Chapter 434: Capital Sin Armed? Bliss (4k)
Silver armor, light and thin, wrapped around the slender body, perfectly showcasing the contours of the torso.
The cylindrical sensors at the ears and the arc of the chin formed a V-shape, with a purple visor covering the upper half of the face, revealing only delicate lips and a refined jawline.
That silver mirror had transformed into an amulet inscribed with mysterious runes after being worn.
Dark raised his head slightly, feeling an incredibly light sensation throughout his body as his toes lifted off the ground.
“Is this what armed evolution feels like?”
The surge of power throughout his body made him worry that he might never be able to adapt to his normal state again if he got used to this feeling.
After a moment, he focused on the changes in “Soul of the Moon Goddess I.”
Using “Divine Rank Armed? Moon Goddess” had seemingly transformed this armed card into something similar to a Mana Spirit Card in essence.
Dark’s current form was presented through a Mana Spirit Card.
[Card Name: Moon Goddess (Divine Rank Armed)]
[Type: Elemental Card]
[Level: ????]
[Race: Illusionary Deity Species]
[Attribute: Dark]
[Magic Power: 3000]
[Attack: 3000]
[Defense: 3000]
[Ultimate Skills: Divine Rank Armed, Moon Mirror, Moon Palace Gala, Moon Eclipse.]
“Only four ultimate skills?”
Dark’s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling puzzled by the feedback.
“I thought divine cards would have more than four ultimate skills above gold cards.”
“It seems ‘divine cards’ are not part of the same system as white, blue, purple, orange, and gold.”
“As for the six-star level, it matches expectations.”
“The current Divine Rank Armed is analogous to human-form evolution like ‘Warrior Spirit,’ fitting within the category of mature Digimon, equivalent to second-tier Mana Spirits.”
“As for the attribute… still dark?”
Though “Bliss” fits well with “dark” and “fairy” attributes,
this Moon Goddess gave Dark a sense of “light” even in its normal form.
Even if the evolved “Moon Goddess” became light-type, he wouldn’t be surprised, but he didn’t expect it to remain dark-type.
Additionally, the Moon Goddess’s stats were similar to those of a demon beast, with full stats but no standout traits.
It was satisfactory, but not surprising.
So he quickly turned his attention to the four ultimate skills.
The first ultimate skill— “Divine Rank Armed!”
Clearly, this was likely a universal ultimate skill common to “Divine Rank Armed,” with a passive effect being the most probable.
Dark closed his eyes, carefully sensing, gaining more information.
[Divine Rank Armed: Passive Skill. The wearer gains divine power, not only enhancing their strength but also elevating their rank, making them immune to most change-type ultimate skills. Magic Power +1000, Attack +1000, Defense +1000, Rank +1.]
“This ultimate skill…”
A look of joy appeared in Dark’s eyes.
“A strengthened version of the ‘Sacred Ring’? It really has a divine card feel.”
“Increasing magic, attack, and defense by 1000 each, directly giving the evolved ‘Moon Goddess’ full eight-star stats.”
“Rank +1 further elevates the ‘Moon Goddess’ from the second tier to the third tier.”
“As for immunity to change-type ultimate skills…”
“This means skills like ‘Huhu’s balanced offense and defense’ and ‘Meow’s deception’ won’t affect the ‘Moon Goddess.’ It ensures advantage when the ‘Moon Goddess’ has superior stats.”
“Actually, this may be the core of ‘Divine Rank Armed.'”
Dark quickly digested this information and immediately delved into the second ultimate skill— “Moon Mirror!”
[Moon Mirror: Absorbs moonlight, converting it into magic power, allowing the [Divine Rank Armed: Moon Goddess] to function without consuming the wearer’s magic power in darkness. Even in daylight, stored moonlight can sustain the armed form.
If necessary, all stored moonlight can be released, forming a circular mirror of condensed moonlight, completely blocking attacks for thirty seconds, unaffected by most ultimate skills.]
“An ultimate skill for charging.”
