Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Celestial Mystic Dimension

"What fuck is that boy waiting for?" Henricks exclaimed in concern seeing that Wyatt wasn't activating his pseudo-natural sunspot array formation even though most of the undead groups were a step away from assembling into small battle array formation. "My goodness, don't scream so close to my ears. Besides, we are in an isolated space, he can't hear you," Ransom said wiggling his ears with his fingers. Then, he explained, "He doesn't have the key ingredient sunfire required to complete the array formation." "Then, why would he set up an array formation that he lacks ingredients for? Isn't he supposed to be a genius? He is dumber than you," Henricks remarked in hysteria wondering how could Wyatt make such a dumb mistake. Henricks wanted to go to assist Wyatt however he was trapped in Ransom's custom space isolation array formation. It was set up for their protection, but Ransom further modified it so Henricks could not use his origin card's ability in it. Turning it into prison for him. Learning this Henricks now knew why Ransom was so cooperative about setting up the array formation. "His plan was never to set up the array formation, he just wanted to create an unstable version of it such that it would blow up, killing all the undead demigods at once. It was a good plan, but he set up the array formation too well. The network of natural nodes is actively trying to consume more of the cursed blood flame, he was feeding them as a replacement for sunfire, in hopes of setting up a stable array formation," based on his observation, Ransom explained what went wrong with Wyatt's plan. Seeing Wyatt was able to fail, Ransom was conflicted. Still, he did not take action, because it was too late, what was done was done. "So, the boy's plan failed, the array formation will not explode?" Henricks asked in distress. Then, he couldn't help but glare at Ransom, if not for this dumbass's stubbornness, he could have helped Wyatt. Together, they could have killed all the undead by now. "No, his plan is still a go, the whole network of natural nodes would blow up once they swallow cursed-blood flame past their limit. It's only a matter of time. Not to mention, the explosion is going to be a lot stronger than expected. But, the question is, who is faster, Wyatt or the Undeads," Ransom said as he glanced at various groups of undead that were close to assembling into a small battle array formation. Considering the versatility and mobility of the battle array formation, once the undead were done, Wyatt would be in huge trouble. "Ransom, let me out. I will defend Wyatt from the undead demigods till he fills up the natural node networks beyond their limit," Henricks demanded, knowing that once the undead assembled into a small battle formation, Wyatt who killed almost half of them would be their target. "No, not happening," Ransom rejected Henricks without hesitation. "Don't tell me you are going to sit by and watch the 'Southern Hope' die at the hands of the undead," Henricks was a little taken aback by Ransom's reply. After all, he believed no matter how stubborn and petty Ransom was he wouldn't just watch Wyatt die at the hands of the undead demigods. But it seems he judged Ransom wrong. "What southern hope? That's just a marketing static my cousin used to manipulate the masses and the boy. Besides, I have my plans," Ransom dismissed Wyatt's title 'Southern Hope' as his cousin's marketing gimmick. He knew better than anyone how manipulative and cunning his cousin was. By labeling Wyatt as the 'Hope of the Southern Region' not only did she permanently tie Wyatt to the Southern Region but also made way for a savior complex in Wyatt's mind such that Wyatt would consider helping people over his profits. The crazy thing was that his cousin's plan worked. Wyatt was giving away VR slime cards to the students and the poor for free. He even made the VR universe very cheap and affordable. Wyatt was known to be a capitalist who quoted insane prices for the cards he created but now he was doing social welfare like giving things for free and making things affordable for everyone. It was like Wyatt had changed overnight. This was why Ransom did not give two shits about the title 'Southern Hope.' It was just his cousin's invisible collar around Wyatt's neck. However, he still planned to protect Wyatt as he was important for the Southern Region's growth and future. Also, earlier when he was modifying the space isolation array formation to overcome Wyatt's celestial rule domain which was dominating the surrounding space he was struggling, he thought he would not be able to set up the modified array before Wyatt activated his pseudo-natural sunspot array formation. However, he still managed to modify the array formation in time because Wyatt eased the influence of his celestial rule domain in their surroundings. This way not only did Ransom manage to set up the custom space isolation barrier in time but also modified it to imprison Henricks. Seeing Wyatt give him a helping hand in a dire situation forgetting all his previous provocations moved Ransom. Regardless of Wyatt's reason his actions touched Ransom who was worried Wyatt would take revenge on him for his previous petty actions. Now that Ransom knew Wyatt was not a petty person like him, his fear for Wyatt morphed into admiration. "Screw you and your plans. The undead are almost done assembling into a small battle array formation. Once they are done with Wyatt, we will be their next target," Henricks tried to persuade Ransom to help Wyatt using fear not knowing that Ransom did not need any convincing to help Wyatt. The latter was just waiting for the perfect timing. "Shut up, old man. I am not letting you out of this space isolation array formation until you take an oath to take me to meet my daughter," Ransom yelled at Henricks to quiet down as nothing he said would get him out of his prison. Being cussed at by Ransom, Henricks looked at him grudgingly. Then, he let out a deep breath, controlling his anger. He did not proceed to argue with Ransom and decided to wait and see what Ransom's plans were. If something were to happen to Wyatt he was going to show Ransom true hell. "Fine, but create a sub-space for me within this space isolation barrier, I don't think I can handle another second of that awful smell coming from your body," Hernicks demands, as in the small space isolation array formation the disgusting smell coming from Ransom's body seemed to accumulate and grow more disgusting. Hernicks felt Ransom's smell would kill him before the undead demigods did. "Sssh, let me focus," Ransom concentrated all his attention on Wyatt, waiting for the perfect time to step in and save Wyatt's life. Listening to Ransom's reply, Henricks continued to grudgingly stare at Ransom but he did not utter a single word as he did not want Ransom to blame him for ruining his plan. After all, he planned to criticize Ransom for failing. He just did not want to give Ransom an excuse to push all the blame onto him. Meanwhile, Wyatt was frantically consuming all his energy to produce a large quantity of cursed blood flame to fill the bottomless appetite of the natural nodes beyond their limit, such that the whole network of the natural nodes that Wyatt created would explode killing all the undead demigods within the mystic domain. However, no matter how much energy Wyatt spent to increase the output of the cursed blood flame he fed to natural nodes, he did not seem to reach the limit of the nodes. Since his plan was taking too long to execute he kept an eye on surrounding undead demigod groups, most of them seemed to be a foot away from assembling into a small battle array formation. Wyatt did not let the panic and fear get to his mind, instead, he single-mindedly focused on feeding his curse-blood flame to the natural nodes, knowing that due to the accumulated energy within them, once the network of the natural nodes were to explode the resulting explosion would be several times higher than his original estimate. Not to mention since this explosion was caused by cursed blood flame energy, the explosion will gain ten times boost from the celestial blood curse domain. Overall the power of the explosion would be so large that Wyatt was expecting it would kill all the undead demigods despite them having assembled into small battle array formation. Still, he needed to be present to watch it happen. In desperation, Wyatt even began to enhance the curse blood flame using his celestial force before feeding it to the network of natural nodes not knowing when the natural nodes would have enough and explode.
