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

　But after a period of confusion, the "Golden King," who inherited the throne, worked diligently to restore the kingdom to its former glory. He even transformed it into a land overflowing with gold.

　—That's how it appears on the surface.

　But everything he did was ultimately for the purpose of resurrecting the "King of Heroes".

　Eventually, he succeeded.

　However, what followed was not harmony among the brothers, but rather the same kind of fratricide that had occurred in the past.

　Afterwards, the kingdom split, and the two brothers each became king.

　War broke out amidst internal and external troubles. The "Golden Kingdom" was destroyed and buried in the dust of history for a long time, with only legends, true or false, circulating to this day, and few people have heard of them anymore.

　The "Golden King," who triumphed once again in the final battle, pierced the heart of the "Heroic King" with the "Golden Sword," thus ending the war.

　But behind him, all that remained were endless ruins.

　Although afterwards, the "Golden King" restarted the land transmutation array, restoring the Golden Kingdom... or at least the Golden City, to its original state.

　But the legend of the Golden Kingdom ended there. The revised version of the legend was reenacted in the secret passage. The entire ceremony concluded the moment the "Golden King" pierced the heart of the "Hero King" with the "Golden Sword".

　Everything created by the "dream machine" turned into golden particles and rose upwards at the moment the ceremony ended.

　Dark reappeared at the top of the pyramid, the "diamond-shaped black diamond" in front of him had completely disappeared.

　He opened his eyes, breaking free from the dream. At the same time, the skeletal hand released its grip, and he raised his hand, holding the (ritual card) that had been prepared beforehand for the inscription of the ritual.

　After hovering in the air for half a minute, countless golden particles suddenly surged toward the "Secret Ritual Card" in his hand like a tide.

　Countless golden particles flowed into the "Mystic Card," depicting a golden kingdom on its surface.

　In the silhouette of that golden kingdom, the colossal pyramids stand out most strikingly. Against this backdrop, the "Golden King" sits majestically on his throne, exuding an aura of authority.

　The card surface radiated a strong golden light, with golden power flowing freely. Nearly three minutes later, all the golden particles had merged in, and the surroundings suddenly darkened. The "Mystic Card" in Dark's hand returned to normal.

　The scenes created by the dream-making machine also disappeared along with the gold particles.

　Dark floated down slowly from mid-air, carefully examining the (Mystic Card) in his hand.

　His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

　Professors Cazell and Harvey approached and asked simultaneously, "How did it go? Was it successful?"

　From their perspective, they could naturally see that the ceremony was exceptionally successful. However, "successfully creating a ritual card" and "successfully creating the desired ritual card" are completely different kinds of success.

　Dark frowned and said, "I guess it can be considered a success." As he spoke, he looked at the "Mystic Card" in his hand again.

　But on the card itself were the words "The Eternally Shining Golden Land".

　Now that the "Mystic Card" has been successfully crafted, there is no need to stay in the secret passage any longer.

　Professors Cazell and Harvey had no interest in prying into other people's secrets. After hearing Darke say "success," they both congratulated him and then quickly left the secret passage.

　Having witnessed Dark recreate the legend of the Golden Kingdom tonight, the two were inspired by the details and are now eager to return to the laboratory to conduct experiments.

　"I'll head back to my dorm now."

　Dak smiled and said goodbye to the two professors, but returned to the tower and quickly entered dormitory 301.

　After closing the door, he took out the "Eternally Shining Golden Land" again to examine it further.

　"The eternally shining golden land" is not a phrase created out of thin air.

　In Yu-Gi-Oh!, it is a trap card belonging to the "Golden Kingdom" deck.

　However, after being transformed into a Ritual Card, the effect of this Magic Card was completely changed.

　v

　Card Name: The Eternally Shining Golden Land [[Type: Ritual Card]]

　[Effect: When you control a (Golden Kingdom) Magical Spirit, you can choose one of the following effects.]

　【Effect ①: Within the Duel Realm, when a Duelist's Magical Spirit uses a Special Move against a Magical Spirit from the (Golden Kingdom), one of their own (Undead) Magical Spirits must be sacrificed to activate this effect. The Special Move is negated, and the sacrificed Magical Spirit is sent to the Graveyard.】

　【Effect 2: Within the Duel Realm, you can Tribute one of your Elite Four Spells to Special Summon one Undead Spell from your Graveyard. This Undead Spell cannot have a higher Level than the Tributed Elite Spell. If the Undead Spell is also an Elite, there is no Level restriction.】

　[Note: Only one of these Ritual cards can be activated per turn.]

