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

　"Bastimon is a magical spirit that combines both light and darkness, and also incorporates elements of 'arrogance.'"

　"However, given its dark-elemental properties, it should originally be primarily 'dark' in nature."

　"The final evolution should be the 'World-Destroying Dragon Beast,' which leans towards the dark element."

　"As for now... is it because of Apollo's influence?"

　The impact of Apollo's "gift from the gods" seems to be even more profound than Dark had anticipated.

　But this is not necessarily a bad thing.

　After careful consideration, Darke concluded that the "Pride V" he had forged in his current state must be more inclined toward the light.

　This may be the key to enabling "Devimon" to evolve into "Lucemon" or "Lucemon Fallen Mode".

　However, the struggle between light and darkness could lead to the fusion and evolution of MetalGreymon and Agumon into Apocalymon.

　Based on his current observations, adding more dark elements during the fusion evolution process should be enough to change the evolutionary direction, causing it to evolve into a "World Destroyer Beast" that is more inclined towards darkness.

　"This is also a crucial attempt; let's record it first."

　Dak put down his pen, intending to wait until he had a better understanding of the changes in his own attributes before making another attempt.

　He then got up, walked to the door, opened it, and let the girls who were crowding at the doorway in.

　The internet suddenly went down...

Chapter 1651 Darkdemon and the Wholesaler's Invitation from the Moon Goddess (4k)

　The news that "the twelve celestial beings will hold a tea party in the heavenly court" has spread widely within the academy.

　However, some people are low-key while others are high-profile, and so far, the publicly acknowledged invitees are still just a few scattered individuals.

　Among them, the fourth-year student was the more high-profile type. Several others received invitations in public and, unable to hide it, had no choice but to reveal them.

　For example, Darko Dimon belongs to this category.

　Dark opened the door and saw Diana burst in, laughing and giggling happily.

　Diana's charm is still so strong; I can't help but smile every time I see her.

　Dark stepped aside and looked at Rose and Eudora following behind, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart.

　He was used to Diana and Rose visiting him. But Eudora's arrival was quite rare, let alone the three of them coming together.

　Well, it's also possible that we just happened to be together, but he wasn't there earlier, so he was waiting at the door.

　Dark nodded slightly to Eudora, who was the last to enter, and then closed the door.

　They've been classmates for three years, but every time Eudora meets someone for the first time, she's still just as reserved, needing a little guidance to gradually open up.

　Dark set out the tea set, poured the tea, and then took some snacks and pastries from Devimon's snack pouch and placed them on top. He smiled and said, "Is it because of the tea party invitation?"

　"Mmm-hmm-hmm." Diana nodded repeatedly, her mouth already stuffed with snacks.

　Dark knew at a glance that she was simply there to satisfy her curiosity. She probably slipped over not long after seeing the invitation from Apollo, the "God of Light."

　Diana gained the approval of the "Stardust Armor" during the last exploration of the ruins, while Rose was directly favored by the "Goddess of Stars" and obtained the "God Card" from the "Goddess of Stars".

　Barring any unforeseen circumstances, once the "Goddess of the Stars" awakens, there is a high probability that she will become the "Chosen One" of the "Goddess of the Stars".

　Diana also plans to embark on a journey to find the remaining "Stardust Armor" after the school year ends.

　When the "Twelve Celestials" select their "Chosen Ones," they generally consider this factor as well.

　It is unlikely that they would forcibly seize the "chosen ones" chosen by other gods.

　Of course, this is merely Dark's speculation based on moral considerations. The actual situation has not yet unfolded. The Twelve Celestials are not exactly peaceful beings either. Conflicts between gods have been countless since ancient times. If they encounter a particularly desirable target, they generally have no qualms whatsoever.

　As for Eudora.

　The moment Dak saw her, he basically guessed that she must have received a "tea party invitation," but he didn't know which god had taken a liking to her.

　Without saying a word, Dark took out the invitation from Apollo, the "God of Light," from the drawer and handed it to Rose, who had no snacks in her hand.

