　　"Mr. Cole, are you saying that you cannot procure the ingredients stated by master Wyatt for the creation of my card?" Asong asked Cole. 

　　"No, I can but not at the moment's notice, I need time," Cole answered. 

　　"Well, how much time?" Asong enquired Cole.

　　"Two or three days," answered Cole honestly, knowing he had lost the opportunity to make a killing by procuring these ingredients for the creation of Asong's origin card. 

　　"Mr. Cole, you know that I don't have that kind of time. Are you sure there is no other way?" Asong asked Cole, giving him a lean way out of courtesy for his service so far. 

　　"It pains me to say this but I really cannot procure those ingredients as of now," Cole answered, only he know how much his heart was aching over the lost commission of these ingredients. 

　　"Then, please forward me the list of ingredients, I will have my people get them." Upon Asong's request, Cole shared the list of ingredients in Asong's grimoire which she shared with her help, and receiving a reply from her help Asong informed me, "The ingredients will be here in an hour." 

　　"You must be feeling pretty good flexing your wealth and power in front of your juniors," I commented. 

　　"Yeah, I worked too damn hard to order around these arrogant semi-demigods." Asong did not shy away from my comments and seemed proud about it. I could only think, 'Ordering around semi-demigods as a card soldier is pretty awesome.' unlike Aba who had a demigod father, and Anna who had 4 demigod's in her immediate family, Asong was a daughter of a card emperor belonging to a family protected by a semi-demigod ancestor who had a foot in his grave. So, yeah what Asong had achieved was indeed impressive.

　　Susan had arrived from Fine Gold with the other ingredients, "Is this all? Do you need anything else?" 

　　"No, this should be enough," I said going through the ingredients bought by Susan.

　　Now that I had half the ingredients required for the creation of the Asong's origin card I wanted to start the creation process and get the other ingredients as they arrive but then only 20 mins remained for Asong's stipulated time for the arrival of the ingredients so I thought I might as well wait and go through the plan I had for Asong's card. 

　　Asong was not a fighter but a scholar, a sick scholar at that. Her expiry date was nearing if the supreme leader's henchmen had not killed her she would have soon met a natural death. Usually, at the end of their life, people try to complete something of importance. But Asong spent the last days of her life fighting to get the government to upgrade the array formations protecting the cities in the central region. Which was totally out of her routine, usually, she would fight for reforms involving the unrepresented and minorities, but in the last few days of her life, she went all-in to force the government to upgrade the array formations protecting the cities. The only reason Asong was so out of character is maybe she knew, knew that in near future something was going to go down. I have no idea what Asong knew and how much she knew but it was clear that with her death she had passed on her duties to Aba, the little ignorant and pampered girl today was going to be the heroic figure who was going to shoulder the weight of the entire humanity in near future. 

　　Now that I know how, why and by whom Asong was going to die, I decided to intervene, not personally but by creating an overpowered origin card for Asong. There were two important reasons why I had decided to intervene in Asongs future and as for the butterfly effect, it was already fucked with my presence. Thanks to me, the Matron and Plaw clan along with their plans for the southern and northern regions were exposed to the Heatsend Royal family. I don't know if the southern royal family stands a chance against Matron's brainwashed Paw clan but the future the Clown Mask had seen is no longer possible, this timeline had deviated from the one Clown mask saw long ago, and there is no fixing it. 

　　The reason why I planned to save Asong was that I had a feeling that if Asong was alive she was to going to make the Supreme leader's plan for overthrowing the government a lot harder. And the other reason was that in three months I will be moving to the central region where the southern royal family's authority reach was questionable so for a carefree university life having a friend like Asong was a must. 

　　The problem was not saving Asong, but helping her live longer and solidifying her seat in the government. Asong had people's support what she lacked was power, considering her clogged-up soul pathways that was going to be challenging. It was also the reason why just creating a weapon of mass destruction for Asong wasn't going to cut it. 

　　If Asong was stuck in the card soldier realm for the rest of her life because of her condition no matter how overpowered the origin card I create for her it will be of no use as the battery powering it, Asong's realm, was not enough. Therefore instead of creating a combat-type card, I decided to create a support type of card that would be the best fit for a politician like Asong and help with her condition.
