Chapter 1590 Divine Perception



Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 10:32

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital

After killing Belphegor's Worldhog Incarnation which was already drawing its last few breaths, Wyatt saw he had two options in front of him, one was to tag up with Colleen to try and capture Henricks or continue to use the sympathy of Henricks and Joy to achieve the impossible, them leading him to their main base in another realm.

Even if Wyatt thought that Colleen and he could capture Henricks, Wyatt would go with the latter option as he knew a veteran like Henricks would rather silently suffer torture for eternity than give his torturers what they wanted. Besides, Wyatt knew that even together Colleen and he could never capture Henricks as his origin card was overpowered when it came to escaping.

To be honest, ever since Wyatt knew that Henricks would try to capture him today, he had long decided to let Henricks capture him. Because he knew that after capturing him Henricks would take him to the main base of the Freedom Fighter in the other world. Making use of this Wyatt would gain the coordinates of the world where Freedom Fighters were hiding. 

Having already planned this, Wyatt had made the necessary preparations. However, there was a slight deviation from this plan because of Belphegor's involvement. Though worried Wyatt was confident he could control the situation to get the result he wanted. 

With that, Wyatt decided to put an end to the battle of Southern Capital by lifting his Twelve Blood Curse incarnation form. 

ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm As a result, Wyatt's soul energy signature suddenly reverted to that of its original level before it had gained the boost of the blood curse incarnation from, the soul energy signature of a Card Master. 

While lifting the Twelve Blood Curse incarnation body, Wyatt also simultaneously separated the SSS-rank blood curses that possessed his mutated soul causing him to feel a soul-tearing pain. This pain was a thousand times worse than the time William Bright tore his soul back in his warehouse in Sky Blossom City. In response to the pain Hive AI quickly reacted and began to manage the pain for Wyatt. 

Soon Wyatt began to cough up blood and feel his physical body lose vitality at an incredible pace. Had he not intervened in time, overcoming the soul-tearing pain he felt, his physical body would have collapsed on itself. But by the time he had acted, his physical body was severely damaged to the point that his bones could be seen through his skin. 

The adverse reaction of Wyatt's physical body was the result of the damage sustained by his mutated soul. Turns out that by housing the SSS-rank curses for even a fraction of a millisecond in his mutated soul in the absence of the enhancement from the Twelve Blood Curse incarnation form Wyatt's card master realm mutated soul had stretched to the point where numerous small tears had formed in it. 

These tears had not appeared when Wyatt was in Twelve Blood Curse incarnation form but when he deactivated it, had he separated the curses from his mutated soul before lifting his Twelve Blood Curse incarnation form instead of simultaneously lifting them this could have been avoided. As the Twelve Blood Curse incarnation form would have protected his soul from wear and tear. 

However, when Wyatt simultaneously lifted the Twelve Blood Curse incarnation form and the SSS-rank curses possessed his consciousnesses, the extra fraction of a millisecond required for the curses to separate from the consciousnesses of Wyatt's mutated soul left multiple tears in them. Wyatt could not imagine what would have transpired if the curses had taken longer to separate from his mutated soul. 

With this incident, Wyatt curved into his soul that the next time he uses the Twelve Blood Curse incarnation form he should separate the SSS-rank curses possessing his soul first under the protection of the curse incarnation form before deactivating it. Just like when one has to take precautionary measures when starting a fire and when extinguishing a fire. Otherwise, they risk burning themselves. 

In the end, this worked in Wyatt's favor because with this he no longer had to pretend that he could no longer fight as he was seriously injured from fighting against the devil using borrowed power. To garner enough sympathy from both Colleen and Henricks such that they forego the notion of fighting.

Tears in his soul were not new to Wyatt, that was how he was able to create his mutated soul and come up with a whole new power system based on soul mutation. However, the pain that came with was unbearable. Even with the help of Hive AI managing the pain Wyatt still could not stand the pain. But he did not complain. As his circumstances did not allow it and not to mention had he been cautious enough to separate curses from his mutated soul before he lifted the curse incarnation form then this could have been avoided. 

Fortunately for him, the curse separated from his soul fast enough that he could still manage the aftermath they left in their wake and thanks to the pain of his mutated soul tearing he could gain the sympathy of Henricks and Joy without any suspicion. 

This was important because he needed them to take him to their base realm where they had hidden the D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon that they stole from him. Since Wyatt has never been to their main base he solely relied on gaining their trust and sympathy such that they let their guard down and foolishly lead him to their main base in another world. 

As for the tears on his soul, he could heal them just like how he healed the cut in his soul that Corey's grandpa had made, using his mutated soul power system. Soul repair was not that urgent as aside from the pain the only other consequence of having a damaged soul was that until he heals his soul he cannot increase his active soul control percentage. 

Besides, now was not the time for him to worry about healing his soul as Wyatt was more focused on achieving his agenda to garner the sympathy of Henricks and Joy. Because if Henricks has even a hint of suspicion about him then instead of him conning Henricks into having him lead him to Freedom Fighter's main base in other world, he would become the prisoner of Henricks. 

This was also the reason why made sure to display that he had completely sealed the plague egg in his body and had it under control for now.  Because nobody would be stupid enough to take an unstable container of plague to their home. Especially not Henricks, regardless of what he stood to gain Henricks would never do anything to risk his people. Therefore, if he had even the slightest of misgivings about Wyatt then he might just dump him in some other world that could not sustain life. 

By now it was clear that, by deactivating his Twelve Blood Curse incarnation body Wyatt had given up all his control over the situation, and left everything up to Colleen and Henrick's discretion. Yes, Wyatt could always move soul to one of his remote pseudo calamity soul gems and escape anytime he wishes but that applied if he was in this world. He would not be able to do that if Henricks were to use his origin card to take him to another world.

So, in a way, in order for Henricks to lead him to the main base of Freedom Fighters in another world Wyatt had given up control of his life and death. He sought to completely rely on gaining the trust and sympathy such that he could ensure that Henricks would lead him to the Freedom Fighters base and not some godforsaken world. 

Wyatt had made sure of this by pretending to sacrifice himself for the world. To gain the trust and sympathy of Henricks, a soldier and the leader of a revolutionary force like the Freedom Fighters, there could not be a more fitting and surefire way. 

Foregoing the control of his life to almost losing his life for the world, all of this was far from enough to gain the complete trust of all the demigods present and avoid any form of suspicion. Just pretending that he was severely hurt by sacrificing his life to protect the world would have worked had his target been Card Emperors or Semi-demigods but for Demigods it would not be enough because of their Divine perception. 

Demigod's divine perception was real trouble, it allowed them to perceive the thoughts of a lower being, especially when the intent of their thoughts concerned them. This would have been a god-like ability if only they could read what the lower being was thinking, but still being able to tell that they were thinking of them was also good. Some keen perspective demigods could even tell good intentions apart from bad ones.

So, in order to successfully gain the complete trust and sympathy of the demigods Wyatt would not only have to deceive their eyes but also their divine perception. Which was easier said than done.
