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

　The "Super Predator" can increase its stomach attack and defense to a terrifying 9000 points.

　This means that even a regular twelve-star magical spirit, without considering its ultimate attack, cannot escape its stomach.

　Furthermore, it possesses the unique ability to restore its magic power through predation. Its final finishing move is "Rampaging Feast."

　[Rampaging Feast: Gluttonous Slime III enters a rampage state, gaining skill immunity, nullifying most transformation-type special attacks targeting it, and greatly increasing its movement speed. While in rampage state, Gluttonous Slime III's every attack is imbued with the Feast effect, dealing additional damage based on the target's maximum HP, while simultaneously restoring a certain amount of its own HP (or MP).]

　The bonus damage from "Feast" is 30% of the target's maximum health, and the recovery ability is 1% of the target's maximum health.

　The extra damage and health regeneration may not seem like much, but in reality... they really aren't much.

　However, it can ignore skill immunity and deal true damage to the target. This makes it an irreplaceable and precious ultimate skill.

　In short, the strength of "Gluttonous Slime II" is unexpectedly high. As long as you craft a few high-attribute "Slimes", you can quickly turn it into a gluttonous monster in actual combat.

　However, in Magic Duel, it still needs a complete "Slime" deck to unleash its full potential.

　This is not that difficult.

　But Dark doesn't have that space for the time being.

　If I have some free time in the future, I can study it and build a "Slime" deck for fun.

　Now, there are even more important experimental tasks ahead of us.

　After testing the evolution data of "Gluttonous Slime", Dark took out another notebook and continued to study "Moonstone".

　He studies "life-forming magical spirits" during the day and "moonstones" at night, and has gradually made some progress in recent days.

　As for the "Rage" rune, it has already been roughly finalized. We just need to accumulate ten points of "Rage" to directly create "Rage III I". Then, we can make adjustments based on it, and accumulate another thirty points of "Rage" to create (Rage IV).

　The research on the "Great Sin Card" needs to be done step by step. At present, we can only skip "I" and then start the process from "II".

　The success rate of directly refining to "Ⅳ" is extremely low; one should not put the cart before the horse.

　When the time came, he extracted a "bliss" from his brain, increasing his "bliss" reserves to 102.5 points.

　Looking at the 102.5 points of "Ecstasy" stored in the specially made mind bottle, Dark couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion.

　If this large bottle of "Bliss" were used in the beginning when only a small amount could be extracted at a time, it would take a full 103 days to extract it. Divided into 10 days per month, that would be 11 months, almost a year.

　This much "Bliss" can only supply enough for one experiment. If even the slightest mistake occurs in the creation of "Bliss V" and leads to failure, a large amount of this painstakingly accumulated "Bliss" will be lost.

　Just thinking about it made him feel a sense of dread. He shook his head slightly, trying to shake off the feeling.

　The only way to increase the probability of success is to be well prepared.

　The more in-depth the research on the "Moonstone" in his possession and its connection to "Elysium V" is, the more likely he is to succeed.

　His current approach is to extract the divinity from that "Moonstone," retain its form, and use it as the core.

　Then, multiple layers of "Paradise" magic runes are inscribed around the core, allowing "Paradise V" to enter the realm of the gods.

　He considered the entire design approach quite feasible. However, the first issue to be addressed was the difference in materials.

　After this period of research, he discovered that the "Moonstone" given to him by Claire, while possessing the divinity of both the goddess of love and the moon goddess, had an extremely high compatibility with "Elysium".

　Even with a 99% success rate, there's still a 1% margin of error. In a completely unknown objective design, even a 1% error can lead to the failure of the final experiment.

　So he had to find a way to reduce that one percent to 0.1 percent, or even less.

　His current idea is to soak the "Moonstone" in "Elysium" to slowly change its mood.

　However, if the Moonstone is placed directly into a Mind Bottle filled with Elysium, it is difficult to prevent the Elysium from being corrupted.