“I see, the ‘Moon Mirror’ acts like an external energy core, supplying power to this [Divine Rank Armed: Moon Goddess]. It also has a function similar to ‘Guard.'”
“With this ‘Moon Mirror,’ even mana spirits without magic recovery capabilities can wear it!”
“Thus, even in duels where mana spirits cannot participate, this armed card can be used. However, which mana spirits can wear it and which cannot requires testing.”
Dark was overjoyed and immediately looked at the third ultimate skill— “Moon Palace Gala.”
In fact, among the four ultimate skills of this “Moon Goddess,” only “Moon Palace Gala” was familiar to Dark.
Because Rose’s “Aurora Moon Rabbit” had this ultimate skill.
[Moon Palace Gala: In the air, it creates a grand and splendid Moon Palace Gala, granting charm and healing bonuses to life forms within its range.
On a full moon night, it can release [Moon Goddess Blessing]… If it’s the [Moon Goddess], it can gain [Alluring Body] and [Praise of Moonlight].]
[Moon Goddess Blessing: Releases a large area healing wave, fully restoring 1/3 of maximum HP to life forms under the moon palace.]
[Alluring Body: Sometimes makes opposite-sex individuals infatuated.]
[Praise of Moonlight: Absorbs moonlight, recovering 1% of maximum magic power per second.]
“This ultimate skill…”
Dark’s eyelids twitched.
This “Moon Palace Gala” was undoubtedly a field spell, but he originally thought it was more for show than practical use. He didn’t expect it to have additional effects on the “Moon Goddess.”
“Alluring Body and Praise of Moonlight…”
Dark raised his hand to look at Deoxys, his fingers twitching, wanting to test it.
But he was already very familiar with “Alluring Body” and didn’t need to test it.
“In any case, the main issue with ‘Moon Palace Gala’ is probably its duration. It can roughly last three minutes and isn’t like ‘Paradise,’ which can be sustained for a long time.”
“But the duration of ‘armed evolution’ is limited anyway, so it’s not a big problem.”
Dark steadied himself and finally looked at the last ultimate skill— “Moon Eclipse.”
[Moon Eclipse: Summons moonlight to attack targets, each beam causing erosion damage and brief dizziness. Up to twelve beams can be summoned. If released during a moonlit night, the power doubles!]
As the final ultimate skill among the four, “Moon Eclipse” was a highly offensive ultimate skill.
In Dark’s understanding, it was equivalent to twelve beams of “Moon Power” with brief dizziness!
Others might struggle with this skill, but “Eevee” would surely handle it masterfully.
Dark pondered for a moment, then suddenly pointed his finger, and a beam of moonlight shot down, striking the ground!
The moonlight was extremely thick, resembling a light column that flooded outward upon impact, creating a visual effect that was shocking.
Dark raised his hand again, and a beam of aurora flashed across the sky, revealing a magnificent moon palace like a mirage.
The moon palace was majestic and beautiful, captivating anyone who looked up.
Dark remained motionless, merely basking in the moonlight emitted by the “Moon Palace Gala,” feeling his consumed magic power rapidly recover.
The instant refilling sensation was truly addictive.
“Although a 1% recovery rate seems low, with 3000 magic power, 1% per second is 30 per second, meaning it can be fully restored in 100 seconds.”
Dark flexed his limbs and, with a single toe push, floated into the sky without hesitation, walking on the void.
This floating ability wasn’t recorded as an ultimate skill, but it was equally impressive.
He immediately started moving in the air.
The moonlight enveloped him, making him light and swift.
His dynamic vision improved, and reactions came naturally.
Originally, “armed transformation” enhanced his abilities; “armed evolution” took it further, making it easy to control.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Dark sensed that “armed evolution” was about to end and reluctantly descended.
Then, he raised his hand slightly, and the mana spirit card “Soul of the Moon Goddess I” appeared in his hand, instantly emitting a large amount of light before all the light was gathered back into the card.
