Right now, I have 78 array cores in front of me. Each one of them is a near-perfect array core with zero flaws. All I need is a bit of mental strength, expert knowledge of the said array, and nature's soul pathways. I could use the 78 cores to set up 78 different arrays in a matter of two or three hours.

But that wasn't what I was after. Right now, I wanted to join all these 78 different array cores into a single core. Not to be mistaken with the superimposing of two or more arrays, a hybrid array.

Hybrid Arrays that's the topic on which Lorenzo's second set of study materials dwelled. I thought it would contain how to make a field or trap card, but it didn't. All it spoke about was Hybrid Arrays.

Hybrid Array formation is a complicated concept for array masters because it involves the superposition of two or more arrays. Arranging a single array is already hectic. Imagine superimposing two or more arrays in such a way that you get a single array with the effects of multiple arrays or the effect of each array complimenting each other to get a higher output. A highly complex concept indeed, but not for me.

It was complex because the array master not only needed to calculate the surrounding nature's soul pathway but also the impact of having a single soul pathway do two or more chores to maintain the array. If the soul pathway becomes unstable, then the whole array will implode.

But this problem was of little difficulty for me because I could see the soul pathways with my eyes and watch how the soul pathways reacted to the overlapping of the arrays and whether they could handle the heavy workload or not. Or would I need more soul power to stabilize the soul pathways? Since I can see the problem, I could address it. But other array masters could not see it. They had to be precise with their calculations and empower the soul pathways with soul energy before they became unstable and exploded.

The temporary cleansing array formation I set up in wager against Lorenzo was a simple superimposed array. It superimposed two arrays, the usual holy light array and the other array created to control the airflow and moisture. Together they formed the cleansing array formation.

'Did old Lorenzo give me the study materials on the superimposition of Array because he saw me create a basic superimposed array formation without the knowledge of it?' If yes, then I guess he must have doubts about my origin card aura sight and whether they help me sense the soul pathways better than the naked eyes, which are blind to soul pathways. Should I be worried about it? I don't know. But since we are in a mutual partnership, for now, I should be safe.

Not worrying about what I could not control, I focused my attention on creating a versatile array formation core. Now there were two goals of Versatile array formation I needed to achieve.

1. It should allow me to arrange the array formation of any one of the 78 array cores used in its creation at my will.

2. It should allow me to superimpose the two or more arrays.

Adding 78 array cores to a single core was not going to be easy. The core would be cluttered with soul pathways. It would be difficult to determine which set of soul pathway arrangements belongs to which of the 78 arrays. During the operation, if the soul power were leaked to any of the other soul pathways, the arranged array formation would collapse.

There is no way that 78 separate soul pathway arrangements of 78 different array formations could be placed in a single core without it blowing up on my face. To overcome this problem, I decided to create a system, a system similar to a human body. The human body has so many organs that constitute different human body systems. All of them work in harmony and help each other with their functions. If not, they don't hinder each other.

So to create a versatile array formation core, I was going to make a system mimicking the human body. My approach would have 78 different organs which would come together from various small systems that would then together form a versatile array formation.

This wasn't going to be easy, but it was possible with the help of the hybrid array concepts. I need to sort out the 78 array formation based on their compatibility to form the hybrid arrays. These hybrid arrays would be small individual systems. Then these small individual systems would together for a one large working system that would be incorporated into a core.

The idea was good and all, but it required a lot of work. I needed to find the compatible arrays and form a hybrid array with them together. Then arrange these hybrid arrays together such that even though they don't compliment each other's functions. They will not hinder each other. This wasn't easy because I would have to check how each array reacted to each other individually. Then the hybrid arrays would be individually assessed for their reaction in the company of different hybrid arrays. It was like planning a seating arrangement for a marriage.

All this process was tedious and required a lot of planning and calculations. Not something I could handle individually. I could, but it would take a lot of time, weeks, or even months, but I could shorten the time required with the help of the Hive AI and three slave consciousness.

There were hundreds of possibilities to create a system void of conflict between them. But not all of them were optimal or efficient. I had to have the Hive AI run simulations of all these possibilities and weeb out the ones with less efficiency and stability factor. And find the one option that is the most stable and efficient.
