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

　"Agumon" → "SnowAgumon" → "Ice Wizardmon" → "Sagemon".

　And the ultimate form after "Wisdom Beast" will undoubtedly be "Ancient Wisdom Beast".

　As the light of evolution rapidly converged, Dark gradually saw the full form of the Ultimate-level creature, which was none other than "Ancient Sagemon"!

　[Ancient Sagemon] is an ancient, suddenly mutated Digimon with the Steel attribute.

　It has another name, "Ancient Mirror Beast," which is more in line with its existence.

　Because the "Ancient Sage Beast's" external body is a mirror draped in a green cloak.

　In the Digital World's lore, it is one of the legendary "Ten Warriors" who saved the ancient Digital World. It is said to be the original Ultimate form that existed in ancient times and the greatest sage in the Digital World.

　This demonstrates the extent of his high intelligence.

　However, its ultimate form, "Sagemon," was originally a highly intelligent magical spirit. Now that it has evolved into its ultimate form, its intelligence has also evolved, which is quite normal.

　Furthermore, "Ancient Sagemon" records all the ancient and outstanding wisdom of the Digital World, similar to the "Akashi Record".

　Unlike Cherubimon (Good), which has an internal dimension that can connect to a place similar to the "Akashi Records".

　The "Ancient Sage Beast" is the "Akashi Record" itself. Of course, such a setting cannot be completely transformed. Otherwise, Dark would truly have obtained an omniscient and omnipotent "god" who knows everything about the past, present, and future.

　In short, lowering your expectations might actually lead to a pleasant surprise.

　Dark immediately channeled his magic to examine the detailed information of the "Ancient Sage Beast".

　[Image: Ancient Sage Beast]

　Card Name: Ancient Sage Beast [Type: Spirit Card]

　"Level: 000080000000" [Race: Demon]

　"Attribute: Dark" [Magic Power: 10000]

　(Attack: 7000] [Defense: 6000]

　[Ultimate Techniques: Book of Records, Mirror of Time, Laplace's Demon, Mark of the Ancient God]

　It's safe to say that he truly deserves the title of "the wisest person in the digital world," as his magic power of 10000 points is quite considerable.

　Of the twelve Ultimate-level Digimon that Dark currently possesses, aside from Barbamon, one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, only the [Hoyamon Shrine Maiden Mode] has a slightly higher magic power than [Ancient Sagemon].

　And that's just panel data.

　Like Sagemon, Ancient Sagemon is a Dark-type Demon, and both are embodiments of "curiosity." Its core special attack, "Book of Records," is similar to Sagemon's "Book of Knowledge," and both are upgradeable special attacks.

　However, the difference between a "book of records" and a "book of knowledge" is still quite significant.

　The former can only increase magic power, while the latter can not only increase magic power, but also increase the defense and magic power of the "Book of Knowledge" in tandem.

　In addition, "sages" can enter books and move between them.

　However, the "Book of Records" of the "Ancient Sage Beast" does not contain these abilities.

　From this perspective, the "Book of Records" held by the Ultimate-level "Ancient Sagemon" seems to be inferior to the "Book of Knowledge" held by the Perfect-level "Sagemon".

　In fact... it really is not as good!

　……

　After careful examination, Dak confirmed this rather subtle fact.

　v

　[The Book of Records: The existence of the Ancient Sage Beast is itself a book of records. It records all its thoughts, observations, and experiences in this book. Each new page of the record grants it a certain number of magic points. The Ancient Sage Beast uses the records in the Book of Records as a basis to deduce the future; the more detailed the records in the Book of Records, the higher the accuracy of the deductions. Rank +1.]

　That's right.

　Aside from increasing its magical power, the "Book of Records" only has the ability to predict the future.

　The projections of the future are not divination or prophecy, but rather so-called "data-driven projections".

　If a wise person could know the forces of all natural motion and the positions of all naturally formed objects at any given moment, and if he could also analyze this data, then the motion of the largest objects in the universe, down to the smallest particles, would be contained in a single, simple formula.

　For this wise man, nothing is ambiguous; the future will only appear before him as clearly as the past.

　This is Laplace's determinism.

