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

　Even the 15-star "Demon God: Abyss Walker" cannot be considered "Seventh Tier".

　However, in fact, Duck has not yet clearly defined the difference between the "seventh step" and the "sixth step".

　Furthermore, his definition of the "Seventh Step" is contradictory. He defines the "Seventh Step" as "God".

　However, he himself had already created a "true god" through magical means, namely the "moon goddess" Serena.

　However, the moment Serena became a god, she broke free from the limitations of the magic cards and was no longer a magic spirit.

　This conflicts with the very nature of magic.

　If becoming a god means no longer being a magical spirit, then the so-called "Seventh Ladder" would be completely impossible.

　Therefore, the exact nature of the "Seventh Ladder" magic cards remains to be discussed.

　It can be a "god," but it must not have a "divine personality." Therefore, it is very likely a manifestation of "authority."

　Based on this, it can be inferred that "Lucidmon: Satan Mode" is very likely the manifestation of the authority of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

　Thinking of this, Dak suddenly paused for a moment, and then immediately realized a possibility.

　If "Lucemon: Satan Mode" is the manifestation of the authority of the "Seven Deadly Sins," then wouldn't it be equivalent to an epitome of the "Demon God of the Seven Deadly Sins"?

　If he successfully creates "Lucemon: Satan Mode", will it lead to the reawakening of the "Seven Deadly Sins"?

　"If that day ever comes, we must be extremely careful." Dark's expression gradually became serious.

　He looked up at "Lucemon: Fallen Mode," his mind racing, and finally decided to hold off for now and test the effects of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode's" special attack.

　The "Paradise Lost" mode of "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" involves the "Abyss" and is not suitable for testing in the open.

　After thinking for a moment, he decided to bring "Lightmon: Fallen Mode" into the bottom of the lake for testing.

　Beneath the lake of St. Marian's Academy lies a secret space where the remains of the "Sun and Moon Serpent" are hidden.

　Soon after.

　Dark then took "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" into the underwater space of the lake.

　He then tested each of Lucemon's special moves and had it summon Paradise Lost.

　As described in the description of the ultimate move, this "Paradise Lost" is a lost Eden corrupted by the abyss. From the outside, it is basically a wasteland surrounded by broken walls and ruins.

　In the very center of this wasteland, only one giant tree remains, and that is the "Tree of Good and Evil".

　On the Tree of Good and Evil are two apple-like fruits that emit alternating black and white light.

　Consuming the "Fruit of Good and Evil" allows one to switch between light and darkness.

　During the process of summoning "Paradise Lost", "Lucemon: Fallen Mode" turned into black mud and sank into the ground.

　Only when "Paradise Lost" was summoned did it emerge from the ground again in the form of "Fallen Serpent".

　The "Fallen Serpent" was not entirely the same as the giant black serpent in Dark's memory.

　It was entirely black, covered in dragon scales, and even its head resembled a dragon's. However, it had no horns. Its body was about twenty meters long, with an extremely thick waist. Black mud flowed from the gaps between its scales, making it appear pitch black and filthy.

　It coiled around the Tree of Good and Evil, looking down with a chilling gaze, radiating a heavy pressure.

　The divine aura of the sixth tier could still be felt emanating from it, though it had lost some of the "Abyssal Serpent's" chill and gained more of its "arrogant" domineering presence. Dark quickly checked its attribute changes and discovered that it had changed from a dual-attribute of light and dark to a pure dark attribute.

　Card Name: Fallen Serpent

　[Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: o68o8oocoeoo]

　[Race: Demon]

　"Attribute: Dark" [Magic Power: 12000] [Attack: 12000] [Defense: 12000]

　[Ultimate Techniques: Undying Divine Body, Abyss Serpent Burial]

　Although it is a "snake", it is still a "demon species".

　This "Fallen Serpent" has its three main attributes boosted to a terrifying 12000 points.

　0

　However, it only has two ultimate moves.

