Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

A small bud started to grow one branch of an elder druid. It slowly matured and blossomed into a dark green flower. All this growth and metamorphosis was happening fast in a matter of seconds, making it hard for me to keep up with every change in the soul pathways and arrangement. Therefore, I kept my soul pupils activated, and ask Hive AI to recorded, everything soul pupils watched.

There was a reason behind the fast growth in the flower of the elder druid, that is, to create a fairy guard in a matter of a second to protect their mistress. During combat, victory can be decided in a few seconds. Therefore the birth of the fairy guards needed to be instantly and born ready for the fight.

The fully bloomed dark green colored flower morphed into a dark green fruit which slowly grew bigger and bigger, from the size of a Lemon to a watermelon to the size of a Jackfruit. The fruit finally stopped growing once it reached 2.1 meters and 270 pounds in weight.

Soon the enormous dark green fruit began to crack, revealing a green-colored humanoid within the fruit's shell, like a chick breaking free from its eggshell. It did not take long for the green humanoid to break free from the casing of the fruit and descend on the warehouse floor. Upon scrutiny, the green figure turned out to be an orc wearing attire made up of leaves covering its private parts.

"No wonder," I muttered, realizing that this time the elder druid did not produce an elvish-like humanoid called fairy guard but a green Orc.

I had my doubts when I saw the bud that grew on the elder druids' branch mature into a dark green flower and transform into a green fruit. I remember during the tournament, the bud from the elder druid grew into a cream color flower that developed into a caucasian fruit. One thing became clear to me that the dark green flowers produced Orcs, and cream-color flowers produced Elvish humanoids. I did not know that Vivan's forbidden garden origin card could create different types of fairy guards.

"Vivian, I didn't know you could also produce Orc-ish fairy guards. Why did you not use them in the tournament instead of the elvish fairy guards? Don't get me wrong, you would have lost to me anyway, but these guys would have posed more of a challenge to me." I asked Vivian, wondering why she did not use orc fairy guards during the tournament against me instead of elf fairy guards. Did she underestimate me? If yes, she paid the price worse than death.

"Master Wyatt, I didn't use them in the tournament because, at that time, my origin could not produce Orc-ish fairy guards," Vivian answered, keeping it short and not explaining what changed for her origin card to be able to produce Orc-ish fairy guards now.

"Miss Vivian, that was amazing. Your origin card is fantastic! I saw it in the tournament recordings, but it is more miraculous in person." Kane couldn't help but yell in amazement seeing a monster tree produce an orc similar to an average tree growing a fruit instantly.

"I know." Replied aloof Vivian.

"Could you give more details on why your origin card can produce Orc-ish fairy guards now? What changed?" Seeing Vivian was not the talkative type, I stressed for more information.

"It is because of the blood rule meaning I have comprehended. Using it together with my origin card allows me to produce any monster as my fairy guard, not just elf or orc type fairy guards." Vivian announced. I thought she would give more details about her blood rule meaning and how it influences her origin card after a pause, but she didn't. I was irritated by her short answers. She wasn't this tight-lipped while fighting against me in the tournament. Heck! She spilled everything about the Circle and the local leader's arrangement to get me killed during the tournament to win the favour of the heatsend royal family. I did not notice such personality changes in other calamity daughter gems.

"Awesome! Miss Vivian, you already forged your ego gem and comprehended a rule! You are a genius. Even in the capital, there are few people your age to achieve such a feat." Kane sang Vivian's praise. I was starting to doubt that this kid was my fan or Vivian's? I get that you are a virgin, but buddy, you're being too obvious and trying too hard. Get a grip.

"I see," Vivian responded to Kane's shower of praise with two syllables disinterestedly.

"..." Vivian's coldness towards him only made Kane worship her beauty more. It appears that if this continued, he would be enthralled in her beauty to the point of no return. Now I understood why simps were mostly virgins.

"Vivian, blood cloning should be the blood rule meaning that you comprehended, right? How does it work, and how does it influence your origin card?" When I used Hive AI to check if any of my calamity daughter gems had comprehended a practical blood rule meaning, I categorized blood cloning with other blood rule meanings with no combat or practical use, considering it an average clone type meaning. But turns out blood cloning has more to it than that. If my memory serves correctly, Vivan has a Super Rare level understanding of blood clone meaning of blood rule and a Rare level blood clone rune of blood rule.

It seems I was too hasty in categorizing the blood rules' meanings comprehended by my calamity daughter gems. I need to personally interview each of them about the blood rule meaning they learned, meaning uses, and if they influenced them in a particular way. This is imperative to increase the strength and understand the power of my calamity daughter gems. The better I know my subordinates, the better I can make use of them and, in a way, increase my external power.