　The future predictions of the "Book of Records" are based on this. This is a big data prediction that has nothing to do with the authority of "fate," so it will naturally not be interfered with by the "god of fate."

　However, data deduction requires "accumulation," and what the "Ancient Sage Beast" lacks most is "accumulation."

　"Ancient Sage Beast" is the same as "Book of Records".

　This statement sounds cool, but it actually means that once an "Ancient Sage Beast" degenerates, the contents of its "Book of Records" will also be reset to zero.

　This makes it impossible for "accumulation" to ever take shape.

　It's the same predicament as the "Sage Beast".

　However, the "Book of Records" of the "Ancient Sage Beast" is not entirely inferior to the "Book of Knowledge" of the "Sage Beast".

　First, the "Book of Records" records all the information.

　Furthermore, with the birth of the "Ancient Sage Beast," it is constantly recording...

　Its initial accumulation is very fast, and each new record on each page will give it a magical increase of several points.

　The number of magic points gained varies depending on the content recorded. It's not like the "Book of Knowledge," where each page grants a fixed 10 magic points.

　A single page of the "Ancient Sage Beast's" record might only provide it with 1 point of magic power. But it's also possible for a single page to provide 100 or 1000 points.

　Even within fifteen minutes of its evolution, it can simultaneously gain magical power.

　This is where it surpasses the "book of knowledge".

　Furthermore, the future predictions of the "Book of Records" can also be narrowed down to the predictions of the other party's actions.

　By collecting enough combat data, one can deduce the opponent's next move.

　The accuracy rate of these kinds of deductions is generally very high. The required "accumulation" is also not too great.

　In this way, the Ancient Sage Beast can anticipate the enemy's moves in battle.

　That's basically it.

　The "Book of Records" also endowed the "Ancient Sage Beast" with computer-like memory and calculation abilities.

　If it can maintain this form for a long time, it can even be used as a "computer".

　Unfortunately, it is currently only one of the ultimate evolution forms of "Agumon".

　Continue reading.

　Ancient Sagemon's second ultimate attack is "Mirror of Time and Space." "Time and space" is a simplified term for the combination of time and space. The "Mirror of Time and Space" is the mirror on Ancient Sagemon's body.

　It possesses the unique power of both time and space.

　v

　[Mirror of Time and Space: Ancient Sage Beast's mirror connects the past and the future, this place and that place. Using the Mirror of Time and Space, attacks received in the present can be transferred to the future, and attacks received in this place can be transferred to another place. Ancient Sage Beast can also use the Mirror of Time and Space to transfer time and space, traveling from the present to the future, and from this place to another.]

　"Time-space transfer to travel to the future, to travel through space." Upon seeing this, Dark couldn't help but open his mouth, somewhat stunned. He knew that the "Sage Beast" had a special technique called the "Time-Space Stone," which could interfere with time and space.

　However, that ultimate move can only speed up or slow down the target's perception of time, and shorten or increase the target's movement distance.

　The former is actually aimed at "time perception", while the latter... can indeed compress or extend space.

　However, there are actually quite a few spells that can compress or expand space. Not to mention various enchanted chambers, for example, Professor Mitia's pumpkin carriage has an interior space that is much larger than the carriage itself.

　So the "Time Stone" ultimate move is actually nothing special. When Dark encountered the "Disordered Time Flow" in the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple," he didn't even think of the "Sage Beast."

　But the "Ancient Sage Beast" is clearly different. "What do you mean by traveling to the future?!"

　Although ever since learning that the "Goddess of the Snow Mountain" is the "Goddess of Time and Life," Dak has often wondered whether she can travel through the past and the future.

　However, in the "Snow Mountain Goddess Temple", what he encountered was more of a "time stop", and there was no phenomenon of time travel to the past or future.

　I never expected that this "ancient sage" would actually have such abilities. However, theoretically speaking, "traveling to the future" is definitely easier to do than "traveling to the past," and it is also less likely to cause time paradoxes.

　Like space, time has the ability to self-correct. Therefore, "traveling to the past" should be extremely dangerous, while "traveling to the future" is relatively safe.

　If we compare the passage of time to a film reel playing at a constant speed, then "traveling to the future" simply results in the deletion of a segment of one's life from the present to the future.

