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

　[Race: Demon]

　[Attribute: Light/Dark]

　【Magic Power: 9000】

　[Attack: 9000]

　[Defense: 9000]

　[Ultimate Techniques: Crown of Pride, Judgment of Life and Death, Dance of Light and Darkness, Paradise Lost]

　It is not pure darkness.

　[Lucidon (Fallen Mode)] is indeed a magical spirit possessing both light and darkness.

　However, its race is a pure demon, its level is twelve stars, and its three-dimensional attributes are the same as the three archangels. But it is on average a thousand points higher than "Seraphimon", which is also twelve stars. Perhaps this is the value of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode".

　Lucemon Fallen Mode's first finishing move is "Crown of Pride," which is clearly a symbol of its power as one of the "Seven Great Demon Lords."

　Furthermore, "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" has superior stats across the board compared to "Lilithmon" in "Elysium," making it the strongest among the Seven Great Demon Lords in terms of base stats.

　Dark clearly sensed that its rank was +2, but he didn't know if it was all integrated into the ultimate move "Crown of Pride".

　After infusing more magic, he quickly received feedback on the relevant information.

　v

　[Crown of Pride: [Light Beast: Fallen Mode] can draw power from the [Crown of Pride]. When it dons the crown, the immense power of the Seven Demon Lords is manifested: Magic Power +1000, Attack +1000, Defense +1000, Rank +1, and immunity to some transformation-type special attacks. Magical spirits under its aura (of Pride) will become even stronger: Magic Power +500, Attack +500, Defense +500, and gain (Intimidate). Additional Special Attack: Seven's Domination.]

　[Intimidation: Doubles the intimidation upon entering the battlefield, causing opponents to cower in fear and potentially incapacitating them.]

　[Seventh Overlordship: [Lucemon: Fallen Mode] draws power from the [Crown of Pride] to overlord over all opponents who cannot withstand its pressure, reducing their attack, defense, and speed by half when facing (Lucemon: Fallen Mode). For each overlord defeated, (Lucemon: Fallen Mode)'s pressure increases.]

　“Intimidation, domination…”

　"A finishing move that perfectly embodies the characteristics of 'arrogance'."

　"But as expected, 'Crown of Pride' only provides a one-level rank bonus to 'Lucemon: Fallen Mode,' the other level of rank bonus must be in another special attack."

　"Let's read 'Seven Overlords' first."

　"The final effect of this ultimate technique is somewhat similar to 'King of Titans,' but the criterion for determining whether 'Seven Overlords' can take effect is actually 'intense pressure'?"

　[Pressure] is actually a concept that cannot be quantified.

　In this world, what humans are most familiar with, and what can be called "pressure," is actually "power."

　Once a human warrior awakens their seventh meridian and comprehends "momentum," they can unleash a mental pressure that can be described as "intense pressure" during the release of "momentum."

　Unlike humans, creatures like dragons are born with an aura of power, and this aura grows stronger as their power increases.

　In addition, there is also the concept of "divine power" between gods and humans.

　[Pressure] cannot be quantified.

　Because it varies depending on the individual's state.

　The same dragon can display significantly different levels of power when it is just awakening and when it has just slaughtered its opponents.

　This applies to all living things.

　Whether "pressure" can be effective depends on the opponent's condition. Humans with incredibly strong willpower will not be afraid even when facing "divine power".

　Similarly, if a person has great strength but lacks the corresponding character, even when facing an opponent whose strength is far weaker than their own, they may still be intimidated by that opponent's "pressure".

　[Pressure] is such a thing.

　The aura emanating from "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" should, under normal circumstances, be somewhere between that of a "Demon King" and a "Demon God".

　No matter how terrifying "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" is in the Digital World, after being transformed into a magical spirit, it is now merely a demon king who has not yet reached the realm of a god.

　Its "pressure" could barely be called "divine might" among magical spirits. However, there is no "true god" behind it, so the "divine might" it releases still lacks the feeling of a "true god".

　The only way to solve this problem is to wait until Dakdemon becomes a god. However, it has an additional skill called "Intimidate," which doubles its "prestige" upon entering the battlefield.

　Even if it doesn't have a "true god" behind it, after doubling its "pressure", it should still be able to overcome the odds and suppress a portion of the "God Cards".

　Based on Dark's current perception, this should be the limit that "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" can currently achieve.

　Once an opponent is surpassed by it, its combat power will be instantly halved. Even if they were originally evenly matched, they will become ants that can be easily crushed.

　Furthermore, "Seven Overlords" is a powerful attack used against multiple targets. It also increases the user's "Pressure" after defeating a unit that has been overlorded.

