"Y-you..." Asong was taken aback by Aba's straightforward retort. To be more accurate Aba's answer landed a critical blow on Asong. She would be lying that her old appearance did not bother her. Earlier she did not have a solution for it so she had no choice but to take it, but no that was not the case she was not helpless as before because she had her origin card now. Therefore hearing Aba's remark she got passionate and said, "I was planning to do this after going back home but just you wait, little girl, I will show you who is grandma."
Saying that Asong went to the empty and spacious part of the warehouse and signaled, with that her aid arrived next to her and asked, "At your service, Madam."
"Give me 1000 median soul jades." Asong ordered but soon she shook her head and corrected her order, "Get me 10,000 high-tier soul jades, yeah that should be enough."
"..." Hearing Asong's command even her aid was a little sluggish, not that she did not have 10,000 high-tier soul jades but she felt odd, as Asong never made such high profiled demand. But she soon recovered from her state and handed Asong a low-grade storage card.
"You are excused," said Asong taking the card from her aid, and then she sacrificed that card to her origin card chanting, "Activate."
With Asong's chant, a blinding light emitted out of her and soon an unknown shell monster replaced her. A huge shell monster with a luminous thorny spiral tower shell with numerous tentacles extending out of it stood where Asong was standing earlier. Seeing this the whole room was in distress and turned to look at me for an answer. I believe they had an answer in their mind but they turned to confirm their doubts.
Though I had not read Asong's origin card info, seeing the luminous thorny spiral tower shell with 32 octopus-like tentacles extending out of it I knew this monster was Asong's origin card, so I answered the rest conforming to their doubts, " yes, it is her origin card."
"What is it?" Aba asked me excitedly. Obviously, she was intrigued by the appearance of the shell monster.
"I don't know, Asong did not let me read her origin card info," I answered honestly.
"What do you mean? Didn't you create her origin card?" Anna asked. She was worried for her friend too, but she trust her lover to find a solution, but she didn't like what she saw. Especially, when she heard him saying he did not know that card info.
"I did but things got complicated at the end… All I can say is that except for Asong, nobody knows what her origin card does." I answered not revealing the world's blessing part. Because it was not my place to share it with them. If Asong wants to she will tell them. With all the commotion inside the card lab, I thought they would have felt something outside but that didn't seem to be the case, I don't know if the same was true for the semi-demigods monitoring Asong.
"You created the card, right? You should have a hunch what it does without reading the origin card info right." Aba asked with a frown, clearly, she was dissatisfied with my answer and worried for her aunt. Though demigod Windsor and Asong were not blood-related, Asong has always been there to take care of Aba. So Aba was very attached to Asong.
"Has big sister Asong morphed into that ugly monster? Is that what her origin card is supposed to do? Then why isn't moving? Can she hear us?" Ann bombarded me with a bunch of questions that were running through everyone's minds.
"The tentacles are ugly but its shell is beautiful." Agatha chimed in. She did not want to hurt Asong's feelings if Asong had really transformed into that monstrosity.
"No, Asong did not morph into that creature, if I were to guess Asong is sleeping in that creature's shell and is undergoing treatment. If what I am thinking is correct then you guys are in for a surprise." I said thinking that even with the world's blessing the abilities of the origin card should not differ from what I originally planned for them to be. Though the appearance of the shell monster was huge to me too. Because I was planning for a bivalve shell, not a thorny spiral tower type shell. As for the tentacles, I did plan to introduce them for defensive purposes but not like this. What I had in mind was something similar to a clearwater oyster monster but thanks to the involvement of the world's blessing Asong's origin card seems to have deviated a lot from my plans for it. Therefore even though I was this card's creator I could not confidently answer the doubts asked by the rest.
"What do you mean by Asong is sleeping in the monster's shell? What kind of origin card did you create for Asong?" Aba grew impatient as her worry for her aunt grew.
"Sigh, I don't know. But all I can vouch is that when Asong comes of that monster, she is going to be healthier than before." I answered vaguely because even though I was the card's creator I had no clue how the origin card worked anymore.
"Guys, stop hounding Wyatt with questions about my origin card, you have nothing to worry about, I am fine." Suddenly Asong's voice sounded from the creature. And it waved two of its front tentacles in a human-like manner.
"You said, Asong did not morph into that monster." Everybody was surprised to hear Asong's voice but soon Aba asked me with doubt, and so did the rest.
"..." I could only wave my hand helplessly. But Asong answered Aba in my place, "Aba, honey, I did not morph into this creature I am controlling it from inside the shell. You guys cannot see me but I can see you fine."
