CH.438 Truths about Amilie
<span style="font-weight:400">Back on HomeBase, I had a busy day of work to catch up on everything that I’d missed while I was away.
<span style="font-weight:400">… Makes me miss the times when it was just Alice, Lua, Ria, Agunan, Wilma, Einar, Eline and I. Things were easier back then.
<span style="font-weight:400">But growing operations mean more management work, and I just have to do it.
<span style="font-weight:400">I also had to prepare some stuff for Larkos and Kikumi. Mainly a floating wheelchair for both of them, because while HomeBase had some water channels they could use, this ce wasn’t perfect when it came to epting water creatures.
<span style="font-weight:400">And it isn’t like HomeBase is bad. You can get to most ces by the water channels, but still. This isn’t an underwater ce and you can’t get everywhere by swimming.
<span style="font-weight:400">The two also got some new clothing and skin moisturizing bracelets.
<span style="font-weight:400">And they get to take part in magic lessons, so I was able to learn the attributes they have.
<span style="font-weight:400">Larkos has water, which is by far the mostmon attribute with mer-folk. From what I’ve learned, around 40% of the merfolk have water as their attribute.
<span style="font-weight:400">Compare that to humans, where about 20% have water attribute, and you can see the difference. In case you were wondering, for regr humans, earth is the mostmon attribute at about 23%. Followed by fire at 21%. Then water, then wind with around 19%. Then light at around 14%. Andstly dark at about 10%.
<span style="font-weight:400">And I know what you might be asking. ‘But that is 107% of people. Where do the 8% who have no attribute fit in?’
<span style="font-weight:400">And yes, you can ask that. But the answer is simple. Some people have two attributes. Or three. Or even four, but that is extremely rare because of the opposing attributes problem.
<span style="font-weight:400">But enough about stupid attributes that I can manipte with my cards. Let’s get back to Larkos and Kikumi. Kikumi has the Dark attribute. And yes, I did make sure both of them would get lessons in those types of magics. Larkos might even return to the Nixie n and go on to learn that Water Kraken spell.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Kikumi … Well, considering the number of Dark Spellcasters I have, and not to mention Alice, I think she will be set to be one of the greatest mages the Nixie n has ever seen. As long as she puts in the work and gets some level up help.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">Outside of that, I began looking into the ‘zombie’ project Amilie has in the dungeon. Not like I was trying to make zombies, I can easily do that with Call of the Haunted. But more like I was trying to figure out what Amilie was actually trying to do.
<span style="font-weight:400">And I do think I figured it out, thanks to Thssa and Rain. Well, Rain just delivered the info to me and didn’t really take part in the investigation, but whatever.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thssa had skimmed the memories of the water spirit who had blessed Amilie, and it confirmed my suspicions that Amilie was using the dungeon to put both mana and miasma into the spirit.
<span style="font-weight:400">From what little memories the spirit has from the time before it was corrupted into a sprite, Amilie was trying to turn the greater spirit into an artificial superior spirit. But that failed because the miasma corrupted him.
<span style="font-weight:400">That made me figure out what Amilie was doing with the corpses of the mer-folk. She was trying to do more than just resurrect the dead, she was trying to force an evolution.
<span style="font-weight:400">It honestly isn’t that far from what I can do with my cards. With Polymerization, I can basically make someone evolve right then and there. Sure ites with the dual personality problem, but that is a small price to pay.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">So yeah. I think Amilie was trying tobine multiple mer-folk into one new being that would be superior to regr mer-folk. Honestly speaking, I want to say just how stupid and idiotic that is, but since I could easily do that myself, I really can’t.
<span style="font-weight:400">I mean, one Polymerization with multiple willing, or mind controlled, test subjects, and I could have it done. Sure I have the ‘go back’ button that is De-Fusion, so it isn’t quite the same, but still.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">I feel like everything Amilie did is trying to make me challenge my view of myself.
<span style="font-weight:400">I mean, I use Level Up! to cheat the level system. Sure Amilie, from what I know, didn’t do that, but trying to super boost a spirit is almost the same.
<span style="font-weight:400">And the entirebining many into one just automatically makes me think of Alice and how I basically forced her to be who she is today. … I know she literally asked me to do it, but I should have defused her immediately after the fight. And now that option is beyond me.
<span style="font-weight:400">I shook my head to get my thoughts right. I really shouldn’t be focusing on pessimistic bullshit. I’m not Amilie, I know that. And I have to stopparing the things we do.
<span style="font-weight:400">Because at the end of the day, there are two very big differences between us.
<span style="font-weight:400">One, I test my experiments in the Factory first.
<span style="font-weight:400">And two, I always get permission from people before I permanently mess with their bodies.
<span style="font-weight:400">… other than when I resurrect people. But that is literally life and death, so I don’t think it counts.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">And to get my brain off of this existential crisis, I decided to to open some packs to get my mind off of things.
<span style="font-weight:400">I have two sets I haven’t fullypleted, and , so those are the two I’ll go for. I’ll start with diator''s Assault, as I’ve only opened 15 packs of it thus far. It isn’t really the fault of the set, I was just obsessed with getting my Rainbow Dragon and Vennominaga.
<span style="font-weight:400">… well, it also kind of is, because diator''s Assault just doesn’t have any ‘high impact’ cards that I’d really want. Sure some of the Evil Heroes would be interesting to have, but they are no Rainbow Dragon.
<span style="font-weight:400">But that is neither here nor there. Let’s do 20 packs of diator''s Assault and see what we get. And maybe 10 packs of Phantom Darkness afterwards.

