Chapter 683: “Request for Subscription” Dark Demon Moon
Since Angus Jeffrey’s position as the president of the noble history research society was taken over by Edwin Clarissa, his presence had become exceedingly faint.
The last time Dark noticed him was on a Saturday morning, during the all-night search operation. Naturally, Angus Jeffrey was part of it.
However, Professor Shylph, who worked with the “Goddess of Heartful Eyes (Unintelligent),” was responsible for the investigation, so Dark only glanced at him a few times.
Angus Jeffrey didn’t look well; his usually meticulously groomed hair was somewhat messy, and dark circles were visible under his eyes.
If he wasn’t suffering from insomnia, then he must have been staying up late often.
For the previous Angus Jeffrey, this would have been inconceivable.
But after falling from the peak to the bottom, if one doesn’t sink, they can only seek change.
Dark once thought that Angus Jeffrey might have learned to work hard.
And now that he has challenged again, does it mean he has acquired what he believes to be enough strength to win through hard work?
Based on this conjecture, Dark decisively accepted Angus Jeffrey’s challenge!
But afterward, the Dueling Club did not schedule Angus Jeffrey’s challenge for this weekend but postponed it to the following week.
This week, apart from a randomly matched third-year senior from the Dueling Club, Dark’s main opponent was a fourth-year senior named Stewart Fane from the Noble Academy!
Although Stewart Fane was just a fourth-year student, his strength was undeniable, and his “Shadow” deck series was notorious for its unpredictability, making it hard to defend against.
Since the Easter Duel Festival last year, Dark had not come into contact with him.
Eight months should have been enough time for him to undergo a transformation.
He could not be underestimated!
…
After the discussion ended, Dark left the office alone.
His combination with Professor Lily was still intact, but the professors had another tea party to attend… As if everything had returned to normal after the large-scale investigation.
Of course, the students noticed their behavior.
Based on this foundation, the rumors about the investigation ending spread throughout the castle.
Fern Morse, the person involved, ended his treatment on Monday afternoon and returned to class after resting for just one day.
Even without memories related to the “Brain Fluid Demon,” he had roughly understood some things after leaving the infirmary.
However, the fact that he lost to Dark Demon still couldn’t be accepted, so he became even more diligent.
Although the rules of the “Golden Cup” only allowed students to challenge the same person once, if one could stand out in the preliminary rounds and reach the top sixteen, there would be an opportunity to face Dark Demon again!
Because after this battle, Fern Morse was certain that Dark could advance to the top sixteen.
He wanted to prove himself again on a higher stage!
…
Time flows like water, and young people do not waste it.
…
Dark temporarily set aside matters related to this, but he did not return to his dormitory; instead, he went straight to the library.
There were parts of this week’s homework that required researching.
He entered and saw Miss Bella behind the counter, feeling slightly disappointed.
Miss Bella moved the registration form in front of him and smiled kindly, “That child asked for leave, saying she had some experiments to handle.”
Dark’s expression changed slightly, “I hope her research goes well.”
Then he spent the entire afternoon in the library, finishing the homework for the first three days of the week, and sat around until dinner time before leaving the library.
After dinner, he immediately returned to his dormitory and started a new round of research.
Last Monday, he bought new “Magical Beast’s Hair” from Professor Kazel, and these past two days he had been studying the creation and secondary creation of “Magical Beasts.”
The research process went smoothly, and he obtained the second three-star card, the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】, and the third two-star card, the 【Magical Beast: Fantasy Sheep】!
In reality, only the 【Magical Beast: Ibut】, the 【Magical Beast: Ditto】, and the 【Magical Beast: Fantasy Sheep】 among the Mana Spirit Cards successfully underwent secondary creation.
Thus, the research on secondary creation still had a long way to go.
But after warming up a bit tonight, he temporarily put aside the secondary creation research and summoned the “Soul of the Moon Goddess.”
“Soul of the Moon Goddess” was already prepared, sitting solemnly on the chair, with the aura of the moon goddess faintly present.
“Let’s begin.” Dark took a deep breath and said.
