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

　Sure enough, all the data except for the card name, star rating, and magic power have changed!

　"In this respect, it's not much different from the real Ditto; the skills are exactly the same."

　"2200 defense is more than enough to serve as an initial sacrifice."

　"But each of Shuttle's special moves consumes 100 magic points, while Ditto only has 100 magic points."

　"This is just like Eevee's special move, Mimic; after using it, the user is gone."

　"To use a special attack while ensuring survival, you need to equip yourself with a 'power potion' or similar charging card."

　"This is nothing in actual combat."

　"But it would be a burden in a duel."

　Dark carefully considered the versatility of Ditto, then took out Pride II and Elysium III.

　Pride and Elysium series magic cards have proven to be largely ineffective against "Trash Slime", "Potpot", and "Milky Jar".

　However, Dark believes that Ditto, as a magical beast, possesses different possibilities than magical creatures such as "Trash Slime" and "Junker".

　So he was full of anticipation before the experiment began.

　He first used "Pride II".

　Ditto's personality suddenly changed, and he became less clingy.

　However, upon checking the magic card, it was discovered that only the magic power stat had changed to 200.

　"No, it's still in transformation mode!"

　Dark suddenly realized what was happening and immediately ordered him to deactivate the transformation.

　And after the transformation was stopped, Ditto's stats indeed changed completely!

　Card Name: Ditto (Magic Beast)

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Elemental]

　【属性：一般系】

　【Magic Power: 200】

　[Attack: 200]

　[Defense: 200]

　[Ultimate Move: Transformer, Transformation]

　"Just like Eevee, under the effect of 'Pride II,' Ditto became a two-star Pokémon, and its Attack and Defense stats all increased to 200!"

　For a two-star Magical Spirit, a waist of 200 points is quite embarrassing, but it is twice the initial stats of Ditto.

　This means that after it transforms into "Pot Pot" in this form, it can unleash at least one ultimate move!

　The changes in star ratings also gave Dark a glimpse into a possibility!

　"Could it be..."

　He suddenly became excited.

　……

　In order to prevent "Pride II" from affecting the observation of "Elysium III", Dark waited until the effect of "Pride II" disappeared.

　He then immediately activated "Elysium III"!

　Bathed in pink light, the emblem of "Elysium" appeared in the center of Ditto's abdomen. Then, its stats began to rise at a visible rate!

　Card Name: Ditto (Magic Beast)

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　【grade:】

　[Race: Elemental]

　【属性：一般系】

　【Magic Power: 400】

　[Attack: 400]

　[Defense: 400]

　[Ultimate Move: Transformer, Transformation]

　"Four stars, 400 magic power!"

　Of course, this is not the point.

　Dark immediately channeled a wisp of magic into the device and received feedback on the ultimate technique.

　"As expected, the target range of the 'Transformation' skill is still limited to magical spirits of the same tier! This means that Ditto can now transform into four- to six-star magical spirits after using 'Elysium III'!"

　"Moreover, although 400 magic points may not seem like much, it's enough to use multiple skills!"

　Next, Dark summoned Sylveon to conduct an experiment and found that it was indeed the case!

　While excited, he also felt a little regretful.

　If you previously used "Elysium III: Moon", you can now enjoy the fun of "Sylveon" x3.

　……

　In general.

　"Ditto: Magical Beast," Dark's third gold card, may have significant flaws in its design. However, with the added bonus of the Sin series magic cards, it truly deserves its gold card status.

　Great harvest!

　Unfortunately, while both "Dittomon" and "Devimon" are top-tier Magical Monster cards, they are only one-star. Although they have great potential, their base stats are not very good, and in some situations they are still inferior to two-star or three-star Magical Monster cards.

　Dark still lacks two-star and three-star units capable of direct combat.

　So, how can you refine the two-star or three-star items you need?

　Dak fell into deep thought.

Chapter 186 Darkdemon's Accumulated Strength Unleashed (4k)

　After dinner.

　Dak listed out the core resources he had left.

　① "Arrogance" 1 point.

　② The feathers of the harpy

　③ Mermaid scales

　④ Button-shaped eyes for teddy bears.

　Apart from the fourth one, which is a Christmas gift intended for Diana, the other three can be used as needed.

　In fact, the first thing Dark thought of when he obtained "Harpie's Feather" was a magic card from Yu-Gi-Oh! - "Harpie's Feather Duster"!

　But that's obviously impractical.

　There are too many elements required to create a magic card.

　Dark was able to forge the "Cage of Curses" because there were ready-made tutorials, and even the spells that needed to be written had a basic framework.

　If you try to create a spell that doesn't exist in the first place, you're just asking for trouble.

　So a more practical idea is to take a gamble using "Harpie Feather" to see if we can create a low-star card from the "Harpie" series.

　As for the mermaid's scales, they were naturally refined in the direction of a mermaid.

　Mermaids are the symbol of envy in the Seven Deadly Sins, but unfortunately, Dark's envy is so little that it cannot be utilized in the short term.

　But it doesn't matter anymore.

　After careful consideration, Dak decided to bet on the card!

　There is always a price to pay on the road to growth.

　Even if we fail, losing a little material is no big deal.

　But what if it succeeds?

　Who knows, there might be some unexpected gains?

　Do it when you think of it.

　Dak glanced at the wall clock; it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.

　If we're fast enough, we can finish both experiments before nine o'clock.

　He quickly began preparations.

　The basic transmutation method is the transmutation method with the highest degree of randomness.

　If you're lucky enough and use precious materials, you might even be able to craft a high-star Magic Spirit Card!

　Of course, the probability is very, very low.

　Basically, it's like buying lottery tickets; it falls into the category of "stupidity tax."

　Therefore, limiting the rarity of materials to a certain range and aiming for first-tier magic cards is the most appropriate and practical approach.

　Dark spent half an hour completing the initial production of the first magic card. After activating the first transmutation circle, he began to add the core materials.

　First and foremost, of course, is "the harpy's feather".

　Perhaps the power contained in the "Harp's Feather" was already sufficient. Just by placing this one feather in, the light of the first transmutation array was already extremely strong.

　Before the transmutation was complete, Dark did not forget to add a drop of saliva he had prepared beforehand, as instructed by the professor of magic theory.

　"Saliva" is actually an excellent catalyst in the process of refining magical spirit cards.

　Because human saliva contains a wealth of elements that can promote the formation of life.

　The effects of saliva are obvious.

　The light from Alchemy Array No. 1 quickly subsided after reaching its peak.

　Then, some black impurities seeped out from the card surface and gradually covered the magic card.

　Two minutes later, the magic card finally stopped reacting.

　Dark took out his tools, carefully scraped off some of the black impurities covering the magic card, then picked it up with tweezers and rinsed it under the tap for a while.

　As most of the surface stains were washed away, the edges of the magic card were revealed, gradually emitting a faint blue glow.

　"It's a blue card!"

　Dak's mind raced, and a look of delight crossed his face.

　He certainly wasn't dreaming of a gold card; as long as it wasn't a white card, he was already making a huge profit!

　……

　after awhile.

　Dark placed the washed magic cards on the table and examined them carefully.

　The image on the card was not the harpy he had imagined, but rather a "wrestling eagle man" that was more like an "eagle"!

　Hawkman is a type of Pokémon that stands less than a meter tall and looks like a wrestler wearing an eagle headgear.

　Its face has a blue-green mask-like pattern, and its head is made up of three orange feathers standing upright.

　With its wings spread wide, red on the outside and green on the inside, it resembles a cloak and looks quite dashing.

　"It's a Samsung card!"

　……

　Card Name: Hawkman

　[Type: Spirit Card]
