”Agatha, what does demigod Mara reaching her lifespan limit got to do with the wager between the five regional heads of the Array master association?” Agatha’s information was all over the place, but I was able to concur that demigod Mara nearing her lifespan limit brought a great opportunity to Lorenzo but to obtain it he need my help. What I did not know was, what would Lorenzo gain from demigod Mara nearing her lifespan limit. How was I able to help Lorenzo by taking the array master certification as his disciple? 

If I knew the answer to these two questions I will know my value in Lorenzo’s plan and set an accurate price tag for my help. I was already part of Lorenzo’s plan, getting out of it was possible but it would be a hassle. There I decided to go along with Lorenzo’s arrangement but for an appropriate price. Lorenzo planned to compensate for my help with his notes on array formation then he had another thing coming for him. 

”Didn’t I tell you Demigod Mara nearing her lifespan limit is the reason for the wager between the five regional heads of the array master association?” Agatha said acting confused. She did not want to talk further about this as she felt that the information she had given so far was enough to make up for her actions earlier. It cost her a lot to get this information, and she did not plan to just give it away. 

”Are you being serious right now? What you told me so far is equal to you telling me nothing. I don’t know what benefits Lorenzo gets and how much my help will serve him. Without the answers to these parts of the information, it is the same as knowing nothing,” I made it clear to Agatha that her information was of no help to me without information the rewards of wager and how to win the wager. The information that Agatha gave me so far only helped me confirm my guess that Lorenzo was up to something. 

”What, how can you say that?-” Agatha wanted to keep her stance but seeing me roll my eyes at her in annoyance she stopped and gave me a long hard look and then add, “Fine, but with this I don’t I don’t owe you anything.” 

Agatha owed me two favors, one of them I used to get her to act as my bodyguard while I attacked the sun blossom city branch of the circle, and I kept the other for later use. Now Agatha wanted to exchange the rest of the information she knew for the second favor that she owed me. Feeling the information that Agatha had was worth it, I compromised with her, “Okay, but you do not leave out anything this time.” 

”Sure,” Getting her a smile blossomed on Agatha’s face and she was happy that she finally get her soul back from the devil. That was how Agatha felt about owing a favor to the teenage card creationist. She went as far as to sigh in relief hearing that after delivering all the information she had on the wager between the five regional heads of the array mastery association to the teenager she would no longer owe him anything. Agatha wanted to celebrate but felt that it would be too much with the teenager watching her she stopped herself from doing so. 

”I am waiting,” I reminded Agatha seeing her weird actions. Having sorted her emotions, Agatha then began to report what he had learned about the wager between the five regional heads of the array master association, “The reward of the wager between the five regional heads of the array master association is that demigod Mara will use her remaining lifespan to help the winner condense their divinity.” 

Learning about the reward of the wager, I was not surprised but disappointed and a bit confused. I was confused because the reward was of no use for the current me, and confused because during the time the five regional heads spent on the wager, they could have forged their divinity. So it did not make sense to me why the five regional heads of the array master association felt demigod Mara’s help to forge their divinity was more alluring than forging their divinity themselves. 

Not finding the surprised expression on the face of the teenager as she was expecting, dissatisfied Agatha said, “Are you disappointed hearing the reward of the wager?”

”Honestly, yes. The reward is of no use to the current me and I don’t understand why the five regional heads of the array master association are wasting so much time and effort on this,” I truthfully laid out my inner thoughts in front of Agatha. Hoping she would tell me why the five regional heads found this reward worth fighting over. Since they all were regional heads in the array master association then it would not be wrong to assume that they all are equally talented as old Lorenzo. With their talent, they could have forged their divinity by now, yet why do they stubbornly continue to fight for the rewards of the wager? 

”Well, since you barely know anything about forging divinity it is not a surprise that you will not find this reward attractive,” Agatha finally understood why the teenager was able to stay calm after hearing the reward of the wager, it was because he was ignorant to the ways of achieving divinity. Then she continued saying, ” Like how there are grades to the ego gems there are also grades to divinity. The difference between the grades of the divinity is so huge that the card apprentices were required to form a separate level in the power level system, named Semi-demigod realm. This was because grades of the divinity forged directly indicate the strength of the demigod.

Let us take my case as an example, I am still in the process of forging my divinity. If I want to I can break into the demigod realm right away but then my divinity will be of lower grade. But if I want to forge a higher grade divinity when I enter the demigod realm, I will have to continue to patiently accumulate…
