After his grandmaster realm baptism by the energy from the origin source, guided by the baptism energy from the card world, Wyatt underwent several optimizations to his skills, traits, and physique. One of these changes was the fusion of his mutant ego gem, the 'Primordial Calamity Soul Gem, with his innate calamity, "World Devouring Plague" and his third blood rule rune, 'Blood Plague Incarnation"
First, his third blood rule rune, "Blood Plague Incarnation," created a duplicate rune that fused with his innate calamity, "World Devouring Plague, evolving his innate calamity into "World Devouring Blood Plague Incarnation." As a result, his innate calamity gained all the effects of the blood rule, including the ability to use soul energy and blood rule to form and multiply, plague hive, and plague rebirth. This significantly increased the versatility of his innate calamity to a whole new level. Then his evolved innate calamity "World Devouring Blood Plague Incarnation' fused with his origin card "Primordial Calamity Soul Gem' transforming his mutated ego gem into a new form, resembling a single world devouring plague/blood plague cell. In this form, it retained all its original abilities along with his's innate calamity's ability to devour anything, including the world and it's will. Additionally, it gained the limitless multiplying ability of his innate calamity and third blood rule rune, enabling it to rapidly mass-produce countless primordial calamity daughter gems. They were connected by plague hive and to replace the original after its death using plague rebirth. Each of these daughter gems resembled a plague cell and possessed all the prowess of a world devouring blood plague incarnation.
Essentially, his mutated ego gem, 'Primordial Calamity Soul Gem," and his evolved innate calamity, 'World Devouring Blood Plague Incarnation," had become one and the same. This was only possible due to the parent-and-daughter gem skill of his primordial calamity soul gem, which was similar to the reproductive skill of his world devouring plague and compatible with his third blood rule rune blood plague incarnation. Together they served as base for this miraculous fusion giving brith to primordial calamity soul gem's new form.
Because of this fusion, his Hive AI was also baptized and fused with Plague Hive, transforming from an artificial intelligence serving as a link between his multiple primordial souls into a spirit surviving as the link for his innate calamity along with his multiple primordial spirits. This meant the "World Devouring Plague" could expand limitlessly without Wyatt losing connection or control over it. Even as a spirit, the Hive AI had retain all its Al capabilities. As a spirit, it could execute these capabilities more efficiently and was now called the Hive Spirit.
Also, though not as significant, his third blood rule rune's Plague Rebirth had fused with his Reconstruction skill to become Cellular Reconstruction. This allowed him to regenerate as long as a single cell of his body remained, much like blood rebirth but without being limited to just blood. Despite this successful fusion, his mutated ego gem continued to maintain its previous form by producing multiple primordial calamity daughter gems. These daughter gems, along with the primordial calamity soul gem at the center, concentrated together in a shape resembling its previous mutated ego gem form. This is why the Field Marshal found nothing wrong with it, despite monitoring Wyatt's mutated ego gem with her innate sense. Even Wyatt wasn't aware of this until he read about it in his grimoire's status page.
Because of this fusion, similar to how his mutated ego gem gained the tiny size and reproduction
ability of his evolved innate calamity, "World Devouring Blood Plague Incarnation," his innate calamity also inherited the various abilities of his primordial calamity soul gem. Some of these notable abilities included:
i) One with the Source: The ability to connect directly to the origin source of the universe. ii) Dual Existence: The ability to exist simultaneously in both the spiritual and physical planes. iii) Primordial Calamity Daughter Gems: The ability to create and control powerful daughter gems with various abilities, including enslavement, Hive Spirit, Viltronian versatility and vitality, Blood Curse immunity, Myriad devil transformation, soul energy manipulation, cellular reconstruction, transformation, etc
In conclusion, thanks to the baptism, Wyatt's origin card has absorbed most of his similar and compatible traits, physique, and abilities, evolving into a stronger version of itself. This made the baptism he received for breaking through to the grandmaster realm his most rewarding power-up so far. It justified the patience showed and time he invested in laying a proper foundation and unlocking his fourth transformation. This further solidified Wyatt's resolve not to rush his practice in pursuit of quickly gaining power.
From his display of power so far, especially against the unknown entity that managed to render the Field Marshal helpless, he appeared to have grown stronger than her. However, that was far from the truth. It was only that his innate calamity was a proper counter to the entity's attack. If Wyatt were to fight the Field Marshal in his current form, assisted by primordial energy, he had no doubt the Field Marshal would easily defeat him, though not as effortlessly as before.
The power and control she gained from mastering multiple martial arts from various disciples and styles to sage level created a huge power gap between the two which was not something Wyatt could overcome with his current arsenal of never-before-seen abilities. These abilities of his could only make him a good punching bag and allow him to escape if he was unable to take the beating anymore. In conclusion, Wyatt was fortunate that his innate calamity was the weakness of the unknown entity's attack. This prompted him to come to the spiritual plane to find the unknown enemy.
"You found me," the innocent voice replied in amazement as Wyatt's form materialized in the spiritual plane, surrounded by multiple red clouds made up of one of his innate calamity's effect 'World Devouring Plague!
The voice belonged to the celestial array formation core. It seemed the core had given birth to a spirit. This meant the unknown enemy he was facing was the array core's spirit, the master of the realm and the celestial array formation, and not the creator of the celestial array formation who had refined the realm's will into a celestial array formation core. Learning this brought a huge relief to Wyatt.