　Rose, the "Apollo of the Sun," saw the lyre symbol on the invitation, confirming her suspicions.

　Dak smiled and said yes. There's nothing to hide.

　The scene of Apollo delivering the message is already very clear.

　Moreover, after winning fourth place in the World Cup, he also received a "gift from the gods" from Apollo, the "god of light".

　When the sky suddenly cleared, a golden stream of light flew directly into the balcony.

　He knew that everyone in the academy would know that he had been invited to the tea party by Apollo, the "God of Light".

　This tea party invitation, which meant little to him, was something most students could only dream of.

　The students' envy and jealousy were natural, but they didn't have much of an impact on him.

　Rose and Diana were engrossed in examining Apollo's invitation. Eudora, meanwhile, was sipping her tea.

　Dark turned to her and said, "Eudora, you received it too."

　Eudora's ears twitched, and she quickly looked up and said, "Yes, yes, it suddenly appeared next to my pillow this morning."

　Dark said, "Professor Mitia, do you understand?"

　Eudora immediately looked distressed: "Not yet."

　"What's wrong"

　Dark finally became a little curious.

　Professor Mitia is Eudora's teacher.

　Logically, upon receiving the invitation to the Heavenly Gods Tea Party, she should have informed the professor immediately.

　But the actual result was that they arrived here immediately. Was it because there was some reason they couldn't explain to Professor Mitia?

　Dark's mind raced, and in the blink of an eye, he had many guesses. But then he saw Eudora bite her thin lips, hesitate several times, and finally speak, "Last night, Teacher was drinking to celebrate, saying he received an invitation to the Celestial Tea Party..."

　Dark's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "The same one."

　Eudora took a deep breath and said, "It's been a long wait."

　Dark frowned slightly, not asking who had invited Eudora and Professor Mitia, but simply asked softly, "If that's all, I think it's fine to tell them."

　Eudora nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking too, but I just happened to see an invitation fly here, so I came to take a look."

　Dak smiled and said, "You can come often in the future. If there's anything you don't understand or can't make up your mind, you can come and ask me. Don't hold back." Eudora was generally surprised that he would suddenly say this, and for a moment she opened her mouth and couldn't close it.

　Diana, who was listening nearby, said with great curiosity, "You and Professor Mitia both received invitations to the tea party? That's wonderful! I'd love to go too. A tea party of the gods, I wonder how much delicious food there will be."

　Dark asked, "If you were to receive an invitation, who would you want it to be from?"

　Diana replied without hesitation, "Of course, it's Ares, the God of War!"

　“That makes sense,” Dark nodded.

　Unfortunately, Ares's "Chosen One" is already largely decided. Unless Jeanne d'Arc, the "Saintess of the Battlefield," chooses to refuse, there's a more than 90% chance she will be the "Chosen One."

　Moreover, he had already learned about the "Battle Maiden" before this.

　Although Jeanne d'Arc was not as desperate as the "Bloody Saint" Hayley, her body was already overburdened from repeatedly summoning the "God of War's" spirit, and was as cracked as broken porcelain.

　The reason she transferred the "God of War" soul into Audrey's body was because her body could no longer withstand it.

　Audrey happened to possess extraordinary talent, capable of tolerating what ordinary people could not, which is why she was able to save her.

　Now that she has the chance to be chosen as the "God of War" and extend her life, Jeanne d'Arc will definitely not let it go.

　In this way, talented individuals like Diana, who had the opportunity to gain the favor of the "God of War," could only regretfully bid farewell to the position of "Chosen One of the God of War."

　However, everyone has their own unique circumstances.

　If Diana could continue on the path of the "Goddess of Stars" alongside Rose, she might also have a chance to reach the top.

　However, speaking of which, the myths and legends about the "Goddess of Stars" are somewhat too similar to a certain work that Dark had seen in his previous life.

　In that work, the goddess who plays the role of "Goddess of Stars" is Athena.

　It is unknown whether the "Goddess of Stars" in this world has any definite connection with Athena.

