Chapter 860: Joint Evolution! Ultimate Form!
Upon entering the tower and returning to the dormitory, Darc continued to remove the Cat Grass plants clinging to him while searching for the Imp Beast.
Perhaps because he had returned earlier than usual tonight, the Imp Beast had not yet arrived. Instead, he saw Diluvemon diligently reading.
Recently, as the opponents’ levels increased, Diluvemon’s appearance opportunities had decreased.
When constructing his deck, Darc also considered the unsuitability of the Four-Star Mana Spirits.
However, these were inevitable evolutions brought about by the current system of Mana Duels.
Three-star, Six-star, and Nine-star Mana Spirits were most favored within the current Sacrificial Summoning framework.
Other Mana Spirits, unless they had irreplaceable special functions, were rarely added to duelists’ decks.
Of course, this situation could change.
For instance, the Magic Beasts: Ebut and Ditto, reacquired their tickets through secondary refinement.
Thanks to Darc’s unique ability to transfer the consciousness of Mana Spirits to corresponding Mana Cards, he could perfectly avoid the risk of destroying Mana Spirit Cards during secondary refinement.
Thus, Diluvemon’s return to the stage was just a matter of time.
“Come here, Diluvemon.”
Darc waved at Diluvemon.
Diluvemon put down the pen and tilted its head, asking, “Meow?”
Since Darc mastered the Beast Speech Book, Diluvemon had become less inclined to speak human language.
Darc sighed, “I want to do an experiment.”
“Ow.” Diluvemon responded, jumping off the chair.
Unable to refuse the reason for cooperating with the experiment, Diluvemon approached.
Darc waited until it got closer, then suddenly grabbed its armpits, lifting it onto his knees.
Despite looking annoyed, Diluvemon sat obediently.
But the “experiment” Darc mentioned never began.
— Of course not, after all, the Imp Beast hadn’t returned yet.
Darc rubbed Diluvemon’s soft belly and squeezed its elastic paws, enjoying it until the Imp Beast flew in from the balcony.
“Hey?” The Imp Beast flew into the room, landing on the corner of the table.
Darc clapped his hands and said, “Let’s do an experiment.”
…
The Imp Beast and Diluvemon had already undergone fusion evolution before.
The evolved Black Diarumon could fuse with Diluvemon to form the complete form of Bastemon.
After Darc’s brief explanation, both Mana Spirits immediately understood.
No matter what, obtaining a stronger evolutionary form was highly valued by both Mana Spirits.
Especially since this evolutionary form was the legendary Ultimate Form!
For Digital Monsters, the Ultimate Form represented the pinnacle of evolution, the ultimate goal for all Digital Monsters.
As for the so-called Super Ultimate Form beyond the Ultimate Form, it was an extraordinary concept beyond ordinary Digital Monsters’ comprehension.
“Is it necessary to evolve into Demoness Beast this time?” the Imp Beast blinked and asked.
Darc countered, “Don’t you like it?”
The Imp Beast shook its head vigorously, indicating it would always be the owner’s faithful companion.
“Hmph.” Diluvemon sat on Darc’s lap, crossing its arms and smirking.
Darc looked around, signaling to other Mana Spirits, who then removed the Cat Grass plants and moved away slightly.
At this moment, Darc drew a Mana Card from his deck and summoned the Demon King: Alastor first.
Mana Spirits weren’t unfamiliar with Demon King: Alastor, and they felt no fear towards him.
Demon King: Alastor was often summoned to “assist” in experiments, even though he felt stifled inside, he gradually got used to it under various prohibitions.
Of course, that was only surface compliance.
However, Darc had issued a “silence order,” so even if Demon King: Alastor had any thoughts, he couldn’t express them.
After summoning Demon King: Alastor, Darc ordered him to stand aside and then proceeded to summon Demon King: Eldridge.
Mana Spirits knew about his itinerary; they knew he was doing an experiment to refine Demon King No. 2 today, so they guessed he was summoning Demon King No. 2.
They whispered among themselves, speculating.
But no matter how they speculated, they couldn’t imagine that Demon King No. 2, after being refined, would turn out to be a cat!
“In the name of Darc Demon, I sacrifice summon — Demon King: Eldridge!”
When the small black cat emerged from the Sacrificial Summoning array, the entire scene fell silent.
Especially Demon King: Alastor’s eyes nearly popped out!
Even if Demon King No. 2 turned into a cat, Demon King No. 1 recognized him at first glance.
Yet, at the same time, a sense of schadenfreude suddenly arose within him, as if his current predicament wasn’t so unbearable anymore.
“I will summon the Fusion Gospel!”
Darc suddenly addressed Demon King: Alastor.
He didn’t wait for Demon King: Alastor’s agreement and issued a forced command.
Demon King: Alastor could only obey, sacrificing Demon King: Eldridge to summon the Fusion Gospel lv4.
After the small kitten was sacrificed, Darc held a book the size of a Mana Book.
His eyes narrowed as he felt the flowing mana within the Fusion Gospel lv4, gaining sudden insight.
“Indeed, from this Fusion Gospel, I might be able to understand some refining ideas related to Advanced Fusion!”
Advanced Fusion was the upgraded version of the Fusion Mana Card.
Any Mana Spirit ultimately refined to a level higher than nine stars required Advanced Fusion.
Conversely, Advanced Fusion’s refinement difficulty was also extremely high.
From what Darc knew, Senior Pandora had been researching Advanced Fusion for a long time but had yet to achieve success.
As for what Senior Pandora intended to use Advanced Fusion for, Darc could only say that those who understood knew, and those who didn’t wouldn’t.
But if Advanced Fusion could be achieved, it would be much more convenient than summoning Fusion Gospel lv3 or lv4.
Therefore, Darc’s planned schedule included refining Advanced Fusion.
