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

　"Roar--"

　A deep and steady dragon roar emanated from the intense light, and the "omnipotent construct puppet" was reassembled into the form of the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

　This gave it dragon wings and claws, as well as variations of its special moves "Dragon's Reverse Scale," "Destructive Jet White Light," and "Annihilation Burst Gale Bullet."

　But in the instant it transformed and reassembled, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon seized the opportunity, spread its wings, and suddenly plunged down to break through the Mirror Pyramid.

　The "Mirror Pyramid" can only reflect damage from cast spells, and its defense limit is around 10,000.

　The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's furious roar and a barrage of claw attacks finally shattered its barrier.

　The Crescent Beast arrived like a whirlwind, its figure flashing as it was about to rush into the barrier's range.

　The Alchemist Master Sin Chewed's "Reload" has already been used, so it's impossible to refresh the "Mirror Pyramid" again.

　The defensive barrier that had been in place since the start of the duel was finally broken. However, Alchemist Master Sinzerde's "magic cannon firing squad" had already been launched, and its trajectory remained unchanged despite the surprise attack from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and the Crescent Beast.

　The sixth "Triple Magic Cannon" shot pierced the sky with its magical light, evaporating the "Priest Beast" and its shikigami before continuing forward.

　The shikigami on Dark's body disappeared instantly after the "Priest Beast" died, and his body began to fall freely to the ground.

　But suddenly, the light of evolution of the "Turkey" rose up, protecting itself and Dark behind it.

　"boom!"

　This final "triple magic cannon" ultimately failed to break through the protection of the light of evolution, and the remaining magic light quickly dissipated.

　With the aid of magic, Dark landed smoothly, and the magic card in his hand had been changed to "Advanced Transformation Charm".

　"In the name of Darkdemon, a magical summoning—[Higher Transformation Charm]"

　As the light of the "Higher Transfiguration Charm" rapidly illuminated, his body underwent a dramatic transformation within the radiance.

　In stark contrast to the phenomenon when he evolved into "Lunar God," he is becoming shorter and his body is shrinking.

　The light faded, and it transformed into the form of "BlackGatomon"!

　"Huh?" A rare look of surprise appeared in Professor Cazell's eyes.

　[BlackGatomon] is a magical spirit with only six stars.

　To put it bluntly, it's even worse than Dark's original form.

　He used the "Advanced Transformation Charm" to transform himself into "BlackGittomon". Instead of becoming stronger, he became significantly weaker.

　Moreover, the fact that he would use the Transfiguration Charm in this duel was itself an unexpected event.

　Unless this is his extra trump card.

　Professor Kazel glanced at the two newly acquired magic cards, pondered for a moment, and did not activate them for the time being.

　The "Mirror Pyramid" has indeed been destroyed. But his situation hasn't actually changed much. He still has the "Armored One" transformed from the "Alchemy Beast".

　With the "Omnipotent Construct Puppet" and the "Alchemist Master Xin Zhe De" around, the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and the "Crescent Beast" can't cause any trouble.

　He wanted to see what tricks Dark had up his sleeve.

　Ultimate move – "Human Tool"!

　After firing the last "Triple Magic Cannon," Alchemist Xin Zhede casually tossed it aside and unleashed his ultimate move, "Human Item."

　Its body was instantly covered in armor, transforming into an armored warrior that looked like a "puppet".

　However, what doesn't match its somewhat bulky appearance is the high mobility brought about by its multiple jet propulsion devices.

　Although the speed of the "Crescent Beast" is incredibly fast, it is actually easy to intercept because its target is singular and clear.

　Meanwhile, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon has been taken over by the reorganized Omnipotent Construct.

　The "Omnipotent Construct Puppet," which has transformed into the appearance of a blue-eyed white dragon, now has a vertical pupil between its eyebrows, with a jewel flowing within it—the manifestation of the "Item Repair Box's" ability.

　Two sharp, blade-like dragon horns have appeared on its head, emanating a dual aura of positive and negative, which is the manifestation of the "positive and negative dual magnetic blades".

　However, it did not use these abilities at this moment, but instead tried to unleash the ultimate move it obtained from the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" - "Dragon's Reverse Scale"!

　When "Dragon's Reverse Scale" was activated, "Omnipotent Construct Puppet" was in a state of chaos for a moment, but it was cleared up just as quickly.

　Its momentum soared wildly, but the final attack bonus it gained only hovered in the middle range of 50% to 100%.

　It cannot unleash the full power of "Dragon's Reverse Scale". However, thanks to the high stats of the twelve-star magical spirit, its attack power has been increased to a level close to that of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

　Moreover, they have an absolute advantage in defense.

　Even without using other special moves, it can suppress the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".

　The Blue-Eyes White Dragon's invincibility time is almost over.

　the other side.

　After completing his transformation, Dark immediately initiated a bond communication with Blaziken.

　"Mental power, intertwined with magic, evolves through bonds!"

　As the power of the mind and the power of the aura intertwined, the light of evolution simultaneously bloomed within both of them.

　Black flames instantly erupted from Dark's body, a manifestation of dark power.

　He felt a very strong, unprecedented resonance between himself and the "Blazing Chicken".

　The "Waveguide Wheel" hidden within the body vibrated like a drum in this resonance, showing a tendency to break open spontaneously.

　He looked at the "Blazing Chicken".

　The flames on Blaziken's body turned golden-red, and the flames condensed and changed, taking the shape of ribbons.

　The white feathers that originally hung down like long hair on its head stood up in the light of evolution, as if it were a Super Saiyan transformation, making its entire temperament exceptionally fierce.

　Its two horns on its head and the feathers on its body also showed very obvious changes.

