"..." Hearing Kane, Vivian gave him a stink eye. Due to too much excitement, he could not keep up his honest guy charade and ended up hinting at what was going on in his head. Gaining scorn from Vivian.

"Vivian, cover up the clone. I don't think the boy can hold up for long." Vivian was a petite beauty, attractive enough to gather the attention of everyone in any gathering or event. I can understand why a semi-naked Vivian would stimulate a virgin like Kane.

"Master Wyatt, could you point me to the washroom?" Kane asked while bending a little to cover the tent in his crotch. His actions weren't fooling anybody.

"Not in my warehouse," I said sternly, there was only one washroom in the warehouse, and Anna was currently using it for a bubble bath. Even if it were unoccupied, I would not allow Kane to use it, knowing why he wanted to use a washroom. Still, I was once a horny teenager, so I added, "Kane, why don't you return in the afternoon? By then, I will have done all the research for your origin card. Once you return, we can jump straight to the card creation process."

"That's a good idea. See you in the afternoon, master Wyatt." Kane agreed to my arrangement without hesitation and left the warehouse hurriedly. Kane reacted as such, mostly because he was embarrassed and also because he felt Vivian's disgust towards him.

There was a reason why I asked Kane to come in the afternoon, and that reason was that the fairy guard produced Vivian's blood. The fairy clone Vivian had a calamity daughter gem in her. What's more interesting about it is that, as soon as it formed, it established a connection with my calamity soul gem.

This was a huge discovery. Blood clone meaning of blood rule is turning out to be more and more outrageous the more I explored it. Two things puzzled me the most about this,

1. How can the elder druids create such a perfect clone of Vivian with details down to the calamity daughter gem?  Does that mean Vivian's blood clone meaning can create blood clones of enemy units with ego gems?

2. Why was the calamity daughter gem created by the elder druid establishing contact with my calamity soul gem?

Vivian's comprehension of the blood rule and its meaning is still low, yet she is able to explore so many uses of the blood clone meaning thanks to her origin card. I can't imagine how powerful her ability will grow when she achieves ultimate comprehension of her blood rule meaning.

I was starting to see a pattern here about how rules used in combination with the cards could lead to realm-shattering power. For example, Old Ben's blood rule meaning, boiling blood, is also a perfect match for his original card, the Emotion Olfactory Gland. Chances of a card apprentice finding rules that synchronize well with their cards are meager, almost nonexistent. Am I lucky for having two such cases among my calamity daughter gems?

Back to the topic, How are Vivian's elder druids able to create my calamity daughter gem? Even if I attribute it to the blood clone meaning of blood rule, why does the calamity daughter gem created by the elder druid establish a master-slave relationship with my calamity soul gem? Is it because it is the only calamity parent gem available? Or is it because the original Vivian's calamity daughter gem is under the enslavement of my calamity soul gem?

I asked Vivian about it mentally through Hive AI. Now that Kane was not here to spectate, I could end the charade and devote my complete focus on the matter at hand.

'I don't know, master. I think things will become more clear if I were to increase my mastery of blood rule meaning.' Vivian, too, did not have an answer to my question, and she argued that is because her mastery of blood rule meaning is shallow, and if it were to increase, she might be able to answer how and why.

'Huh,' I did not want to give up just yet. I had Hive AI run tests on the calamity daughter gem inside the fairy clone Vivian created by elder druids. I wanted to check if the calamity daughter gem produced by the elder druid had any flaws. After a brief cross-checks, it was verified that the calamity daughter gem in clone Vivian is an exact copy of the calamity daughter gem in original Vivian.

Knowing there is no such thing as perfect, I persisted. Upon further scrutinizing the clone Vivian, I realized that her calamity daughter gem had not unlocked the second transformation. The clone could not come up with the necessary soul jades or soul energy for opening the second transformation of the calamity daughter gem.

I noticed one other thing even though the clone Vivian's calamity daughter gem held duplicate blood rule energy. It was nowhere near the blood rule energy contained in the original Vivian's calamity daughter gem. No matter how mind-bending and realm-shattering a rule meaning is, it cannot escape the law of conservation of energy.

Though on the surface, the clone Vivian appeared to be a perfect replica of Vivian in terms of realm and strength, beneath it the clone, Vivian did not have the soul energy or rule power to back it. Meaning that the perfect clone of Vivian could not last very long in a battle. But still, it should be enough to turn the tide of combat.

Not to mention the clone Vivian did not carry a grimoire of her own. The very noticeable limitation of using the blood clone meaning on card apprentice. It will shine better if used on monsters. Unlike humans, they do not need an external tool like a grimoire to use various abilities. And also, monsters have a very high close combat prowess making them the best candidate for blood cloning for the purpose of battle.