　One of them is the "immortal divine body".

　v

　[Undying Divine Body: The Fallen Serpent possesses immortality; as long as it is within Paradise Lost, it cannot die. It has a immunity effect to almost all transformation-type ultimate attacks. Magic Power +3000, Attack +3000, Defense +3000, Rank +2. Its immortality radiates to all (Abyssal Serpents), granting immortality to (Abyssal Serpents) within Paradise Lost as well.]

　The second is "Abyss Snake Burial".

　v

　[Abyssal Serpent Burial: In Paradise Lost, the Fallen Serpent can summon countless (Abyssal Serpents) to entangle and bind all life, dragging it into the bottomless abyss. The (Abyssal Serpents) inherit half of the (Fallen Serpent's) magical attack and defense, and possess the property of corruption; life corrupted by them will suffer a series of negative status effects.]

　"An immortal divine body..."

　What makes "Fallen Serpent" most noteworthy is undoubtedly the "immortal divinity" described in its ultimate attack.

　As long as one is in "Paradise Lost", one will not die.

　This characteristic can even extend to the "Abyssal Serpent." Although the "immortality" emanating from the "Abyssal Serpent" is certainly weakened, a simple experiment will show that it's merely a difference in manifestation.

　The "immortality" of the [Fallen Serpent] lies in its inability to be killed. The "Abyssal Serpent's" immortality, however, is manifested in its ability to immediately resurrect and emerge from the earth even after being killed.

　The "Fallen Serpent" uses "Abyssal Serpent Burial" to summon "Abyssal Serpents," and the description of the number that can be summoned is "countless."

　However, "countless" does not mean that any number of "Abyssal Serpents" can be summoned at once.

　Instead, after activating this ultimate move, "Abyssal Serpents" will continuously emerge from the ground.

　Furthermore, the "Abyss Serpent" is essentially a condensation of black pollutants. Its magical attack and defense may not be high, but its pollution ability is extremely strong.

　The so-called "series of negative states" refers to almost all imaginable abnormal states, such as poisoning, corrosion, weakness, dizziness, blindness, and confusion.

　However, apart from a few guaranteed abnormalities such as poisoning and corrosion, most abnormal states are obtained randomly.

　Even so, it is still quite terrifying.

　Furthermore, ordinary "God Cards" should not be immune to the contamination of "Abyss Serpent".

　When faced with an enemy that is impossible to kill, can never be completely wiped out, and possesses the ability to entangle, bind, and contaminate, almost all life forms would feel despair.

　If you are dragged into the abyss by the "Serpent of the Abyss," there is absolutely no chance of survival.

　If a magical spirit is dragged into the "Abyss," one-third of its magical cards will be damaged as a result.

　However, both the descriptions of "Fallen Serpent" and "Serpent of the Abyss" have a limiting condition: that is, "being in Paradise Lost".

　The Serpent of the Abyss is unable to leave Paradise Lost.

　Although the "Fallen Serpent" can leave, it will lose its "immortality" once it leaves.

　Aside from its summoning and immortality abilities, its only other advantage is its high stats. Leaving "Paradise Lost" means giving up its greatest strength. Therefore, it's generally best not to leave.

　"Although it's somewhat subtle, I have a feeling that the overall strength of 'Lucemon: Fallen Mode' is actually quite high."

　"The determination of the effects of various ultimate moves needs to be tested through a large number of actual battles."

　"This is somewhat difficult at the moment."

　After pondering it carefully, Dark took out "Elysium V" from his card pack and tried to inject the power of "Elysium V" into "Paradise Lost".

　The main purpose of doing this was to measure the quality and quantity of the "great sins" needed to fill "Paradise Lost".

　But just moments later, Dark frowned abruptly and stopped the infusion of "Elysium V" power.

　—In that instant, he sensed the aura of the "Abyss"! It was almost exactly the same aura of the "Abyss" he felt when summoning the [Demon God Abyss Walker].

　That undoubtedly comes from the same world.

　With just the infusion of "Elysium V", one can only feel the power of "Elysium" being sucked into the "Abyss", and cannot even reach the bottom line.

　"Fallen Serpent, summon the serpent of the abyss!"