　Compared to the previous evolution experiment, this "Dual Bond Evolution" is clearly much closer to success.

　This is the result of the combined effects of multiple factors, including the enhancement of mental power, the bond of fighting together, and the breakthrough in aura power.

　It is also an extreme outburst forced by the current crisis.

　However, since the "Aura Chakra" has not been activated, Dark is still a step away from mastering the power of the Aura, and Blaziken's Mega Evolution is still just a step away.

　But, is that all?

　Dark felt a struggle within him, a fierce conflict between reason and emotion. He was a deeply emotional person, but reason often prevailed over emotion, and he was fixated on logic and deduction.

　He failed to master the power of the Aura, so Blaziken could not complete its Mega Evolution—this is the result of logical deduction based on reason.

　However, the "Mind Magic" system is the ultimate manifestation of idealism.

　It is a result of emotion far outweighing reason.

　This is why he has always found it difficult to build a "bond" with the magical spirit.

　But even knowing this, would it allow emotions to override reason and turn one into an "idealist"?

　That's obviously impossible.

　Dark's gaze finally turned to himself. The dark power within him was rapidly increasing, which meant that his own evolution was underway.

　Moreover, it's a very clear path, a dark evolution from "BlackGatomon" to "LadyDevimon"!

　But this was not what he intended.

　Besides the fact that LadyDevimon has overly obvious opposite-sex characteristics, it's also because it can already freely evolve Impmon into LadyDevimon, so it doesn't need to evolve into LadyDevimon anymore.

　His need is to change course and evolve along a completely different path from "LadyDevimon".

　He immediately calmed down, activated the "Power of Pride," forcibly stripped away the dark attributes within it, amplified the power of light, and continuously experimented and adjusted.

　Even if he was mentally prepared and had made mental assumptions, this process could not be completed in just a few seconds.

　He and Blaziken were enveloped in the light of evolution, and the flames on their bodies constantly converged in the air.

　The intense battle in the center of the arena contrasts sharply with the still images in this area.

　The Blue-Eyes White Dragon ultimately failed to break through the defense of the Omnipotent Construct Golem and was defeated and disappeared after its 30-second invincibility period expired.

　The Crescent Beast was still pulling at the enemy, but Alchemist Master Sin Zhede's defense was flawless and impossible to break through.

　With the fate of the "Omnipotent Construct Puppet," the defeat of the "Crescent Beast" is only a matter of time.

　Even if a nine-star magical spirit has a strong ability to transcend its level.

　However, it still struggles to exert its power against the twelve-star magical spirits that possess equal strength.

　Even if Dark successfully evolves into the Ultimate form of "BlackGatomon", this point... will basically remain unchanged!

　In other words, he was most likely doing something futile.

　The death of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" stirred up waves in his heart. Overwhelming rational thinking constantly reminded him of this fact. Without "Elysium V", without an Ultimate form, his only hope was [Aerodactyl (Ancient Form)].

　However, the location of [Fossil Aerial Dragon (Ancient Form)] in the deck is still unknown.

　Even with incredible luck, forcibly summoning the [Fossil Aerodactyl (Ancient Form)], can the [Fossil Aerodactyl (Ancient Mind)], which is not resistant to transformation effects, really withstand even half a move from Professor Kazel?

　It was utterly irrational to place all your bets on a single [Fossil Pterosaur (Ancient Form)].

　Yes, that's not rational at all!

　The flames on Dark's body suddenly turned from black to white. The white light illuminated his entire body at the same time.

　His body grew taller in that instant, and the white light converged, transforming into heavy silver armor.

　Ripples suddenly appeared on the ground beneath his feet, and a giant golden sword emerged from them. He reached out, grasped the hilt, and gave a sharp, soft shout.

　A ray of hope bursts forth!

Chapter 1626 The Rider of Hope and the Hero of the Waveguide (5k)

　【BlackGatomon】→ Mega Evolution→ "Knightmon!" The moment the evolution was complete, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind. Dark understood the changes in himself almost instantly.

　He evolved from "BlackGatomon" into the Ultimate-level "Knightmon"! "Knightmon" is a warrior-type Digimon with a huge body, wearing heavy armor made of Digi-alloy.

　Even when wearing heavy armor, he can move around as if nothing is wrong, and he can easily wield the greatsword he wears.

　It seemed to harbor a violent, uncontrollable power within its body. The reason it wore heavy armor was to suppress this power.

　In other words, its strongest form is revealed the moment its armor is removed!

　[Card Name: Knight Beast]

　Ultimate Skills: Armor of the Sun, Sword of Berserk, Shield of Hope, Knight's Soul

　The power of light filled my entire body.

　At the moment of evolving into his complete form, Dark gained a completely new understanding of the bright side of "pride".

　"Knightmon" is a Light and Steel type magical monster with stats comparable to "RiseGreymon". Its magic card is of gold quality and it has four special moves.

　These are all still within the expected range.

　Dark had a relatively good understanding of the Digimon "Knightmon".

　He knew that the evolutionary path of "Knightmon" included several ultimate forms belonging to the "Royal Knights", such as "KingKnightmon", "Fragmon", and "Skullmon", which were the absolute reserves of the Thirteen Holy Knights. Among them, "KingKnightmon" was the king who commanded all "Knightmon".

　In addition, Knightmon can evolve into Durandamon, a Digimon wielding the ultimate holy sword!

　"Durandamon" is known as the "strongest sword" in the Digital World. The terrifying thing about its slash is that it can cut through any defensive barrier in half. The records show that only "Brevilddramon", the "strongest shield", can withstand it.

　However, those are all future prospects.

　After evolving into "Knightmon", Dark clearly felt that he had reached his limit.