　Whether before or after time travel, everything is in the "present continuous tense" and is not affected by the power of time correction.

　So the real problem is that the "Ancient Sage Beast" can travel to the future, just a few seconds in advance.

　Depending on the time of travel, the application of this ultimate technique will change dramatically.

　Dark continued to infuse magic, trying to get as much feedback as possible.

　He quickly determined the time the "Ancient Sage Beast" could traverse. A maximum of five seconds!

　Five seconds may not seem like much time, but for a mage, it is enough to calmly complete a normal summoning spell.

　If the timing of the crossing is inappropriate, it is tantamount to giving the other party five seconds of leeway, which is not only unhelpful but also harmful.

　However, if the timing of the time travel is right, those five seconds can decide the outcome. Moreover, the "Mirror of Time" can alter not only time, but also space!

　The only regret is that the "Mirror of Time" cannot carry life forms other than the "Ancient Sage Beast" through time.

　In short, the "Mirror of Time" combined with the "Book of Records" can produce unexpected results.

　However, neither the "Book of Records" nor the "Mirror of Time" effectively enhances the combat power of "Ancient Sage Beast." This already occupies two slots for its special attack. [Ancient Sage Beast] has two more special attacks remaining. Its third special attack—"Laplace's Demon."

　[Laplace's Demon: The ancient sage beast, through its ultimate wisdom, deduced the coordinates to another world, sending the target there and sealing them off forever.]

　"hiss--"

　Dark took a deep breath. Another banishment-type finishing move.

　Moreover, this exile is not to a different dimension of the same world, nor is it related to the "Abyss," but to a very distinct other world!

　Dark couldn't determine which other world's coordinates the "Laplace's Demon" of the "Ancient Sage Beast" could lead to, and its feedback didn't mention this either. It didn't even explain how this ultimate technique was achieved.

　The only thing we know is that it can indeed send a unit to another world.

　As for whether this other world includes the world where Earth is located...

　Today it is today.

　Dark no longer had much attachment to his original world.

　Because he was reincarnated after death, and had no relatives or friends in that world. But if possible, he certainly wouldn't mind returning for a visit. However, the "Demon of Laplace" cannot create a two-way portal; it has probably only found a spatial singularity that leads to another world. After reading the entire information about the ultimate technique, Dark even felt that it was impossible to use it in a duel arena that restricted the space.

　Because the coordinates it deduces are likely not inside the duel arena.

　Although "sending to another world" sounds intimidating, its application is quite subtle.

　Dark's thoughts were complicated, and he could only continue to look at the "Ancient Sage Beast's" final ultimate move - "Mark of the Ancient God".

　v

　[Mark of the Ancient God: The Ancient Sage Beast used the power of space and time to summon an ultimate evil god from another world.]

　"Was this time an evil god summoned from another world?"

　Dak's focus hardened, and his expression gradually calmed down.

　He was no stranger to the idea of ​​"summoning evil gods".

　Even in his resource library, there are still quite a few remnants of evil god materials. But "summoning an evil god from another world" is a completely different concept.

　Simply put, the "Abyss" is located in another world, and Earth is also part of that other world.

　The concept of "evil god" is itself very vague.

　The "Ancient Sage Beast" cannot summon a specific evil god from the designated world. Therefore, the release of the "Mark of the Ancient God" is highly random and not without the possibility of failure.

　Furthermore, this ultimate technique inevitably reminded him of himself. He still couldn't understand how he had been reincarnated into this world. Was it the work of a "demon god," or purely accidental?

　Since a deadly technique like the "Mark of the Ancient God" exists, the possibility of it being a matter of chance is not entirely out of the question.

　Although some say that all coincidences are predetermined by fate.

Chapter 1721 Darkdemon and the Favor of the Leopard (5k)

　Overall, the composition of Ancient Sage Beast's special move is very subtle.

　Although it involves special powers of time and space, both the "Demon of Laplace" and the "Mark of the Ancient Gods" are highly uncertain and can only be used as a last resort when all other options are exhausted.

　However, its research value is perhaps even greater than its combat suitability. Whether it's traveling to the "future" or "another world," or summoning an evil god from an "another world," these are abilities that, taken individually, are hard to believe in.
