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

　At this point, it is necessary to continuously adjust the plan based on the existing situation.

　Therefore, once May arrives, research on "rage" may be forced to be postponed again.

　After all, who can know what changes will happen in the future? Just like before tonight, he had no idea that his understanding of "bliss" would achieve such a huge breakthrough.

　This directly prompted him to change his short-term plans.

　Instead, the focus shifted to consolidating the understanding of "bliss".

　After all, this is the ultimate goal he has been striving for all this time.

　In comparison, even the World Cup can be postponed.

　After resting until "Elysium V" cooled down, Dark continued his evolution experiments.

　Agumon and Gabumon, who are also familiars to "Devimon," are both Digimon that can definitely evolve into their Ultimate forms using Elysium V. Among them, he is quite certain about Agumon's Elysium Ultimate evolution form, which is basically 80-90% accurate.

　The Elysium Evolution route for [Agumon] should be:

　Agumon → BlackAgumon → BlackGreymon → BlackMetalGreymon → BlackWarGreymon

　In other words, Agumon's ultimate form of Elysium should be BlackWarGreymon!

　In contrast, he was less certain about Gabumon's Elysium Ultimate Evolution form.

　So far, Gabumon's Elysium Evolution is:

　Gabumon → Mysticmon → Gurumon → Astaromon

　"Astarmon" is just the ultimate evolution of "Gabumon", and he has no idea what will happen next.

　Therefore, Dark chose curiosity over nostalgia, and he planned to conduct the ultimate evolution experiment of Gabumon first.

　We arrived at the edge of the dense forest once again.

　Dark took out "Elysium V" and had a deep and simple conversation with the eager "Gabumon". After confirming that it was ready, he summoned and activated the power of "Elysium V".

　Then, with the synchronized assistance of mental power, Gabumon finally began its evolution from its Rookie stage to its Ultimate stage!

　A beast-like silhouette, resembling a three-headed hellhound, shrouded in the light of evolution.

　Dark's knowledge of Digimon is basically from the earlier seasons of "Digimon". He doesn't even know much about Astarmon, let alone its subsequent evolutions.

　Judging from the outline alone, it's impossible to guess what this ultimate form actually is.

　But as mental power continued to flow in, the outline quickly became clear, and then the radiance began to converge, and the luminous body within it turned from illusory to real.

　When the light disappeared, Gabumon's Elysium Ultimate form was finally fully revealed.

　Even after seeing everything clearly, Dark still couldn't recognize it.

　He paused for a moment, then looked down at the magic cards in his hand.

　Although he couldn't recognize it, Dark felt a similar "Demon King" aura from that Ultimate form once again.

　In stories of demon kings and heroes, demon kings are usually portrayed as the strongest beings under the gods, or demigods.

　Therefore, most Demon Lord-level magical spirits are in the fifth tier. Gabumon's ultimate form also possesses corresponding strength. Its name is "Grand Draculmon"!

　The word "Dracula" in "Grandrarc" comes from the Romanian word "Dracula," which means "vampire."

　In Digimon, "Darakumon" is generally considered to be the king of vampire Digimon!

　In the original setting, it is a Digimon on the same level as the "Seven Great Demon Lords", possessing elegant, gentlemanly manners and a highly alluring voice.

　However, Dark couldn't see anything related to "gentlemanly" or "alluring" in its appearance, even though it was the ultimate evolution of "Elysium." Because it was just too ugly!

　Ugly, ferocious, and terrifying—that was his first impression of the "Great Dracule".

　It was a monster-type Digimon resembling a three-headed hellhound. Its lower body was muscular and covered in short, scarlet fur. Each of its four limbs had a cluster of sharp claws growing from its joints. Its back was covered in steel armor resembling bones, and each of its two shoulders had a ferocious, bullet-shaped head made of steel.

　Between those two beast heads grew the half-body of a human... no, it should be the half-body of a vampire!

　If one were to force a connection between it and the word "gentleman," then the only explanation would be its vampire half-body.