　"Effect 1: Funeral procession."

　"Effect ②: Resurrection."

　"Through reincarnation, Huang Quan will live forever."

　Darkmo gazed at the card, pondering the meaning behind this "Mystic Card".

Chapter 1137 The Golden Kingdom of Darkdemon (5k)

　Of all the students at the summer camp, the most free-spirited was undoubtedly Darko Dimon.

　Even if the other students don't have any subjects they want to study all day, they still have to stay in the classroom obediently.

　But Dark doesn't need it.

　When he felt that the afternoon dueling practice could no longer help him, he simply stopped going to the afternoon dueling practice altogether.

　On August 11th, aside from spending some time bringing Aurora back to the academy, he spent the entire day working overtime in the laboratory of the "Hidden Place".

　Professor Steven Harvey's creation of a white mouse spirit has been alive for over a week.

　Professor Kazel's "Golden Magic Stone" has also produced a prototype. Dark, following behind, has been involved in both sides' research.

　The mice he created with Professor Harvey's help have also been able to survive for 24 hours.

　However, his understanding of the Gold Transmutation Array is still very superficial, only at the very beginning.

　But there is nothing we can do about it.

　Once you have enough "grave elements" to create a "Heroic Spirit", the rest is just a matter of talent and skill.

　According to Professor Kazel, he has an unexpectedly strong talent for necromancy, and if the operation is up to par, it is possible to create "heroic spirits".

　However, understanding the gold transmutation circle requires more than just thinking ability; it also requires a foundation of knowledge in alchemy.

　Dark was able to get a basic understanding of alchemy in such a short time thanks to the ancient alchemy techniques he learned in the pyramids.

　However, once he completes the necessary understanding of the gold alchemy circle, he will actually have a greater advantage than Professor Kazel in the subsequent creation of "golden potions" and "golden magic stones."

　Because he himself possesses the power of gold, his perception of it is stronger than Professor Kazel's.

　Once you can create the "Golden Magic Stone", you can start making the "Golden Golem".

　Unfortunately, fully understanding the Gold Transmutation Array is extremely difficult; at the current pace, it's anyone's guess how long it will take.

　Therefore, Dark chose to take a different approach, starting with magical transmutation. That is, he first tried to create magical spirits, and then used that to improve his understanding of the Gold Transmutation Array.

　During this period of time, he has been preparing for this whenever he has free time.

　Today, all the materials are ready, and the experiment can begin at any time.

　On the morning of August 12th, after resting and recuperating, Dark Demon finally began the magical crafting process centered on the "Golden Kingdom".

　He certainly wouldn't aim too high, so his initial targets remained the mass-produced "Golden Land Soldiers," "Golden Land Raiders," and "Golden Land Guardians."

　Although these three monsters are essentially "trap cards," Dark still chose to attempt to forge them as magical spirits.

　This time, the transmutation method used a slightly modified transmutation formula based on the "Basic Transmutation Method" and combined with the "Directed Transmutation Method".

　Simply put, it's about minimizing randomness and further highlighting the "Golden Kingdom" element.

　The "Basic Refining Method" uses the [Undead - Light System]. The [Undead - Light System] is extremely special, and this part alone can narrow down the scope to a certain extent.

　The main materials selected were "Golden Magic Stone - Prototype", "Tomb Element", "Gold Products from the Golden Kingdom", and some materials collected from "Golden Elemental Species".

　In addition, given Dark's unique characteristics, the probability of creating "Golden Land Soldiers," "Golden Land Raiders," or "Golden Land Guardians" will increase significantly.

　Thanks to his long-term experience in "directed transmutation," he was able to write the corresponding transmutation equation.

　His first target was the "Guardian of the Golden City," the highest-ranking of the three monsters!

　In Yu-Gi-Oh!, "Golden City Guardian" is an 8-star Light-attribute Undead, while "Golden City Raider" and "Golden City Guardian" are only 5-star Light-attribute Undead.

　However, from a realistic perspective, the "Golden Saber-toothed Beast" that corresponds to the "Guardian of the Golden Land" is merely a golden elemental species somewhere between the "Golden Mummy" and the "Golden Horse Knight".