　This behavior was so foolish that he immediately dismissed it the moment he thought of it.

　He then began to consider whether to soak the "Moonstone" in the "Paradise Version of Elysium".

　"Paradise Version of Bliss" is the closest to his own "bliss" and is relatively feasible.

　However, since there was only one "Moonstone" of this caliber, and the experiment was a one-way street, he hesitated a lot.

　Until tonight, he realized he could no longer hesitate.

　"The god who is in charge of both love and the moon."

　"If I really fail, I'll go find the temple of the robe!" With that thought, Dark finally made up his mind.

　He first extracted a certain amount of the "Paradise Version of Elysium" that he had accumulated over a long period of time and put it into a special mind bottle. Then he soaked the "Moon Stone" in it, and then quickly sealed it up to observe it carefully.

　One minute, two minutes...

　After nearly half an hour of observation, there was basically no change.

　Dak took a deep breath, shoved the bottle into the cabinet, and locked it securely. Looking at it any further would only disturb his concentration.

　He planned to wait until he returned from this trip to observe the changes.

　……

　The next day.

　Dak took some time to visit the temple of the god of wisdom and observe its construction.

　Then he took the intelligence data from the maid.

　Finally, they found Victoria and Phoenix and inquired about their studies.

　He spent the rest of his time in the hidden laboratory. Shirley Augustine officially joined the experiment today.

　However, for now, he joins as an "assistant" rather than a "guinea pig." Soon, night will come.

　In his final draw in March, Dark chose "Greed".

　Because the "greed" value is too high, it must be reduced.

　After this draw, the "Greed" reserve increased to 39 points.

　It was exactly 11 p.m.

　Dark arrived at the Dragon Training Platform and met up with Ergani. The two boarded the "Moon Chariot" and quickly drove into the night.

　The flight from St. Mary's College to the Temple of Life normally takes twenty hours, and we are scheduled to arrive at 9 p.m. tomorrow.

　Inside the "Moon Goddess's Chariot" are the eyes of the "Sun and Moon Serpent," symbolizing the sun, and behind it is a huge carriage filled with the flesh of the "Sun and Moon Serpent."

　Because there wasn't much residual energy in the snake meat, Professor Kazel extracted a large amount of snake meat and concentrated it, which eventually resulted in a whole train car full of "concentrated snake meat".

　In addition, Professor Sylph also provided some other divine ingredients.

　That's St. Mary's Academy's most valuable reserve; it's best not to use it if possible.

　The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping.

　After laying out the bedding in the carriage, Dak crawled under the covers and took out the data to continue his unfinished research.

　Ergani quietly slipped into his side and also began to read by lamplight.

　She remained as indifferent as ever, but somehow she had changed into a pink bunny pajama set.

　It is unknown which relative offered this as a tribute to the deity.

　She put on the hat, and the fluffy rabbit could even stand upright, depending on its mood.

　swing.

　Dak couldn't help but glance at it, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.

Chapter 1461 Darkdemon's Intelligence Guide (4k)

　At two o'clock in the morning, the air gradually became humid.

　Suddenly, a torrential downpour began, raindrops falling onto the barrier with a crackling sound.

　[Moon Goddess's Chariot] suddenly enters the rain, as if traveling through the apocalypse.

　I drew back the curtains and looked out the window. The rain was continuous and rushing past, as if I were in the middle of the ocean.

　The world was silent except for the rain, a strange stillness pervading the air. Dak, reading, grew weary, his eyelids fluttering a few times before he drifted off to sleep.

　The sound of turning pages stopped abruptly. Ergani was still holding the book, but she no longer turned the pages. As the lights went out, the carriage went dark instantly. Then there was no more sound.

　A few hours later, the "Lunar Chariot" flew from the rainy day into the clear day, and the morning light shone in, dispelling the lingering gloom of the night.

　Once the two woke up one after the other, the carriage regained its liveliness. They washed up, ate, and had a cup of coffee.

