Walking towards the huge blood rule explosion I searched for Lois, as none of the conditions of my wager with the devil were met to indicate that either I or the devil had won the wager. This could only imply that as a result of the explosion I did not get Lois to surrender or render her incapable to fight or kill her nor did Lois flee. Meaning, Lois was alive and hiding in the vicinity. As much as I would love to know how Lois survived I decided to search for her using my soul pupil feeling that she might have hidden in her spiritual channel to recuperate.

However before I could find Lois, she found me. I was certain of this as I felt her presence in the mid-section of my spiritual channel. Unfortunately for her, I knew something like this would happen, rather I baited Lois into doing this by acting defenseless as I felt that baiting Lois would be easier and faster than finding her in this vast land. Not to mention the time limit of my wager with the devil was almost up.

My bold choice of baiting Lois was all because the Hive AI had finally managed to find how Lois's physique was able to transfer the compressed body of the target into their spiritual channel. The answer to this was right in front of my eyes but I never considered this possibility. However hundreds of thousands of simulations conducted by Hive AI did, finally unveiling how Lois's physique was able to send the compressed body of the target into their spiritual channel, and it was none other than Lois's physique's Mass Alteration type ability that compressed the body of the target.

Yes, the same ability of Lois's physique that compressed the body of its target was also the reason for sending the target into their spiritual channel. I never thought that the Mass Alteration type ability of Lois's physique could be applied to the spiritual channel like this.

Consider the spiritual channel of a card apprentice as their center. What Lois's physique does was it would compress the body of the card apprentice except for their spiritual channel to the point that the body of the card apprentice becomes smaller than the card apprentice's spiritual channel. By this step, the compressed body of the card apprentice will be nothing but a small mole on the outer surface of the spiritual channel of the card apprentice. Then this small mole gets further compressed such that it vanishes from the outside surface of the spiritual channel and regrows inside the spiritual channel's inner walls with the ability to move independently along the inner walls of the spiritual channel.

The ability to move their compressed body independently along the inner walls of their spiritual channel was only limited to Lois but not to her targets as they did not have her physique.

In conclusion, Lois's physique compressed the body of the target to the point where they grow smaller than its spiritual channel and then regrows within its spiritual channel attached to the spiritual channel's inner walls. Like a benign tumor had grown on the inner walls of the spiritual channel. This was how Lois was able to use her physique to move in and out of her spiritual channel and trap her victims in their spiritual channels.

Now that Hive AI had deduced how Lois's physique ability worked, it went one step further and deduced how I could do the same using the restructuring ability of my calamity soul gem. Not just me but all my calamity daughter gems too, as they also had the restructuring ability.

How was it possible for me to use the restructuring ability to replicate Lois's trick of entering one's spiritual channel? It was simple. Taking the spiritual channel as the center of the calamity soul gem, instead of using restructure ability to grow my body around the calamity soul gem, what if I grew a miniature version of my body using the restructure ability within my spiritual channel? Yes, it was possible. Hive AI had already done all the math. Now I too was able to enter my spiritual channel like Lois if I willed it, by making use of the restructuring ability of my calamity soul gem.

In a way, my way to enter the spiritual channel was better than Lois's because, in my way at the least, a miniature version of my body grew on the inner walls of my spiritual channel while in Lois's way, her body would grow on her spiritual channel like a benign tumor. In my version making use of restructuring ability finely, I too would be able to move around inside my spiritual channel independently like Lois was able to in her spiritual channel. The same was true for my calamity daughter gems.

So when Lois appeared in the mid-section of my spiritual channel in the shape of a benign tumor I controlled my spiritual channel to not forcefully throw Lois out of it. Instead, three miniature versions of me appeared right next to the tumor-shaped Lois, they were my three slave consciousnesses, acting as the sentinel of my spiritual channels. The three miniature versions of me grabbed the benign tumor-shaped Lois and dragged her toward the end of the spiritual channel that ended in the Spiritual Plane. Simultaneously chanting, "Surrender or roam the Spiritual Plane for eternity as a spiritual entity without a physical body."

The most difficult part about this was not subduing the tumor-shaped Lois but controlling my Spiritual Channel to not eject Lois out of it following its defense protocol against foreign entities invading it.

…

Unaware of her surviving the explosion the boy appeared to be celebrating his victory over her defenselessly. So, Lois suppressed the backlash, pain, and strain on her body and shifted her to the mid-section of the boy's spiritual channel to assassinate him before he realizes that she had not died in the explosion. Feeling this was the right moment to assassinate him Lois made her move not knowing that she was going to experience the most bizarre thing she had experienced by far.