However, it was a long and arduous journey.
With Fusion Gospel lv4 as the foundation, he could first observe the existence of Mositismon, formed by the fusion and evolution of Celestial Beast and Demoness Beast!
After all, summoning Fusion Gospel lv4 came at the cost of sacrificing Demon King: Eldridge… which was probably not worth it.
Whether in Mana Duels or actual battles, such a sacrifice was unlikely to be implemented.
Darc pondered for a moment, then took out Arrogance IV and Bliss IV to activate.
Arrogance IV was incomplete but sufficient to evolve Diluvemon into Celestial Beast — although only a Seven-star Celestial Beast.
Bliss IV was complete, but due to the insufficient base strength of Imp Beast, it could only evolve into an Eight-star Demoness Beast.
This might affect Mositismon’s final strength, but it should suffice for observation and testing.
Darc methodically summoned each one, and once Imp Beast and Diluvemon had respectively evolved into Demoness Beast and Celestial Beast, he solemnly activated Fusion Gospel lv4.
No additional mana was needed.
After activation, Fusion Gospel lv4 automatically flipped open.
Countless pages flipped rapidly, and a massive spell circle unfolded on the pages.
Demoness Beast and Celestial Beast exchanged glances, then snorted coldly and turned their heads.
In the next instant, the two Mana Spirits transformed into black and white streams of light under the guidance of Fusion Gospel lv4, flying into the large spell circle on the pages.
Once the two fusion materials flew into the book, Fusion Gospel lv4 suddenly closed, stood up, and rotated once before opening again, revealing a completely different spell circle.
This new spell circle was more mysterious and complex.
It projected onto the empty space in front of the book.
Then, the Mana Spirit resulting from the fusion of Demoness Beast and Celestial Beast debuted in the interplay of light and darkness.
…
“This is Mositismon?”
Darc raised his head slightly, examining Mositismon carefully.
Mositismon was also known as Chaos God Beast.
By definition, it was the embodiment of light and darkness, both divine and demonic.
Though it was a combination of angelic and fallen angelic types, it belonged to the angelic type.
In the Digital Monster setting, it was the leader of angelic and fallen angelic tribes, capable of manipulating light and dark energies freely, possessing powers beyond time and space, and… having a pure heart!
Surprisingly, Mositismon’s aura was very stable and peaceful, making it quite comfortable.
Its appearance was that of a twelve-winged armored angel, with the left side symbolizing darkness and the right side symbolizing light.
Despite lacking gender, it had distinct female contours, and its characteristic features were quite exaggerated.
Unfortunately, like Celestial Beast and Demoness Beast, its face was also covered by armor.
Darc retrieved the floating Fusion Gospel lv4, injecting mana to examine it.
Sure enough, he obtained some data related to Mositismon from this fusion gospel.
[Card Name: Mositismon]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ★★★★★★★★★★★★]
[Race: Angelic Type]
[Attributes: Light/Dark]
[Mana: 8000]
[Attack: 8000]
[Defense: 8000]
[Ultimate Skills: Chaos Angel, Holy Hope, Dark Despair, Chaos Decadence]
“Indeed, Mositismon is a dual-attribute angelic type!”
Darc looked at Mositismon’s race first, understanding immediately.
Mositismon’s first impression was like a pure angel, unaffected by its half-dark attribute.
Although its nickname was Chaos God Beast and it had a skill called Chaos Angel in its list of ultimate skills, it remained very peaceful.
Perhaps… it was because the balance between light and dark within it was perfect, giving its aura such stability.
Darc’s gaze shifted to Mositismon’s offensive and defensive stats.
“Standard balanced stats, and even higher by a thousand points… wait, this is an Eleven-star Mana Spirit?”
A brief surprise appeared in his eyes.
Mositismon’s stats were too perfect, even surprising Darc himself.
At Eleven-star rather than Twelve-star, it was largely consistent with the expectation that it still had untapped potential.
However, each stat being fifteen hundred points higher than the standard perfect value was still somewhat exaggerated.
A quick calculation showed that even combined, the stats of Demon King: Alastor and Demon King: Eldridge at full twelve-star were five hundred points lower!
If it reached Twelve-star, wouldn’t it be even higher?
Darc couldn’t help but look up at Mositismon.
This Ultimate Form Digital Monster stood quietly after evolving, with a calm personality completely different from Imp Beast and Diluvemon.
Moreover, unlike when it was Bastemon, Arrogance dominated over Bliss in its composition.
Comparing the two, Darc immediately realized that if Mositismon became a complete Twelve-star, the proportion of Arrogance might increase even more.
At that point, the balance might no longer be as it is now.
But balance and chaos were merely characteristics.
Darc quickly focused on Mositismon’s ultimate skills.
As expected, the first ultimate skill of Mositismon was a passive skill showcasing its rank — Chaos Angel!
[Chaos Angel: Mositismon is a combination of light and dark, an angel and a fallen angel. It naturally possesses immense power above angels and fallen angels. Mana +1000, Attack +1000, Defense +1000, Rank +1, has immunity to certain change-type ultimate skills. Reduces damage from attacks by twenty percent against angels and fallen angels. Reduces damage from light and dark attributes by thirty percent, and can convert fifty percent of the absorbed damage into mana.]
“Excellent, [Rank +1]!”
[Rank +1] was a sign of reaching the Divine Tier.
Mositismon’s power was undeniable!
However, compared to Demon Kings, it was slightly regrettable that it lacked the angel halo that could enhance angels or fallen angels.
Darc felt a slight regret and continued to look at Mositismon’s next ultimate skill.
…
…
[Good morning, I accidentally fell asleep and woke up at 5:30 AM. My soul almost left my body, and I nearly had to use another sick leave. Sigh.]
