Cuth Diya shared the list of the ingredients for the array that Chaos Dwarf planned to set up with his father, Devil Muth Diya. However, he was confused to find that most of the ingredients were of SSS-rank, Ezra was of the demon master realm so he could not help but wonder how Ezra planned to use SSS-rank ingredients to set up the array formation.

Unlike Cuth Diya, Muth Diya had experience with array formation, and going through the list of ingredients he found that the array formation that Ezra planned to arrange were typical space isolation and soul energy gathering array formation. But then thinking of it for more than a second, he realized inside an isolated space it would indeed be easier for Cuth Diya to focus on title demon core forging. As for the soul energy gathering array formation, it did as named. So in a way, the dwarf did not lie to him. 

Muth Diya was not happy about it but what could he do, this particular Chaos Dwarf's identity was special. As long as the faction wanted him, he could not do anything to him. Swallowing his dissatisfaction Muth Diya used his devil merchant codex to procure the ingredients listed in the list. Once all of them were procured he placed the ingredients on the stone platform and said, "Master Ezra, I have procured the ingredients you wanted do you need any help arranging the space isolation and soul energy gathering array formations?" 

"Yes, prepare the offering for me to employ the devil merchant code to set up an SSS-rank Isolation array formation and an SSS-rank soul energy gathering formation," since devil Muth Diya was kind enough to hint that he knew what the two array formations he was setting up were, Wyatt blatantly declared what he was up to. 

Demigod Handsome Fox alternated his gaze between Muth Diya and Ezra in amusement, devil Muth Diya's subtle reactions toward Ezra's actions amusing and entertaining. 

"Sure," as time passed Muth Diya was finding it harder to control himself, the chaos dwarf was just too much. He prepared the required offering for the creation of two SSS-rank array formations he asked the dwarf, "Master Ezra, are you sure the space isolation array formation is necessary? It will be harder to monitor the progress of the forging process and help Cuth Diya control the backlash in case he were to fail the forging of his title demon core using the foreign method." 

"That will not be necessary, I will be there at every turn to guide him and to help him when needed," Wyatt rejected Muth Diya. The reason he was setting up the space isolation array formation in the first place was to keep him from monitoring the forging process.

Wyatt used his devil merchant code and employed it to set up the two SSS-rank array formations. However, he found that it costs a lot more offering to set up an SSS-rank array formation here compared to in his seed world. In his seed world, the devil merchant code charged five devil-grade ingredients to set up a large-scale SSS-rank array formation but here in the Way Beyond it nearly took about 50 devil-grade ingredients worth of offering to set up a small-scale SSS-rank array formation.

Previously, Wyatt had never tried to employ the devil merchant code to create an array formation outside of the seed world so had no idea why the price differed so much in comparison. When he confronted the devil merchant code about this he was informed that the offering for the creation of the SSS-rank array varied on type of array, location, and size. 

This astonished Wyatt were much. It appears, that if Wyatt had wanted to create the same arrays in the Dark Realm it would have cost him a lot more. For reasons unknown, the pricing seemed to somehow increase with the strength of the will of the realm where the array was being set up. So, in comparison to the card world and the dark realm, his seed world seemed to be the cheapest location to employ the devil merchant code to set up array formations. 

"Okay, devil Muth Diya, I will first go through the various processes of the foreign title demon core with Cuth Diya. Then based on his preference, I will send you the list of ingredients required for forging the title demon," Wyatt informed Muth Diya as Devil merchant code set up the two SSS-rank arrays with the stone platform at the centre. 

"How can there be various processes? Master Ezra, didn't I give only one foreign method to forge his title demon core?" Muth Diya was puzzled to hear Ezra say that there were different processes for Cuth Diya to choose from to forge his title demon core. He wondered if Cuth Diya had shared the original foreign forging method with Ezra. 

"Yes, there is only one foreign method to forge the title demon core that your son shared with me but this foreign method is not tailored for your tribe's physique so I have optimized it based on your tribe's title demon core forging method. Hence increasing the chance of Cuth Diya forging a title demon core using the foreign method," Wyatt explained. 

Unlike the ego gem of the Card apprentice which focused on the ethereal spirit of the Card apprentice the demon core and the title demon core of the demons focused on their physical body. Hence they gained a huge boost to their physical body when they forged their demon core and title demon core. This was why each dark race had its own title demon core forging method and rarely derailed from it unless in special circumstances. 

"Master Ezra, will this compromise the effects of the foreign forging method?" Muth Diya asked in concern. 

"Do you mean the physical and spiritual boost promised by the foreign forging method? If so, then no, it will not be compromised."