　The "Golden Horse Knight" corresponds to the "Golden Land Soldier." The "Golden Land Thief" corresponds to the "Golden Land Excavator." But Dark certainly doesn't have a living material like the "Golden Land Thief," as that would be a forbidden blood sacrifice.

　Therefore, he first used materials collected from the "Golden Saber-toothed Beast".

　The "Golden Saber-toothed Beast" and the "Guardian of the Golden Land" have almost identical physical characteristics, making them the most compatible pair.

　Based on the "Sabertooth Tiger" element, "Cat Grass" can also be used directly to cultivate "Greed Fruit".

　Dak handled the materials carefully and began the experiment around 8:30 a.m.

　Then at nine o'clock in the morning, he experienced his first failure in this semi-directional training.

　Basic (Random) Transmutation is accompanied by a high degree of uncertainty. Targeted Transmutation, on the other hand, has a higher probability of failure than Basic Transmutation.

　Fortunately, it wasn't time to implement the [Greed Fruit (Cat)] yet. Dark had already prepared himself mentally, so after the experiment failed, he quickly summarized, adjusted, and optimized, and then swiftly launched the second experiment.

　Anyway, there's plenty of "Gravestone Elements" and a good number of "Golden Magic Stones - Prototypes," but the materials obtainable from "Golden Saber-toothed Beasts" are indeed limited.

　—We still need to be a little more frugal.

　nine thirty.

　Dak began the second experiment. At 11:00 AM, the experiment was successful.

　Regardless of what was ultimately created, this experiment did produce a result. Dark calmly took the magic card to the pool to rinse it. As the solidified gold on the magic card was carefully removed, the entire card surface was finally revealed.

　A hint of surprise appeared on Dark's face. "Is this what randomness is?"

　But what was depicted on the surface of that magic card was none other than a notorious thief from the Golden Land!

　The goal was to become the "Guardian of the Golden Land," but what he ultimately became was the "Gravedigger of the Golden Land."

　Whether this was good or bad luck, Dak couldn't help but take a deep breath.

　The "Gravedigger of the Golden City" on the card has a slightly different outfit than what you'd expect from a Yu-Gi-Oh! card.

　Although both characters wield curved swords and have ferocious appearances, this "Golden Land Grave Digger" outfit is more similar to the Golden Land Bandit of the Death Desert.

　Moreover, Dark saw a hint of "Lone Ranger" Harry in it.

　Of course, this refers to Harry after he has been completely golden.

　Speaking of Harry.

　In the final stage of his conquest of the Golden City, Harry, emulating the Golden King, climbed the steps from the base of the pyramid to the top, only to mysteriously disappear. It remains unclear whether he became part of a ritual to awaken the Golden King or suffered some other fate.

　Dak looked up at the top of the card.

　"Undead," attribute "Ground." Card name "Grave Digger of the Golden Land." "A Ground-type Grave Digger of the Golden Land"—this is indeed unexpected.

　Without the "Light" attribute, the race and attribute combination of the "Golden Land Grave Digger" are no longer special.

　But in reality, this has little impact.

　Dark hesitated for a moment, then channeled his magic to examine its detailed data.

　Card Name: Gravedigger of the Golden Lands Type: Elf Card Level: eB3 Race: Undead Attribute: Ground Mana: 1000 Attack: 1800 Defense: 1500

　[Ultimate Techniques: Alchemy Ritual, Grave Digging, Golden Sacrifice, Desert Ambush]

　Despite using so many rare materials, the final result was only a three-star magic card.

　This disparity would likely have caused other archmages to despair upon seeing the star rating.

　—Although this is actually a mage's daily routine of "card gambling," Dark didn't seem to care much.

　Samsung has its advantages, but four-star and five-star ratings are actually more awkward.

　This "Golden Gravedigger" has the same attack and defense stats as the "Golden Gravedigger" from Yu-Gi-Oh!, making it particularly outstanding among three-star magical Pokémon.

　However, its magic is relatively weak, and its fleshiness is not actually that high.

　However, the panel attributes end here. Whether you can build a "Golden Kingdom" deck with it mainly depends on the "ultimate skill".

　Dark immediately channeled his magic to examine the area more closely.

　The first special attack of "Golden Land Gravedigger" is called (Alchemy Ritual).
