"Trust me on this one, the faction is not big on how we do things as long as we achieve the expected result. Once we control the dwarf, everything else will become simpler," Muth Diya persuaded Handsome Fox. 

"I don't know, I have just joined the faction. But if you agree to take full responsibility I will do as you say," Handsome Fox had no problem with playing fast and loose with rules, rather he too was pissed at Ezra and could not wait to put the puny dwarf in his place. 

Handsome Fox would have agreed with Muth Diya the first time he asked him but he had to satisfy his sadistic urges by having the mighty Devil Merchant Muth Diya from the great Dark Realm plead with him. This zebra face devil, has been haughty ever since they met. Even when they were in the card world and the devil was being suppressed by the world's will it continued to act arrogant and look down on him. 

Seeing the devil plead with him for his cooperation, Handsome Fox felt satisfied. He did not understand what the devil had to make it feel superior and that it was better than him when it came to his world and needed his help. However, He did not go overboard because he was new to the faction and his standing was still very shaky considering that the faction planned to invade his home world next. Many have questioned his loyalty despite his proving to them that his loyalty lay in himself by helping them procure the rights to the Card World. 

"Okay, I will take full responsibility," Muth Diya agreed with Handsome Fox though he had a regular expression on his face in his mind he was enraged with Handsome Fox for not agreeing with him right away. Though he did not suspect that Handsome Fox doing it on purpose he could not stomach the fact that the stupid native did not do as he asked him to and dared to question him instead. 

If not for Muth Diya needing the help of the Handsome Fox to control the Chaos Dwarf Ezra he would not have continued to have conversations with him after finding out that Handsome Fox did not bother to receive him in person and instead was using an undead incarnation with a pseudonym. Be it Ezra or Handsome Fox, Muth Diya was not a fan of either of them if not for his hands being tied by the circumstances he would have shown both of them their places. For now, he will settle with completing his mission by controlling Ezra, then he can slowly handle Handsome Fox. 

"Good, I am on board with your crazy idea then. Tell me what I need to do," Handsome asked.

"First, we need to arrange an array formation to stop him from using the inter-realm travel function of the devil merchant code to escape from this world. Once he is cut off from the devil merchant code, let us see if he will continue to act arrogant," Muth Diya instructed.

"Is that possible? To cut off a demon merchant's access to the devil merchant code?" Handsome Fox asked wondering if Muth Diya really had an array that would go against the mighty Devil Merchant Code that was suspected to be a transcendent-level being. 

"No, we are not cutting off his access to the devil merchant code. We are making it so that he will not be able to use its inter-realm travel function within this area. The array I am speaking of will scrabble the space surrounding this area to a point where even the mighty devil merchant code will not be able to use its function to teleport Ezra out of her. Don't worry as that is all we need, this way we do not have to worry about Ezra escaping using the devil merchant code's function when we move against him," Muth Diya explained, though he could not help but wonder how amazing it would be if he had an array that would help him cut off the devil/demon merchant's connection to the devil merchant code. 

"Yeah, but I don't think we should underestimate Ezra. He was able to tell I was an incarnation but not the original instantly with a single glance. Not to mention from the looks of it, he did not seem to be affected much by the card world's will suppression. With the confidence he presented himself with, I believe he must have other tricks up his sleeve. I do not think his elder who was willing to let him share his executive VVIP member privileges will send him with any form of assurance," Handsome though hated Ezra he did not let it cloud his judgment and reminded Muth Diya that Ezra was not your come demon master. They need to be careful when they try to apprehend him. 

"You are right, he definitely has a strong protection on him otherwise no matter how lofty a Chaos Dwarf was they would not be stupid enough to provoke two devil realm entities. We indeed need to be cautious when we approach him," Muth Diya agreed with Handsome Fox's evaluation of Ezra. 

"As for the rest, we follow the original plan right?" 

"Yes, once we control him. Then we approach his elder." 

…

As Wyatt was contemplating how he should proceed further once Cuth Diya was done forging his title demon core, he felt an intimidating shockwave of malice emitted from the direction of Cuth Diya. Wyatt turned to observe and found that Cuth Diya's body was floating above the stone platform, covered in a blinding sunshine radiance as his physical body underwent a massive transformation. The zebra stripes across his body were slowly vanishing as he shed his stag horns and cow tail, even his hoofs were undergoing a transformation. He was losing all his prominent features that signified him as a part of the Diya tribe.
