Time 7:54

Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234, Card lab

To think that Sky Blossom city was hiding a descendent of demigod, I think leaders of city do not know Pax is a demigod’s descendent otherwise no matter how dumb the Whiteburn family is they would not dare to challenge the last descendent of demigod into a life and death dual. Does Pax even know that he is the last descendant of the demigod Michael Angelo Godson? Considering Pax is the last descendent the Whiteburn’s must not be related to demigod Michael Angelo Godson then Pax’s deceased mother’s lineage belonged to Michael Angelo Godson, after all, he did say that the pendant belonged to his mother.

“A…um… mister is the card creation complete was it a success or a failure?” Feeling the gaze of the card creationist Pax asked meekly. Ever since Pax had entered the card lab he did not move or make any sound, he sat still circulating his mental strength to keep it at its peak in case the card creationist required his mental strength for nearly 20 hours. This was the patience of a marksman which his mother had beaten into him and one of the reasons he is so submissive and gutless.

“Wait! did you not feel the bright light a few hours ago?” I asked Pax because he never made a movement or uttered a sound, it was as if he was never here.

“I did not sir” answered Pax with a puzzled expression.

‘Was it just me… Interesting’ The curiosity about demigods grew within me, “Do you know demigod Michael Angelo’s full name?”

“No… honestly besides his frantic believers, not many know the name Michael Angelo most people know him as the godly marksman.” Answered Pax.

“Then you are in for a surprise kid, here take this card. Your Origin card creation was a success.” Seeing Pax did not know anything about his mother’s lineage I gave him the origin.

Pax took the card and equipped it. Soon a loud scream filled with deep agony and pain echoed in the card lab, my eardrums almost burst. The tier1 Cyborg (angel form) of his card is to fuse the nanotechnology to his body, which is a very painful process.

After a certain period of agony, Pax rose and stood on his feet. It seems the Viltronian human core and the nanotechnology implants have enhanced his strength by a huge margin. The weak sickly-looking boy who looked younger than his age had been replaced with a tall muscular athlete. Pax had had a famine look earlier but now with the sharp cuts of muscles, he looked handsome and older than his age, like those hunk underage models on the cover of boy magazines. It was like Pax had hit a sudden growth spurt now he was taller than me, I bet even his sisters will not recognise him.

“T-thank you!!” With a shout, Pax bowed in gratitude.

*sigh* Even though his body has changed to look like a man’s body his inside remained similar to a meek teenage boy. I shook my hand and asked, “no need to thank me I just did what I was paid to do, by the way, did you know about your mother’s lineage?”

“No sir this is the first time I knew of this.” Answered Pax.

“Ok let’s go out, I do not know about you but I am starving,” I said walking out of the card lab. As I neared the couch I heard the whining of Beth, “… The death match is at 9 o’clock. How long does it take to create a card!! Are they sleeping inside!!”

“Beth! For the thousandth time Shut up!… Oh, Mr Wyatt and…” Seeing me approach Amy asked Beth to shut up then greeted me but she was stuck seeing Pax next to me.

“OMG! Pax is that you! You look just like our father!” Beth shouted. Pax being Pax shyly ran to his sisters embrace who were inspecting him in curiosity. Hearing the commotion Susan walked out of the bedroom from behind Corey tagged along. Walking out of the bedroom Susan looked like she had just showered.

“Did you stay up all night?” I asked her.

“Yea! How could I leave, what if you needed me?… Do not worry I was not bored, Amy and Beth accompanied me through the night.

Your Uncle and Aunt came yesterday afternoon, a few hours after you entered the card lab. I have made arrangements for them in the guild association V.I.P suit. Jackie and Ronnie are accompanying them. ” Answered Susan gently.

“Good, they should be safe there for now and I will visit them later. Right now I am famished, what about you guys?” I asked Susan and Corey but Amy answered, “How about you guys join us? They should have organised a feast for the deathmatch.” Whiteburn’s took their deathmatches very seriously there is no room for surrender in their arena. Only one challenger could come out of the arena, that is if and only if the other challenger is dead. Therefore the feast would be arranged for the challengers as the last meal to the one who would lose.

Cooped up in the card lab for about 20 hours I did not mind a change of scenery. So I answered, “sure why not, lead the way! Before that, where’s the Black steel F16 alloy I asked you to buy Susan?”

“It is placed right outside the Warehouse, I was able to procure 28 tones of Black steel F16 alloy.” said Susan.

Black steel F16 alloy is a special variant of Black steel alloy, it weighs the same as black steel alloy and shares all its properties along with another additional ability to absorb thermal energy both positive and negative. That is Black steel F16 alloy can absorb cold and heat at a time not together. All the heat should be replaced to absorb cold and vice versa, both heat and cold cannot be absorbed at the same time. Otherwise, the Black steel will lose its molecular strength. I asked Susan to buy this alloy for two reasons. First, it is the cheapest special alloy in the market and second, the mech Iron Flesh can easily get overheated with a prolonged battle and its thermal system can reach its limit over time, so something like Black steel F16 alloy would help Iron Flesh fight a prolonged battle.

Standing in front of the load of 28 tonnes of black Steel f16 alloy I signalled Pax and said, “Pax you know what to do next…”

Pax summoned his grimoire and activated his origin card, and within a blink, all the 28 tonnes of black steel f16 alloy was sacrificed to his origin card. Amy, Corey, Beth and Susan looked in amazement as they had no idea what was going on.
