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

　Prior to that, any mage who wanted to participate could register. This World Cup Duel Challenge preliminary round was a true open selection, with no requirements other than being a mage.

　If you lack the skill but still want to participate in the excitement on the world stage, then this World Cup Duel Challenge is a rare... and perhaps only, opportunity.

　Moreover, there have long been rumors that those who perform exceptionally well in this World Cup may be favored by the gods and thus embark on an extraordinary life.

　This was undoubtedly a pivotal moment that would change the course of fate. As a result, mages from all over the world flocked to it.

　When Dark temporarily ended the experiment, it was already the seventh day of April. By then, they had successfully used the advanced "Life Beast? Fire Seed" to cultivate a human body with extremely high affinity for ice elements, and had modified it to look exactly like Sherry Augustine... perhaps even more perfect than her original appearance.

　However, to say that this is a body possessing her original bloodline is definitely not true.

　It can only be described as a physical body that was replicated based on her memories, with the same appearance.

　But at least her soul and consciousness belong to herself.

　After successfully cultivating the physical body, Professor Harvey extracted the soul from the "parasite" rice's body and stitched it back into the physical body.

　The suturing technique he mastered by dissecting the body of "Sewing Corpse Demon" Rororo has been perfected through repeated experiments.

　No mistakes were found in this suturing.

　The final product performed perfectly in subsequent tests.

　This minimizes the inevitable rejection reaction between different souls and bodies.

　In theory, the final adaptation steps can be completed entirely through pre-planned rehabilitation and conditioning.

　However, whether it will ultimately produce unforeseen consequences remains to be seen.

　In short, Professor Harvey has already made PB decline u5n, Tian Shengdong

　Shirley Augustine was also mentally prepared to endure the aftereffects.

　For her alone.

　From being born as the dungeon boss "Ice Princess," to being reborn as the monster "Parasitic Spirit" after death, to being captured by Diana and Rose, and now...

　Finally, I obtained the perfect body I had always dreamed of, and became a true human being inside and out.

　It can be said that she went through an extremely long and arduous process. Especially after she awakened her memories and gained the consciousness of "Ice Princess", she found herself to have become a "parasite". The torment she experienced was something that even monsters in the same situation could hardly understand.

　After all, those monsters that also emerged from the dungeon at least possessed bodies similar to their original counterparts in her memories, while she did not.

　However, after experiencing hardships, she reached the other side before any of them!

　She is now the real Shirley Augustine.

　After that, Professors Dark and Harvey organized a formal celebration for her with the professors who knew about it.

　April 7th became the most important day of her life.

　……

　And just the next evening.

　Dark then began his long-planned experiment to create "Elysium V"! After a long period of soaking, the "Moonstone" was gradually permeated by the "Paradise Version of Elysium," and its properties became closer to "Elysium."

　All other preparations have been completed. In particular, the theoretical framework has essentially reached its limit.

　The success or failure of this transmutation experiment is crucial.

　The main reason is that it's very difficult to find a second moonstone that fits so perfectly.

　If the experiment fails, it's uncertain when the next one will begin. Also, because there's only one "Moonstone," the "Paradise Version of Elysium" cannot be used for preliminary experiments, leaving experimental preparations only theoretical. However, "Elysium" is Dark's deepest sin, and also the most perfect sin in his theoretical construction. If even the experiment to create "Elysium V" fails, it only shows that his preparation in related research is far from sufficient.

　In short, he was quite confident in the success of this experiment.

　First, clear your mind of distractions, then concentrate your attention and begin the refining process!

　……

　The core concept behind the creation of "Elysium V" is to integrate divinity, elevate the manifest status of "Elysium," and bring it to the realm of divinity.

　Magical spirits... especially Digimon. Most Digimon should be able to gain the [Rank +1] trait after Ultimate Evolution, directly skipping the fourth tier and entering the fifth tier.

　The fifth tier can barely be considered demigods, and the Great Sin Card that can evolve a magical spirit to the fifth tier must naturally have a corresponding rank.

　Dark's "great sin" stems from the blood of the demon god and his own magical mind and thoughts.

　Because it contains elements of demon blood, its latent rank is quite high, which is quite evident in many situations.

　But that was only a latent position, and it couldn't be revealed when the Great Sin Card was forged.

　The main reason for this is that although Dark's demon blood has been activated, the awakening progress has been kept at zero percent. Therefore, he has no divinity whatsoever, which is why he needs to fuse with the divine power of the "Moon Stone".

