'Dalie, can you sense the origin source?" Wyatt asked, refraining from explaining the full truth of what it meant to be a Daughter Gem, as he didn't want to test the limits of the delicate harmony his abilities had established with Dalic as his Daughter Gem. He chose to trust in the strength of the cursed primordial bloodline, believing it to be absolute, even for Dalie, a mutant celestial.

Wyatt labeled Dalie a "mutant celestial" because, after fusing with his Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem, she had shed her old status, evolving into a complete celestial and even more. Previously, the only thing preventing Dalie from being a true celestial was her inability to sense rule sources and natural growth, requiring her to rely on energy from two suns and resources extracted from meteoroids and asteroids for sustenance. These source were barely enough to fuel her existence let along help her growth and development, even if they were sufficient she was incapable of helping her grow as a celestial but as array spirit they could.

However, now that she could sense rule sources as a regular celestial would, she had a more efficient sources to not only sustain her existence and to help her grow as a celestial, just like other celestials. Not to mention, with the added abilities of the Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem, she was different from regular celestials, making her a mutant among the celestial.

If she could sense the origin source, she would be not only different but superior to a regular celestial, with access to the primordial energy coveted by all beings in the myriad realms, including celestials.

If she were able to sense the origin source than she will not only be different from a regular celestial but better than a regular celestial gaining acessing to the primordial energy coveted by every being in the myriad realms including the celestial beings.

'No, but should I be able to?' Dalie asked with concern, reluctant for this revelation to dampen her excitement over gaining the kinship she had longed for and her new status as a true celestial, something she could only dreamed of.

'You will, as you grow stronger, Wyatt said, attempting to dismiss the matter. But Dalie persisted, 'But you can sense it, can't you?'

'Yes, but that doesn't reflect on your abilities. Besides, Celestials can't sense the origin source without meeting certain milestones and achievements. If you continue to progress as you are, I'm confident you will be able to sense it too, Wyatt assured her. Despite his tight schedule, he felt he had to indulge Dalie: otherwise, he might soon

find out if she was an exception to the cursed primordial bloodline as well. Wyatt typically didn't like to leave variable unattended to, but he felt helpless since Dalic's strength was beyond his control, and celestials were a special existence in the myriad realms.

Still, if it turned out that Dalie was immune to the cursed bloodline's control, Wyatt had a contingency: he could awaken the dormant plague fused into her celestial array core and let it do what it did best-devour realms. However, this was a last resort. Awakening the plague would consume massive energy, and fully overtaking her core would demand even more. Besides, Wyatt needed Dalie alive to profit from his investment, and he couldn't summon that much power instantly-not yet atleast. 'But you can sense the origin source, Dalie pointed out, sounding disappointed. She wasn't jealous; instead, as his elder sister, she simply felt inadequate. If the Field Marshal overheard her, she might jokingly invite Dalie to the "Wyatt's Friends and Family Club," as feeling incompetent around Wyatt came with the territory. But over time, Wyatt had a way of making others feel that his achievements were their own. ... Wyatt was momentarily speechless. He couldn't quite grasp the source of Dalie's disappointment, but he was sure she wasn't jealous, so he decided to shift the subject. 'Come, let me introduce you to my friend and mentor!

Upon arriving in the physical plane in his usual form, Wyatt retrieved the plague cells surrounding the Field Marshal and informed her, "The situation has been handled. We can continue mining here without any concerns."

"Who is that?" the Field Marshal asked, her voice filled with questions about both the threat and the power Wyatt had displayed. Yet, she chose to ask about the immediate mystery-the female version of Wyatt beside him. She guessed it was an incarnation of him but dreaded the idea that Wyatt might be one of those with a peculiar preference. Moreover, the female version's strength was overwhelming, sending her survival instincts into overdrive and making her want to flee.

"That's my elder sister, Dalie Wyatt," Wyatt introduced Dalie. The Field Marshal suspected he was joking, but his demeanor suggested otherwise. Seeing the confusion on her face, Wyatt added, "Dalie is the will of this realm a.k.a the spirit of the celestial array formation."

"She's a celestial!" the Field Marshal blurted in shock. She quickly descended and bowed deeply to Dalie, pleading, "Please, forgive my insolence, Your Highness." Though it was her first time witnessing a celestial will in physical form, Wyatt's words, and Dalie's strength, left no room for doubt.

"What's she doing? Should I bow too?" Dalie asked Wyatt in confusion. As the will of a barren realm, she had no interaction with mortals, and those she did encounter were mostly frightened interdimensional travelers trespassing the realm. So, she didn't know mortals revered celestials.

"No, don't. That might just scare her to death," Wyatt hurriedly said, signaling to then/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Field Marshal to drop the formalities. "Field Marshal, Dalie is my elder sister-treat her as such, nothing more."

The Field Marshal dropped the formalities but gave Wyatt a blank stare, finding it hard to believe that a celestial would consider herself a mortal's elder sibling. There was a limit to boasting, and Wyatt had crossed it my several miles. Though Dalie appeared very friendly toward Wyatt, the Field Marshal didn't dare mistake it for anything else even it meant doubting her young liege's words. This was the difference between Devils and Card Demigods, one hunted celestials as nourishment while other revered them as creator gods.