　This means that it can accumulate "prestige" by defeating weak units, thereby subduing opponents that were originally unsubduable.

　Therefore, once "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" arrives, it should display its invincible power.

　Dark pondered for a moment, then looked at the second ultimate move of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" - "Life and Death Judgment".

　v

　[Life and Death Judgment: [Light Beast: Fallen Form] Uses orbs of holy and demonic light to create a three-dimensional magic square array of interwoven light and darkness, sealing the enemy within. Opponents sealed within the magic square array will face a judgment of life or death, with a 50% chance of survival and a 50% chance of death. The survivor will only suffer massive damage, while the deceased will be completely annihilated.]

　"Another instant-death finishing move!"

　Dark had some understanding of this type of special attack.

　The "Death Gaze" of the "Golden Land Cavalry" is a typical example. The difference is that even if "Life or Death Judgment" selects "Life," the player will still suffer the massive damage from this ultimate move.

　Moreover, the three-dimensional magic array created by "Life and Death Judgment" can also trap people, but that's about it.

　This is a powerful finishing move even without instant death effects; in short, it's quite useful.

　Dark did not find [position +1] in it.

　Therefore, he immediately looked at his next ultimate move – "Dance of Light and Darkness".

　【Dance of Light and Darkness: 【Light Beast: Fallen Mode】Immune to damage from light and darkness, it wraps its entire body in the power of light and darkness, granting a boost to its defense, attack, and speed, and unleashing tremendous power when delivering a kick. The attack and defense boosts are multiplied by 50%, and the speed boost by 30%.】

　Without a doubt, immunity to light and darkness is the absolute core of this ultimate move. As for the bonuses to attack, defense, and speed, they can only be described as abilities befitting the identity of the "Arrogant Demon King."

　Its advantage lies in its long duration, which can basically cover the entire lifespan of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode".

　However, "Dance of Light and Darkness" does not include [Rank +1]. This leaves only one ultimate attack remaining. Dark focused his attention intently.

　The final and most crucial finishing move of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" is called "Paradise Lost"!

　Paradise Lost is an epic poem written by the English statesman and scholar John Milton.

　It is considered one of the three great works of Western poetry, along with Homer's epic poems and Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.

　"Paradise Lost" tells the story of Satan, the rebellious angel in the poem. Cast into Hell for defying God's authority, Satan remains unrepentant, stubbornly resisting and seeking revenge in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve, tempted by a serpent possessed by Satan, steal the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden them to eat. Ultimately, Satan and his accomplices are condemned and transformed into serpents, and Adam and Eve are expelled from Eden.

　Its content is based on the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament of the Bible. The book consists of 12 books and reveals the original sin and fall of mankind with an epic grandeur.

　The ultimate attack "Paradise Lost" of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" is the embodiment of this epic.

　v

　[Paradise Lost: Lucemon: Fallen Mode unleashes its full power, summoning the lost Eden corrupted by the abyss. Within Paradise Lost, Lucemon: Fallen Mode transforms into the Fallen Serpent, summoning countless Abyssal Serpents to entangle and bind all life, dragging it into the bottomless abyss. The Tree of Good and Evil, growing within Paradise Lost, bears two fruits that can transform light into darkness and darkness into light. When Paradise Lost is filled with desire and original sin, Satan will be reborn. Even if Paradise Lost is not summoned, Lucemon: Fallen Mode gains Mental Resistance, Corruption Resistance, and Instant Death Resistance, plus +1 to its rank.]

　"Lost Garden, Lost Eden..."

　"A field technique!"

　“And that’s not all.”

　Darke got his wish and found the [Rank +1] in this last ultimate move.

　This proves that "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" has undoubtedly reached the sixth tier.

　However, this special move is significantly different from common field moves.

　First, it requires "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" to unleash all its power to summon it—that is, to consume all remaining magic power.

　After summoning "Paradise Lost", "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" will transform into "Fallen Serpent".

　The attributes of the "Fallen Serpent" are currently unknown. However, considering that the serpent in Paradise Lost is essentially a manifestation of Satan, it should not be too weak.

　Additionally, "Paradise Lost" does not have the usual field bonuses; it seems to only have the effect of "summoning countless (abyssal serpents) to entangle, bind, and drag all life into the abyss." According to the description, it can probably produce serpents from the ground to entangle and drag opponents. The key word to note is "abyss."

　"Serpent of the Abyss," "Bottomless Abyss," and the fact that this is the "Arrogant Demon King's" ultimate move make it hard not to associate it with that "abyss."

　Now that things have come to this point, Dark can basically conclude that the "Seven Deadly Sins Demon Gods" are also demon gods from the "Abyss".

