”I am done,” Dalie announced once she had finished adding the refined soul pathways of the dozen ruler-class blood slave cores to their respective frosling corpse puppet soul pathways.

Then I used the Breath of Erosion to exorcise all twelve clusters of soul pathway arrangement to ensure that the influence of the darkness in demonic cores and blood rule source in the blood slave cores used were thoroughly purged and erased for good. I didn’t want these remnant wills to downgrade the rank of the Forsling corpse puppet cards I was about to create or erase any chance of them becoming self-aware by giving birth to their spirits.

Simultaneously, together with my primordial spirits and Hive spirit, we added the artificial wills with complete mastery of the title Demon Core method: Frosilk, 3D printing AI software with a collection of 3D blueprints for various cold and magical weapons. All while we triple-checked the soul pathway arrangements, making sure none of the soul pathways were out of place and every soul pathway was where it should be.

There was a reason why I was being so meticulous about this card creation. It was because I wanted each of the frosling corpse puppets to give birth to their spirit when I finally crafted their cards into being. Considering all the profound, extensive knowledge I applied, not to mention the amount of time and expensive resources I have invested in them, these cards would only be worth it if they were to gain self-awareness. Ultimately, recreating the miracle of the Undead Devil Agony.

Now all that was left for me to do was to turn each soul pathway arrangement into cores, and then into cards. Suppressing the nervousness and my anticipation, I turned each cluster of soul pathway arrangement into a blood red core with an ice cold blue star at the center.

A typical Frosilk titled demon core would be pearl blue with a bright blue star at the center. This was especially true in the case of the Froslings that practiced the Frosilk titled demon core method.

Except for the ice cold blue star at their center these dozen cores I crafted did not look like typical Frosilk titled demon cores despite being designed using the Frosilk titled demon core method but appeared more like mutated blood slave cores, which wasn’t surprising as the blood slave cores were the most dominant ingredients in the entire card crafting with ruler-class rank.

Before proceeding to the final step, I paused and turned to Dalie, asking, ”Do you want to do the honors?”

Crafting cries during Soul Crafting and Card Crafting were different. During soul crafting, I had to time everything properly while animating the frosling corpse puppets to achieve the thunderous crafting cries. But in Card Crafting, I had more wiggle room, as the animation of the frosling corpse puppet was secondary as turning its core and soul pathways into a card was the most important defining moment. Because if it failed to turn into a card, all of this was a waste. Also, in card crafting, ’craft cry’ wasn’t actually the sound emitted by the successfully crafted item but the light emitted by the successfully crafted card.

What I meant to say was, the last step in card crafting, though very important wasn’t actually that complex and pivotal. It was like turning in the answer sheet after taking a test. It was a silly thing to forget and an important thing to do at the same time. Meaning, it didn’t matter if Dalie or I completed the last step as long as we took it.

However, in terms of significance, I hoped this told Dalie that I had genuinely come to accept her as my elder sister. After all, there’s a wise saying that if words weren’t enough, use your actions to get the message across.

”No, how could I?” Dalie politely rejected me, but I insisted, ”I want you to.”

Dalie briefly looked at her younger brother with a warmth-filled gaze before she nodded in agreement. Then, following Hive spirit’s guidance, Dalie mobilized her mental strength to simultaneously tugged on the transformation soul pathway of all twelve cores, handing in our answer sheets. Meanwhile, I quickly sprinkled some pixie dust on all the cores. Increasing my odds of creating a miracle today.
