I did not bother to correct Agatha’s speculation about the events that transpire between Cheng and my cronies earlier this evening since it worked in my favor. But it did invite mockery from Agatha, “Must be good to throw around your sugar mama’s name at every problem you face.”

“Yes, it does feel good. So I advise you to get one,” I advised Agatha.

“Nope, I can’t do it. Not everyone is born with thick skin like yours,” Agatha replied with a sneer.

“I will deal with you later, let me customize cards in peace,” For Cindy and my forces to make it into the city under the guidance of Cheng it would take a while in that time I planned to create the new custom energy sword. Therefore I did not have the time to bicker with Agatha so I let her have the win this time.

With a low snicker, Agatha went silent. Ignoring her I turned my attention to the grimoire. Equipping the storage card handed by Cheng, I fetched a core of the A-rank Enchanted Earth Serpents and placed it on the card creation page. Then I extracted the soul pathway’s belonging to the Enchanting ability of the monster from the core and transferred it to the common core containing the soul pathways of the eight energy sword handles. Later I stored away the serpent monster core along with the common core from the earlier. Then repeated this whole process with the remaining 7 serpent monster cores.

I am used to being economic and hoarding half-used ingredients that I feel like I could use later. But I cannot do the same when it comes to the clients at least not without their permission as that would count as misappropriating property from a client, a crime known as Embezzlement. But right now I was using my ingredients and did not need anybody’s permission on how to handle the leftover ingredients.

After transferring the 8 soul pathways of the Enchanting ability into the common core, I then conjured 8 calamity daughter gems and transferred them into the common core. Afterward, I did not immediately use them to replace the soul pathways of the C-rank energy cores in each of the energy word handles. Instead, I used the soul pathways of the Enchanting ability to replace the soul pathways of the enslaving ability of the calamity daughter gem. With the base successfully replaced I began removing the other skills granted by the calamity daughter gem except for the viltronian physique, successfully turning the calamity daughter gem into an artificial ego gem.

The viltronian physique was not for the card apprentice but for the ingredients that assembled the energy sword handles. Was I not worried about other card creationists finding the soul pathways related to the Viltronian physique? Nope, because the ability of the soul pathways related to the Viltronian physique was basically enhanced strength which could be achieved using any number of other replacements out there. Meaning nobody will give a damn about but it was different when it came to absolute enslavement ability, that would brew Strom.

Now that the artificial ego gems were created I used them to replace the soul pathways of the C-rank energy cores in each of the energy word handles. And thanks to the soul pathway of the viltronian physique the other ingredients became more durable and adding to that the effect of the Enchanting ability that replaced the enslaving ability, also increased the overall durability of the energy sword handles by a huge margin. With this, the customization of the energy swords was complete even without my needing to use the wood wisp essence and core to enhance the durability of the energy sword handles.

But seeing that I still had time to spare to be on the safer side I decided to use the wood wisp core and essence to strengthen the energy sword handles to bear the load of the new energy core, aka the sterile version of the calamity daughter gem, it had abilities to that of an artificial ego gem with two added extra abilities, Enchanting and Viltronian physique, whose effect would only spread to the energy sword hands and not the user. Meaning, that the sterile calamity daughter gem too could not help the card apprentice connect with the world’s will similar to an artificial ego gem.

Without wasting any more time I began transferring the soul pathways of the wood wisp essence and core to strengthen the soul pathways of the 8 new custom energy sword handles. With this, I had successfully modified all 8 of the energy word handles in the common core. Then I morphed the core into a card.

Card Customization Complete!

I immediately got off the couch, equipped the newly customized card in my grimoire, and summoned the 8 sword handles as I partially activated my gigamite physique. With that three pairs of floating hands appear on my back and all eight of my hands held a sword handle. Reminiscing about the plasma sabers used by the fictional characters back home right at this moment for the first time, I was genuinely happy that I transmigrated into this card world.

The excitement I felt right now could not be described in words, suppressing those feelings I focused and poured soul energy into all eight of the sword handle,

*PSHEW* *PSHEW* *PSHEW* *PSHEW* *PSHEW* *PSHEW* *PSHEW* *PSHEW*

Eight bright neon blue light columns similar to the blade of a sword extended out of each sword handle in my hand. Listening to the sound of the energy blades extending out of the sword handles, I felt chills. It would be an understatement if I were to say that this moment right now was the single greatest moment of my life. Right now I felt that I had made it, this feeling was rare for me, the only other time I felt way was when I killed the viltronian bastard in my past life.
