Take the blood flow in the human body as an example, if the blood flow had a leak and ended up where it was not supposed to be or it faced a blockage, there would be internal bleeding and blood clotting or a heart attack, in either situation a serious case would end up dead.
The same was true for the energies flowing in the bodies of the card apprentice, if their regular system was disturbed by foreign interference, then these energies would end up being fatal for the card apprentice in serious cases but in normal cases, they would lose their command over these energies and would be completely helpless until they manage to get the energies into harmony or at the least an equilibrium.
This phenomenon was what Ann, General Baylor, and Demigod Backster were facing in their bodies. The reason they were confused about this as Lois having control over the energies they refined for years was that they did not know how Lois was doing it and ended up attributing it as an ability of her physique. In some ways, they were right about it because without her physique Lois could not invade their ego gem or divinity through the channel connecting them to the world. Therefore Ann, Baylor, and Backster never saw it coming. If Lois concentrated enough on one target she could even make it so that the energies in the target’s body ran rampant to the point where the body exploded even before the target knew what happened.
If not for Anna’s field card Damned Arena working on the same principle as Lois’s trick it would have been too late before either Ann, Baylor, or Backster found the trick to what Lois was doing to them.
In the Damned Arena, World’s Will interferes with the energies of everyone present in the arena just enough so that nobody could access their energies and they end up having to rely on their physical prowess, the damned arena card user included. That was the penalty. And if someone were smart enough to figure out this trick then they could close their connection to the world’s will to escape the penalty, good for them however the card user would also be aware of that. Not to mention by closing the connection between them and the world’s will they would lose access to the rule energy and divinity from the world, meaning they would be limited to using the energies already inside their bodies. This was true even for soul energy since the Damned Arena did not have soul energy whatsoever.
At least out here even after closing their connection to the world, Ann, Baylor, and Backster could access soul energy. Which when used with the limited energies in their bodies should be enough to get them the victory.
“Yes, I killed the boy but I am not so sure so could you calculate his fortune?” While Ann, Baylor, and Backster closed their connection to the world and tried to sort out the rampant energies in their body, Agent Lois called one of the agents in her organization asking them to check the fortune of the target to tell if the boy was dead or not. Though she was sure she killed each of the insects in the swarm that the boy’s body morphed into, having learned her lesson, Lois did not celebrate her win but instead decided to make sure the boy was dead.
Though it may look like Agent Lois acted to kill the boy just now, in reality, she had been trying to kill the boy using her physique for a while now but to her surprise, she couldn’t. Agent Lois’s eye allowed her mental intent to travel through the world’s will overlapping with her location in the material world.
While a card apprentice’s will can travel through the channel connecting them to the world to enter the world’s will and comprehend rules, Lois could do more than that thanks to her right eye. She could not only see the flow of rule energies in the world’s will but also see the channels of different card apprentices connecting them to the world’s will. But there was one condition to this, these targeted card apprentices should be within her range in the real world. So if they were within her range in the real world, their channels connecting them to the world’s will would also be within her range in the world’s will. Allowing her will to travel from her channel into the target’s channel and wreak havoc, so much so that the target would die even before he figures out where he was being attacked from.
Agent Lois tried the same on the boy ever since their arrival in sky blossom city. But before she could get to act the boy was surrounded by General Baylor, Colleen, and Backster. So in the World’s will the channel connecting the boy to the world’s will was also surrounded by the channels of Baylor, Colleen, and Backster. And so it got crowded with the arrival of Uri, Anna, and Ann. It took her a while but she was finally able to identify which channels belong to whom and single out the boy’s channel connecting him to the world’s will.
But when her will tried to enter the boy’s channel she was stopped midway by a thin barrier, surprising Lois as she had never experienced something like this before. Putting her astonishment aside Lois decided to finish what she started but no matter how hard she tried her will could not make it past the barrier. This frustrated Lois to high heavens, but she did not give up but tried every single thing she could think of but she was still unable to get past the barrier or destroy it.
Fed up, Lois finally gave up and then looked at the boy only to find that the boy was looking at her with a smirk on his face. When their eyes met Lois suddenly felt that the boy could see through her every move. But she could not help wondering why the boy did not tell this to his protectors. Ignoring that thought, Lois decided to kill the boy the old-fashioned way.
