Removing the pathogens infesting Marcy's body was not an easy task since their spore had infested her ovaries. The pathogens had morphed Marcy's body to their needs. Transferring from one generation to another they had perfected their methods and in a way evolved themselves to Marcy's lineage. They were no longer the same as the pathogens that were first introduced in Marcy's predecessors. Therefore, if these pathogens were released in their original habitat they will have a hard time adapting and might not survive.

Originally Marcy's body looked sickly as if she would die anytime yet in such a state she would work hard to clean city sewers exhausting her body. However, despite all this her body never collapsed because of the pathogens. After all, Marcy's body was the hive of these pathogens, so whenever their hive neared they would repair it to dare minimum.

Unlike bees and other beings that build, protect, maintain, and repair their hive life long, the pathogens only act when the situation turns desperate and they do not even see it to the end but would do only the bare minimum. The pathogens only cared about maintaining her body till they could move on to her descendants.

However, the pathogens seemed to be unaware that because of their predatory actions, their food source, Marcy's soul, was near exhaustion after being abused for over a decade and a half. So even if they barely kept her body from collapsing, the soul running it was about to extinguish. That was, Marcy was about to die without reproducing which meant with her demise the pathogens would also meet their end.

Usually, to avoid such situations pathogens would have a failsafe to force their host to reproduce by dominating the hormones in their body. But the pathogens in Marcy's body did not do that, showing that they had not prepared for something like this. This could only be possible because, during their evolution to fit Marcy's lineage, they never faced a problem where their host did not give birth to descendants. Since they were not aware of this problem they did not find a solution or prepare for it.

In a way, the pathogens had crippled their evolution when they limited themselves to only infecting Marcy's lineage. But that decision also enabled them to live till today because if the pathogens were to infect others then Marcy's predecessors would be killed for being the patient zero, the carrier of pathogens. However, these pathogens had a good run compared to the other pathogens that died at the very beginning. The ending of these pathogens was more like 'All good things come to an end.'

"How are you feeling?" Wyatt asked Marcy, who was shedding tears. Controlling her emotions, she soon replied, "I finally feel free."

"Good, take this pill, I will show you the true freedom," Wyatt said passing Marcy a high-grade silver milk pill.

Taking the pill from Wyatt, Marcy swallowed it without hesitation. Seeing Aurelia, nudged her cousin with her elbow and whispered, "He is doing it again." Dan nodded, his eyes glued on the sickly girl surrounded by their boss's floating heads and arms.

Unlike Clara who had six percent active soul control, Marcy had none, as until recently it had been constantly abused by a foreign pathogen that Marcy's body had inherited from her predecessors. So Wyatt had to help her build her active soul control percentage from the very beginning however, he found it easier to elevate Marcy's soul compared to Clara's soul because Marcy's soul had a strong talent for active soul control which only further improved under constant abuse of the pathogens.

When Marcy introduced the high-grade silver milk pill into her system, her soul began to devour it like a hungry ghost. After all, it was starved by the pathogens for over a decade and a half. Even without Wyatt's intervention, Marcy's soul began to use the soul energy from the pill to elevate its active soul control at a fast speed. Yet, Wyatt's slave consciousnesses remained and helped guide Marcy's soul to follow the advanced soul cultivation method, allowing it to digest the soul power from the high-grade silver milk pill efficiently.

0% >> 1% >> … >> 7% >> … >> 10% >> 11% >>...>> 16%>>...>>19%...

Under the influence of the silver milk pill and following the guidance of Wyatt's consciousnesses Marcy's soul instantly got rid of its mortal status and became a card student, if not for Wyatt's stopping it, it would broken through to the card soldier realm. Marcy's predecessor's talent was a lot scarier than Wyatt had estimated. It seemed to have undergone constant evolution along with the pathogens.

Taking out a golden grimoire, Wyatt awakened Marcy and passed it to her saying, "Contract it." Seeing Wyatt hand a golden grimoire to Marcy to contract, the onlookers were all surprised. They all had witnessed that Marcy was a mortal and sick on at that, so they could not help but be puzzled why Wyatt asked her to contract a golden grimoire.

Marcy was high on silver milk pill, right now she could not tell up from down let allow respond to Wyatt. The feeling of having her soul rapidly grow was too much for her to handle it was like she was having multiple orgasms in a row. Thankfully her heart could handle it.

Seeing that Marcy was in no state to respond, Wyatt helped Marcy contract the golden grimoire by dropping her blood on it. Once Marcy's blood came in contact with the grimoire, the golden grimoire shined brightly, radiating an amber glow. It started to hover in front of Marcy but since she was out of it, it did not open to reveal her status page instead it was recalled and Wyatt allowed Marcy's soul to do its thing.

19%>> … >> 25%>> …>> 29%

Arriving at the peak of the card soldier realm, Marcy's soul had completely digested the high-grade silver milk pill. If not for most of its power being used to contract the golden grimoire and consolidate her status, the soul could have broken into the mid-stage of the card master realm before exhausting the power of the silver milk pill. However, following Wyatt's arrangement Marcy stood to gain the most.