　I doubt it.

　After a moment's thought, Dak made a few casual remarks to ease the atmosphere.

　For humans who aspire to become "chosen ones," receiving a "tea party invitation" is only the first step.

　Like Eudora and Professor Mydia, Pandora and that fourth-year student. Unless it's already confirmed, the Twelve Celestials usually invite more than one person. This tea party is likely to be slightly larger than expected.

　It remains to be seen whether the twelve gods will secretly set up tests during the tea party. If Hermes were hosting the banquet alone, then it's highly likely. But since this is a tea party jointly hosted by the twelve gods, it's unclear how much influence Hermes will have.

　The time it takes to brew a pot of tea.

　Diana and Rose had satisfied their curiosity. Eudora's heart had also calmed down. The three of them left the dormitory hand in hand.

　Diana and Rose went to the library to study, while Eudora went to find Professor Mitia.

　Because it involved Professor Medea's private affairs, Eudora did not reveal which god had invited her.

　But Dark had already roughly guessed it.

　Eudora and Professor Mitia are both owners of the "Starry Eyes".

　Professor Mitia's "Starry Eyes" focuses more on the Silver Moon.

　Eudora's "Starry Eyes" are based on the stars.

　Considering that Artemis, the "Goddess of the Hunt," even invited Professor Sylph, a half-elf, inviting two more humans with "Starry Eyes" doesn't seem like an unacceptable thing.

　However, this only increases Eudora's competition. Moreover, her words implied that Professor Medea highly valued this opportunity. If she knew that Professor Sylph had also received an invitation from Artemis, the pressure would be immense.

　"However, Artemis's primary role is that of 'Goddess of the Hunt,' while 'Goddess of the Moon' is merely one of her divine duties, and even that is less fitting than 'Goddess of Fertility.'"

　"She was revered as a principal deity by the elves because she possessed powers related to 'hunting,' 'nature,' and 'the moon,' most of which were highly compatible with the elves' nature."

　"Also worshipped by the elves is Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, who also possesses authority over nature and harvest."

　Just as Dark was about to settle down and continue his research, he suddenly sensed someone running towards the door again. He stopped thinking and looked towards the door.

　"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking sounded slightly hurried.

　Dark opened the door with his magic hand and saw Diana standing excitedly in the doorway, her face beaming with excitement.

　When Dak saw the invitation in her hand, he couldn't help but open his mouth.

　But the cover of the invitation depicted a floating moon, mountains, forests, lakes, and wild beasts.

　—It is an invitation from Artemis, the "Goddess of the Hunt"!

　After putting Diana and Rose back into the room, Dark closed the door and rubbed his forehead.

　What exactly is Artemis thinking?

　Various myths and historical accounts suggest that the more powerful a deity is, the more capricious they become. They don't particularly care about the thoughts of mortals, and it's often impossible to fathom their thinking using normal logic.

　But anyway.

　Diana also received an invitation to a tea party from Artemis, the "Goddess of the Hunt".

　"Guess what? I just went back to my dorm to get my books, and hey, I found this invitation on my desk!"

　Diana made no attempt to hide her excitement.

　Her eyes were wide open, reflecting what looked like a dazzling array of delicious food.

　“Artemis might be issuing invitations in bulk,” Dark said casually as he sat down.

　Diana, still excited, asked, "Wholesale? Does that mean the robe sent out invitations to a lot of people?"

　Dark said, "Probably."

　Diana chuckled: "That's perfect, with lots of people going together, the robe won't pay much attention to me."

　Then, you'll find a corner, bury your food in the bowl, and go on a eating spree, right?

　Dak smiled and was extremely impressed.

　"Where's Rose?" He looked at Rose, who was standing obediently to the side. She shook her head and said, "I didn't receive it."

　Dark said, "After all, she already has the favor of the 'Goddess of Stars.'" Diana is merely the wielder of the "Stardust Armor."

　Rose is the true chosen one, favored by the "Star Goddess." However, the components of the "Star Goddess" she possesses are quite different.
