Orchestrating my death was a mind-numbing process in itself. I had to make sure nobody noticed that I replaced my original self with an Avatar. Achieving that with a room full of card emperors and under the scrutiny of the water mask was no way an easy job. But like all great charlatans, all I needed was a good distraction enough to drive everyone’s attention to it, giving me an opportunity to switch my authentic self with my avatar.

Exploding the Cloud Lord and Thunder Grappler broken rune ego elementals was an excellent distraction. Exploding the broken rune meant I would be destroying both of the runes. So the perfect turn for the sacrifice of the two broken runes would be self-destruction.

Distribution of the broken runes was necessary because any other ordinary explosion would not have been enough to do the trick. My audience, whom I am trying to trick, is not an average crowd. It is filled with Card emperors who were on watch for any suspicious activity. A slight mistake, the plan would fail, and I would lose my life.

Out of all the ego elementals I had, I chose to sacrifice Cloud Lord and Thunder Grappler because of other destructive power behind the Lightning and thunder rule. The noisier the explosion, the more attention-grabbing the distraction. This distraction was the foundation my plan was supposed to build on. Without a solid foundation, my plan would crumble by a passing wind.

The Self-destruction of Cloud Lord and Thunder Grappler’s broken rune lead to the blinding light of the lightning, roars of the thunder, and the dark clouds filling the room. They served as the perfect distraction I was planning on.

With the attention of Luna, the other two card emperors, and the hostile Water mask on the unexpected explosion, I replaced my original body with the avatar C1 within under 1 second. Switching my body with a calamity daughter gem Avatar was another challenge. Self-destruction of Cloud Lord and Thunder Grappler’s broken rune had given me a perfect distraction that doesn’t mean that I can be too reckless and blatant with my actions. It had to be done discreetly.

There were too many powerful souls present in this room, and any abrupt actions would not go unnoticed. For the second part of the plan, instead of switching my body with a Clone, I decided to change my Calamity Soul Gem with a Calamity Daughter Gem. Peplating the whole body was too big of a change, and there is no way I could get away with it in the presence of not one or two but four or more Card Emperors.

Yes, I would be losing my body, but I could build a new one with the restructuring skill of my Calamity Soul gem. It’s not like I am attached to this body or anything. My soul was possessing young Wyatt’s body which got restructured in the Whiteburn manor’s card room. So destroying the body did not affect me much. With enough Soul Jades, I can build a better one according to my preference.

Switching my Calamity soul gem with Calamity daughter gem was not as easy as I said. Imagine a driver switching places with the passenger while the car is speeding at 110 km/hr. There are bound to be some discrepancies during the switch. Similarly, when I switch the two gems within my body for a second, my body will shut down. The distraction was for this second. As planned during the self-destruction of the two broken runes, I switched my Calamity Soul Gem with Calamity Daughter Gem of avatar C1, turning my original body into the avatar body C1. In contrast, my Calamity soul gem was safe and sound in my grimoire.

Now that my original self was out of harm’s way, I summoned the other ego elementals to protect my Avatar C1. I thought Luna and the other two unknown Card emperors would put up a decent fight with intruders. To my surprise, they did not even notice the enemy Water mask even after I alerted them of the enemy attack. This reaction from the trio poured cold water on the Little hopes of not giving Avatar C1 killed.

The enemy came prepared, and we thought they had a special card that seemed to be an expert in stealth, phasing, storage, and transport. Fook with this kind of card, one can do all types of perverted shit and get away with it. The Water Mask spit out four card emperors who caught Luna and the two unknown Card emperors with surprise. Thanks to my advance alert, they were able to hold their ground. Still, while the hostile Card emperors stalled this three incompetent trio, the water mask sped its way towards me, and It spat out another card emperor who, with a single gesture, blew Avatar C1’s body to pieces and was soon swallowed by the Water mask along with the other four hostile card emperors in that order.

Simultaneously with the explosion of my Avatar’s body, I canceled the summon of the other three ego elementals and had the blood swordsman dissolve and scatter across the room with the blood from the Avatar’s body. There is a method called blood revival mentioned in Emperor Claude’s memory. I was planning to use that method to disguise the restructuring of my new body.

After my fake death, the hostile card emperors did not escape in their Water masks. Instead, they waited to double-check if their task was complete. I admired the diligence of my assassins. While I hated the guts of my guards, these fookers did not even bother to look for the escaping enemy. Instead, they were fighting among themselves to escape Anna’s wrath. Forget revenge, they did not even bother to pretend to be sad or mourn my death

And to top that off, the Clown mask tried to steal my grimoire to get her hands on the false relic. Forcing me to revive myself faster than I planned. Thankfully, the enemy had left. Otherwise, my plan would fall apart at the last second. From this experience, I understood the meaning of the advice to be careful of whom you surround yourself with.
