I have two motives for creating the mecha cards. The first one is to earn some broken runes, and the second is to sow my calamity daughter gem in the Clown mask to get the information about the future she had. To achieve both objectives, I will have to create the three mecha cards at the earliest. Therefore when Susan arrived with the ingredient cards, I asked her to acquire them. I collected them and got to the card creation process without further delay.

[ Card Name: Rule Power Generator

Card Type: Ingredient card

Card Rank: A-Rank, Rare grade

Card Rate: -/-

Card Durability: [ 57/100]

Card Effect: Rule Power Generator is a generator that uses broken runes as fuel to generate clean rule power. ]

Going through the stacks of Ingredients cards, I picked up the second-hand Rule Power Generator ingredient card. Its card durability was way lower than the minimum recommended durability limit. Using this generator for mecha card creation would turn them into a ticking time bomb waiting to blow up any second.

I checked if rearranging the card’s soul pathways would help with increasing its durability, and I would have one less generator to make. Unfortunately, that was a dead end as the generator’s parts were too worn out for any alteration or modification. So I was left with only one option to reverse engineer the generator and create three brand new Rule Power Generators for the mecha cards.

After checking on the Rule Power Generator, I took out the three beast wills ingredients cards from the stack of card ingredients. The three beast wills belonged to three different monsters of Lion, Eagle, and Tortoise kind.

[ Card Name: Volcano Lion Beast Will

Card Type: Ingredient card

Card Rank: A-Rank, Rare grade

Card Rate: -/-

Card Durability: [97 /100]

Card Effect: The beast will belong to a Volcano Lion. ]

[ Card Name: Gale Eagle Beast Will

Card Type: Ingredient card

Card Rank: A-Rank, Rare grade

Card Rate: -/-

Card Durability: [96/100]

Card Effect: The beast will belongs to a Gale Eagle. ]

[ Card Name: Terrain Back Tortoise Beast Will

Card Type: Ingredient card

Card Rank: A-Rank, Rare grade

Card Rate: -/-

Card Durability: [98/100]

Card Effect: The beast will belonging to a Terrain Back Tortoise]

All the three beast wills belong to A-rank monsters. Acquiring these three beasts will would not have been possible without the cooperation of the City hall and Card Creationist Association. A-rank beast wills are privileged ingredients that were hidden in the treasure vault of the city hall, and card creationist association. If not for Anna’s identity acquiring the cooperation of these associations would not have been possible. And thanks to that, the price of these three cards was a lot cheaper than their original price.

Now I was going to test my theory about changing the shape of the broken rune sprites to that of the beast will. For that, I took the Rune Jewel and used my mental power to withdraw the fire elemental broken rune into a calamity daughter gem. Then I placed both the Volcano Lion beast will card, and the Fire elemental broken rune calamity daughter gem into my golden grimoire and began my test.

I could have performed the test on all three broken runes simultaneously using my slave consciousness, but I did not because I was unsure about the test results. If the test failed, I would lose three beast wills simultaneously. Therefore, to be on the safe side, I decided to test with the fire elemental rune, and if I got a positive result, I could then proceed with the other two.

Without hesitating anymore, I contacted the fire elemental broken rune spirit and went through its memories to check how much intelligence it had left. Thankfully it showed an intelligence equal to that of a human pre-teen. And with the help of the hive AI, it was entirely capable and functional to operate a mecha.

Now that the rune spirit was up to the mark, for the next step, I had to destroy its current humanoid form and have it take the form of a volcano lion. This was easier said than done. Though the rune spirit was subdued due to the calamity daughter gem, it was still nurtured and forged by its previous master. So it’s not a marvel that it had taken after its master’s form. That humanoid form was its individuality. Destroying it meant destroying a large part of the rune spirit.

I had to be careful here. If I damage the rune spirit more than it can handle, then there is a chance that the rune can disintegrate and dissipate into the world. That would not be good and be like taking a step back.

Therefore I carefully transformed the soul pathways of the Volcano Lion beast will into the calamity daughter gem containing the Fire elemental rune. As soon as the soul pathway of the Valcona lion beast’s will entered the gem, I instructed the broken rune to swallow and digest the Volcano Lion beast’s will.

Runes are different from any other form of the matter I have seen to the present. They do not have soul pathways. They are just a mass of energy. This was the reason I had my doubts about the test. I did not know how I was going to combine the Soul pathways with a mask of energy. Therefore I had the fire elemental broken rune energy devour the beast will’s soul pathway and digest it. And now I was waiting for the result to see if the broken rune could digest the volcano lion will in the soul pathways and integrate the beast will with itself.

Having devoured the soul pathways, the broken rune did not show any change, so I contacted the fire elemental broken rune to see if it had gained anything after digesting the soul pathway of the Volcano Lion beast will.
