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

　"Twelve Stars, Illusion God Seed, Dark Element."

　"All three attributes have reached the perfect level of twelve stars, with no weaknesses... nor can they be considered as strengths, but this is the result compared to those twelve-star attributes with overpowered stats."

　"Practically speaking, the stats on this 'Moon Goddess Soul IV' are already perfect."

　"However, for the 'Soul of the Moon Goddess,' the panel stats are actually not crucial."

　Dark directly infused more magic power to obtain information about the ultimate move of "Lunar Soul V".

　Soon, information about the first ultimate move of "Moon Goddess Soul IV" entered his mind.

　He checked immediately.

　v

　[Moon Goddess: The soul of the Moon Goddess has completed another significant leap on the path to godhood, drawing ever closer to the moment of divine attainment. Current progress: 61%.]

　[Effect ①: The Moon Goddess's magic power, attack, and defense will all increase by a certain percentage as her progress towards godhood increases. Current increases: Magic Power +6000, Attack +6000, Defense +6000. Most transformation-type ultimate skills targeting the Moon Goddess's Soul will be ineffective. Rank +1]

　【Effect ②: Armament I, the Moon Goddess Soul can be transformed into (Divine Armament? Moon Goddess), and the type of the Magic Card will also change accordingly.】

　【Effect 3: Armament 11, the Moon Goddess's Soul can be transformed into (Great Sin Armament? Elysium), and the type of the Magic Card will also change accordingly.】

　"The base attribute increase provided by the 'Moon Goddess' has indeed reached 6000 points!"

　With the bonus from the "Moon Goddess" passive, the base attributes of the twelve-star "Moon God Soul V" are comparable to those of the fifteen-star "Demon God? Abyss Walker".

　This is undoubtedly a rather terrifying growth.

　However, the "Moon Goddess" rank bonus still only applies to one level of the six ranks.

　Therefore, this was expected, so Dark did not feel regret. The "Soul of the Moon" magic card is different from ordinary magic cards, and even from ordinary "God Cards".

　Because it is the entirety of a future god who is progressing towards godhood, unlike those "god cards" which are merely a transformation of a part of a god.

　The "Soul of the Moon Goddess," whose divine creation progress has reached 61%, is already equivalent to a demigod. Its hidden order is quite high, but its surface rank can only ever be the fifth tier.

　Dark quickly reviewed the remaining special moves of "Soul of the Moon IV".

　Aside from "Moon Goddess", the other special moves of "Moon Goddess Soul IV" are "Moon Goddess Weapon", "Moon Temple" and "Moon God Eclipse".

　"The Moon Goddess's Artifacts" are, as the name suggests, the divine artifacts of the Moon Goddess. There are three of them, hence they are also known as the Three Divine Artifacts.

　v

　[The Moon Goddess's Artifacts: The Moon Goddess possesses three divine artifacts: the Moon Goddess Mirror, the Moon Goddess Bow, and the Moon Goddess Armor.]

　The effects of the three artifacts, "Moon Goddess Mirror," "Moon Goddess Bow," and "Moon Goddess Armor," are no different from the effects of the three artifacts of [Moon God (Divine Armament)].

　This means that even without undergoing weapon evolution, "Moon Goddess Soul IV" can already summon three divine artifacts at any time, instantly transforming into a fully armed form.

　Furthermore, since the level and stats of "Moon Goddess Soul IV" already surpass those of "Moon God (Divine Weapon)," its actual combat power has already exceeded that of "Moon God (Divine Weapon)."

　But this is natural.

　If a major leap forward doesn't result in this level of improvement, then it's better to... still make that leap!

　The next special move of "Soul of the Moon IV" is "Temple of the Moon", which is also a continuation of the special move of "Soul of the Moon III".

　Its effectiveness has been improved compared to the original.

　[Moon Temple: Conjures a sacred and magnificent Moon Temple in the sky, granting (Moon Goddess's Blessing) to all life within its area of ​​effect. If a being is a (Moon's Kin), they will gain (Charming Body) and (Moonlight Praise). Additional special moves: Moon Goddess's Chariot, Moon Goddess's Tiger.]

　[Moon Goddess's Blessing: The Moon Goddess bestows a blessing, restoring all life within the Moon Temple's shroud to half of its maximum health.]

　[Charming Body: Sometimes makes the opposite sex who comes into contact with her captivated.] [Moonlight Blessing: Absorbs moonlight, restoring 2% of maximum mana per second.]

