I planned to have Asong as my backer when I moved to the central academic region, therefore, keeping in mind that the longer Asong lived the best for me I created her an overpowered origin card but now all that was for nothing as I had realized that Asong was too stuck up in her self-righteous ways to be of any use to me. 

People like her were too afraid to use the power they had. She reminded me of the democrats back home who sat by and watched the republicans drag the democracy back to its infancy. By democrats I mean, collectively, what they stand for and what they represent but individually, I would not trust them. Some were dirtier than the carpet in an average joe’s house. 

I am trying to say that having Asong as a backer would do me more harm than good. I bet miss-goody-goody-two-shoes has a line of haters, she was bound to have them with her stubborn self-righteousness, if I were to associate with her then people who could do nothing to her would target me. But the source that put me in the spotlight in the first place would do nothing as she is afraid of being blamed for abusing her power.

I bet her family must be frustrated with her, after all, by supporting her they would only make more enemies than any materialistic gains she would offer to them. It would be in my interest to cut all ties with her, people like her do not only hold themselves to unexpectedly high standards but also force them on others. I didn’t need this, I am okay being a greedy profiteer as in this world with my talent as long as I have enough money I could achieve the peak in time. 

Resolving the problem named Asong I walked into the card lab, Susan had already neatly staked all the ingredients for the creation of an enhanced space collapse card. Most of the ingredients here are mainly for the creation of a small space isolation array because I felt that using the space collapse ability to target an individual target was a waste of resources and these resources would be better off if used to enhance the space collapse ability to target an array in the surroundings. 

The easiest way to destroy an array was to alter nature’s soul pathways in the surroundings. So if I were able to collapse the space of the surroundings where the array was active then with the collapse of the space I would have destroyed the soul pathways in that space. This was way simpler than the Array hack card I was rooting to create. Well, I did try to create an array hack card but the end result wasn’t satisfactory. But if I were to use Space collapse ability then it was going to be a game changer. 

The Space collapse ability I extracted from the Deep Sea Murex monster core had a limited range it could only affect a single target and not to mention its effects grew weaker with the realm difference between the user and target. For it to affect an entire array I will have to make some enhancements to it, that was where the space isolation array came into the picture.

The space isolation barrier array covering the cities can be considered the advanced form of the space isolation array as they were created using the space isolation array as the base array. Similarly, I was planning to use the space isolation array as the base to enhance the space collapse ability I extracted from the deep sea murex monster. 

The aim of enhancing the space collapse ability was to increase its range so that it could affect an entire specified area such that it can destroy nature’s soul pathways in that array with the collapse of the space. The uses of this ability were wide, apart from destroying arrays I planned to make it strong enough to destroy field and trap cards. This way I did not have to worry about the enemy field and tarp cards. 

The deep sea murex was a B-rank Rare-grade monster, meaning that its space collapse ability was limited to rare-grade, that is, it was invincible in B-rank but was barely able to affect A-rank. The space isolation array had taken care of the range of the space collapse ability and now I had to think of something to make up for the power of the ability, the first thing that came to my mind was what if I were to enhance the A-rank core used as the core of this space collapse array card with a viltronian core. 

How do I enhance the A-rank array core using the viltronian core? Here I will use the strong viltronian soul pathways to replace and enhance the soul pathways of the space collapse ability extracted from the deep sea murex. The best way to achieve this would be to mutate the soul pathway of the space collapse ability extracted from the deep sea murex using the soul pathways of the viltronian. This way the soul pathways of the space collapse ability will become sturdier like the soul pathways of a viltronian and will be able to display more power than an average deep sea murex’s space collapse ability ever could. 

So the plan was simply to mutate the space collapse ability soul pathways with the Viltronian soul pathways and then enhance it with a space isolation array. This way the space collapse ability will be able to gain the power and range it was lacking before the mutation and enhancement. 

Many advanced arrays make use of the space stabilization feature to make it so that nature’s soul pathway remains constant throughout the life of the array. This stabilization feature was only to make sure that variables like temperature, wind, humidity, etc do not show drastic changes which could affect the working of the array or even hinder it.
