Date- 30 Mar 2321
Time- 9:55
Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon
Having paused attacking Sarah's calamity daughter gem, the demigod Redfall's soul turned its attention to the only other person in the cave, a card-soldier realm young boy. Its intentions for the card soldier realm boy were clear. It wanted to snack on the card soldier's soul and use his body for temporary housing as the card soldier's body cannot house a demigod realm soul. So the card soldier's body as a vessel was only a temporary measure until it could not hold on any longer. Fortunately for Redfall's soul, it found a sturdy vessel as a vacation house. With enough preparation, this vessel may be able to last long enough before it returns to attacking Sarah's ego gem to devote her soul and take over her body.
Now that it had decided to taste the Card Soldiers soul, it had to make arrangements so that the world's will wouldn't recognize it once it walked out of its descendant's bloodline. Body snatching was tedious work. It had to hide from the world's will and then find a suitable vessel to take over. All in all, it had to be careful otherwise, one slip, and it's either back to the river of souls or be permanently wiped out of existence.
Demigod Redfall's soul cut a part of its bloodline from its descendant's body and then used it to create a slim-like blob to hide in before it leaves the bloodline in its descendant's body. The demigod's soul did so to mask itself from the observation of the world's will and to overcome its inspection if necessary. All this trouble to hide the fact that it did not belong in this world from World's will.
The slim-like blob created by the demigod's soul using the part of the bloodline it cut off from its descendants' bloodline was actually a Pseudo bloodline or false bloodline. It was planning to implant this false bloodline into the card soldier's body so that when it takes over his body, it can freely use the ego gem of that body.
Ego gem is a bridge that connects a card apprentice's soul to the spiritual plane, the house of the world's will and its rules. If one wishes to use the power of the rules, they have to channel it through here under the presence of the world's will. This is where the pseudo blood created by the demigod Redfall plays its part. It will mask the breath of demigod Redfall, deceiving the world's will as the demigod's soul tries to access the rule power. The pseudo bloodline played a crucial part in the demigod's plan to take over the card soldier's body, from deceiving the world's will in the mortal plane to deceiving the world's will in the spiritual plane. Without it, demigod Redfall can forget coming out of his descendants' bloodline.
After creating the pseudo bloodline, the demigod's soul hid in it and left its descendant's bloodline, and headed straight towards the card soldier's ego gem. Now that it no longer was obsessed with attacking its descendant's ego gem as much as earlier, the demigod had time to think and was astonished by what he gathered.
Both his descendant and the young card apprentice had forged their ego gem and comprehended specific rules at card soldier realm, and not to mention they were pretty young too. By their achievements in cultivation alone, these two were ultra prodigies. What astonished the demigod was how they forged an ego gem at a young age? Refining soul energy to the required purity realm and finding the ethereal spirit alone took a minimum of 2 - 3 years. No matter how talented a card apprentice is, they cannot skip this part. Yet these kids in front of him had forged their ego gem in their teenage years.
Demigod Redfall knew that even with the help from his bloodline, his descendant could not skip the necessary grunt work to forge an ego gem. Not to forget that his descendant's ego gem was weird. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break through the ego gem to devour her soul and take over her body. Therefore he was curious about how these two achieved it. But he did not dwell on this question too much because soon he was going to devour the soul of the young card soldier then he could find all the answers to his questions from it. Whether they really were super prodigies or had some trick up their selves, all of it is going to become his soon.
Leaving his descendant's body, it did not take more than a second for the demigod's soul to enter the Card soldier's body, and soon it headed to the young card apprentice's ego gem. Having faced an abnormality with his descendant's ego gem, demigod Redfall was prepared for strong resistance from the young card apprentices ego gem as he tried to break through it to devour the card soldier's soul and replace its place in the body.
But to his surprise, all his preparation was not required as he effortlessly passed through the ego gem and headed straight to its center in search of the young card apprentice's soul. Demigod Redfall searched the ego gem of the young card apprentice for a while now, but he could not find his soul. Demigod Redfall was persistent and searched every nook and cranny of the ego gem. Still, there was no hint of the young card soldier's soul.
Unable to comprehend what was going on, Demigod Redfall was stumped. He decided to search the ego gem one more time. Demigod Redfall was not dumb, but he had never come across an ego gem without a soul. Therefore, he belived that the young card soldier's soul was somewhere here in the ego gem, so he searched it again but returned with no gains. So he finally decided to head out of the ego gem to check out what was going on.