　[Moon Goddess's Chariot: The Moon Goddess's mount, which can be summoned independently.]

　[Moon Goddess's Tiger: A guardian beast kept by the Moon Goddess in the Moon Temple, it can be summoned independently. The Moon Goddess's Tiger inherits half of the Moon Goddess's attributes and can be ridden.]

　First is "Moonlight Praise," which originally restored only 1% of maximum mana per second, but now restores 2%.

　A 1% increase may seem small, but it's actually double the power. Based on "Moon Goddess Soul IV V's" base magic power of 13,000, summoning "Moon Temple" grants a magic power regeneration of 260 points per second.

　The speed at which this magic power recovers is already quite terrifying. Moreover, the effectiveness of this ultimate technique still has room for improvement.

　In addition, there is an extra special move called "Moon Goddess Tiger". This means that "Moon Goddess Soul IV" can summon "Moon Goddess Tiger" at any time without first undergoing "Armed Evolution".

　The "Armed Evolution" effect only lasts for fifteen minutes. Originally, once it degenerated, the "Moon Goddess Tiger" would disappear, but now it can remain permanently. Moreover, the "Moon Goddess Tiger's" star rating and three-dimensional attributes have also increased. Dark continued to investigate and quickly learned the detailed data of the "Moon Goddess Tiger".

　Card Name: Moon Goddess Tiger [Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: 080088o8oeoo] [Race: Bird Beast]

　「属性：暗系」【魔力：3500+3000]【攻击：3500+3000】【【防御：3500+3000】

　【Ultimate Skills: Beast of the Moon Goddess, Wings of Moonlight, Roar of the Moon Tiger, Power of the Moon God】

　As a twelve-star magical spirit, "Moon Goddess Tiger's" total 6500 points in all three attributes may seem insufficient. However, it is actually quite outstanding among regular twelve-star magical spirits.

　Its ultimate move, "Moon Goddess Beast," also grants it the [Rank +1] trait, allowing it to exist as a fifth-tier magical spirit. Apart from that, the composition of "Moon Goddess Tiger's" ultimate move remains almost unchanged.

　"Moon Tiger" is still "Moon Tiger," only it has become stronger.

　The final special move of "Soul of the Moon IV" is "Lunar Eclipse". Although the name of the special move has changed, it is actually "Lunar Eclipse".

　v

　[Lunar Eclipse: Summons moonlight to attack the target. Each beam of moonlight inflicts corrosive damage and briefly stuns the target. Up to thirty-six beams of moonlight can be summoned consecutively. Its power is doubled if used during moonlit night or within the area of ​​the Moon Temple!]

　Compared to "Lunar Eclipse" in "Soul of the Moon III", "Lunar Eclipse" can summon twelve more beams of moonlight.

　This significant increase transforms "Moon Goddess Soul IV" into a true magic-based turret.

　Unfortunately, "Eclipse of the Moon" still cannot be cast alone, which greatly narrows its application range.

　Overall, "Moon Goddess Soul IV" is an all-around "magical spirit" that excels in both offense and defense.

　Although it is only at the fifth tier, if it is used at full power, it can easily kill the "God Card" at the sixth tier.

　Thirty-six beams of moonlight, even if each beam only deals 1,000 points of damage, still amount to a full 36,000 points of damage, enough to kill almost all the "God Cards" in one go.

　The "Moon Goddess Mirror" and the "Moon Goddess Armor" provide it with complete defense and defensive reflection.

　The "Moon Goddess Bow" provides control abilities, while the "Moon Temple" provides healing abilities.

　It's not a "God Card," but it surpasses even a "God Card"! It's practically perfect.

　Furthermore, this "Soul of the Moon IV" can still be Special Summoned by converting it into an "Armed Card".

　But when it comes to the conversion of "armed cards"...

　Just as Dark was about to command "Moon Goddess Soul IV" to begin "Armed Evolution", he suddenly saw it quickly pick up a "Root Divinity" and gulp it down!

　"Suck it!"

　She swallowed every last drop of the silvery-white liquid from the corner of her mouth, and a blush returned to the face of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess".

　Dak's lips twitched, and he remained silent.

　Four left!

　The speed at which the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" digests and absorbs the "Original Divinity" has become significantly faster.

　As the fourth "Root Divinity" was also digested and absorbed.

　Its divine creation progress immediately increased from 61% to 65%.

　"Only four percent increased."

　Although the progress that a single "Root Divinity" can increase is decreasing as the progress of divinity forging increases, this is still too little!