　Dark read through the various intelligence reports from the Duke's mansion as if they were newspapers, casually exchanging ideas with Ergani.

　The growth of the "God of Wisdom" is evident to all, making one marvel at the existence of such beings as "gods" in this world.

　Ergani's insights are often enlightening.

　In the two months since Christmas, the competition for "resources" among various forces has intensified.

　Although the matter of the "Demon King" remains unresolved, it seems to have been forgotten by all parties involved.

　Everyone was chasing after the "miracle."

　Because "miracles" occur at unpredictable times and locations, many without any prior indication, no single power can "monopolize" them.

　Moreover, some "miracles" only appear for a specific person or certain individuals, and cannot be stolen by anyone who wants to.

　For example, the ruins of the British Empire can only be opened by people like Aurora who possess the bloodline of the "Sun Giant".

　Even Professor Jones, who possesses the bloodline of the "Mountain Giant," was unable to activate the "magic door."

　Inevitably, this world contains various residual bloodlines that even the individuals involved themselves are unaware of.

　Guided by their bloodline, they can always find the "property" left by their ancestors.

　Of course, this situation is not entirely a good thing.

　Being possessed or having one's body taken over are already considered very normal phenomena. Some people have just found ruins and thought it was "the spirit of their ancestors appearing," only to be killed by their "ancestors."

　In such cases, it might be because they cannot bear the blessings of their "ancestors," or it might be because their "ancestors" wanted to sever their bloodline, or it might even be out of some kind of pure instinct.

　After all, they are "connected by blood," and certain beings that are neither gods nor demons in a semi-conscious state will instinctively feel "favor" towards their descendants who possess their bloodline.

　Driven by the hunger of just waking up, this "good feeling" could very well be mistaken for a liking for "food".

　Anyway, with just two lips, it was eaten.

　The world may appear calm on the surface, but turbulent waves are already surging beneath the surface.

　The information that Dark could obtain was ultimately limited to human territory. Outside of human territory, many more "miracles" were happening, and some were even unnoticed.

　To put it simply, that black soil that once belonged to the demon race is a desert that humans have never explored.

　Even in the seas far from land, there is no sign of "tranquility".

　Based on current intelligence, the sea creatures are clearly not content with being alone.

　They are not only stirring up trouble at sea, but there are also many signs of them venturing onto land.

　In one of the Orc kingdoms, rumors even circulated about "subterranean people."

　The legend of "underground people" has existed since ancient times.

　However, because this world actually contains a series of creatures that live underground, such as ratmen, goblins, and dark elves, they are often confused with each other.

　But those in the know understand that the "subterranean people" have always existed. Their most significant difference from the "surface people" is that they have no eyes. The eyes of the "subterranean people" have completely degenerated and disappeared from their faces, replaced by a special sensory organ located in their brains.

　Their habitat is located "deep underground," far beyond the depths that humans can reach.

　So.

　The "underground" and the "surface" are actually two completely different worlds. But no matter how far apart these two worlds are, if you want to forcibly connect them, all you need is a "portal".

　Apart from lacking eyes, the "subterranean people" are almost identical to humans in appearance.

　They are also divided into various races, including pure-blooded humans, lunar humans, and even subhuman races with fins like sea creatures.

　Therefore, they only need to cover their eyes with a strip of cloth to easily blend into human communities.

　If you don't blend into the crowd, you'll find it even less.

　After all, there are still many uninhabited areas on this continent. If all else fails, you can just sneak into the demon territory and you won't be discovered at all.

　Of course, the information about "underground people" is currently only fragmented, and it is possible that it is just a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives.

　However, as the exploration of various "miracles" deepened, the Duke's Mansion had become aware of the existence of the "divine realm" and the potential impact of the existence of "divine oracle".

　"God's Realm" can be said to be a small world created by the gods, existing based on the real world.

　If it were just a "divine realm" used to store temples, like the one where the young Quetzalcoatl later brought the Temple of Life there, that would be fine.
