Having understood what the core spirit sought from him, Wyatt set his plan into motion. "I understand this was all a misunderstanding, but that doesn't change the fact that you attacked us first. However, it doesn't warrant a fight to the death over a misunderstanding. So, if you want me to stop attacking you, you'll have to do something for me."

"Okay, I'll do anything," the core spirit agreed without hesitation, not even pausing to learn the condition. It was simply relieved that the agonizing pain would finally stop and that Wyatt was willing to forgive it. Since it was getting everything it wanted, the spirit didn't care about the price it was paying.

Few in the myriad realm were capable of locating the core spirit on the spiritual plane, let alone launching an effective attack against it. So, it wouldn't be surprising if the spirit had little understanding of pain-or if Wyatt attacking it was its first experience of it altogether. Judging by its low tolerance to pain, both scenarios seemed likely. Wyatt too would have been helpless against an enemy like this if not for his array of abilities with unique prowess which would be coveted anywhere in the myriad realms. For most mortals, a being like the celestial core spirit was practically a G.o.d. Even many card demiG.o.ds and similar level ent.i.ties across the myriad realms shared this perspective. Celestials were unmatched, so it was no surprise that the celestial array formation core's spirit, as a formidable celestial array formation, lacked predators in the realms and was unfamiliar with pain. Especially considering it could lock and hid itself from the myriad realms. The defensive sh.e.l.l formed by its six planetary rings were no joke either.

However, agreeing to anything just to avoid pain was unlike a celestial. Yet, the core spirit did so was because it had another strong reason. The another big reason for the core spirit's swift decision was its desperation for kins.h.i.+p. Being a unique celestial array formation core spirit meant it was alone in a vast realm where even the most wicked beings could find friends or companions. So, when it found someone it believed was similar to it, it wasn't surprising that it was willing to agree to anything to get to know them and become close to them, even if the kins.h.i.+p was brief or merely an illusion. The spirit just wanted to experience it.

"Good. I want you to stop resisting my plague," Wyatt commanded, ordering his world-devouring blood plague to halt its attack on the celestial array formation core and to start fusing with it using the effect it gained from his primordial calamity daughter gem.

With his current grimoire grade, Wyatt knew it was impossible to subdue the celestial array formation spirit with the calamity daughter gem alone. Even if his grimoire were diamond-grade, the calamity daughter gem would still have no effect on celestials as the World Calamity Tree could devour celestials, but it couldn't subdue them with its calamity daughter seeds.

Despite knowing this Wyatt ordered his plague to fuse the core using the fect of the primordial calamity daughter gem because his daughter gem had been baptized with primordial energy, it had evolved into the primordial calamity daughter gem, significantly enhancing its strength and capabilities.

With his current power, using the primordial calamity daughter gem to subdue the celestial core spirit was possible if he could break past the core's outer sh.e.l.l and reach its center where the spirit was housed. Still, there was a chance the spirit's will might resist even his enhanced daughter gem's control. That was to say while it wasn't a absolute effect like it was previously, the primordial calamity daughter gem still offered Wyatt a viable option for subduing celestials. For this reason, he asked the core spirit to stop resisting his plague's fusion with it.

If the core spirit willingly allowed the fusion, Wyatt's primordial calamity daughter gem would have a one hundred percent chance of subduing it. In other words, the cost Wyatt was asking of the celestial array formation spirit was its freedom. "Alright," the core spirit agreed, willingly allowing Wyatt's world-devouring blood plague to fuse with its body, unaware of the true price it was paying to stop the attack and gain Wyatt's forgiveness-and perhaps even his friends.h.i.+p.

The red mist covering the celestial core fused with it over time, leaving behind a single primordial calamity soul gem plague cell, which multiplied to grow Wyatt's spiritual body on the spiritual plane. As the plague cells fused with the core, they began to heal the previous damage they had caused to the core. Moved by this, the core spirit felt rea.s.sured and had no doubts about allowing Wyatt's plague cells to fuse with it, not that it had any to begin with.

In its desperation to feel kins.h.i.+p with Wyatt, it hadn't doubted him even slightly, and now, seeing Wyatt healing it, the core spirit felt it had made the right choice. Overwhelmed with emotion, it wondered if this was the kins.h.i.+p it had yearned for all along, and thought that, if so, it was worth waiting an eternity to experience it. When the plague cells had finally fused with the celestial array formation core through the effect of the primordial calamity daughter gem, Wyatt made a surprising discovery: the core spirit automatically received partner-level authority instead of a servant-level authority. He attempted to reduce its authority level, only to fail repeatedly.

Wyatt wracked his brain, trying to figure out why he couldn't reduce the celestial core spirit's authority level below partner tier as his primordial calamity daughter gem. He wondered if it was because the primordial calamity daughter gem's effect simply

wasn't strong enough. This was the only reason he could think of at present.

While this wasn't the outcome he had hoped for, he could only console himself, thinking that this level of control was better than nothing. As, for the moment, it a.s.sured that the celestial array formation core's spirit would not be able to turn on him even if he were to return to his original realm.
