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

　Dark picked up the "Magic Brain Dropper," extracted a drop of "Paradise Version of Elysium" from the Mind Bottle, and carefully dripped it into the light array of Alchemy Array Number One.

　The pinkish glow rippled outwards like water, gently spreading in all directions. The entire smelting environment was gradually adjusted to the most suitable state. Then he began to put the various pre-processed materials into it and refine them one by one.

　Compared to the materials used to forge "Demon King No. 1", the materials used in this experiment were more refined, and more complex materials were used.

　In other words, the difficulty of forging has been increased significantly.

　However, Dark's ability to use and understand these materials has also improved significantly. Even the amount of magic he possesses and his ability to control it have made great strides in this month.

　With the help of mana-restoring potions and concentration potions, he still methodically refined all the rare materials that were usually hard to find.

　This smelting process lasted a full two hours. Towards the end, Dark began drinking the "Phoenix Blood Potion." But he wasn't panicked, because even this amount of magic power consumption was within his calculations.

　To ensure the optimal environment for smelting, he also continuously adds "Paradise Version of Elysium".

　The entire refining process is quite different from before.

　"Come again."

　He reached out, and Ergani handed him the second bottle of "Phoenix Blood Potion".

　He drank it all in one gulp and threw the most crucial material for this fusion—the soul consciousness of "Demon King No. 2"—along with the golem used to seal it, into the continuously glowing transmutation circle.

　Everything, including this golem, was custom-made.

　The golem acts like an insulating layer, preventing the "Demon King No. 2" from being directly burned by the "high-temperature flames" while trapped in the dream world. Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, it is destined to perish in its descent into depravity.

　This is to prevent "Demon King No. 2" from being stimulated and awakened like "Demon King No. 1".

　The golem did indeed play a role to some extent.

　The soul consciousness of "Demon King No. 2" only struggled to awaken suddenly when K poured over sixty points of "Paradise Version of Elysium" into the transmutation circle.

　However, at this moment, the alchemy array had already been transformed into a dedicated space resembling a "paradise" by the effects of those sixty-odd points of "paradise version of bliss".

　As the master of this place, Dark has complete control over it.

　Once awakened, "Demon King No. 2" was like someone who had jumped into the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain, unable to escape no matter how hard it struggled.

　Moreover, it was already extremely weak at this point.

　Dark, who had a deep understanding of the "Soul Curse," perfectly suppressed his soul consciousness this time.

　Then he sneered and poured all the remaining "Paradise Version of Elysium" from the two mind bottles into the bottle and stir-fried it over high heat!

　He drank another mouthful of "Phoenix Blood Potion".

　Under the suppression of 120 points of "Paradise Version of Elysium", the soul consciousness of "Demon King No. 2" finally gave up and was completely refined by it.

　The professors, who had been watching all this tensely, suddenly relaxed. At this point, with Dark's abilities, there was no way he could afford to make a mistake! Compared to when he forged "Demon King Number One".

　This transmutation experiment took more than six hours. However, during those six hours, Dark completed it flawlessly and in one go, demonstrating a level of control far exceeding that of the previous experiment!

　This terrifying rate of evolution is inseparable from the blessing of the god of wisdom, but it is also inseparable from his own talent and hard work.

　"call!"

　In that instant, the light of the transmutation array suddenly burst forth, illuminating the entire laboratory in a blinding white.

　Then the light collapsed and suddenly contracted.

　On the table, there was only one magic card, wrapped in a cocoon of light.

　Completed!

　The sounds in the laboratory fell silent instantly.

　Only the cocoon of light enveloping the magic cards shimmered with radiance, as if breathing.

　Dark watched the halo of light silently, waiting for the answer to be revealed.

　Today's refining went more smoothly than expected.

　So much so that he couldn't help but wonder if something unexpected might go wrong at this final moment—after all, it wasn't uncommon for someone to die suddenly at the last step of magic alchemy.

　Perhaps based on this consideration, everyone else also kept their eyes fixed on the cocoon of light, instead of offering any excited congratulations.

