Mike considered himself a realistic and practical guy but also understood that sometimes coincidences were possible but not enough to believe in a series of coincidences that looked like the entire universe was coming together to work against him. One or two coincidences in a day were still believable but a series of them under an hour, if he were to believe that then there wouldn't be a bigger fool than him.

At this point Mike had decided that he would only rest if he had a clear understanding of how much the enemy was prepared against him, was it just Ji Feng or all of them that were able to resist his Myriad devil body origin card? And the only way he could think of to find out that was to use his origin card on others. Therefore he ordered his bone dragon clone army to collect a blood sample from one of the enemies for him to test his origin card on.

Surfacing above ground worm Mike waited for the clone of his summons to return with a blood sample. Soon a clone bone dragon returned with a bloodied skeleton tail. Then the E-rank Steel back worm body Mike scraped a few samples of the blood on the skeleton tail and used it as a medium to test if his ability will work on this unlucky enemy of his.

This time too Mike used the blood medium to simultaneously cast the two abilities of his origin card, Myriad Devil Transformation, and Myriad Devil's Hex, onto the unlucky victim who was unlucky for being the one to be chosen out of their peers. Without much suspense, Mike's abilities worked, after the activation of the Myriad Devil Transformation his body had transformed from a worm body to a humanoid body. Then he immediately used his newly found ample spirituality to check on the enemy side.

Mike found that the battle array formation set up by the boy's subordinates had broken as one of the pillars of the battle array formation suddenly went berserk as they had suddenly morphed into a D-rank Twin-tailed Desert cat monster. Seeing the results, Mike was very much satisfied but he felt pain in his ankles. When he checked he found himself wearing high heels, learning this Mike's face became hideous as if he had swallowed a fly. He had transformed into one of the female subordinates of the boy, between the shame of having transformed into a woman Mike could not help but wonder how was that lady able to fight while wearing these when he found it difficult to stand in them.

Earlier Mike's thoughts were occupied by the doubt of whether his ability would work on the boy and his subordinates or not, were they too prepared to counter his origin card like Ji Feng, he did not have the leisure to spare thoughts to minor details. So he forgot to consider the fact about the blood sample brought by his summon could belong to an opposite gender and now that he knew his worries were unwarranted Mike could not help but spare thoughts to the details.

adapting to the high heels Mike came to the bold conclusion that the boy's subordinates were not equipped to negate his origin card like Ji Feng. Mike would never come to such a conclusion with minor evidence but a series of minor evidence were pointing at the same so he decided to be bold and came to a conclusion. The boy like his subordinates unlike Ji Feng was not equipped to negate his origin card. This was only a part of his conclusion.

Mike had begun to believe that the boy was not the real mastermind here, the boy was here only out of sheer thirst for vengeance. The boy had a good lineup of subordinates equipped with powerful cards but other than that he would never have been able to be a threat to the Circle's sun blossom branch until Ji Feng's betrayal came into the picture.

Apperately it was Ji Feng who sought out the boy for cooperation, it was Ji Feng who helped the boy make use of the Desolate punisher array to slaughter all the members of the Circle's sun blossom branch and it was Ji Feng who was prepared to negate his origin card, from the looks of it the boy had no idea about his origin, Mike thought as he looked at the boy and his subordinates at a loss when they saw one of them transform into a cat monster amidst an enemy siege.

From start to end if not for Ji Feng, the boy would never have been able to get past the desolate array formation without paying a hefty price. No matter how Mike saw it all the evidence pointed at Ji Feng as the mastermind who made use of the boy and his thirst for vengeance to destroy the Circle's sun blossom branch.

Mike had already concluded that Ji Feng was just a puppet of some unfathomable force or the Yin-yang harmony sect itself. Now he was sure that it was force backing Ji Feng, they were the real mastermind behind this.

Speaking of unfathomable, Mike was reminded of the organization that gave circle the intel about the boy attacking the Circle's sun blossom city branch. If it was that organization then Mike can understand how every unfortunate event that led to his loss looked like a series of coincidences. Only that organization had the power to get away after committing the biggest crimes without even leaving a clue behind.

If it was them then Ji Feng's betrayal was understandable. If it was them Ji Feng being prepared to counter Mike's origin card was understandable. If it was them then they were the only ones to profit the most if the circle were to fight either the Yin-yang harmony sect or the Southern royal family.

Mike suddenly felt like he was enlightened, until now his main suspects were the Yin-yang harmony sect and the Southern royal family. But these two forces had a lot of bad blood between them they wouldn't join forces, even if it was against the circle. In the end, it turns out that the circle too was a pawn in that organization's game.
