Chapter 227: The Utmost Desire of the Greedy Eevee
“Chirp chirp, chirp chirp!”
Dak quickly grabbed the roots of the little imp beast’s wings to prevent its greedy face from lunging towards the drawer containing the small red flower.
Although snatching the red flower was meaningless, the little imp beast’s mind was already filled with blatant greed and could no longer think clearly.
Above its forehead, the emblem representing “Greed” was glowing.
The emblem for “Pride” was red, but after being refined into a card, its color became dark gold.
The emblem for “Bliss” was green, but after refinement, it turned pink.
However, the emblem for “Greed” was purple, and after refinement, it became blue!
Blue was originally the color of the sky, but the blue of “Greed II” had a somber tone, which inevitably stirred up desire.
“Eevee!”
“Mew (>^ω^<)!"
As Eevee wrapped the little imp beast in a ribbon antenna, leaving only its head exposed like a zongzi, Dak finally freed his hands.
He picked up pen and paper, carefully observing the little imp beast's forehead for a while before drawing down the emblem of "Greed."
In the center of the "Greed" emblem was a lock-like mark, above which was an astronomical symbol representing Saturn—a symbol similar to "h."
Around the outer edge of the emblem were English words:
LEVEL-666;
SYSTEM:MAMMON;
CODE:GREED;
Below the emblem, inside the inner circle, were these words:
CAUTION! PURGATORY LEVEL 5;
...
Outer circle:
Level-666;
System: Mammon;
Code: Greed;
Inner circle:
Warning! Purgatory Level 5;
...
Fifteen minutes later, the little imp beast returned to normal and received a reward of a small red flower.
After an hour, the cooldown for "Greed II" was over, and Dak summoned the little Eevee.
Eevee, who had witnessed the entire embarrassing scene of the little imp beast, obediently crawled into Dak's arms, extending its small tongue to lick its owner's face, hoping to receive leniency.
Dak was still a beginner demon god, so he merely activated "Greed II" on it, and little Eevee licked even more enthusiastically!
"Goo ee goo ee!"
Under the influence of "Greed II," Eevee unsurprisingly upgraded from one star to two stars.
[Card Name: Magical Beast]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ??]
[Race: Avian-beast Kin]
[Attribute: Normal]
[Mana: 500]
[Attack: 700]
[Defense: 300]
[Ultimate Skill: Mimic, Full Moon, Desire]
...
Unchanging mimicry, greedy gaze, utmost desire!
-[Ultimate Skill: Full Moon]
-[Full Moon: Eevee gazes at the opponent with a greedy look, making them feel constrained and lowering their attack desire.]
Perhaps this is what full moon does—achieving the same effect through different means!
-[Ultimate Skill: Desire]
-[Desire: Approaching the opponent cutely while attacking, and also stealing any items they carry.]
Replacing the "help" of "Pride II" is the "desire" of "Greed II"!
"Desire? So it's like having three hands?"
...
Before the duration of "Greed II" expired, Dak called for the little imp beast to assist with the experiment.
"Eevee, use desire!"
"Goo ee ee—"
Eevee immediately gave a friendly call to the little imp beast, then made a standard gesture of a beckoning cat, suddenly touching the little imp beast!
The little imp beast froze, feeling a chill on its head as its beloved hat appeared in little Eevee's claws!
"Give it back!"
The little imp beast instantly let out a wail and lunged forward!
...
"Truly remarkable!"
Dak felt a surge of joy. While "Desire" as an attack skill was weak, it had unexpected additional effects.
The description of the ultimate skill as "stealing" was not literal theft but a method of taking objects from afar.
This effect must have its limitations. For example, if the opponent held tightly or locked with mana, it would be difficult to steal.
On the other hand, as a mana elemental, Eevee's "Desire" might not only steal physical objects but also items manifested by item cards!
To verify this, Dak took out a tool he had never used since obtaining it—the "Revealing Powder"!
After a successful summon, he held a tiny bottle of silver powder in his hand.
Scattering or smashing this powder could reveal ghosts or invisible objects within a small area.
When Eevee touched him, it somehow managed to grab the "Revealing Powder"!
"If potions can be stolen, what about equipment, weapons, or armor?"
Dak's thoughts suddenly became expansive.
Eevee's "Desire" skill seemed to transform in his eyes, becoming a "stripping skill"!
"Sins! Sins!"
"Temperance! Temperance!"
...
Regardless, the creation of "Greed II" was undoubtedly a great success.
Later, before going to sleep, Dak used "Greed II" again, this time targeting the "Trash Slime."
As the only mana elemental in his deck without much autonomous thinking, Dak was deeply concerned about it.
However, the "Pride" and "Bliss" series of capital sin cards had almost no effect on the "Trash Slime."
To this end, Dak specifically looked up information about slimes in the library.
Slimes were essentially very simple life forms, but their simplicity endowed them with immense potential.
They could be considered a perfect embodiment of Darwin's theory of evolution.
Affected by food, environment, genetics, and other factors, slime populations would evolve adaptively according to Darwin's theory, developing numerous branches of slimes.
The "Trash Slime" was one such branch.
Slimes generally had three characteristics: transformation, combination, and consumption!
The "Trash Slime" specialized in the consumption characteristic.
Therefore, among the seven deadly sins, the one most compatible with "Trash Slime" should be "Gluttony"!
And secondarily, it might be "Greed"!
Given that "Gluttony" couldn't yet extract anything, the "Greed" series of capital sin cards offered the greatest hope.
"Hurry hurry!"
Ditto cautiously watched its baby from the bed's edge, also hoping it could become smarter.
"Mana Summon!"
With the completion of a regular summon, a faint blue light was released from the card of "Greed II." The light gradually intensified, enveloping the trash slime.
No matter when, the trash slime always resembled a green puddle of sticky liquid, but finally, some changes occurred!
Its body gradually swelled, transforming from a liquid state to a jelly-like consistency, and its body color changed from green to a bluish-green.
"Puu yoh?"
The card of the "Trash Slime" unexpectedly upgraded from one star to two stars!
Even the "Card Name" had changed!
