When it comes to card creation I have made a point to do my best and create the perfect card. I was going to do the same right now. As for the time constraints, I decided to face it as always, by dividing labor between myself and my mutated souls. 

However, there was a problem with this tactic as one of my slave consciousness was in the World Seed nurturing the excellent-grade phantom sword mushroom spawns I was growing. Having planned to go all out for the creation of the card, I decisively summoned back the slave consciousness from the World Seed card. 

Then while my three slave consciousnesses transferred the soul pathways of the Bloody Veins and Nyon Rope into the common core, I and Hive AI came up with the most efficient plan to create a card that was a combination of both the Blood Tracing Lasso card and the Blood Binding Lasso card. After a few thousand simulations run by Hive AI, we came up with the best recipe for the creation of the combination card and how to plan for the division of labor between my mutated souls and me. 

While I used Hive AI to separate the soul pathways responsible for blood tracking, Vampirism, Paralyzation, and pseudo-consciousness in the Vapamiric Grass Blade monster from the soul pathways of the Bloody Veins, I had my mutated souls use the Hive AI to recover the soul pathways of the damaged brak fibers of the human flesh tree monster used to create the Nyon. Such that I will be able to extract soul pathways of abilities related to the human flesh tree monster from the soul pathways of the Nyon rope. 

Why did I give my three souls' consciousnesses a single job, to recover the damaged soul pathways of the fibers used to create Nyon Rope? That was because recovery of the soul pathway was a very tedious, energy-consuming, and timing-consuming act. So I assigned three men to this task so that they could share the burden and complete the recovery of the soul pathways three times faster. 

One had to understand that by recovering the soul pathways of the fibers used to create the G-rank, Mortal-Grade, Nyon Rope, I would be able to return it to its original rank, E-rank, Common-grade, Nyon Rope. This recovery process would have been faster if I had Wood Wisp cores and essence at my disposal but this was the challenge I did not have the luxury to use them instead I had to use my soul energy to recover the soul pathways. 

By the time I was done with segregation of the soul pathways responsible for blood tracking, Vampirism, Paralyzation, and pseudo-consciousness in the Vapamiric Grass Blade monster from the soul pathways of the Bloody Veins my mutated souls had already recovered the damaged soul pathways of the Nyon rope and had already started their second labor.

My mutated souls were right now separating the soul pathways that allowed the Human flesh tree monster to germinate and take root in the human body from the soul pathways of the brak fibers used to create the Nyon Rope. Because I was going use this ability to grant the lasso I planned to create the ability to bind the target by entering and taking root in their body. 

p?nd?---no??1,?o? Meanwhile, I used the remains of the Soul pathways of Bloody Veins and Nyon Rope to create a new rope that would be strong enough to house the various abilities I planned to grant it. I achieved this by combining the soul pathways of the fibers of Bloody Veins with the fibers of the Nyon Rope i.e. the soul pathways of the brak fibers of the human flesh tree. 

The soul pathways of both these fibers were about 95 percent match to each other. Therefore, it was not hard to find the right combination to combine the soul pathways of these two fibers such that the resulting Rope will not only have high tensile strength but also be able to carry the various ability I planned to add to it. 

By the time I was on creating the base soul pathway arrangement for the Lasso item card, the mutated souls had also completed their second labor. 

Now all I had to do was add the soul pathways of the various abilities I had collected from the Vampiric Grass Blade and Human Flesh Tree monsters to the base soul pathway arrangement in such a way that the resulting card should have near-perfect durability and lost star rating possible. 

Thanks to the thousands of simulations conducted by Hive AI I did not have to waste time thinking of an accurate soul pathway arrangement. It had already generated the most efficient soul pathway arrangement for the item card. All my mutated souls and I had to do was follow the recipe to the dot, then I will have created the card with near-perfect card durability and minimum card rating. 

With with everything laid out for us by the Hive AI, I and my three slave consciousnesses began to carefully add the soul pathways of abilities like blood tracking, vampirism, pseudo-consciousness, etc, to the base soul pathway arrangement. Once all the abilities were added, I checked on the pseudo-consciousness, to see how astute it was. 

The pseudo-consciousness was the ability of the Vampiric Grass Blade monster which allowed it to use its abilities like blood tracing and paralyzation to trap and feed on its prey. 

I was granting pseudo-consciousness to the lasso-type item card I was creating so that it would be able to use the blood feed to it to track and bind the target. 

After little scrutiny, I found that the pseudo-consciousness ability of the lasso will only allow it to become an extension of the user's body, something like a whip but on its own, it was only good for binding the target and nothing else. 

Considering the ingredients I had at my disposal this was already the best I could do unless I used my mastery of the blood rule.
