The evolutionary ingredient for the third form can be anything, but I lean toward a curse-type ingredient because the hidden condition was the ultimate ‘blood curse’ rune. I just think there would be better synergy between a curse-type ingredient and the ultimate ‘blood curse’ rune when unlocking the 3rd form. 

I believe the synergy between the soul pathways of the ingredient used was more necessary than using a high-grade ingredient. My experience as a card creationist told me that I was right to think so. 

Now the question was what kind of curse-type ingredient should I use as an evolutionary ingredient. It can’t be of a higher realm and has to be a realm-appropriate curse-type ingredient. 

I have seen the curse market in the inter-realm network of the devil merchant code, there were a lot of tempting curses which would serve as a proper evolutionary ingredient but the problem was I could just refine these curses into myriad blood curses using blood curse refining. So I did not feel like wasting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity over some common curse that I could refine. 

I thought hard and finally, one curse came to my mind which would fit the bill, Myriad Devil Body rune card. Even though it was a rune card that I had created using the ‘fate plunder’ rune, I believed that it would go well with the ‘blood curse’ rune. Especially considering that the ‘fate plunder’ rune and the ‘blood curse’ rune can together forge a hybrid rune.

‘Myriad Devil Body’ rune card was very important in my arsenal, it allowed me to turn calamity daughter gems into pseudo calamity soul gems, giving me an ability that practically turned me into an immortal. 

I believed ‘Myriad Devil Body’ would make a good addition to my origin card calamity soul gem. This way ‘Myriad Devil Body’ would also receive the boost from the baptism every time I break through to a higher realm. 

Having decided on the ‘Myriad Devil Body’ rune card as the evolutionary ingredient, I took out the rune card and fed it to my origin card as an evolutionary ingredient to satisfy the only condition remaining for me to unlock my calamity soul gem’s 3rd form. Soon I received the grimoire notification I was awaiting, 

[You have unlocked the third form of your calamity soul gem.] 

[Transformation- 3rd form: Elder Kaiju (Elder Viltronian titan).] 

[Your calamity soul gem has awakened its true meaning as a calamity ????.

Note: the user is advised to be cautious when exploring the changes.] 

Reading the notifications I was disappointed and as well shocked. Considering that the third form of the dungeon calamity seed was Elder Treant I was not surprised to learn that the calamity soul gem’s 3rd form was Elder Kaiju (Elder Viltronian Titan) which can be considered the evolutionary form of Kaiju (Viltronian Titan) the 2nd form.

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm What got my heart pumping was the notification claiming that my calamity soul gem had awakened to its true meaning as a calamity. Though not much information was given on this I could not help but get excited seeing that the grimoire notification could not determine the scope of this change and what it meant. It also asked me to explore it with caution. 

I opened my origin card’s card info to check the changes, other than the conditions to unlock the fourth form of the calamity soul gem I saw no new changes to it. 

I did not give this much thought since I had achieved my goal to unlock the 3rd form of my clarity soul gem. Now, I could finally break through to the card master realm. 

Without further ado, as preparation for my breakthrough to the card master realm, I set up a soul energy-gathering array and dumped a few thousand median soul jades in it to power the array and gather pure soul energy. 

I could have just gone to the inter-realm city sector number ES0012 which had abundant soul energy but I did not because I had made a chilling discovery when I had forged my ultra ‘blood curse’ rune of the ‘blood curse’ meaning of the blood rule in there. 

This chilling discovery was also the reason why I did not gain enlightenment in the ‘blood curse’ meaning of the blood rule after having forged a ‘blood curse’ rune but gained enlightenment in the ‘blood curse’ meaning of the blood rule after refining ‘Curse incarnation’ curse into myriad blood curses using blood curse refining of the ‘blood curse’ rune.

The chilling discovery was obvious to me when I compared what changed between when I tried to gain enlightenment and when I got enlightened, it was the location. I learned that it was impossible to gain enlightenment in the inter-realm city but easier to gain enlightenment in Card world. 

Turns out that what I considered enlightenment was the blessing of the card world which I can only gain in the womb of the card world’s will in the spiritual plane. 

Though the devil merchant code could replicate the rules of the card world in the sector ES0012, it could not replicate the card world’s will. This was why I failed to gain enlightenment when I forged the ultra ‘blood curse’ rune using my plus ultra understanding and mastery of the ‘blood curse’ meaning of the blood rule. 

When I made this discovery I did not regret my decision to comprehend the ‘blood curse’ meaning of the blood rule in the inter-realm city sector ES0012. 

Mostly because if not for the aid of the inter-realm city I do not think I would have been able to comprehend the ‘blood curse’ meaning of the blood rule to plus ultra level in understanding and mastery in such a short time. 

Because I could not operate the pseudo-natural blood rule enlightenment array formation at full throttle in the card world, and without it I would not have comprehended the ‘fate plunder’ meaning to completion. 

Without achieving completion in the ‘fate plunder’ meaning of blood rule I could never have been able to comprehend the second meaning of the blood rule. 

This was not about what I lost but what I prioritized and gained. Now I know better than to completely depend on the inter-realm city. From now on I planned to use the inter-realm city only for minor breakthroughs and for any major breakthroughs I planned to do it on the card world as its will was very generous to its overachieving children. 

Considering that I would be baptized after breaking through to the card master realm I did not want to risk my baptism by trying to break through to the card master realm in the inter-realm city. I could afford to lose rule enlightenment but not baptism. 

If I was to lose my chance to baptize my cards, physiques, and traits I would not only regret it but never be able to forgive myself for being that dumb. If that were to happen then I would be the only dumb card apprentice in the card world to ever lose the chance to baptize after breaking through a realm. 

Not planning to risk the baptism that came with every major realm breakthrough, I sat at the center of the soul energy gathering array formation and began to cultivate my active soul control percentage using the soul energy gathered in the array formation.

Over the past few days, my active soul control percentage had already reached 29.7%, all I was missing was another 0.4% of active soul control and I will be able to break through from the card soldier realm to the card master realm. 

With the aid of the soul energy gathering array, I began to pump high-quality soul energy extracted from median soul jade into my calamity soul gem and began to excite my active soul control. 

Since I had forced the active soul energy control to not increase any further, it was easier for me to excite it with high-quality soul energy. My active soul control was starting to rise at an incredible speed, 

29.7% >>> 29.8% >>> 29.9% 

I had not set up the soul energy gathering to help me break through to the card master realm but to help me stabilize my realm after breaking through to the card master realm. 

When one breaks through to a realm, it’s like a dam breaks open, it’s the moment when one can easily raise their active soul control percentage with enough soul energy before it settles again. If one doesn’t have enough soul energy during this period the active soul control percentage will not be able to grow. Even if it somehow manages to grow then it will not be stable. 

To avoid this one has to have made prior preparation, however, not every card apprentice has such luxury so they give up on this opportunity to increase their active soul control percentage and instead use it as an opportunity to stabilize their realm.
