Chapter 134: 133: False Relic

Date- 24 Mar 2321

Time- 17:57

Location- Sky Blossom City, Whiteburn Manor, South Wing, Card Hall.

After reading my second origin card info I nodded in satisfaction and equipped it into my second origin card slot. 

As soon as I equipped my second origin card and was basking in the power that filled my body the grimoire buzzed with notifications, 

[ Second origin card Calamity Human core equipped!] 

[Alert! False Relic Soul Pupil reacting to False Relic Calamity Human Core!

Caution: Equipping two False Relics not recommended.] 

[Alert! False Relic Calamity Human core reacting to False Relic Soul Pupils!

Caution: Equipping Two False Relics not recommended.]

[Warning! False Relic Soul Pupil rejecting False Relic Calamity Human Core!]

[Warning! False Relic Calamity Human core rejecting False Relic Soul Pupils!]

'WTF!' Reading the notifications I was dumbfounded, 'What are False Relics? Aren't Soul Pupil and Calamity Human core my origin cards! Why does the system keep calling them False relics?'

Before I could even make sense of what was happening two bright bodies made up of intertwined soul pathways floated out of my grimoire. One of the bright bodies was shaped in the form of a pair of human pupils while the other bright body was shaped like a human core, they were the soul pathway bodies of Soul pupils and the calamity human core.

Soul pathways extended from both bright bodies and started to fend off each other's soul pathways. It was as if both the soul pathway bodies wanted to strangle each other. 

I tried using my soul pupils to find any clue to what was happening but all I could see was that both the soul pupil body and the calamity human core body seemed like living beings with their own will. And also they were hell-bent on destroying each other. 

Unfortunately for the soul pathway body of Calamity human core it was less bright than the soul pupil and seemed to be on the losing end.

Soon I heard another notification ring from the grimoire, I hurriedly read it as I did not know what was happening but from the looks of it, it seems my first origin card was rejecting my second origin card rather it seems to be trying to kill the second origin card. 

[Alert! False Relic Calamity Human Core nearing collapse due to huge damage!]

'Fuck!' I cursed reading the notification, 'did my first origin card just kill me!' 

Be it Soul pupil or Calamity Human core both are part of me if either of them is destroyed the same fate befalls me so I couldn't allow this to happen. Since the beginning of this incident, I was wrecking my head to come up with a way to stop whatever was happening here but if my guess is right false relics are some kind of living cards of a sort. My first origin card Soul pupil is a false relic and considers me as its property and does not like the idea of sharing me with another of its kind False relic Calamity human core. 

Living cards?... Even I was having a hard time getting around the theory I just came up with. But what I saw with my soul pupils supported this theory. Unable to come up with a solution, a brave idea came to my mind, what if I broke through now! 

I was on the verge of a breakthrough after the second mutation of my mutated soul, but I was holding back from breaking through as I wanted to get my second origin card to also gain the benefits of baptism. The more I thought about the idea the more plausible it seemed. I had to hurry as the soul pathways of the calamity human core seems to be on the verge of collapse any second now. 

'Damn it all! Risk it!' I thought as I steeled my heart as I broke through to the next realm. As my active soul crossed to 30% a very familiar strength surged into my body. Yes! This is the feeling of stepping into a higher realm, it is so addictive.

When I was enjoying the feeling of ascending to the higher realm I suddenly realized I could not feel my body, I tried to lift my hand to check but nothing came into my field of vision so I looked down only to see my arms and other body parts slowly dissipate into black dust it seems my body is collapsing. 

'It seems my second life ends here. It was very short…' I thought as I looked at the culprits for my demise they seemed to be fighting more intensely and my death did not seem to matter to them. 'What's the point you fuckers? If I am dead you guys will also be destroyed!' 

Just then it suddenly hit me, 'Maybe! Maybe this could work.' Then using my mental strength I poured all 812+ soul jades that I had on me onto the floor right below me. 300 soul jades were used to procure 30 tonnes of Liquid spirit gold(LAG) and some were used during the second mutation of my mutated soul. I did not know if this would work but this was the gamble I was willing to risk as I was losing everything anyway. I was having trouble breathing but thankfully the collapse had finally reached my head. First, I lost my vision and then...

…

Date-??

Time-??

Location-??

'Um… what is that sound? Crying… who is crying next to a sleeping person… Wait! I can think. Wasn't I supposed to be dead, if I am alive then there can only be two reasons for this. first, I have been reincarnated again or Second, my last-ditch efforts worked.' I hopefully opened my eyes rooting for the latter as I did not want to be reincarnated again nor did I want my second life to end just like that. 

I looked around the room in search of the wailing person only to find a middle-aged couple, uncle Wyatt was embracing the grief-stricken auntie Wyatt, the source of the sobbing sound. 

'Where am I? Why are uncle and auntie Wyatt here? Is it Ronnie, was the Zhang mercenary bothering him again.' I thought looking at the grief-filled uncle and auntie Wyatt. Kevin Zhang did challenge me but that does not mean he would leave Ronnie alone. Soon uncle Wyatt's eyes met mine. 

"You are up my boy! How are you feeling? Let me call a professional." Without waiting for my answer uncle Wyatt rushed out of the room to call for a doctor.

Auntie left his embrace and knelt next to my bed, she embraced my bedridden body and said, "Sorry! Auntie could not be there for you in your time of need. I am sorry! I am so sorry!" 

Hearing auntie Wyatt my whole body shook in alarm, 'They know! What happened here? How long was I out cold?' 

Then I heard a bunch of hurried steps walking into the room, due to auntie Wyatt embracing me my field of vision was limited and could not see who and how many appeared? 

"Dear, let the doctor take a look at Wyatt." Said Uncle Wyatt as he freed me from auntie, finally I could see that almost everyone I knew in this world had appeared, crowding the room. Susan, Corey, Pax, Amy, Beth, Ronnie, Jackie, Eliza… even Elliott was here. 

The middle aged lady whom uncle Wyatt had led in standing next to my bed summoned her grimoire and then turning to uncle Wyatt she said "He is fine and there is nothing to worry about. He seemed to have exhausted his mental strength during card creation and has lost consciousness in the process. All he needed was a little rest to recover his mental strength. 

"That does not explain him being naked when we found him, his clothes were right next to him." said Beth, looking at me menacingly. 

"Ms Beth I am a doctor, not a detective or you can ask him now that he is awake. My work is done here I will take my leave" Saying the doctor left the room. 

"Well, Wyatt…" Beth took the doctor's advice. And the rest also curiously waited for my answer. 

"I don't remember. Wait! Who are you?..." I asked, I will just pretend that I do not remember what transpired.

Beth was stuck, she did not expect such an answer from me. Finally, collecting her mind she shouted, " I am your friend! I showed you my dress collection just yesterday. " 

'I think she doesn't know the meaning of friends.' I thought watching the aggrieved expression on Beth's face but my joke with Beth worried my aunt as she suddenly held my hands and said, " I am your aunt remember!"

"I remember you, auntie. And how long was I unconscious for?" I asked. 

Auntie did not answer instead, she looked at Eliza, who answered me, "we don't know exactly! But by midnight you did not come out of the card lab. The card hall staff tried to check on you but getting no response they followed the protocol and found you unconscious lying naked on the floor. It's been an hour since then."
