Taking the Blue stone from Jaya I began to appraise it using my soul pupils. What I saw was so breathtaking and unbelievable that I almost forgot to breathe. 

I saw all the soul pathways within the stone come together to form mini Jaya in the centre of the blue stone, the mini Jaya was very serene and tranquil similar to an angel from heaven so lifelike with her eyes closed it looked as if a real goddess was sleeping. 

This...this how is this even possible, this blue stone was not any stone it seemed to be a soul core, soul core of Jaya at that. Only beasts are meant to have a soul core, not humans. 

I mean the blue stone contained a part of Jaya's will and housed huge soul energy. Similar to a beast core which holds the beast's will, soul abilities and soul energy. 

What's more unimaginable is that the mini Jaya in the blue stone was wearing some kind of uniform made of tight spandex along with a cape. This uniform was a lot similar to a superhero costume shown in superhero comics back on earth. 

That was not important, only beasts summoned by dungeons have a soul core. So how come Jaya a human has a soul core. Is Jaya a beast in disguise? or is the stone an artificial soul core for humans?

Either of the two was a huge discovery, but the first one seemed less likely and the latter one was near impossible. 

Jaya couldn't be a beast in disguise as I checked her with my soul pupils, the movement that thought crossed my mind. Her soul pathways were normal and similar to an average human being. 

leaving me with only one reasonable explanation that the blue stone is an artificial soul core.  

Artificial soul core could revolutionize the whole power system of humankind introducing a new power system to the world. 

Right now humans use grimoire but if they can also have soul cores like beasts then a whole new door of possibilities opens up to be explored.

I had so many questions for Jaya yet I could not ask her because the blue stone was made in such a way that a card apprentice could not tell it apart from a normal stone. 

Even the experienced eye could only tell that this stone holds a large amount of soul energy but they would never guess that this is soul core. There is no way one could tell it is a soul core unless they can perceive soul pathways.

If I questioned Jaya about the artificial soul core then I would be hinting to her that I can perceive the soul pathway in some way. It would not take her long to connect the dots and guess that my origin card is not aura sight but a mutated version of aura sight which allows me to see soul pathways. 

I could ask her without spooking her or arousing any suspicion. I had to because artificial soul core for humans is a huge deal this meant humans did not need a grimoire or cards anymore they could just add soul abilities to their soul core similar to how beasts can. 

"Can I ask where you got this blue stone?" I asked 

"No" Jaya flatly refused with no room for further questions.

"Do you have more stones of a similar kind?" I had to ask, I could not just let go as my curiosity would not allow it. 

"Why so many questions? Just do what you are told" Jaya rudely answered reminding me to ask fewer questions.

I seem to have said the same thing to Susan when I first met her, ah karma. 

"This stone is very peculiar. It looks like a stone but contains huge soul energy, unlike a stone. If I had extra stones of a similar kind I could perform some tests to check what it is and what it is capable of. " I tried to reason with her. 

Because, If I could get my hands on a couple of artificial soul cores I was sure I could uncover secrets behind them and make a soul core of my own using the soul pupil. 

"No, this is the only one I have. can you create an origin card using it or not." Jaya impatiently answered.

 "No, worries I can. I was excited to see a stone that could hold so much soul energy. I guess that is why it's worthy of being a fate ingredient." It seems I can not get any info, seeing how tight-lipped Jaya is I had to give up my investigations of the artificial soul core for now.  

Unable to get any information on artificial soul cores from Jaya, I decided to focus on origin card creation and get the hell out of here as soon as possible. 

A question bothered me if the stone is a soul core, why is it not inside Jaya like how beast cores are inside the beasts.  

So I started to inspect the soul pathways of the stone to find an answer. It turns out the stone/soul core should have fused with Jaya on her 16th birthday but since she had contracted the grimoire beforehand it was unable to fuse with her.

The stone was unable to fuse with Jaya as the soul pathways in Jaya which were supposed to be fused with the stone were now occupied by the grimoire.

As I was further inspecting the soul pathways of the stone the mini Jaya suddenly opened her eyes and let out a huge soul howl.

I was unaffected by the howl but Jaya who stood in front of me fell to the ground covering her ears wailing in pain. Just when I thought the situation could not get any worse this happens.

