Note: The holder of this card can never walk on the path of divinity, and they are destined to wake the way of Darkness.]

Swarm: This ability allows the Devil Broodnun to create limitless absolute clones of herself by laying countless eggs. The devil clones hatched from the eggs will be a perfect copy of the Devil Broodnun, creating a clone swarm.

Devil Skull Mask: This mask has the ability to duplicate itself limitlessly to create Devil Skull Mask Swarm.

When the duplicate Devil Skull Mask is used on other humans, they morph into a perfect Clone of the original holder of the Devil Skull Mask down to the soul pathway arrangements, let alone the physical resemblance.

A human host doesn't have the physique to use the innate ability Swarm of the Devil Broodnun, so instead of laying eggs to create a perfect clone swarm, the user can use the Devil Skull Mask to produce a delicate Devil Skull Mask to be used on other humans and turn them into an exact copy of oneself, a perfect clone. Forming a clone swarm.

Additional ability: Swarm Mind

Swarm Mind: The minds of all the clones wearing the duplicate Devil Skull Mask will be connected to the mind of the original wearing the original Devil Skull Mask. Allowing the clones to share the same thoughts, abilities, perspective, memory, behavior, and senses as the original.

Since the clones don't have thoughts of their own but share the original thoughts, the clone swarm will sacrifice themselves for the original. Because according to the original's thoughts, the original's life takes priority over the clone in any situation since the clones are disposable. Then the same thoughts are shared with the clones by the swarm mind, making the clones think and believe that the original's life is more important and takes priority as they are disposable. Therefore the Clones will not complain or rebel against the original orders. Making it easier for the original to control and command the clones.

Note: The Range of Swarm mind is restricted to the realm in which the original is present in. Meaning the original can connect and control any of its clones from anywhere in the same realm.

Demon Core: With the help of the Devil Skull Mask, the user can forge a Demon Core, giving the user a Demonic physique, which helps increase the durability and strength of the user's body to a monstrous level.

t.i.tle Demon Core(Dorment): t.i.tle Demon Core allows the user to connect with the world and comprehend rules and their meanings.

Note: A card apprentice who has forged a t.i.tle Demon Core cannot forge Ego Gem.

Darkness(Dorment): the Enlightenment of one's Darkness helps a Demon emperor transcend into a Devil.

Note: Card apprentice who has found their Darkness cannot find their Divinity.

Devilification: As one with the Devil's bone, the user can partially transform into a devil and access the devil's power for a limited period.

Note: The limit of the Devilification will depend on the strength and the will of the host.

Warning: using Devilification forcefully may lead to losing oneself to the Darkness.

Vile Sense: The Devil's Bone is the creation of Dark Realms. Its holder can sense the part of the Dark realm from where the Swarm Devil Broodnun belonged to.

Devil Sp.a.w.n: The holder of this ability can dwell in Demonic Mystic Arts with very lax repercussions, near negligible.

"Such a shame that your body will lose your current appearance. The duplicate Devil's skull mask looks so good on you. Soon, you will be a part of me, so it doesn't matter. I guess." Seeing the Devil Skull Mask attached to my face effortlessly without facing any resistance, the cloaked Mask figure commented before adding, " I haven't used this ability on a card apprentice who has forged an ego gem. You will be my first test subject. Therefore don't resist. Because I don't have much control over what is about to happen next, Duplicate Devil Skull Mask activates!"

With the command of the Cloaked figure, the duplicate devil skull mask began to release dark vapors as its intent dove into my body. The intent felt malicious, so I had the feeling that it would soon try to take over my body or plant a slave brand on my body. Knowing all this, I still chose to continue my act. I did not resist. I let it be as it pleased in my body.

I did so because once the Devil Skull Mask's intent entered my body, It formed an indirect connection between the Cloaked figure's grimoire and I. I asked my Hive AI to access the indirect link to hack the cloaked figure's grimoire and track the location of the original cloaked Mask figure. And I also asked the Hive AI to check for card info on the cards equipped in the cloaked figures grimoire. This way, I can finally solve the mystery behind the cloaked figure's cloning card and demonic summoning ritual.

While my Hive AI was busy hacking into the cloaked figure's grimoire, the Devil Skull Mask's intent did not spend time searching and scanning my body, but it directly headed for my Ego Gem. Then the malicious intent warped around my Ego gem. As the intent wrapped the Ego gem, I felt like the connection between me and the world weaken. That's when I realized that the malicious intent was trying to begin morphing me from the core, that would be my Ego gem containing my ethereal spirit in it. Despite knowing what the malicious intent was up to, I continued to let it be and did not resist.