　After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, the cocoon of light gradually stopped flashing, only maintaining a faint white light.

　"It should be successful."

　Professor Kazel suddenly spoke.

　As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the laboratory suddenly came to a standstill. "They succeeded on the first try!"

　Witt, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but jump up. His action was the most exaggerated, but no one found it annoying.

　The crowd that had been watching from the other side also came in one after another, and smiles began to appear on their faces.

　But Dark didn't immediately cut open the cocoon of light. His fingers moved the mercury knife as he continued to wait.

　A few minutes later, when everyone else was already speculating about what kind of magical spirit would be created, Dark picked up his knife and carefully cut open the cocoon of light.

　A surge of magical power erupted, instantly bursting through the cocoon of light. The foul liquid that had accumulated within the cocoon exploded and flowed out rapidly. Professor Harvey, who was waiting nearby, immediately retrieved a container and collected the liquid.

　Professor Cazell, meanwhile, waved his wand, dispelling the toxins that had seeped into the air.

　The forging of magic cards is fraught with various dangers. Especially when forging various poison-type magical spirits, the mage must prepare antidotes in advance.

　Of course, the presence of toxins does not necessarily mean it is a poison-type magical spirit.

　Dark used a mercury knife to shave off the impurities stuck to the magic card, and then used tweezers to pick it up and rinse it in the pool.

　After he rinsed it clean, Professor Harvey took a bottle of potion from the side and poured it over the magic card again, saying, "Wash it again."

　Dak nodded and rinsed it again.

　Only then did he bring the magic card closer, and the people around him crowded around.

　"Demon King Aldridge," Professor Mitya read out the name of the magic card.

　"One star, two stars... twelve stars! This time it's a twelve-star magical spirit too!" Witt shouted excitedly.

　"Still a demon species, dark type?" Professor Sylph frowned. "Pfft!" Aurora suddenly cried out, then immediately realized what was happening and covered her mouth, her cheeks turning red.

　Dark looked at the Magic Card and couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

　In summary, this magic card named "Demon King Aldrich" is exactly the same as "Demon King Aleister" in terms of card name composition, level, race, and attribute.

　Considering the Demon Lord's full name—Aleister Eldridge—it's clear that these two magic cards can essentially be seen as products that split the Demon Lord in two.

　Therefore, it would be perfectly reasonable if "Demon King Aldridge" and "Demon King Aleister" had the exact same appearance.

　However, something unreasonable happened.

　The demon species curled up in the magic card was not a tall and strong demon king, but... a jet-black cat!

　The cat, curled up in the corner like a lump of coal, had only a cluster of retracted, blood-red bat wings on its back. Otherwise, its silhouette was no different from that of an ordinary kitten.

　If you look closely, you'll also find that it's a breed of short-legged, round-faced cat...

　However, we can't make a definitive judgment until its face is fully turned. Perhaps its face is a rosy, peach-shaped monkey face?

　You agree, Aldridge.

　Dark held back a gag rising in his throat. "This is a good thing."

　"Professor Cazell spoke suddenly," he said, floating in mid-air with his arms crossed. Dark looked up and asked, "What do you mean?"

　Professor Cazell chuckled and said, "Didn't you always worry that 'Demon King Aleister' would be easily recognizable? Since this 'Demon King Aldrich' doesn't actually resemble the Demon King, then it can be summoned to the public."

　Before Dark could react, Professor Sylph immediately warned, "Absolutely forbidden in academy competitions!"

　Dark couldn't help but laugh and said, "How could that be? After all, this is not a magical spirit that I created on my own. I won't use it in the academy's competition."

　But once you leave the academy, the sky's the limit!

　"Demon King Aldrich", a twelve-star magical spirit card in the form of a black cat!

　As long as the card name is changed, even if it is summoned in front of the Holy Church, those bishops and archbishops will not be able to recognize it... at most they will only suspect it.

　But what's the use of doubting?

　Who would believe that the Demon King could be transformed into a magical spirit card? That's utterly absurd!

