Thanks to Dredre's pixie dust and his calamity soul gem's extreme synchronization rate Wyatt was able to achieve something that only the celestial bodies were known to have achieved i.e. to exist in the physical and spiritual plane simultaneously. It could also be considered as a permanent version of entering the one with the world state both physically and spiritually.
In the presence of demigod's demigod Norley however, Wyatt pretended to enter the one with the world state both physically and spiritually to borrow card world's celestial force. In the current situation, Wyatt using his celestial force or directly borrowing the celestial force from the world would only cause Demigod Norley suspicious. Considering Demigod Norlely was labeled the mad scientist by other founding fathers of the current government Wyatt believed he should not do or show anything out of the ordinary that could attract his curiosity toward him. Unwanted curiosity was good for nobody.
Jill was a perfect example of this. If only he had refrained from showing off in front of her, in the S-rank dungeon that had formed under the several E-rank field Dungeon, by improving the item that she invented using an ancient array formation to alert her of dungeon formation in her surroundings. Her body was infatuated with Wyatt's calamity soul gem and with this incident, her mind had fallen for Wyatt's big brain. Creating the present crazy Jill.
Wyatt no longer wanted to attract more crazy in his life therefore he had refrained from showing off or even using celestial force the moment demigod Norley used his space rule on him. If not for demigod Norley taking it too far Wyatt did not plan to react to his provocation. But in this world, showing even a little weakness was a sin.
"Interesting, the report did read that you used celestial force against the devil but seeing you use it in person I finally see why you were able to fight toe to toe with a devil that whipped out nearly two dozen highly trained card demigods with ease. From the looks of it, the report submitted to the central government doesn't do any justice to your latent capabilities. With this strength it is not surprising that my friend lost the bet," Demigod Norley said watching Wyatt use borrowed celestial force to resist his space rule.
If Wyatt was able to borrow and use enough celestial force from the card world to resist his space rule when in the card master realm then Demigod Norley could only imagine how much celestial force Wyatt borrowed from the card world when he had borrowed the power of the devil and reached the strength of card demigod to fight against the Mohawk Devil. It had to be astronomical, enough even to threaten him, he speculated. This was why he sang praises of Wyatt.
Demigod Norley could not help but be impressed by Wyatt once again. According to him no other card master in the entire card world would be able to achieve what Wyatt had achieved even if they were given the power of card demigod. He believed that being able to borrow a large quantity of celestial force from the card world and borrow power equal to a card demigod from the devil was part of Wyatt's ability and capabilities. With this, he believed that soon Wyatt would not only be equal to him in terms of intellect but also strength.
While Wyatt struggled to resist his space rule with the borrowed celestial force Demigod Norley looked at him in satisfaction. The more he looked at him the more he felt pleased with him. So much so that he was even considering changing his mind about Wyatt and giving him his approval to date his daughter. However, he knew these things could not be rushed. For now, he should be satisfied with the fact that Jill was no longer grieving and confident enough to pursue what her heart wanted. As his daughter, Jill will conquer Wyatt one of these days.
"Dad, I can't believe you would lie to my face. Unhand Wyatt this instant, " Jill demanded of her father. Noticing Wyatt enter one with the world state both physically and spiritually and borrow the world's celestial force how could she not know that her father was up to no good again?
"Old man, I will remember this," Wyatt was not able to entirely negate the space rule trapping him but he managed to bend the space rule locking his jaw. Thanks to this he was finally able to speak his mind.
Wyatt's remarks in this situation were not because of his ignorance but a result of his careful consideration. From Demigod Norley's actions since he arrived Wyatt noticed that Norley showed a lot of restraint on his part, especially as one of the most powerful beings in this world. So far all Demigod Norley had done was intimidate Wyatt but he did not hurt a single hair on Wyatt's body. This was the case even before Jill arrived. This showed that he did not want to hurt or kill Wyatt. Which could only mean that the Southern Royal family was holding up their end of the bargain. Wyatt wondered if Field Marshal Heatsend did not show because she did not have to.
Listening to Wyatt call him 'old man' again, Demigod Norley understood Wyatt was deliberately provoking him having figured out that he would not harm him. Therefore, before easing his space rule on Wyatt, he locked eyes with Wyatt and said "Kid, you are really lucky that you have the Southern Royal family looking out for you. If it was someone else. with this kind of attitude, you would not have survived long under them."
Listening to Demigod Norley's words, Wyatt confirmed his guess about why Field Marshal Heatsend did not show herself, it wasn't necessary since she knew Wyatt was not in any form of imminent danger.
