The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　"I'll go take a look first!"

　Lily couldn't hold back any longer and immediately spoke up.

　Dak and the others couldn't see anything wrong either, so they could only tell her to be careful.

　Lily then mounted the "Fantasy Fairy Dragon" and flew towards the palace.

　The temple and its gates connect to the main hall, which has three doors. Behind the main hall are the various living quarters.

　Lily entered, circled the edge of the hall, and then observed the two statues for a while before beckoning to the person outside the door.

　The people outside the door exchanged glances and then entered the hall one by one—still without sensing any danger.

　Dark passed through the hall he had seen in his dreams decades ago, carefully approached the two statues, and then beckoned to the "Soul of the Moon Goddess".

　The "Soul of the Moon Goddess" immediately flew forward and absorbed the remaining trace of primordial divinity within the statue of the "Moon-Eating Divine Wolf".

　[Moon Goddess (3%)] → [Moon Goddess (4%)]!

　"4%!"

　"The Soul of the Moon Goddess" seemed very excited.

　But that unsettling, eerie atmosphere grew stronger and stronger.

　Suddenly, Dak's eyelid twitched.

　Without any warning, the light was taken away.

　The little fairies flying in the air did not make a sound.

　Their white light still illuminates this hall that has been buried underground for countless years.

　But all sentient beings standing in this hall have been swallowed by darkness.

　……

　The fear brought about by that sudden change was almost suffocating.

　……

　The light reappeared half a second later.

　With unusual composure, Aoli raised the warhammer in her hand and released the healing light of the "Aries Armor".

　The healing light dispelled the darkness within a meter and illuminated the faces of those nearby.

　The sound, which disappeared at the same time as the light, suddenly returned afterward.

　However, a circle with a radius of one meter is too small, and only Dark, Aurora, "Soul of the Moon Goddess", and "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" are within this range.

　Lily flew ahead, while Angry was further back.

　The little Guhuoniao, "Devimon", "Magnemite" and "Toy Chicken" that were originally sitting on the back of "Armored Rhinoceros" are now sitting a little further to the side.

　A scream suddenly reached my ears after that.

　The moment the light went out, the little Guhuoniao instinctively flew towards where Dak was and slammed into the back of its head with a "smack".

　Then Magnemite and Devimon also flew over in a panic and landed on Dark's left and right shoulders.

　Angry and Lily squeezed in after that, both of them letting out a sigh of relief.

　"My connection with the magical spirits has been severed."

　Professor Lily squeezed in and spoke immediately.

　Aurora and the others frowned suddenly, then nodded in agreement.

　"It seems we are no longer in the temple."

　Lily made an extremely decisive judgment.

　But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at "Little Devimon" and asked in confusion, "Could it be that the familiar is different?"

　The familiars summoned by the Sorting Card are naturally a type of magical spirit.

　The little devil beast bared its teeth at her.

　Dark quickly replied, "It seems this place can only accommodate sentient beings. My 'Dorambaruto' is still in contact."

　Aurora stretched out her hand and pulled out the Sun Elf: "The Elemental Elf is here too."

　Auli waved the warhammer in her hand and said, "The weapons haven't disappeared either."

　Lily immediately pulled out a Magical Spirit card from her card pack and Normal Summoned it.

　However, after her normal summoning spell was successfully cast, the magical spirit in her hand did indeed glow. Yet, the materialized magical spirit was not actually in front of her.

　She grinned and said, "It seems only magical spirits will disappear."

　Dark guessed, "The weapons were able to be brought in because they were treated like clothing, right? And the weapons didn't disappear either."

　Lily nodded. "Yes. It wasn't specifically targeted at the magical spirit, but it was indeed accidentally injured. What do we do next?"

　Ollie whispered, "My Healing Light is a secret technique of the Aries Armor, and it consumes a great deal of energy."

　Both Professor Dark and Professor Lily had witnessed her resurrecting the physical body of the "God of Wisdom" with this healing light, and they were very clear about it.

　Dark said, "Aurie can't last much longer. We need to find a replacement light source, or solve the problem quickly before her magic runs out... but that's difficult. Aurie's healing light can only illuminate a small area. And a replacement light source..."

　His gaze quickly fell upon the Sun Elf in Aurora's palm.

　Aurora had an idea and tossed the Sun Elf into the air.

　The tiny elemental spirit flew upwards, releasing a red light that escaped the range of the healing light, and indeed dispelled more darkness.

　Although its illumination range was smaller than that of the healing light, with a radius of less than half a meter, the fact that it provided a viable and sustainable alternative light source still brought a slight sense of relief to everyone.

　Humans are, after all, beings that live under the sun, and have an innate fear of darkness.

　After calming down a bit, Dark immediately awakened his Sun Elf as well.

　After leaving the front hall, his sun sprite fell back into slumber. But because it hadn't been fed more "Pride," it slept very lightly, and could be awakened with just a gentle touch.

　“Luckily, we have two Sun Elves,” Dark said.

　Lily immediately suggested, "We can send one of them to scout."