　Such a thing is impossible in this world! So, use it with confidence!

　Dak's smile gradually brightened.

　“I think,” Professor Harvey joked, “you can start thinking about what name to give it.”

　Dark quickly said, "No rush, we need to check first whether its memories and other things are intact after it was transformed into a magical spirit."

　Although in the few times Dark achieved soul transmutation, the final product always retained memories of its previous life, there weren't enough samples to directly confirm this.

　If this "Demon King Aldrich" also retains complete memories, then the prohibition imposed on it must be sufficiently comprehensive.

　It's much more troublesome than "Demon King Aleister".

　"Before confirming the summoning, let's look at its specific information," Professor Kazel advised.

　The special skills of magical spirits often bring variables, and it is the right choice to make a judgment after understanding the specific information.

　Dak nodded and walked to the lab table, preparing to write down all the information as he had done last time.

　First, there's the basic attribute list. Dark infuses magic and awaits feedback.

　Card Name: Demon King Aldrich [Type: Elf Card]

　[Level: co88oooeoooo] [Race: Demon]

　"Attribute: Dark" [Magic: 8000] [Attack: 7500] [Defense: 8000]

　Ultimate Techniques: Demon King, Devourer, God-Eating Beast, Flames of Sin

　"The standard maximum value for the three attributes of a twelve-star magical spirit is seven thousand points."

　"This means that every single one of the stats for this 'Demon King Aldrich' character exceeds the maximum possible value."

　"Compared to 'Demon King Aleister,' its magic power is 1,000 points lower, but its defense is 1,000 points higher."

　"In most cases, the stats of 'Demon King Aldridge' are slightly advantageous."

　Dark quickly scanned the three attributes and wrote them down one by one.

　Then he focused his attention on "Demon King Aldrich's" ultimate attack. As a twelve-star magical spirit, "Demon King Aldrich" naturally had four ultimate attacks.

　And its first ultimate move, unsurprisingly, is a passive ultimate move called "Demon King".

　In simple terms, the effect of "Demon King" is to increase magic attack and defense by 1000 points each, increase the rank of the magic spirit, grant immunity to change-type ultimate skills, and possess the "Demon King Aura".

　Based on the experiment on "Demon King Aleister", the "Demon King Aura" also has an effect on the Demon King himself, which will cause the Demon King's three attributes to increase by 1500 points each after being stacked.

　However, theoretically speaking, the "Demon King Aura" of "Demon King Aleister" and the "Demon King Aldridge" cannot be combined.

　This will definitely be something we need to try in future experiments.

　"9500, 9000, 9500."

　Professor Kazel reported its final attributes.

　Dark exclaimed, "9500 points of defense is completely invisible from its body."

　Professor Kazel said, "Perhaps it only appears small in the magic card, but when actually summoned, it is a mountain-sized creature."

　Darko: "It's not impossible."

　After he finished speaking, he glanced at the little black cat in the card and saw that it was still curled up in the corner without any reaction. He couldn't help but wonder if it had inherited the memories of "Demon King No. 2".

　He couldn't help but shake his head, then looked at "Demon King Aldridge's" second ultimate move.

　In that instant, an idea suddenly struck.

　He couldn't help but blurt out, "Wait, the Demon King? Does Aldridge count as a demon?"

　Professor Kazel asked doubtfully, "Of course it counts, it's a Demon King." Dark's heart skipped a beat, and he whispered, "Then I already possess a fifth-tier demon...?"

　His words came suddenly, but everyone present was quick-witted and made the connection almost immediately.

　Professor Kazel's expression also turned slightly serious: "Using a fifth-tier demon as a sacrifice can summon a 'Fusion Scripture Lv.5,' from which the highest-ranking magical spirit can be summoned is the sixth tier."

　Vitter belatedly realized what was happening and suddenly exclaimed, "The 'Fusion Codex' of the 'Demon King Aleister'!"

　“I think so,” Ophelia Brad patted his shoulder gently.