　Dark suddenly looked up and gave the "Fallen Serpent" the order to unleash its ultimate attack.

　"hiss--"

　The "Fallen Serpent" opened its massive jaws and hissed.

　The ground of "Paradise Lost" suddenly cracked open, and pitch-black filth surged out wildly. Countless black snakes, seemingly formed from polluted substances, emerged from the ground along with the filth, and in the blink of an eye, they were everywhere, densely packed, layer upon layer, a sight that made one's scalp tingle and instilled fear.

　After observing calmly for a few seconds, Dak suddenly stepped onto the edge of "Paradise Lost".

　As if sensing his presence, the countless black snakes surged towards him frantically. The closest snakes even coiled around his ankles, but did not attack him.

　Dark withdrew his foot, and the "Abyssal Serpents" that were actually attached to the magical shell fell down one after another, but a large number of black serpents had already gathered around.

　Clearly, they have a natural "desire to pollute" the existence of life, and they are extremely sensitive to life.

　However, they are not indiscriminate in their dealings with friends and enemies; at least they will not attack their owners. The "Abyss Serpent's" corrupting nature, however, is indiscriminate, so caution is still advised when avoiding it.

　But these are secondary.

　Dark summoned them not to test their aggression, but to probe the existence of the "Abyss".

　He originally intended to summon a regular magical spirit for testing.

　But the moment the "Serpent of the Abyss" appeared, he sensed the presence of the "Abyss".

　—Right under your feet!

　To be precise, it is directly below "Paradise Lost".

　When the "Fallen Serpent" unleashes its ultimate move, "Abyssal Serpent Burial," a bottomless "Abyss" forms beneath "Paradise Lost."

　The so-called "dragging life into an abyss" is actually just "dragging" in the physical sense.

　Dark's gaze grew increasingly profound.

　For some reason, the title of a book suddenly popped into his mind: "Walking into the Abyss".

　The book he found in the library when he first entered the academy. The book written in ancient demonic encrypted script. "Enter the abyss, gaze upon the abyss."

　"Clear away the fog, see the truth, and the full moon will guide you."

　He murmured to himself, his right foot unconsciously lifting as he stepped into "Paradise Lost" once more.

　"Netherworld God Technique".

　In an instant, his thoughts focused on a single point, and Dak snapped out of his confusion, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

　There was no "mist" or "full moon," but the "abyss" always gazed upon him.

　He recalled his wise decision to put the book back on the shelf after finding information about "Devimon" in it, and felt a great sense of relief.

　The first time he entered the library of St. Mary's College, he discovered the book titled "Into the Abyss" among thousands of books.

　The book "Into the Abyss" contains a wealth of information about demon species, making it a veritable encyclopedia of demon species.

　But he immediately sensed something was wrong with the book and put it back on the shelf.

　It was never found again after that.

　Later, he discovered a book with the same title in Angus Jeffrey's possession. But it was made by the Demon King and had no connection to the original book, "Into the Abyss."

　As for now.

　That copy of *Into the Abyss* should still be in Virtold's possession. But Darke was unaware of this.

　He is now only grateful for his choice back then. If he hadn't put that book, "Into the Abyss," back, he probably would have already stepped into the forbidden abyss.

　But now, he already possesses relatively strong abilities. If he wants to gain a deeper understanding of the "Abyss," perhaps finding that book would be a good choice.

　Let's wait and see!

　—It's not time to get close to the "Abyss" yet!

　Dark suddenly awoke again, his gaze toward the ground beneath the "Lost Garden" growing increasingly grim.

　The "abyss" was influencing him and tempting him, but he would not be seduced by it.

　Command the "Fallen Serpent" to recall the "Abyssal Serpent".

　Dark then saw all the "Abyssal Serpents" retreat back into the cracks in the ground. Even the pollutants were sucked back into the earth. Immediately afterward, the "Abyssal" aura emanating from the ground vanished rapidly.

　From [Demon Abyss Walker] to "Light Beast: Fallen Mode", his intersection with the "Abyss" is becoming more and more frequent.
