The more shameless and spineless Henricks acted the more cautious the Field Marshal grew. Knowing her brain could not keep up with the deep calculations of the likes of her niece and Henricks she limited her priority to what she knew best, protecting her young liege. She trusted the rest to her young liege believing in his array of capabilities.

Wyatt and Henricks both felt the tension in Field Marshalʼs stance. Sensing her caution toward him, Henricks was rather amused feeling Field Marshal was overestimating him. Trapped in her pseudo celestial space rule domain he was rendered helpless. Seeing her underestimate his strength Wyatt felt he was wrong to have hidden his true strength from her.

After all, the more informed the Field Marshal was the more meticulously she would perform her duties. Instead of wasting her effort on doing something as senseless as acting as his bodyguard. That too, fearing someone like Henricks who was more of an assassin than a fighter i.e. he was no threat to the current Wyatt.

”I am guessing with the help of your origin cardʼs abilities you have already explored many realms nearby or connected to ours through the gate dungeons. I want you to take us to a small desolate realm without any form of living beings occupying it. One that no one would miss if it were destroyed, Wyatt put forward his demand to Henricks, surprising both the latter and Field Marshal. They were unable to understand why Wyatt would make such a request.

Wyattʼs plan was simple, he wanted to explore and gauge his new strength and prowess. Having become one with the ʼSourceʼ and broken through to the Card Grandmaster realm he, himself, wasnʼt fully aware of what he and his skills were capable of.

In war, it was just as crucial to understand oneʼs own strengths as it was to know those of the enemy. Hence, after learning Southern Princess had made her move against him long ago the first thing Wyatt planned to do was know the full extent of his strength and skills after his baptism.

Knowing Seed World was not fit for him to test his powers and fearing he would attract the attention of the Card Worldʼs will if he were to explore his power on the Card World he decided to test his power where he would not have to worry about such things. Hence, he asked Henricks to take him to a realm devoid of any living being as he was free and the devil merchant code was expensive.

Originally, he was planning to go alone but feeling that the Field Marshal should know his prowess so that she could be at case about his safety and perform the other task assigned to her without any distraction he decided to take her along. Not to mention, she was a devil merchant too so they would not need Henricks to return to the Card world.

Yes, the devil merchant codeʼs inter-realm transportation rights to Card World belong to the ʼSeven Princes of Hell. L.e. no devil/demon merchant can travel to or from the card world using the devil merchant codeʼs inter-realm transportation without their permission. However, it did not apply to devil/demon merchants native to the card world. However, it did limit them from using it to transport their forces who werenʼt devil/demon merchants regardless of the price they were willing to offer. For that, they would need the Seven Princes of Hellʼs permission.

Be that as may, listening to Wyattʼs demand, Henricks saw his opportunity to reclaim his freedom. Yes, Wyatt did say he was free to go after taking them to a small desolate realm but Henricks wasnʼt

one to trust his life to the assassin trying to claim the bounty on his head let alone trust his freedom to someone who imprisoned him.

Within seconds, he had already thought of a plan to escape while helping Wyatt reach his destination. Though he dared to escape he did not dare to trick Wyatt after he had seen what Wyatt was fully capable of in mystic dimension.

Having noticed the subtle glimmer in his eyes, the Field Marshal sternly warned Henricks, ”No, funny business.”

”You donʼt have to remind me, Henricks retorted and cautioned, ”Are sure you want to go to such a realm? As there is only one reason for a realm to be devoid of living beings i.e. its environment is too harsh and still not capable of nurturing life. Meaning, it will not be fit for us either, especially you.” ”Donʼt worry about me. My physique is special. I can survive anywhere let alone a little harsh environment. You just worry about finding me the realm meeting my requirements, Wyatt assured Henricks that he did not have to worry about adapting to the atmosphere of an unknown realin. He was so confident that he could adapt to any atmosphere mostly because of his array of abilities such as his primordial energy enhanced skills, viltronian and world calamity tree hybrid physique, myriad devil transformation skill, pseudo-calamity soul gems, etc. Though he could not claim he was among the strongest in the myriad realms, he could claim that he could survive anywhere in the myriad realms.

Feeling Wyattʼs confidence in his words, the Field Marshal decided to trust her young liege. However, what worried her was Henricks using this opportunity to transport them to a dangerous place and escape leaving them stranded. The only thing stopping him from doing so now was her pseudo-celestial space rule domain covering the city.

However, if they wanted Henricks to use his origin card to take them to a small desolate realm devoid of living beings, she would have to withdraw her pseudo celestial space rule domain. Without it, she did not know what was keeping Henricks from pulling a fast one on them instead of following her young liegeʼs instructions.
