Blood is a carrier. It carries both nutrition and waste in the organism’s body. This nutrition carried by the blood adds flavor and sweetness to a being’s blood. The sweetness of the blood stems from the sugar content in the nourishment carried by the blood. This nutrition in the blood is what gives it flavor.
If the average blood is a carrier of nutrition and energy, the World Rule ‘Blood’ itself is energy. Therefore it can do all that average blood can do and much more. Blood rule is pure energy with the concept and meaning of regular blood. Blood is a pure form of rule power; therefore, it is bland and flavorless.
The blood conjured by Bloodette from thin air is no average blood. It is a condensed form of the blood rule. Therefore when she applied the technique that I taught her to create blood candies. There was no waste produced in the process. And also the reason why the end product tasted so darn tasteless and flavorless. But compared to the blood candies made by average blood, these blood candies had a lot of energy in them.
If the blood candies I made can be considered sweet candies, then Bloodette’s blood candies, a powerhouse of blood rule power, can be named the legendary blood rule pills.
One has to know that conjuring condensed blood rule out of thin air is not something somebody with average proficiency in blood manipulation skills can achieve. Even if this cave dungeon can be considered the holy place for Blood rule comprehension, conjuring blood rule power in physical form requires a high-level comprehension of blood rule and high-tier blood manipulation rune.
Though Bloodette was only in the Overlord realm, she seemed to have very high proficiency in blood manipulation. Seeing how she is made entirely of condensed blood rule, I have no comments about her comprehension of blood rule.
Soul energy and rule power are two different concepts. Soul energy is embodied in everything, and the higher the soul energy one has, the higher the realm they are. But Rule power is the pure form of energy that makes up almost everything for the first big bang.
Soul energy gives one the ability to ascend to a higher realm, whereas rule power gives one the authority to understand and control everything that makes the world. Rule power and soul energy are not related to one another. One dictates the card apprentice’s authority over the world, and the other dictates the card apprentices’ presence in the world. Two are not to be confused.
Bloodette, as the oddity born from the world rule blood, has had very high authority over blood rule since her birth. As the darling of the blood rule, her sovereignty over blood rule is undeniable. But the same cannot be said for her presence in the world, aka her realm. This she can only gain through normal means with cultivation and time. Even as the spawn of the Blood rule itself, she cannot skip this crucial part. But still, her origin gives her a lot of advantages compared to the others.
With her Overload realm and high-level blood rule, Bloodette could quickly subdue something like my blood ego elemental. Thinking back to the tournament finals, I cannot help but think how lucky I was to defeat Bloodette. If not for her resistance towards the influence of the world’s will, adding debuffs to her power by a massive margin, I do not think I could have been able to defeat Bloodette.
“There is no problem with your technique. The fault is in the ingredient you used. It is not suitable to create sweet blood candies.
The blood you conjure is a condensed blood rule. It is tasteless and flavorless, to begin with. So no matter how efficiently you apply the technique, you can only make tasteless blood candies with it.
But it is not without merits as the blood candies you created through the blood you conjured have a lot of blood rule power in them. One candy is enough for somebody to step into comprehension of blood rule effortlessly. What I am trying to say is the blood candy you made is very precious than mine. Heck, just the blood you conjured is priceless.” I honestly explained what I deduced about the blood candy created by Bloodette.
“So what if it is precious and priceless when they taste so bad. I like your blood candies better. They are priceless. Umm… I can’t have enough of them.” Bloodette did not seem to care about the value of the Blood candies she created; instead, she seemed to think the blood candies I made with F-rank monster blood to be more precious and priceless.
“…” Hearing Bloodette, I finally realized how people must have felt when I would destroy the working prototypes of future tech that I invented just because they were not perfect and as efficient as I wanted them to be. I have to say that this feeling is not good. No wonder the management of the company hated my gut. Billions of dollars that were used to create that prototype went down in drains just because I was not satisfied with it.
“So the problem is not with me. This blood I create is bland.” Being trapped in the dungeon, Bloodette survived by drinking the blood conjured using blood power. She had never tasted anything before, so she was fine with using the conjured blood to erase her hunger. But once she tasted the blood pudding provided by Cortney, Bloodette finally knew the concept of taste and texture, getting hooked to blood pudding and the sugar in it.
“Wyatt, What is this blood rule you are talking about?” Cortney could not help but ask, hearing something she did not know.
“Has Clown Mask not taught you about Ego Gem and World Rules?” Clown mask knew how to create Ego gem, having watched her future self forge an Ego Gem in her future vision. But she chose not to forge in this timeline because of the risk of blowing up her cover. Yes, forging an Ego Gen and comprehending rules would significantly boost her strength, but it was not worth the risk. Because if she were found out, she would not be able to sabotage the rise of the supreme leader of the Circle. I thought she would have at least taught Cortney the basic circulation method, but Clown Mask was through about her priorities.
“No, master never spoke of Ego gem or world rules. This is the first time I am hearing about them.” I accessed the stored memories of Clown Mask and found that the Clown Mask seems to have chosen not to pass down anything about ego gem and world rule to her daughter because it was too much of a risk. According to her, the Supreme leader had to be stopped no matter the cost.