　At this rate of increase, even if the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" absorbs all four remaining "Original Divinity" at once, it won't improve much.

　Dark's excitement subsided considerably, and he calmed down completely.

　Meanwhile, the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" continued to greedily absorb (the primordial divinity).

　The fifth one.

　The progress of forging the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has increased from 65% to 69%.

　Surprisingly, the increase did not decrease.

　But this might simply be because this "Root Divinity" is of higher quality. The sixth branch.

　The progress of forging the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has increased to 72%.

　The increase was only three percent. The seventh one.

　The progress of forging the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has increased to 75%.

　The increase remains at three percent.

　The eighth branch.

　That was also the last one.

　The progress of forging the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" has increased to 76%.

　It only increased by one percent!

　“Judging from the magnitude, this rate of improvement is clearly problematic,” Claire said with a frown before Dark could even speak. As the “Sage of the Beasts,” Claire had extensive experience in administering drugs. She didn’t need Dark to explain further to see that the growth of the “Soul of the Moon Goddess” had slowed down.

　The reason for this phenomenon...

　"Could it be drug resistance?"

　Can the concept of drug resistance be extended to the absorption of "Root Divinity"?

　Dark frowned and asked

　His reply was from Alvette: "It's possible that the Moon God's rules contained within the [1 in 2 L Six Source Divinity] are only a single element. Even the 'Root Nature' that the Lord or others recognize cannot make up for the missing part of the power, thus causing a phenomenon similar to drug resistance."

　“After all, it’s just remnants of a god’s death,” Claire agreed. “If we could receive Artemis’s gift, perhaps we could immediately replenish the missing ‘Original Divinity’.”

　Arvit shook her head, saying, "The Twelve Great Divine Beasts have many, including the 'Root Divinity.' Moreover, they absorbed the 'Root Divinity' of the Chi clan, making them their 'Subordinate Gods.' This is not what we want." Then, she changed the subject, adding, "There are many more 'Speed ​​Bodies' in this temple; keep searching, and we'll surely find new 'Moon Gods.'"

Chapter 1695 Darkdemon and the Cross-Level Match (1/2k)

　There are indeed many other "divine bodies" scattered throughout the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple," and the forty-nine "divine bodies" in the temple are only a part of them.

　However, during these days of exploration, Dak only found some scattered "divine bodies" in various places, but did not find a temple with a large number of "divine bodies" like this one.

　Since the ice coffins could not be moved, they only marked them on the map and did not move the scattered "divine bodies" back.

　This is closely related to their choice of exploration direction.

　For safety reasons, Dark and Yarvit did not venture deeper into the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple".

　On the other hand, they haven't fully digested their current gains yet, so they're not in a hurry to explore further.

　But now it seems that new motivation for exploration has emerged.

　...

　"Ideally, all we need is to find a divine body that wields the authority of the 'Moon Goddess,' and we can absorb enough 'Original Divinity.'"

　After discussion, everyone reached a conclusion.

　Without Darkl needing to say much, Alvitt and Claire had already begun discussing how to continue their exploration and find the divine body that held the power of the "Moon Goddess".

　Dark occasionally chimed in, but spent most of his time communicating with the "Soul of the Moon Goddess".

　The progress of the divine creation has been increased to 76% of the "Soul of the Moon Goddess", which is very close to the point of recreating the divine creation.

　It is currently in a state of extreme excitement, making normal communication with it somewhat difficult.

　Dark's main goal was to learn from it the feeling of gradually approaching the end of the path to godhood, thereby accumulating experience.

　In addition, nurturing the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" from nothing into a god was also of great significance to him.

　This means that he created a "new god" from nothing. This feat of "creating a god" will be recognized by the will of the world—as an opportunity for him to become the "God of Magic".

　However, this opportunity should typically only be triggered after the "Magical Path" is forged. It's uncertain whether it will be helpful for him to compete for the position of Magical God before the "Magical Path" is forged.

　In short, after the "Magic God Path" was forged, he could very well become the God of Magic directly through this feat.

　This is because his entire process of making the "Soul of the Moon Goddess" a god was based on magic.

　This is equivalent to creating a small "path to godhood" within the larger framework of "magical divine path".

　This behavior is like a scaled-down version of what the twelve gods are doing now. Therefore, as long as he successfully cultivates the "Soul of the Moon God" into a god, he can at least secure a divine position.

　This can also be considered a "path to godhood".
