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

　Diana was only there to deliver the good news and find a place to vent her emotions. It wasn't that she wasn't interested in becoming the chosen one of the "Goddess of the Hunt," but rather that she genuinely felt she wouldn't be chosen.

　Among the twelve gods of Poirot, the only one universally recognized as a "brute" is Ares, the "god of war".

　Aside from Ares, the "God of War," the other gods probably wouldn't think much of someone who isn't good with their brain.

　It is precisely because of this understanding that she is able to ignore "competition" and only have eyes for the delicacies of the Heavenly Court.

　……

　However, since Diana also received Artemis's invitation, she should reveal some information.

　Dak then asked her to sit down and began to share his selected guesses.

　"So, Eudora also received an invitation from Artemis?" Diana asked, counting on her fingers.

　Dark said, "It's just a guess, but it's pretty close." Diana was a little happy: "Then I can sit with her." Dark said, "Professor Sylph is also here, try to sit at the same table as her." Diana blinked, but still nodded and said, "Okay." According to her, of course, she would prefer to find a corner, a secluded spot, which would better suit her expectations.

　Sitting at the same table with the professors made her feel a little reserved and prevented her from eating freely. But she also knew that "it's always good to be cautious," and that being with Professor Sylph would definitely be safer.

　Rose shook her head, somewhat helplessly, and said, "A safe and comfortable dining environment is also very important."

　Diana immediately understood and became happy again.

　Seeing that she had no intention of vying for Artemis's chosen one, Dark swallowed back his words.

　He had no intention of competing for anything at this tea party; he was simply going through the motions and going through with the invitations.

　So, she's really no different from Diana.

　There's no need to overthink it.

　After seeing Diana off, Darke sat down and began to study (the power of waveguides).

Chapter 1652 The Mystery of Birth, Lord of the Labyrinth (4k)

　In-depth research on "waveguide power" should have been done much earlier.

　But Dak has been busy since returning to school, and only today has he had a little free time. It just so happens that he is full of energy during the day, so he can try his research.

　He has now mastered the "Aura Power" for some time and has successfully tried to combine the "Aura Power" with "Mental Power" to evolve a Pokémon-type magical Pokémon.

　However, this is only a basic application of "waveguide power." Although "waveguide power" has many characteristics similar to mental or spiritual power, it is actually a very special kind of bio-energy.

　If one can master the "power of aura," it will not only assist the evolution of magical spirits, but may even grant the ability to master many magical-like abilities.

　Just like the special moves added to "Super Blaziken's" "Aura Warrior", from the simplest "Aura Sphere" to more complex "Aura Shield" and "Aura Healing".

　"Waveguide therapy" is one such application of life energy.

　In addition, "Aura Power" can also enhance "telepathy". Through "Aura Power", one can sense the surrounding environment and the opponent's status, and even communicate telepathically.

　Although Dark has already acquired these abilities through the use of mental and spiritual power.

　However, by combining "waveguide power," these abilities can be further enhanced.

　To achieve a more effortless "mind reading," or "mind reading." Dark's current "mind reading" is based on the "Eye of Truth." If one could gain a deeper understanding of "wave power," perhaps one could silently read a target's thoughts without even activating the "Eye of Truth."

　The spell "mind reading" is most effective when used when the opponent is completely unprepared.

　If you need to activate the "Eye of Truth" every time you use it, it's just too obvious.

　Also.

　Using "magical power," one can also manipulate airflow to propel objects and...fly!

　Always using "Flying Spell" to fly, regardless of whether it's convenient or not, forcibly inserting a "Flying Spell" into a well-structured deck is itself a disruption of the deck's system.

　Moreover, the probability of not being able to draw the "Flying Spell" at crucial moments is obviously greater.

　It would be ridiculous for a mage who aims to become a god to not even be able to fly freely.

　Now that he has mastered the "power of waveguides," Dark can use it to gain the ability to fly.

　Finally, through in-depth research into "Aura Power," one can better master the ability to Mega Evolve Magical Pokémon. Although he can Mega Evolve "Bunny" into "Bunny" and "Blizzard" into "Mega Blaziken," the former is actually only a third-tier Magical Pokémon, and the latter's Mega Evolution...