　To do this, he needs to extract the divinity from the "Moonstone," retain its form, and fuse it with "Bliss" to form the "Core of Bliss."

　This "Core of Bliss" possesses divinity, and its manifest rank is at least above the fifth tier, which is why it has the negative power to enable magical spirits to undergo ultimate evolution.

　In order to strengthen and perpetuate this "divine bliss,"

　Multiple layers of magic runes need to be engraved around it.

　Based on the double-layer magic runes, and combined with his own understanding, Dark further developed multi-layer magic runes, which are also quite important.

　After beginning the process, he focused all his attention and energy on the experiment.

　The entire experiment proceeded as he had planned, until the divinity was extracted from the "Moonstone," then fused with "Bliss," and the "Core of Bliss" was shaped, at which point a slight oversight occurred.

　Therefore, he added more "Bliss" to this fusion. Fortunately, after April, he absorbed even more "Bliss" as a reserve just in case, which allowed him to successfully create the "Core of Bliss" without any major incidents.

　The subsequent inscription of the magic runes was flawless, remaining perfect until the end of the experiment.

　Ultimately, regardless of the outcome, at least a complete Spell Card (Lower Spell) was forged. The artwork of this Spell Card is significantly different from the previous four Sin Cards.

　After cleaning the card, you can clearly see a pink crystal core shaped like a "moon stone" floating in the center. Around the crystal core are multiple layers of halos, with mysterious runes engraved on the halos.

　However, the runes were not the Elysium Demon Runes, but rather the text originally engraved on the "Elysium" emblem.

　The outer and inner rings of text are separated and exist in intervals. Above each ring, there is a cluster of light flowing, like stars rotating along an orbit.

　As soon as Dark infused his magic, he immediately felt a very familiar divinity.

　This divine aura felt to him like a familiar face he had known for a long time. But after many years apart, they were strangers when they met again.

　It also carries a hint of the moon goddess's divinity, but upon closer inspection, one will find that it is not.

　"Could this be the divinity of [Paradise]?" Dark's brow twitched involuntarily.

　The divinity of "Paradise" is the same as the divinity of "Demon God". His awakening progress has always been 0, so he has never experienced the divinity of "Demon God".

　But after all, the blood of a demon god flows within him, even if one has never seen it...

　A kind of instinctive sense of familiarity.

　Looking back now, it seems that this is indeed the case.

　The process of creating "Elysium V" looks like an artificial fusion of the divinity of a "demon god".

　A sense of contradiction suddenly arose in his heart.

　Analyzing the Great Sin and mastering the blood of the Demon God were indeed his goals. But the more he understood the blood of the Demon God, the closer he got to the Demon God. Dark's heart sank slightly as he wondered what would ultimately happen if things continued this way.

　His initial joy at having just completed the magic card vanished somewhat. He took a deep breath as a result.

　However, the current claims about the "demon god's" divinity are merely speculation. This divinity may also be a special kind of divinity formed by combining his own factors.

　It is too early to draw conclusions now.

　"Let's take a look at the effect of this magic card first, and see if it can be called 'Elysium V'."

　Thinking this, Dark turned his gaze to "Devimon". While he was conducting the experiment, all the magical spirits, including "Devimon", had been quietly waiting, but now they were all staring intently at him—or more precisely, at the magical cards in his hand.

　Magical spirits that can rely on "Paradise" make up the majority of his magic cards.

　Not only Digimon, but even among Pokémon, there are creatures like "Crumple" that belong to the "Elysium" category and have a Mega Evolution form.

　If "Elysium V" is successfully crafted, it won't just be useful for Digimon.

　However, Dark's position as the chief guinea pig will always belong to "Devimon".

　He beckoned to "Devimon", and after a moment's thought, used the magic card in his hand on it.

　"-In the name of Darkdemon, the Magic Platform roars—restores talent, v'

　As the summoning spell was released, the "Minimal Core" surrounded by multiple layers of light emerged from the card. A divine aura of bliss spread out layer by layer as the light shimmered, filling the entire room.

　At the same time, he could suddenly feel a terrifying suction force emanating from the magic card, as if it wanted to drain all the magic power in his body in an instant. Fortunately, his magic power had grown significantly over the years, and he was no longer the same as before, so he was not drained by just one magic card.