Chapter 52: Viltronian

Time 16:20

Location Sky Blossom City, Fine Gold Resort, Hot Springs Bathhouse no.02

Seeing Jaya roll on the floor wailing with her hands covering her ears I was flustered, I knew the source of her torment the howling mini Jaya inside the stone but I did not know how to make it stop yet. 

I could see that some of the soul pathways from the stone were connected to Jaya and the mini Jaya was trying to communicate with Jaya using this soul pathway but these soul pathways were not for communication therefore Jaya could not understand what mini Jaya was trying to express instead it led to her agony. 

Mini Jaya did not understand this, being a part of Jaya's will she just wanted to come back to Jaya but the grimoire was blocking her path. 

I could put an end to Jaya's misery but it would require me to cut the connection of the stone with Jaya. It would be the opposite of what she hired me for.

Even though I knew what was happening, why it was happening and how to stop it, I could only sit back and watch it all happen to let nature take its course. 

After 15 minutes mini Jaya was finally done howling and closed her eyes returning to her sleep ending Jaya's misery. 

Jaya who was rolling on the floor unable to withstand the pain seconds ago suddenly got up and glared at me with bloodshot red eyes. 

I understood why she is glaring at me, the first thing taught to her as the Fine Gold heiress is not to show weakness in front of anyone be it loved ones, family, friends etc. What just happened a few seconds ago went totally against that teaching. 

So I know right now Jaya is thinking of hundreds of ways to assert her dominance over me and feel like the one in control here. So, I did not dare to test her patience or provoke her.

 Her eyes were shouting 'come at me if you dare.'

'Fu<k the artificial soul core I will be content if I leave from here in one piece.' I cursed inwardly and said "I did not see anything" not daring to look into Jaya's eyes. 

Jaya snorted and asked, "So, can you create the origin card or not?" 

Earlier I was planning to delay the card creation as much as possible to get more info on the artificial soul core but now it was no longer required as I could tell that Jaya herself had no idea what this stone was. 

If she had known about the stone/ artificial soul core, then she would have known the reason for her suffering earlier and stopped it from happening. 

It seems she doesn't even know what this stone is in the first place. Wasting no more time I said, "I can create the origin card and I require, 

E-rank High Wood Wisp x10

Unique grade origin core x1" 

"That's it and nothing else, you barely ordered any ingredients. For the undead summon card earlier you spent 100 million on the ingredients. 

 I want a strong origin card stronger than the undead summons card from earlier, not some sorry excuse of a card as my origin card." Jaya expressed her expectation for the origin card.

"Yes that's it please have your staff bring those ingredients as soon as possible, believe me, your origin card is going to be the best card I have created to date" I assured Jaya. 

Jaya's fate ingredient is her very own artificial soul core, all I have to do is to give it the ability to turn itself into a card and become a part of the grimoire so that the grimoire would not block it from fusing with Jaya. For which I only required those two ingredients. This card creation might be the easiest card I have created to date.

Soon the staff brought in the ingredients. 

[ E-rank High Wood Wisp x10 - 1,000,000$

Unique grade origin core x1- 125,000$

Total - 1,125,000$

Amount paid - on the house]

Jaya repeatedly reminded me more like warned me that I better fail than creating a weak-ass card.

Since the bathhouse was a private bathhouse we decided to carry on with the card creation in the bathhouse instead of going to a card lab. 

Forming a party with Jaya, I borrow her grimoire and place all the ingredients on the card creation page. closing my eyes I concentrate on the creation of the origin card. 

This case of card creation was a special case because here I was not going to move the soul pathways of the ingredients into the origin core instead I would move the soul pathways of the origin core into the stone/soul core giving the soul core the ability to morph into a card. 

But before that, I will strengthen the soul core with 10 High Wood Wisps to enhance mini Jaya. 

After enhancing mini Jaya I give it the ability to morph into an origin card. 

That's it origin card creation complete…

Now that the stone/soul core is the part of the grimoire the stone can share the soul pathways occupied by the grimoire and completely fuse with Jaya.

[Card Name: Viltronian

As I passed the origin card to Jaya, the bathhouse door was kicked in and people dressed in black started to pour into the bathhouse. 

Equipping her new origin card Jaya looked at the entrance of the bathhouse and said, "sister you are here, good... I was just about to test my new origin card."