　The evolution of ga is not stable.

　The fact that Blaziken was able to Mega Evolve into Mega Blaziken was a true "breakthrough." Once you leave that intense battle state, it's very difficult to return to it.

　If Dark had mastered the "Aura Force," the first thing he would want to do was to stabilize Blaziken's Mega Evolution.

　Now, by engaging with Blaziken's aura, one can also train and enhance their aura power, as well as improve their control and application of it.

　Without using "Sin Cards" for assistance, you can use "Aura Power" and "Mental Power" to Mega Evolve a Pokémon-type Magical Pokémon to the fourth tier.

　This is the evolution system of Digimon, specifically the Mega Evolution system, which can be said to be unique to Pokémon.

　Using Mega Evolution to gain an advantage has always been part of Dark's plan.

　However, he currently doesn't have many magical Pokémon that can Mega Evolve to the fourth tier.

　This requires gradual accumulation over time.

　In short, there is at least a year between now and the reopening of the Heavenly Court. He plans to focus on refining a batch of magical spirits capable of Mega Evolution.

　This creates a pure "Mega" deck.

　As for now.

　Among the magical Pokémon he owns, those capable of Mega Evolution include Torchic, Brill, Onix, and Charmander.

　Onix evolves into Steelix, and Mega Steelix evolves into Mega Steelix, which boasts a base stat total of 610, undoubtedly placing it in the fourth tier.

　Charmander evolves into Charizard, which boasts a base stat total of 634 and has both X and Y forms, making it a top-tier fighter in the future. However, Charmander was only recently created and hasn't yet formed a bond, so Mega Evolution is unrealistic for it.

　The bond between Onix and Onix has been formed, but it will take time to work together before Onix can Mega Evolve to the fourth tier.

　After pondering for a while, Dark summoned Torchic and trained with it in "Aura Power".

　Time passed slowly, and his research on "waveguide power" deepened. Before he knew it, it was evening.

　After the rain, the sky gradually took on a gentle orange-red hue. It was as if nature's artist had inadvertently spilled warm colors from their palette, slowly enveloping the entire world in a dreamlike glow.

　The setting sun poured down like molten gold, draping the earth in a magnificent golden veil. Everything was bathed in a soft golden glow, appearing exceptionally peaceful and serene.

　Small white flowers with light green stamens bloom on the ground, their delicate and refreshing fragrance invigorating the senses.

　Saint Marian welcomed a distinguished guest: Demeter.

　God of agriculture, grain, and harvest.

　Demeter's appearance did not attract much attention.

　As a flower in the corner suddenly bloomed, he was born from the flower, and then quickly grew into a human shape. The petals turned into a dress, and the flower buds turned into green shoes. He walked slowly toward the towering clock tower in the center.

　The "Demeter Flowers" that bloomed with the appearance of the robe were like invitation cards, announcing her arrival.

　A spring breeze blew by, bringing inquiries and then returning with answers.

　No one disturbed me after that.

　Demeter appeared in the room of the Fantastic Beasts Company, looking at the "Paradise" placed in the room with a hint of curiosity.

　St. Maryann's Academy is filled with the fragrance of flowers, which not only has a mild healing effect but also promotes the recovery of magical power.

　The source of that floral fragrance was this magic card. "Chu mi."

　"Shemi" pushed open a crack in the door and squeezed in with eyes full of curiosity. The "flower fairy" perched on its head stared wide-eyed with all its might, instinctively feeling closeness and worship towards the goddess before it.

　Demeter turned and bent down, waving at "Shami". "Chu mi!"

　"Shemi" called softly, then walked up to Chi and rubbed her cheek against Pao's palm.

　A gentle smile involuntarily appeared on Demeter's face.

　……

　Darkdemon, who was studying the "power of waveguides," suddenly twitched his brow and turned to look in the direction of the Fantastic Beasts Club.

　Demeter, the goddess of agriculture

　Demeter is a goddess with a kind face.

　Myths and legends related to Chi always describe Pao as a kind goddess who teaches people how to cultivate the land and gives life to the earth.

