ʼHahaha, I forged my ego before that bitch Cindy,ʼ Jaya laughed in joy as she walked out of her close door practice. Cindy among the Fine Gold trio had shown the fastest progress in forging her ego gem. Therefore, Jaya was always worried that Cindy would forge her ego gem first among the three of them and get rewarded by Wyatt. Fearing the worst, these past few days Jaya has been seriously refining her soul energy to compress them and forge her ego gem. However, when she refined a minimum amount of soul energy to forge her ego gem her blue stone suddenly mutated. ʼI was lucky that the blue stone that my birth parents left with me had automatically morphed into a mutated ego gem meeting the right requirements, otherwise, it would have been hard for me to forge my ego gem before Cindy. However, Wyatt did say he wanted to see my ego gem after I forged it. Was he already aware that the blue stone would mutate into my ego gem when I met all the requirements? Well, he did create my origin card so I cannot put it past him,ʼ Jaya contemplated as she walked to the elevator to head to her sisterʼs office and give her the good news in person to see the joy on her sisterʼs face. ʼI wonder if Wyatt will give me an extra reward for forging a mutated ego gem. Especially since my mutated ego gem has an overpowered special trait, Rule Invulnerability,ʼ Jaya skipped and hopped toward the elevator joyously wondering about Wyattʼs reaction to her mutated ego gem and its special trait. [Trait Name: Rule Invulnerability  Trait Type: Innate (passive)  Trait Effect: Whenever the user comprehends and masters a rule they will gain invulnerability to the rule proportional to their comprehension and mastery of the rule and its meanings.]

The special trait Rule Invulnerability will automatically give Jaya invulnerability and resistance to rules and their meanings propositional to her mastery and comprehension of the said rule and its meanings. This means that if Jaya had uncommon-tier comprehension and mastery of fire rule, she would be invulnerable to uncommon-tier fire rule power attacks or display strong resistance to fire rule power in case the attack was of a higher tier. This elevated the invulnerability of Jayaʼs viltronian origin to a whole new level. ʼNot to forget the blue stones mutation also helped me break through to the mid-rank of the Card Grandmaster realm and upgrade my origin card adding the ʼViltronian Legacyʼ to its additional effects,ʼ Jaya recalled her gains after successfully forging her ego gem. This caused Jaya to wonder, ʼMaybe I should make some time to explore the Viltronian Legacy, I might find out about my birth parents in it and learn why they abandoned me.ʼ However, Jaya soon put that thought in the back of her mind as she did not have that much attachment to her birth parents. Just the thought of trying to learn about her birth parents made her feel guilty. She felt like she was betraying her sister, Diana. Especially since the topic of her origin and birth parents has been a sensitive topic for them. Then, Jaya began to fantasize about her informing Wyatt about forging her ego gem and how he would choose to reward her. Just thinking about it got her excited and flushed. As she reached her sisterʼs penthouse, she found it to be empty. She instinctively wanted to call her sister but did not. Because if Diana learns that Jaya was out of close door practice she will ask if Jaya had forged her ego gem. Not wanting to ruin the surprise Jaya reached out to the regular employees to learn that her sister was at the orphanage to arrange a meeting between Wyatt and the employees with notable contributions to the company. Learning that she could inform about her successfully forging her ego gem to both Wyatt and Diana at the same time Jaya grew ecstatic. She hurriedly activated her origin card, planning to make a dazzling entry at the orphanage by donning her glittering grey viltronian bodysuit. ʼThis is different,ʼ Jaya found that her metallic gray viltronian bodysuit had turned into a silver viltronian bodysuit. The golden eight-pointing star on the bodysuitʼs chest section had become more defined and had a golden electric glow to it while her cape was no longer white but silver with golden trim. The cape fluttered with the light movement of the wind showing that it had capabilities to help with her flight. The golden armguard and boots had subtle changes making them more majestic in appearance. Jayaʼs new bodysuit had a surprising new addition, a golden tiara. Itʼs a golden-colored circlet donned on her forehead, featuring a neon gold eight-pointing star in the center. She had a vague feeling that this tiara was more than just a fashion statement and had a deep and profound meaning to it. Jaya could sense an incredible power gathered at the center of the neon gold eight-pointing star at the center of the golden tiara that scared even her. Jaya thought her current silver bodysuit was sturdier and stylish than the previous one. In her current form, she felt like an incarnation of a saint. As such she was obviously happy about the unexpected gain and was looking forward to seeing Wyatt and Dianaʼs reaction to her new bodysuit. Excited Jaya took to the sky, and found that the cape of her body suit allowed her to break wind resistance and increase her flight speed to set a new record. During her flight, Jaya also found that the cape allowed her to make sharp turns and make a quick halt. Most importantly whenever she flew along with the wind current Jaya found that thanks to her cape her flight speed increased by almost three times. Exploring the capabilities of her new bodysuitʼs cape Jaya learned that there was so much more to flying and it was a lot more fun than she previously thought. Flying at record-breaking speed Jaya was enjoying herself so much that she forgot about her initial goal to meet up with her sister and boss at the orphanage. Experimenting with her newfound flight capabilities Jaya soon climbed to the edge of the void to see how high she could fly. However, as she neared the edge of the void she felt numerous powerful presence. Despite being surprised to sense several strong presences here of all places Jaya decided to greet them hoping to run into the Southern Emperor and Royal Queen once again, just like the time when high school gangs from the surrounding cities planned to retaliate against Bright Lions for helping Wyatt destroy the Sun Blossom branch of the Circle. However, arriving at the edge of the void, Jaya was surprised to find that the powerful presence she felt were children of her age. Most of them were walking effortlessly at the edge of the void. Observing that they were all having some sort of gathering and waiting for their peers Jaya was astonished. After all, this was the edge of the void, not some picnic spot. ”I did not think there would be a local card apprentice capable of climbing to the edge of the void.” ”About time they noticed us, I was starting to think this trip was just a waste of time.” ”Do we begin? Others arenʼt here yet.” ”Gloria, you and the local are in the same realm, with your cards it shouldnʼt be hard for you to take her hostage.”

”Do I have to take her hostage? Canʼt I just kill her?” ”No, capture her alive. After all, we cannot meet the ʼHope of the Southʼ empty-handed.” ”In that case wonʼt her corpse make a better present?”
