Date: Unspecified

Time: Unspecified

Location: Lil Red Storm Planet, Unspecified

So far, from Dalie's actions and words, it seemed she was clueless about the true effects of Wyatt's Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem on her body. Wyatt found this puzzling since it wasn't the case with his other Daughter Gems. He wondered if she might be suffering from amnesia or some form of cognitive damage. If not, he wanted her fully up to speed on his intentions and ideals, just like all his previous Daughter Gems. He didn't have time to indulge this lonely core spirit every whim.

'Lil bro, is something bothering you?" Dalie asked, noticing Wyatt deep in thought. 'Yes. Can't you feel the changes brought on by fusing with my Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem?' Wyatt asked bluntly, though he did aim to keep her content so she would do the same for him, he did not want to waste to much time on her as his schedule was already very tight.

'I do. I've gained various physiques, traits, skills, and abilities-not to mention the bloodline we share. Above all, thanks to the fusion, I can now sense the rule sources, Dalie replied openly. But even with all her revelations, she still hadn't told him what he wanted to hear.

'What? You can sense the rule sources?' Wyatt exclaimed in shock. None of his other Daughter Gems could do that. He wondered what made Dalie the exception to all the principles of the Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem, which he had believed to be absolute.

'Let me show you, Dalie said, and in a fraction of a second, she connected to the space rule source. Soon, within mere moments, she had forged a space rule stream in the womb of her realm.

Watching the cascading space rule stream in what had once been considered a barren realm womb, Wyatt felt both shocked and mesmerized. He himself had been attempting to forge his blood rule stream and knew that creating a stream was no easy task for any being, mortal or celestial alike. All had to undergo the universally impartial test of the rule sources to forge rule streams. Yet Dalie had created hers in seconds, defying Wyatt's understanding of reality.

'What the...?' Wyatt cursed as Dalie's endless space rule stream continued to rapidly grow in width.

The widening of the rule stream indicated that more rule meanings of the said rule were being fused into it. Yet each of these meanings had to be comprehended to ultimate mastery and understanding before being fused to the rule stream. Based on

the rate of expansion, it seemed Dalie was comprehending and mastering a minimum of two space rule meanings per second. Wyatt's understanding of reality continued to unravel.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Phew, that was harder than I thought, but I'm glad my realm's womb finally has a rule stream, Dalie said happily, as her space rule stream stabilized. Now it was about twenty-two times its initial width. Finding Wyatt staring at her wide-eyed, she asked, 'What's wrong?

'Why did you stop? Make a few more rule streams, Wyatt said, hiding his shock.

'I only comprehend space rules thanks to the principles of the celestial array formation used in my creation. To forge more rule streams, I'd have to start comprehending different rules first. That will take time-maybe in another century or two I'll manage another rule stream, if I'm lucky, Dalie explained, with a touch of longing to see her womb filled with various rule streams like the wombs of other celestial beings.

Wyatt finally understood. The endless space rule stream before him was the product of Dalie's millennia of space rule comprehension and mastery. Previously, though she couldn't sense rule sources like other celestials, she could still comprehend space rules due to her celestial array formation. But without access to the rule source, she'd been unable to forge a rule stream. As despite her celestial origin, she was technically more of an array than a celestial. This was why she hadn't showcase the full prowess of her space rule mastery to Wyatt during their battle.

Having spent thousands of years on space rule comprehension alone, it was natural that Dalie could rapidly condense her millennia of space rule comprehension and mastery into a majestic space rule stream. Considering millennia of hard work and innate talent as a celestial and Daughter Gem her success was given.

This realization restored Wyatt's confidence in his understanding of reality. He understood that Dalie was an exception to many Daughter Gem rules because she was uniquely powerful. After fusing with his Daughter Gem, her power had only multiplied. At her current strength, if Dalie were a regular being, it would be expected for her to sense the rule source of the rule she had comprehended. However, because of her origin as a celestial core spirit and a Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem, her ability to sense all rule sources without meeting certain milestones in each rule's mastery was within many possibilities.

Wyatt comparing Dalie to his other Daughter Gems now seemed foolish. Considering her unique origin and the fact that she was his only Bloodkin-tier Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem, Wyatt wondered if his Daughter Gem itself had intentionally withheld the full truth about the Primordial Calamity Soul/Daughter Gem from her fearing her reaction.

Wyatt could only speculate, as his abilities didn't reveal the reasoning behind these actions. Just as the human heart and brain don't explain why they did what they did to them, Wyatt had to research to find answers to his questions. Unlike mortals who can study their fellows, Wyatt was one of a kind. Fortunately, with the primordial soul pupil, he knew that, in time, all mysteries would be revealed.

However, Wyatt had a hunch that the only reason his Primordial Daughter Gem had to resort to such measures was due to the vast difference between him and Dalie in terms of their realm, not to mention her origin as a celestial. After all, Daughter Seeds of a World Calamity Tree were never meant to enslave a celestial.
