The patriot act card was the reason why the semi-demigods from the Circle and the paw clan were able to hide their presence from the array formation covering the southern region and roam around freely in its cities. This card was a universal cheat code for the big five array formations. With it, they did not have to worry about their presence in the southern region and location being revealed to the southern royal family by the array formation. Not only that they were immune to many of the restrictions of the array formation. Meaning with this card the semi-demigods from the circle could easily bypass heaven’s sanction card activated by Agatha as it was a part of the array formation covering the southern region.
Yet the enemy semi-demigods chose not to use this card to escape Heaven’s sanction because they did not want to reveal any hint that they had equipped the patriot act card. As this card was only available to the Highly decorated officers of the government and the talented heirs of the royal families. So it would be alarming for both the government and the four royal families to learn that the semi-demigods from the Circle used a card with similar properties to the Patriot act card. Therefore, even if it was possible for them to escape the trap of heaven’s sanction, they chose not to. This way they could throw any suspicion of the government and the four royal families them using the patriot act card.
The Patriot Act card was one of the pillars of trust between the four royal families and the government. Each one of them chose to sacrifice access to the first line of defense of their region array formation covering it to others to show that they were not going to rebel, separate themself from the current government and declare themselves as an independent monarchy. Or try to take over the other regions or the government itself. The existence of this card signified a sense of balance and trust between the five governing bodies.
Despite the card giving the user almost full immunity to the big five arrays, it restricted them from using teleportation cards in the foreign region because if powerful entities like semi-demigods and demigods could use teleportation within the big five array formation, then the point of the array formation would become totally moot as they could easily assassinate important figures and get away with it without anybody noticing them.
The users of this card were only restricted from using teleportation cards and not the pre-arranged teleportation arrays as the construction of an array took time and left behind too much evidence. Not to mention the natural limitation of the big five array formation the high-level card apprentice could teleport into the array but not out of the array but their teleportation would be tracked and the related authorities would be alerted to take immediate action.
The significance of the patriot act card was too high for the world to know that they were being used by the semi-demigods of the Circle who had nothing to do with their five governing bodies- the four royal families and the government. This would definitely put the Circle at top of the list of these five governing bodies. This was a lot of attention for an organization hatching plans to overthrow the government sometime in the future. Therefore, the semi-demigods of the circle put up an act that they were trapped in heaven’s sanction activated by Agatha.
The answer to the question of how the circle and the paw clan managed to get their hands on the patriot act cards was very obvious, both of the organizations had their inside men in the high-ranking members of the government or any one of the royal families. With the abilities of the Matron and the Supreme leader, something of this sort was not a big deal. They did not have a problem getting their hands on this card but hid the fact that they had it.
Because of their dilemma, the semi-demigods of the circle did not hesitate to negotiate when the semi-demigods that were supposed to protect the boy showed interest to negotiate with them.
“Release the boy and we will let you go.”
“…”
“If you have any other demands just state them, as long as it doesn’t involve harming the boy, I can promise it to you.”
“We want the boy to hand over the Circle’s sun blossom city branch’s leader’s corpse.”
“Fine, you can have your branch leader’s corpse. Bring forth the boy, let me speak to him.”
Hearing the allied semi-demigods easily agree to their demands the Circle’s demigods were not surprised. As they were pretty confident of their odds. And said, “How do we go about this?”