Dark landed lightly under the remaining moonlight, feeling a heavy sensation and slight discomfort.
“Almost done. The cooldown for this Moon Goddess Armed should be around sixty minutes after activation, and it will take about forty-five more minutes to try another armed form.”
Dark smiled faintly at the Mana Spirits that had gathered around him and began cleaning up the remnants of the experiment.
Ten minutes later, he put everything into his backpack, leaving only a set of test tubes and a thought bottle.
At this point, the thought bottle and test tubes were filled with the “Bliss” version of the Moon Goddess. If properly preserved, they could become two “Bliss III Moon.”
Now, he was very confident that mixing his own “Bliss” could indeed improve “Bliss III Moon.”
However, his current “Bliss” index was only 80 points, far from the extraction standard.
Therefore, he couldn’t attempt it yet.
“For now, let’s store it!”
After deciding, Dark placed the test tubes and thought bottle into his backpack, planning to stay in the temple for another half hour until he tested “Capital Sin Armed? Bliss.”
But just as he sat down to rest, he suddenly heard something shattering.
He looked up sharply and saw a long crack appear on the surface of the hollowed-out statue of the Moon Goddess.
Immediately, more fine cracks appeared around it, accompanied by a rumbling sound from inside the statue.
Dark’s expression changed, and he hurriedly retreated.
By the time he reached the temple entrance, the Moon Goddess statue collapsed with a loud crash, turning to dust instantly.
Then, the entire temple shook violently, clearly on the verge of collapse!
“Indeed, without the Moon Goddess’s remaining soul, this temple will not last.”
Dark’s eyes flickered, and he spread out his mana spirit cards in a fan shape. The Mana Spirits surrounding him turned into light and entered the cards, transforming into Imp Beasts and Lion Beasts in an instant.
“Time to go, Lion Beast!”
“Understood.”
Lion Beast bent slightly, using its thick arms to lift Dark onto its shoulder.
Dark sat comfortably, casually recalling the last “Paradise.”
As the light converged, Lion Beast abruptly turned and dashed away, torches lighting up along the passage, illuminating the way ahead.
“Rumble!”
Dark turned his head and saw the grand temple collapsing with a loud crash, clouds of dust rising and engulfing the temple.
…
Afterward, Dark did not linger in the secret path.
Lion Beast ran for nearly three hours, finally emerging from the secret path.
Since curfew time had not arrived, Dark emerged from the secret path exit, storing Lion Beast back into his mana spirit card, then hurried toward the Tower of Noble Academy, entering under the watchful gaze of the Feathered Serpent construct.
The common room was almost empty. He exhaled, passed through the common room, and quickly ascended the stairs.
Soon after, he finally returned to his dormitory.
“Miaow—”
Dark bent down, picked up the MeowMeowGrass that pounced at him, and pulled out the “Mana Book” to summon.
He then entrusted the rest of the summoning work to it.
And he himself, after putting down his backpack, eagerly picked up “Soul of the Moon Goddess I” once more!
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summon!”
The Soul of the Moon Goddess appeared in the summoning circle and curiously looked around, asking, “Is this your bedroom?”
“Sort of.” Dark smiled, saying, “Can I use you one more time?”
Soul of the Moon Goddess: “? ?”
When she turned around in surprise, Dark had already recited the activation words for “Capital Sin Armed? Bliss”: “In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summon!”
The moment he finished speaking, the hammer-like weapon in the Moon Goddess’s hand suddenly glowed.
Including the silver mirror, her body was swiftly absorbed by the hammer-like weapon, leaving only the weapon floating in the air.
“This second form, is it a weapon-type armed?”
Dark’s mind raced, reaching out to grab it, and a wave of information flowed into his brain through the magic power seeping from his fingertips, giving him insight into the weapon.
[Card Name: Aspiration of Bliss (Capital Sin Armed)]
[Type: Item Card]
[Effect: Within the range of Bliss Light, all opponents’ weapons are rendered ineffective and their armed forms are dismantled.]