<span style="font-weight:400">Swiftstrike Armor, Alien Hypno, "A" Cell Incubator, Release from Stone, Swing of Memories, An Unfortunate Report, diator Beast''s Battle Halberd, Soul Devouring Bamboo Sword, Cloudian - Cirrostratus

<span style="font-weight:400">Okay. Starting off with a new Cloudian. And Cirrostratus isn’t bad at all. All themons I already had, so next pack.

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">diator Beast Alexander, nice. Sure it might just be a beater, but it looks cool. And I really like that wing armor he is wearing, so I might have to look into that. I could make myself something simr.
<span style="font-weight:400">And the others are stuff I already had, so next pack.

<span style="font-weight:400">"A" Cell Incubator, diator Beast Dimacari, diator Beast Bestiari, Swiftstrike Armor, Swing of Memories, Disarm, Interdimensional Warp, Contact Out, diator Beast''s Respite
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Disarm is new and spell negation is good, so that is nice. Also, if I do make some sort of mechanical wings, diator Beast''s Respite might be a good thing to use as a base.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Two new cards this time. Expressroid and Defensive Tactics. Expressroid is a train, so if I ever want to make train tracks and trains, it will be nice for that. Actually, maybe I should make a miniature rail set thingy. It could be something cool to have in one of the halls where I host events.
<span style="font-weight:400">Defensive Tactics is also pretty good. Sure it is just Waboku with extra steps, but that doesn’t make it bad.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Infernal Gainer is new. And it is alright. Normally it is kind of worthless, because one special summon, but I have unlimited normal summons, so summoning Infernal Gainer so I can tribute it for a monster to be able to double attack is a legitimate option.

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Okay. A new Neos fusion. And it is one of the triple fusions. … Sadly Chaos Neos is awful. I mean really. Who designed the effect? Why is it coin flip based? For how difficult Chaos Neos is to summon, you really should get to choose the effect you want.
<span style="font-weight:400">But it is a ghost rare, so I’ll take it. Next pack.

<span style="font-weight:400">And it is … decent, I suppose. A bit too slow to stack up, but it isn’t bad. And honestly, I like my Solidarity-like cards. They are just fun for casual y.