　But she, who holds the power over the land and its bounty, can make the land fertile and the plants flourish, or she can make the land wither and all things perish in an instant.

　At the same time, Chi also dabbled in the power of the "God of Wealth." He could grant people inexhaustible wealth, or he could leave them destitute and penniless.

　The robe once left a land barren and a nation devastated by famine. To judge a god who has existed for countless years based solely on his appearance and legends is to be doomed.

　Demeter's mercy was shown only when it was due.

　After a short while, seeing that Principal Art and Professor Sylph did not react, Dark calmed down and did not try to spy on them using "Shemi" as a medium.

　Although the reason for Demeter's visit to St. Marian's College is unknown, given the current situation, the all-purpose reason of coming to select a "chosen one" certainly exists.

　The college could not turn them away.

　This had nothing to do with him, who had already received an invitation from Apollo. Dark dismissed these distractions and continued to study the "power of waveguides."

　After a full day of practice and contemplation, he has figured out some key uses of "waveguide power".

　For example, "telepathy," and "telepathy"...

　This is indeed his forte, and he mastered it easily and smoothly.

　Right now. Teachers' dormitory.

　Near Ergane, who was holding a book and engrossed in reading, a small white flower with pale green stamens was quietly blooming.

　A dignified and beautiful young woman emerged from within, standing quietly behind Ergani like a candle flame, seemingly waiting to be discovered by her.

　This young goddess is none other than Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom. Athena's skin is as white and smooth as ivory, her eyes are large and bright, her nose is delicate and straight, her lips are like rosy clouds, and her face is like an oval. She seems like a gentle maiden who has stepped out of a painting.

　Chi was wearing an exquisite embroidered dress for everyday wear, with an owl perched on her shoulder—if you looked closely, you would find that it was a lifelike plush toy.

　The light and shadow danced.

　Ergani was engrossed in her book and paid no attention.

　Time passed slowly, though only a few minutes had ebbed through the night. Finally, Athena spoke first.

　"I don't remember which twilight it was, but a part of my flesh fell to the ground and turned into a labyrinthine city."

　"You were born from my flesh and blood, so you should call me Mother."

　"Then who is my father?"

　Ergane turned her head, revealing bright eyes and white teeth.

　Even the "Goddess of Wisdom" was stunned on the spot. But only half a second later, Athena couldn't help but laugh.

　Chi suddenly realized that he had no aversion to suddenly having such an "offspring".

　Throughout the countless historical events that Chi has witnessed, there have been countless virgins who gave birth to divine children solely because of "divine oracles." "Chastity" and "fertility" are not mutually exclusive, just like Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. As one of the three great virgin goddesses and the "goddess of fertility," she holds the divine office of midwifery, in charge of childbirth, delivery, and newborns, and is a renowned "mother goddess."

　Think of this.

　Athena completely relaxed.

　She no longer held back and gradually revealed her true nature.

　In terms of appearance, Athena and Ergane are both "young girls," but Ergane's appearance is relatively younger.

　Although the two women share some similarities in appearance, they are not exactly the same. This is why Athena did not instinctively regard Ergane as a "copy" of herself after discovering her existence.

　"Who is your father?" Athena countered.

　Ergane glanced at Chi but did not answer.

　She is a god who was "resurrected" based on the heart generated by the Academy's dungeon.

　All the power she possesses can be said to have come from Athena, and the process could even be described as "stealing" it. Therefore, it's understandable that she would feel somewhat nervous when facing Athena.

　However, when she was face to face with Athena, the feeling of being connected by blood suddenly became clear, and she felt for no reason that the "goddess" in front of her could not possibly harm her.

　Now, through just two sentences of conversation with Athena, she has finally revealed the secret of her birth.

　"So that's how it is. The academy's underground city was originally formed from Athena's flesh and blood."

　In even more ancient myths and legends, Athena is also known as the "Lady of the Labyrinth".

　Unexpectedly, her flesh and blood actually formed such a huge "maze"!

　In this way, when Athena was only conscious, the underground city of St. Marian Academy practically became Athena's "body".
