Hive AI is an AI program with the ability to create slave AI’s, these AI’s share their knowledge with one another, producing a collective intelligence network. Making it easier for Master AI to monitor, control and govern all the slave AI’s. Not to mention how efficient these AI’s have gotten ever since they were updated with the Insight forecast program.

So now I do not have to install a slave AI program into every mutated soul or calamity daughter cores created in the future. Worthy of the miracles of the baptism. Just imagining monitoring and governing hundreds of slave conciseness and hundreds of daughter core slaves I felt chills. Who cares about loyalty when you can get slaves. It was okay for me to enslave my duplicate consciousnesses but enslaving other people with the calamity daughter core this ability had to be used limitedly and covertly because once the word gets out that I can enslave people then one can only imagine the repercussions that followed.

Soul echolocation, the modified version of echolocation. This ability is quite similar to echolocation but the soul pupil’s principles swallowed by the Calamity human core has enhanced its ability to hear soul pathway frequencies to the point where the mental strength consumed and stress involved are negligible. Here the mouth is not required to emit certain frequencies to hear soul pathways in the nearby area but to increase the range of the echolocation you can use the mouth to emit frequencies that will rebound back to the ear and inform about the presence, dimensions and other information about the soul pathway from a further distance.

I tried the soul echolocation ability right away since it was a sensory and detection type ability, this skill will not cause any commotion and disturb my hosts. The soul echolocation was a different experience compared to the soul pupils, hearing and watching are two different things but once I activated soul echolocation I felt a different connection to the world surrounding me than the usual one and the frequency emitted by the world and the objects in them were numerous and listening to these frequencies made these inanimate objects seem more vivid, it’s as if I can see them through my ears. Giving me enough confidence to create cards with my eyes closed.

Both soul pupils and soul echolocation have their advantages but for card creation, I would still choose soul pupils as we humans are dependent on our eyes more than ears and suddenly switching to ears as the main sensory input would just send me back millions of evolutionary years even though my soul pathways of ear and mouth were modified and enhanced to perform more than what they were meant to be. I am not saying that echolocation is not as good as soul pupils but as a human who used to see, I prefer to see my soul pathways rather than listen to them.

Then why add this ability to the card, I added this ability to differentiate different unknown and unidentified soul pathways in a soul core based on the frequency they emit. Differentiating unknown and unidentified soul pathways in a soul core by soul pupils is taxing as they often require sharper concentration and presence of mind but echolocation doesn’t as it is it’s the ability to differentiate and identify different soul pathways based on the frequency they emit.

After exploring the soul echolocation and all its wonderful applications I focused on Soul energy manipulation, as mentioned I was able to absorb, store and emit soul energy in large quantities in my flesh and blood leading to lesser soul energy loss and consumption in the restructuring and transforming abilities of the calamity soul core.

Not to mention now thanks to soul energy manipulation I can weaponize the soul energy within me to enhance my body strength and defence or directly fire soul energy projectiles without having to worry about running out of soul energy. It was fun I was able to materialise soul energy and shape them according to my imagination but more sophisticated design coated more mental strength and it required a high level of soul energy control which was nothing to me thanks to my Hive AI and multiple slave mental strengths.

Afterwards, I decided to look into the creation of calamity daughter core and check out how it worked. To my surprise, I can produce the calamity daughter core in the form of a core or a card through my grimoire card creation page. If a core then it can directly fuse with a host through oral ingestion and occupy an origin card slot of the subject ingested with it. But in the card form, it has to be directly placed on the empty origin card slot of the subject to equip it.

Calamity daughter core also had the ability Immortal Core – it can also nourish and protect the soul of the subject. As long as the core is not destroyed the subject is not dead. But here it was more like the subject’s soul is trapped in the calamity daughter core while being dominated, monitored and governed by slave AI.

The calamity daughter core can also give the subjects integrated with it a few of the abilities from the parent core based on the authority of the daughter core created.

Authority of Daughter Core,

1.Slave

2.Servant

3.Subordinate

4.Right/Left Arm

5. Partner

These authorities of the dungeon daughter core not only show the priority of how many abilities and power can be incorporated in the calamity daughter core but also shows the level of freedom I have given them.

Thanks to the imprisonment of daughter core and the slave AI I can turn any or every subject with daughter core into a mindless slave and order him to do anything I wish. With this authority system, I can thoroughly control how much freedom to be given the subjects based on how much I trust them.

The calamity daughter cores were all set ready to be used once created, all they required was a conscious soul to imprison within their core body and fulfil their purpose. I can use calamity daughter on both card apprentice and monsters. The card form of the calamity daughter core was for the card apprentice and the core form was for the monsters to ingest it. Either way, I could control both of them using the slave AI.

As I was thinking about the calamity daughter core and its taboo abilities a sudden thought stuck to my head, this idea was so ingenious that it made me stand on my feet in excitement and I couldn’t wait to experiment it …
