“This… how do I sow the variant Ironwood seed in me?” Kane asked, holding the variant Ironwood seed in his hand.
“Swallow it!” I answered.
“I won’t become pregnant, will I?” The seed had already instructed Kane regarding how to sow it in his body, but Kane didn’t listen to its instructions fearing he would grow pregnant with his summons.
“Whoa! Impregnation will be a good name for this germination method of your origin card.” I teased Kane.
“No, I no longer want to use the first method to germinate my seed. Let’s go with the third method. I don’t care how many soul jades are devoured by the third method, I am willing to pay the price, as long as I don’t get to be impregnated by my origin card.” My words gave Kane a good scarce, and he frantically opposed using the first method to germinate his origin card.
“Kane, calm down. I was kidding.” Learning that I was teasing Kane, all the eyes in the room looked at me. If their gazes spoke, they would be asking, ‘what’s wrong with you? That wasn’t funny.’
“Master Wyatt, will I or won’t I be pregnant if I use the first method of seed germination.” Asked Kane with his eyes red while his upper teeth bit on his lower lips.
“No, you won’t get pregnant. So don’t be a baby and get started already.” I answered, denying Kane’s fears.
“Are you lying to console me?” Asked Kane. Clearly, the boy would instead give up on his revenge than become pregnant.
“What reason do I have to do that? Kane, you came here hungry for power. Right now, I am serving it to you, so why are you hesitating? Swallow it or shove it down your throat. Do what needs to be done, and your hunger for power will be met. Remember, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” I encouraged Kane to swallow the variant ironwood seed to germinate it using his vitality and soul energy. I had motives for encouraging him to opt for the first method to germinate his origin. How can a card apprentice grow a tree monster using his body as a vessel? I wanted to record this using my soul pupils and Hive AI for my future references.
“Okay, for power and vengeance! Here goes nothing, *gulp*.” Resolving himself, Kane finally swallowed the seed, hoping that his worries were for nothing and his Idols words were valid.
“Fuck! You really swallowed the seed believing his words, you blind fool.” Seeing Kane gulp the seed despite knowing the chances of it making him pregnant with a tree monster, Corey couldn’t help but blurt in dismay. She was shocked by Kane’s blind trust in her boss.
“Shut… Ahh! Arh!” Kane wanted to retort Corey’s words, but he began grunting in pain, holding his belly.
“Now, face the consequences of trusting a charlatan.” Seeing Kane groan in pain, holding his stomach, Corey didn’t miss the opportunity to mock him for blindly trusting her boss.
“Corey, shut up. Mr. Kane, are you okay?” Rimparmanding Corey for her comments, Susan rushed to Kane in concern. Then turning to the card boutique boss, she asked, “Wyatt, what’s going on? Do something. He seems to be in a lot of pain.”
“This much pain is normal. But he doesn’t need to be conscious during this process. The seed’s sentience will take care of everything as long as he keeps providing enough soul energy for it to mature.” Saying that I offered Kane an option whether he wanted to be unconscious during this ordeal.
“No, I can endure. I want to be there when she enters this world.” Kane spoke resolutely. I could see a firm resolve in his eyes.
“If I didn’t know the dirty things you planned on using her for. I would have commended your perseverance.” Corey commented, looking at Kane, who could barely keep himself from falling unconscious due to the exuberant pain.
“…” Kane suddenly stopped groaning in pain and, looking at me, he said, ” I don’t feel pain anymore. Where is she? How is she doing? ” As Kane questioned, he mentally received answers to all those questions from the variant seed he swallowed. Then he hurriedly removed his shirt only to see a small flower bud growing out of his belly button.
“Gross!” Yelled Corey, but she continued to look at the blood-red flower bud sticking out of Kane’s navel region.
“What is it saying?” I asked Kane. Knowing that he could communicate with the sentience of the blood-red flower bud.
“It says it requires a lot of soul energy to grow, which I cannot provide due to my low realm.” Kane narrated what the flower bud told him.
“Didn’t I lend you those pills for this particular reason? Now use them. I have lots of them on me. If you require extra, ask me.” I assured Kane that even if his realm was insufficient to help the flower mature, he could always rely on the silver milk pills that I gave him.
“Yes, thank you master Wyatt.” Thanking me, Kane started to take the silver milk pills to help his flower mature.
I have been using my soul pupils and Hive AI to record the soul pathway changes in Kane from the moment he swallowed the variant Ironwood seed. These were important research materials people would kill for. This would help me further broaden my horizons regarding the human body and how I can use it to my advantage.
Kane felt unimaginable pain after swallowing the seed because it laid roots in his flesh and grew out of his belly button as a flower bud after consuming more than three-quarters of soul energy in his body. This shows that the seed was aware enough to leave behind some soul energy for its owner. Otherwise, it could have sucked Kane dry of his soul energy, but it didn’t. Showcasing its intelligence and care for its host.
