliott and me I guess she does not know about Demon Cores and t.i.tled Demon Cores. But the same can not be said about the Divine Ego Gem. It seems I will not know for sure until I ask her or become a soph.o.m.ore in one of the top 10 universities.

I came here to decipher the trick behind Corey’s immortal smoke monsters but I end up gaining more than that. But these answers also led to many questions which were yet to be answered. Throwing all this to the back of my head I looked at the Demon Fire and Said,

“Thank you, I am indebted to you. If you need my a.s.sistance please do not hesitate to ask. I will help you to the best of my limits.” I was planning on getting the Demon Fire to become indebted to me but it’s funny how things turned out.

“Considering that you were kind enough to warn me about the Ego Gems in this world. I wanted to do you a favor this time. If you want to help me then…

I don’t want to ask much of you. I hope you don’t take the words and actions of this kid seriously. In exchange for knowledge and strength of Past lives, she is burdened by the Sins and Regrets of the Past lives. She is a good child but is troubled with mistakes she never made and are not hers, to begin with.

I am not asking you to lose the duel or pamper her, just be there as a friend to her. She is a lot and this will only worsen as her strength increases. I just hope she has a good friend… as with the power she is burdened with she may never have one of those.” Demon Fire requested me, I do not know what she meant by the last few sentences of hers. ‘knowledge and strength of Past lives’ ‘Sins and Regrets of the Past lives’ ‘mistakes she never made’ ‘the power she is burdened’

Once again Demon Fire exceeded my expectations of her. Not only did she have a high level of sentience but she also possessed what I can only describe as human. What she asked of me was a lot. Honestly, It would be easier if she had asked me to lose the battle so that way I could reject her and move on.

“Park you idiot, How many times do I have to remind you that I have a lot of friends? And I don’t need someone like him as my friend.” Corey yelled at her Demon Fire in irritation, ‘Why does she always have to be in my case? Make some true friends Corey… you don’t have to go through this alone Corey… Now she has done it she wants me to be friends with Wyatt the mother stealing b.a.s.t.a.r.d. No way.’
