It was just Adrieneʼs guess that her inner goddess might be a transcendent being as she had never heard about the ruler class beings in the demigod/devil realm. They were a lot stronger than the demigods Adriene knew, after all, they were the beings closest to achieving the transcendent realm. Her ignorance had Adriene think as such but there was no evidence to say that her inner goddess was a transcendent or wasnʼt one. Besides it was too soon to conclude either. But it did not hurt Adriene to indulge in such thoughts as who among us doesnʼt like to consider ourselves the exception or the special one, especially in our teenage years. Regardless of the origin of Adrieneʼs inner goddess, thanks to her trait and mutated ego gem Adriene was able to stand out as the youth with the most potential in the present generation not just in the Southern Region but all five regions. After all, not every Card Lord could summon the strength of a demigod. Even though the strength summoned by Adriene was temporary and not as strong as an actual demigod it was still an incredible feat that only a handful could pull off. Just her being able to achieve this feat showed the limitless potential within her. ”This is the worst possible outcome,” JJ uttered, he did not think that a girl fight would end up like this. He looked at the towering nine-winged devil dragon corpse possessed by Cervos and the divine glow emitted by Adriene as the crowd in the surroundings rushed to safety not wanting to get caught in the clash of two titans and become a casualty. JJ then turned to look at his cousin and asked, ”Arenʼt you awfully quiet? Isnʼt it about time you prester me to stop the two of them from wreaking havoc or to save those three country girls?” ”...” Aria rolled her eyes at her cousin not wanting to make any sort of comment with Wyatt sitting on her shoulder. However, she internally yelled at him, ʼYou fool, how can you be this blind? Your death is right beside you and you are still thinking about unrelated stuff. Take this opportunity to run away before the grim reaper on my shoulder decides it is time for him to harvest souls.ʼ

Aria possessed the purest unparalleled bloodline after Anna, however, her strength was being held back by the presence of a second bloodline, the Art family bloodline. Still, she was someone with limitless potential. However, when compared to Adriene and Cervos who possessed the strength equivalent to a rookie demigod, she did not make it to the youth with the most potential in the present generation of the Southern Region let alone the five regions. According to Clown Maskʼs future vision, Aria would gain popularity during the war between the Southern Region and Northern Region which was set in play by Matron from the shadows. However, before that, she would remain a no-name Royal descendant who was 136th in the line of succession for the Southern Throne. Every descendant with an unparalleled bloodline was in the line of succession for the Southern Throne regardless of which family they belonged to. However, just in case, god forbid, if there were ever a time they were required to ascend to the Southern Throne then they while have to give up on their family name and inherit the Heatsend family name. These werenʼt the Southern Regionʼs Royaltyʼs customs but the same in the other three royal families. Both Aria and JJ were part of these royal descendants. ”Let me show these kids what a real and alive nine-winged devil dragon looks like,” Though JJ found his cousinʼs silence odd, he did not bother to wait anymore and walked toward Adriene and Cervos chanting aloud, ”Sacrifice Summoning: SSS-rank nine-winged devil dragon.” [Card Name: Sacrifice Summoning

Learning of Wyattʼs feat to defeat a devil by borrowing the power of a devil, JJ who never dared to venture into the dark arts finally gave in to the temptation. JJ was fully aware of the consequence of dabbling in the dark arts but believed that if a country hick like Wyatt could practice it without losing his sanity then he too could do it. Having decided to explore the dark arts JJ did not have to go out of his way to find dark arts and related knowledge, the Southern Royal Palaceʼs libraryʼs forbidden section was filled with all the knowledge his predecessor had collected on dark arts. JJ knew his way around the palace so it wasnʼt much of an obstacle for him to access the books on dark arts stored in the forbidden section of the library. Accessing the dark arts books in the royal library, to JJʼs dismay he found that most of these books were mainly on the various sacrificial demon/devil summoning rituals used by the demon/devil worshippers to make offerings to the demon/devil they worshipped to gain otherworldly powers from them or to summon demon/devil to card world. JJ was not discouraged by this rather he was relieved because though confident in his abilities he did not want to dwell too far into the taboo. He began to explore the sacrificial summoning of the dark realm even though he had no clue if it was what he was looking for.