　It was a lean body completely different from its fierce and robust lower body. It should be the main body of the "Great Dracule". It was dressed in red, wearing blue shoulder armor and a claw-shaped mask. It had demonic horns on its head and bat wings on its back. The face under the mask was slightly square, giving it the feel of an "uncle".

　He looked like a weathered middle-aged man in a red suit.

　In short, it's completely unimaginable that it could be a magical spirit from "Paradise".

　But it does indeed exude an aura of "ecstasy" from its body.

　Dark looked up, took a deep breath, and channeled his magic to check the details.

　(Image: Grand Draculemon)

　Card Name: Grand Draculmon [Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: 08888o8aoeao] [Race: Demon]

　[Attribute: Dark] [Magic Power: 8000]

　Attack: 8500; Defense: 8000

　[Ultimate Techniques: Vampire King, Eye of Gorgon, Crystal Revolution, Black Requiem]

　"Great Dracmon" appears to be a twelve-star magical spirit based on its stats. And unsurprisingly, it is a dark-type demon.

　Although its three-dimensional attributes are still not as good as [Fossil Aerodactyl (Ancient Form)], they are 500 points higher than the sum of the three-dimensional attributes of "Lilithmon".

　With 8,500 points of attack and 8,000 points of defense, it's ridiculously tough. And its first ultimate skill is naturally the Demon King passive skill with the [Rank +1] trait.

　v

　[Vampire King: Grand Draculemon is the king of vampires, said to possess an immortal body and a voice capable of corrupting angels. Magic Power +1000, Attack +1000, Defense +1000, Rank +1, and immunity to certain transformation-type special attacks. Vampire magic spirits under its aura will become even stronger, with Magic Power +500, Attack +500, and Defense +500. Additional Special Attacks: Immortal Body, Corrupting Voice.]

　[Immortal Body: When Grand Dracomon suffers a fatal attack, it will not die from the attack itself, but will enter a near-death state.]

　[Voice of Corruption: Grand Dracomon can emit a sound with a (confusing) effect, causing the target's mind to fall into darkness and drive them into (madness).]

　The passive skill of "Vampire Demon King" is basically the same as that of "Demon King", but its aura effect only works on vampires.

　However, in addition to this, it actually comes with two special moves!

　This kind of mode, where one special move includes an additional special move, is practically cheating, especially since it includes two additional ones at once.

　Of these two additional special moves, "Immortal Body" and "Potpot" are very similar in their "sturdiness".

　The difference is that "Sturdy" can only take effect once, while "Immortal Body" can take effect multiple times.

　As its name suggests, the "Great Dracule," possessing an "immortal body," cannot die from attacks.

　However, like creatures commonly referred to as "immortals," the "immortal body" of the "Great Dracule" is not entirely immortal.

　There are indeed methods that can completely kill it. For example, certain special finishing moves are designed to eliminate enemies with low health.

　Or it could be a finishing move that negates the damage described as "attack". In addition, although "Great Dracmon" is immortal, after suffering a fatal attack, it can only retain a last bit of magic power and enters a "near-death state".

　A little magic can do something, but it can't do anything.

　Once it enters a "near-death state", the "Great Dracmon" will also experience a significant weakening in both attack and defense, essentially losing its offensive and defensive capabilities.

　—Though not dead, they are as good as dead.

　Fortunately, I was able to receive treatment.

　Once your health bar is reduced to more than one-third, you can escape the "near-death state".

　Then there's "The Voice of Fallen".

　"Voice of Fallen" can barely be considered an additional special move with the "Ecstasy" characteristic.

　Its effect is also easy to understand: it can make a target lose their ideals and go crazy.

　The addition of these two additional special moves makes the "Vampire King" special move significantly overpowered.

　However, it is still slightly lacking compared to Lilithmon's "Crown of Elysium".

　However, these two magical spirits are fundamentally different in their roles.

　The second special attack of "Great Dracon" is "Gorgon's Eye".

　"Gorgons" are snake-haired female monsters, and the legendary Medusa is one of them.

　Therefore, the "Gorgon's Eye" immediately evokes the image of "petrification".

　However, like the "Claw of Nazar," the "Eye of Gorgon" does not possess the ability to petrify people.