　“That’s a good idea.” Darke tossed it out, and at his signal, the Sun Elf released even more red light.

　That red light... almost instantly surpassed Ollie's healing light, illuminating a space with a radius of three meters!

　The feeling is completely different when the illumination range has a radius of three meters compared to that of one meter.

　The "toy chick" abandoned in the darkness finally appeared in the light corner and immediately flapped its wings and pounced on Lily.

　Everyone, including Dak himself, showed a slightly surprised expression.

　Of course, there was also a hint of joy in it.

　This was undoubtedly a very pleasant surprise.

　This result gave Dak a new idea.

　He took out a "Fantasy Beast: Eevee" card from his card pack and summoned it.

　Then take out another "Pride II" card, which has been enhanced with magic runes, and summon it to activate.

　When the radiance of "Pride II" shines on "Eevee: Monster Hunter", the "Pride" emblem appears on its forehead, and its special moves change to "Mimic", "Round Eye (Pride)", "Help", and "Sunny Day (Pride)".

　Dark crouched down, gently stroking Eevee's head, and commanded, "Eevee, use 'Sunny Day'!"

　"Ee-boo—"

　Eevee let out an excited cry, immediately looked up at the sky, and unleashed its Field Move – Sunny Day (Arrogance).

　A bright sphere, as radiant as the sun, rapidly ascended into the sky, like a sunrise, bringing new light to the entire world.

　Under this light, the darkness of this unknown space was immediately dispelled, and the area illuminated by the light expanded from a radius of three meters to a radius of more than ten meters in an instant.

　Although there were no walls or other dividing objects in the light, the vast area of ​​illumination immediately made people feel at ease.

　Dak felt much more at ease.

　Professor Lily tilted her head back and immediately asked, "How long can it last?"

　"Two and a half minutes," Dak said, "but there are many ways to take that."

　As he spoke, he summoned another "Ditto" and transformed it into "Eevee".

　When this "Ditto" releases "Sunny Day (Arrogance)", you can summon a new "Eevee" in advance and have it use "Mimic" to record "Sunny Day (Arrogance)".

　Thanks to his research on "Secondary Alchemy", Dark has enough "Eevee" and "Ditto" to achieve a seamless connection.

　Moreover, besides the arrogance of "Sunny Day," he has other methods... but let's leave that aside for now.

　The Arrogance of "Sunny Day" is not perfect either; its flaw is that the light source it emits cannot be moved.

　Therefore, for normal lighting, the Sun Elf is still needed.

　……

　"Now that we can secure a light source, let's begin our exploration."

　Professor Lily tossed the "toy chick" aside and immediately waved her hand.

　There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

　For her, being brought here by an unknown force from the Central Temple was probably just a change of adventure zone—which has actually become more interesting!

　Perhaps inspired by her emotions, the others also cheered up.

　Dark said, "Let's find the boundary first and see if there's a door."

　Everyone agreed and they immediately set to work.

　Within minutes, they had a more detailed understanding of the area they were in.

　"Based on the information we just obtained, we believe we have been taken to a roughly square space."

　"This space is approximately twenty meters long and wide. The reason the 'Sunny Day' light couldn't reach the boundaries is simply because we were positioned in the very center."

　"There are no landmarks or dangers in this space. But there are doors on three of the walls, and each door has a puzzle on it."

　"The puzzle itself is very simple; anyone who can see it can solve it..."

　"Based on this analysis, this space was likely created specifically for the apostles of the 'Sun-Devouring Lion' and the 'Moon-Eating Wolf,' and only those possessing the power of the sun or moon could dispel this darkness."

　"Following this logic, this place isn't necessarily a dangerous place."

　"The question now is, which door to choose?"

　After Dak finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

　Three doors, three divine messengers.

　If this space is indeed not a dangerous place, then one door per person is the most reasonable arrangement.

　But the reality is that they don't know where they are.

　Even though the three of them had a long lucid dream beforehand, they had forgotten most of it upon waking, and none of them had any recollection of this space.

　Therefore, it's impossible for them to take risks separately.

　“Perhaps we can analyze the puzzle to find information about the passage behind each door?” Lily suggested.

　达克默然道：“如果你能从【1+1=2】、【1+9=10】、【11-0=11】这样的问题中分析出信息，那我们只能甘拜下风。”

　“(?^__^?) Hehe…” Lily scratched her head, trying to get away with being cute.

　After a long pause, Aurora said, "It's really difficult to make a choice when there's almost no information."

　Dark said, "In that case, let's just choose any path."

　As he spoke, he summoned "Magical Beast: God of Destruction" using a normal summoning spell.

　"Fantasy Beast: Destroyer" glanced at "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind" beside it, and immediately beamed with a big smile, saying to Dark, "My dear master, what can I do for you?"

　Dark laughed and said, "Using your 'Declaration of Doom' as a prophecy, which of these three directions should we take?"

　"Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" paused for a moment, and it took him a while to understand what Dark meant. Then he pretended to point in a direction.

　Dark: "Okay, eliminate one option."

　【Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction】: "??"

　Dark: "Choose one of the remaining two directions."