　With its magic power replenished, Elysium V's power finally erupted completely. In an instant, Impmon was enveloped in a pink pillar of light, and a huge phantom of the Core of Elysium appeared above its head, constantly radiating light.

　Bathed in that radiance, "Devimon" finally began its evolution!

Chapter 1468 Impmon Ultimate Evolution (5k)

　The Elysium Evolution route of [Devimon] is not hard to guess.

　From the Rookie stage "Devimon" to the Champion stage "BlackGatomon", and then to the Ultimate stage "LadyDevimon", the final ultimate evolution will inevitably be "Lilithmon"!

　In the original design of "Lilithmon" in "Digimon", it was one of the "Seven Great Demon Lords" who were in charge of the seven deadly sins.

　It is the demon king of "Paradise," the embodiment of darkness, a fallen goddess, possessing a bewitching and alluring appearance and an even more seductive body. In particular, its magnanimous heart can easily capture people's hearts.

　It is said that it is extremely good at deceiving enemies with its appearance, and those who are lured into its trap have no choice but to die.

　She is a true "goddess of darkness," lenient and tolerant of evil deeds, but cruel and merciless in punishing good deeds; she is pure evil.

　Of course, that's just "Lilithmon" from "Digimon". While the magical spirits created by Dark will inherit the original personality to some extent, it's basically like "inherent goodness" or "inherent evil"—it can be changed through upbringing.

　Magical spirits, which already possess intelligence, will not fundamentally change their personalities even if they evolve into new forms.

　In fact, the personality changes of magical spirits after evolution are mostly temporary, and the changes caused by the "Great Sin Card" are actually more significant than the influence of their racial habits.

　Even if Impiemon successfully evolves into Lilithmon, its personality change will lean more towards "ecstasy" than "darkness." In short, these things need to be viewed dialectically. Dark's attention returned to Impiemon. In that brief moment of distraction, Impiemon had already transformed into its human form and begun the most crucial transformation from LadyDevimon to Lilithmon.

　The outline of "Lilithmon" is more complex and varied than that of "LadyDevimon", making it relatively easy to distinguish visually.

　Dark could clearly sense that the intensity of the aura within "Devimon" had surpassed that of "LadyDevimon," and it was still growing rapidly.

　But when the intensity of this aura reached a certain point, it suddenly stopped.

　However, the light of evolution emanating from "Devimon" did not fade. It was still evolving, but it was stuck halfway through.

　Dak was very familiar with this feeling of hitting a bottleneck and finding it difficult to overcome.

　"Zombiemon" was born under these circumstances.

　Therefore, he immediately closed his eyes, focused his attention on communicating with the bond, and continuously poured in his spiritual power.

　As mental energy surged into "Devimon's" body like a tidal wave.

　The previously stagnant evolutionary progress has finally begun to move forward again.

　With its strong constraints broken, "Devimon" underwent a further transformation.

　But as the bond between hearts strengthens, a mysterious and profound feeling suddenly emerges.

　As if appearing out of thin air, a flood of information surged into Dark's mind. He frowned, momentarily distracted, when suddenly even more information rushed into his mind, and then the radiance emanating from "Devimon" exploded to its peak in that instant!

　The entire room was illuminated by light, and pink petals drifted down.

　A rich yet not cloying, enticing aroma spread as the final evolution was completed.

　When Dark opened his eyes, the light of evolution had already faded.

　What appeared before him at that moment was a stunningly beautiful woman, like a courtesan—"Lilithmon"!

　With the divine power of "Elysium V" and the accumulated spiritual power, "Devimon" finally evolved into "Lilithmon"!

　The costume design of "Lilithmon" clearly draws inspiration from the clothing of Japanese courtesans.

　It wore a purple robe and black bodysuit, with its long black hair styled into a Hyogo crest, revealing a forehead marked with bat markings. Two pairs of bat wings extended from its back, one pair smaller and located on its shoulder blades, and the other pair larger and located above its waist.

　Its skin is pale, like a vampire's... or rather, it has many vampire-like qualities!

　As a Demon Lord type Digimon, "Lilithmon" indeed exudes divinity.

　Dark's sense of smell was extremely sharp, and he immediately sensed the divine aura within "Lilithmon".

　Therefore, it can be deduced that "Lilithmon" must have reached the fifth tier!

　"Success!"

　Although mental strength is still needed as an aid.

　However, this "Elysium V" does indeed possess the ability to evolve Digimon-type magical spirits into their ultimate forms.
