Henricks' idea of using a blood-producing card to generate limitless cursed blood flame was indeed clever. However, he overlooked two critical factors:

Firstly, even if there existed a card capable of helping a card apprentice produce an infinite amount of blood within their body, the apprentice wouldn't actually be able to generate infinite blood just by equipping it. This is because both cards and grimoires rely on soul energy. The card would only enable the card apprentice to produce blood as long as it had access to soul energy. Once the soul energy and any other reserves were depleted, the card would cease to function. Therefore, the concept of producing infinite amounts of blood through such a card is impractical.

Secondly, even if there were an infinite supply of blood, the cursed blood flame generated using the user's blood wouldn't be as potent as the cursed blood flame produced using blood rule power. This is particularly true if the user's mastery and understanding of the blood curse meaning were at the ultimate tier. While the blood fuel based cursed blood flame might be better than nothing, at Henricks and Ransom's advanced power levels, such weak flames would be virtually useless regardless of their quantity.

Henricks' speculation, although insightful, didn't account for these limitations. Producing infinite blood and utilizing it to generate cursed blood flames seemed like a viable strategy on the surface. However, the dependency on soul energy and the difference in the quality of flames produced from blood versus blood rule power made the idea flawed in practice. These overlooked aspects underscore the complexity of manipulating such powerful forces and the practical constraints that even the most ingenious strategies must contend with.

It's not that Henricks and Ransom failed to see these factors, but they found this possibility more acceptable than believing that Wyatt had access to infinite blood rule power. They reasoned that Wyatt, being wealthy, might possess a significant amount of soul jades or a card that enhanced his soul energy recovery rate, allowing him to sustain the blood-producing card longer than usual. While these arguments were far-fetched, they were still more plausible to them than the idea of Wyatt having limitless blood rule power. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was a reflection of human nature—they feared the unknown and sought comfort in explanations their minds and hearts could accept, even if it meant deceiving themselves. Even the most capable individuals, when confronted with the unknown, often succumb to this tendency. Henricks and Ransom, despite their status as powerful demigods holding authoritative positions in their respective organizations, were no exception. Witnessing Wyatt perform the seemingly impossible, they constructed rationalizations to make it conceivable within their understanding.

They fooled themselves, demonstrating that even mighty demigods were still fundamentally human. They preferred self-deception over accepting that something they deemed impossible was, in fact, happening. This behavior illustrated a universal trait: the inclination to deny the extraordinary in favor of more digestible explanations, no matter how improbable those explanations might be. Henricks and Ransom, despite their power and knowledge, exemplified this trait, showing that the fear of the unknown can compel even the strongest individuals to cling to familiar, albeit flawed, reasoning.

Their rationalizations served as a psychological defense mechanism, enabling them to cope with the bewildering reality before them. In doing so, they maintained their sense of control and understanding in a situation that defied their expectations and challenged their perceptions of what was possible.

"Ingenious, indeed. However, considering Wyatt's current predicament, this clever strategy isn't the desperate solution he needs; it's merely delaying the inevitable. The Undead Golems will soon find a way to overturn this situation and achieve their goal," Henricks remarked. He understood that while the undead demigods' sentience might be impaired, making their decision-making slow, their combined intellect as undead golems was formidable and not to be underestimated. They had proven their strategic prowess time and again.

"Well, there's nothing we can do to help him. Leaving the space isolation array formation will be impossible with his torrent of cursed blood flame covering every inch of the mystic dimension," Ransom said, though it was unclear whether he would allow Henricks out of his confinement to assist Wyatt if push came to shove. He then added, "However, all hope is not lost. Wyatt is still attempting to set up the pseudo-natural sunspot array formation. Considering the amount of cursed blood flame he's channeling into the network of natural nodes, I believe we should focus on strengthening the space isolation array formation."

"Really?" Henricks eyed Ransom skeptically. "Are you sure you aren't just worried that I'll use the explosion as a chance to escape your grasp?"

"How could that be? I'm just concerned for our safety," Ransom replied, conjuring the most sincere smile he could muster, though Henricks remained unconvinced.

Without waiting for Henricks' reply, Ransom began fortifying the space isolation array formation. He was concerned it might not withstand the impending explosion of the network of natural nodes. However, as Henricks had pointed out, he was more worried about the possibility of Henricks escaping during the chaos.

Determined to protect themselves from the explosion and avoid being vaporized like the undead golems, Ransom focused on strengthening the array formation. His years of experience as an array master, combined with his unique observational abilities, indicated that the explosion of the network of natural nodes would be far more devastating than he had initially assumed. Wyatt was overloading the natural nodes with cursed blood flame, pushing capacity beyond their limits, making the explosion inevitable. The explosion was going to be so devastating that it would only leave behind catastrophic destruction in its wake. "It's time," Wyatt grinned, sensing the natural nodes reaching their breaking point. He glanced at the two and a half dozen undead golems, still suppressed and cornered by his relentless cursed blood flame. Wyatt's grin widened, knowing he had them right where he wanted.