　The "Abyss Serpent" summoned by the "Fallen Serpent" is very likely the same "Abyss Serpent".

　His eyes flickered as he quickly recalled the "lucid dream" he had in the "Temple of the Sun and Moon".

　The countless black serpents that eroded the divine kingdom, the terrifying giant serpent formed from those black serpents.

　Isn't it just like the "Fallen Serpent" and the "Serpent of the Abyss"?

　The ultimate attack of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" is likely to reach the abyss, just like "Demon Abyss Walker".

　Dragging all life into the "abyss," but what exactly is this "abyss"?

　What price will the magical elf, dragged into that "abyss," pay?

　Dak couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

　If everything is as he thinks, then the summoning of "Paradise Lost" will inevitably reveal the abyss's aura, making it unusable by ordinary means.

　However, "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" is not a "Demon God" after all. It can also be explained that he added filthy substances obtained from the Sun and Moon Temple and the Heavenly Court of the past to the magic card that made it evolve.

　With the existence of "Serpent Goddess" Nix preceding them, these things can be explained.

　But the true core function of this "Paradise Lost" is probably more than that. Dark couldn't help but look at that line of description:

　When Paradise Lost is filled with desire and original sin, Satan will be reborn there.

　Satan!

　Is it the real "Satan" or "Lucidmon: Satan Mode"? Judging from the name alone, it seems to be the former.

　But Darko leans more towards the latter.

　Through his interpretation, he believes that the so-called "Satan will be reborn here" is actually the transformation of "Luminosaurus: Fallen Mode" into "Luminosaurus: Satan Mode" after it has become "Fallen Serpent".

　—In the evolutionary path of "Lucemon," "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" is the Ultimate level, while "Lucemon: Satan Mode" is the Mega level. Stripped of its light, shrouded in darkness, this is the black revelation dragon that leads to the end—this is "Lucemon: Satan Mode"!

　In the Digital World setting, "Lucemon: Satan Mode" is the final form of "Lucemon," which is adorned with the crown of the Seven Deadly Sins and manifests in the form of a dragon.

　Of course, the "Luminous Beast: Larval Form" hidden within the black sphere [Isohanna (Hell)] held in its hands is the true form of "Luminous Beast".

　In conclusion, it is clear that the so-called "absorbing desire and original sin" should be the infusion of the power of the seven deadly sins into "Paradise Lost".

　"Lucemon: Fallen Mode" is evolved from "Pride V", and its existence is "Pride" itself.

　This means that at least the following five elements must be infused: Bliss V, Greed V, Envy V, Gluttony V, Wrath V, and Sloth V.

　At the very least, all seven Level V "Great Sins" must be collected for "Lucemon: Satan Mode" to be created! (Image: Lucemon: Satan Mode)

Chapter 1706 Darkdemon Walks into the Abyss (5k)

　However, the above is merely Dak's personal judgment based on the available information. The actual situation still needs further verification.

　In extreme cases, even a Level V "Great Sin" might not be enough. After all, "Great Sin V" only represents the initial foray into the divine realm and does not constitute a true attainment of godhood.

　Only those who reach the "Great Sin V" level can be considered to have mastered the authority of the Great Sin genealogy.

　However, wielding the power of great sins is tantamount to becoming a "demon god," which is not within Dark's consideration for the time being.

　Therefore, "Sin V" is his highest expectation at present.

　Even assuming this, he would have to master all seven types of "Great Sin Cards" of Rank V in order for "Lucidmon: Satan Mode" to be born.

　By fusing the power of the seven "great sins," and breaking through the barrier of the sixth tier, the "God Cards," an unprecedented seventh tier was created. This may be the meaning of the existence of "Lucidmon: Satan Mode."

　Having encountered a large number of "God Cards", Dark has gained a completely new understanding of the "God Cards" in the sixth tier.

　Generally speaking, the "God Card" of the sixth tier should be transformed from a divine soul or created by a god. Although it is called "God", it is actually "below God", touching the rules but without divine status, similar to a demigod.

　In other words, it is a "projection of God." To be God but not God is the sixth step.

　But if a mage wants to become a god, they cannot stop there. Thus, the "Seventh Step" came into being.

　Dark's definition of the "Seventh Step" is "God." Even magical spirits can unleash the power of a "true god." This is the "Seventh Step."

　The path of magic and divinity has not yet been forged, and nothing is certain.

　However, if it's a future where the path to magical divinity has already been forged, and a mage can become a god, they will inevitably need to further refine the "Seventh Tier" magical spirit cards.

　Otherwise, with only the "God Cards" of the sixth tier, what would they use to fight against the gods in robes?

　Therefore, the existence of the "Seventh Step" is inevitable; it just hasn't appeared yet.
