    Wyatt braced himself for the moment of truth sensing the baptism arriving from within the world will''s womb. As he prepared himself a warm power warped around his body and soon entered his body, he did not put up any form of resistance knowing that this warm power would not harm him as it was a gift for him from the Card World''s will.


    Usually, at this moment a card apprentice would start feeling like they were in the presence of something bigger and greater than themselves and their mundane mortal lives making them believe a higher power was watching over them and everyone they loved. It was the same for Wyatt the previous times he underwent the baptism.


    However, this time Wyatt did not feel like that though he did feel a sense of familiarity and security from the baptism as it washed over his body. This did not mean he immediately jumped to the worst conclusion instead stayed calm and pondered if this was because he had been in the presence of the source and one with it, believing that the majesty of the source might have overshadowed the majesty of the Card world on his soul, heart, and mind. It sounded reasonable in his head, like something he could get behind.


    Nheless, along with all the higher power crap the baptism was always apanied by actual empowerment and improvement in one''s talents, abilities, skills, etc but Wyatt felt no such thing. Seconds passed, and Wyatt could feel the presence of the baptism in him but it remained dormant and did not give him the sense of empowerment and improvement which it gave him the previous times.


    This was when Wyatt realized that what he dreaded might havee true, with every passing second the power of baptism continued to be dormant the more certain Wyatt grew about it failing to affect his body and soul which was modified by the primordial energy from the origin source. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Also, with every passing second Wyatt grew desperate, desperate for the baptism to work. The longer the energy remained dormant in his body the more desperate he grew. He even considered praying in this universe where the concept of the almighty did not fare well for anyone, not that he was a religious person, he was just too desperate to not lose the miraculous effect of the baptism.


    For Wyatt, baptism was more than this miraculous power one benefits from during every breakthrough in the realm, it was the one thing that would bring harmony to his chaotic arsenal of abilities, talent, skills, etc, and let him know that he was on the right track letting him know he was on the correct path with the hidden danger or at the least point out the dangers to him. Making it a very important thing to look forward to for him during a breakthrough in the realm.


    Wyatt was in possession of so many skills, abilities, physiques, and traits that it was hard for him to keep track of them apart from the ones that he regrly used. Even with the Hive AI helping keep track of things there was always room for negligent errors. This was just a possibility but Wyatt being Wyatt he was too cautious about his progression as a card apprentice.


    Having seen the world leaders of the card world stuck in a realm that wasn''t even worth mentioning in the dark realm for centuries, he did not want to make any mistakes in his realm progression early on such thatter he would be stuck them. He wanted to achieve the realm that everyone dreamed of, the realm fabled to have never been achieved by any being in the myriad realms, the realm all the dark beings in the dark realm wet dreams about achieving, the realm that was considered the zenith of the power level in the myriad realms, the transcendent realm.


    Wyatt was not some power-hungry manic to pursue the strongest realm from the myths. It was just that now that his old military buddy once said that peace can only be achieved when we have a sharper sword than our enemies. Back then Wyattughed it off saying, ''Who carries a sword in the nuclear age?'' but now that he was in a world where the one with a bigger fist was correct, especially where beings with fists stronger than a nuclear warhead existed, he was understood what his army buddy was trying to imply back then. Not that he did not get it the first time, it''s just that he did not think one needs to live with such an attitude in the modern age.


    For Wyatt to achieve the realm of the myths, he would require the baptism of the card world even if it would only be avable to him till he achieves the card demigod realm as the baptism would allow him toy a very solid foundation without having to worry about any hidden danger that would force him to take a detour in the future or worse get him stuck with no hope of further progress just like the circumstances of the most of the current world leaders of the card world.


    Baptism from the Card world was an important arsenal in Wyatt''s ns for his solid foundation. Its miraculous nature had helped him survive the adverse effect of his ill-informed artificially induced soul mutation by tearing his soul. It was one of the most ignorant actions on Wyatt''s part if not for baptism helping hold the fort maybe he might have soon or long sumbed because of an iplete soul mutation. One can even say that it was the Card world''s baptism that saved Wyatt long enough for him to learn of what he had done and how to rectify it.


    Therefore, Wyatt''s desperation for the baptism to work was not an overreaction on his part but it was truly that important for him and his ns. However, seconds passed and the power of the baptism circled inside his body but it had no effect or change on him what so ever, just when Wyatt''s desperation was about to turned into hopelessness the power of the baptism circling inside his body reacted to one of his ability.