“Soul of the Moon Goddess” nodded slightly, raised both hands, and joined them in front of the chest, manifesting the “Moon Goddess Mirror.”
This mirror, which could absorb moonlight and convert it into mana reserves, emitted a divine aura.
The “Soul of the Moon Goddess” stored the “Bliss Moon” collected from the students’ hearts through the “Flower Card” within the “Moon Goddess Mirror.”
Although these “Bliss” were called “Bliss Moon,” they were actually collected from ordinary people and did not truly belong to the “Moon Goddess.”
Just like Dark’s own “Bliss,” strictly speaking, it also did not belong to the “Demon God.”
After all, he was still just a预备役 Demon God.
…
As the faint silver light appeared on the surface of the “Moon Goddess Mirror,” the “Soul of the Moon Goddess” solemnly said, “It’s ready.”
Dark immediately picked up the Mana Dropper, touched the silver light to absorb it, and continuously dripped it into the “Thought Bottle.”
The Mana Dropper could only absorb a very limited amount each time, so this was a task requiring immense patience.
Moreover, a “Advanced Thought Bottle” could only store thirty doses.
Fortunately, Dark had enough “Advanced Thought Bottles,” and after dividing them into six bottles, he finally stored more than 180 points of “Bliss Moon.”
The “Bliss Moon” stored in the “Moon Goddess Mirror” decreased by more than half, and the silver light therefore dimmed.
“Done.”
Dark paused momentarily. These three bottles of “Bliss Moon” should be sufficient for some time.
“Soul of the Moon Goddess” promptly put away the “Moon Goddess Mirror,” akin to a child handing over some pocket money to their parents, revealing a similar expression.
Dark’s lips curled slightly, barely suppressing a smile.
But he quickly focused his attention on studying the “Bliss Moon.”
From now on, every experiment would have a significant impact on his future plans.
Firstly, the nature issue.
He judged that the “Bliss Moon” absorbed through the “Soul of the Moon Goddess” was more compatible with himself compared to the “Bliss Moon” absorbed from the “Statue of the Moon Goddess,” and using it to forge “Capital Sin Cards” would prevent mana spirits from losing control after evolution.
But this was merely a judgment that needed further experimentation to confirm.
The experimental method was simple; he just needed to use it to forge the simplest “Bliss I Moon.”
By observing the effects produced when “Bliss I Moon” acted on the mana spirit, he could make a clear determination.
But after careful consideration, Dark directly forged a “Bliss III Moon!”
Currently, he had two “Bliss III Moon” cards and one uncontrolled “Bliss III Moon.” The latter was gradually being phased out, and he also had one “Bliss III.”
According to the rules of Mana Duel, only three cards of the same name could be stored in a deck.
“Bliss III Moon” and “Bliss III” had noticeable differences in effect; they were not the same name, just like “Blue-Eyes Young White Dragon” and “Blue-Eyes White Dragon.”
But “Bliss III Moon” and “Bliss III Moon” were considered the same name cards and defaulted to “Bliss III Moon.”
Therefore, he could still add another “Bliss III Moon” to the deck.
Considering that “Bliss I” and “Bliss II” had already been phased out, there was no need to specifically forge a Mana Spirit Card for them, so he chose to directly forge “Bliss III Moon.”
In fact, his subsequent plans were based on the premise that the “Bliss Moon” absorbed by the “Soul of the Moon Goddess” perfectly matched his own nature, eliminating the possibility of losing control.
…
From preparation to completion, it took only half an hour. The long-awaited “Capital Sin Card” was finally successfully forged.
It consumed 32 points of “Bliss Moon.”
Dark’s hand now held another “Bliss III Moon.”
“The quality of the ‘Bliss Moon’ varies, and it cannot guarantee a 3:1 quality ratio.”
He had a slight realization and summoned the Imp Beast to prepare for an experiment.
The Imp Beast had been on standby, and it immediately flew down from the perch and landed at the corner of the experimental table.
“In the name of Dark Demon, Mana Summon — ‘Bliss III Moon.'”
