The total cost of ingredients amounted to near $131.5million, I could not use ingredients higher than C-rank as both I and Elliott were only silver rank grimoire holders, limiting my choices.

But for the origin card, I had in mind these ingredients were more than enough. Not to mention I still have the Gemini and Para share cards from Fine Gold, which I forgot to return.

Susan had prepared the ingredients and also invited the guild management to set up the card lab equipped with the soul scissors and incubator in the warehouse.

Soul scissors is not an ingredient, it is a machine that a Card Creator uses to split the patient’s soul, which the soul incubator houses and nature the split soul.

While the guild management was setting up my very own card lab equipped with Soul scissors and Soul incubator, I was learning how to use them through their user guide and Susan was entertaining the guest.

Gotta commend this world’s occupation cards, they built the card lab equipped with soul scissors and incubator in one and a half hour to be precise it is one hour 20 minutes. But they were not cheap, I was not worried as all the cost was paid by Elliott.

Soul Scissors is a very expensive and special machine its primary use is to observe the wavelengths of the soul pathway to identify and differentiate each of them individually. Once identified then the Card apprentice can use the machine to cut the required soul pathway.

Thanks to my soul pupils I do not require a machine for this, I needed this machine for its advanced use that is to split Elliott’s soul to make a false human core just like the one Jaya had.

Using my soul pupils I had already deduced Jaya’s false human core but I was not certain if the soul pathways arranged in the false core were familiar to Jaya’s normal soul pathway arrangement.

Therefore I went back to the bathhouse to collect Jaya’s hair, which fell when she was rolling on the ground in pain.

The soul pathway arrangement of a person is unique and the same in their entire body, similar to DNA.

Comparing the soul pathway arrangement in me and Jaya’s hair and the false core I began to deduce the secret behind Jaya’s false core and the Viltronian powers it gave her.

But this was not enough to deduce the secrets of the false core and Viltronian, thankfully I was an expert on Viltronian DNA and had successfully created Viltronian’s back on earth.

Using my knowledge I gained of Viltronian DNA back on Earth and the unique soul pathway arrangements of the false core I was finally able to deduce all the secrets behind the false core and Viltronian powers.

Turns out Viltronians are humans who under million years of evolution had their DNA and soul pathway arrangement cleverly evolved to give them their current prowess and false soul core.

I hated Viltronians more than anyone else out in the universe but I had to acknowledge their prowess and their long life span, therefore I wanted my second origin card to be a variant of the Viltronian card that Jaya had.

But being an inventor I knew nobody gets the best results on their first try therefore I decided to experiment *ahem* I mean I let Elliott have the honour of being the first human to have a soul core. Jaya was excluded as she was not human, to begin with.

To be clear I was not going to make Elliott a Viltronian origin card but an origin card that followed the example of Viltronian evolution and soul core. And to make things easier Elliott’s fate ingredient was the clear scale earthworm core.

I was not going to cure Elliott’s gene defect using the origin card I planned for him but I was going to use his gene defect as an advantage to create him a perfect origin card.

…

“Wyatt, the card lab is set up and ready to use” Susan informed me as I was busy learning how to use the soul scissors and incubator.

“I am done here too, are the ingredients in place,” I said closing the user manual.

“Yes, Corey is placing them in the card lab as we speak.”

“Great! then what are we waiting for, let’s get started.”

…

Inside the card lab, Looking at the operating bed of the soul scissors machine Elliott nervously asked, “how sure are you about this?”

“100%” I replied

“even though the machine has a 22% error rate and its manual highly recommends to avoid soul splitting if not necessary.”

“Don’t sweat the small stuff, my skill reduces the error rate to zero. Now get on the bed.”

The machine has such a high error rate because its lens was not that accurate and also making it cheaper and affordable. contemporary romance

But this error rate did not hinder me as I was going to use my soul pupils rather than the machine lens.

“Remind me how old are you again?” Asked Elliott comparing my skill to experience.

“17.”

“Aren’t you a little young to operate a soul scissors?”

“No, I am not”