　But it can be alluring!

　[Gorgon's Eye: The Great Dracov stares at its target, imprisoning their mind in darkness and turning them into a prisoner of darkness.]

　Based on this description, "The Eye of Gorgon" seems to be a standalone version of "The Temptation of Seven".

　But this is not the case.

　The "Gorgon's Eye" cannot extract the potential of prisoners; it only has the ability to "dominate."

　This type of finishing move is actually quite common.

　The difference lies in the fact that the "Eye of Gorgon" has a very high priority in the judgment, and can be effective on most magical spirits.

　In short, this is not a bad skill.

　Dark paused to think for a moment, then injected more magic to obtain deeper information feedback.

　The third special attack of "Great Dracmon" is "Crystal Revolution".

　[Crystal Transformation: Grand Dracmon unleashes a burst of dark, freezing energy, instantly transforming all enemies into ice crystals.]

　A crowd control skill that leans towards ice-based abilities.

　Dark then looked at the final finishing move of the "Great Dracmon," which was called "Black Requiem."

　v

　[Black Requiem: The Great Draculeus chants a black requiem in a seductive voice, plunging its enemies into a deep, eternal slumber until death.]

　/

　As the name suggests, this is another crowd control ultimate skill. However, compared to "Crystal Revolution," "Black Requiem" also possesses offensive capabilities, inflicting continuous damage on the target and causing them to meet their death in their dreams.

　As a result, all four of the "Great Dracmon's" special moves contain elements of "control".

　It doesn't match its powerful three-dimensional attributes, and it doesn't have a high-power, high-burst ultimate move that is purely lethal.

　The original "Grandramon" certainly had more than just these abilities. But as a magical spirit, and as the ultimate form of "Gabumon," it seems to lean more towards "control" on a mental level.

　However, these ever-evolving control methods are clearly extremely troublesome and should not be underestimated.

　After recording the detailed data of "Great Dracmon", Dark tested its special attack and then returned to his dormitory to await the next round of testing.

　Besides "Devimon", "Agumon", and "Gabumon", other Digimon that can evolve into Ultimate level using "Elysium V" should include "Renamon", "BlackMentermon", "Lunamon", "Momomon", etc.

　The ultimate evolution paths of these Digimon are relatively clear.

　For example, Renamon can evolve into Sakuyamon, and Blacktermon can evolve into Cherubimon. Cherubimon is further divided into good and evil forms.

　Additionally, Lunamon will evolve into Dianamon, and Moemon will likely evolve into MarineAngemon.

　Besides Digimon, other magical Pokémon that may evolve further using "Elysium V" include "Curlear", "Popeye", "Charizard", and others.

　Both "Curly" and "Charizard" have Mega Evolution forms.

　"Popeye" has not fully evolved because its main type is Water. Using the higher-level "Elysium V" this time might allow it to evolve to its complete form.

　Of course, compared to other magical spirits, the evolution test of "Ball-Ball Sea Lion" is not so important.

　What Dark wants to know most right now is whether "Elysium V" can allow magical Pokémon-type Pokémon to evolve into Mega Evolution!

　Therefore, among these magical spirits, he chose "Curl Ear" as his next experimental subject.

　With the CD of "Elysium V" working well again, Darke conducted the experiment directly in his bedroom this time.

　Because the Mega Evolution of "Curly Ears"—"Super Long-Eared Rabbit"—is not huge.

　There is a significant difference between Pokémon and Digimon in terms of their power displays, and an even greater difference in their character designs.

　Unlike Ultimate-level Digimon that can destroy planets at will, the Legendary Pokémon in Pokémon are relatively more subtle in their design.

　However, after these two are transformed into magical spirits, the power gap is significantly reduced. For example, the "Black MetalGreymon" that can launch "nuclear warheads" is on the same level as [Charizard].

　"Shami," with a base stat total of only 600, is an even higher-ranking ten-star magical spirit.

　Furthermore, ten stars is not the limit.

　Therefore, it is not impossible for the "Super Long-eared Rabbit" to reach the fourth tier.