After a quick incantation, a faint silver light fell from the sky, illuminating the pink light on the Imp Beast’s face.
As the skull pattern on its head transformed into the “Bliss” emblem, the evolution light engulfed it.
When the light faded, the Imp Beast standing on the experimental table had transformed into a Black Diarumon!
The Black Diarumon’s eyes rolled, suddenly leaping up and landing on Dark’s face with a “thud.”
Dark quickly removed it, confirming that it had not lost control.
This made him smile, full of joy.
…
“There is no issue with the nature.”
He wrote this line in his notebook and decisively began the second round of experiments.
This second round of experiments might be wasted, but it had to be done.
That was the experiment for “Bliss IV Moon!”
Although he had yet to find a breakthrough method for forging “Capital Sin IV,” even a half-finished “Capital Sin IV” could significantly strengthen his lineup.
Whether it was the “Magical Beast: Imp Beast,” “Magical Beast: Agumon,” or “Deoxys,” they could all break through to the third tier with this.
Using this as a basis, the “Demon Fox Beast,” also a Digimon, had the potential to break through and evolve into the complete “Priest Beast!”
Of course, it could also stop short like the “Lion Beast” at the six-star threshold.
In any case, given the large amount of “Bliss Moon” available, regardless of the outcome, Dark would have to attempt it.
He settled his mind and prepared quickly.
This time it took much longer, from preparation to completion, totaling over forty minutes, and finally yielding results.
“It consumed a total of 110 points of ‘Bliss Moon’!”
Looking at the remaining less than two bottles of “Bliss Moon,” Dark indeed wore a satisfied smile.
Because he succeeded.
“Bliss IV Moon” was successfully forged!
Although he clearly felt during the forging process that the quality of the “Bliss Moon” could not keep up with the strength of “Bliss IV,” he managed to forge this half-finished “Bliss IV Moon” by increasing the quantity!
“So, there are benefits to half-finished products.”
Dark couldn’t help but sigh.
His intuition was very clear.
If the final goal was to produce a finished product, this forging experiment might face failure.
Perhaps when the “Soul of the Moon Goddess I” absorbs more root divinity and transforms into “Soul of the Moon Goddess II,” the “Bliss Moon” it absorbs and converts could match the quality required for the finished “Bliss IV.”
But that was certainly not possible now.
Based on this, Dark quickly came up with an idea.
“If I can continuously harvest ‘Bliss Moon,’ I should try to use ‘Bliss Moon’ to forge half-finished ‘Bliss IV’ or Mana Spirit Cards and Item Cards related to ‘Bliss,’ while the ‘Bliss’ I produce myself can be entirely reserved for storage!”
“But currently, it still needs to be verified whether ‘Bliss Moon’ can successfully bear fruit and be used for the forging of Mana Spirit Cards?”
“If successful, then the entire cycle will be completed!”
Dark’s brain raced, completely ignoring the Imp Beast’s eager anticipation.
He placed the “Bliss IV Moon” aside and directly started preparing for the forging of the Mana Spirit Card.
The Imp Beast turned around, secretly annoyed, and flew back to the perch, continuing to hang upside down and observe Dark’s experiment.
It originally thought it would immediately obtain a new evolution form, but it hadn’t expected Dark to not start the experiment right away.
…
Dark pondered briefly and chose the Dragon Grass from among the many cat plants, then brought it onto the balcony. First, he used the Mana Dropper to inject the “Bliss Moon” into the “Worm Branch,” then held it to suck on the branch.
If you’re not ruthless, you won’t stand firm!
The most direct material related to “Bliss” that he possessed was the Fairy-type “Rainbow Dragon’s” dragon blood.
That entire bottle of “Rainbow Dragon Blood” might bring him good fortune.
As the Dragon Grass slowly sucked, buds gradually sprouted on its head, and flowers formed.
The “Bliss Moon” it absorbed reached nearly twenty points.
“Gulp—”
The Dragon Grass surprisingly let out a small belch.
But it continued to greedily suck until it absorbed twenty-five points of “Bliss Moon,” and the “Bliss Flower” on its head finally bloomed!
