Gathering his courage Elliott finally laid on the soul scissors operating bed, connecting the apparatus to Elliott and monitoring that his stats are at optimum condition, I activated my soul pupils.
With my soul pupils, I found Elliott’s soul. It was the origin and end of all the soul pathways in his entire body, the soul was this huge mass of bright light in which a mini Elliott laid peacefully.
The light blue threads originated from the mini Elliott spreading throughout the body and returned to merge with it again, these threads were the soul pathways.
The other card creationist use soul splitting usually to make Clone cards, Doppelganger cards, Horcruxes cards or curse cards. But I was using it to make a false soul core for Elliott.
Now that I had located the soul I had to cut and split it in two in the ratio of 1:10. The part of the soul I will be cutting is not just any part but the part of the soul over which Elliott has active control.
Since Elliott had suppressed his realm to the card scholar realm, his active soul control percentage is 29%. Now I had to split this 29% into the ratio of 1:10, so I had to cut 2.9% rounding off to 3% of the actively controlled soul.
It was easy to differentiate the actively controlled soul from the normal soul as the actively controlled soul is brighter than the normal soul.
After splitting the actively controlled soul according to the ratio, I extracted the smaller soul and incubated it in the soul incubator to nature and to maintain it in optimum conditions until I completed the other part of the card.
Though this procedure seemed easy and clean it was not, splitting a person’s soul is a taboo art and one can damage their soul trying to do so and enter a vegetative state.
Not to mention the pain the soul undergoing the procedure will be facing, if not for the soul-numbing gases the patient is put under the patient would lose himself to the trauma and pain.
Disconnecting the soul scissors apparatus, waking up Elliott I pass him a soul jade to recover the lost part of his active soul control.
The reason I split the soul which is under Elliott’s active control because he could easily regenerate it with enough time and soul power. Thanks to the soul jade, Elliott could now recover his lost soul within minutes.
Once Elliott had recovered I formed a party of two with him and equipped Gemini and Para share cards. Placing the ingredients on the creation page and closing my eyes to concentrate I begin the card creation.
First I take Elliott’s fate ingredient Clear Scale Earthworm core and origin core to fuse them to form a normal-sized core with both the abilities of a Clear Scale Earthworm and origin core.
Earthworm’s notable abilities are to borrow through the ground, its elastic and highly resilient physic with full-body regeneration function.
Clear Scale Earthworm is an evolved variant of the normal earthworm. Be it size or abilities the Clear Scale Earthworm is nothing but a normal earthworm if not for its special clear scales.
According to popular belief, earthworms don’t just dig tunnels into the soil using their body but they do so by eating up the soil in front of them.
After extracting the necessary nutrients from ingested soil the soil is then excreted with mucus to caste burrow walls. These casted tunnels are not permanent and don’t last long, their lifespan depends on the various species of earthworms.
The Clear Scale Earthworms like normal earthworms also digs tunnels not just in soil but any normal form of matter. But unlike normal earthworms, clear scale earthworms do not have a mouth to eat soil or any form of matter in front of them.
Instead, their clear scales fuses and ingests anything that it touches—gases, liquids, solids, or even energy sources to extract nutrition and duplicate the properties of that particular matter.
Making these clear scale earthworms a very difficult infestation to fight with. Because of their ability, they are usually attracted to eat up special metals and ores with soul energy which is an expensive habit to cultivate. But this also makes them easier to trace as they leave a trail of excrement in their path.
To protect important, expensive materials and machines from these worms they are usually laced with diluted soul poison just enough to kill these worms but not enough to harm humans.
Thankfully these clear scale earthworms are small in size samiliar to normal earthworms making their appetite small and enough to notice before they cause any serious damage. And also their core is of a small bead in size.
